S7 G930P stuck in bootloop after rooting

[Hopper Kremer]

Looks like it is failing at Set Up Connection.
Are you using the stock OEM USB cable that came with the phone?
Try a different cable and USB port.

Do you need to restart Odin every time?

Do you need to restart Odin every time?

Yes, I would even do a restart on your PC.

 

[Jfalls63]

You might even try uninstalling Smart Switch but keep the USB drivers and reboot. Kies used to interfere with Odin. Haven't heard of Smart Switch causing a problem,but worth a try.

 

[Hopper Kremer]

Found one newer

And to be clear, I'm using THESE in Odin.

Correct. It's the latest released version I could find.

I'm uninstalling SS and Kies, rebooting, and then flashing the same stuff with Odin using OEM cable. Thanks again!

Hope it works. Not much else I know to try.

Let it run till fail or success. Could take up to 30 min or more. I usually go make a sandwich or coffee.

Top left tile says "Set partition"

Haven't seen that before. Can you post a screenshot?

I think it stopped...

 

[Jfalls63]

I think it is working, let it run. That window tells you what Odin is doing as well as the log below

I sure as hell hope you're right. I've got to go to bed.

Me too.
Hopefully it will be successful and you wake up to a fresh stock OS. I'll check back in morning.

Fingers-crossed this works out. I'm wondering if this is a USB issue, you don't have your phone plugged into a USB hub to you? Better to plug it directly into a USB port when doing something like this.
In any case, a ROM download is a 1GB+ file and it's being decompressed as it's being installed into your phone's internal storage so it's not a quick process.

 

[James L]

Why are you using the modified Odin?....

That could be the issue. Or it's one of these, you're using a USB hub, USB 3.0 port or USB 3.0 cable. If you're using a desktop use the ports in the back. Last but not least any cable can cause issues, try one from a older phone or from a friend.

Use regular Odin 3.12.7 or whatever and you'll be fine.

 

[Hopper Kremer]

Thanks for all the replies! I just woke up to that "set partition" in the top left tile of Odin and after unplugging the phone it failed. When I get home later I'll try Odin 3.12.7 & another cable if I can. Is there any way I can get the screen to turn off so it will charge better? Anyway, here's the Odin output:

<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/003> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/003> emmc_appsboot.mbn
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
<ID:0/003> Removed!!

How should I format output/code on here?

Just to be clear, besides bootloop approximately every 5 seconds, this is all the phone does:

Link to Odin version 3.12.3 can be found here in instructions for flashing.
http://updato.com/how-to/how-to-install-an-official-samsung-stock-firmware-using-odin

I think you can press and hold the power button till the screen turns off then press and hold the power button and the volume up to get into recovery. There should be a option to turn off in the recovery menu.

I have gotten the screen to turn off using that method, but it just stays on when plugged.

 

[Jfalls63]

Are you using PC to charge or wall charger? If PC, try wall charger

 

[Hopper Kremer]

I'm using a wall charger, I just wish I could turn the screen off. I'm worried it isn't charging enough.

 

[Hopper Kremer]

What about flashing 6.0.1 firmware? I got the phone with Marshmallow on it and after updating to Nougat and screwing things up, I did a factory reset.

The phone then booted to setup, but the IMS popup was still there. So could the factory reset have downgraded back to Marshmallow?

 

[svim]

A Factory Reset has no effect on the operating system, it only wipes the user data partition clean. It does nothing to any of the system partitions. A rooted phone will still be rooted after a Factory Reset, a non rooted phone will be remain non rooted, a phone running Nougat will still be running Nougat, and so on. Flashing the ROM is the only way to switch versions of Android.
