i boot up phone and see an error occured during software update!!! now smart switch doesnt recognizing, i connected to odin, in AP i put file G903FXXU.md5.tar but failed! can someone give me 4 files? BL PDA PHONE CSC? imei not random gone when i flashed with 4 files??
I bet you have corrupted system files. There are many websites that provide the recovery files (including .pit file) for free. I suggest you to flash one of your choice with first four options turned on (reboot, nand erase, repartition, and reset time). It has nothing to do with your imei. This will solve your problem and you'll be able to flash any newer firmware you want. PM me with your storage if you can't find the files. I can upload either Austria or Germany one for your g903f.

Your stock .tar.md5 is not meant to be used when you're downgrading. You may want to consider using twrp. Follow my guide above as a last resort. Basically it'll wipe out everything and roll back from BRH2 to the old version you choose so that you can start fresh. You repartition only when .pit file is used.

i put old version security patch but same 6.0.1 android version which i had on previuosly version when i did not install from ota update when i got the phone, but cm fail because binary number is lower. i had G903FXXU1BQL1 this version before update via ota. but from odin . why re-partiton automatic marked??? i saw when i flashed succesfully to bhr2 . i dont know why is ticked automatically... my phone not bricked up?? everythings would be ok?? phone booted up, but two times was in recovery screen entered and restarted two times samsung s5 logo and recovery mode, after that screen shows s5 neo and booting without the problem. i cant install previuosly android version which was be on phone when not uptated to security patch 2018 04 01 , i had 2017 december, after that when failed odin i installed the same version like what i had installed via ota. i dont know the same music apk was on preinstalled previuosly version on security patch 2017 december 1 th was . on the software was music stock apk like in photo which i more like it because on lockscreen was green backround not the white and rounded play ant back buttons, and from status bar same as looks like lockscreen. i dont know maybe the same app version was when i uptaded to the latest android version via ota when i got the update when was be on patch 2017 . but in my imagine was music stock 1.5 version but not 6.0.1 when i did reinstall fw via odin!! now changed to 6.0.1 apk music version. i found on internet the picture how should icon was on december 2017 patch without update samsung music, just stock music app. and maybe after ota update still the previuosly 1.5 version on april 2018 security patch.. i dont have any screenshots where music app was be without updated samsung music app when i had via ota uptaded version to bhr2 as same version as a flashed via odin.. how can i install lower security patch? is required pit file or twrp ? i dont do that to lower version security, because binary number is not the same. i try in a5 2016 to security patch when not changed binary number to 7. was 6 . when 6 was i can installed to february month via ota and roll back as the same file to october security because the same binary number , when i got updated and month changed to may i cant installed that version which i had until may updated security patch because binary changed to 7 with update. maybe you understand what can i say in my opinion about a5 2016 from october 1 update to every month until may i have same version binary so i can install update via ota , but when i dont like update security patch i successfull go back to the previuosly october security patch 1th because same version binary number was 6 not 7. but build number letter and number changed every month when update released ;D
and i will put photo which i found on internet music app was same as in photo when i had security patch 2017 december , and maybe was be same when i flashed update via ota when i got , but when i reflashed via odin to same android version and security patch now changed music app icon and style in the app :/ no round buttons, just buttons black. or maybe not the same when i got the phone :/ i really dont remember ://
now not looks like in 2 photo no bigger play button , not rounded and not green screen on playback line which in photo i see :/
in my music stock app playback line white not green which in photo green.. and from lockscreen white background and from status bar, before installed via odin, was version bhr 2 security patch the same as i installed firmware via odin, and music app was green and paybacks buttons all 3 rounded and green three buttons and in the lockscreen and status bar background music app was GREEN WHICH COLOR I LOVE IT MORE THAN NOW WHITE!!! not lovely looks :/ i see i can installed samsung music apk latest update but i hate that because animation effect used when song played... so name ,,Music" changed to "Samsung Music" when i installed update from gplay, when i unninstall update it shows Music. and back to stock version , but not when i was in security patch 2017 not the same icon....... maybe the ota uptade changed version but i dont believe it!!! because before reflash i listened to music with stock apk music but i dont remember what icon was . but not newer samsung music really i remember this!!! because i hate samsung music update so i unninstalled and i got stock green music backround in the music app,lockscreen, and status bar, and playbacks buttons rounded and green <3.... now after reinstalled via odin same version and same security patch and same region SEB changed samsung app to 6.0.1 apk. ... there is no way roll back to music 1.5 version apk which i had on ota update before odin reflashed as the same version !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in the first picture android 5.1 not 6.0.1
G903FXX U2 BRH2
G903FXX U1 BQL1
The U# is the bootloader version which is inflexible and unforgiving. Simply put, you can't go back.
If it's just .apk file you wish to downgrade, you can extract it from G903FXXU1BQL1 and replace /system/priv-app/smusic/ or repack BRH2. That's more complicated. When downgrading is worth putting your time, as I suggested, you roll back to Lollipop or similar using the repair firmware and then odin flash G903FXXU1BQL1 after a successful boot.
how possible to downgrade to lollipop???? i wanna that! i like lollipop, but i wprried could be a problem with phone or firmware which i installed lollipop, can crashing apps or forced closed? i dont like 6.0.1 on s5 neo
yeah i wanna flash apk music, but i dont really remember the app music was 1.5 version or same like now 6.0.1. maybe lower version, but you say i can go back to LOLLIPOP . HOW BACK???? i dont wanna loose imei or phone doesnt boot after that procedure!!!
now my bootloader on 6.0.1 android and i cant flash 5.0 version lollipop...
maybe possible downgrade to 6.0.1 xxu1 because i cant install because my bootloader newer xxu2 binary number was this so i cant flash lower binary which has G903FXXU1BQL1 marshmallow, maybe than i flashed succesfully, and i saw 5.1.1 android the same xxu1 not xxu4 , so when i downgraded i dont know how but maybe try and successfull installed xxu1BQL1 marshmallow. so i can through odin installed 5.1.1??? because xxu1 5.1.1 lollipo so maybe allow to downgrade from marshamallow xxu1 version to 5.1,1 xxu1? this software lollipop : G903FXXU1AOGG. how to roll back to G903FXXU1BQL1 marshmallow?? because i wanna installed 5.1.1 which have the same XXU1 number in 5.1.1 lollipop ;D
Like I said you put the files to flash in Odin. Note that the Samsung Music app you want was released in 2015. There are some .apk ported from s6. *See the attached screenshots

