I'm having the same problems as the below post.

Been trying various things for a few days from searching on and off the forums.

These options do not exist on Oreo Sprint Bootloader v8

ro.cdma.default_numeric=310000 to 310120

ro.cdma.default_alpha=Chameleon to Sprint

ro.build.characteristics=Chameleon to Sprint

I have tried using the dialer code ##72786#

Going into phone settings I cannot find another form of activation as suggested in one post.

I have forced all network modes available

Can't unlock APN to add new APN settings.

Can anybody help. Root is there but no Mobile Data, can't make call either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] bodyshop:
Can you please post the Links to how you got the APN to get mobile data working? As of now I have a phone I cannot make calls on.

I looked. That doesn't help because the APNs are greyed out and I can't add new ones.

I tried the MSL: 000000 and it didn't work for my phone.

Are you on v8 G930P Sprint?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] greenrodeo:
Try changing the build.prop settings first, then reboot.

I guess that's it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] bodyshop:
The buildprop settings don't exist on v8 at least not on Sprint G930P.

This one is there: ro.build.characteristics=Chameleon to Sprint

These 2 aren't there:

ro.cdma.default_alpha=Chameleon to Sprint

It seems that the other method involves entering your MSL code, in order to edit the APNs.

Also, everytime I go to flash INIT.d enabler or any init related things. My phone starts spazzing out like 10 minutes after bootup. I then have to clear everything in xbin and su folders. I remember flashing some tweaks a while back. That pretty much messed my phone up, thus reverting back to stock. Is there a way to revert back to the stock system files? thanks.

I'm on latest G930U build G930UUES8CRK2 (from g930p), so do I flash the G930_v8.tar via Odin in the AP slot and then follow the rest of the instructions with the original v12 root file?

Or just use the new v12 zip and follow steps?

I think POGO GPS Spoofer was patched with a Security Update late 2017 or early 2018 (basically allowing apps to see if you're spoofing GPS and not allowing it to open or work - get a can't get GPS error). You can get an old build to previous security update and then use it. I was using an old Galaxy S4 with Magisk and was able too.

Not all the build.prop lines are on every different phone from what I understand. Just edit the ones you do have. You do need to find somewhere you can change that code from 31000 to 310120 if it is in there

Here is a link to how to get the MSL code. You should really just Google this stuff. I did this to find all these answers

galaxy s7 edge sm-g935v stuck on verizon loading screen

hello, so i recently used this method to root my phone and it worked successfully! after spending around 2 hours tinkering with super user and other apps that require root access, i stumbled upon magisk, at the time i did not realise it was another superuser program and proceeded to download the apk file, after finishing installing the apk file, my phone spent the next minute refreshing, as what would happen if for instance you refresh your windows screen and all the icons reloaded, and when trying to access applications it would refresh and kick me out, after 30 more seconds of this the screen froze and was frozen for the next minute untill i used the maintenance key (hold power key and volume down key for 10 seconds) and booted to recovery, afterwards when trying to boot the phone it would stick at the verizon splash screen after the red hello circle. any tips on how to flash stock back to the phone?

Lose root every time I reboot

First I would like to thank everyone for all the hard work they have put into making this root a reality.

I have rooted my sm-g930vl with the latest files in the OP. Everything works great and I have full root access on the first boot. However, the next time I reboot the phone I lose root access. I have scoured this thread, have read until my eyes feel as if they are bleeding and cannot find any reference to others having this problem. I would greatly appreciate any advice and help that can be offered.

Thanks in advance. :confused:

As far as I know you cant use Magisk on a phone that doesnt have an unlocked bootloader. So unless you have a unlocked S7 you cant use Magisk. You will need to use one of the threads here to reload stock using Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Allirion:
Hello,

First of all, thank you for your work ! But, trying to root my S7 today, I ended up soft bricking it. That's quite unfortunate...

The phone is a GALAXY SM-G930V (on nougat) that I flashed with a G930U rom a few month ago in 8.0. I worked very well, but I wanted to have a root access.

I tried the method described in this post to root my phone today. Odin flashed the rom (AP_SM_G930_OREO_ENG_BOOT.tar) successfully but now the phone keeps restarting... I can still access the download mode as well as the recovery mode.

Flashing back to the G930U rom I kept changed nothing (Odin run successfully but the phone keeps restarting anyway), restoring to stock did not work (as the stock rom I got from this post https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039 are in 7.0, and the bootloader does not allow downgrading and throw a SW REV CHECK FAIL error).

Did I miss something ?

So, if you guys could help me to at least restore my phone, and why not root it, I would be immensely grateful !

EDIT : I managed to flash back to the g930u roms ! I was just not paying attention the first time I tried and I must have missed something... Still, I will try to root this again !

EDIT 2 : Root done ! Sorry for this useless post and thank you very much !

However I've noticed some minor issues, like I did a factory reset

After rooting the phone, and now I can't sync my contacts ...anyone has that issue? Also another one I've noticed...I tried to use my Netflix app it told me to update it from the app store ... which I tried but it said the app isn't compatible with my device ?lol not sure what to do... does anyone have any ideas ?

