Help i've bricked my s7 edge!! - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Help!!
I've bricked my s7 edge!!
I was trying to flash twrp recovery on odin and ended up stuck in a bootloop. I think I've deleted everything off my SM-G935F. I thought I'd have to resort to reflashing stock rom off sammobile but it doesn't seem to want to complete the download for some reason. It keeps stopping about 3/4 of the way through. It takes about 2 hours to get to this point and it happens every time. I've tries it a few times from sammobile and even 2 or 3 other websites. I've tried different roms O2 and btu and xeu. I'm from the UK using an unlocked unbranded version. Can anyone shed any light on this issue or tell me some other reputable website I may find a working link to a stock rom?
Thanks in advance guys.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry but I'm an amateur when it comes to this sort of thing. I'm not familiar with smart switch..
How does this work exactly? I can't download it to my phone because it's bricked. Would I download it to my laptop?
I've also been trying the fw.uptado.com website but it can't be found for some reason.
Anyone else able to help?
I apologise if this is basic stuff but I've only rooted about 4 phones in 7 years so I'm not really any kind of expert to say the least .

This is the unbranded firmware: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=145291997DB511E7963AFA163EE8F90B
Put your phone in download mode as you did when you flashed TWRP and use odin to flash the AP from the zip file in that download.

Sometimes downloading with "stock" downloader of Windows, and Android sucks if you have unstable internet connection. My suggestion is to use the Internet Download Manager for Windows, or the Android Download Manager (ADM) obviously for Android. Good thing for these aforementioned download managers, if your internet connection drops, your ongoing download will not terminate, instead it will resume where the point stopped.
PS: just tick the option of "Auto Resume" in the Settings.
Hope this helps.

Thank you everyone who has gone out of their way to help me out it's much appreciated. After lots of failed rom downloads, I finally managed to find one that finished downloading. I've flashed it and realised it was an unbranded Swedish rom but it seems to work fine.
On a side note I couldn't seem to install magisk and samsung anti root via twrp. I kept getting an error message saying "failed to mount data. Invalid argument"
Anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks again everyone.

after flashing twrp u need to perform a format from the twrp recovery. i.e wipe>format data type yes. only after that can u flash a rom or any other file. u need to perform this step only once.
oh n when u reboot the phone select the do not install option.
also it would be better if u flash a custom stock rom like superman or batman. flashing magisk on oem stock rom sometimes makes the phone sluggish. in my case the phone not only becomes slow but lucky patcher causes the phone to reboot.
good luck flashing

For the first time coming from stock firmware, /data partition is encrypted and can't be read by twrp. To fix this, twrp need to format(not wipe) /data partition to remove encryption once.
Keep in mind, that all data will be lost.

Please be more specific.
What tutorial did you use?
Did you download clockwork recovery?
Do you have the superuser zip?
If you can enable fast boot and fastboot flash recovery you should be able to mount your usb storage in CWM and then install a ROM and the su zip.

i used the one mentioned in addictive tips website (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-nexus-s-with-a-single-click-using-superboot/). i basically followed what these guys had mentioned.
since this failed i read that the other option is to go through fastboot > recovery > and clear everything but this did not change anything.
can someone give me a step by step guideline on how to continue. i dont mind going back to the stock 2.3.4 android. i just bought the phone yesterday
Which version do you have? The sprint or t mobile? Check if you can go into fast boot hold down volume up and then powerbutton. If not you may have to Odin it if not. That super one click looks old..

If your ROM flashed incorrectly, it would lead to your phone being in a state where it just shows a GOOGLE with a Padlock; kind of like turning on a computer without an operating system.
You would have to read the instructions on rooting your phone, which involves using fastboot and flash recovery from fastboot (All this is in the rooting guide). Simply reflash the recovery so you boot up back in recovery and try flash the rom again.
The same happened to me, I fixed it buy flashing a stock boot.img

thanks for the replies. how do i flash from the fastboot mode? when i plug it in to my computer i cant see the drive but my computer can detect the nexus s is plugged in
Set up adb first, they have the guides in the dev section, I used wolverines guide, you'll have to look for the software img, I don't know where it is at for the GSM model. Good luck

Sounds like you're rooted and have recovery installed, but your OS is hosed.
Flash a ROM.
thanks for the replies guys. i have the adb setup on my laptop. i took it to one of the stores and he said he cant reflash it for some reason. he said he needs to get some software off samsung and it will take him a day. my phone is brand new and i didnt wanna trust him. do u guys think i should use odin? one of my friend has a galaxy s and he said odin should work fine on my phone.
Can you get into the ClockworkMod recovery menu? Turn the phone completely off then hold VolUp and Power until you get into Recovery.
If you get there, you're golden. Just download a ROM (I recommend Deck's) and away you go.
i can get into recovery but it gives me option like wipe everything and i selected that. but when i reboot the phone the same locked screen pops up. anyone from toronto here who i can contact?

