S7 Edge Help - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

My retarded step-brother put a virus on his S7 Edge and I can not flash the stock ROM, it fails every time! I tried to flash TWRP but it was for the wrong device, I tried to use Kies and some other software that the phone recovery recommended but it said the device was not compatible! Now I don't understand how a system recovery recommends a program but then says the device is not compatible! How does that work? Can somebody please help me fix this phone!

Have you used ODIN to flash the stock rom? If so, please send over a copy of the logs. Where did you get the Stock rom from?

Yes, I have used ODIN. I don't know where to get the logs, the phone says binary fused 5 > 4. I got the ROM here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/odin-stock-nougat-firmware-s7-edge-t3569834
ALL HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED!!!!!

the firmware link is for the binary 4 bootloader. after reading some other threads you might have a similar problem in that you had already updated to binary 5 and can no longer downgrade to binary 4 roms. sprint is on binary 5 and you will have to flash an appropriate binary 5 rom.
find a binary 5 spr rom and flash all the files together. you should be back on track. however, if this is indeed your issue you will not be able to go back to the 935u rom later. thank sprint for that.
i came to this conclusion by searching your error 'binary fused 5 > 4' and reading similar threads.
you cannot flash twrp for that model, domestic models have a locked bootloader and will only accept signed roms

-help- SM-N910f with SM-N910p bootloader

Hello every one
I have bought a Note 4 " SM-N910f " from ebay and when I tried to root it ,I have found that the version of the bootloader belong to another Note 4 (910p).
about device
Model Num: SM-N910F
Android Ver: 5.1.1
Baseband V: N910FXXU1COH4
Build Num: DONGCHAO.A929
CpuZ
model : Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910F)
Bootloader :N910PVPU4COG5
Kernel Ver: 3.10.40-5303209(N910PVPU4COG5)
Build Num: DONGCHAO.A929
Odin mode
product name : SM-N910P
current binary: samsung officiel
system status : officiel
reactivation lock off
Knox warranty void : 0x0
the ticket on the back also show the same thing as ''About device''
but when I cheket my IMEI in ""imei.info"" it tell me that my phone is a galaxy s6 edge !!!!
the same IMEI in both (back ticket & software (#*06#))
so what should I do?
because I can't root neither flash a new firmware
Can I relace the bootloader by the one of N910f ?
(I have only try to flash the firmware of N910f ,I did not try n910p firmware's because I am afraid if I succeed I'll finish with locked network phone)
thanks a lot
have same problem. did you succeed to resolve the issue?
I realised that someone has been changing "Sprint Note 4" to look like the international version.
so I decide to install the latest stock rom ( downloaded from sammobile)
Now I am so glad because I didn't get any problem.
I don't Know how but a Note 4(n910c) IMEI was restored not an IMEI of n910p according to "Imei.info"
Hotspot and Network unlocked including LTE
Hi, I am having the same problem as you.
Can you please give me the rom that you used? And which odin version did you use?
thanks.
what version is the modem? when the moden is from n910p too then its a n910p spoofed as n910f. that can be done by changing backcover and mount a sim reader and it works like n910f. so you have a n910p mainboard in it with changed imei with jtag box

Do this only if your bootloader is a N910P**** (Use CPU-Z to check it, you can download it from the market)
You must have a least 60%
You should remove your SIM card
I've used the latest rom from this link.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/60440/N910PVPU4COJ6_N910PSPT4COJ6_SPR/
I assume that you've already installed Samsung driver
and that you have the latest version of odin v3.10.7 and that you're familiar on how to use it
but before you proceed you have to :
1- Instal a custom recovery (Twrp)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...nt/tool-utility-twrp-2-8-1-0-teamwin-t2915591
2- boot into TWRP
3-in advanced wipe dalvik cache
4-wipe data/factory reset
5-Format /cache
6-Format /system
7-Format /Data
8-go to advanced and reboot to download mode
9-flash the downloaded rom
wait (10-15min) until your device come to world
Now you have a fresh and clean note 4
10-check your IMEI (*#06#) in http://www.imei.info/
11-restrict data and wifi usage for the following app
Sprint ID
Mobile Installer
Sprint Zone
MyScript Resource Manager
12-Update Your System (settings > System Update > Update Now)
Because this is not the latest build You should upgrade to N910PVPS4COK1 (150mo)
to correct some issue with Google Play Store and other things
13- Update you Play Store and Google Services thru the Store
14- shutdown your device when finished
15-insert your SIM and wake up your Note 4
16-you should root it to profit
(remove unwanted sprint apps it's recommended check the forum to find them out -Use Titanium Backup pro #1 )
enjoy and wait for the Marshmallow =)

