No. It's not too bad having to reflash the ROM. Flash the root kernel, run the root.bat, BACKUP EVERYTHING JUST IN CASE, then reflash the ROM without wiping data. If you are already running good on this same exact ROM, then there should be no issues keeping data, but it'll be a good thing to backup just in case.

So up intil a few weeks ago, my ads were completely blocked.
I thought it might be because of my host files and tried following the instructions in the OP;s second post and the ads are not blocked anymore :(

any solution? @CVertigo1, @jrkruse

@CVertigo1 , thank you for a fast reply.

I had followed the second post in this thread in regards to flashing the ENG boot, running the adblock script and then re-flashing the stock recovery file for BQD2.
This worked 95% of the time, with youtube sometimes throwing a 5 seconds add, and some game apps showing adds.

I just fixed this myself by rooting, installing the AP file and Zip through Flashfire, selecting wipe cache, cache format, and partition (NOT internal or 3rd apps) and after the Aroma installer, I chose DONT WIPE and installed the rom again but this time using Adaware (which I knew to work well)

-if I had done used adaware when i first installed this rom it would not let me sign into venmo and snapchat etc.

Anyone get Samsung Pay to work?
I get it to load but I get "Connection Error" when adding cards and trying to use Samsung Rewards.
I've tried uninstalling, re-installing , updating, not updating. Nothing seems to work.

Also, I'm on QE2

My Battle.net Authenticator is being blocked by adblock.
Can I edit the host or something?

I don't use Samsung Pay, so I don't know what could be causing the issue at the moment. I'd start with the adblocking, since that has caused numerous problems for people. Look at the second post in this thread for instructions, but you'll need to find/make a new boot_recovery_image for QE2. It might already be posted in this thread somewhere.
 
been running this ROM for a while, my friend wanted it, went to set it up on his phone, followed instruction exactly as i did before, and it just gets stuck in a bootloop. samsung galaxy s7 custom screen for a few seconds, blank screen briefly then repeats. we have the same phone, galaxy s7 verizon. IDK what to do, I have tried reinstalling several times, redownloading files, nothing seems to work. help. plz.

---------- Post added at 05:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 AM ----------

upon further inspection, I discovered I need to flash stock verizon QA4 then procede from step one, anyone know where I can find the download link?

Edit: found a download for it on Android file host. Followed steps setting up phone rn.

Idk if anybody knows, so I thought I would share, in my attempt to have a more Google pixel experience I wanted to have the Android O emoji's so I discovered that I could flash more zips after rom install in flashfire, just as long as I put it before the wipe, and it would work and pass safety net. Using the likes of Open Gapps Android O emoji's and iYTB Vanced.

I tried searching for a QE2 boot recovery and didn't find anything.
I also have no idea how to make one either.

Anyone able to help?

Thanks guys,
:good:

Why does firmware require flash every time flashing ROM?

Here you go @CVertigo1 I hope they work I cant test myself. If they do when you update OP I will remove this post
Do not use Package Disabler or Adhell with NoNaMe mods

I'm coming from a Nexus 6, where flashing a ROM meant booting into TWRP, wiping System/Dalvik/Cache, and then flashing a zip file of the new ROM.

So i'm confused why the firmware needs reflashed along with the ROM zip file EVERY TIME i want to reflash the zip?

Am i not able to install TWRP or some custom recovery and just wipe+flash zip?

Also, how do i get root onto this ROM permanently?
I assume these are the steps... please let me know if i miss any.

1. Use Odin to flash AP_Nougat_S7_Flat_EngBoot.tar.md5
2. Run root.bat inside Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2
3. Use Odin to flash AP_G930U_QE2_Boot_Recovery_Image.tar.md5

Not on the Verizon Samsung galaxy s7. As far as I know they do not have custom recovery for our phones yet.
@cvertigo,
I want to remove the data usage indicator on the left side of the status bar? How do I do that?

1. Use Odin to flash AP_Nougat_S7_Flat_EngBoot.tar.md5
2. Run root.bat inside Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2
3. Use Odin to flash AP_G930U_QE2_Boot_Recovery_Image.tar.md5

Well step 3 needs to be left out.
After i flashed that in Odin, i got errors from SU and couldn't get root access in AdAway.
Flashing back to AP_Nougat_S7_Flat_EngBoot.tar.md5 fixed the problem

    Yet again, all thanks go to @jrkruse for this one. I have modified his zip to work on the Verizon S7 flat. The ROM is silky smooth since it uses the factory kernel. The instructions have been tweaked to work for the Flat. I can confirm that SafetyNet passes using this method.

