Install Via the app. After reboot I suggest a force restart. If you still cant boot, clear cache in recovery. You should be able to boot up fine. It can take 5 to 10 minutes, so don't panic.
If you gained from this, I'd appreciate a hit from the thanx button. I just started here on xda. Would make me feel good
I'll try this method one of these days and see what happens. Btw: You posted about the Edge in the Flat forum.

My s7 edge is now fully rooted with Ufirmware and I reflashed the stock BL as Arse18 suggested. I am very happy with the performance of the phone while rooted! It is super snappy! I did a benchmark test before I obtained root on this device. I will post these scores along with the newly rooted scores soon for comparison after I install all my apps on the phone.
The only issue that I have is loss of the fingerprint sensor. When using JKRuse's root.bat, I chose to use the finger print fix when obtaining root through the program. However, the fingerprint sensor does not work now.
Can somebody direct me to a fix for the finger print sensor? In the meantime, I will go back and read through the entire thread to see if I can fix the issue myself.

Not sure, I'll check.
Fingersprint sensor works just fine. I had chosen to not install the fingerprint fix by accident the first time I rooted the phone. I have since rerooted the phone and made the correct choice this time.
Yes, I'm an idiot!
I tried this yesterday and yes, the lag is completely gone. I have yet to see any issues doing it this way. For whatever it's worth, I downloaded the latest G935U firmware: G935UUEU4BRD1. I had no issues making that work. Unfortunately, I didn't take screenshots of Antutu, so take this with a grain of salt:
before: 104948
after: 151326
I have all cores underclocked the same in the before and after. If you leave the clocks at stock speeds, you should see better results. Just wanted to say thanks! This should give a lot more life to my S7 Edge.

I agree 100 percent that there is better results with speed and battery without CPU governers.
Honestly though, this phone still can't beat my g900v s5 running crdroid ROM. Speed and and battery is insane.

Yep, I recently had to wipe one of my S5's and return it for credit, so I could get in on a Note 8 deal from Samsung. Was still quick, by any standard, even on TouchWiz. Certainly even better with a custom ROM.
The battery life with G935U firmware is marginally better with the bootloader reflash, but I have not even debloated yet or tweaked anything beyond the basics with L Speed & Kernel Adiutor. Looking forward to getting this fully tweaked up with all of my previous battery savings. Still, it's so much smoother than just with the EngBoot, that even if it didn't get any better, it's still miles smoother and more enjoyable as a daily driver.
So am I correct to assume this root method is root without the actually engboot file in the phone...is the battery life the same with stock or just slightly better than the previous root method...im already on bra1 u firmware...do I have to flash anything prior to rooting this...can I flash Roms and still maintain better battery life or will I lose root
Does this work on the flat 930T T-Mobile S7?
So, does it work for s7 flat? or just s7 edge?
I'm asking because of the link to the ufirmware part.
Thansk in advance.
Doubt
By following this method to root my Samsung G935V from Verizon would I lose the latest update Android 8.0? Can you confirm if everyting works?
Hi @ROMAD27. I do own a SM G935V S7 Edge from Verizon. I am looking forward to do this process to gain root access on my device however I don´t quite understad all the steps I need to follow. Can you guide me through. Thanks By the way Android 8.0 is now installed on the device. Would there be any conflict?
Does it trip safetynet?
Will this work for the S7 Flat?
OREO ROOT IS HERE!!!
I can't flash the Rom by iluminati.
Hello guys.Can anyone help me? I can't flash the Rom G935u by illuminati.I have a problem with the AP file. Is a winrar archive, not a MD5 file like it has to be.I don't now what to do.Thank You
I'm sorry, but could you explain the part with the Nougat_S7_Edge_EngBoot.tar.md5 file, how do I use it with Odin?? I´m kind of a noob, but I've flashed my phone before, but it gets hot and laggy sometimes.... Thanks

Rooting Tab Pro 12.2 with last firm done!

