No problem. Sorry we were unsuccessful. Maybe it will work someday.

My s7 flat is bricked as well. the Device Root Key is corrupt and will not longer boot.

I got it to boot once on the latest eng kernel but one reboot and it broke lol. alwell
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] AkiraPerera04:
Ok. Its fine now. I just cleared everything in xbin and su.d. Works fine now. To prevent that from happening could you baby step tell me what to do? Like, what files to flash in what order. Sorry about my stupidity, but I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Okay, so what do I do with this solution installer? What does it do? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Leone/kyleproxx:
Their are 3 bat files in the solution installer. App solution, app solution extreme, and Eng solution. Eng solution will partly fix lag and heat on root and app solution will delete bloat and the second one is the extreme version of it. I suggest not to use extreme because it breaks developer options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] AkiraPerera04:
Okay cool. Are there any requirements? Like, init.d, root and such. I have v8 rooted s7 edge. You're sure it'll work? No bricking or stuff? Is it possible to do this on my phone. Since my PC isn't running well? So, I should do the, app solution and eng solution correct? Thanks.

first root attempt

I have been looking for a complete tutorial with current downloads for a while so first id like to thank you for that. second this is my first boot so I need to know what you mean when you say it will not work with the v8 boot loader, how do i know what boot loader i have and if its v8 can it be changed? (my device is a s7 SM-G930A) also step 3 "Use Odin and flash the Eng Boot Image for your

phone" i need to know what slot to put the image theres 4 slots and agen i have never used odin before.

Sorry for the confusion.

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 PM ----------

If I'm meant to do both. Do they actually make a difference? As, I tried seeder, Gov Tuner, l speed, greenify and a bunch of other things. But there's still an insane amount of lag and heat. Will this actually make a difference?? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] samikhan2424:
Thx i wanted to know what my bootloader version was

And sorry for the confusion
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Leone/kyleproxx:
Eng solution is actually the one that partially fixed lag but yes it makes a HUGE difference. Their will still be lag but it will be less noticeable. If you can go to Odin and reflash the bootloader firmware file for you current firmware in the BL slot in Odin nothing else. I've seen people who did this and ALL their lag was gone. I don't know if it will work for you though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] AkiraPerera04:
Okay cool. What do you mean by reflate? Also how come govtuner, seeder, sefix, greenify and l speed. How come they don't work? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Leone/kyleproxx:
I edited it, its actually reflash, and I forgot but [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] explained it somewhere, the only one that I use is lspeed because it sorta works but use all the root fixes first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] AkiraPerera04:
Okay cool. So what's the procedure? Where do I start. Like a said, baby steps. I CBA to mess up my phone further lol. I've literally flashed to stock like 100 times. Did this make a difference for your s7 edge on v8 root? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Leone/kyleproxx:
Diffinetly, my performance is really close to stock performance. Their are some slight hiccups here and their but my performance and battery life are pretty good. For your current firmware do you have the firmware files for it on a PC or laptop somewhere?

[/COLOR [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] You guys are kinda making me confused. You both release eng root for bootloader 8 on your androidfilehost but both of the image file sizes are different. Are they both the same thing and do the same thing or Is their a difference. [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] yours is 16mb and [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] is 21mb

I'm not sure about the confusion. But the ones I linked in this thread work so I'll be leaving mine uploaded.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Leone/kyleproxx:
Just flash the BL file in the BL file in Odin and that should partly fix lag as well. It might not though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
I tried all of them when I was using hybrid all I had was a few reboots , then flashed something wrong, then went back to cre4 and tried all reboots but came up with errors besides systemless root just wasn't able to flash xposed in the end I'm thinking system partition wasn't being mounted as r/w as when I would flash using flashfire it just rebooted after loading the black and white loader screen ,which versions have been successfully flashed ,v2 systemless root works good with xposed on hybrid rom but not stick cre4 rom just the root worked ,magisk also didn't work properly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] sylikc:
Ok. Whew finally caught up with all the posts. Great job getting root in an easy installable way for us mere mortals!

I'll have to try testing it on the hybrid ROM. Has it been tested on both stock and hybrid? I'm assuming [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] tested it with his hybrid, right?

I'm going to see if I can test this later this week.

From what I've read, will do hybrid ROM, v4 root system, volte fix, xposed, profit?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Judge502:
Install systemless root, then selinux permissive apk, followed by the latest busybox to /sbin, older busybox to system/sbin or xbin. I did all 3. Then wipe cache. Reboot. Uninstall all bloatware (be safe). Using xposed installer 3.15, install latest xposed (90.3 I think). When you reboot the phone won't go past att logo. A new message will tell u about unauthorized crap. If you reset it will keep happening. I reflashed stock boot.img. wouldn't boot. Reflashed eng.img, followed by multiple factory data reset. Reflash, reset over & over. It booted. I rooted it with systemless 2 be safe. All the bloatware was still gone & when I installed xposed 3.15 apk, it was already active. I almost softbricked using gravity box & flat status icon modules. System ui kept closing. Make sure the battery is charged. Mine was dead that may have been some of the issue. But that's how I installed xposed system framework. Been working great all day, I'm only using firefds, greenify, 3c. Kinda nervous installing mods for the first time. I'd hate to have to Odin back to stock att cre4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] DMon04:
Hey everybody,got the 8.0 rooted while at work. Just flashed V4A through flashfire. The V4A apk was installed to /system/priv-app. Went into V4A and it asked me to install the driver. I hit yes to install and it said successful and to reboot my device. I did so and the phone boot-looped once and finally got back to home screen. Went into V4A and checked driver status and it says it's not installed and V4A is not working. Just giving an update on MY progress with it on 8.0. Also downloaded SELinux Mode Changer App and it did let me successfully change SELinux to permissive.

