Download (G935F EDGE!): XDA-thread - S7 edge 7.0 download.
I have a few questions as I'm new in the "game".
Answers 1-5 provided by Coto39, give him a thanks if he helped! Answer 7 goes to Poncespr; same as usual!
1) Should I unroot before flashing?
After you flash the new rom your phone will be unrooted again. You will loose also the custom recovery!
2) What kind of backup should I make? Is the one in the android settings enough?
Backup everything you have in the internal memory to you pc. Also use the samsung cloud backup (it will backup a lot of things but not everything (like the whasapp and downloads folders in the internal memory)
3) What do I do if I find out the firm I flash is "the broken one"?
Then you flash a 6.0.1 stock rom again and that's all. (You can downgrade!)
4) Can you go back to 6.0.1 after going to the beta?
Yes. (Answer 3)
5) Which files do we flash? Which can we keep out? (home_csc for instance?)
All of them. Flashing CSC will wipe the internal storage so backup first! (Answer 2)
6) Does flashing android N via Odin will result to Tripping knox?
No.
7) Are there any knox-arounds for being able to use Health Or Gear Again? ("Knox is not available on compromised devices!")
"I used package disabler to block knox and gear plug-in (not the gear app). After that I reset my gear s2 and reconnected. So far so good." (Gear S2 working!)
If you were impatient, like I, and didn't backup on pc - then you're goofed! Images, contacts, layouts etc will be gone, sorry to say. Always backup!

WARNING: you can flash the betas only if your phone is the exynos variant. If you attempt to flash those roms to the sbapdragon variant you'll get a hard brick.

No.
Are there any knox-arounds for being able to use Health Or Gear Again?
I've flashed it on my s7 edge but now i see on download mode:
System status: Official
Current binary: Custom
Knox warranty void: 0x0
Other one have current binary Custom?
Do I need to set OEM unlock if I flash with Odin?
can i flash marshmallow 6.0 csc, having ims service problems when simcard is inserted
U can flash this firmware only if your phone is unlocked.
Is that correct?

s health does not work and i hope they get s health working when the final release is out.

Does "current binary: custom" lose your warranty?

Didnt know there was an ND5. There wasnt even an ND5 when I downloaded the kernel source code from samsung. And nope, There like 2 knox files in the entire firmwares which is just left behind crap I believe. Absolutely does not give you a knox bootloader and crap tho. Do make sure your tablet is a T230NU model and not just a T230 model.
Thanks a lot for this. So if I'm rooted and want to install system updates I would first backup data to sd card via titanium ,(or to pc?) , then factory restore via settings, Odin with this firmware, install updates, then vroot + terminal supersu, then restore backups.... correct? I'm still trying to figure out what bloatware is safe to remove...a guide on how to clean a out of the box tab 4 7.0 would be greatly appricated....
Will this Root my T230NU?
Hi, I am new to the Android market and I was wondering if this "stock" image will root my Samsung Galaxy 4 T230NU.
I am a formerly iDevice owner and I am quite familiar with Jailbreaking.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hello Ed,
I'm kind of new as well however I can tell you that this process will not root it. In my case, because I updated the software I had to use the stock Rom in order to downgrade and then root it. ShinySide explains the.. Rooting procedure in another post
thanks!

I just used these links to download the firmware and they worked great. Mega took 1/3 as much time to pull from as Sammobile. Thank you Shinyside! You are awesome. If I wasn't a broke college kid I'd would def donate.
---------- Post added at 01:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ----------
So I rooted my Tab 4 7" and then decided to switch to Nexus 7 and sell my Tab 4. Both great devices but the specs and updates draw me to try Nexus after the Tab. Anyway, I went to Sammobile to get the Stock rom and inadvertently ended up with the Nook version. OOOPS. Had to reflash but the second firmware I downloaded from Sammobile (at about 1 hour each, ugh) kept failing. Even after wiping the Cache and resetting I could not flash with Odin. Tried placing the image on the SD and installing in Recovery and still no luck. Then I turned to the ONLY source for self support of Android and found ShinySide with the stuff I needed. Downloaded with the Mega link which took 20+ min instead of an hour and it flashed straight away and my Tab 4 is back to being a Tab 4 instead of a Nook. Just wanted to give props to ShinySide for his efforts on behalf of the community and his patience to put up with noobs even when they do/say silly stuff!
Thank you so much!!
Ive been trying to download this file from all these crappy sites and they keep timing out thank you so much.
Thanks for the great info.

thank you
HI so i tried installing twrp recovery for my SM-t230NU And it got stuck in bootloop after trying to load custom recovery. Not a single Tar file md5 file worked until i got this rom and USED odin to install it. Odin just kept crashing on me till I got here and used the md5 file provided. It pushed the files while in download mode and rebooted and even still had all my apps and email going.
Again thank you so much and please reply if you have the same device and need help. I thought i bricked my Christmas present.

