So for those of you who have been unable to find a solution to the above error message when flashing firmware using ODIN, I tried to following and it worked for me.
- Downloaded firmware xxxxxxx.tar.md5
- Entered Download Mode [Odin Mode]
- Flashed Firmware using ODIN
Once the flashing completed
* phone attempts to reboot, you will see the android guy then it will say "loading" after a few seconds it will say "Erase" / "Erasing.."
* After a few seconds you will see a yellow "WARNING" sign and below it should say "Error!".
I waited a few minutes and it was stuck there. SO, i took the battery out, entered Odin Mode again and flashed a "TWRP recovery".
* Phone rebooted and accessed TWRP.
* Deleted cache
* Mounted system under MOUNT option.
* Rebooted phone
* Have a working phone now.
I cannot assure you this method will work on your device but it worked for me.
Thanks for the instruction. I get this message while flashing TWRP though "Flashing blocked by FRP lock"
Any suggestions?

Hello guys,
I need extremely technical help as no longer know what to do.
I have a Galaxy S7 Edge device, which installed the rom BobCat and everything went well until then.
Later I decided to install another rom to test KingRom that left me unsatisfied, because I thought it had some bugs. Had the TWRP 3.0.0 recovery and decided to upgrade to 3.0.2, everything went well.
At one point I do not remember when or how if was when install back, downgrade to TWRP3.0.0, I do not remember if it was via Odin or TWRP, it happens that the installation stopped halfway. Then unplug the device, restarted in recovery mode and got the following message "E: falied to mount EFS (Invalid Argumen)", I could not restart the device (Boot Loop, and stucked at Samsung Logo) except in Recovery Mode, which also made to stay without IMEI number and Serial Number.
I googled until I came to this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-e...ssues-t3379516
I followed all the steps explained, I back up EFS_backup and RADIO_bakcup partitions.
Installed FACTORY BINARY G935, everything went well. After restarted, already had the correct IMEI number but still did not present the S / N.
After all that, i tried to install Stock Firmware via Odin, from here started the problems that could not solve.
In the first attempt Odin stucked in "System" (also used the PIT file with the same CSC ... .i do not know if I was right using PIT?). Restarted the device forcibly, entered the stock Recovery, did a complete wipe and always get this message "E: falied to mount System (Invalid argument), I returned to install Factory Binary, then reboot in Recovery and the same message no longer appeared.
Again I try to install the Stock Firmware and Odin always stucks in System, or NAND writing, or Partition, etc. I've tried various Stock Firmware, with and without PIT files, always without success.
Only Factory Binary that successfully installs. The TWRP via Odin also but when device restarts to enter Recovery Mode always get the message at the top of the display:
"Recovery image signature check Fail"
"Reboot to avoid Warranty bit set."
1. Does the partitions are in good shape? how can I check it?
2- I did good or bad using PIT file?
3- Does the problem is running Windows XP through a Virtual Machine?
4 What else can I do?
In all actions used and am using a Macbook 4.1, OsX Lion 10.7.5, Odin 3.11 Windows XP Professional 32bit through Oracle VM VirtualBox 3.4.38
Device:
Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935F) CSC = SWC SwissCom
1st Original Firmware: (I guess was 1?) G935FXXS1APG5_G935FVFG1APF3_SWC
Need help Please
Thank you so very much!
I've successfully rooted some of my previous androids, and currently have a rooted LG tablet. Today I was trying to root my Galaxy S7 and I bricked it and couldn't figure out how to unbrick it. I was following this guide devs-lab .com/root-Samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge.html. Everything looked like it worked Odin said pass but my phone got stuck in a boot loop. I tried to root it with a tar.md5 from a different site but it failed. When I put it into recovery mode it showed a big circle said "Installing updates" and then it went to a black screen showing the droid with a red caution sign and said "No command". From there I was able to get into the recovery menu and I tried wiping the cache and that didn't work, I then tried the factory reset and that didn't work. I then downloaded the "Stock_DeOdexed_Debloated" ROM from here and tried to sideload it using adb but that failed saying "E:footer is wrong. E:Signature verification failed" I tried to install it from the SD card but got the same message. In the recovery menu it said "No Support SINGLE-SKU, Supported API:3, # MANUAL MODE #, -- Appling Multi-CSC..., Applied the CSC-code : TMB, Successfully applied multi-CSC., Successfully verify for dmverity hash tree". I downloaded a stock firmware zip file I found on a different site and flashed the files inside using Odin and got my phone back up and running. I can’t figure out how to attach files so I've included links to the stock firmware I used as well as the version of Odin I used.

