If you don't read and answer the below questions we are going to get no where

Note there are 4 different carriers with 4 different firmwares which I made modified stock roms with safestrap installed with other file changes for each one of those. Then add on top of that each on of the above scenario have 2 options edge or flat on top of that. Now the ufirm is out. So all I am asking for is your setup. For example. I am running G930CRF1 rom with safestrap installed on Verizon phone. I rooted using what version of root you used. I chose to leave or uninstall safestrap during root process. I did or did not install xposed. I have or have not deleted apps and I have or have not tried to factory reset
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] slimcyril:
I didn't use any of your roms & don't know where to find it, I m coming straight from stock without any modifications by u just rooted with the V4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
Ok well v6 is the latest root zip. You didn't tell me your carrier but from looking at the picture I presume Verizon are you flat or edge? In picture you have kernel auditor installed you didn't mention that. Here is my suggestion. Download v6 root zip from OP reflash your stock firmware reroot with the v6 root zip. Don't install anything else and report back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] slimcyril:
Ok will do that & report back

I m on Verizon flat
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] MrWhite0429:
Just rooted my 935A. Worked great. System is settling now. Only thing that didnt work for me was the VoLTE fix. I flashed in flashfire and it didnt seem to stick after reboot. Thanks again for all of your hard work guys.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] slimcyril:
However all these tweaks are in my init.d folder, works well on nougat, please review them?

Edit: also ran the 3G Turbocharger script by zeppelinrox, that's pretty much it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
Did you choose too mount system when flashfire asks?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
See what I mean all the sudden you went from I have no mods installed to oh ya I have over 30 installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] slimcyril:
I have those mods installed in Nougat & they improved the device a lot, it did improve performance on Oreo the only issue is the low wifi and data supply.

Edit: the scripts in init.d weren't wifi or data related, could the 3G Turbocharger be the culprit?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
Then how is it I'm having so much trouble with root ,when I used the tmobile hybrid rom , xposed and safestrap was working flawlessly , and then i rooted with v2,everything worked but only had some boot loops on restarts ,I like the u firmware, but maybe we need safestrap and su to work together maybe , or do they conflict we each other as I have seen you are removing it through root.bat. I can't pull any logcats as it keeps going to verification failed , but when it does it ,it seems like my data already got wiped because of xposed ,my volume for ringer is up and I leave it on vibrate always
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] klabit87:
Pulling a logcat is how I found the issue with verification failure. When you have a verification failure, let it go into recovery and factory reset/wipe data and cache then reboot. That's how I got back up and running after installing Xposed. Then I installed SuperSU from jrkruse and the Xposed app.

The Xposed app will say not active do just reboot and it will be active.

I was still rooted and still had Xposed framework installed. No problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
The firmware I am running ,stock,then I flash the g930 eng boot v6,options - 2 - s7 oreo root,1- install root no tweaks ,1- install supersu root, 2- don't have safe strap , then after reboot , I set su to grant permissions,allow su on boot ,and enable su pro ,also updates su binary instantly after first open su or I can't use, then I do delete system apps/bloatware,which I know for sure shouldn't effect the integrity of the system as I have done it the same with every root and system ,as soon as I install xposed through flashfire is when I get problems , I was able to flash dual speaker mode no problems ,but while rooted started getting data and wifi issues , with and with out lspeed and kernel adutior
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] slimcyril:
Same issue here, however I didn't install xposed but still facing the wifi and data low supply
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
Basically you just started over the same as flashing the system over ,the only thing is you still have the eng boot installed ,yes that resetting your phone will fix it but will happen again tried it , I'm trying to figure a way out so I don't have to lose data on internal sd, or have to resetup my phone again ,as we don't have a recovery to backup like other phone which makes it simple ,with Samsung they give a 30 min setup along with Google then have to redownload everything and do it again , we need to find the bugs and create a stable root. For some reason it works for some great and for some not so much

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

If you have the logcat you need to show jkruse

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

The wifi and data issues I believe are in the kernel settings something not being set or something being set that shouldn't, as there is an option in lspeed that allows for TCP to be big or small ,which I think is how much incoming and out going data is being sent and used ,when it is small my downloads take longer ,when big its maximum speed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] klabit87:
Lol no. It is not the same as reflashing system as the system is not touched.

The reason for mixed issues is because so many assume that nougat tweaks and mods will work on Oreo with no issues. The main thing to keep in mind is before you load it down with app or whatnot just setup your phone how you prefer then install your apps.

True you do not have a recovery to backup with but you have an SD slot and a computer that can be used.

Root on a locked bootloader will have some issues. Some of which you'll have to decide whether it's worth having.

Also.... Please don't discredit me lol.

I can read a logcat, dmesg, and kmsg.

