After having a great deal of stress regarding the notification issues, I have come up with a solution.
Please note:
1. I have no idea why my solution works on only this one version of the firmware, but I can only reproduce it on build number NXT-AL10C00B129SP02 (The second-to-newest Chinese firmware). I cannot reproduce the solution on other versions and have not yet gotten notifications working on them, so please make sure you have the same version of everything as I do to make it go smoothly. I have only tried and failed on the latest Chinese and the latest international firmware, so perhaps an older version of that will have good results.
2. I can't guarantee this will work for everyone. Everyone has a different combination of software and settings, etc. What works for me very well may not work for you, and vice versa.
That being said, here is what I did, and how you can test and make sure it's working right for you.
Step One: Set up the OS.
Get NXT-AL10C00B129SP02 (available from the development section of this forum). You can unpack it and flash it with flashboot. The unpacking tool is as follows:
http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00173/wwfQ/HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.3.zip
This tutorial won't cover flashboot usage. Please figure it out with google and feel free to ask if you need additional help.
You will then need to get TWRP installed. Please refer to root thread.
Getting into TWRP, please first format your /data partition, then flash the following in order. (maybe different versions will work, but these are what I used, and they worked for me, so maybe better safe than sorry.)
---
decrypt boot B129SP02.zip (can be found in this forum)
BETA-SuperSU-v2.66-2016013015024.zip
open_gapps-arm64-6.0-micro-20160108.zip
---
Then, clear cache and dalvik cache, boot the device up, and set it up.
Get into developer options and turn on ADB debugging. We will use adb to check that everything is working properly. Also, configure an email account with gmail. We'll use gmail to test as well.
Step Two: Doze Settings
Download and install Doze Settings Editor, available from the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/root-doze-settings-editor-android-t3235130
Open SuperSU, then open Doze Settings Editor. SuperSU will ask for root permission, please grant it.
Go into Doze Setting Editor. To keep it easier, go to preferences and change display from milliseconds to seconds.
Set the following, from the top down.
30, 0, 0, 20.0, 0, 0, 12, 12, 2.0, 60, 600, 2.0, 3600, 300, 60, 20
(Easier way to do this is to load tuhinxp04's profile and just change idle timeout and max idle timeout to 60 sec and 600 sec respectively)
Step Three: Test
Now, we will test! Make sure you have adb on your computer, plug your phone into your computer, and run the following commands:
adb shell
dumpsys battery unplug
(turn off the screen of your phone)
dumpsys deviceidle step
(repeat this command until the state is IDLE.)
Now, check the status with this command:
dumpsys deviceidle
Things to look at from the output of this command are:
mState
mNextAlarmTime
Basically, mNextAlarmTime will count down to zero. When it reaches zero, mState will go from IDLE to IDLE_PENDING (and that's when you'll get your notifications). The settings we put in Doze Settings Editor make it so that the countdown starts at one minute, then increases twofold each time until it hits ten minutes. So the longest you'll wait to receive an email notification would be 9 min, 59 seconds.
If everything went well, the device will go from IDLE to IDLE_PENDING after the countdown. Send a test email and watch it arrive.
That's it! If this works, you'll get your notifications. You can adjust the numbers in Doze Settings Editor to match your personal preference.
Now here's the odd thing. With the latest Chinese firmware and international firmware, it does not go into IDLE_PENDING after the countdown. Instead, the countdown goes from +1sec to 0sec to -1sec and counts up, when debugging with ADB. I have no idea how to fix this, but if anyone with other firmware wants to try this solution and see what happens, hopefully we can fix notifications for all software versions. For now I'll stick with NXT-AL10C00B129SP02
UPDATE: I have somehow gotten AL10C00B129SP02 to behave the same as the newer version. I will look further into this as best I can and figure this out. So please hang on a little longer
Is the push notification issue affecting every firmware and model or only few? I'm still deciding to buy the phone or not, so wondering.. Thanks!

I tried this on my L29 running B162. It seems to have made no difference at all. Notifications are still significantly delayed, especially for email.

I think this is a Huawei EMUI thing. If you look back at older phones on older versions of Android (P8, Mate 7, etc) they all had this issue (and still do). People try to blame doze, but this issue existed long before Marshmallow was around.
