Then see if you get an alphanumeric response.. If so, try using fastboot cmds to install your FW. If it succeeds, you'll get normal fastboot mode back and you can do whatever ya need

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bordroid:
Gone are the days where it was easy to root and even encrypt androids. Now with these locked boot loaders, not no downgrade its becoming a hassle. Thankfully, its becoming obsolete to root.

Ive been trying to root and encrypt an s7 edge but its near im possible always push one thing and another pops out. Iv tried various roms on nougat, tried a few when i was on MM but i flashed the BL and now downgrading is a hassle. The idiots even use solidrars so you cant modify the roms to use different sets of BL.

Ive not come across ANY s7 edge thats rooted and enrypted even on custom roms.

Its either become rooted with the risk of data in rong hands through flashing recovery, should it get stolen or no root but stay completely stock which is just as bad.

Anyone have a guide or anything that will make the s7e encrypted and rooted? I not bothered about not being able to flash throu twrp as lng as it cant decrypt it. even better if twrp could decrypt with password but thats probably asking too much lool !

I dont want to go on 8.0 yet, as it could flash BL and no more nougat.

Any one have a guide or anything thatl make it encrypted with root ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] troy00:
This custom ROM is as close to stock as possible less the unnecessary bloat, with root AND has the ability to encrypt. There is an earlier version (5.4?) which is Nougat and the current version is Oreo. Make sure you follow the instructions and then you'll have an encrypted rooted phone running Nougat or even Oreo:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] maxlords:
Ok guys, new here and I've done a bit of reading on this already. From what I gather, the S7 Edge is difficult if not impossible to unlock without a factory reset. Here's the issue.

This phone belongs to my friend's husband who was severely injured in an accident at work. He's in a coma and probably won't survive. He was severely burned over 90% of his body with chemicals and he has no fingerprints to unlock the fingerprint scanner. In addition, his wife doesn't know his password, so I figured I'd see if I could do anything for her. I tried the Dr. Fone program, but it's apparently incompatible with the S7 Edge. He keeps getting texts and messages and we can't check them. The phone is also set for a daily alarm at 1:30 AM, and apparently you can't power it down without the lock code either. Ideally, I'd like to either gain access for her or at least extract what data we can from the thing before factory resetting it. It would also be nice to power it down so that it doesn't keep putting out an alarm every night in the middle of the night. All his contacts with his family are inconveniently stored in the phone as well. It's kind of a worst case scenario.

Any assistance or recommendations for a course of action for this situation would be fantastic. I don't have any other information on the device itself other than that it's running on Freedom Mobile's network in Ontario, Canada. They've said they can factory reset it for her, but we were trying to avoid that and get any contacts or messages from his phone if possible.

Thanks in advance for any help! I know it's a long shot!

Edit: I managed to power down the phone with the Power Button/Volume Down trick after about 9 tries, so at least the alarm won't go off. Other than that, no luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] UnNaMeD__:
Unique situation? More like fked up situation.

Anyways I am assuming its a completely stock phone with USB debugging turned off. Hope its not carrier locked, if yes then here are the steps:

1. Flash Custom Recovery on the Phone using Odin

2. Use aroma file manager from the Recovery, you need to download it separately, put it on its SD card.

3. Now using aroma file manager navigate to Data Folder and then; System Folder and find “gesture.key” or “password.key” for pattern lock or password lock respectively.

4. Delete those any password related file and reboot. It should be unlocked now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] maxlords:
Thanks VERY much, UnNaMeD__!!!

I'm looking at Odin and the Recovery firmware right now. Is there a recommended version? I see TWRP and CWM, but primarily TWRP mentioned, and it looks like the .tar files are easy to find. I'm pretty new to this type of mod and I don't want to brick the phone, I know it's a risk. I'm looking at faqs on theandroidsoul and the cyanogenmods forum which seem quite thorough. Apparently I can't post the links as I'm a new user here....seems fair I suppose, especially considering the forum content.

My friend's husband didn't have a microSD card in (just checked), but I can toss a spare one of mine in for Aroma, which I found. I probably need for format it for FAT32, not NTFS though? Is there any way to tell if it's carrier locked? It's from a small phone company, not one of the bigger guys. I'm going to wait until I hear back to get started on this, as I'm decent with Windows based systems, but unfamiliar with the nuances of modding Android. I use a stock Sony XZ Premium myself.

Again, thanks very much! I've got some hope we can get in touch with his family now! :D

Use odin 3.13 the latest

Then download twrp recovery 3.2.2.0 tar file for hero2lte the latest.

Boot your phone into odin mode by restarting your phone while holding power home button and vol down. When your reach the confirmation screen press OK.

