Some help please - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
So i tried to update my galaxy s6 edge to the latest firmware and once it did, it got stuck in the samsung screen and wont boot. The phone was rooted before, and now it just stays stuck. I have restarted the phone and now I have tried flashing the phone using Odin. It keeps saying failed and it shows the following:: " SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1"
I dont know what to do to be honest, if anyone can help me i would really appreciate it.

Might I suggest the S6 Edge boards? You're more likely to get the right answer there. You'll find those over here.
Still, this is a pretty general Samsung error.... Not my area of expertise, but a quick Google search on "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1" reveals this error occurs when you A, try to downgrade the bootloader, or B, flashed the wrong firmware.
Suggested solutions include booting in Download mode and flashing the correct firmware, or if that fails to flash the correct firmware with the PIT file.
Which firmware did you use?

Okay, that's officially weird. I've seen softbricks happen after OTAs quite a few times, but never with this error.
You should be able to find the correct firmware here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G925T/
As for the PIT file, there's no database of those. Someone on the T-Mobile S6 Edge boards probably has one. You'll need to ask on these boards, the link in my previous comment is for the international S6 Edge.

new binary

anyone out there have the custom boot images for qualcomm binary 5 yet?
sprint just released binary 5 OTA update, im assuming the previous revision 4 binary boot images won't work any longer
also does anyone have a download link to the new builds? can't seem to find them anywhere g935p and g930p if you have them.
Hmm. guess this is why I was having a problem with my phone. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74590415&postcount=402
Just had an issue flashing SM-G935V software to my SM-G935P because I didn't realize I'd picked up an OTA putting me on binary 5. My phone is currently in a fun, bricked state. If anyone has links to a binary 5, Odin-flashable firmware download, I'd very much appreciate it.
If there's another way to flash something in download mode, other than using Odin, where I could drop something earlier than binary 5 on there, I haven't found it yet. Thoughts? The error on the phone is SW REV CHECK Fused 5 > Binary 4.
I come from a long line of HTC phones, so I've been comfortable with custom ROMs and unlocking bootloaders. Unfortunately, using Odin, I expected if something didn't match, it wouldn't flash anything (like RUUs with HTC phones). Not so much the case, apparently. haha -- live and learn!

You going to have to wait until VZ includes it in an update. As of right now, only the Sprint version has the bootloader update...I'm sure it will hit the rest during the next update or so.

That makes sense. Sprint was on their game, I guess. Thanks!
new build on sammobile QJ3 rom
No Binary 5 for VZW, TMB or U firmware at this moment. They released updates with Binary 4. I don't like the Sprint rom and now I've a cellphone using G930P QL1 fimware
Has anyone heard of G930U or G935U Rev 5 being out yet? Or is Sprint still the only one on the Binary 5 Version? Man they pulled a fast one with only allowing Sprint to goto Rev5. I am sure it put a damper on all us folks who like flashing the Crappy Sprint Phones into the Unlocked Versions or a GSM Carrier such as Att or Tmobile. Please let me know if another carrier has hit Binary 5 yet.

No...everyone else is still on 4. There has been a binary update with major OS releases...I hope that this is the case again.

S7 Edge G935P issues Flashing Supposedly compatible G935U Rom

Hello Everyone I understand that this would have been better posted at the Roms and development Forum but it would not let me post because of some anti-spam thing. Anyways I was told that I could Cross flash the g935U rom on any variant of the S7 edge so I tried to install it the same way I installed the Stock Sprint G935P firmware. When I was flashing the flash stopped and locked up. The phone has a error on the screen saying SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 5 > Binary 2. Any help would be appreciated. Attached is a picture of the screen and the Odin Logs.

Ran into the same problem. It seems Sprint decided to switch to binary 5 on the QL1 firmware while the rest of the carriers didn't and stayed on 4. I have been looking all over for a way to root my SM-G935P on QL1 firmware and have found nothing. Looks like we're SOL for now thanks to Sprint.
So We Need To Wait For The Android Oreo Update or just wait for G930U To Update The Firmware

You rooted SM-G935P on G935PVPU5BQL1 firmware? If so ...... Yes please show me the way. Been trying to figure it out for quite sometime.
can you downgrade to the previous versions of marshmallow and them rom over to 935u?
you will have to find the previous boot loader file and flash all 4 together for it to work.
just a guess. ill do some research.

Was going to do the same thing after getting a good deal on a pre-owned s7edge from BoostMobile. I had no problem getting the sim unlocked for MintSim(MVNO-Tmobile), and it seemingly works fine after setting APN settings. I'd prefer to not have the g935p firmware. I'm assuming if I can somehow switch to g935u I'll be able to use it more comfortably for both verizon pre pay and MintSim? If there is a way to downgrade to the binary 4, I'd like to know as well. As far as I know I'm still able to use Samsung Pay, so I'd like to keep that option open.
Only thing we can hope for as of right now is that the oreo update is binary 5 on the U firmware. But I dont see that happening. Think thats a new exclusive for sprint to keep people tied down. Hopefully im wrong....
On a more positive note, the bootloader binary has been updated across carriers with every major os upgrade.

I think the same. Sellers were selling S7 and S7 Edge models with U firmware for international use, no sprint apps, logo or restrictions and maybe sprint was losing customers and they decided to update the binary to avoid this situation. Really I prefer the U firmware instead Sprint or Verizon stock rom

On the Oreo update? I havent even checked.
Hasn't been released yet, but it has happened from MM to Nougat. Just speculating that it will happen when Oreo drops.

Trying to root AT&T Galaxy S7 on Oreo

Hello,
I'm new to this whole root business, and I wanted to try it out on my wife's old Galaxy S7. I followed a guide on tenorshare.com.
When I tried to root the phone, I got an error that said "Odin version protocol error." So then I downloaded a different version of odin and then I made it past the first error, but then got one that said "Fail! SHA256 is Invalid". I've been looking around and can't find any clear answer. The phone is a Galaxy S7 on AT&T, running Oreo. It is model number G-930A.
Just wondering if anyone can help. I'd really like to try out a rooted phone, but it's proving harder to achieve than I thought. Thanks in advance!
Well if you have a regular S7, you're on the wrong forum. This one is for the S7 Edge AT&T models.
Here's where you need to be posting at for your phone.

Sir, it means that your baseband doesn't have that kind of firmware.

New refurb stuck on FRP lock boot loop.

Hi lads
My partner recently got a refurbed 128 gig S7Edge, perfect quality no issues.
I never had a look at it, I've only ever used and worked on HTC phones, so I don't want to **** this up by randomly doing stuff. I know he's unlocked dev options for things like keeping screen on etc, but other than that I don't even know which version of the OS it's running, if it was even genuine stock or if the refurb guy had possibly flashed another version. Who knows.
Last night was the first time it ever completely discharged, and as he tried to turn it on this morning, it popped up with the custom binary FRP error message.
It will only boot to download mode which is in Korean (nightmare getting google translate camera to work on a phone screen), usb not recognised on my laptop.. I'm not really sure what I should do next. Most threads I can find are about people flashing custom roms and getting errors but we've done no such thing, the battery simply discharged.
If you could guide me to the next step , what's safe and what isn't, that'd be very helpful, thanks! Different when you're working on someone else's phone.
Edit: Download Mode shows Current Binary as custom and system status as official. Is this correct though, or is it just a standard assumption with this FRP thing?
Have tried using SamFirm but neither the model SM-G935S, nor region (Korea) seems to exist. Found something on Updato but it's a 10 hour browser download I'm pretty sure is gonna fail as always happens.
Right I've tried flashing every version of firmware from Updato which took.. well since the post to download. I'm just getting errors, I'm getting absolutely nowhere and I have no idea what to do next. The seller is happy to replace the phone .. with a 32 gig version instead of 128 gig. That's.. that's not great. There's gotta be something I'm overlooking here? Also, SamFirm doesn't have my version and just gives me errors when putting it in manually.. Should I not be going for the original firmware which is Korean? Can I go for a UK version and it won't matter?

I found the Korean SM-G935S in SamMobile https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s7-edge/firmware/#SM-G935S you should try it.

Samsung S8 Brick HELP

I tried flashing Magisk onto my phone, everything was going well then suddenly it went into a boot loop and I assume Knox was tripped. I can get it into download mode but I can't find the firmware and I'm quite lost. Someone, please help!
I am also looking for my firmware. I must say it's a huge pain in the rear to find something that you can download for free.
From what I found it seems the fastest option is from samfw dot com
There, you have to find out your version, your region and carrier as well.
Good luck, you're not alone, although as you wrote it 4 days ago I assume and hope you already found something
edit: found better site
Did any of you guys get your phones working? Also have a bricked S8