I have the European L29 model and I see this issue. Don't let anyone try to tell you that model doesn't suffer from it. It's real.
Guys check my post on 100% working solution for Notifications http://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...ues-huawei-t3345380/post66044102#post66044102
I can't open the quick settings menu from the notification center and can't really do much. Only interact with already installed apps. I can't hange the user, I can't enable developer options I can't save the files via USB and neither does adb work.
I never worked with a Motorola, do you have any idea what I could try?

My Overheat Heat and flash problem issues leading to
OEM Motherboard replacement and acquiring ROOT again
OP Note : read the whole guide or for that matter any OP
Thanks to many XDA-Developers forums, if you are not quoted or mentioned here I will add you !!
Device : Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Verizon SM-910V this OP ONLY !!!
Code:
[COLOR=Red][B]Your warranty is now void.[/B][/COLOR]
*most likely you don't have a warranty because you broke it, ROM'd it, its old and past warranty anyway !**
So, There is no warranty anyway, not even if you did anything in this thread to it
We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or your getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this guide
before flashing it! (thanks @hsbadr)
YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at anyone for messing up your device, we will laugh at you
Symptoms : ROMs not flashing/installing , crashing, High heat, low battery life on new battery hardware note working specifically fingerprint.
Problems : digging through many forums 2 years later to root and unlock the bootloader, it took DAYS
Solution: keep track of my progress and make a useful step by step NOOB guide for Everything !
Section 1: Repairs
Then the rest of the sections are for Rooting, Installing TWRP custom recovery, fixing bootloader , and installing ROMS
Section 2: Flashing via ODIN and the correct rootable OEM rom 5.1.1 on a windows PC
section 2a: Flashing via Heimdall on a Linux device --need comments
Section 3: Achieve temporary root to install bootloader fix
Section 4: Use of ADB to (windows and linux ) to copy over bootloader fix
Section 5: install TWRP custom recovery and your first rom
Section 1: Repairs
If you have to replace the motherboard, and you have any other futzy component, might as well order it at this point, your going through pretty much the same process. I am only doing the motherboard, but the cameras and USB board are right there as well on this repair
I have been running a rooted Verizon Galaxy note 4 since Cynogenmod crashed and switched to Lineageos 14 and then 15.
Here is the forum
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...eo-8-1-0-unofficial-lineage-15-1-rom-t3760969
After several suggestions and searches, many users hinted I may be getting a Bad internal memory,
which refuses to write anymore.
So I had to go to Walmart and buy a LG Straight talk phone to use as my daily driver,
Then I ordered a new motherboard from China, 29.00 on Aliexpress.
See OP thread #2 below!! It was not fun searching for it, but I saved $20 to $40 from buying on ebay
What I bought may not be available from this seller, but here is the link. Use a desktop browser, it will show "suggested" other devices...

When I received it , it was time to look for a repair procedure on YouTube.
Hardware needed: thin shim and 00 size phillips, AND a blank cheap SD card you don't mind losing. It may be unusable after we are done
Cell Phone repair tool kit really helps save your fingernails !
Complete note 4 teardown video:

Just the Motherboard video
Code:
[media=youtube]5KpT755hNpM[/media]
In the second video, you can see the phone booting up as a test to see if you have all the connections correct.
Because it came from china, its a good idea to setup your user and
download the app CPUz before you put all the screws back in,
and check to see if you have a real or fake chipset.
Yaayyyy mine was real . Thanks Aliexpress.
Button it up and do a factory reset (it booted up set up as a no user) so I wanted a fresh install oem with my user.
Section 2: Installing the Correct rootable OEM rom so we can install Anything else.
FIRST check to see if you have the emmc brickbug or you will BRICK it !!
1. Google play store install eMMC Brickbug
If your long number starts with 15xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, YOU are Golden ! if not STOP, get another board ! or you are going to waste time , and get another board !
The Galaxy Note 4 Verizon had a special custom locked bootloader installed after the 4.4.4 release to 5.0.1 and made it very difficult to get
root access to your device.
