Hello everyone,

Any feedback as to this question ?

(Dying to flash BPH6... :D)

Many Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idebutterpiep:
There is a new Chainfire CF-Autoroot and a newTWRP and I had no issues BPH6 and BPHC using odin.

Rooted without problems. All my apps that need root work again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bengtc:
Has anyone tried this method with BPH6 version?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] biustech:
i was about to try when twrp developer released the updated version for S7edge working with BPH6 then I decided to use odin (latest version) like suggested in this topic, follow the instructions you will keep you data, only thing you have to do after is resintall cf-auto-root and updated version of twrp
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] rambo21es:
I've just used this tutorial with latest PH6 from Germany DBT and it has worked without issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] liamR:
So I rooted my phone using CF-Auto-Root and odin (without TWRP). Can I update to BPH6 without losing my data and root using FlashFire?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] rambo21es:
Of course you can. After flashing the rom with FlashFire, you have to enter to download mode in order to flash the latest CF auto root with the latest odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mirfanmian:
what is ever root in flash fire option can some one explain ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] alehawk:
Can I flash de AP and CSC too?

tnx

Since my firmware "NEE" (Nordic Countries) is still back to the june update, could i take potentialy take another countrys firmware that is newer? Would anything change with that?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] biustech:
yes you can download the latest FW from other countries, I'd suggest BTU (UK) or PHN (Netherlands) and you can flash either with flashfire or via Odin (more safer method). depending the method it will change your CSC code to other region, but that's not a problem you can return to your CSC later if you want.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bengtc:
I just tried doing this with PH6 and now my phone boots to TWRP recovery every restart..... I've installed previous versions fine..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] biustech:
i think you have to update the twrp to latest version
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Hani88:
I understood that flashfire only flashes "AP" file.. how to flash the rest? "BL" and "modem" and "CSC" ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] biustech:
follow this method it's more appropriated if you want to upgrade everything
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ianmacd:
FlashFire's author recommends against using it to flash a bootloader, and with very good reason. Use Odin instead.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Hani88:
But I will loose the root if I did this right ?

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------

If I flash "ap" using flashfire after that "BL" and "CSC" and "modem" will that work 100%?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ianmacd:
If, by "after that", you mean using Odin, then yes. But then why waste time by first flashing the AP with FlashFire? It's quicker and simpler to simply fill all four slots in Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bengtc:
When I flashed with ODIN, it re-encrypted my internal memory...is that normal? I then had to wipe my phone data to decrypt via TWRP...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Hani88:
I want to keep my phone rooted and update it without loosing data.. If I flash "AP" with flashfire the data will not be gone right?.. if that right what will happen if I flash the other files in odin after that ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ianmacd:
Root will be gone if you use Odin for the AP, yes, but it's so trivial to reroot with CF Auto Root that this is no bother at all.

Either way is fine, though; and neither will cause you to lose data.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Hani88:
Of course root will be gone if I flashed "AP" using odin dude

But my question is : If I flash "AP" with flashfire but the rest files (CSC+CP+BL) with odin after that what the result will be ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ianmacd:
I have already answered you:

.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Hani88:
Yeah you did.. thanks a lot now I understand the whole idea.. "AP" contains the recovery.img and boot.img so I must flash them using flashfire.. and i agree with you.. doing this using Odin then re root using cf auto root is easier really!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] biustech:
as far as i know, it's saferr if you flash only AP using flashfire, or flash everything using ODIN.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] liamR:
To be 100% sure. Can someone confirm (from experience) that flashing AP+CSC+MODEM using Odin will not wipe the Data (and reroot afterward with CF-Auto-Root)?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] biustech:
yes you won't need to wipe but follow instructions from this topic to update using odin. use the latest version and don't forgot do enable secure startup like said in the instructions and afterwards you can reroot
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Hani88:
You have also to make sure that you will use the same firmware CSC otherwise your phone will be formated.. it happened with my phone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] liamR:
Worked like a charm. Thanks!

