Hello. I got my S7 Edge rooted, but there are two icons in the status bar now that I have no idea what they are to remove them. One look like, well like a hurricane or a storm would be portrayed as an icon and the other is pretty much this VOL))
AVOID AT ALL COSTS! William Htut is 100% correct. Phone keeps trying to boot but it is stuck at the T-Mobile logo. Pain in the ass to fix. Had to factory reset which fixed it but performance has dropped and now when I boot up the phone, the Samsung logo has the word “custom” under it and showing a unlocked lock under it. Thought the phone might have been rooted but it wasn’t. Checked it with Root Checker. Also has an annoying notification now that says something about Security and requires a restart which never works. Regret ever trying this out.
