Good evening all,
I have lurked around the forums for some time but never posted. I actually created an account to make this post. I am going to try to include as much information as possible. I realize that I am more than likely out of luck, but hoping the incredible people here may have an option to try.
While on vacation, my phone got gathered up with bed sheets and ran through a wash cycle. I am pretty certain the battery was dead so I don't think the phone was on but nevertheless it didn't help it to get "cleaned."
I immediately put the phone in some rice and left it for about 3 days before trying anything. I turned the device on, it booted up as normal but it was as if the touch screen wasn't working as it wasn't recognizing at all when I touched something. However, the Home and option buttons on each side worked. I decided to put it back in the rice and left it alone for about 4 more days.
Now the phone is stuck in what seems a boot loop. If I plug the device up to the charger, the battery icon stayed grey. It would constantly boot up to the "Samsung Galaxy" logo for around 15-20 seconds then turn off again.
The device does go into "Download" mode and I used Odin to flash the stock ROM back on the device. It was rooted prior to being washed but I have had to flash the stock ROM back in the past so I know the ROM file I have is what is needed for the phone. The output from Odin shows:

After trying this is still didn't help at all. If I try booting the device into Recovery I get the blue "recovery options" at the top but then the phone powers off and repeats the same actions as before (vibrates, Samsung Galaxy logo, turns off). It should be noted that if I have the device plugged into the PC it stays on the "Samsung Galaxy" logo indefinitely but if it is not plugged in it cuts off within a couple seconds.
I even tried connecting it with Kies open but it just said "Connecting" while in Download Mode and wouldn't recognize the device if on the Samsung Galaxy logo.
As I said before, I know I am probably screwed but was hoping someone may have experience with this and may have some options. From what I was reading online, if you can get the phone into "Download Mode" then it can be fixed but that hasn't been the case for me.
Thanks in advance for any help or any replies. It is greatly appreciated.

thanks for help but that also doesnt work...same error again in odin..
Hello dear friends, this is my second phone from tmobile as they sent m a defective one before, I have been out of a phone for around a month or so, and finally got one that worked. I modded it and everything worked fine.
I downloaded and installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539361
Everything worked fine, until today the app "OTA Update" told me there was a new update for my firmware. I decided I would update it since I thought it was the latest version. The update installed and it reset my phone. When my phone reset, it went into TWRP Recovery mode, I already knew something went wrong but I decided to just restart the phone and see if it would still work.
Once I restarted my phone, the screen turned "beige color" (light brown) with a white line across, I started getting worried and removed the battery.
When I tried turning on the phone again, nothing would work. If I hit the power button I get a response from the phone with a vibration. However everything is black, I see no Samsung logo nothing, just a vibration. Also the 2 physical buttons next to the power button work and vibrate and sometimes turn on if I touch them.
Download Mode
It seems my phone can barely manage to get into download mode, by that I mean the screen will remain black, however If I press the button combination to enter download mode, the screen stays black, however in ODIN it says my device is connected. I tried installing the stock ROM however I get this status:
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I also tried reinstalling TWRP so that I could get some sort of recovery, however ODIN installs it fine, but when I try to boot into recovery, my screen remains black.
If I plug the phone into my computer it is recognized by the computer as SGH-M919 however there are no folders inside of it, and the phone's LED goes yellow to indicate it's charging.
How screwed am I? Is there anything I could possibly do to restore this phone back to normal? I have such a big headache right now, and I am desperate for answers. Google has yielded no results. Please, I ask someone who has been in this situation to help me.
Edit: I somehow managed to turn on the phone, HOWEVER the screen remains black. And I can press the volume keys and hear the phone raising the volume, if I press the key down it goes lower and lower and to vibrate. The whole time I turn on the phone the screen remains black. I can feel the touchpad vibrate when I press it (Im assuming im at the lockscreen), however I cannot see anything.
Edit #2: Somehow, I don't know how, I managed to get download mode working (still black screen), I used odin to flash the stock rom, here are the results:

However, nothing was fixed. When I try to turn my phone on now, I see a blue LED and I can hear the tmobile sound when I turn on my phone, but my screen remains black.
Now I've searched just about all of Google on this, but I haven't been able to find a solution yet. Everyone here seems to know the most about this kind of stuff so I figured I'd make an account and explain my situation.
Backstory / How it happened
So, earlier today I figured I'd root my AT&T S7 Edge, I used a tutorial from Max Lee (I can't post links yet but if you need to find it I'm sure you can Google it) to get the job done, and after a while I managed to get the thing rooted. I knew absolutely nothing about what the hell flashing, roms, bricked phones, bootloops etc. were and now I only know a bit about them. So the phone was rooted just fine, I had SuperSU running, and a few other root apps, but then I figured I'd install xposed installer. So I went ahead and downloaded the wrong version (whoops) and it installed its framework and then said it needed to reboot my phone, low and behold we have a bootloop. It stays at the AT&T logo indefinitely if I'd let it. I'll happily admit to that being completely my mistake, I read the warning that it may cause a bootloop but I went ahead and installed it anyway thinking I could fix it if it happened. (This thread is my walk of shame I suppose)
Solutions I've tried
Now that the background has been explained, I'll go through the list of solutions I've tried, mind you I'm no expert at any of this so some of the info I give may seem redundant or nonsensical.
- Rebooting into recovery and clearing cache and factory resetting in every order you can imagine
* Only interesting thing I could find is that it still says custom on both the download mode (the one where you press vol down, power, and home) and when you reboot the phone and it goes through the initial animation, it shows custom with a little settings-looking icon just before it goes through the AT&T animation and takes a **** on my self esteem.
- Waiting ~1 hour for the AT&T logo to change to something other than an AT&T logo (I was desperate)
* Yeah nothing came out of that one...
- Flashing every stock firmware I could find on the internet, with every version of Odin I could find.
* Kept getting the same error, "FAIL! (Auth)". I looked it up and all I found was old threads from 2013 on the Galaxy S4, with some now-irrelevant information, I couldn't seem to get it to work, but I'm positive that's what I need to do unless you guys know another solution. Here's the full log:

