Custom Unlocked symbol after Stock Firmware - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

So I was rooted and Odin'd the Stock QC1 firmware and now when I reboot my phone it still shows the Custom Galaxy S7 Edge screen with the unlocked padlock. Why does it still show Custom and how do I get rid of it?

Go into Developer Settings & turn off OEM Unlock.

It goes away. Usually first real reset of device. If still visible then wipe cache partition. If still then wipe cache partition and flash stock. Happens to me everytime i flash stock no biggy.

Error installing 4.4.4

I have a SM-N900V that is about 13 months old. I used Towelroot to root it when I could not edit files on my SD card. It also had Safestrap Recovery. I am still running the stock 4.4.2 and wanted to upgrade to 4.4.4. I used the Safestrap app to remove the Safestrap Recovery and used Super SU to remove the Root. I know that I am unrooted and when I boot into Recovery, Safestrap is gone. I still have the words Custom and the Unlocked Lock picture on my Splashscreen.
If I go to Settings/About Phone and click on Software Update, I can Download it. When I click on Install, it boots into Recovery and starts to Install but stops about 1/3 of the way with the green Android and the word "Error", then it Reboots.
How do I successfully install 4.4.4?
I have successfully Rooted and installed Custom Roms on a Droid Eris, HTC Thunderbolt, and Galaxy S3 using CWM Recovery. Because there were issues putting CWM on the Note 3, I just Rooted it and did not add any Custom Roms.
Do a factory restore and then try....or, flash the stock NC4 ROM via Odin and then upgrade

I tried the Factory Wipe and Erase Data, then Reboot and Upgrade to 4.4.4. I always see Custom. on the Splash Screen, with the Unlocked Lock image and then see the Error message while Installing. Then, it reboots. I have never used Odin, but I will try it. Where do I find Odin and the NC4 Rom?

As it turned out, flashing the Stock 4.4.2 Rom, with Odin, got rid of the issue preventing me from Upgrading to 4.4.4 and also restored the Samsung Splash Screen.
One issue I ran across was the link to the Odin download also downloaded Spyware to my W7 machine. Among other things, a Launch Bar appeared near the bottom of my Desktop. I was able to go into Add/Remove programs and Uninstall all 4 programs.
I still am annoyed by the fact that I cannot edit files on my SD card. It appears that Towelroot does not work with 4.4.4 as it did with 4.4.2.

Phone Stuck On Splashscreen

My phone is a verizon gs5 SM-G900V and I tried to root it but something (I honestly have no idea) went wrong and now it is stuck on the splash screen. I have tried everything i thought of, doing a factory reset, clearing the cache partition, I tried reinstalling the stock rom using odin but of course because there was no root and the bootloader is locked, I can't reinstall. I tried applying updates using SD no dice. I am able to access the bootloader and the and the android recovery menu if that will help at all. I don't know every acronym/term because i'm still fairly new to these terms so any help will be greatly appreciated.
I'm guessing you are on lollipop because you say you can't downgrade to KitKat aka stock
so what you should do is go to Sammobile and download either lollipop official firmware bok3 or Pb1.
then install via odin in either ap or pda slot
with the phone in download mode after that wait for the Phone to boot then set it up
then use ok3 root method by Jr Kruse on xda it's a sticky in the s5 verizon forum to get root

N9005 custom ROM cannot go back to Stock

Hey all,
I hope everyone is well. I'm having some issues with my Note 3 N9005 intl variant.
I am currently running Resurrection Remix Marshmallow (6.0.1) and its pretty stable and is a good daily driver however it has some bugs that I'm not a fan of. I used Odin to re-flash the stock ROM I got from sammobile back on to my Note 3 (N9005XXUGBOK6_N9005BTUGBOJ1_BTU) however every time I flash it, I am stuck on a boot loop. This is also the case if I try to flash another custom ROM using TWRP, so I am not sure what is wrong.
[Edit] I tried to flash the purify kernel for this ROM however this also results in a bootloop. Currently I am on the kernel that came with this rom which is the temasek kernel
[Edit2] I've managed to get to the samsung logo but its been 10+ minutes and I am still on the pulsing samsung logo. I've done a battery pull and I've also done the cache partition delete and factory reset from the recovery menu, however I am still stuck on the pulsing samsung logo.
Thanks guys
Does Odin successfully flash the stock firmware? You confirmed the model # in download mode?

Odin says that the stock firmware has been successfully flashed. As for the download mode it says the following:
Product name: SM-N9005
After flashing a stock ROM, are you booting the phone into recovery and performing a factory reset before flashing the newly-installed stock ROM for the first time?

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean I flash the stock and then boot into recovery and factory reset before the first boot? Or I should flash the stock and then factory reset and then reflash the stock ROM?

An error has occured while updating the device software

Hi.
I am currently stuck at a blue screen that says "an error has occured while updating the device software." I rooted which went fine, but when I went to add TWRP I was unable to access recovery. Each time I would try to access recovery it would say something like "system software not authorized by ATT has been found on your phone." So I decided to revert back to stock using Odin and the firmware from Sammobile, that however failed and now I'm stuck on the "an error has occured while updating the device software."
- I can get into download mode
- I can NOT get into recovery and havent been able to since I rooted
- I had just upgraded to 7.0 ota right before I rooted
- I've tried flashing with Kies however it just keeps asking me to enter a model number
- I've tried flashing with Smart Switch but after I enter the model number and serial number the app closes and nothing happens
- Odin fails everytime, have also tried patched Odin which I used to root and fails as well
Edit: Could it be that I need to flash 7.0 firmware instead of 6.0.1? I read something about the bootloader not allowing downgrades?
Please help?

Why would you try installing TWRP on a AT&T S7 Edge which the bootloader is locked, that's one reason you can't go to recovery, basically you bricked your AT&T S7 Edge, try to odin Stock AT&T S7 Edge Nougat see if that gives you recovery back, and do not try installing TWRP again, if your able to Odin back to stock, good luck!

I'll try that. And why? My own incompetence I suppose....however I couldn't access stock recovery after I rooted either, before I tried to install TWRP, so I'm not sure how that factors in?

HELP S7 Edge G935a!!

My Samsung galaxy S7 edge is stuck! i rooted it & tried to flash firmware with one of the apps and now everytime i try to boot it up it gets stuck on the at&t logo and I've got no idea how to fix!!!!! Holding power+volume up+home only loads a screen that says power off device and take it too the nearest at&t store near me. any advice or information that could solve this would be greatly appreciated.
I haven't heard of flashing a firmware with an app in a LONG time, so I'm not too sure what you did there. I can only assume you were on Nougat(?). I would go HERE, and if you can get into Download Mode (Power+Volume Down+Home), Odin back to that stock firmware
Did you use flashfire to flash the zip file? I'm guessing you were trying to flash the hybrid Rom? If so you'll have to odin back to stock.

Yes I used FlashFire but it was to flash & I have tried to use odin but the firmware for the at&t version i cant find! and the ones i did find for stock did not work
I got an update that was for bug fixes from the check update tab and my phone gets stuck at the ATT logo.
