Its not necessary to flash stock, simply reflashing the engboot will suffice, and does not wipe the device.

First of all you wanted to Flash SuperSu.... Did you enable Android Debugging.... Then check OEM Unlock?
If not you messed up there...
Next You need use Odin to flash CF-Root. You are now running a patched Kernel and SuperSU
Use TWRP app to install twrp for your device.

i have the same exact problem, been trying to flash stock firmware but cant get it to work. help please!!!! which firmware? can i get a link please!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, having same issue. Didn't realize you can only make backups with flashfire, not actually flash them back with the program too...
I have the original files I installed with Odin, are one of these the engineering boot file? (BL, AP, CP, CSC?)
Or are you talking about something else...? Thanks!

You flash the engboot file you used to root the device, the one you placed in AP and is around 20 mb in size (not the actual firmware) .

Cant boot, cant eneter recovery after flashing TWRP

hello everyone, my galaxy s8 was on stock rom, it was rooted with odin and super su, i made a mistake....
i installed twrp and wanted to flash it, it said that that it all flashed correctly, when i rebooted the phone it got stuck on the galaxy s8 logo, wont turn off and wont enter recovery mode, only thing i can do is enter download mode.
i tried to do whats written in this topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/stuck-bootloop-flashing-aqg5-fix-t3636857
im not 100% sure of my firmware version, its the one that came out with galaxy s8 when it launched 6.1 or 7.1
so i download the BL file to use it in odin, i tried the 1AQF7 and 1AQG7 also 1AGDG...
nothing helps, whenever i enter download mode and press START on odin with BL file added and straight away after pressing start hold down the volume down, plus bixby plus power i get the writing in odin NAND write start, i can never get beyond that, does that mean no matter how fast i try pressing all 3 buttons down, bixby and power i will never be able to fix the boot? or am i to slow?
can i push the needed file to fix the bootloader with ADB?
what else can i do now? is it anyhow possible to fix the boot, or if not to somehow please recover the data and transfer it to my pc memory? and start from scratch again with the phone as a last solution.
thank you all so much for your help in advance, been trying all day to fix it with odin, but no luck.
when i enter download mode this is written on my screen, maybe it helps:
odin mode
download speed:fast
product name: sm-g950f
current binary: custom
system status: custom
fap lock: off
oem lock: off
secure download: enabled
CCIC=S2MM005 hw: 6 boot 7 main:35
WARRANTY VOID 1 (0x0500)
RP SWREV: B:1 K:1 S:1
DID =0077ce53b1c2
EVT 1.1
LOT_ID=NBV09
rest is chip id etc which i think cant help anything.
thank you all once more

i do not think you will b able to recover or boot back into android but you should be able to flash an official firmware using odin to get your phone up and running again.
you should always back up important stuff on your phone before attempting any flashing

How about using Odin to 'dirty' flash the exact firmware last working on your phone? For "dirty", I meant flashing home_csc which doesn't force a data wipe.

[Q] Cant flash Stock rom anymore

Hello everybody,
I got a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935F) DBT version and flashed a Custom ROM (Firmware? idk the difference).
I did that like this: youtube.com/watch?v=_1ofpLHMVvA
Unfortunately there were a few problems there, like the camera is awful now (Bad quality and other camera apps didnt made it better).
So now I want back my Stock ROM. (Yes, Unfortunately I didnt made a Backup)
But I cant get it back, neither with TWRP or with Odin.
At Odin its stops at system.img and fails than and at TWRP I guess I used the wrong Rom because is said Zip file is corrupt!.
The following Stock ROM did I use for Odin and TWRP: updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=2A12F0CE03CD11E7963AFA163EE8F90B
At Odin I unziped it and added it the right way: (BL, AL, CP and CSC).
At TWRP I didnt unziped it and used it like it is.
I hope you can help me there.
I have already made the following:
Changed USB Port
Changed USB cabel
Used Smart Switch
And yes, I can still install custom roms like LineageOS and Resurrection easily via TWRP.
Greetings, Darkatzu.

