It's great to see SafeStrap for the S7 and the ability to quickly root/unroot.

Is it likely the ROM slots feature will be made functional on the S7?

I see ROM slots work on the S8, But is the S7 root similar enough that this feature can be brought to the S7 SafeStrap? Or are there major obstacles on the S7 that are likely to prevent it ever working for this phone? I'm sorry if this sounds like a feature request, but I'm really just evaluating whether to buy the S7 or S8. If somebody is working on it and I purchase an S7, I will be glad to help.

I'm having another issue I can't hear WhatsApp caller voice but he can hear mine. tried listening through loudspeaker and bottom speaker no luck.It works fine when I make calls with Samsung's phone app I also tried this with fb messenger app doesn't work either. I think problem is with third party apps. Same goes to my att s7 edge on CRF1. I reverted back to CRE5 on Verizon s7 flat and the issue is no more.... don't know if anyone else have this problem.

I tried rooting with magisk on both stock and modified rom. No luck. When try to install zip from recovery it gives an error message. Tried the patch boot image method too. Magisk app successfully created a patched_boot.img file but Odin gave error message when I tried to flash it. As said so many times before. . . No root yet

[edit- im on cre5 actually, my mistake]

hello,

to preface i will note i am very very new in terms of flashing software. that being said, i am also using a SM-G891A. it seems like S7 and S7 edge roms have a coinflip chance with this handset, but regardless, i'm on oreo CRE7 atm.

is there any reason i should have failure at the PIT file using CRE7? Just trying to skip reflashing down to CRE5. Sorry if this is a redundant or ridiculous question

(Also, the fact this community is so lively and evolving really makes me interested. keep it up!)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Azuma73:
Make sure that "Re-Partition" box is NOT checked in Odin!! For some reason, mine kept automatically checking it ever time I'd reset Odin... it was weird!?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Tylerlewis395:
I'm completely retarded - I AM on CRE7 actually.

Changed Odin's .ini to remove the auto tick on re-partition... no dice, "SECURE CHECK FAIL : apdp"

OREO ROOT IS HERE!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Is anyone else having an issue with the Galaxy app not updating apps? I love the Samsung Music player, but it crashes in Oreo. When I attempt to update it through the Galaxy app, it downloads the update, but will not install. It does this for all app updates in the Galaxy app, but this is the one I care about.

---------- Post added at 06:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 AM ----------

Now that root is achieved, do you have any outlook on making this an easy root/unroot ROM? That was an amazing feature on your Nougat build.

When I rooted this ROM, I was able to use FlashFire to flash things, but the resolution for the stock recovery is much different, so FlashFire's resolution was way off in it's recovery environment. I couldn't get Safestrap to work, so I attempted to flash the debloater.zip in FlashFire. It worked, but the resolution really messed with Aroma, causing mirrored/duplicated prompts and the buttons were drastically offset.

When flashing the first BL_ENG_BOOTLOADERS_G930.tar in the instructions I get the following error in ODIN. I did the pre-install of CRF1 and the phone boots into the TMO version. I have a verizon s7 flat. Thanks.

<ID:0/003> Can't open the specified file. (Line: 1892)

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

After re-flashing the stock CRF1 Firmware again. I was able to get it to work. I did not select the .PIT file the third time around. Everything seems to be working ok for the moment. However I am getting repeated calendar crashes and the camera keeps failing when switching to the front camera.

Is anyone having random reboots ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] billyt1:
Samsung music app works on stock verizon oreo. Also if you debloated make sure not to debloat galaxy app from system had the same issue with it not installing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
[MENTION=7624679]billyt1[/MENTION], When you say stock Verizon Oreo, are you talking about actual stock, or this ROM? I can use the Galaxy app, so it hasn't been debloated lol, but the issue is that it doesn't update any of the Galaxy apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] billyt1:
Yeah Bone stock. It just updated to crg2 today...

Yeah mine still worked to because the app updated but after I set the phone up alittle I flashed the debloat script and it removed it from system/app but was still in data /app. Still worked just wouldn't update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I'm posting a bug in the ROM outlined in the OP, so commenting that it works on your phone is making it confusing if you aren't running said ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] billyt1:
Yea I could of been alittle clearer I am running this rom on my phone. My girlfriends is running stock verizon on hers. Sorry about that.

