[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:
Please remember that I do not have a solution for those that are getting stuck at the boot screen in the factory firmware, i'm still getting a lot of

requests for this via my form. Without having the issue myself I am unable to work on a fix.

Hello, I desperately need your help with this. Is there an ETA for G935W8? My IMEI is 00000000.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ciaccariello:
Getting stuck at boot screen trying to fix IMEI 00000 DRK

After flashing factory binary and original firmware I also got stuck at boot screen. It does not boot into factory binary firmware which should allow me to restore the IMEI, I assume.

Did you hear of any other person who successfully managed to fix this without octopus box or other hardware tools ? Please let me know. Thanks:)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ppp888:
Sorry for maybe this very stupid question, but if the factory binary don't boot, can you still flash back stock rom and boot your phone normally or you will have to stay with the non-booting factory binary untill fix is released? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:
You can still flash stock and boot as normal
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cantenna:
just curious, how does this happen? Are you guys backing up the efi right after you install twrp and before the 1st custom rom install? Wouldn't that step prevent something like this from happening? Would like more info on how this can happen, so i can try to prevent from happening on my phone. :)

I have the w8 running superman rom

Also, the op seems to be in the know so I'll try asking here, In the past I could follow this guide

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059

Doesn't work anymore with these new phones.. Anyone know how to unlock bands?

I am own the SM-G930W8

https://www.frequencycheck.com/carr...galaxy-s7-td-lte-samsung-hero/optus-australia

But I want to add some bands missing from the S7 International model (I think it will improve my reception with Optus)

https://www.frequencycheck.com/carr...-s7-edge-lte-a-samsung-hero-2/optus-australia

I bought the W8 variant because they had a 200.00 discount for trading in a broken phone (which I had) and it is compatible with Wind network (The international doesn't appear to be compatible.

Anyways Im here in Australia with W8 and Optus, have 1 - 2 signal bars only for Edge. If I switch to 3G I get full. but wondering if I only get 1 - 2 because frequency check states that the W8 supports all but one band offered by Optus. Anyone in the know?

UPDATE: So I checked out my phone with the phone info app for samsung; said my origional csc code was Italy (should be wind) I then used TWRP to restore my EFS partition to the backup I created, anyways now it shows original as wind but whats odd, I'm getting full LTE signal now and moments agos when my orig csc code was italy id get 1 or 2 bars only on LTE. the carrier im with is optus and I did update csc code previously to optus.

So I guess the takeaway advise, backup your efs before you install your first custom rom and restore your original efs after each custom rom install because if you don't, you could end up with poor reception or worse?

Need helP - Odin ends stucked after install Factory Binary

Hello guys,

I need extremely technical help as no longer know what to do.:mad::crying::crying::crying::fingers-crossed:

I have a Galaxy S7 Edge device, which installed the rom BobCat and everything went well until then.

Later I decided to install another rom to test KingRom that left me unsatisfied, because I thought it had some bugs. Had the TWRP 3.0.0 recovery and decided to upgrade to 3.0.2, everything went well.

At one point I do not remember when or how if was when install back, downgrade to TWRP3.0.0, I do not remember if it was via Odin or TWRP, it happens that the installation stopped halfway. Then unplug the device, restarted in recovery mode and got the following message "E: falied to mount EFS (Invalid Argumen)", I could not restart the device (Boot Loop, and stucked at Samsung Logo) except in Recovery Mode, which also made to stay without IMEI number and Serial Number.

I googled until I came to this tutorial:

http://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-fix-check-drk-imei-issues-t3379516

I followed all the steps explained, I back up EFS_backup and RADIO_bakcup partitions.

Installed FACTORY BINARY G935, everything went well. After restarted, already had the correct IMEI number but still did not present the S / N.

After all that, i tried to install Stock Firmware via Odin, from here started the problems that could not solve.

In the first attempt Odin stucked in "System" (also used the PIT file with the same CSC ... .i do not know if I was right using PIT?). Restarted the device forcibly, entered the stock Recovery, did a complete wipe and always get this message "E: falied to mount System (Invalid argument), I returned to install Factory Binary, then reboot in Recovery and the same message no longer appeared.

Again I try to install the Stock Recovery and Odin always stucks in System, or NAND writing, or Partition, etc. I've tried various Stock Firmware, with and without PIT files, always without success.

Only Factory Binary that successfully installs. The TWRP via Odin also but when device restarts to enter Recovery Mode always get the message at the top of the display:

"Recovery image signature check Fail"

"Reboot to avoid Warranty bit set."

1. Does the partitions are in good shape? how can I check it?

2- I did good or bad using PIT file?

3- Does the problem is running Windows XP through a Virtual Machine?

4 What else can I do?

In all actions used and am using a Macbook 4.1, OsX Lion 10.7.5, Odin 3.11 Windows XP Professional 32bit through Oracle VM VirtualBox 3.4.38

Device:

Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935F) CSC = SWC SwissCom

1st Original Firmware: (I guess was 1?) G935FXXS1APG5_G935FVFG1APF3_SWC

Need help Please

Thank you so very much!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] MAX 404:
Hi mate

First thing , edit your post and delete your imei , you never know who is reading the forum

to use re partition is ok but be careful , you have to check re partition under option and use CSC not home csc , you do not use any additional PIT file , CSC contains the right one (PIT)

http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30781&page=6&p=147270&viewfull=1#post147270

What i am not to sure is using a VM to use XP , can you get a friends PC with Windows if so use it to flash , use latest Odin , other option would be to use Heimdall , is like Odin but for Linux there are threads around in how to use it

There are plenty of guys with special boxes and software to write imei to fix it. Just search youtube for proofs. Why are these methods secret from xda?

