Hi, I am compiling this guide for rooting the verizon variant. I also hope to fill in some gaps in the other guides.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS YOU MAY CAUSE OR ENCOUNTER
I did not develop this, I'm only telling you how to do it.
Verizon S7 / S7 Edge [Root Guide] SM-G930V SM-G935V
This worked for me on the June Security patch!
Needed tools:
Mod edit: DevHost links removed
SUPER SU (Note Use this one, Play store varient may cause issues)
**THIS WILL NOT FACTORY RESET THE PHONE... BUT BACKUP JUST INCASE**
Flashing the ENG BOOT:
Open Odin
Put S7 in Download Mode(shut of phone then; hold: power, home, volume down; Then press volume up to enter downlod mode)
In Odin click the AP button and select the TAR: SM-G930 ENG BOOT Or SM-G935 ENG BOOT
check the AP check box
Flash the AP TAR
**THIS TOOK ONLY 5 SECONDS TO FLASH FOR ME THEN IT REBOOTED**
INSTALLING ROOT ACCESS:
Unzip the SuperSU zip file into a folder(For me C:\rootS7 )
Next download & unzip the tools.zip attached this is just the adb tools(Took me forever to find just these )
Move adb.exe and both DLL in tools.zip into your folder... ie C:\rootS7
Enable USB Debugging in developer options on Phone.
Connect phone and double click root.bat in your folder.
Once finished your phone will reboot
Congrats you have ROOT!!!

reboot
Odin won't Flash right:
Check that you are in download mode
If you are Factory reset then try again.
Phone is running hot:
I have not found an official solution: But you can try coolify or cpuset
Thanks!
Was the overheating issues solved from doing a FDR after the Odin flash? That's what I've read in other posts but wanted to double-check that this was the fix on the Verizon variants.
There are also some things that you can include to fix some of the bugs.
I redid my current post to reflect some new information.
If you download some type of CPU or Kernel editor you can fix the slow/lag of the phone.
Thanks 2swizzle for mentioning this.
If you want to fix the lag/slowness download any CPU or Kernel Editor or changer.
This one works fine: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor&hl=en
To fix the lag
Open up the APP
Go into the CPU settings
Set CPU Governor to ondemand
Apply on boot (You don't have to.)
You will notice that the phone runs fast as ever.
Will this process work on the Tracfone G930VL variant? I've heard that it's a variant of the Verizon model, but I'm not sure if the exact same process will work here.
Just did this myself. Root works fine, and I even got Xposed installed using FlashFire.
A few bugs, though:
1. The WiFi one (easily fixed)
2. A weird VoLTE icon in the status bar
3. Phone shows "Searching for Service" for a few minutes after reboot, even though service is already acquired and working while it's displaying this
4. And the biggest one: CPU governor is set to performance by default, which oddly enough causes the phone to lag like crazy and heat up to ridiculous temps. This is fixed by setting the CPU governor in Kernel Auditor, but still pretty annoying. Hopefully this can be more permanently fixed at some point.
Other than those few things, though, it's working well!

Sorry for the newbish question, but could you give me a step by step of how you installed xposed with flashfire? xD
This is great news, now all we need to do is get a way to enable samsung pay to still work while rooted.
Thanks to those who put a lot of time into finding a root method!

@Linooneguy In a perfect World Yes... Since the bootloader is locked it is nearly impossible to hard brick. Thus Give it a shot, worst comes to worst Factory reset. Good Luck:good:
BE SURE TO BACKUP
Setting the CPU governor to ondemand should fix both the lag and heat of the phone.

What I did:
1. Install Xposed APK
2. Flashed the following xposed framework with flashfire using the default settings.
3. Done
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572330218881466
I found a link to that particular xposed version in another thread and it worked perfectly for me. Knox is still good and everything.
I followed the steps and ended up getting a pop-up that wants me to restart because of a security issue says dm-verity verification failed error in recovery, any work around i tried re-downloading and reflashing three times

Disable SecurityLogAgent to get rid of the warning. I also have a bug, I cannot seem to change from charging when connecting the usb to my computer. It was working fine before root, and I have tried starting completly over by flashing the original Verizon files in odin before rooting.
Glad to see root established though I like having Samsung Pay. Not sure I want to part with it just yet. Also, am I to understand one has to re-root upon every reboot?
Does the hotspot work ?

