Trying to fix a bricked phone but I'm new to this. Help me?

Hey guys. As title says I'm new to this but my dad bought a used rooted S6 Edge + (G928F) and now it's bricked for whatever reason.
It started off by saying "dm-verity verification failed" and that it's locked in "FRP lock".
I tried using Odin3 v3.10 to reinstall the firmware by downloading it from sammobile and did so successfully.
Here's where the problem part is coming. According from what I've heard and read, it's supposed to be working now. However, it's not, and a new message has appeared saying "Need to check DRK first."
Now, I've tried looking around for how to fix DRK but I haven't found anything that worked.
I'd like to remind you that I'm new to this so newbie-friendly words and patience would be greatly appreciated.

hi alexaziz....its not ur fault u didn't brick the phone...the guy who rooted this phone, he made the phone to show this error....unfortunately only fix is to use some professional tools like z3x box.....but don't b sad u can try 2 things.... just to hide it and bypass it.....
1....install stock firmware....wipe cache ..............download kernel file like 928-FKLSI-ODIN or arter97-g928fcig-.....and try 1 of them with odin (use AP in odin)...it should boot normally if not then try 2nd option..
2......Download official firmware for your device from sammobile. Extract your firmware files from the TAR..... delete cache.img & repack your firmware. now flash the repackaged firmware via ODIN.....thnx
wish u good luck :good:

Secure Check Fail: (PIT) - Can't flash original firmware

Hey guys.
Just trying to get back to stock on a Samsung S7 Edge.
Had no issues with device, with root.
Went to reset as I sold it, and it failed.
Have since done the following.
1. Tried to use odin to reinstall original firmware. Fails with SECURE CHECK FAIL : (PIT) in download mode.
2. Formatted the data partition in TWRP. This worked and allowed me to boot into a reset OS.
3. Tried to wipe system partition in a hope to allow me to modify it. Worked, but now have no OS.
4. Continually tried to use odin to flash without success. Device is detected, but when flashing keep getting the SECURE CHECK FAIL message.
Out of ideas on what to try next.
Any help much appreciated.
Adding a couple of screenshots in case it helps.

P.S. I'm using Odin on Windows via Parallels on a Mac if that makes any difference.

Can you get to Download Mode? Why don't you flash everything through ODIN? That'll fix it for sure.

For anyone else with this issue, double check the firmware is correct for the device. I had downloaded the wrong firmware.
All worked fine in parallels with the correct firmware.

When you decompress the firmware you can see two file, CSC and HOME CSC, we usualy flash the HOME CSC.
Try Flashing the CSC, it works to me

please confirm to model number.
Please check the model numbers ..re for Galaxy S7 while SM-G935* models are for Galaxy S7 Edge. You might see a model number like SM-G930F, SM-G930K, SM-G930T, SM-G930A, SM-G935F, SM-G935A, SM-G935T, etc. ..

Just find the newest firmware release and that should work. Also can reboot recovery and select view recovery logs and click /cache/recovery/last_log and roughly 4 clicks down with your volume button, maybe 5 or 6 you should see firmware that's in use.

I wish to update my Samsung SM-N960F/DS from Android 9 to Android 10 using ODIN.
It ended up with SECURE CHECK FAIL: (PIT)
I notice in download mode Product Name is SM-N960N
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
FAP LOCK : OFF
OEM LOCK: OFF
Please help

Did you use the CSC_HOME or CSC file? You should use CSC and if need copy and paste CSC to a different folder, in file explorer hit view and check box "file name extensions" and add extension .zip to CSC file, extract and find .PIT file and use that file when you flash as well as the usual firmware. That will repartition the device. I'm sure you've seen the PIT option in Odin. Make sure it is the correct firmware when you download the new firmware.

