[Q] Flashing stock Android

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I'm kind of a noob at this forum stuff and I'm posting here because I need serious help.
So now you'll probably cringe and maybe even get mad at how much of an idiot I am after reading this but here goes:
Last week I rooted my phone and flashed the leaked 4.3 update for the S4. Nothing went wrong so I got curious. I'd heard of cyanogenmod before so I decided I'd try that. That worked too. Now the problem is that I'm not really liking CM so I decided to unroot/flash the stock rom. This is where it gets bad: The tutorial I used for the rooting didn't tell me to back anything up. So I don't have any backups of my own stock rom.
I did some digging and found multiple pages with stock rom links but none of them are of my country. I've tried flashing the 4.3 again but Odin always says "FAIL!" What the hell do I do?

Don't worry about it not being from your country. You can change the CSC to your country's later but first get your phone working.

What do you mean? I can just download a random country's firmware? In another thread it said to not do that. I followed this tutorial and download the HOME.tar file the guy uploaded but I got FAIL almost instantly on Odin.

Go to Sammobile, download the latest stock firmware for your country and flash using Odin.

If you are worried about the different firmwares, then you can get your country's firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9505&pcode=0#firmware.
Please note that these are the latest firmwares and likely to have the latest bootloader and hence the Knox problem. So it's upto you.

My country's firmware isn't there...

That's why I mentioned that download a firmware from the earlier link, then change the CSC to your country's. First check what's your country's three letter code and find the CSC for it.

Help changing from custom rom to legit update (Samsung S5)

Okay so to keep it brief, I am on alliance rom v5.3, running kitkat 4.4.2 on my Samsung S5, recently Lollipop has come out and I would like to update.
this was my first custom romming so needless to say I'm kinda scared, I am pretty sure I can find out how to flash to another custom rom but how would I go about getting to the default so that I can accept normal update? or is there a custom rom that is usually kept updated? (I am a sucker for having the latest version of things)
Also is there anything I should know about going from one custom rom that is rooted to another? or is it exactly like going from stock to custom?

just look for stock lollipop rom for your phone ( sammobile)/and flash with odin, just make sure to do a full wipe before flashing the stock rom

Thanks for the quick reply, will this allow me to get future updates? like hotfixes released and stuff? I saw somewhere that once you flash it does something to the kernal which makes updates possibly brick the phone.

Just factory reset the custom, then use ODIN to flash the Stock ROM
Flashing the stock ROM will allow OTA updates so long as you don't root or flash anything else custom like recovery - it needs to stay 100% stock for OTA
But you can still root, and each time an OTA arrives, grab the new ROM from sammobile dot com and use ODIN to flash it, that will update your phone, leaving everything in tact, all your data and images etc will be fine, only thing you'll need to do after updating is root the phone again

Thank you both, I have found my phone model on sammobile but the list of firmwares there is no Australian firmwares(Im Australian) or even any US firmares, the only primarily english firmware that I can see on the list is for the united kingdom? are those what I use or am I missing something? Sorry if I should know this =\
Edit: it shows that I have the G900F under Model number in the settings.

Try a UK firmware, the latest version BOE5 is in my sig link on MEGA, much faster than Sammobile
There is also samsung-updates dot com you can check out

At this stage I have factory reset it(it automatically booted after so I turned off) and I downloaded your G900FXXU1BOE5_G900FOXA1BOE5_G900FXXU1BOE5 file and put that in the AP section of odin.

Are you sure you had the phone in Download Mode?
Volume DOWN & HOME & POWER (Then volume up when asked)
And yes, disable Reactivation lock before flashing anything or you'll end up with major problems requiring a massive mess on to fix
Using ODIN 3.10.6 ?

think you need pitfiles with the rom

Yea it was in download mode and I have never heard of this reactivation thing :S the instructions I read had nothing like that in there, any other settings I should change? luckily it booted fine so ill look into changing that.
Edit: Using Odin 3.09 Also I checked and reactivation was disabled.

Here's the latest ODIN
https://mega.co.nz/#!Exo3yADS!y7pFS5-9RVhp4vDxTRAQARAwkjyQAB_9mDZWfXkLqko

There is no pit section inside of Odin 3.10?

There is on the lower left log / options / PIT section, although clicking that says to load it into the CSC section
Try using the PIT file with your 3.09 version of ODIN first as Im not sure where 3.10.6 wants the PIT file loaded into, it's not very clear

Okay in 3.09 there is a pit up the top where I can put it but but there is also a csc? which one am I supposed to put it in?

I'm just reading up on what 3.10.6 means with that engineer warning
Make sure you load the stock ROM into AP together with the PIT file in the PIT section before flashing

I tried using the rom in the AP and the pit inside the PIT but now its saying secure check fail : pit =\
attempted with odin 3.09

Are you running ODIN as Admin? (Right click > Run as Administrator)
Using a native PC running Windows? All Samsung drivers installed?
It almost sounds as if your bootloader is locked, but you managed to flash custom recovery and root right?

Yea I do have custom recovery and a custom rom and had rooted it. although inside the about device section it said I was using G900F I noticed the download mode said G900I so I searched for my old box and on the box it says it is a G900I so I assume the rom I used modified the model number, could this be screwing with anything?

Looks like you need to grab the G900I ROM and PIT
I'd try with just the ROM first, hopefully ODIN saved you from bricking when it realised it was for the wrong model phone
Get the G900I ROM, stick it into ODIN like you originally tried, see how you go from there
EDIT - Now it makes sense why there was no Australian ROM for your G900F, there is for the G900I

Okay, good news is sam mobile had the correct firmware now that im using the correct model number(doh) and the phone still boots fine, will update when I have downloaded and tried it, thanks for sticking with me.

