Ok thank you. Oh and I rerooted and factory reset right after root and my performance gain is Massive. It's slow but its fast at the same time. Not even close to the speed of the lag root gave.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
I'm still getting no lag and stock battery life
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Leone/kyleproxx:
Btw how is your temperature of your CPU and GPU so high?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
That just got off the charger so it may be a little hotter but other than that phone never heats up like previous roots, phone lasts all day no problem even with music on bluetooth on apps up and running ,even while charging no lag ,somehow I got a great root finally ,and the GPU I have it set to the second highest as the first is stock but the min is the min number so it can go back and forth between frequencies, I do notice I am using a lot more ram about half a gig ,but still no performance effected which is ok as when you root you lose some anyways

Can you take a screen shot of your individual settings on kernel auditor?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
My settings hopefully it works the same as all of yours check each individual setting to match the pictures also in the sefix app put to low as I have a pic posted earlier,also with su enable on boot ,pro,and for permissions put always allow and with kernel auditor go to settings ,delay set to instant and remove notification

Terrific job guys. I was so dishearted after getting v8 bootloader upgrade. Thanks to you amazing folks it is finally rooted again.

Just one little thing, can anyone point me to a working Rom Control? Badly need that virtual power button on status bar and the fingerprint touch unlock instead of push unlock.

For peeps having trouble rooting: just do a full flash with December's U version then grab the root file from page 129 of this thread then head to page 1 and grab the root tool and follow instructions to get rooted. Mine is working smoothly.

Problems after rooting

I'm new to rooting. I followed the instructions and have been using the phone for a few months. I noticed that my phone will often lose network bars more frequently than before. When I go into a building with no bars, then come back out again, it won't reconnect to the network automatically like it used to.

Also, how do I stop the notifications that tell me to update the phone? When it tries to update, it fails every time.

If I want to go back to the original Verizon image, do I just do a factory reset?

Am I able to use a non-Verizon-specific image on my VZ Galaxy S7 Edge?

Sm-g930P Root Oreo

I just rooted my sm-g930P with no problems I still have 4glte I use att for my carrier is there a way to install a coustom recovery since i have now rooted it?

---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 AM ----------

Okay so after rooting my sm-g930p I tried flashing TWRP but it would not let it because the boot loader is locked. So I used flash fire to try to do it and it worked until i got a message when trying to boot into recovery saying a coustom recovery has been flashed and you would have to see a tech and it may cost you money, after that I just flashed the bootloader from the original firmware now its back to stock recovery I still have root but I cannot use twrp.

Any ideas on getting Twrp on there?

unable to install a custom recovery on s7 g930p on android 8.0. bootloader8

Please help me. i need to install custom rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
There are no roms and there is no development anymore on the s7 unless someone picks it up as long as bootloader is locked this device has no point to keep going be lucky we even have root ,dev's in previous post have said they will be moving on to other devices ,all Qualcomm s7 will stay with locked bootloaders, g930t,g930a,g930u,g930p

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

If you want to try to make your own look up safestrap recovery on xda then you will need to look into decrypting a stock s7 samsung rom ,and the most you can do is remove and add to the system which won't be very much the best so far was a Google conversion rom but it was still samsung stock no other OS can be installed

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 PM ----------

Also I'm trying to clear up the ram not the rom so far I have 1 GB free rom with debloating some apps still trying to keep samsung cloud stuff,but I'm only getting between 1 and 1.2 GB of ram im trying to get another 500mb that I lost after root
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] persspolice@gmail.com:
I think I had a similar problem, and good people of xda helped me. here

