I have a Galaxy s7 930f, it always rebooting every day or second day one time, I made a original firmware install with odin, but it did not help me.
Anybody has a advice.
I tried it with original apps, I did not install any other apps.
It rooted but it is does not matter, it is rebooting with root or without root.
How can I find out what is the problem?

Hi mate
Maybe something went wrong during rooting , did you reflash your stock firmware again (odin)?
Yes I did it, 4 times, 3 different firmware. I mean tried with btu united kingdom , dbt germany , zto brazil, not helped.

when that started to happen? from beginning , after rooting....... do you install any apps after flashing with odin? try flashing with odin and not installing anything else and leave it for a day or two to see how it behaves, just to discard if is app related
I did it, I made a clean install with odin, I did not install any apps, but it is rebooting. So I don't know it is rebooting after rooting, or before, because I was rooting immediately when I got it.

Try flashing stock ROM again with Odin, then factory reset from recovery and don't root. See if you still have problems.
EDIT: Sorry, I misread your first post. I would take it back to Samsung, if it happens on a completely stock phone, something hardware-related may be the culprit.

I did it yesterday, so right now I'm waiting and hope no reboot again.
My stock phone made me mad by rebooting randomly, did a 4-part Odin flash + pit file now. Hope it helps. Before I deleted my accounts from the phone and enabled oem load in developer options. Don't know how to flash a stock Rom any cleaner. Really hoping the damn phone is cured now.

Im experiencing the random reboots and freezes as well but more frequently. Maybe 4 to 8 times a day if phone is used.
On custom, stock, rooted and unrooted. .
Just got the phone 3 days ago ?
Im currently trying out an older firmware but still no luck. Just had another reboot by using android beam.

Phone : Samsung s7 G930F
Android: MM 6.0.1
Common triggers ive seen so far
1. Connecting phone to pc and start a file transfer
2. App update or install
3. File transfer from phone to another phone as in the case of Android beam.
But there is still some other random unexplained occurrences.
Phone freezing up I dont know why it does this or what triggers it.
As I was still suffering from those nasty random freezes Samsung changed the Mainboard on warranty.. Now everything is fine. Monday device

You need to UNLOCK your bootloader not just root. the official CM is a non kexec kernel and you are still running with your locked bootloader
and fixed
just funny to me how far verizon will go to feel like big brother so to speak.
Assuming your bootloader is unlocked. I had the same thing happen the first time. Tried to use CWM, missed the suggestion of flashing TWRP from EZ Recovery. Made all the difference. Watch the video from DroidModd3rX:

Depends on what you use the phone for. NFC still isn't working, which affects me. I hear NFL Mobile and some of the video apps like netflix aren't working.
Other than that, it's stable and fast.
I had more then just those issues, apparently my phone was sending doubles text messages, also WiFi struggled to keep a solid signal, data also dropped in and out and last but not least screen would flicker. Did a clean install of the nightly build and alpha build and had the same issues.

I am happy with it. It has rebooted twice on me, once after an hour and a half phone call with Dell tech support, I was tired of talking to the guy anyway . But jelly bean is nice, if you don't need NFC, MMS, or Flash (can't get my side load to work). Guess it is all in the eye of the beholder, if you don't mind some of those issues is suitable.

Not quite stable. It suffers from reboots for some during/after calls..... Me for one. The original alpha build never showed that symptom. Also a lot of people are saying that they are having echo problems on calls.

I'm hosed. I have been trying to fix it with Odin but I don't know Odin well enough. I ran the stock root rom and then synergy. Last night I locked it by using the CW app instead of the manual method. Dang. How do I return to stock? Anyone? I used Odin to download the rooted rom, and had no issues with TWRP. I should have known better than to use CW recovery app and the CW recovery.
Nice !