I saw the notice
DON'T UPDATE YOUR BOOTLOADER TO ANYTHING AFTER THE LATEST BUILD AS OF 4/19/16
warning about a week to late. So I finished out my 2 year contract and watched the forums.
Seriously noobs, don't update your new motherboard ...
The rom pre-installed on my replacement motherboard was already setup booted to a running 5.0.1 oem rom, I could not root it.. with any method I remember downgrading my 6.x.x to 5.1.1 in one of the many forums listed here at XDA
This one was the one I used back then, and It turned out that is where I started..
Only a Verizon Samsung Galaxy note 4 Developer Edition has the ability to install custom roms, and most likely the motherboard you bought or have is NOT a developer edition
IF you have a eMMC that starts with 15 we can reprogram it a developer edition
Thanks to @hsbadr
Here are most of the downloads we need:
Code:
[URL]https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=15720#downloads[/URL]
2. Download Odin, Download TWRP, and Samsung_unlock_n4-fix
3. On your windows PC, create a folder c:/Odin and extract the Odin zip file there, and copy the TWRP image there
4. Download the following OEM root able ROM to your c:/Odin folder
Code:
[URL]https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=18880[/URL]
5. Plug your phone into a USB port on your Windows PC
6. Install the necessary drivers if they don't automatically install from Samsung
Code:
[URL]https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows[/URL]
7. Set up your phone for flashing ROM and communicating
Settings - Security - Unknown sources- : check allow
settings - system -about phone - build number : click several times until you activate developer options
settings - system -about phone - developer options : Android Debugging : enable android debug bridge
settings - security - reactivation lock : Turn OFF or you will brick your device ( may vary where this is at . Important to turn off )
Power Off phone
Enter Download Mode - press and hold in this order <down arrow> <home> <power> until screen comes on. release buttons.

settings - system -about phone - developer options : Android Debugging : enable android debug bridge
settings - security - reactivation lock : Turn OFF or you will brick your device ( may vary where this is at . Important to turn off )
Yayy, you now have a rootable device
Section 3 Achieve temporary root to install bootloader fix
In my try to obtain temporary root, I tried every method in all the forums ( go ahead and look and try )
The only 2 programs that reported to work is Kingroot, and Kingoroot. These are APK's that are NOT in the play store
you will have to download them and install them as unknown sources. I was only able to install kingroot . Kingoroot apk would not install
in both my 5.0.1 original on my motherboard, as well as what we just installed 5.1.1 I was unsucessful at obtaining root with these programs
Then I remembered Kingoroot has a windows version that installs on the PC <dangerous dont install yet>
On your PC you will need AVG antivirus to catch the malware ( other antivirus may work but this is what I had ) my PC is windows 7 ultimate
Advanced Users only :Recommend running a virtual machine with windows so as to keep your PC completely malware free. just delete the VM after this process !
This section you will need on your Note 4 from the Play Store : root checker
You will need a throw away SD card
You will need read through section 4 and 5 and get all files and programs there ready to install use and or transfer
0.5 update your AVG
1. With AVG installed on my PC, and my phone connected as a mtp with usb I downloaded and installed Kingoroot for windows.
https://www.kingoapp.com/
NOTE after not being able to install forum recommended kingoroot apk's i dint want wast time install the newest kingoroot apk from the website. Maybe it will work for you. If you do get kingoroot apk to work on your Note 4 let me know.
2. In the install process for kingoroot windows version AVG will quarantine a file.
there will be a couple popups .. close them
when its installed it will open and start talking to your phone.
3. press the root button.
It will take 30 sec to a minute to install some files on your phone and achieve root, there will be a new floating toolbar on the phone. root will disappear after a reboot, but not the resident programs this root is pretty stable, but i was not able to install SuperSUME (paid version ) as recommended in a XDA guide to obtain permanent root for this 5.1.1 rom. If your successful with super SUme with this let me know.
4. Open root checker to verify ! yayy.
5. Cleanup instructions when finished with this guide below
Section 4: Use of ADB to (windows and Linux ) to copy over bootloader fix
1. Your Note4 phone should be running with root, make sure phone is connected
Explanation : ADB is a Google provided tool for the android platform. It communicates with your phones operating system , transfers files , and actuates programs remotely in the background. totally necessary for development of ROM's, TWRP, and programs for every android device
You may or may not know that your android device is running a Linux kernel, with some Linux programs, with custom folders and custom files and settings, and the touch screen is the GUI graphical user interface touch input.
