Root question for the devs PJ2 & Nougat - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

I am currently downloading the beta nougat for the sprint as i type this. I read that Samsung has an e-fuse in the latest firmware builds, but as i was reading the nougat beta program, they said you can revert back to your old firmware if you want to. Question is can you skip and revert to PJ2 version that has a root solution ? Thank you

If you take the beta, you can revert to mm "if" you first back up your rom with SmartSwitch. You use that to revert.

Can you revert to PE1 from the beta. I'm going to download the update and give it a try.

But how do you revert back?. I'm not seeing that option in smart switch. I've never used it, I'm not familiar with it. After doing a factory reset. I still have Android 7, but it runs smoither.

Thanks, that is what I figured. but it probably won't let me go back to PE1.. Hopefully we can get someone to obtain root, with the beta version.. That would be sweet.. I did call Samsung, and asked if there was a FW with no carrier bloat I could get my hands on.. They never even gave me a answer. LOL

About reinstalled marshmallow rom help!

I had a custom rom trupure installed after rooting my phone unlocking boit loder and putting twpr,I wiped the rom and put back stock marshmallow. But left the phone with twrp and bootloader unlocked. Will I be able to receive OTA update w
With bootloader unlocked and twrp still installed? I heard there was 6.0.1 coming up already. Since I reinstalled the marshmallow stock back does it come with band 12 update already??
No with TWRP, you need to get stock recovery or just wait to somebody release the 6.0.1 rooted already.

OK how do I go back to stock recovery so I can receive the update? And what about the bootloader?
You can downgrade to LP using the tool that is on Devs section, then take to MM OTA again.

I also, humbly and respectfully, request that you do not blame the phone for your flashing problems. And I most humbly ask that you try to do additional reading and searching before you do anything else to your device. Almost all of your issues have been previously addressed in older posts and searching and reading are expectations for members. Hope the above link gets you there... :highfive:

32.1.A.1.185 New Update Now Avaliable How To Install

New Update!!
The title on this thread is just a bit misleading... This in no way explains how to install, what kind of Z5 P device it is or anything... Hardly worth a whole new thread, either, when this is being discussed in the 'Marshmallow available now' thread...

Yes. But I need the one with Root so I think I better stay and wait on the older firmware. also, I need the exact firmware for my phone for better coverage.

I think I have latest firmware from :
1298-2969 Customized MAA 32.1.A.1.185-R7C

Same customization of mine but I'll wait for the one rootable.
Hi OP. Were you be able to update it?pls consider to check if the kernel is the same as stock version of firmware 163? if it is still the same, I think we can still use the current custom kernels
Kernel is the same.
Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk
Does a diffrent firmware void your warranty? And if i do can i also turn back to my own cda when tmobile nl 6.0 has been released?
For E6853
The custom kernels work, but it's registered at the older firmware version, making the system update pop up even though you have it installed. I customized the stock kernel for the latest update with the help from @tobias.waldvogel tool from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605
Click to expand...

It has DRM restore injected, latest TWRP 3.0.1 and support for root. The rest is stock.
I would recommend flashing the latest firmware with Flashtool without wiping any data and flash the kernel afterwards in fastboot
Fastboot flash boot kernel.img

Make sure to navigate to the correct directory you have it downloaded so it can detect the IMG.
No need for installing recovery as it already has this. From recovery just flash the latest SuperSU and you have root.

Just to be 100% clear, if you are currently rooted you're good to go to flash the update through Odin with no issues?

No you will have to backup app data with titanium backup... I recommend wiping anyway there's a higher chance there won't be any issues.

I can also confirm root with this update. Updated with odin, but it did give me a big bootloop problem after flashing the eng boot. Couldn't get it to work with the "Prince" custom odin or with regular odin 3.12. Had to dl the most recent (3.13 I think it is) and then it finally went.

Hmmmm...not too sure then. Yeah I was on pj2 when I first got my edge last week and wanted root. The only way I was able to do it was flashed Verizon fw which I think was pe1 then root and flash echoe rom. But it was way too laggy for me. So right now I'm on unlocked fw ai3. Which has all bloat removed and seems smoother then sprints pj2 stock fw

Deffinately not package disabler pro. I was able to update with all my packages disabled. Although maybe you have apps disabled that i do not have disabled. Nonetheless i have not seen any major improvements at all in the update. So i would not worry about rushing to get it.

I don't know. Are you assuming I was teaching you? No I was just telling you what version I'm currently using and version that I want to upgrade to. I don't know how to roll back to MM. I hope you understand me.
just check in settings - about, there should be something that tells you what oeminfo you should use
