I flashed latest arabian firmware today and odin gave me error while flashing hidden.img, then phone brick, I unbricked it flashing only ap file and phone boot, but why that error?
Use a newer version of Odin, like 3.12. Older versions cause this error because of a new file structure in the firmwares.

I used 3.12 no errors until now
G935F ODIN3 Hidden Fail
Used ODIN 3_11 to install the Sammobile BTU image (DLPT, v7.0 Jan 17). No problem.
Now a month or two later, I repeated to process to install the latest DQCG image (G935F EE image for UK, v7.0, March 17). I also downloaded the latest ODIN 3_12. It advised selecting the HOME_CSC image (in the download there was also a CSC image... without the HOME). The install failed due to a "HIDDEN.img" fail.
Various forums suggest opening the .md5 archive with Winrar to edit the Hidden.img. I ignored this and simply repeated the ODIN task, but this time selecting the slightly smaller CSC image. This worked perfectly.
I''m uncertain why there are two CSC images in the Sammobile archive?
As a side concern, when the initial install failed, I received a message saying use the PC Smart Switch app to run the emergency firmware recovery tool. I did try this but got nowhere the tool just blinked at me (possible driver missing?).

Hello,
I was trying to flash the ILO lollipop firmware that I downloaded from sammobile and the version I downloaded would fail the md5 check so I tried downloading from another website.
I downloaded it and it passed the md5 check, everything goes well with the flash until the very end when it says FAIL. I tried flashing it a couple times, each time it says FAIL so i had to revert back to my old firmware which did flash succesfully. The PIT file is the same for both firmwares so that wouldnt be the issue. Is it possible that the csc causes the FAIL? Any other ideas of why it fails every time?
Has anyone had success in flashing this firmware? G900FXXU1BOC7_G900FOJK1BOC2_G900FXXU1BOC7_HOME.tar
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.
Hi,
I cant seem to find anything related directly to the S8 and not sure if all mobiles are the same..
I had Android 8 on my S8 and needed to downgrade to 7 to try something, I did that but after it completed I had a messy settings menu where parts were duplicated or showing the wrong sub-heading.
I've read on the forums about this and it says re-flash with CSC and AP to fix.
When I try to re-flash it gets stuck on "Set Partition" in Odin.
I read to fix this you need to enable the "re-partition" option in Odin, I have tried this and it still does not work.
I have also tried full flash or AP, CSC, BL and CP and it's still getting stuck.
Tried on two different PC's (just in case) - same result on both.
The phone still boots and works, but it feels like something is wrong.
Can someone advise on how to completely re-flash the phone? The videos I've watched so far don't seem to run into this issue.
Any help would be awesome
Update: Using odin 3.13 gives this error: <ID:0/005> Can't open the specified file. (Line: 1892)
I've tried it with SamFirm and Sammobile FW.
EDIT - Finally fixed it, flashed G950FXXU1AQDG to the handset, wiping and re-partitioning the phone, after setup an OTA update was pushed for 8.0.
In case anyone else has the same issue, I used Sammobile for the FW and Odin 3.12 to flash.

You cant just simply extract a rom zip you need tools to do it thats why you are getting errors when extracting.
Did you go into developer options and enable OEM unlock and usb debugging??

Do what I said in my last post. Check the ap BL CSC checkboxes in Odin and choose the file from sammobile to flash
I have a Samsung S7edge G935 that had boot problems and I have been trying to flash with the standard firmware from Sammobile and also Frija. I could not get either firmware’s to flash with Odin in windows as I kept getting Pit loading errors etc etc. As many know Odin for windows takes forever to report an error so in frustration I wiped the nand thinking that I could reinstall a nandroid backup off an identical phone I have. Clearly I was wrong. I have found on this forum the FWUL application which I have working and although I have not yet succeeded in flashing the firmware it does at least give the error messages in an instant. The firmware’s from Sammobile and Frija are correct for the phone UK BTU and I have unzipped the CSC files to obtain the PIT file which I must assume is the correct one for the rest of the firmware. I still get the same error in jodin ‘ pit file corrupted would you like us to get the correct file for you’ but there is no obvious way to accept the ‘offer’.
