So I followed a youtube video on how to do this. And I get to the point of using odin and installing twrp but I get a fail every single time. I tried using a different usb port but it hasn't worked. I have the latest version of odin, twrp, samsung drivers, and magisk. My phones model number is SM-G935V it's the verizon version. I'm trying to install Android 10 via Lineage 17.

You can't install custom roms on snapdragon variants as bootloader is locked. Pls read thoroughly before messing your phones ..

If your phone boots, then flash stock rom with matching bootloader version using odin. Cache, hidden, and data won't work when restored on your phone. Specially efs and hidden, if you tried to mess with them, it will end up real badly.

I understand you and I know the consequence. This phone is already damaged because it freezes on its own and it is a problem to enter it. I told you another efs and it got hung up on it but I managed to get it back so I no longer care if this device is damaged for testing. Model s7edge g935w8

So if you help me with a copy of the system, I appreciate it, since the problem comes from the root / data / misc / nadr.

You are not understanding at all. You didn't had to mess with /efs or hidden due to issue in /data ...

Just a reflash with stock rom would have solved that.. but since you messed efs, things won't work for you now the same way..

Maybe try reflashing stock rom in odin. And see what issues you get after that. You just ignore the help given and try to do things in your own wrong way..

OK thanks friend. I already installed the stock ROM and it remains the same. I'll ditch that board and buy a new one.

What is your binary version ? (Bootloader number)

Bit 8 I would have liked to try a combination, but neither is there. Model: SM-G935w8

Yeah, thought of combination rom too but since you are on 8 binary its not possible.

Can you tell more about your error detail ?

Also there is nothing like nadr. in /data/misc for me ..

So yeah, probably you have a defected board and specially /data shouldn't cause any problems after clean flashing through odin.. you sure flashed clean through odin ? (Using csc file NOT home_csc)

Also, this is not the right thread for this. So, try to create your own help thread under S7 question and answer sub-forum :

The problem is that the device freezes by itself and if I leave it it never restarts, it better heat up so badly that you think it's going to explode. And to return to how it was to be restarting every 3 minutes. And the problem of all this is this error that appears in the recovery:​

failed to clear bcb message failed to find /misc partition


I already did everything bro!

Ah, should have told like this in your first post. I think this error is due to messed up read only partitions due to any reason. I don't know how it can be solved exactly, since my efs/nvdata won't work on your phone and may even hard brick it.

Since your phone is bootable, I would suggest to NOT use samsung stock rom due to this error. Use latest twrp/shrp and try lineage/aosp based roms in roms section. Also be sure to see if that rom supports G935W8..

And ofcourse, make sure OEM unlocked is turned ON. Good luck

 

[johnmaster]

Ah, debería haberlo dicho así en tu primera publicación. Creo que este error se debe a particiones de solo lectura desordenadas debido a cualquier motivo. No sé cómo se puede resolver exactamente, ya que mi efs / nvdata no funcionará en su teléfono e incluso puede bloquearlo.

Dado que su teléfono es de arranque, le sugiero que NO use la rom estándar de Samsung debido a este error. Utilice la última versión de twrp / shrp y pruebe las roms basadas en lineage / aosp en la sección de roms. También asegúrese de ver si esa rom es compatible con G935W8 ..

Y, por supuesto, asegúrese de que OEM desbloqueado esté ENCENDIDO. Buena suerte

lo siento hermano, pero estaba confundido. Ya encontré la solución, es la siguiente, busque un martillo y golpéelo, luego compre otro teléfono en eBay. sabes es la mejor solución que encontré. gracias por la respuesta como nadie lo hace.

Всем привет! Ребята скажите может кто знает. На SM-G935UUESBSTA3 ЕСТЬ уже root_прова?

Translated by GT: Hello everyone! Guys tell me who knows. Is there already root_prov on SM-G935UUESBSTA3?

 

[G4t0r5auru5]

Thank you so much for this guide. No one out there has simplified this process like you have.

 

[hellophonebjb]

Hi, I wanted to root S7 Edge SM-935F TMS . I downloaded every needed file, Odin was communicating with phone, so I started flashing TWRP (oem unlocking was checked and usb deb. too). After while Odin failed the flashing of twrp and the phone was getting emergency screen. I was reading that I need to flash recovery so instead of that I wanted to flash original stock rom (I didnt updated rom to latest so I didnt want to have just recovery from latest version and whole other things from older one (few updated before latest but I dont know exact number). I choosed all (BL, AP, CP, CSC) and I started to flash, somehow odin failed this time too and after this I am unable to charge/turn on the phone (not gonna get anything from it). I checked the power of charging while phone is connected and its taking 1,2W from charger. Why odin killed the phone when I used stock fw ? Is the phone really dead or there is a way to fix it ? Thanks
