[guide] sm-g9350 s7 edge qualcomm sd820 root | rom + root + twrp + xposed



I take no credit for this except in that I've figured out via Google, XDA, Chinese ROM sites, etc... how to properly root the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Hong Kong Variant: SM-G9350 Qualcomm sd820. I have had a lot of people asking how to do this, no to make things easier here's the guide:)

1) Download and install S6-Crom.apk, it will allow the bootloader to be unlocked for the S7 Edge SM-G9350:

2) Enable Developer Options in Settings and turn on OEM Unlock.

3) Make sure you have samsung phone drivers so ODIN will recognize your phone as <Added!>

4) Download ODIN + AURORA ROM then open ODIN and place the Aurora tar file in as the AP within ODIN:

5) Enter Download mode on phone by restarting and immediately holding down HOME + VOL DOWN + POWER buttons, then when prompted, press VOL UP to confirm. Now connect phone via USB cable to your PC, notice ODIN says <Added>, then press START. Wait until your phone reboots.

6) If TWRP boots up, click the right button that is in Chinese, that will allow you to choose language. If ROM boots up, scroll to select language.

7) Download this ZIP (Aroma ROM version 4, translated to English) to your internal sdcard, then Reboot into Recovery (Reboot then hold HOME + VOL UP + POWER), Install ZIP:

8) [OPTIONAL] Install Xposed (I used this to get rid of Chinese Lunar Date in Notification Bar:
- Download Xposed systemless ZIP to internal sdcard: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...9&d=1465938666
- Download and Install Xposed Installer apk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpos...aller-t3137758
- Reboot into recovery (HOME + VOL UP + POWER), and Install Xposed ZIP you downloaded.
- If you then install the module "Insert Custom Text" and change Date to E, MMM, dd
then the date will show as ie: Mon, Jul 04, NO MORE CHINESE LUNAR CHARACTERS!

That's all, and thanks goes to:
