Hi I installed the OTA Oreo update pushed from Bell and it bootlooped my phone -.- . What are my options to fix this? Ive already wiped cache and factory reset. Is there a stock image I can flash? I can only find images for F variants not for 950W. Also what would be the safest flashing method?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Ok so I'd like to put AllianceROM on my international version SM-G900F H3G UK model.
To do so, my plan is to downgrade lollipop to 4.4.2 stock, root with TowelRoot, then install the ROM through Mobile Odin Pro (to preserve the KNOX counter). I've just tried to flash 4.4.2 onto the phone, but I cannot get it to start at all after it's flashed. The phone just hangs on the Three (H3G) boot animation.
I'm hoping that I've just got confused with the Sammobile site and that I've just flashed the wrong 4.4.2 firmware (so far tried flashing ANG2 and ANE2). Something I should have checked earlier but I just thought they were updated versions of the same ROM).
If I can't successfully boot into 4.4.2, I'd like to try flashing lollipop to retrieve some files I forgot to backup (another silly mistake). I'm not sure whether I can take files off it through the ADB sideload or whatever but if I have to lose all my data then I'm not too bothered.
What's the best way to go about my situation?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Right, thanks man. After flashing lollipop, I can now boot up and back up stuff. I'll flash 4.2.2 again and factory reset.
Hi guys,
so flashed a stock note 3 rom for EE in the UK to remove the effects of the root and custom rom I had.
Flashed via odin, all went ok.
Went to update OTA to more recent version and it says system has been modified. Sure enough under settings/about device/status it says "custom"
my question is, is there a way to change that to official so i can receive OTA updates?
ive googled and seen a few solutions that didn't work.
I tried removing SD card, reboot and wipe cache - didnt work.
Also tried using xposed, tells me im not rooted so cant do anything
Finally tried SuperSU unroot option, told me again, not rooted.
Any help please!!

Just boot into twrp and wipe everything. Done.
If you want to factory reset your phone, download a stock firmware from updato.com.
Download the latest Odin.
Flash the stock firmware & profit.
Hi guys,
Well it all started when i wanted to root my s8 (SM-g950f) running on android 7.0. It went well until i had to login into my snapchat account, some dumb dude recommanded root-switch, which ended up by deleting my root.
Somehow i had the bright idea of restarting my phone, it didn't start afterwards.
I had to flash the ROM, so I went for the OREO version G950FXXU1CRB7_G950FOXM1CRAP_XEF that i got from sammobile for France (I actually live in Morocco but i've bought my phone from France).
Using Odin PrinceComsy and uncompressing the lz4 files and copressing them again in a .tar extension, i've got a PASS in Odin but the phone entered a bootloop. I went for a little research which ended up by wiping cache and a factory reset solution. First i couldn't access the recovery mode, so i did a flash with twrp-3.2.1-0-dreamlte and a little magic trick (have a fail on purpose to go quickly to recovery mode).
Sadly neither the wipe cache nor the factory reset made an end for the bootloop and my misery
If you got any help for me I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Resolved Edit :
So I finally got my phone back on. This after i had tryed flashing it with 3 different versions of Android oreo 8.0. And finally, i went back for the nougat easily. I think the source of the problem is the procedure of uncompressing the lz4 files, cause any modifications of the files can end up badly for the flash. Cheers !

If it were me I would start from the top and flash:
G950FXXU1AQL5_G950FUWE1AQL5_UNE.zip
with Odin 3.12.3
Then flash twrp-3.2.1-0-dreamlte.img.tar
Then flash Magisk-v15.2.zip
I have the G950F and that is exactly what I have used for Android Nougat (not upgrading to Oreo for now).

Totally up to you. Sounds like there maybe are some things to get worked out with Oreo maybe. If not then go for it
Hey, i have a s7 edge that i attempted to root but bricked instead, it booted to the Verification failed, please factory reset screen. I tap Reset and it goes to TWRP. So i wiped System,data,cache,internal storage thinking it would work but i messed up the whole thing!!
I tried flashing the stock firmware via odin but it always fails on 'sboot.bin'. I don't know what to do. Please help. Smart switch doesn't detect the phone.....
edit: i have just found that sboot.bin fails because of a outdated bootloader? would downloading the latest firmware from sammobile work?? i really need the phone working as quick as i can

Yea it could be the issue ,as u can't downgrade bootloader only update it with newer version.
Also if that doesn't help but hopefully will ,try nand erase and repit too.
