Hi Everyone
So i have had my s7 edge ages now had a few roms on it such as helios rom, batman rom and superman rom never had any issues about a month ago it froze when i was using it and when it rebooted it just froze on the Samsung logo.
I messed about with it for a day or 2 and managed to get it to boot in the end by formating the data through TWRP and then i used Odin to flash the stock firmware, then i put TWRP back on and was enjoying the use of custom roms again.
Yesterday my phone froze again when i was using it and then froze when it was rebooting and i have been doing different things since to try and get it going again i have tried using Odin to flash the stock rom i have tried putting TWRP back on and flashing different custom roms i have tried formatting the data again, And now with stock firmware on it after freezing at different points during the boot process for half an hour and rebooting its just got to the start screen :/
Sound like a hardware problem

I managed to get to the home secreen and start the first stock update but its so strange the update installs it freezes on boot and reboots like 50 times and finally comes back on then does the same with the next update.
Im currently still in a boot loop after installing stock update 2 so that sucks lol
So after several days of flashing stock fimwares etc I managed to find what was meant to be the official 7.0 firmware for the g935f so I installed that with odin and it booted fine now I have put TWRP and Helios Rom back on it and it seems fine
I am so confused lol

I'm having a major issue with my phone. I installed TWRP version ending .2 and been using roms with no issues. I also never had an issue with my GS3 in the past. In any event, I recently tried to install the FREEGS4 rom and it initially loads fine. However, when I rebooted, it froze at the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo screen. I tried formating data and reflash rom. It flashes fine and loads fine initially.. but when I reboot, it freezes at logo screen. I tried to flash another custom MDL rom and it loads fine initially but freezes at reboot.
I tried to ODIN back to stock MDC. It flashes fine but when it auto reboots, it freezes at Samsung Galaxy S4 logo screen. I tried to ODIN back to stock with MDL rom. Same issue.. The only way I can get the OS to load is if I install TWRP and I do a quick flash of a ROM. It will intially load the ROM fine but if I power off or reboot the phone, it will freeze on the Samsung Galaxy S4 Logo screen.
Does anyone what could be causing this and any recommendations on how to fix it?

Before flashing a new ROM, did you clear dalvik and cache?
Yes. I always do. I even tried formatting data. I also tried odin back to stock rom. I am using the phone now because it boots the first time after flashing a custom rom. I havent rebooted since but as soon as I do, it will freeze and I would need to re flash custom rom. Stock rom freezes too

When you Odin back to stock did you do another factory reset after boot? You need to do 2 factory resets after boot also wipe system when flashing ROMs.
i have the same issue as you.
idk if this fixed it but i went back to the stock recovery and did a factory reset twice rebooted my phone then installed twrp. flashed freegs4 and now my os boots up with no issues.
It's been awhile since I changed anything on this phone, I've been running CM11 with no issues. The wife was playing with my phone which is on cm12 and wanted me to upgrade it. Great, I hate having to touch her phone but ok.
1. Did a straight upgrade to CM12 nightly (couple nights ago build) with gapps from CM site. After the install everything crashes on the initial load, it's like the baseband is jacked and doesn't know how to handle the new google play services because everything crashes.
2. Went back and wiped internal everything this time, re installed nightly and gapps. No change.
3. Tried step 2 a couple more times and different gapps from PA and other random sites (micro, light, stock versions) and then TWRP just died on me. It's asking for a password when I first go in so now I'm stuck there. Tried to use ODIN to install the latest TWRP after converting it with another script found here (i'll find the link).
so, I'm probably going to have to use ODIN to restore some stock version of S4 ATT but I really don't know which one is stock that would work with CM12. I don't want to get caught in the safestrap crap of dual boot and whatever else. Any help is greatly appreciated.
You'll need to Odin the mdl firmware in Odin. Be careful as it will want to update itself after you flash it. See sammobile.com for the firmware.

Awesome, thanks!
Flashed the stock, towelroot, twrp from google play and cm12 nightly. Perfect and back where I left off. Thanks!!
Ok.. I did a bad thing I guess. after working for a couple weeks I tried to reset the phone while cm12.1 was installed. All it did was keep restarting TWRP and was stuck there. So I figured there was an issue with the twrp install or something whatever, I went to flash back to stock mdl in odin. Instead of selecting PDA I selected Phone and it failed on the first attempt. Then I selected PDA and it installed correctly (Said passed). Now I'm stuck on the AT&T logo on boot. I tried to reinstall the stock rom again and the same results. Where do I go from here??!?

Boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset

Ok, factory reset worked on the second try. Sent it in to a boot loop on the first go around, odd. Thanks!
After rooting my s7 edge apps started crashing (now that I think of it, I think supersu got automatically updated by the play store messing things up) so I restarted my phone. It kept getting stuck on the logo so I tried wiping everything. That didn't work so I tried booting into safe mode and after a bit of messing around the phone actually booted up normally. Then like four to three weeks later to today apps start crashing again. So then I tried flashing the stock with odin 3.12.3 and odin 3.10.6 but they both gave me errors and now i can't even boot into the at&t logo to go into safe mode. I think my phone still has the custom ENG boot from rooting it but I can still go into recovery and download mode.
I got my stock firmware from This thread
I also got Odin 3.12.3 from here if you guys need that.
I have tried a lot of things already and may have completely screwed my phone up but any help is very much appreciated
[My phone is already repaired by Samsung under warranty, my internal storage was broken so they replaced the motherboard. There is no need to reply to this thread anymore. Thanks anyway]
Hello everyone, I need help!!!!
Today my Samsung GS6 Edge+ died. (At least, that's what I think)
I own my G928F for 1,5 years now. I rooted it two weeks after that. Several weeks ago I flashed a new ROM called N-Lite Nougat v4.1 which has worked smoothly and without any problems since I've flashed it.
However, today, the 26th of June, my phone turned off all of a sudden while scrolling through Facebook. I haven't flashed, installed nor done, anything that would affect my phone in such a way that it would crash this way. I tried force rebooting with the 3 buttons pressed (Home, Vol+, On/Off) several times. My phone just boots into the ROM and then freezes instantly. Again tried force rebooting for like 5 times, NO luck. Then I tried booting into recovery mode (TWRP 3.1.0.0), cleared Dalvik and cache, factory reset, rebooted, still no luck. Tried several other custom ROM's, still NO luck. Also tried flashing stock Samsung Firmware using ODIN, no luck whatsoever.
I couldn't find any similar problems in the ROM thread, nor anywhere else on the internet. Besides that, I'm starting to think this problem is a defect to the hardware, not the software.
Does anyone know what would be the best thing to do in my situation? Or perhaps anyone who might know what the problem might be and have a possible solution?
Thanks in Advance.
Recovery mode (TWRP 3.1.0.0) is accessible though, but that's all. While trying to install another ROM it just reboots randomly, during flashing progress.
When you say you tried flashing stock rom with ODIN, does it fail or does it succeed but freezes up when you are back in android OS?

It succeeds. But when it's done it just keeps going in a bootloop. It doesn't even boot into Android now. I've used the right settings in Odin. Even tried several different versions of Odin. No success

Out of curiosity, when you flashed the stock Rom was it 6.0.1 or 7.0?
Does it just get stuck on the S6 EDGE + screen for a while? If so you might be to impatient as first boot on almost all roms both custom or stock take a while to boot up. If it shows the Samsung splash screen over and over then yes it's bootlooping.
I can't think of any other reason for it bootlooping, especially if you have flashed a stock Rom, unless maybe you flashed 7.0 rom and still have a 6.0.1 bootloader. But I think that just causes loss of baseband, not a bootloop.
I would suggest another kernel, but that is normally included in the stock rom.
Do you download them from sammobile or another site? If it's another site, is it a reliable site?

It was Android 7.0. I downloaded it from Sammobile. I've waited 40 minutes for it to boot up after successful Odin flash. But it just kept doing the same thing. The bootloader that was installed was a 7.0 bootloader. First i get the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + screen then the Samsung boot animation and it repeats for hours untill battery runs out haha

The last thing I can think of was did you get the right rom for your phone? 928F or 928T etc.
Other than that it might be a trip to the repair centre I'm afraid.

Try to do a factory reset in the stock recovery. It might help.

Yeah i got the right rom for my phone. I've already sent it to a certified Samsung repair centre, it's still under warranty. Thanks for the help anyway
I recently rooted my S7 Edge using Odin and it worked for about a day. It was slower than my stock Android and I was tinkering with it, but it eventually froze and when it rebooted it booted into Recovery Boot. Every time it reboots it tries to install a System Update which I presume fails and goes back into the recovery boot. I tried running the graphical test but it just says error and tries to install an update and the cycle repeats. I have ultimately decided I just need to reinstall the stock firmware, and have wiped the Cache and Data using the recovery boot options. However, when I plug it into my laptop it does not recognize my phone at all now. This causes quite the issue as I can't flash anything if it doesn't recognize my phone. I need help as to how I make it recognize my phone again and any other steps I might be missing to reinstall stock firmware.
Just odin Full stock Sprint firmware... I had that happen once, and it took care of it.. I'm re-rooted for about a month and it works flawless.