Hello I need some help. Customer bring Galaxy S7 edge G935f to my store he said it hang after update so I thought it will be simple firmware flashing through ODIN unfortunately not take a look at picture it's strange FRP is on Knox isn't tripped but system status is custom and it has EFS issues and DM-Verity verification failed. I already tried to fix it using guide "How to fix IMEI / DRK issues" by @CuBz90 no luck

Since you can get into recovery mode have you tried to do
a "factory data reset" before trying to odin flash the phone?
Good luck,
Have a great day!

It's never a hard brick if you can get to recovery or download mode.

Of course I tried factory reset -_- even flashing Nougat and then Marshmallow again even tried to flash TWRP but FRP is on

While reflashing: try to flash full versuion with BL, CP etc. floowing hint from here.
For convenience, here is the link to BTU version with PIT file as well.
It should repartition your phone, put it to REAL factory setting, repairing in the way if something went wrong.
Of course, if you have got the phone legally, FRP shall not be a problem, you can ask the woner for a password?

Thanks I'll try that. By FRP i mean that OEM unlock isn't ticked in developer settings i don't care about google activation lock i just want device too boot if owner don't know his account thats not my problem he paid for fixing firmware so i assume he didn't stole that device

Nope still doesn't boot :crying:

I believe tat during flashing you have ticked repartition and showed Odin the pit file? Hehs...
Last resort: use this one.
It is called somewhere as "repair firmware", so it may do te job.
If not, I'm afraid that flashing 100% stock and sending it over to Samsung could be only option

Yes I did that with repartition and pit file unfortunately it has broken battery cover and little dent on front glass I know that it has nothing in common with firmware but Samsung wont fix it under warranty untill I pay for screen and back cover replacement so I guess it's paperweight now...
Anyway thanks for the link I will check this tomorrow at work

Still doesn't boot going straight to recovery with error shown on picture in post #1 :crying:

bricked sm-t580

i have the T580 32GB of a friend here, that does not work at the moment (and maybe never again ) - the problem is that on startup it only gives this message in red letter :
could not do normal boot invalid kernel length
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the only thing i can do is get into download mode - but i fail when i try to install a stock rom via odin - after NAND Write Start!! it times out and gives me a fail.
i already tried a 3 different odin versions and adroid 6.0, 7.0 and 8.01 Stock Rom for SM-T580 but no luck so far.
another problem is my friend does not know what the android version he was on before that hapend - and the tablet has Samsung FRP on.
maybe some of the experts here have an advice what i can try otherwise this tab a is really bricked - furthermore i wonder how this could happen as my friend swears he did not try to put twrp or anything else onto the tablet ....

Have you tried flashing TWRP using ODIN? (AP Slot)

i do not know if flashing twrp is a good idea as i do not know if oem unlock is enabled - and as it does not boot up i cannot switch it on in developer options

Wouldn't it simply fail if OEM unlocking was disabled? I don't know honestly. I'd try it if no other solutions come up.

I think you are going about it wrong. Instead of booting to download mode, try booting to recovery mode via Home, Vol Up and Power and then selecting Factory Reset. This is always necessary before you can use download to flash a ROM via Odin and it might make using Odin unnecessary.

of course i tried to get into receovery mode but the problem is i can't - when i do home, vol up and power absolutely nothing happens, i only get into download mode
edit: i believe FRP is the Problem this prevents odin from writing the files to the tablet - as it allways times out with :
Complete(Write) operation failed.

what i do not really understand is why FRP does not let odin flash an original samsung firmware ?

[QUOTE what i do not really understand is why FRP does not let odin flash an original samsung firmware ?[/QUOTE]
This sounds more like a binary issue. I have reason to believe you are what's called an FRP Binary Lock. Recovery is usually inaccessable or re-routed and you cannot "seem" to use Odin3 but in fact you can. This issue you apparently are having sounds oddly like some issues I've had on these devices and is often a result of bad Rooting or invalid firmware being installed. This overloads the binaries and puts the device in a locked mode with symptoms of an inaccessible Recovery a difficult to use Odin3 or a bootloop. Most of the time I hear of a notification somewhere of an FRP lock. If this is the situation you are in here is a link to a page of mine that will give you the files to helpfully solve your issue. Let me know if that works or not.

i really wonder how this could happen as my friend swears he did never try to flash anything onto the tab, and i really believe him as he absolutely knows nothing about flashing or where to get a firmware and not even how to get into dl mode ....

