Hi there,
I have installed Cyanogenmod on my S4, but it isn't what i needed on my phone. So I want to revert back to the stock firmware. I planned on doing this via Odin, yet i don't manage to do so. I open Odin, load the PDA, wait for it to load, click on start and get a fail message: Fail (auth). On the S4 i see the text 'sw rev check fail fused 3 binary 1'. Next my phone won't boot anymore untill I flash CWM. I have searched the internet for a solution but I cannot find my problem anywhere. I'm in desperate search for a solution.

I'm simply trying to return to stock. I bootloop if I let it boot normally. I'm not sure what to do! I've tried following these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483380 to no avail.
EDIT: Now, when I try to boot normally I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use Software Repair Assistant & try again."
Could someone help me out?

I hear that works to get it booted.
almost a noob question
I'm having the same problem but nothing is fixing it. i tried rooting my phone last night but forgot i took the update verizon pushed out a couple weeks ago. I was attempting the de la vega method with odin 3 v3.09. it failed and my phone has "sw rec check fail: the fused 2 > binary 1" error message followed by "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please use software repair assistant & try again". I have tried kies 3 to do emergency firmware recovery, but when it opens, error message says connected device not supported. i've also downloaded stock image and tried flashing it from odin. I found unbrick directions that said to use odin 3 v1.85, but that didn't work either. what can i do to unbrick my phone????
this is the first time i've (attempted to) root a samsung phone. i've rooted my dinc, dinc2, razr, nexus 7 and nexus 10. but i feel like a total noob with this phone
??

I am getting the same error on 2 of my galaxy note 4's Please help
You are trying to load old firmware on a phone that has already been updated at some point in its life. You can not go backwards in firmware except 5.0 can be back reved to 4.4.4

Ok I have looked all over the web and tried many things but am not able to boot. When I do try to boot I get the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use Software Repair Assistant & try again." message.
What I had done so far to get to this point is I rooted my phone with Kingo and that worked fine. I had not updated my phone with the OTA update but eventually tried to update cause it was asking all the time and was annoying. That ended up failing but was still able to use phone with Kingo root and still asking for OTA update. I then tried to flash back to stock but that failed with "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [about] Fused 2 > Binary 1" and now I boot to the error i mentioned at the top and am not able to flash any stock rom I have found. Always get that error or sometimes I get a MD5 check sum error when trying to use some roms I'm found on XDA. Any help would be great I use this phone for work.
Thanks all
Fixed
Finally found a rom that I was able to flash to phone and got it back up and running. Not sure why but all my apps where still on my phone.
I have an ATT Galaxy S5 (SM-G900A)
After upgrading to latest firmware release I have been having a ton of issues (apps crashing, running slowly, not starting at all, etc).
I have tried to factory reset my phone a few times to no avail.
I thought if I re-installed the stock firmware it might resolve the problem, but Odin v3.09 gives me a "Fail (AUTH)" error and I get an SW REV CHECK FAIL on my phone, I also can't find any custom roms that will work with my phone.
Again I have the SM-G900A
android 4.4.2
Bseband: G900AUC2ANG3
any help is appreciated

you can find and flash the ance software but the modem on that is terrible for me. i couldnt find ang3 anywhere but did put ance to bring mine back to stock. also, install safestrap and put dynamic kat on as a custom rom.

I tried flashing the ANCE and that is what gives me the "Fail (AUTH)" and "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] fused 2 > binary 1"

You got that error because the firmware being flashed (1ANCE) is older then the firmware on your phone (2ANG3).
Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to search for a newer firmware.
Just did that, the 1ance is all it finds
Is there anyway to force a downgrade?

Sorry I don't know how to downgrade.
You may need to find another firmware that is compatible with your device and newer than your current firmware.
You can ask in the AT&T S5 Forum for better response.
I was going to root my Note 3 N900 but then I added both the same md5 file to AP and CSC and now it won't start, saying something like "firmware encountered an upgrade error". Can someone help me out please, I am worried. I already downloaded the stock roms, and odin, I just need to know if there are extra things/files that I need.
If you are able to start the phone in download mode you are ok.
Just flash stock rom and you will be back to business.
Hi all,
First of all sorry my English not that good,
and please read it to the end
few days ago I tried to downgrade from Lollipop 5.1.1 to Kitkat 4.4.4 which i found later it is something can't be done,
but back then processor failed and i get some things on Odin , it stops on sboot.bin and fail and my phone in download mode says : sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
so as an android user i looked all arount the web and Xda forums and found a way to flash Kitkat with a way to avoid
sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
which was to delete sboot.bin and modem and compress them to .tar again , and guys that was the dumbest thing i did,
My note won't start and says : FIrmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again
so as usual I looked again and someone somewhere said "why don't you try PIT file"
so i tried and that work for me and WoW my note work again , and from then i I stopped all the Experiments at the poor Note 4.
but yesterday some App on my note (which require Root and I can't tell you what it is) do some weird stuff and reboot.
the devise work but this message appeared (com.google.process.gapps - unfortunately google play store has stopped) constantly, constantly and constantly ,and that is painful , so I backed up my files and wiped every thing and restart the devise but still getting the same message , so I tried flashing lollipop again but still getting the same error on download mode
sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
so i used PIT file again but nothing worked
so you know the deal , I looked around and again someone somewhere said use CWM to deal with sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
So i did , and get into recovery and I use every wipe option i did found,
and restart my note , and THIS IS THE END MY NOTE STUCK IN GALAXY NOTE 4 LOGO NO MATTER WHAT I DID
right now i am downloading Ukranian lollipop firmware but I don't think this will make a difference
Any help guys any solution to fix my phone , please i can't afford to pay to fix it
thank you in advance
UPDATE : My friend told my to root it again maybe it will work , but i just got the old recovery but still STUCK IN GALAXY NOTE 4 LOGO
So my device now working i just download this frimware
HERE
Ukranian one , and work like magic , I hope this thread work for someone else ,
If flashing the latest stock Samsung firmware back onto your device doesn't fix your problem. I would recommend taking it into a Samsung Service Center to see if they can fix it for you. If it's software based they will usually fix it for you free of charge.