When i tried this my phone wouldn't boot giving me message:

custom binary blocked by secure boot (boot.img)

I reflashed the engboot as someone said to do on this thread

http://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/help/custom-binary-locked-secure-image-boot-t3438936

but my phone still isn't updated now... any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kk-ftp:
Noob help!!

I've just gone through this whole thread and you guys seem so knowledgeable. I'm a total noob to the world of root and xda. I just about managed to root my s7 edge a couple months ago after it being soft bricked (which i completely thought ruined my phone lol).

Anyway, I know want to update my phones firmware to the latest version and came across this so as a noob I have a lot of questions.

Can i use this flashfire to install the latest update considering I have no custom recovery installed? I've read as much about TWRP but i still don't know what it does or how to do it lol.

Can I use flashfire to install the latest update without losing data? Can I also use it to create a back up of my current data, just in case i need to reflash the firmware I have now?

My phone is really important to me so I really don't want to spend hours having issues with it not working as I receive all my work through my phone, so if I have issues I'll be without work!

Can anyone give me a step by step on what to do to install the latest firmware too? I'm using a UK variant of the s7edge. Also, i wasn't to install xposed (so from what I've read I can do this with flashfire too right?) every time i want to install xposed i get a warning message about my phone being bricked and so I've always avoided installing it. Can someone help me with xposed too?

Thanks in advance!

Is flashfire capable of flashing modem and boot loader on g935f?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] zuixian:
Hi Bengtc,

Did you manage to solve your encryption issue?

This is my understanding thus far:

1) with TWRP and encryption removed, flashing with ODIN is a no no as it'd re-encrypt (and lose all data).

My question now becomes:

with TWRP (3.0.2-4) and encryption removed,

a) Flash AP with Flashfire 0.53

b) BL, CP and CSC by ODIN

would the above method work without losing encryption (and hence lose all data)?

(Firmwarw BPH2 is the of the correct CSC)

Many Thanks in advance:good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bengtc:
Never looked into it further....just had to import all my data from my titanium backup. But before that I would just flash with flashfire and everything was good
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] blumonkey:
Hi, quick question, has anyone tried this going from MM to Nougat on the S7 Edge and if the root is maintained? Upgraded to Nougat, but lost root, and havent found a way to get root back on nougat yet. So very keen to know if this would maintain root, if so I will downgrade, re-root then install flashfire for use.. :)

S7 Edge Updates to Rooted Phone (sprint)

Ok, so I am self proclaimed Noob here, but trying to change that. S7 Edge is rooted, (sprint phone on att GSM). Looking to update firmware without messing up the newly rooted phone, as I don't have the wherewithall yet to fix. Super SU installed. Has anyone used flashfire successfully to update firmware without changing the rooting in anyway? Using the attached guide or is there an easier way? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] modaifallah:
This way works if I have Xposed as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Bogeyof:
Nope, you will have to install Xposed again after update...

But you could update with odin also very easy. Only three steps, flash firmware (with HOME-CSC instead of CSC-File, be sure you downloaded matching firmware to your current CSC), flash CF-Autoroot and after reboot flash Xposed with flashfire. No need of an TWRP-Recovery or something else, so you will flash complete firmware with bootloader and modem update...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] joel_gil:
phone bricked

went in and must have gotten the wrong file. this "guide" is a bit lacking in details sadly.

for future reference, ive got the sprint sm-g930p model. i went to the link, which then said is outdated and offers a new site to DL firmware from. At that site I looked for my model and noticed there are 3 different sprint firmwares SPR, XAS, VMU. I couldnt get much info about this so I just went with the XAS one.

flashed it with flashify and on reboot I was bricked. I had rooted my phone using this guide https://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s7/how-to/samsung-galaxy-s7-sm-g930p-root-xposed-t3503599

I just wanted to give Flashfire their props. I currently have a corrupted data partition and I am unable to do anything that involves data from Twrp. With Flashfire I am able to not only wipe my data but backup a well. My phone stayed filled up because of the amount of data that was being stored. Anyway Flashfire is awesome so I take my hat of to you guys.