Basically with those wipe commands you make the Rom unuseable. You have to flash a new one or apply it via Odin. There are various guides on this forum section. Odin requires less technical knowledge but is a bit more risky then flashing via recovery. Odin and the Roms for that method can be obtained from samfirmware.com. Zipped roms can be found in the development section here.

{HELP!!} Theme Bricked my Wifi Only Tab

Hello, a theme ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328950 ) did brick my device, am using Task650 version 10 ROM WiFi only model 16GB, i installed the "Layers In Paris V3 theme zip file over his rom and now my device get passed the the booth animation, i wiped/reset factory setting, wiped dalvick, cache, and wiped system, it wouldnt get passed it, now i formatted system from recovery and it won't get passed the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 writing you see when you power the Tab on, i need help on what to do because i can't even access the memory to load a ROM zip to reflash it.
someone wrote to me "to set up adb which lets you push files to your tab"
So the question is this too
What is adb ? "to set up adb which lets you push files to your tab" When i went to mount SD card in recovery, the systems keep telling me that "E:unable to open ums file lunfile (No such file or directory) Couldn't open directory," Then what do i do to load new ROM and flash it again or get my tablet working ? Please i need help here
Well you've just learned rule #1 the hard way. Always do a nandroid backup from CMW.
You could restore back to stock using ODIN. All the files you need are in the How To Root thread.

Odin restore will return your device (ROM AND RECOVERY) back to stock. Just boot your tab into download mode then connect to your computer with odin running and you will see a yellow box showing your device is connected. If it doesn't detect it, you need to get the correct drivers.

Try going into download and Odin flash the stock ROM again.
If the stock ROM flashed correctly, after up to a 10 minute wait, it should boot into the stock ROM. Then you will go into download again, Odin flash either the recovery from that link or the newer recovery from the below link. You should be able to place the Rom of choice on the SD and flash through recovery.

4.3 fails during install

Hi,
On MF3.
I'm rooted. I have clock work recovery installed.
I can download the update succeffuly however when the phone reboots the install begins, gets as far as 25% then fails. Phone reboots back to 4.2.2 with a message that says the install was interrupted.
Have tried twice with the same result.
Anyone else experiencing this?

If I were you I would go back and read a little information about mf3 and what kind of recovery can be used. It sounds to me like you might be very confused. In order to correctly keep from bricking your phone you may want to read up on things. Good luck.

Since you are rooted, take a look in the /cache/recovery directory. Read the log file. It will tell you where things messed up.
For example, I had forgotten that I did something with csc and had replaced the feature.xml file. Luckily, I had a back up of the original file. I renamed it, fixed is file permissions to rw-r--r--, advanced my clock one day, and then was able to install MJ9.
Good luck, and remember you won't have root anymore when you install this (for the time being)

I had the same problem. The only way I was finally able to upgrade to 4.3 was to use Odin to revert to stock (unrooted) 4.2.2 MF3 using the files on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502003 Once I did that I ran the OTA update to 4.3 and it worked without any problems
To able to keep your root and upgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.3 you have to change your param file back to the stock. Thats all the information that I have so far so... not completely sure. But I think that is what you're supposed to do.
Because you have a custom param file, when you try to upgrade to 4.3 it's telling you there is an issue with your phone.
I may be wrong.
Is there a copy of the correct feature.xml? Im having the same issue

I had the same problem happen to me on Wednesday night and last night. Today I used Odin to go back to stock MF3, however, then I couldn't get the OTA update. It kept saying my firmware was up to date each of the three times I restored it.
Now I'm finally on MJ9 after copying "update-mf3-mj9.zip" to my SD card, going into recovery mode, and updating from external SD card. Now I can use my Galaxy Gear!

I was excited when I rooted the phone, then installed ROM manager premium. It allowed me to install the recovery. You can even boot into the recovery from ROM Manager.
However since the S4 is locked down tight, you can do any thing from there. So i can't flash anything. It even gives me a message saying as much.
However it is partially installed I can boot into it at will.
I will post a video of it. So that you all have an idea of what im talking about.

While I was preparing to record it, I did notice that you are correct. Although Rom Manager goes through the motions of flashing the recovery, when you attempt to boot into the Recovery, you are faced with an Error, and default back into Android Recovery.
Although I know all about Safestrap...I think we've all missed the point. The OP was meant to get help about why the 4.3 OTA was failing 25% into the install.
I've got what I needed by being pointed to the location of the install log.....and while reading through it, I noticed that the install is failing because I removed the Chat On APK. I will install from backup and move forward.
Thank you all who provided the necessary guidance to solve the original problem.
Thank you as well to those who helped clear up the whole Clockwork vs Android recovery part. Although a minor part of the original post, it's good that we don't spread misinformation.

