Since the update i keep getting a lot of random restarts, i was hoping there maybe an easy way to just reinstall the android 10 update and not have to wipe?
After all it just updates when you get it OTA so i am guessing i can maybe just run that update again in some way?
Can anyone help
thanks
James
Yes. All you must do is to create a Samsung Account and backup everything before wipe out. Once you get wiped, just restore using your Samsung Account.
Also, there are many good apps that you can do it without create an account, although I would create it and backup if I were you.
Cheers
You could also use frija and odin to download and install the latest update, however this is the whole software about 5gb.
You just use home_csc which does not wipe data.

Thanks, this sounds what i would probably want, would this be the closest thing to just doing a reinstall in the hope that it may overwrite some bad data that may be making my phone randomly restart?
Is this above basically the same as when you get the OTA and it just installs over the top without losing anything, i'd be best clearing cache after wouldn't I?

Yes add the others to the respective fields in odin.
One thing i did notice, i think the second on the list in odin when i added it, odin seem to stop responding, dont panic about that just leave it for a minute and it will come good.
Remember to uncheck re-partition.
Thank you

So I updated to G900VVRU2DPF4 and my phone was working fine until when I rebooted one of these times. Now I am getting 'Unfortunatly Sytem UI has stopped.' so I hit ok then the sreen goes blank with my homescreen wallpaper (and starts blinking from black to the wallpaper Except when I hit the lock button then It locks) and I can't do a thing. I recently turned off ADB on the phone so I can't do nothing there and I tried clear cache that did not work. I read that I need to erase the data on the system ui under setting, apps... but I can't even get into setting. I DO NOT WANT TO FACTORY RESET THE PHONE and erase all my files. There must be a way to fix it. I tried remote controlling via wifi (like with google's device manger and Samsung findmyphone) but now the phone won't connect to wifi for some reason it won't turn on. I am trying to sideload Samsung Good Lock because that might fix it also but I can't. I need help big time. When I connect it the the computer it kinda read it but I can't get files off the phone but it shows up and Unassuming Kies/Smart Switch does not work either. There must be a fix without loosing data. Help Please? :'-(
P.S. I tried adb sideload the PF4 updated in recovery and that did not fix it.

No I am not. Fully stocked. I had good lock installed before but I turned on finger unlock and good lock did not support finger unlock so it uninstalled.
I am kinda waiting also on sammobile to post the latest firmware. Since I heard you can update &/or reinstall the firmware without loading files like apps and stuff. (excpet if you are not on official stock) But I still would like some help.

Ok! Yeah my friend had a brick issue like a soft brick. And he was on stock also so he downloaded his firmware and installed it... It did not wipe his. I hope it doesn't wipe mine. My only problem is that I have fast internet but since I don't have a premium account on sammobile it will take 2 hours that why I was asking about SamFirm tool.

SamFirm ONLY allows to download the latest firmware (which is PF4), and we need PD1 :good:
If you were rooted we could have just done an "adb shell" into your phone and gotten all the data off, or simply use the built-in File Manager of Safestrap or TWRP.

I have PD1 I was trying to get PF4 with SamFirm but it downloaded PD1 so I was confused. That's all. I know about that was rooted while back once before but I messed things up so I unrooted.
So can use that one?

Hi Guys I was one of you for a long time then drifted to the darkside with apple. I am back but so much has changed and I want to ensure that I dont goose up.
I have a SM G935F S7 edge
I have contacted my provider and recieved sim unlock code. Placed alternative sim in phone and entered the code and it returned sim unlock. (its a pay as you go sim i used to unlock with no credit so I cant test I can make a call)
I am torn between rooting and not because of my banking app with Barclays, but on the advice of others I would like to try a stock samsung rom without all the bloatware.
I have sith super backup backed up my contacts apps call logs and sms messages and saved them to google drive.
So have I dont all i need before flashing and if so which stock rom can I use. do I simply use the most recent BTU from smmobile for my country or is there a better way to select the rom I should install.
Look forward to your answers but if anyone has Barclays app working on root let me know then I will just take the plunge I care not about the warranty as I have alternative insurance which wouldnt care.
Thanks again in advance
One of the reasons I haven't rooted is for the same reason as you. Barclays are a real pain in the arse to rooted customers. I have tried everything to get around this but nothing can. The only other option is logging in via the website but every so often this requries a card reader so it can be a pain in the arse.
Anyway, to answer your question, you seem to have covered anything. BTU is probably your best option if you would like stock samsung with less bloat. Although, I believe you will not receive any OTA updates and would have to update manually when updates become available.

