Manual debloat and just avoid removing those specific apps.

It's the ad blocking service that will cause some sites not to work or links through google ads.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
The My Verizon app and widget still work. The latest version of the ROM does have Samsung Gear, but I don't have a watch to test it on, so hopefully someone else can chime in.

Is it all websites or just certain sites? I'll assume you chose ad blocking in Aroma, didn't you?

Yes I did... Anyway to disable without reflashing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] storm81456:
Samsung pay is preserved, although you will very likely need to use package disabler to wipe data (disable, wipe, re-enable) in the pay related apps (IIRC correctly it was two, the pay app and the pay services framework) to restore full functionality.

I have a Gear S3, everything worked fine except manually searching for gear updates. Again solved by the same sequence of wiping data in the gear related apps and now it all works as advertised. You may also find that the galaxy app store is gone and will have to reinstall (easiest way to do it is to add the galaxy essentials widget to any homescreen page, which then basically prompts you to install the app store).

My VZW worked fine out of the box without any extra wiping.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] cognitivedissonance:
Exact same issue here. Could you please let me know how you worked this out?

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

Actually, I found that running the root.bat NOT as administrator actually got it working (flashfire at least gets to "acquiring root access" now) however FlashFire is taking FOREVER to try and gain root access.... is there a way to do this without FlashFire?? I don't mind flashing stuff manually...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] storm81456:
For point 2: Yeah, things take a while, but if you look at what the screen is telling you in the batch file, it's installing stuff so you would assume that will take a minute or two. And flashfire definitely takes f o r e v e r to ask/acquire root access. I've gone through the steps a few times and it's always the same wait

Point 3: Actually, you can install flashfire at any point in the process up until the point you need it (well, unless you wipe data and remove it, but you could reinstall it when you first ODIN stuff). If it's already on your phone you can skip that part entirely.

Point 4: I'm with you man, I would love to know exactly what each one of those aroma options includes. That is precisely why I chose to manual debloat. I suppose you could always try to beg [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] to provide that info (as he is the amazing dev who got all this working in the first place) and [MENTION=6697968]CVertigo1[/MENTION] for hooking us flat users up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Sometimes it works well without running as admin, and sometimes it only works as admin. That's why I said may need to run as admin in the writeup.

Anyone know a workaround for the double tap to sleep on Nova and having the fingerprint able to work? I have it set to put my screen on timeout for double tap but I find myself accidently turning the screen on within the 5 second timeout a lot. If I set it to screen lock I can't use fingerprint to unlock :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jcruz942:
Okay so for those of you trying to flash this on the T-Mobile S7 variant, we're going to have to add an extra part to step 5. You need to have the ENG kernel for the flat S7 and add it in flashfire under add firmware. Then change the order of flashing to the AP first, the rom zip second, and then the ENG kernel. If you don't it's just going to give you a headache.

Also this is just a general FYI since I saw some one vaguely ask about, if you want the edge panel, etc. You're going to have to download the

AP_G935TUVS4BQC1_CL10376601_QB12919913_REV02_user_ low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5, which is avialable in the T-Mobile S7 edge forums, and flash that instead of the flat S7 AP listed here. T-Mobile fam make sure to add the extra step provided above concerning the kernel, I'm not sure if Verizon users need to do any extra steps since I could only test this on the tmobile version.

If you have any questions concerning the flashing this to T-Mobile feel free to PM me, don't clutter up this thread. Please don't PM about bugs because I'm not sure about that. I can help with get from point A to point B but after that I'm as lost as you.

You skipped the post directly before yours explaining how to do it??? I'm not concerned with the Edge panel and haven't tried to make it work, so proceed with caution.

System UI crashes on startup when power-on PIN enabled

Hi all-

I haven't seen this before, but after installing the current version of this ROM (while following the instructions to the letter) and selecting the BS free and total UI cusomizations options, if I set the PIN option to be required upon phone startup, the system UI crashes. This has the neat effect of locking me out of the phone since the keypad is controlled by the system UI. I had to go into recovery & wipe data & start over. :-/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] j0hnh0lmes:
Understood. Get better soon.

How To Turn Off Secure Boot

How To Turn Off Secure Boot

I installed ROM but can not boot because not yet Turn Off Secure Boot. Can someone help me Turn Off Secure Boot

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Cm4nXD:
That's the problem with the S7 you can't turn off secure boot. My guess is you forgot to remove super SU, or didn't uncheck ever root in flashfire. What you can do is, boot into Odin, flash eng kernal. Then reroot, install flashfire then reinstall the ROM. The phone is rooted, and since it also has the stock kernal, it can't boot. That's why it's important to remove super SU in the setup process for this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] smashedpumpkins:
Will this ROM taking any OTA updates or is it disabled? I'm already being prompted about security updates, which I would prefer to enable as well.

Maybe I am overlooking this. but is there a way to set it up as a T-mobile variant on the stock kernel?

