[Q] Unable to flash modem(s)

Hi all, hoping someone can help with this issue;
After rooting and loading CrashRom I had an issue with the pin lock screen not working, followed CR advice and attempted to flash the matching modem as this was the fix. Here's the problem - each time I flash the modem, either via mobileOdin or Odin on PC (tried 1.85, 3.07 & 3.09) recovery states the area it is trying to flash is locked and flash aborted.
Tried to remedy this by changing roms to Omega, didn't work, still have the same modem and same issues trying to flash the matching one (or any other one at that!)
Anyone know why or how to fix this ?!

When you try to flash the modem via odin, you say recovery states it is locked or something, how does it go from download mode to recovery? I have never heard of this before.

Sorry my mistake. Odin flashes and says OK, reboots, does the norm but when you go into settings to check nothing has changed.
Only when using MobileOdin or ZipInstaller - which then goes into recovery to flash - it gives that error

It is normal for mobile odin to say that when flashing the modem, it only works with odin.
Power off the phone. Even pull the battery for 15+ seconds, do the button combo for download mode. Volume down, power and home at the same time, press volume up or whatever it is to get into it. Then use odin v3.09 and flash the modem in the cp section
Modems never seem to update if you don't follow these steps, happened many times to me before. See if this fixes your problem

Run through all of this, a few times, with all variants of Odin. Tried different ways of getting to D/L mode as well too see if that would work (button combo, 300k, 4 way reboot option!).
I'll attempt it again, using your modem as well as pulling one from an original firmware source and post results later tonight.

The 4 way reboot option will not work. Modems seem to only flash when the phone is off and is booted to download mode via the button combo, give it a try as this has happened to me many times before when i have gone into download mode from android without powering off the device.
Edit-
You have the N9005? The link i provided is for this device.

Good choice! Mine came with the BTU CSC. Got work in an hour, let me know if that method/modem works for you.

With the Note you have to flash the modem a few times for it to take.. It's a strange anomaly in Note devices. I've seen threads where people have flashed them 5/6 times before they've even taken properly.

Have you followed this thread?

Specifically points 2 and 12?

Go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.

Problem is I don't think they can actually boot the phone now to get to Dev. Options!
Flash stock via Odin and start again I think following all the steps correctly....

The phone does not boot up anymore so i can not access to enable OEM in point 2

Start from Fresh.
Download the Stock image and attempt to flash via recovery. / Odin
I dont fully understand the OEM Option.
But if its not been enabled and the system has been modified the Device will fail to boot.
You need to unlock the OEM Option.
This is why its worth reading the instructions over and over again and even reading about peoples problems before flashing.
I know my way around android, i have been flashing since android was first around.
Regardless of how well i know things.
I still spent the time reading the threads, Peoples problems, common issues by not reading instructions properly before i even touched my S7.
You will be faced with less issues the more product knowledge you know!
Its better to know more than less
Assuming Smart Switch is the new replacement for Kies (Never used it)
But you may be able to restore the device properly from here.

I gathered that from your error, maybe I should have worded it "Did you follow this thread....."
You will probably have to try to get into download mode several times as I have heard that is is pretty tricky with the error you get but you will get there

what ever i do it always says with green writing CUSTOM BINARY ( RECOVERY) BLOCKED BY FRB LOCK,
I tried to flash twrp-3.0.1-0-hero2lte.img .tar, again same error, and when trying to flash firmware it goes through but it would not boot up and at the end of flash process i get { dm-verity verification failed need to check DRK FIRST on GALAXY S7 edge }

My FRP method this:
Phone G935A, used Firmware G935U (not AT&T bloatware)
Insert prepaid sim 0$, and 0mb internet, but LTE network...
Personalise phone start, and wifi not turn on. Google verification fail, and NEXT button active...
Personalise finish, and turn dev.opt on, oem unlock on, and add the google account.

I have the same problem. I can't root the phone because FRP lock is on but I can't turn it off because I can't get to the OS. I've tried flashing official firmware already.

Smart switch emergency function can bypass the FRP lock and restore the firmware.
IT is a stand alone fuction for phones with FRP problems.
You need your serial number for this to work.
I have been able to fix the frp problem when I flashed my phone but did not turn on OEM unlock.

[SM-G9008W] Stuck at Samsung Logo

I created an account here because I need all your help and I've been crawling all over the internet, but I cannot find anything for my problem.
Whenever I charge my phone, I turn it off, shut it off to be exact so that it charges faster. One morning, I woke up and I booted it up, but it won't get past the Samsung logo. It will stay like that for a while, then it will vibrate and will appear at the same screen again. Also, whenever I put the battery on, a green LED will stay on even though the phone is still not on. I cannot access recovery mode, only download mode. My phone is rooted. It has been once submerged in water but no problems. No custom ROMS, but there is a custom recovery that is INACCESSIBLE. I badly need all your help since it makes me feel bad having a $600 paperweight. I have tried leaving the battery out for weeks and almost a month now. Ask me anything and I will try to answer with what I know.
Thank you and I hope for the best. (Cause it made me really sad. :crying,
Robert

Download a stock ROM from sammobile .com
Download ODIN (download and instructions under the download)
Flash stock ROM with the phone in download mode using ODIN

I cannot access recovery mode. It says "recovery mode is not seandroid enforced" or something similar, then the screen freezes and returns to its original Samsung logo. The process goes on forever.