Hi.
So how to I get the phone to work? It is in a bootloop when switched on and I cannot go into recovery mode since the phone restarts itself when I try to do so. However I have access to download mode.
Also how do I check the version of the modem?

hello, how do I make sure if my bootloader is a N910P? I cannot download CPU-Z on the phone since the phone is in a bootloop and not switching on.
Before I had the problem, it was written SM-N910F in the about device of the phone. In download mode, it is written N910p and at the back of the phone it is written Sm-N915F.
If you can access the download mode, you simply flash the custom recovery and follow the instructions
you can get it working by flashing n910p rom with odin (download it from sammobile) after that i can say you how to get it again full working with a n910f rom so that you dont have anymore any sprint apps on it

The n910p is the Sprint model. You can update your firmware with Odin, just use the the sprint tar files.
If your not gonna use Sprint service, your first gonna want to make sure the sim is unlocked. Either with a paid service or some other way. There are threads at the Sprint forum for this! Search and read through them. Like GT tools. I am not very knowledgeable in this matter so ask I one of them threads.
Once you make sure your unlocked, if your using gsm service, you can pretty much flash any snapdragon Rom! All you need is to flash a Sprint kernel and correct data fix with the Rom you want.
Also Before you do anything, make a complete backup with twrp! Also make another one once you get unlocked.
The Rom you decide to install will determine which firmware you need before hand.
Once or if your already sim unlocked, and you pick a Rom out that you'd like to install, I can help.
Are you unlocked? Do you know how to use Odin? How to flash and use twrp?
What firmware are you currently on?

This thread has most of the sprint note 4 stock firmware files and Odin: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/stock-tar-odin-flashable-t3250864
Here are official USB drivers: http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...G_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.45.00.exe
Here is official Twrp 3.02: https://dl.twrp.me/trltespr/twrp-3.0.2-0-trltespr.img.tar.html This is installed from Odin!
Uninstall any Samsung software you have on pc for best results.
Download and install USB drivers to pc.
Download and unzip Odin to pc.
Download twrp.
1st thing I recommend is making a full backup.
So let's install twrp!
1. So put phone in download mode. (Turn off then hold power+vol dwn+home) then it'll prompt you to push vol up.
2. Open odin as admin.
3. Plug phone in pc USB. Odin should recognize phone.
4. In Odin. Click options, unclick auto reboot. Only 'F Reset time's should be checked. Now go back to log tab.
5. Click the AP button. And load the twrp file.
6. Click start. Do not touch pc or phone. Let it be. When the log states all threads completed. Wait 1 minute just to be safe. Unplug phone. Pull out battery. Put back in.
7. Boot into recovery. Press and hold (pwr+vol up+home)
You should now have twrp.
Goto backup and backup all partitions. If your not worried about your installed stuff, you don't need to backup 'data'.
Main thing is (boot,system,efs,modem)
Save this backup somewhere safe.

Part 2. Info!
If your just looking to install stock Rom. All you need is Odin and the stock tar file. But you select auto reboot in Odin.
You only deselect auto reboot when flashing twrp, because it won't stick.
Also once you upgrade to ok1 there is no downgrading.
If your looking to instal custom roms, you should read what firmware they recommend to have before hand. But most of them should work on most current firmware. It just depends.
In general this is what you'll do.
1. Odin the stock firmware you want. Let it boot.
2. Odin twrp.
3. Once you have twrp, flash any Rom you want for your phone.
4. Use a Sprint kernel (Ram) and data fix for international roms.
Edit. Once you upgrade your firmware, it's a good idea to make another backup of it. Especially the EFS.

