Followed the guide here to root my T-Mobile S7 Edge. It worked buy my phone lagged terribly and before I could get around to figuring out how to fix that, my phone entered a bootloop where I couldn't get past the T-Mobile screen. I flashed the stock firmware so it's fine now. But I want to root again, so what can I do to ensure I don't run into the same problem? I have the Snapdragon version by the way. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello all,
If any of you pros can help me out with this I'll be eternally grateful.
So, I rooted my galaxy S2 with the guide on here and after superoneclick it just switched off. I booted it up and it just loops forever, yellow triangle then my provider (LGU+ Korea).
I can reboot into download mode and re-flash with XWKDD_insecure.tar. This starts the phone and I can access main features but it says rooted and I can't make any calls or 3g access.
As soon as countdown is up and screen locks (or I press lock) then the phone is bricked again and I have to re-flash just to get to that screen. So, I re-flashed and then ran the superoneclick program. Clicking unroot this time. It seemed to work and now I can get WIFI but no calls.
However, as soon as the screen is locked it is due a flash. Also, it's impossible to charge.
I'm new to this as you can tell but the guide is simple and I followed it step-by-step. I've read elsewhere on here that I can unroot this with a custom ROM? Where can I find these on the site?
Also, will they be applicable for me in Korea?
Basically I need to undo what I've done and get the phone reactivated. Please can somebody give me some advice and the download location of these ROMS that so I can get the phone reactivated.
Thanks in advance. Really stressing out here. It's on a rather expensive 2-year contract!

you are in wrong thread this is the forum were you should post your problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1563
Hello,
I have just installed an update following "[HOWTO] [ROOT] No Tripping Flash Counter [Tmobile / Wind / Mobilicity / Videotron]" thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687). I updated my S3 from stock 4.0.4 to 4.3 JellyBean version. Everything went smooth as I followed the instruction carefully, however, now I can't connect to windmobile network.
I am going to put all the info that might be relevant.
I am a noob, so when I first tried to update the bootloader I failed miserably and hard-bricked it. I took the phone to a repair shop, since it needed to be JTAG'ed. They promised me that they would fix the phone in one day, but they didn't and weren't happy with me that I was calling them everyday to ask whether the phone was ready. They asked me to take the phone without completely fixing it.
The good news is they revived my phone, so it turns on, which means I can fix it myself. The bad news is they couldn't find a working baseband to install. Anyways, I found the topic, mentioned above, and followed their instructions. In the topic, the author said that the ROM would update everything including bootloader and baseband, so I went for it, since it was the easiest solution. Everything went smoothly, except now I can't connect to network. I checked everything again and pretty sure I followed everything with a great care.
I have started digging around and found out that my phone is missing IMEI and IMEI SV, which might be the reason I can't register to the network. However, I am not sure, so I would greatly appreciate your help.
I am using Samsung S3 SGH-T999V. Thank you in advance and Happy New Year.
Alright guys so here is the whole story with how I "Soft bricked my GS3 I535 Verizon version 4.4.2
I rooted my phone with the application "Kingo Root". It worked flawlessly my phone was rooted and i was able to install SuperSU and rootchecker and a whole bunch of other great root only apps. After I realized how great rooting was I decided I wanted to change my ROM to cyanogen since that what most people seem to prefer for a rooted phone. I downloaded an earlier version of EZ UNLOCK app to unlock the bootloader to that I could access the bootloader to flash a new ROM. After I used the EZ UNLOCK and turned off my phone to get into the recovery IT WAS HARD BRICKED . Luckily though I found this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166 Which worked like a charm and had my device up and running again but was dependent on the new Ext SD card to boot up. When I got to the step where I was supposed to recover the Stock bootloader onto the device it seemed to work. I input the code in the Terminal that the instructions said to do with the debrick.bin file. (My file was actually a debrick.img disck image file) But I didnt think it mattered too much. After inputing the code and waiting for it to finish the process I tried to reboot to see if it would boot off of internal memory. Now it is stuck in a boot up loop AKA soft bricked i supppose. I cannot get into recovery as it is locked because of verizon stuff still.
At this point I have backups of everything I REALLY want to keep so If I can get to factory defaults even, that would absolutely fine.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP!
I apologize for the lengthy story but I feel the more info i give the easier it is for you to help.

I had a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime, I was watching
Some youtube videos on hoe to root your phone, I thought it would work because of how many likes the video got. I did not know about devices being bricked at this time. So i downloaded kingroot and attempted root. It said root successful, so i plated around with some rooted apps then I tried to restart my phone it showed this. Yellow triange (Custom Binary Blocked by FRP) I regretted everything. Then I got a new phone, same brand. 5 months after having the phone my friends told me that they rooted their device and it didnt get bricked, I was told if i use the newest version of kingroot i wouldnt get bricked, so of course I tried to root, GOT BRICKED AGAIN ?. A week after my 2nd phone got bricked there was this mothersday sale in T-Mobile, so i got an LG K7 for 96 bucks. Right now I have this bestfriend who has the same phone as me (LG K7) and he said he rooted it with no problems, not bricked. nothing. Right now im struggling if I should root or not. Is it only Samsung devices that can get blocked by the FRP? Help!!
