S7 randomly crashed And hard bricked, “custom binary blocked by FRP Lock” - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Phone randomly died after a few days of crashes and cache wipes. Was a preowned phone so maybe old owners have been messing with it? No button combos work, no led flashes however does heat up when charging. Is there anything I can do?

I am facing the same Issue on my Note 5 (SM-N920G), Please help. I also get "DRK missing, Please Install DRK". Tries many things including flashing the combination files and also without cache.img

Verizon Lg g2 stuck in bootloop

So for a few weeks now, my phone has been having bootloop issues. I've been trying to fix it on my own, but no luck so far.
I can get it into download mode. Up until I tried to restore it to its stock version via the User Tool, I could get it to the factory reset options, which led to the options to wipe cache, reboot, etc. However, none of those options worked. When I attempted to reset to factory settings, I got the "dead" green android with the red triangle. Then the screen goes black and starts bootlooping again.
Once in awhile I can manage to turn it on after having it turned off for hours, or even days and it works like normal, except that if I lock it or turn it off it will end up restarting and starting to bootloop again. Which is bad seeing as it drains somewhat fast due to being overheated while having the screen constantly on.
As for my experience trying to use update recovery, it gets to the downloading part then stops and gives me this message "[011.700.147.062.092]??? ??? ? ? ????". I don't even know if I am using the correct stock rom for my phone, since I only know its MEID and model name.
do u resolved this, i have the same problem

S7 Edge crashes and reboots at Samsung logo, hardware or not? [All Stock]

Im so lost with this, im all stock but one day my phone just freezes then bootloop, I would be able to get it work by just leaving it and let it drain itself since it will be boot looping and lock me out completely, like the power button + low volume button would not work even after 10 minutes of holding it, would not boot to download or recovery mode, just the soft touch keys light on and the blue LED.
I reflashed my ROM from sammobile yesterday but did it half-effort, just dirty flashed it but it seemed to reformatted my phone anyway, after reflashing it, everything seemed to work properly for 20 hours and then now im back to this piece of ********* boot looping...
S7 Edge
running the Australia unbranded XSA-G935FXXS1DQG4 from the branded G935FXXS1DQG5,
would flashing de-branded affect this? or this is hardware?, one thing I did that I think was a mistake is that I chose to restore from old device, can apps cause this?
the very first time this happened, I plugged it in to charge then crash and bootloop.
UPDATE:
Things I've tried,
-Booting with NO sim card and SD Card
-Wiping cache and partition then reflashing stock XSA and OPS firmwares
im convinced that this is a hardware issue and will go to Samsung.
mine does this too. crashes then gets into a bootloop at the Samsung logo. I usually try holding the lock and volume down button. I factory reset the phone once but it still keeps happening, this started happening around 4 weeks ago
Guys your Main/Mother-boards are broken.. u need to replace it, or send back to Samsung..
Damn! Crash reboot samsung logo
Damn you say broken mother board...
did this. Press vol down, power button and home key...hmmm... i think...pressed so many combos hard to tell themapart

S7 EDGE bricked or hardware failure?

My S7 edge had been acting weirdly for a few weeks, things like random restarts once a few days so I didn't pay much attention and over excessively heating up to 50/55 degrees (I usually checked the temperature through CPU_Z), and just a few hours ago I ran into problems like the phone restarting on its own, never getting past the samsung logo on boot, so I did the normal thing everyone else would do and just factory reset the device through recovery mode, a point to add here the device took an absolute age to load into recovery mode, this wasn't a case of bad key combination or anything like that, the device would load this the dmverity tree hash verification thing and sit there for a good 2-3 mins which is unusual, same thing happens with factory reset takes an absolute age and comes back with the following text-:
"E: format_volume: make ext4 failed on /dev/block/platform/155a0000.ufs/by-name/USERDATA with 1(I/O error)
-- Set Factory Reset done...
Data wipe failed."
booting up the device in this state would show up with an error "Device storage corrupt" with a " reset device" button in the bottom of the screen which didn't respond to any touches which was weird as well because holding the power button and then selecting the power off option worked with no issues so it wasn't an issue with the touchscreen.
searching for a solution on google led me to flash a official firmware that I downloaded from updato, just a heads up my device has never been tampered with or had any kind of software modifications this includes flashing any roms or even official firmwares before, so I download the firmware and flashed it as usual this is the firmware that I flashed through odin 3.12.3 firmware version was G935FOJV1DQAV also my device model is SM-G935FD while the firmware I flashed was for SM-G935F but this shouldn't be an issue because when I usually got updates over the air on the device they would be for SM-G935F so if there were any issues with this they should have popped up a long time ago, so everything went smoothly and the phone booted up again as usual, did the initial setup and adding accounts, recovery everything, hooked up the charger and left the phone to download all the necessary stuff through samsung and google cloud recovery, comeback after a few minutes to find that the device just wouldn't respond to the power button or the home button to wake the device up but the led on the phone was flashing in blue color which means I did receive some notifications, so I hard reset the phone by holding down power+volume down key, same issues pop up like before the firmware I flashed getting stuck on the boot samsung logo, went back to recovery to do another factory reset again it keeps freezing on the dm-verity tree hash thing, but this time the factory reset happens properly with no errors, but the device doesn't boot up at all, gets stuck on the samsung logo and the led on top starts flashing in several different colors, just like when you boot up a brand new S7 edge.
As a last ditch effort I try initializing the device through smart switch, everything goes normally but when the flashing process starts it gets stuck on 7% indefinitely, tried everything else but to no avail, tried flashing through odin again but it gets stuck on the same point as smart switch, tried installing the firmware in parts through odin again gets stuck on the same point when flashing AP but other parts get installed without any problems, download mode boots up fine, recovery mode now boots up very slowly with a dm-verity error "E:failed to mount / system (invalid argument).
I have 1 month warranty left on my S7 edge from where I purchased it, I want to send it back for a refund or a replacement but the only thing thats kind of worrying me is that in download mode the knox switch hasn't been tripped still shows 0 (0*000), but shows system status as custom, will this effect my warranty claim if they check my device?

