[possible fix] Broken camera after flashing MJ4 modem

Hey guys
After flashing MJ4 modem from official XXUDMJ6 my camera was not able to record any videos anymore.
Gave me an error and force closed a few seconds after pressing on the record button. Also happened with every other camera app.
Found a possible fix that worked for me, you might want to give it a try if you have the same issues.
What to do:
- Flash official untouched XXUDMJ6 firmware with Odin
- Reboot to download mode
- Flash XXUBMJ1 modem (get it here) via Odin 3.09
- Untick "Auto Reboot" and Flash as CP
- After flashing process is finished reboot in download mode again with 3 button combination and flash modem again (you may need to restart Odin and untick Auto Reboot)
- After flashing is done reboot smartphone
- Smartphone will start but will not ask for PIN and will have no connection, also system process will force close
- Reboot to download mode and reflash the whole untouched XXUDMJ6 firmware again
- Reboot, camera should be working now
I flashed Omega v 3.0 after this and camera still works.

Flashing non-hlos from stock mj6 should be a good solution also

Flashing NON-HLOS.bin and modem.bin wasn't enough in my case. Even adding hidden.img.ext4 and multiple factory resets didn't solve the problem and camera and WLAN kept broken.
The only solution was to include boot.img and recovery.img from the unmodified Samsung tar-file.
Create a tar.md5 including the following files:
NON-HLOS.bin
boot.img
cache.img.ext4 <- created by Universal RDLV
hidden.img.ext4
modem.bin
recovery.img
system.img.ext4 <- created by Universal RDLV
DO NOT INCLUDE THE .MDB FILES!!! DO NOT INCLUDE UNMODIFIED system.img.ex4!!!
Use Odin from the RDLV-Bundle to flash that tar.md5 file and you will be fine. I'm on OXAUDMJ6 now with Knox-Flag 0x0 and working root, camera and WLAN.
Additionally I changed my region from XEF (France) to BTU (UK) with "Galaxy CSC Changer" (PlayStore) to match the region of the CSC file - but that step should be optional.
Using the wrong CSC doesn't change the Knox-Flag - I had to do it to change from XEF to BTU, because they are not in the same multi.csc file.

Samsung Galaxy S5. Cant flash stock rom and Update it with kies.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) is stuck at the boot screen and keeps restarting. I cant go into recovery mode. I can only go into the download mode. I tried to flash it with odin and update it with kies. But none of it works.
At the download mode screen it says:
ODIN : flash read failure
Error: There is no pit binary
Odin screen:
<ID:0/013> Odin engine v(ID:3.1101)..
<ID:0/013> File analysis..
<ID:0/013> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/013> Initialzation..
<ID:0/013> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/013>
<ID:0/013> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Any help will be appreciated

Got your back.
Hey man just make sure you closed odin completely.
1. Start Kies
2.Click Tools-> Firmware upgrade and initilazation
3.Type in model of your phone for example sm-g900i which is my Australian S5 then it will ask you for your SN which is a 16 digit code serial number located on the back of your phone when you remove the battery.
Then just follow steps until it asks YOUR phone to be connected... DONT connect it yet...first put it in download mode; phone turned off; press home but, power but, and vol down bot at same time then press vol up key to enter download mode.
Connect phone; then just wait 1 hour and voila you got your phome with latest stock firmware.
Please reply to us if this worked for you as this can help new users to determine what to do.
Cheers
Sorry but English is not my first language, hope i made myself clear.
If there is anything else i can do to assist please let me know.:laugh:

Which Kies works with the S5? Because neither seem to be working
I'm having pretty much the same problem, had a bad flash and can't boot into recovery or get it detected in Kies
And I can't flash stock Marshmallow or Lollipop till I finish downloading them
Going through firmware upgrade and installation option and putting in the model just causes Kies to freeze using either version

Kies will automaticlly download the correct atock fw.....just use Kies lite versiom which is the one i used a couple of days ago and had exactly the same problem as you i actually had a corrupter pit file so there was no partition being found...again install and use lite kies for samsung then just dlow the steps ut should automatically download the firmware and install it into samsung at the same time you shpuld not remove the cable whatsoever during download and installation and actually make sure yu have the drivers for samsung installed and that the usb cable you are using is original....hope it works if you need a detailed guide with instalation steps let me know or heck i cpuld even help out with a video just let me know.
Hope you get it sorted and if you do please let us all know so in the furute people can see the answer.
Cheers.

It's alright I fixed it now, still couldn't get Kies to work
I flashed the latest version of Lollipop (no carrier) to the phone, which initially sent it into a bootloop. But that enabled recovery again so I did a data and cache wipe, flashed the same ROM from ODIN again and it worked

G950f - After TWRP stuck on logo, no recovery, odin says 'no PIT patrition'.. help!