Probably an app that flashes a custom recovery. That's probably it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Allirion:
Nop. I was not able to. Basically, what hapenned is :

I flashed an Oreo 8.0.1 firmware (SM-G930U) on the stock SM-G930V Nougat 7.0 firmware. When trying to root, I flashed the wrong AP file (the nougat one), ending up softbricking the phone.

I tried to go back to the SM-G930U Oreo firmware, but I forgot to flash the bootloader : the Odin process finished but it did not improve my situation... Then I tried to flash the stock firmware but, I could not go back to 7.0 after flashing to 8.0.

Finally, I posted this message, tried everything again. This time without forgetting to flash the Oreo bootloader... The rest of the process was quite straigth forward, as this tutorial is easy to follow if you do not make silly mistakes !

It happened to me as well : I rooted my phone for the first time a few days ago and the sync was ok. I switched to different firmwares just to try, then went back to my previous firmware, re-flashed the root AP image, and this second time the contact did not sync. Not really an issue for me, but it could matter to you.

Just to confirm

hello, i have been reading through the posts on Galaxy S7 Edge, and have come to the conclusion that for my particular model there is no root option. My Phone...

Galaxy S7 Edge

SM-G935P

software version= G935PVPS8CSA1

android version= 8.0.0

Build= R16NW.G935PVPS8CSA1

Security Patch Level= Jan 1st, 2019

Believe I read that bootloader cannot be locked on my version. And that I should sell it and look for International version?

Im sure this answer is in front of my face but wanted to make sure. Thank you so much for any correct replies

It's seriously killing every app and launcher

Edit: the V8 bootloader or Eng Boot is very laggy and advised anyone on V4 to stay away from it, I regretted updating, there's no type of optimization to fix it, homescreen flickers, lags and turns to black screen after 5min of every restart, applied same tweaks that fixed the above issues on V4 bootloader but to no avail, never experienced this kind of issue since rooting any old phones, will be going back to stock until I get S9 SM-G9650 Asian variant & these maybe an end to carrier phones for me, I spent 8hrs at work yesterday without a usable phone and lags & flickers on me to the point that I couldn't access Facebook for more than 3min.

Same here, the phone spazzing out like after every restart started with the V8 bootloader root, I will be staying on stock indefinitely until someone finds a solution to ease the serious heavy lag or homescreen & apps getting killed, screen flickering and turn black.

Edit: Booting into recovery wiping data, cache and factory reset immediately after rooting was the only way to fix the lag, screen flickering and spazzing out.

T-mobile Galaxy S7 SM-G930T v8 baseband

Hi jrkruse,

Thank you for all the hard work, you guys rock. I have T-mobile Galaxy S7 SM-G930T. It is stock 8.0.0 oreo, the baseband is G930TUVS8CRJ1 kernel is 3.18.71-14365146. and build number is R16NW.G930TUVS8CRJ1. It was not rootable for a while but after reading this thread it seems like it is rootable now. I would like to install lineage OS on it and tried many root methods but nothing worked so far, flashing recovery always fails with ODIN.

This thread has lot of information and it is scattered all around, I got confused and didn't have courage to try it on my phone. Can we have a separate thread for just v8 baseband and all the relevant files are also provided at one place. it will also be helpful if you can list down any open issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] SamGuy2020:
He doesn't own an S7 anymore and this basically is the v8 thread since he has a better method for just v4 root and unroot with temporary twrp

Root and unlocking the bootlaoder are not the same thing. You can root and make many sick mods to your device but since you have a locked bootloader you cannot have a custom kernel hence no custom os like lineage. Remember how i just said he has a root method with temporary twrp? It's temporary as in after you reboot it ia gone and if you flash a cuatom os or even try to flash magisk all you will do is soft brick your device since you cannot have a custom boot.img

This root method is made possbile by an a stock samsung engineering kernel/boot.img that's why the bootloader recognizes the kernel but it is also laggy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
Rooted v8 bootloader 2nd day still no lag 0% ,surprisingly and battery life is great so far no difference ,custom kernel settings and entropy is set to lowest , turning off app permissions monitor helps it a lot, notice during root that that app kept force closing

G930p converted to g930u ,and so far no lag on v12 root ,I've tried every root and always have had lag but for once I don't , I choose to tune the kernel instead of having the root set it ,I've also turned down entropy to lowest ,but the one thing I did different than any root was turn off app permissions monitor ,but other than that I'm lag free even on first boot, and battery drain same as stock ,I can even charge my phone and use it without it lagging like stock

It might be your security version because you are not on the latest security patch. I have a g935p that I converted to g935u and I tried rooting on the latest security patch and my lag is outstanding even with root lag fix methods oof. Maybe I might try to root with your security patch version.

There's no way not to have lag without wiping data/factory reset in stock recovery right after rooting, choose the option to reboot to recovery to perform factory reset, it's the last section in the root procedure.

Was it still lagging though?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] slimcyril:
If you root without wiping data/factory reset it must lag cuz that's Engineered kernel boot.img, but choosing the wipe data/factory reset in the last step of rooting helped a lot & I didn't have to disable the App permissions monitor, in other words it's like stock speed with the factory reset.
