I have an s7 edge sm-g935w8 (Canadian) model and I've heard on the firmware ending with APD has a battery drain bug and I'm thinking about downgrading the stock ROM to the rom ending in APB. I downloaded the ROM but the site didn't specify which carrier it is for. I am on Rogers but I'm wondering if it turns out to be a bell ROM it would still work. I compared a rogers ROM and bell ROM and they have the exact file name. So can anyone confirm its OK to flash? I don't want to brick it. I read somewhere that all the Canadian Roms are the same.

That topic is about the European S7Edge (SM-G910F), NOT the Canadian one (a whole different firmware!)...

Thank you very much but I have downloaded the firmware already but I'm just not sure if its rogers or bell. What were to happen if I flashed it and it was bell and it didn't work? Soft brick? I would be able to go into stock recovery and factory reset if anything.
Haha nevermind I realized it was the wind mobile carrier version that I downloaded.
Haven't taken the new firmware yet. Can I still root with engboot?

You cant... and the V4 bootloader prevents you from going back to rootable firmware. Sorry... unless a new roit method is discovered, your **** out of luck

Probably stuck, but you should still be able go between the latest U and V firmwares. I am giving up on a non engboot root method. Sammy signed that kernel so it should always flash and permit root. But, that's not a well educated guess...

You can't. The only reason we can is because we have a leaked engineering kernel that allows root. Sadly Verizon killed root on the S6 about a year ago.

Hello, I just tried rooting my verizon s7 edge on the ph1 update using the link someone on this thread provided to someone else and am now stuck in a bootloop with the verizon logo stuck on the screen. How did you achieve root on yours? by using the same steps? Also, what do you think could have possibly went wrong and how would I be able to fix this? Your help would be much appreciated.

If you're stuck on the boot logo, you HAVE TO factory reset the device. When I rooted this happened to me and after doing the factory reset, it worked like a charm

When I was stuck, I did and the factory reset and it booted up right and I didn't have to re-flash the kernel. If dosen't boot up right away, re-flash stock firmware, don't dis able anything, then flash the kernel and it will work .

Oh ok, well hopefully it boots right up. lol So I really haven't been into rooting and flashing roms for awhile now so Id thought I give it a try on this phone. What would you say would be best for performance/stability/battery life as far as roms go? Or do you just stick with stock? i do not do a whole lot on my phone and I also don't really use much of the features that came along with the s7 edge. i just use it for light gaming/social media/picture taking. So I guess what I am asking is what is your recommendation?
hi everyone. im brandon and im 12 years old. i recently flashed a moto g4 rom on my s7 egde on odin or somthing and now the fone doesnt turn on. plz help. at the moment, my dad bought me a normal s7 but it sux i miss my s7 edge. the egde doesnt turn on, only in this 'download mode thingy. bye

If you can acces download mode, you have no problem. Download from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com an original firmware and flash with odin.

Maybe your partition is broken. Search for am offiial firmware here at xda with PIT file and flash that. Be aware you will lose all your data

Okay very simple... you need to flash the stock room for your phone. It has to be the exact model for your phone. You can acess this file from sam mobile. Once downloaded use odin to flash it on to your phone with a computer.

dont panic buddy
first of all :
power off your phone
at the same time push these buttons : power + volume down + home
when blue screen comes out push the volume up button
then it is DOWNLOAD MODE or ODIN MODE right now
so u may be able to use odin v3.10+ to flash the stock rom on your phone without any problem
How did you end up flashing a Moto G4 ROM through Odin?
Odin only accepts tar files, and Moto ROMs usually come zipped and need to be extracted and flashed through fastboot or through TWRP if they're custom ROMs.

That's the real question
Search the right Rom for your country here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935F/
1) Create a account and download the rom
2) Extract the downloaded rom with WinRAR
3) Download Odin and insert the 4 files in the right spot inside Odin
4) Boot phone into download mode, connect it to the pc and click flash

I'm still confused, how could someone actually do that? And then follow up by flashing another incorrect ROM for the flat S7 instead of the S7 edge. And then go on to say that he can't find ANY firmwares for the S7 edge? Really?
Something really shady about this thread.
Says he's on the S7 Edge, but his sig says sent from a flat S930F S7.
If he's 12 (391 posts too), then I'm Donald Trump.
Why would you flash a Moto G ROM on your S7E? Surely it doesn't take too much realisation to know that it wasn't going to end well? Just flash the .pit file if you can still access download mode. If you can't, then a service centre will be the only way.

Very easy to fix. You'll need to flash the stock rom for that phone using odin. Get the stock rom from from samobile and there are many tutorials online
The problem is the kid kept flashing random rom. Please make sure the correct rom. Maybe uploading the box's picture would help.

Seems like it.
1. There's no way to flash non Samsung firmware through odin.
2. No s7 edge firmwares? Really? Updato and sammobile, have all of them.

I think he just meant if you want to have the phone reset to how it came out of the box. There is no root available yet.

So is it true that you cant cross carrier flash the firmware like the S7? Supposedly samsung blocks it or odin is outdated?

Yes download Samsung smart switch to your pc and then down load the latest firmware. Once downloaded flash with odin but do not use the home csc.

Have a question here, we get a lot of US imported phones here in Pakistan, mostly AT&T and Verizon S7 edge phones.
They've got carrier bloat and whatnot, I remember reading people flashing Verizon ROMs to get that to work properly on their AT&T phone and flashing AT&T on a T-Mobile phone to get that to work properly, so if one flashes a G935U firmware on a G935V, is it expected to work fine and act as an ordinary Snapdragon 820 S7 edge with no carrier bloat or anything?
All replies will be appreciated.
Thanks

I have, but there have been reports of it not working for some people as well, so I wanted to know if it's a legit method or if it's trial and error and it works for some and it doesn't work for others, because if it does work officially, then it'd solve a huge headache on choosing US variant phones here and we can all relax since the 935U firmware can be flashed on carrier branded phones.
Now, I need to get my hands on an American S7 edge to test this out myself.
Off course without testing nothing can be confirmed ... But most people r too faint hearted to try it

All of them. AP includes the system, recovery and cache, CP includes modem, BL includes bootloader, and CSC includes sales code.
The ROMs for S7 usually come with CSC and HOME_CSC, the latter will not wipe your device and keep the Verizon CSC which may cause issues and require you to factory reset your phone, the normal CSC files wipes the data and switches your CSC to the new one you're trying to flash.
Choose whichever one you want but I'd suggest the normal CSC just to be safe.