How do you disable it, I couldn't find it in settings and when I found it in the application manager disable is greyed out
Anyone get past the "Searching for Service" issue?
I have to make a phone call to activate my phone after every reboot. Data always works but phone/sms doesn't.
Does everything work ok with the vr after rooting the device?

I have spent hours trying to figure out how to get Viper4Android working on my moto X pure edition 2015. There is only one thread in the internet discusses this subject http://bit.ly/1j1Gal7 . I tried all the suggested methods in that thread. But none really worked. The results are V4A works only under compatible mode or works but some features are disabled or doesn't work at all.
I even tried some methods suggested for other lollipop phones with the same results.
After lots of trial and error, I finally found a way to have V4A working perfectly on my MXPE under normal mode with all options enabled.
Note: before we start, I assume that you have not messed up the system files on your MXPE. If you have, uninstall any version of V4A on your phone and completely remove any trace of it. Try your best to revert any modifications in the system files done by other methods you have tried.
Important: before you start, take nandroid backup in case something goes wrong.
Let's get down to business:
1- Disable "Audio Effects" using Apps in Setting or Titanium Backup
Reboot
2- Change SELinux to permissive mode using SELinuxModeChanger app
Reboot
3- In Developer options enable "Use AwesomePlayer (deprecated)"
Reboot
4- Install busybox using this app https://goo.gl/tUIwfj Don't use smart install. Just use the normal install
Reboot
5- Use TRWP to flash the following 3 files in the same order:
V4A_MXP.zip
Viper4A_Soundfix_LibFiles.zip
Viper4A_Build_Prop_Tweaks.zip
Wipe cache & davik cache and reboot
6- Open V4A and install the drivers and reboot
7- By now you should have a working V4A under normal mode but without neon support. Continue with next steps to fix this
8- Open V4A and uninstall drivers and reboot
9- We want now to uninstall V4A but since it's installed as a system app, we need a special app to do this. I used Titanium Backup
Reboot
10- Install the normal Viper4Android apk not the zip Must be installed as a user app not a system app
11- Open V4A and install the drivers. I chose the Power Saving but you can go with Super Audio Quality if you want
Reboot
Congratulation... You have now a perfectly working V4A on your moto X PE/Style 2015 with all the options enabled under normal mode
Glad you took the time to dive into this. In the middle of closing on a house also previous 2 phones were defective. so I didn't time to dive in. Currently using xtreme music mod flawlessly. Will definitely use this on next clean flash. Any issues between stock or cm running using same method. Thanks for your hard work.
Edit... forgot to mention that I'm op from viper confirmed thread.
works great thanks for you time and also to share it with us

I got it to work a while ago by flashing xtreme music mod but first I installed v4a from their website,installed driver, then flashed xtreme music mod. So I had both and then I disabled v4a from the apk. And kept the one from xtreme music mod and works under normal mode.
But v4a on this phone has issue like gets lost somewhere in ram because sometimes effects are not that strong after I reboot they are stronger.

Got it working, but seems to partially break aux when connecting to a car need to plug in really slow to get it to work (been the same for every V4a I've tried) Thanks for the work.
I have flashed as suggested. Works fine.
I just moved from stock to AICP and this did not work to enable neon but xtrememusic mod won't enable neon as well (did work on stock)
However even with neon off under normal mode I don't see any difference in quality. Maybe it's just me.

Tested on stock rom. Not sure about other roms.
Pretty crazy all the hoops to go through to get it working but you're the man...it works. Thanks
Works part of the time using it in my car on audio jack. When listening via Google Play Music, it won't be active and then suddenly the volume drops like a notification is coming through and it pops back up and I can tell that Viper became active. Strange. Followed all the steps to the letter. Even checked 'force Viper' when I noticed this happening and no change, still does it. On stock rom, unlocked.
Somebody try to run this process on MM?

