Yup, made sure to disable EverRoot in Flashfire and did choose full wipe in Aroma. Do I need to flash this on a specific firmware? I've been using odin to get to QA2 and then beginning to install this ROM. Is this the wrong firmware to be using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Theroose:
Try using QA4 instead. That's what I have been using when flashing this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] ikoyhn:
I'm also wondering if it's possible to bake your own apps/different emojis into this, in my case I want Emoji Switcher just to get rid of those horrid samsung ones. If it is possible then this will be THE best thing ever:D

---------- Post added at 02:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 AM ----------

Alright, I'll download that tonight and maybe try re-flashing this on the weekend. Thanks for your help:o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Theroose:
I'd love that too and I have tried doing something with that, but it's a long process to do it manually and you will not be able to pass the safetynet after.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] ikoyhn:
Dang, I wouldn't even mind not passing safetynet, I dont use anything that really requires me to pass it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Theroose:
All you have to do is choose the rooted option then when it says "unauthorized modifications" reflash the eng. After that root and install the emoji switcher of your choice then using the root zip file that you downloaded onto your computer unroot. I haven't used it enough in this way to say anything abiut battery life or performance. Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] ikoyhn:
Yeah I'm just afraid that the reflashing the ENG root will make the battery worse, but if I can get the ROM to flash properly I'll test it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] PureLife90:
Do we have to be rooted before flashing this? I'm stock non rooted. Just trying to cut corners
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] appye:
So thinking about this... if the rule is that all is good so long as I inject files directly into the zip file, then I can edit my own debloating list by editing the aroma script myself, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
Have this on my 930vl now. Fm radio works. Notice a little lag here and there that wasn't there before the change though, suspecting it might just be nougat as mine had mm for the first fast I had it. Thanks for the work op. Now if someone could unlock the apn settings, that would be great
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Azuma73:
So this goes on your ext sd too?? AP_G930TUVU4BQB1_CL10376601_QB12449107_REV02_user_ low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5

Doesn't tell ya that until later in instructions... or am I reading this wrong!?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
Anyone else having video playback errors from gallery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mzup:
I followed these steps and it works perfect. No lag, no loss of SD card info. My only question is once this is complete, can I root the phone?

Thanks for your work on this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Azuma73:
Hadn't tried 'til I read your post.... I too get an error when trying to play videos from my gallery!?!?

***EDIT:Works via Google Photos & QuickPic(my default go-to)!!***
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] dclutter1:
Nope, just start at the beginning.

Yes. I'd find the current list for the 120-debloat and remove whatever you want to keep. Use 7zip to not break the zip and Notepad++ to edit.

I think I left it on the internal storage because it errored out when I tried to put it on my SD card (too big I think).

You should be able to run step 4 again, but I'm not completely sure so just be prepared to do-over from the beginning if anything goes wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] joebro84:
My video's play fine from Gallery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Sounds like you forgot to uncheck inject root, and/or forgot to wipe SU in Aroma. Which is it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Billy06010:
Did both unfortunately
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
What settings did you use when doing the install? I did the default and mine isn't playing videos unless I use google photo, which I hate. I'm guessing the same for the other guy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] bclay12:
has anyone tried this with the latest Verizon Nougat update that rolled out today?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] joebro84:
I did the debloat rom setup (70 apps removed) on Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
I guess my theory that the 120 debloat was too good to be true was right. But, if all it is missing is the video player, it's still pretty good. Found the apk online with some help and it's working correctly now. Samsung video player apk in search will find it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] appye:
This is all sort of shooting from the hip, but I am thinking of trying my hand at adapting JKruse's new QC1 version to the S7flat myself... What do you think of the following steps?

Replace Jkruse's VZW_TMO_HYBRID_PLAYSTORE_BS_FREE_QC1_V7.zip\vzw\boot.img with the your file (VZW_TMO_HYBRID_PLAYSTORE_BS_FREE_STOCK_V5_VZWS7FLAT.zip\vzw\boot.img) ... In your first post in JKruse's S7Edge thread, you mention "swapping the boot.img for the flat boot.img" ... Is this the file you were speaking of? Will this still work with QC1? If not, where did you get boot.img?

I was also thinking of replacing instances of "G935" with "G930" in all three of the files (build.prop, CSCVersion.txt and SW_Configuration.xml) located in VZW_TMO_HYBRID_PLAYSTORE_BS_FREE_QC1_V7.zip\vzw\system ...

Odin flash BL, AP, and CP files from the TMobile G930T QC1 zip ... I got mine from updato.com, which is where I got the stock Verizon QA2 image I am running now.

I am thinking I should not odin flash the "CSC_VZW..." QA2 file from your G930+HYBRID+FIRMWARE.zip? You do not indicate a need for this in your instructions, but have supplied the file nonetheless. Also, there appears to be a Verizon "QA4" image available now ... OTA is now offering it to me, but I do not see it on updato.com ...

Copy the QC1 AP file to the SD card ...

From here, I would continue on from step 2 the instructions you posted, substituting the newer files of course...

... Does any of this sound like a good idea? Am I going to fry my phone if I try this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Azuma73:
Okay now, here's a strange one.... I make/receive a call can't hear the other party unless I activate speaker phone, they can hear me but I cannot hear them through ear speaker!?!?

Everything else seems pretty fast & bomber smooth!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Billy06010:
finally got it working!!! cant seem on either t mobile or verizon version to get wifi calling working on my S7 ATT any help?? also advanced calling?? Without it im going back to the ATT Firmware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] studiorat:
I am missing most of the stock edge apps I dont have people edge , tasks edge, and a few more but those are the ones I use most . Might anyone have the people edge and task edge apk. ....Im on jkruses hybrid no root deblaoated setup .....Any help would be appreciated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
You should be able to find these apk's to install separately if you know the name.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jamus28:
If the app doesn't require root, you can unroot and flash the stock kernel afterwards, normal battery life. I don't know if it will boot with the changes and it definitely won't pass safetynet, but it probably will be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Theroose:
Tried it and it did not keep the changes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jamus28:
Did you flash the whole AP or just the boot.img. You should try the latter, the former will overwrite your system.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] ikoyhn:
I don't think it will boot because of the changes made to the System. But if you give me some knowledge on how you think it could be done then I will gladly try.=:)

[MENTION=6697968]CVertigo1[/MENTION] any update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Turn the call volume down one click. Did that fix it?

I'm going to try and upload the U-firm ROM tonight. Since it took me so long to upload it, I was holding out to see if jrkruse uploads a new version and I'd modify that. It's never fun to upload one then find out he uploaded a new one the same day lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Gon Rouge:
Nevermind, I downloaded Flashfire through the Play store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Gon Rouge:
It all of a sudden disappeared. What can I do to fix it and turn off Fast charge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
How is fast charge draining your battery?

Here is latest root zip with SuperSU 2.81

Nougat_S7_Root_2_81_All_Carriers_V2.zip

This root method will reset your fingerprints and lockscreen security it will also fix fingerprint issue this should help with issues of not recognizing your fingerprint after you root. The binary is also updated Version 2.81 Stable
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I misunderstood your issue. I didn't realize you were talking about the ringer. I thought you were referring to not being able to hear someone talking during a call when calling a cell phone, most likely during an HD call. This used to be an issue in the earlier ROMs, but I think it was fixed since I don't have these issues anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Guys, I finally uploaded the U-firm ROM and tried to post it, but I can't update the OP lol. It says missing security token. If anyone has any idea what's causing this, let me know. I'm going to look into it a bit more later and send an admin message when I'm not working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] intense21:
Thanks [MENTION=1168000]jkru[/MENTION]se and [MENTION=943665]cve[/MENTION]rtigo for great work on Rom. Had some issues with the lock screen and finger print not working at first. Wiped and did a factory reset seemed to fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jamus28:
Hey, if you upload the modified zip here, can I suggest that you change the updater to keep the shooting modes and photostudio in the bsfree version? it might save a lot of frustration and reinstalls down the line.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Lol. I uploaded it and realized I forgot to remove the shooting mode lines, so I deleted it, modified the updater, and re-uploaded. However, I did not remove the line for photostudio. What is that needed for again? I'm assuming it's the Samsung photo editor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Gon Rouge:
The app "AccuBattery" said on the Health tab - Battery Wear there is a chart that goes up to 0.90 max. Mine was beyond 0.90, mine was like 1.06 or so. That pretty much means that my battery is losing 1% on every charge!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
I don't believe that is correct as you would have no battery available after 100 days or a little over 3 months of the ability to hold charge was decreased so drastic. I think those apps are as much a scam as the battery reset/calibrate apps have been in the past.

