what is the current best method to reach this point? i have waded through tons of threads and i'm now more confused than when i started.

is it as simple as flashing the engineering kernel with odin and the installing flashfire?

you must have cut the 2 off the end.

and yes, that is some eye hurting stuff there. but the OP of that 261 page thread hasn't been updated in a year. and throughout the thread there are hundreds of links to files and conflicting views of what works better,.....

just wondering what [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] recommends to root a stock verizon s7 at this stage of the game.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Silkmeister1:
Oh my god. Jrkuse. You have done something truly extroadinarily.

gotsick of the hybrid rom being laggy and all of a sudden you port ATT's Oreo to us and I have to say the installation went smoothly with no hiccups and the phone is FLYING

thanks a bunch!

I tried to flash this on the ATT s7 but flashfire was not detecting the zip file in internal storage. So I tried flashing the vzw hybrid BRA1 but had nothing but problems with it and when it finally booted up to the set up it kept restarting the phone and I couldn't get anywhere but flash back to att nougat. I guess i'm just confused on how this is supposed to be flashed on anything but a verizon s7?

TMobile s7 flat variant here

I flashed this, gave it a run and now I'm trying to go back to stock to reflash my backup. Only issue I'm having is Odin is rejecting bra1 firmware for me now. Any idea?

Looking into it more download mode is telling me I have an att version now after flashing the tmo from this set up. I'm gonna try att firmware now

Can someone provide me the links and guide to revert back to stock 7.0 G930U, I can't find it anywhere, then the methods on how to root so I can install this version of Oreo?

Aight im gonna try it, once I get the Oreo rom downloaded, its so slow lol

Also, if Irevert back to the stock ATT build, do I choose ATT Carrier when flashing the Oreo rom or do I choose Verizon? Since my phone was originally a Verizon version but I'm on ATT now

If your not using it with a sim card it probably doesn't matter, if you are using a sim card just choose the carrier of your sim card.

Hey, is anyone else having issues with mobile hotspot functionality? Thanks for the heartbeat sensor fix as well. Can't say I had any other issues when I tried flashing this. Excited for a fix. Hopefully root for Oreo won't be plagued with severe lag, overheating, and bootloops. L-Speed mods and Gov-Tuner didn't seem to work either, unfortunately.

Installed with a bit of an issue. Apparently Flashfire no longer works unless you have the paid version and the only way to get the paid version is to buy it through the app. A bit of a catch 22. In the Play comments for Flashfire I found a way to purchase the app. First, download the app from the app store. Do not open it. Change the date on your phone to 3/30/2018. Run the app and then purchase the paid version. I was then able to use Flashfire to install this rom. Thanks for the great rom guys!

I have the premium version already, but there is a workaround if you don't have the premium version. If you set the system date back to before 4/1/18, everything works, even if you don't buy the premium version. Premium is well worth it for all the development he has done.

Battery life is significantly better than the T-Mobile based nonamerom. It's like medium powersave mode set with 1080p and 70% CPU in my experience (YMMV)

I'm pretty sure it's Odin or something to flash it back (there's a very specific tool from Verizon I've linked to in a couple places before for rom flash induced softbrick [I'm too lazy to look it up right now] (also it might actually be from Samsung but Verizon branded))

Edit: still lazy but here's a copypasta of one of those posts:

I had a similar issue, I had to download the Software Upgrade Assistant tool from verizon to get it to work

I think this is the direct link you'll want

Just got a Gear VR and running into an issue where the head tracking doesn't work. I can get into the apps, but anything requiring the cursor or input doesn't respond. Controller will pair but doesn't appear in Oculus Home, touchpad on the headset responds to tapping but no dragging.

Does anybody have any guidance for this? I've tried a couple of the methods here to try to go back to VZW stock but it's resulted in some near bricks and bootloops, so I'm looking for guidance before I keep banging my head against a wall.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] xMMKx:
I used flashfire to add this but the heartrate monitor is killing me. The "fix" works but only if you don't leave the phone where something is near the sensor for extended periods of time while the screen is on. That trips it back on and you gotta do everything again including a reboot.

