I was also on the U firmware when I flashed the full CSC. Flashing to QA4 did the trick and allowed me to follow your instructions without issues. I feel like if you're coming from the U firmware, it's mandatory to flash back to QA4 because the "HOME CSC" from your instructions doesn't get flashed due to a size mismatch.

After many tries I am having the same issue with the secure boot. It seems that the eng kernal for the verizon won't work and will result in a dm verity failure. If anyone has any solutions thanks in advance.

Im having a problem with the root option in the aroma installer. Whenever I would select it I would go through the normal process then I would get an unathorized software error after trying to use the rooted verizon option
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
I had the same issue, just use the stock kernel, then after you're booted into the rom, flash the eng kernel and run root.bat again, accomplishes the same thing.

I can't bring myself to reroot though, it just doesn't seem worth the performance loss and battery life anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Theroose:
I have fixed my initial problem, but now my SU saysbthr binary needs an update and now nothing will work for SU
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
Flash the eng kernel and run root.bat again.

Edit

You might need to try uninstalling SuperSU first though, I had an issue with root.bat working with SuperSU already installed on stock kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] SirDoogieHouserMD.Esq2000:
1.Uninstall SU

2.Flash S7 flat eng kernel

3.Run root.bat That will install SU

If root check says no root,then reboot and check again

Don't do anything with SU until you ADB root.bat
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mcvoss:
Ok, I've gotten to the point to run Flashfire. It says acquiring root, enumerating everything and then it cloeses. Ive tried this numerous times and it does the same thing. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Update: Ok after a little research I set the date back in my phone and it loaded.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I haven't verified this recently, but Chainfire has been known to set dates that render the app useless. Changing the system time does work, or updating the FlashFire app if available.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] lickwid:
Looks like jrkruse has released a new update based on the U firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] JediDru:
And for some reason Samsung refuses to release nougat for 930U. We wouldn't have a flat stock U nougat kernel to run if I understand correctly.

Here's a dumb question. I'm running this stock and love the Mods, non-rooted, G930V. Is there away to upgrade to the latest firmware, QC5, and keep the mods?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] destroyer557:
Is there a link to it? I can't find it on the s7 edge thread
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Once the Nougat U gets released for the Flat, I'll start playing with his latest ROM to bring it over for us.

I don't know why it hasn't been updated on the Flat yet. I've been looking ever since I saw the Edge got Nougat U.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Azuma73:
Ok... I did all the Odin stuff but now it won't let me move the AP file to my SD card. Says not enough room!?!?

It's got like 13GB available on it, I don't understand!?!?

Please advise!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Theroose:
You have to move it to the internal storage since it won't work on external, sorry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Azuma73:
Followed the OP to a T, just boot loops on the first splash screen!?!?

Might try it again later when I have time. Maybe you guys could give me some advice or somethin'?

Really wanna get this thing rolling for me, sounds like the definite way to go at this point!!

Thanks all!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
When I got a bootloop I did a factory reset and that fixed it. Might try that if nothing else works
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
It's possible, but I haven't looked into it. The easiest way is going to be if the latest Hybrid ROM uses QC5 firmware. Jrkruse is working on a U-firmware Hybrid ROM at the moment, so I'm not sure what he's going to do with firmware at this point. Honestly, the U-firmware is a much better base for building a ROM, as it doesn't have all the carrier extras baked in from the factory.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
What build number were you on prior to trying?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Azuma73:
I was on QC5, that was probably the deal. I have the files/firmware to downgrade if that's what I gotta do!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] j0hnh0lmes:
Do you plan to release an update before the U firmware? Just wondering as I've been sitting tight on reflashing until the update (a few bugs that a fresh flash will work out - no ring on the phone on outbound calls, some extra apps I want to remove, etc).

Advanced Calling

Has anyone been able to activate advanced calling using this Rom with Verizon.?Mine wont activate. I put my wifes sim in the phone and it still wouldn't activate. Her S7 is stock and both sims work when activating Advanced calling on her phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Theroose:
I have been able to activate advanced calling. You might just want to reflash the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I have no idea. jrkruse is going to send me some files when he gets some bugs ironed out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I have advanced calling activated and working without issue. I had one time that it wouldn't activate, but that was due to dirty data. Did you wipe the phone when you ROM'd it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mcvoss:
I thought so, but I'll wipe and reflash. Since I'm not rooted anyone using anything to backup all settings and programs. I dont mind redoing buy obviously easier if I dont have to.

Thanks guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] threevolve:
Oh man this is great! Thank you so much.

I had some trouble at first, but I re-read the instructions, and I did miss a couple of little tidbits in my excitement heh

One thing -- definitely factory reset BEFORE starting.. my first attempt I did not reset before ODIN'ing and I was left with a weird semi-brick situation where it kind of merged the new rom with the factory Samsung rom.. it was weird and none of the buttons nor the touch screen worked, except for little one second windows at a time every minute or so

So yeah, factory reset that bad boy before trying this

Anywho, awesome rom man, it's super fast, way faster than stock Samsung, battery life is better, and I love all the tweaks baked in. Very nice work!

