[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] jobsecurity28:
*****EDIT*****

I kept at it and decided to restart my computer. The attempt using PrinceComsy and VZW_G930VVRU2APE1 failed. However, using Odin 3.12.3 and G930VVRU4API3_G930VVZW4API3_VZW, I had success!!! I guess the old adage of always restart your computer paid off this time. Thanks.

Hello all,

I'm newer to this forum. I used the GUIDE: ROOT, install XPOSED, and UNROOT/returning to stock a Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge post (https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039) to root my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 in an attempt to recover lost photos and videos (the files just disappeared when the phone got full). I was able to root without issue, including following the recommended next steps and installing xposed. However, now that that adventure is done, I am attempting to unroot to the Verizon stock firmware, all attempts so far have failed.

The original Verizon stock for the S7 was 6.0.1. My first attempt to unroot was using the suggested firmware VZW_G930VVRU2APE1 using Odin3_v3.12_PrinceComsy. I loaded the proper AP, CP, and CSC files in Download mode (ID:COM was blue and showed as 0:[COM6]). After running this, it failed (see log results below). At this point, I was unable to boot the phone (nor could I shut it down) and got a system update failure error screen. I was able to get back to Downloading... and attemped to unroot to G930VVRU4API3_G930VVZW4API3_VZW using Oden 3.12.3. Same errors. I will admit, I attempted adding the BL file on a second try based on another site's recommendations. That failed, too. So now, I'm at a total loss as to what to do, and do not know how to fix this.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks much!
