I tried 2 apps with no luck, I am getting an error saying that the camera is being used by another app! I tried to go to the apps permission and disabled all Camera permission for all the apps but not the camera app, and still get the same error. I also cannot use flash/torch, it says the flash is being used by another app. Not sure what is happening here.

So I can flash the kernel just fine. But when I install SuperSU with the root.bat and update the binary, when the phone reboots, I am prompted with a black warning screen that tells me the system can't verify the software and I have to factory reset to fix it. However if I install the provided SuperSU like a regular app, the binary updates no problem. I'm also given the same warning screen after trying to install it as a system app. I have the same problem installing Xposed.

What works what not

Hi

I really appreciate your work. I have a G930P Sprint Oreo phone. It is my primary phone.

Is everything working now on a rooted phone , so I can take the plunge and root?

Or do I have to go through all the posts to find out....

My main reason to root is bloatware, AND battery life.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] SamGuy2020:
Eng kernel will not be good for your battery and if you don't know or dont have use for root you should look into OP'ers other post on Sprint S7 forums

[MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] are there are plans to release a version of your ROM on oreo? :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Efraimjb:
You got me totally confused now:confused:

You posted a link where JKRUSE writes

"This Is For Sprint S7 Only.

This Is Not A Root Method For Oreo. There Currently Is No Root Method For Oreo ."

But in the first post of this thread he writes that root has been achieved for S7 oreo.

Now you are writing linking me back to the first post.

Can you please clarify

BTW I did root my phone always up to Nougat. But I lost it when I upgraded to Oreo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] DragonFire1024:
ok so heres a better explanation of my problem. Flash the eng kernel no problem. Root.bat to install SuperSU, no problem. Update SU binary, device reboots, then I get a black screen saying verification failed, please factory reset. Same when I install Xposed or run any debloat scripts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
Just curious if you are flashing the latest root then how are you getting the supersu binaries to update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] DragonFire1024:
The binary updates because after the forced factory reset, all I have to do is install the SuperSu app like normal. So it actually installs the binary but the phone locks me out upon reboot. If I delete too much bloat, and reboot, the device again forces me to do a reset. I try to install Xposed, same thing happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
The supersu app is installed as a system app so why are you installing a different one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Maxissc:
What do u mean with modded? :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] DragonFire1024:
Never mind. I didn't realize I was on v6 and not the latest in your OP, v10. All is well now.

We all know method to modify oreo firmwares like this https://xdaforums.com/verizon-s7-edge/development/rom-t3751151

Inspired by this I implemented customization for Russia/Ukraine based on original SER/SEK with some useful features, Like Call Recording, VoLTE/WFC for local carriers and others.

Also U firmware installs some applications in userdata, It is possible to install them to system to not loose them on data wipe.

Another member of our forum translated some system apps/settings to Russian language (actually ported it from G9300/G9350)

We combined everything and got what is called "patch" to adapt phone to Russian networks.

Everything above actually does not matter, just matter that dm-verity key is reset and "Successfully verified dmverity hash tree" with root installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
Sorry but you are not getting root with a stock boot.img. It will still be there but it won't work without eng boot.img
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] abyss7:
I know, but I have a feeling that after "trick with dm-verity" it works a bit more stable. May be I'm wrong and it is just auto-suggestion.

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

On a G930T and root went smoothly. That was easier than my Note 8's root. Thanks for the hard work its much appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] DragonFire1024:
Everything works except for one thing, but doesn't seem to be a problem aside from constant notifications. "SuperSu binary cannot be updated with this type of root. Do not try to flash SuperSu in recovery or any other way."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] klabit87:
Turn off notifications for that app. You'll still get requests for root and toast notifications.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] lastSamPhoneEver:
I just started completely fresh to migrate to V10, but now without making any other changes, I'm having the same issue I was having before where I am constantly bombarded with notifications that an app has stopped/crashed in the background, and it's driving me nuts, interrupting everything. Is there a way to suppress these messages? I really couldn't care less that "calendar has stopped" in the background.

Cope/ Paste Bug

Wonder why [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] does not address the "Copy & Paste Bug", other than him apparently beingthe only one not having that problem!? C'mon....lag & battery problems are part of a root - at least in this one - but copy & paste is fixable by jrkruse. Sorry, but I do not have the know-how, so....It is MAJOR, Mr. Kruse! Please address the issue...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] klabit87:
When neither of us have had the issue on or devices we can't troubleshoot the issue.

What would be helpful is if someone could provide a log when you try to copy and paste and it not work.

Also specific steps to reproduce the issue.

Something like this will need to be very specific. Like which website or app what type of text field and what app or site are you copying to.

