Help! NO OS Installed problem in Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (SM-G530H) - Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone! I've been looking for a way to fix this and have been to a LOT of other Forums about this, but I didn't find anything relating to my problem. I hope you guys could help me
I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (SM-G530H) running on Lollipop 5.0.2
And a TWRP custom recovery and had it rooted for a bunch of things, but nothing really fancy.
Let me tell you what happened...
Three days ago I was looking through my phone's settings and saw an ENCRYPTION function that I could use to protect my phone.
It somehow looked promising for some reason and it said it would take an hour or more to finish the encryption. So I tried it.
Then hours had past until it took the whole day, I assumed that it might have froze so it made me worry a lot. So I Removed The Battery just to stop it and tried to boot and this message appeared, "ENCRYPTION FAILED" and told me to wipe my data and I did. (I'm actually past this message because I wiped the Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, Data, and Internal Storage [Not External Storage]. That's where the "NO OS Installed showed up". So I tried to do some firmware flashing.)
The next problem was I can't seem to Flash my Stock Rom using Odin neither TWRP, both of them keeps giving me big "FAIL!" messages that I can't figure out what wrong things I did.
Here's what my phone is saying

Here's what Odin keeps saying
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B47QYMfr69HwRklnU3VpTFFVVU0
I don't have a lot of tools and methods at hand to try right now, but I do have Odin v3.10, TWRP 2.8.7, and my Download Mode is still working and some stock roms I saved as backup.
I would appreciate any help given in an easy to understand way. Thanks
(EDIT) Hi guys! Gladly my phone is fixed by that technician so no need to see this thread haha

Hello,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
"FAIL (AUTH)" in your Odin means that the downloaded firmware is not compatible with your device.Try to flash the firmware of your region.

Hi v7! Thanks, but your suggestion didn't work. My phone's region is XSE (Indonesia) and my firmware backup doesn't seem to work at all. I still get the same "FAIL (Auth)" message after trying a lot of times

Yes, I did but it didn't work. I'm not sure what I did wrong, that firmware's version was 4.4 (KitKat). But I upgraded to 5.0.2 (Lollipop) which was from Uzbekistan before I tried the encryption function

And I'm sort of freaking out since this is the only phone I have and it's been a week since I had this problem

And I might bring my phone to a technician tomorrow. Is there something I haven't tried to fix my phone within my powers? Any suggestions would be helpful enough. Thanks guys!:good:

sama gan gimana ya fix nya?

Massive problems with new cyanogenmod 10.2

Hey guys just looking for any help if at all possible.
My install has been anything but smooth. I had many issues actually getting cyanogenmod on to the phone in the first place ( seems the help out there doesn't really cover the international i9505 very well, where it does you often just hit a brick wall)
In anycase i finally got it onto the phone and was looking for an explanation as to why the phone is not detecting my carrier. I mean its just not detecting it at all. I have made some strange findings when looking through the phone. It doesn't know what baseband i'm on for example.
Now for the real problem. After all the hassle of getting CM onto the phone i decided to reboot it to see if that would pick up my carrier. Now the phone takes AGES (2-5 mins) to boot up, some times it hangs. The phone functions fine when it boots.
I used CWM recovery to install CM because TWRP just would not work, infact CWM recovery was a pain in the arse too, the only way i could get it to boot into recovery mode was to download the rom manager app and use its widget to boot into recovery because manually trying it just resulted in multiple hangs.
This is the first time i have rooted/flashed an android device so i may be making some rookie errors here but this is bordering on stupid now.

Look no further, because the full wipe is the fix, like it or not.
My newbness is screwing me here i know it. The phone is fresh from the o2 shop so i dont have anything to lose, how do i do a full wipe?
I have had some progress on my own. I downloaded a new .tar stock firmware from sammobile, the BTU version. This time odin flashed it no problem what-so-ever. So if anyone reading this gets the same problem mine was with the o2uk firmware on sammobile.
I have a new problem though, the phone just doesnt get past the samsung logo at boot. it doesnt freeze as i can see the blue glow round the samsung logo pulse but it just never boots. left it for ah hour after first flashing and nothing. I removed battery etc etc but wont get past this point. Is this full wipe easy to do?

Boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset. It'll cure your problem. The first boot can take a long time, 5 minutes, so let it do it's thing

Thanks guys im back into my phone and its all working normal again!
Did i do something wrong by rooting then installing cyanogen mod the way i did? i mean it worked i just didnt have my phone network. kept saying insert SIM. was i supposed to unlock the carrier or something? i though cyanogen did all that.
Still looking for that last bit of advice people. Is there something i should have done before rooting/flashing to unlock my phone from o2uk or was i correct in thinking CM10.2 unlocked the phone also? if i was incorrect is there any help i can be given with respects to this? Thanks again.