ADB is a command line user interface, when you turned this on in Developer settings, the kernel is listening constantly on the USB com port and some times on the WiFi com port for commands. if you don't need it turn it off, it could be a security hole, but we need it on.
It works great on windows, mac, or Linux varieties
2. Install on your computer
Code:
[URL]https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools[/URL]
If you have linux, your distribution may have a package you can install from your distribution. Then it will be in your path as a command
3. Windows users , extract or install into c:/ADB and add that to your PATH variable if you want to use it all the time as a command
4. Open a command prompt window (search command or cmd , right click open as administrator)
5. If you have ADB folder in your path or are running Linux change directories to the folder where you downloaded the Samsung n4 fix file
6. You should still have root
type
Code:
adb devices
The ADB daemon ( little server program ) will start and return some information.
your phone will have a popup screen and should ask for permission, click allow
again type
Code:
adb devices
7. You should see something like this
Code:
List of devices attached
123a12ab device
The 123a12ab is made up. Yours will be specific to your device.
If you see something listed like the above adb is working. Now on to the next command to move the Samsung_unlock_n4-fix to the phone.
type dir ( or ls -al for Linux users ) to verify Samsung_unlock_n4-fix is in your directory
8. Send Unlocker to Phone with adb
Type or copy and paste the following command:
Code:
adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/
You should see successful output .
If you don't, check your PATH, check if your in the right folder, or make sure samsung_unlock_n4-fix is in your adb folder
9. Activate the unlocker. This requires root and a reboot. After the reboot you have to go and reactivate root in Section 3.3 above
type the following
Code:
adb shell
Congratulations you are now looking at the linux command line interface on your phone . the $ prompt means you are in the shell
10. activate superuser mode ( kind of like administrator in windows but more powerful )
type
Code:
su
then press enter key
YOU SHOUD NOW SEE a # prompt
This means you succeed in root. If you dont see a # you missed a step above somewhere , or your root was unstable and took too long to get to this point,that is why I said read thru this section and get ready..
Ok at this point we have the file we needed transfered, we have root, now we need to upgrade the permissions on the file so #root level of the operating system can use it !
The next command does all that then executes the command to upgrade your phone to developer edition !
Copy and paste the following command series and press enter.the && joins each command
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp/ && chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix && chown root.root samsung_unlock_n4-fix && ./samsung_unlock_n4-fix
The device will reboot and flash the developer code.
You should see some sort of progress in the window.
When done ,unplug the cable and pull the battery to shut down phone.
11. Make sure you have a cheap throwaway SD card installed !
One More Time to unlock the boot loader !! section 3 and 4 short version
Put the battery and cable back in and turn the phone back on and make sure its plugged in your PC.
Now repeat the kingoroot PC to gain temp root
open a command prompt or shell
type or copy paste the following to verify its connected
Code:
adb devices
transfer the fix
Code:
adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/ && a
open the shell on your phone
Code:
adb shell
gain super user rights
Code:
su
unlock the boot loader
same command series
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp/ && chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix && chown root.root samsung_unlock_n4-fix && ./samsung_unlock_n4-fix
You will see your phone do a series of outputs then reboot. when it reboots, disconnect the cable.
If this step is sucessful your phone will keep rebooting. This is NORMAL . after the first or second reboot, pull the battery and pull the sd card, and set the sdcard aside. It will need to be thrown out or repartititioned to be usable. or you can keep it as a memento on your charm bracelet.
Your bootloader is NOW UNLOCKED . keep phone off until you read the next section
Section 5a: install TWRP custom recovery
Currently right now you have 5.1.1 installed with some Chinese malware on your phone and PC,
A custom developer edition and an unlocked boot loader. Lets fix them all.
Turn on phone download mode . <down volume><home><power> then volume up to enter download mode
Open Odin again ( see above )
Connect phone ( look for com and blue bar )
Select AP button, and browse to TWRP file
Press start. when finished phone will restart.
