The Verizon S7 Edge zip to fix data on this build has a lot more in it than just a build.prop edit

Nope

Thanks for posting, gonna diff this with stock to see if we can't get the device properly activated after rooting

Because you can flash roms with FlashFire

Custom kernels, nope since they need to be signed. Custom Roms: yes. I can personally tell you that there is at least 1 in the works ;)

They're carrier unlocked not bootloader unlocked Two very different things

I've definitely considered it because I wrote up some rough steps back when I did it but I'd need to revise it to what the affected files are/look like now

Same, I did it back when it first came out on the S5 (to S3)

It's possible. Definitely not easy (there are ~10 files that need modifications), but I ported it to the S3 back when it originally came out S5. It's a lot of copy pasting more than modifying existing smali honestly

That's not exactly how it works, his aboot wasn't modified in the process. He simply flashed a signed kernel created for internal use that gives you slightly more control over the system.

It's an engineering boot.img (kernel+some init scripts), not aboot (bootloader). Flashing it won't let you flash unsigned images. We need an engineering aboot for that. The good news is that since a boot.img was leaked, chances are the aboot could get leaked too

It's not just about the question. The point is that these exploits are seen as security concerns so there is a big chance they can and will get patched in an update. And yes, manufacturers usually have methods in place to force a patch if it's a big enough hole. But regardless of that, there's...

Why would you post something that you didn't even test yourself? That's incredibly short-sighted and dangerous, especially when people are going crazy over trying to get root and all these "devs" popping up claiming they found a way to get root privileges. You're just asking for someone to break...
