Hello,
I am new to this site so sorry if I'm doing something wrong. My Dad recently somehow (soft?) bricked his S7. Sometimes it gets to the lock screen, but then completely freezes after a few seconds and it has to be forced off. Other times it has given me a black screen with the error:
Bootloader exception
[ RST_STAT = 0x1000000 ]
Exception: do_handler_sync: UNKNOWN(esr: 0x2000000)
! @ @ @ @ D @
pc : 0x8f000a00 lr: 0x8f000048 sp: 0x0206f (cut off here)
'
And other times it has frozen at the boot screen and the screen has become pixelated.
So, after trying Kies (useless), waiting 24 hours and attempting to connect it to adb and fastboot (which I presume isn't really possible), I have resorted to using Odin to flash TWRP 3 onto the phone. However, when I try to flash the .tar (twrp-3.0.0-0-herolte.img.tar and also the latest one), no matter what USB port or cable or PC I use, it always goes straight to "NAND Write Start!!" and goes no further.
Any help would be appreciated as my Dad needs his phone back ASAP.
Thanks.
Side Note: I'm flashing it so I can recover his data, then I'm going to flash the factory firmware onto it.

Hi mate
First what s7 model do you have?
Make sure you are using the latest odin?
oding settings?
flash same or newer firmware on the phone
What files are flashing?
Check this thread is a nice guide for flashing stock firmware

Hey.
I can't check the model as the phone is bricked. All I know is there are only two versions and I'm pretty sure it's not Korea. I'm not flashing any firmware, because I want to get his data off the phone and I'm pretty sure flashing firmware will erase user data. Just trying to get TWRP onto the phone. Odin settings: F. Reset Time ticked, nothing else. Odin version: Odin 3 v3.09. Flashing the .img.tar file as specified in my post.
Thanks.

hi mate
there are more than two versions of S7...... how you know you are flashing the right image? at least you know if you have an Exynos version?
If the phone is bricked how you plan to recover the data the recovery alone may not give you access to the rest of the system and with a custom rom you may have to wipe ( format) the data partition to get access to it ( to disable samsung encryption)
there is a newer odin 3.12.3 try that

All I know is that this is shown when I boot into recovery:
Android Recovery
MMB29K.G930FXXU1BPHJ
samsung/heroltexx/herolte
6.0.1/MMB29K/G930FXXU1BPHJ
user/release-keys
I don't know if that helps at all. In terms of recovering the data, the site I'm following instructions from says there is a Mount > USB Storage option in TWRP, which is why I am doing it.
Thanks

Hi mate
Yes , you have a G930F (Exynos) the TWRP image you were using seem right , regarding this , if you install TWRP in order to access the System /data where all the user apps , info, pictures , mail , configurations ..... is you need to format it , that partition is encrypted only Samsung can access it , TWRP does not support it unless you disable it by formatting it ( AKA erasing everything), mount the phone as USB device it may give access to some partition but it will not give you access to the System/ data ( unless you had formated it before)
If you knew what was the phone CSC you could flash a stock firmware without loosing anything, you use home_csc instead of CSC

Ok mate.......
based on what you showed me, this should be the firmware installed on your phone, only BTU , XEU and EE had a BPHJ firmware in UK
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/95186/G930FXXU1BPHJ_G930FEVR1BPH1_EVR/
is up to you ..... there should be safe almost 100% sure you should not lose any data.....but there is always a chance
Download firmware from the above link , extract ( un rar , use winrar 7zip) 5 files from the zip file , should be AP, BL, CP, CSC and home_csc , DO NOT USE CSC use all the other 4 files and flash them with Odin ( use the latest download link in the next link i will give you) with the same home_csc as is on your phone there should not be a factory reset .....all data is preserved........hopefully we have it

Alright, thank you very much for your active support. A few questions, obviously I cannot activate PIN in Secure Startup, will that affect anything? Also which slot do I put the HOME_CSC in? What exactly is the HOME_CSC?
Thanks again.
EDIT: Oh and also should I download the firmware from the thread to be safe and just replace the HOME_CSC? Or is the linked firmware 100% fine?