It is, because you will need no verity opt encrypt to flash too alongside official stock rom in order to use stock rom if you rooted by system modification method, with oreo 8.0 I think no verity zip is not working, so you need to flash latest nougat for your country/region alongside twrp , no verity zip and super su, you can download latest stock firmware for your region from samfirm application or updato, also download odin version 3.13.1, latest twrp recovery, super su and no verity opt encrypt from here on xda forums, first check and enable oem unlock, flash stock rom and then flash twrp through odin, then boot in twrp recovery and flash no verity and super su zips, to get detailed info on above steps search the forums. AND PLEASE TELL WHATS ASKED IF YOU WANT TO GET HELPED.
!! NOTE : IF YOU ROOTED FIRST TIME BY SYSTEM MODIFICATION METHOD, AND THEN INSTALLED CUSTOM ROM, THEN FLASHING STOCK ROM BACK WILL PUT YOU ON A DM VERITY ERROR. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO ENABLE OEM UNLOCK IN DEVELOPER OPTIONS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!
HAVING OEM UNLOCK DISABLED AND THEN ROOTING VIA SYSTEM MODIFICATION METHOD, AND THEN FLASHING STOCK ROM WILL PUT YOU IN A HARD BRICK SITUATION WITH BOTH DM VERITY ERROR AND CUSTOM BINARY BLOCKED ERROR !!
As far as I know the above situation has no solution if you get into this mess and only a memory swap on board or some box can fix this. I know many users here on xda are stuck on this situation. Some users said they fixed this by using nand erase all and re partition using pit file options during flashing in odin, but I really doubt enabling these options will solve this if not making problems worse. Anyone is welcomed to correct me if the above situation has any solution. BUT THAT IS WHY SYSTEMLESS ROOT IS THERE TO AVOID ALL THIS...

Maybe you are using an older bootloader ? Can't say for sure whats causing it, the method you used above I think required system modifications, but you are using a march 2017 stock rom, so it looks updato don't has V2 bootloader firmwares for DBT, problems may happen when flashing an older bootloader on a newer one, it could also be your pc or other hardware problem, but in case try again and download samfirm from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3803841
Enter DBT as your region and model SM-G935F , it will download the latest stock available, be sure option for auto decrypt, check crc32 and binary nature are ticked.
After that check oem unlock and usb debugging is enabled and follow the steps :
1. Put phone in download mode, use original usb cable, and make sure pc usb port is working correctly. Also phone must be charged above 50%.
2. Download odin 3.13.1 from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4431597&d=1519662712
Latest twrp available https://eu.dl.twrp.me/hero2lte/twrp-3.2.1-1-hero2lte.img.tar.html
Latest no verity opt encrypt https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip
Latest stable super su https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip
3. Put phone in download mode, extract the firmware downloaded above from samfirm tool and put the respective files in their boxes, use CSC and NOT HOME_CSC. Make sure no option other than F.reset time is ticked in odin options. Begin the flash procedure. After it is completed, don't reboot and place twrp zip downloaded from above in the AP tab of odin. After it is completed, stay in download mode and hold power+home+vol down to reboot from download mode and immediately switch to vol up button to boot in twrp recovery menu.
4. In twrp recovery menu, you need to swipe for system modifications or tick read only ( if you previously allowed for system modifications then you can do it again it doesn't matter, but if you previously didn't swipe for system modifications then tick read only and download systemless zip from https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/samsung-systemless-devbase-encryption-t3517178 )
I will recommend this as you won't need to flash dm verity.
5. Now, go to wipe> format data in twrp recovery, after its done, flash super su and system less zip through twrp to get system less root if you don't want to get dm verity error hassle when flashing stock roms OR flash super su and no verity opt encrypt if you already have allowed system modifications. After that reboot. It may take sometime.
Also to note if you never allowed system modifications before in twrp, and you don't want to root either, then you can safely flash stock without flashing twrp or going through further steps.
This is what I could best explain according to my limited knowledge, if you still fail to flash stock in odin, then I am not sure it may be your pc or other hardware problem and you may need a repair box, try checking on another pc or some expert user to help. Good Luck.
These steps are only for installing stock rom back on previously rooted S7 edge devices using custom roms and for rooting a stock rom.. and only applies to SM-G935F

Sorry I couldn't be much help. Does it always stucks in odin at system.img? Looks like its a hardware problem in your pc/usb ports or phone's usb jack. Try getting your phone checked by a repairer, flashing from another pc or changing usb cable. Also try running odin as an admin or try with an older odin version. Good Luck

And yes, I changed PC 2 and yes tryed other versions of Odin LIKE where AP is named as PDA.

