Hey guys,
Today I purchased a Note 3 since I could no longer root my Note 2. I ran the SO-SIMPLE Towelroot, and after that my phone would no longer connect to 4g. I checked all the toggles to make sure I hadn't flipped something, and I've factory reset it 3 times now. My final attempt was to just root it without SuperSU being installed. SuperSU wasn't updating the binaries. It disabled KNOX, but wouldn't do anything beyond that.
I'm hoping someone has encountered this issue and can point me in the right direction because I've been poking around the internet and I have come up blank. I really want to freeze out this damn bloatware. It seems like every time they put more memory in the phones, it's their cue to add TONNES more bloatware. Some of this Samsung crap is just so unnecessary.
I appreciate any help guys.
Install safestrap and flash this file to update binaries manually.

Hey guys,
I could use your expertise and help.
After updating my stock Note 4 Att variant from 5.1.1. to 6.0.1, I came back to my phone powered off. After turning it back on it freezes at the Att logo screen. Trying to boot into safe mode was a no go so I tried booting into recovery. Everything looked go for a second, I was greeted with an installing updates animation but that quickly was shut down and I got the "dm-verity verification failed..." error.
I tried wiping the cache and doing a factory reset. Talking with att technical support was no help at all. They basically told me if wiping the cache and factory reset didn't work I would have to get the phone replaced and pay a $150 deductible. I'm not paying them another dime when their update bricked my phone
So I'm here heart in hand hoping you guys could help me out. I did root my note 2 back in the day but forgot most of what it entails and was pretty bummed when I found out there was no root for the note 4. So I'm not a total noob but bear with me.
I did try Kies 3 but my phone wont connect. I tried off, on and in recovery still nothing.
Searching online it seems like most of the solutions require root access which this phone doesn't have. It also looks like it needs the stock firmware but most of the links I found here and elsewhere are dead, and sammobile doesn't have them either.
So what should I do? Am I out of options? Should I junk it cause Att sucks? Any sort of direction would be a big help! :highfive:

Make sure samsung kies or samsung usb drivers are installed on your pc.
Download stock marshmallow firmware and flash through odin .this method does not require root.
After flashing dont let the phone boot just go to recovery and wipe cache+wipe data factory reset then reboot.
Wait 10 to 15 minutes.
Stock rom link.

Extract file and choose AP tab in odin.
Upload firmware file then connct device via usb cable to pc.
Hit start in odin.
You're the man! Not only did you save my phone, you stuck it to Att's money grubbing hands in one fell swoop. People will write songs about you, you'll go down in the history books as the man, the myth, the legend! People will swoon in your presence!
In all seriousness though you're awesome! Thank you!
One last question, will I be able to use the ota updates from here? Not that I would be too comfortable using them after this debacle, just wondering if they should work.

Thanks for the compliment. you just made me feel like i am a Hercules :victory:
If you want my advice dont ever take ota updates.
Just go to www.sammobiles.com/firmwares and grab latest rom for your model and flash in odin as you did.
Latest rom comes with the same security patch update the 1 comes in ota.
I personally do this way all the time.
Hope that helps and have a good day.
I found my old Note 3 in a closet and decided I would gift it to my 12 year old as a faux-tablet. I powered the Note 3 up and got to the Verizon flash screen where is just locked-up. I then attempted to go through recovery and factory reset (keep in mind that I am using the stock recovery). I rebooted and still stuck on the verizon flash screen. So what is the trick to get past the boot screen? Personally, I would like to blow away all things Verizon and change to another ROM, but I need to get past this issue. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
From where i can see it, u can just flash it with stock Rom or another as u like, cz the other option is what u have tried already.
flash firmware with odin
so heres the situation, a couple weeks ago my sammy a5 meet a horrible end and ive been without a phone. My buddy gave me his old s7 edge, its got cracked screen and has been sitting inn a drawer(hes rocking a pixel xl instead). so got it home charged it up turn it on and it got this blue sceen says there was a problem updating.
so longer story short got the stock 6.0.1 for bell 935w8 but i only run ubuntu, now while im able to flash smaller tars or img files flashing all stock at once wont work with either heimdall or Jodin3.
thought i could maybe flash twrp and go straight into custom roms i cant flash anything onto the device because of FAP lock in download mode.
Can anyone help me out? i know this would be easier with a windows comp but i dont have one.
can anyone help me
Hi guys,
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G950F
I was given this phone by a friend of mine who attempted to install factory binary or something or rather.
He can not recall exactly what he attempted to do, however.... This is the condition it is in now..
I have no clue where to even begin with it.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Drew.
Blind bet is that freund is finished with this phone if doesn't go to download mode.
Your are need to download official firmware from Sammobile and flash it through odin .
First thing is to see if odin detects it in download mode.
Ive managed to get an almost bricked s8 at least alive and kicking a few days ago by reflashing *only* the AP file (stock 8.0 XSA from Sammobile) which at the very least got me around the locked bootloader issue. Its just killed the IMEI in it.
In a couple of days ill get another shot at restoring it to full funtionality but ive already replaced it anyway so its most likely only going to be used for DeX now.
Ive had no responses to my post so meh.
Which exact one did you use Funkymonkey..?
Thanks in advance.