Hi, any chance to get this updated to CRG2? Thanks for your hard work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] billyt1:
If you go to the verizon s7 edge forums he's got a crg2 rom jus like this one I had to use the bootloader files from this CRF1 rom but when instructed to flash system jus flash the crg2 system instead of crf1 everything runs really good except safestrap doesn't work with the crf1 bootloader files which is fine because of root and flashfire

Can anyone suggest a Samsung galaxy App store that will let me update apps? I have tried 4.2.11, and 5.1.01.8 and both look like they update but dont?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] billyt1:
Does your Play Store still update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Archangel:
Yeah play store still updates fine but the galaxy store says there is updates and tries to downloads them but after it is done it says to update again LOL??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] billyt1:
Yea mine did that and my play store wouldn't update I actually couldn't install any app that I downloaded from web either.

SamsungUpdates is my preloaded and the other is the one it updated to

What does the dual speaker zip do and I know it says it is to be flashed using safestrap but can you use flashfire?

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 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Archangel:
Has anyone seen a noticeable difference running the new CRG2 firmware? I have everything set up nice and its running great on the old firmware dont want to mess with it if its not worth too much different. So cool that this device still has support!

Another question, use magisk is possible?

can i update the binaries for su?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Archangel:
I dont believe Magisk will work and there was something in the OP about updating the Su binaries so be careful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jrkruse:
No do not update su binaries the app wont let you anyways just goto app notifications and disable notifications on supersu app. Magisk is not possible
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mario6714:
someone please can share the file apns-conf.xml from rom 930U?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gadget!:
For the past couple of weeks I have been running not rooted. Now you came up with this and I had to do it.

I followed the instructions to a T and everything worked great!

My question is that after I completed the install my phone wasn't rooted, did I miss something?

Samsung Pass, Samsung Pay, and other apps stated that my phone was rooted and these apps would not work on a rooted phone.

I had no SuperSU and any app I tried to run that required root would obviously not run.

Not a big deal, I just ran the new v11 root process and all was good.

Now that I have things set up the way I want I was going to remove root but I am stuck on the first step (number 1.)

"1. In Rom Control on phone in phone and settings choose to Unroot Rom"

I can't find Rom Control, is this something I need to install or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Oh and by the way, the copy and paste issue is gone :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jrkruse:
Nothing installed during the adb process did you have eng boot.img flashed before running adb. If so you probable need to open the cmd-here command to open a command window then type run xxxflashsystem i cant remember the exact name but type run then exact name of that file and hit enter
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gadget!:
I thought it installed but maybe not, I'll give that a try.

Thank you so much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jrkruse:
I will double check the zip make sure i didn't forget something
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gadget!:
That seemed to work, a lot of things installed this time that didn't last time, SuperSU for one.

I haven't got everything set up yet to try to unroot but I'm sure it will be OK, I'll let you know how it goes.

Thnks again for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] JStearns:
Has anyone tried this ROM with Android Auto? I'm pretty new to this process so I may have messed up in the install, but it is for sure on the phone side where the communication fails for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jrkruse:
Are you rooted or unrooted because it may not work rooted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] JStearns:
I attempted to root using your other thread https://xdaforums.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616 and then flashed this ROM. My phone now says it is not rooted. Do I need to root using the method on this thread after installing this ROM? Sorry for a basic question.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gadget!:
It was probably user error on my part but I was pretty careful.

I don't think any of the system apps installed. Installing from cmd worked fine.

I made the tweaks I wanted in system, changed the boot animation and the unroot process went just as described.

The ROM is smooth as butter and fast!

Thanks for all that you guys do.

It is probably just me but the pit files do not seem to be in the zip, I have downloaded 3 times and extracted but they are not there like they were last time? Checked it again and there are only 5 files in the zip, last time there were 9? How has anyone else updated from the crf1 to the new crg2??? I dont think I can use the same pit file from the crf1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] waingro808:
I just downloaded and see 5 files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Archangel:
Yeah there are 5 files but none of them are the pit files? Do you have them in yours? It will look like this

HEROQLTE_USA_VZW.pit

but nope not there

As a matter of fact there are no other CSC files there also like last time for At&T, TMO just Verizon's?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] waingro808:
No pit file anywhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Archangel:
Thanks brother i just wanted to make sure it wasnt me LOL,,,hope OP can update the zips and include them if they are still needed.

edit: someone told me that you can extract the pit file from the CSC_VZW_G930VVZW4CRG2_CL13527029_QB19019281_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar, if that is true then cool?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Xxq TZ pxX:
Pit file can be found by googling "HEROQLTE_USA_VZW.pit". I found it here: http://gsm-firmware.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=file&c=download&id=17613

I followed this safestrap guide last night and used that .pit file successfully. Big THANK YOU to the developers who made this possible on such a locked down bootloader.

*Edit: I am experiencing the same issue others have reported where SuperSU seems to have disappeared and my phone does not say CUSTOM/show unlocked icon during boot. Reinstalling SuperSU.apk (as an update) seemed to fix it. It still does not say CUSTOM/show unlocked icon during boot but all root apps seem to be working correctly with SuperSU.

