I switched from iphone to android recently and i tried to root. Something went wrong because it told me the root didn't work and I couldn't text or make calls. I tried to unroot it but that made it get stuck in a boot loop, where the phone keeps booting up to the hands free activation screen, failing, and rebooting again. I was told the only fix was flashing the stock firmware. I tried searching and I came up with no results for my model number (G935S). Is there either a place that does have my model number, or a way to put a firmware that doesn't match my model on the phone?
Also, I have a backup of my phone and don't know how to put it back on my phone after a factory reset.
i've used updato.com to find/download firmware for my 935FD. here's a link for the 935S S7 edge; not sure however, which version would apply to your phone. GALAXY S7 edge | SM-G935S.
Thank you. Although i put the wrong model by mistake. It shouldv'e been G935PV

I have been trawling the internet for literally hours.
This is my final hope before I get really desperate with this device.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Edge+ online as a demo unit so I could use it as a glorified tablet,
since it was a demo unit it had demo software which I tried to remove using the 5444 password
trick on the retail software to no avail. So I decided to root the phone using Odin and the
SM-G928 F/I/C/K/S software as i couldn't find the particular software for this phone anywhere.
This worked but every time I booted the phone it would give me the 'KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING'
on the top left of the device which I promptly ignored and continued to use the device, I downloaded
root check which said my device was rooted and then I downloaded system app uninstaller to try remove all the trial
software, which unfortunately didn't work. I then attempted a hard reset, which also didn't work and just
rebooted the device, finally i decided to download Flashify and TWRP recovery to try and delete the trial software
from there. At this point I was just messing around with the phone when I noticed a thread that said i needed
titanium backup to fully delete the software, so i rebooted the phone and it has been stuck on the bootup screen
ever since, I have tried several methods to get it to work including re-flashing the software onto it,
(the SM-G928F one I mean) but i simply cannot find the correct one for my device.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :good::good::good::good:
The device is running 5.1.1
I am not sure of the kernel or anything like that as I am quite noobish.

First thing to do is to get into STOCK recovery and do a "Factory Data Reset"
or you can boot the phone up and go into "Settings>Backup and Reset" and
select "Factory data reset".
After doing that odin flash the proper S6 Edge+ Lollipop 5.1.1 or the new Marshmallow 6.0 firmware.
You can see the exact model of your G928 phone by going into settings and scroll down to "about"
there you will find the specific model of your phone.
Be sure to ONLY odin flash the correct firmware for your phone's model.
Once you do all the above you will no longer see:
'KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING'
The only reason you see that is because the phone is rooted.
After odin flashing the proper firmware your phone will no longer be rooted
unless you root the phone again.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

I can't boot the phone up, if I could I would, I can't find the software for this particular model, which is aforementioned SM-G928X,
If you could help me with that, I would appreciate it. The phone is stuck on the Saumsung boot up, it doesn't actually boot up into
the lock screen so I can't do anything with it, if you could help me with link to the SM-G928X firmware that I could use in ODIN
that would be greatly appreciated cause the phone is a paper weight at this point.
I had a moment of madness and decided to do what you said anyway, and I can't factory reset the phone from the recovery menu as it says
its due to security policies or something of that nature, which again I mentioned in the initial thread.
Also to clarify, I can't flash my own firmware because I can't find the firmware anywhere on the internet.

I have done a bit of research on your G928X device and I think you are in luck.
Check out this link carefully http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=8759&c=samsung_sm-g928x_galaxy_s6_edgeplus_lte-a_samsung_zen
and you will see that the firmware in your phone is identical to many other G928 firmwares as you will see in that link.
Odin flashing any of the ZEN firmwares in that link cannot brick your phone, the worse thing that can happen is that it will not
work. (just like it's not working for you right now).
I would go a head and odin flash the S6 Edge+ G928T firmware which is also the ZEN baseband firmware, there are many S6 Edge+ phones
using the exact same firmware. All Samsung S6 Edge+ firmwares contain the modem but not all of them will be compatible with your
carrier but at least you will be able to boot your phone normally without getting stuck on boot screen or bootlooping to start with.
You can get the G928T firmware from http://sammobile.com OR
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636004597 (fast download)
Good luck,
Have a great day!
I have the S7 Edge SM-G935F, which is the exynos version I believe.
It starting with unrooting, which boot looped my device. I have tried samsung kies firmware recovery but the download always stopped at a certain percentage saying an error was found in the dowloaded file. I tried to fix it by flashing what I believed was the stock bootloader with odin but that made my problem worse.
It turns on and shows a red coloured screen, and the voice assistant kicks in to babble but seems to not respond to touch at all. I think I can go into download mode, because I've seen a shop assistant get into it when I took it to see if they can fix it. Unfortunately It would cost 230 euros, which I cannot afford. And in case you are wondering, no I didn't buy the phone. I got it as a birthday gift, as I never owned a smartphone before that.
I loved trying out apps and tweaking the phone with root, but unfortunately I wasn't careful enough.
Is there any hope for me? Thanks in advance if anyone could help me out.
EDIT: Thank you to both replies! I did as you said and I downloaded the correct firmware. It seems the one I flashed before was actually incompatible. Everything works now thought, I lost all data but better than having no phone.

