Dual boot or multi rom? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello, I was searching the forum and Google and didn't really find much.
I was wondering if the S7E had the ability to dual boot Roms? The goal for me is to have a N7 port on another slot than my standard rom that I'm running. I have a 935F.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

+1....but i don't think will have such thing thanks to exynos chip

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I recall being able to do it on my Nexus. I also believe my s5 had the option. It's been awhile though.

me too i had this on my nexus 5.zperia z2 and even xiaomi redmi note 3 Pro but they all have in common a Qualcomm snapdragon chips

Yeah, too bad you can't do anything with the snapdragon on the S7E. I started out with a snapdragon, got so angry with it and traded it out for the 935F.

i have the exynos chip but what's wrong with SD chip
- tapatalked - from my VANTABLACK S7 EDGE

I also have exynos now. Nothing was "wrong" with it. I had a locked bootloader which limited the things I wanted to do. Trying to make Roms work the way I wanted was a PITA. Hence why I switched.

Dual boot is possible with Dual Boot Patcher on note 5 which I had before S7E , so that means it is possible for exynos chips but I don't know if our S7E is compatible with this app, as I decided not to root this time .

I'll test it out now and report back.
Thanks for the find!
Update: As of right now I cannot get it working. I get it to say "Switching rom" and then the rom stays the same. I will continue testing.

So, I tested it out and I was not able to get it to work. My initial problem was that aroma installers were not supported. I tried both TWRP and in app flashing. The error logs stated it failed to update the binary. I'm not a dev, nor do I pretend to be one so I have no idea how to fix that.

To get it working our device model must be supported and on the list of supported devices included in the app which I guess is not but is possible with some dev help.

It is on the list of supported devices actually. That's why I was hopeful. Everything goes like it should, but when you switch to the rom nothing happens. Or you get it to say "Switched roms" and you are on the same rom. The dir isn't populated with the boot.img either so you can't manually flash it.

Could be. I just updated my BL and CP, so I'm going to test again and see how it goes. I'm not aware of any 935F kernels that support dual boot though.

When I had the note 5 N920c some roms were successfully booting as a secondary rom and some perhaps most didn't because of twrp recovery, but there were moded twrps which solved these problems.
As I decided not to root then I don't know if there's a work around for S7E or not.

Just a update guys that chenxiaolong updated the Repo and built a recent build.
I have Dual boot working on my S7 Edge. booting two different Roms.

dave7802, Sorry from being new... but can you explain your statement? I'm an iphone user that is looking to switch to android, and I'm thinking of buying an S7 Edge. I want to be able to dual boot it. Sounds like you were able to get it working, but would you be able to help me understand how? Sorry totally new to this whole idea of ROMs and dual booting. I just want to make sure the phone I'm about to buy is going to be able to be dual-booted. I'm in North America, and I read on a different thread that the NA phones are not BL unlocked.. is that going to be a problem?
Sorry to ask so many wide open questions, but you are the first person that I have seen to confirm dual booting of an S7 Edge.

It will depend if its EXYNOS
If so you should be okay, If its Snapdragon then its locked and there is limited support.
The dual booter Patcher app, Bascailly allows you to installed selected ROM's in the Internal or External Memory.
And from within the App you select your Current ROM, Upon restarting the device will boot into the addtional ROM.
Now chenxiaolong is updating to Support android 7.0 And the dual booting is newly supported for the S7 Edge so it may be some time before its perfect
But keep in mind that the Root method Magisk is also bringing a Universal Dual boot so this may be another option.
CM builds are not yet created for this device, So it is only Stock ROMS you can dial boot

Thanks this is really helpful. Based on what I found online about the Snapdragon distribution, the US 100% snapdragon, so I think I'm going to pass on this brand/model. Any other recommendations for devices? I'm thinking the Google Pixel, or the 1plus3T. They are both really new phones, so I'm guessing they wouldn't be supported. So new to all this, my head is spinning.

Any custom roms for SM-G928R4 USC?