---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------

Oh yeah, and the fact that it still thinks it's got "official firmware" on it is awesome too! Rad :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Use Samsung Smart Switch. It does a pretty awesome job at backing up calls, texts, WiFi passwords, settings, ect. It backs up apps, but it does not backup app data, so you will have to manually redo all your app settings.

I wish I could take credit for this, but it all goes to [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] for making this possible. I just changed minor things to allow the ROM to boot on the S7.

Soo... I have been getting ready to pull the trigger on this and I realized that I am on the QC5 firmware. Someone mentioned that they were having issues with the QC5 so my question is what would the process be for making this work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] tparker1:
I was on QC5 and no problems so far 3 day's running.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mcvoss:
I went back to QA4 and then did the installation, it worked fine. Read the installation instructions, and as everyone says, follow them to a "T". Installing this Rom made me realize something, seeing as it took me multiple times to get it right, my wife is right I don't follow instructions.

Might be a dumb question but how do I make sure secure boot is off ? It says to make sure it's off in the install instructions.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mcvoss:
Settings

Lock Screen and Security

Make sure under "Secure Setup" it says "Protect your phone by using a screen lock...."

If it doesn't you must remove pin and/or fingerprint authorization. Be sure to wipe data

Is there a way to go back and run Aroma just to add the NoName theme, without changing anything on the phone?

Or can I just start at that step?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
Root, run flashfire with the AP and aroma, change your choices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] bbvd:
OK... so I ran the install... followed all the instructions and my phone doesn't recognize the sim and the Samsung account stops working any time I try to log in... I started with a clean install and I wiped everything after the install. I did choose to install some S8 apps in Aroma.What gives?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mcvoss:
in OP

Notes: If you are installing the S8 apps in V13, then you will get a bunch of force closes from everything. Your best bet is to pull down on the notification panel, click the settings button, and go into applications and clear data for everything that is force closing. If you keep data, you will run into issues with Advanced Calling and other features. Keep data at your own risk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] bbvd:
Thanks for the reply but that is not the problem I have. All apps worked fine, the problem I was having is that the system didn't recognize the SIM.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jazzdglass:
I tried to change boot image and replaced 3 qmg files in system/media/ : bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg,shutdown.qmg. I backed up the three initial ones before replacing with ones I used on my s6 which is the Note 7 boot image files. Since then phone doesn't power off again. When I power down, It only restarts in a weird way, screen goes blank with led light showing blue. Until screen comes on again after some seconds. Have any Idea what to do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Cm4nXD:
Make sure permissions were set correctly? For qmg files I believe it's all read owner write as well as all execute.

You could also make sure the qmg files aren't curropted? Try copying them to the device again

It also might have something to do with screen size, in which case new qmg. Idk that much about qmg. Hope that helps!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jazzdglass:
I have files from verizon Nougat and also tmobile. I also have some marshmallow files too. All Odin files. I would like to have verizon 4G LTE icon in my status bar, and also the H instead of 4G while on 3g. Tmobile displays 4G when I'm on 3g.but verizon displays H while on 3G. What files do I need to extract to flash in Odin or flashfire?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
The easiest way to apply the fixes would be to follow the steps I posted above. The boot issue does sound like bad permissions or image sizes. Check the qmg files in the zip for the hybrid rom or check the international thread. I just root, reflash AP and the hybrid zip, then change my options until I have what I want. However, I use the qb1 ap so that I maintain the use of mock locations.

Follow.these.instructions. They're the same for all galaxy models that I know of
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jamus28:
Want to share my experience. G930P, network unlocked, running on cricket.

- Coming directly from Nougat sprint firmware (BQC1) did NOT work

- Had to load verizon BQA4 firmware first, using CSC (not csc home) . Then I followed all instructions in the OP

- I recommend disabling the lookout security app before the flashfire step, it just slows everything down.

- The noname mods to systemui are confusing and ugly at first, but you can tweak it back to stock plus some small additions

- You do NOT need to use 3minit battery. It can be disabled from the noname app and stock battery % and icon reinstated. (If you installed adblocker, the 3minit app won't open)

Problem: Seems like I have poor LTE connectivity, I'm guessing due to the verizon firmware maybe blocking bands. I'm going to try rooting and enabling band 17.

I'm looking forward to the next version or U version!

Return to Stock Kernel

If I am on eng kernel and want to return to stock kernel, do I need to reflash the entire ROM, or is there a way to just flash the stock kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
You'll need to reflash, but you can do so without wiping. Just be aware that it may cause random issues and/or lag.