I have the i9500 Octa Core version
Build version ends up with UAMDK where I think there is an update that ends up with UBMEA.
Problem is when I go to software update in settings it shows that I have the latest version. Any workaround?

I am also having the same problem. Few days ago when I manually checked for updates, I saw a update of about 343MB is available but yesterday when I tried to download/install that it shows that I have the latest version.
Don't know what is the issue but I am sure that was the MEA update (2nd update for GT-i9500). May be Samsung has disabled that update temporarily/permanently
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/232008987/242f101/I9500XWUBMF8_I9500ODDBMF8_INU.zip.html\
This is the latest update indian version has recieved so u can download the same and flash it using odin it wont affect the warranty etc
Okay I found something interesting, I opened Kies and went to Tools > Firmware upgrade and Initialization
I entered Model no. and S/N and it showed that latest firmware is MF8, I clicked proceed and it was saying "Downloading firmware upgrade components".
What I doubt is that it downloaded very less, because it completed to 100% faster and I don't think 300+ File can be downloaded atleast on my ISP
Do someone know about this?

Yeah, I heard about MF8 firmware it is the latest one but it should come after MEA update or together with the MF8 update for those who didn't got/install the MEA update.
MEA update is about 343MB and as far I know the MF8 is of 30MB. Now the problem is if you have got both the updates together then it must be more than 343MB. So I doubt that you didn't got the MEA update, but is it possible to update MF8 firmware without installing the previous firmware MEA? Personal I don't think so.
Now the good news is I am also getting update(s), I am gonna do it tomorrow. But at first I have to update my kies.

Can you tell me what type of Status Bar you have after the MF8 update? Is it Semi-Transparent or same as before ? And did you got the Smart Pause Toggle in the Notification Bar after the update ?
If you got the total update then this features/changes must be there in your S4 :-
1.New Camera firmware
2.Smearing issue has been fixed (Purple effect while scrolling)
3.Smart Pause Toggle
4.Move Apps to SD Card
5.HDR Video (Can record HDR video)
6.Semi-transparent status bar
7.New Icons in Settings
8.Secure boot status (About Phone)
9.Increase legibility (Display) (New feature)
Check your S4 and let me know.