    A MASSIVE thanks goes to @hunteditor for this. I haven't been around XDA much these past few weeks and haven't made a new thread for the U-ROM. It has been long overdue. He took on the annoyance of modifying the instructions and download links to work.

    hunteditor said:
    People ask if they can root this Rom. The answer is yes, but why would you want to? You get all the benefits of rooting and still have official status. Plus, you get the outstanding battery life of a non-rooted S7.

    An Explanation of what this is. I have found a way to manipulate system files on a stock rom and not loose system official status. This Allows Samsung Pay and all safetynet checking apps to function. This Rom is not rooted just modified.

    S7 Nougat root kernel


    Install Instructions From Any Build:
    Warning: This will wipe your device. Some of these instructions are redundant, but they will ensure that everything goes as planned. If you don’t follow them to the T, don’t complain.

    1) Unzip G930UUEU4BQD2_G930UOYM4BQD2_VZW.zip. Boot the phone into download mode (volume down, home, and power) then flash all four files (BL, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC) with ODIN. The phone will reboot into recovery and throw an error. Reboot into download mode and reflash HOME_CSC again. – Thanks @thefirst__noel

    2) Don’t bother logging into any accounts, as the phone will get wiped again. Copy the FlashFire.apk, AP_G930UUEU4BQD2_CL10860000_QB13198947_REV02_user_ low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5, and UFirm_Multi_Carrier_Hybrid_NoNaMe_PlayStore_BS_Free_V14_VZWS7FLAT.zip to Internal Storage. – Thanks @appye

    3) Make sure secure boot is turned off!!! Shut off the phone and boot into download mode (volume down, home, and power). Flash the S7 Nougat root kernel in the AP slot in Odin.

    4) When the phone reboots, unlock developer options and enable USB debugging. Unzip the S7_SU_2_79_Root_Unroot_WO_Tweaks.zip and run root.bat from your PC. May need to right-click and run as administrator.

    5) Now install FlashFire. In FlashFire, select add Flash Firmware Package and choose AP_G930UUEU4BQD2_CL10860000_QB13198947_REV02_user_ low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5 and make sure all partitions are checked.

    Then add Flash Zip or OTA and choose UFirm_Multi_Carrier_Hybrid_NoNaMe_PlayStore_BS_Fre e_V14_VZWS7FLAT.zip and tap mount system when FlashFire asks.

    VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: MAKE SURE TO UNCHECK INJECT ROOT AFTER ADDING THE ZIP! – Thanks @dclutter1

    Click Add Wipe and choose Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache and choose Format Cache Also select wipe SuperSU image. Make sure wipe is at end of flash sequence. The sequence should be AP file first then Zip second and Wipe cache last.

    6) The phone will restart and FlashFire will flash the firmware first, then the Aroma Installer will start.

    7) In Aroma, select wipe ALL data (DO NOT KEEP SU) – See notes below.

    8) The phone will say custom status on first boot, but it goes away after setup and reboot.
    The phone may take up to 20 minutes to boot the first time, so be patient.
    If you reflash the ROM, you must flash the AP file in FlashFire at the same time.

    Notes:
    * Do not use Package Disabler Pro if you choose NoNaMe mods in Aroma.

    * If you are installing the S8 apps, you may run into force closes. Your best bet is to pull down on the notification panel, click the settings button, and go into applications and clear data for everything that is force closing. If you keep data, you may run into issues with Advanced Calling and other features. Keep data at your own risk. If you don’t wipe data, then please don’t post issues in the thread.

    * I was able to keep my settings and data by choosing keep data in Aroma and still passed SafetyNet. I can’t guarantee that this will work for everyone, but you can try if you want. This probably will not work if you are coming from MM. If you decide to take this route and have issues, do a full wipe and reinstall before posting any problems.

    * If you get constant application errors saying "IMS service has stopped" and "com.sec.epdg has stopped", boot into recovery using the Power+VolUp+Home combination. You will likely get a "No command" error screen. Let it on that screen (30-60 seconds) and it will eventually go into the recovery menu. Wipe data and cache in recovery. – thanks paul.miner

    I also modified the updater_script so that the BS Free section of the script will remove more of Google Apps, such as Photos, Hangout, but I kept the Camera plugins and the Gallery's photo editor and video playback, etc. I also sorted that section of the script by alphabetical, it was a pain to see what the script removes and keep when everything is out of order when going through the list. If anyone's interested of that updater_script, let me know.

    Another option / question: is it possible to flash the engineering kernel, root, remove additional bloat, unroot, flash proper kernel, and have apps like Samsung Pay continue to work happily?
    Supposedly you can do this, but there is as much better way to make it happen. Extract the updater-script from the ROM without unpacking the entire ROM. Then add/remove lines from the script as you want. Finally replace the existing updater-script with your modified script. Now you have everything you want removed or not removed from the ROM.
