[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] fracman:
I'll have to look at thjs. This is my first time rooting it and I used instructions from this thread. So the only thing updated here were instructions? I'm running the massive debliat Samsung rom and it's great. Just thought I missed an update or something. But looks like it was just instructions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Bsober:
Just thought seeing it on a different page may help. It's all there in the op of this thread though. Oden the Oden files, adb load the root files. Make sure to have FlashFire.apk and VZW_TMO_HYBRID_PLAYSTORE_BS_FREE_STOCK_V5.zip files on your sd card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] fracman:
I see the files. But the steps are missing. I'm just wondering why the old instructions were removed when they worked. There was a particular order to.odin the Odin files. And then there was the step about leaving csc blank and using ap. Can't remember what it was and that's all gone now. It makes no sense for a new person like me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
I'm adapting this for the S7 flat and I need some clarification. In the vzw folder, are the bin files all from the vzw firmware? I'm assuming the kernel is TMobile.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jsminnis:
While I agree, it wouldn't hurt to put the root instructions back, just to help get this rom loaded, it is no longer recomended to root and unroot back and forth because it causes issues with some apps. The point of this rom is to be unrooted so you can use all apps but in order to do so you must wipe data as per instructions. So, you could still root and unroot to make changes but you will have to wipe data and resetup your device everytime to ensure everything is working as intended. Therefore, rather than adding all of those instructions to a nonroot rom thread is just confusing. There are other threads out there with instructions on how to root and unroot, so read up on those then install this rom if you choose. If anything goes wrong during learning you can always flash the stock firmware in odin, (yet another thread). Trial and error and reading up is how we learn, there is nothing more rewarding than messing up your phone then figuring out how to fix it. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] mwshows:
I think a little confusion comes from the screenshots in the OP do not match the new instructions. For example new instructions do not say to flash the "return to status official tmo" after the BS free zip.... But it's shown in the screenshot. Also, right after the instruction to make sure to select wipe data, there is a screen shot of only wiping cache.

I know some screenshots may not go with the instructions, but it does cause some confusion when they show one thing and instructions say another, or don't say that step at all.

That aside, I've got all files, and I'm digging into this at some point today. Easy enough to remedy if we mess up but redoing stock firmware in ODIN. And I think we're all smart enough to figure this out :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] fracman:
Well, here's what I did. I flashed back to stock. Rooted using the other thread. Loaded all per instructions in first post. I personally want to keep root until I get the Verizon crap off. So I did all of that and now it keeps flashing with a screen saying my phone is locked. Custom binary blocked by Secure Boot. boot.img. Any ideas?

Edit. NVM, figured it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] fracman:
Ok.. Tried again from stock rom. Every time it reboots I get Custom Binary Blocked by Secure Boot. (boot img). Any ideas?

Edit: It should probably be noted in the first post to disable everroot in Flashfire. This was the cause.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Bsober:
Yeah, that's my favorite setup too.

How i remeber it from last time i did it is. I use these https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767138476 files to odin. Dont flash the csc file. Dont worry about the boot recovery image until later either.

Factory reset in recovery, then restart into boot loader Load the files you downloaded in the corresponding slots in odin BL,AP CP

Go thru full setup when it reboots. You will have to click on the gear in the keyboard and add English or it wont type. Don't add your acct. You'll have to fill out your acct info because of FRP but say no when it asks if you want to add your acct.

Restart into bootloader, flash Nougat_S7_Edge_EngBoot.tar in AP. You can get it here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120713401

When it restarts wait until it connects to your computer.

In the VERIZON_TMO_HYBRID_NOUGAT_ADB_INSTALL_V5 files run Verizon_TMO_Istall. It'll do its thing and reboot to bootloader. You can get it here. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634752341 Extract all files before using it.

Flash G935TUVU4BQB1_Boot_Recovery_Image.tar in AP and

CSC_VZW_G935VVZW4API3_CL8875708_QB11198937_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar in CSC

It'll reboot into recovery. Go to mount system and the factory reset.

I usually flash the modem update now in CP. Get it here. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120714064It will then boot up.

