Having Trouble Reverting G892A (GS8 Active) to Stock - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello all,
I recently purchased a Galaxy S8 Active (AT&T). It was on a stock firmware out of the box. I found an XDA thread with a rooted G892A ROM, and I attempted to install it. I must have done something incorrectly, because the phone would no longer boot. I researched how to use Odin to flash the phone back to the stock firmware but was not able to complete that process.
This is what my phone shows during the download mode flashing process: https://imgur.com/BjhUoXb
- If you look at the last line, it says: "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [abl]Fused 4 > Binary 3"
This is the message that Odin fails on each time when flashing the stock firmware: "abl.elf, FAIL! (Auth)"
How I can get this phone back to stock firmware?
Thanks!

You will need the flash version 4 firmware on your device. It"s the 5th digit from the right of the firmware that you downloaded. My firmware is G950FXXU4DSDA so the number 4 ( from the right ) is my version number. You can not download grade to a previous when number.

Failed at modem.bin when flashing 6.0.1 stock firmware

Howdy! Please help me newbie with this problem. Mine is SM-G928F, its region is DBT, which is Germany. My current firmware is 5.1.1. As I haven't received Marshmallow update OTA, as well as when I checked for update in Smart Switch, I decided to use SamFirm and download the suitable 6.0.1 firmware for my Region. And then I used Odin to flash it, with Kies uninstalled, Samsung drivers up-to-date and so on according to the instruction I've read. Now what I have is a fancy brick with the Samsung brand on it ( I can still get into download mode. What should I do now?

Hey, you may try another firmware or follow the procedure(in the video) to avoid that failure. Exclude modem.bin from firmware and find the another one which fits F variant then flash it after firmware..

Can i install 935F stock rom on 935FD Device.

hello, i am from India. I recently bought a new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Duos. FEW DAYS AGO (ABOUT 2-3 DAYS) i updated it to latest version over OTA. I tried to root it by CF Auto root but something broke and it transferred my device in bootloop so i downloaded and flashed a stock rom G935FXXU1APB6_G935FOLB1APB6_XSP_FULL using Odin. My device started but i figured out that the rom is Singaporian version and its a March upgrade and i could not update it also. I am also having wifi connectivity issues. My old rom was perfect. It was preinstalled by Company. Please help me or please give me a link of my model's official stock rom rather than Sammobile ( i tried sammobile but my connection refuses and also speed too low )
UPDATE: Also my carrier works.......

A bit silly question but have you tried installing from Smart Switch? You mentioned Odin so that didn't look promising...

Download and install USB drivers for Samsung Galaxy S7 edge in your computer.
Make sure to take backup of any important files on your smartphone.
Enable USB debugging option by pressing Menu > Settings > Applications. Navigate and tap on Developer Options to ensure that USB Debugging is enabled.
Ensure that your Galaxy S7 edge carries more than 70% of charge.
Highly Credible Leak Points At Early Samsung Galaxy S7 Launch Date
Unzip Odin on your computer and install it.
Unzip firmware zip file in the same folder as Odin.
Switch your Samsung Galaxy S7 edge off and boot it in Download mode: press and hold Volume Down and Power together and then press the Home key. OR, check how to enter Download Mode.
Open Odin and connect your smartphone with your computer. When connected successfully, one of the ID:COM boxes will turn yellow with the COM port number after a while. (In case you don’t get it, try another USB port. If that doesn’t help either, then re-install USB drivers).
On your Odin, select files:
Click on AP and select file with AP in its name.
Click on CP and select file with MODEM in its name – ignore if you didn’t get any such file.
Click on CSC and select file with CSC in its name – ignore if you didn’t get any such file.
Click on PIT and select the. pit file – ignore if you didn’t get any such file.
Click on BL and select file with BL in its name – ignore if there is no such file.
Make sure to check Auto Reboot and F.Rest Time. Check Re-Partition only if you selected the. pit file.
Click on Start to initiate the update process.
When Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update installation is successfully completed, you will get a PASS message.
I don't know if factory reset is necessary after flash, but I did it, just in case. I attached Odin which I used.

Unless you know what you are doing and about files source/files you are flashing, then not much.. but if you are not sure, then Smart Switch can download official f/w for your specific model & flash it for you.. simplest, no brainer to recover to official f/w.