Edit: Reading more in the T-mobile section I see they don't boot with the stock kernel.

Edit 2: How is anyone booting this on the stock kernel when selecting Verizon? I loop every time. I am certainly selecting the Verizon option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jazzdglass:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] lepa71:
Is there a list of which apps are removed in each aroma selected options? Will I have root after installing this rom?

Does anybody know if Magisk would work on s7?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Cm4nXD:
This thread is for the Qualcomm Chip set S7 which has a locked bootloader. The way root is achieved on this device, is with a kernal exploit in a development (engineer) kernal. Nothing can be flashed other than official software. The whole idea behind this ROM, is that it is debloated so it runs faster but doesn't have the lag from the engineer kernal because it uses stock kernal. So no root or magisk. (Magisk can't be used anyways even with the eng-kernal because of the locked bootloader.

No list as far as I'm aware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
When you loop, does flashing the engineering kernel allow it to boot? If so, you probably forgot to uncheck EverRoot in FlashFire.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] JediDru:
Yes I have that disabled every time. And yes I can flash engboot and get in but I really want to stay away from that. What is really bizarre is every time I try to get a rooted tmobile set up I blue screen with unauthorized OS messages after I run flash fire. I can only seem to get a engboot reflashed verizon stock option to boot at all using the current zip. I don't have my phone set up I am willing try some other combos.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong in aroma. I am trying to use playstore rom no S8 apps, stock UI with tweaks and verizon stock kernel. With that combo I will only get it to boot with engboot. After the loop and reflashing eng in Odin. I remove the root injection and also throw in a wipe at the end using flash fire and have it format the internal SD and Cache.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
You are flashing AP prior to flashing the ROM every time, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] JediDru:
Yes the tmobile nougat AP file for Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Yes, it is originally for Odin. Are you flashing it with Odin or FlashFire?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] JediDru:
I flash it with FlashFire when trying to get to the custom rom. I end up having to then flash it with Odin to restart the process again.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jamus28:
Couple questions. Thanks for all the work!

1. Is this stable as a daily driver? (Does it have the issues of engboot kernel?)

2. Are there any differences between Tmobile and Sprint BQC1 nougat firmwares? I'm running unlocked a G930P on Cricket, so would Tmobile rom provide any benefit?

2. Can I run the AROMA over the equivalent sprint firmware G930PVPS4BQC1, and flash the AP from that in flashfire?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Cm4nXD:
Yes daily driver, no issues with eng kernal, as it uses stock kernal.

As for T-Mobile or Verizon Versions, that is merely network support, so as for working on the phone I don't know, if T-Mobile version has support for your carrier. As for flashing over sprint software, don't. The reason you flash the included T-Mobile software is part of the debloat script, aka flash over sprint = doesn't remove sprint bloat. It also replaces all the APN / other network specific stuff with the carrier info built into the ROM.

Does anyone know how to flash the edge AP file and still have samsung pay working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jazzdglass:
So I messed up. Yes I did. I didn't do the secure boot thing I guess? But I went I there to confirm. I swear I did. In security lock screen area. I saw secure boot, and there was no toggle for it for on or off. It only said I should enable pattern or fingerprint so I thought the settings was inactive. So I went on to flash. Got to aroma, installed fine, but ok reboot, bootloop occurs saying I have modified firmware and needs to contact provider. Where do I go from here? I can still enter download mode and recovery. Do I have to begin all over again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jazzdglass:
Not that.. I'm very sure to uncheck that. It's the secure boot thing. Check attached picture

Notice the red text at top of the screen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] JediDru:
I couldn't really get the current zip to work for me either. The only combination of options I was able to boot in the 20+ times flashing over 2 days was select verizon stock and go through the steps. Once done with flashfire it will bootloop. Then with Odin reinstall the eng kernel. And the phone will boot. Couldn't get any of the tmobile options rooted or not to work, or the verizon one to boot without the eng kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Cm4nXD:
Oh my bad. Secure boot is a setting under lockscreen and security. You need to start over. Re Odin the four files from op for T-Mobile set up the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] lickwid:
I can't even get ODIN to flash the first 4 files. I am on stock 930U based firmware. I boot into download mode and try to flash the 4 files. The process starts, but then fails and just boots normally into Android. Tried it a few times and no luck. Not sure what the issue is.

There are also two CSC files, one which starts with HOME_CSC and the other i just CSC. I tried HOME_CSC first and then just CSC, and neither are working for me...

I now am getting it to reboot into Android Recovery, but when I reboot to download mode again, it keeps failing in ODIN.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] SirDoogieHouserMD.Esq2000:
Flash Ap,Bl,Cp,and HOME CSC.Let it fail to Recovery menu and select Load to Bootloader.Flash just Home CSC in Odin, and wait several minutes.Phone will load into TMO.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] lickwid:
I tried flashing all 4 at once, kept getting a FAIL and reboot into recovery. I tried to flash each one separately. Did the AP first and it worked fine. Did the BL next and it failed at around 90% prior to completion. The phone never rebooted. It is now stuck on the "No Command". Since there is no removable battery, no idea what to do at this point. Can't even get into download mode to reflash.

