Thanks to [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] we will have root soon as I put some stuff together
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] abyss7:
If you need a tester for S7 flat I can. Eng boot works very smoothly, much much better than on nougat.

OREO ROOT IS HERE!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] TheDevelopper:
[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION], can I flash some boot animations? or the white boot animation will still there with your CRF1 hybrid rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] C64assembly:
Great Job and fantastic news!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] TheDevelopper:
[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION], in your CRF1 rom, when I want to restart the phone it shows a complete dark (not black) screen witch was the T-Mobile logo before that disappears in less than 2 seconds then it shows the Samsung logo, is there any way to remove it or it's from the boot.img?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
CRG2 Firmware based off of Ufirmware base in the OP. I need some testers on ATT and Tmobile. Everything tested and working on Verizon

Is it possible to install your mods/safestrap to ufirm without installing any carrier specific files?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
So you want ufirm with no working visual voice mail and no video calling or wificalling?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] TheDevelopper:
[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION], I think you can create a modified S7 edge SystemUi apk with pushing the S9's live wallpaper on it? Please, if you won't do it, just tell me if it's possible? I have already decompiled the both apk files
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] RXT00:
I'm using it as an unlocked phone in other countries, so I don't think those features would work anyway. I'm only asking because when I install Verizon stuff it nags me about mobile data when ufirm doesn't do that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Well choose tmobile on install

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] coming from cre5 to crG2 and after install I cannot get into Safestrap to flash your SafeStrap Flashable Zips from post #2? When I flash the enter safestrap tar it says its disabled and just reboots my phone at which point I have to reinstall the rom. Worked before on cre5. Any idea why I cannot get into safestrap at all now?

Has anyone else successfully got into Safestrap since crG2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] BreadtheRipper:
I ran through the entire setup process and also ended up not being able to enter safestrap and having to completely reinstall everything

Although I haven't been able to get into safestrap since CRF1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] justclowninround:
When I flash the safestrap tar I end up in stock recocery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Safestrap is installed but it does not automatically boot to safestrap when you flash the enter safestrap tar file. Watch the phone screen when you see the safestrap splash screen click to enter safestrap you may have to click slightly below the button to enter safestrap. I did this because setting safestrap to automatically enter it was causing problems if you root this rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] gwilly3301:
Can you reflash CRG2 without having to wipe data if you are already on CRG2?

In the install directions one of the last steps is to wipe data but if we are just reinstalling the same ROM, will we need to do that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
If it is this rom no but if its stock CRG2 then yes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] gwilly3301:
Okay thank you! So when I get to the "no command then wipe data" part, just skip to rebooting to system?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Yes make sure too wait till recovery options come up. I always wipe cache first
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] tx_dbs_tx:
Yes it's possible and i've done it a few times, but imbedding new wallpapers isn't as simple as adding the new images into systemui or framework-res, etc. There's more edits that have to be done so these new images are properly identified within each corresponding system apk... not just systemui. The bottom line: It's not worth the trouble. It's simple enough to just download the new wallpapers that have been extracted from new phones and place them on your phone's internal storage/sd card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] DildoMaster:
Hey [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] I rooted CRE5 and then was able to unroot and keep data by following the Old Install Instructions and using xx_AddCacheWipeCache in Step 14.

While rooted, I used Titanium Backup and backed up all my stuff.

Do you think it'd be possible to install GRG2, root it, restore with Titanium Backup, then unroot by going through the Install Instructions again? I see at Step 18 you have to wipe data, so maybe when unrooting, only wipe cache instead?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] tola4eva:
Pls I know this is unrelated, but I'm using my Verizon phone outside the US and anytime I dial *929*10# on my carrier, it tells me call forwarding... Is there anyway to deactivate or bypass this? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] fatal187:
can make calls, but cant receive