BTU is UK unbranded.
Download this: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/116121/G935FXXU1BPLB_G935FBTU1BPK3_BTU/ this is the latest
Also download odin 3.11.1 the link is just below the details on the download page.
once everything has finished downloading, backup important data on your phone and put your phone into download mode, unzip the Rom file, there will be 5 files inside, delete CSC_HOME (you don't need it), Flash BL, CP, CSC and AP all with odin, but in odin settings, select Re-partition, F.reset time, Auto-Reboot, then start, the CSC file contains a PIT file which will wipe your phone.
Here is my thread on Sammobile confirming the flash: https://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34984
I did the same with my S7 Edge to debrand it, I can confirm the Barclays app still works as its Samsung official software it doesn't trip knox, although I'm fed up now of waiting 6 months for android 7 I'm thinking of just going to a custom rom, i'll just use the browsers to goto Barclays.
The only way the Barclays app wont work is if you have ever flashed a custom recovery, rom, or rooted which all trip the knox counter to 0x1

Doesn't really matter to be honest, just means you loose a bit of space as the BTU firmware file is one of the smallest out of the lot due to the lack of bloatware, repartition would have given you this space as user storage, but its not much to be fair.

Still think I might redo it when finished. the reason being is I let samsung reinstall stuf where I feel I should just have loaded super backup on my device then restored that way.
Plus I stupidly said yes to microsoft stuff beacause I need outlook but I dont need all the other crap.

Hi, I might have messed up.
Took backup of all media, except that I'd forgotten that I also had a lot of photos saved as mms, directly in the messages. I'd also like to keep some of the messages, from my grandparents etc.

https://download.chainfire.eu/930/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hero2lte-hero2ltexx-smg935f.zip
I used Odin 3.12.3. Loaded the tar-file in AP.
Com + text comes up as good.
Started, and it came up as passed in a matter of seconds.
Phone turns off after a little while, and turn on again.
It won't go past the Samsung-logo when I power it on.
Safe-mode doesn't work, but it will go to download mode. I've tried wiping the cache, didn't help.
I might be mistaken, but could it be possible to flash stock rom from Odin, using this firmware: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935F/NEE/download/G935FXXU1DQJ2/193815/
It does look like it according to https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583588 and https://android.stackexchange.com/q...flashing-stock-rom-via-odin-delete-phone-data
If this isn't the case. Is it possible to install a recovery-program with Odin, even though the phone is "stuck"?
I've heard some people say it *might* be possible.
All the best, and thanks for any input
Chris
Well, I advice you to wait for second opinion, but I was in the same situation, for the exception I knew my current firmware details, re-downloaded the same firmware from sammobile and flash it with ODIN. Whatever firmware you flash, you must use HOME_CSC which is included in the zip package, not the "pure" CSC. Saying it again, it helped me, but I knew my current CSC (changing CSC triggers factory reset AFAIK) and factory reset wasn't made, so you should wait for second opinion before attempting anything. Good luck

You should have a folder with BL, AP, CP and CSC. Try redownloading the firmware from another site like sammobile
I recovered some pics with an app. Maybe this is also a solution if you need to do a full wipe.

Correct, it will not flash, just tried it.
I flashed it on via SD update this morning, to early to tell on the battery, but the fingerprint is amazing. So much faster and has not missed once for me. (did not need to re-register). No night mode on the camera though so thats a bummer.
What's this update bring?
Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
It's only 184MB. Probably just a security patch and minor bug/performance fixes.
Unfortunately the screen shot didn't save but have been experiencing some weird screen problems. Kinda hard to explain but it's like the screen black out but the apps and everything else turn like a neo color super weird wished the pics saved.

