Hello, i recently attempted a root through my s7 edge, worked at first, deleted some factory apps through titanium and after a reboot my phone is stuck on the AT&T logo, ive tried factory resets, cleared caches, and multiple stock flashes to try and salvage my phone... when i flash with odin there is always a model mismatch error... when i tried and factory reset there is a dm-verity verification notification, if someone could point me in the right direction i would be very thankful, this is my 3rd day without a device and im starting to panic.

Galaxy S4 Sprint Encryption failed - stuck on Reset Device
Hello all,
First, forgive me if the steps I followed below don't make any sense, I don't really know much if what I am / was doing. Anyway:
I have a Galaxy S4 from sprint, L720
I'm about to sell my phone, and I few months ago I rooted it following this procedure using odin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-sprint/general/rom-100-stock-l720vod2-5-0-1-t3105760
Not too much to say here, this is just more of a background information.
Anyway, Because I'm selling my phone, I wanted to make sure my information was deleted securely form the device, and found that many people said it should be encrypted.
I tried to do that, and after a couple of hours of the phone stuck on a blank screen, I removed the battery and restarted it.
Now I have a screen that says "Encryption failed" - "Reset Device", only the button to reset it, does nothing.
I follow that guide again, installed that rom again.
I also have twrp, did factory reset, wiped all the data, and still, when I boot, I get that same message.
I have also tried to backup the data (after the debacle), restore it and factory reset the phone.
This leaves the phone stuck on the very first screen, "Samsung Galaxy S4", which maybe a good sign or not.
Any ideas?

Reflash your device with stock firmware and wipe it.

That worked. I had tried with other ROMs, such as the rooted one mentioned above and it did not work. The original one did. Thank you sir!
Hi guys
Im having a very weird issue with my galaxy trend, i want to do a factory reset because the device keeps restarting, it boots normallly but it restarts every time after 2 minutes. So i boot into recovery and perform a wipe data/ factory reset (the device is on stock recovery and firmware) as usual and it completes without any errors but when it boots nothing is erased, even the screen lock pattern, wallpaper, apps, everything is there. If i repeat the process i get the same results every time, by the way, i cant factory reset from the backup and reset option on andoid, it gets stuck on the erase everything button and pressing it does nothing.
Do anyone know why this could be happening?
Im downloading the stock firmware and flashing it through odin to see if that works, any help would be very much appreciated

I'll try posting there, anyway i don't have any hope left in the device, tried flashing stock rom via odin and it still doesn't do anything.
Doing some research on google it seems to be a hardware problem on the flash memory and only solution is replacing the mainboard
What i don't understand is why it doesn't give me any error when doing the factory reset when in reality the phone has not deleted anithing. I got a similar issue with a galaxy s4 that refused to write anything to it pretty much exactly as this device and gave up on it.
Hey guys,
I have encountered a serious problem on my device. Today I rebooted my phone once and it has just stuck on the samsung logo. Then the phone began to reboot without ending....It could not just start. With the help of TWRP I have made a full wipe and tried to reinstall my actual firmware Superman 1.10.5, but I always stuck at 25%, the phone did not respond to any actions. I even tried to flash the stock 4-file firmware with Odin, but it did not help, the phone constantly reboots. Sometimes it manages to boot to the stage where the sign "installation of applications" appears, but a while later it stucks again and reboots. Please, help me to solve the issue, because I am begininng to think that it would be unpossible to recover the phone. I am only able to enter the download mode or recovery, anything else does not work.
Thanks....

Really sad to hear that story mate. First things first, I assume your BL version is matching with the firmware your flashing right. And when you go to TWRP, can you see /system and /data partition from the mount menu? If not, you have to perform a factory reset. I had issue like that with my Galaxy S7 and usually factory reset(not wiping) helped me with that situation. Since your system can boot up, but crashes after awhile, I do suspect that some of your partition might be corrupted(at least its what happened to me). So trying factory reset can be a good bet for you.
And... I think you have to provide more information with which variant you are using, and your BL version, TWRP version too, solve the problem quicker. Hope this information helps.

Yep, you are right, BL versions always matched firmwares. I tried to wipe the phone with TWRP 3.0.2.3 and also to make a factory reset with the stock recovery. The stock firmware, which I tried to flash, was G930FXXU1BPH6_G930FOXE1BPH1_SER consisting of 4 files including BL,AP,CP and CSC. After 3rd or 4th flash of the same stock firmware the phone suddenly became alive and began to boot. Wu-huuu:silly: I was happy as a child. After having successfully launched the stock rom I have again flashed TWRP 3.0.2.3, went to "wipe" option and formatted data. Then I have installed a Superman Rom 1.12 and everything went the right way. I don't understand only one thing: why after having wiped the phone several times and having reseted it through the stock as well as TWRP recovery it didn't want to boot.
As you said, I suppose that the one of partitions was corrupted. Oh damn, I thought that I won't be able to resuscitate this phone.
I have flashed about 20 phones during my life, but I have never ever encountered such serious problems.
Phone stuck on "Checking Connection" screen after trying to flash stock rom.
I have tried looking at every forum my mind can handle and haven't been able to get any luck.. I'd really appreciate any help.
Device: G930A
I've been trying to fix without posting for help for a few days, I rooted my device then a day later it started acting weird (not being able to send texts on Samsung standard messaging app, then not installing apps downloaded from the play store then it went to not being able to use data on almost every app except Insta and default internet..
I don't know what else to try after attempting the stock flash to fix.. Odin says a few different errors depending on which file(s) I use.
Thank you guys and gals so much for any help you're able to give!
Boot to recovery and clear the caches
If that fails, factory reset
If that fails, flash stock

Hi, I recently tried to root my Samsung S7 Active G891A. I download something that was supposed to "root" my phone and installed it via Odin. After the install it said complete and I tried to boot up my Phone and it wouldn't boot up. It was go to the screen where its says "Samsung S7 Active" then the screen would go dark and it would replay again. I've tried reseting my cache and Factory Reseting everything but that doesn't work via recovery mode. Im guessing my original firmware is corrupted but I dont know how to go about fixing that. Can some please help me?

Greetings and welcome to assist. Is this the guide you used to root your phone ? If you hsve flashed the wrong files with odin that is probably the issue. The easiest way to make your phone boot is with smartswitch emergency firmware recovery
Good Luck
