Hey guys.
Just trying to get back to stock on a Samsung S7 Edge.
Had no issues with device, with root.
Went to reset as I sold it, and it failed.
Have since done the following.
1. Tried to use odin to reinstall original firmware. Fails with SECURE CHECK FAIL : (PIT) in download mode.
2. Formatted the data partition in TWRP. This worked and allowed me to boot into a reset OS.
3. Tried to wipe system partition in a hope to allow me to modify it. Worked, but now have no OS.
4. Continually tried to use odin to flash without success. Device is detected, but when flashing keep getting the SECURE CHECK FAIL message.
Out of ideas on what to try next.
Any help much appreciated.
Adding a couple of screenshots in case it helps.

P.S. I'm using Odin on Windows via Parallels on a Mac if that makes any difference.

Can you get to Download Mode? Why don't you flash everything through ODIN? That'll fix it for sure.

For anyone else with this issue, double check the firmware is correct for the device. I had downloaded the wrong firmware.
All worked fine in parallels with the correct firmware.

When you decompress the firmware you can see two file, CSC and HOME CSC, we usualy flash the HOME CSC.
Try Flashing the CSC, it works to me
please confirm to model number.
Please check the model numbers ..re for Galaxy S7 while SM-G935* models are for Galaxy S7 Edge. You might see a model number like SM-G930F, SM-G930K, SM-G930T, SM-G930A, SM-G935F, SM-G935A, SM-G935T, etc. ..

Just find the newest firmware release and that should work. Also can reboot recovery and select view recovery logs and click /cache/recovery/last_log and roughly 4 clicks down with your volume button, maybe 5 or 6 you should see firmware that's in use.
I wish to update my Samsung SM-N960F/DS from Android 9 to Android 10 using ODIN.
It ended up with SECURE CHECK FAIL: (PIT)
I notice in download mode Product Name is SM-N960N
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
FAP LOCK : OFF
OEM LOCK: OFF
Please help

Did you use the CSC_HOME or CSC file? You should use CSC and if need copy and paste CSC to a different folder, in file explorer hit view and check box "file name extensions" and add extension .zip to CSC file, extract and find .PIT file and use that file when you flash as well as the usual firmware. That will repartition the device. I'm sure you've seen the PIT option in Odin. Make sure it is the correct firmware when you download the new firmware.

Is this compatible with the XFINITY SM-G950U?

I have tried flashing an unlocked Samsung S8 with the above Verizon firmware but I am running into a problem. I set up to flash the BL, AP, CP and HOME_CSC files and Odin begins the process but hangs for many minutes at "Setup Connection", and then eventually states FAIL for reprogramming. It knows the phone is connected and "added" on the right COM port but will not flash. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help, a lot!!!!! I am running Odin3 v3.13

I was enabling USB debug in developer mode but when I went into download mode it would not work. Apparently I am fat fingered and deselected USB debugging so no usable connection. Once got that done used ¡BBB! Odin patched (THANK YOU SIR!!!!!!!!) and loaded the files above. Reflashed and rebooted in a few minutes, got PASS out of Odin and phone booted up just fine. Now I am able to enable the Advanced Calling feature which I sorely needed living in a lousy reception cell zone area. Thanks all for the work you put in, it is most appreciated!

It sounds like you are trying to flash a version 2 bootloader when you already have a version 3 BL installed. You need to find an updated ROM that has the version 3 BL.

Glad you figured it out,
Hello guys!
I have a big problem with my S7 edge (G935F)... The problem begins when I forget to turn off the OEM security and then I did an update to my Magisk root... When I tried to reboot my phone it doesn't pass of the first logo image, meaning that I broke the "security", so I read about that and then I flashed a firmware, an official UK (BTU I guess) firmware and then I flashed TWRP via Odin to restore a nandroid that I did when I bought my phone... It restored the EFS partition/folder and when my phone reboots I had no network signal, no IMEI... I just tried everything (I hope not) and I can't give back my IMEI and my network signal... When I try to patch the certificate to recover my IMEI via Odin in the download mode it says: SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:2. Binary:1
I don't know if I explained it because my english is too bad, but I tried, I know that someone else have the same problem than I because I saw it. Do you find the solution? I'm out of my country and I need it so much :crying:
Regards!