For rooting the latest firmware, did you use the CF-Auto-Root from the main site, marked KOT49H.T900XXUANB5, or a new one made for the KOT49H.T900UEUANI1? If the latter, would you mind posting a link to a T900UEUANI1 compatible version?

Don't needed. You can root the normal cf-auto-root with latest sock without problem.
After we pm chat last days about rollback to T900UEUAND4 as unique possibility for rooting, i decided to do a last try before that, and luckily works perfect:
-just did a factory reset to restore from B3 recovery i been trying to prev installed T900UEUANI1 stock, wipe caché with stock recovery, odined cf-auto-root and voilá, just rooted!
No need to do the old B3-rollback-prior-D4 method now. Just a normal auto-root with no hassling.
temp maybe?

It sounds like you maybe having a "Sleep of Death" (SOD) issue. The T520 and P900 have had similar problems. I will out of town until Monday but I'll do some research and hope to have a solution soon.

There is a deadlock in Samsung's code triggered by the CPU boost driver. Look in the t520 device repo for the commit that disables it (actually probably 2 commits because I removed some functionality that doesn't make sense for this processor).

When putting the tablet into sleep mode, it will automatically shut itself down. When I try to turn it back on, the tablet will only do so after I plugged in the charger. The battery itself is fully charged.
I've updated to the latest available firmware version that's available to me. I couldn't find any list of known issues, so I'm wondering if this is a common problem and if I should return my tablet?

Same here. It seems that the problem maybe is temperature: after some time charging it gets really hot and maybe can't awake from that and need rebooting.
I've disabled the magnet sensor vía 3rd app to off the close-lid functionality but don't improve the problem.
Here in summer the room gets to +30°c and the Tab ups to almost 65°c when it gets hot!
Maybe it just reach the temp threshold and self shutdown, or intend that not letting awake.
Perhaps CM11 build here charges battery too fast, with higher voltage than allowed and provoque overheating. I mean, i really feels that it's charging real fast..
Well currently its winter and cold. My tab was cool but it does not respond after deep sleep unless i reboot. Dev said he will look into it and i will wait. Not sure if temp is cause as mine was not definitely not hot.

Posted update last night, check it out
Thanks, btw, i was able to use ODIN to get a good version of TWRP and the ROM installed smoothly. I have encountered a few small bugs but nothing to report that is new. I noticed the "sleep of death" I think you are referring to, deep sleep resulting in a manual reboot to wake up. I have noticed my bluetooth disconnects and reconnects every few minutes during deep sleep..not sure why. will report back. Thanks SO SO much for the development, i love it, so sick of the green and blue and the settings tabs on this stock OS disgust me. I am curious tho, am I the only one who noticed significant slowdown and lag compared to stock? I do not put a lot of stock in benchmarks (skewed toward uncle sammy) but they also showed big slowdown....just my very humble and grateful early experiences. Thanks again.

Well there's a problem right now, seems that this rom prevent to enter recovery.., this is what happen to me:
Reboot from Android with 'reboot to recovery' option and when the TWRP splash logo shows it enter in a bootloop always to this instance that TWRP logo appears.
Then i just installed the good old UAND4 rom and it works fine.
Maybe i shouldn't go to recovery direct from android to prevent bootloop happen and try to go the normal way from boot.
Don't know, maybe I'll try some day.., or maybe better wait to Android L comes to us.
Please advice all that stuff in the respective threads, i can't.., cause' these 'noobs-wait-to-10-posting-before' rules..

1. You can "dirty"-flash (install w/o wiping) the new ROM over the old one - nothing to re-install - if you wish you could extract the kernel (boot.img) and flash it by Flashify
2. There haven't been reported any SOD issues after flashing chhaggerty's latest ROM version
3. I have had no issues with with TWRP after having flashed the KOT49H.T900UEUANI1 - I just assume that some parts of the Firmware, not touched by cm, has been improved (but since this is WIFI only, it might not be the case for a non phone device) why I preferred to make the update.