Hi Guys,

I accidentally flash wrong firmware via Odin, now my phone shows "0000000000000" in IMEI and won't register on carrier.

I bought this phone from kijiji, I don't have box or anything so I don't know original carrier or country.

I got this info from G935_Factory_Binary.tar that I found on XDA

Model : SM-G935F

PDA: FA60_G935FXXU1APB2

Phone: G935FXXU1APB8

H/W : MP 0.800

Cal.D: 20160203

UN: 9885E651334A563346

I tired IMEI recovery method posted on XDA, but didn't work since I don't know correct factory firmware

I am asuming that I have SM-G935F since it says in download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bonez82:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:
I'd like to remind everyone that if you have the following issues, then at the moment I cannot fix (i'll explain why) and will not respond to any emails or messages about these...

If you have a models other than F and FD

At the moment, I only have the binary firmware for F and FD. The binary firmware costs money and as I do this for free, I cannot afford to purchase the binary firmware for all models and at the moment donations do not cover it. The next binary I purchase will be for the W8 as this is the most popular request after F and FD. I will update the guide if and when I have this.

If you are stuck at boot after flashing factory binary firmware

I have no clue why this happens, it could be that other binary firmware is required. But without a device to test on, I am unable to find a fix. If I ddo ever manage to find a fix, I will update the guide.

I hope this clears some things up

IMEI is restored after running this process, however my SIM is now network locked. Its an SM-G930F with a CSC of CTI which appears to be Argentina, I am on AT&T US. It was unlocked before it was shipped to me, did I lose my unlock status now or is there a way to restore it? I did attempt to restore the EFS partition that I backed up as part of this guide, no change.

Can we try n930w8 for edge variant since there is no g935w8 one on OP
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mark7201:
Yeah, it was corrupt though so it did no good. The SIM message pops up as soon as the factory binary is booted so I imagine that had something to do with it. Whatever the reason, just paid $15 at Fast GSM for an unlock and I'm back up and running.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:

Probably not. I bought access to a site that had them in their repo of combinations so i downloaded it for you and uploaded it. I flashed one from their site (I have a different phone sm-g935fd) that just wouldn't boot past the splash screen so use at your own risk, but didn't break my phone. Thought I'd download it since someone asked. I also haven't been able to boot past the splash screen for any of the ones I've tried so shouldn't discourage you too much.

Hi there,

I am new to android phone and I had an old Grand Quattro GT-I82552 to play with.

I followed the guide at xda http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2494471, downloaded

- ODIN v3.07

- CWM Recovery v6.0.4.5

- Stock Recovery GT-I8552

I followed the steps and flash CWM Recovery v6.0.4.5, but on next boot it won't go to CWM recovery mode (I did removed battery first). I tried many times with other CWM from different sources and now my phone won't boot, it just show up the Samsung Logo with yellow triangles, then shutdown. It doesn't look like a loop boot, as it shutdown entirely. I can't charge the phone either.

I can still go in the usb downloading mode so I flashed the stock recovery, no luck, phone still can't boot.

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

EDIT: I found out that I was too careless to noticed that Volume UP is required for boot into CWM, instead as Volume DOWN. So I can boot into CWM now, however I supposed I can withhold my SuperSU install, and just boot into my stock Samsung appearance by normal shutdown and startup of my phone? I can't, everytime I tried to power on, it get's me to empty battery screen then shut off. I can't seem to charge the phone as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] marco199609:
Have you tried charging the phone for a few hours while in recovery mode, and then turn the device on?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] tancb:
Thank you for your suggestion I will try that. Actually I tried to splice a USB wires and connect red/black to +/- contact for the battery and charge it for few hours, it doesn't seem to get hot, and certainly the phone still can't switch on with the battery.

Initially I thought maybe I messed up the firmware (really I only flash cwm) hence the phone's battery charge controller is not working that's why I tried external charging, but I am not too sure now.

My only hope is to get a way to verify I have enough battery power so I can flash the stock recovery in "downloading mode". I dare not flash recovery without full battery, though the download mode can be accessed while I plugin into PC's usb port.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] redhead77:
Don't worry your phone will charge while in recovery around 2% in 6-7 minutes. After that you can flash stock os via Odin. Next time you try to flash recovery don't check auto reboot in Odin when flashing of tar file will complete remove battery and boot to recovery. Then flash supersu
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] tancb:
Thanks for your advice. I took both of your advice and had my phone flashed with Stock ROM and now it returned to normal with fully charged battery sign shown. My battery appears to be fine with and fully charged, the battery current probably can't be detected with my broken phone back then.

With StockROM in and fully battery, I redo the custom flashing and I am now on custom ROM! Though have some problem with the ROM (battery report not correct, no front camera..) but I am happy now the phone is back to work now.

Thank you very much.