Did you use all files? I mean, I've been trying the same for the past couple of days, and I even asked in that thread if I could use just the PDA file, nobody replied so I went ahead and did it, it removed the root and I kept all my files and settings (That was the idea) but just after that I can't connect anymore to Kies ( I could without issues, I did a full backup moments before) and trying to do the sideload it always gives me the Error 7, I even tried the full SD card update,it erased everything and guess what, when it rebooted for my surprise I was still at 4.2.2 MF3, so it just did the Wipe Data and then rebooted, so I lost almost 6 hours getting everything back as it was and then, I had the Damaged SD card error so I also lost all my pictures and videos withoout back up.
So, as you can see half a day later I'm still at the same point I was this morning and with a huge loss, so, please, Did you use all the files? If you did, doing this erase everything also?
Thanks in adavance.

Yes. I used all the files. The result was a completely stock unrooted 4.2.2 so, yes, it reset the phone and erased everything that I had on there. (It left my external SD card intact but I would still advise removing it if there is anything on there you don't want to lose.)

Yep, that was the reason why I just used the PDA I didn't want to lose my data, and then I did it anyways, my mistake was not doing the Odin Restore just after I realized that it erased everything and I was still at 4.2.2, that's was the perfect time to do it, but now, after I finally put everything back as it was, I simply don't see myself by my own choice, doing all this again.

In the thread, there are tons of instances where it explains where to use each file and even pictures, I know because I read every single post, but none of them explains if I could use just the PDA one if I wanted to keep my settings while unrooting the phone, that's why I asked about it, because nobody replied to my question I decided to be the guinea pig, and yes, it works, you keep your settings, and I was glad, but as you can see, what I wanted to accomplish didn't work after all. Without all the files it doesn't fix the issue that causes the error 7 when doing the sideload.

failed flashing Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.9-20151121-jfltexx.zip ROM

Hi. Today I wanted to flash my s4 I9505 device with this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-resurrection-lollipop-v5-5-5-t3195202 but at the end the problem has popped out. I had an android 5.0 lollipop don't remember which one exactly. First I've rooted my phone with odin 3.07. Then I've downloaded ROM Manager (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager) from Play and installed recovery. It looked like this: http://www.pocketpc.ch/attachments/...ry-fuer-galaxy-s4-mini-gt-i9195-wp_000062.jpg. Then I wiped cache and data. It appeared with totally clear phone. Then I installed superuser from the recovery level and then problem appeared. The phone is booting up normally but after all the starting logos it comes with black screen and multiple crashed of Multimedia, Camera, Interface and so on. Is it bricked? I don't know what to do, I have to say I am kinda newbie. Hope that someone will help.

Flash recovery through ODIN as well. Then wipe your mobile and then flash your ROM

Flash this file through recovery: xposed-v80.0-sdk23-arm64-custom-build-by-wanam-20160211.zip, wipe just cache and dalvik, reboot system and install xposedinstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk as a normal apk. Before doing anythink please put also this Uninstaller in your SD card in case something went wrong you could flash it through recovery to recover normal boot: xposed-uninstaller-20160211.zip

Did you have the xposed-uninstaller in your external or internal sd card? If so, flash it to recover your boot and exit from bootloop.

I had a nandroid backup so I restored my rom that way. No idea what I could be doing wrong, just flashed it on a stock rooted rom with TWRP 3
Edit: I read your post again, now I noticed the part 'custom build'. Woops, I flashed the one from the original thread Im gonna try the other one and will post back

For sure its a "custom build" by wanam just for Samsung devices. There are others xposed files for others that wont work anymore on Samsungs devices.

Well that worked But now im having the same problem as I was having with my sg6, certain apps stop working, here an example of the Horizon Go app (dutch live tv streamer) which gives classnotfoundexceptions: https://www.dropbox.com/s/43if3chvf3sdbga/Screenshot_20160329-072524.png?dl=0
Yea so here's a tip. Install LiveBoot. Enable the app. Install xposed and tell me what you see when you get stuck at the Samsung screen.
These 3 errors occur for me:
Rpmb Daemon failed to start
SveClient device start fail
Zygote fails to connect.
I'm using the SM-G935W8
anyone have gotten any problem with snapchat? i dont mean the login part.. i mean the taking photo in snapchat.. when i had xposed installed everytime i took a photo on snapchat i get forceclose.. anyone got this problem too?
What type of device is s7 edge is it x68 or arm 68 etc
