NEED HELP!

In 2013 , I owned galaxy s2 , play with roots and roms for years , and now afer 7 years I decide to come back to play with my s7 edge , but may be my old informarion is outdate , I flashed different version if lineage 17 and 16 , and I get a bootloop!

Okay what I did or how I flash the rom?

1. Download rom file and gapps in my computer

2. I root my stock rom oreo and flash TWRP recovery through odin

3. I go to recovery mode and format data, advanced wipe to system and data and dalvik and cahche an internal storage , everything

4. Mount my phone to computer and transfer rom and gapp files in my internal storage

5. I flash both of them and successfully installed , wipe dalvik and cahce .

6. Then reboot to system

7. I get bootloop

I try everything , different TWRP version , lineage 17 and 16 , flash rom with differnet gapps , flash rom without gapps , waiting up to 6 hours , flash rom then reboot to recovery and check system box in mount then install gapps , all of that didn't work!

And by all my past experience I can't figure why that happening, I searched online but find casual solution like fresh install or wipe cache and dalvik and thats stuff (already test it)

I back to stock rom oreo , my model is SM-G935FD s7 edge and still on it after lash try today and also get a bootloop.

I am sure this is great effort, but unfortunately I can't even see it boot in my phone

Tell me if my way is old or changed over these years

If any one can help , I will be appreciated

Thank you

Edit: after read here that's make me write this

In my old s2 I didn't deal with and bootloader unlock or that stuff, I heard this new when I get this phone (month ago) from my brother , who's already in custom rom , so I didn't unlock that thing called bootloader ( I know what is it after I search , but no experience with that) , I get it unlocked and I flash stock rom , why I said that ? because I read here about something old bootloader or something similar , and because I didn't have any problem in booting with stock rom which I flashed it many times.

So is this may be the issue or not ?

And if is it, how I update it or fix it ?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Dark Stranger:
You must run all wipes, install the rom and gapps and magisk, if you want the device to be rooted. And then have the device restarted, it is not necessary to perform the other wipes that you are running. If you still have the bootloop problem, I suggest you install the latest version for your device via odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ahmad Ryashi:
Thank to you for respond

I did all of that , I wrote everything I had tested , and Wiping one of them and sill haveb bootlop :(

It really hurt

What do you mean with latest version vid odin ? TWRP or stock or what ?

if it TWRP , it's the latest , and if it's stock rom , I flash latest without any problem

but I want this rom :(

Ooooooooooooooooh , CAN't BELIEVE THAT , IT'S WORKED FINALLLY

what I did ?

simply flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 before installing the rom , and boot just under 5 minute!!!

Toooo Excited...

" I try to flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 after flash rom and get bootloop , but when I flash it before it's worked"

For the Viper4Fx tutorial/trick that i made is correct but for the AML part i don't really know because it was true when the beta 6 was there but in the beta 9 or 8 (i don't really remember) i was able to remove AML, i think AML is really needed when you install Viper4Fx, and that you don't need it after it is installed, if this is true it while be great but i don't have others phone to test this on it, so maybe you can test that in your side:fingers-crossed:

Hi, I'm looking to run lineage on my daily phone. my old s5 had it and i loved it. I remember getting banking and google pay to work on that. Will those work in this build? also how's the camera quality compared to the Samsung one? thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] thebigworld:
As a daily driver, sometimes it reboot without any reasons.. No wifi calls are possible despite the correct csc. Overnight charge stuck the phone when it reach 100% so the alarm clock don't awake you. It is the same issue in another custom rom (FloydQ for eg). See https://github.com/ananjaser1211/FloydQ_8890/issues/7

I don't use banking and google pay.

If you hide magisk from banking apps, it will be good. Else you may have a warning or not able to use the app.

Regarding camera, sometimes the camera app crash when taking a picture and I feel that the quality is lower. I prefer using FloydQ rom despite cons mentioned for that rom and the testing stage. I feel that the camera is better.

Else the rest is OK.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Rowanv:
Thanks! FloydQ looks good too. losing NFC and fingerprint authentication is a shame. I think I'll probably stick with Samsung Experience for now, or do you think going with lineageOS 16 or another android 9 ROM would be a better bet?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] thebigworld:
You will loose nfc but not fingerprint. The only issues I have with fingerprint is for 2 apps: Caisse d'epargne (french bank app) and keepass. NFC will be fixed (with many other problems like overnight charge and over heating) in the next release which gonna appear soon (maybe around mid of june).

FloydQ is like your stock samsung but under android 10. You will have one ui like you have with your stock rom and with the correct csc, wifi calls. You will have other Samsung features except smart cases.

But it is up to what you want. Lineage is fully open source with few proprietary samsung elements and floydQ contains all samsung apps (and spys??)

I tried 3h lineage 16.0 so I cannot say much things. Else, I didn't try other roms so I can't tell you.