Trying to go back to stock but Odin won't flash anything on the phone now. Oops lol Tried comsy Odin too although not sure which firmwares I tried flashing. Just know they were previous stock images for Verizon gs7

EDIT: I was able to flash back to BRC3. I'll wait a bit before I do anything else

I was on stock nougat rooted and flashed this on G930V. Did NOT get the corrupt storage message when phone booted but it did get stuck on the samsung logo the first time. I pushed button combo for download mode and then the phone booted up just fine. I love the rom, significantly faster and smoother than the nougat i was on.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gadget!:
OK, I can get through the pre-install and boot into Oreo just fine but I can't seem to get Safestrap to install.

I checked md5 on the downloads and all is good.

Here is where the trouble starts:

8. As soon as phone powers off hold buttons to reboot to recovery

9. Let recovery bootloop at least once

Recovery doesn't bootloop, it boots into recovery with a bunch of failed messages, something like failed to read recovery - no such file or directory exists.

I went ahead and finished the rest of the steps down to 19 but when if I try to reboot all I get is a continuous bootloop on the black Android screen.

On initial boot of stock Oreo I never went through any setup, I booted back into download mode.

It's late now, I have started all over and stopped after getting the stock Oreo installed and booted up. I will try again if anyone has any ideas of what I might be doing wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jrkruse:
After your stock and you flash the eng bootloaders and reboot ro recovery then you run the system cmd is it actually installing files in the adb screen or does it just race through and reboot you to download. Because it should take a couple of minutes to install
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gadget!:
I does take some time, it displays percentage as it is installing.

Flashed this last night with no issues. Also was able to flash xposed and a deepbloat script from psouza4. Xposed flashed without a issue. The deepbloat script would freeze safestrap alittle I just left it for a while when I came back the phone was off so I went thru the process to exit safestrap. Bootup was pretty quick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gadget!:
Well after trying again last night I decided to download everything again and check things out.

The Verizon zip was identical to what I had downloaded (I did check the MD5 and it was correct). but the FF_ADB_G930_CRE5.zip file was missing the entire system folder and all the files in that folder!

I started over and was able to get it booted normally and then I booted into safestrap without any problems.

So if I'm understanding this correctly Safestrap is only temporary, you flash in Odin, do whatever you need to do then flash back and boot normally?

That's still leaps and bounds from what we had before.

Now hopefully someone will get this baby rooted. :)

Thank you for all you do!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jrkruse:
Safestrap is installed in the system but the only way to enter safetrap is with a permissive kernel and the only permissive stock kernel made for the s7 was from the Marshmallow Combo firmware. So basically you have to flash the bootloaders and boot.img from the Marshmallow combo firmware to enter safestrap then to exit safestrap you have to flash back the regular bootloaders and boot.img and recovery.img but in doing this it screws up dmverity so we have to do a little trick by getting the recovery to bootloop which erases the dmverity key. All this is accomplished with a special recovery that allows for insecure adb. Which allows me to push the modified cache images required to make the stock recovery bootloop. I discovered this back in the day from from flashing the leaked nougat coming from oreo . Then [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] found a little different approach for the note8 when oreo came out and this made me revisit the procedure I used back on Nougat coming from Marshmallow. So drop him a thanks also as I didnt think it would no longer work on S7 and if he wouldnt have discovered his method on the note 8. I probably would not have went back and tried on S7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] SamGuy2020:
Thats what it sounds like in instructions Still worth it for xposed and debloat and the other things we will be able to flash maybe grx touchwiz mod. Means basically root tier mods without the root.

I reuploaded the ODIN_ADB_G930_CRE5.zip because I realized secure folder was not working. So the best way to fix this with out loosing data is to reflash the AP file from the odin cre5 frimware when done flashing reboot back to download and start the install process again. This time during the process step 14 choose the xx_AddCacheWipeCache.cmd instead of xx_AddCache WipeData.cmd. this will keep your data. I also disabled hotspot provision check
