After buying my edge plus I immediately rooted my phone using the kernel of arter97. I also had to flash the firmware after installing xprivacy as my phone didn't boot anymore. Cause of that I don't know if my problem is the result of rooting or existed from the beginning.
Now everything seems to work fine except the edge. If I want to add a contact it switches into the contact-menue, I choose a contact and nothing happens. The space in the edge doesn't show the choosen contact and keeps the plus-symbol instead. The same if I want to add an app.
In the edge-menue I can't make changes like to switch off the vip or the app or the light. It behaves as if I wouldn't have the right to overwrite the settings.
Does anyone has the same problem? How to solve?
Thanks!
My configuration:
Modell SM-G928F
Android-Version 5.1.1
Kernel 3.10.92-arter97
Nobody? Who knows which system-files are responsible for the edge? Maybe I just would have to change the rights to write?
Would be very grateful for an answer.
I tyred to have some help by the Samsung-Hotline. I described my problem but they even don't want to give me a little hint cause they don't give service to a rooted system. And anyway they wouldn't know the responsible files.
Nobody here with the same problem? Am I the only one with a rooted edge+ ?

Hey man. Making the 'Edge services work' is not easy. First of all which firmware/custom rom do you use currently? I flashed a custom note5 rom which hasnt got edge screen feature and wanted to bring it again. Digged and found something, flashed one of versions(Edge feature_forN5.zip) (3 version remain) and got back the Side apps and contacts feature(I got BOOTLOOPS with v0.3 and DIDNT try OJ5v). Night clock and information stream never worked btw. I got bored of tryin bla bla. Now using Audax Plus rom and all edge features are fully workin. Whatever have a look at the link;
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=39847
and his thread is in;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/themes-apps/mod-enable-edge-features-s6-edge-t3206289
Good luck..
Hey Konsstantine,
first I want to thank you a lot for your support. I will try it the next days and give feedback.
As far as I see this work was done for the galaxy note 5 edge. Do you think it works with the S6 edge +?
Forgot to write my firmware:
I installed G928FXXU2AOJ5
Android 5.1.1

Hey. Yeah Im s6 edge plus user. It was working good for my Tekxodus Note5 rom installed s6e+ That rom havent got the edge features in old versions. But that does not enough to understand that why your edge features dont work. Btw you can see which apps related to edge things in that zip. I think you missed somehing, maybe you should try(if didnt) factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik.
I want to thank you again.
By coincidence I just found the reason for my problem - its a bit embarassing ...
I blocked the rights of the service "PeopleStripe" on my rooted phone. Giving it back its rights the edge is working fine.

I have a few questions for anyone familiar with the Samsung Galaxy J series, specifically the J3. I have virgin mobile, and after a long time suffering with their HTC Desire 510, I want to upgrade, and not wanting to spend $400 on a galaxy S5 , the J3 seems the next best phone to get. However, as I've grown used to having a rooted phone and customizing my phone as much as I want, etc, I want to make sure my next phone can be rooted, and has support for custom ROM's, etc.
The main thing that could help me with my decision would be some guidance as to whether other versions, the J2, J5, J7, etc, that are present here would be potentially compatible with the J3, or if I'm out of luck and should consider other options if rooting is a necessity for me.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Anyone?
I'm sure you can root it.
I'm using j5 and it took me like 15 minutes of reading and about an hour /including downloading and setting up all the things /for the root.
I just want to say that you would need to be prepared to wait until someone make a custom Rom for it.

Thats what I was thinking. I figure that rooting it (hopefully) is similar to the other J series. As long as its rooted, wouldn't I be able to (even w/o custom rom) debloat/customize/etc it with various root tools, apps2sd, etc? Or are those dependent on having a custom rom? On the only phone I've rooted so far (htc desire 510) I didn't really spend any time with stock rom when I rooted, instead immediately flashing Nonsense rom, so I'm not sure what limitations keeping stock rom comes with when rooted.
Thank you for the reply! It gives me a bit of hope at least.
I'm not really familiar with the device. As I said before I have a j5. According to the applications that you mentioned I think that it would be possible to get and install them. But rooting isn't quantum mechanics. There are some apps that you could easily install on almost any device and get the root privileges. For example kingroot I am sure you can find others. I usually root my devices trough pc.I recommend you to take some time before jumping on the first option that comes up as a possible solution.
According to changing the stock Rom. I don't known how developed is that treat so.. Again read here and there about it.
GL!
Let me know if I helped by hitting the thumb up
I dont think permanent root is going to be possible until a working twrp is made so that you can flash supersu. I know that sux, I wanted to get one for my wife because she broke the screen on her vm s3. But without root and the ability to get unlimited hotspot... nope. I asked a dev ( lrs121) if he would port twrp to it. He said he would try if I had the phone and could get him the necessary files from it. Look in the sprint s3 section under twrp for virgin and boost s3. He is a great dev.
Actually far as I can say there are 2 twrp options. you just have to read more