Telling a dev "it broke. Fix now" won't really help if we can't reproduce it on our devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] axel06:
Copy & Paste

1- It's all over this thread where folks list the copy/ paste bug (search "paste" in this thread via 1st page search option)

2- My Galaxy S7 is g-930t T-Mobile- Everything working other than copy/ paste, lag, battery drain...

3- It is a bug in any & all apps: browser, email apps, messenger, texts, you name it. It appears to copy, but never paste.

4- I found the only work around is pasting via "Share" - then it pastes just fine, but...share cannot be applied to all !

5- There is no error message, just nothing pasting = no log available that I know off.

I can send you my phone, if [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] would like to help us...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] klabit87:
I am aware the copy paste bug has been mentioned multiple times.

I do not need your phone and if you don't know how to get a logcat maybe someone that does know how will chime in.

Until then there is no possible way of knowing what is causing the issue which in turn means there is no way of knowing what needs to be done to fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] biikman:
Im sure you realize that the dev's have lives to, and don't sit in front of the computer waiting to pounce on any bug report. A response that doesn't meet your timeliness does not mean it is being ignored. JR has always responded to bugs and questions as fast as he is able.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
For people having copy and paste bug. Try this. Use a file manager with root access and go to data/clipboard and delete the clipboard folder and reboot phone and let me know if that works
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] gadget!:
My personal opinion on the copy and past issue is that it's not a [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] issue.

I believe it is an Oreo security issue.

I've done a lot of research on the issue and found a lot of people having the issue with Oreo that aren't even rooted.

I find it highly disrespectful for people to come in here and start bad mouthing the people that spend many hours of their personal time working on this and continuously providing updates to improve on what they have already done.

How do I flash OREO_VOLTE_ICON_HOTSPOT_FIX.zip?

Use Flashfire? Just flash it or I have to mount system as well?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Innieway:
1. After Flash Fire loads click "actions" tab

2. Click the + button

3. Choose "OTA or Zip"

4. Navigate to the storage location at top of screen in FlashFire

5. Choose ZIP

6. Click "Mount system" then click checkmark at top right of screen

7. Repeat for multiple Zips

8. Add a "wipe" and UNtick everything except Dalvic cache

9. Scroll to bottom and tap lightning bolt. Then allow if any warnings pop up.

10. BE PATIENT. The first boot up cycle will take quite a while. So do yourself a favor and find something to do for 15 or 20 minutes because if you sit and stare at your phone you will be tempted to try to make it reboot or something, and then you might be starting all over from Odin flashing firmware. Always add a Dalvic wipe to the end of flashing zips, and don't try more than 3 "small" zips in one go, or 1 major one like V4A and you should be fine

[MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION], why the engineering kernel isn't overclocked while it's a custom one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] fulham:
Thanks a lot Innieway for the detailed instructions.

I don't have no. 9 above (lightning bolt) available to choose. Something wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] klabit87:
Because it's not a custom kernel. It's a leaked official Samsung kernel technically made for the SM-G930A/SM-G935A models for Oreo.

Nougat eng kernels are T models. But they all work the same because of the hardware bring the exact same for all variants except for exynos.

All of the eng kernels that are around and available are officially signed by Samsung.

I mean I could make one and could try it but it won't work without Samsung's signature.

Only way custom kernels can be possible is with an unlocked bootloader.

yall must be doing something wrong i never had a copy paste issue yet with oreo and im flashing and breaking my phone all day actually i cant figure it out yet but i always delete something that braks my messaging app and all i have is copy and paste to send a message lolol

Just rooted S7 935V (with jrkruse crg2 oreo hybrid rom) with S7_Oreo_Su_Binary_Only_ADB_Root.zip and added flashfire and supersu apks from S7_Oreo_Nougat_Adb_Advanced_Root_V10.zip and copy paste its working perfectly, everything works as intended. I assume the copy paste bug may appear when deleting knox files or changing dm-verity or system file encryption.

the issue is always the same, after flashing oreo (crg2/3) via odin copy/paste works perfectly, after flashing eng kernel still does. but after rooting with v10 it stops working.

this is the workaround i've come to and everything seems to be working good so far

1)root with S7_Oreo_Su_Binary_Only_ADB_Root.zip

2)push supersu.apk from op to system

3)don't update su binaries

4)if flashfire closes change date to 2012 and it won't close

i dont know the consequences of keeping knox and stock fstab.qcom but phone doesnt sem to bother. I also haven't tested yet how battery life is
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] biikman:

Either try to copy and paste a couple of whatsapp messages or enter any web page and copy some text and try to paste it on the search bar or as a new sms

The issue seems to happen when you have no edit capabilities over the text you want to copy