Having the same issue. anyone help? did you manage to solve this issue?

N910F Boot loop

Hi
I am stuck with Pulsing blue LED and the "Powered by Android" screen,
have access to both the recovery and the download Mode,
I also have Odin (version 3.13) on my computer along with TWRP (3.1.1 trlte and 3.2.1 version)
My device is a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910F bought in shop, no special carrier. It was bought in the Netherlands.
I have tried everything that I have read. The furthest that I can go is the Second Samsung Logo with the Flashing Light
Whenever I try to Flash the stock Firmware for my N910F, everything goes well in Odin but then when the phone reboots, it (sometimes) install the system update until 30% then shows erasing then either crashes right there and then or load the system update bar, completes it then shuts down.
I have tried multiple firmwares, even recovery firmwares. All the same problem. I can see the firmware is flashed, because when I enter recovery mode after I flashed a different ROM, it shows the version I flashed.
I cannot seem to install TWRP because it was never rooted.
Whatever I do, at some point, my phone either gets stuck in a bootloop, freezes with the LED light or shuts down.
And I have also proceeded to use different batteries.
Do you have any options?
Thank you
Heat????
I'm far from an expert here, but I've just experienced a similar problem where my N910F started boot looping / freezing within 15s to 2 min after unlocking. Unfortunately my micro Sd (SanDisk 256GB) was corrupted a week ago, so before doing anything else I did some research (XDA/YouTube) and probably found pretty much what you've found. I frequently change batteries so I could discount that as an issue. Someone suggested using the Samsung Smart switch here https://www.samsung.com/uk/getting-started/smart-switch/, but I haven't used it (yet) so I can't tell. I presume you had the latest firmware from Sams https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note4/SM-N910F/.
My issue was that I needed to recover data, docs, photos, phone numbers etc. When boot looping the note 4 got very hot . In particular around and to the left of the camera (looking at the rear). Thinking it could possibly be the dreaded eMMC problem which also manifests itself by creating heat, I thought cooling the device might help. I placed the Note on a cooler box freezing block and voilà! No boot loop. I was able to remove all, but necessary apps and do a full copy to my PC. Storage was reduced from around 90% to 50% and memory 80% to 60%. It's now been stable for 12 hours, but the jury is still out. Next will be full reset with he latest available firmware 6.0.1 as mine was still on 5.1.1.
Good luck and hope this may be of some help.
I've got this problem, too, when using the unofficial Lineage 15.1 rom. SIM death and boot loop. After flashing the latest stock rom through odin, it passed but the screen was black and no system was installed. The blue notification light was constantly stuttering, though. And I couldn't even go to recovery!
When flashing, a 910F can get hot - use a cool temperature room and/or a fan blowing onto the device.
If it's not too late...

S7 EDGE Black screen of Death BSOD

Hello everyone, this has been a major problem for many so i hope to gather all the developers to find a common solution to when the phone wont turn on or go to recovery or download mode. I am having this issue and odin doesnt help. Ive even erased and repartitioned my entire nand and am still faced with this issue. If anyone can help us all please respond. I have PIT files for odin if anyone would like them. Lets solve this very common problem together.
This next part is what Ive done in case anyone wants to help me specifically
I have the s7 edge tmobile snapdragon variant, So i got the BSOD on my device and was led to factory resetting it from the recovery menu. Later it seemed to not to boot into the recovery menu unless placed in very cold temperatures . I re flashed the os in odin and it almost booted up and my computer recognized it then it went back into a bootloop again. I erased my nand and re partitioned it with a pit file, this didnt work either. Now im left with a brick seemingly caused by samsung itself.
