A bit confused, as Cvertigo1 clearly states above to flash AP, BL, and CP?

I just started over by flashing all 4 files (BL, AP, CP, HOME_CSC) in Odin to boot up U-firmware. Then redid whole process.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I forgot to mention a step I took that may be related. For the final step of the FlashFire instructions, add a wipe---wipe cache, format cache, and wipe SuperSU. Try that and let me know if it makes a difference. I jump back and forth between the Flat and Edge forums, and the cache format step is mentioned there, but I forgot to put it here.

I have no issues with glitchy notifications or buttons, so I need some details on what you mean. Also, what do you mean by it hangs when messing with the dual speakers? Did you wipe?

The dual speaker issue is an annoyance in certain browsers, but it does function great in YouTube and other apps.

Incorrect. The same issues that are present on the Flat are also present on the Edge, and it only happens in certain apps. This has nothing to do with the difference between the phones. The general consensus is the issue is caused by how those particular apps programmatically route audio.

Correct, you do not use the CSC. You read my post about flashing this ROM in this post, right? "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 know that doesn't specifically mention wiping after using Odin, but it does mention wiping data in recovery if you encounter bootloops. Did you wipe the phone in recovery?

Correct. I posted the steps I took to make everything work, and they are basically the same instructions as the ROM in the OP. There are other ways to make it work, but I posted what I verified as the simplest to follow to prevent a million questions about how users don't understand. When instructions are simple, less redundant questions get posted.

Everyone who has any issues needs to look at the OP and read the notes at the bottom. "If you don't wipe data, then please don't post issues in the thread." The same rule applies to the new ROM. There are too many variables when previous data is thrown into the mix when flashing a new ROM, so starting with a clean slate is the BEST way to cut down on any variables.

Did you ever figure out why you could not update the original post
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I haven't had time to try again today to see if the issue is still present. I originally edited the OP to hide the details of the previous ROM to declutter the post, and that went through without issue, but it threw a security token error when I added the new ROM and instructions to the OP. I'll see if I can find time later today to try again.

That could have been the issue. I had fingerprint and swipe security setup. Didn't turn that off when I first flashed BL, AP and CP. Booted up, but kept restarting during phone setup...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Screamsi:
Ok, I'm stuck. Tried almost all variations of install in aroma and I keep getting a bootloop no matter what I do. I did wipe everything, and still no go. Anyone have any ideas? I'll try again tomorrow.

Any update for this and QC9 patch?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
Try flashing the eng kernel, if it boots, you injected SuperSU when flashing the ROM. Also, it helps to flash stock Ufirm before proceeding, you may have, but lack of details makes it hard to diagnose.

can't get the AP file to flash in Odin

I cannot seem to get the QD2 AP file to flash in Odin... in step 1 of using the U version. The other files will flash on their own fine, but when I flash with the AP file it just hangs at "file analysis" and does nothing.

I've tried the standard things (open as administrator, different cables/ports, etc.) and other things flash fine, so I don't think it's a connection problem.

I have tried from all different types of starting points - the TMO hybrid firmware, the QA2 and QC9 VZW firmwares. I got it to flash once and can't figure out what might have done it because I'm unable to replicate it...

I downloaded the file twice and double-checked the md5 checksum, don't think it's a file issue...

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
First of all, start fresh and odin all 4 ufirm files via odin, obviously you will lose your data so backup. Once you're booted into the stock ufirm and get setup, then start from scratch and follow the directions closely. I also recommend using PrinceComsys Odin for all odin flashing during the process.

Good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] JPSloan1:
Thanks. That's actually what I was trying to do, but it hangs. I then tried each file independently and narrowed it down to the AP file. I also tried 2 different versions of Odin. Maybe I should try the other you mentioned.

Ultimately I just flashed the BL and CP via Odin, flashed the eng kernel, then just flashed the AP and rom via flashfire, and it seems fine for now so I may just leave it alone.

I was also trying to re-root to debloat/customize a little further, but when I did that (by flashing the eng kernel again) I just got bootloops... (meaning it would boot and be stable for about 2 minutes, then reboot).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
Hmm, maybe a bad download, or corrupted when you unpacked the archive. I know it's recommended to be fully on stock Ufirm before doing this flash, so that's probably where your instability is coming in, in addition to the eng kernels slight lag. I can actually run the eng kernel on this rom without too much of a performance hit, just a few tweaks with lspeed.

But regardless, I'd try starting fresh if I were you, grab a fresh download and try the Odin I linked above.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] j0hnh0lmes:
Can you outline the steps you did? I followed the steps and tried every option and always bootloop with the verizon ufirware option. If I flash the engboot it'll boot back up. I made sure that everroot was disabled and wiped cache / davilik / su.

