I was on 4.3 before I have flashed with odin many times at first I got a fail at the start aboot.mbn nand fail ..so I removed that file and it started to install but failed at the end... my knox is set to 01 . my boot loader of course was locked down when I tried to flash another recovery.. so I read and people suggested pit files along with tar so I did that. no firmware Samsung official or otherwise will try to install at all with the aboot.mbn intact within the tar . ive flashed and flashed ..everything... so then I got a 32 gb pit file and did a nand erase in odin...and I noticed that by doing that I have my stock recovery back . I then re flashed the proper 16gb pit file and it remained working..so now I have download mode and stock recovery both working but have NO SYSTEM at all installed and cant seem to install one....I need good solid advise..is it a paper weight or is ther a way to zip or tar back either by odin or stock recovery.. help please.

Are you sure you're on the mdl bootloader? What do you mean when you say you're on 4.3? That's not consistent with mdl bootloader. My guess is you're not on the mdl bootloader and that flashing the mdl tar in Odin won't work for you. In a terminal emulator on your phone type
su
getprop ro.bootloader
They'll tell you what bootloader you're on.
If you're not on the mdl bootloader flash the nb1 tar in Odin.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
correct information
I was on 4.3 before I updated I have flashed several tar files ..I don't have any system working on phone I can't do what you have recommended. But
The Information I gave came from the top of the the screen in recovery mode.
What version are you trying to flash through Odin?
Hi! How do I make my device good as new like I just recently bought it? I am not just telling about hard reset. I mean EVERYTHING will be good as new, no records of roots or binary counters, restored to original stock firmware, whatever they are, I have no idea, ahahaha . I just want to know how to make it GOOD AS NEW just in case something went wrong with my device. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
In order to restore everything on your device as good as new, you must download the original stock firmware along with the pit file (if needed). You can obtain the firmware via either Sammobile or Samsung Updates. Don't forget to check your phone model before downloading. After downloaded, reboot your phone to Download mode then extract and flash the firmware via ODIN on AP. After the stock firmware installed, reboot to Recovery mode and select both Wipe data/factory reset and Wipe cache partition.
Hope this helps.

Is the firmware downloaded from sammobile safe? Can you teach me or give me a link how to use odin and will it conflict kies in my computer? Also, will these methods erase binary counters like triangle away?

Hi,
Sammobile requires you to register at their site, but it's safe and also fast to download. Besides the firmware and ODIN, you need the USB Drivers installed and Debugging mode to be enabled (by tapping Build number 7 times on Settings -> About device).
Files to download:
ODIN -> Click here
USB Drivers -> Technical Documentation | SAMSUNG Developers
After you obtain the firmware and ODIN, here is the step to use ODIN to flash firmware:
Extract the firmware and ODIN to anywhere you know.
Open ODIN, click AP button, and choose the firmware (in .tar.md5 format).
Hit start.
Firmware flash will take about 5-10 minutes. Don't unplug the USB cable or you will hard brick your phone.
After you see green RESET! or PASS, unplug USB cable from your phone and wait until recovery installs all files.
Don't forget to reboot to Recovery mode and choose both Wipe data/factory reset and Wipe cache partition.
After installing the stock firmware back, it's safe to update or connecting your device via Kies as long as your stock firmware is not modified (either by rooting or something else). And on your last question. Do you mean that this method will erase flash binary counters? If yes, probably not.
As a additional note, download the version that match your region code. So doing a backup of EFS partition is strongly recommended!
Hope this helps.
give me firmware link????????
@SwakyD http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G355H/ Here you have bro
Yes...it is safe i myself is using rom from their
But u have to regester
hello xda community! that's my first question, plz help me solve this problem, when i intended to root my note 4 on lollipop 5.1.1 by cf auto-root with odin the phone suddenly stucked and was keeping restart by itself, i wiped cache and dalvik cache and deleted all its data and made a factory reset with no result i tried to install stock 5.1.1 again by odin and it always says failed! i'm installing Philz recovery but when i enter recovery mode it says recovery is not seandroid forcing , i'm sure i downloaded the correct firmware package so plz help me how can i fix this problem and bring my phone back to lyf??
For anyone who faces that error, just wanted to share what i made with you. The error happens due to bootloader and modem, just download the correct stock firmware for the device, rename it from .md5 to .tar and extract it using 7-Zip, delete or move sboot.bin and modem.bin then make a new 7-Zip archive with .tar extension and install it regulary by Odin :cool
So I succesfully unlocked my note 4. Then I tried to install a MM rom following one of the guides. It failed an Odin update and now I have no firmware. I tried to go back to 5.1.1 by using the full version Odin flash and the recovery flash, but they both fail at the end of system. The phone is currently showing showing Software Update Failed when I turn it on and it connects to Odin fine.
After a firmware update failure the phone says:
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [tz]Fused 2 > Binary 1
Any clue on where to go or what to do?
See attached Odin screenshot.
I re partitioned with the PIT file and it took.

please link the exact pit file. Thanks
I was on G935FXXU2DRAG and tried G935FXXS3ERHD.
Now I can't go back to G935FXXU2DRAG.
I tried full TWRP backup restore, BL flash via Odin and stock firmware flash in Odin.
I can't go back to U2?
How can I force flash U2 bootloader via Odin or TWRP?
Edit:
I found a solution, see: Original post