The changes done between the two versions (99% sure) was only some modifications in the kernel-code. Why flashing the kernel only should be fine, it will resolve the SOD and also make it run cooler. But if you wish you can also dirty-flash. However, cover your bases with a full back-up.
No issues at all with the reboot to recovery option

HERE it is
unzip the downloaded file
place boot.img on your SD
use Flashify to flash the kernel
after this I believe flashify will boot you up in recovery, just reboot and you should be good to go.

I have twrp 2.8, v2 of our Cyanogenmod, set processor to on demand as suggested...
Still when I play games like CoC and others, if I am not plugged in even with a lot of bat% left, I get a flashing screen and occasionally my tab just decides it needs to shut off.
Any thoughts on what to do? I have greenify and Xposed installed too...
It pretty frustrating.

My guess is that gaming need more power, why I would stop greeify and reset the governor to interactive while gaming. But other than that I have no ideas, as I haven't heard of this problem before.
This ROM is fantastic! Smooth, fast, responsive and just as described...big thanks.

arcadia2uk said:
Thanks for another quality update, notably when reading how other cm11 exynos versions always seems to break something. With your T-900 cm11, I have never had any issues. The latest version is still running smooth, the changes in the CPU governor will probably allow for better battery life with the added conservative setting. However, I don't know what trade-off this will have on performance.

Maybe they start to use the big.LITTLE behavior of the Exynos, instead of ever using just the full power a15 cluster (battery eater).
I've haven't tried it but since it's a 4.4.4 rom they should work fine.
Error flashing ROM
Hi guys,
I get this error message when I try to flash CM11:
"Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset"
This is a brand new rooted SMT-900 Tab Pro 12.2". Here's some notes:
- I received the error using V1, V2, and V3, all receive the error message
- I downloaded two copies of v3 from two separate mirrors (CA and AZ), both receive the error message
- I did a factory reset and still received the error message
- Wiped davlik/cache/system partitions
- Tried on TWRP 2.7 and 2.8, both receive same error message
- All I have done to this tablet is root it, install TWRP, and create one backup
Any thoughts? I can try using CWM if someone can give me a quick overview of how to install it and remove TWRP (or keep TWRP).
What's up fellas. Just picked up a 10.5 tab S (should be delivered tomorrow)
Had a few questions..
I am definitely going to root as I need my titanium backup among others.. Is xposed working on this device?
Mainly for YouTube ad block.
I will be using this as a movie watching device Mainly. Are there any stock based roms that are recommended? I don't want to lose features like multi window by flashing CM.
Also.. I would think a holo or aosp rom theme would be clutch on this device bc of the battery saving factors of an amoled screen, is there anything recommended?
Lastly, any battery saving tips? I usually watch my movies & shows with airplane mode on my Nexus 7, 10 and iPad. Seems to really make a huge difference..
Thanks and I look forward to helping out in this community.
Xposed does work on this device. Stock rooted should be fine for ya, you just need to remove some bloat to remove lag. To save battery, turn adaptative display off and set it to cimema because your watching movies and it would waste battery trying to adjust the tone all the time. Also turn off auto brightness and set it to one that is bright for you. And finally greenify is a good app to hibernate apps after you open them and will stay hibernative until you open it. I got a couple more but cant remeber them right now. Anyway hope you enjoy your tab s! You will see me around the q and a fourms and general fourms most times if you need anything. What version of the tab s did you get? Ex wifi, lte, etc

Thanks for the tips. I have a note 3 so I'm Sorta familiar with the touchwiz bs. I saw a thread on which apps are "safe" to freeze with titanium backup.
Usually someone makes a stock based rom with all the bloat removed but I haven't really seen one yet unless I'm missing it.
I purchased the Tab S 10.5 as I was upgrading my Nexus 7. I was not happy with the Nexus 9. It was built like garbage and had bad battery life and screen bleed. Very disappointed in HTC.
I also purchased the official S book cover which should look absolutely gorgeous.
Is the Chainfire CF auto root the way to go?
Again... Thanks.