I like this instal personaly. Runs great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] shr000m:
you odin the 3 files from the modified tmobile rom they are labeld clearly ap cp and bl... after that flashes let the rom boot... you will see tmobile boot screen set phone up with no accounts no need to. then reboot to bootloader (download mode) flash eng boot in ap slot reboot then copy flashfire apk to phone then run root.bat on pc..... after it reboots you can then run the flashfire app on the phone and flash the modified official rom as per instructions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] DildoMaster:
I think I'm also having this problem. I think my WiFi Calling is working but I never see the "HD" symbol during calls. Did you figure out what's going on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] fracman:
This is exactly what needs to be in the OP. Thank you very much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
When making a VoLTE call, I get no dial tone, but the call still connects and sounds great. I don't seem to have this problem on non-VoLTE calls. Is anyone else having this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
From what I can figure this is a result of flashing the eng boot.img. The only way to fix this is wiping data. That's why I changed the directions. If the directions are followed and you don't try and reflash eng boot.img all will be fine. I have been at a school for last 3 days so that's why replies have been slow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
I haven't reflashed the eng kernel after the initial wipe, so I'm not sure at this point. You think it might be something in CSC? I haven't flashed CSC throughout the entire process.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
When you ran the hybrid play store zip did you choose wipe data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
Yes sir. I'm currently running the latest No_BS variant on my S7 flat. Everything else works great, including passing SafetyNet. No dial tone isn't the end of the world, but it has me constantly questioning if the call is connecting or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Wipe data and see if it will fix it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] fsunoles101:
Question [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]. Is there a Way to make the official status work for the T-Mobile variant? Loved the no bs remove 120 app option. But with the engineering kernel, after about three days of operation this thing is so unbearable to use and deal with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
In Aroma, it asks what service you want to use, with Verizon and T-Mobile being the options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] mwshows:
Do we flash the "Flashfire_Return_To_Staus_Official_TMO" zip right after the BS free zip... Or do we simply wipe data and not flash the return to official zip? There is a pic in the OP that shows flashing the return to status official zip, but the instructions do not list that step. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] fsunoles101:
Understood. But, Verizon is the only one that allows for official status. Not T-Mobile.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] quantum tao:
why use hosts file to block ads when we have adhell and disconnect pro that have actual app interfaces?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] junear:
There are privacy issues with using VPN traffic. Using hosts file is simple and faster solution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] quantum tao:
they are Knox firewall control. adhell is also open source.

using a host file means you have to root to edit it , and no way to turn it off if it blocks something you want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] t1231:
If we are adding sites to the host file for ad blocking do we use the 127.0.0.1 ip or the 0.0.0.0 ip? Thanks,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
I'm going to be releasing a new zip with more aroma choices including choice between host blocking and stock. And Choice of what apps you remove

Keeping my eye on this.

Ever since official big red 7.0 my battery life is terrible. I wish I could go back to the beta :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
Why can't you go back to the beta?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jfhanny:

911

Am I the only one who can't dial 911 on ps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] mwshows:
I had same problem. Solved by lowering volume by one notch when playing voicemails. It's actually "in call" volume I think if I remember right. So when the voicemail plays, hit volume down once and you should hear it. That worked for me.

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

Not sure what happened I may be double posting this. When the voicemail starts playing, hit volume down once. That actually lowers "in call" volume by one notch during playback... And for some reason it works. Try it and see if it works for you. Worked for me using the ear piece and speakerphone. Volume down once during playback... Kept at that volume it works every time for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
worked fine here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Yes anyone having trouble with no sound during skype hangouts etc lower your incall volume down one notch for some reason it disables speaker if call volume is set to maximum
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Lower incall volume down buy one notch speaker seems to get disabled if volume is set to maximum
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] junear:
Finally it worked for me! Was facing this issue for so long.

That's the trick! Thanks all.... You mail was annoying
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] appye:
Hello, before I take the plunge, I am hoping someone can verify that the hotspot function on this ROM does indeed bypass provisioning or detection, whatever it's called, allowing us to use more than 10gb in a month while still retaining LTE speeds, and not being dropped down to 3g for the remainder of the month...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] wrichards2009:
I'm a grandfathered unlimited user (true unlimited) and I've had 0 problems. My plan doesn't allow for any tethering either but it works perfectly. I don't know how it will work in terms of volume of usage though for people that have a restricted amount.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] DildoMaster:
I've used almost 100 gigs this month via hotspot so yeah it works perfect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] wrichards2009:
Are you on the new unlimited plan?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] appye:
I will be on the new unlimited plan shortly... I have the phone on cricket unlimited at the moment but am anxious to move to Verizon on the family plan... My wife and i, along with my folks makes 4, so only $45 each...

...Anyone care to share what their actual bill comes out to, vs the advertised price?

Your responses are encouraging! DildoMaster (hilarious!) are you on the new unlimited plan? If so, are you positive that you haven't been bumped down to 3g after reaching 10gb?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] DildoMaster:
Haha yeah still 4G speeds. And the price they say is with paperless billing and auto-pay on the account which saves $10 and doesn't include their taxes and surcharges which for me with 5 lines ends up being about $27. So with 4 lines I bet it will come out to $22ish in addition to what they say.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] appye:
That's not too bad... $27 for the whole account, right? Not pet line?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] DildoMaster:
Yes for the whole account.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] KjK89:
I'm guessing jfhanny's comment above (about a new update) was related to [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]'s comment above (which doesn't include a timeline...) but just want to check if an update came out in the last day or two that I missed...? I keep pretty up do date on the thread and changes to the OP and i don't see an update. Not trying to ask for an ETA, just if I missed a post with the latest and greatest zip :)