[Q] Stuck while "fixing" my SGH-I337

Hello everyone,
I'm a new poster here at XDA , and I've gotten myself into a bit of a predicament. If there are any rules that I happened to skim over that are broken, please let me know! I have performed a search of my issue, but no solution has been procured from what I can tell.
For three days now, I've been trying to fix my phone. Stats below:
Model: SGH-I337 (AT&T Galaxy S4)
Build Number: JSS15J.I337UCUEMK2
OS: 4.3 (JB)
I believe that's all that needs to be listed, I'll be able to provide more information upon request if necessary.
I'll try to shorten my story to the key elements: Less than a week ago I tried to root, unlock, and flash a custom ROM to my S4 to no avail. I completed the rooting successfully and I believe I may have bypassed unlocking it via LOKI, but the ROM did not install. Since that failed, I've been trying for three days to completely restore my phone to stock and just deal with Samsung's TouchWiz UI. I can flash (through ODIN) my phone to stock 4.3 and everything is fine except for a lack of WiFi and Data. This is where my conundrum comes in to play.
Knox seems to display a message stating "The device has detected an application attempting to perform actions that are not permitted. These actions have been blocked. It is recommended that you restart your device." anytime that I attempt to turn WiFi on. The widget and the setting in options will attempt to turn on for a split second and turn off prior to displaying this security message. It's as if Knox believes my WiFi is attempting to access parts of my phone that are restricted. My data is able to be turned on in the settings, but no 3g/4g is ever utilized. I figured an update off of 4.3 would help remedy this issue, but I can't seem to update my phone through any other means (ODIN, Kies, no OTA due to no WiFi/Data, etc.).
I've run out of different combinations of the keywords about my problem to search for in Google and any question about my problem was asked approximately April-October 2013, not answered, and not many more similar questions have risen since then.. which leads me to believe that this fix should be relatively easy.
On an S3 forum thread (I know, different device) I read that there could be corruption of my Nandroid system, but I'm not even sure what that entails. The user answering implied that the phone was done for. Again, though, this was a separate thread for another user about a Galaxy S3.
Well, apologies for the wall of text, folks. If you are willing to assist me, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you very much for reading my issue and I hope assistance can be organized.

I used ODIN to flash (What I'm very confident is) 4.3 Stock in the same manner I flashed the custom ROM.
I feel like that isn't specific enough for you though. I used Odin3 v3.09 first and then after several failures switched to Odin3 v1.85 as demonstrated in a few tutorials I've seen.

that the "NAND Write Start" step isn't really even trying to write before it fails.
Kies "Emergency Firmware Recovery" also yields no success due to "Firmware emergency recovery stopped due to GALAXY S4(SGH-I337) error. If the problem persists, please contact the Samsung service centre.", which does persist each time I attempt to do so.
If you have any more suggestions, I'd be more than happy to attempt them.
Thank you.

Loki is for MF3 not for MK2. So you should just Odin back to stock. Here are the tar files.

If that didn't work, then follow ted77USA's guide.
Once you are back on Stock MK2 firmware, here are your options. Have a good read of this guide.

Apologies for the length, but again I wanted to be as thorough as possible. My WiFi still won't turn on due to permissions issues and Data is on, but no 3g/4g/LTE comes through.
Surely I'm just missing an essential step or two.
Can you offer any further advice on this matter?
Odin can be finicky, try different usb ports, 2.0 not 3.0, and make sure you're using the cable that came with your device. I don't see that your doing anything wrong, keep trying.
Sent from my Nexus 5
The bootloader on MK2 and later is encrypted and without the key it will always fail. ODIN sees the ABOOT is locked and cannot flash the complete image. AT&T and Verizon have chosen this method to keep you off their cheaper competitors. I had to take my I337 to Best Buy Samsung experience to have it re flashed so that it would boot after a refused OTA from MDL and now it is a paperweight.

I don't think Odin is the issue as it flashes what I like to call "The cure-firmware" .md5 AP_I337UCUEMK2_1921628_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5) file just fine every time with no issues with Odin. Only when I try to flash that file, it works. I wish there was a way to tell what exactly is going wrong with the other files. I also can't seem to find where I located this file, but whatever it's doing works on my S4. I'd like to find either a 4.2.2 or 4.4.2 version of this stock OS that would work.
I'm beginning to wonder if it'd be more worthwhile to reroot, reset the flag binary counter, reset, and drive an hour and a half away to the closest AT&T store and see if they can fix my device. Does this sound like it may be my best course of action?
Again, thanks for all the help guys. I means a lot.
There is no way to downgrade to 4.2.2 from MK2. The bootloader is locked. Read the guide for MK2 it will help you.