Help recovering data

So I have a friend who decided to mess with his phone, of course without doing a backup, and now he's stuck in a situation that it can't boot even into recovery.
Currently all I see when booting to recovery:
Recovery Booting. . . . .
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
The phone is G900F
He has no idea what version was installed on it before.
I don't need the phone to boot, I need to recover the files on it.
Being a oneplus person myself, I'm not that familiar with samsung phones (my latest samsung was s2).
I've tried to install with odin (3.0.7 - if that matters) the following recoveries:
official twrp 2.8.7
twrp
cwm
All these recoveries showed "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message as well as the above when trying to boot into recoveries.
I've tried the official recovery as well:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/sm-g900f-stock-recovery-5-0-lollipop-t3228871
which removed the "seandroid" message, but that's all.
Not sure what I'm missing.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hmm...
I see that your friend messed up his phone very well .....
Hopefully the eMMC memory is not corrupted becuase then only motherboard replacement would be necessary.
Summarising what you wrote:
1. you flashed "official recovery 2.8.7" -> where did you get it from? 2.8.7 is the very old version!
2. you flashed unofficial TWRP very old (2014) recovery (I checked your link)
3. you flashed unofficial CWM very old (2014) recovery (I checked your link)
4. finally you flashed stock, from old OS 5.0 Lollipop recovery provided from entrusted source - nobody reported that it works in the thread.
I listed this for you in order to underline one thing - READ, READ, READ, ASK, ASK, ASK .... before flashing anything to the phone and tell it to your friend.
Le's start with flashing from ODIN ver 3.12.7 (I am using it) this version of TWRP:
twrp-3.1.1-0-klte.img.tar for G900F which is the latest official recovery:
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys5qualcomm.html
Read how to flash it with odin method (when you open the link).
Edit: Are you sure the phone is SM-G900F? Please check model number on the label under battery (inside the phone).
Edit2: When you enter odin mode check phone model version as well - it is provided by installed bootloader.

First, thank you for trying to help me!
Please see attachments:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1euC7-CoBeeUQxTGXQnPPgRE2-5VxFXLh
You can see that it is indeed g900f. I've also checked under the battery.
I've flashed the recovery you asked, however I could not find odin 3.12.7 only 3.12.10, so I've flashed with that (the odin thread on xda does not provide a link for 3.12.7 download).
You can see that it's still not booting with that recovery, it's just stuck at "booting recovery" screen.
I'm thinking perhaps it has a bad bootloader? How would you suggest to proceed?

Ok. Let's continue ... I hope (as I had very similar situation) that the phone is not hardbricked and eMMC memory is not corrupted -> I faced this on my phone and finally had to replace motherboard.
But let's be optimistic:
1. For data recovery - I don't have a silver bullet for this but I found this software: http://www.recover-android-iphone.com/recover-android/how-to-recover-data-bricked-samsung.html
It needs working odin mode so under condition that it supports s5 G900F it should be able to restore some data.
2. For unbricking - I recommend to flash via odin the latest official Samsung stock firmware dedicated to your friend's country/region:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5/SM-G900F/
You must be registered to download the software. Link for odin 3.12.7 is available on the bottom of the download page.
Just to underline - odin flash most probably (anybody please confirm that) will wipe your data so be aware of that.
Good luck.

Why a full firmware is needed? Perhaps I can flash only the parts required to get into recovery? I count mount the phone from recovery, that's why it's my priority.
I would like to know also if odin will wipe everything if flashing a full firmware?

Because it is commonly recommended way to unbrick a phone.

Perhaps, yes. But:
1. I don't exactly know what restricts your recovery to run properly. Flashing separate recovery failed.
2. You, for example, could try flashing separately one of the latest bootloaders dedicated to G900F from BL section with odin but I doubt it would help.

