Please help me get phone back! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

I was trying to flash the sm-g935u firmware on my sm-935a phone through a guide and It messed up with odin when i tried and it kept failing. I am trying to flash it back to stock and need some help. I equip the AP file and it keeps saying failed when i hit "start" any help would be appreciated please!

Some extra info would come in handy as to which stock 935A ROM are you trying to flash? What version of Odin are you using?
Personally, I'd use the BQC2 files from HERE

I tried every version of Odin BUT latest version and that solves my problem.
Thanks though

make sure oem unlock is turned on and usb debugging. that tends to solve alot of issues, i ran into that my self a few times.

[Q] Issues flashing radio

Hi guys,
I currently have a baseband of I9505DVUAMD8 (i9505 phone) I am trying to flash GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1.tar from Omega ROM thread.
When I do this in Odin it will pass with no errors but every time I come back into the ROM it will still have the same baseband. I have tried flashing the same radio from the following thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025&highlight=baseband) and had the same issue.
The only thing I can think of is that I currently have an issue with my volume rocker where vol up is bent in. I am getting into download mode fine but didn't know if this would impact the flash of the radio in Odin.
Any help greatly appreciated.

No dice unfortunately
I was thinking if I did a stock ROM with the higher modem version in the actual firmware would that maybe give it a kick in the right direction?
I was thinking of one of these ROM's (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824) that lists a higher radio baseband

U may try that.
U may find lots of answers there.
Anyways,have u untick "Autoreboot" in Odin during flashing it?
If it fails, u may have to follow what lambstone says here:
Use Odin v3.04
1.Untick Autoreboot
2.Flash modem
3.Reboot once again into Download Mode using (Vol Down plus Home button combi)
4.Flash Modem once more
5.Once done,unplug then reboot device manually.
6.If this doesn't work, try repeating the flash process again while rebooting manually and with auto-reboot option turned off.

Finally got around to fixing my volume rocker and I got this working with your suggested method of flashing remove battery and then flashing again.
Thanks so much for your help mate!

can't boot phone

Hi, I started a thread needing help with my wifi but it has developed into not even being able to boot at all; it stops at the galaxy logo and either freezes or keeps booting. I have gone to the Odin page with all the different things to do and flashed the file to get back to the original rom but that is really where the trouble began. right now the only thing I can do with my phone is get into download mode, I can't even get into recovery. I have flashed a pit file that worked the first time but I don't know if that is part of the problem or not. Can someone please give me some directions, thanks
Also the phone won't boot at all unless hooked up to a power supply, the battery alone doesn't do anything.

More info is needed. What firmware / bootloader are you on? Was it rooted? Did you have a custom recovery installed? What version of ODIN are you using?

Right now, it sounds like you might need to use enewman17's ODIN debrick file.

It is the AT&T s4. To be honest I don't know what firmware I am on, it is the one the Odin page said to use if you want to go back to stock. I never rooted it. The bootloader would be whatever the latest update was for this phone. I can't get into it to tell you anymore. I am using ODIN 10, the latest one. thanks
Well I finally got into recovery and did a factory reset, now it boots into the AT&T white splash screen before it just turns off. I am also wondering if my battery just died for some reason?

ODIN 10? Try using ODIN 3.09 and see if that helps. The latest update would be Android 4.4.4 NJ4 firmware. This link should help you, it will give you root with safe strap recovery though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/guide-odin-to-stock-updating-rooting-t2926642
I meant 3.10, I will try the older version. What file should I flash?

Check out the link I posted in my last post. It should help you get your phone fixed.
I have been there. I went to the very last option which seems to be what I need unless I am missing something.
Neither odin 3.09 or 3.10 will even flash any file now. it either says invalid md5 or fails when it attempts it.
Well, I finally got it to boot into android but it is flaky at best. It is android 4.3 instead of 4.4 where it was initially. The wifi still doesn't work and now the keyboard keeps crashing everytime I do something. The build is jss15j1337ucuemk2 which I know is older than I had before. Does this give anyone a better idea of what I need to do? If I can get a stable flash then can I flash a modem file to fix the wifi? I really need some direction, thanks
Turns out the battery was completely drained which was causing some of the boot problems, I don't now how that happened but I am charging it now.
Well after using odin 3.8* I got it to install some older firmware ending in mk2 rather than the nc1 or nf4 that I had before the trouble. After I got it to boot, I went back into download mode and flashed the modem file and now everything works execpt I had to force stop Samsung keyboard and use swype. I would like to upgrade my firmware but since for a couple of more weeks it won't have a sim card I can't upgrade OTA. For some reason Kies says that firmware upgrade and initialization isn't supported with this model which makes no sense to me. It also says my firmware is up to date
Does anyone know how to flash to the latest firmware without me going through this nightmare again? thanks

If I were in your shoes I'd flash the nb1 tar file in Odin, any vein should work. See this for the tar file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56453100. You can then ota to the latest firmware which is 4.4.4, nj4

Download a firmaware for your region from sammobile and flash it via odin 3.10. It will solve most of your problems

I agree. But google has basically all he needs. More so rapidgator
I haven't found anything from Samsung to download. If I flash a newer build, do I also need to flash a modem file and a bootloader or can I just flash the PDA? thanks for explaining this to me.
And can I do a dirty flash so I don't have to lose everything again?
well, now I see that there is no sound. so I guess I will have to flash again.

