I have an official US AT&T S7 Edge bought from the carrier themselves, and I attempted to root it.
Really, I didn't do anything wrong. I turned my phone onto download mode, opened up Odin, selected the root AP and pressed Start.
It performed successfully, however, now it'll show the "Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge" logo screen on repeat, turning off and on every 2-3 seconds. Not stuck on the regular Samsung logo.
Did it work? Did I break it? What do I do? Do I run the root.bat or am I screwed?
Thanks

the bootloader is locked so no root is available for any snapdragon s7 edge just flash stock rom
Kinda ****ed right now.
Stuck on that loop for a while, tried downloading a stock ROM to flash it with, and it wouldn't work due to multiple Odin errors. Tried everything to do with my USB cable, and still nothing.
Now I can't even get on the recovery boot screen...
Download the latest stock Odin files and use the MODDED Odin

Yeah, that's what I'm doing right now. I believe I got it to work finally. Took a while to find US ROM files for my model.

I cannot do any more looking to night. Is there a stock recovery for the 900A somewhere? I keep finding only firmwares.
I used dd to write a recovery to the sd card and now I get a message that says "System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest AT&T store for help." After the boot screen, this is all I get when I start the phone after doing a factory reset. I can get into download mode though.
This is the worst phone I've ever dealt with when it comes to flashing. WTF AT&T?!

Att s5 has locked bootloader, no custom recovery or anything. What Android version was it on before you softbricked it?
Sent from my Galaxy S5 using XDA Labs
It was on Lollipop, 5.0. If I remember right it was the OF2 or OF3 build. It was rooted. It also has a padlock on the first boots screen that says "custom" under it.

Should be good to flash the NCE firmware then, includes recovery so just flash that and you can go back up to rooted L.

After spending way too much time on this, I found a rooted ROM that had a recovery with it for the OF2 build. I downloaded that and made an Odin flashable image and flashed the recovery... so basically what you're suggesing, I think. Just a different version.
Instructions can be found here in case anyone happens to do this. https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys5/comments/4umm9z/where_can_i_find_stock_recovery/

My s4 was rooted about a year ago with the logo SAMSUNG and Unlocked with an open lock below it when it boots up. I gave this phone to my girlfriends daughter and forgot to tell her not to try and update it. I don't remember the way i rooted it or what software it had on it at the time.
So when I go to recovery after it loads into an AT&T logo and tries to install it and it gets to 24%. After this it bootloops. Any help would be appreciated. My phone model is SGH-I337 , also not sure of what the original firmware is.

Open lock symbol means your phone is rooted not unlocked.
If you could go to the recovery mode (voloume-up+home+power) it would tell you your firmware version. You could try clear cache, factory reset in recovery mode. If it still gives you the bootloop, you might need to flash the firmware via odin.
You can find instructions and necessary files in here and here.
No recovery options
Sorry I left that part out. When it goes to recovery i get the blue text that say recovery then it goes straight to the AT&T installing. So no recovery options. I can still get to the Odin dowloading screen though and it says im running Samsung Original software

One reason I asked you to go to the recovery option was to know what version of firmware you were on before .
Do you remember you were on jelly bean or kick-kat or lollipop? If you do you can find the firmware for jelly bean and kit-kat on the links I mentioned in the previous message.
If you could not recall your firmware, the latest odin flashable firmware we have is kit-kat NB1.
You can flash that one to revive your phone. Then use twoel root to root the phone. After that you can go to lollipop if you want. All the instructions are there.
Woop Woop!

It worked. I have tried so many different firmware and kit-kat NB1 worked perfectly. Thank you so much, my girlfriends daughter will be so happy. I think i will leave it unrooted for now. I hope this post helps someone else in the future.

