You can try the method but you would need your own files and I dont know what is needed. So far this method only works on this Tmobile firmware. The verizon firmware this does not work on. Verizon must have patched this vulnerability. So you could try and see if your firmware would work that way you wouldnt have to try and add files of your own to get volte working and stuff

So would it be best for me to take the OTA to nougat and root to do this or stay on ph1 MM and root to install this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Because T-Mobile firmware for some reason has a dm-verity vulnerability when installed on Verizon phone when no cache image is flashed during installed. It doesn't exist on Verizon firmware

Battery life!!

I have had nougat for a couple of weeks and i just had to remove the bloatware. Hence i used the OTA flash after rooting with the eng boot available in this thread and one thing i have noticed is a huge drain in the battery. I have debloated the rom and using greenify. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Bsober:
Get rid of root
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] fracman:
So if we decide to keep su after flashing to remove additional apps how can I remove root after doing So? I hate the Verizon apps that stay installed with the massive debloat version. I want to keep su and then remove it after I think the apps.

T-Mobile has a new version of Nougat out.... BQC1 from 3/18.... thoughts on whether we can update to this version or if it's even worth the hassle?

On another note, any way we could install the Samsung One font while the eng kernel is flashed?

All...I installed this ROM on March 15....V2 I believe...Do I need to factory reset to go to the latest ROM or can i upgrade?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ahart814:
OK....so i wiped data....can i root again to do a few things and then go back to stock or is this not possible?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Bsober:
It's running very well. Thanks for this!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Im going to try and explain this. Ok say you root and use a file explorer and delete file A from the system/app folder because you dont want file A on your computer. Then you follow the direction In the OP. Well you notice your flashing firmware as per the directions. So anything you did the system is going to be undone because your flashing a system image so all apps are put back. Then the zip flashes the zip is what makes changes to system this is the only time any changes can be made to system is with the zip. The zip then flashes back the stock boot.img and then the bootloaders are flashed and everything becomes status official.

Ok lets talk Data now. Say you just want to restore some data so you root and do your thing. Ok now you follow the direction but this time in the Aroma Installer you decide hey Im not going to wipe data because I restored my data So you choose the option not to wipe data. All is done its booting up and all seems well. Except hey for some reason these apps wont work. So you get on the forum and say hey man this rom is great but man this app is not working so man can you fix this. Or hey my data is kindof funky text wont send. Well this is why I recommend the procedure I have.

This being said If you feel you need to reroot and do something go for it you can always just flashback the stock kernel. Now doing this some apps that require safetynet check will not work but these apps have never worked on rooted phones before anyways and some may continue to work as long as they were installed before you rerooted to do something. My best suggestion if your wanting to add something to system or data partion is that you learn ADB. You can flash eng boot.img and without rooting the phone you can do almost anything with ADB then simply flash stock image back and Everything will still pass safetynet check. The only problem may be is that in some cases when the eng boot.img is loaded it changes some data settings that have caused some issues with data and volte that only a data wipe can fix. I however think I have fixed these problems but dont complain if you do anything other than the directions. How ever if you have success please share for others. This whole thread is new territory this has never been accomplished on samsungs phones and for some reason it works on our phones only no other variant can do what we are doing so this is an adventure

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] LilCaz:
I don't know where I messed up, followed all directions (or so I thought) and am now getting a screen that says "Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked." How do I recover from here?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
You let flashfire inject SuperSU never let flashfire inject SuperSU.

Flash eng boot.img in odin phone will boot if rooted just start over but you may have to reroot then start over this time uncheck inject SuperSU
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] wrichards2009:
No offense to you guys thanks for all the hard work but the instructions are the only thing wrong with this. You basically have to read the whole thread to get bits and pieces on how to flash it correctly.

Your previous instructions were great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Why don't you give some input on instructions. I have always sucked at giving and following directions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Ok I updated the Instructions to make them more easily understood

Wow, some very detailed instructions there now for sure.!

I finally installed this. The only question I have is that I installed the new qc1 files and it shows the version as qa2??

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

I started over and it worked without issue. Though it shows that the version is qa1 and I used the new qc1 files....i definitely used the qc1 files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jsminnis:
Whats the difference between qc1 and qb1? Tried googling it but I can't find anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] wrichards2009:
When you do step one arent you basically changing your OS to 22mb? Cause mine bootloops from hell afterwards.

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] On step 12 it says v7 but it links to v5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] postal302:
From OP (as of March 26, 2017)

Steps 1-4 are to flash the rooted engineering kernel (gain root) and step 5 is simply to install FlashFire.

I'm assuming you can skip these steps if you're already rooted and have FlashFire installed correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
I fixed it thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Well this is a pretty tough question. If you need the practice rooting then do them again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Because I use the Verizon Build.prop so VVM and Wifi Calling will work but your running QC1 even though it doesnt say that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] conrad21233:
Ok thanks! Awesome Rom by the way!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Latest security patch thats the only difference besides minor fixes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
This is exactly why I pulled the rooting instructions to begin with. You were on MM werent you? If so Flash back the eng boot.img for MM and root then skip the rooting instruction and goto straight to 5 and follow from there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] postal302:
Didn't realize it was that difficult, the guide says you have to be on a rooted ROM but then gives steps to root anyway. Seems a little contradictory.