I am helping a person try and retrieve photos from a Samsung Galaxy S6 that is stock at the lock screen. The finger print scan is not working and they do not know there back up password. I researched two ways to get around this.
1. Entering in the google account user name and password
2. Signing into Find My Mobile with the samsung account information and unlocking the phone
If both of these options fail due to the owner not remembering there above credentials is there any other way to retrieve photos. How about putting the phone in dfu mode and using a program on a computer to copy photos from the internal storage. Is something like this possible? Appreciate any help on this issue.
Maybe flash a stock ROM with Odin?
That way all the data stays in tact and it may remove lock screen.

Thanks for the quick response. The lady is paranoid about losing her photos! Therefore flashing with Odin Stock Rom will not remove any data from the phone. Do you have instructions or a link on how to do this.
I also am able to sign into her google account through the web browser, but when I use those credentials to try and unlock the Galaxy S6 it says that the user name or email is wrong. Thanks

Sounds like she could be learning a hard lesson. Backup passwords, knowing what accounts you used to setup, photo backups all exist for a reason.

I totally agree with your assessment! I don't understand how I can log into her Gmail account via the web and then when I enter the same information at the Galaxy S6 Unlock via Google it does not work. Could this have something to do with not being connected to the internet. It is saying that 4G LTE is connected. Doesn't seem to be a way to connect it to WiFi without unlocking home screen.
If this was my phone I would have no trouble trying to flash the Odin stock Rom, but do not want to lose her info incase someone else can retrieve it. Does flashing the Odin stock ROM wipe everything on the phone or does it retain photos and other information. Thanks
I'm in this same situation. Is there anyway to retrieve the pictures? Flashing with Odin does not wipe the phone?
Wasn't life easier when we had removable sd cards...?
Flashing the system partition does not touch the data partition.
Do you know how she managed to break the fingerprint reader, by the way?
My G920F stuck on bootloop because of fail on rooting and I was afraid of losing all my photos. First I flashed TWRP with Odin, booted to recovery mode and pulled photos and videos out with adb. Then I flashed stock firmware with Odin and made a factory reset (not mandatory). Everything is working fine now.

I suppose doing this you had USB debugging ENABLED before the boot-fail? Or does it turn on USB debug when flashing TWRP?

Agree WahFai, much simpeler with SD-card! So you think flashing system partition will do the trick. I'll go read up on that, how to flash the system partition. In my case, afaik, the fingerprint reader did not break. The system failed accepting the unlock code from one day to another and she does not remember the backup code for the reader. Thanks for your reply!
All she wants are the pictures on the phone. She recently got a baby, all the pictures of the delivery are on the phone, so you sense the urgency to not loose the pictures. She'll still feel the effects 18 years from now.
By the way: does flashing the stock rom with odin void the warranty? Because the phone is still on warranty...
Flashing a stock rom via odin will not trip knox but flashing a custom recovery will.
Thanks for clearing that out for me.

Check droidviews article of "How to Push and Pull Files on Android using the ADB commands".
I'm pretty sure that knox will be tripped.
Also go to my profile and check thread that I've started. I explain there how I did it.
If you've any problems post here or pm me.
I now found the instructions on how to pull files with ADB. I connected the phone to my pc and checked if the device was recognized. This was not the case. Does this mean, that the USB debugging was not enabled?
Edit: Thanks dsimpe. Saw the post too late again. Note to self: need to refresh page before making a reply... I'll go check out your posts. Thanks again.

My device wasn't recognized either before I flashed TWRP with Odin and I booted to recovery mode.

Dear people of the internet,
I am proud to represent the few countries that remain untouched regarding the OTA update on the SM-G920F.
I'm wondering since I've not gotten the update, if I could flash it and it would be like a normal Over The Air update process?
I do not want to trip the Knox counter since I'd like to sell the phone in the future or just be covered by my warranty.
So. TLR, Can I get the 6.0.1 update like OTA but flashing it? Will it void my warranty? Will it trip knox counter? Will it automatically
become rooted(something I don't want)?
I've heard some people getting fail in Odin(hidden.img), how can I prevent that if I do flash it?
Thanks in advance
TLDR: yes, no, no, no

usually flashing a stock rom via odin does not trip your knox, except if then you flash a custom rom and then install superSU.. btw YES, if you flash MM via odin will work as an "OTA"
I tried to flash stock to my s6 and it failed and the knox counter went up so voided the warranty it's a brand new phone not happy wanted three stock on the phone now it's not covered not amused tbh can't even root the phone tried pingpong root failed android l knew what I was trying to do . So yes even if u flash with odin the counter will go up I wouldn't risk it tbh

Thank you, I won't flash because of you.
Personally it's up to you but flashing a stock rom won't trip Knox. I flashed a stock FW to remove bloat and everything was absolutely fine.
I'll be flashing a stock 6.0.1 as soon as I can actually find one on here.

