Wrong section, this should be in Q&A.
Anyway, the problem is that the phone seems to have been rooted or another firmware seems to have been flashed to it. You can download the latest firmware from Samfirmware.com and then flash it through Odin (Many guides available online and on YouTube). That'll help your phone get to the latest updated firmware.

Any country is fine. Every firmware works for every country unless you purchase your phone through a carrier

How do you use SamFirm for SM-G935FD?

Hello. I'm kinda stuck here and I would appreciate if you all could help me. I've been trying to retrieve the same firmware I have for my Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935FD) but I am unable to. Here is an album of pictures filled with errors I got and my device information.
The Phone Info application says that my device is SM-G935F while Android says it's SM-G935FD so I'm not really sure which one I should use. I've tried both SM-G935F and SM-G935FD and the results were similar. For Auto (SM-G935F), I got this error message:
'', hexadecimal value 0x1F, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1.
while for Manual (SM-G935F), I got the same error message as SM-G935FD Manual mode.
Again thanks for the help. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Csc field wrong info

Samsung doesn't upload full firmware for G935FD on their server so you can't download them using this tool.
You can find apd1 firmware for FD on samsungviet. It's for THL but it's same multi-csc for SIN

Oh damn. Didn't know that. If it's alright with you, could you link me up a place where I can download it? Thanks
Edit: Nevermind. I found out that I haven't updated my firmware. There's actually a newer firmware.

Thanks for pointing that out. It works now. However the "Version" info is different than the PDA, CSC and Phone info I've put in. It's G935FXXU1APDQ/G935FOLB1APD1/G935FXXU1APD1/G935FXXU1APDQ. Not a 100% sure but I think that's a different firmware.

It's much better to just wait. At least then you know it's a legit firmware and you won't be bricking your device :good:

If you can acces download mode, you have no problem. Download from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com an original firmware and flash with odin.

Maybe your partition is broken. Search for am offiial firmware here at xda with PIT file and flash that. Be aware you will lose all your data

What's your carrier?

Okay very simple... you need to flash the stock room for your phone. It has to be the exact model for your phone. You can acess this file from sam mobile. Once downloaded use odin to flash it on to your phone with a computer.

dont panic buddy
first of all :
power off your phone
at the same time push these buttons : power + volume down + home
when blue screen comes out push the volume up button
then it is DOWNLOAD MODE or ODIN MODE right now
so u may be able to use odin v3.10+ to flash the stock rom on your phone without any problem

How did you end up flashing a Moto G4 ROM through Odin?
Odin only accepts tar files, and Moto ROMs usually come zipped and need to be extracted and flashed through fastboot or through TWRP if they're custom ROMs.

That's the real question
Search the right Rom for your country here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935F/
1) Create a account and download the rom
2) Extract the downloaded rom with WinRAR
3) Download Odin and insert the 4 files in the right spot inside Odin
4) Boot phone into download mode, connect it to the pc and click flash

I'm still confused, how could someone actually do that? And then follow up by flashing another incorrect ROM for the flat S7 instead of the S7 edge. And then go on to say that he can't find ANY firmwares for the S7 edge? Really?
Something really shady about this thread.

Says he's on the S7 Edge, but his sig says sent from a flat S930F S7.
If he's 12 (391 posts too), then I'm Donald Trump.

Why would you flash a Moto G ROM on your S7E? Surely it doesn't take too much realisation to know that it wasn't going to end well? Just flash the .pit file if you can still access download mode. If you can't, then a service centre will be the only way.

Very easy to fix. You'll need to flash the stock rom for that phone using odin. Get the stock rom from from samobile and there are many tutorials online

The problem is the kid kept flashing random rom. Please make sure the correct rom. Maybe uploading the box's picture would help.

Seems like it.
1. There's no way to flash non Samsung firmware through odin.
2. No s7 edge firmwares? Really? Updato and sammobile, have all of them.

WIFI Disabled after trying to root

Hi guys, im from Argentina, i tried to root my S7 edge SM-G935F made in vietnam using CF-Auto-Root with Odin following a tutorial in youtube (big mistake), when i finished, the Wifi icon turned grey like it was disabled. I cant turn it on (obviously cant find any Wifi networks because its off).
I tried doing a hard reset but the problem continues. The phone was working perfect. I downloaded root checker after trying to root but says "Root access is not properly installed on this device" , so totally fail :good:
What should i do? What ROM can i flash? and how? Here is my actual software:
Android version: 7.0
Baseband version: G935FXXU1DQB1
Kernel version: 3.18.14-10422490
Build number: NRD90M.G935FXXU1DQB7
Thanks

First things first, flash official firmware via odin, then try rooting again and choose Any touchwiz rom from xda (cause aosp is not really stable as there's no source code released)
How to flash firmware via odin
Do some research on google (at least it's how you become pro [emoji6] )

yes, but try to flash the one for your country as the csc has the codes need to have your phone working optimally with your provider.
Other countries will work but not 100 %

Stock Firmware Link For SM-G935FD

Hey Guys, sorry to be opening another new thread for this, but trust me, i searched all over XDA and other places, but could not find a single link from where i can download the stock firmware for my S7E india version. Of course i can download it from the sammobile which is horrifically slow. I still managed to download it over night last nigh, but after flashing my phone still boots up with the S8+ logo which is weird. It could be because the flashing might have not happened properly. So, if someone could please give a gdrive link or some other fast link to download the stock firmware, it would be of a great help!!! Thanks in advance.

Facing the same problem...
Any help appreciated...

If it's just the S8 BOOT logo that's hindering you, just flash the latest bootloader..

download at fw.updato.com

Download samfirm latest version simply, and enter model g935fd and region ind, it will download latest stock firmware, then simply flash with odin. Or the other way ; use smartswitch emergency recovery.

You need to unzip it first my dear. Use winrar or 7zip and then open it, you will see model and region boxes on upper left side.