Is it the wifi version? Sm-t800? There is a thread on safe apps to delete but someone said it bricked their tablet doing so. Just know what your deleting and it should be fine. There is one debloated rom but the developer has been really busy so he cant fix some bugs. If you have the supported version for cf auto root, then thats the way to root. Before rooting though, please wait till you root as it will viod your warrenty. Wait like a couple weeks incase you have a deffective device. Reports of bad battery happened on this tablet becuase of a loose battery connector. You should get about 8hours screen on time, so if you dont get that much battery life then it might be deffective. Anyway if everything is good root with cfautoroot. I cant wait till we get Andriod L though! And enjoy your tab s.!

For me I dont use quick boot. But i have a custom reboot menu and it should be the same. Rebooting into recovery works with an app but rebooting into download mode with the app doesnt work. You have to do it with the vol down, home, power buttons at the same time when your turning your tab s on. And yeah custom recoveries are easy to install now. As long you have root, it just replaces a recovery file and done.

That's crazy. I've never seen that before where you don't have to flash twrp in Odin on a Samsung device. Crazy.
Do you know if quick boot app works to reboot into recovery or download mode

Good thing about Flashify is it allows you to make a backup of the stock recovery.

Thank you sir. Looking forward to it. Does this tablet suffer from the non reading sdcard bc of Kitkat? I read that there is an app fix for it? I'm currently looking for a good SanDisk card deal. I bought the 32gb version so a 32gb card should suffice
if your gonna but a tab s 10.5 soon see this. While its a semi loop hole and ymmv, I was the buyer and they had no problem reducing the price on a brand new tab

I've been messing heavily with my new S6 Edge (Rooting, Removing System Apps, etc), and have caused myself some issues. I wanted to restore the Firmware, but Kies would not do it last night. But now, this afternoon, it is allowing it. I'm installing right now and it appears to be going smoothly.
Just a heads up for anyone that was trying before and could not get it to go.
I'll report back if I have any issues.

UPDATE: It went perfectly smooth. Now I'm back to Stock Firmware with Stock Recovery.

It doesn't work for me yet. did you enter download mode before connecting to Kies? what version of Kies do you have? mine is 3.2.15041_2
I entered download mode when it asked me to. Also Kies 3.2
I also got that message, but it will go through anyways. At least it did for me. I left that message in the background till it finished.
Initial Update when you Open Box is Included in this method
I just noticed that the update you get when you first turn on your phone is pre-built into this update method. I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that my phone feels blazing fast now as opposed to when I first got it. And, it's not near as HOT as it was.
Here is my current version for comparison. Not sure if it's the same as that updated file we got when first turned on as I didn't make a note of the version numbers.
Just curious, was the phone staying awake at all times after you rooted it? Mine is, and I noticed today after my second Edge came in that rooting appears to be the cause.

No, but I did find the battery life to be HORRIBLE! Now, with this Firmware Recovery, the battery is lasting longer than it has since I got it. I'm finally really enjoying the phone. When it was new, battery life was very dismal and it got really hot regularly. Now it feels like a normal phone, but FAST.
Yep, my battery life was horrible after rooting as well - I found out and now I'm almost 100% positive that when you root it the system doesn't deep sleep properly. I was able to confirm on a second phone that it does deep sleep at all times up until rooting. Afterwards it just refuses to enter deep sleep.
good to see a restore works, but I don't think I will root until TWRP comes out for this guy.
phone is running just fine now..
My device won't boot even with the 920 root method. And kids says my serial n is no good?
Tell your kids to mind their own business.
Hehe, just kidding.
What serial are you using? It needs to be the one from Settings/About/Status near the bottom of that screen. Try again, making sure you've got model and serial exact. I had it complain on me a couple times. Was a mistype on my part. Not sure if case matters, but maybe try all upper case.

nice work :good:
Hi there,
I finished the process "Software Update and Initialization" via SS but my it looks like my phone has the same settings and apps as before and was not "wiped" or initialised to factory.
Does this mean it actually was not successful or did the process actually automatically restore my backup while I looked away?
The phone definitely seems snappier though ...
Thx

