Follow section 6.
or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867253
Or...
If you are looking the HE update why not just go with CleanRom 3.0. It is based off of the new HE update and is about 95% stock. The plus side is that most of the garbage (VZW bloat) is removed. It is MUCH faster and very stable.

If you haven't set everything back up again, you can clear data from Google Services Framework and try to "force" the update.

I saw somewhere here that if you're on HD then it won't update since that wasn't an official update. Idk how much truth there was to that. Have you tried updating by using the G7 OTA first?

We need quite a bit more info before we can help you out. What version of Android were you running before you tried to flash back to stock, 4.1.2, 4.3, or 4.4.2? Were you stock or running a custom ROM? What version of stock were you trying to flash, 4.1.2 or 4.3? From where did you get the stock file you tried to flash?

sorry about the lack of info I don't have the phone in front of me. I was running 4.3 using hyper drive. I tried flashing the stock 4.3 image and that's when it got stuck.

Looking in the development section, I see Hyperdrive is still on 4.1.2, so if you were running Hyperdrive you were on 4.1.2. The problem may have come from flashing the 4.3 stock image on a rooted, bootlaoder unlocked phone. Were you no longer wanting to have an unlocked bootloader and run custom ROMs, because flashing the 4.3 stock image would have locked you down like that. Are you sure you flashed a stock 4.3 file? If so you would probably have to proceed as if you were already on stock 4.3 just to play it safe. This may be you best chance at regaining a functioning phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166
Unfortunately since you phone does no boot, there is no way to confirm if it is currently on 4.1.2 or 4.3. That would give us a definitive answer on which fix method to use.

I'm sorry for the lack of information again :/ trying to help a friend out by fixing my old phone. Basically I was having space issues with safe strap so I tried to revert to stock and then this horrible mess happened. What you said is most likely true. I looked at that guide, but if it doesn't respond to any cables or power on how can I flash things to it?

If you were on safestrap, shouldn't you have had a fully stock ROM in the stock slot? Also from everything I read, you couldn't run Hyperdrive on safestap because you can only run 4.3 TW ROMs on safestrap. If you were running safestrap, that would mean you were on the 4.3 OTA of VRUCML1 and fixes for that would be your best bet, but since the phone won't power on I don't think any of the fixes here would work. Best bet may be to send it out for JTAG repair. I've seen mobile tech videos mentioned a lot for JTAG repairs.

Lol wow I'm really sorry, I've had a lot going on this week and my brain is all over the place. I was confusing my current s4 and the s3. The s3 was running regular cwm and was running Hyperdrive. I was having usual force closes and such and wanted to flash back to stock and I'm pretty sure I used the wrong file.

Oh man, that sucks. Do you think you possibly used an s4 file on your s3? If so, you will definitely have to send it out for JTAG repair if you can't get any response out of it. But it can't hurt to check out that thread I linked earlier and see if the SD card method can work for you. Good luck.

Pattern and pin both work ok. Never use password. The only thing I I've found so far is trying to click on Samsung cloud in settings causes it to report that it's closed. It seems to be working though since I logged into shealth. It just force closes from the settings menu.

Sure do. Tried the QE2 and QC7 files in @koop1955 's big post, but both get the same error. I imagine because I'm on S6 Edge, not just S6?
Although, now it looks like he's working on a new rooting method, so maybe I should hang back a bit for now anyway.

Thanks for this, very helpful. I'm in a similar state from the guy above, currently running Renegade OJ7 v1, my kernel is 3.10.61-S6_UniKernel_v9-0000_beta, baseband version G925PVPU3BOJ7 and TWRP 2.8.7.0 with the most recent version of SuperSU.
My question is: should I bother with updating the kernel as well as flashing the TAR you linked to, or is just the TAR good enough? After that, should I mess with TWRP or leave it alone? Once I get that done, if I'm looking for a clean slate, should I just wipe all partitions and flash the ROM? If you can answer any/all of these it would be hugely helpful for a guy who doesn't do that much flashing and can't swing $800 on the new S8 right now.
Thank you!

I still have my edge and am running this. All I can tell you is you have to update to nougat first (flash the tar I think). It's been a long time since I did it. Once my phone was updated to the new firmware I then installed twrp and flashed the rom. That's about all I can remember. In my case it got hung in a boot loop and I had to flash a second time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hey guys
Just rooted my S8+ 955U, however there seems no custom ROM available for my variant, there are a bunch for 955F and others, but those should not work with mine right?
Any ideas? Thanks
No they run on a different processor than ours also we have locked bootloader
Since I rooted device is very unstable, I might get back to stock firmware, can not see any positive thing after rooting. Do you?

Hello guys,
I have been following XDA for quite long time now and always could find answer for my question but this time I gave up..
I was so amazed by S7 performance that I never though I would need to go CF. 7h SOT on WiFi was common and 4,5h on 4G. But after Oreo came up it gotten worse and worse.
I really would like to roll back to Nougat offcial - so far I learned there is no way to achieve that easily but since I didnt find any straight answer I started to wonder if that is even possible?
At the moment Im on Oreo v.4 BL and custom Kernel which was supposed to help with battery drain on 4G...i mean it does a bit but this is still not what I am looking for.
Have anyone found a solution for draining?

Looks like flashing a custom 7.0 ROM is the best we can do for now
From what I understood, it's not possible to downgrade stock official nougat. Only custom ones using the oreo bootloader.

So what is the closest to official 7.0 ?
I have tried Lineage 16 lately but didn't like it. Not to mention that drain was still there...

Come on now you know its not that simple, bootloader doesn't reside on same partitions you can wipe with rom installs.
If I knew it wasn't that simple I wouldn't have asked. I figured if ROM's can update bootloaders they could downgrade them too.

We cant downgrade the bootloader. I also want back Nougat! Its was very better in battery life
So I have checked both Lineage and RR but it was even worse.
Yesterday in the morning I installed the latest stock Oreo XEO G930FXXS4ESC1 and the latest TGP kernel - it seems promissing. Got 3h25min SOT using only mobile network.
My battery life is 81% so the result with TGP is the closest to what I was gettin on Nougat.
If that keeps up I will stay with it. But I think I will give a try with Superman Rom v2.90.