Im on v5 and would like to get Venmo and a few other things working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
I'm not familiar with Venmo, but I'm assuming it doesn't work due to SafetyNet. If you follow the latest instructions that were posted a few days ago, then you will pass SafetyNet. The only real difference is having to wipe SU in Aroma, as opposed to keeping SU in the old instructions. Install the SafetyNet test app in the PlayStore and run the test. If it's green, then you're good to go. If it's red, then reflash the ROM and wipe all data including SU.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] KjK89:
Thanks for the info. It is definitely a SafetyNet issue. I didn't know about the app, so I will definitely use it when I finally update. I was about to update to what is currently in the OP, but if there is an even more recent update here/coming I'll wait for that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] appye:
CVertigo1, are you planning on updating your S7 "flat" version once jrkruse gets the new version up with the extra Aroma choices?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] shr000m:
ugh... i edited the hosts file in system . etc of the VZW_TMO_HYBRID_PLAYSTORE_BS_FREE_STOCK_V2.zip i edited out everything but the first 4 entries and i reflashed from scratch still getting sites blocked.... i dont want any ad blocking what can i do to fix this? any eta on a release without the modified hosts file or what i did wrong i double checked that the hosts file is edited on the file i flashed and it is... this is really frustrating considering you cant root and change it without redoing the whole thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
New update will have choice to add adblocking or not
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ronschuck:
will give this a shot..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
New update is in the OP. You can now manually debloat and choose if you want ad blocking or not
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
As long as it's alright with jrkruse, I can do that.

So I've been reading and it seems like once you unroot you can't reroot? Can I just leave it rooted if I dont need Samsung Pay or any of those secure features?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] mwshows:
I just wanted to say thanks! Installed latest v6 and all is running great! Rooted v5 install, installed flashfire, and was back up and running in less than 20 minutes start to finish.

For any new person trying this. Make sure flashfire has everything in the right order (how they are listed in the instructions). And make sure to disable EverRoot.

Really easy and pain free process. Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Mibuix0r:
So can you confirm you can't be rooted in this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] conrad21233:
I have v5 on my phone currently. Do I have to root before installing this new one, v6??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] DX.Deception:
Okay, so I'm on ph1 with b4. Would it be best to use a root method for MM 6.0.1 or take the OTA to nougat then root and install this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] KjK89:
Again, great ROM! Thanks for all you do [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]!

Small item - the OP does seem a bit less clear than it used to be. I realize that this is not meant to have root once the ROM is installed, but it requires root to install, so i think those previous instructions were very helpful. Even just a link to another thread about rooting if coming from stock might help and some additional clarity about the fact that root is needed to start the process, but that it will not be rooted when its done.

Lastly, seems like we have more files than the instructions mention now... I think I can follow and get it working, but I think people would be more confident if it was a little more clear.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
You can root it using the eng kernel and root.bat supplied in the OP.

Yes, you will need to be rooted to flash the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] mwshows:
Yes. Install ENGKernel via ODIN first. Then root v5. Then run the root.bat file. I had to place everything from the root zip at the root of my C drive on the computer. Takes a few minutes to root then reboots. Then install flashfire. Add firmware, check all options listed in OP. Add Zip. Disable ever root. Make sure flashfire has everything in the right order (AP, BL, Zip, disable ever root, wipe, reboot). Then flash away!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] mtrain:
I'm currently on Jrkuse's 935 PI3 version. I was thinking about updating to this but had a question. My plan is to install this and then root to use Titanium backup to restore my apps. My understanding is that the eng kernel puts a hit on battery life. Can I unroot after restoring my apps to the stock kernel?

Thanks,

Micah
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] junear:
Is there any change with v5 other than optional ad blocking? I am with v5 and quite happy with it. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] DildoMaster:
Just to be clear-- looks like with the new method, aside from the beginning, there's no root involved? So after the ROM installs, there's no restoring our stuff with Titanium Backup?

I know rooting and un-rooting causes some issues but I'm probably going to do this regardless.

Edit: So I'm rooted now and have only gone through Titanium Backup to select what I want to restore and stuff and even rooted, it seems super fast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] DildoMaster:
I followed this and everything worked perfect, thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
No not unless you want to manually choose what apps to remove
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] RBThompsonV:
This might be a stupid question... but why not implement this with the Verizon version of the ROM rather than the T-Mobile version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] mwshows:
IMO it's because t-mobile has so many more controls for us that Verizon takes out. Maybe that's not why [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] does it... But it's definitely a plus.

Multi user is a cool feature that I use for example. Can't get that on verizon stock. Some call features as well.

So while the phone is on, in between these two steps, is it safe to go into the system folder and delete even more stock apps I don't want?

If so, could I just use a root file explorer? Or should I add the apps I want gone to your .bat file?
