need a special custom ROM - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

hello,
i need a suggestion for a ROM that should have the following properties:
root should be switchable (on/off) and hidden
saftynet should be OK
security Patchlevel less March 2017
These things are needed to play pokemonGo, yes i know this time and effort for a game but i like it.
so help is very appreciated

If you root via Magisk it can hide root and pass safetynet so long as you're not using Xposed, which you should be able to do on any ROM of choice
If you need Xposed you can use the Magisk systemless module, and turn it off and on as required

Build it yourself? The people on xda aren't your rom-maker-slaves. Figure out yourself.

@000Nick: i dont be searching for slaves only for People which are smart enough to help others. (i'm not to be able to build my own)
@Beanvee7: i had many problems with a superman rom and magisk. result was a bootloop, recover to stock and 2 days of work and cold sweat.
That's because i ask for help and recommendation for a ROM that fulfilled my expectations.
in the past i am using a CM13_by_temasek for my S3 and it work like a charm, now i am searching the same for my S7 but it seems to be much harder to find something that works the same easy way.

I use superman with magisk, so can't offer reasons why it would bootloop

@Beanvee7: maybe my own foolishness.
1. i install cfautoroot with ODIN
2. i install TWRP manager from playstore and installed TWRP
3. i installed Superman ROM 1.9.1
till then all worked fine
then i tried to switch off root in Superuser. in Superuser it shows me "deactivated" but every App could become root.
next try was to activate magisk hide but it doesnt hide root. i tested with saftynet check and in any Android test app (come with superman) shows me root too
next i checked the unload "superuser module" (only unload not delete) in magisk manager, this removes root but saftynet test is still not OK
next i tried to activate the load of the superuser module but thats not possible.
after that, i reboot to recovery and now i got errors and run into a loop shows me something about FRP Lock
nothing else worked than going to download mode and flashing a stock Rom back.
and all of that, including the restore of all my apps and configure many things that could not restored (twice) busy me for two days.
possibly i selected the wrong options in aroma installer but i have no idea what i made wrong and why it doesnt work for me (hide root and let saftynet be OK)
but i do not want to try it again if i am not sure to do it for a last time because it is to much time i have to spend for that.
and every time i loose a little bit of my apps/gamescores and so on.

Why should someone do this for you? No one owes you a custom ROM, and you're not offering anything in return. Figure out how to get this setup yourself, or a pay a capable dev to do this for you.

i dont ask somebody to build a ROM for me and i am sorry about if i had not clearly described it in my first post.
i only ask for a suggestion of a rom that fulfilled my needs.
but i wonder why i am attacked by you because i ask friendly for that little hint.

The way you worded it suggests that you need a rom custom mode for you. You said you need a "special rom" which would be the incorrect thing to say if there are other time like it.

@YMNDLZ: yes, you are right, my wording is a little bit misleading
i revised it in my first post and hope it is better now.
thanx for your advise.

TWRP, Root, modify system (adaway, etc), and unroot help

Hi,
Bassically I'm just trying to get my phone to be unrooted to pass SafetyNet (Android Pay, Pokemon Go, and others) but have some system modications (adaway and removed boot sounds mainly).
What I did do is flash stock odin firmware (PG1), then twrp, supersu, and make my changes. Then if I just unroot with supersu it still fails SafetyNet. If I unroot and tell SuperSU to restore boot.img then I get a bootloop. Probably due to TWRP still being there and not stock Recovery? So I thought maybe from there I can just flash boot and recovery via odin but that didn't seem to work either. Is it possible to take the stock firmware and flash whatever I need except system? Or not possible to alter system and go back to stock boot/recovery?
Thanks!

