Hello!, I hope is not late for the help. Follow my steeps (sorry for my eglish)
1. Download the firmware for ur mobile (U can do it with a program called Frija, is the fastest way).
2. Download ODIN V. 3.10.7 (Is the best version for your model)
3. Open ODIN and put the ROM, select the option: Nand Erase All.
4. Flash!
5. If all goes fine congrats, but if ur phone is stuck in SAMSUNG logo go to step 6.
6. Put ur phone in ODIN mode again, and re flash but don't select Nand Erase this time.
7. Wait for 100% then, turno off ur phone, and enter recovery mode (VolUp + Home + Power)
8. Select in recovery: Wipe data factory and Wipe Cache Partition.
9. Restart ur Phone and wait. If all goes fine: Congrats.

i support what "cc33wm" wrote,
also, at least on mine i had to unlock the bootloader first in order to root it properly(i also installed twrp recovery), so it might also be your case

STUCK ON BOOT. Please Help.

I rooted the phone, then i downloaded the cyanogemMod. I went to the clockwork recovery and choose the .zip. It said that it was complet after some minutes and now i cant boot. Please, i tried searching in the forum but i didnt find anything that helped me. I dont know if which key i have to press to enter the recovery in the boot process. Tks a lot for the help.
[edit] I managed to enter the recovery of the android. But nothing helps. I try to "apply ypdate fromm sdcard" but it says that failed to verify whole-file signature.[/edit]
When a file has failed to verify, one of the answers is that the phone is not rooted. Maybe you have lost root due to flashing. The update.zip is usually the cwm itself. Did you use Odin at first? Go to samfirmware.com and download your rom there. Make sure it's for your country. Install via Odin. You will have stock rom and kernel. Get back to me when you have done that
Adrian.
SGS2 9100
Lite'nin rom
XDA Pro.
Try to get into download mode and reflash stock firmware using ODIN.
You will find all the instructions in the Android dev forum here in the S2 forum.
You can get into download mode by pressing volume down + home + power.
Best,
Sebkinne
For me deleting use cache helped via recovery. I refereed to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499

[Question] Recovery fail?

Hello guys, I am sorry If I annoyed you, but I got one question
If I tried to flash recovery via odin and it suddenly failed.. Will get my phone hard bricked? Like it's uneasy to unbrick it, also, can anyone tell me how to flash recovery via odin?
I got steps from a guy (I dont trust... he ruined my phone once):
1- Download Odin 3.xx
2- Download TWRP 3.0.2.0 for N910F (My phone)
3- Extract twrp files
4- Open odin and load TWRP files
5- Turn off phone and put in download mode
6- Start flash operation, when the phone reboots put it in recovery mode quickly
^ Will those steps work? Please someone help.

Hi TheDon772
As per TWRP installation instructions, you should be downloading a TAR file (xxxx.tar) that you should not EXTRACT it but use directly onto Odin.
Seems you should be using [ Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Qualcomm (trlte) ] right ?
Read the instructions in there ... no extraction.
Please advise.

S7 Edge G935F // Faulty ODIN flash // Stuck in Bootloader [SOLVED]

Hi Guys,
today I wanted to flash the latest Stock ROM for my device via ODIN. I've done this many times before and (thought) I knew what I was doing. It is my third Phone frome the same carrier and none of them were branded/ locked devices before. Unfortunatly I wasn't aware that this particular device was locked.
After downloading the international firmware I tried to install it and ODIN got stuck while writing the system.img. After that my phone did not boot up (of course). After that I downloaded and tried to isntall the firmware of the carrier, but I had the exact same issue. When I turn my device on I get to an error screen which tells me to execute an "emergency recovery" via the Samsung smart switch software. But it too gets stuck on some point and only gets me to an error screen.
FRP hinders me to install a custom recovery and the stock one does not allow any isntallations via ADB or SD card.
My qustion is: Does anyone know how I can install a rom from here?
I know that I had to have made some changes prior to the flashing, but as I said I was not aware and an Idiot for not double checking.
Since it is not bricked yet I suppose there must be an answer but I can't find anything.
Thanks in advance
Edit:
After only installing the stock bootloader, I am autmaticly entering it when I boot my devive. On the bottom of the screen is an error message: "dm-verity verification failed...
E:failed to mount /system (invalid argument)"
Fix
For anyone in the same situation: I fixed it.
In the end all you have to do is flash the firmware with the fitting PIT file. If you firmware consists of multiple files and there is a "HOME"-file, flash it with this one first on the AP slot in ODIN. After that the same again just use the AP file this time.
My phone is up and running again now.

have u solved your problem ? This problem i am facing on the s7edge nougat ? Plz help ?
Hey,
look at the second post I made in this thread. There is described how I got my S7 up and running again. I'm not sure if it is a valid solution since it felt like trial and error to me, but I'm writing this text from my S7 so it might be worth a try!
Good luck!

I described everything I did in the posts before.
As soon as you can enter the system again all you need to do is deactivate the locks I was talking about in my first post and perform a full wipe.
After that you can install any ROM you want via ODIN just like you are used to.
If that doesn't work for you, I don't have any answers either.
But again:
Prep work:
1. Download most recent ODIN
2. Download the correct firmware for your carrier (from www.sammobile.com)
3. Download the correct PIT file for your device
4. Put your device in download mode
Process:
1. Extract your firmware if it is a zip
2. Start up ODIN
3. Connect your device and check if it's detected by ODIN
3. Put the PIT file in ODIN
4. Put the "HOME" file of your firmware in the PDA slot of ODIN
5. Press start
6. When finished unplug your device and restart phone and ODIN
7. Reconnect your phone and check if it's detected by ODIN
8. Put all the other files of your firmware + the PIT in the correct slot in ODIN
9. Press start
After that my device booted up but still was, as you described too, a little buggy. So I deactivated FRP, activated USB debugging in the dev options, installed TWRP, performed a full wipe and installed another firmware of my choosing via ODIN (without a PIT file this time).
I am running 7.0 on my device now and it works flawlessly.

