Galaxy S7 Edge G935F (Exynos) bricked ? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

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:

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

Flash twrp and then a custom rom afterwards..

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%

What's "secure download=enabled" in download mode

Hi, I recently flashed lollipop to my galaxy s4 and I want to root it but when I go in download mode, there is a new text in blue saying "secure download=enabled"
Can I still root my phone using Odin and CF auto root with this enabled ? And if not how can I disable it ?

I am not sure but as far as i know you should unlock your bootloader. But like i said i am not sure,if you do more research about this it will be good for you. Sorry for bad English :good:

No need to unlock the bootloader. Secure download was introduced on the Lollipop release and it doesn't act anything on your bootloader, even if you flash insecured file (.tar without .md5) via ODIN.
ive been through thousands of pages of forums and so far this is best answer to this question lol so this secure download enabled will not stop u from flashing causing odin to fail write and if so what will stop it from flashing stock or any rom ?
secure download enabled have one purpose... you CAN'T download (flash) old or low baseband (firmware) to your device... so you can't flash anything old than the one you already have installed.. well not by odin itself.. but you still can flash recoverys if your device support it, and flash any custom rom also..
edit: this not applied to old s5, s4, etc devices.. but s6 and new 2016 devices because the hardware checks

Its not necessary to flash stock, simply reflashing the engboot will suffice, and does not wipe the device.
First of all you wanted to Flash SuperSu.... Did you enable Android Debugging.... Then check OEM Unlock?
If not you messed up there...
Next You need use Odin to flash CF-Root. You are now running a patched Kernel and SuperSU
Use TWRP app to install twrp for your device.
i have the same exact problem, been trying to flash stock firmware but cant get it to work. help please!!!! which firmware? can i get a link please!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, having same issue. Didn't realize you can only make backups with flashfire, not actually flash them back with the program too...
I have the original files I installed with Odin, are one of these the engineering boot file? (BL, AP, CP, CSC?)
Or are you talking about something else...? Thanks!

You flash the engboot file you used to root the device, the one you placed in AP and is around 20 mb in size (not the actual firmware) .

Remove frp lock in rooted soft bricked phones.

SORRY ABOUT MY BAD ENGLISH
I am writing this tread because i recently unlocked the frp lock on my bricked ROOTED samsung galaxy note 5 (SM-N920C). I faced problem in flashing stock firmware as my phone lost drk. And hence i do research and it took about a month to find a solution. I am sharing it here.
Tools i used.
1. Samsung tool pro( cracked version)
2. SM-N920C Combination file:
http://shell.boxwares.com/default.aspx?DeviceModel=SM-N920C&Type=All#fh5co-table
Because i am on nougat firmware the Samsung tool pro doesn't work and at the same time i am not able to down grade the firmware due to frp lock.
3. TWRP RECOVERY
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxynote5.html
PROCEDURE:
1. Flash the combination file in download mode. And wait for the phone to boot. In my case the phone doesn't boot.
Then go to download mode agian and remove frp lock with samsung tool.
2. Flash TWRP.
3. Flash any custome rom from TWRP. :good:
simply go to download mode and flash official firmware
after phone starts go to settings>>developer mode>>enable oem unlock toggle
that's all no frp lock anymore. i wonder why it took you 1 month to figure this out.

Actually, when the phone is under the frp lock. Flashing stock firmware under odin will not work. At least it happened to my n920g. I used the emergency restore through the samsung smart switch app.

Could you change the destination of SM-N920C Combination file, because I can`t download it from your link. Thank you.
Try to rename firmware .tar.md5 to .tar (remove.md5).and flash it via odin .it work

Help with FRP Locked
I need help with this. I have tried several methods, 2 different ODIN versions, several different firmwares...I cannot get out of FRP lock. Please, Please help me.

Flashing firmwares will not undo FRP. No matter how many you flash. Solving the FRP problem lies elsewhere. And to another comment some FRp locked sammys will flash in odin under lock,Others will not. FRP lock is contained in a Partition in the device that is not touched by odin. If flashing orig stock firmware does not boot due to DRK problem then that has to be addressed first. I have not had a Note 5 in a while but This much I do know.

Cant boot, cant eneter recovery after flashing TWRP

hello everyone, my galaxy s8 was on stock rom, it was rooted with odin and super su, i made a mistake....
i installed twrp and wanted to flash it, it said that that it all flashed correctly, when i rebooted the phone it got stuck on the galaxy s8 logo, wont turn off and wont enter recovery mode, only thing i can do is enter download mode.
i tried to do whats written in this topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/stuck-bootloop-flashing-aqg5-fix-t3636857
im not 100% sure of my firmware version, its the one that came out with galaxy s8 when it launched 6.1 or 7.1
so i download the BL file to use it in odin, i tried the 1AQF7 and 1AQG7 also 1AGDG...
nothing helps, whenever i enter download mode and press START on odin with BL file added and straight away after pressing start hold down the volume down, plus bixby plus power i get the writing in odin NAND write start, i can never get beyond that, does that mean no matter how fast i try pressing all 3 buttons down, bixby and power i will never be able to fix the boot? or am i to slow?
can i push the needed file to fix the bootloader with ADB?
what else can i do now? is it anyhow possible to fix the boot, or if not to somehow please recover the data and transfer it to my pc memory? and start from scratch again with the phone as a last solution.
thank you all so much for your help in advance, been trying all day to fix it with odin, but no luck.
when i enter download mode this is written on my screen, maybe it helps:
odin mode
download speed:fast
product name: sm-g950f
current binary: custom
system status: custom
fap lock: off
oem lock: off
secure download: enabled
CCIC=S2MM005 hw: 6 boot 7 main:35
WARRANTY VOID 1 (0x0500)
RP SWREV: B:1 K:1 S:1
DID =0077ce53b1c2
EVT 1.1
LOT_ID=NBV09
rest is chip id etc which i think cant help anything.
thank you all once more

i do not think you will b able to recover or boot back into android but you should be able to flash an official firmware using odin to get your phone up and running again.
you should always back up important stuff on your phone before attempting any flashing
How about using Odin to 'dirty' flash the exact firmware last working on your phone? For "dirty", I meant flashing home_csc which doesn't force a data wipe.

Hello @Leboboy19 ,
Can you try using Odin (newest version ) and flash the original stock rom that you had before messing around with custom rom. make sure to uncheck re-partition. you may have to flash the stock boot and stock recovery .img which you will find on shellbox firmwares.
If that does not work can you try flashing the twrp md5 for that device . let me know

Thanks for your message brother, you reminded me of the tab after giving up on it, after months of trying finally found a fix.
to anyone having this problem:
1. Download your latest stock
2. extract it and swap the recovery.img with a recovery.img from a combination file that matches your binary number
3. Enjoy Your Recovered Tablet or sell it like me:laugh:
