[Q] I9505 ORO - Unsupported dev_type whent trying to flash back original firmware

Dear colleagues,
I have been busting my noob brains for a few days now an i am finally asking for your help.
I have rooted my i9505 stock firmware and afterwards i flashed Janjan's 4.3 G edition firmware.
Now i would like to go back and when i try to flash the latest original firmware form sammobile for my carrier (ODIN 1.85 - 3.07) i get the FAIL result with the unsupported dev_type message.
I looked around before asking and all i could find were people which were shooting in the dark....
Thank you very much for your help!!!

Tried re-downloading the firmware?
Could just be a bad download mate

[Help]Firmware Issues

Hi,I'm new here and i have a problem my phone is showing the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.".I don't know how to fix this:crying:.
my phones status in odin mode isroduct name:SM-G7102
Current binary:Custom
System status:Custom
i was running the Indian NG7 4.4.2 rom.i cant flash the G4 rom because it will only show an error.i think i need to flash a G7 rom instead of G4 am i right or wrong?and if someone can reply i will be very grateful.

If you already had CWM installed earlier, flash it again using odin. Once done you will be able to turn on your phone with whatever version of rom u have installed already.

thank you for replying but everything is all wiped EVERYTHING Boot,system,etc i was running the stock android 4.4.2 it was only rooted i can flash cwm through odin after that waht can i do?

heyy bro same problem here...although i flashed the stock recovery and binary went back to Official but status was custom... tried a lot to flash the G4 firmware but couldn't.... hence i gave it to service centre..wont get warranty.. they said if they succeed by updating the software then it will be $3.27 else they will unroot which may cost $12.26.....
i just want my phone back to life:crying:

Yeah we have the same problem so did you manage to fix it? I think to fix it via odin we need the official NG7 rom from samsung but they haven't released it in sammobile or at samsung updates

post some screen shot
say ur problem in briefly.. how u get this problem?

NG7 release. ......hurry

Initialize your grand 2 firmware using kies. It will install the latest firmware but you will lose root. [emoji4]

Marshmallow bootloader?

Hi guys,
I have just been trying to go from a custom rom (Older Dr Keaton Rom) to marshmallow.
I downloaded the marshmallow firmware and after flashing in PC Odin I now get " Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue.Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
I have no certainty but suspect that it needs a different bootloader?
This is the marshmallow stock uk rom,
N910FXXS1DPH8_N910FO2U1DPG2_N910FXXU1DPB1_HOME.tar
I have a N910F Note 4.
Can anyone help me get this back to a working stock rom?
EDIT* I have the phone working on an old rom based on Boc 5.
So still how to get it to Marshmallow. Is it different bootloader?
Thanks in advance.

I am in exactly the same position, coming from the same rom to marshmallow with the 910F. how did you fix it?
Anyone can help me?

Hi,
I can't remember how I fixed it, but I think it was just down to getting the correct rom to load into it. I am sorry but it was ages ago so I cant be sure...
It was either that I just found a rom that worked or changed the bootloader.
Good luck mate
