I attempted to root my S7 Edge from a Youtube video and I partially was successful. My phone had the custom OS lock logo when I booted it. However, when I used a root confirmation app it said I was not rooted. I believe I downloaded the incorrect firmware, it was SM-G935T but the rest of the code was different from my model. When I used command prompt there was an issue with having multiple emulators running and I tried everything. I decided to download the appropriate firmware and run it in ODIN. I had a AUTH FAIL. In addition, my device says that there was an error in updating the device's software. I tried both KIES and smart switch but both said that SM-G935T does not support initialization. Currently, my S7 Edge can only go into download mode and the "An has occurred while updating the device" screen. Please help! Thank you very much!

I have a Straight talk galaxy s7 SM-G930VL that I wanted to root. I followed a video on youtube and did get it rooted, although it's buggy as hell and i cant do almost anything without a "stopped responding" message. I Used Odin to flash an AP file that was given from the video, now when i boot up my S7 it has a little lock that says Custom. To my understanding that means it's detecting a custom rom is in use. Well this custom rom is slowing down my phone, bootlooping at some points, and being a real pain. I can't find the original firmware anywhere online and it's becoming a real headache for me. I need some help figuring out how to get my stock firmware back if possible, or some other solution.
If any other info is needed, I will be glad to provide it, thank you.
Edit: Now I can't even boot up the system. When i do, it says Samsung Galaxy S7 then the little lock icon that says custom, powered by android.
Also I used the recovery settings and it says it can't mount /system
So as of right now, my phone is totally useless.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V from Verizon and I have been trying to change it to the DarkLord ROM that is a Modded Mix between Note 7 & Edge ROM.
I at first had problems rooting the phone with Odin (it always failed) so I search and search and found a tool called ArabicTool which took care of it and finally I rooted my phone, after that I tried adding TWRP so I could change the ROM but every time I added the recovery tool I got the message saying that the “System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone” and then had to do an emergency restoration using Kies3 and the cycle began again with other methods but always the same result.
I would like to know if anyone has a way to change the ROM on a SM-N900V from Verizon, I have seem some guides that claim the process works with the SM-N900V but every time I try to do them I get the message of software not authorized when I install the recovery app TWRP and then I have to do an emergency restore in Kies3.
Please help anyone it would be really appreciated.

Hi everyone, I bought this samsung s7 sm-g930w8 phone and I tried to root the phone but was unsuccessful.
Now I can't enable OEM unlock. It's not grey out but it just unenable.
For some apps it said can't be opened on a rooted device. When I checked with rootchecker it said root access not properly installed.
I already tried to unroot and do a firmware reset but nothing change. Please help. Thanks

So that is a Canadian Exynos device yes?
First thing to try is to make sure your following any guides exactly and are using the correct version of any files. Then try rooting it again. I'm going to assume your using Odin in download mode and it doesn't give you any errors but a "pass" when complete.
Also I've always found it much much easier to install TWRP first then root.
If none of that works,download firmware,flash with Odin and use Home_csc so you don't lose your data.
It would be helpful if you provided your firmware version, cell carrier, locked to carrier? Etc
I dont know if i should post this here but here i go. Hey Guys i am very new to xda and very new to rooting. i recently rooted my galaxy s7 edge (sm-g935fd)

The firmware that you are trying to flash is giving you the sw rev error because that firmware is an older/downgraded version than the version that is already on the phone. You have to flash the firmware that is the same as what is already on the device or a newer version, you can't flash an older version. Find the newest, most updated firmware that you can find for your specific model number.
Do a Google search for:
"Stock firmware for SM-G935FD"
Then find the newest available version that is made for your specific region/carrier.

Odin runs on a PC under Windows. (Saying you downloaded it to an SD card made me think you were trying to run it on your tablet.)
Try to use the Search function on the site. There's probably a thread on rooting the S7 Edge. There's definitely a thread on Magisk.
Here are the Magisk installation instructions.
Don't start with "I don't know anything, somebody tell me how." Read a lot of posts, at least learn some words.
Was I wrong to assume you want to root your tablet? What made you decide you wanted Odin? What is stopping you from Googling "unlock"?
Before you do anything destructive, find and download a copy of your current ROM, so you'll be in a position to recover. You can test burning a ROM without unlocking the bootloader, as long as it is an official Samsung-packaged ROM.
Good luck.

Well, you can't. Odin is an IBM PC program that runs under Windows. It is used to ship ROM files to a Samsung tablet. The tablet must be in "download mode".

Find the S7 Edge forum for help unlocking.
Odin is not part of unlocking. Odin is for downloading software to the device. I think you can use Odin without unlocking -- you will only be able to flash images. You could try flashing a stock image for a different language, just to see if it works. (Pick a language you think you will understand well enough to see how to change the language back to your preferred language.)
A separate step, with no reference to Odin, is unlocking. I think it is usually delete any Google account you have attached to the device, enable Developer Options, enable "bootloader unlock" in Developer Options, reboot to recovery or download mode (I'm not sure which), expect some message like "hit Volume Down to unlock" (could be Volume Up), accept that it will wipe data.
Once you are unlocked (verify by booting Android again, and checking the Developer Options to see if the "unlock bootloader" option is still enabled, but is now greyed out), you can try using Odin to download non-stock software. In particular, it is at this point that you might try to flash a Magisk-patched software to try to install Magisk. With Samsung, as of when I did it, installing Magisk will again require wiping data, so do not spend a lot of time configuring your device between unlocking the bootloader and installing Magisk.
one can't bypass FRP lock on Samsung devices. what you try with Odin3 is impossible, it won't reset FRP.
find another method for that model, there exist some cheats on YouTube