is the thread. Note, I had a G930T, but I think you are struggling with the same kind of issue I am. Do verify this with the XDA folks. I am now using a unbranded stock rom and life is a lot sweeter. I may even have the option to root it; I am checking on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] elesbb:
Eng_boot.img will always consume RAM. You will eventually get to the point of having 0 RAM and your phone will lag and freeze. Being on Booloader V8 is a mistake unless Jkruze figures out a way to reset DM verity so we can unroot like he had setup before. But so long as you are on the eng boot img, you won't have a lot of RAM. Unless things changed in the V8 eng_boot.img but I'm assuming not so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Cruel_Carlos:
I haven't rooted yet and have the stock v8 bootloader since the original update to 8.0. What do you want to know?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
I don't get any lag or freezes , surprisingly as previous roots ,I'm not having any issues with ram not being able to handle it but would like to know more on what settings I can utilize it more for what I'm trying to do and that's pull as much performance out of it as i am not getting lag and the more i turn everything up the smoother it gets battery life is no effect either same as stock ,I've been messing the cache and a couple other settings I've been able to pull another 200mb towards the ram,the only real lag I do get is when it comes to downloading large files through Google drive ,but that's usual in stock,I'm surprised no one has been able to unlock the bootloader or even figure a way to trick the Knox somehow ,I see that the s7e is capable

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

One issue I do notice and idk if it's the root or the firmware or my phone when making a call I can't hear it ring , on headphones I can but not sure why it still makes the call and only does it when it wants to
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] elesbb:
Are you saying the S7 Edge for Sprint/T-Mobile/ATT/Verizon has gotten its bootloader unlocked??? That I have yet to see.

But, if you aren't getting any abnormal RAM usage as with previous root, then the only way to get more RAM is to shutdown services/processes being used. You can use "ps -A" in a terminal to see what processes are running, 90% of them are probably the kernel, so you can't close them without a custom kernel.

But, if you are debloating, then just start removing things one at a time, or a few at a time. Don't delete them though, just rename the apk file like so:

SamsungBloat.apk - rename to - SamsungBloat.apk.delete

That way if you get a bootloop you can fix it by renaming it back using the ADB commands in stock recovery, or by doing "adb shell stop" when the device bootloops.

Otherwise, you're stuck with whatever RAM you have. I wouldn't be surprised if the eng_boot is using more because its doing more things like debugging. Plus having ro.debuggable=1 is also causing other services and processes to use more RAM. Probably not a lot per app, but the sum of all of them is probably a lot.

I have no idea.. That is a new one for me. lol

Uninstall?

Hey. So i flashed my Verizon S7 thinking I could flash my phone with a sm-G930U (unlocked Rom) after it was rooted so i can use a Sprint Sim on my Verizon phone.. It didnt work so im trying to flash it back to original settings (No Root) because my fingerprint log in doesnt work, the rom is a bit lagging and possible security issues..

The issue im having is i flashed your BL file and Boot file. I have the latest VZW Android 8 rom installed at security patch December 2018. Im not that tech savy on phones, but it looks like the BL file (bootloader?) is a different version. The orignial version is V8, but your version is V12?

I just wanna take everything back to Stock because theres really no point in rooting phones anymore cause they're already unlocked.. How can I do that?

I tried installing the OTA update. It doesnt install but gives me a error message and install fail.. (I thought the OTA would just erase everything)

I tried flashing the latest Rom via Odin that was previously installed on my phone, but it fails in download mode saying DEVTYPE UNSUPPORTED. My guess is because the BL file installed is your v12 and cant retract to the original V8 BL file..

How can i flash all the original stuff back or undo all your root software? (BL File and Boot File)

Oh yea i did install the safestrap option.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] grimmstyle2000:
I did.

I tried to flash the latest VZW Official Firmware BL, AP, CP, CSC files using Odin while in Download Mode multiple times..

Ive tried wiping Cache, Wipe Data in Recovery then attempt to flash in Download Mode. Eveytime i get DEV TYPE UNSUPPORTED.

Im guessing it wont allow me to flash the original VZW Official Firmware because the BL file from the Root method BL file is V12 and the Official Firmware BL File is V8.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] grimmstyle2000:
Ah ok. I have to step down previous firmwares (V12 BL File) to get to (V8 BL File).

Is it even possible to go back on BL versions? Im on BL V12..

Is 930U CRJ2 firmware the previous version to the V12 BL File I have installed thru this root method? Or is there more step down firmwares to get to the Latest Official VZW Galaxy S7 Firmware?