Download Samsung's browser and try copy and paste on web page and I bet it works. This might be why I don't have a problem I don't use chrome
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Maxissc:
i'm now bugfree after doing this

but as soon as i've my phone completely restored i'll make a backup and try that

Anyways, i could live with the share to messaging workaround for chrome and those apps. The main problem is with whatsapp, where you dont have the share option for selected messages

I'd also like to know your opinion [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] about that way of rooting

FOR THOSE WITH LAG ISSUES:

I was well aware of the lag issues that came with using the eng kernel, but it got to the point even with all the tweaks & mods (L-speed, kernel auditor, etc.) I was still experiencing severe lag (mainly doing things like listening to music and using snapchat at the same time, phone became unusable with alot of hangs and freezes!)I was just about to flash back to stock oreo because I felt that the trade off of Root for lag wasn't balanced.

But then I remembered seeing a post in one of these threads...might've been during Nougat days or more recent oreo, I do not remember, either way, flashing the stock BL in odin would fix lag completely. I was willing to give it a shot mainly because I was going to go back to stock anyway if it didn't work and to my surprise the phone booted! After everything settled after boot, I already noticed the difference, it was substantial!

Now, if you have already fixed your lag issues by other means then you don't need to read this post! but for some that still have tried everything and you still experience extreme lag, these are the steps I took to fix mine:

1. Was rooted on [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] [Rom][ALL_CARRIERS_CRG2][Stock_Oreo_Hybrid] ( the lastest one which is CRG2) -------> this is the only rom I can say this works on as I have only tried it on this rom

2. Assuming you are already running his rom and not stock oreo (if you are running stock oreo then I cannot say if this will work for you or not, I would suggest going to his rom)

3. In his OP in, [Rom][ALL_CARRIERS_CRG2][Stock_Oreo_Hybrid], download the odin files (SM-G935U_G935UUEU4CRG2.zip)

4. Extract it and find the file [BL_G935UUEU4CRG2]

5. reboot your phone into download mode and flash the stock BL

NOTE: By the time I did this I was already on [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] CRG2 ROM and already rooted, so I suggest the same to avoid any unseen complication! Flash the rom using his instructions, root using his rooting guide (this OP) and then try this

This worked for me great! I can say that the phone is running VERY close to stock speeds and I have not noticed a single stutter or framedrops, I even tried remaking the same situation that would cause the phone to freeze and the phone did perfectly after doing this!

Let me know if this has worked for anyone else!

Edit:

This is also fixed my heating issues as well, the phone does not get extremely hot anymore

Edit 2:

along with this fix, I have L-speed set to 'Performance' profile and governor set to interactive, no other tweaks

Tried flash boot.img from stock in AP slot but got into boot loop. So flashed eng boot again and phone booted normally. I do not wann flash stock files as that will override csc n some other files making volte to not work.

What are steps to make it like stock leaving csc? Do I need to flash BL instead of boot.img?

Any help is appreciated.!! Thanks!!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] FusionX:
I'm moving from Nougat hybrid rom to [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] 's Oreo ROM tomorrow. I intend to root nougat, perform a backup with TB and then flash the non-rooted Oreo ROM.

I'd like to root using this method to restore my backups but then unroot. Is there a preferred method of unrooting after using this method? I'd like to keep the ability to pass safetynet and use SamsungPay. Any advice is appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] gwilly3301:
Probably not, because with nougat (im assuming you're running jrkruse BRA1 ROM) there is not an eng bootloader you have to flash.

With his latest Oreo ROM when installing you have to flash [BL_ENG_BOOTLOADERS_G935.tar] there isn't with Nougat and with the fix that I posted you are replacing this with a stock oreo BL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] FusionX:
With your method, does the phone remain rooted and when it reboots is it in "custom" mode? Does samsung pay work for you? Does it pass safety net? I'm guessing not but would like to know before taking doing this myself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] DragonFire1024:
If my developer settings is telling the truth about my bootloader being unlocked, then we'll have something much better very soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] gwilly3301:
Yes you maintain root with this this fix, and as being rooted, samsung pay will not work and No the device does not pass safety net just like before! In my case, I do not have the "custom" lock in on the boot screen but I know some cases are different! I suggest giving it a shot, it is worth it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] sylikc:
Lol that's just the OEM unlock. I think the description changed. I'm still on Nougat and it says "Allow the device to be OEM unlocked". it's just for not having to use a google account to use the device...

though it is interesting that they changed the text...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] FusionX:
Might as well, I just finished getting the Oreo rom running. I only want to root so I can restore some app data with Titanium, then I want to fully unroot so I can use samsung pay... Won't lose much but time trying it now. Maybe loading the stock BL after removing the su.img, etc will do the trick.
