Need help!!! I believe I soft-bricked my Galaxy s8 SM-G950U - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi recently I believe I soft-bricked my Galaxy S8 SM-G950U I was having trouble getting service on it, It would only work on like major roads so I knew something was wrong with it so I tried to get the device fully updated and everything by going in the setting menu in Android and doing it from there It still was doing the same issues. So I went about restoring it with OEM firmware with Odin, everything worked when I restarted it, it was running more smoothly and everything. So since I achieved doing that I was like might as well root it so I installed firmware in Odin then everything messed up I couldn't get into my boot-loader anymore. So I reflashed the stock files that originally worked at first and I was having the same issue. In the bootloader it's on a blue screen I see no command for a second and then it goes to installing updates and the screen keeps on flashing. I believe it's because I reflashed a firmware that had a loader bootloader I believe it was the v2 bootloader. I need the v3 bootloader for ATT galaxy I can't find it on any site preferably all the Odin files needed. Please any expert let me know if you experience this thanks!

Frustrated - Can not unbrick!

Have been using a S5 for several years which I unlocked bootloader and rooted at the beginning. Been running a NI2 firmware with no problems. Decided I wanted to try a Lineage rom and when I tried to flash it, it failed. I wanted to update to later android so I flash a Stock firmware through ODIN and it work fine for several days. For reasons unknown to me I went into recovery again and did a factory reset. Now when I turned on phone this is all I get and it will no longer let me boot into recovery mode. No matter what key combination I push, I just get the following screen:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G900V
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
AP SWREV: S1, T2, A1, A2, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
UDC START
Software Update Failed
etc etc etc
Tried flashing different firmware in ODIN (3.09 and 3.10) and still boot into same
screen with following line added:
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] Fused 2 > Binary 1
Have tried Samsung Switch, Kies and Verizon Software Update to no avail. Have uninstalled drivers and reinstalled several times. Also ADB does not recognize phone.
At wits end - any suggestions appreciated!

You need to install using odin the last update avaliable for G900V. The last update is QF2. Download from updato and flash it..
Tried flashing QF2 and Odin failed again. I did manage to pick up a new in the box S5 and it arrived today. Works great and it is on 6.0.1 DPF4.
Just wanted everyone to know that the phone is now working!! Had not done anything to the phone since last post. Yesterday took it downstairs to an old computer running XP. When I turned the phone one got a surprise, it booted to the Verizon splash screen and stuck there. Installed ODIN on the computer, was able to put phone in download mode and then ODIN worked and was able to flash the DQH2 rom and phone works great. I now have a back up phone!

glad to hear it all worked out! I was in a very similar situation for the past week (S3 to the rescue), but using the latest Odin and the latest update for my VZW S5, I'm back on the S5. Now to search for regaining root....

SM-G906L bootloader + unlocked? Rooted twrp but stuck with bootloader

I've got a rooted Samsung S5 SM-G906L (korean) and I've successfully installed resurrection remix via a twrp flash: V5.6.3-20160212-lentislte.zip
It all went well but when I reboot I now just get "set warranty bit : Kernel" - i think the bootloader is locked
I think my bootloader is locked but after reading many forums I still can't tell whether it's locked AND more important i can't unlock it.
I'd like to get RR working but atm it looks like I need to restore my backup or go to stock firmware (both of which can be done)
Ive tried adm and other suggestions still cant install rom.
In download mode it says:
Odin mode
Qualcom secureboot: Enable (CSB)
Reactivation lock: off
Secure download: enabling

Help!!!!

Samsung S7 Edge Verizon [ SM-G935V ] can't flash official rom.