That no longer works to pass SafetyNet. Last couple weeks there have been a couple of root/xposed solutions only for Google to changes SafetyNet and detect it. So I was thinking of just getting rid of root but hopefully keeping the couple system mods I like...
Not much help in here. Anyone know of a way to have a modified system but no root (or recovery if I don't need twrp)? Mainly I'd just like to update my hosts file and remove the stupid reboot "ding".
My hope was to modify system via twrp/supersu and then flash recovery/boot to get it back to stock but there must be some sort of check because that just causes dm-verity failed notification in stock recovery. I can unroot via the SuperSU app but unrooting and telling it to restore stock boot.img causes loop. Unroot and tell it to leave boot.img lets my phone work but still doesn't pass safetynet checks.
All this work makes me miss my HTC phones. They seemed so much easier to manipulate.
This guy's solution lets me have a stock system with some system modifications. So now I have what I wanted, passing Safety Net, removed boot sound and applied adaway hosts file!

I know yur post is pretty old bug i just got my note recently but i had no idea there was such a lack in development for sprint version. If u did end up accomplishing unroot with eneabled security, let me know. Thanks

That will unroot it but you'll also lose all system modifications so it'll be stock again. I wanted adaway hosts file and a couple other system mods. What I posted above did work for me but about six weeks ago I exchanged my Note 5 for a new one (camera died on the old one) and haven't rooted. I enjoy using Samsung Pay so I haven't tripped Knox yet.

[Completed] Need help with changing a ROM around

Okay so I'm still using a OnePlus One and after the whole debacle with CM getting shut down I decided to switch away from my CM ROM to a 7.1.1 rom and after testing roms for an entire day I found the perfect one and I just love 7.1.1 in general.
HERE'S the problem. Every single Rom i tried comes Rooted. And I can't have that because a lot of apps and games are starting to be very picky with that. So I was wondering if there's a way to make the ROM I want to use completely Root free. Because here's the thing, even if I remove the Root with SuperSU or something afterwards, some apps still show the device as rooted, and for some reason Developer Options don't want to turn themselves off.
To give some of you a example between the two roms.
The ROM i want to use: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/nitrogen-os-7-1-0-nde63p-t3491386
The ROM i was using: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...m-kernel-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3242700
The ROM i was using (SultanOS) comes completelly un-rooted out of the box and Android Pay and the game I play (Fate/Grand Order) work just fine.
The ROM i want to use is NitrogenOS and while it works amazingly on my phone and would totally use it as a daily driver, it comes pre-rooted, and even after getting rid of the "superuser" folder in the .zip and editing the "updater-script" file with Notepad++ and removing everything with "superuser" in it (like I was told in the discussion) it seemed like the root wasn't installed, but the apps still seemed to detect some sort of root and i can't seem to turn off developer options (with and without root). Also tried the unSU method by @osm0sis but again...it only seems to get rid of the root but dev options don't allow me to turn them off and apps still see the phone as rooted.
So can anyone help me here? What I basically want is the NitrogenOS ROM, but completely Root free on install like SultanOS.
If I could possibly get input from @amardeep434 and @Sultanxda that would be amazing. Because both of your builds are amazing, but as far as i know Sultan is switching to the OP3T so I'm not expecting a 7.1 ROM anymore.
Root is good for a lot of people, but I personally think with how easy flashing SuperSU is nowadays, ROMs could easily come without it and save some of us a ton of headaches.
Hopefully I can get some help on this. I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hello,
Well you can try magisk and systemless root, something similar to this Magisk development thread.
Here's a support and discussion thread, click here.
If you still run into issues, please post in support and discussion thread. The experts might be able to assist you.

I can pass SafetyNet but my banking app still sees my device as rooted. I think some apps just see anything but stock ROM (or at least see the ROMs with built-in root settings) as "rooted" even if all the binaries and files are stripped away.
suhide was the only thing that worked to hide things from my banking app but unfortunately it doesn't work after recent Android security updates. Haven't tried the recent Magiskhide, but I have heard it may work currently as well.

Yea sultans OS wasn't detected because it comes un-rooted and it's not a stock rom. So I'd assume it's roms with built in root settings? Which....is there a way to get rid of that?

Root and Xposed info', hoping for mutual help/development

https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-miui-t3367634 Thanks goes to SolarWarez
Only one I have seen on wetube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYqng7YFbQE re' rooting
Didn't see a thread for this red 4 prime re' rooting and xposed, and didn't want to cross thread other peoples threads (more than I have done (=
Seems fairly straight forward getting root and xposed up and running, if anyone has any info', good or bad using root and xposed on red prime 4, perhaps this is the thread, please state which rom you are using etc etc.
I always had Samsungs before, root and xposed worked perfectly on each, seems it's not quite as straight forward perhaps on this phone.
Much thanks in advance..

