Samsung S7 Edge stuck on "Powered by android" - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

[Problem solved] If anybody faces this kind of problem please notice it is not the problem of Nand-erase but DRK error and flashing with .pit file won't fix your problem. Just go to this discord group, https://discord.gg/Z4UZheJ [permanent] and ask for #Augustin. He will solve your problem 100%. He did for me. Full working network + rooted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, I was trying to update my s7 edge (SM-G935FD) with Oreo 8.0 from Nougat 7.0 with a custom firmware from sammobile.com.
The used file is: sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935FD/BNG/download/G935FXXS3ERHD/236500/
But when flashing with Odin I accidentally selected "Nand Erase" option. After the operation completed my phone tried to boot up, showed installing updates, then tried to boot again and now permanently stuck on "SAMSUNG Galaxy S7 edge POWERED BY android".
Still, I can access "download mode" by using "Power + down + home" button and "android recovery" by using "Power + up + home" button.
While loading android recovery screen it shows, "Installing update..." then "Error" with an icon of android eyes crossed.
In my recovery menu, these lines are shown:
#fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#
#Reboot Recovery Cause is [UNKNOWN]#

I flashed with this same firmware to no avail. I have also tired "Wipe data / Factory reset" and "Wipe cache partition". Nothing worked.
Now, other people who have tired this firmware faced the same problem for #fail to open recovery_cause
But, in my case, as bold lines indicates, this is may be due to using "Nand Erase" in Odin.
I do have :
Nougat 7.0 firmware for my device [Please notice that its baseband is U2 - so I can't downgrade bootloader from S3 to U2 hence can't flash with Nougat]
.pit file for my device [not sure about this one - I actually need a valid pit file from the above firmware, others don't seem to work.]
I have tried Z3box / octopus / smart switch samsung software to recognize my device, but they always reply with "Card not found". My Windows treats my device as unrecognized in this situation.
Please help me fix this issue. I just have bought this phone - second hand.
-----------------------------------
Update - I tried to use stock recovery files to flash with TPRW stock recovery. After I did that It started the tprw recovery and I installled two files
1. twrp-3.1.0-0
2.SR3-superuser
It completed and when I selected to reboot my phone, it just won't turn on anymore. I guess it is due to my partition is all messed up. I forced it to start up using my charger cable and plugging it to charging. Using "Download mode" then I tried to uninstall this TPRW and flashed only "AP" with "G935FXXU2ERD5" with odin as I was unable to find any stock recovery for "G935FXXS3ERHD".
Now, I am stuck with U2 bootloader whereas I need S3 bootloader. My phone still doesn't turn on normally. I have to plug it in charging port / USB cable to pc, then it goes straight up to "Android Recovery" and Now shows this:

Please help me. I know I messed up, I shouldn't have used the TPRW recovery. Now I can't even flash with previous G935FXXS3ERHD or any U2 firmware. Please help me. I feel like crying.

I have similar issues. For me working result was
Flash original firmware latest from updato
Format data to ext4 and flash no verify
push TGP rom to data
install TGP rom with: flash bootloader, flash modem, flash tgp kernel: checked in Aroma Installer

Dear all,
I don't know how to say it, but a miracle just happened. My phone was stuck to "Android recovery" mode for half an hour. The charging cable was plugged in - in this time. Right before I am about to disconnect the cable in order to take it to repair shop, it started booting out of nowhere. :fingers-crossed:
Then I set up the device and the device installed applications by itself. God knows what happened but here is my system spec now :
Android version 8.0.0
Samsung Experience version 9.0
Baseband version G93FXXU3ERHC
Kernel version 3.18.91-13895453-QB19588583
Build number R16NW.G93FXXS3ERHD
The TPRW application is also installed.
I don't know what happened but it has managed to boot.
--------------------------------
The problem I faced is, It doesn't let me select any network carrier for my region instead it just says, "Failed to connect! Try again later."
Now I am afraid to even restart the device fearing if it gets stuck in the boot loop again. I am so scared I don't know if I will flash this device with any stock firmware anymore.
And the "Android recovery" option still shows "Installing updates" following with "Error" with android icons eye crossed out + shows previous error messages still the same.

