Hong Kong 16GB Note 3 SM-N9005 softbrick - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Got a Hong Kong 16GB Note 3 SM-N9005 which someone has attempted to flash with N9005XXUBMJ3_N9005OXABMJ3_N9005XXUBMJ2_HOME.tar.md5 in ODIN which obviously failed because of different region, now it's stuck in download mode. Trying to flash back to the only stock ZHU Hong Kong firmware available N9005ZHUBMI7_N9005ZZHBMI7_N9005XXUBMI5_HOME.tar fails in ODIN, Kies firmware recovery fails as well.
any suggestions?

One final try would be to use Odin and flash the Kernel and CSC files for your stock firmware if this fails then you probably need to take it Samsung Repair Center.

now its ok with the keis, but when its start to upgrad with the keis' its fail..
i try what you say now

If I'm not mistaken, attempting to flash MJ3 has upgraded the bootloader thefore the MI7 firmware will not flash because it has old bootloader? (aboot.mbn(?)
but there is currently no Hong Kong firmware higher than MI7, therefore its ****ed (Kies emergency recovery tries to flash MI7.
No other region firmware flashing.
No firmware downgrading.
What a joke Samsung.

You have a brick until the stock firmware is updated with the new bootloader.

It 'happened to me, I resolved as I told you.

You have 3 options:
1) Take to Samsung Repaire Center - They will charge you (in the UK its £29.99 for software faults)
2) Wait until HK Firmware gets upgraded to MJ3 (as Samsung doesnt allow downupgrade of Bootloaders)
3) Flash CWM or TWRP and install a custom rom (this will volid warranty)

I did try flash HK TGY firmware back in many ways, but still not working. I think I will wait for TGY firmware to be upgraded. It will take forever.

Did you solved it?
If you have a nandroid backup just restore.
Before you try flash other stock firmware by Odin, perform a full wipe (Data/Cache and Dalvik).
Maybe it can solve your bad flash.
Edit : Did you check MD5 of your firmware?
? from my GT-I9300 NeatROM™ Slim AOSP V.2.8 ?

Man, i don't think that a nandroid backup can solve a binary error.. and yes, i checked the firmware md5, it's ok, it is from sammobile.com
I'd say if you've got aboot fail then your trying to flash older rom on a phone that's had newer rom on it aka Knox already.

Hi
I like to share how I fixed my S4 using ODIN 3.09
1. I flash the ''i9505 pit'' file on odin in pda (JUST THIS ONE FILE)
2. I used CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar
3. I tried to use Firmware with 4.3 because the phone had updated android to 4.3 v. but in the ODIN program appeared FAIL!
4. So I decided to install an older Firmware (with 4.2.2 v.) and it helped
Thank you for all the advice and good work XDA TEAM!!!

Hi there,
Just out of interest, How did you manage to flash 4.2.2 firmware via Odin to a phone that had had the 4.3 firmware installed via an update??
I (and many others) are aware that 4.3/4 firmware has the KNOX enabled boot-loaders making it impossible to downgrade stock firmware
Or have I completely misunderstood your resolution/fix?

But I never wrote that I had installed version 4.3 / 4. This is the version which is installed this time: I9505XXUFNB9_I9505O2UFNA2_I9505XXUFNB9_HOME.tar after this I flash CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar and now it is rooted and it is KNOX (but not for long)
Maybe I made a mistake. If so, sorry
...
I MADE MISTAKE!!! I am so sorry for that!!!
I9505XXUFNB9_I9505O2UFNA2_I9505XXUFNB9_HOME.tar it is newest version it's 4.4.2!!! I am sorry again.

Remove kies. Reinstall samsung drivers.
Find and flash TWRP 3.0.0 with odin ( on recovery is not SEAndroid enforcing hold volume up and home for 5-10 seconds. Also flash the Custom Kernel by eyeless95 on the forum, its sepermissive.

What about for SM-G530H?
Do u have the link for the kernel?
After installing kernel what should I do then?
Two ways. Find stock rom in Sammobile and install via Odin (newest). Or try once again install it via Kies. You sould can restore it with Kies, but dont plug phone to computer. Write down S/N or something like that (it's under battery) and model, and Kies will download system

There are kernels and recoverys in the development section that work fine for your phone .

my S7 edge bricked?

Can someone help me with my issue. Im getting error "sw rev. check fail. device: 2, binary: 1" when flashing back to 6.0.1 stock rom.
This is the log from Odin. I accidentally flashed a 7.0 stock firmware and cannot get back to 6.0.1 anymore.
my model SM-G935FD, came from Dubai UAE manufactured in Vietnam.
My phone frequently freezes on samsung logo when booting up and restarts then goes to bootloop.
My phone has also heating on the right front side of the screen when booting up. Is my phone having fried motherboard already?

U probably updated, bootloader and cp.Flash again 7.0,and then flash twrp,and install custom 6.0.1.
As mentioned, your 7.0 before you tried flashing back to 6.0.1 was with bootloader ending DRA#, that's why you have this error.