The situation I was suspecting is a "Custom Binaries are Blocked by FRP Lock" to which you would have seen a notification of it in one of 4 ways. Your situation is somewhat similar because you cannot access Recovey and although Download Mode is accessable it appears useless. Your device is not Bricked. A bricked device is unusable in any way and these days most devices can be restored.
You do seem to be having some difficulties that are usually common with binary issues. You can in fact use Odin3 but how is the question. Usually one can flash in the Stock firmware and that returns the device to normal. When it becomes impossible to flash in stock firmware or anything else it seems, to my experiance has always been a Binary issue. I will provide a link to the 4File Official firmware. And instructions for you to properly use it for your needs.
SM-T580 Official Stock Firmware 4Files
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zvhwUfSRW44V1ZwEsHLRvlh-T0M79ks9
I'll assume you know something about using Odin3. Unzip the file to your desktop. There are 4 files but you'll only use 3 of them. You can use the patched version of Odin3.13B or you can use Odin3.14. Place the files in their respective places. BL, and AP are easy enough to see where they go. Now there is a file labeled CSC and one labeled HOME CSC. You will only use one of them. The CSC file returns your app data to factory settings (it erases everything). The Home CSC file keeps the app data. So it's your choice which one you choose. These are Official Firmware Files so you should be able to flash them in. Should that not work for you my most likely answer would be that your binaries are the issue and that is why you can't as of yet use Odin sucessfully. Does Odin even try to initiate a flash then stalls or does it do nothing altogether?
There are two different Binary files for the SM-T580 that I have. I would suggest using the Binary 4 FRP first. f I recall correctly the Odin3.13B patched version was made for this. Place the file in the AP section and try flashing it. You should get a few gears on the screen turning if it applied, or maybe not. If that fails use the U4 Binary Unlock file. It is only after you flash in the binary files that you can then install the Stock Firmware. It is the overloaded binaries that prevent the use of Odin as you may be experiancing. I am also including the Knox cleaner in case you need to reset it.
SM-T580 Binary files:
Binary 4 FRP Unlock
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iXrZR2E7m6Ai5InAw8u3lzeLhb3ThRo5
U4 Binaries. This is two files. Flash one at a time using the AP section. They are labeled 1rst or 2nd

2. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xsw4GVYtNMJhiMXV2cR2jaJvToG_n6Pi
Knox Cleaner: Also flashed in using the AP section of Odin3

Good Luck and let me know if this helps or not.

Only if they could get into Recovery they may be able to reset it.
I have never once needed to go to Recovery to do "anything" before using Odin3 to flash.
The only time I've had to go there (repetedly) and reset was when trying to get past FRP Google Account Protection. Sometimes it takes out the page I want to get to and I need to reset it to get to it again. This is "not" always neccesary before flashing a ROM which rewrites the device programing.

sorry for double post

thanks for your help so far, i am gonna try your suggestions on weekend when i have a bit more spare time - hope i can get the tab running again

SM-N9860 Soft Brick Recovery

Hi All,
I brick my SM-N9860, after playing with changing csc on TGY firmware I got to situation that my phone doesn't boot to system and I have FRP lock. Its stuck on download mode (attached pics).
Factory reset in recovery mode doesn't work and I cant flash new firmware with odin because of FRP lock.
Maybe some can help how can I resolve this issue?
I tried to flash combination file with pit file but I get error that there is a FRP lock. I wanted to try the option in recovery "Apply update with adb" but I cant find OTA file for SM-N9860.
From what I understood there is some boxes and dongles like Octoplus Pro Box that can reflash the phone and remove the FRP lock but maybe there is a solution easier than this that works with odin??
The problem is to make my phone to boot, than I could remove the FRP lock because my problem not the google credentials only that it not boot up after factory reset...

