Aight, I have S7E G935F and I wanna sell the phone. I wanted to unroot the phone, so I installed stock firmware through ODIN. I added AP, CP and CSC. I didn't add BL 'cause it gave me an error (sw rev check). Now I can't open S health for example, because it says it doesn't work on rooted phones, even though root checker says I don't have a root. Halp?
You need to flash the newest firmware for your phone CSC. That means including CSC. Newest firmware would not give you that error.

Ok so here's my issue
For a very long time since the G930U firmware was available to install, I've been using that. Well I decided to want to get my phone unlocked for GSM using those services but it needs Stock Firmware.
So I tried to restore to the latest G930P firmware and ODIN is giving a Volume size error for the system.img.ex4. I've tried now a couple different firmwares and no luck. Any idea?
The latest Firmware is PH7 I don't recommend it. PG1 on down are good to go. Extract zip stock firmware to a folder and add it in to Odin all the slots accordingly. BL AP CP CSC the last slot CSC is HOME_CSC not CSC_SPT and start flashing. It always works for me.
I ended up figuring it out. I had to find the stock G930P .PIT mapping's and re-partition because G930U ended up changing the sizes.
Oh good to know. Thank for sharing
Why do you not recommend PH7 update? I've heard it helps with battery life.
Could you share the pit file you used. I tried the same thing with a pit file i found online how ever since the pit i am able to flash bootloader but unable to flash system.ext4. Odin gives me a "failed (auth)" and neyjer the 930u version or the f2 or any of the other stock roms wont flash.... Help please
Don't you just love it when people "figure it out" and then don't share how? lol
Here... Since nobody gave you this. This may not be your problem.

Hi,
I tried to flash a stock firmware today using odin, however it failed. On my phone it says custom boot binary blocked by fap lock, but i am flashing stock firmware only. I have never rooted or unlocked the bootloader. Now my phone is stuck in the downloading mode. How do i fix this or successfully flash?
Regards,
I tried everything, now i get a secure lock error?
To recap, i have a g935w08 and i was trying to flash the BTU firmware (G935F) which i downloaded from samfirm, i used all the BL, AP, CP, CSC (used regular CSC) and it refuses to work. I am using odin 3.12.
Who can help me with this?
Try odin 3.11.1 as it says on the download page, failing that, try and flash your original firmware.
Instructions at the bottom of this download page: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/116121/G935FXXU1BPLB_G935FBTU1BPK3_BTU/
I gave up. Could it be due to the fact that i am trying to flash a G935F firmware onto G935W?
yes that's very possible, in your post above you said you have a G935F ?
"To recap, i have a g935F and i was trying to flash the BTU firmware"
@Seanie280672 I have updated it now. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Hi, I purchased an S7 Edge duo G935FD that was from Nigeria (CSC code ECT). It was running on Android 6 when I booted so I upgraded to 7 through OTA and checked Knox which showed as 0x0. I live in the UK and am with EE network, so i decided to flash the EE stock firmware to enable OTA and VoLTE (see download link below). The EE CSC code (EVR) did not show in my available CSC on the original firmware.
I downloaded and flashed the second to most recent EE firmware, so i could test OTA. The EE firmware is for the single sim version of the phone but I have read on this forum that the single sim firmware can be flashed to the duo. I flashed BL, AP, CP, CSC using Odin. I didn’t select re-partition.
The phone booted fine but the knox count had tripped to 0x1. I received notification of an OTA update but the OTA update failed (it downloaded and the phone rebooted, but the file did not take for some reason and i received an error message).
I then re-flashed the firmware but this time I selected re-partition in Odin. Everything worked and the OTA was successful.
How did I trip knox? I don’t want to make the same mistake in the future. Was it because i didn’t re-partition the phone on my first flash?
Many thanks
The firmware I downloaded: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/...U1DQE7/168839/
I have a Galaxy S8 and want to downgrade andriod to v8.0.0.0 (before march 2018) or andriod 7 if 8 is not possible.
The current firmware version i have is G950FXXU4DSE4 and i cant seem to figure out what firmware i need.
From the guid i was following all i need is the AP of a previous version and to flash it using Odin.
The firmware is reported as German(BST) so i tried flashing some firmware that meets that requirement:
G950FXXU1CRAP
G950FXXU1CRC7
G950FXXU1CRB7
G950FXXU1CRD7
But they all failed. I read that its to do with the boot loader version but i have tried just the AP, AP + BL and AP, BL, CP and CSC.
Using only the AP i get an error on the phone "Kernel Rev Fail. Device:4, Binary:1" (its either 3 or 4 for device) and trying to include BL just instantly fails on Odin (same error on phone)
Does anyone know the name of the firmware i need or how to downgrade to the v1 bootloader.
I am looking for Stock Rom (no root) as root causes issues with some apps that i need to use (like banking) and even majisk cant bypass the checks for them.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you cant downgrade due to anti roll back 5th digit from far end is your bootloader revision your on a 4 so you must flash a revision of 4 or higher
My device got FRP locked and so I used Odin to flash the official firmware from Sammobile and now I have T mobile menus like personal hotspot in my settings apps even though my device is the Wi-Fi only tab A 2016.
Here's how I got here:
I flashed the correct firmware, and in Odin I flashed the ap file, that's all. It succeeded but when installing updates, it said no command and went to the stock recovery. I factory wiped and rebooted.
How do I get rid of the T mobile menu's?
Any help would be appreciated
FIXED: Reflash in Odin with BL and CSC file
Same
I got the same problem, fixed it by flashing ap and csc
I live in the US and chose the XAR version from Frija
Now my lockscreen doesn't work, how do i fix it?
