Is your phone still working? Which firmware is actually installed? Which firmware you want to flash?

Yah.. were the same.. there are two new update on grand prime XTC Philippines (open line) but cant flash in odin. And also can not update the device in OTA. Please help.

This device have secure bootloader, so might be the reason u cant flash updated firmware, only OTA update. IMO need to unlock bootloader first if wanna success flash through odin.
Until now, the way to unlock this device bootloader is unavailable.

To upgrade the device is not necesarry to download the firmware of the respective region, u can flash any version of firmware for another regions, the only need to know is the respective version of firmware is for your device only that, i have flashed many firmware in my prime without issues ever from other regions ( most actual than my original region ) and y device is working ike a charm

Have you rooted the phone?

Can u elaborate what means.of.respective version please? u said that u flash many firmware for ur prime, which.one firmware have u been flashed successfully @tutibreaker

Hello guys I have solve this issue by flashing different firmware I used Nepal firmware. XTC firmware is corrupted.
You can use different region firmware if your phone is openline.

no i dont flash many versions in my device, just flash the latest update from other region and works fine, the region is not important

Hey, same problem here. I can't flash any firmware. Odin just errors: Failed [Auth].
And since I've rooted my Grand Prime, I'm not able to update it via OTA
What am I supposed to do?!
Recently I've faced some lags on my phone that I don't know why, but I think I need to update my firmware.

What firmware did you flash? If its XTC then you should try other region firmware like Malaysia or Indonesia. XTC firmware is corrupted.

You have to flash exact soft for your region and phone. Grand Prime have many versions so you must select right one. In East Europe there is no secure bootloader or maybe I haven't encountered it yet. If you have secured bootloader so probably it's gonna be same like Sony or HTC. You'll have to unlock it. I can't say where

Just open your odin then firstly do not connect your device before . Add the files to AP first and then you can connect your device into odin or that firmware you've download did not match .

And did you solve that problem guys?

The order did not do any difference. Why should it do?!

Before a chance the rom, I rooted my cellphone by this way
[ androidxda. com/root-samsung-galaxy-grand-prime-sm-g530h ]
It worked!
As someone said here, I should need to unlock the bootloader, I looked for I solution and I find this one
[ techtudo. com.br/dicas-e-tutoriais/noticia/2014/07/como-destravar-o-bootloader-de-um-dispositivo-android.html ]
this site is in portuguese-Br
it did not work
so, I installed samsung kies, and odin 3.04. And also didn't worked.
Now, I installed CMW recovery
[ mediafire .com/download/w0gzfrq7xtvztdr/Galaxy+Grand+Prime+CWM+Recovery.zip ]
still the same
finally, I downloaded odin 3.10.6, and instal a rom from india. As I find here [ droidviews .com/install-android-5-0-2-lollipop-firmware-on-galaxy-grand-prime-sm-g530h/ ]
Before I was trying Russia's rom.
After all, I noticed, and I read here, that depends on firmware which I was intalling

Updating S6 EDGE+ G928F

Hello , i am trying to update my device to 6.0 but everytime i click update now i can see a new loading tab "Registering device" followed by "Processing failed." and sometimes "Registration Failed. " It is brand new , not rooted with the stock rom . The internet connection is good , i tried to wipe out the cache and i even did a factory reset . What should i do ? thank you

Just download the correct firmware from sammobile and use odin to flash it. You should be able to get around that issue by using this method.

No not at all, knox will stay 0x0 and your warranty will be retained. I can confirm this becuase i flashed the poland marshmallow firmware on my g928f and used it for like a month and then flashed the uk marshmallow firmware and knox is still not tripped. Afaik flashing the correct stock samsung firmware using odin will not trip knox and you should be all good.

i downloaded the build for my country . however the build number differs and there is no 6.0.1 firmware with my build number : XXU2AOL2 . can i flash it like that?

If your phone is unlocked and is indeed a g928f you can use an unlocked firmware including Poland(XEO) and UK(BTU)/(XEU) firmwares.
You can flash this marshmallow firmware if your phone is unlocked/ sim free. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/67513/G928FXXU2BPB6_G928FXEU2BPB6_XEU/
Make sure you wipe your phone before and after the odin flash.
DO NOT FLASH THIS FIRMWARE IF YOUR PHONE IS NOT UNLOCKED.
if your phone is locked to a carrier then you need to flash the carrier specific firmware for your country and depending on marshmallow availability you may have to wait for your carrier to release it.

Is this the right file to use for updating my phone? I guess I am using Flashfire for updating without losing root? I want to keep the CSC and any other relevant config the same because I will be using this phone in the middle east.
I would appreciate you guys input on whether I should go ahead and also a good tutorial for updating without losing root.
Thank you!

Hey there! G935F is single sim version while G935FD is dual sim version. Seems you have got a single sim. F versions will work for you.
Regarding root. When you flash a new firmware file then you will lose root but that's okay you can again root it again. Just like u did first time.
I would suggest you to go with Odin to flash a file.
you can find the tutorial here:

Thank you for the quick reply @iamansar, I in fact have the Duo version. Will the file suggested by SamFirm work for my phone? (not mess up the dual sim, keep CSC as XSG?). Also regarding updating without losing root, I believe you are suggesting to flash FW using odin then redo the TWRP and Su steps?
Thank you!