I discuss the issues with jrkruse and we find solutions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
I also have been reading that security patches have been causing xposed problems
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
No your issue was you have over 30 init.d tweaks installed that you have no clue what they were doing. And you were on older root zip that had some scripts in I since removed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
I'm not trying to discredit you just haven't seen you on the forum yet, and jkruse is the main guy helping everyone and creating this all the help is necessary, and so far all the tweaks and apps I've placed have been successfully working with previous hybrid rom , that's why my settings are basic as It is a newer system ,just root has been an issue the most either I have to keep root or just keep xposed until someone can find a fix for those like I that are having issues also with factory wipe you never lose the system just what's on the internal sdcard, it goes back to stock, so I'm still trying to figure out if it is possible to use the hybrid install instructions with u firmware instead of tmobile and then root after it this is possible and use su for grant root and safestrap for flashing as it was the working better then it is now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] slimcyril:
Please I need your advice

Which of the init.d tweaks should be yanked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] billyt1:
I did the hybrid from with uware . I still had to use crf1 bootloader to get it to boot not crg2 uware bootloader . Runs good

I work with [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] behind the scenes. Let's just say he is one of my main go to guys when I have a question. I was stumped on root and he found the problem and got me on the right path. So if he takes the time too comment I suggest you might take note
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
So what can we do to fix this my device is a dialy driver but don't mind testing especially how much I hate Samsung and the stupid Knox, so [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] what ideas you have or what method should I follow to re root as it has been unsuccessful, or what info do you need from me on how I've rooted ,definitely want to see root and xposed working together again on this device , as I have seen it working already
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] klabit87:
I tested all of this in this order with stock CRE5 on Verizon flat s7

Backup all data you wish to keep. Either to sdcard or or computer.

Root with system method using SuperSU.

Install Xposed using the app itself. Not the flashable zip and flashfire.

When verification fails, allow it to go to recovery and factory reset/wipe data and cache and reboot to system.

Install the SuperSU apk that's in jrkruse root zip.

Install Xposed app again and open it.

Then reboot.

Once everything is verified to be in working order (root and Xposed) then you can look into tweaks that you wish to incorporate.

Once you feel you have it stable and won't be doing much system altering flashing then I would restore your data and apps.

Please let us know how it goes.

We just want to nail down a process so that it can become a norm instead of so many different ways going on and no way to figure out what caused what.

Thanks [emoji106]

Also I know it's a slow process but it's all worth it once things get stable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] SamGuy2020:
Oh my gosh 7 freakin days ago! I can't believe i missed this been to busy focusing on the S8 since wife has my S7 right now... Kind of a good thing though because she has no reason for most stock features of s8 or any root i even bought her a cute pink case for the s7 to distract her while i take over the s8 again and patiently wait for root. You guys are awesome thank you ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mario6714:
i cant root, i am using G930UUEU4CRG2 sprint, any help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Cloud.Envy:
[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION], have you seen this post? I've tried it and it seems to work perfectly. If it differs any from the stock performance, I can't tell.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] FatalONEM8:
I'm truly hoping for an S8 Oreo root as well, these guys are truly amazing!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
Looks like it rooted to me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mario6714:
Really?

and sorry for my bad english , maybe is just a bad translation from me in the last part

Thanks

get another error, say about encryption device cant boot and i need format
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] klabit87:
Boot to recovery and factory reset/wipe data and wipe cache

Then reboot. all will be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mario6714:
another question, in the and the root.bat ask for 1: remove saftrap or 2: keep safetrap i choice the 2 is correct?

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

ok, for the moment all correct

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] klabit87:
I'm not sure about safestrap. I haven't tested it on Oreo yet.

If you want to install Xposed you will need to factory reset and wipe data/cache again.

But Xposed framework will still be there as well as root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mario6714:
any solution for this?

Safety notice detected unauthorized actions

i am sorry for my bad english

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------

how can install xposed? using safetrap or another app?

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

i try
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] klabit87:
Just clear the notification.

Install Xposed with the Xposed app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] billyt1:
I flashed xposed thru xposed app than entered safestrap wipe dalvik cache then follow procedure to exit safestrap. After you flash the crf1 bootloader then wipe cache in recovery then reflash the eng bootloader enter recovery wipe cache again then reboot xposed installed with out data wipe
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] klabit87:
Nice find! Great to know there is another way!

Thanks for sharing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
I am going to do this on ufirmware though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] sylikc:
Damn there's so many ways to skin a cat. Hey, thanks for jumping in and putting out the standardized way to get Xposed on without a verification failed. (and patience to deal with repeat i-did-not-read questions)

Anyways, so that process is stable? As long as I don't make additional modifications to the system, the verification failed message won't ever come up again? How about upgrading Xposed?

I have only one phone and it's the S7 so I'm just watching all the comments like a hawk... can't afford to F up my DD.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] klabit87:
Should be fine. But only one way to know for sure.

Give it a shot and let us know.

