I had an s7 flat and i rooted and installed a custom rom then one day it suddenly started to restart and went into bootloop i tried reinstalling the rom and it wouldnt install then i tried installing stock rom and got it installed and it wouldnt boot still then i got it checked and the person replaced its emmc chip and told me not to flash roms
I wanted to root my s7 edge i wanted to ask whether it would lead to the same consequences?
Should such a problem occur in the s7 cuz ive rooted and flashed alot on the s4 and no problems occured.
I heard it happened on the note 1 but can it occur on the s7?
emmc is flash storage
This can happen whenever if you are unlucky enough and not because you flash roms.. (happens on untouched phones too)
the only thing flashing custom roms or rooting will do is void your warranty (and trip knox)
so yes rooting is safe if you know what you are doing

Dear tweakers of XDA,
I've got a problem with my note 3. After i'd seen the thread for the Note 4 styled S5 Based ROM. I decided i wanted to give Rooting and flashing custom roms a try ( Havn't done it since my S2).
All went well and dandy, i rooted with CF Autoroot knowing my knox counter would trip to 0x1. I've installed CWM Recovery, downloaded the rom and installed it through the CWM Recovery. After install i saw that my wifi didnt work and my 3G Data didnt work which was strange because the regular calling functioned ? Also i installed AEL's newest kernel (because the thread says it wasnt included i had to flash it myself )
After not being able to fix this i'd decided to download ODIN and the correct firmware for my phone, Tmobile Netherlands N9005 TNL version 4.4.2
I flashed it back using ODIN and to my surprise the phone was extremely slow. Reacting really late 5-10-15 seconds later to the sleep/wake button. The lockscreen would also hang for about 30 seconds and the IMEI is unknown. Whenever i open the Phone app it gets stuck. Network doesn't work at all ofcourse because of the IMEI. I do have a backup of my EFS and i'm not too scared of anything. I just really want my note back the way it was
Could you kind people help me ?
if you have a efs back up, so restore it with the original firmware
I used to face the same problem, but i was not as lucky as you - i had no efs back up, and i have to use sptbox - e.g. my original Imei has gone :3
btw, did you face any sensors issues?
There is a efs recovery script in note 3 Android dev thread. Gold luck!

Hi,
I've bought a Galaxy S8+, rooted it succesfully with Magisk, disabled some apps, installed a custom Kernel and so on.
Noa after tripping KNOX, I saw one thing: On "Storage", the phone says "16.00GB available". What's up with that thing, there isn't even a S8 with 16GB on the market. Have I done something wrong?
I am a bit dissapointed, because I cannot exchange it anymore now (Because of tripped KNOX)
I am on stock sammy rom (7.0).
Any help is greatly appreciated
recover it using the main restore program on the phone and see if that fixes it
Did you find a fix? Just wondering if there's anything I can do I'm in the same boat

Yeah, I solved it months ago by entering in TWRP, selecting Wipe > Repair or change file system and then resized filesystem or something like that and then it displayed 32GB normally after boot. You won't loose your data by "resizing" the filsystem, but make a backup first, because things can go wrong.
I fixed this issue so many months ago that I even switched phones in the meantime. I am a happy S7 Edge owner now (Yeah, I found it better than the S8).
Hey folks,
Has anyone of you ever experienced something like that?
Explanation: A custumor came to our store complaining about his non booting phone (bootloop).
He swears he never touched the Software e.g. rooting etc..
I've always thought that Binary Custom & Knox 0 isnt possible?
Interrupted/failed OTA can cause this. Happened to S6 I owned once. Reflash official fw with odin.
i did root my phone and it went perfect and when i was installing custom rom on my s8 it said data could not mount so i did something and it corrupted my storage and i had to go back on stock firmware again oreo and it turned back on again now i want to ask can i root again right now its been only 3 days can i root again since in oreo u dont get oem unlock unless u complete ur 7 days time and my s health and samsung pass is also not working will it work after rooting again my phone was rooted perfectly but while installing rom i messed up and i had to install stock firmware again.

If you've rooted and flashed a custom rom your Knox was most likely tripped so you can't use Samsung apps anymore. You can mod shealth and get that working but that's about it. If you flash back to nougat you have to reset your phone.
If you flash nougat via Odin you'll have to reformat your phone
If you flash Oreo you won't need to since your system is already set to Oreo.
Also you said you did something that corrupted your storage, what exactly did you do?

Why not just flash a rooted Oreo rom that already has magisk? As for Samsung apps yeah you tripped Knox so those won't work anymore permanently
Okay guys, I've got the S7 edge (SM G935F) Exynos var.
I restarted my phone yesterday, it hasn't been rooted or anything and it got stuck in a boot loop. Then I got the common 'blue light of death' with the black screen, rendering it useless.
Whilst in this state, I can't force restart the phone or enter recovery / DL mode.
The battery finally drained and I've flashed new (stock) firmware through ODIN. Still the same outcome.
I figured I could root and get a custom rom to maybe work however I have the FRP lock issue so I can't flash TWRP.
I'm open to any ideas, anythings worth a try at this point lmao, last phone I rooted was my S5 so a little out of touch with it all.
Cheers

I had the same issue for about a week now, luckily i didnt have the frp lock on, but I have tried everything possible from downgrading to upgrading to flashing a custom rom : everything seems to just fail in every way possible and youll always end up with the blue light of death as you call it. I came to the conclusion that this isnt a software related issue , it is more than a hardware issue related to the s7 edge... I ended up forgetting about it after all ... Good luck !