AP .tar.md5 issues

I'm having some trouble getting the AP.tar.md5 (AP_G930TUVS4BQC1_CL10376601_QB12919907_REV02_user_ low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5) to save to/show up on my phone (I transferred via USB MTP, but it doesn't show up in Amaze or Samsung's My Files or FireFlash) I also tried downloading the container .zip (G930TUVS4BQC1_TMB4BQC1_TMB_T-Mobile_USA_7.0.zip) directly to my phone (I verified it downloaded correctly, via md5 checksum), but Amaze fails to unzip and viewing it shows it as an empty directory. Samsung's My Files exhibits the same behavior.

[I do have show hidden files enabled and have granted Amaze SU]

I'm open to suggestions if someone knows of a file manager/unzipper that works, but otherwise... what are my options?

Can I just flash the AP.tar.md5 via ODIN and then FireFlash the zip (or something)?

I do have the zip saved to the internal memory rather than my external sd card, but that shouldn't be causing this problem (tried to copy the AP.tar.md5 to the ext sd via MTP USB). I also couldn't copy it over from internal to the ext sd. [edit: though obviously that wouldn't help anyways]

I tried rebooting the phone and that did not help.

I can make a new empty file ending with .md5 and Amaze has no problems with it, so I really don't know what is going on...

I'll probably end up trying flashing with ODIN again, but this situation just seems insane/wrong/impossible...

edit: I should try MTP USB the AP to internal first :facepalm:

update: yeah, put the AP.tar.md5 on internal storage dummy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] rarecarpenter:
After hours of experimenting, I realized that - at least for me - there is no way to get the QC1 rom to boot with the stock kernel after running the aroma. The only way that it boots is with the engkernel regardless of the options chosen in the Aroma. The V13 mod does work well with the QB1 rom ( although I haven't try the noname mod). If anyone has successfully gotten the QC1 rom to boot with the stock kernel after running aroma, please let me know. I'll stick with the QB1 until we get the U-firm running.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
You have to replace the boot.img in the ufirm rom (located in the VZW folder) with the boot.img from the stock flat ufirm. I posted instructions from the ufirm thread a few pages back. I've been running v13 for a few days now with no hiccups, runs very smooth for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I need to figure out why I can't update the OP. In the meantime, here is the firmware and ROM. First flash BL, AP, and CP in Odin, then flash the Nougat eng kernel and run root.bat from the new root files that jrkruse posted a page back. Then use FlashFire to flash AP, then the ROM in that order. If you choose not to wipe in Aroma, then there is a really good chance that it will bootloop and you'll need to wipe data in recovery. I suggest doing backups before flashing.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] majinawaz:
sorry i have some confusion first flash bl, ap, cp, with odin (done) then flash the Nougat eng kernel and run root.bat(done) then flash ap again with flashfire?

sorry for bad english
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
This is correct. Flashing the BL, AP, and CP should get you to boot into the U-firmware. When you run root.bat, it modifies the system and causes it not to boot with the factory kernel. When you use FlashFire to flash AP then the ROM, it installs a clean/stock system with no SuperSU, then the ROM modifies the installed system. Every time this ROM is flashed, the AP needs to be flashed with it. The list of things to be flashed should be Firmware AP then the ROM in that order. Make sure EverRoot is NOT checked. The instructions are basically the same as the OP, except for the firmware version and ROM version are different. Let me know if you run into any issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
For anyone flashing the U-firmware ROM, there are some issues.

The dual speaker mod causes audio issues with videos in Chrome. Supposedly the issue does not exist in Samsung Browser, but I removed the dual speaker mod from my phone before trying in Samsung Browser. I did not have any sound in VR, but I can't verify if this was due to the dual speaker mod, as I have not played with VR since I removed the dual speaker mod. Other than the Chrome issue and possible VR issue, the dual speaker mod is AWESOME!!!

When using modded SystemUI, the pointers/cursors in most apps are odd/pixelated. I don't recall this being an actual issue, but I want to note it.

I use Adguard for adblocking, so I didn't install any of the adblockers in the ROM. Some users have ran into issues with the adblockers. If you have issues with certain sites not loading, it's most likely the adblocker.

