[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] aiamkul:
~ Ideally do a full backup before flashing ROM.

I'll do that from now on, I've learnt my lesson.

~ How did you flash stock ROM? Was it with Odin?

Yes it was with Odin.

~ When you go to about phone, is there an IMEI number?

Yes thankfully I haven't lost the IMEI number.

~ Which variant of S7 do you have? Which variant of stock ROM did you flash?

I have the SM-G935FD, Idk why but it shows SM-G935F in download mode but I'm pretty sure I have the FD version since mine is Duos.

I flashed the SM-G935FD Stock ROM.

~ What is your country and telecom provider?

My country is India and Telecom provider is Jio.

~ Does the CSC of the stock ROM you flashed match this?

CSC does match. It's the Indian CSC.

My question is, if it is indeed a corrupted EFS, will flashing an EFS of the same ROM variant fix the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Eggleston11:
Sounds like you did everything right. Can try redownload and reflash to ensure file isn't corrupted. Latest is ideal. Presumably ur doing the flashing part right because ur telling me u can boot. EFS is unique to ur phone. It wont be anywhere on the internet. Doesn't sound corrupted because u said u can still get 2G. That's all I can suggest for you for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] aiamkul:
I was wondering, can I try flashing the G935F rom from another country and flash the G935FD CSC of India? Will that make any difference? I can't find the G935F INS version anywhere while the G935FD INS is available
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Eggleston11:
Not reccomended. I've never tried so I don't know what will happen. I mean, worst case u can just flash the one you aready have. Probably no benefit over flashing the ROM that is compatible with ur phone. Could be worth trying Jio specific ROM. Just checking yours is G935FD and therefore the dual sim variant. If that is the case FD ROM is reccomended.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] aiamkul:
SInce it shows that I am using the Indian CSC, the CSC part seems fine. I'm guessing it has something to do with the device id. It might be G935F as it's showing in Download mode. But again, it has dual sim slot. One dedicated and one hybrid. I can't figure out what is wrong here
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] aiamkul:
Also if it helps, there's a serial number on the back of my device. That does not match with the Serial Number it shows in the settings

Edit: Yeah those 2 might be different

Click on start-->settings-->connections-->Beam. Check the box to receive incoming beams and try again.

mate you are an absolute god send :D i switched beam off to save battery power after reading the tips sticky on here lol.thank you and all the very best for 2009.
[Touch HD General] crajee:
Hmmm.. Doesn't seem to be as simple. I have to try several times before a file goes through. Cabs are not allowed anyway to be received by HD (I think enhanced security against virii).

One thing that works is deleting and re-pairing the device (of course make sure "Beam receive" is turned on!) but again this works once to thrice only - you need to re-pair again..:( sure looks like some bug there. This has happened even before adding any apps to my HD (to rule out that possibility).
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
Google Is Adding New Battery Tools To Android 14

Android is finally bringing in a popular iOS feature.

www.forbes.com

Taking inspiration from the iPhone's battery tools, Pixel phone users are set to get a major battery boost in an upcoming Android update.

The new feature will give a more detailed breakdown of the state of a Pixel device’s battery, which will be under a new “battery health” section in the settings menu. Spotted in Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2 by Android Authority, the yet-to-be released update will show users how much charge a Pixel battery can currently hold, which will be shown as a percentage.

That means Pixel users, and potentially other Android phone owners, will be able to see how much their phone’s battery has degraded. For example, before someone buys a second-hand phone they will be able to see if the battery’s capacity is significantly less than compared to when it was new.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ApeironTsuka:
This is also known as pulling up a terminal and comparing `/sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_full` (last full charge capacity) and `/sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_full_design` (full capacity as designed). Simple division (`charge_full` / `charge_full_design`) to give you a percentage. A PR to Termux (specifically termux-api) to add support for returning this info in `termux-battery-info` should probably be made, honestly.

