Flashing stock ROM using Odin fails at param.bin - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi,
I know this has been asked a lot but I have looked at countless threads trying to rectify this issue.
I have an S7 Edge (SM-G935F) that at some point black screened itself. After numerous attempts at revival, I have managed to get it to at least display something. From what I'm guessing, something at some point has become corrupted and the phone is now soft-bricked. So what I have been attempting to do is flash stock firmware via odin.
Here is a screen showing it is soft bricked ->

On the soft brick screen I have used the FRP hijacker tool to both "fix" softbrick as well as remove FRP. I don't think either were sucessful. However, the S7 did boot into the "Galaxy S7" splash screen and then to an "erasing" and an "installing update" screen. Both processes failed and boot loop with a message describing the failure ("dm-verity verification failed" and "fail to open recovery_cause"), but it seems like progress.

Also, the phone refuses to boot into the recovery menu, as if its not even there somehow. Instead, the phone boots into the "Galaxy S7" splash screen then the blue screens linked above. Sometimes it boots into the soft brick screen and sometimes into the splash screen. Its difficult to even get it into download mode as it takes a long time (hence the rubber bands to hold the buttons down) and I think the battery is toast.
I have been using Odin 3.14.4 (and 3.13.1) to try and flash stock firmware. What I have been doing is using Frija to download the latest firmware by entering the model number (SM-G935F) and then the country code. However, I do not know which one the phone is. I have done numerous (free) imei checks and one site stated that it was a United Kingdom/Ireland carrier (XEU) (it is a UK phone) but I have tried XEU, BTC, BTU, VIR and VOD and all firmwares fail to flash at the param.bin part. I have also got the PIT file from the XEU CSC_ which sucesssfully flashed, but it made no difference. I've even tried to flash the BL_ by itself to try and get the recovery menu but it still fails at param.bin. I have ruled out that I am using firmware with an older binary as the phone does not display the red text that it normally does when this is attempted. Something to note is that FRP is on, but I do not know if this makes a difference. I should also mention I have tried some firmware from Sammobile which havent worked either.
Here is a screenshot of the param.bin fail using the VIR firmware (after uninstalling the Samsung USB driver just to rule it out)

Im completely stumped now and am in need of advice. I think I have a basic understadning of how Odin works but most of my knowledge has come from attempting to fix this S7. Does the carrier/region even need to match in order for the flash to be sucessful? Does flashing the PIT or BL_ bring back the recovery menu? What are the next steps to fix/flash this S7. Does it seem like there's actually a hardware fault?
I apologise if I dont respond immediately and for the wall of text (I have tried to be thorough). Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

I just wanted to add that trying to flash without attatching BL_ causes it to fail at boot.img

I am having same problem with you. I tried to flash 4-5 firmware but no way. have you found any solution?

Does it show any sign of charging? What happens if you try to flash only CP or CSC? If it consistently fails after a certain number of bytes was transferred, your device could have a broken RAM chip or some other logic board issue, perhaps the flash storage itself is failing.

Make sure you're using the latest version of ODIN, which is 3.13.1 and updated for the Oreo 8.0 firmware

The old SamFirm downloader (v. 0.3.6) is still working.
It's much faster than sammobile without premium account and you can even download as binary...

1. No, you won't, if you install an official ROM.
2. No, but I propose to make a clean install and wipe. (sava data before)
3. CSC is OXA, not BTU. OXA is an international CSC.

OXA is not a CSC, CSC is BTU but also a Multi-CSC so includes many other CSCs, if your phone was originally one of them, such as XEU, it will default to that CSC, otherwise it should flash BTU

1) No
2) No but make a backup of the content of the internal memory just in case anything goes south.
3) If AUT is not in the list of BTU (which is a MULTI-CSC) then you should flash using the BL+AP+CP+CSC (instead of HOME_CSC) and that will factory reset your phone. If AUT is included in the BTU csc list then use the HOME_CSC file instead.

Before flashing, do we have to ACTIVATE PIN in "Secure startup" ???
Flashing with latest odin 3.13.1 I end up stuck on the S7 bootscreen (not even the bootloop). First boot gets into samsung recovery, second reboot just gets stuck on the flash screen.
Also, if I try this and want to return to Android 7, its it possible to downgrade?
Is this global version? i mean if this unlock one? I am from Israel if i am will install it, This will work fine?

Has anyone in North America tried this firmware?
I am having the worst luck as of late- any firmware I have tried to flash since I reverted to vanilla N refused to flash. (vanilla AT&T BRA1 was successful). I am trying to either revert to my normal home ROM (T-M BRA1 or later) or (if possible) the UK Oreo. I am trying to find out why the spate of failures is happening.
Hence my questions.
1. Is this indeed for S7 Snapdragon (as opposed to Exnyos)?
2. If it is for Snapdragon, has anyone been successful?
3. Has there been a problem specifically with T-M N firmware as of late?