Hey all,
first of all I would like to say thank you for all for the great job you do in here. It's really awesome I don't have to depend on mobile carrier companies (who always a year late with updates ) and i can take care of my phone myself.
The reason I'm posting here is a problem what I can simply cannot resolve, however i search over the forums.
My problem is lockscreen / screenlock simply not working. Its working on 2.3.6. but not on 4.0.4, I did try I9103XXLQ7 as it is originaly and with flashed over with MAZEL's great rom but no luck. Also i flashed I9103XXLQ9 and tried and after screen lock not worked here either i flashed over BlueBerry ROM 2.1a, but again, no luck. I always do factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache still, simply not working.
I did try other locker softwares like holo locker and go locker but I came across a very interesting problem with them, they work fine until my morning alarm would start since somehow the 3rd party locker softwares blocking the alarm clock to start. Simply nothing happening, no wake up sound no light nothing until I touch the phone then suddenly it wakes up. It's not a good way, i get late from work a few times of because of this problem not to mention i miss the snooze option
Can anyone help me please and let me know if this a factory software issue and if it is how to get over it (even with 3rd party software which is not affecting the alarm clock)?
I live in Hungary, got this phone from a friend.
Thanks for everyone and sorry if this was posted elsewhere, i was searching but did not found.
Did you look into Settings->Security->Screen Lock? (I'm not sure if this is that option on stock ICS, but it should be.) Maybe it's set to 'None'. It should not be set to none if you always wipe data.

yeah, i did check there, i can set anything still nothing happens, if i set pin or pattern or even password it will be still nothing asked when closed and opened the phone.
If i set for example PIN and i lock the phone with button and open it again still no pin pass asked (immediatelly goes to home screen) but when i go to settings / security the default setting shown is pin... its like totally ignore anything i set
I did try to set none the reboot then set pin then reboot, same results... also same results with even and pattern security.
应该是软件冲突了。你把锁屏软件的都卸载了。然后在锁屏里从新设置试试。我以前也碰到过,
This guy is saying that "I've come across, this Should be a software conflict. You uninstall software lock screen. Try and set new lock screen."
Maybe..
Go back to Stock GB.
Then reflash your phone to stock ICS??

yeah, did try, on GB it's working fine...the strange thing is when is reflash GB it starts with the usual welcome screen (flashing GB with odin) set up account etc etc. but when i flash ICS (even after factory reset/cache wipe) it starts the system without the usual start screen... no welcome set you google acc or anything (i flash ICS in Odin too). somehow i got the idea it has something to do with the screen lock.
But is there any cleaner install then flash with ODIN? or should i try other factory FW to flash?
No. Use Odin v1.85
Maybe you should try downloading the STOCK ICS again.
Buddy try XWLP2 POLAND stock rom. As it is one of the latest and most stable stock ics rom with some bugs being corrected.
Our buddy kataria.vikesh has made a thread regarding this too "FROM WHERE TO DOWNLOAD" AND "HOW TO FLASH"
Maybe it will help.

Thanks for everyone for the tips. I did flash XWLP2 yesterday, the screenlock situation is the same (no mather what i set, not working) however the 3rd party locker apps seems to work now. I did try a few times and it looks the alarm can work together with the locker app so at the moment it looks like the problem is at solved to a level where I can live with it
I do continue to experiment, strange no one came accross this problem. Also interesting and don't know why happening, there is no welcome screen at fresh install at ICS and I think that is part of the problem. It starts and GB and there the lock working fine. On ICS the system just loading like it was loaded before or something.

Still not working 100% but i'm getting there one thing came to my mind, is there any ICS firmware with .pit and other files? i just use md5 file in pda at Odin, maybe thats causing the problem (which doesn't make sense since the GB software is md5 too but im desperate to find a solution).
I do found flasher+pit file in sammobile, odin 1.87 and a pit file was in the package but not sure I can use .pit and md5 file without the modem and csc...
Lock screen working (go locker now) but still the alarm clock not always working or if it does start few minutes +- as set and snooze not working at 50% of the time..
Buddy pit files are for advanced users who want to play around with their partition table. It could mess up your partitions if you don't know what you are doing. Be careful.

Yes buddy, I did that with my Samsung Galaxy 3 aka apollo (indian version with i5801 like i9103 for R). I have changed it with Europe's Galaxy 3 ( i5800). Hence my warranty void for life time.
Buddy go to the SSC then.
They will solve this problem for sure

I used Triangle away to reset custom flash counter, both on a stock rooted rom and on goldeneye rom, and both times I was able to get rid of the stupid samsung custom logo with the picture of an unlocked lock.
1. Install triangle away
2. Click reset flash counter (even if it says counter: 0) i think this happens when you have only flashed 1 rom, sometimes under status is shows official but when it boots it says custom.
3. Reboot and enjoy looking at the official S4 logo
4. Profit
It was really bothering me so I found a way to get rid of it, and I thought that I'd share it with you guys.