I am by no means a noob, and when I answer someone, I generally throw in a link.
But thanks for letting me know it exists.
Is it another phones twrp that works? Any hints at all?

Sorry i was on the phone while traveling. I`ve mistaken that it was about the j5 ( like mine device) and for that especially i had tried 2 working options up to now for twrp. but i`m pretty sure you can find tutorials or you can even simply DL the twrp /for example/ 3 install it as an apk and than you if it stuck just would need to DL odin for your PC and than strictly follow the steps / install /unzip odin, connect device , go into DL mode and flash it with the stock ROM which you can find in sammobile /.com i guess/ ?
GL and hit thanks if i helped!

If anyone wants to root their US cellular S6 Smg920r4 on 6.0.1, I know there's no section here for US Cellular, but this works perfect. It's the Sprint TWRP 6.0.1 Marshmallow root method. Just follow the instructions in the Sprint thread. Root in minutes thru Odin. Hope it helps someone else like me who was looking and looking for Sm-g920r4 specific root.

I've got xposed running with a few modules that are stable and somewhat supported on marshmallow. Again it's super easy to root your stock firmware on your US Cellular SM-G920R4 Galaxy S6. If anyone has any questions, please let me know. Thanks
Twrp
My s6 won't boot into system it boots into twrp recovery. And I did make a backup of my phone with Smart Switch and now Smart Switch tells my device is not supported. Any solutions?
What firmware were you on? Were you already on 6.0.1 and did you get it fixed yet
How did you get Xposed to work? Did you have to use a custom rom? If so what one did you use?
thank
Thank to me
I'm still hesitant to pull the trigger on this. I see questions being asked about things that I don't fully feel comfortable stressing about. Was this a successful way to root or a fluke that may work for some?

For sure. US Cellular is small beans compared to the other major companies so its always been hard to find it. This is the first device I have ever struggled to find a way to do it though. All other took work, but this one is the only one so far that has been impossible.
I was able to get his ROM loaded onto my phone but there was a spot where I had to "select CSC" and US Cellular wasn't listed as one of them. I think T-Mobile and Rogers were the only USA companies that it had. Maybe I should have tried it by selecting T-Mobile or Rogers but I just didn't really know what to do. The one that I tried (which was a UK CSC - because it mentioned something about selecting it if yours wasn't listed..but I believe it was only talking about UK companies not listed) wound up getting the ROM to load but I had NO touch screen capabilities.
After 6 hours of getting that that point and having to reload the official Samsung ROM, I gave up and went to bed.
I wish I could find someone that has been through this already to lean on for some assistance but with this phone, it seems like no one has been first. Maybe that is my purpose in life.. But then again, I also don't want to completely brick my phone in the process. Maybe I'll try again tonight.
Okay so I have a G935A (AT&T s7 edge) on 7.0 QC2 and since our bootloaders are locked we get kind of left out of the loop when it comes to custom ROMs etc. I was wondering if someone could make a ROM on 7.0 that is friendly with my device that I could flash using flash fire? I know there is ECHOED ROM but that is on marshmallow and I need a nougat one with like adaway and all the basic stuff you know. Hopefully with wifi calling still working too as I use that a lot. If you could help me find the right developer to talk to or get him to check the post out that would be helpful. Thanks.
Ask him
Try asking Luca Grifo aka Tkkg1994 he is one of the greatest devs for the s7