Thanks below to member Ardrift for the link and info'
I have uploaded the files to google drive. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B9SW1On-CcCac09VTzd5TW5kcnc?usp=sharing First you have to install the apk, then you can download the zip from the app, or just flash the zip that I've included in the folder. It's the same as If you downloaded the latest miui version from the app.
Using the xposed links above, running on 8.2.1, with super su https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&r...kSiKyUIbkp6Is7kZQ&sig2=nDsK9Xa-mZPzLXoVrHAqcg
phones running sweet. I tried 2 newer super su though had issues with no mtp connection, though with super su 2.6.5..... working a charm, can confirm lucky patcher (latest version) so far has worked flawlessly, no bootloops or lags...
(post write up, found this rom juice hungry after a week or so, with xposed then went epic) must be xposed I thinking.
.
Using eur rom 8.1.3 (after trying global x 2 and epic)
Not using to many apps, phone set up to save battery, cpu on power save etc.
Again my phone battery life sucks big time, seem to spend ages to charge, and depletes in a day.
I have perhaps 10 or more xposed apps, which I like for mods, though feeling maybe miui not really suited to xposed as it's a modified xposed.
Thinking this is the cause of battery drain. Anyone members thinking the same?
I am not using magisk on this rom, though have used it, using the modified version with thanks, though thinking no thanks to using it and uninstalling and perhaps reflashing the rom, or trying another.
Thanks in advance for help re this. Sick of battery drain.
Had similar amount of xposed apps on J5 and battery was ok/good.
Is miui not good with xposed for battery? , Despite the fact it does work

Opps added screen shot from my friends phone he sent me, I added by mistake. Developer options one in black, no matter mine set up same.
Also I using greenify and also freeze some apps in TB. Though still battery drain on many roms with xposed. Unless my battery is bad quailty, or xposed no good on miui? thanks for any feedback.

As i told you before that do not use Xposed on This Device ? its draining the battery too fast. so what you have to do is that just install a new ROM from Start and then Root it Using Majisk, and then Greenify. you will enjoy the battery Life then.

How do you install Majisk if you already have root with SuperSU?Do you have to uninstall first SuperSU and install Majisk after?There isn't any good info about making the replacement.Also why Majisk is better than SuperSU and what is the difference?

Well if your device is already rooted then it's ok but why is it important to replace SU with Majisk. So because SU binary are out dated and if you update it, then you will loose the MTP connection with the PC. And only charging work. You cannot communicate with the your device through PC. If you want to go to Majisk over SU then just unroot from SU menu and the install Majisk and then download the latest binary and then reboot device to TWRP and flash the binary and you have done.

I already had the problem with mtp connection even without updating SuperSU.I solved that by adding some lines on build.prop but i don't like this solution.It's very strange that SU binary is outdated, what are these SuperSU updates do then?Anyway, thanks for the answer!

Many people are dropping SU due. To them being sold to a Chinese company that is not trusted. Same reason Xiaomi is still not liked by dev.

well being using Android and Windows OS and IOS.. its quite clear that everytime you are spying by these Prying eyes and i have a lot of incident that can clear that and even the Assange Laptop is also hacked and deleted all the data from it. and i know many Journalist who are the Victims of such attacks. so using Internet is basically giving yourself xposed to the Hackers. now if they are from China, Russia or from USA

[ROOT][MAGISK] For Asus ZenPad 10 3s[P027]