I'm going from ASD3 to ASD7 and after the SD update my phone rebooted and is stuck on the Starting Android screen. I'm not sure how long it should take but it has been going for more than 20 mins now... What should I do?
I flashed from ASD3 as well, a couple days ago. Had no issues and haven't had any weird screen problems either. Peanut, try another manual reboot. If it doesn't start after that, maybe try wiping your cache? Worst case, you might have to factory reset.
While we are on the subject of ASD7, is there a way I can flash the update.zip file an not lose my data ?
Flashing it doesn't wipe anything, but you can always backup before as a precaution. I've never had any issues flashing updates like this. Not sure if it helps, but I always wipe cache, before flashing the update.

While that's true for *most* carriers, ATT phones wipe when side loading updates. If your phone has an att logo at boot up, any update.zip file flashed via recovery or adb WILL wipe the device.
Didn't know that about ATT. I was with Nextel/Sprint for almost 20yrs and recently switched to Xfinity, but good to know.
You can Never get AT&T firmware from SamFirm. Always have to Odin TMB or Sprint and use Home CSC. If you know of place to Download ATT firmware let me know Please.

What version of Odin are you using, and what firmware are you trying to flash?
Have you tried a different USB cable?
Generally flashing Samsung devices works pretty much the same. If you're returning to stock from a custom ROM or otherwise want to wipe data, use the CSC_xxxxx instead of HOME_CSC_xxxxx file in the CSC slot. Data doesn't mix and match well, so if you didn't wipe after coming from a custom ROM or other firmware, that could be the reason for the instability.

I've tried several ODIN versions. 3.12,3.13, 3.14, 2 different modified versions and it seems to be the same.
I have tried 3 different cables, no change.
I have tried using the normal CSC and HOME_CSC but I still return errors.
I can flash the combination firmware and the stock MM rom listed in the original post but no matter what other post I try to follow I can not get any to take. How can I get rid of this combination firmware and return to stock completely?

I can flash the combination firmware and the stock MM rom listed in the original post but no matter what other post I try to follow I can not get any to take. How can I get rid of this combination firmware and return to stock completely?

I think what you need to do is re-partition the device using the factory PIT file that's located in the CSC package. In the Odin options tab, check the NAND Erase and Re-Partition boxes, then in the PIT tab, select the PIT file you extracted from the CSC_xxxx.tar
DO NOT check Re-Partition without using the PIT file. Make sure you're using the correct firmware for your device as this could result in a brick.

Where should I get the PIT file from? Any particular site/rom file?

As I stated above, it should be in the CSC file.
Well, after many many hours of trying what seems like countless roms/files I have finally got it back to stock Oreo but the lag and stability is horrible. It is pretty much unusable, music apps crash/stutter, Playstore takes about 3 minutes to start up and can't even be scrolled through, returning to the home screen takes about 2 minutes as you watch each and every element load in one at a time including the wallpaper. I think the phone is trash now? I'm on B/11 (G935VVRSBCTC1) if that helps with any suggestions.

did you flash stock with odin?
Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I got the rom from samfw and flashed with Odin. Then I tried using Smart switch to update it and it was all successful but the phone is still fairly jittery. It's not as bad as it was on the combo rom but music apps still stutter and the system overall is pretty laggy.
Side note: The phone ran like new prior to flashing the combo rom.

You need to extract the pit file from the stock firmware regular CSC file and load it in the pit tab in odin along with the other files and you need to flash regular CSC not home CSC

I did. I'll try it again Monday and see if it makes any difference. I appreciate the help.

it sounds like you didnt wipe data so reboot too stock recovery and wipe data
I think it's running about as good as it's going to. I reflashed the stock Oreo firmware and extracted the pit, nand erase, re-partitioned, wiped data /cache. Still a bit jittery but it'll do. Just need it to play music while at work.
Thanks for the advice.