Well now since I have a custom recovery Im looking for a custom rom. Does anyone know if there is one that will work?
Sorry to post again but lets get development going on this now I know theres smart people on the interwebs Lets see some aweaome custom roms please and thank you

This rom works just no data. no sim card. http://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-edge-plus/orig-development/cyanogenmod-13-unofficial-t3384252
Not sure if it works, has anyone tried moving the two files from your stock ROM namely
i) /system/lib64/libsec-ril.so
ii)/system/lib64/libsec-ril-dsds.so (if available)
to any of custom ROM? It works for me with most of the custom ROMs here in xda. My phone is SM-G9287C which is dual sim and most of the custom ROMs here don't officially support the dual sim phone.
If sim/data signal still not appearing, get a supported kernel or write this line without the quote in your build.prop (after performing the above methods) "rild.libpath2=/system/lib64/libsec-ril-dsds.so", then restart your phone.
If you wanna try this, please do it at your own risk, I bear no responsibility for whatever to your phone.
not sure if anyone has tried any of that. I wouldnt know how to do that lol. also no kernel as far as I know for our model that will work
sorry to bump this, but Im sure more people would love to see some type of custom kernel and rom for our model phones. Anyone here able to make this happen? Also didnt find /system/lib64/libsec-ril-dsds.so but did find /system/lib64/libsec-ril.so. @fenrir_ac

My phone is dual sim G9287C. I believe that file has something to do with secondary sim feature.

Bootloader unlocked, can I use any rom?

So Ive had this Verizon Note 3 since day one. Finally unlocked my bootloader... What are the rules on what I can and can't do now. Can I install any Android rom? Can I only install note 3 roms from any carrier... Can I install only Verizon note 3 roms? Or is it a hybrid... I can install any rom if I replace the firmware and or modem.
I really want something on 7.1 but I'd rather take 6 and have something custom... Fast and responsive.
Thanks community.
You are in luck. :crying:
There's hardly anything to choose from; maybe 3 or 4 ROMs and about the same number of kernels.
AFAIK, there are no Nougat ROMs and only one Marshmallow ROM (AryaMod6.6).
Normally, when a dev ships a "ROM", there are two important pieces: the /system image (what some folks call "the ROM"), and the boot image. The boot image is what some folks erroneously call "the kernel"; but it is really a combination of kernel + ramdisk. The ramdisk has all the scripts in it that the "init" process reads to start up all the low-level daemons and services... as well as the Android UI as well.
The kernel is very tightly tied to the specific hardware in a given handset - both the processor/gpu and all the sensors/leds/peripherals.
So that's the reason you can't just flash any old ROM. In the least bad case, your device wouldn't boot; in the worst bad case the kernel would boot up far enough go off in the weeds and possibly damage some of your hardware.
You might be tempted to think "we'll, what if I find a boot image for the "hltevzw" SM-N900V device... can I flash that after I have flashed 'any old Android ROM'? Won't that take care of things?"
Well, not really. The system library binaries in /system are possibly compiled with instruction-set optimumization tweaks that are only supported by specific CPU and GPU hardware chips. Moreover, other peripheral chips such as GPS have unique "downloadable" vendor firmware in the system image... so again, there's the issue of hardware dependencies of the /system image.
Beyond that, there's carrier-specific "setup and activation" software that differs between ROMs, so even using ROMs that are from a different carrier's version of the exact same handset hardware might not work fully - specifically in the telephony function areas. Everything else might work fine though. For instance if you wanted to use the device as a WiFi-only unit for kid's games etc.
Note BTW that the "International" Note 3 GSM phones are not the same hardware - they use an Exynos processor.
good luck in your quest
Thanks
That was very helpful... Looks like Araya is my best bet. I'll leave jasmine rom to try it.
I was hoping that I could get another note 3 rom on this forum and flash the CDMA modem for networking... But doesn't seem like that's an option.
If I'm still stuck to Verizon Note 3 rom... What is the purpose or benefit of unlocking the bootloader... Was that really just to avoid Odin so I can flash my couple rom choices easier?
I appreciate your time!

