Red text of deth? Samsung S 7

Hi Pascal

Have you found any solution on this problem?

My history

I got the exact same issue. After about a week, the phone went black. Nothing would wake it up except power+Vol down. It failed to boot several times (just looped). After several tries get into boot menu. It showed mr Android with a big exlamation over it. I cleared the cashe and it rebooted, but after some minutes it crashed and restarted. After a normal boot, it worked fine the rest of the day.

When I woke up the next day, it had drained all battery. I charged it to 100% before I started it, and it crashed during boot, then some boot loops and after clearing the cache and reboot the red text appear. I had to wait (a long time) to drain the battery. Now it hanged during the first bootup. After 3 times It booted normally, but while updating apps, it crashes and reboot (or just hang and impossible to wake up).

Im travelling far from home, so I cant return it at the moment. Hopefully someone can help (if its fixable).

Thx

Tommy

Best thing we can do is reflash firmware using Smart Switch or odin good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cr@ckpot:
I returned my phone and got a new one. Since I have the new phone, no reboots or other issues.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cr@ckpot:
My phone just started after the battery was dead. (Of course you have to charge it before)

IF you were to build AOSP for Nexus devices, would it be absolutely the same as stock android with the phone?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yes there is a difference. Many of the things in android are not open source.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metrize:
What sorts of things? any examples?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Well Google Apps for example. The fact that in pure aosp they are all replaced by aosp apps that have not been updated in a long time. Things like the dialers messaging app and things of that nature.

Also you will have to pull all the closed sourced binaries and drivers from the device you are building for. As those are not part of aosp.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metrize:
After flashing gapps it should be very similar right?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Should be. If it is a nexus device.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.demarco:
Ok, so my old Nexus 6 fell 40' down a pipe chase while I was soldering some 4" copper water mains at work. Needless to say it was destroyed.

Got the replacement phone from insurance, went to plug it in to the computer to unlock and root it, but the computer won't recognize it, even though it had no problem recognizing the old phone. I checked, and device manager says unknown device with the little yellow triangle on it.

Android sdk tools are installed, as are the latest Google drivers.

I followed the instructions in the All-In-One thread for getting the computer to recognize the device, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Should I uninstall the sdk tools and the drivers, and redo them all?

Or does anyone else have any other suggestions?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowrelyt:
the Nexus Root Toolkit can help you set up drivers, I'd give that a shot.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.demarco:
i was always told to not use toolkits...

i went ahead and deleted both the sdk and the google drivers, and reinstalled them, and everything is working now. unlocked and got twrp back, making a backup now, then on to root.

any idea if we can get regular root on mmb29v? i don't think i want systemless root... or do i? is there a link that i can read to learn the difference between the two and why one is better than the other?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
People on this site recommend not using NRT for *rooting*, but NRT is more than just a rooting tool. It's a fantastically-well-programmed kit which helps with all parts of the process - as you've just discovered yourself (or did you not use NRT?). I've questioned (what I perceive to be) the kneejerk antagonism towards toolkits, but I think that the more experienced members recognise and admit that toolkits have their place once people take the time and trouble to understand what the toolkits are doing so that when they go wrong people don't plague the forums with questions that have been answered dozens of times already.

Yes, you certainly do want systemless root. It makes things like Google Pay (or whatever it's called - I wouldn't touch it myself) work, and it potentially makes OTA upgrades work. There is no benefit that I know of that would make system root better than systemless, though I'm just an uninformed end-user of other people's expertise... :)

(P.S. As an aside, unrelated to this query, can I ask generally that people don't respond including the entire original message unless the thread is so fantastically busy that the reply would make no sense? I wade through dozens of posts which repeat again and again the post I've just read directly above the reply. It's a waste of space, processing power and my time to have to look for the reply following the 50 lines of repeated comment above it. If you're responding to a specific point, copy and paste that particular point into your reply, not the entire 200 lines... You get me...?)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.demarco:
no, i didn't use nrt. i did the fastboot flash of the oem unlock and recovery.

as for the systemless root helping with ota, i had systemless root on my old nexus 6 and it wouldn't allow me to do ota's. i also don't use google pay.

it also seems easier to flash custom rom's when you have system root as opposed to systemless root, but maybe i am wrong?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
Yes, I think that even Chainfire accepts that his systemless root won't work with OTAs unless you use the built-in unroot function before trying the upgrade. I mentioned it only because I was rooted with v2.68 and the N preview installed regardless, which surprised me. I dont think that the same happy event occurs with ordinary security OTAs.

