G935X - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

i have a G935X and im trying to flash a stock tar on it. (live demo unit, before you ask, i obtained it legitimately from the retailer i worked for at the time)
ive tried MANY G935F tar.md5s on it, and many of them pass in Odin, but none of them boot to the OS. Stock recovery will boot just fine and it will charge, but no OS boot. The most recent tar i was able to get to pass in odin was an 8.0 version, but still wont boot to the OS. IT just goes to the splash screen and stays there. Any ideas?
nvm, got it working. I flashed TWRP 3.2.3 and an Oreo based ROM and it booted right up. Issue resolved

Arg, possible brick but can get into download mode and connect with Odin

I did something stupid and flashed this Bootloader with odin on my Sprint GS5 US G900P. After the flash seemed to go ok it just re-boots and stays on the Sprint Logo. I can Vol up and down to get to recovery and Download mode but I'm not sure what I should be re-flashing to get my phone to boot up again?
Can someone help please?
I re-flashed my boot to NE5 Galaxy_S5_spr_Stock.Kernel_NE5.tar from here here. Now it gets past the logos and starts to load but freezes the little google loading animation and then goes to screen black
try this
as you can enter download mode
just flash stock firmware
before boot phone go to recovery mode (after flash)
wipe all
wipe data factory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot
Thanks for the suggestion AEkiz. I couldn't find a stock firmware. Links seemed to be dead around here and I couln't find it on the Samsung site.
However this has semi-worked for me:
I flashed 5.0 imgae SM-G900P_OA6_FullRestore.exe
Install seemed to work just fine.
Then I reinstalled my Backup of (Mystery build) 4.4.2
Installed Galaxy_S5_spr_Stock.Kernel_NK4.zip form the file All_Kernels_thru_OA6.zip via Odin
Then my device just booted!
But there are some issues:
1. My device still says it's running OA6 even though I flashed NK4. Oddly enough it WAS on NE5 in the first place but when I tried to flash and NE5 firmware it got stuck on the Google logo. now I'm just confused on all these Nxx versions.
2. My fingerprint scanner is now dead.
3. My camera has a bunch of funky artifacts so I can't really use it anymore.

SGS 900i wont boot after flashing - I'm stuck

I've been trying to *fix* my phone for the past 10 hours and not having much luck. I have tried to flash stock 6.0 ROMs using the TWRP and it fails (not sure why).
I flashed a 6.0 ROM, which didn't include the bootloader and modem and the phone was stuck at the SAMSUNG logo.
I then flashed a stock 6.0 ROM using ODIN from this link: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/87542/G900IDVU1CPG2_G900IXSA1CPG2_XSA/
After waiting about 15 minutes, the phone went beyond the SAMSUNG logo and displayed that the apps were initialising. It then went back to the SAMSUNG logo.
I used odin to flash the bootloader and modem found from another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/s5-g900i-marshmallow-bootloader-modem-t3382754
I've since flashed TWRP again, done a wipe / factory reset and then flashed the ROM again from sammobile (which includes the recovery) so I then immediately flashed the TWRP again.
What am I doing wrong here? Why wont the phone go past the SAMSUNG logo?
Before leaving the office I done the flashing again and halfway home in the car the phone booted fine as normal.
No ideas what happened before. I effing hate this phone.

Stuck on splash screen and TWRP broken after installing Renovate Ice

Hi, I had been using BatMan rom for a few months, then wanted to try renovate ice, so I flashed it via TWRP, and now when I boot my phone is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S8 splash/boot screen. I can no longer boot into TWRP. I can't use my phone at all, I can only boot into download mode. I then tried flashing a new version of the bootloader, and now I can't even flash TWRP via Odin. fastboot devices doesn't return anything when my phone is plugged in and in download mode.
What can I do to fix this?
Please let me know if you need additional information to help me solve this.

I face the same issue on Renovate ice 5.0 too. Stuck on splash screen, but i am coming from stock rom. Also have download and installed AQH3 firmware through TWRP.
I did not do bootloader update from Odin, and my twrp is still working.
Did it work for you after install twrp from scratch?
Okay, so I had to do the work around for odin, where you go into download mode after flashing and then flash again and I got TWRP installed and then installed renovate ice and it worked.

Note 3 SM-N9005, Can't Boot to recovery.

My N9005 is unable to boot into recovery, whenever i try it will start to boot and then just restart itself.
When trying to reboot normally the cyanogenmod loading screen is very laggy and it just reboots after a while.
occasionally it will start normally (1/20 tries).
I tried to reflash twrp with odin but it makes no difference.
Cyanogenmod version 12.1-20161016-NIGHTLY-hlte.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Flash stock rom via Odin to get a working phone.
Or restore your Nandroid.
Reflashed stock rom and phone was working perfectly. stock recovery was also working.
Then rooted with CF-autoroot and it went well.
Then i tried to install TWRP custom recovery and it still won't let me boot to recovery.
Android version is 5.0 if that matters?
Edit: Managed to make it work with another version
Did you find a solution? I have thee same issue
Thanks
HELP with n9005 custom recovery
HI i have the same problem with n9005 i have rooted but whenever i flash twrp or cwm i end up with no recovery..phone shows set warranty but recovery msg then reboot to system...any help?
CWM no longer used .
You are probably flashing the wrong TWRP .
No i have verified the info and I have the correct twrp but still can't get it to run
same here
good evening everyone,
I come back to this forum because I have this beautiful phone that I can not update the android version 9.
On the recovery I can not go beyond the version 2.8.7.0, if I try to put a more recent version it remains in bootloop even if I restart manually.
To know that I have the HTLE model, the only thing is that I replaced the screen with a Chinese model.
then I put the original version back via odin and it goes back to version 5.
I am completely desapointed, I do not know what to do to put it under android 8+ !!!!
PLEASE HELP

please help, n920C twrp flash boot hangs

I tried flashing this N920C (turkish) device with several version of TWRP and can't get it to boot.
I've tried twrp-3.3.1-0-noblelte version, and then read that someone also had boot loops and to try the twrp-3.3.1-0-nobleltezt version for the N920C
still no joy, I've also tried older version 3.0.0 nobleltezt, stilll bricked. boot hangs on the Samsung fading in and out.
Currently downloading what I hope is the correct stock firmware from sammobile to extract a hopefully working recovery from there.
Any ideas what is a known working twrp for this device?
Thankfully the device was easily recovered using ODIN with N920CXXU5CRL3_N920COJV4CRB3_N920CXXU5CRL1_HOME.tar.md5 downloaded from https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-5/firmware/#SM-N920C
I'd like to know what twrp or other recovery I can use with this device?
