Hey I'm on a custom rom for my Galaxy S7 which is originally an AT&T variant however I've had many different firmwares on here. I'm trying to go back to AT&T and the firmware file I'm finding on here is a 7z file. I tried extracting it and even removing the .rar from the end however PrinceComsey Odin doesn't process is farthest it gets is file analysis. Are these just bad files? Am I using the wrong Odin? Am I extracting it wrong? Are there other requirements? I can follow directions just fine and usually it's pretty simple

I have a Galaxy S7 SM-G935FD International Edition which, thru a long sequence of missteps, I have gotten to the point where I can only get to the Samsung Logo Screen or the ODIN download mode (ie. no boot). I flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0-herolte, apparently successfully, by converting the zipped file I found to a .tar and using ODIN 3.10.7 on a Win10PC. But I am unable using any key sequence to get into any TWRP recovery mode - only the two modes above. I tried to convert the Superman rom on this forum to a tar also, but flashing stopped after Aroma at starting NAND write. In my many missteps, what I was trying to accomplish is to debloat and root the phone, at least to gain root access using Android adb. I was able to do this on my previous S6 Edge, but Samsung's vast security barriers have defeated me.
Steps to recover from this mess greatly appreciated ...... hopefully steps I can complete using ODIN ............ thx, Gus

Flash Stock Rom via ODIN.

I was unable to find a stock rom for the international. I found a zipped UK no carrier stock rom. Since ODIN doesn't flash zipped files, I unzipped and saved to a tar file using 7-Zip on Win10. Attempts to flash the tar file using ODIN crashed ODIN on the PC. I'm not sure what's wrong, as I used the same method to flash the zipped TWRP file, and finished with a "success"
I note that I have a message saying kernel is not seandroid enforcing. Somehow I think using ODIN to flash a stock rom is being blocked by some Samsung secutity feature I cannot identify and haven't overcome. Gus
Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3335065 I don't know if you have experience with Odin process. Google it preferably look at YouTube video, if you feel shaky on Odin concepts.

1. "I flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0-herolte, apparently successfully, by converting the zipped file I found to a .tar and using ODIN 3.10.7 on a Win10PC." Reflash this FILE via ODIN coz you flashed wrong one and boot in it. Go to next step if doesn't work.
2. Flash Stock ROM via ODIN. SM-G935FD use the same firmwares that SM-G935F.
Careful with ODIN. Make sure you are running on the latest version, as I myself has problems using it for the Galaxy S7 Edge on an offer version

Lot of confusion please help i want to go back to stock for my gear VR
According to
this thread where i posted photos of my phones INFO
I downloaded N910F( UK BTU) 6.0.1 firmware (.ZIP) file
When i tried to flash using TWRP it says ZIP file is corrupted.
I downloaded it from two website
sammobile
and
samsung.org
both are corrupted(it should not be i think)
When i look into it it has only one file .tar.md5
i tried to extarct it using winrar and it says file is corrpted
\BTU-N910FXXS1DQFA-20170726090446.zip: The archive is corrupt
Although it extracted the N910FXXS1DQFA_N910FBTU1DPL1_N910FXXS1DQA1_HOME.tar.md5
In both files i got the same result same
i dont know what to do now
I tried Odin and it stuck at "there is no pit file partition" or something like that
(yes i wiped out cache and system delvik etc.)
I also tried inserting PIT file but no luck
i would prefer without Odin if possible
As I can go into TWRP recovery
Please guide me or at least answer a few question
1. Is it even possible to flash stock rom using twrp like i flash other roms?
2. Can i install extracted .md5 file from that zip? will it be the same like stock zip?
3. Why my Both zip files are corrpted? your opinion?
4. Should i download again same stock rom?
5. Can / Should i flash or download and /or downgrade Stock firmware (same 6.0.1 )but different release date?
6. Am i downloading the right firmware for my device here is my device details posted??
Lot of confusion please help i want to go back to stock for my gear VR
Based on the amount and type of questions, I believe you need to read up on basic Note 4 flashing/customization knowledge first. Go and read up on the stickies.
Without knowledge and experience, we can tell you how to do a brain surgery, but doesn't make you a surgeon.
No, twrp cannot be used to flash stock rom. Stock rom are most of the time md5 files, used by ODIN only.
Since you downloaded the zip files, use the "Test" function to see if it is corrupted?
Maybe you should just flash a stock based custom rom with VR and be done with it.