Don't let it boot all the way back up! , pull battery, and install good SD card, and if you read this section you downloaded what you needed for a new ROM onto your sdcard
Turn off the automatic rebooting in the custom tab, DO NOT select the PIT tab
Press start
Once it finishes it will say Success or FAILED
IF it says FAILED start the whole process over! you didn't unlock the bootloader !
If success, Power off the phone with the pull battery method and disconnect your cable
Press and hold these buttons immediately to enter TWRP ,
<volume up> <home> <power>.
Swipe to allow changes in TWRP.
Select backup , change to SD card, You can also plug in a memory device into the USB port. If it sees it you will be able to use that for backup space
BACKUP everything . You now have a custom recovery installed, a unlocked bootloader, and a rootable ROM Backed UP !
If you feel you want to do this all over again if you flash the OEM Samsung ROM via Odin by accident like I did, ha ha skip the next steps
Select the backup button, select all the partitions, select the source, where you want to store it.
Name the backup rooted-backup-everything-5.1.1
Select start and go make some coffee or a sandwich. its about 4 gigabytes compression, so it may take about 5 to 10 minutes
Clean up -
uninstall windows kingoroot PC and do a virus check
check for hidden folders and registry entries
Section 5b. Install your first ROM
Cleanup : After your backup WIPE your phone twice
THIS IS TO guarantee, no Kingoroot or kingroot stuff is in the phone !!!
WIPE IT TWICE !!!
Some guides (listed below ) say to adb sideload over a root file , then install an older rom. I haven tried this. Let me know if you did and are successful.
Whatever ROM you use, please post a success story in the reply's. I am interested in how you all do.
I have tried every note 4 ROM and this is the most succesful for me and most stable
I have been using this ROM for a while, and the lineageos 14 version too
Code:
[URL]https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/oreo-8-1-0-unofficial-lineage-15-1-rom-t3760969[/URL]
In most all ROMS, you can update the bootloader (TWRP) by TWRP app if rooted
you can update the modem ( a partition that contains original Samsung code to run the cell and wireless ) via ODIN
Roms and patches and other goodies can be installed via TWRP by downloading to your device or transfering them to your sd card
Oem ROMS must be installed via ODIN, and will WIPE all you just accomplished. so unless your selling your device, or giving it to grandma DONT.
If you copied the rom ( usually a zip file ) and the necessary files, and have upgraded your bootloader and modem to the newest,
Now install your ROM, and after your initial setup, come back to TWRP and do a full backup !
every time you try a new rom, and get it set up, do a backup. that way you can switch and test to your hearts desire till you run out of SD memory.
The cool thing is you can backup to an external memory device ! more room !
Follow the directions in the OP of your ROM to install. Enjoy

Update:
Looking for a motherboard for a 910 that's not a v?
Thanks to user @maralexbar I need to update some info
Method 1 use eBay. Find your correct motherboard easily.
Method 2. Save some money use Ali Express ( China )
If you use Ali, and don't find your motherboard on a direct search, keep digging.
I forgot to mention this.
Looking for my Verizon motherboard, I found lots of parts like the USB internal connector etc. But no mobo. I had to go thru the store listing of the seller of the USB connector to find a vendor that had a mobo. Then I tried comparing different vendors. So do some digging. There is a billion people on Ali express selling stuff. Don't give up.
Plus Ali wants happy international buyers. So if you get a bogus item, you get your money back.

If you don't mind not having a working fingerprint sensor, or audio through the headphone jack, then Q is stable enough for daily use. As always when coming from an older rom version, it is highly recommended not to waste your time dirty flashing and just clean flash.
Q is still a work in progress, so I will still be releasing Pie builds, though maybe not as often. As in years past, once the Q bugs have been fixed up to the current Pie level, I will post about when my last Pie build will be. I will upload it to the Downloads tab located at the top of each page of this thread, and link it in the OP.
Hello XDA community,
Im a noobie when it comes to rooting, thats why i need help...
I deleted some files that i want to recover on my Samsung S7 Edge 2-3 years ago, this device has Android 7.0. (Never updated)
There is a lot of apps such as Disk Digger that offer you to recover every single file but the device must be rooted to access 100% on the internal memory.