My girlfriend is under lineage build 10 and I'm under FloydQ (yes we have the same phone ? s7 edge) and she gonna switch soon to floydQ.

quick progress update(didn't post one of those in a while) on how rebase is going, right now its pretty much up and running completely cleaned up with few issues one of them being bluetooth (surprisingly enough wifi is just fine) expect builds based on new source after bluetooth issues are sorted, Also big thanks to everyone who supported this project so far as it wouldn't be possible without them

Mic issues for headset in all apps but Google ones

Hi all,

I have been having issue with my headset microphones for several months now (and read quite a few others have too), and I decided today to do a full wipe of my phone, flash everything again, but alas nothing has changed :(

I really don't know what to do anymore... I seems that most folk have no issue with the mic, so any ideas why mine is acting up? The strangest of all is that it work perfectly well for all Google apps, but other voice recorders or WhatsApp (that what I really use it for) crash when I try and use the mic. The apps will freeze and after 15 sec register a file that has no sound, but is a few seconds long (nothing registered).

I've checked all permissions, have disables mic permissions for all apps but WhatsApp (an vice versa), installed different apps that use the mic to test, and everything seems to be failing...

Any help or insights would be most appreciated!

The code for the audio is in rewrite wait the next few beta the new code should fix all of the audio problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] pieterjanvc:
Oh that sounds promising!

I did find this android developers post that might help explain why in android 10 this could be happening: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/sharing-audio-input

Looking forward to next update then!

Just wanted to say thanks for your work, just started using LineageOS for the first time and i'm loving it so far, should have done it sooner!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
Thank you very much Ivan for your work. I hope that I could make you happy with my donation.

The latest build is the fastest and most efficient build I have ever seen on this phone. With the battery manager I limited those apps that drained the most energy. My phone can last two days like this.

I noticed two bugs :

The alarm don't show the typical screen, where you can dismiss or snooze the alarm. It can not unlock the lock screen. I have to unlock the lock screen in order to snooze the alarm.

Second I don't know if this is a bug, but I activated the data saver and only allowed Google services, Maps and WhatsApp. However I got a notification from Outlook. I was on mobile data, so I wonder how that could have happened.

Ivan keep up the good work. If you ever change the developer phone, let me know. I'll buy it, too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Lifear:
OK, i think something is wrong with my setup, specially regarding the fingerprint issue. When i start the phone in Recovery mode with TWRP, im prompted for the password. If i enter a wrong password, i get the message "...password failed..." and it asks for the password again, but when i enter the correct one, the password is accepted and it tries to decrypt the data partition. However now i get the error message "Failed to decrypt data". After this, i can install the ROM. Could it be the case, that this has something to do with my fingerprint issue? I havent seen this error message on a older setup...

I have now wiped the data (however i get also a message that data could get decrypted) and installed the old LineageOS 16 ROM. Now i have the problem again, also with LineageOS 16 and Keepass2Android and Fingerprint. I have updated TWRP to 3.3.1.0, maybe it doesnt work as expected? What is the recommended TWRP version? Is this error message a problem or can i ignore it? If this is a problem, is there some workaround, to get the partition decrypted? It's no problem, when i loose all the data, there is nothing installed on the phone which is important...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] zzz2002:
Dumb ? coming up.

I had a problem with my S7 edge, to get it checked check out I had to reinstall the Samsung software (Android 8).

Now I want to switch back to Ivan's SW, but the bloody thing is now encrypted! How do I get rid of the encryption?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] colla_76:
Maybe installing twrp recovery

Good Job!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] zzz2002:
Thanks, I had already dome that but could not get lineage to install.

Needed to "format data". That solved the problem

So the process seems to be, install to get modem and BL up to date. install TWRP, install lineage, format data, reinstall lineage.

I am not sure the first lineage install is really necessary.

But without it I would end up in a boot loop.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
Why do you want to install it like this? Just use the Magisk Module to install it systemlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Mowca:
it the same?? Which module is it exactly?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
If you search for Busybox in Magisk, there is only one module available. You can't miss it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
Is it just me or is the indicator for the signal strength not working? No matter what I do, it is always at zero. However I have a signal.

EDIT:

Today I had a critical crash that resulted in a reboot. Unfortunately it killed something. Do you know these crashes where it deletes some kind of cache?

I needed to repeat my login to Spotify, OneNote and several other apps. When the crash occurred, I had Google Maps open and the display was on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] zigibajc:
Crash

Happened to me to, i had to login to messenger again, and some other apps. My phone also likes to restart often or crashes. Other than camera and voice in calls and also signal strength visual problems everything is solid. I've been using it for 3 months now.

Can it be used as daily driver?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
It turned out to be a problem with encryption. After I encrypted my device, some time /days after that it crashed. Then my encryption were removed and I had to login to some of my apps.

Funny thing: After I flashed a module in Magisk, the signal indicator was working.

Been using for a few weeks now and loving it, just wanted to ask if Wifi Calling is available? I had a look on the first page of the thread and couldn't see it mentioned as not working? When i was on stock it worked fine for me but i can't see an option for it anywhere?