This is a fabulous rom please discuss any issues and questions here...
I'll start...
I came from sac 23 note 5 hybrid rom and using Antutu I was getting avg 70,000 score
With this rom best I've managed is 65,000
If I didn't feel a difference it wouldn't matter. But I definitely feel this is running a little slower
Any advice? I had both with same setup and apps
I'm using the zerolemon kernel (beast mode?)
Update. I ran antutu again and got my highest score yet so ...with no one else mentioning it seeming slower it seems it just maybe chrome beta.
I played with synapse and rom toolbox etc for kernel CPU tweaks before but really don't want to break anything or sacrifice any more battery life. So now my question is. Should I have not removed the stock chrome app that came with this rom? Did this break something or was that version tweaked specifically for this rom? I will to reinstall chrome beta and see if it preforms better.
Update... I think it is just xda being slow ?driving me nuts
Another question I have is about the launcher install via aroma(ive never had a aroma installed rom so that was a treat. Thanks tx)
I use smart launcher. can I reflash zip and remove the stock launcher to save some ram? Any suggestions on which of those uses the least resources running behind smart launcher? could I go back and run the stock launcher In easy mode to save resources?
People are mentioning camera modes they would like to download and I read that if you try to download them normally you will end up with the note5 versions which will not work.
If we rename the device back to sm-n910p in build prop would that help? Would it hurt anything else?
Dual camera mode apk hasn't been available anywhere in stuff that was already shared, does anyone have it?

I went into camera>modes>download aND saw thedual camera mode. I remember having that on my note2. Anyways I changed my device to sm-n910p in build prop and did that again and it(dual camera mode) no longer comes up in the Samsung store. I will try to download a mode and test now. I know this doesn't help you with the dual camera apk but maybe it will help someone else find an answer.
Update: install failed on any downloaded camera mode from samsung

Question regarding Coming from Ultimate to MOAR
Hello to all. I am on Ultimate Note 5 Hybrid. My question is , do I have to do the suggested ok1 steps. The reason I ask is that I am using smart switch to back up as much as I can and is says I am On "OK3 (XAS)". Am I god to go if I just wipe and format? I understand I have to do the battery pull. But the Calls, Data and GPS has me a little concerned. I had no issues at all on Ultimate Note 5 Port. NONE.
Blessings and thank you in advance for your replies.

What apps are running and how many installed when you run Antutu? I was able to get a score of 68,581 on mine with first run, MOAR 2.1A BEASTMODE kernel with only some MOAR UI tweaks and few programs running.

It is always best to follow OP exactly. If it is required to be on OK1 you need to update to OK1. If you do not, you will surely run into many unnecessary problems.
All apps closed and greenified only system apps I. Background and I debloat all I can. Ive since gotten 73000. Just a glitch perhaps. I'm on 2.1b beast mode zerolemon
I have noticed my camera doesn't work on low power when it is supposed to. Anyone else?
Good to go

On Tx's rooted PD1 Rom. Is an MM version of this rom in the works? I am tempted to try this one, in the mean time.
What would be the steps to get on to it? Can I flash OK from MM? Would a newer version of Odin than mentioned in the OP work? How about a newer version of TWRP?
Would I need to Odin the OK version of Lollipop, or just the Baseband and firmware I have seen floating around?
For future reference, do you Odin them, or can you flash them in recovery?
If I flash back to the older stock rom, and then flash this rom, how do I get rooted again? Does this rom Self root? Would I have to use odin to reinstall TWRP? Then flash supersu in recovery?
So many questions. This rom looks so configurable and retains the multiwindow, TW stuff. I am dying to flash something new.
TIA for response!