Open odin and put the tar file in the ap slot and click the ap box and hit start to begin flashing.

Now restart ur phone by holding power home and vol down then immediately hold power home vol up to reach custom recovery.

Edit I just tested this myself

Flash the zip file from this thread no need to go looking for files in system.

Should remove password pin or pattern.

To check if it's network locked just look at the back of your phone if it says 935u or Verizon wireless or 935W8 then the phone is unlocked for different networks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] UnNaMeD__:
Just look at back of your phone and tell me its model, Like G935F. I will give you the correct recovery file. And recoveries have option to enable storage too so you can access data from computer. But to be honest it never worked for me. You could also give it a try before doing other steps.

You could contact on PM, or even better I could also help you over whatsapp if you wish.

And I never heard that you could brick phone by flashing recovery, maybe only if you flash incorrectly. A bad recovery will make recovery useless, but phone would still boot. Thats my experience.

I have broken password before of a Mediatek device. If you want I could try it on my own S7 Edge too to be 100% sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] maxlords:
I'll send you a PM as well, but I just checked and it's a G935W8. Sorry for the delay, I work shift work and I'm pretty busy. I'm going to work on the phone on the weekend. I don't have Whatsapp currently, but I can get it. Thanks again for your kindly assistance!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] UnNaMeD__:
Hey alright no problem.

Download TWRP for G935W8 from official TWRP website:

https://teamw.in/samsung/samsunggalaxys7edge.html

You can follow some instructions from this thread regarding flashing:

https://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/development/recovery-official-twrp-hero2lte-3-0-0-0-t3334084

Flashing TWRP might cause your phone to not boot. You will need to download dm-verity disabler from the thread above.

So download TWRP, Aroma file manager, dm-verity bypass, and zip file to disable pass that the other user posted: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2780696

Download all these files and put aroma file manager, dm-verity bypass and that password zip file bypass on your SD.

Make sure auto reboot is disabled in odin, follow instruction in thread about how to install twrp. If the auto reboot is disabled, phone will just remain at the same screen, so after the flashing is done from odin. You need to force reboot on your phone (volume down + power button for few seconds), just when the screen goes off, you need to immediately press recovery button combination (vol up + home + power). Here once you enter TWRP recovery see if you can enable MTP and trasnfer data to PC, if not, goto install zip and try password bypass zip file. If it works file then ok and proceed to install dm-verity bypass file and reboot your phone. If that zip doesn't works. You need to go to same install zip file option and now install aroma file manager. From there delete the password files that I told you about earlier, flash dm-verity and reboot again.

Thats it, if get confused about a step, tell me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] maxlords:
Well, I attempted to install TWRP through the latest version of Odin, but it didn't work. The error message I got in Recovery/Download mode was:

"Custom Binary (RECOVERY) Blocked By FRP Lock."

I looked that up online and apparently to install TWRP, I need to remove the FRP lock. I found a program called RealTerm which can supposedly bypass the FRP lock, but it doesn't seem to be connecting to the locked phone and it's not exactly user friendly.

Am I missing something here? Or is there no way to bypass the FRP lock on the unit?

Pimp Down!