I don't believe installing a custom ROM is affected in any way by the root method, since you lose it anyway.

And I'm sure you've gladdened many hearts tonight with your comment "i didn't use nrt. i did the fastboot flash of the oem unlock and recovery."... :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.demarco:
i know for installing purenexus, there is a difference between system root and systemless root. nathanchance gives a description for updating purenexus with systemless root, but not for installing it fresh.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElementalWindX:
I'm trying to get my phone ready to install this rom ( http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/development/rom-xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423 ) and my current specs are: Model: SM-G920V, Android Version: 5.0.2. Baseband: OC3, Kernel version: 3.10.61, Build: OC3, Hardware: MDF v2.0 R2, VPN 1.4 R4.

This is a virgin untouched phone from the day S6 released. I wanted to make sure I do this right as I remember messing up my S5 upgrading the build to something nobody could root and you couldn't go back to the old version. I'd like to not repeat that with this phone :)

Also is it possible to get the newest MM beta perhaps? Like with this rom ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65588463&postcount=9473 )

Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElementalWindX:
After 30+ views and 0 replies I decided to try for myself. I found pingpongroot and did that. Rooted successfully. Then I downloaded twrp manager and tried to install the newest of that. It says it installed successfully and asked me to reboot. I rebooted and now I'm stuck at a bright blue start up failed screen.

Any idea how to fix this?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] self_slaughter:
I was typing up something as you posted that lol. Oh well.

You were on a winner with ping pong (root without voiding warranty), but you've blown that now by flashing twrp.

Best bet now would be to flash latest 5.1.1 stock ROM via odin, then install arter97s modded version of twrp 3.0.0-0 (V13) and SuperSU 2.68 to get you up to date and wait for marshmallow.

Or just flash the older twrp 2.8.something as is now to hopefully just get you up and running again.

Latest official twrp is pretty much broken currently.

Edit: scratch that, arters mod won't work on your phone. Just find an older 2.8 version of twrp for your phone and try that.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElementalWindX:
How should I go about flashing twrp 2.8? I can use volume down + home + power to get to the downloading screen... Is there an odin way to install 2.8?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] self_slaughter:
Yeah odin is the usual way of installing it. Find the .tar or .tar.md5 and flash that via odin.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElementalWindX:
What would be wrong with using 3.0.1 or 3.0? They are only working with MarshMellow at the moment?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] self_slaughter:
Ahhh. Just read up. Your bootloader is locked. No custom recoveries will work.

You should of just stopped at ping pong. It was your only way of getting root. (Which was what I was originally going to suggest lol)

This thread may be of some help recovering.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElementalWindX:
Sorry for sounding so newb but I rooted the phone so doesn't that mean it's unlocked? I read that thread and I'm downloading those 2 zip files to attempt to use odin to flash one of them. Unfortunately the mirror is so 1980s slow it will take 6 hours to download each file.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] self_slaughter:
Ping pong used a completely different exploit to get root. Now you need a custom recovery or kernel to get root, both of which you can't do with a locked bootloader.

What did you flash originally? Hopefully you can just flash stock recovery back and stay on 5.0.2 to keep root.

If you are forced to update you may never get root again unless a new exploit is found.

Sorry, I haven't had much to do with a locked bootloader so can't be a great help. Do plenty of reading while whatever you are downloading is going and hope you can find a way to stay on 5.0.2

---------- Post added at 06:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 AM ----------

Try this link. It is the same firmware you are on currently and I seem to be maxing out my connection downloading it.

http://stockfirmware.androidrootz.com/download-all_vzw_g920vvru1aoc3_g920vvzw1aoc3_cl4318389_qb4424773_rev02_user_low_ship-zip/

Flash that via odin and if it works, You should be able to run ping pong again and keep root at least.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElementalWindX:
Thanks I got that file and did successfully flash it with odin and did re-root with pingpong. How do I get my phone to the next step to get a rom loaded? I tried using twrp manager to load 2.8.7.2 and that just gave me the same result of the same blue screen. I'm reflashing back to the original rom right now :( sigh.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] self_slaughter:
Ahh good times, that worked out well then. No custom recovery will work on your phone unless they find a way to unlock the bootloader. As for roms, check the Verizon s6 section. There was some there although most are probably abandoned by now since not many people would still have 5.0.2. Can't really help you on that front.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElementalWindX:
So what version allows an unlocked boot loader and whats the best way to upgrade to that? The person whose rom I quoted in post #1 says they recommend using twrp.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] self_slaughter:
It's your specific phone that is locked. (SM-G920V). Big difference to 920F or 920I etc...

