So it passed using this method to root. Got the TWP recovery. Wiped everything. Installed Magisk and what not, then phone refused to reboot. Just got stuck on the Start up screen at Samsung Galaxy S7. Now it is stuck there still.

Issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
Did flash one of the stock system images in post 2 before flashing the root zip and wipe data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
you need to use pit file when flashing. Extract it from the combo firmware tar.md5 file and load it in the pit tab in odin and flash along with firmware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
Did you use the pit file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] gaspricessuckk:
I might have missed that let me check.

because the stuff your flashing is for the s7 not s7 edge
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] THEONEV12:
Why can Nougat and Oreo roms not be flashed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
because the combo bootloaders needed for root are Marshmallow
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] THEONEV12:
Ok, that makes sense. What causes the battery to be capped at 80%? Other than that this ROM is solid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
Another effect of using combo bootloaders
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
Added custom stock rom to post 2. My old echo rom I redid to work on these bootloaders and firmware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] THEONEV12:
Boots until "installing apps" then reboots and says power reset unknown upload mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
you need to explain what you have done
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] THEONEV12:
flashed echo rom after flashing the tmobile one. Setup went good, boots and loads for around 10 minutes then when it gets to the installing apps screen (before any setup) it reboots into kernel panic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
Try flashing the Verizon rom first then echoe rom. You also need too reflash the combo firmware first basically start over. The latest combo from post 1 also did you flash the super su zip after the echoe rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] THEONEV12:
Ok will attempt it with Verizon. Yes I did flash super su after echoe rom.

Sidenote: Phone seems to charge past 80% while in recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
Yes it may charge a little past 80 when in recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] THEONEV12:
Success with the Verizon image. Set service provider to T-Mobile in Echo setup and it works great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
I’ll change it too say use verizon image only
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] THEONEV12:
Ok

btw if you ever update it I'd recommend changing the secure storage in build prop otherwise the wifi is all messed up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] THEONEV12:
The reason I use the T-mobile version is because T-mobile allows Wi-Fi share. I use the phone as a wifi repeater. Of course Verizon doesn't allow this because they're Verizon.

Good day. Everything works great. The phone is being flashed. Thank you. I make this first time. Everything succsess. There is a question. Is there a firmware version with VOLTE support and with an open 20 Band? Unfortunately, this variant does not work for our operator (((
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Rkur:
Сan you help me with the choice of what to flash to activate VOIP on S7?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
probably no way as you are limited to whats available as far as roms in port 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Rkur:
It's a pity. Although I tried to flash the g930u and it got up like a native firmware but without the ability to activate the volte, unfortunately ((( But it was a hope for a positive result. Apparently something needs to be edited in the firmware. At a low level, all this is allowed. It remains to be figured out how to activate it at the level of settings in the firmware. The hardware of the phone itself allows this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Rkur:
Additional information. After flashing the g930u, we noticed that the knox did not switch. The battery began to charge up to 100%. NFC did not check, but it is activated. Something like this. Tell me who I can consult about changing the settings at a low level to activate the Volte?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
You are obviously running stock firmware so the carriers control the volte on your phone. The best is too flash your carriers stock firmware. I don’t know who your carrier is. The only way I know too manually enable it os too use an activity launcher application and find the imssettings app but on android 8 this requires root access too launch apps that are blocked from launching so I don’t know what too tell you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Rkur:
Yes. With stock firmware, root disappears (((. In any case, thanks. You gave me hope for the further use of this phone, but apparently not fate. I'll think of something for the future.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] sabotage154:
does anyone know how i can manually enable volte via imssettings app with activity launder? g930w8 8CVG1. trying to see if i can get volte activated for verizon sim i am using on the device. data works.

@jrkruse Thanks so much for all this, I got Echo running on my newly purchased US VZW S7 Flat. It runs perfectly, There are no issues, and all features work, got TWRP, root, custom rom - all with a locked bootloader - I can't believe it!

I failed at first, could not complete first boot in Echo after installing it right after the first combo firmware stage, then second attempt I flashed the VZW system image first, then the Echo, but then I had no 4G data or phone service in Echo - the trick was to flash the BCTA1 USVZW Samsung firmware with ODIN first, boot it, skip all through start wizard, get sim registered and all connections working, then go through the whole install process in the OP, the combo firmware, wipe data, the system image, then Echo ROM, then the SuperSU zip, then wipe data, everything works great now - hope that helps someone with a new S7.

In case anyone still using Echo, Xposed 87.1 by Wanam works fine

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jooEE:
This worked for me thanks. Still have some tweaks to do but successful.

-Flashable system image vzw worked for me but there was no pit file that I could find. It seemed work anyway.

-There is no reference to system_custom.zip in posts 1 and 2 but was discussed in later posts. What is this?

