Question: Flash Firmware Without Bootloader - Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers

Hello xda.
Ive got a question ive been looking an answer for everywhere and still havent been able to find a clear one.
I have a J7 2017 SM-J730G. Its made in Vietnam. When i bought it it had an english firmware on it which i suppose was from Vietnam. After some time it started having random reboots so i flashed it with odin. I flashed the 4 files included in the firmware package. But the firmware was from Panama with csc TPA. Its a latin firmware. I would like to have the original firmware back on my phone however when i try flashing the Vietnam firmware with odin it fails. Does anyone know why it fails if its for the exact model that i have?

This is the one that fails.

Do you guys think that if i flash just the system of the vietnam and not the bootloader nor the csc it would work and would i have any problems by doing that?

you can

Yes , in Persian forums , they said you should install same base code , for example you can install firmwares with same XXU or XCU and you can't flash XCU on XXU or other same situations . it may be cause of Knox or other security reasons or ... on new Galaxy devices
because there isn't new middle east firmware of my device base code , i can't try and don't know if it works or not

Hi. Yes our device are made in Vietnam , but regional Codes are different because of regional languages and some other regional settings.
it has (G530HXXU1ANL4) firmware installed and i want to upgrade to ( G530HXCU1AOA2) or newer one for our regional (middle east) , but base code in here installed firmware is (XXU) and (XCU) of new firmware (look at G530HXXU1ANL4 and also G530HXCU1AOA2) . we can't install XCU on XXU firmware of device and we see fail notification in Odin at start of flashing . but these are for middle east and Persian support firmware and i don't know for other regional , for example we can use some other regional but there isn't our language in that regional firmware , So we have to wait for releasing new firmware for our regional base code
good luck

which rom now you using
i have model number g530a ud or ez works can u find 4.4.4 or firmware or way to by pass it
It just happened to me, when upgrade over the air and it different on PDA/Baseband , such G350HXCUxxxx then your country G350HXXUxxx, it will be failed and guest what : you're still on last firmware (4.4.4) but your wifi become doesn't work!
So I tried re-flash by odin, and still failed!
The soulution is look at about phone > baseband (PDA), then find one a simillar PDA here : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G530H/
If your baseband is G350HXCUxxx, you have to download G350HXCUxxx too (no matter what it's from another country/carrier).
Then flash your new firmware by odin. Done! You're on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop!
unable to flash 5.0.2 stock ROM
phone is network locked, the only custom Rom that works via recovery mode installation is MIUI. All other 5.0.2 custom rom's installed via recovery fails to boot.
Odin fails to flash 5.0.2 stock ROM, it fails while writing at the very beginning itself
is this normal?
do i need to update kernel and recovery to be able to flash 5.0.2
smartswitch does not detect 5.0.2 upgrade though it is available offline for download (sammobile)
need to find if there is a software method for network lock removal
Update: was able to flash 5.0.2 stock ROM via ODIN but it worked only for a specific region (SKZ) firmware, still there is an issue of not being able to install custom ROM's will give it a try again
Buenas, compre un Samsung Grand Prime (G530H/DS), con error de encriptado pensando que podia repararlo con un recovery o con odin, pero nada!, he descargado ya como 5 firmware y odin siempre me da "fail", dice error del PIT, e utilizado KIES y hasta intente RSD Lite; tampoco entra en recovery para hacer wipe, por ningun lado de lo que he probado me funciona, que puedo hacer?? Aqui le dejo uno de los intentos y lo que parece ...

[Q] Can update N9005XXUGNG1 4.4.2 Austria A1 to N9005XXUGBOB6 .0 POLAND XEO?

hi
I had problems during reflash n9005 before.
i had version N9005XXUFNG2 and wanted to update to Poland XEO version N9005XXUEND3. Somebody reply me i can use it and i almost kill my note3 during flash.
Then somebody explain i cant downgrade from NG2 to ND3 so i reflash back to correct version and let i to wait.
question 1:
my current firmware is N9005XXUGNG1_N9005ATOGNG1_N9005XXUGNG1_HOME.tar.md5, phone is probably from Austria A1 network (i bought it in local store with papers)
now there is update to android 5.0. Of course i got info and tried to update phone via wifi but after it download firmware (over 810mb) during recovery flash it end at 29% with ERROR message than suggest to use KIES so can i now use POLAND XEO firmware:

Hi,
I'm in Qatar and I've SM-N9005 with Baseband N9005XXUGNG1. Can I flash official update firmware from other countries like Saudi Arabia with firmware N9005XXUGBOEA?
I would really appreciate if someone could give me link to some kind of tutorial on reading firmware compatibility issues.

I have been trying to find an answer to this for a long while, but I just can't. There are some ROMs which are meant for 32 GB devices, and then there are some ROMs which are meant for 16 GB devices. If you download a ROM which is meant for 16 GB Note 3, then obviously you won't be able to flash it on a 32 GB Note 3. And the firmwares listed on sammobile.com don't say which are which!
So I have given up, when a new base pops up, I simply head over to the Alexandar's topic to see whether he has complied the newer version or not, and he does that so fast. That is as stock as a ROM can get, other than ROMs from sammobile.com, so I don't really bother any more.