I am on MM, rooted. I do not have any eq settings in sound / notification is that normal? Also in Dev options, Use Awesome player (depricated) is not there.
Going to attempt install anyway and see how it goes.

This works great. Thanks!
For anyone having issues with Viper sometimes, and opening the Viper app fixes it, a tasker profile should fix it.
I put a task to run the following shell command whenever my headphones or bluetooth stereo are connected:
am startservice com.vipercn.viper4android_v2/.service.ViPER4AndroidService
Might need to run as root.. not sure.
Also, using App Settings with Xposed and checking Resident should keep it from being killed from memory.
You can find the Lollipop version for App Settings here.
I just flashed xtrememusic mod and to my surprise out of the box neon is not enabled. That would be easiest way to do it. So far everything is good.

much for simplified process
Have an extremely simplified process I have discovered that is at least working on my TruePureX 2.2 install (so Marshmallow deodexed ROM). This method has the MAJOR benefit of leaving SELinux in enforcing, that's what the 4th zip I have added to the process accomplishes! This fix was created by a user named maximumentropy. His original post is here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61242973&postcount=18854
This script requires the use of SuperSU as your root solution so be sure you have root established with it before continuing (not tested on systemless root)
*Note* Because of this fix it is also possible to leave Viper4Android as system app and it will asked you to install the driver of your choice immediately after flashing it the FIRST time. Saving tons of restarts. Also we can skip enabling awesomeplay as well. (not even possible on Marshmallow from what I gather anyhow)
So without further delay. Here is the updated process
1. Disable "Audio Effects" using Apps in Setting or Titanium Backup. No need to restart
2. Install busybox using the app "busybox" from play store. consider a purchase just to support the dev. Do not use smart install!
NOW Reboot to recovery
3. Use TRWP to flash or sideload the following 4 files in the following order:
a. V4A_MXP.zip http://bit.ly/1O8Mker
b. Viper4A_Soundfix_LibFiles.zip http://bit.ly/1MdLInf
c. Viper4A_Build_Prop_Tweaks.zip http://bit.ly/1NSCCid
d. ViPER4Android-supolicy.zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/k9cnruw2e1t1d4t/ViPER4Android-supolicy.zip?dl=0
Now... wipe just cache (no need to wipe dalvik, takes too long and not needed) and reboot
4. Now Viper4Android will be installed as system app so open it up. Be sure to grant it Root permission via SuperSU prompt, it will ask you which driver you would like to install. Select one of the 3 options I personally use "Super Audio Quality"
Reboot one more time and viola
You now have a fully functional Viper4Android and you have not compromised your kernel security by changing SELinux policy. Again we can avoid the messiness of uninstalling the system app and reinstalling as user app this way saving time. This is fully functional including NEON support!!!
I hope this simplifies the process for everyone, certainly alot quicker this way! If OP would like to update the first post please feel free.
Unlocking, rooting, relocking and unrooting simplified! (and much more!)
VERSION 2.1.4 - This program will automatically bring together all the files you need to unlock and root your device in a few clicks, or flash it back to stock and re-lock it. You can also use this program to backup/restore all your important data, flash zips, set file permissions, push and pull files, install apps, generate logcats/bugreports, and much more! With the included file association options, you can perform tasks like flashing zips, installing apps, restoring android backup files, and flashing/booting img files with just a double click! The program includes a full featured interface for automating tasks in TWRP, enhanced restore features, an in-built auto-updater/notification system, ‘any build’ mode, advanced restore features,’NRT- Live Log’ for viewing the adb/fastboot cmds that are run in the background, quick tools utilities, and tools for taking screenshots/screen-recordings. All the latest official Android builds and Nexus devices are supported. The program intelligently and selectively downloads the files it needs for your device and makes sure you are using the latest files available. The program can even auto-detect your device and build. This release brings full Marshmallow root support plus all automated features by utilizing a new system that no longer requires modified boot.imgs. Check out the updated changelog for a more comprehensive breakdown of the feature set and changes in this release.
~ my goal for this project is make the entire process as smooth and simple as possible ~