Official Android 7.0
Hi
I have G935FD device, which I recently bought (the second hand one).
I notice that I have issue with GPRS data transfer... it looks like, from time to time when GPRS is active SMS sending is not possible any more (up to next power OFF of device) .
At that time I'm able to see only one GPRS range indicator.
I'm able to receive calls from both SIM cards.
I did not check am I able to call from both of them.
According to my google investigations issue is pressent in Android 6.0, which I have right now.
Case shall be easy, I need to update to Nugat verision and it is all , but...
1) If I'll check firmware update on my mobile I have inforamtion that it is the latest version of firmware G935FXXU1APD1// G935FXXU1APB6. what is not true
2) I started to looking for official Android 7.0 version. to get it, I have to have CSC code. Phone info application have cleared out all CSC code. *#1234# don't work - "error message connection error or wrong MMI code".
Device type is hero2lte
Product name is hero2ltexx
Product code is SM-G935FZSU - this looks like oryginal information .
Bootloader : G935FXXU1APB6
PDA Version: G935FXXU1APD1

CSC Version :
Kernel Version

Does any one know what can be the oryginal CSC code for such device?
Can you tell me where can I find oryginal Android 7.0 which will works fine in Poland ?
Thanks in advance.
Hi
Below information for anyone who have the same issue as I.
I download the newest official ROM for Android 7.0 for Poland (G935FXXS1DQHI).
I used ROM for single sim, not dual sim.
Since that I don't have any issue with SMS or GPRS any more.
MMI codes started to work back.
I still have dual sim .
Simple , now it works better !!
I got a used GT-935T phone very recently in India, which was still running android 6.0. On browsing these forums, I found out that we could flash stock rom on it without rooting, so I did so using Odin. I flashed the stock rom of Android 7.0 for t-mobile 935T, which was what my phone was supposed to be.
On further browsing, I also discovered, that we could flash any stock rom on the phone, irrespective of the region. So I decided to download the latest stock rom for India 935fd. I did so, but whenever I'm trying to flash it using Odin, I'm getting an error - repartition failed.
I've not checkd the repartition option.
can someone help me?

Download samfirm from here :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3803841
Enter your model no. example SM-G935F
And region code: INS
And click check for updates, it will check for latest version available for your region. Then proceed to download.
If samfirm gives some error codes, then I guess you have to use updato or sammobile. Here is the link for updato https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=C97F8A453DF911E89F15FA163EE8F90B

You know I would have never advised anyone if I haven't tested myself. You can flash without any issues, but nougat will seem much laggy, don't know why. I just experienced it after downgrading that last nougat release for my region was much laggy then it was before I upgraded to oreo. But it may just be my imagination because oreo is more responsive and faster than nougat.
Nope S2 won't hurt. The thing is that the number after alphabet is same i.e 2. S2 is update from U2. 2 must be same. Also firmware is same for both F and FD models.

Yes always enable oem unlock, just in case you may need to flash custom recovery or root, just to be safe its good thing to always keep oem unlock enabled.

!!!!WARNING!!!!!! TOO LONG!!
Thank you for your help but this post did not work for me. After downgrading and trying many times to get imei i flashed the FACTORY BINARY but nothing i had lost modem and did not have baseband and NVDATA.
so with my heart rate @ a billion beats/sec with thoughts of i had bricked my phone. i clam down and started trouble shooting one by one .
At this point modem was undetected odin would fail to flash any firmware.
so i downloaded latest firmware 8.0. lucky it flashed and removed the FACTORY BINARY now back to stock 8.0 with no baseband and modem firmware. I did the following;
1. Flashed latest TWRP via Odin.
2.Formatted DATA then reboot back to TWRP (more drama ) your likely to face DM verify issue like i did here flash CF auto for android 7.0 but it wont give you root for some reason.
3.back to TWRP flash SuperSu for s7edge(SR1-supersu)
4.download the NVDATA,modem,and EFS for your device google search should yield.
5.flash NVDATA,modem and EFS. then factory reset the phone in TWRP
7.wait for many dramatic reboots,(reroot if you lost root)
8. then download and install ROOT BROWSER
still no network in my case at this point. i waited 20mins.
9.browse to the EFS folder in root. delete everything except **FACTORY APP**and **PROV-DATA**
10.do a full reboot
11.if no network like me, go to TWRP and factory reset.
12.sit back sip coffee and wait..
THIS IS WHAT WORKED FOR ME (G935F) i have since flashed back stock rom and rerooted and i have not lost IMEI again am now running a custom rom since 3hours ago still IMEI and network is strong. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BRICK YOUR PHONE I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE. DO AMPLE RESEARCH BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS METHOD MAKE SURE ALL FILES ARE FOR YOUR DEVICE. ALWAYS KEEP LATEST STOCK ROM WITH YOU.
Could you tell me which rom should I flash on s7 edge locked to three UK? I bricked my phone. Don't have backup.