Lately i have been getting this Out of Memory exception Error ALOT. I am running IFONZ with not many customizations and no animations, and i run S2U and S2P from time to time, but anytime i have S2P open in the background and try to open any other app i get the out of memory error or the music starts to skip, DRIVING ME CRAZY. So i am asking of all of the different ROMs available which would be suggested that would have the largest amount of program memory available at startup, and would manage memory the best. Also if there is an App that will regulate memory on a consistent basis (when a program closes, reallocate that mem back to free prog. memory) then i think that would also be a possible solution to my problem. Anyone who can offer some help to a Pimp in Distress will be greatly appreciated.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] joe4x2:
I had this exact problem a few days ago and it drove me nuts.....My problem was i forgot to hit keylock while it was in my pocket and it started a voice record and recorded from my pocket and created an 80MB voice file which was all I had left in my free memory on the phone. I just went through file explorer and started to delete large files to make room and found that file by accident. Once removed it solved my problems. I also found about a dozen pictures of the inside of pocket that the camera had taken. ha ha ha.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] marriotheblackguy:
You should also look into getting a tool to recover memory such as the oxios or even using the hybernate function in quickmenu. Also move as much as you can to your SD card to include games photos etc...Nex and DCD offer great stripped down ROMs without the OEM bloat.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] HighOnLinux:
Well since I flashed the Unofficial version of LineageOS 15.1 earlier and then decided to flash back to OxygenOS, everything seems to be all good, except when I boot into the OS. I get prompted to enter my PIN and when I enter the RIGHT pin, it says it's incorrect. But I enter the same PIN to decrypt my data in TWRP. I factory reset the phone, still no luck. I'll try to find more ways to get back in but for now i'd take any help I could get.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mikex8593:
You'll probably need to wipe everything to disable incorrect pin, including internal storage. If you flashed OOS without deleting lock screen, it makes the OS "forget" the correct pin.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] HighOnLinux:
Actually I wiped the ART/ Dalvik Cache, System, and Data and it didn't work. So what I didn't realize what I did wrong was keep the PIN over on Lineage so I flashed back to it, disabled the PIN, reflashed OxygenOS, and now it's PIN-free. But thank you for the help, it's really appreciated.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mikex8593:
That would've been your avenue, had you not had a backup to restore to. Always remember to delete your lock screen before changing system to avoid the issue. Glad it's fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] KruseLudsMobile:
Years ago I was told by Verizon that "No, you cannot change the Caller ID" that is shown for your cell number when you call someone. So, I lived with it showing "New Jersey" like an idiot for a couple of years. Later on their website I discovered you could change it yourself, so I made it "Kruse Ludington". Fortunately my name fit, because they only let you have 15 characters. So my daughter had to be stuck with "Olivia Ludingto". Now, I recently noticed they changed it to "KRUSE LUDINGTON 201.925.4410". So, you could have had it longer but they just decided upon some arbitrary limit previously which now does not apply. Also, evidently whatever text you now specify, they force it to be all uppercase and they then slap your phone number on the end, whether you like it or not. WTF? I called tech support today and had to be stuck on the phone for 30 minutes for this BS. They were not able to change it and said they would call me back tomorrow. Give me a freaking break...

I changed mine to Greg Dish Tech - which only shows up on landlines. If I call a Cell it says Illinois with my phone number :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] KruseLudsMobile:
Well, my family thinks I am insane but Verizon called me back about this - FOUR TIMES because I told them I would not let it go - until this last phone call today. Never got it fully resolved but gave up. I was working with someone on their level 2 support...

I thought it was worthwhile at least to record all the information I have here. My cell carrier is Verizon. I used to have Verizon FiOS and a land line through them. Recently I made the following changes: ported the land line phone number over to Ooma. Cancelled the FiOS service and got Optimum Online for internet only - and separately the Dish Network. The way the Ooma works, you buy a unit from them, plug it into the phone and into the internet via Ethernet - and "boom" - you gave a working phone, basic service is FREE (except the monthly $4 or so for taxes). The phone line is also connected to the back of the Dish Hopper 3 so it can show caller ID when a call comes into the house.

So there you have my setup used for viewing incoming caller ID.

Through the Verizon website and on the phone app, you can update your caller ID (they call it "Share Name ID") for your cell phone number. Whatever you think you typed, when you go back to check it you will see they make it all upper case. It will show up as:

"<FIRST NAME> <LAST NAME>" ###.###.####

After all the calls the 2nd level support guy reached out to a service that Verizon uses to manage their caller ID - called "New Star". He put a specific request in with them to update my three cell numbers to mixed case for the first and last names. End result - they swapped my first and last names - why ? Who knows:

"Ludington Kruse ###.###.####"

and the other cell numbers? No change - all upper case.

So there you have it. Argh$&-+°¥€€π=

[Android Head-Units] lvdabeach:
I’m new to this and really appreciate any help.

Just recently installed the Xtrons D719AS single din head unit with android 7.1.1 in a new project jeep CJ7 I’m working on with my dad.

We installed it without using an external amp. Wired the speakers directly to the ISO. (Probably both a bad idea)

We tested using the 2 front speakers at first, everything worked and sounded great.

Then we hooked up the rear 2 speakers and tested with all 4 speakers.

It was all working and sounded great for about 10 minutes, then after raising the volume up about half way or so the sound shut off. The radio kept working with no sound. All functions on the radio work fine but not a peep of sound from any source.

We removed all power from the head unit (unplugged ISO) for about 30 minutes, removed rear speakers (tested with only 2 front), did a factory reset on the head unit with no change. Still no sound.

Did we blow something in the radio? Maybe an internal amp fuse?

If we hookup an external amp and use the RCA connections would the sound possibly work? (Bypassing the internal amp I guess).

Also this head unit does not have a blue/white wire for amp. Only a blue wire for ANT. Should the external amp go on the ANT wire or just hook it up to a Accessory/ignition line?

Also can anyone tell me what the pink wire (reverse) is for on the ISO?

Is that for the radio to know when reverse is on for the reverse camera?

I can return (to China) for repair, but would rather try and fix myself if possible.
