It's very simple to return to stock. Download official the firmware for your model and carrier, then flash it in Odin. Done. Back to stock.

Imagine that the ENGboot kernel is an old pre-release version of a driver, it's buggy and pales in comparison to the current firmware in terms of speed and battery life. You may as well buy and old galaxy s4 or s5 and root that.

I tried flashing the AP by itself, as well as the AP, CP and CSC together.

Is it because I have the unlocked version of the phone and I'm using the stock Verizon firmware from the original root guide? I can't seem to find stock firmware specifically for the unlocked version.

Or am I doing something else really stupid? Phone will not boot now. Won't boot into recovery either. It will go back into download mode.

Update: I was able to put the U-ROM back on the phone, but I still need to return to stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jamus28:
You haven't mentioned what model your phone is. Go to http://updato.com and download the most recent firmware for your particular device. By model I mean, G930V or G930P, etc..

If you have the G930F international version, that's a different set of forums.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] hunteditor:
It is the 930V, and that did the trick, easy, peasy. Thanks a million!

Just out of curiosity. Has anyone else noticed that haptic feedback on the keyboard delays sometimes and the apps sometimes take a second to load? Perhaps it's just me, but just asking.

Hey guys I'm fairly new to the ROM and I was wondering if this ROM is rooted and can run Xposed? Also how is the battery life on the ROM? I'm interested in switching from the Stang ROM since there are a couple of issues I have been having with it but I also would like to keep root and xposed. Thanks for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
There is a rooted option, but you'll be on your own for xposed.The main point of this Rom is customization without continued root use. I haven't seen anyone list yet about the combination you're looking at, but if there are any users looking to help answer questions, they will be in the nougat root and xposed thread..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] starboys7:
well my phone runs fine, with root so far not any problems plus having no-ads youtube is pretty sweet.

i do have 1 problem with the rom itself idk if there an app i can dl to fix it.

the popup background sort of like when you hold-click on a text and the "copy, paste" popup comes up the background for that is broken...

anyone have any ideas how i can fix it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] spearoid:
I've read through this thread and don't recall seeing anyone mention this issue I've just run into.

I set up a friend's Verizon S7 and it shows now that the internal memory is 16 GB. He swears his phone is a 32 GB model. I didn't check beforehand.... But I didn't even think Samsung made a 16 GB S7 for Verizon.

Is there a step somewhere that can mess up the phone's reported capacity?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Indyultra:
Running for a couple days now, smooth Rom. 2 things happened, when the clock is set to word clock, it hides the date. Also, not sure if it was just a fluke, but when I set it to require a pin to unlock the phone after a restart, the system ui kept force closing and wouldn't let me input the pin so I had to do a factory reset. Running good again but I haven't set the pin on restart again.

Can I flash this ROM and get root if I am coming from QC9? I've been out of the S7 root loop for a few months just trying to pick things back up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] NaCorL:
I've been using it just fine for the past few days. It works great coming from QC9, nearly doubled the battery life over root. Btw I don't think it matters what firmware you're on currently because the first step is to flash the T-Mobile one.

Can I flash this ROM to an AT&T Galaxy S7 if I change the APN afterwards?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] rarecarpenter:
I have run this rom on the AT&T S7. It works great, and I don't even think you have to change the APN. I haven't been able to install it with the stock kernel as of late, so let me know how flashing goes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] brandon79:
Ok I have verizon s7 flat already rooted and I am wanting to try this rom do i need to follow the instructions in OP or can I just skip to the flashfire steps, sorry just not that familiar with this phone yet and using flashfire I'm used to twrp
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] NaCorL:
Don't know if its 100% necessary but I would recommend it. There might be something I'm not aware of between the different firmwares. Plus, your reflash the AP file in flashfire after so it might be necessary for the files to match the ones flashed with odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] brandon79:
Thanks , that's what I was thinking but thought maybe I could skip a few steps , I didn't know if anyone had tried it or not thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mattkilla420:
I think I'm confused, I thought this was rooted? Or is there no root for Nougat yet? Like I said I've been out the scene a few months....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] NaCorL:
There is a way to root nougat, but the battery life is stupid bad. like 5 or 6 hours bad. This is meant to get around that and have all the bloat uninstalled without keeping it rooted. The process does involve rooting the phone, but the final step unroots the phone and replaces the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mattkilla420:
Perfect explanation thank you very much!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mikemerg1:
I thought I was the only one with this issue. Mine is showing as only 16 GB as well, but it's definitely a 32 GB model (not sure if they even make 16 GB models of the S7...)

Anyone have any input on this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] DJ XtAzY:
I used the instructions on page 68 and it worked well. Awesome!. But why can't one of the mods modify the first post with the latest instructions?