Thank you, everyone.
If you could just help me solve my problems I will be always grateful to you guys and this community.
@jaqjacek if you can point out a tutorial to me or just explain the steps elaborately that would be helpful.
@yakapa40 if you can help me how to use those files, please.
My device is now booted up but still showing errors in "Android recovery" option + the sim network doesn't work.

What version of Odin are you using to flash?

Ok, sir, I will try and let you know. One question though, is there any possibility that my phone may be stuck in the boot loop again while doing this .pit flash?
My android recovery says:
Android Recovery
samsung/hero2ltexx/hero2lte
8.0.0/R16NW/G935FXXU2ERD5
user/release-keys
use volume up/down and power.

is there any possibility that my phone may be stuck in the boot loop again while doing this .pit flash?
i don't know , flashing pit file will remove partitions and flashing firmware will re mount partitions ( but not Non Volatile memory )

Dear sir,
I am still waiting for some kind of help. I haven't flashed my phone with .pit file cause I am too scared that my phone will get stuck in boot loop again. Please, somebody, help me. If I get stuck in the boot loop again, I don't think I can revert back to current position [Cause I don't know how my phone was fixed, it just fixed itself somehow.] and I can't take the stress. Please somebody who is an expert on this matter, please help me. I beg you.

I am still waiting for someone to reply to my post. I have not fixed my problem and honestly, I can't think I can until someone expert help me in this matter. Please, someone, help me.

I Fix that problem Yesterday on my phone. Download latest rom with proper country from https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=sm-g930f&exact=1&r=&v=&rpp=15
Unzip it
take out latest PIT file from CSC file. I just use Total Comander and treat tar.md5 file like any other compress archive
Use odin 3.13.1 put BL to BL, CP to CP... Use CSC file not HOME_CSC and remember you will lose your data on phone.
PUT pit in pit panel.
Flash it with every option check but one. The Reboot Phone should be uncheck.
When Every thing will be good restart your phone with combination Vol- + HOME + power
Phone will run erasing , reboot and show "no command" if not and its boot normally you lucky.
if "no command"
-put phone into download mode
download latest twrp.tar.md5 and put in in AP section inside odin
flash it with every thing uncheck in odin no reboot, no erase nand
reboot your phone and go to recovery vol+ + HOME + power when phone start booting
if TWRP boots just plug phone back to computer download no-verify script zip put it on phone and flash it, or use adb sideload
wipe cache and factory reset
reboot phone
every thing should be ok from now
if phone after some time will have poor network connection or GSM singal will be gone thats is the problem that I don't have fix for now.

Thank you for the very late reply. I have updated my post a long time ago and you will see following your method wouldn't fix my phone properly - the connection issue remained although the booting up was solved. You can't fix the DRK (Device root key) error in this process. You have to flash with a modified combination file to fix this error. It is only possible by the Samsung developers as the bootloader itself is in the Trusted App Sector.
I have mentioned in my edited post that Augustin in a PDA Group in Discord [The link is provided at the start] fixed my problem. As I followed his method, I realized no matter how many times I would've flashed my device with the stock Rom's .csc it wouldn't fix my problem. I initially thought that flashing with .pit file would fix my phone because I used Nand Erase - but I was wrong. It was a safety measure by Samsung to protect their device. You need a modified .csc file that Augustin gave me. I can give you all the files he gave me to use but I think it would be better if you contact him instead. The process is so complicated it took me 5 hours.
I flashed with the combination file he gave me, then flashed the stock rom's .csc separately. Then I tried to flash the whole ROM again. It worked but with no network. Then I installed TWRP recovery, edited some system file [I don't remember which one but he said to me that I needed refreshed new files], then formatted. Then did the whole process again. At some point, I remember I faced some problem with Bootloader exception [You will too because of the combination file but its ok], just follow this video when you need it cause he didn't know exactly how to fix this for the s7 edge but this video showed how.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9uSE4XbXvg
At last for many trials and errors my phone was fixed. I couldn't thank him enough bro.
I don't think anybody on the internet can fix this with custom combination lock like him. Trust me cause I searched a lot. They even kicked me from XDA Discord group when I posted this exact solution pointing out to the PDA group after asking to help me [when no one did]. I don't know what it is between them, but they kicked me.
You can have the files if you know what to do by yourself. Just give me a knock, I will give you the Google drive link to the files. Thanks anyway.