Love your NRT on the Nmmexus 6. Glad you're here. Makes life a lot easier
I couldn't install busybox as mentioned in the instructions provided for "rooting", it's the last step (confirmation for root). It prompted me to change installation directory but system/bin doesn't work as well. And i can't boot recovery as well after the whole rooting process. It just shows me a dead android there
edit: i may have download stock recovery as well, as prompted by your toolkit after rooting.
#2 edit: reflashed twrp to solve my problems, but you may want to mention something to prevent something like that from happening again. Or maybe i'm just dumb
#3 edit: so sorry, it seems that the busybox provided was outdated, update it from playstore and installation will be good to go

If you tried to install busybox right after you root your phone, as what the Root toolkit tells you to, it will not work like mine. That's because it's outdated. So just go to play store and update that app first before you reinstall any other app. I presume you rooted your device right after you unlock your bootloader which factory resets your device.
I have issue gaining write access to /system, busybox can't install to system/bin or system/xbin, had to install busybox through recovery.
also no /system write access through adb shell, it says system file read only

Not yet, still waiting ;(
I'm also facing the same issue, can't install busy box. It force closes after it fails to install. I tried updating to 124.1 but that didn't work, I also uninstalled and installed again from the playstore but that didn't work.
I also can't reboot into TWRP, unless I reboot through the NRT updater.
If I try to reboot normally without the updater, then I get the red warning message saying my phone is corrupt, followed by the green android robot with a red warning triangle coining out of it's stomach.
I'm running MDB08L
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Install notes:
In options menu disable installing busybox, install busybox from play store after root process.
After root, Flashboot Flash Recovery in Advanced Utilities.
I have had no problems after using these steps.
I followed the steps above and busybox still wouldn't install so I found a 1.24.1 flashable zip flashed it and it worked . just another option to try if all others are not working
Does the "Restore: Flash Stock + Unroot" option completely wipe any trace of unlocking, rooting so that the phone could be sent to Google for repair. (I'm just asking, in case my screen breaks)

Guys here is a flashable zip. It's busybox 1.24.1 permissive. It's works 100% for me many times. If anyone wants 1.24.1 SElinux just let me know and I'll upload it

I just tried flashing this file (through twrp right?). It doesn't look like it worked through TWRP I got an "Updated process ended with error=1, error flashing 1.24.1.zip", and busybox is still not present on the phone when I restarted it. I tried downloading it from the play store directly and it still gives me the "it looks like it was not installed successfully" error message. Should I be flashing this file some other way? Thanks in advance!
Okay, I am sure a lot of you already know how to do this to your Pixel. Some of us do not, and I was one of them. I am the standard noob that just followed Youtube videos to unlock previous carrier locked phones. I am now enjoying this Google Pixel that is unlocked!
So if you are reading this thread, hopefully there isn't another one just like this (yes I looked).
To start off, if you are in here reading this, you have unlocked your bootloader and installed a custom recovery such as TWRP and rooted. Now you are seeing that you need to update your phone with the latest security patch. You try and you try and you can't do it. Even when you unroot it will still fail to update, or at least it did for me. Here I will explain what I went through and did to obtain the latest update. (Warning, you will loose root and custom recovery). THIS IS INTENDED FOR THE GOOGLE STORE PURCHASED PHONES
Lets get this started finally.....
Go into your developer options and enable usb debugging.
Download the newly released package file from google that has fastboot and ADB without needing android SDK.
DOWNLOAD or read about it HERE
Now you will need to download the Factory Image for you device
Find your correct device HERE
Make sure you choose the correct device and correct update, for me I downloaded the "7.1.1 (NMF26U, Jan 2017)" for my Pixel. Also a USA phone.
So now you have the adb fastboot binary package and your factory image. You will need to extract the platform-tools-latest-windows.zip and open the folder and you will see another folder, open it and now you will see a bunch of files. Now open another window and extract your factory image. Once it is done, open the folder until you see the files. Now copy these into the Platform tools folder in the directory with the fastboot.
Once this is done your folder should look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now you will want to right click "flash-all" and click edit. It will open notepad and show the contents of the batch file. You can hit Ctrl+F and type in -w in the search and hit okay, or you can look for it without search (it is near the bottom). Once you find it, just delete the "-w" and save the file. Make sure to keep it as the batch file or this won't work.
Once this is done, in the folder that is shown above, click a blank area in the folder so no file is highlighted. Now hold shift and right click, it will come up with a dialog saying open command window here, click that.
Now we are going to reboot the phone into bootloader mode. In the command window, type everything that is underlined below
adb reboot bootloader
Now your phone should have booted into the bootloader screen or it should be asking for USB rights to use adb. If it asks for permission, hit okay and re run the code above and your phone should reboot.
Once you are in the bootloader screen you will need to do is run the flash-all.bat. It will load and go though some text on the CMD window it brings up. It will say some files are missing, which is fine. But if it fails it will tell you that it did. You can also tell by rebooting the phone or click "start" in the bootloader mode and then checking for OTA updates. It should say January 5th patch installed.
Now you can go through and install your custom recovery again and re root. Which takes no time at all and I am sure someone on here has posted before. If not, let me know and I can make a tutorial over it.
Note: I am very sorry for the bad layout and extended write up. First time ever doing this and I am hoping to help people. If there are any errors, let me know!
All of this is already well known and documented. It is device molding 101

