S7 Edge back to Stock Firmware. How? Please answer! - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello! I have an S7 Edge with Exynos Processor. And i have TWRP 3.0.2-4 Installed on it
And a custom rom called: "LineageOS 14.1"
Its pretty cool, but the camera is bad.
I want to go back and Kies3 and SmartSwitch just gave me errors like: "Invalid Device" or something, so it does not recognize it.
Can i just Flash it with Odin3? Or what do i have to do, to get the Stock Firmware back?
I need help fast! Would be cool! thanks!

you need to save the important files on your computer.
Then format all partitions except for the external sicard.
ths will wipe your phone completely.
reboot into download mode and flash your desired stock rom.
reload your apps that you have saved else where.

See above post ^
But if you just want a better camera then you can flash any Touchwiz based ROM and you'll have a good camera again
Lineage and other aosp roms all have a bad camera

Solution to Sim unlock OD3 with no downgrade Bootloader

Sorry for my english before to all, i recently take the OTA od3 and my network shut down, and cant downgrade to KK or JB because this bootloader block to downgrade version, but i solved this using some ideas from varios post here and on highonandroid.com, i can restore my network but data not work, if wanna data working, you should install a custom rom. Procces Here:
1.- Your stocked on OD3 Bootloader, need to install CWM Root http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS5/CWM/Qualcomm/philz_touch_6.26.2-klte.tar.md5 form odin on download mode.
2.- Download Galaxy S5 Rooted Stock ROMs from here http://galaxys5root.com/galaxy-s5-rooted-stock-roms/ and copy to your SD card.
3.- In to recovery philz and wipe data, cache, and in advance clear daevil cache, back to install zip and install the stock rom, very important install the Galaxy_S5_spr_Stock.Kernel_NK4 from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=22599 or you will be stuck on samsung logo.
4.- Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2998481&d=1415081045 important disable your antivirus or you sould be on trouble with this app, install app and unlock your network, at this step you gonna be on kk version with od3 bootloader with your phone netwok works, on my case cant get data, you could try to confugure apn but for me doenst works, if you want a data need to follow the next step or stop here on stock version.
5.- OPTIONAL, if wanna data download this rom https://mega.co.nz/#!tEoSyKwT!qVTcxydRgtSIEg6fcstIZ3QkJuFMCTkTf9sbMnB CAXM (copy space CAMXM its part of link) and put on your sd, reboot on recovery, wipe data and cache, install the rom, and this is all.
Note: Each firts time to install a rom (stock and Custom) the phone during too time to into a system dont scary its only 1 time, and dont power off it, if step 5 doesnt turn on install the kernel again.
Too thanks to this persons and pages, all the stuff and links are of this guys, i only put it together here, plz visit their post and thanking to they:

so you flashed G900P rom on G860P ?????
Hi, I tried this, but everytime I select "reboot system now" after flashing the rooted stock rom and the kernel, it says "root access is missing. root device?" with choices "No, Yes - root device, and No". Then if I select "Yes - root device" it still goes to cwm recovery after rebooting.
Here's what I did:
1. Install CWM using Odin.
2. In CWM, wipe data -> clean for new rom.
3. wipe cache.
4. wipe dalvik cache.
5. flash SM-G900P_NI3_ROOTED_ODEXED.zip.
6. flash Galaxy_S5_spr_Stock.Kernel_NK4.zip.
7. Reboot system -> Yes - root device.
Can you check if I did something wrong? I don't know what to do. Thanks.
has anybody tried to to do this,because i want to do it and i dont want to damage my phone,i have a sprint Galaxy S5 SM-G900P

Thanks to @jackeagle for these
TWRP Builds (these ARE compatible)
I used FlashFire to flash the recovery (must be rooted)
See second post for help with Odin.