Thank you for the response, Yes I think having an newer version of Bootloader wont let you flash back to the previous version because of that error :
You still can flash back, but you need to use newest bootloader and modem files, where CSC and AP files can be from older firmware. I got back to 6.0.1 that way, although vibration no longer works. It works only on 7.0

My phone wont let me get into the Setup stage, it automatically freezes on Samsung logo whatever official rom I install. Do you think its a hardware issue?
There is a possibility, but you have to flash the newest possible firmware with the CSC version you had before it stopped working (so before first flash).

"Only officially released binaries..." error and I can't flash the stock firmware

"Only officially released binaries..." error and I can't flash the stock firmware
I sort of bricked my phone (i think this is considered bricked anyway) after rooting it and getting the "only official binaries allowed" message. I tried to flash the stock firmware via odin, and it was stuck at "NAND write start" with the box reading "set partition". The only options ticked in odin were f.reset time and auto reboot. I'm really scared I've messed it up permanently somehow, please help if you can.

Exact steps taken to root the phone:
I decided to root my phone via magisk. I installed TWRP via odin, didn't quite immediately boot into recovery, so I flashed it once more, and this time managed to. I kept it read only, and then formatted the phone via TWRP, rebooted into recovery again, flashed the no-verity file (no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0). I did not flash that RMM file I've seen after looking for solutions, and then rebooted my phone. It worked fine, magisk was installed, I went through the initial setup, restored my stuff from a backup etc. and then, I tried to install the xposed module in the magisk repo. Rebooted, and got the whole "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" message and couldn't boot up past the initial "samsung galaxy 8 - powered by android" screen, nor into my recovery. So, I went looking for solutions, and did something dumb. I tried to flash this file here (Nougat G950FXXU1AQL5 bootloader) before restoring the original firmware. I'm not sure what problems that might have caused, and the flash failed anyhow, but I don't know still. Moving on,

For starters use latest Odin 3.13.1 it supports the lz4 compression.
Device 3 binary 2 error means you are trying to flash early version firmware use the same or later version firmware
Oh wow, okay, I didn't realize I was flashing an earlier firmware, it's one I flashed earlier in the year and still the latest on updato for vodafone, but yeah there was an update to that. Thank you, so, so much. I was terrified and up till like 5 am last night trying to fix it, sick to my stomach etc. thinking I'd permanently messed things up.
For anyone reading this in the future, as of right now, the latest Vodafone SM-G950F Firmware (Australia) on updato is not the latest firmware (from what I understand you don't want to flash anything with XXU2. you want XXU3), but if you go to sammobile or use samfirm (helluva lot faster download speed for the record) you can get the latest firmware.
Anyway, thanks a lot spawnlives, really appreciate the help, and its good to know for the future If i ever do anything like this again what that message means.

Glad you got sorted out.
I am aware of the new firmware with ver3 bootloader it has been out for a while. Samfirm is probably the best for latest versions. I am using XSA (Australian unbranded) firmware i try not to use branded firmware like Telstra,Optus or Vodafone.

Samsung Galaxy S8 no OS while current binary is custom (0xe) Odin fails flashing roms

After rooting my Samsung Galaxy S8 I accidentally wiped all data including the OS. I'm completely new to this and wish for some detailed help from a professional.
Odin keeps giving a fail at param.bin using different ROMs. I've heard it might be the bootloader version that's incompatible but I'm not sure what to do and which bootloader version I have. I'm using the same firmware I've downloaded from sammobile before for my model number SM-G950F and even an extra one with Android pie on it, the same android version before this happened, but to no avail. Here is the log from Odin. Appreciate all help since I wiped the data after being stuck in the bootloader with a Samsung logo on it (alone) but after wiping everything it's the screen before it with the samsung logo AND "powered by android".
It may be relevant to note that I'd rather use Odin than an SD-card.
Edit: I checked the download screen on my s8 and found an error saying that SW REV. Failed Bootloader device 6 binary 4. I checked next to SWREV: B:6
So it apparently is a binary incompatibility for bootloader. Now my question is where can I find the suitable binary? All I see while downloading firmware is the model version and the date but not the binary.

Thanks in advance!
It worked!
So as a beginner's guide you need to check the error code given after failing in Odin in the download screen in the phone itself at the end of these codes.
My error code was as mentioned in the edit that I was trying to install a firmware with a binary version 4 whereas my device's version is 6. To find the correct firmware version you need to look for the part in the PDA code where it says U6 or U5 or U4 (binary version 6, 5 or 4 as examples respectively).
PDA code is for example: G950FXXU6DSK9 as in my case. This is different from the CSC code, you can find both in the sammobile website. You just have to compare your device's binary version found next to SWREV and identified with a B up among the codes in the download screen of your phone (after holding volume down power and bixby at the same time).
That's it. Special thanks to ZeroXO who contributed to the resolution of the issue and was very helpful ^^
Kindly share your experiences after you rooted your device. What are the pros n cons?