I had zero problems flashing vr13.

Edit -- Got it working; Just followed the steps in jkruse thread instead to a T. much faster I might add than pre-flashing the entire firmware files.

Is All Good to Go From OP?

I just purchased an S7 and will be putting a new ROM on it. This ROM looks intriguing because my main reason for rooting in the past has been to get tethering. If I can stay "stock" and have tethering, that would be sweet. On the other hand, I like to root just to give Verizon the middle finger ... but I digress.

My questions are:

1) Are there advantages to going with a rooted ROM like the Stang5litre over this one?

2) Is the OP now good to go as far as getting this done? (I saw several posts about the OP not being able to be updated.)

3) I assume we will not be able to take OTA updates after installing this. Will the phone nag me about updating if a new OTA comes out?

Thanks in advance for any opinions/help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I haven't posted a QC9 ROM, and I'm not sure I will. The U-ROM works very well on Verizon, so I didn't see much of a reason to play with the Verizon firmware after I ran into constant bootloops or force closes when trying to get it to run.

I'm going to try to update the OP again when I get a chance. Hopefully it takes this time lol.

The graphic glitches are the awkward looking cursors I mentioned. I think this is just relevant to the modded SystemUI, as I don't notice it anymore with the stock SystemUI.

1) I ran the Stang5litre ROM for awhile when he first released it, so I have some experience with it. It is very smooth and snappy for a rooted ROM on the eng kernel. I have also run his ROM's in the past on the S5. He is meticulous and keeps his ROMs updated very well from what I remember. I was on his first S7 build and I was very pleased with it, and I can only assume that he has made it much better since the first release. The ROM's that I have posted are not rooted, so they can run on the factory kernel as well as pass SafetyNet, and that is the real winner for me. From the last time I lurked his thread, the Strang5litre ROM is Marshmallow only, whereas these ROM's are Nougat. I recall his big reasoning for using Marshmallow was it had a significantly better battery life through modifications compared to Nougat ROM's. I haven't done a side-by-side comparison to verify that, as my cell service in my office is pretty crappy and my battery life suffers no matter what ROM I run lol.

2) The instructions in the OP are exact for the ROM posted in the OP. The instructions for the U-ROM are similar, but they do have some differences. I need to figure out why I can't update the OP, but to be honest, I haven't found time to look into it lately.

3) The OTA update packages are removed from the ROM, so you won't have to worry about being nagged. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] ikoyhn:
I can answer #1 an #2

1) the advantage of this ROM is that it can be stock which will yield better battery life and less issues that are associated with root. But you also get the flexibility of having root which you dont have with the Stang5litre ROM. I actually get much better battery life rooted on this ROM than on the Stang5litre ROM.

2) It will not nag you at all, I believe there is a setting in the ROM itself that disables the phone from constantly asking you to update.

I will also say this was a difficult flash this ROM because you need to be on a specific firmware to begin flashing.

U ROM Perks?

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. I know noob questions can be frustrating, so hopefully this will be my last:

What is the U ROM all about? I know it has different firmware, and if you're running it, I assume it must have some perks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
The U-firmware doesn't have all of the Verizon bloat, or any other carrier bloat, baked in. Beyond popular belief, just deleting the Verizon apps from the system is not enough to properly debloat a ROM. Those apps are integrated into the system and the system will try to call on those apps from time to time. When those apps are being called and no longer exist, it causes lag and force closes. Try disabling the updater packages on a completely stock phone and then search for updates, you'll get lag, then force close. With the U-firmware, since the Verizon apps don't exist, they aren't called on by the system, so that is one massive added benefit. The downside with the STOCK U-firmware is the lack of Verizon VVM and video calling, but these features have been added to the ROM. There are a few great features in the U-firmware, but there are two super simple features that I cherish the most. One of those features is the caller ID integration where it will tell you if a number is known as a telemarketer, or it will display the callers name if another user has saved the contacts name, and it gives you the ability to block numbers as they are calling without having to jump through hoops. The other feature is limiting the notification bar to 3 icons. I hate having a million notification icons displayed throughout the day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] hunteditor:
Damn, that sounds like it would be worth the extra trouble. The good news for me is my current phone isn't bad, so even if I botch the conversion a couple of times on my new S7, I won't be in trouble. I will go through the thread meticulously and find the alternate instructions. Thanks again for your work on this and all your kind help!

I don't believe so, just flash eng Kernal, run root.bat, download firmware files for the rom, install everything with flashfire. No need to downgrade as downgrading or flat out changing firmware is in the process of installing the rom. Just use this threads downloads, but follow jrkruse's instructions.

