Chosen Solution

Hi there, if anyone can help I’ll be really appreciative. I used data recovery software (Dr. Fone - do not use) and it soft bricked my Galaxy S7. It was stuck on the flashing Samsung screen. I did a factory reset via Recovery Mode (Vol UP, Home, and Power buttons) and it worked. Everything seemed fine. However, after shutting down my phone and restarting it, it went back to the soft bricked version. I’m stumped. Sure I could factory reset it again but a phone that cannot be shut down or restarted is almost useless since I’ll lose everything every time it runs out of batteries or updates. Any help appreciated!

Yikes. Well, since you appear to be able to get into download mode, follow this thread to download original stock rom (If you listed 930v, this is the Verizon version. If not don’t use this). https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon
