Roger's ROM - anyone know how to disable the red "smartphone" banner ...the file is "Rogers_branding.gif" I would like to not change it, but disable it completely. Also the startup/shutdown screens - can they be disabled, not edited?
[HTC Excalibur] JAmerican:
You'd have to go into Registry and search for Rogers_branding.gif and delete all the values for the keys. Do NOT delete the keys. Just the values. Then it will disappear.
[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
Island man, Yeah! that's right, you are truly on top of things, dude you are true to the game!
[HTC Excalibur] Ice_Cube:
EDIT: Never mind.
[HTC Excalibur] jhwo99:
Go to and change/create:

HKLM/System/Shutdown - 1 - values --> value name: Splash --> value data: \Windows\HTC_LogoImg_320x240.bmp

HKLM\System\Startup - 1 - values --> DWORD with value name: Duration - value data: 1000

STRING with value name: Splash - value data: \Windows\ms_splash.pnq

You can not edit a string or dword. So you have to delete and create!

Copie ms_splash.png to your windows folder. (change jpg into pnq)

- change the regkey: hklm\software\microsoft\shell\rai\msbranding values bannerimage value name in "none"

- change the regkey: hklm\software\microsoft\shell\rai\mscdial values bannerimage value name in "none"

Restart and your phone and startup and shutdown are like the HTC roms and all the Roger branding is gone..
[HTC Excalibur] Ice_Cube:
Instead of deleting and creating strings you can just change the strings under these keys:

HKLM\Software\HTC\Startup\

HKLM\Software\HTC\Shutdown\

The keys here are used by the dll, so you don't really need to change anything else for the startup/shutdown... :)
[HTC Excalibur] qajuan:
question

when changing the start up screen

can you change it to an animated gif file ?
[HTC Excalibur] Ice_Cube:
Yes. I'm pretty sure it has to be .gif though.
[HTC Excalibur] qajuan:
thanks

it just has to be the same size right ?
[HTC Excalibur] jhwo99:
The file sort has to be the same ( so rename the the to .bmp , .pnq , etc...
[HTC Excalibur] travisc:
when i search the registry for rogers_branding.gif, it doesn't seem like it finds anything.

yea man, i had a hard time finding it myself - do this - try and find it in resco explorer. that's the way to go - that's how i found it. good luck !
[HTC Excalibur] travisc:
k, i'll try resco... I've been using Total Commander.
[HTC Excalibur] ahk85:
hey

i too have the same complaint, i don't want the smartphone banner nor the rogers startup.

i found the file Rogers_branding.gif in windows but i didn't know what u meant by NOT delelting the keys and changing heir values???

please help

I have been trying different roms but within a few days from install when I plug the charger the phone goes in the awake state and it will never go to deep sleep even when charger is unplugged. Of course if I don't reboot the phone it will drain battery a lot. How can I troubleshoot what is causing this? Thanks for the help

Ever since I've flashed latest SuperMan-Rom V1.5.1 using TWRP 2.0.3-0, Since then I lost IMEI, baseband etc, I can't even able to place/receive any calls. Baseband version is 'Unknown' and IMEI & IMEISV (slot 1 & slot2 ) are 'Unknown' too. Any ideas how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

You wiped your basband. Did you install incorrect CSC files. Same thing happened to me with the Superman Rom. Got to back up your efs in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] iali76:
How do I make sure if I use to correct firmware or CSC files? Thanks for your help
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Psyscope:
So check this out. Try this. Go download your odin for your phone. You can download anyone. Just makensure it is newer or the same as what you have. After you add everything to Odin, click option tab and make sure Phone EFS Clear and Phone Bootloader Update are checked. Then flash the odin rom. Lmk if that works.

No luck so far, as I checked both buttons to install the firmware I downloaded from Sammobile site. So my phone origin county is Vietnam, any idea which firmware should I use?

Did you backup EFS before install the ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] iali76:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Psyscope:
Go download smart Switch, boot your phone to download mode. In samsing smart switch click more emergency firmware initialization then click the other tab.... itll ask for your model numeber then a window below will ask for your serial. When it accepts it, it will attempt to restore it. It will show you the rom that came with your phone. Right that down. Let it do its thing. There is another thread on this forum you will need the binary for your phone.

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

Likewise if you can get into twrp, use the file manager to delete everything in the efs folder. And actually you dont need the original rom. Just download apdn or apdu. But you will nees the binary too.

So guys if you are getting a DRK error after flashing the Odin restore? GO ahead and try flashing Chainfire's root. This will get the phone to boot up, that is after you flash the Binary and then the Odin rom, the flash chainfire. Remember, you will have to flash Chainfire going forward forever, every time you use Odin to restore them room. Otherwise, youtherwise you will get a device root key error and refuse to boot up.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] P1226R:
LOL. Same thing happend to me, the superman rom 1.5 has incorrect CSCs, ATT and TMobile CSC are for S820 version. I realized it after 1.5.1 came out.

Anyway, I tried all possible method to fix it but no good. Hope someone could help us.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Psyscope:
Did you flash the Binary of the Rom?

Follow the directions in this rom. See after you flash the Binary Odin, if your IMEI shows up. If it does flash the Odin Full restores, any , it doesn't matter. You will get a DRK error or you should, then Flash Chainfire

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

After this if you get DRK errors, Flash Chainfires CF-Root.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] P1226R:
Thanks for your suggestion, I've tried flash Binary(exactely followed the steps), Kies urgent recovery, but nothing help, im going to try edit my broken EFS file.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Psyscope:
Wait, you don't restore it with Kies, you have to use Smart Switch, then choose more... Emergency Firmware Initialization... Then enter your model number and then it will ask for your serial.

So when you flash the Binary, there is a secret menu, top left corner, click it and then you should see all these menu buttons, choose settings. It will look like stock Android. Go down to backup and reset, and fully wipe through that. Then flash the Binary, see if you get an imei in the IMei screen remember you have to type *#06# in the screen keypad. If you see your imei, good, power down, boot into download mode, and flash the Full Odin Rom.... If you get DRK error, flash Chain Fire CF-Root.

---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 AM ----------

*********Disclaimer********** If you get your device working, you willl always need to flash Chainfire CF-Root to get it booting, no matter which Odin rom you flash. Don't ever uncheck oem unlock, then you will not be able to flash Chainfire and your device is bricked for good.

---------- Post added at 02:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 AM ----------

One other thing when you are flashing in Odin, make sure you check Phone EFS Clear and also Phone Bootloader Update
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] P1226R:
I did everything you said, first I recovered by using Smartswitch, then checked OEM Unlock and flashed binary. After boot in Binary I checked the secret menu and did a wipe in settings from that secret menu. Then I flashed the Binary again via Odin. I dialed *#06# after reboot but imei is still missing. While stay in the Binary screen about 3 mins, the screen became black and display "CP CRASH UPLOAD MODE".

I appreciate your help bro... maybe it will be solved in next few weeks, I feel tired with flashing and flashing, maybe it's time to go with IOS series lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Psyscope:
LOL don't stop there, but take a break. That is what I did, god I flashed so many times.

When you are rested......

Next step Flash the regular Odin Restore rom, this is different from the binary. BTW, try taking your SIM card out of the phone when you do this. If your phone boots up after the Odin restore, see what your baseband is. If it doesn't root it, then install twrp. I went into TWRP and used the file manager to delete everything in the efs files. I think something gets backed up or stored there from the bad csc files we flashed. No matter how often we flash, they are still there. Delete everything in the efs folder. Then go back to download mode.... Flash Binary.... Then Flash Odin Restore Rom.... Then Chainfire Auto-CF root.

While doing all this, check these options in Odin Clear Phone EFS, and Phone Boot Loader, I have also wiped the NVRAm option and Also repartitioned.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] P1226R:
Thank you very much bro, I will try more tonight. I always backup my EFS in the internal storage, but yestarday I flashed superman 1.5 accidently wiped the entire internal storage lol... I was like what the f....

I will let you know the result. Again, thank you so much for the help
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Psyscope:
And if you are able try to restore through Samsung Smart Switch. It won't work after the restore, but honestly all are an attempt to repair what was done with Superman Rom.

After the Odin Restore, try Chainfire. The rom may look to be chain rebooting. Force it restart yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] P1226R:
LOL, I'm so done with this, I flashed all kind of combination, none worked. aweeeee..... BTW, is your phone get IMEI restored?

I will wait till there is a thread about how to fix this then sell this bad boy.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Psyscope:
Yes it is, but I flashed so many times in different combinations. I have an idea of the combination, but it's a ***** getting to it. Remember if you flash the regular Rom and it won't boot up.... you need to flash the Chain fire root. It will look it's boot looping, it's not. Force restart it yourself and wait.

---------- Post added at 05:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 AM ----------

Yeah I took break to think about it too. It's exhausting ... Remember if you are ever able to delete the efs directory on the phone whether when it boots up or through twrp do so.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] P1226R:
Everything looks normal except Baseband Unknown. I remember it was 0000000 once I check it last night. I'll try contact Samsung for getting a repair :(

same problem i flash supermanrom and my baseband imei lost :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Psyscope:
Note- Whenever you flash with Odin, please check in Options the following, Phone EFS Clear, Re-Parition, NAND Erase All, Phone EFS Clear, Phone boot loader Update..... make sure you check them every time you flash through Odin, whether the room or the binary.

