Stuck on OE1? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I haven't taken any OTA updates but I did flash OE1. Odin will not allow my to flash back to NK2. Every time I try it fails and the phone reads : SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1. Is there any hope for going back or am I stuck with lollipop?

have you tried going back to ncg? also go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/guide-safestrap-access-odin-t3126686 and download the NI2 flasher and try doing it with that it doesnt matter which kernel you flash

If you took the factory OTA OE1 or OG5 update you stuck with LP. You can't go back.

[Q] Odin Flashing Problems with Note 3 and Kitkat

I have rooted my Samsung Note 3 with a custom rom running Jellybean 4.3 with clockwork mod recovery. I have tripped knox due to rooting it. When Kitkat came out March 17th 2014, I wanted to upgrade and go back to official firmware with Kitkat to try it out. Since I have rooted my phone to run viper4android audio kernel I am unable to do an official OTA or Kies update. That said I went about downloading the new Bell Canada Note 3 firmware 4.4.2. I was told to flash a Jellybean Bell Firmware first before flashing the Kitkat version to avoid boot loops or other problems. Trying to do so with Odin in download mode ended in failure just trying to flash jellybean stock. Didnt get that far really. It showed a fail in the Note 3 screen to this effect in read this message (sw rev check fail : sbl1 fused 2 binary 1) . Odin didnt load like I am usually use to seeing by unzipping the firmware into a folder and adding it to the PDA field. After I loaded the .tar file (md5) file into pda it checked it and then told me its finished successfully but the next line it said CS Fail. After hitting start it said fail instantly in the odin window and on the Note 3 I did see a bar showing me the progress of install for 1 second until odin told me of the fail. Now my Note is in download mode and can't get past this problem to get it running again! Please any help would be greatfull to getting me past this problem and onto Kitkat or even back to Jellybean. Any other questions you may have I will supply you the info.
Thanks

I havent been able to do anything. I was on Jellybean 4.3.2 custom rom with a custom recovery and tried to flash it back to a stock version of Jellybean before the update to Kitkat. I didnt get that far to even try flashing Kitkat because flashing Jellybean Canadian stock rom was unsuccessful with the errors I mentioned in my earlier post. Now I am stuck in download mode and unable to flash using odin.

I think you can power if off by pressing the power button for a few seconds. And then flash a custom recovery, reboot and flash a Kit Kat custom rom via Odin or Custom recovery. Hope it helps.

Knox was tripped. You said it yourself. Go and read up on Knox.
The answer will be very clear afterwards. It's quite clear to me.
Also, don't take this the wrong way.... but you probably should not have done any of this my friend. Your skill level makes this obvious.
I suggest not getting a Samsung phone next time as Knox is hard to get around (it's possible, I was rooted on 4.3 and I am now on 4.4.2 stock flashed with Odin and Knox is still 0x0).

what's the CSC of your phone? you should try the one newer vesion of 4.3 cause if it's an older firmware it refused flash

Galaxy S5 (AT&T) Stuck on Samsung Boot Logo

Okay, So I was trying to flash stock rom (4.4.2) in Odin and It failed. IT left me with the error, SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 4 > Binary 1
I get this error every time I try to flash. And I tried to do an Emergency Software Recovery and it just fails after it downloads the Update. I am able to access Android Recovery and Download Mode Aswell. I think when I tried to factory reset I deleted The whole OS. I really hope I am not out a brand new phone. I already tried to flash like 3 different stock roms from different websites same error!
Phone was Not rooted.
No Custom Rom installed.
Android 5.1.1 Was installed before.
Also, I heard that some users have been able to flash the pit and fix this, How can I find my Pit File. Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900A

T537V - Downgrade 5.1.1 (OG1) to 4.4.4 (NK1)?

Flashing the NK1 firmware onto a T537V with OG1 installed results in an error at aboot.mbn.
On the boot screen i get,
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 3 > Binary 2.
my guess is that this is not possible without a modified aboot.
anyone had any luck with this?
thank you.
I don't think there is any development on this device. We can only root with king root. Now if any one pointed us to a good guide on what to debloat or even if we can install a romantic from a different device that what would be great? So in a nutshell we probably can't downgrade

No Firmware - Help Please

So I succesfully unlocked my note 4. Then I tried to install a MM rom following one of the guides. It failed an Odin update and now I have no firmware. I tried to go back to 5.1.1 by using the full version Odin flash and the recovery flash, but they both fail at the end of system. The phone is currently showing showing Software Update Failed when I turn it on and it connects to Odin fine.
After a firmware update failure the phone says:
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [tz]Fused 2 > Binary 1
Any clue on where to go or what to do?
See attached Odin screenshot.
I re partitioned with the PIT file and it took.

Note 4 Softbrick, Odin fail, Newest firmware. Help?

Couple of nights ago my Note 4 (American T-Mobile SM-N910T) started boot looping. I've rooted, flashed recovery and all that jazz so I did what I assumed was the fix. I tried to reflash the stock rom and reset the entire system.
Boot to recovery
Cache wipe
Factory Reset
Didn't work......
Load up Odin
Flash N910TUVU2EQI2 (which I believe is the latest Note 4 firmware as of 2017?)
Odin fails like step one.
"SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1
[1]eMMC Write Fail: ABOOT
Now I'm not completely uneducated on this. It sounds like it's saying the boot loader is a higher version than the firmware? I don't see how... Am I getting something wrong here?
I've always done OTA updates when they became available.
EDIT: JK turns out I'm just an idiot and was using a 4 year old version of Odin.... works fine now.
