Sitting here looking at my phone with the exact same issue...
Which file did you try to flash it with? I used one from a guide but I'm not allowed to link to anything because I'm a new user
Not sure if that's the wrong one or what's up...

Hello, if you root device knox will be tripped and some apps that are knox related will never work, like s health, samsung pay and secret folder

I've followed the guide in this forum downloaded the file from chainfire site for my exact model but it didn't work only ended up in samsung logo. I am even unable to shutoff my device, be aware that CF Auto root method is not working on latest patches. If u r stuck in samsung logo flash stock firmware via odin then u r good to go....

Build MMB29K. I've tried and can't get TWRP loaded on there. I just bought this phone, but thinking about sending it back and keeping my rooted Note 3 if I can't get this to root! Here is the partial link to my post on Reddit about this same topic:
galaxynote4/comments/52my2m/has_anyone_been_able_to_root_their_smn910v/
Still no solution. Please help!
Same here
Can't get Odin to write the bootloader successfully.

Right if u took the ota you are locked as far the bootloader goes ....flashing will not be possible til this is corrected ....im told u can odin back to 5.1.1 which has a pretty easy method the safely upgrade so rooting and unlock are simplified. I never tried to rooting from the stock firmware.... does kingroot ever get u rooted? If so the u could try the aforementioned method but u would need a 6.0.1 compatible kernel (Sprint) given u r on there dev cid .
in the verizon note 4 form is where you should be looking because you have a locked bootloader.

i have been searching for weeks now for a way to root my G935P on QH1 firmware and cant seem to find anything that works. Am i missing something or is there currently no way to root on this firmware? I have tried almost every root method for the G935P and every one of them bootloops my phone, and i think its because they are for older firmwares and its not letting me flash older firmware.
One method that looked promising was to flash U firmware, but i tried this too and it didnt work, dont know if im doing something wrong or if U firmware is not able to be installed after ive updated to this latest QH1 firmware.
RIght now im kind of kicking myself for installing this latest system update, but one of the root methods i tried that was one of the steps was to go to system update and let it update to the latest firmware and now it seems as if im stuck here with no way to root
I'm in the same boat, I recently just upgraded from the Note 3 (brother gave me his S7E). I'm not new to rooting, but its definitely not as easy as it used to be.

Not worth rooting this phone. The method is extremely unstable. Any reason why you need to root? There could be a non root workaround

Same here. The bootloops is crazy! I have rooted the tmobile and verizon versions before with no issues. I was begining to think the Qualcomm boot file was bad. But it appears it's with the sprint s7 edge.

Not unstable at all.. I have mine rooted for a long time. It's fast and works just fine... If you follow the steps in order, then you should have no problems at all... This is the simplest method of all.

Last year I followed the thread below to install a custom rom on my Verizon S7 Edge:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/development/rom-t3569416
I do not believe this was supposed to root the phone.
Yesterday, I found an original Verizon rom and flashed it on the S7 Edge using Odin. I am updating to 8.0 Oreo right now through the automatic updates on the phone.
I found the stock rom at the thread below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/sm-g935v-stock-odin-firmware-t3581727
Can I check to make sure the phone will pass all software related trade-in criteria? I do not want to lose $275?
Thanks.
Just a note - before trading-in, and performing the factory reset, remove any Google accounts from the phone. Otherwise the phone won't be able to be reused due to Factory Reset Protection.

If you are worried about root still on the phone you can get a root checker app. Also, check download mode to make sure nothing is tripped in there or says custom.
Hello everyone. I'm new here. I wanted to know if I can change my S7 edge (exynos) sm-g935fd firmware from UAE to India. I am currently on Oreo G935FXXS8ETCA Xsg which has bootloader 8 if I'm not wrong, but I want to install ins firmware G935FODD7ETA1 also Oreo which has bootloader 7 . Is this switch possible?
P.s. I want to change firmware bcoz I am not getting volte on my phone. I've tried a few things without any luck. And the only solution seems to be to change my CSC. Any help will be appreciated.

As far as I know you can't downgrade due to antirollback protection. I don't imagine switching firmwares would work very well at all

It not a rollback technically it's more of a sideways move but I might be wrong. Is it because of the older bootloader on the firmware I want to switch to?
Thanks for the reply.

If you attempt to switch your bootloader to an older version it can cause a hard brick putting the device into EDL mode but I do believe you can switch the system a bit
So there is no way to change the firmware? Is there any way I can get volte

You should be able to swap the system partition and CSC to something else as long as your not in any kind of Android Verified Boot
I don't know what that is. But I've only been using stock ROMs from ota updates. My phone isn't rooted either. I just want to activate volte on my phone. I would really appreciate if you could help me.
Btw thanks for the prompt replies.

You're absolutely welcome! I'll have a search around Google and maybe point you into the right direction. I'm sure there is a flashable firmware for Odin (combo-firmware) that enables this
EDIT:
Because your on an International chipset (Exynos) you can actually flash a custom OS which supports the Volte. Just ensure you've taken the steps to unlock the bootloader through the developer options in settings (enable OEM unlock)
Don't unlock your bootloader and dont root your phone
if something goes wrong the EFS patition will corrupt and you are on U8
U7 combination firmware is not available and we dont know when will it will be available
you have to download U8 rom and flash home csc from U7 INS (latest software available for India)
it will enable Volte on your phone
make sure to tick nand erase when flashing Autoboot and f.reset time

Unlocking and root have nothing to do with the EFS partition. Sounds like you may have did something like modifying it and caused data to be corrupt and you never kept a backup.

once i root my device then after monts i decided to go back on stock
then after some monts i decided to try NFE 9.0 Black Diamond after that i get many errors and made a mistake
6 monts before i didn't know things now i know things like bl and opening and booting phone wihtout bl and many more
its the easiest method to get INS VOLTE on UAE Exynos Model
My phone is running smooth but efs is corrupted that makes S/N No. none and no network
Phone is dead from march
Lets hope for U7 and U8 combination firmware
Thanks for the help. Really
Volte used to work before the Oreo update. And won't a custom ROM trip my Knox? (I use secure folder). I recently tried to flash a stock ROM with modified CSC file to get volte working on my S6 g920f. But it didn't work. It tripped my Knox and now my short codes don't work and CSC shows blank. Calls work though. But no volte.

You can wait for the INDIAN U8 STock and then flash it on your device with Home CSC which will surely enable volte
Remember With Nanderase f.reset time and auto reboot
Don't trip your knox i regret it!!
I would wait too if you trip Knox with a warranty then your SOL. If your lucky you won't be it's best to wait for the firmware
Well I am waiting till there is a stock firmware. But I don't think there will be an official update seeing as it's an old model phone and the official software support is only 2 or 3 years from the company. So fingers crossed. I might flash the ins version and try to make it work if I get a new phone and my S7 will become a spare.
And thanks for the help guys ?.
Now I'm thinking of flashing a custom ROM on my S6. Let's see ....
