Hi,
I realy need your help,
I have a S7 edge who is stuck at the samsung logo.
I have flashed some stock rom (all in 7.0) via odin 3.12 after a wipe factory but nothing. So i decided to try it with Kies and smartSwitch but still nothing.
I have access to recovery and download mode.
FRP lock: On
The phone is not rooted, and the usb debugging not enabled.
The phone print this in the download mode:
ODIN MODE
Download speed: FAST
Product-Name: SM-G935F
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
FRP lock: ON
Secure Downlaod: Enabled
Warranty Void: 0(0x000)
RP SWREV: B:1 K:0 S:0
After the installation of the flashed rom in the download mode, the phone reboot with a blue screen, a progress bar but it stop to 32%, and then it is printed "erasing.." and the phone reboot and is still stuck.
I have re-tryed with Kies, now the phone is with a green screen with 2 white Gears : "android is starting" but it is still stuck (i let him all the night but nothing)
i don't know what to do

You have to use smart switch emergency recovery function to restore your phone. It is a stand alone function within smart switch.
All you need is your phone model and serial number.
Apparently you missed a step when preparing your phone for flashing.
Or you can continue to use Odin which when you plug the USB in will show that a connection is made even though the phone says it's not in download mode.

If that did not work, it looks like the memory chip on the mother board is damaged. Take it in if it is still under warranty.

To do the S7 FRP OFF - Put phone in download mode
Once phone is in download mode.
Flash the files which i will provide.
You Only need to flash boot.tar via odin for respective models (example for s7 use G930 Qualcomm folder) for (s7 edge use G935 Qualcomm folder)
Once you flash the boot tar file. The phone will reboot and it will enable ADB. Run the Bat file which i will provide and it will remove the FRP lock
Once done put the phone in Downlaod mode and flash stock ROM.
The whole process takes less than 10 mins.
Same Idea for S7 Exynos phones... put phone in downlaod mode and then flash the file (G930F(ENGroot) for s7 models & (G935F_Root for s7 edge models). Once done phone will reboot. Then use this bat file (g935f.bat). Once this is executed locks will be removed and phone will go in download mode. Flash stock Boot.img and ALL DONE.

After flashing boot.tar, when i run the .bat, it says error: closed
EDIT: i have to enter into the recovery mod and select "adb update" in order to make my phone detected by my computer
Those files are for the S7. Do they work for the S7 Edge also?
Edit - I tried it and it fails in odin. My phone is bricked.

Works !!!
Sorry to revive an old thread but I think it might help people recover from a bootloop with a bit of addtional explanation than initially provided.
So I have an S7 Edge as a backup phone and hadn't used it for a while. Google FRP was activated. I tried to update to a newer firmware through Odin (can't OTA since it's from Tmo and i'm in Canada). Anyways for whatever reason it failed in the middle and I was stuck in a bootloop that wouldn't stop. I tried downgrading, I tried factory, I tried new versions, nothing would do, I'm assuming because of FRP.
So I followed Rony Raj's post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71906126&postcount=17 but kept getting stuck. The thing is once you flash the proper Boot.tar file, the phone will appear to still be in a bootloop. You will have to go with the screen (the phone) and the sound of the connection and disconnection from your computer. So basically just sync with the sounds and time it so you open the ''S7 & S7 Edge QUALCOMM.bat'' file at the exact time your phone reconnects and it'll work. I had to do it about 6-7 times before i got it right.
When that is done your phone will restart in download mode. When you do just flash the latest version of the firmware you get from AndroidFileHos*.com or Sammobil*.com. Make sure you select all 4 files in Odin (BL, AP, CP and SELECT CSC HOME for CSC - NOT CSC).
Once all that is done your phone will restart and everything should be fine, well that worked for me
Thanks a lot to @rony raj for putting together the files and the steps to save my G935

[Workaround] Reboot to recovery from download mode using odin

If your stuck in a boot-loop and you have a broken Home button or Volume buttons (Heck may be even both ), you can't enter to recovery and fix the soft-brick. I had the same problem and after hours of searching i found a way to boot into recovery using odin.
Steps:
1. Use MICRO USB JIG to enter download mode (Can buy on ebay and local phone spare part shops)
2. Set odin settings to Auto Reboot, F.Reset Time. (Reccomended cf auto root odin, It is preset for this type of flashes)
3. Load tar.md5 to AP and flash it
Voila, Now you are on twrp :highfive::good:
Flash twrp image from sd card and use reboot to recovery option or you can flash a rom directly from this
(If you are on a stock rom it may get overwritten, so use above step to flash recovery)
For other phone models: Use cache.img in chainfire autoroot and recovery.img(Don't use the one that comes with cf auto-root) of your phone model and search & follow instructions to build a odin tar.md5. Make sure to follow file order(of your device) in odin tar other wise your phone will brick.
This is not my sole work. I only followed the instruction and built the odin tar.md5 file

Samsung S7 Edge stuck in Boot Loop

Hello everyone!
I have a Samsung SM-G935F which after a system update (a patch) is no longer working, it's stuck in boot loop.
When I turn it on I get: Kernel Rev check file Device 1, Binary 0.
I can get into the Download Mode and it will be recognized by ODIN.
But I don't know how to proceed in order to solve the presented scenario. Can you help me out? Thanks!
Regards,
Oliver
Hi, First you need to try to perform a format through recovery,holding power+home+volume up.
If phone did not boot,Then download firmware from sammobile using an app called SamFrim you can find it by simple search on google.
After you downloaded thr firmware,Launch odin and boot your phone into download mode by holding power+home+volume down.
Extract the firmware and it will generate 5 files
AP
BL
CP
CSC
Home_Csc
Add every file to its correct place in odin
AP
CP
BL
Csc( don't use Home_Csc,Because we want to perform a full wipe)
Then hit start, be careful not to unplug the cable,once it's done phone will auto reboot,leave it,It will do everything by its own.
Btw you must use latest odin version because older version doesn't support Oreo roms
Good Luck

(Potential) Root for Samsung J330L (Korean variant)

This is a guide to an untested yet possible method of rooting the Samsung J330L
So far I have been able to install Clockwork mod successfully and wanted to share my findings.
(links at the end of page)
NOTE: I take no credit for creating/editing the files listed below
*IF you follow this guide you may void your warranty*
*I am not responsible or liable for any damages while following or attempting to follow this guide*
The Korean variant of the J3 is relatively easy to install CWM.
You first must install, as with any Samsung device, Odin.
You should be able to download the latest Odin from there web page below
Secondly you need a 2017 firmware set for the j330L both to do the installation and to flash if anything goes wrong.
After installing Odin and extracting the .tar files you will need to put you phone in download mode by pressing and holding the home vol- and power keys
when you get a blue screen hit vol+. You should be in download mode.
Connect your phone to your computer and open Odin. You will need to install the BL AP CP and CSC files. (For the CSC file use the HOME file)
reboot and boot back into download mode
Flash the recovery.tar in the AP slot.
Reboot to recovery by holding down Home power and vol+
----Past this point i have had no success flashing magisk or super SU so I am currently working on flashing a ROM for root(causes boot loop)

CWM is dead.
Your device should be able to rooted using TWRP or use Magisk manager to root the boot image.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...overy-twrp-3-1-1-1-samsung-galaxy-j3-t3709056
True but at the time of posting TWRP causes boot loop. I haven't tried the TWRP version that you posted tho. I will give it a shot.
Ok After much testing i have successfully rooted the damn thing with the twrp installation above and the latest Super User but installing magisk or installing a custom rom now causes bootloop. This damned phone is irritating AF but root does work.... now i need to find out how remove my kernel so i can base a rom off it
