bootloop, cant find the right files

hey guys
i got into a bootloop with the samsung text (not the logo startup) and i cant get into the recovery
i can go in download mode and i know i have to use odin, but i cant find the right firmware files (pda,phone,csc) and have been searching for 2 hours now
i want to go to stock gingerbread, any help?

Visit the sammobile Homepage www.sammobile.com,
register there and just download the version you need for your device.
(yes, the handling of the site is very poorly...)
Or take a look here...

Download the JVU version, because it has all 3 files (pda,modem,csc) and you have to use a 3 file ROM, a pit file and re-partition in order make full recovery in ODIN

[Q] trying to revert sm-n900a to stock.

Wassup guys, ive been searching the forum for going on three days now trying to revert back to stock. i keep getting fails through Odin 3.09 and 3.07. Crazy thing is that i have a baseband of mj5 and a build number of mi9. Im on my last nerve with this. Had the phone since Oct. and love it to death. But right now im ready to take it out and practice shooting. Im a fairly knowledgeable with odin and flashing in recovery but this has me at a stand still. Any help as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated. I have downloaded the MI9 files for odin (BL, AP,CP,CSC,PIT) for MJ5 i have (BL,AP,CP,PIT). If im missing some files or doing something wrong a link to a good tutorial would help. Thanks
Just tried flashing mI9 firmware in download mode and got SW REV CHECK: (sbl1) fused2> binary 1
did the whole *#1234# and got AP Mj5 and CP MI9

Confusing.
Be more clear instead of shooting the phone.
What custom rom you were on, if i understand you correct? Android version and your firmware?

No custom rom, 4.3 Baseband says MJ5. Build number says MI9. i dont know if they are supposed to be the same. I was rooted and unrooted. Just trying to get it back to days 1, fresh out the box, Bone stock.
Ok i did the *#1234# now my AP is N900AUCUBMI9,
CP is N900AUCUBMJ5,
and my CSC is N900AATTBMI9.
this is confusing the hell outta me. in the earlier post i didnt have a CSC. only the AP and CP.

Flash a newer firmware or same as your last firmware. I assume you can't downgrade to the original firmware if you have updated once to a newer one as bootloader gets locked.
Or flash 4.4.2 with Odin 1.85

I have tried that also. I dld the N900AUCECMLG.zip for the phone but when i unzip it im at a loss for what to do with the files. i dont know if it should be done in recovery or what files to use with odin. I dont see any tar or md5 files.

You have [email protected]? If so this is the correct firmware for you.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=25106
From there you can see instructions to how to flash. Read carefully. Don't panic.
Download rom. And use e.g winrar ro open just once when the files are downloaded. You are extracting twice and stop doing so. Open onse and drag and drop files to your e.g desktop. Once you do this you get md5.
You put the phone into download mode when flashing firmware. Turn it off. Volum down+home+power button at same time when asked if you want to continue press Volum up. Then you are in download mode.
Why do you even flash anything if you can't basics. Read more. If you still can't do this all before attempt or ask a friend to do it for you.

How do I unroot and reflash stock ROM onto AT&T G930A S7?

I am trying to unroot my phone. I have a US version of G930A. Sammobile has every county except the USA. I found G930AATT1APB5_User_Binary.zip which has AP_G930AUCU1APB5_CL7193387_QB8719495_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar, the BL, CP and CSC file in it. I try to flash it using Odin3, and I get an "odin protocol version error." I take it because the image is a lower version that's what's on there. I would like to download the latest stock image but sammobile doesn't offer images for the US? Or is there a better way?

Wrong forum. This here is for SM-G930F Development, not Q&A. You'll get the answers you're seeking and more, at the S7 AT&T Q&A and Dev forums. Mod, please move - thanks.

Wrong forum. But try using Kies in Download mode
That is what i do when ever i restore my phone.

No Kies good lord. This isn't a Note 2.
You're getting that error because you're on newer firmware than you're trying to flash so it's erroring out.
Follow the Return to stock procedure in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...sed-unroot-t3411039/post67605246#post67605246
Flash all 4 files, then you'll be on PF2 and able to get the OTA Update to PG1 with wifi calling, etc.

I tried using kies. It asks me for my model. I put in SM-G930A. The serial I put in all caps and it tells me my model number I entered is wrong.

Which Odin are you using?
You're flashing the PF2?