I might have very slightly overstated the case for pessimism. There is a "consolidated" Verizon Note 3 Forum which is meant for devs to provide development tools and even ROMs that could potentially be used on devices from more than one carrier. But the world being organized the way it is, that means that you are more likely to find multi-carrier GSM ROMs over there than multi-carrier ROMS which support GSM and oh by the way CDMA and LTE as well.
If you want to fool around over there, I recommend that you proceed with great caution to make sure that the ROMs you choose specifically target Qualcomm MSM8974AB Note 3 handsets, and you should read the developer notes very carefully to see whether you need to flash an "hltevzw" kernel separately. If the dev does not mention "supports hltevzw" or "supports N900V" (for example here) you might be taking chances with your hardware.
I suppose it is possible that the radios are 100% "software defined" in the sense of which bands they can support. Maybe you can get what you want by simply flashing the desired carrier's "modem" firmware, but I have never done that so I can't say for certain whether that works or you are risking a brick (or hardware damage) by doing that. I simply don't know (e.g.) if the chips and antennas in a T-mo version of the Note 3 are identical or different from a Verizon Note 3's hardware

Well, for one - having a custom recovery allows you to make backups - even if you never change ROMs
People don't think of backups as being "sexy", but they allow you something which is really valuable: freedom to mess around and experiment with the knowledge that "if something goes wrong, I'll just restore the backup".
And with Odin, you only had the choice of Stock Roms. Now you have a few more.
cheers
Yes you can install Any rom for note3
Here is my experience with installing roms on note 3 after unlock bootloader
you should Flash twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img by ODIN for the hlte roms or twrp-2.8.7.0-hltevzw-4.4.img if you looking to flash verizon roms ,
im on Phronesis Rom N7 now and i tryed many roms
AryaMod N7 & S7 Edge
MagMa-NX from NXT TEAM
Resurrection Remix Nougat 7.1.1
CM 13 ROM 6.0.1 for Trader418
Purify CM13 6.0.1 ( the best CM13 till now )
and more ...
i have only one problem that i cant get LTE in mobile network always on H+
i tryed to add screenshot but i couldn't its my firist reply :laugh:
@ALPHA85
Pretty informative first post - thanks, and welcome aboard!
Are you on a Verizon SIM? If not, have you been flashing modems from other Note3 devices?
Just curious; I don't have much experience with radio issues or carrier activation issues. Trying to port a carrier-specific ROM elsewhere (esp starting from a VZW ROM) looks like a massive pile of interlocking software dependencies, though. My respect to anyone who can succeed at it.
Feel free to write a brief summary about what's broken in each - any of them have NFC working? I was on CM13 (trader418) for a long time and would have been happy to stay there were it not for all the GPS issues.
Thank you ,:angel:
i dont use Verizon SIM becouse im from egypt, i bought my verizon note 3 by wrong , when i bought it i saw N9005 under the battery and in the boot screen also inside the rom ,it was lollipop 5.0 ,but sinse i did factory rest i surprised it change to N900V even the imei changed , till now i cant understand how they flashed N9005 rom for N900V device with locked bootloader
i'm on OF1 bootloader unlocked and i flashed PL1 Modem i thought maybe it help me to get LTE but still the same H+
about NFC i really didn't try it at all , i always disable it by titanium pro

When you first got it, did it appear to have a Verizon ROM on it? (For instance, the Verizon splash screen?) Or some other carrier's logo?
Actually, that cleared something up for me. Well, except for the part about the IMEI changing
Apparently there were both LTE and GSM models of the "Note 3" that were sold in international markets. I understand the LTE version was originally sold in China, but the GSM model is more common?
The SM-N9005 is an LTE phone (I don't know about CDMA) with the Qualcomm MSM8974 processor
and the N9000 is the GSM model with an Exynos 5420 processor
So that probably explains the binary compatibility of the SM-N900V and the SM-N9005 - same processor, and both phones were designed for LTE service.
But your report should give @cyberoptics a little less pessimistic view of things; thank you for that.
But I wouldn't go so far as to say you can flash ANY Note 3 ROM. Even though both the Exynos and Qualcomm processors use ARM cores, they are fairly different - the Exynos has 8 cores, half of which are Cortex-A15, and the MSM8974 has only four cores which are Krait- something or other. I think they are not quite compatible. Note that in theory, ARM code that was compiled to earlier standards (e.g. thumb, armv5) would certainly work on both devices - but if they compiled ALL the code in ROM libraries that way they would be giving up a lot of performance on either device. So.... to the extent that they target processor specifics for either Cortex-A15 or Krait, they will be incompatible.
cheers.

bftb0 I just wanted to thank you once again for your consistently helpful, verbose posts about the N900V. I've been using CM13 thinking it was the best thing going, when, as nice as it was at the time, it doesn't hold water compared to AyraMod, which I switched to yesterday after reading this thread.
Now my GPS won't take me sailing past Easter Island when en route to a noon meeting downtown. Maybe Google Cardboard will even work, now that NFC appears to.
Thanks again, and please don't ever bore of being a great and helpful resource, we need you!