[Q] Stuck y installing android

Hi,
I'm trying for 2 complete days to install android 2.2 on my polaris now but I cant get it working.
Since i'm a complete newby probably it will be something very simple (i hope) but i'm getting verry frustrated at the moment haha.
I'm stepping over from WM6.1
What i have done:
I have a HTC Polaris POLA100
I have a 4gb Micro sd HC class 4
I'm trying to install Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS16 All Languages trough NAND
I have HARD SPL V2 on the phone
I have done all this steps: sourceforge. net/apps/ trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtoolsNand
When i boot my phone now i get:
linux logo in top: lots of text lines
then I get:
Mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on/sdcard failed: invalid argument
sh: 0: unknown operand
found boot parameter for system

On the sd-card I have

I've tried the NAND option on this page also: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921053

Rename the tgz file to "androidupdate.tgz" ,than put it in /sdcard/andboot/.install it when you enter the installer menu.Problem will be solved.
Same problems...
When i restart te phone with a soft reset and wait i will get the massage:
Failed
Install module for this kernel
When i manual try to install by keep pressing up the volume button after soft reset i get the massage
there is no such file on sdcard androidupdate.tar
I have checked several times there is a androidupdate.tar and a androidupdate.TGZ (same for androidinstall)
I also tried with only the .TGZ file and only the .TAR file
reformat the sd card.
done it several time... no succes

I need a solution to my problem please!!

Here is my story I think I corrupted my S8+ (G955F) when I tried to flash the German stock rom of Android Pie while I have a Moroccan MWD stock ROM 8.0 due to my bad cable! Since then I see this message in Recovery mode :
#fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#
#Reboot Recovery Cause is [UNKNOWN]#
Support SINGLE-SKU
File-Based OTA
Supported API: 3
# MANUAL MODE v1.0.0#

E: [libfs_mgr]Couldn’t get verity device number!
E: [libfs_mgr]Error removing device mapping: No such device or address

The problem is when I flashed again the stock rom of Android pie the phone acted weirdly showing a Moisture in the charging port and started to reboot randomly from time to time. So I downgraded it to 8.0 and it works very normal. I tried to reflash it with stock rom again and again but I am always having the same message on Recovery.
What could be the problem and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance for your help.

[problem] GPS issue/unknown system error

Hello, first i have to explain that i tried everything to avoid ask for help here, but i have no more ideas how to try a fix by myself.
I have a huge issue in my S8+ (exynos), the first is that GPS doesn´t working properly, the second (maybe because a nand system error), everytime i go to the original recovery, a error message appears.
#fail to open recovery_cause (no such file or directory)
reboot recovery cause is [UNKNOWN]

why i have these errors in my recovery, is the GPS problem related with this issue?
I tried everything that i know: rooted my device, backed up the EFS folder, used this thread and flashed my phone via TWRP, did a fully nand wipe (EFS included) without solving anything.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...1ara2-devbase-v5-0-encryption-t3752964/page61
I did a full nand wipe a lot of times, i also used a PIT file to rebuild the entire partitions, but something else still missing , my knowledge about this specific issue is very basic at this point.

Those errors are ok. It at least are on us snap dragon models. Some ones flashed as us based csc on it. This is not related to GPS. Do not worry about them leave it be.
I see you say GPS isn't working correctly. Which tells me it is just not good. Is this a correct assumption

well, it´s a akward situation because the GPS troubles started when i flashed a diferent rom that was not released in my country, mine is TPH, i flashed a unlocked firmware from Germany, but i did mess because put the second CSC file (that is used to keep personal data untouched) in the userdata tab in odin. :/
thanks a lot man