Hey brother it happened with me too, unfortunately, I had to format my internal storage to fix this, you need to flash the latest nougat firmware via odin with csc including bl and modem and then start in recovery then format and start phone, remember you would need to put the google account which was previously there in the phone to unlock and complete setup process (very important here)

Download the latest firmware from https://updato.com (it's fast and reliable) then start in download mode, run odin with administrative privileges, select BL AP Modem and CSC (dont use home since we wish to clean fornat), and in odin uncheck auto reboot option, after the ODIN shows 'pass', disconnect the cord from pc, now you have to be very quick here since our battery is not removable, in order to shut down s7 edge from odin mode, all you have to do is press, volume down, volume up, home and power and as soon as it goes off connect the cord, the battery will show up and now it will be in charging state, after that disconnect the cord, (the phone is now clean fornatted and in off stage) and now boot into recovery to wipe data and cache using default recovery, then reboot phone and then log into your existing google account.
I know its tricky and maybe there's an ez way around it but this worked for me so I'm sharing

I tried it at first instance but I could not because my Bootloader was updated to the "U2" version, what I did after that was search the Combination file updated to the U2 bootloader, after a long search I found it.
In resume, The solution is what the OP of that thread says but if you have the same problem like me with the Updated bootloader you need this file instead of the files that are shown there:

I knw all that. I meant to say it's Verizon carrier firmware not att. Cuz i have installed it on my phone and there are few Verizon apps in there.
BTW... When I Odin the files my neice disconnected the cable from pc and process didn't complete(I think it finished around 75%). When I tried going to download mode again for reinstall it gave me emergency recovery software error. Furnately, I was able to access my phone without any problem and nothing got deleted, but all my Samsung apps detecting it as modified firmware and whenever I try going to recover mode, download mode or safe mode I get the Emergency recovery error.
& I'm getting 4 options for software update now in settings.
Samsung pay and pass saying my phone is rooted.
Any suggestions how to Odin files again cuz I'm unable to get to download mode now. Thanks

Is your device or service provider from Verizon? Also, you may have flashed the odin files incorrectly. I see that you have 2 software update sections. Make sure you back up your files, flash odin files to their correct slots. BL to BL, AP to AP, CP to CP, CSC to CSC and flash userdata to Userdata/UMS. Also, flash with odin version 3.13.1. That should fix the problem.

I have updated my Note 8 to 4cre5. I want to get my phone back to cre1. I have switched carriers to Cricket. When I try to Odin cre1 to my phone it says it worked but it went fast and it is still on Cre5.
Any idea what to do?

1st Thank You for your work!
So this can be flashed on AT&T devices? Someone stated that it's for Verizon and I'm confused with that statement. Also
There's 2 CSC files?
CSC_OYN &
HOME_CSC_OYN
Which one do I use in CSC slot and where does the other go?
Hi Forum users
have a problem in attempting to ROOT my phone
SAMSUNG GALAXY S8
been a novice user made a mistake
hopping I can still win.
will give very brief Description for the moment hoping to get some help
Basically phone booted into Standard ROM b4 I had finished (last step applying ROOT)
I now get an Error that boots and reboots) the error is
"Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
can still get into Download screen, but cannot get to recovery (TWRP)
Oden can still connect to download screen.
I think what I need to do is a Factory reset again, and hopefully get back into RECOVERY
any suggestions or help would be gratefully received
thanks
PS
happy to give full description if needed

You will need to flash firmware via odin.
You can download firmware with updato.com or sammobile.com
Thanks for reply
Thanks for the reply
Ok just to be clear
I have already flashed TWRP
SO I have a bootloader installed
but cannot access RECOVERY MODE
SO I can access Oden in download mode
which Firmware are you suggesting I Flash
Just had a browse of those sites seem to be mainly Northern hemisphere
I am in Australia
But from what I understand we have the same CPU as the European ones

1. Flashing firmware will delete twrp.
2. Being from Australia myself all firmware are on the website. You will have to filter out for Australian firmware.
3. Do you know what firmware you are on.

Hmm didn't take note of that B4 starting
but I think my Model numbers is SM-G950F if that helps
SM-G950F Exynos 8895 9 - just done a quick Google
one other thing that might be relevant i also managed top install
no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip
before stuffing up
will this affect things or will that be overwritten

Flashing stock rom will restore you phone to it's original state. So you will have to install twrp and root again.
For information about firmware and Odin maybe this may be of some help.

