It's really easy mate, you're just nervous. This is what I did last week and it worked although you do this at your own risk.
First thing - download the EE EVR ROM from Sam Mobile HERE It takes ages on the free download - best to leave it overnight.
Download and install odin from HERE
Unzip the file you downloaded from Sam Mobile into 5 files. They will each start with BL, AP, CP, CSC, HOME_CSC.
Ignore Home_CSC and load each of the other files into the boxes in Odin marked BL AP CP and CSC.
Don't make any other changes in Odin.
Make a backup of any files you need to keep on your phone because this WILL factory reset your phone.
Put your phone into download mode. From turned off, press and hold vol down, home button and power on until it boots into a blue screen with a Warning sign (don't let go of the buttons until your get the blue screen). Then press vol up as it says on screen to enter download mode. Your phone will say Downloading.....
Plug it into your PC using a standard USB cable.
Wait for Odin to say Added!!! in the log screen on the left.
Then press start in Odin.
When you get a success message reboot the phone and go through the setup as normal. You'll find WIFI calling under Applications/Phone if it worked.
Good Luck.

pretty much what I do. when you wanna sell your phone, Download the BTU firmware for your phone flash it via ODIN and it will be unbranded and such remember to do a factor reset after flashing, so CEX will buy it as unlocked. :good:

Hi guys,
I just bought my S4 i9500 and I think that came already as a brick. First time that I turned on the phone, loads in "Factory Mode". All functions were disabled and I can't use it at all. I tried removing the battery, turn on, turn off, with the sim card, without the sim card. Always starts in "Factory Mode".
Then I decided to make a Hardware reset, but when I press (Vol Up, Home, Power) appears "Power reset or Unknown Upload Mode" instead of Recovery Stock. (Attached a photo)

}
Then I thought, "Ok, I will flash with Odin the Firmware Stock of my carrier".
After that, the Factory Mode disappeared, but during the Setup Wizard, appears a pop up with "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped." and I can't never finish the wizard.
For my surprise, when I tried to make a Hardware reset, the recovery mode is still failing. Instead of that, appears "Power reset or Unknown Upload Mode".
I don't want to touch so much, because I'll go back the phone to my carrier trying to get a new one, but they don't have stock right now.
Any clue? I'll really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
Looks like your phone came with a bad firmware install.
You may should replace it.
Did you not turn it on at the store ?

They sent the phone via post. I flashed the branded firmware, but it's not fixed.

Contact your suppliers.
Dont tell them you flashed anything.
This is obviously a phone that needs to be changed. Let the sellers figure out how to fix it.

My i9500 has this problem too. When I first open the phone from box it was in Safe Mode. Then I restart and it's normal. But everytjme I try to put my phone into recovery mode (Power + Home + Up Volume) I get this screen first, I press the combo again and it goes into recovery. I rooted the phone and install Omega Tom, everything works just fine.
just re install the firmware, it happend to me with a sony x10a, i just plug the phone and choose re install firm, but maybe you should use odin

i did it all and i have no re-partition file ??
i think you downloaded the wrong file, you want g935f not g930f
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935F/EVR/
gaz's link took you straight to the correct file, so don't know how you ended up with g930 file
well seen
im getting a 502 bad gateway on sammobile download at moment? but when you get the right file, just follow the procedure again and all should be sweet
page refreshed
Hi all
I've just received my Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) with firmware version:
G930FXXU1APGJ
Which, as far as I know, is a taiwanese firmware. This would make sense, because I'm in Madrid (Spain) but I bought the S7 via eBay from a seller in Hong Kong.
My phone works well when connected to a WiFi network, but its behaviour is strange when I connect to my voice/data plan (Movistar). Although I can use the browser, things like Gmail, Google Play and WhatsApp work in a strange way: I can't send videos or pictures, Google Play doesn't even connect to the account (the screen goes blank) and Gmail doesn't send emails.
I've discovered this firmware might be the problem with my phone, and I probably should use the Spanish firmware. After reading the forums I've search in SamMobile and I'm downloading this one:
G930FXXU1BPKD
Which seems to be the right one for Spain (Movistar) (there's also a little code, 'XEC', but I don't know what that means).
I'd like to know if I'm right. If so, the instructions to install the firmware are as follow according to that page:
***
Flashing guide:
1. Download and extract a zip file containing your desired firmware.
2. Open Odin Tool.
3. Boot your device in the "Download Mode":
Press Volume Down, Power and Home buttons at same time for 5-8 seconds until download mode is active.
4. Connect your device to PC via the USB cable while in download mode.
5. Next, check the "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" options in Odin Tool.
6. Hit the AP/PDA button then browse and select a tar.md5 file from the extracted folder.
7. Finally press the start button to begin flashing the firmware update on your device.
********
But I wonder if someone could confirm if this is OK. I'm not sure if my S7 has to be rooted first to do this. I have not rooted it yet, but I've seen it's possible to do it (quite easily, i think?).
Thanks!
That's it you've nailed it.