I am glad that it works out for you.
Rooting is so easy from that point. Just get towel root and root it. The link also included in my previous post. After the root you might need to disable the AT&T OTA update too. The instructions are also in that post too.
Alright, so I have an S7 that I bought off of ebay, it was originally sprint, but I use it on Metropcs.
Today, I attempted to Odin root it and it got me stuck in a "Galaxy s7" boot loop. As a result, I looked for the stock, which also put my in a "Recovery booting" loop. Now I don't know what to do. Recovery mode does not work. The only thing I can do is go into download mode.
Some notes: I have/had nougat on it, don't. I wanted to use smart switch, but it needs a serial number, and when I tried to find mine using the IMEI from the download screen to find mine, it said it couldn't find the Serial, so I'm just going to assume it's a fake S7.
If anyone can help at all, or even have an S7 serial, please let me know. I've tried several of the main threads for sprint with the 2.2gb stock AP/CP/CSC, and none of them worked, they all result in boot loop.
Edit: My phone is an S7, NOT an edge. I put this in the wrong section, and I have to wait 20mins to make a new thread.

I'll try that if the current thing doesn't work. What I did just now is I got a file from samfirm which was SM-G930P_1_20161227210652_bpv0ccfhas_fac.zip. Instead of jusst doing the AP/CP/CSC, I also added in the BL, and it seems to be working, and reverted me back to 6?

Try holding volume down+home+power buttons. When the phone reboots again, it should go into the download mode. When in the download mode, you should flash a compatible ROM via Odin (possibly from sammobile.com). This should fix the problem.

There are no good methods, from what I read. You can try the method described in this thread, but many people seem to have come to the conclusion that it's not worth it. It makes the phone laggy, among other things.
One thing that you can do to potentially make the phone work better is to change the original T-mobile ROM (G935TUVS4BRA1) to a brandless version (G935UUES4BRA1) via Odin, which you can also get from sammobile.com. I did it and it works better than the original, though I still cannot use the damned phone because it's network locked to T-mobile and I use Orange now...
Good luck.

@an531, I got my T-Mobile Galaxy S7 Edge unlocked by https://www.gsmzambia.com/.
They flashed a modified unlock firmware, then I flashed U firmware over it and my phone is still unlocked.
You need a Windows PC with Teamviewer to do this.

ok, get the firmware for your phone from sammobile.com but use samfirm or frija to download it, flash the firmware in Odin 9 time. yes, 9 times. try booting between flashes and itll go away by the 9th time. Not even kidding
9 time flashing. No chance. FRP lock is almost there.
Installed is G935FXXS6ESI4
What can i do ? Any Idea = Combination Firmware ?

not anymore. there was a patch that fixed the bug that allowed this to occur. Sammy is always right on our tails. now you need the combination firmware, which you flash in Odin as well then follow it up with the stock firmware from sammobile since the combination FW isnt really bootable (it is, but its weird lol)

I flashed the combination firmware. After that I flashed my stock firmware but now I get stuck on recovery screen. First it says "Erasing" and then the dead Android mascot shows up. Can't boot into system. Any suggestions? FRP Lock is still on and I can't flash TWRP, custom binary is locked by frp.
possible solution
Hi, how are you? I'm sorry for my english, I'm from Brazil and I'm using the ksks translator so with my j5 i used the frp hijacker (just put it on google) there you choose the phone model, put it in download mode, install the program on the computer, choose the model, check remove frp and a hijack it! and ready frp unlocked

tried it on another computer? Ive had that issue with my desktop/laptop(s). I never dug into what caused it to fail on the desktop vs working on a few laptops. Literally everything else works exactly as it should on the desktop so i just let it be an unresolved oddity. Likely not worth the time it would take to resolve. Anywho, try a different computer and/or diff cable. I just ordered an Anker cable from amazon and its thicker and more sturdy than the micro usb cable ive been hanging on to from my old blackberry tour. Cables are stupid cheap online these days, even for the very very good ones. Perhaps worth a shot, but i cant suggest that you spend money on anything. I can say that its what I would do.