Also, how can I get the Ultra Power Saving mode to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] ezwalker63:
If I have a rooted AT&T S7 running Stangs MM ROM, can I just follow the steps on page 68 or is there anything else I need to do since I am currently on Marshmallow? Sorry if it's a stupid question...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] NaCorL:
Just to be safe I would try the following steps

1. Flash the stock MM firmware

2. try to get the nougat update over OTA

3. then follow the steps on pg 68

I'm not sure but I think that upgrading to nougat over Odin might trigger FRP. So try to get the nougat update another way then follow instructions.

Samsung pay doesn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] aurny:
Hey all, I have a question about rooting. IIUC, when you flash the root bootimg you're dropping in the eng kernel which gives you a root shell via adb. The bootimg just contains the kernel and ramdisk and doesn't modify any system files.

Then you use your adb root shell to install supersu; the installation process adds a bunch of startup files that make daemonsu work. Once that's done, you don't actually need the eng kernel for anything, because you have root via daemonsu.

So if you had a bootimg for the stock kernel, shouldn't you be able to flash that after rooting, and restore the performance and stability of the stock kernel, without losing root? I'm sure if it were that easy, someone would have done it already, but I'm curious why it wouldn't work...

(My main goal here is to get the benefits of the stock kernel, but still be able to use Titanium Backup!)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] NaCorL:
This is probably the wrong part of the forum to ask on. This sound more like a question to put in a general part of the forums.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mattkilla420:
Well damn! I think that just changed my mind on flashing this fire now.... Will keep checking back in hopes of a rooted rom with most everything working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Cm4nXD:
The answer to your question is simply this. Sammy locked down the S7 so it won't boot with custom binaries installed. To my understanding the eng kernal bypasses this because its marked as Dev so to speak. So without it, your device won't boot. It will get stuck on a blue screen of death saying security error custom binaries or something like that. Now we could work around this if we had an unlocked bootloader, but we don't so :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] spearoid:
Did you find a resolution for this? Apparently this isn't a wide spread issue. I don't have easy access to my friend's phone, but was considering updating my own phone to this latest U firmware (I'm on an older build) but I don't think I'm going to do this to my phone if it could cut my storage in half too with no fix. :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mikemerg1:
I haven't found a fix for it yet. I'm tempted to return to stock and then start fresh again to see if it corrects itself. I'll report back if I do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] brandon79:
I have a verizon s7 that was running BQA4 firmware that was rooted with the eng kernel and all was fine except for some lag and battery issues.so I decided to return to stock firmware BQA4, when I did I had the same problem showing 16GB and not 32GB. All I did was perform a factory data reset in stock recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, and I believe I also mounted system while in recovery not sure which one of theses steps fixed the problem but I now show 32GB of storage again. I'm not sure if this will help or not, maybe worth a try but no guarentees
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I don't currently use Samsung Pay, so I can't comment on this, but I can confirm that I still pass SafetyNet. I sound like a broken record by asking, but did you do a full wipe in Aroma? Are you currently rooted?

The ROM has nothing to do with it. Sounds like the wrong PIT file was used somewhere along the way. My S7 still shows 32 GB.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] DJ XtAzY:
Works for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] spearoid:
I guess I'll do the returning to stock technique. Not sure how the wrong PIT file could've made it into the mix.... I only have files I've gotten from links in this thread. I don't even remember seeing PIT files. Looks like at least three people have seen this issue now though.

As for Samsung Pay... It works beautifully for me. I haven't updated to the latest hybrid rom though. I'm on QA4 atm.

How do you turn secure boot off?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mcvoss:
What's the chance of this being upgraded to QF2 once it's released?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] NaCorL:
Secure Boot is the option in settings under security that make you put your password or pin in before your phone turns on. Make sure to have it off as it can cause serious problems with the installation process, as if the OP didn't make that evident enough.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Indyultra:
Yes full wipe in aroma, running qd2. Maybe I'll redo it again. I don't use Samsung pay either, but found out by accident when I clicked I the app.

Ok, I am a bit confused after reading the whole thread (my eyes hurt a little). I am currently running non rooted U firmware (nougat) on my SM-G930R4 (US Cellular). Do I need to flash Verizon firmware first then follow the instructions or can I do it from the stock U firmware?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] NaCorL:
It depends on which method your going to use. If you using the one in the OP then it would be highly recommended to flash the Verizon firmware first. But if your going to use the method on pg 68 then you could just start following the instructions from step 2, although I would recommend doing a factory reset first then following the guide from step 2.

In Call Speaker Volume Stuck

Hi

I was able to install QC1 ROM on Verizon Galaxy S7.