I'd flash the PHE version instead of the XEC
PHE is for Spain and not connected to any company
For Spanish info you could also have a look at

Good to know, thanks! Downloading that one right now from this thread at HTCMania
Oh my god. After starting the process in Odin it has stopped in 1 second (succeed: 0 / Failed: 1) and the S7 screen shows the little white progress bar just started and the message "Do not turn off target".
I have quitted Odin, but I have not done anything to the Galaxy S7. It's still connected and showing that info. What should I do?
Could I have bricked the phone!?!? :/
Fortunately everythings ok... except I've been unable to update the firmware. After that first try, I have observed that there is something that I'm doing wrong.
1. I put the S7 in download mode
2. I launch Odin and connect the S7, it says "Added" and the blue button with "O:[COM3]" appears in Odin's window.
3. I add BL, AP, CP, and CSC from the uncompressed firmware I've downloaded twice (I've found them also at Updato, fast download)
4. I see that the only options checked are "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time". The "Re-Partition" option IS NOT CHECKED.
5. I push Start and it fails inmediately: it says re-partition has failed. How is that possible it that option was unchecked?

I've also factory reset the phone, enabled USB Debugging and OEM options under Developer Options, then accessed Recovery Mode, wiped data/factory reset and wiped cache, and then I have gone to Download Mode to try again. Nothing.
What can I do to update my S7 and install the Spanish firmware if everytime the re-partition error makes it impossible?
Use the csc file instead of home_csc provided in the firmware file

I'm using the CSC file always, I don't touch the home_csc...
What would happen if I enable the re-partition option?
Have you solved the problem? I have exactly the same chase; galaxy s7 Hong Kong (ofertitas jejeje), error when send images on whatsapp...
hey guys i recently had an update on my s10+ and mid through the update the phone just powered off(it was plugged to the charger) and since then ive been stuck on a blue screen saying i have to use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc app so i downloaded the app and tried to do that but the app wont recognize my phone. i searched all over the internet i tried flashing with odin a previous version and even the version it was trying to update to but it all failed. it gets stuck around 50% through the install and just sits there for hours without continuing. i am hopeless and have no idea what else i can do i even took the phone to a repair shop and they also failed to fix this problem. my last resort would be changing motherboard but i doubt its worth it. anyone has ideas what else i can do in order to fix this issue?

Not sure if you've tried this but maybe it will work...
1) Hold bixby, volume down and while holding these, put the usb-c cable in the s10 when connected to the PC. This will (hopefully) get you into download mode if the other method fails
2)If Odin is still recognizing your phone, you have hope.
3)Make sure you use the latest version of Odin. I have previously tried to flash a new firmware with an old Odin and failed
4)Once you have the right Odin, try flash the latest stock firmware you can find. You may not be able to downgrade once upgraded
I have a sm-a205u that powers on to a screen that says, "Software Update Failed-Your device didnt update successfully Use the verizon software repair assistant on a computer to repair your device and complete the update."
And when i put it in download mode it shows CCIC = S2MU106
CARRIER_ID: TMK
How do i know which firmware to download and flash with odin? Or what should i be doing to get this taken care of? Much appreciated anyone, please.
Software Upgrade Assistant (Samsung) - Repair Assistant | Verizon
Here's how to repair Samsung software via the Software Upgrade Assistant if an over the air update failed.
www.verizon.com
Negative. On smart switch emergency recovery thing, it says this model does not support firmware upgrades and initialization. The verizon one says, your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware.

Explain who says so. Have you communicated directly with Verizon service?
I just typed what it showed on the screen on my laptop. The verizon update assistant thing. Ive got it to bootloop and im able to get the recovery screen to come on for about a half of a split second then black for 5 sec, and repeat. In download mode it says carrier: tmk but imei checkers say its a metro pcs phone but the screen said to use the verizon assistant, but it doesnt show the verizon thing anymore, it bootloops the samsumg a20 splash. I have no idea which firmware to try throwing at it, they all fail on odin. Sometimes odin will stay stuck on set partition and then nothing happens.
It can go into download mode, and bootloop the samsung a20 splash. I can sometimes get it to bootloop this screen, but its literally half of a split second then black for 5 seconds, bootloops for a few minutes then off.

First of all, how can i find out what firmware is on the phone? Recovery doesnt load, bootloops the samsung logo, download mode doesnt show much info in the top left corner, but does show carrier: TMK
I just know the model is a205u.

Did you buy the phone from official distribution?
If not, you can have your phone refurbished.
I bought it from a guy that didnt want it because it doesnt boot to homescreen. He wanted $20 for it so i bought it. I seen it does power on so i figured itd be easy frp or odin, but nope. Cant find anyone that can help me get this phone working again.
Instead of refurbishing it, id rather just paypal someone to walk me thru the process of getting it working again.