Not a problem ?
I know you say this is for the GPS version, but has anyone tried it on Verizon? I'm not sure if the firmware is the same on both phones, so I don't want to soft-brick by downloading the Google version if they're different. Same boat as you were, OTA fails even after unrooting.

As long as you never re-lock your bootloader, the process is the same. There's no more separate Verizon images, just USA and international.
This is really complicated. ADB side load the OTA file, reinstall TWRP and root, done.
Good work. This is a very minute stuff of removing -w from the batch file. Very handy work.

Do you need to reflash stock kernel before removing root/TWRP before flashing?

Flashing the image overwrites anything you customized besides the regular user data and internal storage (with the -w removed). You don't have to remove or reflash anything else before following these instructions.

I couldn't side load the update.. TWRP would not load the side load feature.
I'm having an issue also: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/help/sideload-ota-t3534926... Can we just unroot, take the OTA and then reroot?

Even when I un rooted mine. I was still failing to get the update.
If you made any changes the the system partition then it will fail and simply unrooting doesn't make the all the changes needed. So if OTA mean anything to you then I would suggest not messing with your device as there is Jo promise that after an OTA you will be able to root again tonight away

I know the past 2 were the same for google pixel and Verizon pixel but I wouldn't assume they are always going to be. I'm sure some of them will be specific at times whenever Verizon decides they wanna mess with them
FYI, I was able to sideload after updating TWRP to RC1, but now SuperSU 2.79 will install from within TWRP but when the phone restarts SuperSU is not installed... not sure if we have to wait until a new version of SuperSU is released.

Ok, I have a problem with the adb, I tried many times but it still freezing and my cellphone screen too, I searched in the internet many ways to mount the system partition as read and write but all failed. Im thinking that the problem is the nougat version, I have the J1 and Im downloading the D1. Pst, the drivers and the cables are ok, I used another adb codes and they worked.
Seems like it only works on Qd1, so if have updated QI1 or QJ1, got to flash back to Qd1 to get it to work
...
I flashed DQD1 via Odin and after that, I flashed the .tar, but it still freezing my screen, I tried first without flashing the .tar because after flashing the firmware, the custom logo appeared. But again, the adb process failed, itsn freezed like the other but was unable to copy the su.img
---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------
I did the same process that you made, so, I don't know why this happen, can you please assist this?? The phone doesn't matter, I just want to prove if this really work. I'll be amazed if this really do.
I´m facing the same problem on my device as @NerdTronik , just frezes when try to remount system as rewritable.. No succes as yet and I'm on Qd1 with the same kernel version.. Dont know How you Got to succesfully Remounted the system..
Another one stuck scratching my head with the phone locking when the batch script gets to the first adb shell mount command. The flash to DQD1 (from here, all 4 files) went fine. Flashed the new boot image without issue, reboot reflects custom image. Enabled debugging, connected with ADB, but that mount would be the final thing that would occur. Hoping this is just something we need clarified in the instructions.
Ok for all of your problem tonight i will make a youtube video learn how to root with the proof of it ☺?
Thanks for the root! Tell me, after I get the root of what custom firmware I can put? I understand you only need the development of verizon?
I did a Google for the the boot image file name and came across this link:
http://www.techzai.com/eng-root-file-samsung-android-7-nougat/
NOTE: I accessed this via Google's cache, and with NoScript plugin in Firefox. The firewall I was accessing through blocked the site for a reason... unsure if that could be that it isn't safe, work just didn't want me going there during business, etc. Go at your own risk.
But one thing that was noted in those instructions was to not only enable USB Debugging, but to also enable OEM Unlock in the developer options.
The thread for the S7 (which I think would apply but we just need to use the later released S6 boot image) mentions disabling secure startup. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
Might have time to play around with this more during the coming weekend, but maybe @faw_wal or another member will get additional info before then.
Don't work in my phone