Got everything flashed over and everything seems to work fine, i have data connection, can make calls, but nothing happens if you call the phone, rings a few times then goes to VM...Im sure im missing something:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] fatal187:
NM.....figured it out. Reflashed everything:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] SoNic67:
[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] How about if I got already the G935UUES4CRG3 firmware (CSC version G935UOYM4CRG3)? Phone's a Verizon one, with stock "U" FW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] rodrigoanizmo:
you cleaned the phone storage not the SD card correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] FusionX:
[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] if I root this ROM so I can restore some apps and date with Titanium BU, can I simply reflash BL and AP files from the SM-G935U_G935UUEU4CRG2.zip and during the process step 14 choose the xx_AddCacheWipeCache.cmd as you stated here this will retain my data and fully unroot the ROM so that Samsung Pay will work and safetynet will pass?

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Nubz143:
My samsung galaxy s7 edge verizon (G935V) will boot into safestrap but when i do it says "safestrap is disabled" what do i do to fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] tdjb:
Thanks [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] for putting this all together!

I am stuck with regards to the pit file mentioned in the pre-install step #3. The two zip downloads don't appear to have it (that I can tell). I googled for it and found one supposedly from jrkruse, but when I use it, odin fails :(

Am I missing something? I am running:

- SM-G930V

- G930VVRS4CRG2

- Previously completed the root method from [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] from here: https://xdaforums.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616

*EDIT*

So I read through this a bit more and it appears the latest zip is targeted for CRG2 and not CRF1? If I skip the pre-install stuff and go right to flashing BL_ENG_BOOTLOADERS_G93*.tar, it still errors out and I see "SECURE CHECK FAIL : apdp" on the download screen on the phone...

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
No but I'm working on a way to unroot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
This is for s7 edge not s7 flat
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] badapple420:
Press right under where it says safestrap or recovery on the bottom left it will boot to safestrap you can't see the button but its there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Archangel:
What does the dual speaker zip do and I know it says it is to be flashed using safestrap but can you use flashfire?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] drakonizer:
MODERATOR INFO: Thread cleaned.

Please refrain from ranting in development threads and derailing the discussion.

Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] gwilly3301:
Dual speakers activates the top phone grill as a speaker when playing media to give you a stereo effect. You'll have the bottom and top speakers going at the same time, it's considerably less loud but works really well and don't worry calls work just fine with it. You can flash through flashfire
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Archangel:
Thanks brother for the explanation, gonna give it a try. Man that dual speaker mod is a must the sound coming out now is amazing!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
New Root Unroot method along with Verizon CRG2 firmware in OP. This requires a fresh start so dont ask if you have to wipe the answer is yes. Directions have changed so please reread. If you were on CRG2 Ufirm version of this you still have too start over and Use Verizon CRG2 firmware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] shadowmoses:
Quick question I just wanna make sure I understand this fully. I am running the crf1 using your method and it works great. As for the safestrap am I correct in assuming that it's a tethered boot into and out of safestrap using the instructions for how to enter and exit?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Its a whole processe to enter safestrap but if you follow directions you will be fine. The new version in OP is a n root/unroot which is faster than using safestrap. Safestrap is still available however
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Maxissc:
Installed new version, rooted. Working excellent. copy/paste working too :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] shadowmoses:
Ok so I must be mistaken I've taken it that safestrap is the custom recovery used to flash zips to the device. Or is there some different type of custom recovery that we use with root?

And also how is it easier to unroot and root to get zips flashed when you already have root?