Why don't you just put your Samsung account and password in? Because that's what you need to do in order to turn off the frp.. If you're going to tell us you don't know the Samsung user account and password that's only going to make us think the phone is stolen because that's basically what frp is meant to do block people from using it or doing updates or factory resetting it to try to remove the frp.. All you need is your Samsung account and password..

Man are you serious?! I told you the problem not that I cant put my google or samsung credentials.. THE PHONE doesn't boot to the system at all can you understand this?! You can find me in another tread where I tried for cople weeks with guys from this forum to make our phone to work with native call record and reflash it many times with difrent firmware( CHC, TGY) and only one time I forgot to delete my google and samsung account before reflashing. So please dont tell me what you think, if you cant contribute to resolving and helping dont comment like you know something about me.

Can you do me a favor with a patched version of Odin or just try multiple different Odin versions and flash only the CSC, AP and BL. and yes this is going to factory reset it probably but at least you might have the phone back.. Is this an unlocked bootloader phone btw? Edit: Make sure you're flashing the correct BL AP and CSC that the phone originally came with. Edit: Can you tell me what the last firmware was that you had on it?

I will try it, the phone is unrooted and with locked bootloader like it came from factory with no knox tripped. The last firmware that I was is "SM-N9860_20201112_TGY_N9860ZSU1BTJ9-N9860OZS1BTJ9-N9860ZCU1BT"
but the modification that I made was with SamKEY changed the CSC to CHC and after that flashed CHC csc file with odin, so in settings I had region CHC,CHC/CHC,TGY

but the modification that I made was with SamKEY changed the CSC to CHC and after that flashed CHC csc file with odin, so in settings I had region CHC,CHC/CHC,TGY
Thanks for help

Flash just the CSC, AP and BL of the firmware version N9860ZSU1BTJ9 if that doesn't work then try flashing the CSC, AP and BL from the firmware version N9860ZSU1ATGM and see if that works..

Hi Chetbiz,
On your original thread, I did mention a ”patched” version of ODIN, I thought you already tried it. I guess not...
So there is still chance [emoji848].

Hi fjorger)

From what I understand I need Binary 4 file to unlock frp lock, maybe some one knows something about this file and if we got one anywhere?

I have never heard about it before, sorry

You may have to bite the bullet and send back to Samsung and have them reset the phone to original factory condition. It may cost some money, but better that than not having a phone at all -- a lot less than buying a new note for sure.
If you can't get it to flash on your own, I think that is your only option.
One quick thought - have you tried to turn off the phone and then boot back into Download mode? if not, try holding power and volume down until screen turns off - and when it is still off -quickly plug the USB cord into your phone. This will (should) force download mode - if it works - click volume up and then use Odin to try to flash the last firmware file you have (try all four files)
I don't know if this will help or make a difference, but if you haven't already tried this - it may work for you.
Good luck....

Yes I think too that sending back to seller is my only option, I'm trying to connect with him, I bought on ebay, the problem he's doesn't answering me.
About download mode of course I entered the download mode after he was turned off. Nothing works, the strange thing that its fails to flash the latest tgy firmware, there I dont have an error about pit file or frp lock but its still failes on AP file when trying to write super.img... So I don't know what the solution for that, maybe in next firmware version it
will succeed

You probably already tried this - but just in case, go to this link and download the most recent PATCHED Odin -
Then get several different USB Cords - Samsung Original is usually the best - but get different cords just the same -
then try to flash all four files in that patched odin - if it fails, close odin - open it again and reload the files and try again using a different USB Cord.
I believe that if you keep trying, you will eventually get it to work...
By the way, If you can't get the Seller to do the right thing - contact SAMSUNG Support and arrange to send it back to them. They may charge you (Probably around $100 or so I think) but they can definately help you get it working again.
Hope that helps - Good Luck.

super.img is from AP. Try to flash the build that was working on your phone before the issue happened, but without the AP.