Hope that helps. PE1 pre-rooted by tx_dbs_tx and debloated of Play Store install-able apps. Post #27 tells you he MAY make a MOAR port for MM. Post #45 states he IS working on a new N5/S7 port. Post #57 explains WHY following his instructions in OP is so important. His post on #145 confirms he is working on an N5 port, a N5/S7 port, and a MOAR 3.3 ROM. *Tips hat to tx_dbs_tx
I apologize if I came off rude in my response, that was not my intentions. I was just pointing you in the right direction to address your questions.
As for your questions about going back to OK1, you can flash the baseband and firmware through Odin - but if you are going to Odin in reverse, why not the whole tar is my question. Freeza is the one who provided us the basebands and firmware *Tips hat to Freeza
If you Odin the whole tar, you would have to Odin TWRP again and then you can either flash a custom ROM or flash SuperSU *Tips hat to Chainfire
Tx_dbs_tx's ROMs are pre-rooted though, so if you Odin the firmware and baseband for OK1 by Freeza, you could then just flash this ROM over it. I wouldn't recommend a dirty flash, however, because Lollipop and MM are SO different you could run into some issues.
Thanks for the response and all the info.
I got the Note 4 as a replacement when my N3 broke.
Was on an HTC EVO of some flavor, a while back. We were happily mixing and matching various components of updates until we got a nasty surprise with bricks. I can't remember the details, Just had to be careful and make sure what we were doing. So, now I am careful.

The best thing about Samsung, in my opinion, is it is VERY hard to brick them. You would literally have to Odin the completely incorrect ROM for it to brick - or so has been my experience. I love my note 4 and probably won't be changing it until it dies completely and there are no replacements.

I went ahead and went through the process. Was in a boot loop when I got through with flashing OK1. Wen't into the stock recovery and did a factory reset and did the odin thing again. think I used the wrong slot. It worked anyway.
followed the op, step by step. Made a backup in recovery as soon as I got it booted, Been setting it up to taste, all seems to be working as advertised,so far!
Thanks for the extra confirmation!
**You can begin the following process from any Build but you must already have Root Access**
**Required** [root] FlashFire
Download:
- G930A_PF2_Stock_DeOdexed_Debloated_ROM.zip
1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).
2. Open the FlashFire app, grant root access, and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.
3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.
4. Press "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Use the default settings under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue.
5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and set "Reboot" to "Download."
6. Press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the flash . The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. FlashFire will pause for about 1 minute while flashing the "system" partition.
7. Once the flash is complete and the device reboots into "Download" mode, flash the G930A_PF2_Stock_Modem_Recovery_Bootloader using Odin's AP slot. The device will take 10 - 15 mins for the first boot!
8. To regain root access, re-run "root.bat" once the device has fully rebooted. Make certain usb debugging is enabled. Enjoy!
Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. The above process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Bootloader, and Stock Recovery.
3. The ROM will automatically wipe all User Data!
4. Follow this guide if you do not already have root access: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-...g935a-t3410538
Will it work for g935a? And does it fix lag?

I think I am. It's either this Rom or the eng bootloader, but it runs hotter. It's running in interactive governor but cpu temperature is averaging idle at 45°c whereas on stock it felt much cooler. Something about this installation is causing this thing to heat up.

Okay, I figured it out guys.
After flashing, rooting, and starting to set it up, you will probably notice it feels a bit sluggish and runs hot, even after correcting the CPU governor to Interactive.
I believe I found the fix over in the Verizon S7 area.
Head to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=67605246
And follow the directions in the Recommended Next Steps section. I flashed the Fix and Debloater zip, and my phone is now fast and running very cool.

Ok thank you. Figured so but just wanted to make sure. I'm downloading the Rom now. Glad you found the fix and debloat from the Verizon thread, I seen that the other day and used it and his other guide on how to set up Greenify and amplify. My phone is running awesome on the stock rooted but I always like to grab muniz's deodex versions and run them.
Also, if you want to get rid of the Custom icon on boot and reset it to Official in status, use the XTouchWiz xposed module.

" To regain root access, re-run "root.bat" once the device has fully rebooted. Make certain usb debugging is enabled. Enjoy! " is copy pasted from the OP so that would imply that it isn't rooted until you root it, as for why you would want a deodexed Rom (which is a performance hit) without root is beyond me. From what I gather reading this short thread you will need root and possibly even xposed to get it running right. In order to do that you would have to do some more reading. Hope this helps.
