SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused:2, Binary: 1 is when you try to downgrade aboot.mbn (bootloader) or try to flash incorrect system/csc etc..
If you get this message , just reboot in Download mode and flash correct package..

I am getting the same error when I try to flash back to the stock ROM and unroot my Verizon Note 3. I made the mistake of accepting the OTA update on my rooted device, did not have custom ROM or anything. The installation seemed to go okay but apparently wiped out the root. Everything was working fine but my root apps so I thought the device was essentially stock. I tried the Dela Vega Root method and it failed several attempts. So I tried flashing a stock ROM in Odin and I get the message you got. I tried downloading the stock ROM on two different occasions in case it was corrupted but still not working. Is my device bricked or is there something I can do? Any help would be appreciated.
Got my phone unbricked by following the directions in this thread. Installed pit file and my phone rebooted! Thank G-d! Was able to root with Kingo. De la vega root does not work with the firmware upgrade.

You cannot go back or restore an old ROM, you have upgraded to 4.4.2 with NA6 Bootloader, so you can ONLY Run NA6 Bootloader which means you are stuck on KitKat now..
Reflash Kitkat 4.4.2 Stock and you're good to go :good:

THanksfor the replay but the tjing is when i was installing kitkat Odin came up with an error and it failed so the upgrade didn't go through. So does it mean I'm stuck with kitkat. The thing is I tried 2 other kitkat and none of them worked. So when I tried to go back to my old ROM Odin always coming up. with errors. "FAIL (Auth)"
What does that mean..... :crying:

Yeah you'll have upgraded cause it'll have installed the Bootloader then tried the ROM before the failure. -
What model/region are you using ? Is it a HK note?

1 Minute I will edit and give you link to fix your device :good:
Follow exactly these steps (I've fixed the second link.). Update progress.
METHOD
In Odin mode
1. Flash the latest cf-autoroot (Kitkat support) [http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-...x-smn9005.zip]
2. Flash the Chenglu's latest CWM - 6.0.4.6 (the one that supports KitKat) http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2454079
Download Sweet Rom and place it in ExtSDcard (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2487425)
I tried external sd-card with various format and could not install the ROM. After format my SD Card to FAT32, the ROM can be installed.
On Device
1. Boot in to Recovery mode by Volume up + Home + Power
2. Wipe Factory reset / Dalvik Cache
3. Format /System (under "mount and storage" menu) [IMPORTANT STEP]
4. Install Rom from SD Card
5. Say your prayer. You'll need it. (The installation could take sometimes. If the device screen shows Samsung boot animation, you're half way there)
Thanks to @rinuvimal posting here
I've updated working links here:

Try using PIT file, then re-flashing SweetROM, JackyawayROM or FlexKAT ROM

Don't worry, as long as you can get into recovery and download modes, there will be a solution, its only a matter of time before we zone in on a solution.
What CSC region phone do you have? Dial *#1234# and check what the CSC code is. Also how much storage do you have on your phone 16Gb or 32GB?

thanks

Hi guys, I will try and explain this as simple as possible.
I as trying to install cyanogenmod 11 on my phone, and everything seemed to go alright until I made a mistake. I used TWRP to first backup my stock rom on the phone, and then when I was supposed to reboot into the app, I accidently rebooted the phone.
Now the problem is that the phone does not have any OS installed, so what is happening is that it's trying to boot into an OS that's not there, and instead ends up being stuck on the Samsung logo. I can enter Odin mode just fine, but for the love of god I cannot seem to figure how to get back into the TWRP application, or if it is even possible.
I do have the backup of the ROM stored on my SD card, and I've now moved it over to my PC, but it still does not seem to help me in any way. I've trid to launch the Odin3 program on my pc, in an attempt to to try and launch in TWRP through that, but it has all been without any success, so now I come to this board of guinesses, asking for help!
As an added bit of information, this was my first time trying to install a custom rom, so yeah.. Puff..
- The lost Dane.
- Edit -
I tried to "flash" by doing what this link said, in the hopes that my phone would boot into the program, but alas, it only booted back to the logan saying "samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005" :/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30694404
-- Edit Edit --
To make it super clear ... If I could get back into TWRP, I would be able to run my backup. I know how that app works, I just simply cannot get back into, and I do not know if it is even possible. I've searched and tried various guides to "flash TWRP through Odin" but it has all been without any success... :/

