[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rapidfayaround:
Recently, I turned off developer options in my rooted S7 Edge (SM-G935FD). Idk if that is the cause, but after rebooting I got the error "Custom Binary Blocked by FRP Lock". I couldnt boot into my recovery (TWRP) either. I was running on Oreo btw. I watched some Youtube guides and apparently the solution was to flash stock rom. So... I flashed an Oreo Stock Rom on my phone via Odin. I thought that would solve my problem, but instead it made it worse. It didnt give me the Custom Binary Blocked by FRP lock error but my boot screen is stuck at the boot animation (not a bootloop). I could boot into the stock recovery tho. I tried a factory reset, that didnt make things better. I could also boot into download mode. I thought I made a mistake, so I flashed like 5-8 times with both CSC an Home_CSC. The result was the same, it would get stuck at the boot animation. I tried flashing TWRP via Odin too, but it said "Custom Binary (Recovery) blocked by FRP Lock". I tried sideloading that TWRP file to my device via ADB. It gave me an error too (I think "Cannot flash from external devices" or something like that) I thought flashing with Re-partition and Nand Erase On would solve my problem, so I tried that, but it didnt work. Im running on Binary 3 apparently. Is there anything I can do?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rapidfayaround:
I still have the "FRP Lock: On" on download mode, so I tried bypassing FRP lock via binary 5 combination firmware and flashing a binary 7 stock firmware. This time, it doesnt get stuck at the boot animation, instead it redirects to a screen with an android face saying "Installing System updates". A few seconds later, it says "No command" with a dead android face. Then it reboots and the same thing happens. Basically a boot loop, but in a different way. I cant seem to boot to stock recovery either. The worst thing is that I cant even turn off the thing. I have to leave it loop for the entire day until its battery dies
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Youdoofus:
after flashing the combination firmware, flash the stock firmware and go thru the boot process
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rapidfayaround:
That is what I literally did. I flashed a combination firmware, factory rested my entire phone, turned on developer options as well as allow usb debugging, attempted to reset FRP via Z3X Samsung Tool Pro and finally flashed a stock rom. And, the result is this. A bootloop with an android face dying. I did manage to enter a different screen by pressing volume up once along with pressing volume down and power button. It said "could not open recovery_because_no file directory" and had some more errors. The thing is....I made it worse at the first place. I could have flashed a room with binary 6 or lower, cuz at least the combination firmware would have been available to flash, but my stupid brain did not think of that. I flashed a binary 7 stock rom and there is no combination firmware with a binary of 7 or more. Which means, I will most likely get the "SW check fail Device: 7 Binary: 6 " error while flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Dark Stranger:
If the device is still entering download mode, install the recent version of stock for your device. Maybe that will solve your problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Youdoofus:
the "no such file or directory" error is due to either having had removed stock recovery in flashing the firmwares or the factory recovery corrupted due to likely the same reason. Just flash a revision 7 firmware for your phone and it will at least boot

^^^ this ^^^
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rapidfayaround:
I have literally flashed the latest stock rom for my device and my country which is G935FXXS7ESK8.

I am a bit confused tho...I am not sure if my device is SM-G935FD or SM-G935F. The download mode says SM-G935F...but this phone used to work with a SM-G935FD rom back in the days. Is this causing the problem most likely? And btw the repair shop said they cant fix it too
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] PseudoNoob:
I am somehow relieved to know that someone else on this planet is on the same (EXACT) boat as me....this is what we get for messing around too much with our phone hum?

1 - After booting up my phone I get the blue background with a dead Android and "No Command" message

2 - I tried accessing recovery by pressing Power+Home+VolumeUp, but all I get is a black screen with a wall of code lines with "fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)" at the beggining of the text.

3 - "No problem! I'll just flash TWRP with ODIN and install a custom ROM and be done with it!".

..NOPE! FRP(factory reset protection) is ON!!! I cannot install TWRP

4- I've tried to find a combination file with binary version 7...but looks like the internet doesn't seem to care about the good ol' number 7...All I can find is binary version 6.

What Im trying to do now is creating my own combination file binary version 7 (if that's even a thing...) from a stock firmware. But I'm not getting any luckier down this path.

Looks like we need a hero...:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rapidfayaround:
OMGGGGGGGG....Looks like I am not the only one. DAMN. Bro...tell me if you find a solution ok? Hopefully there is a way to solve this problem...there has to be one. And share your combination firmware after you finish it. Thank you very much
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] PseudoNoob:
No luck over here friend...

Desperate times require desperate measures. Have you ever tried flashing combination files from different S7 Edge versions?

