Fingerprint unlock works fine for me.

I am seeing "Cell Standby" on first place still after update...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ampalos:
Fingerprint unlock fails to work, ,let's say, 1% of the time.

It gets unresponsive, as if i haven't set fingerprint as an unlocking way.

As far as cell standby battery drain is concerned,it's also there for me after the latest update as i said earlier:D

Can anyone explain me how can I downgrade my s7 from flashed uk btu oreo to croatian nougat with odin

I tried and every time I do it it fails.

Can anyone explain me how to do it. Do i need to get earlier version of odin to downgrade it from oreo to nougat or what? I need nougat because oreo drains battery too fast for me.

PLEASE HELP ME AS QUICK AS YOU GUYS CAN!

I ve flashed it and the battery is drained fast so if I was you i would wait for official release for your country. I flashed oreo on my s7 and now im regretting it. I want to find a way to downgrade it back to oreo
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Which firmware are you flashing ?

You can downgrade, but for that bootloader version must be same. If bootloader is older version, odin will block the flash. Also use the latest odin, and last nougat firmware for your region with V2 bootloader, if issue still happens then tell what error you get in odin.

Will this one work and do i need to put the bl from my flashed oreo file?

And will my phone be what it was before the flashing of oreo btu
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
It won't work obviously because you are flashing V1 bootloader after upgrading to oreo which is V2 bootloader.

The version of the bootloader is the number after S and X, which is 1.

So, tell me if your phone is network locked or global unlocked ?

Edit : looks like you are also on the S7 edge forum, your model is S7 simple not edge.

Also it looks like your operator TELE2 hasn't updated its firmware to V2 bootloader, TELE2's latest software is from december patch but V2 bootloader is from january patch. So you can't downgrade to TELE2 firmware at the moment until it updates to V2 bootloader. If your phone is NOT network locked then you can flash any global firmware of any country. Its best to use the one that uses the same languages and network frequencies mostly..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jjosip02:
I bought it in T-Mobile but then unlocked it, so you want to say that I need to get the T-Mobile version that is I believe equipped with V2 bootloader and then unlock it again?

PDA G930FXXU2DRC1

CSC G930FDHX2DRC1

Will this one work?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
If its unlocked then don't flash carrier specific, flash any open market like xef france or dbt germany..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jjosip02:
What is the best one of them all
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Which has the least bloatware and that country's networks supports your country's network frequencies etc. It also depends if you want samsung pay which is region specific and also Volte / VoWifi which are also region specific, but to use these services your country/network must support them. Do your own research on it if you want or simply flash dbt germany. It will give you most of these services, I don't know how much bloat it has though. You also will have to change/download the language you want as primary instead of german.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jjosip02:
Do you know which one has the best battery optimisation?

And BTW thanks for explaining me how to downgrade?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Battery optimization is not different in same version OS, only if there is less bloat installed it will save some battery, I can't say which firmware has least bloat, depends on one's personal experience too. Btw, you don't need to say thanks in a post, there is a button for that as per xda rules.. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jjosip02:
I wanted to ask you something...

I flashed btu oreo again and I was interested in my battery life. Is it possible that my battery is discharging faster than on other phones. I'm seeing comments on youtube for the battery life and everyone says that when they got the oreo the battery life is better but for me the percentage drops by 10% in like 6 minutes. Yesterday I charged my phone to 91% and when I woke up i got 80%. Is that normal and will that change when I get OTA official update for my country?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ppihoo:
Did you update the phone after upgrading?

Check for software updates as there was update that made battery drain a bit better for me.

Pozdrav!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
This is not normal ofcourse, what apps are installed in your phone ? Did you flashed latest ERE8 oreo ? Or you are still on initial ERD5 oreo build ?

For me, I had dual sim s7 edge, the battery drain on ERD5 oreo was approx 2% per 4 minutes when using phone with dual sims active and mobile data on. Standby time was good. Battery drain in whole night was max 5-7%. I couldn't test my drain on wifi. I got SOT of some 4-5 hours here.

But now on ERE8 build, I am getting 1% drain in 3 minutes approx when using phone on mobile data and dual sims active. Standby drain in whole night was around 3-5% max. I got SOT of some 5 to 6 hours here.

On both situations I had every connectivity and locations disabled.

But the thing is I checked drain on wifi in this ERE8 build, and results were superb. On wifi I got 1% drain in approx 5 minutes when using screen with mobile data off and dual sims active. Standby drain in night was some 1-2% max. In this every connectivity and location service except wifi was disabled. I got SOT of some 8 to 9 hours in this situation !

Also in phone info app it was saying my battery health left was 90%. You should download phone info app and see how much health it says for yours, its displayed in personal tab. It also shows charge cycles there. Mine are 411. If you see your phone is draining more battery on latest ERE8 build than do a factory reset and clear cache. If you are on ERD5 initial build, you should flash latest ERE8 build. If its still the same after trying everything, see your battery health remaining in phone info, even if it says you are around 90% health, you may need a battery replacement..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jjosip02:
I have the latest ERE8, over night 10 percent of the battery goes down. My battery health is on 93.8% and the discharge cycles are 335. I really don't know how is it possible to eat smo much battery. And I don't know if deleting cache will help. I don't know what can be wrong. Like my battery s health is better than yours, I have a single sim, I don't use mobile data that much.

I don't know what can possibly be.

Btw what is SOT? Im confused.

I wiped the cache we ll see the battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
SOT ( screen on time ), I think its the apps that you are using. Try using wifi with mobile data disabled. Also do a factory reset, only wiping cache may not help. Or worst case, you may need a battery replacement..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jjosip02:
I use like snapchat instagram whatsapp samsung music samsung internet youtube and that s it.

Ill try factory reset later. Ill send you feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
I don't use snapchat and instagram, have disabled youtube app too. I use youtube web instead :)

Also I forgot to tell you I had disabled all of google, microsoft, facebook and samsung built in bloatware that I could disable. Instead I use their web, these apps are not worthy in my opinion consuming our phone's resources. Here see my battery stats. These are not my best as I was using mobile data earlier..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jjosip02:
But how? I don't understand my battery health is great i bought my phone last summer.

Do you have whatsapp
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Can't say bro what is causing it, just do what I did, disable every bloatware from settings>apps. And use their web instead. Also use wifi instead of mobile data. Thats everything that I did..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jjosip02:
K Ill see what happens... If not Ill factory reset it.

And will this be fixed by samsung in the future?

I don't know what s it gonna be when my ota arrives...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
You can't flash exynos firmware on snapdragon variant. All U.S variants have snapdragon chipsets. Oreo is currently released only for exynos variants in the UK. Confirm your model no. if its snapdragon or exynos.

Downgrading and RMM

Hi, shah22

I have SM-G935F and, having read all your posts in this thread, I would greatly appreciate it if you could please clarify for me the following:

(1) From what you wrote I understand that the Oreo update for my region (Poland; XEO; PDA G935FXXU2ERE8; CSC G935FXEO2ERE8) is on bootloader v2, which is the same as the bootloader version for the last Nougat for my region (PDA G935FXXS2DRDI; CSC G935FXEO2DRB6) and therefore downgrading won't be a problem here; but the January Nougat is PDA G935FXXS2DRAA and CSC G935FXEO1DQJ3, so is this bootloader v1 or v2? Should I look at PDA or CSC?

(2) Do you know about RMM? I read about the RMM protection, allegedly introduced in the January/December patch, but I'm not entirely sure how this affects changing ROMs exactly; do you know for sure, which update contains this protection? will I be able to root or downgrade after I get RMM? I read that RMM state can be NORMAL, PRENORMAL or LOCKED, can this be reset if I have my Samsung account details on rmm.samsung.com? Any more info on this would be greatly appreciated.

Anyway, many thanks for your help in advance. I want to avoid upgrading and getting some potentially troublesome features, which I then cannot get rid of.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
1. Thats the bootloader version that causes flash to fail in odin, and bootloader is always same as PDA so V2, CSC may be V1 in january patch but afterward its also V2, so csc won't cause any issues, its only the bootloader.

2. As far as my knowledge I haven't seen any rmm case on S7 edge nor seen any thread on this one, but its there on newer devices after january patch. Yes its somewhat like frp lock, and it causes flash error if you are flashing after resetting phone, the main sign of rmm enabled is that OEM unlock option is grayed out in developer options, I think its better to be on latest stock firmware if you don't want to root. But if you want to go custom route I will advise not to upgrade to V2 bootloader, and you will have an easy time flashing custom binaries.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] an531:
Thanks for the advice. I'm considering rooting, only because of YouTube background playback and within app ads. As for YouTube, I use a home screen Brave Browser shortcut to YouTube, which is good enough (although the app zooms in when I don't want to). Ads are more of a pain. When I had Xposed installed, one of the modules blocked ads within apps and it was still possible to update them via Google Play. Now, if I don't want ads, then I have to download patched apps, which, among others, cannot be updated. This is more problematic still e.g. for to-do list apps (which I want to backup into cloud and cannot) or regional navigation apps (which are not available patched).

Are you using any non-root anti-ad solution?

I found this thread to be quite informative as far as RMM is concerned and S7 is not listed there, so perhaps it doesn't have RMM at all, even in Oreo. I understand that you're running Oreo yourself. Do you have "RMM" listed in download mode?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Nope, no RMM, maybe because whenever I factory resetted my phone, I always deleted all my accounts first, I think I will test this time by factory resetting while samsung and google accounts are still there. I will tell you the results.

I always use patched apps, so no ads, also on root there is vpn solution for no ads, so it consumes a lot of battery, if you want no ads but without vpn then root is the solution. And I am not using any such app which didn't have patched versions. Also i am doing all i can to not trip knox until warranty expires, and for every issue I search for a non root method. I tried and found a solution on oreo to change fonts without rooting. So I think everything is there to learn and know, only one needs to dedicate lots of time to search through deeply and read whatever you find. In my one year here on xda I have known so much that I have never thought of that before.. i have seen users do a little mistake while rooting and they got a hard brick at their hands. When you get custom route and rooting, one should always be sure that he read each and everything before proceeding. Here people root their phones without much reading and proceed to do system modifications in twrp and then they accidentally turn off oem unlock option in developer options and then get a hard brick.

For me, I would root when there would be no patched apps available, no custom fonts available, no customization like substratum available, no way to disable bloat in stock rom, no in depth battery stats available and any other issue which solution isn't there for unrooted users. Also if a rom comes that has the least issues, than i may go with that custom rom. But again, there is no other rom other than the stock ones that have the least issues.. currently the only thing I want is to change csc in a multi csc group without root. And i think there is a way without root but a very hard one, and if i couldn't succeed in that i may root my phone...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] an531:
I've rooted and flashed my previous Samsung devices many times and never came even close to a hard brick, but with the exception of Omega Rom, I have always had some issues to do with functionality (most notably, poor Bluetooth connection). Now that I have a faster mobile and with Nougat being less bloated than its predecessors, I also feel no need to root at the moment, other than the two issues I mentioned. However, yesterday I successfully installed Adhell 3 for ads and will be testing it to see if it really blocks ads well.

I also have a G-SM935T, Snapdragon version of the S7 Edge, and there is a root method that doesn't trip knox by using engineering files. As far as I know, there is no root method for the Exynos variant that doesn't trip knox. Warranty is one thing, but tripping knox, from what I heard, also causes a lot of problems with encryption or apps that rely on knox, like Samsung Health. However, I think that in the long run it's a good idea to retain the ability to flash custom roms and, while 935F on Oreo can be rooted reliably, I'm not sure how it behaves when flashing custom roms. From what I remember if RMM state is changed to 'prenormal', then after 7 days it resets itself and one can flash a custom rom (and block out RMM); but if it changes to 'locked', then this workaround doesn't work allegedly.

May I ask why do you want to change csc in a multi csc group?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
What you said is correct, snapdragon variants have some engineering files leaked which are used to root. About that RMM, its not on s7 edge as far i think. I will test myself to see..

I just want least bloatware to disable.. and volte enabled in firmware, thats why I want to change csc :)

Reboot recovery cause is UNKNOWN

But my phone started to restart and sometimes its restarting itself for 1-2 hours and I cant turn off.

- Cant wipe cache I get error]

- I tried to reflash on another pc again

Now the phone is working but I think this is just matter of time. What I am doing wrong? I am using Ireland Meteor Stock ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Just a heads up.. the new ERG2 build is out.. and it fixes a lot of issues like slow charging and error in recovery about misc partition not found.. also phone is more stable but unfortunately cell standby drain is still there.. but hopefully more stable builds will be released in the future..

I seriously recommend anyone who is having issues to download this latest ERG2 build for their CSC and flash it using latest odin.. be sure to factory reset and clear cache before and after the flash. Good luck !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
New build ERKH with version 3 bootloader is out with december security patch(I think its the latest build for s7 series), no issues whatsoever, battery life is not bad, performance good too.. didnt played games too much to check.. note that after coming on version 3 bootloader there is no way of going back to nougat or earlier versions! Users be warned!

Also those who had their s7 phones repaired by a box by using certificate never update their phone!! Or they will use their network signals ! Many users buy second hand and don't even know that it was repaired using box in the past.. so if you are not sure ... never update !

I don't know why but i feel that *#0228# and then tapping quick start , then wait until phone lits again.. this improves battery life for me atleast, if you want , try at your own risk..

Ss attached with stats , i was using mobile data the whole time, used facebook and whatsapp a lot, used some discord and email checking too, some tapatalk and xda app too, did a lot of browsing too, some light gaming too around 30 min, made some few calls totalling 30 min , listened music for a little like 30 min.. strange that gsam app doesnt show every app in stats and shows the usage time for some apps incorrectly too.. and yeah ! I forgot to mention I used built in torch too much these days :D

So hope all you guys still holding on your s7 series ;) and hope you enjoy them too.. and maybe I will jump on the boat if s10 series are worth it .. :D Have a nice year ahead guys :)

Hello, I have the mentioned phone, a few days ago it went into brick mode( stuck in boot screen ).

So I proceed to flash it, everything seems ok but this time the phone it's not recognized in fastboot mode

I spent the whole day yesterday trying to find a solution, I think it's because of the drivers(maybe).

If I open the fastboot option while having it pluged in, the flash tool recognizes it just for a second when it's loading the fastboot and then it won't recognize it again.

Shown in this recording: streamable . com/1v0kt

I used this tutorial for ZTE Blade A452 (delete spaces) :

getdroidtips . com/stock-rom-zte-blade-a452/

I used the same tools and files the guide has, I tried downloading many drivers for A452 but none made any diference.

I don't know if I'm doing something else wrong.

I'd appreciate any help, thanks