Oh nice, it's just seems impossible until somebody find the method to write in the system partition, in the thread you posted here, there was a man saying that we need to flash or do something before run root.bat, he didn't checked before but, sounds like a development.

BRING BACK A DEAD RCA TAB
Time to set the scene. I had a stock rca tab laying around so I found the thread to a discontinued project on here. I flashed the files and could not get it to boot again. Stuck in an awesome two dog logo. Yay. So after searching a couple days for the stock files I ran across someone comparing this tab to the Cube u25gt-c4y. What do I have to lose. I searched and found the stock files and bam! I had a chinese tablet. Surprisingly it works with just a few flaws. After flashing you will see a nvram error in the wifi. Easy fix. Adb seemed finicky at first but straightened itself out. Screen rotation is also 180 degrees out. You have to tilt it down and lock the rotation. Lastly you have to change the language to english because the default is chinese. Will be trying to get the gps and fm radio working soon.
Step 1.
Install Sp Flash Tool if you have not already. There are many posts on this so I wont repost them.
Step 2.
I used the "Format and Download All" option. I have read dont do it on some threads but I have seen others that said to.
If you want TWRP then rename the file to recovery.img and replace the one in the roms file.
Step 3.
Use Kingroot 4.96.apk and then grab the Super sume to replace the kingroot with SuperSu.
Installing SU from twrp when it asks works fine.
That should be it and now you have a working tab again.
As always USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! Nothing to risk though if your tab is already a brick.
Thank you to all the posts I searched to get my tab back working.

ADB FIX
So after installing this rom you may have a problem with the adb working. Originally I had this problem and I'm not exactly sure how I repaired it. I believe I had installed multiple "MTP Enabler" programs. After reinstalling I had the problem again and this time found the fix.
Code:
1. Open /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config and change to mtp,adb
2. Open /system/build.prop and add/edit these lines.
persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.service.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb
3. Reboot your phone and wait for the drivers to install. Enjoy.
Installed Wrong Preloader?
Luckily for us we can just open Sp Flash Tool with the correct files then push and hold the Power + Vol Up with the usb connected. After approximately 30seconds it should allow flashing.

Yes. So far I have found it's hard to kill this unit. I don't have the original firmware but have it working with this firmware where it is usable. Like I stated the worst thing is the screen rotation but all u have to do is lock rotation and it's fine.
Thanks for your response. I have two of the rca6773w22B I will give a try later And post later

What version is this Android OS?
Also: I can't have access to wifi.rar fix file. Where is it?
I am also looking around for stock rom RCT6773W22 (no additional letters or numbers)
I've installed all possible drivers for this tablet.
I physically inspected the USB charging port was not bent and (internally at circuit level) everything is connected, nothing is loose.
When the tablet is off, the device is not seen. But the screen of the tablet shows it is charging from the PC normally.
Windows 10, then proceeds to chime "device disconnected" sound.
If I turn on the tablet, I ask for ADB DEVICES and the tablet is not recognized at all. The tablet stays at logo boot loop.
Maybe I need to install something so the hardware of the tablet grants access to adb commands?