Hey guys,
Solution confirmed!
I remedied the situation by flashing an NB1 firmware on the device. I'm aware that this firmware has a locked bootloader, but Loki is evidently a solution to that problem. I'll cross that bridge eventually when I cross it.
You guys are terrific and I really appreciate all the assistance that you've offered.
Take care.

Loki does not work with MF3 and up
Congrats!

Hey guys,
Solution confirmed!
I remedied the situation by flashing an NB1 firmware on the device. I'm aware that this firmware has a locked bootloader, but Loki is evidently a solution to that problem. I'll cross that bridge eventually when I cross it.

Don't flash Loki to your phone, as it's only for MF3 not MK2 or above. You need to read the guide, which obviously you still haven't or you wouldn't be talking about flashing Loki on the new 4.4.2 Kit Kat firmware. Reading saves phones!

John The Rhino,
Thank you for the advice. I posted in a hurry earlier out of excitement and stated the incorrect method as you've pointed out. I'll be sure to be extremely thorough in the future when I decide to flash new software to my device. You've been a tremendous help and it is greatly appreciated.
Take care until my next issue. Haha.

You're welcome. I'm glad it all worked out for you. As they say in the construction business, measure twice, cut once. Well same here, except I'd recommend as do others to read thrice (3x) FLASH once. Then you'll rarely have issues. Enjoy.
i337 same issue as original post
i have done the same research as posted in this link and read exhaustively every means google XDA and all the other pages dealing with rooting and flashing my AT&T s4 i337. I have ended up in the same boat as this guy with:
Baseband version - I337UCUFNB1
Build Number - JSS15J.I337UCUEMK2
i have attempted Kingo Loki, Motochopper, Odin(4 or 5 versions) adb flash in Linux(2 builds) and Winblows 7. My original desire was to have this build
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJLKX_QWSpc
which got my hopes up immensely, as having wasted days upon days several times over the course of the last 9 months rooting this i337. The guy in the vid says he was able to get UT up and running following guidance from XDA. I want to be able to flash a twrp-like dual boot recovery to my device maintaining Andy functionality using UT as a daily driver.
I have read, as reading saves phones, everything I can glean from the aforementioned posts and forms, researched this thing to death and neded up with a phone with the knox-? security message listed in the original post. I have no Idea where to go from here, but know you guys do, as like a myriad of others, I worship this site like a god.
Please help an old retired disabled veteran of most of the sandy wars in the past 25 years. All I have now are my devices which bring me some comfort to my days.
I really need your help, as I've tried seemingly all and have a semi-dead i337.

Stuck on recovery mode after NCG Kernel flash on S5 SM-G900V

I have been literally sitting in front of my PC for hours on end to try and resolve this issue. I cant get back my current firmware now even. Just stuck on the recovery mode. I flashed NCG kernal and it went through as normal, however, all it does not is after the samsung loading sign it goes back into system recovery. I have tried everything from cache wipe to factory reset, system reboot, everything! it just does the same thing - goes back into recovery mode- it is getting really frustrating for me. I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me exactly how to get out of it and use the phone as normal again.
I am on sm-g900v
G900VVRU2BOG5

I have tried to flash almost all the available ROMS and nothing works everytime this come up: ( i am using the latest Kies drivers, Odin 3.10.6, etc)..

PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU
You are on the latest OTA of BOG5. The bootloader is completely locked down and you cannot root, downgrade, or flash anything. You are stuck with the phone as is. You will have to find the BOG5 full stock firmware .tar file and flash that through ODIN to get your phone back.
Damn!!!!
do you know any links from where i can download the BOG5 firmware from?
I am having the exact same issue. Any help is appreciated!
I am also stuck with the same issue on my S5. I attempted to flash the NCG Kernel from Android 5.0 using the file referenced in here: androidbiits.com/root-verizon-samsung-galaxy-s5-sm-g900v-android-4-4-4-kitkat/ (sorry I can't post links yet). Now my phone can't leave recovery mode. Did you guys figure out where to get the BOG firmware or how to fix this issue?
You need to reinstall the BOG5 firmware on the S5 again. You can download it via sammobile.com You can pay £5.40 approx if your from UK and download the firmware quicker within an hour otherwise be prepared to wait 11 hours minimum for download to complete.
So I managed to get mine back working by using the VZW-G900VVRU2BOG5-20150813111348.zip firmware downloaded from Sammobile.com and flashing using Odin3.
Used the first firmware on Sammobile firmware page for model SM-G900V
Unzipped the file and flashed the .md5
Back up and running.
Hope this helps someone.

Seriously, do none of you have even the basic, simple ability to look through these forums at all? The answer to your question is right here in the Verizon Galaxy S5 General forum:

You simply scroll down to the fourth thread and see that it is this one:

Hey man, I am new here. I was freaking out the other night because everything I was trying was failing. I understand with a little more patience and effort I could have found this. Then again with a little more research before attempting to root I probably would have avoided the whole issue. I messed up, my bad.