Miko12312 I searched Android File Host and there is no result for 930U CRJ2..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
Your only using the root boot img you need to look up g930u ,and the v12 is the root version ,the latest bootloader is v8

---------- Post added at 05:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 AM ----------

Get that extract it flash using latest Odin then flash a vzw firmware I'd just stay with that firmware as it's not carrier orientated with bloat

---------- Post added at 05:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------

Try kernel setting a few post back or try restating flashing firmware and dont use kernel settings in cmd when rooting and dont wipe after just root and use
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] grimmstyle2000:
I guess there is no way to go back to the original BL File is there?

Like say if verizon ever rolled out android 9 OTA Firmware for the S7, I couldnt update the firmware via OTA because my BL version is V12..

Id have to find a boot image online and update it manually that matches the the BL version? I guess because of the MD5 checksum?

I have the latest G930U firmware, buti dont think its CRJ2.. I attached a picture just below this sentence

The newest bootloader is v9 actually, not v8. That's why I cant flash the rooted boot image from v12 root.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] miko12312:
You still need to go back you have a newer v8 bootloader you can go back to an earlier v8 bootloader the 8 in the file names is the bootloader and with stock boot.img good luck , I've had to do a full restore on Odin ,but if you end up updating to v9 bootloader good luck on root I'm staying on 8 it's been the least problems for me

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] grimmstyle2000:
I got it all figured out Miko12312 Thanks for your help.

I was flashing older Firmwares (BL,AP,CP,CSC files) that resulted in errors like unsupported Dev Type and SW Check Fail Fuse 8 Binary 1.

I got frustrated with the errors, so I used Flashfire to wipe SU, partitions, etc..

That basically bricked my device, but i still had Bootloader (Download Mode)

I booted in Recovery Mode, Wiped Cache and Wiped Data and went into Bootloader Download Mode thru Recovery Boot and updated the Firmware there.

I just downloaded the latest VZW firmware (February) from Samfrew.com (they have all the firmwares! Even the CRJ2 you were recommending) and flashed all the BL,AP,CP,CSC files which matched the previous installed BL (February).

That allowed me to install the appropriate Firmware that matched previously installed BL (February) before i used this Root method.

My phones Status is still Custom (the UNLOCK picture on System Boot) but i dont have Root (which i dont really need)

There is a new update for G930U (January 28) I would like to try to install it, but i dont think ill use.. Because if I flash the G930U January 28 BL, it would probably lock out the VZW February BL and not allow me to go back to the VZW Firmware and recieve OTA Updates.. If it allows me to just flash the AP,CP,CSC thatll work for me (so i dont have VZW Bloatware)

Im unsure which has the hierarchy (G930V or G930U BL) and dont want to lock the BL to a specific Carrier and have the phone unusable..

So im good. Im not ****ing with the Firmware anymore because Sprint still locks out cellular access via IMEI anyway..

---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

I think you should put a Attention Note in the original post saying that if anyone is attempting to switch Carriers via Rooting a Firmware, Carriers still block the IMEI and it will not work. The purpose of Root is for different use of Firmwares or Development.

Thanks so much for this info. I have been searching for an answer for months now it seems!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Delgoth:
So I finally got my G935V back since they upgraded to the Note8. I've been holding off on upgrading to Rev 8 Bootloaders because this wasn't out a couple months back. So looking around again I find this. I've been running Full Stock un-rooted TMO firmware on my 935v for about 6 months no issues on the last Rev 4 build. I knew the System Root was going to be the way to go when they started locking out systemless in MM. I'm really glad someone went ahead and updated Safestrap too. That would have helped the G925V and the N920A.

There are a lot of options available to this device now. When originally, everyone thought the S7 Edge was completely locked from anything but a basic root. Thanks. I should be able to directly connect my S7 and Tab E 9.6 and have them communicate now.

Is the Oreo Eng Boot v8 an actual Eng Boot with Root on the terminal or the boot.img from the factory binary with permissive? I'm interested in how much is still applicable to the Note 8 on Rev 5 bootloaders.