Did you hold volume up+home+power button to get into recovery mode?
In case your twrp get corrupted due to flashing failure previously
1. Download twrp from the following. 2.6.3.7 if you were running 4.3 or 2.6.3.8 if you were running 4.4.2(not sure if 2
6.3.8 is 4.3 compatible). For odin flashable use the one with .tar
http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hlte
2. Get into download mode(vol down+home+power)
3. Link the downloaded .tar to pda in odin. Odin log should show 'added' once you connect phone to pc
4. Start the process. Once finish phone should boot into recovery automatically but it'll try to boot back into OS. Just hold vol up+home+power button to get back into recovery

When I do that, I get an ultra short blue text appearing on the screen, before it goes into downloading mode, with a red text saying "Could not do normal boot." So it basically goes right into odin mode.

I edited my post. You need to reflash twrp
You are an absolute god. I wish I could show my appreciation, but I fear words isn't even enough to even begin.. I managed to get into TWRP now, though my backup rom doesn't show up anymore, but I suppose that's because I run a different version of TWRP than I did first? Idk, but really appreciate that you were able to get me back into TWRP.

I really do appreciate the help you've given, but I have one final request, and I really do hope it isn't too much to ask. Say I am unable to find the same version of TWRP, I will have to actually flash cyanogenmod onto my device. I don't think it should be too tough now that I've managed to launch into TWRP, because now I should be able to just put the rom on my SD card, and then install the files, no?
if it helps you, my device is SM-N9005, and I had 4.3 when I started this whole thing. Cheers!
- Edit.
I tried to download the Nighty build from CyanogenMod's own homepage, but when I try and install it, it says failed, giving me an erro that says "This package is for "hlexx" devices: This is a." That's all it says ... Hmfh. Sooooooooo... Yes! I'm in recovery mode now, but without any rom. :/

Yes you can flash any cm based rom.
You can also flash any stock rom such as SweetRom/X-Note/BobCat as most developers still keeping 4.3 rom in their thread.

Believe so. It's because of updater script i guess as described in the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600648&page=2
Try flashing chenglu's 6.0.4.5 recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454079
Just the same as you did for twrp. I think i read somewhere that changing recovery helped some people.
The worst just download sweetrom/x-note/bobcatrom or any stock 4.3 based rom if you deperately need the phone to boot up

So after having spent the better half of the night, I actually managed to get my phone to boot into cyanogenmod 11 ! But that joy was shortlived when I came to realize that wi-fi wasn't working, and I couldn't get it to work. I tried to factory reset as I had read would help, but alas it did no good. I figured I should try and run back a stock 4.4.2 rom and just be done with it, but that was when I realized I had lost my root (?!) so that wasn't really a possibility either, next I set out to try and find a way to root my phone now running cyanogenmod 11. I found a file here on XDA called "CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar" but whenever I try and flash that onto my phone, my phone just stays stuck saying "trying to enter into recovery mode" and does not really go anywhere from there. I can get back into recovery mode if I flash "n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.5(1116)" onto the phone, like you said, but that still leaves me without root access, which I need to throw a rom onto my device?! Arrrgh, this is getting silly, I just wish I could go back to my backup/ default rom on the device, but I can't.

About the cf auto root make sure you flash the one for 4.3. I believe you flashed the one for 4.4.2.
Doesn't really matter whether you have root access or not as long as you can boot into custom recovery. Just flash any custom rom. It'll give you root anyway.
Still if you need root just make sure you flash cf auto root then flash twrp or chenglu recovery. Flash the one for 4.3 that's the most important

But when I have cyanogenmod 11 installed, is that then not 4.4.2 ? I suppose that's what's giving me trouble... I'll try and see if I can find the cf auto root for 4.3 and return back if I was successful or not. Again, thank you for being so patient..

