Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: boot loop issue and not showing up in odin

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 21:19:23 -0700

Got this S7 Edge from a discard pile at work. trying to fix it. It doesn't seem to hold a charge, but I can't tell. It powers on when plugged into the computer, and after a while, it attempts to enter recovery mode. When installing the android update blue screen after two seconds it immediately shuts down and goes back to the charging screen. When plugged into odin, it does not show in at all.

Im going to try a new battery. I feel like that could be the issue since it does not like powering on after being unplugged. but will update this thread

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: Galaxy S7 Edge buttons light up but don’t work

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 13:35:12 -0700

On my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, the “Back” and “Recent Apps” buttons light up but don’t respond to touch. What could cause this, and what should I try to fix it? Software reset, safe mode, or is it likely a hardware issue?

Any solutions would be appreciated. Thanks!

'''I am not used to phones with sim card trays so I very stupidly put the entire sim card in the slot without the tray.

Is there a way to take it out without disassembling, and if it not how much disassembling will be needed?'''

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: My Samsung S7 Edge suddenly turns off and I cannot turn it on.

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 05:00:19 -0700

Hi,

My Samsung S7 Edge suddenly stop working and shut down when I was deleting some video files- because memory was full. I have tried some procedures using keys like fast reboot, safe mode, etc., but it didnot turn on. When I plug it in, the indicator is off and nothing happens. I cannot use the Dr.Fone Repair Utility because the mobile cannot neither goes to download mode or usb enable mode, nor finding by pc. I have been using the mobile phone for more than three years without any problems. I think one of these three problems may happend: Hard, Battery or Power Circuit.

Any solution would be appriciated.

Thanks.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: Flickering screen after a drop...

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 08:00:04 -0700

I've got a friend who dropped her S7 edge. The glass hasn't broken, but the screen flickers/flashes, to the point where it's hard to look at and almost impossible to use. Given the cost of new LCD units, replacing that isn't looking a likely option. I've taken the back off and disconnected everything in the (admittedly very slim) hope that it could have been a slight loose connection from the drop. When I connected everything back up and turned it on it was still flickering to start with, but after a while it returned to normal. This lasted about 20mins before the flickering started again.

I'm guessing the display was damaged when she dropped it and it's not repairable, but thought I'd ask here if anyone has any ideas what might be wrong, and if it can be fixed, before she goes shopping for a new phone??

Thank you in advance.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: Samsung S7 Edge FRP Locked&SW REV. check fail Device:4, Binary:3

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 23:16:41 -0700

Hey guys, I recently tried to root my phone, went kinda wrong --> my phone got stuck in boot loop. I had to root it correctly to make it work again. Now, I wanted to buy something online but I couldn't bcs that came with the root or something? I got the notification to switch on OEM and something else with USB so, I did, without knowing to turn it off again. After a few weeks, visited another country but didn't got signal and stuff so I thought it would help if I'd put my phone off and back on. Y'all be facepalming right now, for sure. And yeah, I shouldn't have tried to root it in the first place because I had almost no knowledge about any of this so please spare me. Well, as you all know probably, I got the message that my FRP is locked so I tried to unlock it, using forums like these ones and others. They all said the same things but somehow they don't work with me. I downloaded a few Odin version because they all got stuck in SetupConnection or failed. I have downloaded the stock firmware and did everything I should (I think).

I downloaded this firmware:

[URL="https://updato.com/firmware-archive-sele...[/URL]

Like I said, I downloaded a few Odin version because I read somewhere that if your device has Android 8.0.0 or higher, your Odin had to be Odin3_v3.13 or higher. So I did, I downloaded 2 higher versions (Odin3_v3.13.1 and Odin3_v3.13.3) but also Odin3_v3.12.3. I tried my firmware on all of them but it keeps saying "FAIL", I know that's because it's not the right firmware but idk which other it could be then...

Also, does that new message I've got have impact on certain things? "SW REV. CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 4, BINARY: 3

I've spend hours and hours searching for a solution but there's always something in my way. And yes, I downloaded the Samsung USB driver and stuff, I tried the Samsung Switch method but the app doesn't 'support this device'. I've seen guys with the same problem getting send from one link to another to download things, I'm willing to delete all I've already downloaded before if it just works... I feel like apologizing for doing stuff I didn't know much about. Please let me know if I explained something poorly, my head is just everywhere it shouldn't be right now. Thanks in advance.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: My S7E has been water damaged, the power button doesn't work properly.

Mon, 09 Jun 2025 17:23:01 -0700

Just for reference, the phone is running a custom ROM, Pixel Experience Plus Hero 2 Lte.

So the back glass has some holes in it after i dropped it, and water got into the internal components of the phone when my bottle leaked in my bag.

I have tried to dry off the phone as much as possible by first taking everything i could easily remove off (backglass, thoses black panels on top of the mobo, the mobo itself, and the battery) and using a hair dryer and leaving it open overnight to dry out by itself.

After this, the phone works pretty normally except the power button will open up the power menu on a short press, and the screen times out by itself randomly, even while I am actively using it.

It also feels slower than normal but maybe not.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: any way to diagnose a dead motherboard?

Sun, 12 Jan 2025 21:01:34 -0700

just received a phone lot that included a korean Galaxy S7 Edge model (aka the SM-G935L). it doesn't indicate any signs of live at all.
upon further google searching, i've discovered an xda forum post that mentioned almost the same problem, saying that the power IC might be faulty. but even a faulty chip must produce some heat, while my mobo has no heat on its chips at all.

any ideas on what chip is broken? should i replace the whole mobo (which i don't wanna do, since finding the exact model here is a bit hard) or is it possible to replace the faulty chip (if there is one)?