As I remember other issues I've run into, I'll post them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] majinawaz:
ok. first i flash bl, ap, cp, with odin (done) boot in 930u firmware then flash the Nougat eng kernel and run root.bat(done) now install flashfire first add ap in select add flash firmware package then add (UFirm_Multi_Carrier_Hybrid_NoNaMe_PlayStore_BS_Free_V14_VZWS7FLAT) in flash zip or ota

phone restart first flash ap then start aroma all done now phone keep restarting on s7 splash screen.

I've been running QC5 with noname without rom control for over a week and have enjoyed most all of it (except for the new supersu updates that breaks root - but that's no one's fault but mine for allowing it to update!)

So my questions are: What benefit is there to the new "u" firmware? It's my understanding that "U" firmware doesn't doze correctly for lots of people - what's the battery life like on the new fw? What exactly is the difference between where I'm at (QC5, noname w/o rom-control) to the new "U"???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Flash the Nougat eng kernel again, and it should boot. Did you make sure EverRoot was disabled? Did you wipe the phone in Aroma or no?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
My battery life is always pretty bad due to awful service in my office, so I can't comment on that. The U-firmware is much smoother in general, at least for me. The stock U-firmware doesn't have any carrier bloatware, so that's a big plus. The only Verizon apps and packages that have been added are the ones needed for Advanced Calling and Visual Voicemail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] 3m-ta3:
Thank you CVertigo1.

I think I'll give it a try!

So with the last firmware I don't have root. So I can't use titanium. Which one works for you guys so I can do a backup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jamus28:
It sounds like a few people are missing the point of this ROM, which is to have the benefits of rooting (no bloat and customizations) without actually having root and the broken ENG kernel that comes with it. In summary: this rom performs best NOT rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Now you need to figure out what you forgot to do. You shouldn't have to use the root kernel unless the phone is rooted.

You can flash the root kernel with Odin and run root.bat again to get root. The ROM is not rooted, so you have to root it after flashing if that's what you want.

^^^What he said.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Is anyone running the U-firmware ROM? I have a few downloads, but no real comments about it. I saw a few posts about asking for updates, but no reports after I finally post an update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] quixtech:
installed the u firm rom last night. seems to run good so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mac62:
I just installed it today, and everything is good except the phone app does not appear in the app drawer. I can call from contracts and messages, but can't open the app directly. Used option to not install the Google dialer in aroma.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Which version of the ROM did you choose in Aroma? Safe to assume you chose the Play Store version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mac62:
BS free.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I'm also using the BS free version and the phone app is in my app drawer. I think you may have borked the install. Starting from flashing the U-firmware with Odin, what steps did you take to install the ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mac62:
I must have. Looking back at what I did was:

Factory reset (had device encrypted)

Flash the AP, BL, and CP in Odin

Skipped through all of the setup and enabled USB debuging

Rebooted to Download and flashed the root kernel in the AP slot

Rebooted to OS and ran the new root that jrkruse posted, without alterations.

Rebooted to and in flashfire flashed the AP (all partitions except data) and then the .zip (Mount Read/Rite) and removed the autoSU.

I'm going to try reinstalling, starting with re-flashing the root kernel and moving on from there. Will report back tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] lickwid:

I have installed the new UFIRM rom, and so far, it is smoother then the previous one, with a couple of bugs. Only problems I am running into are some buttons & notifications being glitchy, and the phone occasionally hangs when I try to mess with the dual speakers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] vrahn:
I'm a little concerned with installing this just yet. Seeing as how there was an issue with dual speakers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jamus28:
I'm running bs free, noname custom ui, no other mods (no dual speaker or s8 apps), unrooted vzw. Works great for the last week.

I was hoping to test the dual speaker but I assumed it would be buggy given it was for the s7 edge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] lickwid:
I did a backup with Smart Switch, then just shut the phone down and went into download mode. Flashed BL, AP, and CP in Odin. It loads into the U-firmware, but while setting up, it keeps restarting my phone. Can't get through setup to turn off secure mode and to flash Eng kernel. Not sure what's going on. My battery was down at 20%, but I don't think that's what causing the issue?

Are we not using the CSC file like we did in the OP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jamus28:
Your issue is that you flashed AP first. Your old rom will boot fine with the newer CP and BL.. Start again and flash all of QC1 verizon.