Right now my Samsung S7 Edge is not rooted but i need to root to recover this files, so my question is, there is anyway of rooting without factory reset, or there is anyway of doing a fully backup of the internal memory of my device without touching the partitions so then i can try recovering my files later with this apps?
I hope someone can help me...
Regards
It's pretty disappointing that nobody ever responded to this considering how big is a community it is and how popular the S7 Edge was. I know this is pretty old and hopefully you were able to resolve this before this message but I'm going to respond to this just so you don't feel like your question wasn't acknowledged at all. I have an S7 Edge through Verizon which uses the Snapdragon processor. And I will find a link to post for you that although the method says it's discontinued I rooted my phone through this method and it works fine. The only reason that you would have to wipe your phone is if you're changing firmware as far as I know. I've rooted my phones and did not have to wipe them. I kept all the data and everything.
Before I lift this you are also asking about an application that you could use to back up your phone and that would be Samsung smart switch. It has a companion app for the desktop and it sinks to the phone and it'll make a backup of your data.
Now on to the root method all props and praise goes to the people that worked to give this to the people I'm not good at doing all this **** and I'm not meaning to step on any toes I'm just trying to help you since nobody did for two ****ing years.
To root
1. Download PrinceComsys Odin
Odin.Prince.Comsy.zip
drive.google.com
2. Download the engboot.
Engboot Download
Nougat_S7_Edge_EngBoot.tar.md5
drive.google.com
3 make sure you have adb and fastboot installed on your computer (goggle them)
4. Root file

BELOW IS THE ROOT AND MOD FOR THE PHONE!!!!!
Follow this method to root:
1. Shut off the phone and boot into download mode (volume down, home, and power). Use Odin And Flash Nougat_S7_Edge_EngBoot.tar.md5 In AP Slot
2. When the phone reboots, unlock developer options by going into the phone settings scroll down to 'about phone' find the build number and tap on it repeatedly after several times it will unlock Developer Options then back out once and in your settings you should have a new option on the very bottom called developer options go into that and enable USB debugging and Disable Verify Apps Over USB.
Plug the phone into the computer and make sure you have adb and fastboot installed to this location
C:\Users\YOUR PROFILE\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools
go to that folder and inside it hold shift and right click then click on 'open command window here'
then in command prompt type
adb devices
then hit enter.
The computer should automaticly detect and run adb
3. Unzip the Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2.zip and hold shift and right click then click on 'open command window here'
In the command window type root.bat then press enter from your PC.
4. This will install root when done phone will reboot
5. The process wipes dalvik cache so it will take a few minutes to reboot
6. If having problems getting Grant SuperSU dialog to come up you can delete the SuperSU app and root will be granted instantly to all root request
Give phone a few min to settle open developer options set animation scales .05 and others to .05

ODIN FAILED TO WRITE ERROR
Did you get this Failed To Write Message in Odin?
----------------------------
Odin Error Message:
<ID:0/003> FAIL! Model dismatch fail
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
SOLUTIONS
Did you:
? Open Odin as Administrator?
? Try the Prince Comsy version?
? Enable Developer Settings?
-Open Settings > About Phone > Tap Build Number 7 Times
? Enable OEM Unlock?
-Go Back to Settings > Tap Developer Options > Tap OEM Unlock
? Enable USB Debugging?
-Tap Developer Options > Tap USB Debugging
NOTHING WORKS
Did you try every single thing but nothing works?
Well, did you right click "Odin" each time you go to open it and then click "open as administrator"?
Sometimes you have to try several different versions of Odin.
But I have found that Odin3 v3.12.7 was the one that would work when the others had not.
I always would forget to also open Odin as Administrator.
It's a pain in the neck to have to remember to open as admin every time.
But you usually have to do it.
Did you check that ADB had started? Maybe that might be the reason it won't work?
But I doubt it! But you just never know and I am just trying to help you get it flashed.
It's a very quick flash and you can see that the PDA load was very quick as well.
But as far as the errors, you just have to keep trying...
Which I mean, you sometimes have to open, close, reopen Odin when it doesn't work.
Sometimes that helps, sometimes it doesn't.
It's all about the right Odin version at the time
making sure the cord is good
Opening Odin as Admin
And keep trying again after restarting your phone by holding the download mode button sequence again.