Cheers for future updates dude but I was doing some chores anyway so I just waited
Just powered up from the update, like the new ui, no visible problems so far :good:
---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------
So to answer the previous question,
1. Download the French XEF rom, extract the rare file to somewhere you can find it.
2. Fire up Odin on your PC.
3. Click on the AP setting and select your extracted file.
4. Put your phone in download mode and connect it to your pc via USB.
5. Wait for your phone to be recognised and press start in Odin.
6. Wait until Odin is completely finished and your phone reboots, this takes a while, don't panic just wait patiently.
7. Disconnect from PC and enjoy.
My phone is the SM-G920F variety, which I had previously debranded from 3 mobile.
I put the language setting to French for the update and switched it back after, no idea if this was important, just read some guy said he did it in another thread. I doubt it's necessary.

Did you do a factory reset before updating? Did you backup anything, and if so, how can I do that?
You didn't have to do anything with a pit file?

I already posted every step I took from beginning to end.
There weren't any hidden steps, I didn't factory reset, I didn't flash any other files. I lost no data and I'm still on BTU.
I'm sorry, but, do I need to download the French version?
It's unbranded.
It's makes no difference at all, just change the language back to whatever afterwards. I'm in the UK and it works flawlessly.
Do you have a IMEI issue or are you getting a DRK error?
This is either when your IMEI and/or Baseband shows Unknown (or a bunch of zeros) or you may be getting a DRK error when trying to boot your phone (sometimes even both).
This is caused by a missing or damaged EFS partition and can be repaired.
I am here to help. Some of you may have seen my guide over in the S7 forum which helps to fix this issue. Well, I plan on creating a similar guide for the S8.
In the meantime, if you are having any issues as mentioned above, please complete THIS FORM. Once I have received your form I will get back to you with information advising what can and cannot be done. I will then send instructions on how to fix your issue. This will also help towards creating my guide as it will give me some insight into the S8 EFS partition. As I do not have an S8 myself.
Hi.
I've got a Samsung galaxy note 5, model no. SM-N9208 TAIWAN.
I am having problems with DRK missing and dm-verity issues. Someone helped me with a by-pass fix but this only works with Marshmallow. If I upgrade to Nougat the bypass does not work as I get stuck on the "device does not have DRK, please install DRK first" screen.
Ever since I got this phone in September 2015, every time Samsung has done an update the phone no longer works in my car via the Rsap connection to my cars head unit. Rooting the phone, installing the RSAP app used to work fine up until Marshmallow, so something that Samsung keep doing with each update defeats the connection, so I've messed around and messed around until something that I've done has upset the phone, Samsung or both and now it won't upgrade to Nougat because of DRK being "missing" or dm-verity blocking things! any help would be much appreciated !
I have been told that the modem\radio part of the software might be to blame for refusing the Rsap connection, dunno if that gives any clues.
Best Regards.
Ian.
hope to see a new combination from you
pleeeeeezzzz tell me there is a fix now?
Hi CuBz90! (sorry for my poor english)
Well, having a S8+ (955F) i got stuck in the first screen when its says "DRK Error". I was installing the latest AQG5 version to re-root, and install a custom rom when i have problems. TWRP cant run and mount well the external sdcard and OTG. So, i read a post that said it was for this latest Bootloader. This guy says:
"If you have flashed the latest AQG5 firmware and now stuck in a bootloop of the Samsung logo and only able to get into download mode here is the fix thats sorted many out. Stop sweating your not screwed lol After many hours of doing just this with @sebastassara and another guy we got it sorted
1. Download earlier firmware AQF7
2. Hold power, volume down and bixby button for download mode
3. Open Odin on your PC
4. Add the AQF7 BL and only this
5. Hit start and straight after this hold the 3 buttons in again power, volume down and bixby (this should fail at first and bring you straight back into download mode)
6. Now back on Odin spam the start button this time (this should flash the BL and have you sorted again)"
So, i did it! And now im here. Im completing your form but i dont have a EFS backup...
So, what can i do?

UPDATE 1: Reflashing the AQF7 BL (in a AQG5 ROM) now i can install TWRP. I backuped the EFS (2mb aprox.). Try reinstalling again all the AQG5 rom but nothing. Im downloading the complete AQF7 rom, just in case. I dont know what to do.