Big issue with G950F Samsung GS8

Hello everyone
I truly hope that someone can help me. I would like to say sorry in advance because Im asking a question I might find the answer to by reading the thread(s) myselfe. Only thing is - I truy don't know where to look. When it comes to phones Im lost, so to speak. And right now Im lost. I hope you can helpe me:
When I turn my phone on it boots up in androide recovery mode. I have tryed reboot system and wipe data. When wiping data I get this message:
#fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#
#Reboot Recovery Cause is [UNKNOWN]#
Support SINGLE-SKU
File-Bassed OTA
Supported API: 3
E:unknown volume for path [/odm]

E[libfs_mgr]is_dt_compatible():firmware info was not valid : ´/proc/device-tree/firmware/android/compatible : No such file or directory

Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache..
Data wipe complete.
E:[libfs_mgr]is_dt_compatible(): firmware info was not valid : ´/proc/device-tree/firmware/androdi/compatible': No such file or directory
Maybe it can be saved maybe no. The case is I don't know what to do next. All I know is, that a program called Odin might do the trick if you add the right "things" in BL, AP, CP and/or CSC??
Can someone please tell we what I need, and where to find it?
Kind regards

Can't boot Android or recovery mode

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8010. One day it suddenly stopped booting Android and wouldn't pass the first screen (it didn't even reach the one with only the Samsung logo, only the one that says "Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1"). I booted into recovery mode and tried to factory reset, but I got this error: "E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)." So I followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-fix-e-failed-to-mount-efs-invalid-argument.2858056/
Here is where the problem begins. When I rooted to remove the factory mode (just following the guide), I did it using CF-Auto Root. But then my tablet stopped booting to Android (again, not passing the first screen), and when I try to boot into recovery mode, the CF-Auto Root screen boots instead (even after flashing stock firmware and TWRP). On this screen, it says the following:
CF-Auto-Root

- Recovery: /dev/block/mmcblk0p6

Preparing cache . . .
Mounting . . .

Rooting (SuperSU) . . .
Restoring stock recovery . . .
Cleaning up . . .
Rebooting in 10 seconds . . .
Then nothing happens. It still doesn't boot into Android, and if I try to access recovery mode, I get to the same CF-Auto Root screen. I can only access Download Mode, but I don't know what to flash to solve the problem. As I said, I tried flashing the stock firmware and TWRP (when I did that, Odin said PASS!).
I have been using Odin 3.10 and flashing this firmware https://sfirmware.com/es/samsung-gt-n8010/ (ARO). I also tried with a firmware downloaded through Frija (probably the same one).
I think that's everything. If I missed any information, please let me know.
Any help is welcome!
Thanks,
Whilz.
Good afternoon. I cannot guarantee that this will help you, as I have not encountered this problem and have not used these instructions. But maybe this will help you.
I found these instructions on the russian forum of the platform our devices are built on (n80**, i9300, etc.)
I will give the translation in this post and links to the original posts.
Spoiler: E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument) and how to deal with it!
Original post: https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=514244&st=0#entry26179020
According to the instructions, you need to flash I9300_Repair_efs.tar.zip efs image via Odin3. IMEI and S/N will be lost, so you will have to think about restoring it.
Spoiler: Error "E: unable to mount /efs (Invalid argument)" or "failed to mount /efs..."
Original: https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=514244&st=0#entry24433995
Attention! This method will not raise IMEI and S / N without efs backup. If you do not have it, then you can only download your phone, but there will be no network.
Tested on SGS III​
1. If you currently do not have root rights, then download them from the link from the topic header, the version for installation via Odin, install.
2. Download Custom recovery. Also versions for Odin (.tar.md5), install.
3. Download AROMA Filemanager
4. Install the File Manager through the recovery as a normal update.
5. Run the built-in terminal File Manager (press menu / select "open console" or "terminal" from the list).
6. We write commands (after each enter - input):
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /efs
reboot
The commands are taken here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896470
7. Reboot into the system (reboot system now).
8. We read the instructions for restoring efs (who did what) and restore.
If during loading we see a translucent pop-up window with yellow inscriptions on the desktop
then we decide like this - Club of Samsung Galaxy S III lovers (Post # 16738476)

There's quite a lot of information here that I'm not moving here. Perhaps you can learn something for yourself by translating the page into the right language.
