hi there i am wanting to return my verizon s7 edge back to stock so my root will be gone.
i used the method in this post to unroot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
everytime odin will fail, ive made sure the correct drivers were installed and the correct files.
any help or knowledge would be appreciated
Use odin to reflash PH1 but make sure you flash csc_home so you don't lose your data.

Hi everyone.
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 G900V rooted on OA8. I believe my bootloader isn't locked since I was able to do this.
When I try to flash TWRP via Odin it fails. When I try via an app, it crashes and I have to recover by flashing stock partitions.
When using Odin, I get am error on my phone screen similar to secure check fail and magicode fail.
I haven't tried CWM installer because I want TWRP.
The apps I've tried to flash with are Flashify and TWRP Manager. I haven't tried Rashr yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need more I go I'll get it and update.Thanks!
You believe wrong, it is locked.

Well that answers that. Thanks lol.
Well I finally made the switch from Apple to android. I could no longer take the incompatibility with different toys at home. I used to work at RadioShack and I have rooted quite a few phones. I recently purchased a s5 international version, I need to root the phone for mirror play with my appradio. I have spent a few hours reading and trying, I took it to a droid friend of mine and he attempted with no joy. What info do you guys need from me to make thei happen. It says 5.0 (guessing lollipop)....... I tried rooting with Odin.
Thanks for any help guys
Flash TWRP then try flashing SuperSU.zip

Agree with previous poster, but you need to flash *specifically* twrp 2.8.7.0 klte......
For some reason, this version is the only one that works with some LP firmwares....
And make sure 'Reactivation Lock' is switched off before you start.

Thanks I'll try that version. I kno I've tried flashing twrp 10x. When I try to enter twrp mode it never works. It goes to the normal page. I'll do it again tonight when I get home so I can give very clear data regarding what I'm running into.
I have followed the instructions posted by others step by step and it either boots into recover mode as if twrp was never installed or freezes and goes into a boot mode flux. Wish I could just pay someone to root this phone..... I am beginning to think it can not be rooted..... Does anyone have a link for updated instructions bc the ones I'm using are from March 2015...... I am using Odin 3.09.
Did you try CF Auto Root first?
I don't see it mentioned
And try ODIN 3.10.7
He mentioned trying to root using Odin, I guess he tried CF method using the tar file.

Flashing TWRP from ODIN then SuperSU from TWRP is another way to root using ODIN
But also, some people have no clue what they are doing, and try flashing all sorts from ODIN - without CF actually mentioned, we are guessing
Even with Lollipop, you can still root your Galaxy S5 using CF Auto Root. It is flashable via Odin.
When you install custom ROMs or recovery like TWRP, make sure Reactivation Lock is disabled or else it will block any custom binary it would detect.

Download a stock firmware from sammobile.com, preferrably ANE2 KitKat build. Flash it via Odin then once the firmware works, go to Security settings then disable Reactivation Lock. You should be able to flash a custom recovery and boot to it then.

I had used Oden to go back to stock, and it booted up with no problems. But when I restarted the phone it never started back up. When I power it back up, it'll vibrate then the Galaxy logo comes up, goes away, then repeats. And it won't stop. I figured I did something wrong when using Oden, so I tried to reinstall the software again. Same problem. I thought I read somewhere that a bad battery can cause that problem so I tried a new battery. Same problem. I've searched around to see if there is anything else I can do, but can't find anything. Can someone please tell me what I can do to fix this?
A factory reset from recovery could help

I was able to boot into recovery and do the factory reset, but it did not help.

What ROM was on the phone before using Odin to flash a stock ROM? Maybe the ROM needs to be flash with a pit file in Odin?
Sorry I should have mentioned it in the first post. I had a stock rooted kitkat rom. Then I followed the method (I forgot which one) to keep root and upgrade to stock lollipop.

Was it this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-update-to-i337oc3-5-0-1-keeproot-t3075814 ?
Here's a partial quote from the thread that may be of some help:
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, and Stock Recovery.
3. No need to wipe prior to flashing! The ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset.
4. If you are not already rooted (or to unbrick) you must first flash the I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.tar (use Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+), root with Towelroot, then proceed with the above process.
5. To learn more about FlashFire's capabilities on locked bootloader devices see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...10&postcount=2
Yes that was it. I remember having to use flashfire

When I tried to go back to stock
Sent from my LG-H810 using Tapatalk
I have a Galaxy S7 SM-G935FD International Edition which, thru a long sequence of missteps, I have gotten to the point where I can only get to the Samsung Logo Screen or the ODIN download mode (ie. no boot). I flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0-herolte, apparently successfully, by converting the zipped file I found to a .tar and using ODIN 3.10.7 on a Win10PC. But I am unable using any key sequence to get into any TWRP recovery mode - only the two modes above. I tried to convert the Superman rom on this forum to a tar also, but flashing stopped after Aroma at starting NAND write. In my many missteps, what I was trying to accomplish is to debloat and root the phone, at least to gain root access using Android adb. I was able to do this on my previous S6 Edge, but Samsung's vast security barriers have defeated me.
Steps to recover from this mess greatly appreciated ...... hopefully steps I can complete using ODIN ............ thx, Gus

Flash Stock Rom via ODIN.

I was unable to find a stock rom for the international. I found a zipped UK no carrier stock rom. Since ODIN doesn't flash zipped files, I unzipped and saved to a tar file using 7-Zip on Win10. Attempts to flash the tar file using ODIN crashed ODIN on the PC. I'm not sure what's wrong, as I used the same method to flash the zipped TWRP file, and finished with a "success"
I note that I have a message saying kernel is not seandroid enforcing. Somehow I think using ODIN to flash a stock rom is being blocked by some Samsung secutity feature I cannot identify and haven't overcome. Gus
Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3335065 I don't know if you have experience with Odin process. Google it preferably look at YouTube video, if you feel shaky on Odin concepts.

1. "I flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0-herolte, apparently successfully, by converting the zipped file I found to a .tar and using ODIN 3.10.7 on a Win10PC." Reflash this FILE via ODIN coz you flashed wrong one and boot in it. Go to next step if doesn't work.
2. Flash Stock ROM via ODIN. SM-G935FD use the same firmwares that SM-G935F.
Careful with ODIN. Make sure you are running on the latest version, as I myself has problems using it for the Galaxy S7 Edge on an offer version

maybe my question will be weird lol...how can i sofbrick a s7 g930p to be exact and then i can just unbrick flashing the U firmware? thanks.
Looking into a root for this device and found this guide: http://www.androidinfotech.com/2016/08/samsung-s5-g900v-verizon-rooted-marshmallow-firmware.html?m=1
I'm currently downloading a 1.6g firmware file that is supposed to be PF4 stock pre rooted. I have never had a root on this device and I'm not sure if this is the best method. It worries me that I see no mention of this method on XDA as this site is my usual go to for all root methods I have used before.
This will not root your device
Make a backup with Samsung smart switch or whatever way you prefer to use
Make sure to Move all important data to pc via USB cable
The best way to root is this method ok3 root method on xda under s5 Verizon section here http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
You will have to downgrade to lolipop ok3 or pb1 firmwares from Sam mobile.com firmware section
This will cause a soft brick boot to recovery mode and wipe data and cache
Make sure you remember Samsung account sign in info
Then it will boot set it up then go to the root thread