There's. Something I'm yet to understand. Did you finally manage to boot into recovery? If so, flash a custom recovery (I recommend philz touch recovery) then use it to make complete wipe.
Then boot into download mode and flash latest pda firmware in the compressed file you downloaded. Ps: make sure it's from your region.
May be if you provided me with your region I'd get you all the files required

My lollipop woes

Was trying to use flashfire to retain root and upgrade to lollipop from 4.2.2 MF3 kernel (locked bootloader). After that it wouldn't get past the boot logo. I thought no biggie, but now that I have tried using ODIN probably 20 different times with it always failing at system.img I am losing hope.
I've tried numerous usb cables and ports and am running on a windows 8.1 PC. I have a complete set of MF3 tar files that I have been using and a pit file to restore the bootloader(?) after PDA fails. It seems there is always some sort of solution and am hoping that someone more experienced than me can give me some guidance? Please help, I just need this thing functioning again.
Have you tried flashing nb1? If not, I'd try that, and then upgrade to nj4 if you don't want to go to lollipop. Downloads and instructions here if you need it.
You can always try a different computer seems to have worked for me on one then more occasion also try using a box to do the flash for you if you know of someone that has a z3x box or octopus box they can probably help you out. or try using a different version of odin and if all else fails try using KIES (SMART SWITCH) which i do hate to recomend but seems to help people in these situations. about root what S4 do you have an I337 or the I337m and you can always flash TWRP and install GOLDENEYE (only if your the I337m variant. Hope this post helps you ill keep in eye on the post to see if i can further help you.

FAILED flashing a custom ROM.

I tried to root my device (Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005) and it went quite well.
Then I tried to flash a custom rom (Darkwolf S7 edge port) on my phone but I ended up in a bootloop where it was stuck on the samsung logo for hours.
I tried different stuff to get out of it but nothing worked so I decided to flash the stock rom onto my phone and at the odin status I get "FAIL". And on my device it shows "Volume Size is too big 4620289 < 4718599. And my phone is unusable. I need some help asap to fix it.
Please Help!!!
What is the phone model?
You used a stock ROM from sammobile.com in Odin?

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005.
Yes,I used a stock ROM from sammobile.com in Odin.
But I get "FAIL!" over and over again...with the message,"Volume size is too big......",on my phone.
Have you tried using different version of Odin, different USB cables, and USB ports? You may need to flash the stock ROM with a pit file.

I've tried everything except for using a pit file. I don't really know much about using a pit file so I'm a bit apprehensive.
Could you help?
I have the exact same problem, but without the volume thing, I need help!

Hey there Flash!! xD
Its a pain..isn't it?
Anyway I figured out how to fix the phone finally...
You'll need to flash the custom ROM with the PIT,CP,AP, and CSC files.
Here's the link...http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...ader-csc-pit-files&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82
>Download the file suitable for your phone and specific model...Extract those files.. BE VERY CAREFUL TO CHOSE YOUR SPECIFIC MODEL!!!
>Launch Odin...
>Put you phone in Download mode and connect it...
>Load the PIT,CP,AP and CSC files in their respective slots..
*DON'T FORGET TO CHECK THE "RE-PARTITION" OPTION*
>And then hit the "start" button and pray...IT WORKS!!!
However this will erase EVERYTHING on your phone...all the user data...if you have some photos/videos/songs/EVERYTHING...your sd card should be safe though.
I hope this works for you...it worked for me..
Let me know if it does!! Have a nice day!!

jOdin or other flashing options?

jOdin3
hey all,
this is the first non-nexus phone i've used, and I am excited about flashing the U firmware to get a clean stock experience on my g930v. I was wondering what files i should input in jOdin under the PDA/Bootloader/CSC/Phone fields after I extract the zip file SM-G930U? I have searched tried to watch some insufferable youtube videos on the matter have had no luck finding an answer. Also since I'm asking, is it possible to flash this firmware with jOdin3, sorry for the newbie questions, didn't know where else to go.
Thanks in advance to any helpful replies.
Solved the above, no need for replies.
Next though is when I try and flash using Jodin3 the pit file is acquired, the phone reboots and then it stays disconnected and I am unable to start the process after the phone reboots. Any suggestions?
Solved the above by using heimdall to extract pit.
I am close to giving up and flashing anything via jOdin3 I have tried pretty much everything to flash new firmware with no success, latest error is that there is a corrupt file, need to use Odin file...
HAS ANYONE had success flashing a Verizon S7 on macOS? if so please tell me where to look otherwise going to sell this for an 930F version.