Not much you can do about it unfortunately. Lucky you even got root.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElementalWindX:
wtf? So Verizon phones sold in America are screwed out of the ability to do roms? :( Thats a first for me. This sucks.

It happens to me too occasionally. My phone is not rooted, still on lollipop.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmanuf:
it happens for me as well
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] civicsr2cool:
Kind of ridiculous
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dillalade:
By the way it's behaving, it would seem logical that there's an issue with the sim card reader or the sim card.

Given this is not happening to many people.

Try a different sim to see if it persists. If it does then I'd think it was down to the sim reader hardware.

Just a thought
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] civicsr2cool:
Do you not get this notification? I am a heavy user, my phone is never really off and it's pretty constant at about every 30 minutes flashing a few times, with or without sim in.

I get it as well. Sometimes it happens very often. Sometimes there is longer in between. Have seen the error with different sim cards

Hi guys

I'm running 400 dpi on my S6 E+ and therefore my edge screen looks "funny".

I have changed it via xposed app settings to be back on 560 dpi (stock) and now the clock looks bigger than the rest.

Any ideas on what to do to get it look stock normal?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Milimbar:
Quite a few people who purchased the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are having issues with the SD card notification that will not go away, or will come back every reboot.

I was having the same problem, then I remembered the "OK Google" notification from android wear watches.

Follow along here.

This was a notification that people could not get rid of, it just sat there every time they turned the watches on.

Then people realised that it started disappearing on its own.

Then we realised that it was set to appear until you used it so much, sort of like a reminder that it was there and then it would disappear.

Finally people realised if you just woke the watch up and said ok google a few times it would go away for good.

Still with me?

If so you might know what I am saying already.

If you use the SD card for a while the notification will go away and not come back.

I took about 20 pictures with the camera set to store pictures on the SD card and it went away.

My wife took a 20 second video and hers went away.

TLDR, Use the SD card, the notification is just a reminder that it is there and available.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] WeatherTech:
I have been heavily using my S7 edge camera for taking photos of cherry blossoms and the recurring notification is still popping up. I think I caught it in the act for the first time today and it actually did say "ejecting SD card" and then it remounted. I've tried re-seating the card a few times but no luck. It's not that big of a deal but it makes me wonder if the tray is defective. I'm using an EVO 32GB card from Samsung. For me there appears to be no rhyme or reason as to when the notification pops up. Sometimes I come back to the phone after it's been sitting still for a few hours and the notification is there. Other times I'll shut the screen off and then go back to check it 2 or 3 minutes later and it's there. Other times it doesn't show up for a few hours.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Kjc99:
I'm getting transferring media from sd card on every reboot and it won't go away til I swipe it.... Shouldn't be transferring on every reboot.... If you card is mounting and unmounting it could be a sign of a faulty sd card or might not be in there correctly..... I would try a different card just to make sure your device is not the problem.....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Shuthefrontdoor:
I think it's a design flaw, because I was only getting the message when rebooting and last night my wife threw the TV remote and landed on my phone and I think the shock made the message appear immediately, so I'm thinking thebfkimsy tray isn't seating the SD card as stable as it should be, just my two cents
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Kjc99:
I would of freaked out if a remote hit my phone... Usually really OCD about my phones for the first week or two.... Nice to have the SD card back though from last year.... didnt Know how much I missed it on the S6
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Shuthefrontdoor:
Heck yea I freaked!! My wife instantly got scared cause she knows how ocd I am about my phone's lmao, but no harm no foul
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Christian99:
Please note that this can go away for a few days but will come back. No matter what you do (hard reset = I did 8 times), 2 micro SD, one Sandish and one Samsung = same problem. Unfortunately, it is a hardware issue. If I were you, I would protect my phone with a case and screen protector (to ensure to keep full warranty of the device) and wait a few months to get a phone from a new batch. I have a friend who works at Samsung Canada and he anonymously told me that this is a known issue by Samsung who will not admit it and they will still sale the batch that was previously build with this issue. Once they get new batch, this will be fixed. Also, my assumption is that the issue will get worse overtime (sun, cold, bending, pockets, etc). Good luck.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Christian99:
Get a replacement from your provider. Your case is the worst. Mine did this one night we were listening music and watching pictures at the same time. For like 3 hours, I rebooted my phone 15 times. It seems that the more you access it (music /pictures /app to SD at the same time, the more demanding you go on your SD, the more crash happens.