============
Congratulations! You are ROOTED but you're not done
Follow these instructions next
On your phone, open the SuperSU app (installed during the root process) and tap on Settings. Half-way down under Security, tap on "Enable su during boot".
This option will ensure that startup scripts that are installed during this process get to do their job correctly.
Download the fix or fix+debloat script flashable ZIP package appropriate for your model of phone and copy this file to your device:
S7_VOLTE_ICON_FIX_ALL_VARIANTS or S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip (MD5 hash F15CD9BDC35382A8F48FFBEDBB1BCDF0) (any Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge)
turn off auto update of time and date in your phone settings, then set your year to 2013,
Launch FlashFire app on the phone and click the (+) button in the lower right to add a step. Select a 'Flash ZIP or OTA' flash step.
Locate the flashable ZIP package and select it. For options, check on 'Mount /system read/write' and leave the rest of the options unchecked.
Tweaks to Root

after you flash your stuff change the date back. and you're good.
I know this all seems like a lot and it seems very confusing but it's pretty easy if you just follow the directions this will not wipe your data. Please do research, read through the forms and just tried to get as much knowledge as you can before you go about doing this it's an easy process but it's better to go in with more knowledge, I hope this helps. If you have to reinstall the firmware make sure that you install CSC home so you don't lose your data
********** ANNOUNCEMENT - Beta Enrollment without Banner (OPEN NOW - Nov 16,17) - Read More Here
INTRODUCTION - Hello all. Now Samsung wants us to go to Members app and keep looking for banner to sign up for Android 11, One UI 3 Beta . It went live October 27th, 10:20 PM EST, As fate would have it, i went to sleep early, i missed it and the banner refused to show up for me in the morning. Download was only showing up for people with unlocked variants on ATID firmware.
DISCLAIMER / NOTICE - Flashing is always risky. I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your device including but not limited to it turning against you, making you its slave and sucking you into the Matrix.
This post is a collection of wisdom, research and hard work of many people over many years across many forums and not just XDA. I will try to credit and link to their original posts.
TIP -Keep in Notice -This SHALL NOT Factory Reset Your Device or Format Data, it is still a good idea to Take Back Up - Just a Suggestion - Always have a latest Back Up
******** UPDATE - It seems ATT devices are getting wiped now if its CSC or the Sim remains to be tested.
i don't have ATT hence cant verify but in case you have an Unlocked device (N986U1) with ATT sim, then, removing sim and Changing the CSC to XAA/XAA/XAA before sideloading Beta is advisable.
PROBLEM STATEMENT - Missed the One UI 3.0, Android 11, Beta Sign up Banner in Members app or got the banner but didn't get the download and I really want it NOW.
Not sure if you want it now? - Find the BETA CHANGELOG HERE
GRAB YOURSELF A COFFEE / DRINK, because depending on where you at and how fast you/your internet speeds/your Machine is this may take anywhere between 7 to 45 MinsSOLUTION -
1. Pre-Requisites - Make sure Following Conditions are met before you start
You need a PC/Laptop along with your phone and USB Cable.
You need ADB installed, you can use ADB on Linux too - NOTE If your ADB Tools are not working, download my ADB Folder called platform-tools. Then extract it somewhere easy to remember/ find, like desktop
Remember the Location of the folder where you have ADB installed / Location of platform-tools- This is the location containing adb.exe file.
You may or may not need ADB/USB Drivers if any errors in ADB please Download Drivers from here and Install on your PC.
This following one step is relevant Only for flashing Beta 1
Use Odin to Flash Unlocked (SM-N986U1) ATID Firmware if you are not on that. Refer this thread to get your Firmware.
For changing Firmware from N986U to N986U1 and / or GUIDE TO FLASHING USING ODIN Refer This thread
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. Now Download the relevant Beta File that you intend to flash - note that to Sideload Beta 2 you need to be on Beta 1 first. Mandotory Sequence = Beta 1>>Beta 2>>Beta 3 There is no skipping versions possible here.
BETA 1 (ZTGJ) Get the Beta1.zip file from here Thanks to @thatotherguy.. for the original zip.