He said he doesn't support phones he doesn't own....
I take that as nobody can do it? Mine as well go back to stock unrooted then... RIP the dream...
Try devbade?
You could sell your 935A and buy a 935F, root it, use Tkkg1994's CSC selection tool to put AT&T volte/wifi calling on an international model (which is faster with better battery liferunning a S7 nougat rom in under an hour.
Im only posting this here because im a new and it won't let me post to the s7 edge forums. I'm not a pro like many people on this site but I'm feeling like a real idiot right now. I recently got a sprint s7 edge (sm-g930p) and I was trying to flash it to 935u because I use Mint mobile and it runs on the tmobile network. I downloaded the files from another users post about doing it, plugged them into Odin, tried to flash it, but it almost instantly said fail and now my phone just keeps restarting. As far as I am aware, the s7 has current updates and I just don't know what to do. I could care less at this point if I flashed it back to the original sprint version but I'm not sure what is possible by this point and I'm hoping someone here can help me.
Thanks.

bumpp i have the exact same problem
Hi first post here but not a complete newbie. But this time I'm stuck big time and would appreciate some help.
I've got a s8 plus that recently started playing up. All of a sudden it started not being able to make or receive calls. But I noticed it only happened when the "conditional call forwarding active" message didn't appear when dialing. I figured it had something to do with call forwarding so try to change the settings on supplementary services settings but when I tried to enter the settings an error message appeared "failed to read data" I tried sending the code manually to cancel voice mail *#022# to see if it would work but I got "connection problem or invalid mmi code" so assumed it could be that the phone is trying to check with the network the forwarding settings as the call starts but for some reason it cannot communicate with it as the mmi codes don't seem to working?? (I'm not that knowledgeable in that area) I tried all the fixes online for the "connection problem or invalid mmi" but none work so I flashed the firmware through Odin even tried a few different ones, I've been playing around with Odin for a while so I'm comfortable with it, I even flashed a pit once for a note 4 that was bricked (just saying so you can see I'm comfortable with using it, not an expert just comfortable) but nothing has fixed my problem my phone is a g955fd running pie and one UI with the latest security update. I've read the duos have some issues with this. I've tried other sim cards on my phone from different carriers and the problem is the same and I'm using my sim on a borrowed phone and no problems. I'm assuming the problem goes deeper than the firmware, could this problem be boot loader related? Would a nand erase and reinstalling the boot loader fix it? Everything else works 100%
Someone please help me, the phone I'm borrowing is an apple and every day I have it I feel weaker and dumber, it's like kryptonite.
Sorry for the long post but I've been browsing xda forums for years and I know that you guys always say to share as much info as possible. By the way I've searched and couldn't find a thread about this but it there is one I promptly apologize and just ask for the link to it if not thanks in advanced.
? G935F or G935U exynos vs snapdragon
Way for snapdragon
Flash https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/development/rom-t3901074 with odin and test with hard factory reset recoery.
After, flash odin last firmware stock sammobile
Thanks
Thanks for your reply deadedge7
As I said my s8 + is a duos g955fd variant and has an Exynos processor, I'm not sure that rooting it would make much of a difference, as to my understanding rooting doesn't really change the boot loader it just allows you to install a custom recovery and roms. Which is not much different to reflashing a stock rom for all intents and purposes , but I might give it a try anyway. I guess that maybe a rom like the one in the thread you shared might give me some more hidden codes access as a root but I'm not sure. I will try to find a root like it for my variant unless you know of one and can point me to it.
Thanks
Hard reset or flash stock software or hardware problem
For iemi best way is root efs with flash twrp best way for /EFS

No solution so far. I've rooted the phone and install a couple of custom ROMs but still nothing. I'll try and roll back the firmware and see what happens. I'm no expert but I still think it is fixable. If I find a solution I'll post it on this thread. If you find one please share. My solution at the moment is getting a galaxy A50, very comparable performance with the S8 and really cheap.

I'll keep that in mind. Couple of things to note: I don't get the message conditional call forwarding active. I don't think I ever have.
I tried a different carrier SIM card(T-mobile) and it worked (I'm on At&t). I was able to make and receive calls. Even tried an out of country SIM card and received calls. But my At&t SIM works on other phones perfectly. Go figure lol.
The only other reason I can think of is maybe cos it fell a couple of times from the couch. About 1.5ft. New case kept making it slide off.