Hi all, i've also posted this on sammobile but have had little response. I installed TWRP on my S8 (G950f) and when it rebooted got stuck on the logo screen. I cannot enter recovery mode, only download mode. I've tried flashing with the latest Odin and it fails at the start with error DeviceInfo. So i installed an older version of Odin and now receive the error 'Set PIT file'. I cannot find a PIT file online for the G950f and upon reading it seems this is taken from the CSC file when 'repartition' is selected. I've done this to no avail, still 'Set PIT File' is displayed. I'm certain that the firmware is correct as it's been used before with success. For some reason this TWRP seems to have effed things up. I'm close to putting the phone on Ebay and never touching samsung again

Hi, i've downloaded the file mentioned but it's a zip file and there's no BL file contained within it. I can't install via recovery as my phone wont enter recovery.

Download the BL from https://www.sammobile.com/devices/ or using https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647

OK I've gotten somewhere (i hope). Followed your suggestion and after repeatedly pressing the Start button in ODIN have managed (somehow) to get into TWRP. However when i click 'install' the 'internal memory' displays as 0 with no option to select it.
Where do i go from here? Looks as if the internal storage is corrupt

The pit file is located in the CSC_OXM_G950FOXM1... file. Open it with winrar or 7zip and extract it.

Do i need to exit TWRP then? I feel like i'd gotten somewhere

Yes, you need to use Odin, or alternatively Smart Switch.

I've (kinda) managed to sort it!
Looked online and downloaded the files for AQF7 (just the BL and CP files) and whilst in download mode clicked start, held the 3 download buttons down again and hammered the start button in odin.. that made it boot into TWRP. However this just proved there was no partition there as the internal memory read zero.
So i downloaded the firmware for my device (XEU) and opened the CSC file with 7-zip and took out the .PIT file then in ODIN I JUST added the .PIT file and BL files. Pressed start and it worked but still only booted to the logo screen.
Next i added the AP file in ODIN and flashed that. This now went without a problem as the .PIT file had done its job repartitioning the phone.. The phone then restarted and booted to the welcome screen.
Some oddities which i don't understand are that in my Settings menu i now have an option 'T roaming' which shouldn't be there. and also a service provider option for 'KT twophone' whoever that is.
Confusing as i selected my countries (UK) XEU firmware.
My phone says 'international' on the boxes label so whether it's different firmware i'm not sure (couldn't find an international firmware on sam mobile).
*Edit..
I discovered that the additional options in the settings menu were due to me not flashing the CSC file so i reflashed all files at once (ensuring that odin had been reset first) and everythings back to normal.
Interestingly i wonder if i flashed a USA CSC file, would it give me access to the additional content available through the samsung USA store - they seem to have more AOD's, addons etc

Well Derr... because i discovered that android pay didn't work i felt like i had no option but to install TWRP... tried it, followed the instructions perfectly and it failed on DeviceInfo so now i'm back to the beginning.. stuck at the galaxy logo screen ( getting fed up of this phone now

It got worse, however i've fixed it. I kept getting stuck in a boot loop despite having a successful flash. I just happened to check the files being flashed and realised that the BL file was the AQF7 bootloader and the other files were from my countries firmware. so i reflashed just the BL file for my country and the phone has now started
It looks as though flashing with TWRP won't work on my device for some reason as it seems to delete or corrupt the PIT. It's then a pain to get it all back working again.
Any other options to install TWRP?
Thanks

Hey mate. I am in the exact same boat as you, I am new to this and need some help. Where did you get your files, could you link them to me please? I don't know what I am meant to be doing and my back up didn't work properly so I can't even just go back to stock

Fully Updated Sprint G930P bootlooping after Odin flash - SW REV CHECK FAIL Error

I got this S7, wanted to flash 930U firmware to use T-Mobile but a failed flash has me in a boot loop. I fully updated before trying to flash, so it is I assume on the newest bootloader, etc.
I have attempted the newest firmware files that I can find (G930AUCS4BQL1) but am still getting the SW REV CHECK FAIL through Odin.
Are there files available that will fix this, do I just need to wait for them to come out, or have I bricked this thing?
Thanks for any help and have a great day!
Update:
- Using PrinceComsy Odin results in: FAIL! (Auth)
- USB Debugging is OFF and I am unable to boot to change that
- I am leaving the BL file blank in ODIN

perhaps you should try using offcial odin when flashing official images.
try version 3.12.3. whatever you do, don't use the princecomsy version unless for flashing engboot