It's good that Google is finally exposing this information as it's been available in the background for many years. Do wonder why it's taken so long, though. The classic "Battery status: Good" readout isn't super helpful.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] BillGoss:
Interesting! So I had a look at my phone's values. It's 2 weeks old. These numbers are distinctly odd:

bgp8p:~ # cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_full_design
5022000
bgp8p:~ # cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_full
5158000

Full charge is 102.7% ?!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] AhmedRehan98:
Just guessing, but perhaps this is due to the charge_full_design being a value like the minimum rated battery capacity (or average) and your battery (mine too) has a current value that's larger than that?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Morgrain:
The headline is misleading (typical Forbes clickbait), there is no battery "boost" (implies better battery life). There will merely be a way to read out the battery health/degradation via software, which is already possible via root. However it is nice to see such a vital feature finally making its way to stock Android.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ApeironTsuka:
This is most likely correct. Differences in individual battery cells can end up with them holding ever-so-slightly more of a charge than expected, or ever-so-slightly-less of one. charge_full_design is what the battery firmware reports as being its maximum charge. Also keep note that if you use something like acc to make it so your battery never hits 100%, the charge_full value will likely not update.

Maybe this article sheds some light. https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-808-how-to-prolong-lithium-based-batteries#

[OnePlus 9 Pro] domenico74:
Hello,

I flashed lineageOS, then I wanted to go back to the stock ROM,

The worry is that now it does not boot, it is alive because I hear windows make a sound when I plug it in but I see nothing on the screen just the Oneplus logo and from time to time the warning that my OEM is unlocked but nothing more.

When I do an ADB device it's unauthorized.

What can I do?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Psk.It:
If you want to go back to OOS, check fastboot rom on android file host

otherwise restart from scratches:

flash latest firmware

flash the recovery

sideload the rom

(i have been using crDroid for the past months without huge issues)

the worst case (if you run i to qualcomm crashdump error) restart completely from the begin (EDL)

Is it because of the root samsung or maybe dead seansor, I did a re-install several times but every time the same problem, sometimes it starts showing up to 15% and sometimes not, do you have any advice?
[Nothing Phone 2] webdiddy:
Merry X-mas!

With some time over during the holidays, I decided to upgrade my rooted phone from 2.04 to 2.05.

Before doing this though I thought I install Orange Fox Recovery. Installing Orange Fox was not a problem.

However, I then tried installing the stock boot image after disabling and uninstalling Magisk. I then discovered I was not able to boot into fastboot mode with Orange Fox installed so I tried the flash the stock boot image with orange fox, this did not work. I also tried entering orange foxs version of fast boot but adb was not able to see my device (waiting for any device) I then wanted to uninstall orangefox to revert back to stock recovery, howeve I was not able to figure out how to do this, in a last attempt I installed twrp instead. I tried flashing the stock 2.0.4 boot image using twrp but after rebooting the phone only boots into Bootloader mode, selecting START (in green text) Recovery mode (in red text) or Restart bootloader (in red text) only send me back into bootloader mode.

I am not sure if I also need to mention that I have no ability to send any adb commands to my phone from the "bootloader menu".

I would love any help.

Thanks.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Merry Xmas,

Reason you can't send adb commands is because your phone isn't booted to system, the android debug bridge only works in a booted system state.

You use fastboot commands when you're in the bootloader.

From what you've said, I don't think the update has been installed so grab the patched boot image from my root thread then boot it using:

Fastboot boot (name of magisk image)

Let the phone boot and open magisk, then install, then install directly..

Your phone should be working then...

If you still want to update, then you need to be on stock recovery and stock boot images to both slots.

Grab the 2.0.4 boot image and stock recovery and flash them both, first do the recovery and make sure you can boot to it.

Once that's in place, fastboot flash the boot images to both slots to be sure slot_a and slot_b

Then grab the full update and use *#*#682#*#* to install it.

You may be able to use the fastboot image to update which should write over everything, that's up to you...I prefer the 682 method, but that's me.
[Nothing Phone 2] webdiddy:
Thank you. Unfortunately it didn't work. I still get the message waiting for any device in powershell.
[Nothing Phone 2] webdiddy:
View attachment 6048023

To be clear, this is the only thing I can access and the only thing my phone currently boots into.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Ok so I'm guessing you've been able to use fastboot before because you're unlocked.. so what I'd say is to use CMD instead of power shell.. can't see why it wouldn't work?
[Nothing Phone 2] webdiddy:
Yes, I have been able to use fastboot before but never from this menu. Only from the recovery menu.