Anytime mate
Your father did not have any pin or password set up before? if that is so use this password default_password when asked for
home_csc goes in the CSC slot in Odin , Country Specific Code it has specific information and or configuration for special services offered by your carrier plus determines when you get an OTA , when you change CSC you have to factory reset if you keep the same CSC ( home_csc) is not mandatory

Download the firmware from sammobile ( first link) extract the 5 files as i told , then you you have two options
1 Extract files ( sammobile) , use the home_csc ( plus the other 4) from them and flash with odin
2 Extract files ( sammobile) save home_csc , go to the second link ( guide) download the firmware from there BUT use the home _csc file you saved ( extracted) from the firmware from sammobile , this is key to not lose any data

Hey.
So I downloaded the firmware from the site, flashed it using Odin, it flashed successfully, but I'm still getting the same issue. Won't boot up at all :/ is it more likely in this case to be hard bricked?

hey mate
Sorry to hear that , try something else , see if you can boot in safe mode
1. Power off the phone by holding down the power button for a few seconds.
2. Press and hold the power button until the Galaxy logo appears on screen.
3. Press and hold the volume down button and release the power button.
4. Hold volume down until the phone has fully booted.
5. You should see ‘Safe mode’ in the bottom left of the screen.
if that does not work my last oftion woul be a factory reset before of thinking on a hardware problem.....
New instructions dated Sept 15th 2018
No root needed.
Should work on all Snapdragon USA/Canada etc models (ATT , verizon, sprint, tmobile tc) S7 or S7edge (though the file is from S7edge India model). Leave a message in this thread if you encounter any issues.
Am not responsible for any damage you might do to your device.. am just trying to help.
Keep your Jio SIM in the phone all along.
1. Back up your data using Samsung smart switch or any other means (save whatsapp chats to google in settings)
2. Flash stock firmware (On unzipping stock FW, you'll get AP, CP,BL and CSC files. Use Odin to flash them) (Don't flash User data file if it's there in extracted files) - Download from Updato site for faster downloads
Use recommended patched Odin is located here
3. Download the Indian CSC file G935F_INSCSC
4. Ignore this step if you have adb working on your PC already.
Install "minimal ADB fastboot" program on PC, Copy the G935F_INSCSC.zip to your minimal ADB folder on computer (under program files on C drive).
Double click cmd-here.exe in that folder.
5. Boot the phone to recovery mode and choose Apply update via ADB sideload
6. Connect your phone to your computer with your USB cable.
7. On ADB window on PC type "adb devices" without quotes. Next line should show a device attached
If seen, type "adb sideload G935F_INSCSC.zip" without qoutes. It'll start transferring the file.. check mobile screen it'll install itself. (you might see some errors)
8. Reboot file and check, you should have Volte.
Possible errors:
1. Phone app/Msg app force closing
Try SMS app from google
Reflash AP BL CP only excluding CSC
Install CSC zip via adb again
2. Sprint OMADM app needs to be removed to avoid annoying notification or change notifications to low priority
To remove via ADB, turn on usb debugging
type in adb shell
you should see a dollar sign.
next type in pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.omadmspr
it should say success.
ADB sideloading is explained in this video in the last https://youtu.be/giD7nP4Oue4
Old instructions have been deleted....
Thank you Proper vlog on youtube for testing my method and reporting.

I see the device security been disabled and when i try to open it , it force closes . does this means Knox is disabled and thats why i am not able to add any cards in samsung pay ?
Can you please help? . I need to have samsung pay working ?
Is the CSC file you included only take care of Jio VoLTE or stuffs with all operators ? . I hear that Airtel is even testing VoLTE.

I've only tested till login. Tried to add card after reading your comment. I too had connection error. I've only changed CSC in that file. US guys didn't have any issues it seems.
I can't open some pages on spay too.. not sure if it's related to Samsung servers or our device. I'll check later.
If it were related to knox issue, it won't even let you login. (Like on a rooted device).
VoLTE is related to CSC and device model. So it should work with airtel too. Lets see.

Thanks for letting me know.
I will also try with a clean install of the system without removing any bloats and check.
You also try and keep posted. If you want me to try something on this , let me know.
BTW , do you have the latest csc files for india thats ODIN flash-able ?
Also will it be an issue because of the samsung pay framework. I hrd that it need Indian framework and India spay app for successful adding of our cards.
Do you have any idea as how to bring spay India framework to this rom ?
Thank you for the input man.
I just wonder if the CSC is CPU dependent? Since I want to modify it with a CSC for HongKong, I am not sure if it matters for Exynos / Snapdragon rom.
Or would you mind help me to modify the file with Hong Kong CSC for me? thank you very much!

CSC is not dependent on processor as long as it's flashed via twrp/flashfire as a zip. But odin flashing is different.
So, which is your device? if it's SM-G935F/FD/K/L/S/W8 then use https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-30-t3392957 TGY is in that zip.
If your's is a snapdragon, i'll help.

Hi, I just did as what was instructed.
After I have gone throught the Auroma screen, having checked No Wiping and Keep SU, ticked what to debloat,
it says finished and restarted.
1. When it was rebooting, it keep popping up com.sec.epdg has stopped, IMS Service stopped.
Is that normal or what else should I do?
2. I also noticed the modified file for India is over 500mbs, but the TGY file for Hong Kong is just 153mb.
Is everything alright about that?
3. When I try to Odin a stock G935U firmware wiping everything, it turns into Olympic Edition Theme, and I lost my IMEI , cannot detect a Sim. There is no way for me to get it working again
thank you again.

