I basically have the same exact problem as this guy from another forum, there's this new update that pops up on my phone but I cannot install it properly.
"Hello all, The latest april update to my International exynos S7 Edge just got pushed and i tried installing it. My phone reboots, goes to the blue screen and shows an android image, and says "Applying Android update..." it gets to about 27% and fails, shows the dead android mascot with the yellow exclamation point, and then the phone reboots normally. And then a pop up appears on home screen saying Update Failed, please visit service center. What should i do to install the update? i've tried 3 times already to apply the update" -kofman13
Download Samsung smart switch to your computer, plug in your phone and update from the program. It should update fine

What he said.
Failing that you can use Odin and Download the firmware and flash.
If the device boots and its rooted you could use Flashfire.
If the device is rooted, you wont be able to install the update via OTA
If you check a couple of my previous posts, i have re-posted a link to a Utility to download the firmware for you
(You are not stuck with slow download speeds from sammy website)
Am in a good mood here is the link, no need to check previous posts

I know this isnt the right place for this thread, but i lost my other login credentials and had to start fresh, so Im posting here....
Device: SM-T230NU
Problem: I used a website outside of XDA to root my device. I followed the instructions precisely too, I than unplugged the device hoping that replugging and restarting odin would fix the problem i have/had as displayed by the picture. I than tried rebooting the device, and got this error message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. Well I downloaded Kies 3, and much to my surpise I got an error message about the samsung galaxy tab 4 7.0 not being supported by Kies 3. I am now downloading Kies 2.6, so I can atleast get this device booting normally.
If you knew this was not the place to post, why did you post a question here? A play by play of your device root is not of much interest to anyone! I hope you got it fixed up anyway!
It's been fixed. I found an alternate DL site that had Odin in the package..I used ODIN to run cf_auto_root which created that firmware upgrade issue...I had to Odin firmware from the links I found on these forums...it's rooted now though
So I recently got a Galaxy S4 last night, I rooted it with Kingoroot and it worked great. I then went to sleep and left it alone to wake up to it trying to install a AT&T update and then turning off and booting to a screen that says "Samsung Custom" and does the same processs again.
I have spent more than 2 hours trying to fix this with no avail.
I tried to install stock 4.2.2 but I receive as Fail in Odin which I learned is because you can't install older Android OSes.I then tried to install stock recovery because when I try to boot to recovery it tries to install the update again.
No luck.
I heard of something called a MF3 and downloaded the files but not sure how to use them...
I can still get into Download Mode
This is my main phone so I really need help.
I've read people got soft brick while updating their phones rooted with kingroot!
Try flashing the stock kernel
Google everything before you make sensitive changes in your phone!
Although rooting isnt that sensitive these days!

Use this guide. You can stop at section 2 if you want to stay at Kitkat or go to section 3 if you want to update to Lollipop.
You can definitely install older versions, but you have to start with a full ROM like NB1. My guess is you flashed an incremental update like NC1, NJ4, etc. so Odin failed. When you Odin though, make sure Kies is completely closed or better yet, uninstall it as they hate each other
PS: This is assuming you have AT&T S4. I have no clue about other variants.
First I rooted my phone a couple days ago and I came upon this problem with the my phone when I decided i didn't want to have it rooted anymore so... i tried to unroot the Samsung Galaxy s7 Edge using odin3 and when i did. The bar said it failed. Next I shut it down by using the power button and i saw a blue screen saying "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.". Then i went to install Smart Switch PC software and when i got to the part where you had to press okay after putting the serial number and model number in. The program would always crash and it didn't leave any error message. I then tried Samsung Keis but that didn't work as well. I got an error message saying "Please check the model name and enter it". So now i am stuck with the blue screen. Any solutions in which i can solve this please?

Since you are in a rush, have you tried to Odin flash the Samsung Official stock S7 / S7 Edge firmware yet?
That would be the fastest and surest way to get your phone up and running properly in less than 20 minutes.
Trying to get your phone up and running properly any other way would take a lot longer and most likely you
would end up odin flashing the official stock firmware in any case.
You can find the proper official stock firmware for your phone's model at http://sammobile.com or
you can download the stock official firmware from this fast direct download link: http://tinyurl.com/ht62lko
Good luck, have a great day!
When Smart Switch or Kies ask for the model number, always make sure you enter 'SM-' before the model Eg, SM-G935F

I've found myself in the above situation when messing with CSCs, the fastest solution is to keep an Odin package always on hand ready to flash whenever you screw up, I've never trusted the sketchy Samsung software.

