Hi guys so yesterday I tried updating my phone to the b383 update available on firmware finder, after downloading and restarting the phone the update failed because it could not verify something(not sure what error pop up said) and ever since that every time I reboot my phone it keeps bringing this error that "your phone has failed verification and may not work properly"
Ive tried a factory reset to try and fix it but it still shows the same error
Does anyone know how to fix it? Ild really appreciate the help. Also my device isn't rooted
Fixed it nvm?

Hi Guys,
This morning I was happy to see that my phone had pending updates and thought to myself: Gee Mango is Here!
However as I am trying to update my phone via Zune, I constantly get the following Error:
"Update Error
There was an error while trying to update your device with the latest software. Please try again.
The software mode reported by your phone isn't correct.
To see if there's more information about this error, click Web Help.
Error Code
801812C1"
Now I've tried the various other Mango update methods around the XDA forums but all gave me the same error as above.
I've searched in here but didnt find anything regarding this issue in DVP forums and could not find anything about this error code on Google that occurred with recent updates. (it's similar to a previously documented error on the Samsung 7 where the phone would reboot repeatedly in step 6 of the update process. The fix for that according to a post in the MS forums was to "wait and try again another day".)
Heck I've even done a factory reset on the phone and just tried to update fresh but no go either...
I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas? Thanks in advance for any assistance!
Additional FYI:
Carrier: T-Mobile-Unlocked
And I've just uninstalled/reinstalled Zune to run update again and still no go...
Edit: Just did a CLEAN install of Zune 4.7 on a factory reset unit and now I get "Device driver installation failed" windows error message during Step 6 of the Update process...
I've tried installing the latest update three times, but it keeps failing (it failed at 25% installation the first try and 30% the second try, and 25% on the third). The phone boots up normally and has the message "Failed to update software. Update failed. Your device will recover the original configuration". Has anyone else encountered this, or know how to fix this?

I am manually downloading the firmware right now and will report back. I will also be mirroring the 5.0 firmware for everyone so we have more channels to download it from

I am having the same issue.. Have tried once so far and it failed. On the Galaxy Note III. I will try to see if I can install it manually as well and update this post.
Thank you
Used the Samsung Kies app and updated via my laptop and usb cable. Took a long time but it was successful. Now I am hoping to get writable access to my SD card.. fingers crossed.
UK phone running WAS-LX1AC432B187. I tried to update to B197 using FF, was looking ok but when it rebooted it 'bombed out' with some incompatibility error
The phone still works ok but I need to sell it (got a deal on a P Smart) so how can I get rid of this error message when it boots?
Thanks!
ok tried again, reboots, Installing update....Update success

So I have a SM-G950W (BMC (Bell) originally but using unlocked on RWS (Rogers)) . Nothing has ever been flashed before except for OTA updates.
I upgraded to the Oreo OTA update and my phone got stuck in a bootloop. Ive tried wiping Cache and Factory resetting and no dice.
I decided to flash the official firmware with odin. I downoaded BMC/RWC/XAC and have tried flashing each of those through the newest Odin (1.13.1). This always ends successfully.
On bootup I get to the Samsung logo and the LED blinks red and the phone reboots. This happens indefinitely.
Ive tried wiping factory and cache again after this and it did not help. If I flash the HOME_CSC instead of CSC It gives me an encryption error and wants me to factory reset, after that I get the same red led bootloop result.
Any ideas on what I can do/ Am I missing any steps?
EDIT: Unsure if this is related but in the recovery menu it says this at the bottom:
fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)
Reboot Recovery Cause is [UNKNOWN]

File based OTA
Supported API: 3

Same issue with SM-G950U1
Hi Mike, I have the same issue that you are reporting and in the recovery menu, it says the same as yours at the bottom. I didn't find any solution for having the phone stop rebooting. Please, if you have found any solution share it. I'll do the same if I can get the phone out of the boot looping. What I have done so far is flash the phone with the last official firmware downloaded with SamFirm.
I'm not sure but the problem might be related to the firmware. I'm now downloading an older firmware (with android 7.0) to check if the phone starts ok with that firmware. I'll let you know if I have good news.
Regards!
EDITED:
I found a solution!!
Hey, just want to share how I stopped the bootlooping.
You will need to flash your phone following this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/snap-guide-flashing-standard-fw-carrier-t3627255 and download Firmware from Updato. Do not download the last version of the Firmware, because it will continue doing the bootloop. I've downloaded the following firmware:
Galaxy S8 / SM-G950U1 / 7.0 Nougat(Android ) / December 26, 17
And the phone has started!
Remember to use the last version of Odin from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75703449&postcount=276
If not you will not be able to flash your phone.
Hope you can fix the phone as I have done!
Let me know when you fix it.
Best!
Hey Mike,
You are not alone. Samsung apparently has messed up another OTA again. I have the same issue after Oreo update. Showed my phone to a certified Samsung repair shop and they said they had several people showing up that day with the same issue and they were not able to fix it. The best bet to contact Samsung Customer Support and they will assist you in sending your phone to a repair center.
I hope there was a faster way to fix the issue.
Hey Mike, I have updated my first answer with a workaround to fix the bootlooping. Let me know if it works in your case that I think was the same as mine.
Regards!

can someone help me please
Have you tried HiSuite? My phone seemed to stop updating when I had gone through Firmware Finder in the past, but using HiSuite I picked up an update 2 months ago and more recently an OTA update.
Didn't work, I can't update my phone and I think is because I did something wrong in the past, like unlocking bootloader or something. I can't factory reset too..