2.India file had S8 apps and Google play apps and your file did not.
3.Olympic theme could be a default for your CSC and please flash Your region CP file or U version CP file and see about that IMEI issue. if all fails, do a total clean flash of U firm with CSC and tick repartition in Odin. (not home csc)

I been using various versions of Odin and Various version of Firmware, including MM and Nougat, G935A / T/ U,
Also I tried to tick Re-Partition, Wipe NAND.
I also even tried the INDIA CSC file on the OP and the original NoNaMe Mod file.
Still, it says SIM Card Not Available, IMEI Unknown, Baseband Unknown, No Network. It used to work fine before trying the TGY CSC.

Smartswitch detected my phone but says G935A is not supported.
Finally, I approached a phonedealer in China online.
He fixed my phone remotely via Teamviewer, and he said the Certificate of Modem/Baseband was corrupted. Since the Baseband gone missing which cannot be fixed by ordinary Odin of Firmware.
I saw him used some kind of unofficial software (characters illegible to me) and got it fixed in 2 minutes, and was luckily costed me only 220RMB (around 30USD)
Well, a good lesson to learn from. There are really something not fixable by Odin and we could Eff our phone up even with the bootloader locked.
Again, it was just me requesting the OP to modify the file for me to satisfy my curiousity who happily did me a favour, there is nothing to blame with and I thank you again for all the help!
Cheers!

Sorry about that but the file will touch only CSC part. not basebands/modem. I've re-checked the zip too.

Serial number is nothing but product number of phone after flashing its changed to 123456789ABCDEF and also bootloader version is unknown because of this devices is uncertified and device will not detect by any websites and even in lenovo apps to check warranty hence requesting for fixing this issue.

this what worked for me after sleepless nights for just reading and searching the google. lot of website gives instructions, but non of them worked for me.
i am not good at giving instruction but i will just say what i did, and it's up to you if you will follow it. this is just to add idea for you that may work for you.
i apologize for not providing link. just google them and add "xda" as keyword to your search as much as possible.
downloading from sammobile gets error when using winzip or winrar to extract them. just use 7-zip. they are working i guarantee you.
the root of all these baseband unknown, no imei error is after i flashed to nougat first version.
what i did exactly that worked for me after hundred of trial and errors from the tip of all website and for my own experiment is,
1. i rooted my phone and flashed Nobleltetmo_N920TUVU3DPG1_Stock_Deodexed.zip to make my phone lollipop version.
2. then flashed as of today feb 2, 2019, i downloaded from sammobile N920TUVS6ERH1_N920TTMB6ERH1_TMB.zip downloaded from sammobile, when extracted this is the file N920TUVS6ERH1_N920TTMB6ERH1_N920TUVS6ERH1_HOME.tar.md5
i don't know but it worked. probably luck. anyway just try the latest version.
this is all i have tried that did not worked for me, i have deleted others to free space on my pc. just keep away from these list.

Bro this thread is not for Samsung,it is only for Lenovo k8 note Plus
It's very simple to recover serial number or key number
You simply any other phone copy data of Dev/Boot/emmc 28
And paste in your phone same place
Has anyone succeeded in enabling volte for this model. Especially in India it doesn't work with Reliance Jio simcard.
Can someone advice about this?

I imagine you need to change your phone CSC's. To do that you need a PC with Windows and an internet connection (you need Latest Odin3 and Samsung USB Drivers), your Galaxy A8 with its USB-C to USB cable, latest official firmware for your model and csc and the Factory Firmware tar for your phone and with correct bootloader rev (to know what's your current bl rev download "Phone Info ☆Samsung☆" app from Play Store and check your Bootloader version inside it, the bootloader rev is after the phone model number and fw country/type; ex. A530FXXU3):
- A530F Rev 1
- A530F Rev 2
- A530F Rev 3
- A730F Rev 1
- A730F Rev 2
- A730F Rev 3
If you downloaded and installed all the needed, do a backup of all your data and files, then follow those steps:
1. Boot your phone in Download mode
2. Open Odin3 as Administator, go in "Options" tab and enable Auto Reboot and Re-Partition, then click on the AP button and select the COMBINATION tar file you downloaded previously
3. Connect your phone to your pc and click the Start button in Odin3, flash should start
4. You phone now should boot in Factory Firmware. Select IMEI option at the bottom of the screen to bring up the dial pad, then dial *#243203855#
5. Select your new CSC code (in your case INS) and wait for it to install and reboot
6. Wait for phone to reboot and do a Factory Reset in Settings app
7. Reboot to Download mode again and setup Odin3 like before
8. You now need to flash your official firmware, so put all the tars from the firmware you downloaded on their section (AP inside AP, BL inside BL, CP inside CP and CSC inside CSC)
9. Connect back your phone in your pc and click Start in Odin3
Your phone should now be back to the Stock Firmware and with the correct CSC set, to check it go inside Settings>About phone>Software info>Service provider SW ver. and check if the first CSC sales code matches the one you choosen previously.