Nand erase all + pit + g935f fw on G935W8

Hello guys I would like to flash the g935f modem over my g935w8 canadian phone. But in order to do things right, I'm thinking about using g935f pit file and use nand erase all in odin in order to clean the whole phone, hoping that the EFS will regenerate correctly and it can transform into an international version with bootloader and modem from G935f.
Ps: I don't live in canada, that's my reason.
Do you think it's possible ?
Somebody knows some technicalities I am not aware of ?
Please help me not blow my new phone !

you will need to reflash the bootloader and modem for G935W8, otherwise some features will not work properly with fingerprints and calling features.

How come ? Care to explain more about the calling feature. ?
Cauz the whole thing is to replace the modem with 935f one

if you are using the phone outside of Canada, you can basically use any modem but you need to experiement to find the one that that works best for your country.
If you are inside of Canada, the 935W8 bootloader and modem are optimized for use by the big 3 in Canada. Which means that you should get the best signal of their servers.

I think that G935F roms work on G935W8 models, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/samsung-sm-g935f-sm-g935w8-rom-t3414612
I will maybe try on my G935W8

G935f roms work fine. I am actually using one right now. It's the modem and bootloader the are uncertain. I am afraid my EFS gets corrupted

You lost your imei??

I finally tried, but Secure Download in download mode didn't let me flash anything from g935f. so no possibility to flash g935f stuff via odin beceause of knox !!!

Never touch Nand Erease All. That's the last thing I would ever touch. (The worst case: dead phone or lost IMEI)
You can use any G935F rom since those two models are identical and other users have verified that everything works well.
And now.. why do You want to somehow reprogram Your phone from G935w8 to G935F? It's just the name + when You flash G935F rom, Your build.prop will be changed to G935F. And if You have poor signal (never happened to me while using weird/random modems) then flash a modem from the country that You live in.
Pit file I think doesn't really change the name either, it should just fix partitions.
You could eventually try flashing G935F stock rom from sammobile with a G935F pit file and see if that changes anything, but avoid touching nand erease all.

I am only interested in the modem my friend nothing else.
I tried again no way. Beceause modems from other countries are from g935f. Knox detects that and stop the process in odin. And gives me a warning in download mode.
Literraly nothing from g935f can be flashed through odin.
So I am stuck with the canadian modem. No luck. The difference in reception power is big between the 2. My wife has an international s7, so I compare all the time. It's really problematic

It's really weird that You can't flash it. I used to flash many different files through odin(from totally different phones) and it never gave me any error. Can You extract modem.img from the tar file and repack it into a new tar? Secure download error is even weirder. Have You tried flashing a whole G935F stock rom from sammobile? Those include modems too and maybe it would help. For any compatibility issues I would repack the tar file. It helped me many times.
If nothing above works then I have no idea. Sorry.

Yes I did. I even did Nand erase all. Beceause despite people think it's prohibited. It is not beceause EFS partition regenerate it self. As long as you have the right pit file.
I restored my system everything fine.
Please try and see if you can fined a solution to that issue. Thank you

When flashing any firmware in Odin do NOT checkmark the PIT option.
Make sure that the PIT option in Odin is NOT checked before flashing!

Since this is not working, is it possible to flash directly to a nougat rom if I'm on MM + rooted with TWRP?

Yes, if you are rooted and have twrp both sucessfully installed
simply go to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development
There you will find many Nougat 7 custom roms.
I would suggest not to flash any of the unofficial
nougat 7 roms though, they are not complete and
have many bugs and other issues.
There are about 3-4 really good Nougat 7 roms in the above link
to choose from.
You won't need Odin to flash any of the custom roms and it's a lot
easier to flash. All the zip file custom roms are flashed via twrp.
Good luck, have a great day!

Stuck on AT&T Unreleased beta nougat update from earlier this year

Hi, so i'd like to upgrade my AT&T GS7 G930A to the latest available version of android that's released, as i'm still on the nougat beta update from earlier this year that wasn't officially released(meaning i'm still only at security update's from january 2017), however, none of the odin files i've tried have worked (links will be below) it keeps getting stuck at "Initializing" and on my phone it keeps saying "Odin Protocol version error", so i was hoping you guys would be able to help me

You need to go completely back to stock in order to get back on nougat latest I suggest that you flash back to the pk1 marshmallow 6.0 and use the odin provided by Sam mobile

You need to go completely back to stock in order to get back on nougat latest I suggest that you flash back to the pk1 marshmallow 6.0 and use the odin provided by Sam mobile

how would i go about finding these files? as you can see by one of the links in my post, i already tried the PK1 firmware from here

From what I learned it always ends up being an Odin problem not going back just try different versions of Odin make sure your restart your phone when putting it in download mode

Try just flashing the CSC file with that Odin version. It contains the .pit file to format your partitions. If that works you should then be able to flash all 4 files.

Try the reverse for kicks and giggles meaning try all other files except CSC.

so do you have any links to both the PK1 files and odin that you know work? because i still have this problem, and everything i've tried just keeps giving me the same errors, either that odin protocol mismatch, or the model dismatch failure (and you also said try sammobile odin? i can't find it, and their website seems to insist that the G930A doesn't exist)

Sorry for bumping, but I'd really like to fix this
