[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recover] MaxMarchuk:
Hello, I've just a few questions, hate to bother you but I'd rather ask than somehow hard brick my device.

I am on G935A (CRE4) stock with no root currently.

I would guess I'm on bootloader 4. I remember someone saying that CRE4 is on bl4 and that's why can go back to nougat.

Is there any way I can get root with the old eng kernel + boot method?

If so do I (or rather can I) go back to 7.X (nougat) to get root again?

Also I saw there was another thread for a non rooted version of U firmware which looked like it involved rooting via eng first and then using flash fire to flash a non rooted ROM, could I use that method just to get root and go back to U firmware nougat as well?

Finally is there any way that I could get that eng boot root method to work on 8.0 (CRE4), and if so could I also get Xposed along side it?

Sorry for the huge post. I'm just very frustrated with reading older threads and not knowing if the methods still work on newer updates.

Anyways as a tldr:

I am on G935A CRE4 stock.

I want root. (Don't care if I have to ditch Oreo)

Preferably rooted U firmware if that's even possible.

Xposed along side root for bonus points.

Do I have any hope or should I just try and follow this guide and debloat/get Xposed?

If anyone can help, thanks very much in advance.

Sorry to be a noob, but can you tell me how to install the Google Style zip?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jrkruse:
Put the zip on your phone and follow directions to enter safestrap. Then use safestrap to install the zip

Thanks! Everything is working perfectly.

i cant seem to get passed step 3 on the install list. either itll go through and when i boot into recovery itll show an upload mode error, or it would show a recovery mode but my pc wont show the phone as available adb device.. or itll just straight fail in ODIN. multiple times, multiple cables, multiple ports.. just cant get passed that step 3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mcfisch:
The procedure worked for me, except for the linked debloater - all the crap is still there. However, the phone behaves much more fluid and stable as it did before on a well aged (though up2date) Nougat U-firmware.

A few issues I have found so far:

- some settings are duplicated (home screen, software update)

- the Gmail widget for accessing labels (folders) directly doesn't work (when trying to place it on the home screen it just doesn't appear after selecting the label)

- the new Google app force closes/restarts when trying to create an access code for setting up a 2-factor auth. protected account

- a security code requested by text message for the same purpose does never arrive (texting itself works, so I guess the request never gets sent)

Unfortunately these Google things are mandatory to add my Gmail business account to the device...

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

Update: I was able to at least work around the account issue by adding my tablet as trusted device at the Google 2-factor authentication settings in my Google profile on a PC. This then showed up as a device to prompt for a confirmation on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jrkruse:
Please don't run a debloated then say things dont work without testing before you debloat how do I know the problem isn't the debloater. Just A good rule of thumb. The widget problem could be because this is custom tw launcher. Does your Att wifi calling work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Misslys9:
Im installing the new files my only question is I used the att csc bc I wasnt sure and Im on att so far the whole process is flowing fine but i DIDNT check if it booted before moving on to safestrap so Ill probably find out thru failure but I am sure I am not the only one who had this query. Which csc is the correct csc?

Is the tmo one the correct csc no matter what network?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mcfisch:
There was no debloating at all, all the bloat is still there. However, I reflashed w/o wiping, but the problems still persist. Just the Google security code creator does work now, which might be due to an update from the store.

However, I discovered a way worse issue bugging me right now: the device is unable to replay videos recorded by itself. Once I've sent it through another app, i.e. WhatsApp, they play perfectly fine. If I use another video player like VLC the originals also play fine - so it seems the camera app integrated player has a codec or library issue...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Misslys9:
So I finished installing after I went back and did all 4 files tmo version and pit file vzw and YES the Att wifi calling is working on Cricket wireless so I assume it'll work on postpaid ATT
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jrkruse:
you choose the Odin files with your csc and always use the vzw pit file. Then in the adb install you once again choose your carrier

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recover] JosephXDA1:
So... There is 3 CSC Files in the G935TUVU4CRF1_G935TTMB4CRF1_TMB.zip. If my phone is the S7 Edge At&t variant, would I have to use the CSC_ATT_G935AATT4CRF1 or the CSC_TMB_G935TTMB4CRF1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jrkruse:
Your carriers csc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mcfisch:
Wow, seems I've missed the point and flashed the TMO CSC to my ATT device (at least that would explain the Deutsche Telekom jingle when the boot logo shows up).

Will it wipe data if I just reflash the ATT CSC? Would I need to go through the other steps then again as well? My hope would be that this may solve the video replay issues I have.

What video playback issues?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mcfisch:
This:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mcfisch:
Well, it seems the debloater did work in some way and removed the video player app. Seems I need to go through the entire process again and pay more attention to what the debloater does. Since the system still has so much bloat I thought it didn't work at all, but seems I was wrong on this as well...

Or if one can tell me where it is located originally I'll make myself a flashable zip and put the apk file back where it belongs...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jrkruse:
Or just download it from apk mirror
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mcfisch:
I did, but it is a system package and won't install the regular way without modification.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mcfisch:
Nevermind, I've build a flashable zip with it which did put the downloaded apk into '/system/priv-apps/SamsungVideoPlayer2016'. It fixed the issue, the gallery now plays the videos just fine.

