cant updgrade to 7.0 from 6.xx - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

hey guys long time lurker, recently my s7 edge crashed, after using default rom, i decided i wanted a custom rom anyway and picked one, installed it correctly everything was working fine for about 2 weeks. crashed, started constant boot loops, so i reinstalled the rom as before, and still constant boot loops.
then i found official roms and put them on instead, anything 7+ didnt work, but when i put on 6.xx it would work, but using samsungs inbuilt to upgrade it would begin to bootloop again.
any help appreciated!

Did you try flashing 7.0 rom with the same baseband version of your phone?

Tried many of the available roms. Found one that is working and I will stick with it for now. Still would like to figure out what I did wrong though, and why I can't flash stock 7.xx

Strange problems after insalling a customer ROM

The last time I've updated my SGS1 to ICS, it started after about 1 to 2 weeks, to slow down and it always ended in a bootloop. It just start to restart more and more often. I tried different ROM's, none worked. I tried to flash a Kernel after it starts to reboot - nope. Then I installed the original Samsung ROM, since it works.
Does anyone have any idea why the original ROM does and the costumer ROM does not?
Root? The kernel? Or maybe a hardware problem?
For about 2 years I use customer ROM's and have not had such problems. And you know, it is kind of hard to get back to GB... really...
Thanks for your ideas!

At a guess this is the datadata problem, usually caused when you have more than approx 150 apps installed, do a search for the various solutions

Stable Baseband Firmware
Have you tried to use Odin to flash it with stable Baseband rom like XXJVS for Gingerbread Rom, after that try to Flash the new ICS ROM like The Nyx Rom, cuz it's stable and I'm using their Rom since they start the Beta.

Now iam on XXDJV1 - it should be the latest version of the original Samsung ROM's. I did flash it with Odin, after that i deletet everything on the phone, flashed a CWM, cleared caches, flash with the zip files (Clean AOKP was the latest).... but do you think it could be different when i start it from the edge? Is there something i can do in a different way?
I really was thinking about Hardware defects, viruses or problems with the root/kernel...

[Q] i9505 on UK Networks

Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone is working on AOSP mainly CyanogenMod for Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9505) on UK networks such as EE and Vodafone etc.
I am currently running Omega 3.1 but would rather switch to pure android and current nightlies presented here for CyanogenMod 10.1 fail to install on my Phone. I have tried both TWRP and CWM.
Possibly I am doing something wrong while installing it :silly: or maybe it is not compatible.
please advice if anyone has got success installing CM 10.1...or if there is any different ROM which one can try.
many thanks

Its a problem with the recoveries, its being looked at and will be fixed. Keep trying to install CM, sometimes it needs a few attempts to work. When you see Error 7, reboot back in to recovery and install again, it will work if you keep at it.

I had the Status 7 error too. Rebooting didn't help me. What helped for me was deleting the rom from my SD card. And recopying it back onto the SD card. Then it started working straigt away. Seems to have something to do with the formatting.
Thanks guys for all your valuable replies :good:, my hands are getting itchy now to get it started .. but am stuck at work ..will have to get it done tonight sometime

Flashing New Rom (Solved)

Hey guys, I am having trouble flashing a new rom onto my phone. I used to flash my Galaxy S3 almost every day, and for some reason, I am having trouble with the S4. I have rooted it, and installed Team Win Recovery Project v2.5.0.2 and sometimes the Rom will flash and work, like PA worked first time, so did MIUI Rom, but trying Most of the others they either say failed, or... they go through the whole installation process through the Recovery for Android Revolution HD, and then it boot loops, take battery out, put back in and wipe everything and it just stays on the first Samsung Logo and that's it.
Is there something I am missing?
I am wiping eveyrthing as well before I do it.
Any help will be really appretiated
Thanks

My bad lol, in work and was typing fast.
Basically, when I flashed ParanoidAndroid on my phone, and it worked great, then I changed it to MIUI which worked great,
then I decided to Flash Omega Rom, which was fine, but the WIFI doesn't work for me.
So I tried to Flash Android Revolution and it goes through the Installation Process with no problems and goes into Boot Loop, even though I have done a full wipe of the device.
I am in the middle of Flashing Android Revolution now, for the 3rd time, and it has been on 10% installation for 10 minutes. This is all it says at the moment...

