The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, while no longer the latest model, remains a popular device among enthusiasts. This guide provides updated information on how to unbrick, upgrade, or repair software issues on the SM-G935F and SM-G935T models using official firmware.

Why Use Official Firmware?

Official firmware can resolve various software-related issues:

  • Unbricking a device
  • Fixing app crashes and system lag
  • Resolving boot loops or devices stuck on the boot logo
  • Removing custom recovery (e.g., TWRP) and root access
  • Updating to the latest available Android version and security patch
  • Addressing other software-related problems

Important: Check Your Model Number

Before proceeding, verify your exact device model. Using incorrect firmware can potentially brick your device.