Total android noob looking for root help

I was wondering which samsung galaxy s8 should i buy on amazon for rooting since i hear the american verisons have a root but it drains 20% of your battery life.So what if i get a unlocked international version? Would that be the best approach or what exactly should i get?

If your reason to root is to use different roms then you should do some research because my understanding is that most US s8 have locked bootloaders and roms are not an option. I'm not up on all the details, this is ment more as a FYI.

Its to mainly have full control over the device,but i don't want the battery handicap.I asked on a different forum and found out from someone else that in order to not have the battery handicap i have to get a exynos model that has a F instead of a U in the model number and install twrp with magisk.I cant believe you couldn't just tell me that and save me the trouble instead of telling me to do research.
All i need to know now is if a exynos unlocked s8 is ok to get with a root because i am going to want to have a specific sim card working on it

Yes exynos version, as you say, rooting itself is easy and painless. I kept mine stock for 2 months but rooted a month ago, and am loving the flexibility and ability to tweak what I want (debloating lotsa bloatware apps, changing bootanimations, trying and managing various kernels and custom ROMs) enjoy!

Root for the Samung Galaxy S10 5G

Hey all, I have successfully achieved root on the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G SM-G977B. The process was simple due to it being the same process as topjohnwu already published. This is the official page for the instructions by topjohnwu which do work: topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root. If you struggle at any point feel free to reply and I will help where I can.
Currently TWRP doesn't work but I am spending time attempting to port it over. I am in no way an advanced developer but technology is my passion. So if I am successful and another developer hasn't already ported one over I'll be happy to post, but expect bugs. Due to this my device is currently unrooted but I can quickly root it and add pictures to prove .
Happy Rooting!.
Verizon Locked?
Are you in the US? The only way to currently buy it is through Samsung/Verizon and I am worried it may be locked to Verizon. Will that cause any issues in terms of rooting?

The US version of the Galaxy S10 5G Model is snapdragon 855 SM G977U and from a bit of search you won't be able to root
If you want to root your phone your going to need an Exynos version SM G977N Unlocked & SM G977B of the Galaxy S10 5G which he has above
Your going to have to wait until someone sells a unlocked version of the snapdragon even then don't know if you can still root

Exynos bootloader unlocked
Hey all, a proper guide with all the information will be posted soon in the meantime I am working on TWRP and will post updates on how I'm doing. If any developers want to potentially lend a hand then feel free to PM me or email me.

Currently I can successfully boot into TWRP by flashing a custom modified built using the s10+ device tree as a base with modifications to fit the s10 5g.
TWRP seems to work perfectly, and it seems that the current issue is all the security measures Samsung put in place. I have attempted modifying the multidisabler just by adding my version to the support list but while I do get further then without it. I still get stuck on Samsung logo before a reboot. And based in my limited knowledge on the script and also looking through the files as root previously it seems Samsung has changed a few files around. So that is were I am at.
Latest update: I am now working with ianmacd (the current maintainer of Unnofficial TWRP for the s10/+/e) to bring youse and myself a working twrp for our devices!, according to my observations and Ian's observations when building a custom kernel that the s10 5g is more different than the s10/+/e range so please be patient while me an Ian work on this. Based on everything he will now be the lead developer and I'll be the tester gathering all required files. I doubt my work will be used but it was fun experimenting with it and who knows maybe it could help. I'll continue to post updates

Hey there! Do you have any updates on this? I just received my new S10 5G today (coming from G975).
I saw @ianmacd mention this variant on his G97x TWRP thread... is it already working? Safe to patch AP with Magisk? What about the multidisabler?
Thanks mate!
I just seen that Sprint's US 5g ver has a boot loader that can be unlocked. I just checked on my fully updated Sprint 5g the setting is there. One step closer to root?