Hi, great work on this. Was my first time ever rooting a phone and adding a ROM to it.

I have run into a problem and I was hoping for some help.

My phone once in a while will randomly reboot and once completely froze and i need to force it out use power+home+down volume keys.

I want to know if you think it could have been a mistake i have done on my end with loading it up? Any assistance would be great.

I used a guide on YouTube and installed Lineage 17.1 with Magisk 20.4 and Gapps 10.0 full.

I don't know if the Gapps type I used could make a difference, i just wanted most of the preload google apps on the phone from the start.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] thebigworld:
Hi,

I had issues sometimes with this rom.

The rom floydQ works better from my POV but it is based of stock rom.

Usually, I prefer open source solution but for now, floydQ works better ?.

Another progress update, Builds on top of new source should be up with July security update they have been tested and seem to perform as expected so far, After those builds are up more work will be going on with selinux and after that builds could go official, Furthermore this also brings possibility for Note FE los builds .

Once again big thanks to everyone who supported this project as it helps offset server cost (Those servers are also used to compile test builds you dont get to see but are really helpful when working on something as masive as this rebase) and get me a coffee, Also really sorry i havent followed thread lately as i have been busy with tons of other stuff but hopefuly everything will get back on track soon with new builds, Once again big thanks to everyone who supported this project so far and stay safe

Could you provide a way to contribute to your project, by reporting issues to e. g. Github or similar platforms?

I am not sure if you read or track reported logcats.

I only mean qualified error reports, no reports like "Bluetooth is not working".

Approximately when will the security update go through.

I ask only because I screwed up my device, and it looks as though I will need to do a complete wipe and install. If the security update is close then I will live with the screw up and wait.

You will most likely be able to dirty flash an update, if it is released.

Yes, you can always go back to stock rom from anytype of rom.

Hey,

so I try to update the latest version of this ROM from the previous one, but keep ending up in a bootloop. I do the usual steps, that have always worked so far; create backup, wipe dalvik and cache, install the rom, install nano gapps and then reboot. Been waiting for up to 20 minutes, but its stuck in bootloop. i also tried with micro and pico gapps, same result.

Any idea, what i might be doing wrong?

Thanks for any help (:

Hi Community,

I have only one Question.

First of All. Great great work ivan. Thank you for your work.

Does anybody know, how I can install New versions of this os?

I installed the version of may. Can I update the version via twrp, or only with a complete reset (dalvik system, cache etc.)?

Thanks in advance.

Chris

I clean reinstalled 20200603 build, plus the gapps Nano 20200714, and magisk debug.

I am now unable to save sms/mms attachments.

What have I screwed up or is this a known problem?

Is there a solution?

TIA

Update: It looks as though other apps are having a similar problems. Camera, XDA.

------

I just did a clean install.

Interestingly, it took 4 attempts to format data with TWRP.

Normally if you try to reboot after formatting data you get a warning msg. On the 1st 3 attempts it just rebooted. On the 4th attempt I formatted data 3 times, before I got the warning!

Has anybody seen this behaviour before, anything known?

In the meantime I will report this to TWRP.

You can find the build and more info about it in Post 2 of this thread

Big thanks to everyone who supported this projhect so far as thats what made this possible, Also next build should have camera issues sorted and will be marked as stable

Tried camera, didn't work no surprise.

However, after trying camera I couldn't get anything to work. In order to have any function at all I had to restore my backup.

I think I wait for the next release.

Hello, Ivan. I flashed the experimental build from Post 2 several times today. First I noticed that the notification for SELinux doesn't appear. I assume this is intentional. But what still doesn't work is my fingerprint sensor in several apps. Among others Keepass2Android and KeepassDX. I can unlock the device and the scanner also works in andOTP but not in the other two mentioned apps. According to the message of Keepass2Android the fingerprint should not be able to be stored, because probably the key in Android changed during the process. But this is definitely not the case. I did not change anything there. In between, I flashed the current stock firmware again. In the Stock ROM all apps with the fingerprint sensor work as usual. Afterwards I installed the Experimental Build again. Here the sensor doesn't work like before. According to the developer of Keepass2Android this is probably due to a incorrect integration of the Android Keystore. I have no idea what this means or if you can do something about it.

Otherwise I have no problems with the ROM but at least for me the sensor is essential in the above mentioned apps. Could you please take a look at it or show me a way how I can get a solution?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] zzz2002:
Couldn't wait.

Installed 11 again, frooze camera just so I wouldn't be tempted.

Everything seemed to work well, device seemed a little warm, could be me.

Left phone charging overnight. Couldn't get it unlock in the am. I had had charging during previous day, no problem.

Tap device, lock screen, swipe, enter pin, got a blank black screen, 10 sec, back to lock screen. Repeat .....

Pressed power get menu, tried restart, power off/power on. Booted to recovery wiped caches. No change. Tried all the tricks I could think of. No change.

Reverted to backup.

Anything you would like me to try. Including staying quiet.