Noticed that in-call speaker volume is stuck to high.

If I try to change it, the volume slider moves but the volume does not reduce.

Is this a known bug ?

How can this be fixed ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] studiorat:
That is what they are called, in my friends Edge ....in the edge panels settings of his phone....So one could assume that's the name Samsung gave them....what I don't understand is why they were removed from the BS free variant of this Rom, but the other edge panels are included.....I did a search and it doesn't find the apk....I do find threads with mentions of the panels ....but only from a use standpoint , Thanks for the reply
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
Try the 70 app debloat or going through the debloat script ave finding those apk files to remove from the list manually
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
This is new to me. Mine sound works flawlessly. The only time I have sound issues is when my phone goes swimming, but it clears up as the speaker dries out.

To get it to boot without modding anything significant, I would start by downloading the latest G930T firmware and G930V firmware. In the vzw directory in the zip, swap the boot.img from the one for the G930T. The adspso, modem, and NON-HLOS bins come from the Verizon firmware. Do not Odin flash the CSC. Supposedly not flashing the CSC is what gives the ability for this DM-Verity exploit to work and allow system mods to boot. I have not verified this, but it comes from a reputable source, jrkruse. Also, I didn't make the firmware package. I linked someone else's zip as it put everything in one place without needing to download multiple files from multiple sources. The chances of bricking your phone is real, mostly soft bricks, but hard bricks are very possible when playing with bootloader updates such as this. This is why I take a long time to release updates, not just making the update, but because I test everything I post and want to make the process very simple to prevent bricks.

Neither I, nor jrkruse are on ATT, so nothing has been adapted to use WiFi calling on ATT. The ROM should work flawlessly on your phone, other than WiFi and/or Advanced Calling. The necessary files for ATT are not included in the ROM.

You'd have much more luck at finding your answer in the Edge forum. This is the Verizon S7 flat forum lol.

See above post.

In order to have access to the Aroma installer to flash that version do I need to Re Root and re Flash everything that was in OP ?

I ask because I followed the steps in OP from JKRuse to go to a totally stock debloated version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
I believe you would have to go through the process again because of the need to use flashfire after you modify the debloat list. There are instructions in this thread on modifying the zio

Different Camera Modes broken in the Camera NX app. Is there a fix? Lens blur, panorama to name a few.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
You can start from step 3 of my instructions, but I would highly recommend going to the correct thread for the EDGE and following those instructions.

The Google camera isn't very compatible. To be honest, I hate it. I reverted to the NO_BS version of the ROM because I can't stand the camera and in my line of work the camera is important. I believe I was able to download the Samsung camera app online and used that temporarily until I reflashed the ROM as NO_BS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Cm4nXD:
Well I did some research and found an updated NX camera apk that works on everything except video recording. And slow motion. But you are right. I'm going to try and get the Samsung camera back. Although I hope I can get the lens blur feature to work on the Samsung camera.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] appye:
Very cool! I now know where to find all the files you mentioned. Are there any others that I should be after?

Also, while I was easily able to get ahold of the TMobile QC1 firmware and extract boot.img, I only have the Verizon QA2 firmware for the bin files, and I am wanting QA4. I cannot seem to find it anywhere for download. It is being offered to me via OTA, however, with the notification saying "System Update Ready to Install," which leads me to believe they are already stored on my phone... I read that Samsung phones store OTA files in /data/fota on a running device. I am currently unable to access that folder because I am running stock, unrooted QA2. If I were to root, I may be able to gain into that folder, but are the necessary files located there? Are they in the same tar.md5 format as the downloadable versions we would flash with Odin? I really don't want to spend much time with a laggy, rooted phone, so I am hoping someone can confirm...

EDIT: OR if someone knows where I can obtain a modem.bin, adspso.bin, and NON-HLOS.bin from Verizon QA4 firmware?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
I flashed the vzw csc file when going through the steps. Is this why the wifi calling and advanced aren't working? Been reading through a few posts and I'm trying to figure that out now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
If it says ready to install, then it should already be on your device. Flash the root kernel and pull the update.zip from that directory. The bins should be in that zip, unless they don't get updated with the OTA.

You aren't supposed to flash the CSC. That's why they aren't in the directions. Did you enable Advanced calling and WiFi calling? Also, do you pass SafetyNet? Install the SafetyNet test app from the PlayStore and check.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:

I was going to upload a link to the latest Verizon firmware for you, but it took hours to download from the source, and by then I had everything I needed. Honestly, rewriting the instructions took longer than modifying lol. I didn't need to use my phone much today, so I had ample time to flash it and test it for awhile. ;)