Backups

Notice: THESE ARE TWRP BACKUPS!!
A factory reset will be necessary prior to the restore, or best before it.
Further help in post 2
This debloated (with SuperSU) backup is the latest I have uploaded and it's only around 622mb
A debloated without root version is also abailable.
**by debloated I have removed a bunch of stock Samsung/Google and other applications.
This old 2gb backup has SuperSU and AppOps pre-installed(forgot to remove, has all stock apps)
These other stock partitions include the stock recovery.
I am currently unable (no PC) to produce a flashable zip, if you know what you are doing you can make use of these other files.
This phone needs:
- A permissive kernel
- a deodexed version of this ROM (for xposed)
- cm12/13
- etc etc
If you found this post helpful please hit thank you and leave feedback

TWRP NOT RECOGNIZING THE BACKUP???
Stay calm, here's what you do:
zenful said:
∆∆∆make sure to put the files for the these backups in a folder on root of your SD card called TWRP/BACKUPS/<device ID>/BACKUPS/ in order for TWRP to recognize the backups on your device. If you don't know your device ID, just use TWRP and make a backup of whats currently on your device to get the folder with that device ID than place the backup in that location.

How to Flash TWRP recovery using Odin said:
Download Odin 3.12.3
Unzip the Odin 3.12.3 .zip file and run/open Odin3 v3.12.3.exe file from the extracted files on your PC.
Make sure you’ve downloaded a Odin flashable TWRP recovery .tar file compatible for your device.
(If applicable) Enable OEM unlock:
Go to Settings » About phone » and tap Build number seven times to enable Developer options.
Go back to main Settings page, scroll to bottom and select Developer options from there.
Under Developer options, look for Enable OEM unlock checkbox/toggle and enable it.
Boot your device into Download mode:
Switch off your device.
Press and hold “Home + Power + Volume down” buttons for a few seconds until you see a warning screen.
Press Volume Up on the warning screen to accept it and boot into Download mode.
Once your device is in download mode, connect it to the PC with a USB cable. The Odin window on PC should detect the device and show an “Added!!” message.
Now click on the AP tab on Odin window and select the TWRP recovery .tar file that you downloaded for your device.
└ Note: DON’T play with any other options on the screen. You’re only required to connect your device and select the TWRP recovery .tar file in the AP tab.
Click the Start button on Odin and wait for it to finish the process. Once it has finished successfully, you’ll see a pass message on the Odin screen.
Your device will automatically reboot when Odin is done flashing. You can then disconnect your device.
How to boot into TWRP recovery on a Samsung Galaxy device
Switch off your device.
Press and hold “Home + Power + Volume Up” buttons for a few seconds and as soon as you see your device’ logo on-screen, release three buttons altogether. Your device will boot into TWRP recovery.

Anybody find out about custom recoveries on the SM-978L?
Well I don't know if this helps, but my brother soft bricked his phone while trying to put a custom boot-animation on his phone. I figured out how to fix it by flashing https://download.chainfire.eu/719/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-e5lte-e5lteub-sme500m.zip using odin 3.09. After i flashed it and reset his device it booted back up like normal, and he had root. Just for ****s and giggles i decided to try to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ment/recovery-twrp-samsung-galaxy-e5-t3283089. When i tried to reboot into recovery it told me that the seandroid was enforcing. My question is if we flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nel-permissive-lollipop-stock-kernel-t3387015 will we be able to use this custom recovery. I know it is not built for this specific device, but i was wondering if they were close enough for it to work. Just to afraid to flash it and brick his device with no backup images available.

Did you ever gather up enough courage to try? It would seem like it should work. I might try it myself, but I cant afford to buy another one if it fails.

I'm the brother bndnrd was referring to.... at this time we haven't tried it but we are almost sure that this straight talk (tracphone) version is the same as the one mentioned. Just like everyone else though I just don't have $200 to test it if it were to fail.
My stupidity in not setting perms right on the boot animation is what caused the soft brick in the first place and apparently.. what ever he did.... was able to boot the phone back up bypassing perms.
If I can pay off a few bills early enough I will set aside some cash and try the build we think will work but that will be at least a month away.
If TWRP actually works after that permissive kernel is installed, we can finally get a stock nandroid backup. That would take the fear away from testing that custom cyanogen build.

I ended up making a nandroid backup of this phone and the only thing I couldn't make a backup of was the boot and recovery for it.
You can find out all the partitions you need to use dd with to start a backup by doing
ls -al /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name

If I had the resources for a computer I would have uploaded a copy of my stock image, I'll see what I can do about getting one up. Also saw this tool that I thought may be useful for getting a flashable image.
tool-mmcblk0-extractor
Anyways, until next time x.x
Just wanted to post this and see if anyone has theirs different.
Also if someone could decompile the boot.img (I have a link to mine I can send) I'll work on a passive kernel for us.