Don't have a backup. G935F on three UK. G935FXXS2DRA9 is what sammobile shows. But due to a scam on their website I can't create an account for 'free' download. Could you send a link with another download? Thanks

Use SamFirm to download firmware. Works great for me. I get full download speed.

You can use any CSC code firmware, I don't know what your one came with. Could be any one of these:

Thats because you were flashing older bootloader version on a newer bootloader..
Download this https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=6CF8552A10BC11E89F15FA163EE8F90B
Flash it using odin 3.13.1 , also be sure to use CSC file and NOT the home_CSC..

I was able to bring my s935f to life but unfortunately imei and signal is gone... Now, the fact is that I had same situation with my note5 in the past and...…. have given up due to lack of ideas how to fix such complicated thing like bringing back imei. Have tried all apps from play store-/rubbish. Even today I still have that motherboard in my drawer.
BUT s7 edge looks so great that I would take a chance to fix it if anyone my kind members could provide me with instruction explaining how to do this on basic knowledge level.
I know how to flash rom using Odin., how to install usb drivers, unlock oem, usb debugging,, how to flash twrp, root the phone...… but I struggle with the knowledge about 'pit file' (what the heck is that? because my odin 3.13.1 doesn't have pit file slot which I have seem on youtube movie....) ,I am confused with the fact that I can flash let say csc ,file in AP slot in din? Ums, …. Anotherwords wouldn't be a HUGE PROBLEM if the steps given on youtube or google work!!! But they don't!!! I mean my note5 here. So I am fully aware that simple looking instruction may bring a lot of hidden problems such as 'your rom flashed ok on youtube but my exactly the same phone and rom faild…. and now the Game starts when you read on google multiple solution and non of them work for you because you missed some small detail that wasnt mentioned in the movie because that was so obvious to creator. Looking back on my previous playing with roms I can say that IS ALWAYS SOMETHING ………. so I expect a lot of stress.
If YOU know or did it before how to make my phone great again, tell me please. Otherwise this pretty beast will end up mining electroneum.... Thanks

¿Method for downgrade Pie to Oreo?

Hi all
I am a guy from Spain and I am using Google translator, I hope all understand all me well.
I have an S8+ updated to Android Pie and after testing it several days I did not like it.
I tried to install Oreo using Odin but it gives me an error.
Searching for information, I found I can not do downgrade because of a binary boot number.
is there another method to install stock Oreo rom? Could it by root?
I never performed root, i'm noob.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks and best regards

Do you have the newest Odin version?
Have you ever tried it on another computer?
Have you ever tried it with a 4tlg.Firmware? (Download with SamFirm)

Hi.
Yes, the latest version of Odin: Odin3-v3.13.1
Yes, 1 pc with Windows 7 and another with Windows 10.
I've never tried a 4tlg.Firmware, I do not even know what it is.
As I commented in the messenge I read that odin can not be downgrade because it changes a binary number of the boot between Pie and Oreo ¿not? (or something like that happens).
Thank you very much for the reply.

In the firmware name you download the binary number ( bootloader version ) is the fifth (5) number from the right. In your case 4 is your binary number.
Eg: G955FXXS4CRLB - 4 is the binary(bootloader) number. You can only flash version 4 or higher not 3 or lower.
Download firmware from.sammobil or.updato
Eg: G955FXXS4CSB1 ( PHE ) is Oreo Feb release.
Don't know if your on carrier firmware or not?
Unzip downloaded firmware using 7zip,WinRAR or any zip program that supports lz4 compression ratio. There will be 5 files.
Note: It is recommended to a clean install when downgrading so do a backup first.
1. In Odin from the extracted files place:
BL in BL section
CP in CP section
AP in AP section
CSC in CSC section - use the CSC file not the Home CSC file. This will do a clean install same as a factory reset.Wait for Odin to load files
2. Put phone in download mode and connect to PC
3. When Odin see's the phone then hit the start button.
4. When finished phone should reboot then run through the setup and restore your backups.