Guys found this mod, kinda not in Dev anymore for the Verizon S7, but the beta works great on this rom, try it out. (Duel speaker mod)

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/themes/sound-mod-thread-zubi182-t3343957

To use it and keep saftynet if not rooted, move ROMs AP file to device as well as unsu.zip (Google it) to download folder. Odin eng Kernal, run root.bat. uninstall SuperSU (just makes this go faster). Install flashfire, open flashfire. Flash firmware file (AP) select only boot and recovery, then the duel boot mod zip, then unsu.zip. make sure no ever root. That is all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
I believe you have to flash the stock ufirm files via odin first, that'll put you on stock QD2 ufirm, then follow the instructions to flash the v13 ufirm rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Cm4nXD:
Nah you don't need to be on any one firmware, you can flash the rom to the correct firmware using flashfire in the same step as installing the rom. That's the way jrkruse gives his instructions in the original thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
Well this is at the beginning of Jkruses thread:

So, I take it you should be on qa4/5 or QD2, according to him. However I recall having issues for some who went from qa4/5 to the ROM without flashing stock Ufirm first. I could be wrong, but might save some hassle later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Cm4nXD:
Yeah, but what I am saying is instead of odining, aka trying to keep user data (can't keep system), you can flash the firmware within flashfire before you install the rom, without flashing entire firmware first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
Ah, I see, I misunderstood. Regardless, it shouldn't matter, as you'll need to wipe either way, or at least you should.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Cm4nXD:
Only the system data, I had no problems keeping user data, when I came form stangs MM rom, just as long as you wipe system data. I installed firmware through flashfire then flash rom zip and a couple other things I wanted.

You do realize that the dual speaker mod is an option in this ROM already, right?

The reason I went with the my instructions over his was because I ran into multiple bootloops using his method, and I believe it was due to Edge-specific system data clashing with my dirty Flat data.

Thanks, I really appreciate this!!!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
This is the reason why I need to follow jrkruse's direction and make a different thread for the U-ROM. You have been telling people that they are doing it wrong when they were mentioning flashing U-firmware, yet you didn't even know what they were talking about.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Cm4nXD:
WTF no I wasn't. He asked specifically what firmware he needed to be on to install the ROM. When someone said he needed to Odin whatever firmware is provided in the op. I said he could simply flash it along side the ROM zip in flash fire to keep user data. But wipe system data so that there weren't errors. What firmware that is, is irrelevant. The same is true whether or not the firmware provided in the op is the U-firmware. And when it came to the speaker Mod, sense I didn't know you had ported the U-rom from jrkruse's thread, and myself had been trying to get that particular Mod on my device, I thought I would be helpful and post where I found it. Don't look for a problem where there isn't one. Thanks for all the work you do making this work on the flat variant. Let's just all be mature. I may have not known what the features of the latest base of the ROM was, doesn't mean my information was incorrect. As you earlier said, you didn't follow those instructions because of some compatibility issues, all I was saying is it worked for me. Push comes to shove the worst that could happen, is they Odin back to stock.

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

Just reread the op, doesn't say anywhere that the ROM was updated to be based off of U-firmware nor does it mention duel speaker Mod. Why don't you instead of making a new thread, update the op? Not trying to be disrespectful, just trying to be helpful. I'm sorry for whatever trouble I caused.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
Exactly, you weren't​ paying attention to the thread, or you'd realize we've been discussing the ufirm rom for the past 10+ pages, as well as CVertigo having an issue updating the OP. I don't mean any ill intent by saying this, just letting you know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Cm4nXD:
If you read my post, me knowing that the rom was based off of the U-firmware or not, is irrelevant, the information I provided applies to ANY firmware. All that you've stated is that I didn't know the duel sound mod was included. Which I already clarified. -_- I just so happened to look at the thread, and I don't like reading a bunch of posts, so all I ever look at is the OP, and decided to answer a question. That is all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
Just like doing a clean flash is irrelevant, right? I mean, it's only like the golden rule when flashing ANY rom or firmware, but hey, let's encourage people to do it the dirty way. Also, the ufirm does need to be flashed before flashing the rom, so it is pretty relevant. Many people had issues flashing the ufirm rom directly from a stock carrier rom, thus the suggestion. -_-
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Cm4nXD:
Doing a clean flash isn't always necessary, it's only recommend. Every Android device I have had for the past 4 years I have dirty flashed ROMs. NO PROBLEMS. All I said was he could install it with flashfire not that you didn't need to be on the firmware. You just don't need to Odin the firmware. In fact installing the firmware through flashfire is the way jrkruse says to do it in his thread. Which I already talked about. Also the issues that you are referring to, CVertigo1 already brought up, to which I replied, again it WORKED FOR ME. Now look who isn't reading the forums. -_-