Hello, all!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930A). I originally used the PrinceComsy post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/root-s7-att-g930a-g935a-t3410538) to root my S7. This was back about 6 months ago. I ended up using an iPhone (for change of pace) and came across my S7 again and wanted to go back. It was working at the time, no problem. Since then, however, I must have done something within Odin to break it as now it is stuck at the Samsung logo boot screen with the "custom"/unlocked padlock icon on it. I cannot boot to recovery mode as when I do, it simply flashes "recovery booting..." indefinitely.
I think I need help to get this thing working again. I don't necessarily care if it has to get wiped. That said, I am willing to do what I need to do in order to get this damned thing fixed. I have tried flashing a few different G930A firmwares, but Odin either just says "failed" or "model dismatch." I have no idea what to do and all the threads I've read so far seem to be different than what I am going through.
Any ideas? Anything is much appreciated. Take care!
As it would turn out, the only firmware that I got to actually successfully flash to the S7 was the SM-930U firmware. I can now get into recovery mode and I can at least get passed the initial logon logo. When I start the phone, it takes me to the setup as if it is a new phone, however, after a certain amount of time, the phone will randomly reboot. Hmmm... going to continue to tinker with it.
Here is how I fixed my issue:
1. Downloaded and flashed the SM-G930U firmware using Odin3 v3.12 to my SM-G930A S7. This fixed the issue with not being able to get into Recovery Mode and with the phone stalling at the first boot-up Samsung logo screen.
2. Once I was able to get into recovery mode (verify this... my original issue was that it would simply flash "recovery booting..." and go nowhere.
3. I downloaded the Nougat QE1 firmware from this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...mware-g930a-qe1-android-7-0-6-4-2017-t3617101
4. Flashed above firmware.
5. Rebooted a couple of times and I got into first time setup within Android (I could also tell that it worked because the ATT chime came back after rebooting).
Hope this helps someone out there! Been working on this for a couple days and it is nice that it is now working

Hi!
I'm posting here because I did not have a high post count.
Yesterday I rooted my SM-G350F with Magisk. Because I'm new to rooting, all I did was follow a video. (Samsung Galaxy S7 /S7 Edge Root Android 8.0 100% Working by Android Doctor published on May 8, 2018).
Everything worked as shown in the video.
After I rooted my phone, I wanted to test out this PoGo spoofing thing. It said something about google play services and some other stuff. I thought I had to download the google play services apk and replace it with the built-in one. I attempted to remove the app with Lucky Patcher which ended up with the phone spamming me with the common app stopped working pop-up (which I assume was the google play services). I kind of got the pop-up spam to stop but I couldn't download anything from any browser at that point. I thought I really messed up with my phone so I booted it into TWRP. I went to wipe EVERYTHING with the TWRP app which got me boot the phone normally with the welcome startup. I could see the WiFi's and connect to them. When I got to the "Checking for Updates" part, it got stuck there. I thought I should just try to flash stock firmware on my Samsung S7 Edge. I proceeded to attempt a flash with Odin but kept getting boot.img fail. Now when I start my phone I get the "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.". When I try to do that, it says that it's an "Unsupported device". Now the phone is still recognized in the Odin software and that's all I can pretty much boot up with. I can't even boot to TWRP anymore. I read that as long Odin still recognizes it, I still have hope.
I am using the latest Odin.
I got my stock from the sam mobile site /samsung/galaxy-s7-edge/firmware/SM-G935F/PRO/download/G935FXXS3ERI1/236182/
The chipset is Exynos 8890.
I hope someone out there can help!
Thanks in advance!
Boot into download mode. Connect to your PC and fire odin. Use latest firmware from sammobile. Tick Nand erase and flash. Hope this helps
Same issue for me, i hope you find something, and if you do, please let me know!