As far as I know yes but I am not 100% sure because I didn't try that myself on s5.
I would appreciate if somebody else confirms that.

Can you suggest a bootloader for me? I would like to try that first.

In my opinion, if odin mode works then bootloader should be OK. But as you wish -
tell me first what stock firmware will you later on trying to flash on your friends phone or in which country the phone will be operated.

Latest available Firmware version for Hong Kong is G900FZHS1CQD1 however I can't find a separate flashable bootloader for you.
Generaly, in my opinion you might try any of the latest bootloaders compatible with SM-G900F phone (here you can find a collection: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54094068&postcount=3, I am on G900FXXS1CQI4) but again:
1. I doubt it will help for entering recovery;
2. I still recommend to flash complete stock firmware to unbrick the phone.
However if you anyway decide to try with a bootloader, flash it with odin from BL section (untick auto reboot). Also turn off the phone before and after flashing and pull out battery for about 30 sec. It happens that bootloader doesn't flash properly at once even the odin says "PASS" so some people reported that they needed to repeat flashing a few times. I managed to flash bootloader at first time.
Unfortunateely the phone is not with me anymore, so I won't be able to continue testing. Thank you anyway for trying to help me! I really appreciate your help!

Problems with flashing SM G900A

Hey everyone, after reading about flashing my phone on this site I figured I'd give it a try, but I couldnt get it to work and now I'm having trouble reverting to the stock system.
I've tried reinstalling from the steps at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785363
When trying to write to the phone with oden, the AP fails & the phone says:
Refer 3 > Binary 1
Secure Check Fail : System
(The CP works, and the CSC fails "refer 3 > binary 1, secure check fail : cache")
I've also tried installing other versions of the firmware, and ive tried 3 different cables. All results have been similarly bad
G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar.md5 (failed w/ a similar result, refer 3 > binary 1)
SM-G900A 4.4.2 Firmware (failed w/ a similar result, refer 4 > binary 1)
I'm new to this, so any help either getting my phone back to a stock firmware or getting it on to a different software such as Lineage OS would be greatly appriciated!! Hopefully I havent totally bricked it
Thanks!!!
Looks like you're trying to flash a not-allowed downgrade.
You need a more recent firmware: https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g900aucs4dqd1-odin-update-v6-0-1-t3603897

Galaxy S7 Edge G935F (Exynos) bricked ?

Hello xda Community,
it's me again but this time in the S7 Edge section.
I have a very big problem. I have a Galaxy S7 Edge and I think it's bricked.
The Phone won't turn on and I'm not able to enter the recovery mode but the download mode is working.
I have tried to flash the Oreo Stock Rom but this didn't worked. Moreover I've tried to flash the TWRP recovery but this failed too
I get errors like Kernel Rev check fail device or sw rev check fail Bootloader.
I should mention that the FRP Lock is ON
Please help me guys I thank you all for the ideas
PS: I'm very sorry about my English. I know, it's not perfect :laugh:
Your stock software should match with mobile type .If they are same it wont be a problem..

I did the same thing but i managed to get it working by flashing TRWP again through odin. It would also be better if u copy over a custom rom aswell using the adb push command in terminal because i accidentaly set off DM verity.

My S7 Edge is blocking the flash process with Odin because of the FRP Lock
Thats why I am not able to Flash TWRP

I already said that I'm not able to flash TWRP. The reason is that my phone denies the flash process because of the FRP Lock
you can try https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/how-to-remove-frp-lock-guide-t3855793
I had this exact same problem a month back, I forgot to enable OEM unlock and I faced the same issues.
I downloaded the very latest stock rom at the time, and it was the 1st November security patch version. Try that and let me know.
Go to grifofdev and then ask the admin.He is a helpful person and will solve your problem..
Download the latest oreo firmware from updato, sammobile download speed is ridiculous. The latest at the time solved it for me 100%