-ASOP zips don't download. I get an error message.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] imonxda:
jrkruse mentioned something about the PIT file needed for correct partitioning? It is inside the .tar.md5 file inside the zip, 7-zip works to open the .md5 and extract the .pit out, but if you have no issues, I guess it's good without.

I think the system_custom.zip was the old version of the VZW system image, but I'm not 100%.

I couldn't download the AOSPs either, but TouchWiz especially Echoe ROM is so much better anyway, just my opinion.

I'm just relieved that I don't have to suffer with Samsung and VZW bloat and crappy uncustomizable OS, no Xposed mods, with no way to restore my Titanium backups from my old retired phones.

OH, some advice if you're installing Echoe, make sure you INCLUDE the Samsung TTS (text to speech) in Aroma, or else you will not be able to enable components in Accessibility - I left out TTS 'cause I don't use it, then I installed Apex Launcher Classic and wanted to use the swipe down on Home screen feature to open notifications, and was prompted to enable Apex in Accessibility settings, and I could not do so because Accessibility settings page would crash with error toast mentioning missing TTS component. I installed Echoe with the SamTTS on, and the Accessibility problem was gone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jooEE:
Well after successfully rooting my phone using this thread I decided I didn't like the Android 6.0 (Marshmallow?) and tried to go back and reinstall the Android 8.0/Oreo. I ended up bricking the phone (got stuck on boot up and I could only get the upload screen with power+home+volume up or down). So I just left it on in the upload screen and let the battery completely die. Then recharged it and was able to get to the download screen again. Repeated the above and got it back. So I think I'll leave well enough alone. Marshmallow it is. I really didn't need to root the phone. I only did it as an experiment/learning exercise since the phone was retired. I learned that these phones are a total cluster duck. I'm a retired EE and used to program automated machines and robots for a living. That was way easier (and it was NOT easy). lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] imonxda:
I'm sure if you get the latest official Oreo firmware for your variant and flash with Odin, it will be back to working stock Oreo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jooEE:
That's what I thought I had and it ended up bricking my phone trying to load it in Odin. Then I went to try and download in in Frija and Samkey. Neither would let me download it. Frija would lock up trying to searching for the firmware and Samkey wanted me to pay for a Premium account. So I was not able to download the latest official firmware for my variant, and I'm stuck with Marshmallow. Not a big deal as it's just my retired phone for experimenting (also use it to surf the web and email on WiFi only). Another interesting thing is I left my phone charging overnight and it reached 100%. I thought it was supposed to only go to 80%, and it did for first couple days, but then it mysteriously went to 100% charging overnight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] imonxda:
Mine charges to 80% always on Echoe. I have the SM-G930V US VZW variant.

If you can't flash official Sam firmware with Odin, there may be something wrong with your installed firmware or internal NAND. If it were my phone, I would be worried about that. Are you sure you have the right files for your variant, like from https://updato.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s7-firmware/sm-g930f/ , the right Odin like the one in the OP, a reliable cable, not just some cheap charging cable, but a good quality USB data transfer cable?

I flashed the Combo firm, then VZW image, then Echoe, then my mobile data didn't work, no phone or sms - so I downloaded the Sam VZW Oreo firm with version number that matched the last 5 digits shown in the combo firm and that fixed everything, and I had no trouble flashing it in Odin either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jooEE:
updato is not working either. Keeps saying it sent an email after I sign up. No email in inbox, spam, or trash. None of these websites work for me.

Edit 1: updato is now letting me download. 2.9GB at 80kb/s. 10 hours. lol. I wonder if they will conveniently cause a problem in the download when it's almost done?

Edit 2: So are you saying to not use the "Odin v3.12.3 ZIP file" that updato is telling me to download with my Oreo build number G930VVRSBCTC1? I should use the Odin3 v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD instead? For someone just getting into this, all this stuff is very confusing. And I have a software background.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jooEE:
Well it downloaded. So I can simply follow these instructions in the link below? Shoud I use the Odin version in the OP? Odin3 v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD ?

I am stuck.

*Previous firmware: G935VVRSBCTC1

*No issues flashing pit file and repartition and erasing nand.

*No issues extracting the VZW combo file (which ends up as .tar.md5)

"Once phone is booted you will have a limited combo rom you just need to copy rom from post 2 too phone and reboot too safestrap." This is where I convert and copy the 1.08gb 7z file from pc, to the phone. Which ends up as [system_g930_vzw_10-30-22.img] @ 5.29gb

"Flashable System Images

This need to by unzipped and images copied to phone

Everything in .7z is stuff that needs unzipped

system_g930_vzw_10-30-22.7z" This is the required system Image I chose to start with

"

Directions

1. You must be on one of the above flashable system images first

2. Flash in safestrap or flashfire"

It instantly fails and says the image is too large

"Wipe data in safestrap

unzip install system image in safestrap."

I have tried as many different combos as I can think of when wiping data without success.