In thinking oreo uses a different method than music fx as standard ,or we aren't really getting r/w
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Gregbmil1:
I will try that in about an hour or so. Ok, so that debloat script I flashed really messed things up. After a factory reset Busy Box and the Play Store where still crashing. I ended up having to Odin things back to stock then re-rooting. Once that was all said and done, I flashed the Dolby Atoms zip. I hate to say that I have myself a bootloop to deal with now.

I'm new to Flashfire though so it may be an opperater error, lol. I flashed it by itself, I chose "FLash Zip or OTA" then checked "Mount Write/Rewrite" only.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] DMon04:
I used SELinux Mode changer to change everything to permissive before trying to flash as well. I've tried flashing it with flashfire several different ways with no success.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
Has anyone tried the hybrid version and used safestrap to flash anything and only use su as a way to run apps with root permissions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] MrWhite0429:
So this does in fact wipe data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Gregbmil1:
One of the awesome things about this is that it doesn't wipe data. The wiping data part comes in as so as you flash something that has the slightest bit of uncompatibility, lol. At least in my case. I'm also new to Flashfire though. Trail and error seems to be my go to method :D

Side note, if anyone gets Xposed working on this or has it on different phone, there is a really cool module called "Perfect ColorBars" that I just came across. It works very well with S8

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
V5 is up in the Op with redone root.bat. Systemless root is gone if you flashed it I suggest reflashing oreo firmware and rerooting with V5 from the OP.

I added init.d support via su.d. with some init.d tweaks if you dont want them delete the ones you dont want from the su.d folder. I have the root bat now install the secure storage bypass lib files so if you use xposed there will not be a BT paring problem or Wifi password problem. I updated the Su files on the system root to full SR5 2.82 SuperSu. For lag I highly recommend this app sEFix from the playstore. set it to high and watch the lag go away

What do you mean the exact same flash file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] AkiraPerera04:
The file which I flashed AP, BL and such. My phones firmware. The BL file from that right? If so, how would that fix lag?

If this helps, [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] also released eng root with a different file size and is renamed so you will know where to use it. You will flash the eng root at the beginning in the AP alot then follow the rest of the instructions that are located on the first post in the v11 eng root file.

It's this thread right here and their is a link on the first page to the v11 file and download it. Go to Jrkruse android file host and he just release and eng boot for bootloader 8 and flash that in the AP slot.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but where exactly do I see which version boot loader i have?

My wife just got another S7 and its already on Oreo.

I want to root it for her but need to know which files to use and it appears there are different files based on which boot loader you have (v6 v8 etc).

Thanks in advance...

PS Hers is RK2 firmware, G930P on Sprint. Hopefully it can still be rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] SamGuy2020:
Pic just for reference(different phone but the way to tell is the same)

Go to settings>about phone>software information

If the 5th number from the end of the baseband version(mine is 3 see where the red dot is) is anything above 4, you can't root your phone ever

By RK2 you probably mean CRK2 or 8CRK2 which is the latest official firmware so there is your answer.

OK guys I'm a little stumped here, I lost most of my APNs after rooting with this guide, and I don't have the option to add new APNs or edit the remaining ones. Here's what I'm working with:

S7 Edge on Sprint SM-G935P

Android 8.0.0

Baseband 8

Current software is G935PVPS8CRK1

This is an older phone that I've just been using on Wifi and I had it successfully rooted through this post, but I found a deal over at Tello for $5 that gives me a new number, that's when I found out all the APNs were missing except 3. I ended up wiping cache/factory reset/flashing a stock ROM from updato.com to get back to square one. At that point, the Tello number worked, I didn't have to change anything in the APN settings. Then I used the V8 ROM from page 129/130 and ran through the whole process on page 1 start-to-finish. Now I'm rooted again...but APNs are gone except for the same 3 and I'm back to just wifi. So far I've tried using a root explorer to search for a file with the APN settings and edit that manually, I found a file in /system/etc called apns-conf.xml and I added Sprint APN settings to that matching the others that were listed. I also found a slightly older post talking about editing the buildprop to give you a button to add APNs, but neither of those have worked. Screenshot shows the APNs that I'm stuck with right now, everything is grayed out. Has anyone else dealt with something like this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
Change to u firmware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] greenrodeo:
No need to change firmware. I just rooted last week and lost APNs also on 930p. There is a solution involving using build.prop to change "chameleon" to "sprint" and a few other small changes. Search this forum or wait until later when I get home and can find the links
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] greenrodeo:
Read the post in this thread from Godpowerrr. Then search some of his other posts to see more information. Basically create a new APN as he describes, then, change the build.prop settings he has and reboot
