[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION], can you add some stuff or mods that we can flash through Flashfire?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Gregbmil1:
I'm pretty sure I got stuck with the worst model to have when it comes to rooting, mods, recoveries, and just about everything else ? I tried to install Xposed 3 times now, Magisk twice, each time I got this screen, no bootloop. Factory reset did not change anything and neither does the "reset" button on the bottom of the Error Screen. However though, the volume buttons worked and the volume slider shows up.

If you attempt to install Xposed, I suggest installing Bx-actions before hand and map the volume buttons to Settings or something like that. I wish it didn't take me 5 factory resets to think of that, but now I might just do it on purpose :laugh:. My S7 has no service and never will again. So I can experiment:D

The System seems to load fine it's just blocked by that black screen.

I'll report back, lol.

Well, I set up Bx-actions and to be safe I mapped one button to open Bx-actions and one to open setting.

Then flashed Xposed (Version 90 Beta 3 API 26)

But instantly regretted it?. I got to the error screen and the volume slider came up. I pushed volume up to maybe open Bx-actions but did no good.

Long story short, DO NOT install Xposed. Knowing me I will probably come up with another brilliant idea and try again though ?. If anyone has an idea and don't want to risk it, let me know I'll flash it.

Within reason of course. Don't go sending me some BS like Magisk or anything:p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Syngravez:
Just start from the beinning again! starting with!:

-Stock firmware (Clean) > Install everything & Tweak > Re-flash with V5 with Root & NOT systemless-root > Flash in SuperSU or Magisk > > Wipe Dalvik-Cache (Always after flashing in .zip's or any other file type )

-Then after all that's done ... start with installing Xposed again through "SafetyNet (TWRP)" or "FlashFire" > Wipe Dalvik-Cache (Always after flashing in .zip's or any other file type )

Everything in this "Thread" is pretty much straight forward and should't be any problem to follow with. Make sure to follow the "Main guide" provided by OP for in depth intructions

Hopefully I can help out here ? :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] General_Mayhem:
Thank you! I rooted and chose system root. SuperSU is installed as is apparently FlashFire. Do I use FlashFire to install Xposed? The only way I vaguely recall doing that in the past was TWRP, but I get that we don't have a custom recovery so TWRP is out. I thought SafetyNet was removed from the script.. ?

Last time I tried to root my S7 (under Nougat), I got in on the thread late and screwed up my phone. Fortunately I was able to recover, but have had an on-again, off-again lag ever since. I'm pretty sure it's an app, but I'm not able to figure out which one.

[EDIT]

I do have one additional question: Anyone using a Gear S3 having issues pairing? I had to reset my Frontier and both the S3 and phone app have been on "Pairing underway.." for 5+ minutes. The initial pairing didn't take this long.

[/EDIT]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Syngravez:
As OP plainly put it straight-forward as bugs and what-not are Erupting out of every orifices & fixes are on way by Devs / Communitys help!

- I would simply try out with "Recovery" (Safeynet TWRP) first see what happens ... Then stick with "Flash-fire" personally. ( All it can do is Boot-loop or Soft-brick ) Just Revert back to Stock and start over again.

Make sure all "system-apps" and what-not are debloated by either yourself *wink wink* or by OP's intructions! :cool:

P.s: [MENTION=4063074]General_Mayhem[/MENTION] I still use it. I'm running on Stock currently & waiting on new Root fixes in future! ... Don't get me wrong I've gone/done rooting with V5 already and tested. Also you're correct! .. SafetyNet is removed unforunately.

Phewwww, I see some hope nowwwwwwwww!

Thank you very much! I've been trying to root this phone for sooooooo long! can some1 help me to understand the step #2?

Enable ADB Debugging (and OEM Unlock if available) in Settings > Developer Options, and run the script below, in order to avoid the constant re-booting and OTA updates after flashing the eng-boot.

Run the batch file below, some of the commands will fail which is perfectly normal, just disregard it.

Samsung_Security+OTA_Disabler_(BillA_v2018-04-01).BAT

Enable ADB Debugging - Is this the USB debugging?

and OEM Unlock if available - OK!

Run the batch file below - With the phone connected and running on download mode?

Thank youuuuuuuu!!

Brought a Galaxy s7 edge with Hope's of installing a custom rom, only to find out its Snapdragon and it has a locked bootloader and its V11 bootloader so no root or safestrap :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] billa:
Till a root comes out for bootloader Rev.B/11 and you're already on Rev.B/11, your best option is to flash it with the latest "U" unbranded firmware which contains no carrier bloatware, plus you can disable/uninstall any other app using the adb command "adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 <app_package_name>", just search for its use.

*** This latest Rev.B/11 firmware is currently NOT rootable, contains no carrier bloatware for a bloatware free experience ***

*** Do not upgrade to this version if you're still on bootloader Rev.A/10 and would like to root it, cannot downgrade!! ***

Keep in mind that all your data will be erased, therefore back it up to an SDcard using Samsung Smart Switch.

Enter download mode by holding down Vol Down + Home + Power for about 10-15 seconds.

Use the patched Odin below for all operations, under the PIT tab select the PIT file extracted from the "CSC_OYM_G93xxx.tar" file.

Under the Options tab select Auto-Reboot + NAND Erase + Repartition + F.Reset.

Select the proper files for BL, AP, CP, and for CSC use the non-HOME CSC file, then press Start.

Right before the flashing is done, hold down Vol Up + Home + Power to get into recovery.

Do a full Factory Data+Cache reset, then follow the setup steps on your phone.

Thanks for your incisive commentary. I'm new to Samsung rooting. Didn't know it would be impossible to unlock the bootloader on a Snapdragon SOC to install custom recovery.

Step 3 quandary

Disregard the below, I figured it out, thanks anyway. But If someone can tell me how to get my Boost visual voicemail app working after rooting I would appreciate it.

So I don't understand how I can flash this .tar file, if I extract it I only get a boot.img file, with which nothing can be flashed. Appreciate if someone could explain step 3 to me.

Step#3

Flash the eng-boot and let it sit there for about 30 minutes without touching the phone, then again enable ADB Debugging in Settings > Developer Options.

It's been awhile since I've played with s7 rooting. I have a nougat edge and it is what it is, we all know the problems with the eng kernel.

I also run a n oreo flat that has been stock as I need a phone at times that actually responds when I want it to. However, it has become bloated and constantly running out of storage. Oddly, the rooted edge with a ton more apps has more free storage space, figure that out.

So I want to root my oreo flat and get the crap out and then unroot it. TiB is my app of choice.

Will the alternative root method (SU Binary only) work without wiping the phone? Very worst case I could flash stock, root & wipe, debloat, unroot and reload the apps. Of course I'd rather not.

Solid state storage in phone is different than on a traditional hard drive where it's only marked deleted but not wiped (unless that section is overwritten). I don't think rooting will help you much, probably just wasting your time. Instead try retrieving your deleted pictures form your google drive (if it was uploaded/sysnced). Next time don't be so trigger happy deleting stuff, or at least transfer it to an sdcard first. ;)

Hello, I think there will be good news soon to unlock Galaxy S7 Snapdragon with still bootloader locked. I say this because an update for the twin S7 Exynos came out recently, so a security issue may have emerged that allows you to get root (so the advice for now is NOT to update the phone if it warns you to install updates!). If a security issue was found, this should hold also for the Galaxy S7 Snapdragon :)