If you are not sure about your firmware install the latest version.
On the website they will also have dates of when the firmwares are released.
You can use also samfirm or frija ( PC applications ) to download latest firmware.
OK will follow that info
and do the Firmware update
As I don't know the firmware number, will have to try the latest version
will do a bit more reading when I have a some time and give it a go
thanks for the links.
Will let you know how it turns out
THANKS
Few more Questions
OK done some reading
filtered out some relevent Files, (I hope)
one file took 16 hours to download (they where feeding it at 50kbs).
So have two files which where listed as XSA carrier,
others where Telstra and Optus.
As I am not aware of XSA carrier was hopping that it was some sort of generic carrier firmware
Is that correct ??
One is version 8
the other is version 9
So should I go with the version 9 ?
Sorry for all the questions, just want to make sure I get it right
THANKS

XSA is unbranded firmware ( it's what I have installed on my phone).
If you are locked into a carrier flashing other firmware will not unlock you from that carrier.
Not knowing what firmware you had before and because of download speeds you may have to use version 9 ( PIE ) firmware.
To check software version no. ( bootloader ) you can check in download mode. It should have a line saying AP SWREV: B : * - the star is your bootloader version. So you will have to use this version or higher when flashing firmware.
Make sure of your model number when searching for firmware. S8 = SM-G950f
Im having a similar problem, had to install stock july patch im using latest odin version then, i install recovery but when the phone reboots there is no recovery, tried to downgrade to february patch but odin dont allow it

Are you talking about stock or custom recovery and what is the issues you are having with it.
Depending on you bootloader version number you can not down grade firmware.
I tried to install stock recovery, the problem is: odin installs sucessfully recovery but when i try to go to recovery is not installed

Glad you got it sort out.
Not sure about the signing in. I use mobile app which is logged it to my Google account. I do have some issues with the PC ( without logging into Google ) but don't use it much. All I can suggest is to try a search on XDA or ask the moderators for assistance
Retry installing Recovery

Please let me know how this works for you with your G950U1. It had problems on my phone, but it could be a problem with my hardware.
I noticed that after installing, the software is identified as G950U, and not G950U1. Not sure if that matters though.
ok i got this to work to get back to a working state but to no avail i still have no imei no matter how i try . i also do not have anything show up in the service menu or any other of the menus except a few . i do not have a original back up of the imei nor can i get it to stick in the efs folder . i am really lost at the moment. all in all i have really learned alot about this s8 . i have flashed just about every available firmware to this phone i have even had twrp on it but now it is at a stage that i am in dire need of some tru know how . i am stuck with the binary 7 as i understand there is no going back from which means only u or u1 firmware is available there is no other with the 7 binary that i have found it will not read a sim or sd . if anyone has some help to offer again i would be very grateful for it . and thanx in advance for any help thrown my way . ps i'm not afraid to screw this phone up any more than it already is i have recovered from soft and hard brick already so i'm pre-prepared lol.

Imei is stored in a partition called sec I believe. They are also certificate wrote to this device which means you can't just rewrite it. There is u u1 and w firmware all bit 7 for your device. as for twrp I believe you mean safestrap as we have locked boot loaders
Best thing I can say is flash the absolute latest try to get correct base band for whichever firmware. If not may need a professional imei service that can write cert based imei but we don't discuss that here on xda
Ok that info helps get me to another stage lol and yes I meant ss . I have it back now on the u firmware got it acknowledging sna xaa spr . I think the imei is in there somewhere but what baffles me most I have nothing showing up in the service menu and I cannot log into Samsung on it .I can log in on my J737V. But also aside said still not showing baseband ims not registered and it will not register in the update part of settings. I don't really know what caused all this .But anyways thanks for the info I will be going through the info you provided. The slot for the help . Oh and if anyone needs any thing for this devise chances are I got a lot of it lol.
Use phone with Visible
I'm trying to use this factory binary to transition my phone from SM-G950U1 to SM-G950U so that I can put Verizon firmware on it and use on Visible (Verizon MVNO). I downloaded the binary linked above and extracted the tar file, but when using ODIN 3.12.7, I get an error message when trying to load it to the phone (it just says success:0 failed:1).

Thank you so much! With the modded 3.13 I was able to load the binary 7 combination file and then subsequently load the latest Verizon firmware downloaded from samfirm. This allows the phone to be used on Visible. I really appreciate your help.
I'm not 100% sure but If you have combination firmware on your device, perform a factory reset with combination firmware it very well may rebuild your IMEI partition. I've read somewhere that the combination firmware does that if your do a factory reset with it. Factory reset is in the settings menu after you flash and run the combination rom(Factory Binary), whatever.