Thanks for your detailed reply. Unfortunately there is no official INS firmware available for this model as it's not been launched in India. I tried flashing it with other countries firmware but it didn't work. Is there any other way?

You can try to flash A530F AP, BL, CP tars with A730F INS CSC tar. If it doesn't works you unfortunately need to root your device to install the correct csc in system (the guide I explained before is for non-rooted devices)

Wasn't successful. So doing rigorous R&D.
Has anyone succeeded by rooting the device? @BlackMesa123 can you suggest on this?

It's like one month we are behind it actually lol, but since recently you can finally root safely your device with flashing my TWRP 3.2.3+Magisk v17.1. Would suggest to flash my custom kernel also (MCK), but I wanna suggest to wait till' next version comes out since there will be a lot of under-the-hood improvements over the current version (v1.2)
Updates
Hi,
Any luck regarding this?

As I said previously, you need to set the correct CSC sales code in your device in order to get the features you need for your country/SIM. To do that you can follow the guide I wrote above or, if you're rooted, you just can edit the "/efs/imei/mps_code.dat" file and replace the current CSC with the one you prefer.
Just to say I on honk Kong but I modified a USA s8 csc and I have had voltie working.

OK, so carrier locked a8 2018 model?
I bought a8 2018 from indonesia unlocked but VOLTE is not working in India. Any suggestions on how to get VOLTE working?
Let's Get Started by saying: I'm not resoponsible for brick, loss or any damage to your phone. So backup!
Pre Requirements:
a. A Windows PC with internet connection.
b. Odin Patched Here
c. HOME CSC file of Indian / Thailand / Vietnam Region. You can get firmware of your phone from samfw.com or any other website.
Make sure that the bootloader version on your phone and the one you download are same. For example, A515FXXU4CTJ1 has bootloader version 4 (that's fifth digit from the right). So you have to download a firmware which has same bootloader version.
P.S. We don't need full firmware, Only the file name beginning by "HOME_CSC" is needed.
Working:
1. Eject the SIM Card(s)
2. Go to Settings -> Apps -> Calendar -> Storage -> Clear Data.
3. Put your phone into download mode.
4. Run the Odin....exe (downloaded in step b) as administrator
5. Click CSC and select the HOME_CSC file obtained from step c in Pre-Req.
6. Click "Start".
7. When phone reboots, Repeat step 2.
All done. You can insert SIM Card(s) and use Call Recording.
Notes:
You'll be ondifferent region's CSC after this.
Phone will not factory reset and you won't lose any data after this.
You might not be able to get system updates after this. In order to get them you'd have to flash your region's CSC, then update, then flash custom CSC again.
Tested working on:
Samsung A51 (Android 10)
Samsung A50 (Android 10)
Samsung M21 (Android 11)
You tell

Hi I tried your message but I got an error on my phone along the lines of : secure check fail cache (1). I tried with the odin version you linked and I was thinking about trying a version v3.14 patched that I found here on XDA. Any ideas?
My phone is fine it does seem to restart to a thing with the cyan download background saying "An error has occured..." but I can restart and then hit volume key saying 'reset phone' which just boots the phone normally.

This happens when you use a non Patched odin. Make sure you're using the one from link in OP. BTW, which phone is it?

It's G991U1, with 1ATLI so I downloaded 1AUB8 (THL) to try to flash the HOME_CSC, I'm 100% sure I tried with the odin you linked (also your one has same CRC SHA-1 as the the one linked in the XDA thread). Maybe I need to try with the updated patcheD odin (v3.14.1_3B) I didn't do that yet.

I believe everything's right then. Can't identify the issue though.
I guess, trying updated version might help.
Good luck!
If problem persists after trying updated version. Please share screen when phone is in download mode.
I had kept this thread in my bookmarks since I was buying the A52 4G on Amazon.ca and absolutely wanted Call Recordings (officially we shouldn't be able to get the A52 4G in Canada, only the 5G version is officially here, so it's an import).
But as luck would have it, it's the SM-A525M and already has Call Recording enabled in it. So that saves me some trouble. But thanks for this guide! I may not have needed it in the end, but would've totally relied on it otherwise.
If I'm understanding this right, my firmware is A525MUBS1AUD1. Brazil's ? It's Android so it has every languages built-in regardless and there's no carrier specific apps in it either, so that's great.
tried on A52 4G all flashed fine
but the csc did not changed and no call recorder

Well, That's unlucky then; it's unavailable on certain devices.