S8 SM-G950F I can't flash it

Hello guys.
My s8 sm-g950f was brought to me by my customer whom bought d phone, d customer told me, he mistakenly hard reset his device...Now the device is Requesting for Gmail, he said he had tried the email he think he sign in on d device. now device was now stuck in Activation screen...So i taught of bypass it by flashing combination file and stock rom... so i discovered d device was running lastest update BINARY 2 ...so i download COMBINATION FILE from Z3x server with my z3x box, i downloaded the combination file named(COMBINATION_FA70_G950FXXU2ARE1)
And i also downloaded the Stock Rom i needed from UPDATO named(G950FXXU2CRED)
Now after downloading the two files i needed, i flash the combination file as usual, d device boot and work fine with combination file, then i decided to flash my stock rom back to remove the FRP(how i flash the stock rom to remove d frp was == (i was flashing with z3x) Bl; i deselect some img file. Ap ;i select and flash Boot, recovery, system.. I didnt select Cp, but CSC(i use normal csc not home csc and i selected and flash only cache).
After doing of all this my device boot normal and told my data partition was corrupted , i should reset it, i reseted and i know d frp was still there and have not been removed
Then i started flashing combination and stock rom randomly trying to bypass the frp, trying different things, selecting and deselect when flashing combination and stock rom...all of a sudden was unable to flash anything, when i flash either stock rom/combination it fails instant in INITIALIZATION...
this is an image i took when trying to flash with Z3x lasted vs 33.2

What is the Phone model on the back of ur phone
SM-935what
Is your phone rooted?
Possibilities are that the firmware and your phone are non compatible also send a screenshot of your odin.
You might have the wrong version selected.
Usually if your getting bootloops it's best to flash 1 checkbox at a time.
Make sure the port doesn't say com 3.
Com4 or com7 is OK.
The boxes don't really matter except the boxes u are flashing like the ap cp bl and csc
If your phone is 935fd then it is also compatible with 935f firmware which is more updated latest version is ERG2. Dual sim functuality is the same.

Thanks, my phone is a SM-935FD stock before I tried all of this.
I'm using Com4. In the screenshots I'm trying to flash to older 7.0 firmware.
By one checkbox at a time you mean I can uncheck BL after success right?

Would it be ok to flash to SM-G935F firmware even if my phone is carrier locked?
Thanks

You can flash oreo 935f firmware on a 935fd but your phone will still be locked to smart sim.
The only way to unlock your sim imei would be to pay the company around 150 usd on average usually most companies won't do it because of money and people terminating their contracts early.
You will still be able to call and text from your smart Sim.
Just flash the CSC named SMA after installing if you want the smart branding it's not necessary tho.

Thanks, I'm downloading the 935f oreo version.
Specifically this one: https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=489AC01E8C1E11E89F15FA163EE8F90B
Hopefully it works, will post back here later
Unfortunately it still failed. Anything else I can try?

Thanks! Tried it but mine fails at the AP part I think.
download lastOdin3_v3.13.1
Fixed this. It was a USB cable issue.
What did you have to do?

Hey
I have a similar issue. The process starts and then just freezes, always in the same spot. I haven't even gotten through the BL file yet. At this point I don't mind if I have to completely wipe the phone and start over, I just want it to boot again.
I've tried with 2 different cables, though neither is an "original" cable as that one broke ages ago. Any tips?

Hi there
Do you know what cable you used? I am using a mixture of original Samsung cables but not sure if they are for the galaxy s7, probably S5 days.

Odin3 v3.14 Complete(Write) operation failed

A few days ago my S7 Edge was acting up and didn't want to launch some of my apps. I decided to reboot the phone. However, the phone got stuck at the black screen with the white Samsung writing/logo on it. After trying to force reboot it I dot an error stating that there was a problem with FRP. I googled and found a tutorial on using Odin3 together with files from Sammobile.
In the tutorial I found they only updated the AP and this worked on my device as well. However once again it got stuck in the boot, in the encoding stage. I then tried to update all the files BL, AP, CP and CSC. This however does not work. I first tried with the "New model" of downloading in parallel but now am trying to download one file at a time.
I put the device in download mode and start the BL stage. This starts off OK and I can see the bar moving on both the device and the laptop, but when it reaches param.bin it stops. After a while I get "Complete(Write) operation failed".
I have tried this multiple times, hoping that putting the device into download mode again might work, or using a different file version from Sammobile. I've also tried 2 different cables, none of which are original Samsung cables as that broke a long time ago.
Please can anyone help?

Hello There!
I hope this helps even if its late
Firstly Download a Firmware here
To download the right firmware, you should check on the build number, A build number should look like this: G935FXXU1DPLT(the 9th digit here is 1), The 9th digit is the Bootloader Version. Download a firmware that has a 8 in the 9th digit on the build number.
Finally flash it using odin
(Quick tip: After Unzipping the firmware zip file, you will see 5 files (AP, BL, CP, CSC, HOME CSC) DONT CHOOSE CSC, CHOOSE HOME CSC, remove the .md5 at AP, BL CP, AND HOME CSC by renaming it, a window will say that the file type will be changed, just press ok. After renaming the 4 files, putting it on odin will just take you 2 secs)

Phone started boot looping - Can I fix a VZW Galaxy S7 on latest OTA update?

I used to flash phones a lot but our carrier is VZW so our phones have been locked for years and my skills are rusty
The phone is my wife's. It's stock on:
Release date: 04/03/2020
Androidâ„¢ Security Patch Level: December 2019
Software Version: R16NW.G930VVRSBCTC1
The phone is bootlooping (I've already replaced it with a Pixel 4a) and I'm hoping to rescue it to use as a backup phone.
I downloaded this from Updato:
GALAXY S7 / SM-G930V
8.0.0 Oreo(Android ) /

Thanks for any advice - just trying to get the phone up and running stock
You're trying to flash firmware with Bootloader 9, but your current Bootloader is 11 (means you got last software upgrade and there's no chance to downgrade Bootloader)... This topic is discussed already several times. Wait for new exploit (if this someday will appear) for root for Bootloader 11

Hi - thanks for the reply - now I know what to read up on and that this phone is probably not going to see action again.
My hunch is that if it suddenly started doing this when nothing new has been installed for over a year that it's a hardware issue anyway.

Then seems that your phone was arrived to you with latest firmware pre installed... But it's definitely an firmware issue, I have the same now in my hands , so I'm also waiting for the root.
P.S.
What's your issue??? I mean, why you want to downgrade???