You flashed 4.4.2 cm rom but you're on 4.3 booloader. So you need to use cf auto root for 4.3 which is available here

Just enter download mode and reflash twtp. I saw there are 4 different versions for 4.3(2.6.3.0/2 6.3.5/2.6.3.6/2.3.6.7). Flash 1 by 1 and see if it can restore your backup

You really are a boss with a heart of gold! I used the file you linked me, ran it, and sure enough it installed and gave me root access. Believe it or not, but I am learning from this! The whole thing about bootloader being different from the rom version was new to me. But I am up and running with root access now, so now I hope it shouldn't be too hard to get a stock rom thrown in. I've kinda given up on my backup. I no longer care for the files I had before, now I just want the phone up and running with wifi.. X_ X

Or do you have any clue as to what is causing wifi to not work? I really don't mind the rom at all, I quite like it, but where I live wifi is mandatory as it's a lowered area with mountains around me, meaning LTE really isn't viable while at home.

You really are a boss with a heart of gold! I used the file you linked me, ran it, and sure enough it installed and gave me root access. Believe it or not, but I am learning from this! The whole thing about bootloader being different from the rom version was new to me. But I am up and running with root access now, so now I hope it shouldn't be too hard to get a stock rom thrown in.

Not sure about the wifi problem but yes you're good to go with a new rom. Make sure to choose only for 4.3 bootloader else you will run into problem later

Could you be so kind and to link me to a rom that works for 4.3 bootloader? I am so paranoid I'll end up picking something for 4.4.2, like I was about to do now. :S

Alright.. Time to get things done right! So just being sure I do it alright. I pick this one; http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2498687
Download the one for 4.3 bootloader, once download I place the zip folder on my SD card
- Then boot into Recovery mode, wipe phone clean, and then install the rom directly from inside of Recovery mode?
This used to be easy.
After 8 hours yesterday I think I managed to root the phone. CWM/TWRP will not install. At all, under any method. Rom manager, goo manager, I now get this stupid message that says that "an application attempted to access something unauthorized and has been blocked" over and over.
Just trying to flash CM11 rom. Guess I need to learn how to sideload or something? I physically can't get my phone to recovery mode other than the stock Android, which does not have the "flash zip from sdcard" option.
For the love of god help me. My phone stopped working around 2 pm yesterday and I seriously can't believe I'm about to be going into day 2 of this, so rather than drive myself crazy i'm going to wait for help
bump please help should be simple
Hi,
Please, don't panic! Panic is your worst enemy . First, give a good read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419762. Then try again . It's very likely Knox is blocking your TWRP/CWM installation, that's why you receive this message.
All the best,

Hi,
You need to flash the recovery via Odin . After flashing the recovery via Odin you'll be able to flash the ROM normally .

Hi,
Please post your installation issue on the Galaxy S4 Help Thread there might be someone better than me to help you there. Also are you sure you're flashing the right files and using the right method? Did you try another USB Cable? Did you try another Odin version? It all can contribute to the fail.

its the official samsung cable. and yes i tried others
tried other versions of odin as well
and different versions of both twrp and cwm
its crazy i tells ya xD
If it fails to flash true Odin, then you are doing something wrong.
- Different pc
- Reinstall drivers
- Different cable
- Different usb port
- Make sure kies is not running in the background
What are you running? Windows 8? Try a windows 7 pc.
Post the details of the error you are getting.
Also when the flash goes succesfull, but you still don't have a custom recovery, then uncheck auto-reboot.
can someone please link me to a guaranteed working version of a flashable recovery for odin ?
I know its a lot to ask but I've actually gone through almost that entire list you listed
tried diff cables
no kies runnning
on windows 7
drivers been installed twice
maybe i should try the other port, but in case that doesnt work can anyone just link me? sorry i've just never had this much problems with this, must be b/c of the new security knox update or w/e in oct of last year. Last June I did all this in about 15 minutes....
I had the same trouble with the knox crap yesterday, the only way I could get it rooted and/or with custom recovery was to use the Cyanogen windows installer, then when CM booted I then rebooted into recovery and installed a different rom from there. :good:

Hi i know youve already said said its officail cable but im saying try another different s4 cable. Because when i was installing recovery or anything it wouldnt let me (i thought i had original white s4 cable) but then i got my dads cable (hes gt s4) and it worked instantly. These fake cables are at large and its very very difficult to tell if its original.
Also like previous guy said using a different computer/laptop also helps i know because ive flashed my phones since day 1.
GL and plz let me know if u managed to fix it another way as its always good to try new options when others fail.

http://www.cyanogenmod.org/ then click the start button and follow the instructions.
It will get you to download the installer (or http://dist01.slc.cyngn.com/CMInstaller.msi?t=1403660099360) the click it to run, It may download an update for itself, then it will download recovery, operating system, gapps, then start to install everything. About 300mb altogether.
That way you don't need the tar files, just search on this sight for flashable from recovery for the recovery files you want. (I use the touch versions myself).

a freaking S4 AT&T! what the ****?
From what I've read AT&T have locked bootloaders. Glad I have an unlocked Australian version!
Yeah so if anyone can still find a way to help me that'd be awesome. Wasted two days already and rather not be stuck with stock

So do you have an AT&T phone? If you do, you are in the wrong section of the forum.
As title says, all attempts to flash a custom ROM result in error 7, I have checked that my version of TWRP is up to date and the ROM is for TRLTEXX. I have also tried removing the 'assert' section in `updater-script`, which caused another error where the `update-binary` file cannot be found. Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening and how to fix it?

First, if you just bought this phone, what I would do is double check the phone is really 910f. What's it say behind battery? Also boot into download mode, what info does that tell you. When you plug into Odin what model does it say. Reason I say this, I've seen others buy what they thought were F but they were really 910p.
If all the info checks out, I would download twrp again just to make sure you got good file. Downloads can mess up rarely.
Let me know what this tells you.
Had the phone for about a year and a half now, battery cover, behind battery, about page, and download mode all say N910F, the same as the version of TWRP is supposedly for, I have flashed both 3.0.1.0 and 3.0.2.0 of TWRP using Odin with the same result, error 7 on all attempts of installing a ROM. The ROM I'm trying to install is the Resurrection Remix ROM for 6.0.1 TRLTEXX, but others have the same error.

I'd rather not experiment considering it still boots into touchwiz fine.
Hi everyone, I owns a Black, Made in China variant Mi A1, bought it almost 10 months ago so it's in brand new condition.
A night I was using it as regular, watching YouTube, It suddenly restarted automatically, and stuck on 'Android One' boot animation.
I wasn't doing any heavy or intensive task, was not having any issue except storage full. The device is on official stock rom and on June security patch with Android 8.1.
I've tried >?1. Apply update from ADB in recovery mode with June update, which gave me -> E: footer is wrong. E: signature verification failed. Installation aborted
>?2. Apply update from SD card with the same update as above, which gave me -> Couldn't mount SD card
Bootloader is locked, USB debugging is off, no custom recovery installed.
Is there any way to make it work again without erasing user data? I'm familiar with all kinds of Command Line Interface and with almost every tech term. Any help would be appreciated.?
I think only Miflash, with first nougat rom works for you. Save user data. Works for me, after I tried Lineage OS.

Hi,
i have also experienced the same issue recently and struggling hard to make it working again.
I have tried with MI flash but u need to have a bootloader unlocked as well. If not, flashing will not start.

Without reason? Probably THIS is the reason. I think your problem is related to data partition and a flash with Miflash can't help you. Only a factory reset can solve this.

Can you describe what in the data partition caused this? Because I've been using this device with 90% storage filled for months??*.
And I've factory reset the device as there was no other ways to make it work again but still I want to know what was the cause of the problem.

When memory is almost full R/W errors can occur.
Maybe 90% you see is not including temporary-swap files, so that you are dangerously close to 100% storage filled.

I have just softbricked my Mi A1 and need to flash the official rom with MiFlash, problem is that I can't find the right file to flash. Any tips to where I can download the official firmware? I'm looking for the zipped version, not an image. MiFlash can't read the images I've downloaded so far.

Here are some of the links where you can find the official rom in .zip format. Check if they are compatible with MiFlash tool-
