don't install that update. It will update your bootloader and you won't be able to get root access again. Look at my previous post.

Xposed framework on rooted CRI1

I successfully applied this rom and have gained root per thread instructions. I've been reading up on Xposed and understand only a few of the benefits that can be achieved by installing this; what are the some of the more important reasons people put this software on their rooted devices and in relation to this particular ROM/root method, what is the preferred procedure in installing Xposed, in my case, rooted CRI1 [Oreo] Verizon rom.

I would like to remove Root Control and bring back icons for SuperSU and the other 3 apps under "useful apps". How have those 4 apps been hidden, I can't bring them back no matter what I do!

Those are modified apps and thats why they are controlled by the rom control apps too keep people like your self from going rouge and installing stuff that will hurt your phone. The regular su app will bootloop your phone the regular flashfire app it just won’t work and the other apps have modified scripts to work with the s7 root

Haha, fair enough. Thanks for the quick reply!
 
Quick question, could you install magisk with this considering you can get into twrp? I think no because I believe magisk uses the boot partition to be systemless and that is still locked and can't be unlocked. But if you tried to install it would anything happen, or would the boot process just overwrite it and nothing would happen?

Beware If you update V9 or higher bootloader then rooting and everything will not work. You will be stuck on stock possibly for good

What if my bootloader version is just the letter A?

I downloaded the G930VVRS4CRI1_G930VVZW4CRI1_VZW_Verizon_USA_v8.0_Oreo.zip this morning and saw it contains the same 5 files as the firmware available on sammobile.com. I gathered from posts within this thread that previous firmware zip files contained the U firmware modems file. Is there any benefit to using the U modem file in place of the VZW modem file?

Never mind, I see I have the U modem.

You can use a shortcut app lick Quick Shortcut Maker, search for SuperUser or SuperSU, then make a shortcut onto your desktop. ;)


@jrkruse
If you ever get bored try to make a pre-rooted rom/safestrap recovery (course no bootloader unlock) for the G930U/G935U with the latest firmware UUESACSI1 (Aug 27 2019), since it looks like Samsung has stopped updating this phone, or better yet a root-patcher for a stock sytem.img like you did for the G950/N950. I have uploaded the latest eng-boot vA/10 here: https://xdaforums.com/sho...postcount=1826

I tried flashing the root file in Odin, it fails and I get this message on the phone:

SW REV CHECK FAIL: [boot]Fused 11 > Binary 1
here's my info:
  • Phone: Galaxy S7 (ATT)
  • Current ROM: 8.0.0 / R16NW / G930UUESBCTA3
  • Flash app: Odin 3.13.1
  • Flash File: AP_ROOT_G930_OREO.tar (in the AP slot)
I think it originally had a G930A ROM, but I might have replaced it a while ago with a G930U.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

This just means that you're on the latest revision of the bootloader which is locked. I'm in the same predicament, but the only rootable devices at this point are those that are on bootloader version 8 or earlier. If someone leaks the engineering boot for Version 11, then let me know, but as far as I know, it has not happened yet.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I read that the bootloader is locked but now I see that you're still able to open twrp on it. So why has no one tried to port or flash custom roms like LineageOS?