+1 It worked for me after using CASUAL on my S4 (CUAMDL) right out of the box! {removed the "open lock" almost instantly!}
Thanks for the tip!
alternatively, install SuperSU as your su app, let it install binaries, then uninstall whatever other app you were using (it does this automatically), and reboot a few times. Unlocked icon will go away.
No risk of issues from triangle away.

Only if the non-stock you are running identifies the device properly. In other words, if you run triangle and it says a different model, do not continue, it will brick, but if it shows the correct device model, go for it.
No dice. I'm on VZW, SCH-I545, it identifies the device properly, says it's going to reboot into Odin mode, reboots, get the blue text at the top that says booting into recovery, then skips to boot animation.

That method seemed to work for some and not for others, with no discernible reason why.
I was stock rooted with stock recovery when I tried it and never did manage to get the custom screen to go away. Thankfully, I realized I could care less about it and went on with my life!
So I got an update last night on my J7 2016 with MetroPCS. I wanna update it, but I'm rooted and don't wanna screw anything up. Should I take the update, or hold off? Thanks in advance

It is nothing important, as samsung says, overall improvement, what is bothering me is how did you get that update since you are rooted
I also received this update yesterday. I spoke with T-Mobile. They told me it was an update from Google. They also told me that I was one of the few customers out of the thousands to receive it. It was not in their system they had to update it themselves. Still kinda sketchy.

Yeah, this update bricked my device. SM-J700T.
Accidentally allowed it when clearing the annoying notification while watching youtube. Failed to flash properly. Somehow flashed a new sboot.img still. Tried to reinitialize with smart switch, but its still only listing apk6, and the update managed to only flash the sboot.img from AQC3, so i cant go back to APK6.
I tried as well with the AP from sammobile, and now have unknown baseband and invalid imei. Well, I'm 6 days away from my jump anyways, but I'd rather stick with this phone a while longer.
Any thoughts or advice? It boots, and it shows apk6 for build.
Hell, If any of you have the update.zip, I might be able to fix it still. I pulled the update from cache I thought, but it seems to be corrupt. Hell, maybe that was the problem? Maybe I can pop the update on sd (if anyone has it and would be willing to share?) and use stock recovery to flash it, and see what happens?
Thanks for any input.
EDIT: I have a friend with the same device, who was unrooted and on the new update. He wanted his rooted anyways, so I installed twrp, and used it to pull a backup of the system image, the radio image, the cache image, and used those to restore my phone. All is good. We're both on the last update, rooted and feelin good.

Hi.
Some weeks ago I did unlocked the bootloader and got magisk working and also rooted the phone. I have been using Google Pay since that. Today I went into settings and checked phone for new update. But it was the latest update. I pressed the three dots and selected "Download latest package" and the phone restarted in twrp after that but said it failed to update once the phone was restarted. After this I went to buy some food with Google Pay and it was working. Got home and now I got a pop-up window looking like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I then went into Magisk Manager and it says Magisk is not installed? It has been installed? Super SU says my phone is not rooted? So what strange things has happened?
I tried to install magisk again in magisk manager but it fails doing that.
Any ideas how to solve this? I really need Google Pay to work.
You can try Install Magisk.zip in TWRP again
EDIT:
I installed Magisk using TWRP now (had to flash twrp again using adb). It's strange however that I was not rooted yesterday but Google Pay does not work because it thinks I'm rooted?
So now Magisk Manager says Magisk is installed, and it seems that Google Pay is working again!
Also King Go Root says my phone is rooted now again. (which it was prior to yesterday)
So what really happend then with my phone yesterday? I just want to understand why Magisk was gone, and the phone was unrooted and TWRP gone? Was it because I did try to download and install the package from the phone system update? (which failed anyway, and I did pay with my card after that). This popup just appeared when the phone was picked up before I went to sleep. Any ideas?

Wow, thats bad news. Is there any way to lock the bootloader again?
For me, there was no point of unlocking and root the device anyway. (I thought that the Mi Note 10 would have more custom roms without Xiaomi bloat)
And I really need Google Pay to work, because I do not take my pay-card with me. So if a rooted and unlocked phone will cause this to spontaneously fail, it would cause a lot of problems for me.
However, strange that a re-install of magisk made the problem go away? If its a hardware-level key attestation my phone would be blocked even after a re-installation right?
If checking the Safety-Net status right now, Im passed.

Yeah, this is why I am waiting for the OTA. It's good that it's working for you, but it's likely that it will end sometime in the not too distant future.