I can find files for the G935A with a revision 7 of the binary...Im thinking flashing it into my G935F and see what happens. I've read the risks associated with installing firmwares from other phone versions, but I'll have a paperweight either way.

I'll keep this thread updated.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] UsmaniMustafa:
Doesn't really matter if you have a F or FD. I'd say you flash the latest stock rom for G935F or FD(which ever is latest) for any country regardless. By this you should be able to boot and won't get any odin errors.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rapidfayaround:

Hi guys, I have the exact same problem with my S7 edge from T-mobile (g935t). Odin will only accept for flash the latest rom and after flash it reboots but I get BSOD. I tried a pit file also from an old g935T rom which was android 6.0 and I managed to get into recovery for a moment and I did a factory reset/wipe cache but after reboot entered again in a black screen and the blue led was lit. I finally removed the battery to turn the phone off. I can still enter download mode but is there anything else I can do to resurrect the phone?

Samsung s7 edge (g935f)

Hi everyone , please am having issue of NO COMMAND and i cant boot into recovery. My oem is on so i cant install twpr neither. Am on binary u8. Please any solution to recover my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rapidfayaround:
Very very good new guys...yep you guessed it right. I was able to fix this problem.

How you may ask? Follow these steps

Note: Make sure you have enough battery. Lack of battery charge in my case caused alot of problems.

1. Download a U7 Rom for your SM-G935F or SM-G935FD

2. Extract the Rom as well as the AP

3. After you extract the AP, you will be greeted with boot.lz4.img , recovery.lz4.img , system.lz4.img & meta-data

4. Make a backup of recovery.lz4.img and meta-data just in case. Also, make a copy of boot.lz4.img and rename the copied one to recovery.lz4.img. Don't forget to delete the original recovery and meta-data

5. Now, you should be left with boot.lz4.img , (modified) recovery.lz4.img and system.lz4.img.

6. Now, download this https://www.mediafire.com/file/ah20ha869prdkkc/Autotar2.0_By_FixFirmwares.com.rar/file

7. Now, make a .md5 file that contains (modified) recovery.lz4.img and system.lz4.img

8. After you are done making that .md5, flash it along with CSC, CP and BL.

9. You should directly boot into your device, (if you do), charge your phone for a while if the battery is lower than 20%.

10. Then, go to the settings and enable OEM Unlock before doing ANYTHING

11. Then, reboot to download mode and flash TWRP

12. Download the no-verity-encryption.zip

https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfe

13. Allow system modifications and format data (NOT WIPE)

14. If that doesn't work, go to TWRP, connect it to your PC and copy the no-verity-encryption.zip file and install it

15. If that still doesn't work then, follow this tutorial

https://www.google.com/amp/s/xdafor...niversal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389/amp/

16. Then, you should boot and yea...enjoy ?

If this method doesn't work then, you need to try different combinations.

Try packing these files in AP

1. Boot.lz4.img, (Modified) Recovery.lz4.img & system.lz4.img

2. (Modified) Recovery.lz4.img & system.lz4.img

3. Meta-data, Boot.lz4.img, (Modified) Recovery.lz4.img & system.lz4.img

If that doesn't work, I'm sorry this is how I fixed it. ?*♂️

For anyone wondering how I fixed it well, firstly a HUGE THANKS TO [MENTION=8204134]shah22[/MENTION] & [MENTION=9887151]Tapas27s[/MENTION]Tapas2. This would have been LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT THEM. So, basically I tried an AP with renamed recovery.lz4.img and system.lz4.img only along with CP, CSC and BL. Due to my phone having literally 0%, this journey was very difficult.

Feel free to ask any question

this option cant work because cant flash u7 on u8 as my bootloader is u8

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
My guide still applies to any firmware if you have turned off oem unlock + facing dm verity error (which doesn't go away after flashing stock rom)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Raydavis1:
as am on u8 do i have to download u7 firmware for it to work or?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
No, just download u8 firmware for ur country, extract it through 7zip/win rar and then extract ap file through 7zip/win rar, copy system and boot.img.lz4 files to a new folder, rename boot.img to recovery.img, then repack these two files system and renamed boot as recovery to tar.md5 using auto tar tool..

Delete .md5 extension while extraction, so that 7zip/win rar can see ur file as an archive..

Also auto tar tool needs to be in the same folder as the files you want to repack..