Sorry if this is a noob question.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
This rom is made to run either rooted or unrooted. You can make your mods while rooted use flashfire to flash stuff then unroot and be back to a state that will pass safeynet and allow Samsung Pay and other apps too work. If you need to modify something you can simply reflash engboot.img and you are automatically rerooted. Safestrap really isn't needed anymore but its still there incase you are bootlooped or you made a safestrap backup you need to restore
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Glad to hear it works. Thanks for feedback
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] shadowmoses:
Thanks for the quick reply OP this makes sense now thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] biikman:
My apologies, probably a stupid question.. steps 1-7 complete no problem, but confused as far as install. to Run xxx_FlashSystem.cmd you need to be in recovery correct? If so, when I go into recovery I do see the no command screen, and then as it should, it goes into recovery, but phone is not connected via ADB to flash xxx_FlashSystem.cmd. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious and appreciate your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
You need to have the phone booted up with engboot.img and phone connected to computer then run the flashsystem.cmd
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] biikman:
See told you it was a dumb Question lol. I wasn't completely booted into phone.. just at startup screen. All set, once again thanks for your kind assistance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
It use too be the other way but to get root installed it wont work being booted to recovery and using adb
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Sixonefour:
New install went great. Thanks [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]! So much simpler than the first few times around. Tried to flash the Google Pixel Style flashable in FlashFire and it doesn't seem to be working. It looked like it installed but when it rebooted Samsung apps were still present. Worked in Safestrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Did you choose too mount system when flashfire asks you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Sixonefour:
Probably not. Didn't realize I had to. It unrooted me as well. I assume I can just reroot using the instructions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
I dont know how it would unroot you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Sixonefour:
I don't know. It did after I used the exit safestrap instructions and everything booted back up. I went into the rom control app and it said I was not rooted. I can reroot using the instructions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Yes. Just curious why did you follow the exit safestrap directions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Sixonefour:
I went into safestrap to install the google pixel style and host ad blocking flashables after it didn't work with flashfire.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
It wont as long as you are rooted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Sixonefour:
I'm not rooted and I got nexflix installed. Had to install though Chrome but I had to change the permission to let it install. It's not even showing up in the playstore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
If you didnt unroot with the unroot button in rom control then follow unroot instructions then you are technically not unrooted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] shjeanpy:
Thanks for your help I will give a try

Do you have any file oreo camera that i flash in my s7 edge [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Yes its called this rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] hedoujeff02:
Can you send it for me please? or tell me where i can find it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] C64assembly:
There is no working Oreo camera for the s7 edge outside of the unofficial att rom that has been modified to work with our Verizon kernel and modem. You can't get the oreo camera to work properly because it is missing to much of the oreo framework. If you want the Oreo camera you will have to go all in and flash the rom in the O.P. or wait patiently for the proper rom to be delivered to your phone OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Just to clear you up on one thing this rom is not using verizon kernel or verizon modem its using ATT oreo kernel and oreo modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] C64assembly:
Ok It makes sense that the kernel is AT&t. but the modem is aT&t with compatability fixes to work on Verizon network? Is it possible to flash a Verizon modem from nougat to get better battery life and better wifi signal or would that bork the rom? I remember a Nougat rom you put together that had a lot of tmobile code and someone posted a modem file to help with reception.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] toolhas4degrees:
Bugs

Dont know if all of this was reported yet. Came from att firmware. LEDs don't work for charging and notifications. Also the health sensor on back of phone near camera lens seems to be on 24/7. Only bugs I have found this far

Only flashed firmware and rom in flashfire. Did not flash wifi fix or oreo files at end of first post
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] kpirnie:
Something new. Was looking to get a fresh start with this, but both versions of Odin are showing me a red text on the Download screen. "Odin protocol version error!" When I attempt to go back to stock.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] kpirnie:
I was able to get rid of the 'Odin protocol version error' by using Odin 3.12, however, now I'm getting a SHA256 invalid error on files I know to be good firmwares.

Can we not downgrade after flashing this [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] ?

---------- Post added at 09:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

Ok, so I got it to finally work.

Probably just me, and because I'm on a G935VC, but it's here in case anyone else runs into this.

I had to use 2 different versions of Odin to accomplish this.