BETA 2 (ZTK1) Get the Beta2.zip file from here
BETA 3 (ZTK9) Get the Beta3.zip file from here
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
*************** Apply Update from SD card failed for me (Feel free to try that ) but here we will be using ADB Sideload Feature in Stock Recovery*************
HOW TO - Using ADB Sideload - Windows -The Process is Similar for Linux too
1. Copy the downloaded zip file to the ADB Folder (From Pre-Requisite step). ADB Folder is the folder containing ADB.exe it might be named differently for you (The one i have posted is called platform-tools)
2. Open Command Prompt Window as Admin.
3. Type in
Code:
cd Copy-paste the location of your ADB folder here
4. Connect the phone to the PC using USB Cable and Unlock it. Go to Developer Options and Switch on USB Debugging.
To turn on developer options go to Settings>>About Phone>>Software Information>> Then tap the build number 7 times - Developer options will appear at the bottom of Settings Menu
5. On your PC Type in Command Prompt
Code:
adb devices
6. Give Permission that appears on your phone and PC - I check the box Always Allow, you should do the same.
7. Now type the following and the phone will reboot to recovery.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
8. Once you see recovery on your phone Use Volume Keys to scroll down to Apply Update from ADB and press Power Button.
9. Now on your PC, Type the following in Command Prompt; this is just to be sure, it should show the device name with Sideload next to it.
Code:
adb devices
10. Type
Code:
adb sideload Beta1.zip
For Beta 2 use adb sideload beta2.zip Similarly For Beta 3 use adb sideload beta3.zip. Use whatever you have named the zip file. Most people use update.zip. The commands here are for the attached files in this post and their naming convention.
11. Wait for it to finish and Done
2nd (Second) BETA Is Out- How To Do this if you are not able to Enroll for Beta and or don't see update to download even after Enrolling
Second Beta should be flashed After Beta 1. Second Beta (ZTK1) can not be flashed unless you have Beta 1 (ZTJG).
To flash follow the same instructions as above only this time the prerequisite is you have to be on the 1st Beta. Download the 2nd Beta (ZTK1) Zip File to flash Here Thanks to @hayabusa1300cc for the FOTA Link.
3rd (Third) BETA Is Out- Nov 16, 2020 Do this if you are not able to Enroll for Beta and or don't see update to download even after Enrolling
Third Beta should be flashed After Beta 1>>Beta 2. Third Beta (ZTK9) can not be flashed unless you have Second Beta (ZTK1). Second Beta (ZTK1) can not be flashed unless you have Beta 1 (ZTJG).
To flash follow the same instructions as above only this time the prerequisite is you have to be on the 2nd Beta. Download the 3rd Beta (ZTK9) Zip File to flash Here
OPTIONAL THINGS TO DO POST UPDATE
If you want to enable RCS (In the Native SMS app) and Native Video calling (This feature is on Tmobile) have a look at this thread.
Check out this Guide Service Mode and CSC Guide/Enable LTE/5G Bands and Services/5G Low Band on U1 by @mellojosh
TROUBLESHOOTINGSome people might run into "cant read update.zip" error for that we need to make ADB Large address aware. Follow the Steps Here I use the Advanced mode as it shows the true false flags. - This wont happen if you use the ADB Tools provided by me above under the Pre-requisites section.

I flashed on an Unlocked one so there is no way for me to tell if this can be flashed on N986U since so many people have flashed Unlocked firmware on the U devices using Odin (One confirmed guy flashed unlocked firmware on Verizon locked device and got the Beta banner) hence i think this will work for all Snapdragon devices. Give it a try and see. Just that before you try this make sure you are on ATID firmware.

Too early in the morning to go out and test that. This is Beta and i have already encountered some bugs. So you have to be up for that.
Good Lock wont work, gesture navigation is buggy, you can not even apply wallpapers from the Galaxy Themes app.
Wallpaper Service on the other hand is greatly improved. Fingerprint sensor is much faster.

My friend there are so many reasons why that error can happen. Sometimes you might have to change the ADB version. I am attaching the platform-tools i used. Extract this zip inside folder on desktop and try. If that doesnt work you might need to update ADb/Samsung drivers. Let us know if this works.