Hey no worries and yes it's just a full backup from TWRP just stupid in the sdcard and navigate to TWRP's restore section and it should auto find it. Any other files needed I'll also have, but this a bit a flashable zip or flashable via Odin, and
I imagine Odin says that after you flashed TWRP right? If so that's because that's what the TWRP was made for so it seems like Odin checked the recovery.
If it said that BEFORE you flashed it, that's very intriguing and helpful to me
thank you very much i really like this phone maybe ill be able to use it again havent went back to odin since i put twrp on the phone but when i plug into my computer it says e500h in window on my computer when in twrp on the phone used to say sm-s978l so im not sure just the way it is introduced by windows

Cannot flash Custom Rom on SM-N9005 Help please

Hello everyone,
last night I was toying with my Note 3 (SM-N9005) European Edition and I succesfully rooted the phone and installed Super SU.
Super SU was upgraded automatically via TWPR.
Tried to Flash Darkwolf Note7 rom for Note3.
Installation starts, but once it begines I get an error about wrong footer and the progress bar stops.
So I went back, used Odin again, changed from TWRP to CWM tried to flash again the same Rom got verification of zip file failed.
Downloaded RessurectionRom with 6.0.1 for note 3, same issue.
Went back again, changed from CWM to TWRP once more, same issue.
Installation fails
Ultimately had to recover the ROM that I had backed up.
Not sure what the problem is?
Can someone help me?
Thank you in advance.
Read the roms OP a guess is you are using the wrong version of TWRP .
TWRP recovery recommended, 2.8.7.0. Newer versions are not supported
Ι don't think that the issue mate.
I downloaded exactly what I should have according to their site and the tutorial I follow.
Furthermore CWM has a dedicated CWM for note 9005 which again was unable to complete the installation.
So any other thoughts?
This is most likely due to the unsupported version of twrp you are using as darkwolf ported roms uses aroma/pico installer. Use below v3 like 2.8 you should be able to launch aroma installer.
REMEMBER TO FLASH A CUSTOM KERNEL OR IT WILL NOT BOOT ONCE YOU FINISH FLASHING THE DARKWOLF ROM AS DARKWOLF ROMS DONT HAVE ANY KERNEL INCLUDED.
I recommend using SKYNET GENESIS as your custom kernel. You will know how good it is after you install it:laugh:
I highly recommend you not to use note 7 darkwolf rom as your daily driver... features are really good but in actuall fact heats up like mad and drains battery very well
If there's still problems after trying my methods out please let me know i will give a full tutorial on how to install the DARKWOLF ROM on youtube
Cheers!
<<I recommend using SKYNET GENESIS as your custom kernel. You will know how good it is after you install it >>
That by the way is a closed thread by the mods on xda .
Hi guys, thank you for your replies.
But to b honest I am a bit of a novice. I just checked some tutorial videos and I though FUN let's sprush up the NOTE 3....
So I do not know how to proceed??
Let's see if I can help you with at least installing a CM12.1 on the n9005. Once you can successfully install CM12.1, you'll have a basic working knowledge of flashing.
Download the latest tar version of TWRP for the n9005 from here: https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote3internationalqualcomm.html
Download Odin 3.07 from here: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=...5QWImOPDJboTA_V3D5S9eA&bvm=bv.133178914,d.amc
Download the latest cm12.1 for the n9005 from here and save it to either a micro SD card which you will put into the phone or the phone's internal memory: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hlte
Download the latest ARM version of gapps for the n9005 from here and save it to either a micro SD card which you will put into the phone or the phone's internal memory: http://opengapps.org/
Open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time.
Make sure CM12.1 and gapps are either on a micro SD card or the phone's internal memory. If CM12.1 and gapps are on a micro SD card, insert the card into the phone.
Put the phone into download mode, connect the phone to the computer, flash TWRP in the PDA slot. When you see the word "reset" in the status window remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, use the button combination (home, volume up, power) to boot into recovery which should now be TWRP.
Once you are in TWRP, wipe system, data, cache, install CM12.1, install gapps, and reboot.

