[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] XMayhem2099:
ROOT U Firmware

Hello everyone it's XMayhem here!

We have two root methods with other combined guides along with tweaks & mods after root

These root methods are specifically for Sprint U firmware

Why? Less bloat and a lot more stable in rooting

The first method I personally use, you don't need Lspeed or Kernel auditor. The quickvic's rootbat it'self has all the performance you need with no lag. Or you can use the supersu 2.82 root.bat by jrkruse

Your choice of root!;)

First off I'm not responsible for any damage done to your phone or if the world explodes.

Or flashing twrp when it's not stated to flash in the OP. That's why we have flashfire people.

U Firmware Files they can be found on both sites

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

http://updato.com/

For root you need to be on a clean installation of U Firmware

Once you have firmware extract files

1. Place phone in download mode. Power + Vol Down + Home

2. Connect Phone to computer

3. Open Official Odin

4. Odin should recognize your phone. If not, you need to download and install the Samsung Driver Files here http://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows

5. Place the BL, AP, CP,CSC_OYM from the rar in the corresponding slots.

6. Press Start & Firmware should flash

Next Download these files

Official odin for flashing stock U firmware https://samsungodin.com/

Playstore apps you'll need

Bk package disabler paid

or Adhell it's free

Flashfire https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash&hl=en

Got everything downloaded? Good let's move on

G930U RC1 Nougat Root

1. First, you should already have flashed the U firmware

2. Completely finish activation and finish initial setup (I recommend signing into google first then samsung account after root)

3. Update PRL and Profile.

4. Then enable USB debugging under developer settings and turn off verify apps via ADB.

5.Turn off auto update system in developer options

6. Go into other security settings from lock screen and security settings, click security policy updates and turn auto updates off

7. Disable the following packages via bk or adhell

Chameleon

Sprint OMADM

Sprint OMADM Phone Interface

MDMApp

SecurityLogAgent

Security Policy Updates

Security Storage

8. This step is for people who use Snapchat:p like me make sure you have downloaded it and already logged in before moving on to the next step. You won't be able to sign in after root I know there are games that might not work either ex. Pokemon Go

9. Flash the engboot image via Modified Odin by PrinceComsy Flash it in AP Slot

10. For Sprint MMS/DATA fix go to:

Settings>Connections>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names

Delete Wholesales OTA apn by selecting, clicking top right menu, and delete.

Now the Global Roaming APN.. select it.

Change the whole APN to:

Name: APN2 LTE Internet

APN: n.ispsn

MMSC: http://mms.sprintpcs.com

Multimedia message proxy: 68.28.31.7

Multimedia message port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 000 // Do Not CHANGE!

APN type: default,supl,mms,dun,fota

APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6

APN roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6

Bearer: LTE

Top right menu>SAVE! Make sure APN2 LTE Internet is enabled and by the dot being blue. LTE should display icon and reset device to verify it stuck.

Before flashing either root. For those having samsung expired session please check out this link.

It works on both root methods

Samsung pass apk will install, if the samsung account apk doesn't install just use the apkmirror one here https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type...amsung+account

11. Run Quickvics root.bat file ( Same with Jkruse root)

Here's how

1. Extract rootbat

2. Open the folder & double click root windows batch file

3. Wait for your phone to be recognized, it'll install root on it's own

4. Wait for your phone to reboot, and for your phone to recognized by computer

5. Once it's recognized go back into quickvics folder and click on fingerprint fix folder

6. Double click fingerprint fix windows batch

7. After it installs go into recovery mode by powering off phone holding Home+Power+Volume Up button

8. Wait till the android icon falls and it'll bring you to the recovery page

9. Wipe cache & reboot phone

10. I ask that you let your phone settle after the reboot, don't touch it for at least a good 15 mins!!

Sign in to your samsung account and Enjoy your rooted phone!:victory:

Extras & Mods

Hotspot