Understood. It just gets very old and frustrating answering the same questions over and over again, and questions for which the answer is already readily available. Glad you got it straightened out, and that you realized more research before embarking on your adventure would have helped. When it comes to messing around with an expensive piece of hardware like these smart phones, it's best to think of the carpentry line - measure twice, cut once. Read, read, read, and make sure you know what you are doing before you do it when it comes to rooting and modding your phone.
Thanks a million! I thought my phone is toasted.

I'm sorry mate but I aint got s clue as to what you can do. The only thing I can think of is to try a different firmware. What are trying to install ? 6.1 or 5.1.1 ?
I would try going up or down depending on what your running.
Is there no way that you can contact Google and ask for your ID ?
Can you access the files on your phone via a PC ?
I would have thought that when you flashed via Odin that it would just overwrite what ever was on the phone before ?
Have you tried to root it before TWRP ?
I'm sure that it will get sorted people are good in here
But it's
All very strange

Hey thanks fro quick response.
I am trying to install 5.1.1
I gonna go for 6.1 now. Its getting downloaded .. download sucks though from sammobile. Download is very slow.
No way to contact google and the one who used this phone before.

Hi, I have j510fn and I was a rom tester,
I have a problem since I flashed
J510FNXXU2APK6_J510FNODD2APK2_J510FNXXU2APK2_HOME.tar.md5
to test light stock rom v3 from Kingraheel
what happens is that NOW I can't flash any other firmware by odin... when I click START it says FAIL and in my device there is this text in red
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1
I just want to flash my OFFICIAL firmware
J510FNXXU1APG1_J510FNPHE1APG1_J510FNXWU1APFC_HOME.tar.md5
but I can't... only APK6 firmware works on odin... any other firmware works.... can you help me?
I don't have any NANDROID backup of previous versions... only of my actual firmware... APK6
My computer does not detect my device... I have the drivers installed, and I tried on all the USB ports... it charges but not open files.... PLEASE HELP
---------------------------------------
SOLVED, SAME PROBLEM? CONTACT ME
Here is HOW I SOLVED IT:
This error happens when you before have updated from "U1" to "U2" and then you try to flash a firmware with "U1" (UX appears in the firmware "name")
So, the simple solution is to flash the stock firmware with the same "UX" that you had before your device gor bricked.
In my case, testing KingRaheel's ROMS I flashed an Indian firmware (...U2APK6...) at this moment I didn't know I ****ed up. But don't worry, I simply had updated the "U" and how I didn't know it, I tried to flash lots and lots of firmwares with "U1" without knowing what was happening. After long nights, I tried to flash my last firmware from SPAIN (PHE) with "U2" and it worked.
I hope I helped you. I used SM-J510FN (J5 2016)
If you have another device, try the same but with your current model, any questions, ask by twitter/dm
Sent from my SM-J510FN using XDA Labs

Hello, many times i was trying to flash stock firmware from my country but i couldnt because i was getting stuck on sboot.bin.lz4 , well if you get stuck there too the solution is to flash the firmware from another version of odin. A little search on google didnt hurt me tho , so just get the version of the link bellow and Voila .. ! if you have any other problem i might can help you, post down your comments

Thanks, this solved my issue
My question is that I'm afraid of having trouble updating with odin. I did some time ago an odin update on a 3 note and it failed. A triangle appeared on the screen and had to be brought in for technical assistance. I have all the files downloaded here for the s8, with the latest odin, but I do not know if I upgrade or not, or if I expect the OTA .... On my S8 is with ((XX1CRAP) no problems, but the pack security is February 1. And by Sammobiles 2 new updates have come out.I'm in doubt.

I did the same, but I used the CSC instead of Home_CSC and my device was wiped clean. However, I had backed up my entire device and just did a restore after boot-up. I think the problem is from using incompatible software upgrades from different regions.

When I had this problem, it was with note 3, and I had to take technical assistance to get back to normal, but if I remember correctly I used a rom from another location. So my fear is to make a mistake with my s8, but all I downloaded to upgrade the S8 was from the same location I'm using today.
---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------
I do not know it's worth upgrading the S8 to the most current software, the safe pack is from February 1, 2018. According to Sammobiles already software of month 5 for my device from my region.

Some more info other than ' it didn't work ' would be helpful in trying to solve your issues.
Failng at sboot.bin can mean a few things.
So info like maybe a screenshot of odin,any other errors in odin, current firmware on phone, firmware trying to flash etc would helpful.
Thanks a lot! This solved my issue! A little, but big, detail lol

You cannot downgrade firmware due to bootloader version numbers hence errors ie: Oreo to nougat