"Directions

1. choose above rom and uzip to get the system image and copy the system image to phone.

2. In safestrap choose install and at bottom of screen choose image and locate the system.img and flash too system."

I feel like I did the process correctly. But I cannot proceed to load the Echoe Aroma rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jooEE:
You have an S7 Edge which is G935 and you chose the S7 non-Edge G930 zip file. So you used the wrong file. Go to the link that says "S7 Edge files found here" in the 1st post.

Oh I did much worse than being off only one digit. After I successfully rooted mine I decided I didn't like Android 6.0 and wanted to go back to the stock Android 8.0. I used the complete wrong stock VZW firmware and just about bricked my phone. Luckily after letting the battery go completely dead I was able to get back to the download screen. Then got the correct firmware for my phone and all was well. Messing with these phones is not straight forward. I appreciate the OP for putting this all together.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] _skywalker_1_:
Honestly, I have a few phones and wanted to play with rooting them while I was familiarizing myself with android platform/process tree. I was nervous at first about bricking these phones. But if you just keep holding the button combo for "download mode" you can almost always get them to come back. If not the first reboot, A few full power downs to start the system from scratch again. it wont "boot" but there is still a little and very limited linux kernel in there and im sure theres some sort of trick to triggering it to acknowledge and kick into gear.

I found a few loop holes and am going to to try to see what I cant flash. I just wish I had verbose man pages for all these new utilities Ive found (vpn's are cool, find stuff you usually cant find in certain areas). I swear, 90% of the time is spent making sense of compatibility and why some scripts work on one platform, but not the other. With nothing being simply transparent, it really keeps you on your toes.

Why we need 50x variations of the same thing is absolutely the most inefficient way to construct a product. if they have a certain hardware and storage type, they should all be the same or similar.

I saw someone had flashed Android 12 on the S7 edge. I haven't tried that one yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
Nobody has flashed android 9 or 10 or 11 nor 12 on an s7 with a locked bootloader unless its some eng model that allows custom binaries to be flashed or a token flashed that allows this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Buzbee2:
I have not rooted my phone yet. Odin always fails for me.

error

sw rev check fail : [boot]Fused 11 > Binary 10​

my version is R16NW.G930VVRSBCTC1

baseband G930VVRSBCTC1

model number SM-G930V

Hardware version REV0.6

I think this means I am using an old firmware file (anti-downgrade measure). The phone states software is dated 3/17/20 and the firmware I am using is dated 3/20/20. I am trying to flash without using the bootloader file. Is the real problem

is that I have bootloader 11 (B). I think this means no root unless I have marshmallow combination rom. I guess I cannot install a LineageOS rom since there is no twrp for 11/B?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] _skywalker_1_:
I have a vpn and my country blocks access to most all of the mods and firmware. The vpn allows me to access information I otherwise wouldnt be able to.

I had the vpn set to india and was watching youtube. He claimed it was snapdragon/qualcom. But I couldnt understand and his links sent you on a journey of clicking that never produced download links. But it looked like they found an exploit. He had flashed other devices with android 12 as well.

Im a bit confused because it sounds like lineage os claims to be abe to put android 11 on a lot of devices too.

howevery, no matter what I do, I cannot root this device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] _skywalker_1_:
MY device is G9350VV I was able to flash the full G930VV firmware and run it on my device. So I'm sure you can run the G9350 firmware.

Try to flash this with odin. G935VVRSBCTC1 they both share the same software version of "B".

Edit. I just looked and the G930VV is also software version "B"

If your getting that error you most likely aren't flashing the correct file. The only other thing that could be the issue is maybe you didn't reset the phone/clear cache/partitions and you have a conflict with the flash?

I'm still new to all this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] TheHunterOfShadows:
Looking for any help (or maybe i'm dumb :D)

Verizon S7, believe it's B11. I flashed the md5 and pit with odin, that works, it will then boot into that 'factory binary' OS.

From there I turn phone off, then boot into recovery, which appears to look like a stock phone recovery. There I do install from SD card, and none of the img's I put there show up. So I instead added some of the zips, I choose those, like the ASOP, and I get the e footer error.

What should I do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] imonxda:
From what I remember, you run SafeStrap TWRP or FlashFire from inside the 'factory binary' OS. Maybe all you're doing wrong is turning the phone off then entering stock recovery instead of starting TWRP from the shortcut in 'factory binary' OS. I did this months ago, so I'm only relying on memory, sorry if I'm wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] TheHunterOfShadows:
Is the shortcut called TWRP or recovery or something? I'm not seeing anything like the list of apps in the factory binary os for some reason
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] imonxda:
I thought that's what I recall, but I have another S7 that I was going to root with this method, I've been putting off, I will try it some time tonight and I'll report back here. I got a bunch of work to finish first so I don't know when I can start on the S7, but it'll be some hours from now.