I'm currently on Nougat 7.0 stock ROM G935FXXU1DQC4 with root and installed TWRP and Flashfire.

Is it ok to update my phone to G935FXXU1DQEF (the very next update, still under 7.0) using Flashfire ? Will I lose data ?

Since this guide was written before Nougat, I'd like to make sure it still works without bricking the phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] romyrider:
Just updated at 5:31am, here's how

- Downloaded the correct german file from sammobile (zip file)

- Didn't decrypt anything

- Installed flashfire

- Dropped the whole zip file onto my internal storage + supersu.zip (precaution after reading that it might come in handy)

- On flashfire I selected "flash firmware package"

- Everything except modem was pre-selected

- I deselected recovery, because of twrp

- After flashing, it booted straight to twrp

- On twrp I flashed supersu.zip and booted phone, after a phew boots and loops it finally was over

- Successfully booted into 7.0 and working perfectly fine

I only have two small issues, my baseband is still the old one (marshmallow) and I have no system/csc folder anymore, it's completely gone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ianmacd:
Three questions before I attempt to do the same thing myself:

Is your /data partition decrypted or still in the factory-encrypted state?

When you booted into TWRP, did you need to reflash the dm-verity and force-no-encryption ZIPs?

Have you tried updating the modem (baseband) as a separate operation?

I usually use Odin for firmware updates, but I had a nasty experience last month when /data accidentally became reencrypted and my TWRP back-up failed to restore, so I'm being more cautious this time and hoping to do the whole thing through FlashFire.

Thanks.

I am on SM-G955FD baseband version G955FXXU1AQI7 (Android 7.0) rooted through CF-Auto-Root download from firmware.mobi by [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]. I removed a lot of blotware afterwards, and xposed official is installed.

Now I want to install an update while keeping the root.. I downloaded the latest firmware with baseband version G955FXXU1AQJ5 (3.26gb zip file) which is a minor update and android version is still 7.0 and I am using the same update package as default i.e. same CSC

Moreover I am on stock recovery i.e. Custom recovery such as TWRP is not installed.

Now I want to install this firmware package through FlashFire v0.73 while keeping root as well as data intact.

I suppose I have to pick this zip file (without extracting) from FlashFire firmware menu..

I need your input on steps to get this update through without loosing root or phone data...

In FlashFire I am getting current binary status as custom.

Moreover I don't have access to a PC right now!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] BMAN24:
Welp, I tried doing this method and my phone got wiped and can't boot lol.

I was on 6.0.1 (935-W8 Canada) stock but rooted. Downloaded the latest stock one from Sammobile and I can't boot now.

First I had bootloop. Then I rebooted and it gave me an error saying my device was Encrypted and I needed to reboot. I hit the volume button by accident and could see the theme changed to the 7.X version so presumably it worked.

I have nothing now except my external SD card intact, and I can still get into TWRP.

What should my next steps be?

*edit* Tried going through Odin and loading the extracted zip file (BL/AP/CP/HOME_CSC) and it just failed lol.

*edit2* I was able to re-initialize via Samsung Kies. Rofl completely back to stock now.

[Xposed General] youareinvadingprivacy:
I know there's at least 3 modules that could do the job. Which should I use?

What I want is to provide fake (randomized on each boot for example) info to ALL apps (unless I specify otherwise in the module). Fake info should include everything that's personally identifiable. E.g. network ID, any location detection, phone number, any added accounts, etc..

I also want to prevent access to microphone and camera unless I specify otherwise.

So far I used xPrivacy but for some reason it keeps crashing which means it's not constantly running and info leaks at some point.

I'm on Android 5.1.1, rooted, unlocked, running something based on CM.
[Xposed General] Portgas D. Ace:
XPrivacy is the best way. Try to re-install Xposed and XPrivacy. If XPrivacy still crashes, report this issue in the XPrivacy thread here on XDA including a log file.