Lineage OS (official nightly) installation problem

I was trying to flash official lineage os downloaded from official website through twrp but ended up with an error i can't figure out what to do of. i am uploading screenshot of twrp. help.
Are you coming from Cos 12.1 ?
Than you need to flash ZUI 2.5 ROM first or cm-13 ROM .
Because even if you flash nogout some problem like sim1 will stay always active and sim2 will be greyed out.

Error 7 is caused by the custom recoveries. It occurs both on CWM and TWRP. Just wipe the whole phone and via ADB boot it to recovery (Command 'adb reboot recovery' -- without quotes.) Then copy the ROM to internal storage and now flash. It will work like a charm.

Huh? How will that help? Why do need a 6.0 M ROM before you flash nougat? You can't dirty flash Lineage. It'll end in a boot loop. You have to wipe and flash. So how will the ROM that was installed before influence nougat flash?

OTA update on unlocked and rooted device

I have a well working Note 7 with unlocked and rooted 10.3.5.0 Global PFGEUXM (TWRP recovery and magisk).
Today I got the OTA notification to update ROM to 10.3.6.0.
What I will lose if I update?
What's the best way to proceed?
Thank you
Nothing will be lost from a regular OTA Just check around for any bugs or problems that other people are having if any? And update if you like.

You have to download the full rom then go to twrp and wipe cache and dalvik flash the rom and magisk without reboot to system. After the flash of magisk you can reboot to the system. If you don't flash magisk before rebooting MIUI overwrite the twrp with the stock recovery and you have to reinstall twrp with fastboot

If you get a compatibility error when flashing the rom just delete from the rom zip the file compatibility.zip

Thank you very much darhma.
Should I reflash Disable_Dm-Verity before magisk?

You're welcome. I don't think it's needed the disable_dm-verity (but also i don't think that's a bad thing if you reflash it). If you want to thanks somebody in xda forum just press the thanks button (the ok button).
Hi!
I am new here so please don't be angry for my next questions
I just want root my Redmi Note 7 and keep OTP updates.
I read so many threads and this is my conclusion:
First I must apply for unlocking bootloader. Then flash TWRP recovery from here. After this flash Magisk through TWRP and that is it!
When phone notifies me that there is a new software update, I must download recovery rom from here, put it in internal memory, flash it and flash immediately Magisk again (flashing Magisk is mandatory after every software update to keep root).
Can anybody confirm that this is right way?
Thank You in advance.

Can I do that in TWRP or I must unpack rom on computer and pack it as zip again?

I think that you can do that from twrp but i'm not 100% sure. From computer you don't need to unpack and repack, just open the zip with 7zip or unrar (i'm on linux and don't know which program you use for zip files) and delete the file

I'm getting Error: 7 and am unable to update through TWRP on Redmi Note 7. Anyone else facing this?

Are you sure you downloaded the right rom? Error 7 is a mismatch of the firmware
Just come to say that everything went fine.
I didn't need to wait for unlock bootloader. I bought phone 2 weeks ago and using it normally and when I start unlock procedure it unlock without waiting time (I saw that someone must wait 720 hours!!).
I flash twrp and magisk (I had fingerprint lock so after flashing I did data erase) and now I have rooted phone
So, I have a my Redmi Note 7 keeps telling me that there is a new update which is V10.3.10.0.PFGMIXM
I didn't want to install it since I was happy with my phone. But now the notification is not going away and it is always there. So I tried to install it from OTA but since my phone is unlocked and has TWRP on it, the update can't be installed.
My questions are:
- Should I download the rom and flash it through TWRP?
- How should I flash it without being have to make a factory reset? Is it posible not to loose any data? And if so, is it bad to flash it just like that?
- There is a kernel which is called EVIRA that I want to flash, too. So the order should be:
Rom + Kernel + Minsk, is that correct?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: There are 2 versions of the new rom:
Recovery Rom and Fastboor Rom.

What is the difference? Which one should I download?

1) download the full recovery rom
2) reboot to twrp
3) wipe dalvik art/cache and cache
4) flash the rom, the kernel and magisk in this order. Don't reboot to system until you have flashed magisk
5) reboot to system
6) enjoy
If you get a compatibility error when flashing the rom just delete the file compatibility.zip from the rom zip
Is updating ota with full recovery rom via twrp erase internal data or installed app?

If you do an update there should be no data loss however it is always recommended to have a backup of your data
