Do u have CUSTOM Recovery installed? Ur phone is unbranded? Are u downloading the correct firmware for ur phone? Are u flashing it good with Odin? Ur S4 is a i9500 or i9505/6/7/8? Give us + info pls
yes just give us a few details.
did you also a full wipe done before you flashed the rom ?
this is very important because otherwise you do not have a clean system and so it is normal that the phone will not boot and you stay stuck in bootloop
AFAIK (never tested) Google Edition uses different bootloader, so you shall flash complete set, including that part as well...
All is working i don't wipe data and cache with cwm , when i wipe all he turned on thanks for help
Hey guys. I am using SM-G935FD indian version (INS). Yesterday i downloaded latest firmware (that samsung cloud) from sammobile.com. I tried updating the firmware with flashfire. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-easy-to-update-rooted-phone-t3342896) I pressed flash firmware package and kept "recovery" (because i wanted to keep twrp) unticked. But after that phone goes into bootloop. Only recovery was accessible. Phone was not booting up.
But thank god all my data was saved.
Then i odin flash the firmware with only AP ticked and damn my root was lost. My data was still reserved. Only was root was lost.
1. so is there any way to retain root while updating firmware with flashfire or odin
And
2.is it necessary to wipe internal data while rooting the device (as flashing twrp with odin and then booting into twrp for first time requires formatting internal storage). I know it is necessary otherwise phobe wont boots up but I DONT WANT TO LOOSE MY DATA. SO JUST PLZ TELL ME THE WAY TO ROOT AGAIN WITHOUT WIPING DATA.
Sorry if this question has been asked before. And i know we should not post any repeated question. But trust me i read all threads before posting here.but i cant find any solution for it.
Thanking you for your kind cooperation and support.
Device:
S7 edge SM-G935FD INDIAN
Plz help guys

how do i install twrp? remember it freezes at the att splash screen I have been without my phone for over 12 hours now I need immediate help
hope u have an unlocked bootloader.. if u do just download twrp the zip one not the image.. for s5 and flash it using Odin.
or go to recovery mode do a full wipe and f.reset then put your phone in download and flash a new stock rom..
If its AT&T and MM has been flashed then it will have a locked bootloader and rooting via cf or twrp will not work.
The only thing that will successfully flash now is AT&T branded MM. You can't even roll back to lollipop or kitkat.
Sorry if I'm posting in wrong section actually I'm a newbie
Hi all, I've updated my Note 3 SM-N900 to Cm 14 nougat 7.1.1 unofficial lonage os by ha_3g. Now i want to go back to my stock Twiz 5.0 lollipop, is it possible I've all my rom backedup by TWRP. Can i restore my backup without any problem?
Thanks in advance
nah,usually i just flash my firmware using odin without backup
Usually if you want to revert back to stock firmware, everything will be removed, including your custom recover(TWRP in this case), miscellaneous files and folders that were previously on your custom ROM. So, in summary, you won't be able to recover your backed up apps/data as TWRP will get wiped out as well, being replaced by the stock Samsung recovery.
Yep, wipe system, data, cache & dalvik then restore your backup.
Before updating I've backed up my stock Twiz rom via TWRP, now i just want to revert back to my Stock rom which was lollipop 5.0. I'm afraid bcz I've seen some where that we cannot install 5.0 (lower version) over 7.1 (greater) version it will brick the phone bcz of some bootloader issues, btw I've not messed up with bootloader, so plz advise me if it will be safe or not.
Lot of Thanks for the members of the forum who replied in no time & who r ready to help. Salute to all of u. you people r great
Only a stock firmware flashed with Odin can upgrade your bootloader.
And the latest official firmware for Note 3 is Lollipop 5.0.
So your bootloader still 5.0 even if you flashed a nougat rom.
Even more, custom roms don't touch bootloader or modem partitions, ever.
Go ahead
Hey bro. Just go to sammobile.com and download your rom and flash via Odin. Only Odin can downgrade your BL and Modem
Thanks alot for the clarification I'll go ahead now.
I can swap between 7.1 Nougat and 5.0 stock, with no issues, through my nandroids.
If you had a nandroid before, you shouldn't have any issue just using the TWRP function to restore your backup. It will be exactly as you had it before.
The only difference will be that you will still have TWRP installed, etc.
Anyways, you can swap back and forth as much as you like. You don't have to wipe anything, or use Odin, since you made a nandroid already.
Yes you can go back to lollipop . I have done that in my sm 900 exynos version. marshmallow and nougat drains battery
Hello guys! I very need 3 files android 6.0 stock rom which i can may flash in odin. Acutally i have android 7.1 and i would like to back on stock 6.0. Can someone help me?
If you have any marshmallow in twrp all you need to do is restore it after wiping dalvike system data and cache no need to flash with odin marshmallow will boot ok even with nougat bootloader and nougat baseband.
