I purchased a Galaxy Edge S7 SM-G935FD Unlocked International Edition (Exynos?) from Amazon US. In an attempt to flash TWRP with Odin, I mistakenly checked re-partition. I thereafter received "an error has occurred while updating the device .... use Emergency Recovery .... in Smart Switch". When I attempt to do so (ie. reinstall stock firmware), I am asked for my Model Number and Serial Number, which I provide. The firmware download appears to complete, but the install does not complete. So here's my questions:
-Givfen my prior repartition, should the Smart Switch Emergency Recovery work, or if not what do I need to do to recover?
-Smart Switch is trying to flash "Initialized Version: : PDAB6 / CSCB4 / PHONEB6 (ACR)". Is that correct for my International Edition?
-I am very confused by the above version code versus the G935FXXU..... firmware codes for rom downloads on websites. What is the correct firmware code for my International Edition?
Thx, Gus
So you need to download the Offical Sammy Firmware for your phone and flash it all via odin
So you can Re-Partition.
Once booted up, repeat your stages avoiding the erros you made the first time./

I was trying to install an Official Stock Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 firmware, from SAMMOBILE Link for the firmware I tried to use: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=26516. So while flashing it with ODIN, I think it just randomly disconnected, but that just bricked my phone. I don't know whether it is a soft brick or a hard brick, but this is what happens to my phone, every time I turn on my phone whether it's done normally, the download mode or recovery mode method I will be stuck on that screen.
So now I typed in the error on Google to see how it can be fixed. Link to the method to fix the error: http://androidcentral.us/2013/09/how-to-fix-firmware-upgrade-encountered-an-issue-on-kies/
Firstly, my computer (running Windows 7 ULTIMATE 64-BIT) can detect my phone, saying the drivers have been installed successfully. However KIES doesn't detect mine. Anyways I still try to do this method where I have to go to Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initialization on KIES. I type in my model name: GT-I9505, that works, now I have to do my S/N or Serial Number: RF1DXXXXXXX, so when I press OK it says GT-I9505 doesn't support 'Intialising', so I am stuck have no idea what to do.
Also, while flashing I tried repartition my S4, to remove all of the stuff I had, none important, except my music which I transferred to my PC. Solved, just flashed Official firmware, it now works.
Just separately repartitioned my S4, it works but S4 is now stuck on boot loop, so have to flash a 4.4.2 Official Firmware.