Flashfire and supersu safetynet checker are all in rom control app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Xxq TZ pxX:
Not a huge deal but I am not able to pass the safety net checker.

*edit: nevermind, got it working after a successful unroot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jrkruse:
You have to unroot to pass safetynet

Thanks so much for all of your hard work and continued support here <3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Archangel:
Yeah I found that website too but I didnt want to use it since the web site was labelled "gsm" LOL,,,I just extracted the pit file from the CSC file and all is well. OP might want to let people know this so they dont spend time looking around for a file that used to be included in the zip and is called for as part of the process to flash. I also spent a little bit of time looking for Flashfire and SU only to find them inside of rom control last night LOL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] waingro808:
xxx_FlashSystem.cmd not working. cecho, adb not recognized. Is this a Windows 10 problem?

UPDATE: you can't right click the file and run as admin. Open cmd-here.exe and execute the cmd. Possibly a Windows 10 thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jrkruse:
Just ignore the warning
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] waingro808:
If ignored, nothing will flash. Anyway, I figured it out and have a new problem:

I flashed what I wanted in safestrap (dual speaker mod). Then I followed all unroot instructions. Now, I'm in permanent bootloop and can't access recovery. I can access download mode. Tried flashing BL again, but still in bootloop and no recovery. Any ideas?

UPDATE: Okay, I flashed the AP in the re-root instructions, and then followed all the un-root instructions again. Working. Thanks OP! I'm loving this so far. Debloated should be listed as a feature! Also, confirmed to work with Red Pocket Verizon MVNO.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] billyt1:
This rom runs really smooth. I pulled the vzw_sys.cmds from the cre5 rom and replaced the one in this rom. little more debloated. the only way i was able to get the debloat to stick was to disable authframework and i went ahead and disabled sysScope. i used package disabler pro from playstore only 4 bucks. i then download open gapps pico from their website.I then flashed this rom.After flashing i skiped thru the setup installed root explorer, deleted authframwork and sysScope restarted the phone.I then clicked unroot in rom control, From there i went into safestrap flashed dual speaker,host ad remove,then gapps pico, then debloat script, the aroma didnt work for me just blacked out i used a updater script that i changed around to my likings. once the stock bl file was flashed back I went to recovery wipe data then reboot system. I didnt use flashfire becuase ive had issue with the phone telling me my sd card is corrupt when really it aint after flashing with FF. I did flash open gapps thru FF on my first try at it with no issues without a wipe. Just to say that this phone is lightening quick. It would never run like this full on stock.

Thanks jrkruse very much.

I installed v12, everything is very good. But SuperSU updates binary, does not restart, stop at samsung logo!

Help me pls, many thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jrkruse:
Would you mind explaining who you got supersu to update binaries. The only way you can do this is if you install a different su app other than the one I included in rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] vn72259:
I update binaries succesfull (supersu default of rom) then supersu requires a restart. and my s7 was bootloop.

pls tell me how to fix it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jrkruse:
There is no way to fix this you have to start over and there is no way you updated the supersu binaries with the supersu app that is in rom control so did you install a diferent su app or flash a supersu zip or run a root.bat from older root.zip. I am just trying to understand how you updated the binaries, The supersu app specifically tells you not too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] abyss7:
I can confirm that after a couple of reboots SuperSU allows to update binaries. It causes bootloop, I did not managed to recover without full reflash. Even returning original SuperSU via eng bootloader did not help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jrkruse:
Please explain how you updated the binaries and take a screen shot of it asking you to update the binaries
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] abyss7:
Haha, very cool bug, I wanted to make a screenshot in English for you and switched system language to English it stopped asks for update.

Switched back to Russian and it started to asks for update again. Here is screenshots (in Russian)

There is a choose on second screenshot Normal or TWRP/CWM

Hi to everyone! Guys, I've been trying to go back to Nougat from Oreo with BL version 4 (came with August security patch, bloody hell), but realized the latest Nougat BL is version 3!!! My question might be off topic here but is there any way I could install this ROM on my SM-G930W8 Canadian, FMC region Galaxy S7 flat?!

Main reason: battttttery draaaaaiiin!!!1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jrkruse:
Ok so it only does it in Russian ok that explains it I need to look into that. Anyways as you found out you do not update su binaries. You can do one of 2 things. Ignore it or delete the supersu app. Either way you would still have root just without su app all root access is granted to all request
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] abyss7:
I successfully ignore it, disabled notifications. But I believe you should remove this line from "Root For S7/S7Edge Oreo And Nougat" OP

Because it causes unrecoverable bootloop
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jrkruse:
Will do