Use Odin 3.11.1

1. Take Your Sim Card out of the phone.

2. So one person I was helping got his working. First thing if your phone boots up, you will need to boot into twrp. There is a file Explorer. Use it to navigate to the EFS folder and delete what is inside your efs folder.

- Note even if CuBz90 makes a file for you and you restore, it may not work, since the refs folder should be deleted to remove all remnants of the bad csc files.

3. Flash the Binary from Cubz thread and follow Cubz directions in this thread.

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

4. When and if you get to the Diagnostic screen, to know if it worked.

Click IMEI, type in *#06* if you see your imei your baseband is back, if you see another number or serial it isn't.

5. If it isn't back go back to the main menu, top left corner, click the button, you will see a bunch of panels, click settings. Navigate to Backup and restore, choose delete everything.

6. Reflash the Binary, Check your IMEI, Flash the Regular Odin Rom for your phone.

7. Flash Chainfire CF-Root, your phone won't boot up without this. Otherwise, you will get errors or a boot loop. The phone will restart 2-3 times after flushing this, force it reboot by holding the power button and volume down.

8. If your IMEI and Baseband are correct, put your SIM card in. If they are not, if you haven't deleted your EFS folder, please either use Root Explorer or boot into TWRP and delete it.

9. Put the phone into Download Mode, Install Samsung Smart Switch, open the app, click More at the top right corner, choose Emergency Fimware Initalizaiton, then choose Device Initialization, Type in your model number, it should be SM-G935F(or SM-G935FD for the dual sim), then type in the serial number in the box below. It will tell you what rom first came with your phone. You should write this down for future purposes. Let it restore.

10. When it finishes flash Chainfire, it will reboot a couple times and then force restart it. When it finishes, if you have cellular signal you are done. If it does not then reboot into download, flash the Binary, then restore rom, then Chainfire and try again.

This is extremely repetitive until you get your baseband back.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] P1226R:
Thanks for nice instruction, however all these combinations don't work with my g925f. I've tried all combinations but no luck. Also I noticed the speaker is died, I don't know when it happened but I flashed many times both IMEI and SOUND are GONE lol.... That was my last try, im getting rid of it. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Psyscope:
Wait you have a G925F or G935F?

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

Also if you get twrp on your phone, go in and delete everything in the efs folder in file manager, then Flash either King Rom S7 Edge or Tekxnesis.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] P1226R:
Sorry, my mistake, mine is S7 edge G935F
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] P1226R:
It is weird, I restore through SmartSwitch and it can boot, just no IMEI and no sound. The first time I used KIES to restore then didn't boot(says DMVerifying error in TWRP). I've tired all method, even flashed NV backup and other's EFS from this sit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-DlASO3XJY

I fill out CuBz90's EFS form and now waiting for respond. this is the last hope.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] robotov:
The matter is not that simple. If you have missing IMEI and Baseband after modem update using Odin and you are on Android 8.x Oreo - you have bad luck. People from service will recommend you to replace the motherboard. The problem looks like a logic board problem and you have no ability to downgrade using an earlier firmware version.

I have same problem on Oreo and Superman Rom 3.0.1. Developer of this ROM need to say us for problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] vigilante:
Solution:

(Tested on s7e only)

First backup everything,

Then download a custom rom that has cscs in aroma then go to twrp, wipe everything except internal storage and external if you have now go to mount and select efs go to file manager and delete everything in /efs (ONLY DELETE WHATS IN IT DO NOT DELETE THE PARTITION/FOLDER IT SELF OR ELSE PHONE WONT BOOT) now install the rom and reboot, if signal is still not back when you boot up then just setup your phone it may take a while sometimes for signal to appear, and also check imei by dialing *#06# if everything is alright make a manual backup of your efs with an file explorer and also make a nandroid backup with twrp of efs and baseband, the reason why i am also saying to take a manual backup is because restoring backups often go wrong and causes these efs problems, then save it to a save place like external hdd/usb

Hope this helps for me it did

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please like and donatate if it was helpful, efs repairs are irl very expansive when i had this problem i had to pay €60 and i refused at the end i saved €60 by fixing it by my self

Btw: the trick is that deleting the efs and installing a custom rom with csc selection does rebuild efs my imei was unfortunately not the one from the box but it did work and nothing in my phone refused to work you can always use xposed to fake your imei if you care about that its not looking origional (my imei ended with 26 and imeisv was 3 now it ends with 263 and imeisv is 1) so its close