Hi,
Can you get into recovery?
Can you still see your phone in odin?
If so , disable kies (task manager) and try to flash the firmware again.
Wipe data and cache before and after flashing firmware.
hey guys im sorry if i post this on the wrong section but i followed this tutorial: droidviews(dot)com/root-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge-on-android-6-0-1-marshmallow-update/ to root my s6 edge+ and it went black... after some research i found out the tutorial wasnt for my device(SM-G2928F) so i flashed it with cf-autoroot and then it boot looped for like an hour. I downloaded the original greek firmware from sammobile but it brings me up this error: SECURE CHECK FAIL : (BOOTLOADER).. any help?
UPDATE: changed the port and run Odin as admin now it says: SECURE CHECK FAIL : (RADIO) Odin log: pastebin(dot)com/4w1943HF
UPDATE: now when I exit recovery mode it doesnt start and tells me: An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.(I can still go into recovery mode)
Let me check you have flashed a firmware not for your device with odin or just a zip? First I would try flashing the most recent firmware you can find for your device with odin, some bootloaders can't be downgraded. If that doesn't work then the emergency firmware recovery will work, I've used kies emergency firmware a few times.
Hopefully someone with your device will point you in the right direction if you are stuck
I flashed a firmware not for my device but I found a solution on another XDA post thank you
Hello guys,
I need extremely technical help as no longer know what to do.
I have a*Galaxy*S7*Edge*device, which installed the*rom*Samsung Experience 9.0.
Later I*format data to exfat and it doesn't work. After then I flashed any Nougat Firmware and lost my Imei and Baseband.
Number.
I googled until I came to this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-e...ssues-t3379516
I followed all the steps explained, I back up EFS_backup and RADIO_bakcup partitions.
Installed FACTORY BINARY Firmware for G935F, everything went well. After restarted, already had the correct IMEI number but still did not present the S / N.
After all that, i tried to*install*Stock*Firmware*via Odin, from here started the problems that could not solve.
In the first attempt Odin stucked in "System" (also used the PITfile*with the same CSC ... .i do not know if I was right using PIT?). Restarted the*device*forcibly, entered the stock Recovery, did a complete wipe and always get this message "E: falied to*mountSystem*(Invalid argument), I returned to*install*Factory Binary, then reboot in Recovery and the same message no longer appeared.
Again I try to*install*the Stock*Firmware*and Odin always stucks in*System, or NAND writing, or Partition, etc. I've tried various Stock*Firmware, with and without PIT*files, always without success.
Only Factory Binary that successfully installs. The TWRP via Odin also but when*device*restarts to enter Recovery Mode always get the message at the top of the*display:
"Recovery image signature check Fail"
"Reboot to avoid Warranty bit set."
My Question also is: What do I wrong? Or is my Phone bricked?
Device:
Galaxy S7*Edge (SM-G935F) CSC = DBT = Germany
I really need help, please.
I am facing same problem with my s7 edge g935fd. But in my case i lost imei of both sim cards & lost baseband version. I tried z3x samsung tool. But i didn't found model g935fd there.
Waiting for help
I am having the same problem with an S7 (G930V). During one of the re-flashes, I was able to install the Samsung Product Info App. The CSC product code came up as blank. Not sure if this is normal for this state. Any leads would be appreciated.
Hello,
On my SM-T580 (TAB-A wifi) I flashed the last official rom with odin : PDA : T580ZCU5CSF1 / CSC : T580CHN5CSF1
2019-08-23 Release 8.1.0 T580ZCU5CSF1.
The flash went well but the tablet doesn't start anymore (black screen when switching on).
when I start in "download" mode, I get the download screen in chinese ...
However it is absolutely impossible for me to flash any other official ROM.
the flash starts and then goes to fail immediately with an error message in chinese "Bootloader locked".
the message on the tablet is: SW REV. Check fail ( bootloader) Device:5, Binary: 4.
I understand that the bootloader is now in release 5 and that all other ROMs are in 4 maximum. So it doesn't seem possible to downgrade my tablet and install an official (or unofficial) rom.
It seems to me that there is no solution as long as Samsung will not develop a functional ROM with a bootloader in release 5.
Do you have a solution for a possible downgrad or to make my tablet work ?
I also tried to flash a sm-t585 bootloader with a version 5 bootloader but without success.
Hi, did you found a solution? I did the same , and I have the same problem, the only difference is that I'm able to use my tablet, I flashed the last chinese firmware from march, its functional but with no google services.

The only way to bypass a locked bootloader/downgrade your bootloader is to buy a JTAG/Riff/Octoplus box and write the firmware you want to flash directly to the board.
Hi I have the same problem,
I was looking on Sam firmware for latest firmware and saw firmware for last month for my t580
Problem was it was Chinese, I thought just change the language during setup right? And then after I oem unlock and enable adb I can flash TWRP then root.
HOW WRONG WAS I?
The problem is the firmware for the t580 in China has bootloader locked.
Not only that, the bootloader has been updated to recent firmware and the btu (UK) and other firmwares only have a patch 6months prior.
So I am screwed unless the other countries update to a later security patch so I can pass the SW rev check and unlock bootloader again.
Just so noone else tries this as it's a PIA
#####EDIT ##### To solve this problem let the tablet boot up with the error code, connect to odin and flash the Chinese firmware again, then download and install crom service apk, goto developer options and do the usual, adb enable, oem unlock. Open the crom service app and select OK/Off whatever and reboot to download mode...
Once reboot to download mode and you will see crom service off and will be able to flash twrp, roms etc again.

Hi. Try flashing TWRP using ODIN. Once done then boot into TWRP by holding power button + home + volume up buttons. Once in TWRP recovery, connect your phone to a computer and it can transfer data between phone and computer. Take a backup of the data and then flash stock rom or anyother rom as you wish.

Thanks Dear,
Is OEM lock has any role in flashing with TWRP? Because i cant access the "Settings" in the phone to lock/unlock OEM, since the phone doesn't boot.

Try with a different usb cable and different usb port. Try using older versions of odin like v3.12 or v3.13
