Hello ! I was rooted with poweruser rom and decided to go back to stock i used the reset flashtool and successfully got back to stock but had a problem with the flashtool "Factory Reset Flag = 6
Factory Reset Flag Check Fail!!!
00000064
Error: Factory Reset Flag Check Failed" but i got to the homescreen(lg user interface) so i didnt really pay much attention to it. I want to root the phone and flash poweruser rom but had a doubt though, will flashing delete everything on the phone including stock image ,absolutely everything ? Please say yes ! I want to only be running the poweruser rom and not the stock image too from resetting the phone. Please help me !!

I think i bricked my s4. This is what i've done.
I had echoe illusion rom installed on my s4 and it worked fine but then i wanted to remove it to get a vanilla phone with a simple root. So i deleted cache and everything that you're suppose to do, and it worekd fine i had a vanilla phone with root, then i wanted to use gamekiller 2.6 but that wouldnt work unless i had a custom rom, so i download PAC rom and tried to flash that onto my device by installing zip from odin menu on the phone. it failed because there was a type error in the file and this made my phone brick, I get the message firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again.
what i've tried:
Flash a stock rom using odin (used 4 files, bootloader, pda, phone and csc) did not work it failed.
Re-root the phone. It passes but then it restarts and goes to the startup logo and stay there forever, i left it for half an hour and nothing happened.
flash a custom rom. doesn't work it fail.
use the recovery in kies, doesn't work i dont know what my number is.
I really need help with this as i have important things to do with my phone and i need it on ASAP!

If your phone gets download mode there is still a hope..
Reinstall samsung drivers on your pc again. restart it , change your data cable USB port (choice another port), try to flash... sometimes datacables and ports are tricky trolls.

#1: go to http://SamMobile.com and download the 1 file official firmware for your specific phone's model.(TAR.MD5)
#2: go into recovery and do a complete wipe including Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Data, System and
Dalvik cache.
#3: odin flash the original stock firmware which you downloaded from http://SamMobile.com
Doing that should fix the problems you are experiencing.
Good luck!

hi ,
i have N910F ,rooted , custom recovery CWM installed ,..stock ROM and on Lollipop... ...BOC3 ( was on ....BOB4 like you ) unfortunately if you flash you loose root and custom recovery .IF you do a "dirty flash" you should keep all your apps .
i used same CF autoroot version and CWM recovery version i used on Android v4.4.4 ,then Lollipop ...BOB4 and now on
Lollipop ...BOC3 ( I opted for full reset afterwards as i wanted to ) No problems
good luck
Just to be clear about a "dirty flash" in this case I still using odin as a tool , flash the rom , or I have to change some settings in odin ?
Can you please help me with this , the correct steps in flashing the rom ?
Thanks

hi,
if you are unsure about flashing with Odin look on YouTube /XDA or else for an example for Note 4. flashing with Odin.
Dirty flash is only a term to describe that before /after flashing with eg. Odin you did not "factory reset" your device. You juzt flashed over old software.,thus not needing to most likely re install any apps.
Problem is if you had any errors etc in previous Rom you could experience similar issues iin the new Rom. It's your choice
just to give you an example of dirty flash. When i upgraded from Android v 4.4.4 to lollipop BOB4 i did a dirty flash as i was to lazy to re install my apps. and my device was working 100% battery was fine etc. But yes flashing to... BOC3 i felt.. no i had more time on hand and didn't mind re installing
my 168 app i have on device. Used Titanium.. root
So i flashed.. lollipop .. BOC3.. Hard reset device.. flashed Cf autoroot to root.. checked if it was working and then flashed custom recovery Cwm
Downloaded Titanium again.. i have the paid Titanium version (as all 3rd party apps are wiped when hard resetting ) from market and restored all my apps.. from ext sd card i had backed up. before when flashing when i still was on ...BOB4
(Just remember to fix old Android Ext Sd card issue.. i used NextApp sd fix from Play market to get "write permission" as Titanium could not find it on my ext sd
good luck