Flash that modified ap alongwith bl, cp and CSC (not home_csc) and boot into your phone and then first thing is to enable oem unlock, then you can use any custom recovery/rom etc

good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rapidfayaround:
Wait...so, I did my research wrong. Apparently, THERE IS A U8 FIRMWARE FOR SM-G935F

Just do what [MENTION=8204134]shah22[/MENTION] tells you to do

Download a U8 firmware

Extract it

Extract the AP using winrar or 7zip

Make a copy of boot.lz4.img and rename it to recovery.lz4.img (lets call it renamed recovery for now)

Make a tar file consisting system.lz4.img and renamed recovery.lz4.img using the autotar software I provided earlier

Flash that AP along with CP, CSC & BL

(Note: Autotar files should be in the same folder as system.lz4.img & renamed recovery.lz4.img)

And yea...it should boot

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
In the last steps, you can flash turbo luke's twrp instead of official twrp, then select format option in twrp wipe, then flash no-verity-force-encrypt from here https://build.nethunter.com/android...-encrypt/no-verity-force-encrypt-6.0.zip.sha1

Then flash magisk from here : https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v20.4

In all of doing this, don't swipe for system modifications in twrp, it is basically useless and obsolete now, as magisk does everything without modifying system.

Ofcourse, this only applies to stock rooted rom and stock based debloated custom roms (which have non-modified system)

S7 Edge SM - G935F

Hello guys,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, SM-G935F, and after a software update the phone won't start.

First i manage to put it in download mode, flash it with Odin and install G935FXXS8ETC3_G935FROM8ETC1_ROM, the rom for my country, download it from sammobile.com.

After that, it remain block when the Samsung Logo appear on the screen, and after a few force restart using the Volume down and power key, the phone remain complete block. Won't charge, it's not show the charging led, any combination of key don't work, nothing. I can't enter in safe mode, download mode, or something else ....

What I observe today, if I connect the phone to the computer, and press the power button, windows 'make the sound of finding a new device' , but this is all, nothing else happens with the phone. When i release the power button, windows 'discconect' the device.

I don't know what to do .... if i can do something.

I hope you guys can help me.

Thanks a lot for your time. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Looks like some kind of hardware damage..

But it can be that your phone is freezed on a black screen loop

Try holding vol down+home+power button while connected to a charger, and the moment it vibrates or shows any sign of life .. immediately release these keys and re-hold them.. this should get you in download mode, once its in dl mode keep it connected to a charger..

We need to know your exact model no and country details.. also which update you received and which firmware was installed before all this happened.. also do you have oem unlock enabled in developer options ?

If you can't get in dl mode in anyway then i fear you got some kinda hardware damage and it could only be repaired in phone service centers.. and it is very unlikely that a software update/flash would cause hardware damage .. maybe unlucky :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] GOS89:
I try hold vol down+home+power for almost 2 minutes right now, and nothing happens.

The phone model is SM-G935F, and i flash it with this G935FXXS8ETC3 FIRMWARE (Android 8.0.0, downloaded on sambile.com)

I don't know what firmware was before ...

I don't know if I have oem unlock enabled in developer options, i don't remember to go there anytime
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
If its not hardware damage, its either battery drained out + phone bricked due to wrong firmware flash

Or phone gets stuck on blackscreen bootloop..

Only while connected to a charger and forcing a reboot and then immediately going in download mode to reflash can remedy this..

If none of the above then its very possibly a hardware damage ;(

Also i suspect that your phone is a modified one.. any chance you bought it second hand ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] GOS89:
I make a 'home invention' to block the button (volume down+power+home), i put it on charge, and I left him like that until tomorrow to see if something happen.

It's not second hand, I buy it from a store in my country, brand new. It's second time when i flash it. It.s not the wrong firmware.

Before i flash it last time, i got the an error with the blue led on and black screen. And after a hard restart he come back to life.

I hope i can do something with him :D.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] M.Ned:
So basically, we are tricking the phone by making it think it's booting up the recovery while it actually boots up the OS. This sounds brilliant and I have the exact same problem you are having but I left it to a local repairer with z3x octoplus chimera stuff etc. Tomorrow I'm gonna try your method and see if it works. Gonna update this reply once I try it. Hope it works...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] M.Ned:
I did manage to boot into OS by your trick but now I am greeted with data corrupt, data need to be formatted screen. Since there is no recovery to boot, when I tap Reset it just reboots into the same screen. Guess my phone is dead now.

Edit: I flashed U5 combination firmware after bootlooping again. After combination firmware I flashed the modified AP file with system and "renamed to recovery boot file". But this time I chose HOME CSC instead of normal CSC and the phone booted up just fine.

Enabled OEM Unlocking

Reflashed stock firmware with non modified AP

It gave me dead android error again but this time with no FRP Lock or no Locked Bootloader

I flashed stock TWRP with Odin

Formatted Data (Not wipe data, the Format Data option on the right when you open Wipe menu)

Flashed Magisk

Flash no dm verity file and booted up the phone

And voila, the phone works now thanks to your guide. Hope if anyone faces the same issue can fix their device with your guide.