==================================================
Check your Winzip version. It may be old and doesnt handle large zipfiles too well. I had the same problem but I know the file was good as I downloaded it at work, and Winzip worked just fine; but when I got home, winzip failed on my pc - old 8.1 version. I used the trial version just fine to unzip.

Did you keep the ROM as a Zip file when you loaded it in to Odin?
Do not unzip the ROM file.
Try again.

Can somebody tell me what's the latest baseband and how to flash it pls?
I flash roms all the time but some of the TW based roms don't give me any mobile network and they usual require a certain baseband. My current one is
I337MVLSGQB1
If the baseband isn't in the https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att section as a flashable zip using TWRP, you'll have to download the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com and flash the baseband extracted from the ROM zip using Odin. That will guarantee the latest baseband gets put on your device.
Thanks for your reply
But won't that just flash the entire firmware causing me to have to unlock and flash recovery and root all over again?
If your phone is unlocked from its carrier, it stays unlocked even if you change ROMs. Also, I misstated what you had to do to get to the appropriate files. After downloading the large file from sammobile, extract it using WinRAR or 7-Zip. You should end up with a .tar.md5 file. Rename that file to .tar, and extract the files within. The two you want are modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin. Those two are then flashed using Odin.
Of course, you could do the adventurous thing and download one of the existing flashable modem zips, then replace the existing modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin in the flashable zip with the versions from the stock ROM package.
Forum for the sgh-i337m is located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att
Oh I downloaded the Bell one and saw the modem.bin but didn't know which other one was needed so thanks
Rogers, Telus, and Bell use the same stock ROM with a bit of customization on the sgh-i337m; therefore, you can cross-flash the modem, bootloader, and system as they are the same.
Oh cool. You've been a great help, thanks for the info
So i updated to QB1 but not getting any cell service when i flash certain i9505 roms like Super Touchwiz v6, Machinex or something like that, Imperium v18.1. Some require QG1.
Would QG1 or any other baseband/bootloader/modem be able to work on my Rogers i337M?
I know this phone usually can flash any rom that is for the i9505 so just wondering if it's able to go that far as to use those as well
I would not cross-flash bootloaders or modems as invalid modem/bootloader combinations may hard brick the phone.
You may need to flash a different kernel when using custom ROMs desgined for the i9505.
Okay
This is the latest OTA Update for all major carriers. THIS WILL UPDATE YOUR BOOTLOADER SO THERE IS NO GOING BACK! I'm downloading, uploading to my Google Drive and posting this here as reference.
And of course, after flashing this in Odin you can go to https://samsung.firmware.science and chose QK5 to whichever Oreo Beta is latest or you can enjoy having the latest flashable update.

Uploaded. I already removed the .md5 off the end of the files, just extract and flash away
How do you go about flashing this? Flashing my S5 there was only one file and you loaded that into the AP slot in Odin. With the S8 software it looks like there are 5 separate files. Do you only flash the AP file or all of them? Also, I tried another firmware that was supposed to be Verizon firmwareand had some cricket and metropcs apps installed. Will this be the Verizon firmware that came with the phone from the factory or is it like the other firmware I downloaded and installed from Sammobile? Thanks for any help on this. Trying to get my phone back to how it was when I took it out of the box.

I Extracted and flashed AP, BL, CP and CSC. Verizon firmware.
The link you posted is dead. Have any other mirrors possibly?
Hi,
I wanted to try LineageOS (19.1), which I did but actually I really want to go back to stock firmware.
Now I'm really having trouble finding out how to do that.
I have no Mac or Windows computer, just linux and I figured I have to use heimdall.
What I already did is
- get heimdall
- download stock firmware image for my country
- bring device to download mode
But then I'm kind of stuck. I printed the pit of the current situation. Then I go to flash and load that pit file, so far so good.
But when it comes to adding the bin and img files I'm kind of stuck at finding the right files.
Could someone please point me into the right direction. I've been googling for hours but I'm really stuck.
Why is installing Lineage OS so much easier? I just had to use adb to flash some zip files during the device being in recovery. Isn't there an equally easy method to go back to stock firmware?
Thank you so much.
