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.

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

I know this isnt the right place for this thread, but i lost my other login credentials and had to start fresh, so Im posting here....
Device: SM-T230NU
Problem: I used a website outside of XDA to root my device. I followed the instructions precisely too, I than unplugged the device hoping that replugging and restarting odin would fix the problem i have/had as displayed by the picture. I than tried rebooting the device, and got this error message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. Well I downloaded Kies 3, and much to my surpise I got an error message about the samsung galaxy tab 4 7.0 not being supported by Kies 3. I am now downloading Kies 2.6, so I can atleast get this device booting normally.
If you knew this was not the place to post, why did you post a question here? A play by play of your device root is not of much interest to anyone! I hope you got it fixed up anyway!
It's been fixed. I found an alternate DL site that had Odin in the package..I used ODIN to run cf_auto_root which created that firmware upgrade issue...I had to Odin firmware from the links I found on these forums...it's rooted now though
Hello guys
Yesterday I was trying to root my Galaxy s3 neo (thing that I've already done with my old S2) but when Odin came to 25% of its work, a FAIL text showed up and blocked everything. I had to reboot my phone, but this thing didn't happen, as it gets stuck on the "firmware upgrade incountered an issue" screen. I tried to install a new stock ROM (adding its PIT file too) through Odin but it doesn't work, as it gets ready in recovery mode and then fails again after 3 seconds telling me that there is a problem with an ext4 file. I'm not a developer (but working on it) and I'm kind of a noob, but could you help me out?
Thanks a lot in advance guys!
I'm trying to unlock my sprint samsung galaxy s4 so that i can use tmobile. I'm a complete noob so I just did some research and tried to follow directions correctly. I've managed to first flash the phone from l720vpsgpl1 to mf9 then to mdc using odin. Then when I tried to unlock the phone, for some reason the service mode page is blank and the imei number is missing. I read somewhere that i have to flash it back to mf9 and root the phone. I rooted it with cf auto root through odin. Everything seemed to be fine until "software not recognized by samsung has been found on your phone" with a yellow triangle showed up upon reboot. I can't even get past the logo screen. I have it back in download mode now and tried to flash mf9 again...Honestly I don't know what I'm doing and have spent days trying to unlock my stupid phone. Someone please help and give me precise directions. Thank you so much.
I'm completely at a loss at this point.
I attempted to root my Samsung S7 (AT&T) with Odin, and received an error. This is my first time ever rooting a phone, and I am generally oblivious to this kind of stuff. I disconnected the phone, and it began bootloop. I loaded it into download mode, and attempted to reset to stock. However, I have had endless issues trying to flash the stock firmware to my phone. At one point I unplugged the device once again, and I received the "use Emergency Restore" error screen. I tried to restore with Smart Switch, but I was not able to access my S/N (box is nowhere to be found, managed to find a S/N on Samsung's website since I registered it but Smart Switch wouldn't take it). So, I figured trying to restore with Odin was my last option. I have tried at least 3 different Odin versions, both modified and not, and not a single one of them has worked. I've received Complete(write) errors, Model Dispatch Fail errors, and Re-Partition errors. I've tried about 3 different firmware files as well, and while I think the one I have right now is most recent, none of them seem to be working. I thought maybe an issue I was encountering was that USB debugging or whatever it's called was disabled, but I have no way of telling because I cannot boot my phone.
I was fiddling around with all of this from 11pm to 6am last night, and picked it back up as soon as I woke up. I've been freaking out about this for hours.
I feel like I'm running in circles here. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I'm recovery bootlooped as well. The only thing I can boot is download mode.
I wasn't very cautious with this process, and I am completely unfamiliar with most lingo on these forums and the whole process in general. I really regret trying to do this. So -- is there anything else I can try to do to fix it? Or is my phone bricked for good??? I'm endlessly frustrated and have honestly felt like crying a few times over this. I shouldn't have messed with something I know nothing about. :crying:
I thank you for your patience in dealing with me as a beginner + appreciate any help you're able to give.
Cheers.

If you can at least get into download mode, then simply flash it with the latest STOCK firmware for your particular model.
That will bring it back to life, and you can attempt rooting it again, if you dare

Did you finally recover your phone? I'm in the same problem here since yesterday and feel your frustration right now. My phone is a Samsung S7 model SM-G930A from AT&T.
I found this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039 and I following the "Return to stock part", now downloading the firmware. Hope it helps.
I'm stucked in the blue screen "An error ocurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software". Of course I try the Smart Switch but says that my model is not supported!
How can you recovered the download mode? I press the on/off button for some seconds and the screen turn of, but it turn on again with the freaking blue screen "An error ocurred while updating the device software. ...". I tried all the possible button combinations.
Thanks and good luck.
Stock firmware
Make sure when you go into download mode and flash that plugging the phone in is the LAST thing you do. I.e. plug phone in only after it is in download mode and only after you open Odin. Secondly, make sure you flash the STOCK firmware, as in Android Marshmallow v6.0.1 . Additonally, make sure that the re-partition option is NOT ticked, and also you might want to try turning off auto-reboot, and just hold the power button after unplugging once the status bar is all the way full and Odin says complete. Also, you need to make absolutely sure that you're getting the firmware for your exact device. I.e. SM-G930A stock firmware is NOT compatible with SM-G930F models. You could also try reinstalling the Samsung drivers. I just flashed to stock firmware then updated back to Nougat yesterday, mostly without a hitch by following these guidelines. There is a download page on rootmygalaxy with all the stock firmwares, that's what I used (I'd link but I just registered here). There is a very helpful guide on droidviews about how to update to Nougat 7.0 once you have finished flashing the stock firmware.
If I were you, I would just avoid rooting altogether. Rooting for me caused very bad performance and battery life, and it wasn't really worth the trouble. Sure, getting in-app-purchases for free was nice but I never tried flashing a custom ROM or anything because most of the stories I read involved soft bricks, bootloops, etc.
Hopefully not having USB Debugging and OEM unlock ticked doesn't brick your phone, I'm doubtful that it will. For the poster above me, make sure your phone is all the way off, the download mode button combo is vol. down+power+home all at the same time, and hold them. A screen should pop up saying press vol. up to continue. If you're still having problems, I regret to say that I am also relatively new to this and I am not all that knowledgeable.
I just made a post about my unrooting process, hopefully it helps!