I'm coming from 6.0.1 U-Firmware rooted with FlashFire installed. I've followed yet another set of revised instructions in the OP and get stuck in a boot loop each time. Flashing back to stock and trying again ends in the same result but I'm having trouble nailing down the error. It also doesn't help that the OP tends to give standoffish responses instead of offer useful solutions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
People complained when they weren't there now your complaining that they are there. You have to take the initiative to figure things out. If you were unsure then do it. Do I literally need to tell people which end of the cord to plug into computer and the phone. I tell you what write some directions and I will add to OP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] postal302:
I'm actually criticizing because you're acting like an adolescent and complaining about the users who are coming to you for help with your poor directions. Maybe when you become a mature dev I'll look into your stuff but in the mean time good luck with your ROM kid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
See your still complaining about poor directions. Thanks for pointing out my lack of quality work. If you would read back I even said I'm not good at writing directions and made offer for someone to help me out. Of course no one has. I apologize to you and everyone else for my amateur work. Probably won't post anymore. Anyone feel free to take over thread
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] junear:
Come on. Its a collaboration effort, not only on Jrkruse. He has created the rom, explained it best he could and need others input to improve the rom and directions. I would request someone who has installed v7 to see if any instruction can be improved, post it here. I installed v5 and never faced issue with any direction.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Bsober:
Those are some of the most detailed instructions I've seen on xda. I remember when it was considered extremely rude to ask a developer to explain anything. They do this on there own with skills they learned on their own. They aren't here making money. No where does it say they have to teach those who don't have the skills. So far this developer has been very detailed and bent over backwards trying to help newbies run his creations.

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

This is exactly what i was trying to say. When a bunch of a holes expect a developer to come over to their house and show them how to do things, and others who always ask to include this that or the other thing instead of being grateful of what the developer is doing. This used to happen all the time. The best developers drop off because of all the ungrateful newbies and people asking for their own customization's added. You jerk wads run this guy off we're screwed!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
It's all good. I think directions are pretty solid now. I had a burger and a beer I'm good now

I'm thankful for your work man don't get it confused. I'm more then willing to buy you a couple beers for your effort (especially as a grandfathered unlimited user), I can't tether on nougat unless there's a rom like this out there.

Its just frustrating because I was able to use your first set of instructions that you had before (odin to tmobile rom, then root, then odin again, and use the setup thats included)

and now I don't know where to start Thanks again for your efforts.

Phew, cool except now these guys are driving you to drink. Be careful. (Just being silly;))

Incredible. Let's be honest here, I've been quite respectful until I received this in a reply:

And that's definitely not the first time I've seen responses like that on this thread.

I've been doing this for a long time and have seen incomplete guides lead to hard bricked devices because someone simply forgot to include an important step. That said, did you see this "noob" ask the dev for a fix when the ROM caused a soft brick? Nope, I asked for clarification so I could try again (after I already repaired my phone) and got "sarcasm."

Let's be even more honest, I've now been called a number of unpleasant things an the last few posts so if my bluntness is disrespectful then what is this warm reception I've been receiving?

If I've offended anyone I truly apologize, but let's try to be fair on all levels here. I'm done defending myself here. I hope all goes well for this ROM.

my phone keeps on getting stuck by the s7 edge logo. i have the verizon version but i'm running tmobile software. It's rooted and everything. after i flash the AP and zip and wipe (skipping BL since i'm on QC1), i make it to aroma and i select tmobile version and the wipe to pass safety net. oh also i have inject su disabled, zip the file is mounted on system and i have all 4 partitions selected in the ap file..

Any Suggestions???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] KjK89:
Thanks for going above and beyond with the instructions! I was able to follow the old one,s but they sound even more clear now!

You have given us something great with this ROM! Never thought I would have this kind of control and this many features on a Verizon Flagship phone from Samsung... not since they started locking things down so strictly in the last few generations.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] sincer:
Yes , please help, I'm in the same boat as well, VZW S7 Edge MM PI3 non rooted, when i flashed odin with the Nougat S7 Edge Engboot.ar.md5 phone reboots and gets stuck in boot loop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] mtrain:
[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] , I am planning on flashing this and had a question. I am current on your MM PI3 rooted. Normally I backup my apps using titanium and then restore them once I am rooted. I noticed you you say you can restore data via flashfire during the flashing process. So can I backup my data using flashfire and then just restore it as part of the flashing process? This would save me the need to reroot to use titanium. Sorry to bug ya, just have never used flashfire to back up and restore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] KjK89:
When on MM you would need to use MM rooting process, which you can probably find.

Or at this point you can flash the latest Nougat firmware via ODIN, then start over with the instructions of this OP. The stock Nougat is here:

You have Verizon or T-Mobile
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] DildoMaster:
Not sure if it's because of the updated firmware or because I accidentally opened it while rooted but Samsung Pay doesn't seem to be working for me after flashing the Eng kernel to root and restore my stuff with Titanium Backup after flashing (I've used the Flashfire return to Official status zip). I might try the Flashfire data backup and restore method tomorrow unless that will just restore Pay to the broken state.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
At the very bottom of OP you would need to follow these directions

Changing Or Reflashing Zip On Current Firmware

Basically you would need to restore data then do the process over without wiping data in aroma
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Everyone take note of the OP read the warnings about flashing bootloaders with flashfire then note the alternative method for updating bootloaders

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
You are welcome to use my directions from my thread. They are decently noob proof. I haven't used V7 yet, so I can't say whether they are compatible or not. I find that it makes things a million times simpler to just have everyone flash a virgin copy of the T-Mobile firmware with Odin before any rooting is done, then root and FlashFire flash the ROM. That way no bootloaders need to be flashed and it's almost impossible to hard brick. My instructions do allow for SafetyNet to pass as well. All you would need to do is change the links for flat files to edge files. Give them a gander and let me know what you think.