There seems to be a lack of progress in the recent days.
How are we going with it?
I am trying to make a rooting solution as I type this.

I'm actually considering purchasing this phone since I find out it's bootloader can be unlocked and there's root possibility.. I really hope it can be done.
no progress right ?
most people dont have the phone
and the root right now is for the B model which is going for 1500 on ebay
while the N model can be found for 700
N model needs root so badly
i want the 5G but due to lack of support i can't buy it
keeping the s10+ for now

I will not charge anything for the rooting to occur.
I wish to keep it free.

Exactly that.
I will charge $0.00 for the ability to root a Samsung Galaxy S10 5G.
Hey all, sorry for my lack in response. I'll post a post up shortly describing the current situation. Wish you all well.
God damn it, he managed to escape us for 3 months this time with out answering to our hails!
MarshiMello you fluffy white sugary softy! My husband has a very "similar" perhaps exactly the same perception of the word "SHORTLY" us Samsungites are onto you!.
Hello everybody,
I have an SM-G977B and I followed the root guide in the top of this thread.
Arrived at "Unlocking Bootloader" => "Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader." in download mode that option is not in the list and pressing volume up nothing happens.
By skipping that step with Odin I can only load original roms without the root.
How do I get the option to unlock the bootloader in the download mode menu?
Excuse me for the bad English,
best regards.

Does LTE really matter?

So I'm looking to get a Samsung Tab S6 Lite LTE (Wi-Fi version isn't available in my country) and all the custom recoveries and ROMs are all for the Wi-Fi only version (SM-P610, gta4xlwifi) not the LTE version (SM-P615, gta4xl).
I don't plan on using the LTE capabilities at all. My question is that, if I flash non-LTE recovery/ROM on the SM-P615, will it brick the tablet?

gta4xlwifi builds would probably boot but e.g LTE (obviously), GPS and Audio won't work probably as these are different.
Anyways I do support the LTE model (gta4xl) in my unofficial builds (it's just not official because I only own wifi model myself), see here:
[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][gta4xl/gta4xlwifi][11] LineageOS 18.1 for Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
I need opinion if this Rom is working well? I want to buy Tab S6 lite but I hate Samsung rom, and I'd buy this device only if custom rom is working well, i like lineage os. Thanks

Damn, that's a shame. I thought only LTE wouldn't work. I'm not gonna really use GPS, since I'm just gonna be using it to watch movies and such, but audio is a big deal-breaker.
Thank you though, you probably saved me a lot of troubleshooting.
I suppose I'm gonna be able to only use Lineage, since that's the only one that kinda supports it.
I just have another question, would this happen even if I only used the recovery for the Wi-Fi model, not the ROM?

No, but what would you want to do with lineage recovery on stock anyways ...
All the stuff is working fine on lineage tho! In case you misunderstood me ... you just need to flash the right build for your model.

I meant that I wanted to flash TWRP, but I could only find it for the Wi-Fi model. I would then use your unofficial Lineage build for ROM.
I'm more comfortable with TWRP than anything, and encryption isn't really a problem for me, since I'll use multidisabler-samsung to decrypt it.
Either way I'm not gonna install a custom ROM until Samsung stops offering OTA updates for this tablet. I just like installing TWRP on all of my devices as a sort of failsafe in case anything goes wrong. From TWRP it's a simple wipe data then reflash, instead of using Odin and having to flash everything. For now, I just use it to install Magisk and then I don't touch it again until I need it again (when Samsung decides that this tablet is no longer important enough to support and decides to stop updating it).

Hi there!
I'm planning to buy a Galaxy Tab S6 lite LTE version.
Is there an official LTE Lineage OS on the way or does that mean that only WiFi is the one and will always be the only official one? Is there a reason why the LTE version isn't officially supported?
Thanks in advance!

Literally the only reason is that I only own the wifi model myself, but I actually said that in the post you quoted.
Anyways thinking about doing it for LTE model too but I can't promise anything yet.
Ah, yes. I'm sorry. Now I got it (right).
Thank you for clarification.