hi ,
glad you sorted it out..!!!
just to clearify / elaborate my preferred order of "flashing "( above post )
It is still a "dirty flash " ,as you flash over all your apps from old ROM ,
but you correct it, by doing a "factory reset " (etc etc.) straight afterwards .
Other members prefer to factory reset before "flashing " and then again factory reset it again just after flashing . new Rom.. ..
i prefer either a straight "dirty flash" ( no factory reset afterwards ) or method/order i descibed in post above ..!
Reason i don't factory reset, before flashing is that if you factory reset and then flash and your flash goes wrong eg ..errors, corrupt download ,etc etc
you can hopefully , flash old ROM back and still have your old apps working ....but i don't think you are going to be happy reinstalling all your old apps on old ROM .i know i won't with all my apps !!!
good luck
Hi There
Im trying to fix another persons SM-N900I which is stuck in a bootloop.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PHONE
What I've been told is that the phone was receiving an OTA upgrade to Lollipop in which it crashed somewhere in the process, which caused the phone to become all glitchy (that's what she said). In addition this caused the KNOX flag to be tripped which meant that the carrier staff refused to honour the warranty saying it was caused by a custom flash.
So attempting to remedy this she tried to use odin to flash a stock rom which sent the phone into an indefinite bootloop. (Sorry no idea what rom she tried to flash or if she clicked something wrong).
WHAT I'VE TRIED
Using Kies to "Firmware Upgrade and Intialisation" with the model number and S/N. This completed successfully with no errors, however after a restart I still get a bootloop.
As in 1 but with factory reset and clearing cache in recovery before flash.
Using odin to flash stock rom from sammobile. Still bootlooped after flash.
Trying stock KITKAT rom from sammobile with odin. Still bootloops after flash.
Installing a custom recovery and installing a couple of custom roms (factory resetting and clearing dalvik cache before install). Still bootloops...
Flashing stock bootloader, and stock rom. Still bootloops...
I wanted to try and flash a PIT file however I get the "secure check fail : PIT" message with and without flashing it with stock rom. Im assuming this is because reactivation lock wasn't disabled.
Not really sure where to go from here?
Thank You

If you are using Windows operating system, have you tried running Odin "As Administrator" ( using right click on the mouse when you open Odin ), then try partitioning with the PIT file.
Hello..somedays back i tried to flash cm 12 available for my device..but after showing flashing complete successfully my mobile got stuck in odin mode...showing an error can't do normal boot..so i applied the stock rom..but the stock rom was 5.0.1 lollipop... It was an official update..now my phone works fine..except root..whenever i am trying to root it is rooting..but after rooting if i power off or reboot the phn...everything got crashed and force close.
Even my default launcher is also force closing (including each and every app)..
What should i do???plz help
?????
Don't have much knowledge about this but IMO you should factory reset your a5 and than try to flash stock rom again.
Wipe all partitions using twrp and flash stock rom again using odin..don't forget to backup your data
can you tell me how you rooted your device at first...............................................?
2 days ago i flashed twrp on my pure stock note 4, i did backup my rom including EFS using twrp and then flash kyubi rom with nameless kernel, it all went well. just now i wipe data ,system, cache on twrp and restore my backup stock rom and it went well too...and then i try to flash stock rom using odin so i can get back the stock recovery mode for OTA update when MM releases.. the flashing was a sucess and phone booted but my data inside werent wipe.
so i went to recovery mode and saw this dm-verity verification failed on the bottom i proceed to wipe data and reboot my phone, its all working now no problems except i cant reset my phone with the setting inside it will just bring me to recovey mode and stay there with that message.
now i did some research, some saying will bootloop and stuffs but mine is all ok no problem except i cant reset it inside the settings..
anyone can help me get rid of that message/problem?
If you format everything in advance format in twrp and then flash stock firmware this message will go away.
got the same problem. Then I went to a local store. They helped me. Here are steps
1. Pull out your battery, check your serial number (S/N:....)
2. Download smart switch, enter emergency software recovery..... Enter your serial number
3. Turn off your phone. Enter download mode or sth ( I don't remember it clearly. just power + vol down or up. just try it)
4. Smart switch will recognize your phone. Choose a firmware to download. then wait
5. Enjoy stock firmware
Use kies3 reinstall drivers, then use emergency recovery in kies to reinstall your current firmware or opt to update to latest or most recent release or version then follow kies instructions

Hello everyone
I have found a way to fix dm-verity and DRK issues and it works like official, meaning no errors in stock recovery and OTA works with Official firmware, the problem is related to corrupted/deleted 3 files on /efs partition. I have tested it on SM-N910C so I guess it works on other Exynos variants, perhaps even on snapdragon if the partition layout is similar? Kies won't restore DRK or dm-verity check because it doesn't write to EFS. I can fix yours if someone is interested via Team Viewer, you will need the following:
1. PM contact me for Skype ID
2. Stock rom, rooted (any root method)
3. Adb debugging enabled and drivers installed (Kies or SmartSwitch)
After repair you can enter your stock recovery and confirm there is no DRK/dm-verity red letters error.

magix01
please guide us the proceedure here .. i have a phone with same problem & i have to update it to MM ...

Mine still says fail. but it also says "need to check drk first" could anyone possibly help me im stuck.the phone loads up and everything. but when i try to root or anything or flash any other firmware than n910pvpu5dqi5 it fails about 4 seconds in to flashing on odin. ive downloaded every possible firmware specific to the SM-N910P but only one worked.
im a big noob with the note 4 this is my first luckily its not my daily phone yet. im very familiar with the note 3 n900t but im finding they are very different. any advice would be appreciated!

If you just unlocked your bootloader and thats it, your rom should still be the stock one.