Go to sammobile.com, create an account & download the latest firmware for SM-G935F. Install Samsung Drivers on pc. Boot device into download mode. Extract the downloaded firmware and use odin to flash it.
In case you don't know there are 2 S7 phones, S7(930F) and S7 Edge(935F) and their firmware files are not exactly interchangeable.
I think you might flash s7 firmware on your s7e since red screen is the same symptoms when you flash S7flat kernel on S7 Edge. The fix is easy, just reflash again with the correct file.

I was trying to root my at&t s6 edge+ using Odin. As soon as the process completed, my phone froze on Samsung screen. Then I tried wiping cache and data but nothing worked. I downloaded few stock ROM for Odin but flashing keeps on failing. I read in some thread that new Samsung devices do not support downgrading. I went and checked my current build number and found that to be G928AUCS4CPK1. However, the firmware I was trying to flash were older version.
Has anyone experienced similar issue before? The main problem here is I cannot find the exact build number anywhere. I spent a lot of time searching and finally decided to post here.
Your valuable suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
hey man, you flashed an older version of the firmware? even if it wasnt bricked, your phone is essentially useless now. the efs is gone, meaning you cant make phonecalls or connect to wifi at all. sorry; your phone is bricked. perm.
download mode dosen`t work ?if so the only thing you can try is to use samsung kies to restore your phone but don`t know if that works
I done something similar to my standard S6 Edge the only difference was i was able to start it up ok and i thought everything was ok until i realised i had no reception. I so happened to notice my imei number was gone. I had no back ups of the partition that saved this info so i totally bricked my phone.
I did however find a website that would be able to do a work around ( for a fee of course) for it however it does question your morals as its essentially illegal in alot of countries. I dont want to post anything on here so if you want any info send me a PM.
Exact same thing happened to me... went to AT&T repair center but they didn't have the 'K1' firmware..
anyhow managed to find the latest firmware (gsm-firmware.com)... cost me $4, but the phone is up and running... I only flashed the AP file.. also used Odin 3.12.5..
Hi, I have a huge problem, I locked myself out of my S7 edge and it frp'd on me after trying for days to fix the problem (I entered the wrong email and kept receiving the incorrect password message and I rest the password to wrong email and later deleted the email) I had my friend who is really good with fixing things. He got it to work and not sure how he did what he did, but he got an update tried to install it. It crashed and is telling me to use the Smart switch PC Emergency Recovery Function. But that's not the worst part.
The major problem is that it is showing that the phone is a SM-G935P. I don't know what he did or how he did it. But I am sure someone on this site can help. I have tried most of the Odin program's I seen and I have downloaded some much firmware that I am begging for help. Samsung said they will help with the frp once I get the phone back working some what can any one help. We been trying for about two months straight. I am going to upload a picture of what the screen days in download mode.

From what I can tell it seems your friend installed Sprint's newer firmware on your device which has a binary version of 6 while the other carriers' firmware are on binary version 4. Sprint did this to make it harder for their customers to switch mobile carriers by not allowing the device to downgrade the binary version (the binary/bootloader version of the firmware is indicated by the digit in the 5th from last character in the firmware version. G935PSPT6BRD2 as shown here the binary version is 6. So now you are stuck on Sprint's firmware and will need to download the latest version of their firmware link: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935p/
Use the PrinceCosmy version of Odin to flash this and you should be able to get back running from there.
Also by your Download Mode screen's information it also indicated that your FRP Lock is not activated so once you flash the updated Sprint firmware you should be golden.

Double check your firmware version you are flashing and that it is the latest Sprint firmware listed in Sammobile (G935PSPT6BRD2)

IMPORTANT REMINDER TO OTHER USERS SINCE THIS IS POSTED IN THE VERIZON FORUM: This is only a solution if you are experiencing the same issue with your phone model SM-G935P (Sprint)..Do not attempt to flash this particular firmware if you are not already stuck with the updated binary version Sprint pushed to their customers as of November 2017 because you will not be able to flash any other of the carriers' roms as it seems the others are not going to update their binary version. When this firmware is flashed to your phone you will (at least for the foreseeable future) be stuck with Sprint's version of the S7 Edge which includes their bloat etc...although you will still be able to unlock the phone for use on other carriers, it will prove to be very difficult to use your carrier's full extent of features as most of those features will not be available in this rom/firmware. Again if your device shows as any other model (G935A, G935V, G935T) then do the research to find the firmware for your model because you will have many more options staying away from this firmware, I've been reading many many posts where users have carelessly flashed Sprint's updated firmware and are unable to go back because of this.
I accidently flashed my phone with the wrong version of firmware when i was trying to root the phone and now it wont boot and says it is a different phone. Any suggestion on where i can get firmware to at least get my phone to boot again. Model number is SM-G935V. I tried sammobile but it failed when running odin on my pc unless i didnt do it correctly. Any suggestions to get my phone back tonworking conditions. I have a macbook as a computer right now but could have access to a pc on tuesday.
Thank you
I guess the question would be what exactly was the firmware that you flashed? What is the firmware number. Just want to make sure you didnt flash something that cant be undone.