please help me through this...i want to install stock android on my phone
Try this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
Your device's memory seems to be corrupted, so it doesn't recognize a recovery being present. As pointed out above, go back to Fastboot, and install the latest stock ROM.
Please help me out guys
I installed twrp pro 3.2.1-1 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-recovery-pro-galaxy-j5-2015-t3728264) on my J500FN (stock rom v6.0.1). It supports AROMA file manager. With twrp pro i installed [ROM][J500xx][TW-7.1.1][v5.0] SEPerience-ROM A8 2018 Port (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/rom-sep-8-5-galaxy-a8-2018-rom-t3796971).
The ROM also started and ran without problems. Since I didn't like it, I installed Odin again with stock rom 6.0.1 (four-part version). I paid close attention to BL AP, CP and CSC. Odin reports sucessfull 1, failed 0. But now my phone still gets bootloop at samsung logo. I also tried v5.1.1, but bootloop at samsung logo here too. But it is the right firmware (SM-J500FN_1_20190207155114_slzx5q4t70_fac.zip). Exactly the same with stock rom v5.1.1.
I am at the end of my knowledge . Please help.

Try rebooting to stock recovery and do a factory reset. Your data should have already been formatted by installing stock theough but just in case try this
When starting stock recovery, the message "installing system update ..." appears and shortly thereafter "no command.", before the recovery menu appears.
I did "wipe data / factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" and then "reboot system now". Unfortunately a bootloop at the samsung logo ::crying:
I don't understand what I did wrong. I have already flashed some Samsung smartphones with new firmware. So far I always thought that flashing the stock rom firmware can fix everything.

That should be the case. Try a different version of Odin perhaps? I know people have issues with certain versions on certain devices

I tried the following odin versions:
Odin3 v3.09
Odin3 v3.10.7
Odin3 v3.11.1
Odin3 v3.12.5
Odin3 v3.14.4
Always the same
After flashing, Odin reports suceed 1, failed 0.
The automatic restart begins with the Android logo and the messages "installing system update ...", "erasing", "installing system update ...". Then the device restarts up to the Samsung logo and then goes into bootloop.
I also always did "wipe data / factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" and then "reboot system now" via stock recovery, just before I rebooted the device. Alwas the same. At samsung logo bootloop.
I have attached 2 screenshots of the flash process (without errors).
I am at a loss. What else could be the reason? I hope you can give me more tips.
Update, second attempt.
I've added a few photos as I may be missing an important clue.
I don’t know, what i do wrong.
With ODIN v3.14 I flashed the right stock rom (picture 1) back, which was previously installed (picture 2). I paid close attention to BL AP, CP and CSC. Odin reports succeed 1, failed 0 (picture 3). But now my phone still restarting on samsung logo (it isn’t bootloop, sorry for the wrong description).
If I try to enter stock recovery - first it appears "installing system update", then "no command" and then it enter the stock recovery. I did „Wipe data/factory Reset“, „Wipe cache partition“ (picture 4) and then „Reboot system now“ (Successfully verify for dmverity hash tree). But no success. After the samsung logo lights up a few times, the smartphone restarts.
I installed again TWRP pro 3.2.1-1 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...2015-t3728264).
TWRP pro – WIPE data, cache and dalvik. Okay.
TWRP pro – INSTALL [ROM][J500xx][TW-7.1.1][v5.0] SEPerience-ROM A8 2018 Port (https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...rom-t3796971)- without any changes. Okay.
TWRP pro – Wipe cache/dalvik. Okay.
With TWRP - "Reboot System" I restarted the smartphone
After „Reboot System“ – no restart on Samsung logo; the setup process started and after selection language and beginning selection WLAN, the system reported stopped something and then restart
After a short time the setup process started again – selection language, selection WLAN, selection terms and conditions – restart without any report
After a short time the setup process started again – selection language, selection WLAN (was already set up), selection terms and conditions, Searching for updates …. Finished. The desktop appears. But then without a reason – restart
After a short time the setup process started again – selection language, selection WLAN (was already set up), selection terms and conditions, Searching for updates …. Finished. The desktop appears. But then without a reason – restart
After a short time the setup process started again – The desktop appears immediately. And I can work with the smartphone perhaps 10 minutes – but then restart without any report
Can the error be further narrowed down? Is it a hardware or a software problem?
And the sim-card is not recognized.
I am at a loss.
And i don't know, why the pictures are not displayed
I bought a used motherboard. Problem solved.
Hello, i hope someone can help me. My goal was to install lineageos on the A20e. So i unlocked the bootloader succesfully. Then i wanted to install TWRP. I used heimdall for flashing (with: heimdall flash --recovery twrp.img). The process ended without any errors. But since this point the phone stuck in download mode. When i restart the phone (volume down + power) the phone runs rapidly into the download mode. On the top left corner it show an error message (look at the screenshots). I tryed to flash twrp again for two or three times and one times the orange recovery - the results are the same.
I can still reach the phone via heimdall or odin. i have downloades the latest stock rom. So i hope to unbrick the phone - but until now i have no idea how to do. Please tell me, if you know some hints. You can also post if you think its hopeless and there ist no way to unbrick the phone.
Update: I have flashed the stock rom via odin succesfully. now it starts normaly. Do i want to do a next try ;-) ...
Thread can be closed...
Thank U