Maybe I am using the wrong terminology here.
[Nothing Phone 2] webdiddy:
I installed new fastboot driver in windows and it looks like I am now able to run fastboot commands. With that being said running the command:

"fastboot boot magisk_patched-26400_n1x00.img" The following happens:

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 2.125s]

booting...

FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: No Media)

finished. total time: 2.399s
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Is the magisk item you're trying to boot actually in your fastboot folder you're using?
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
If that's not working the maybe flash the boot image

Grab the boot.img then:

Fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Nothing Phone 2] webdiddy:
So, I downloaded the stock A065 Nothing 2.0.4 and successfully flashed it to both A and B. However, I am still unable to get passed the "Bootloader" menu.

C:\adb> fastboot flash boot_a stock_204_boot.img

[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Ok then so not the boot image.. have you got the stock recovery, pop that back in there too.

Have you tried to boot to recovery yet? What happens?

At this point, I think it would probably be best to flash the whole fastboot ROM.. 2.0.4.

Have you got a V2 EDL cable if that doesn't work?
[Nothing Phone 2] webdiddy:
I tried to flash the stock recovery like this.

C:\adb> fastboot flash stock_recovery.img

unknown partition 'stock_recovery.img'

error: cannot determine image filename for 'stock_recovery.img'

Trying to boot into recovery does nothing but send me back to the bootloader menu.

Where can I find the full fastboot rom 2.0.4? And what command do I use to flash it? fastboot flash romname?

This is the only edl cable I have.

[Nothing Phone 2] TheNewHEROBRINE:
You need to do fastboot flash recovery stock_recovery.img
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
As @TheNewHEROBRINE has said the command is fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery image)

The fact you can't get to recovery at all suggests that your recovery is missing or borked.

There may be other parts of your phone that have corrupted or just gone wrong so try recovery first then go on from there.
[Nothing Phone 2] webdiddy:
It looks like stock recover was sucessfully flashed, sadly I can still not boot into recovery, maybe it's the wrong version, I think I was only able to find stock recovery for 2.0.3.

C:\adb> fastboot flash recovery stock_recovery.img

Sending 'recovery' (102400 KB) OKAY [ 2.274s]

Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.171s]

Finished. Total time: 2.522s
[Nothing Phone 2] webdiddy:
In a desperate attempt, I also tried flashing orangefox recovery the same way , the flashing part worked but I could not boot into it.

I have no problem starting over and just factory reset the phone by just flashing 2.0.5 directly to the phone. Is that even possible? if so, I would really APPRICIATE if someone could just point me to a flashable file and instruct me how to do this, I know that dladz has an excellent thread about this but I easily get overwhelmed if there is too many different instructions on the same thread. I have been phoneless for over two days now and it sucks :)
[Nothing Phone 2] webdiddy:
Also, don't know if this helps but the trouble with being stuck in bootloader mode started after I tried flashing the stock boot image from within twrp and I might have fashed it to the wrong destination or something.
[Nothing Phone 2] webdiddy:
I read in a different thread that someone else who also was stuck in bootloader mode got out of it by flashing Nothing rom. Well, I tried that, I got no errors but I am still stuck. :(

Spoiler content hidden.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
I really do feel for you mate, you've done really well and I know it sucks...

Could maybe try flashing 2.5.1 or 2.4.0 via Arters thread.. may be possible..

[Nothing Phone 2] webdiddy:
Hooooly Mooly! :)

My phone is now back in working order thanks to this community.❤️ I even got to keep all my settings.

I will proceed to explain what I did if someone ever gets in this situation where you get stuck a the fastboot menu.

Links to all files will be available in the bottom of this post.

First I downloaded a full image from the nothing archive on github, in my case I opted for 2.5.1. (see links below)

The file archive needs a special 7zip to unpack them its called 7-zip ZS and can be found on github (see links below)

You then need to use 7-zip ZS to unpack the image, they will first unpack into rar files I believe, and then you need to unpack the rar files into a single zipped image file, stop unpacking here.

