Good evening I write for the first time here, first excuse my English but I am French. then I own a samsug s8 +, with box and warranty. I wanted to root this s8 as I did on my s7 but I made a mistake, wanting to reset it original I restored the EFS of my s7. I have tried everything but the serial number of my s8 is now that of my s7 .oem is active and malgrates restore via odin "dm verity error" the SAV asks me a lot of money, you have an idea before I throw?
thank you very much
Can you link the info on how you successfully rooted your s7? There are different methods, so need to know your personal choices. (Please include phone specs)
We'll see if we can't get us back to normal.
After the efs was lost (if it was the case) you could have tried to flash a fully stock S8 ROM and it was a chance that it recovered by itself. How did you try to root your S8+ and what variant is it?
Anyway, it is more than likely that the warranty is no longer valid right now.
Just flash the original firmware and it should be ok. Man how could you flash your s7 EFS on s8 XD

2 years ago I buy my galaxy s4 unlocked version from amazon.com. When I came back to Turkey I registered the Cellphones imei. After that I rooted my galaxy s4. I watch lots of tutorials and most of it did not work out. At the last try I was able to root my device. After a year my uncle bought me a gear 2 neo which needed a higher version of android. So i plug my galaxy s4 and updated trough kiosk. The result was my galaxy s4 was mys galaxy s4 lost its root acsess was gone and system was updated. Also most of the apps first run and then give a error. For example i downloaded can knockdown 3. First it worked fine then it stopped working. One of my friend suggested I need to downlad a rom and suggested cyanogenmod. I tried one button installer but it said the device is not supperted for this installer. But my phone is listed in the supported devices(GTI9500). Please help me. My cellphone is slowly dying. Also last thing. They say making a change on the phone sometimes deletes the imei registiration.
Just perform a factory reset and your issues will probably be resolved. If you want root again just flash cf auto-root.
I have done it and it hasn't changed. Still the same issues.

Sounds like your phone may have been corrupted when installing official firmware on top of the root. I would recommend re-flashing your phone with official stock firmware. You can use this website to obtain a stock firmware for your device model
http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/
Your imei should not be affected if you re-flash your phone, however just to be on the safe side you can flash a recovery mod such as TWRP Recovery and back up everything such as your efs which contains your imei baseband in case a re-flash causes your phone to not work on cell networks in Turkey (which I'm guessing is not the country your phone was purchased in.) After you have backed up everything in TWRP to your sdcard you can safely reflash stock firmware.
I need help with restoring samsung galaxy s7 SM-G930P to its original state. My main goals is to unlock SIM card and that i can use KNOX and OTA. I bought it as a used phone,wich was showing "custom" and unlock sign when it boots up. But in system,it was saying that its SM-G930V. KNOX warranty is still 0x0,i flashed it with SM-G930P firmware and that locked my SIM card. And when i tried usink KNOX it said that because of custom os being installed i cant use it. Is there any way to bypass that and to use official samsung updates,becouse they are also not working. And also Android secret codes are not working. I tried flasing again and did not help. Model is with snapdragon processor and also software is showing slightly different IMEI from the DEC code on the back of my phone. I used IMEI online converters and found out the difference. Any help is appreciated.

I was thinking about triangle away but phone,obviously is not rooted. Anything would help. Even if it cant be returned,so i dont search for answers anymore. If nayone needs more info,in glad to give. And,will that IMEI difference be a problem in some cases? You guys know more than me
I was trying to root my at&t s6 edge+ using Odin. As soon as the process completed, my phone froze on Samsung screen. Then I tried wiping cache and data but nothing worked. I downloaded few stock ROM for Odin but flashing keeps on failing. I read in some thread that new Samsung devices do not support downgrading. I went and checked my current build number and found that to be G928AUCS4CPK1. However, the firmware I was trying to flash were older version.
Has anyone experienced similar issue before? The main problem here is I cannot find the exact build number anywhere. I spent a lot of time searching and finally decided to post here.
Your valuable suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
hey man, you flashed an older version of the firmware? even if it wasnt bricked, your phone is essentially useless now. the efs is gone, meaning you cant make phonecalls or connect to wifi at all. sorry; your phone is bricked. perm.
download mode dosen`t work ?if so the only thing you can try is to use samsung kies to restore your phone but don`t know if that works
I done something similar to my standard S6 Edge the only difference was i was able to start it up ok and i thought everything was ok until i realised i had no reception. I so happened to notice my imei number was gone. I had no back ups of the partition that saved this info so i totally bricked my phone.
I did however find a website that would be able to do a work around ( for a fee of course) for it however it does question your morals as its essentially illegal in alot of countries. I dont want to post anything on here so if you want any info send me a PM.
Exact same thing happened to me... went to AT&T repair center but they didn't have the 'K1' firmware..
anyhow managed to find the latest firmware (gsm-firmware.com)... cost me $4, but the phone is up and running... I only flashed the AP file.. also used Odin 3.12.5..
Hi guys,
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G950F
I was given this phone by a friend of mine who attempted to install factory binary or something or rather.
He can not recall exactly what he attempted to do, however.... This is the condition it is in now..
I have no clue where to even begin with it.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Drew.
Blind bet is that freund is finished with this phone if doesn't go to download mode.
Your are need to download official firmware from Sammobile and flash it through odin .
First thing is to see if odin detects it in download mode.
Ive managed to get an almost bricked s8 at least alive and kicking a few days ago by reflashing *only* the AP file (stock 8.0 XSA from Sammobile) which at the very least got me around the locked bootloader issue. Its just killed the IMEI in it.
In a couple of days ill get another shot at restoring it to full funtionality but ive already replaced it anyway so its most likely only going to be used for DeX now.
Ive had no responses to my post so meh.
Which exact one did you use Funkymonkey..?
Thanks in advance.
Hi guys
So I recently (4 months ago) bought a secondhand Samsung Galaxy S8 device (SM-G950N) . The phone was simlocked to Korean Telecom KTC (probably because it was bought in Korea I would assume), I wanted to factory reset the phone, so that I could use it for myself. It then asked me for Google info and such, which I wasn't provided with when I bought the phone (Stupid me!) So I searched Google for a way to bypass Google Frp, which lead me to a YouTube video with positive comments and tons of likes. It wanted me to flash something called 'Factory Binary' (it looks like a testing tool for developers) onto my phone through Odin, so that I could enable USB debugging. And everything went smooth, until I had to flash a firmware appropriate for my phone. I was lead to SamMobile to get the firmware update for my model, but sadly there wasn't any PDA for my device specifically (SM-G950NKOU2ARH1). I was supposed to flash a firmware to my phone, so that I could "Enable OEM Unlocking" (which I probably should've done before resetting the phone - now, I understand why people on forums always mention to enable Oem beforehand) and then resetting the phone 100%, but now I'm stuck with Factory Binary, OEM Unlocking disabled and no way of flashing any recovery or firmware to my phone without the 'FRP verification locked' message in Odin.
I've tried TWRP flashing (Recovery Image) but can't process with OEM unlocking disabled.
I created an account in here, in hope for some help with my problem.
Sorry for my English!
Best regards,
Krayzieridah