Just goot this device rooted! Just gonna test the script a few times so there isent any bugs and i will upload it!
EDIT: Systemless Root methods like Magisk resets after root(I Think SuperSu works if u tweak dm-verity in the kernel). But using system-root both breaks saftynet and is boring
So im gonna try to edit the boot img to work with magisk or SuperSU even if the bootloader is locked.
If none of theese things works there is a way to Re-root after each reboot but its ofc much easyer just to edit the boot.img or unlock the BL
EDIT 2: I will also try to reverse engineer the bootloader to try to find a weak point where we can unlock it, for easyer rooting and creating custom roms
EDIT 3: Also forgot to mention xposed works because you dont "need" root. If anyone want xposed just reply in the thread and il upload the script "as is" even though it resets after each reboot, but root works perfect have tested multiple apps.
And as i said before, before i release the root method publicly i want to check if its the BL who "resets" the kernel like on some HTC devices or if its a simple dm-verity problem , if it is the dm-verity thing its easy to fix.
More info:
Flashing kernel,system,recovery works because the only partitions that are protected are the BL and FRP partions but not for long
So far:
Magisk: Works
Bootloader: Locked
Saftynet: Passes

Comming in an hour! Just gotta check the updatescript for errors before posting :)
j wait for your script to root my Z500 m thanks to you.
Wow, finally there's a method to root. I own the device since august and I really want to get it rooted due to all bloatware I want to uninstall and to install 3rd party apps.:good:
super thanks to you me too and thanks to you I could root the tablet with all s is unnecessary thank you for your work:good::good::good:
Cant wait
Wow.... time is ticking to bring root to the P027
I can't wait for an update on this.
There must be another way to get a rooted ASUS P027. I tried much but don't have any success. I think that there is a way to push some files manually to /data/local/tmp. Setting right permissions using adb. Finally executing a root-shell-script from one of many should do the rest. Problem is not to get the files inside the system, you have to do it again after each reboot.
I'm a bit nervous to modify bootloaders and flash them on the go with no oem support. If some support for this device comes available from ASUS it should be a lot easyer to do.
I cant upload photo's till i'm no longer seem like a robot. I also got some kind of root on my P027. only for a moment. After reboot it is gone.
I can't wait for that!
Will it come out soon..... so excited ^_^

hey, very good news!! I am waiting a long time for this. It would also be nice, if you can give us your xposed script. Thnkas!!
Is p207 the model number? I'm only finding it listed as Z500M.

Ok guy's where do we stand on root as of 5pm Wednesday 10.04.2017 ??
I bought the ASUS Zenpad 3S 10 [P027] off Amazon on Saturday on a flash sale for $265, knowing it didn't have root, and that's a shame because it's a beautiful & buttery smooth tablet.
Today, as I was pondering boxing it up for a return, I figured I'd look for myself once more for the hell-of-it, AND BOOM! I found this thread!
So where are we guys? I'll test it for ya or whatever! So friggin' pumped ROOT has been established! Dare I say -Vanilla Oreo ROM with onscreen softkeys??? YEAH!
Really looking forward to this! I don't mind getting my hands dirty, but just waiting for the script I'm very happy to have stumbled upon this thread, can't wait to have root on this tablet!!
Fortunately we will get to see the script. I own the P027 since auust 17. A very good hardware. But without root its only worth half. So, me too is awaiting the script but so far I guess we still have to wait. Til now, no root app works (iRoot, Kingo, e.g.) Very sad because I think that once we rooted it and get rid of all the OEM bloatware, this tab may rocks a lot more.

Can you go ahead and upload the script for those of us brave enough to try it? Thank you for all your hard work!
I got root and xposed. But I don't have a way to get it in that device
At my next post will I upload a photo or link of my own (semi) rooted P027. The Magic of rooting a device which is unsupported is far away from easy as flashing chainfire's zips or something possible using Odin or what. Most likely if there was a custom recovery for the P027 root would be easy because of all possibilities you have.
I've tried a lot of other ways to get in to try modify something in that locked system. It is hard to get there without losing patients! I also lose social networks I belong to. Even if days counts 48 hour instead of 24, root wasn't there with the success I had hope to. Sometimes only after manually redirecting some files with adb and manually setting right permissions to every file. It becomes possible to get accessing "su" in terminal app. Only sometimes, after each modifying something, you're device needs to reboot for applying that modification. At that point you lose everything before you can use it.
If someone can post latest boot.img I will try to patch it with Magisk. If that is possible it will get easier to activate systemless xposed. A few weeks ago on note 8 launch day... It took at least 1 hell of a day before root came available on xda. Also twrp and custom roms are available.
Hope soon to make it happening for real.