I have this S7 Edge Verizon which a few days ago gave me a problem. I was using the phone just for a few days.While using it, social media normal stuff it self restarted ( notice that it was pretty hot, but it's a usual thing at this point ) and it got stuck in logo.
P.S: I am really familiar with this kinda stuff because I work at a phone service.
So I tried the usual stuff, wiping cache and data but it didn't solve any thing. So I decided to flash official rom. I downloaded the oreo rom from sammobile and when I tried to flash it, it just skipped all files. I thought this would be due the verizon model, because it's bootloader was locked and oem unlock wasn't enabled. I tried to flash the firmware without the bootloader and with pit but no result. Than I decided to enable oem unlock throught combination file.
When I downloaded combination file, at the website it said G935V but it actually was G935A, and somehow it flashed successfully without any problems. But after reset the phone was stuck at the very first Samsung Logo with some cpu and voltage information at the top left corner with a warning saying RPMB provisioned.
At this point I thought I might as well flash the stock firmware again but this time I got bootloader error and trying to flash it without a bootloader it would skip all files saying something like " skipping all binary files " as before. Bare in mind that during all this testing the phone got really heated. So I let it cool for a while and still nothing happened. Than I decided to flash this boot_root file I found and it actually booted up the Combination Rom. I enabled usb debugging in the settings but there was no Oem Unlock option, not even grayed out ( maybe because the rom G935A does not have the option ).
Even the USB debug enabled it still couldn't flash stock rom because of bootloader error and some binary error also and again if i didn't include bootloader it would skip all files.
I was thinking of installing a custom rom but I found out that there is not twrp avaible for s7 edge verizon because of it's locked bootloader. And if I try to install supersu through adb it just doesn't work.
Now my download section looks like this
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G935A
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
FRP LOCK: ON (don't worrie about it, i got all the gmail info)
WARRANTY VOID: 0x0 (the warranty has expired anyways)
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
RP SWREV: B5(2, 1, 1, 1, 1 ) K1 S4
SECURE BOOT: ENABLE
IDOQ : G(42), S(12) mA
CPU SERIAL NUM : 0x1408501f
Fused open loop voltage: 970mV
RPMB PROVISIONED
The Samsung first boot up screen still has the RPMB PROVISIONED with the cpu information and also the custom flagg and I am able to boot up the combination rom.
I also tried to flash the official rom with z3x but it didn't solve anything. If you need any additional information just tell me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You need to download official firmware from another source. I recommend updato.com.
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=4F3A1B13706611E89F15FA163EE8F90B
You need to flash the latest Oreo firmware for the Verizon SM-G935V because it sounds like your phone has issues with your current bootloader. Go back to the Verizon firmware first and see if the phone works normally. Also, flash the regular CSC file not CSC_HOME.

I too have the same exact problem. Has anyone figured out how to fix this?

How to disable Qualcomm Secureboot on Galaxy S7 Unlocked

From what I've been able to google, this means my bootloader is still locked. If I try to flash with Odin, I get this:.
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)

I know Odin detects the phone, it doesn't seem to be an issue with computer -> phone connection.
turned on OEM Unlock and USB debugging, fired up Odin and my phone is telling me the following when I boot it into recovery:
SECURE CHECK FAIL : recovery
And in Odin, the log looks happy as a clam, then tells me
FAIL! (Auth)
I'm really not sure why this is happening shows OEM Unlock as being enabled. I know Odin detects the phone, it doesn't seem to be an issue with computer -> phone connection.
loop on recovery booting and the phone does not accept any official U or V FW
the error is" unsupport dev_type"
please help me
I think you tried to flash custom recovery? Flash stock rom downloaded from updato, heres the link https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=839E6F7BC66911E89F15FA163EE8F90B
I also noticed you have a 930, this is edge (935) forum
Additionally, you have 930U, Snapdragon device with locked and not unlockable bootloader. If you are attempting to unlock your bootloader by switching OEM Unlock you won't be able to do it since at 21 december 2018 locked Snapdragon S7 bootloader is not unlockable by any known way
I have an sm-935v which has not taken updates since way before dec 2018, it is at baseband 4 (the 5th digit from rt to lft). Does that mean my bootloader is possibly NOT locked? How would u go about checking if it is in fact unlocked? I have already rooted my s7edge using kingoroot. The android version is 8.0.
i have s7 edge g935u qualcom (oreo version) iwant to install twrp but i did not find qualcombased file is anyone help me....?

PIT file missing and FRP lock is ON sm-t580

Dear forum members,
i've a problem with a SM-T580. The PIT partition information is missing and i can't flash it together with new rom using ODIN, because the FRP lock is ON. This wy i'm totally stuck!!! I can't flash PIT file because of the FRP lock and i can't get rit of the FRP lock because i can't flash a PIT file
Who of you bright minds comes with a working solution for my problem..... i would be very grateful.
Thank you for your feedback and hopefully working solution(s)
-Regards,
Mark
Hi together,
any news on this one? I have exactly the same issue. And I never rooted or OEM unlocked my T580. I just applied the official Samsung updates until Android 8.1. But I rarely used the tablet so the battery probably was empty for a long time. A couple of months I wanted to use it again and charged it up and Android wouldn't start anymore. I have rooted and used ODIN and TWRP on my old S2 and S5's to flash LineageOS, so I know my way around, but now I also have the "PIT partition information missing + FRP lock issue" as described by Mark. Most posts claim you just need to find the right/matching stock ROM version, but I have tried all version from 6.0 up to 8.1 matching my german localization (DBT) but none of them work. Also it doesn't really make sense, since the partitions cannot be accessed without a correct partition table.
So... who is smarter than us ;-)
Here the Info from the ODIN DOWNLOAD screen (Home + Volume down + Power)

Thanks for any help,

You will find the pit.file , if you unzip the CSC.img of original Stockrom.