Strange thing if you could flash recovery but not the stock rom, looks like you need to get it checked by a tech. But as a last resort did you tried using pit file and repartition ticked? To get the pit file extract the CSC file and you will find .pit file there, open pit tab in latest odin and select that pit file, then tick repartition box and proceed to flash with all other files selected in their respective boxes. If its still the same then I guess I can be of no more help. Cheers !
!! Warning : Using pit file is never recommended and it could brick your phone permanently if there is any power outage/usb disconnection during flashing with pit, it is used to correct file system partitions if they are changed/corrupted. Its better to outweigh benefits with potential danger. Also a pit file will erase all partitions first, then write flash data from beginning and if you again stuck at system.img when using pit file, you will be left with a permanent brick. So I will recommend to get it checked by a tech if you want stock rom that bad and don't do any risky thing with your pricey phone

Galaxy S7 Edge G935F (Exynos) bricked ?

Hello xda Community,
it's me again but this time in the S7 Edge section.
I have a very big problem. I have a Galaxy S7 Edge and I think it's bricked.
The Phone won't turn on and I'm not able to enter the recovery mode but the download mode is working.
I have tried to flash the Oreo Stock Rom but this didn't worked. Moreover I've tried to flash the TWRP recovery but this failed too
I get errors like Kernel Rev check fail device or sw rev check fail Bootloader.
I should mention that the FRP Lock is ON
Please help me guys I thank you all for the ideas
PS: I'm very sorry about my English. I know, it's not perfect :laugh:

Your stock software should match with mobile type .If they are same it wont be a problem..

I did the same thing but i managed to get it working by flashing TRWP again through odin. It would also be better if u copy over a custom rom aswell using the adb push command in terminal because i accidentaly set off DM verity.

you can try https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/how-to-remove-frp-lock-guide-t3855793

I had this exact same problem a month back, I forgot to enable OEM unlock and I faced the same issues.
I downloaded the very latest stock rom at the time, and it was the 1st November security patch version. Try that and let me know.

Go to grifofdev and then ask the admin.He is a helpful person and will solve your problem..

So i have already searched for a solution but all of those require a computer and a total hard reset of my phone. Which i don't want to. Because i don't want to lose all of my apps etc.
Is there a way i can bypass this frp lock? Without any major reset?

I am on stock ROM with root, but recovery isn't stock its twrp.
I installed twrp back in 2017 to make backups.
Luckily i made a recent 2019 backup.

Ok, so i have tried to flash twrp with odin. At first it looks like its flasing. But then suddenly it says FAIL! in red collor! On my PC
And on my phone in Odin screen it shows me a message.
"Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked by FRP Lock
So what do i do now?
Cant start the phone , cant acces twrp..

Then there’s no option other than restoring your phone to factory state.

Okay, thats ok. Most of my new data is on my sd card.
Just one question, i have never done a hard reset with this phone.. Where do i find a stock Samsung a5 2016 europe rom to flash? And a tutorial?

For steps its pretty easy
Just download the zip extract it
Open Odin and in the AP section select the file
Make sure your phone is connected to pc in download mode
And start the flashing wait for it to complete

Just an update for future users passing by.
So basically everything went ok. Even better then ok!
I used Odin to flash a ROM which i found on Updato.. Used the PHN ROM version.
And surprisingly it didn't erase anything of my phone. It just gave it an update. Everything is the same again, data is intact, apps are still there. But with some updated apps from Samsung itself. I guess they included some security patches too.
Previously my phone wouldn't be able receive OTA updates, because it would say. You phone is modified/rooted or something like that.
Seems to me that flashing, updated everything without losing anything.
Good, couldn't be happier. Thanks again!.