Does the TWRP flash complete? Can you boot up the OS after you flashed TWRP? (And did you download the correct version of TWRP for your device?)
As a last resort, you could try and flash marshmallow on your device and see if it works there.

if i flash marshmallow it doesnt even boot up and in the odin mode showing binary and everything as custom , if i flash nougat and then flash twrp and try to manually boot into twrp it stucks on the s7edge screen which comes before recovery , and if i boot the mobile normally without the button combination then it stucks on the second logo SAMSUNG . if i flash again the stock recovery then boots normally

Have you tried to perform a regular factory reset via the OS on nougat? Sometimes that does the job, too.
But as I said. I can only give you my best guess here - my phone worked after my procedure, so I didn't investigate further.
And don't forget: Google is your friend.

Well I had the same issue but Odin method didn't work for me on Nougat. And also FRP lock was On. every time I flashed the files it give me FRP on error. so I had to use Smartswitch. Even though I used original csc and ap files with latest Odin. BTW I have SM-G935FD model

Well FRP has to be turned off (the button in the menu is called "OEM unlock, the button has to be set to on which deactivates FRP). You don't mention using a PIT file - did you use one?

i have already done that , it stuck on modem part , secure check radio fail and when i flash without modem , it successfully flashed but root issue , when i flash twrp , it doesnt boot into into twrp and stuck on logo?
I do not believe that you see a "modem" part when using smart switch? Otherwise use Samsung Kies for S7 edge. And do the Firmware Upgrade and Initialization menu item

yes i have enabled that and also usb debugging
What to do : Reflash the stock firmware , after that is completed , turn off the phone , and install on your pc : the No verify Opt encrypt 5.0 from here:
https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.0.zip
And the SuperSu file from here :
https://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Now go download the latest Odin, and connect your phone.
Flash the Twrp 3.1.0.0 ( be aware to choose the file for Hero2lte) and reboot to recovery.
DO NOT LET IT BOOT INTO THE SYSTEM.
IF IT DOES , IMEDIATLEY CLOSE THE PHONE AND BOOT INTO RECOVERY .
Once you are in recovery , firstly go to wipe and do a factory reset .
Then connect your s7E to the PC while you are in the TWRP , and copy the SuperSu file and the verity opt oncryption to the storage.
Note: if you have an SD card inserted , copy the files to the SD not the internal storage.
Now , pay attention , If you don't do the next steps in the right order , you may brick your beautiful 800$ phone.
So pay attention , you have to firstly run the No verity encrypt file.
After it's done, go back >reboot>reboot in recovery.
Now search the file and run it (the SuperSu file)
It will take a bit longer to flash the SuperSu.
After it's done , reboot
Note: your phone should reboot 2 times , If it doesn't or it reboots more than 3 times, CLOSE your phone , and repeat the whole process.
IF your phone reboots 2 times , your are good to go .
The first BOOT May take some time (usually around 6 minutes) and it may loop a couple times, DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCES !
IF your phone boots up successfully, configure it and run a root checker , it should say : congratulations your device is rooted.
IF IT doesn't, well you have had to mess something up during the process.
Hope that helped , let me know if it did

I had the same issue to fix.
open smart switch and use the emergency initialization and recovery feature.
it will ask for your model and serial number which is on a sticker on the back of your phone.

I have tried that , that also stucks in the modem part and give radio fail secure check error , i cant even flash it , i was thinking i will root it and install a custom rom but it cant boot to twrp , and if i just flash the AP part then the device boots successfully and the imei and baseband everything ok . Just the hidden codes not work , its really a weird issue , im really confused about it
suhaibahmad. When you refer to "whenever I only flash AP"you are referring to using ODIN, NOT SMARTSWITCH. There is a difference.

[SM-J320FN] [Root-Firmware-F*ckup] Stuck in firmware upgrade.

Yo dudes!
So I've somehow f**ked up my J320FN, I'ts stuck in Firmware upgrade, I recieve this message> "firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies & try again", almost no matter how I launch the phone, the only alternative is Home+VolDown+Lock wich drags me to the Download thing page u use for Odin (I'm new to all this lol).
It all started with me recieving the phone the other day and i wasn't able to get past the "setup menu" , not even after factory-reset/wipe whatever, so I couldn't change the OEM and Usb stuff, aaand somehow when I entered kies I managed to start firmware upgrade wich didnt work out so well.. haha.
And now here i am, unrooted phone uncapable of accessing anything else than "firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies & try again".
And I really don't know what to do here haha =D, any help is appreciated! Thanks.
sooo is this the right category for this haha?
First, download odin for flashing your phone. You canf find it here in this forum . Just search it. Install the latest drivers. Go to sammobile or other site and download latest firmware for j320fn according to your country. Then , open ODIN v3.xx and select pda, csc and the rest according to files in zip file downloaded. If it's only one file select pda and find it. DO NOT CHECK NAND ERASE ALL. IT WILL MAKE YOUR PHONE A BRICK. Just check auto reboot and you'll be fine. After flashing phone will reboot and you can setup it ! If i helped tell me !
What Frost said or download Twrp 3.0.1-2 for the FN and flash that via Odin...If it enters recoverybwith Twrp just wipe dalvik cache data and system reboot...you also have adb and file manager with twrp..Good luck