Step 1

Odin Stock firmware AP file only with Odin 3.12.3, check options and uncheck 'auto reboot'

Step 2

Hold Vol-Down, Home, Power until device reboots direct into Download mode

Odin CP, CSC, BL using Price Comsy's version, repeating the 'uncheck auto-reboot', and reboot direct to DL mode as above

I know... odd, but it's the only thing that worked for me to go back to stock Nougat firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] toolhas4degrees:
Use old Odin from n rom prince comsey
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] kpirnie:
I did. See my last reply for what I actually had to do :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
You just need to use prince comsy if it fails then open your BL tar file with 7zip or whatever if there is a meta-data folder in it just unzip the BL file and rezip all the files in .tar format and leave out the meta_data folder and flash your carrier pit file as well or do it your way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] kpirnie:
LOL

Yeah, did it my way. Didn't want to mess with firmware files I know already work ;)

Looking forward to more updates to this rom mate... i'm back on stang's for now... and only because I need root for a few things. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Craz Basics:
Look into RMM, supposedly coming in a near OTA. It's a "theft protection" lock and it prevents flashing out of region firmware and eng boot flashing. And if you do flash something of the sort it will "brick" your phone, or lock it, for a week until you can flash stock again. Pretty lame but...

Not saying that was your problem, but just make a note of it. I don't recommend updating past Jan patch until you know it doesnt have RMM as you cannot revert (I believe it's a binary update/bootloader update. Can't rollback bootloader)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] kpirnie:
Dang you Verizon! ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Craz Basics:
Sounded to me as if it were sammy implementing it. Not sure if sprint has it though (aren't they v5?)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
No they don't. Note 8 has it and you can still flash u1 firmware and W Canadian firmware so it don't patch much on Qualcomm devices anyways
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Craz Basics:
Gotya, thanks for the clarification. I think it was bila who posted a link and it was on the note8 8.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] SkylineDriver:
First, I want to thank the JKruse for working on and providing this ROM.

Installation went smooth as silk, no serious errors or hiccups at the moment. The only issue I have encountered thus far is the inability to turn on mobile hotspot. I have checked all of the settings but keep getting a error message: "All apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked, or are not installed." I have NOT flashed the WIFI fix as WIFI and BT work fine, but I am wondering if flashing the fix files will repair the hotspot/tethering function?

Also, I found that the Disconnect Pro app does not work- incompatible Knox version. Just tossing that out there.

Again, thanks again to all for this project.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Sixonefour:
Interesting. I don't seem to have any root permissions. Those unroot steps are very close to the exit safestrap steps which I did. Are you suggesting I unroot even though I'm not rooted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
You wont pass safetynet and thats why Netflix didn't show up. You are unrooted but the su binary is still in the system/xbin folder thats why you need to reflash engboot.img to reroot and unroot the proper way

Edit: Also after you unroot properly you may need to wipe data in playstore app so it registers device as official this will cause certain apps like netflix not to show up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Sixonefour:
Thanks! Maybe add the check the mount system box in flashfire to the OP for the flashables for other dummies like me :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] shadowmoses:
Update. I have gotten my device revived still a little buggy but I can provide logs and everything cuz there's some how still a residual data after all the wipes and flashing I did. But I wanna thank u OP for your help and anyone else who chimed in on my issue. Thx guys. And I will post back with more info later when I'm free.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Archangel:
I want to know how anyone updated to the latest CRG2 firmware with no pit files or CSC carrier files in the zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] shadowmoses:
There is a pit file in the zip. Its packed into the Csc file that you flash in Odin. You can use winrar or 7zip and extract it from the csc file I believe it starts with hero2vzw or something along those lines I know it starts with hero and its the only pit file in the csc file it's only 2 files inside of that file archive.

Hope this helps ya..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Archangel:
Cool didnt know that,,,last time the pit file was included in the main zip after you extracted and there was no need to extract the CSC file in order to get it. I assume you can do this same for S7 flat?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] shadowmoses:
)1edge only. But I'm not 100percent that if u flashed it by mistake or something that it won't flash it or maybe start it even. But I personally would say the the files for the flat to Odin flash instead. But I'm sure the OP

can tell u better then I can.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Archangel:
Yeah I meant if I extract the S7 flat version of the CSC file and use that pit file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] shadowmoses:
Oh ok.... gotcha then yes. I hope all goes well. also dont forget to make your backup as well. Just in case things go wrong.