You then need to flash this image to your phone connected by usb with adb/fastboot (see links below)

Make sure you phone is connected to your pc and is in the fastboot menu. (Also please use a high-quality usb cable.)

Place the newly unpacked image file in your adb folder.

Open up CMD in windows.

Go to your ADB folder, in my case: cd C:/ADB

Run the command: fastboot update image-file-name.zip (in my case fastboot update fastboot-Pong_U2.5-231208-2206-image.zip)

It will take a minute or two if everything works, do not touch either your phone or your computer until your phone is back up and running.

I am myself kind of a noob at this so if my method does not work for you I don't think I will be able to help you any further.

Once again, thank you to everyone who helped me, especially @dladz.

I'm not sure where to go from here. Back on my OP7 Pro rn. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻
[Nothing Phone 2] mvikrant97:
If you can still access fastboot and ofox recovery then you don't need EDL flash yet.

[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
I agree but people sometimes want a fresh start.. tbh I've had lots of issues and have used the MSM on the OnePlus to just start over.

I just think that a guide for each specific scenario would make sense, some people are clued up and some aren't, but it's not something you want to go into lightly, look at how many people have ended up with a black screen.

Just trying to avoid the avoidable.
[Nothing Phone 2] dfogelstrom:
@dladz and @mvikrant97 , what would be the best way to get my NP2 up and running again without losing data/settings?

I don't know how to get out of Fastboot right now. Again I followed OP's guide to the T and got invalid file after trying to install the compiled zip 2.5.1 and I also tried 2.0.4, which I currently have installed on the phone.

I can start fresh, but I want to try to get back to where I was before.

I just need a helping hand. I'm stuck rn.

Happy New Year to everyone!
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
What did you do exactly to get yourself in the situation you're currently in?

Could just be a boot image flash required.
[Nothing Phone 2] dfogelstrom:
@dladz,

I was on 2.0.4 rooted with OF installed hoping to update to 2.5.1. I was supposed to install stock recovery onto both slots via Magisk on both slots and installed stock boot.img to recovery instead (I know...). My phone just boots to Fastboot and any option I pick boots me back to FB. By flashing the patched Magisk.img and then OF in FB I go into a bootloop and can get into OF. From there I tried to install the OF zip that I have on my phone and it brings me back to FB.

I have tried the OP's steps with 2.5.1 and 2.0.4 in FB and in my command prompt it says "invalid file" after executing the command:

C:\ADB>fastboot update fastboot-Pong_U2.5-231208-2206-image.zip

error: failed to open zip file 'fastboot-Pong_U2.5-231208-2206-image.zip': Invalid file

I still have all my data on my phone but I'm lost at this point.

Thank you so much! Happy New Year!
[Nothing Phone 2] TheNewHEROBRINE:
Sorry for the stupid question but is the fastboot-Pong_U2.5-231208-2206-image.zip file in the C:\ADB\ folder?
[Nothing Phone 2] dfogelstrom:
Yes, it is, thank you for checking!
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
If you only installed a boot image to recovery then just install the stock recovery again and then the boot images to slots a and b..

If that's all you've done then that should be enough to boot.

Beyond that, did you extract the zip fully using 7zip?
[Nothing Phone 2] dfogelstrom:
@dladz ,

I don't have the stock 2.0.4 recovery, nor can I find it. Any leads on that?

What boot.img(stock 2.0.4 or patched?)and how do I install to a & b via Fastboot? Maybe I'm a bit confused.

Yes, I DL all 4 parts, unpacked them and then then compiled them into one using the special 7Zip in OPs links. I tried 2.5.1 at first, then 2.0.4. invalid file in command prompt for both.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
So the boot.img and recovery can be extracted from a full firmware if you can find it..

Recovery is at the foot of my root guide as are all boot images.

Flash the 2.0.4 to slot a and b

Download the boot image and the recovery images and place them in your fastboot folder then type:

Fastboot flash boot_a boot.img

Press enter

Fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

Press enter

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Press enter

Fastboot reboot