I've tried many versions of Odin v1 (not the 3). I'm not sure what the PF2 is.
To get it to work, I just defaulted the phone and rerooted it. It's the only way I can get it to work. It's working perfect right now. Only question is how long,

for g930a (galaxy s7 at&t NOT EDGE)
WARNING: YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA MAKE A BACKUP
download these files:
Odin: http://www.mediafire.com/download/2t...din_3.12.3.rar
Flashing Files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B17...w?usp=drivesdk
After downloading extract the .rar extract it then extract each, BL, AP, ect... files. Use the odin included in the download to flash and you will be returned to stock. If the odin included still gives you the error you can get the princecomsey version and see if that works from here: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/tools/ODIN/ODIN-modified.zip
If odin freezes or crashes just restart it and try again, it might take a while foor the AP file to load into odin so just be patient and if it looks like it is about to crash wait about 2-3 minutes then force close it and try again.
Now you are returned to stock an all set !!
(p.s) - PF2 is the latest firmware as of now for the g930a, meaning when you flash this you will be all set. You may have tried to flash the original PF which is now outdated cause AT&T updated it, I did this and it worked but i could not update my phone so I flashed this one and it works perfectly and Samsung pay is up and running.

[Firmware] G950UOYN2BQK5

This is the latest OTA Update for all major carriers. THIS WILL UPDATE YOUR BOOTLOADER SO THERE IS NO GOING BACK! I'm downloading, uploading to my Google Drive and posting this here as reference.
And of course, after flashing this in Odin you can go to https://samsung.firmware.science and chose QK5 to whichever Oreo Beta is latest or you can enjoy having the latest flashable update.
LINK: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1x9-mYPbDKgsa4sS0bMdu9yfmczZywqM_

Uploaded. I already removed the .md5 off the end of the files, just extract and flash away

How do you go about flashing this? Flashing my S5 there was only one file and you loaded that into the AP slot in Odin. With the S8 software it looks like there are 5 separate files. Do you only flash the AP file or all of them? Also, I tried another firmware that was supposed to be Verizon firmwareand had some cricket and metropcs apps installed. Will this be the Verizon firmware that came with the phone from the factory or is it like the other firmware I downloaded and installed from Sammobile? Thanks for any help on this. Trying to get my phone back to how it was when I took it out of the box.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T530NU HELP PLEASE

I am having a heck of a time installing the stock firmware on this device. It came to me softbricked and I have used almost every firmware available from the XDA official Galaxy Tab 4 forum, Sammobile and even the SAMFIRM tool. I do not know if this is a PDA issue or what, But I have been able to flash the bootloader with TWRP and install some custom roms which makes me think I am using the wrong firmware but I am lost as of right now.
FIRMWARES I HAVE TRIED:
T530NUUEU1BQC1_T530NUXAR1BQC1_HOME.tar
T530NUUEU1AOA2_T530NUXAR1AOA2_HOME.tar
T530NUUEU1ANK1_T530NUXAR1ANK1_HOME.tar
T530NUUEU1AND4_T530NUXAR1AND4_HOME.tar
T530XXU1AOA1_DBT1AOA1_v4.4.2_Repair_Firmware ( 4 file repair) Only one I can find
Other Regions XAC and BNN Firmwares
_T530NUXAC1BQC1_HOME.tar
T530NUOVS1BPL1_T530NUBNN1BPL1_HOME.tar
I have tried multiple cables and odin3 versions
Odin3 v 3.04
Odin3 v3.07
Odin3 v3.12.3 & v3.12.5
Odin3 v3.13.3
Odin always fails on aboot.mbn not matter what...sometimes I can get it to say re-partition failed or secure boot fail PIT or secure boot fail aboot
When I flash the stock bootloader I can see at the top of the screen T530NUUEU1BQC1 and at the bottom Multi CSV, XAR selected.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Anyone have any suggestions at all?

If someone could please let me know what I am doing wrong or any other suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

Something I forgot to mention is whenever I try to flash the stock firmware it always fails on aboot.mbn. I really hope someone can give me some insight on this.

I can't answer your questions, but: Does it have to be the original Stock Rom? Why don't you stay with a custom rom? Dirty Unicorns MM may be old but it's very stable since years on my device.

I mean I don't " have" too install the stock rom but I would like to know what my problem is it would greatly help me in the future on other devices.
I will give dirty unicorn a go.
