Help! Screen stays red - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I installed stock firmware via Odin and after the phone booted all I can see is a red screen. The phone seems to work however, I can adjust the volume (it makes a noise when I do) and I hear a voice assistant.
I have no idea how this happened. Anyone have an idea?

Seems to me you may of flashed firmware for the flat & not edge?

You're right, I'm an idiot. Thank you so much!

We all make mistakes ....all part of learning......just flash for your correct model and all should be just dandy ?

No data after flashing update to stock kit kat 4.4.2!

Have a D802 on three uk. Like others went down the route of rooting and flashing cm 11 on my device. All quite straight forward, never had a problem... decide to purchase an s5 so now need to sell my lg. Originally flashed a stock Rom through TWRP and now unable to receive data. Though it was a problem with the rom so I flashed LG firmware through update tool. And have three UK firmware on but same problem!! All toggles selected..data,3G, airplane mode on off, reboot. ..nothing. my 3 UK sim works fine on my s5 so not that. I can get signal fine but no data. Would really appreciate some help as I cannot understand what's the problem. Especially as I can get signal but no data and works fine in my s5 ?

I suspect you didn't do a FULL wipe before flashing....
Suggest you try that first as the APNs for 3UK may be corrupt.
You could try manually setting the APNs but honestly, the Factory Reset option and reflash is easier and fully effective.
The one thing I didn't try. Worked. Thanks very much.....wanna by an lg g2 haha. Cheers bud

By the way, could you give me a link to the tool that lets you go back to stock? I was thinking of rooting and doing various things, but I want to make sure I know how to go back to stock so that I can take future OTA's.
I got all my info here bud. First page.

Bricked S7 after flashing wrong ROM

**WARNING: I'm a noob when it comes to technical terms, I JUST switched from iOS to Android, so please mind my low level of knowledge**
Okay, so I tried rooting my phone but I think I used the wrong ROM or something. And it keeps giving me this error. PLEASE help!!
My phone is a samsung galaxy s7 edge SM-G935FD (Purchased from the UAE and its unlocked)
The problem was that I tried rooting it using ODIN 3 then it gave me a FULL red screen, like nothing else, just plain red, then it loaded this screen (image below) and when I try getting my phone OUT of download mode, it just goes in it once again (Yes, this is what shows up after I tried rooting my phone now its stuck in download mode with this screen) Please help im really scared!!!

If you can put your S7 to DOWNLOAD MODE, just download stock rom from sammobile and flash it back to stock.

Thanks, but the UAE version doesn't show up D: Which version do I use?
ALSO: Will I lose my data? If so, it's okay. Im just curious.
Yes you will loose all data. But i think that is not a problem since you dont have a phone right now i was reading that you can flash a g935f firmware too but not sure. .

Thanks. I found the UAE version for the SM-G935F model and it's downloading as I type this. Thank you all for trying to help me. I appreciate it.
Also, what version of ODIN do you suggest I use?
Thanks in advance.

Use the latest version, you can find download links on this thread.
Look if new software update is possible.
Hi, I suggest you youtube your model and watch a video walk through. I do this every time I get a new phone. Apologies to anyone if I've offended for mentioning youtube!
Its still not working! I need help, please. I do not have a phone and tried taking it to multiple stores but none offered to help me.

[INSTALLED] SM-G935U over SM-G935T Firmware? What's so good about Un

Hello XDA Family
I recently flashed G935U Firmware *4API3 over G935T *4APIA, last night to be precise and right off the bat I must say that INDEED IT IS AND FEELS FASTER THAN STOCK *4APIA. You can just UNINSTALL instead of DISABLING bloat apps.
But other than the debloated firmware, what can we get about this Unlocked version? What is so good about it? Why SM-G935U over SM-G935T Firmware?
Pros & cons? Would you go back to stock?
Running September patch.
I'm still on APG1. Do you think it's safe to flash the API3 U firmware over it without taking t-mobiles PIA OTA?
I believe you would get the whitepages and tethering functions back.

this was too good too be true everything works great except for two issues that i see so far the major issue i have is that cant receive any incoming text messages non at all ....and the second issue is not too major for me but it might be for other people there is no video calling icon in the dialer so im assuming that video calling is not working other than those two issues i hate that i have to flash back tmobile firmware but i need to be able to text and receive text i even tried other messaging apps like hangouts and facebook messenger and whatsapp dont work i even tried out allo just to make sure even reset APN setting and reconnected to other towers in my area it all seems hopeless any other ideas are very much welcomed.

No question is dumb my friend.
I downloaded the SM-G935U TMO ....the one for T-Mobile as there is an UNLOCKED version for every US Carrier.
I heard AT&T and T-Mobile are so far the best firmwares of them all.
Try downlading the SM-G935U(ending with *4API3*)
1. Make sure you use the LATEST ODIN VERSION (3.12.3)
2. Latest SAMSUNG USB DRIVERS (v15.61)

Make sure you do a backup of what yoh currenty have, flash the G935U Firmware with ALL THE 4 FILES IN THEIR SLOTS.
After that, make sure to boot into recovery mode menu, wipe cache + data...reboot.
Try it.

If u had an iphone before u have to unlink ur phone number from imessage. Something like that happened to me that was not getting messages and that was the reason
Installed CSC as XAA variant, so far so good isnt laggy as tmo stock will report battery life after few days, text messages, data and calls are working fine.
Thank you OP
Maybe add the correct APN? for msg?

Signal problems S7 Edge (G935F) Android 7

Hi,
I have a problem with my phone, after I have instaled android 7 ( S8 port but original 7 it's same).
I have full signal, and my carier is displayd, but when I try to call from another phone sound like my phone is turned off, i have 2 x s7 edge with same problem.
How to fix? have someone this problem?
Thanks in advance and Sorry for my bad English
Have you tried to reset your phone to factory settings.
Sometimes it can solve the problems that usually appears after updating phone system.
If u tried but it still not working you can reinstall the ROM or u always can find another costume ROM to install instead.
Please let me know if your problem has been fixed!

I have tried 6-7 Roms and have same problem..i tried factory reset, same network settings reset..same..
Maybe the problem in the network modem not in the OS. Then you need to change it in any service center.