This guy, up here, @dannytgt its a f...ing genius!
I have my phone fully functional again! Now, running Renovate ICE 3.0.
1) First at all, i have to flash entirely the stock firmware AQF7 (a total donwgrade from AQG5).
2) When im in the blue screen with the "Error DRK" just reboot the phone into Donwload Mode.
3) Flash the CF_Autoroot .tar/md5 from the original zip via ODIN. Its a .zip so you will have to extract the .tar/md5.
4) The phone will restart and begin install the stock rom.
5) In my case, the IMEI was ok but the phone still saying "Emergency Call" so reboot again in Donwload Mode, flash TWRP and later the Dm-no verity zip.
6) Wipe Dalviks and caches and reboot to system.
7) Enjoy again your phone!

Hi Luigi!
Sorry for the late answer. To solve that problem you just need to install the dm-verity zip (can find it here, in this page). Reboot in recovery mode, install the zip and reboot into system. Everything should be fine.

Hey all . I recently recovered my imei back on my g955f!! One problem. My serial number does not match the one that came with the phone. Imei matches up but serial doesn't. Does this matter if I'm trying to make calls from my Phone? Phone is not blacklisted.
Hey, can you elaborate on your process? I have a sm-g955f with a null IMEI (00000000) that is sitting in my drawer for a month now. Be good to revive the sucker. Did you also have a DRK issue?

Hi! Does anybody know how to make EFS backup for Samsung G950U without root?
Thanks
Hi!
I have an S8 G950N from Korea. It had been rooted. I want to go back to stock without root then i flashed the original stock firmware, but it showed me that the the device does not have DRK and not boot. After that i had flashed the CF_Root then it boot normally.
Can u tell me how to fix that DRK missing?

So, there is a LOT of fuss going on with Oreo Beta.
We all want the latest version of Android and it;s not easy, as Samsung definitely step-ed up their game this year.
We won't have any Odin flashable ZIP combo this year, and it gets really frustrating trying to get into the beta nowadays.
//===============
This is where this thing comes in :
First of all, the version you are on DOES NOT MATTER.
Secondly, you need TWRP in a working state.
Thirdly, BACKUP EFS. I am not responsible if anything goes wrong. This works on my device, but I cannot be responsible if ANYTHING GOES WRONG.
If you cannot mount /data, format your data from TWRP, but backup everything before.
The following steps are to be used using internal data, even if it probably does not matter, let's keep it simple shall we.
These steps will format your INTERNAL STORAGE. BACKUP ALL YOUR PICTURES ETC ETC.
Also Mount points seems to be different in Oreo, so TWRP is not able to mount /data at all.
Once TWRP has formated data, choose reboot, and reboot to recovery.
From there, once TWRP has rebooted, proceed to make a short and simple backup, for boot.img for exemple.
This step ensures you have correct folder structure and all.
Plug your phone to your computer, and browse through it.
Go to TWRP/Backups/somerandomnumbersandletters/
Paste the extracted folder that I provided in the .rar
Go back to main TWRP menu, choose restore
Restore the boot and system from there.
Wait for it to be done, and reboot.
This has DM Verity off, and will boot for sure. The boot literally takes ages. On the first try I almost gave up before I've seen the LED turning off and system starting.
And it also has Knox turned off.
It is a dirty method, but it does work, and with this you can have Oreo as a daily driver.
Oh, and there is no root. I've heard SuperSU works flawlessly, but did not try as I am fine without it.
Enjoy.

Ok, Beta 2 is here : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1F62EQ4Vdj6yAvL8uGRYOSFLQMrWbVeH9
Please note that if you want a flash-able version, you can find it here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...1-10-flashable-oreo-twrp-dump-beta-2-t3703083
A little bit of change for the installation, sorry about that :
Restore TWRP backup,
Flash https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip
I forgot to change the build.prop before making the backup, so this will boot but will reboot randomly.
To fix that, flash https://drive.google.com/open?id=1L0y7PXRaucMbW7Oe5yIAkGeF9t0zrETD

If you have TWRP, and ready to sacrifice a bit of time, and if you have all your data backed up, yes you can proceed with that.

Yup

It works quite well, but Touchwizz launcher has issues, that's the only software bug I've experienced for now, that can be directly implicated from the beta itself.

Great, glad to hear, also battery might be wrong, as its using 955F stuff. I wont bother fixing it, as percentage should work correctly, but reported capacity is not correct.

I got beta with tripped Knox. Having tripped Knox doesn't stop you from getting updates, if you have root that stops you from getting updates
Does this work with G955F?