I apologise, I didn't see that you mentioned that yours is G935FD w/ XSG.
It seems you can flash G935F file to FD phone and the firmware will recognise it as dual sim and you will get those features.
About root, well I must say I haven't tried rooting my S7 Edge yet at least till its covered under warranty.One thing for sure if while flashing stock firmware, you lose root privileges and you will have to root again.
You can use this latest firmware.

Have you tried connecting your phone with smart switch in you PC/Laptop with Windows/Mac? As you don't plan on flashing some other country firmware, I would suggest you can go ahead update you phone from there. This what I did today, Mine is XSG as well.

Thank you for the link. I have not tried doing so since my phone is currently rooted and I am afraid trying to update it officaly might mess up my phone. Also, if I flash the file you linked me using Odin, will I lose the TWRP?

Yes! you will. So, Instead of using Odin , It'll be better to flash the firmware using FlashFire as suggested in this tutorial, if you don't want to lose TWRP.

J500f (TGY) NO MARSHMALLOW Update

Hi guys my phone j500f (TGY) modele has no update to 6.0.1 .
So my qiestion is how to change csc to (INS) to get marshmallow update.
I already tried flashing another multi csc rom with odin, if failed with : Fail! ( Size!)
Thank you.

Flashing firmware from different region/carrier via Odin should work as long as its the same model which is SM-J500F. There's no need to change your csc. You can choose firmware from any region/carrier from this link: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-J500F&rpp=15&order=date&dir=desc&exact=1
---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------
If none of the firmwares worked, it could be that your bootloader is locked or it doesn't support marshmallow since there's no marshmallow update for your region.

As I said before, it could be that Samsung (or your carrier) decided to lock the bootloader for your region to prevent you to upgrade to marshmallow, I'm not sure why they did that tho. Just like what they did to J500H, they locked the bootloader for marshmallow so anyone who upgraded their device to marshmallow cannot downgrade again to lollipop anymore.

Firmware change on S7 edge.

Hello everyone. I'm new here. I wanted to know if I can change my S7 edge (exynos) sm-g935fd firmware from UAE to India. I am currently on Oreo G935FXXS8ETCA Xsg which has bootloader 8 if I'm not wrong, but I want to install ins firmware G935FODD7ETA1 also Oreo which has bootloader 7 . Is this switch possible?
P.s. I want to change firmware bcoz I am not getting volte on my phone. I've tried a few things without any luck. And the only solution seems to be to change my CSC. Any help will be appreciated.

As far as I know you can't downgrade due to antirollback protection. I don't imagine switching firmwares would work very well at all

It not a rollback technically it's more of a sideways move but I might be wrong. Is it because of the older bootloader on the firmware I want to switch to?

If you attempt to switch your bootloader to an older version it can cause a hard brick putting the device into EDL mode but I do believe you can switch the system a bit

So there is no way to change the firmware? Is there any way I can get volte

You should be able to swap the system partition and CSC to something else as long as your not in any kind of Android Verified Boot

I don't know what that is. But I've only been using stock ROMs from ota updates. My phone isn't rooted either. I just want to activate volte on my phone. I would really appreciate if you could help me.
Btw thanks for the prompt replies.

You're absolutely welcome! I'll have a search around Google and maybe point you into the right direction. I'm sure there is a flashable firmware for Odin (combo-firmware) that enables this
EDIT:
Because your on an International chipset (Exynos) you can actually flash a custom OS which supports the Volte. Just ensure you've taken the steps to unlock the bootloader through the developer options in settings (enable OEM unlock)

Don't unlock your bootloader and dont root your phone
if something goes wrong the EFS patition will corrupt and you are on U8
U7 combination firmware is not available and we dont know when will it will be available
you have to download U8 rom and flash home csc from U7 INS (latest software available for India)
it will enable Volte on your phone
make sure to tick nand erase when flashing Autoboot and f.reset time

Unlocking and root have nothing to do with the EFS partition. Sounds like you may have did something like modifying it and caused data to be corrupt and you never kept a backup.

once i root my device then after monts i decided to go back on stock
then after some monts i decided to try NFE 9.0 Black Diamond after that i get many errors and made a mistake
6 monts before i didn't know things now i know things like bl and opening and booting phone wihtout bl and many more
its the easiest method to get INS VOLTE on UAE Exynos Model
My phone is running smooth but efs is corrupted that makes S/N No. none and no network
Phone is dead from march
Lets hope for U7 and U8 combination firmware

Thanks for the help. Really
Volte used to work before the Oreo update. And won't a custom ROM trip my Knox? (I use secure folder). I recently tried to flash a stock ROM with modified CSC file to get volte working on my S6 g920f. But it didn't work. It tripped my Knox and now my short codes don't work and CSC shows blank. Calls work though. But no volte.

You can wait for the INDIAN U8 STock and then flash it on your device with Home CSC which will surely enable volte
Remember With Nanderase f.reset time and auto reboot
Don't trip your knox i regret it!!

I would wait too if you trip Knox with a warranty then your SOL. If your lucky you won't be it's best to wait for the firmware

Well I am waiting till there is a stock firmware. But I don't think there will be an official update seeing as it's an old model phone and the official software support is only 2 or 3 years from the company. So fingers crossed. I might flash the ins version and try to make it work if I get a new phone and my S7 will become a spare.

And thanks for the help guys ?.
Now I'm thinking of flashing a custom ROM on my S6. Let's see ....