Once in awhile, it'll switch to a black screen with a white circular halo, with "Installing System Update" text below the halo.

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

When I am in the "No Command" screen, if I hold down the power button and press volume up, it goes into a screen with the following txt:

"No Support SINGLE-SKU

Supported API: 3

E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)

# MANUAL MODE #

- - Appling Multi-CSC . . .

Applied the CSC-code : VZW

Succesfully applied multi-CSC.

- - Deleting selective files

Successfully deleted files selectively"

then just txt pops up below that really quickly, then switches to the halo screen. Eventually goes back to "No Command" screen.

I somehow got back into download mode, tried flashing all 4 files again, and I get an error on the phone in red, "Unsupport dev_type" right below SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jazzdglass:
I guess this is what I will be trying next. I went over the whole procedure again. Evernote thing unchecked, secure boot not enabled, select wipe all in aroma. And still same secure boot issue at boot. I think this method is flawed.

What if I stopped at the step where I did the root.bat? Without proceeding to flashfire flashing of AP file and the rest, is rom still fully usable at this junction?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
No, go to [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] thread in the Edge forum for the Edge version of this ROM.

Which version of the U-firmware were you on? I would flash all four U-firmware files using Home_CSC, then disable secure boot, and try this method again.

I can guarantee you this method is not flawed. I'm currently running this ROM without issue, and I've flashed it many times using the exact instructions I posted. Others are successfully running this ROM as well. What issues are you having exactly?

As for stopping after the root.bat, all that would accomplish is rooting the phone. I don't understand what you mean. The ROM can't be usable if you never install it with FlashFire.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I have a question for all you guys having issues with bootloops after the ROM install. Have you

EVER

flashed the full CSC_TMB? I'm not talking about just prior to flashing the ROM, but ever. If so, that's most likely your issue. There is a fix if that's the case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] lickwid:
My answer is no. I've been on stock U firmware from the factory, most recently on QC1, I believe. I only tried the method in the OP. First with all 4 files, then with each one individually, and that was possibly where I goofed badly after the initial try failed multiple times. What's the fix so I can at least boot my phone and restart this entire method? Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] rumi409:
OP, I've flashed the CSC_TMB file initially when the Download mode complained about the incorrect size. I've since then gone back and flashed the Home CSC and then flashed all four files again via Odin and was able to flash successfully. After following the directions, I don't get an error after step 1. It boots to the TMB rom successfully. After step 9, I get stuck in a boot loop. I can successfully boot into the system if I flash the eng_kernel.

I suspect the bootloop may have something to do with the options chosen in Aroma installer. I selected full customization UI, which may require the eng_kernel. What options did you install with to keep the system stock?

Also, what is the fix/workaround if you flash the full CSC?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] lickwid:
I think most of my issues started since I was using an older version of Odin, v. 3.09. I have been able to flash back to an older firmware using a new version of ODIN. Now to restart this.

So for any others, don't use an older version of ODIN, I had an old version from my GS5 flashing days, so I just popped that in. Mistake, I think.

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 AM ----------

I was able to go through all the steps. I made sure to disable secure boot, remove SU, and pretty much kept all options in Aroma default except adding all S8 apps. Now my phone on my boot is in a boot loop after loading up the Samsung (w/ custom unlock) screen. Will have to start from scratch again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Flashing the full CSC patches the vulnerability that allows the ROM to boot with the factory kernel. What needs to be done is flash to Verizon QA4 using Odin, then start again at step 1. I don't recall which Verizon CSC to flash at the moment. It's somewhere in this thread. If you don't find it, I'll try locating it a bit later.

Did you just discover this now? Or was this something you found before you were having the current issues?

If using a newer version of Odin doesn't make things work, then I'd flash all four U-firmware files of the build you were running with Odin, using the Home_CSC file. Then we'll go from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] lickwid:
Yes, as I haven't really flashed anything in Odin with the Galaxy S7. So switchin to a more recent version of Odin 3.12 in my case worked wonders. I can now at least flash everything without Odin continuing to fail.

I will try from the beginning. I just flashed all 4 T-Mobile files and it booted fine without having to reflash the HOME_CSC file. I will go through steps again, but without installing any S8 apps to see if it'll boot up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I'll assume you meant you flashed all four including Home_CSC, but didn't have to flash Home_CSC the second time, right?

I'd like to note that I'm running the modified SystemUI, the S8 launcher, and other S8 apps, and I'm using the factory kernel and pass SafetyNet. The modified SystemUI and S8 apps shouldn't cause any issues. Flashing the full CSC will cause these issues.