I would like to have verizon signal icons. What and what do I need to modify via file manager? Verizon has E, H, and a fancy 4G LTE icon. How to have that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Cm4nXD:
If you have a flashable kernal file yes. I would link one, but I only have one for the flat version not the edge. But you just need to unroot. I don't recommend this however because in the latter versions of this rom some mods cause it to not boot without eng kernal (modified software screen). Best to just reflash entire rom, you don't need to wipe though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] halbertweber:
I have the s7 flat, so I could use the flash able kernel if you don't mind uploading it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Cm4nXD:
I unfortunately do not have access to my computer right now. I will link one hopefully tomorrow morning. If not then in the afternoon 4ish. Sorry. If you want to download the firmware bundle for old rom in the op, it in there, thats where I got it. But that's a huge download. It's the stock recovery/boot file. (I'm at my brother's house RN)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jamus28:
So for anyone looking to run this on the AT&T network bands (like Cricket), you should add an extra step once youre rooted and before your run flashfire. Follow the directions here: https://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s7/how-to/guide-enabling-additional-lte-bands-t3563474

- You'll have to enable the hidden menu (that verizon blocks to allow DM + MODEM + ADB) using "shortcut master lite" or "phone info" and launching using root.

- For enabling the missing LTE bands that the verizon firmware disables: bands 1, 8, 12 , 17, 29, 30 , 41. I have no idea if enabling all of these is a good idea for network stability. Band 12 + 17 may be all your need for good LTE support.

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------

Yes. In the AP folder of the stock firmware, extract the "recovery" and "boot" img files. You need to use a script or tool to package these as a tar.md5 file. Then you simply flash that in odin under AP and you're back to stock kernel without losing data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:

Bought the S7 SM-G930V (seems like converted to show 930F) Verizon (heroqltevzw) on Qualcomm Snapdragon, running 6.0.1 "G930FXXU1BPIA" build. The issue is I am not Verizon user and outside of US. Firmware CSC is showing as VZW and CSC Country as USA/HK, bootloader G930VV.

There is no System Update showing in the phone so I cannot OTA update over WiFi to Nougat. So, I just follow the instructions as per post #1 and all will be good ... right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jrkruse:
There is something strange as 930F roms will not run on 930V phone. Sounds kind of fishy. If your sure it's a snapdragon Verizon phone download the factory firmware from updato. Make sure you download sm-g930V not sm-g930F and use odin to install
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] EazyVG:
Thanks for the reply. Indeed, I saw on youtube a video showcasing the conversion of G930V to G930F, guess for the sale purpose, but am sure that mine is G930V under the hood, as the bootloader is clearly G930V. You say to download an update and to flash using Odin. Will this do - http://www.droidviews.com/android-7-0-nougat-firmware-on-verizon-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-sm-g930v-g935v/

and the instructions mentioned there? Or shall I get this one - https://xdaforums.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/odin-stock-nougat-firmware-t3570156 and follow the instructions from the previous mentioned link?

2. After that is done (hopefully with success) I can then proceed with installation of this ROM as per instructions here?

P.S. Spandragon threads not as active as those Exynos ;p

Update: Ended up properly flashing, via odin, the G930U BQD2 build, way lighter and better than the Verizon one. Perhaps your latest Nougat will be better of based on U, instead of V, version ... even properly setup my SIM/operator settings with U.

I second this, [MENTION=6697968]CVertigo1[/MENTION] is keeping it hush hush lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I don't play Facebook games in Messenger, so I can't comment on this. Nobody has mentioned it or PM'd me about it, though.

I played with the U-firm ROM for a bit, but I ran into some minor/annoying issues. The phone would not remember WiFi passwords when rebooted. It would also forget Bluetooth devices on reboot. There were no Edge users with this issue, so it's not necessarily a ROM issue. The odd part was that I backed up my WiFi data with Smart Switch and restored it on another ROM, and it retained the passwords, so the passwords were indeed saved, but the data was not accessed for some reason or another. Jrkruse mentioned it might be due to secure storage, but this was mentioned after I left the U-firm ROM. I'm sure I'll revisit it one of these days and see what I can figure out.

For anyone wanting to try it before I find a fix, I believe swapping the kernel in the zip for the flat S7 kernel was all I needed to do. This was after I used Odin to flash the U-firm BL, CP, AP, and Home_CSC, then rooted with the root kernel and Ufirm root.bat

I also played with his latest QC5 ROM, but I could never get it to successfully boot without using the root kernel. It kept bootlooping. If I remember correctly, there was a time when I dirty flashed the QC5 ROM that I was able to get into Android, but everything was force closing constantly and the screen would not respond.

Now I'm on stock QC5 while I figure out which of those two ROMs I want to re-explore. I love the features and simplicity of the U-firm, but jrkruse mentioned that the QC5 ROM was much better overall, so I'm struggling trying to make up my mind lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
Personally, I felt the U-firm was very light and responsive, but that's just my opinion.

Could you possibly explain how to change out the kernel so we could do that on our own? It'd be much appreciated.

Thanks!