Not sure about an update. That will just have to be something we find out later. It shouldn't happen anymore but honestly only time will tell. I have installed a couple of modules and setup some options with multiple reboots and haven't seen the verification screen again. Would be a good idea to be close to a computer when making major changes and make frequent backups. Or store your important information on your sdcard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mario6714:
This work for the lag?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
Don't know. I do know the new Odin doesn't have that option the guy is saying that you need to check
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] FatalONEM8:
That could easily be added if that's the case with either a .inf file edit or something deeper by raymonf. Could ask him in the discord.

Friends - how does Oreo + root run on your Galaxy S7? Is it stable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mario6714:
Secure folder and private mode dont work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] klabit87:
Good chance that it doesn't. Been chasing down other things as well as reworking safestrap for us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mario6714:
Ok, thanks i just wait
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] klabit87:
You could try it and report back... Others may have the same question
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mario6714:
Already try, secure folder, private mode, samsung pay dont work i disable xposed and still dont work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] klabit87:
Ok. Thanks for letting us know. Samsung pay will not work with Xposed or root for sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
They will never work with eng boot regardless if you have it rooted or not or xposed installed or not
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mario6714:
Oh, Really?

Other things that do not work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] MrWhite0429:
For lag [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] reccommended an app called sEFix. It deactivated lag at the flip of a switch. Now to install some apps and busybox! Loving finally having some root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] klabit87:
Anything that does not work when you don't pass cts.

Most banking apps, Pokemon go, etc...

If you need absolute 100% functionality then stock is where you need to be.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] billyt1:
No problem just glad to have safestrap and root . Also just wanted to say you can flash xposed with safestrap without being rooted. For those that don't necessarily need root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] lastSamPhoneEver:
I don't know much about the nitty gritty, but so far I think it's working great (Currently running with no SIM, so I haven't seen issues there yet)

I did a complete clean install of this:

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/development/rom-t3757884

And then went ahead and rooted and threw xposed on there.

I'd love to help out if I could, so if there's anything I can try to help get some data let me know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] billyt1:
This didn't work for me. I've got S7 flat.

I know on the older odin's there was a PhoneBootUpdate but was grayed out but if you open the odin3 config setting file you can change the PhoneBootUpdate=0k to =1 and it would check the box but was still grayed out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] General_Mayhem:
Which version of Safestrap? I literally only want/need Xposed and some specific modules.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
You have to run one of my nonrooted roms to have safestrap on a unrooted rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] FatalONEM8:
I did that and nothing happened in Odin so idk maybe [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] has some input.

Ufirmware. Tried wiping data after verification failed screen after flashing xposed through installer. Re rooted and installed xposed ,still came up verification failed, how can I install safestrap to u firmware without having to use Verizon, tmobile,or att firmware, just straight install safestrap I have an idea
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
Do you have a method to install safestrap on the u firmware oreo ,I have an Idea ,I want to be able to install safestrap without any other carriers firmware just u firmware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
If you are rooted why are you worried about safestrap. And why are you rerooting after you wipe data once you are rooted it persists through a data wipe. The same with xposed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
I want to be able to install xposed before root using safestrap , then root using latest version and see if I get same symptoms,and I rerooted because there was no su app installed it did have the engboot still working as when I reflashed the firmware again the unlock words were on the splash screen on start up like I had seen in mm

I was going to attempt this using ur t mobile hybrid method but it didn't come up in adb using oreo eng boot ,adb wasn't there in recovery , also I don't want to install a carrier rom over u rom as there is only three options for system,I used the eng boot of oreo because I do not have a stock boot img for u firmware

Gave up and tried clean install again, no luck. Now I just have your safestrap installed with xposed but can't access phone because I'm getting a blank black screen. I can tell processes and apps still working in the background though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Rick1488:
I was forced to go back to stock as the root is causing crashes on startup so a normal restart of the phone will boot to the home screen and restart then the phone will do the exact same thing once more until the 3rd time it wont make it past the AT&T screen before it finally reboots for the last time and allows me in .

I was running a clean install of stock Oreo V6 root + Volte icon fix - 0 tweaks installed.

I really didn't do much as far as taking advantage of the root access besides removing bloatware: Facebook, Uber, Hangout and Direct Tv remote. I didn't even setup my email so not alot done.

Any help would be greatly appreciated I really need root but I can't have it so unstable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] General_Mayhem:
I'd be willing to do that. Which one is closest to stock without the bloat?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] sylikc:
Well, I haven't entirely looked at SafeStrap yet... but is having safestrap like having TWRP? Can I go directly into SafeStrap without being at a computer?

Yeah, even having something on the SDcard doesn't allow me to recover on the fly. I miss TWRP on my S3 :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
I got a method I would like you too try
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] klabit87:
True you can't recover on the fly. But no matter what you do you can't recover on the fly with a locked bootloader.

Safestrap depends on the system. It's more like an interactive flashfire.

All cellular communication is completely broken.now. Will continue to poke at it and see whats going on.

In the root.bat does it delete Knox stuff as other root process have done before maybe that a reason were having issues
