Hello, I purchased a G935F and was attempting to flash Australia firmware to access SPay. Downloaded the latest version and flashed using Odin., just the AP. It said success, S7e rebooted into an orange screen. When I enter download mode again it shows Knox has been tripped.
Anyway to recover the phone? Seems to go into a bootloop, can't shut off the phone or enter recover mode only download mode. It seems like the phone is still getting notifications thought.
If it's not apparent, I'm a complete noob at this so any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Grab all of the files for you phone and do a factory reset with Odin.

HELP!
i downloaded the na6 firmware for n9005, processed to flash it in odin by putting the tar file in ap section and checking the upload boatleader box,
odin showed a pass, but now my phone is stuck at the note 3 logo, i can only boot to download mode at the moment, so what would be the best thing to do right now? also, i have an official 4.3 firmware, can i flash it back? please help
any help appreciated.
edit: i seems that i restarted the phone immediately after oding finished flashing
i reflashed the same file and now it booted
Okay first post on this website.
4.4.2, i9505
So, as i am a compete android n00b, i rooted my s4 with the KingoRoot tool as i thought it was an easy method, later i found out ChainFire made an easy auto root .
After i rooted with the kingo my device would randomly reboot, when i called someone, when i locked my phone and random stages throughout the day.
After some reading online i found the solution was to re-flash my phone to stock fireware. so i downloaded odin, drivers, fireware from sam and tried to re-flash it. however my phone failed after aboot.mbn. I then got the unexpected error saying the phone had to be plugged into kies etc.
I then used "philz_touch_6.07.9-i9300.tar.md5" to get rid of the error message which worked. however the phone still would radnomly restart.
Again i turnrf to the web to find a solution for the radnom booting and found this -

1. The error that give u ODIN is coz you are trying to flash an older firmware that the one you have installed in your device.
2. You have to flash a STOCK recovery. Flash this file via ODIN in PDA/AP (like in the pic 1 attached): HERE.
3. Turn off your device manually when the process finish. Boot it into STOCK RECOVERY by pressing and holding Volume Up, Home and Power.
4. Take a look the CSC (pic 2). "Applied the CSC-code: ............" <- This is your REAL CSC. Turn off your device again manually and boot it into DOWNLOAD MODE by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power.
5. Go to Sammobile and download the LATEST firmware for your device with correct CSC and flash it via ODIN.
6. About KNOX and reboots: Delete all KNOX reminds less "Lib = libknox_encryption.so".
7. Good luck
Hi,
I recently got me a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) and the first thing i wanted to do was installing CM13 as I always do with my new phones. However, when i followed te steps on CM wiki using Heimdall to flash TWRP the blue bar of the downlaod mode increases a small bit, then stops and in the command promt it says something about error with finding PIT. After trying this for three times i decided to go with Odin, which I do prefer anyways.
I tried flashing TWRP , the blue bar is filling to 100% but then on the little screen where Odin usually states FAIL! or PASS! it just says RESET! and my phone is restarting. Shortly after it restarded you can see the RESET! turning to PASS!, but when I tried checking in TWRP is installed, it wasn't. I tried it again and then Odin suddenly says FAIL! After restarting my phone it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I couldnt even enter download mode anymore till I tried if getting out the battery would work. I could enter download mode again and flashed the same TWRP on my phone again, and aigain it says RESET! but after that my phone worked again. I tried flashing with another version of Odin and TWRP but same thing happened - First run it said RESET!, second run FAIL!.
I thought maybe rooting the device and installing TWRP via their app afterwards could do the trick. So i tried flashing Autoroot with Odin but it made my phone showing a screen with Samsung logo and in the upper left corner something about recovery mode, seemed to be a loop/freeze. So i took out the battery again and flashed TWRP and that solved the problem again. At last I tried rooting by using TowelRoot but it says the service is not available for my device, even though S5 is listed as a supported device.
I really have no idea what to do anymore, would be very grateful if someone could come up with a solution.
BTW: Is it possible to flash CM13 without using custom recovery by using stock recovery?
Greetings

RESET! is basically the same thing as PASS! What version of TWRP are you installing? The keis screen you got is the same as download mode. Why are you using heimdal? your idea to go with Odin was a good one. Anyways, download TWRP 3.0.2 (not 3.0.2-1 or 3.0.2-2 as they are buggy) and flash it in Odin, reboot to recovery and install the ROM you like, of course following its specific install instructions. No, you cant install a custom rom with stock recovery
Thanks for your answer, meanwhile i managed to fix this problem. Had to flash the latest Firmware because twrp (could just install the oldest version otherwise I had no option to boot into recovery at all) said no OS installed. After rooting via Odin worked like it's supposed to.
Why did I use Heimdall? Because I wanted to stick to CM-wikis instruction and they used Heimdall.
So I hadn't considered since this is a new s5 and it might not have been on MM which I believe autoroot tool requires currently. So now my phone can't boot or enter into recovery mode. I can't restore via KIES because it can't even enter recovery. It stays on a screen with the samsung galaxy logo and in the top left says recovery booting...recovery is not seandroid enforcing....set warranty bit : recovery. Anything I can do or did I screw myself? Should definitely add a warning on the newbie thread to NOT USE AUTOROOT IF YOU ARE NOT ON MM. Appreciate any help, thanks.
Got it into download mode finally -_- Restoring via KIES. Will let you know how it turns out. Towelroot still work? That might be easier next go around.
Hey, so I wanted to install TWRP on my S8, I have flashed it via odin, and I have experienced a bootloop - I think no worries, I'll try to flash stock firmware - Well...
I did try so - apparently bootloader was "newer?" so I skipped BL section in odin, I did the rest - it flashed BOOT, and then failed at next stage...
Now my s8 won't boot even into download mode - and it says:
"An error has occured while updating the device software.
Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software" Thing is - the smart switch software doesn't recognise my device.
Am I hardbricked out of my S8 - or is there still hope?
Thank you very much in advance!
EDIT: nevermind, I CAN boot into download mode, I just wasn't quick enough to boot into it, my bad.
I am downloading a new stock firmware and I'll see if this one works.

What model s8 do you have. The snap dragon model US cannot be rooted above revision 3 and no twrp either

As far as I remember it was g950f
Hey, so I have managed to fix the bootloop via just downloading a newer stock firmware for international model (g950f) and flashing that through odin - seeing as the phone now booted up I decided to bite the bullet again and downloaded latest twrp again - flashed it and this time it worked 100%, flashed magisk and now I am rooted, I guess that was a false alarm, but I got into a quite a panic mode when the previous stock firmware wouldn't flash.
It's solved now, so cheers!
