Hello everyone, I first want to say thanks and sorry if I posted this in the incorrect section or if it's been discussed before. I want to learn how to make my own custom Rom for my Verizon Samsung Galaxy s7 edge snapdragon ( G935vvrs2apf2). I already have Tickle my android on my windows 10 laptop. If anyone could be nice enough to tell me how to get a stock rom (G935vvrs2apf2) so I can deoxde it and how to you extract it to star modification. Also what else do I need like software, tools, and a guide or how to would be nice. Also since my bootloader is locked how can I back up my rom so I can reflash it incase I mess something up. Thanks to all. I know it's not going to be easy but I rather try and fail than fail because I didn't try at all.

@orgulloso4202, FYI unless you are actively developing a ROM, kernel or recovery, you should not be posting in the development section. Please note the rules for posting in the development section stickied there. I've moved this to the Help section.
Cheers!
This is the best and advice I can give you. 1st you will need a linux machine with a build environment set up and SuperR's Kitchen. 2nd go to this section for any questions and info, there are quite a few helpful people there. I built a few ROMs but it's been a while and I'm not too good at giving directions. I only had partial success with the S7 and pretty much gave up. So there you have it go to the links, read and ask in there. It's your beset bet. I have firmware here you can download and build from. Good luck and have fun.

@Misterxtc do you know where I can get the new firmware for the Verizon s7 edge pg5? Thanks. Sammobile.com doesn't have it yet.

I managed to format my Galaxy Tab 10.1 in CWM and now it won't allow me to mount USB storage to transfer a ROM back to the device...
So I'm stuck in limbo, I can't boot. Can you upload and install a ROM through ODIN?
Any guides on how to get around this?
THANKS!

You can use ODIN and flash back to a stock Samsung ROM and then flash a custom ROM.
+1
had to do this myself for some reason. Just make sure the rom works with Odin and is for you country and version of the tab. can't remember why I started to have to do this but I made it worse before better using the wrong ROMs. So be specific about where you are and version of tab so people can help right the first time.

My bad.
It's Canadian - Wifi version 16GB. Purchased 3 weeks ago.
No problem. Just from tapatalk I can't see some info in sits and stuff. looks like you got some more knowledgeable help from another poster. I'm in the states so I'm not the helper you want. Not to mention I'm wireless only.
Best of luck. Let us know if you get it.

Hi guyz
Please don't get angry, I know its a stupid question but don't want to take any risk, as I live in India and I won't be able to do anything if the phone gets spoiled / bricked.
Which is the most easy way and reliable of rooting the device?
Links to respective threads will be highly appreciated..
Cheers

Some guides go into more detail about certain things than others but the procedure to unlock the bootloader and root that they all describe is basically the same.
Also take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010338
It provides a lot of good information and also gives a brief run down of some of the basic fastboot and ADB commands.
You can always use one of the toolkits to root your phone but to me it's better to do it manually. You get a better understanding of how everything works and you're better prepared to deal with any issues that might arise.

My son updated his phone last night with the OTA 4.3 update. He asked me to root it this morning, and it fails every time. It seems that Lookout is stopping it. I disabled lookout, but it seems to be integrated in the new software. I tried every method on this forum. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.

cf auto root works on rogers, but you'll trip the knox flag. if you dont use active sync (exchange) then you may not care. can still root and run custom recoveries on rogers. Just typed up a bunch of crap on knox, so not getting in to it again, but if I were you, i'd wait for a confirmed knox safe method.

Not sure on the Bluetooth issue, but if you use the mk2000 kernel you'll probably be good, shouldn't have any issues with Volte as long as you run a 918 rom and have a tmobile sim

Hey guys, I just received the devices in the mail just now. Can anyone confirm that the post created by Kish9046 is still the only accurate way to gain root? Both devices are H9180P. Also, I'm looking for a stable rom that has volte and, stock camera. I am aware that some roms do affect the camera quality. Any ideas, knowledge, or opinions are greatly appreciated.