Here is the boot.img from WW_V14.0210.1709.27: https://mega.nz/#!4bQExBTB!5fyivXxvP4aYAxCDjsYRJ1X7o1wMXYGBLf1TO0ns-z4
I downloaded the WW_V14.0210.1709.27 firmware from ASUS Support then unzip the package to get this file.
Hope it will be helpful to you. I am really looking forward to root this device!
Thank you for your hard work!

what are the interesting things I can do after rooting my op6?

After leaving Samsung, I did not root my phone as never felt the need for it, as I used root for battery mods and roms.
So can anyone tell me that what interesting mods I can do after rooting my phone?
You can install custom ROMs which have extended features for your phone like changing what buttons do, having an always on display show different things, have shortcuts mapped etc. Custom kernels can manage your phone better whether you like more battery or more performance. Then you have magisk modules come in that can add further functionality and then Edxposed, F-droid the list goes on and on.
You can get rid of ads in your apps.
You can have modded youtube without any ads and other stuff.
Tons of stuff
i root because a few mods:
Viper4android
Call Recorder - not available in my country.
EdXposed with gravitybox - for little customizing
Youtube Vanced
i also root because i had oneplus 5 before which was not rooted and one day i messed up and couldnt get it to work again. i really tried everything - if i was rooted i probably could have fixed my op5.
How do you install new updates then?
Once the updates are out you can install them directly with your phone as you have been doing with any other phone.
The only thing is that after every update you have to root again your phone as the update 'delete' the root.
Nothing major, don't worry. Trust me, us, once you root you won't be able to have your phone unrooted anymore ?
If you are in doubt I suggest you to root it once and then, after a new update you can decide if root it again or not ?
If ur not willing to walk the mile of getting knowledge, dont root
You can use it to teleport to another dimension.
Jk jokes aside you have full control of your system and can do all kinds of modification which how you modify will make it awesome or perform worse.

I have rooted my phones for years when I used Samsung devices.
Samsung had issues with battery and performance so that time I had rooted my device.
But since I am using op6 I am so satisfied with the performance and battery, that's why I never rooted my device.
Now I am bored and want to try few mods, so I will root my phone.
I have never used magisk root method, and as I said it's been almost 2 years I rooted device, so I'll be happy if someone can guide me in detail and best root method, I am currently on latest fw android 10.
Thanks in advance!
I do agree with you about Samsung, that is why I passed to oneplus few years ago, the only thing I do miss is the camera quality.
A part of that, you'll be happy to have your phone rooted (Magisk is amazing!)
I suggest you the section of this forum GUIDES, NEWS AND DISCUSSION; once there you'll find the guide titled "OnePlus 6: Unlock Bootloader | Flash TWRP | Root | Nandroid & EFS Backup !!"
It looks more difficult than with Samsung but it isn't at all!
Good luck man and welcome to the Dark side

Thanks for the info, I checked the forum.
Kindly help me to understand few things -
Do I need to install Twrp tp install Magisk?
Will I lose any apps like snapchat?
You can root your phone also without installing the twrp (if you are not intended to deep mod your phone). I'd suggest anyway to install the twrp.
Yes, magisk is needed it can be compared as the supersu but with extended feautures.
If I don't mistake (I did unlock my bootloader on my 1st day I owned the oneplus) all data will be wiped and yes... You might loose your data.
If you can make a backup of your photos, videos and any extra file on a PC and after the unlock and root procedure you can restore them.
All other app can just be downloaded again.... ???
for people mentioning about adfree & background youtube, this can be done in a virgin phone also. just install the vanced apk.

I guess I'll be doing this on next weekend. I'll post query if I have any doubts. Thanks!
I find that making phone calls with this device seem to be the thing that most people do

Follow this guide
h***s://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
Double check all the adb instructions before confirming them and check that you have all the right files necessary for the operation. (start your pc terminal as administrator)