It has worked! Yeah! It was as you explained.
The problem I had was that I was getting a firmware with the binary number 3 because it was the last one in SamMobile for the normal S8 + (SM-G955F), to download the one you put me in, I searched for the S8 + dual sim (SM- G955FD).
Updato has very slow downloads, three days to download the firmware.
¡I thank you very much for the help! Without you I would not have achieved it.
:good::good: :highfive:
please tell..

Hi bro.
Yes, all apps work correctly: Samsung Pay and samsung health perfectly and all the others.
My case is with Spain PHE firmware.
The Knox is 0 * 0, using official stock firmwares the Knox never rises.
After returning to Oreo, remember to freeze the software update process so that it does not search or update again to Pie. You have to do it by adb
If you continue with doubts, you ask me
And the files downloaded from Updato and Sanmobile are stock? I have S8 and want to downgrade from Pie to Oreo, I have G950FXXS5DSF1 bootloader 5, the oreo files are with bootloader 4 (not 100%), can I do this downgrade? or it will get bricked? knox tripped?

Hello.
I'm afraid you can not download the version because it's a 5 and Oreo only has up to 4.
Maybe I can install a version of Pie 4 and then download it to Oreo 4, but I'm not sure about it.
Hi, did you make it? Did it help?

S10+ G975U want to remove ATT bloatware.

Hey there. My S10+ G975U is running G975USQS4DTF6, One UI 2.1, wanna flash unbranded.
Tried a couple tutorials from here but nothing has removed the AT&T bloatware.
Familiar with flashing, odin, combo files, etc.
It's my phone, completely accessible. I just want to remove the system hog bloatware.
'preciate it!
Just flash an G975U1 ROM and you will get rid of those bloatware

Thanks for your responce!
So have to root/unlock flash custom recovery first? If so I haven't found instructions for the US AT&T model.
Any advice much appreciated.
Tried two firmwares with odin 3.13.1, 3.13.3, 3.14.1 patched
G975USQS3CTB6_G975UOYN3CTB6_TMB
G975USQU1ASBA_G975UOYN1ASBA_USC
Always either SH256 SW and/or SW REV CHECK FAIL.
Tried another couple firmwares with odin 3.13.1, 3.13.3, 3.14.1 patched....
G975USQS3CTB6_G975UOYN3CTB6_TMB
still Always either SH256 SW and/or SW REV CHECK FAIL.
also always abl.elf, xbl.elf fail in Odin.
Should I use mount the Userdata? I think i've tried both ways and they fail. Ugh, losing track of what I've tried now.
I did this a year ago when I first got my S10+ Verizon and flashed the unlocked rom on it.
I believe that there's a modded version of oden here. Find it and download the latest original unlocked firmwear and you should be good.
No root and nothing

Downloaded the most recent through Frija for CSC "USC" and "TMO"
Tried flashing with Odin modded and regular. abd 3.14.4 now.
Still keep getting SW REV CHECK FAIL " [ab1]Fuzed 4 > Binary 3"
Also, the I've noticed sometimes HOME CSC is used or included when other times regular CSC is.
USERDATA is sometimes not used, what's up with that?
Thanks again for any more leads. I keep flashing and wishing lol
There are two very similar models: 975U and 975U1. The one ending in U1 should be unbranded.
I need to unlock bootloader?

Recently tried both:
SM-G975U_1_20200722120433_iwlnbyil7p_fac
SM-G975U_1_20200610113004_mh0r74212v_fac
Both from Frija
Is that 1 in the middle correct?
Which version number of Odin is for S10+ Android 10 i guess would help narrow down my problem too?
Besides the firnware Odin has to match too right? Or can you just use the most recent version for any earlier firmwares too?
Added screenshots from Phone Info SAM
It comes down to confirming exactly which firmware is needed, version of Odin (modded or not), which CSC to put in(CSC or HOME) and is USERDATA necessary too?
Thanks again all!!!

Most of your questions can be answered here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/sm-g975u-firmware-downloads-tmo-spr-att-t3908657
You can flash any Rom (V, ATT, or anty other American Rom) you want as long as you don't go backwards on your bootloader version. The version # is the 5th from the last digit on your baseband #. I flashed a U1 rom on Verizon bought S10+ and now get updates straight from Samsung with no vendor apps at all.
Winner:
USC-G975U1UES4DTG1-20200806151900
with Odin Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD
You can archive or delete this thread.
Thanks for all the leads!
