Hi guys,
Last night I went to sleep and my Galaxy S7 was working just fine. When I woke up, I saw that my phone was stuck on the Samsung logo and can't boot up. I was wondering if I could do a firmware reposition to solve this problem without having to wipe my data (as I didn't have the opportunity to make a proper backup). Is it possible? I want to install the stock firmware.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
You can flash with ODIN if you use HOME_CSC instead of CSC it will flash the firmware without wiping, but first try booting to recovery and clearing CACHE, that might solve the problem alone
I've wiped the Cache Partition once and didn't work. Will try doing it again right now. Any other suggestion?

Hi, *Detection*
I've wiped the Cache partition and it didn't work. Could you walk me through the use of HOME_CSC instead of CSC while installing? Should I apply BL, AP and all the other?
Thanks

Upgraded rom today when I found of there was an official 4.3 upgrade for the Verizon GS3. Looked around and found this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600305 Before that, I was on the last official stock, flashed deodexed rom.
Installed rom zip via CWM, rebooted. After loading screen, it starts upgrading apps. It got stuck on 82 of 601. After 15 minutes, I booted into recovery and wiped cache (failed to do this during initial install, it never was a problem before). Reboot, gets stuck on 93 of 465. Hard reboot, total number keeps going down, but keeps sticking.
After several hard reboots (pulling the battery), I got it down to 1 of 1, but it won't go any further. It's been about an hour.
What do I do next?
While waiting for ideas, I'll hard reset, boot into recovery, wipe cache again, and see what happens.
Edit: Wiped cache partition from CWM, rebooted, still stuck at 1 of 1.

I believe you may need to use ODIN to manualy re-flash the 4.3 update. NOTE: This will lock your bootloader, but seeing as how you have already upgraded it already is.

Do I specifically need to find a rom that is Odin flashable, or should I try another zipped package flashed through recovery?

Don't use Odin to flash the official tar file, you'll lock your bootloader and you'll be stuck.
Wiping dalvik cache should work, but if it doesn't then do this.
In recovery factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system, then format internal sd card (this will erase everything on your phone). Then reflash the rom again.

I wanted to try something else before formatting the card and having to deal with that, so I downloaded the zipped rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591895
From CWM I wiped cache (again), wiped dalvik (again), and installed rom. On reboot, went through app optimization without any problems.
I'm not sure what the problem was, but I fixed it by using a different rom.
Thank you for the help.
The Wifi on my phone wasn't turning on, even after factory reset, so I reflashed stock ROM via Odin (v3.07)
I got stuck in a bootloop, and after factory reset via the stock recovery + wipe of cache partition, it was still stuck.
I then re-flashed the stock ROM. Still stuck.
Tried using Kies 3, with the firmware upgrade and installation tab. Said something about not supporting my phone when I was prompted to plug it in. (SM-G355H; Samsung Galaxy Core II Duos)
I then found an unofficial version of CWM v6 for my phone (there's no official support), and quickly flashed that (via Odin 3.09; which is what I use from this point on), forgetting that my phone was no longer rooted. I wiped davlik cache and data. Still stuck. Then I rooted my phone. Stuck.
Then I reflashed stock ROM (this time, I downloaded from another website) (to test my luck, I tried seeing if simply a factory reset and cache wipe would work. It did not) rooted my phone, and flashed CWM. Wiped davlik cache. Still stuck.
By the way, when I wipe davlik cache it says:
Warning: no file_contexts
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Davlik Cache wiped.
Any ideas on what to do now? I can't send it to a manufacturer / repair store where I live. I'm thinking maybe I should untick Auto Reboot and/or F. Reset Time when flashing, use an earlier version of Odin or the ROM itself, or maybe there is something I can do with ADB? I'm not very familiar with it, but I'm more than willing to learn. I just need some direction...
Update: Flashed with Auto Reboot unticked. Still in bootloop.
Flashed with same ROM, different country. Still in bootloop.
Alright, I fixed it by using Kies, via firmware upgrade and installation. You have to ignore where it says that your device is not supported, and just leave it to download. If you get stuck on the setup screen like I did, try cache wipe + factory reset. If it doesn't work flash an earlier version of the firmware. You might be using the wrong region (It's not always your country), use Kies to check. When it tells you what pda/ modem / csc it wants to update the region will be in parentheses ( eg ACR). Use all of them possible
Hi,
Not sure where im going wrong really, i used odin to flash a firmware, i was expecting it to wipe the phone completely which is what i wanted it to do because i wanted to start afresh with a new firmware but after installing i still has the remnants of the previous rom on like the theme didnt change, it didnt even bring up the initial setup screens. i did not change any of the Odin tickboxes, am i missing something?
Many thanks
After the odin installation, boot into the samsung recovery and wipe data + system + cache
Hi,
I want to ask about my phone j700h i dont know if dead or what.
first my phone firmware is Marshamallow then i downloaded A5 Port rom and install and success and then i saw "Speed Fusion Remix " i think its cool so i downloaded and create backup using TWRP and install "Speed Fusion Remix " and Success and when i use the "Speed Fusion Remix " i tried gps test apps in My Room and i saw slow locking location then a few hours i tried to go back to A5 Port Rom using Restore TWRP and success boot. and i tried to GPS test in my Room but also slow and i tried outside my house and then there is a bunch of GPS satellite so i think "Speed Fusion Remix ROM" have no problems. Once Again i tried to Flash "Speed Fusion Remix ROM" and after installation my phone went BLACK it won't charge, I can't go to Recovery mode but i can go to Download Mode. So i downloaded he Official Firmware J7 then Flash Using ODIN software and Success flash, but it won't BOOT and Black Screen also. I cant Go to Recovery, Only DownloadMode is Function.
WHY? Can you Help Me?
Did you do a full wipe - data, system, cache, dalvik cache - before flashing with Odin?
Odin defaults to 'upgrade' while preserving data.
If you didn't wipe before the Odin flash you now have a 'mix' of roms on your fon.
Edit
First try to reinstall TWRP using Odin.
If that fails proceed as below.
Since you can't go into recovery to wipe anymore, retry Odin but select Re-Partition under options.
If that fails use SmartSwitch emergency recovery.
You're such a flash whore! . Like me :silly:
Good Luck!

HI all

Everything went cool but now I'm stucked at Samsung Logo
( Been waiting fro a good 30 minutes...Logo still breathing but seems to stay for ever )
Any idea to make it boot normally
Did you flash CSC or HOME_CSC?
If HOME_CSC, boot to recovery and factory reset
Or Flash again with CSC