So to rehash everything so far (CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG PLEASE)

-Stock latest Oreo firmware CRF1 with all the security (pay, etc) working but with some custom tweaks (recording, animation, etc)

-Able to get to Safestrap but only through Odin

-Able to flash xposed through Safestrap

-*NO way to root?

Also some questions:

this will work on the AT&T version 100%?

Xposed works without root?? Has anyone tried xprivacy?

edit no** I'm on QJ2 7.0 so I'd have to flash CRE4 first in the "old pre-install" section first then follow directions.

Thank you guys

FYI. I went through the steps again and was able to get it all running properly on ATT. Be sure to follow the preinstall and install steps to a T (i may have goofed or something the first time through). Also, I still have the TMO gingle at boot, but all other sings indicate on the ATT variant of software and am now functional on ATT. Good luck to you!

Just wanted to post a thank you.. I've been struggling with engineering kernels on the S7 Edge for a few years now (Nougat), and performance has always been horrible (did several updates along the way, often marginal improvements but never a solid, snappy UI experience).

I finally bit the bullet and threw this Rom on the phone, and its amazing.. I actually have a working, S7 Edge that is rooted, and doesn't have UI lag 75% of the time (very smooth for me so far).

Thank you so much for providing this. Hugely appreciated.

update

So from what I noticed the CFR1 boot is eventually replaced with the google pixel boot animation, so you shouldn't have any worries there. It did work, but I personally had to go back to stock because the apps I use were being triggered by the google SatefyNet API that looks for rooted and unauthentic ROMs. But it loaded and installed everything just fine, just couldn't get some of the apps I use the phone for to work because of SafetyNet.

I'm unable to find any CRE1 or the like number in my system info (I'm sure it would be quite different since I'm not on Oreo)

There is no available system update for me either, perhaps because I'm on Cricket?

Not exactly sure where to start to update my phone in order to get it ready to flash this rom.

So my recommendation to anyone using s7 edge is flash the U firmware and then download the cricket Visual Voicemail and cricket app to get your services offered. I have not tried root as of yet but other s7 edge users confirmed this works.

Hey bro, I have the $60 unlimited plan with Cricket. And one time I was using the hotspot in the U firmware and I got a warning message from cricket saying that I wasn't supposed to be using hotspot, and if i kept using it, my account was going to be terminated.

So since you have the 5Gb plan, are you allowed to use hotspot without being warned?

Thanks for your response. I appreciate your time and will make a donation to the cause when finished now. I'm ready to take the next step which is to take your advice and use Extreme Aroma based debloater that you link to but the immediate problem I see is that he mentions using Titanium backup to remove a couple apps and test that your system has the ability to remove system apps. Titanium backup says it needs root access in the play store, so it appears the whole debloater is based on a rooted phone which at this point I do not have and do not want...Unless of course I can unroot quickly and easily without installing another ROM and wiping everything out I just did. There is my confusion. Installing this ROM did not give me root access but your recommendation appears that I need to root but it is never mentioned. Or am I just off my rocker and medication?

Fused 8 > Binary 4 in Preinstall Steps

Hi,

I am following your instructions for my AT&T S7 Edge G935A and have not been able to get past the preinstall steps.

My phone is currently bricked so I cannot double check, but I am confident that it was running Android 8.0 (Oreo) in developer mode with OEM unlocked.

After downloading the ODIN_ADB_..._ALL_CARRIERS_V3 to run Odin and using the files from G935TUVU4CRF1_..._TMB, I receive a failure message in Odin with my phonesaying:

SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 8 > Binary 4

Any advice on what I can do? The only other context I can provide is I am trying to eventually install Lineage OS on it but following their instructions failed as well (didnt brick the phone though). A couple searches online suggest that ATT/VZW make it difficult to do that and the recommendation is to install safestrap first which is how i got here!

Thank you!

Yeah, I hit 32% on an ATT phone and it errors out every time. I'm frustrated enough right now to trash the phone and just buy another one.

So in my unending wisdom whilst drunk I used an app off the store to reset my phone to factory (I know, what was I thinking?) and have been left with the phone stuck in bootloop.

I can get into EMUI but my only options are Reboot, Shutdown and Download latest version and recovery - I can select that and select my WIFI, but when trying to restore/download anything it fails.

Out of some of the guides I have (tried) to follow I've found the Update.zip I think I need, extracted and then I need to move the update.app to the SD card? However I can't do this as the Update.app file is over 4GB

Hey, I'm probably doing something wrong and missing something obvious, but I can't seem to get it to work. Am I missing something.

I set my DNS to 81.177.139.39

I had to use the Windows 10 hot-spot feature to do this as my router will not allow DNS change.

Then opened up Firmware finder, searched for the firmware for my model and copied it

Pasted it in to the Firmware for install bar, clicked set then Register for update.

Wnet into erocovery on my phone, selected the hot-spot I had changed the DNS for and clicked update.

It started saying "getting package info from server" did that for about 5 minutes then went straight to "getting package info failed"

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] DallasCZ:
I think you have to set the DNS to the router.

You can still try many debrick methods that are describet here in forums.

Do you really know that you are in bootloop? After factory reset the device could bootup about 5 minutes.

Yeah maybe the router is the problem. Well the phone tries to boot up, then shuts off and boots again but the second time boots directly into EMUI