Sorted, thanks anyway.
Just incase someone else is in the same situation,
All I did was take the battery out for 30 minutes or around that time, and just flash the rom, I didn't wipe or anything else, just flashed and done.
For people having Wifi issues, flash a different Kernel like Adam Kernel, that seems to work for me.

[Q] Galaxy S4 i337m - NO AUDIO WHATSOEVER

Total Noob here. I have a GS4 (Canadian Rogers Model i337m). When flashing CM 10.2 I wiped dalvik cache, system, data, internal storage, and cache (to get all the samsung stuff off my device) and formatted data. After flashing, everything worked perfectly EXCEPT there is no audio from anywhere. No systems sounds, no notification sounds, no music (headphones don't even work), absolutely nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've been racking my brain all day trying to figure something out. Thanks.
Stock firmware?
sent from my mobile device
Ive got the same issue, I was running OMNI rom until i got fed up of the phone powering off on its own. I decided to flash back to stock rom with odin then flash CM11 nightly. Thats about when I lost sound. Not only do I not have sound, the phone freezes up every time I use an app ( even dialer ) which requires sound. I've since tried flashing back to stock again in Odin, even trying different stock firmwares. I've still got the issue and the phone is basically useless as a phone without sound... Please help. Is this a modem issue? If so, how to I flash a new modem that will work, and doesn't flashing stock replace the modem anyway? Could this be a bootloader issue? I've been flashing roms and playing around with android for a while but I'd still consider myself a noob.
Same
I got the same thing here, No music plays at all, My phone completely froze when someone tried to call me. also complete noob at this stuff.
I did find a couple ROM's that were i337m 4.3. But none did anything, but did the same thing. All had no audio at all. I also get screen flashing a lot (That could just be my water damage)
Wouldn't mind finding an answer for this either!

I have yet to find a ROM that will let me Flash via Odin (Correction I did find one, but the same problems came up, no WIFI and no Audio), so the one I currently have is Goldeneye, which was flashed via CWM
Flash i337m 4.3 official firmware
You might wanna try flashing a new kernel. That usually fixes Wifi issues at least.

[Q] Wi-Fi refusing to turn on... Help!

I currrently have a Galaxy s5 sm-g900v. Two days ago, I flashed Alliance rom via Safestrap and everything was great until my wifi starting acting dumb. It refuses to turn on, just hangs. I have tried flashing the modem, and Blaze kernel, hoping it would fix it, but no luck. I unrooted and Odin'd back to complete stock, and it STILL won't work. Somebody please give me some pointers on how I can fix it Help would be GREATLY appreciated.

i would do a clean wipe and flash stock rooted rom.
i had something similar but not as extreme as yours.
i was on ricks rom and it didnt autoconnect and id have to put in the password everytime i connected.
i clean wiped and installed stock rooted 4.4.4 and all is fine.
keep trying different roms if until you find one that works.

Youve posted this in two threads and althought it might work it has nothing to do with ricks rom as many others including myself have been using ricks rom flawlessly.. Id say wipe and flash the rom over again fresh and see if that works.. But saying try another rom isnt a good solution when ricks rom works just fine 99% of the time

Just giving help to those that need it based on my experiences. It just so happens that ive been on ricks rom and i had that issue. Nothing against rick and his rom but thats the situation and thats how i fixed my issues.
I believe when you are using safestrap you are supposed to flash the kernel modules to get Wi-Fi to work. Or am I mistaken about that?
Thanks guys, but I got it working by factory resetting from stock recovery.
