Samsung S7 Edge (SM-G935F) Bootloop issue after Nougat Update - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Team,
I purchased Samsung S7-Edge (unlocked) in USA and started using in India. I received Nougat update when i started using in India. It was running on Nougat until recently mobile started restarting continuously. So, i downloaded Firmware (Android 6.0 ) of UK region and tried to flash it using Odin. Mobile started working properly. Later upon connecting to Wi-Fi (connected in India), i received a message to update to Android 7.0. After the update mobile started restarting displaying Samsung Logo. So, i tried cleared the Cache; then it shows updating apps (7 out of 23) and keeps on restarting again.
Can anyone please help me to resolve this issue ?
I am not sure if i have picked right Firmware version as i purchased it in USA and using it in India. I have Serial Number & IMEI number with me. I remember the Firmware version at the time of Purchase was UAE, but not sure if it is from LYS OR XSG.

Try with German DBT latest or look firmware 4 files for your device .

Thank you so much Teddy. I flashed with DBT version and it worked !!!!. Initial startup took too much time. So, i thought it didn't work. So, i have flashed with other countries firmware as well. But, in the end before giving up i again installed DBT and left the mobile untouched for entire night. Thank God!, it started working..
Thanks a Ton!!!!

Hi All,
As Teddy suggested i have downloaded DBT firmware for my SM-G935F and flashed it. It started working fine. But, after oreo update, it again goes into Bootloop. I will remind that the mobile is purchased in USA but im not aware of the Firmware's location. Please help me in understanding if i connect to Wi-Fi, updates are downloaded which are release for Firmware's Country ??
I observed a strange behaviour. When i have updated Google app by opening Play store, mobile suddenly switched Off and went into Boot Loop.
Please help me with the Firmware Selection and if there are any best and permanent solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Sri

Fingerprint missing

Hello comunity ! I bought 2 days ago a Xperia Z5 Compact E5823 model (i live in Romania - Eastern Europe) and when i boot it up i skip everything and update straight to android 6.0.1 .....after factory reset again i see no fingerprint option and have never seen it even in launch configuration startup althow i skipped everything. Now i am reinstalling xperia firmware via companion (recovery mode) to see if the option will be there or not i am so SO dissapointed about this fact .....is it possible that this is a model without the sensor ?

Unfortunately not .....i don't have the option on security (fingerprint missing) ..... i reinstalled 6.0.1 but nothing . Now i am doing 5.1.1 with flashtools to see the result maybe there is still hope ....i see that this is the Z5C E5832 Rev 1.0 so it should have the fingerprint right ? :S or at least if it's not working show it in settings .

hey there.. i`m from romania too.. take a look over here http://www.androidauthority.com/no-fingerprint-sensor-for-us-xperia-z5-z5-compact-667816/ , on short .. if you have an US model you don`t have a fingerprint sensor.. where did you buy it from? your z5c ?
P.S. Tryed 2 versions of android 5.1.1 oficial but none have worked. I see the fingerprint setting now in the security part but after i imput a pin it's going back to security menu like this feature should not be in this phone .... if i test it with *#*#737...... o fingerprint sensor it will exit the test right away .
Anybody fixed this problem or should i call warranty ?
Can't you flash firmware from different region via Flash tool?

Hi , if you have removed FRP lock , dial *#06# to see if your IMEI is showing up if not , then you broke partitions on which is stored IMEI and all information for phone .
What you can try is to flash latest 4 file repair firmware for your region with pit file using ODIN ...
Find on the internet those files : )

Don't use Lolipop at all because you will probably broke bootloader , because Samsung has prevented Downgrade from Android 7 or 6 to android 5 because of secure bootloader .
Send me what was original firmware before downloading which region and that ? : )

Flashed stock firmware - Google Pay not working

Hi Everyone,
Apologies in advance, i'm a noob at all this but please read my post. I just need some help
Recently i've attempted to install a custom ROM on my Galaxy S8 ( SM-G950F ) and in the 1st attempt, managed to somehow get the phone into a boot loop. I went on to flash the original firmware via ODIN, which was successful and the phone was back to original, but now i have an issue when trying to use Google Pay, or Netflix. It keeps saying the phone has been modified and not allowing me. Is there a way around this at all? I don't understand why it's now not working since it's back to stock firmware. If anyone can help me out that would be greatly appreciated. I'm willing to provide some $$ if needed.
Thanks all in advance.

What do you mean 7 or 8 number from imei? The latest software is used mate that is correct.
7 and 8 number from imei is know as Country code , so look for Firmware for Country code you can also look for 4 file firmware for your device which you can search on the internet or try with DBT version is Germany but mostly German firmware can fix some issue . Good Luck
Hello, I have the same issue. I Just flash latest ROM for my Samsung Galaxy s9 plus from sammobile website. It was DBT version (UK, Germany region) with patched Odin. Can you help me how to get google pay working? It keeps saying the same that device has been rooted or modified.

Galaxy s21 not receiving updates

I have a Galaxy s21 olympic edition with number SM-G991Q and i am not receiving montly updates. The last update was the August 2021 patch and was installed on August 30th.
Also smart switch on Windows is not detecting Any new updates.
I tried to reset the device without luck getting new updates.
Does anybody has the same problems with the Galaxy s21 SM-G991Q not receiving updates?
I have this phone too, I also only got the August security update.
Don't worry, they probably lost their update schedule before switching to Android 12. I got updates yesterday for SM-G9910.
I have the same phone and find it odd that it doesn't show up on sammobile or anywhere else.
Does anyone know where to find original firmwares for it?
I have too G991Q and I need flash to XAA because I need BAND 20 LTE my country help me pls or altwrnative stock ROM?

Well on november 8th i finally got the october 2021 update. Hopefully the android 12 update will follow zoon
I have a question about the G991Q, did any of you get the ESIM to work yet? It is currently software locked - in theory it should have it because it is a Snapdragon chip
Do you have Android 12 on G991Q already? Im checking every day but still no luck Should I install non olympic rom? Will that work? Thanks
@Corbik
This particular variant has yet to receive the stable One UI 4/Android 12 update.
@jussy
See here; the model number of this variant is SM-G991Q and the CSC is SJP. At the time of posting this, the latest available firmware version is G991QOPU1AUJ2.
my version is g9910 and still no update to android 12.
last version a11 octuber security update....
whats happend....
What standard version would be closest to G991Q? I tried to flash U1 ROM but no luck
Friends i'm also with the SM-G991Q olympic version.. I really need to switch to CSC from ZTO, to try to use VOLTE and WIFI CALLING from my operator in my country, Brazil!
Can someone please help me change CSC to ZTO ? I tried the tutorial above, but it doesn't open anything when typing the codes, were you able to change? I saw that it only works on android 10. but we are on android 11.
I saw that you have the option to change CSC ANDROID 11 via Samkey, but I believe it still doesn't have support for our SM-G991Q device.

Have you tried switching to another S21 variant's ROM with Snapdragon 888? it worked out ?
If it doesn't work, I think I found our ROM to perform restoration via ODIN, in brink event:

Yes I tried the U1 version since it should be US version with Snapdragon888.
That ROM you found, based on the numbers is exactly what is in my phone now.
I think I will just wait some more time to get official Android 12 update, hopefully our special version wont be forgotten
But If somebody know which ROM would also work for SM-G991Q and ideally would also support all languages and features (esim for example) please share