Don't know what I did but after that at the download screen it says at the top left "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 4 > Binary 2
Sorry for the wall of text, I tried to format it as nicely as possible to make it somewhat readable. If anyone needs more info let me know.
Can you flash TWRP? If you can maybe you can boot into TWRP and then try to flash any rom from XDA and see if it comes alive...

Thank you for the response
I've tried getting TWRP to work, but apparently there still isn't a way to get it working on the AT&T, I was under the impression that it was only for international and Korean versions. I haven't been able to find any version of TWRP that works for my device.
However I just did try some newer stock firmware from, "theandroidsoul" which partially worked, being that I'm desperate and don't know what I'm doing I just tried flashing all three:
G935AUCS4API2 - This one worked more than the others, but it seems at some point it disconnects for whatever reason, causing it to fail. After that my phone gave me the whole "You messed up go use smart switch" deal, and smart switch was saying my device was unsupported. That said I'm not sure what is causing the fake USB disconnect cause I can hear the windows sound for the USB disconnecting, but I'm not sure why.
Here's the log:

I found it interesting that it got even less far than before.
G935AUCS2APH1 - Stopped at lksecapp.mbn then went to FAIL! (Auth). There was no disconnect or reconnect
G935AATT2APG1 - Same as above
I seem to be stuck in a similar situation. Did you ever find a fix?

I had the at&t s7 edge before and had the same problem but not sure if it was the same odin error.
But this is how you flash a stock rom on the at&t:
-You must use the princecomsy odin (search for it on google)
-Here is the stock rom with the latest security update (type "G935AUCS4BRA1" in the google search bar)
(I wasn't allowed to post links)
unzip and flash
tell me how it goes
Solved!
now im sure the emmc chip a.k.a. the storage on the mainboard is not working correctly I have to buy a new Mainboard. Does anyone know how much note 4 phones are affected by this?
If I try to reboot my Phone is wont start again. I need to remove the battery and wait at least 20 sec before I can boot up the device.
My phone curently operates with RR/N (restruction remix nugat) I have instaled this firmware over TWRP accoring tho this tread https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-resurrection-remix-5-8-0-t3523130
I had installed this rom on the same day I recived the phone (I dont think the error comes from the rom)
even in TWRP the boot to system doesn't work it seems like the phone stucks somewhere while reboot.
somtimes when I boot up the phone it automaticaly goes in the download mode and at the top line stands:
coud not do normal boot
mmc_read failed
In odin sometimes the feedback is PASS! and Sometimes failed
I have downloaded modem, bootloader and Stock_ROM from here https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=26335 and flashed it over odin:

the auto reboot funktion from odin seems to work well.
sometimes, after removing the battery and ~20 sec waiting the phone does not respond to the press on the powerbuton and seems to be dead. but if I plug it over usb in to my windows computer the system sound corresponding to "Error in device connection" comes.
After removing the Battery and waiting around 20 min sometimes less, I can sometimes turn it on
what should I do? buy a new Motherboard on ebay or is there something i can doo to fix it?
thank for your responses
PS: sorry for my bad english i'm from switzerland and 16 yo
Hi all,
I have a S7 Edge - SM-G935F (UK) - that I think had/has a software/firmware issue. It would boot and be ok if left idle but after about 5 minutes of use it would crash and reboot.
I connected to Smart Switch and it tried to update the software to the latest version but due to the device crashing after a few minutes, this failed. Then I was left with the blue error screen advising a software update has failed and to use the Firmware Recovery mode on Smart Switch. So I tried this and this fails at either 5% or 16% referencing an issue with the device.
Then I tried flashing the stock firmware in ODIN and this fails almost instantly with the following log entries:

Have you taken a look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/guide-onelatest-stock-fw-csc-root-t3702963 ? It might be of use. If that fails, report back in. Now I think of it, report back anyway.
On top of the problem you got, i got the problem that when i open "smart switch", or Kies, none detects the phone, supposedly i should be able to recover it with the emergency thingy..
Anyway i can get to download mode, but it also fails and im using XEU-G935FXXU2ERGE

Hey, I've only just logged back in to check this forum - the link you shared no longer works, would you happen to know of another link that may help? I still have the problem - left this device as a dead in the water project!
Thanks a lot