Yea, so flash a stock ROM first...

Actually my support effort was perfectly adequate, if OP had read and followed the instructions I provided in my first post
I don't enjoy having to post the same thing twice, especially if OP won't even read it once, hence my shortened 2nd post

Hey, I just finished reflashing my phone, its just stuck at Samsung Logo still with 'Recovery booting' at the top, it loops on forever.

UPDATE: I tried to flash a PIT file, the "Recovery booting" is gone but, my S5 still loops and it's green LED is staying strong.

Note 4 failed upgrade and now I only get an error screen.

A month or two ago my Note 4 notified me of a software update being available. I told it to go ahead and install. Once it was looking like it was done and went to reboot itself, I ended up getting a screen that said "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I called Samsung for support and after troubleshooting they told me to take the phone to the Samsung kiosk at my local Best Buy. The employees there were unable to fix it. I contacted Samsung again and they said they could reflash the firmware for a fee of $70.13 which I was willing to pay since I love my Note 4. I sent the phone in with the battery per instructions, waited for repair, and when the phone came back it was not fixed. Included was a message saying it was beyond economical repair. How did they know how much I am willing to spend to fix my phone? Also they did not return my battery. I contacted Samsung and They DID end up sending me a battery, but told me they could not fix my phone since it had been rooted. I know for SURE it had not because I bought the phone BRAND NEW. Now I am stuck with a phone that will only turn on to an error screen and don't know what to do.
This is what appears on the screen.

Go to sammobile and download the latest firmware for n910p.
Download 'Odin' software aswell.
Extract tge zip thatvyou downloaded from sammobile, you will get a .tar.md5 file.
Then, open odin and click on AP button.
Select your n910p..........md5 file.
It will take time to load, leave it alone, the screen will look as if it is not responding but give it a few minutes.
Once the file is loaded, put the phone in download mode (the one that you shared in the image, is called download mode), connect the phone to pc and press the start button in odin.
Leave the phone and pc for 5-10 min.
Once the flashing process is done, the phone will reboot.
Press volume up+home+power buttons al together for 7 sec, the phone will boot into recovery mode, select the fatory reset option with the volume and power keys.
Then sleect 'reboot system'.
Done.
The phone should not take more than 10 min to boot.

Just download the specific firmware from sammobile and flash it via odin.
The first line says, 'odin mode', that means it will be detected in download mode.

Flashbtge revovery firmware from this thread.
Read the instructions carefully.
Reporting Via N910G.

I'm 910C version...
I can flash twrp with Odin and custom rom with twrp....But I can't flash official firmware with Odin..

I can't even get it to turn on now.

My J530F is stuck on Factory Binary mode due to sabotaging the FRP Google bypass.

Hello everyone,
Hope you're having a nice day,
So I Factory Reset my SM-J530F.
When I enter from scratch, it says that I have to write my previous Google Account that was synced to the phone, which I completely forgot.
So I try these FRP bypass methods on YouTube.
Basically these are the steps I followed:
1) Turn off my phone
2) Access the Download mode
3) Sync my phone with my computer
4) Odin: I'd already downloaded the COMBINATION_FAC_FA70 MD5 file (for my model), and this 4-file patch that included the AP, BL, CP, CSC_OLB files (Which I later noticed that they had J530YDXU1AQ written on their descriptions instead of J530FXXU1AQ which is my model, but I thought that it's not too important)
5) I flash with the COMBINATION file. It succeeds.
6) Phone goes to Factory Binary mode.
7) I go to Settings, then Developer Options and I enable OEM Unlocking.
8) Switch off the phone, then back to Download mode
9) Now, I try to flash with the AP, BL, CP, CSC files... and it FAILS. I forgot what it exactly said in the Log since I closed the Odin window, but something about Secure fail : Bootloader.
Now, what I meant by "sabotaging" is that I attempted this so many times, but no results. To the point where I can no longer reboot my phone to its normal "Welcome, choose a language" interface since it's now stuck in Factory/Binary mode.
I noticed one more thing: the OEM Unlocking enable/disable button is sort of freezed (I can't either enable or disable)

I apologize if this was too much details. I'm clueless whether I completely damaged my phone and there is no chance to take it back to its normal state. What do I do? Any options to just repair it from scratch and also bypass the FRP Google Account while I'm at it?