1. I don't know about that, but now phone won't reboot when camera is opened
2. I can't see purple thing but yeah some trails
3. Yes
4. Yes, but I think obb data is not moved
5. Yea, when I select Rich tone (HDR) as a mode, I can record video in that mode.
6. Nope, I see it as opaque
7. Yes
8. No idea about that, but there is like "SELinux status" which is saying "Permissive".
9. Yup, can see the difference.
I have tried to flash the Android 5.0.1 stock firmware N910FXXU1BOC3 on my Note 4 N910F and I'm getting some error in Odin when it's writing the hidden.img.ext4 and failing. On the device, in Download Mode i see the error message volume size is too big.
Right now i'm on Android 4.4.4 N910FXXU1ANK4.
First thought was that i left Reactivation Lock on and saw a bunch of other threads where it says that this might be the main issue as I am flash a different CSC Region ROM. I managed to get back to N910FXXU1ANK4 after the failed flash of N910FXXU1BOC3 with Kies3 and Emergency re-initialization (thank you Samsung for finally doing something useful with Kies). I disabled the reactivation lock and attempted again to flash N910FXXU1BOC3 but failed with the same error.
After some searching, i found that the issue might be because i have to re-partition the device in order to fit the new partiton sizes for Android 5.0.1.
This should be done with the Odin option to Re-partition but that requires a PIT file in order to have the re-partition information.
I have looked into the md5 archive for the N910FXXU1BOC3 ROM and initial 5.0.1 release for N910F N910FXXU1BOB4 ROM but I could not find a PIT file in order to re-partition.
Now my question is, when going from Android 4.4.4 N910FXXU1ANK4 to Android 5.0.1 N910FXXU1BOC3, do I have to re-partition with Odin, and if so, where do I get the correct PIT file ?
Thanks.

hi,
i have a N910F.. When i went from stock Android v 4.4.4 to Lollipop .. German Rom.. BOB4 and after that again to BOC3 I did not repartion anything. in fact repartion must be untick , I only made sure that auto reboot was ticked and F. Reset Time ticked then, place the tar/(md5 )file in AP section of Odin. Switch phone off, boot into download mode, connect phone via usb and wait for blue color to light up ID:COM box (above auto reboot) check if everything is connected and correct boxes ticked and then flash.( see screenshot ) After flash your phone will "try" to boot up but will optimise apps first. This can take some time (my case about 10 min? or so)
Plse take note that i am referring from stock Rom v4.4.4 to stock Lollipop
v 5.0.1 Also you only flash the one file....... "tar"/(md5 ) thats all.
good luck

hi ,
i personally , don't think it will make any difference or matters,
if you flash the one or the other ..but hey ..who knows ..?
Only reason ,i flashed BOB4 as it was the first Lollipop available and BOC3 was a later date ( March 2015 )
good luck
I have the similar issue. KK and BOB4 roms work and install perfectly. however I am having the same issues while installing BOC3 rom be it Stock or Custom.
So I finally managed to solve the issue. Seems that the image I was downloading from Sammobile was not that good.
I was trying to install N910FXXU1BOC3_N910FVFG1BOC2_CNX - Romania Vodafone. I was unable to install it no matter what I tried.
I was able to install N910FXXU1BOC3_N910FTPD1BOC1_TPD - Netherlands unknown, without any issues.
Something that i noticed is that when loading the tar with issues in Odin, total binary size was shown as 0 mb, while on the Netherlands tar file it was showing 3.3gb.
Also the tar sizes where a bit strange : RO CNX 3.6gb - NL TDP 3.4gb. So I would imagine that extra 200mb might be an issue for the partition size (suspecting bloatware maybe?).
Long story short, the tar file I was trying was the issue and downloading a different CSC file solved this for me.
Also, I tried an advice from the forum, where you extract the recovery.img and convert to tar and first flash that tar before the ROM, but that did not work in this case.
Thank you for the replies and support.
Does it void the warranty ? I am also on 4.4.4 ANK version and want to update fo 5.0.1 BOC3.

I installed the BOB4 like said willcor and do an antutu and, I know that it are subjective information, but I was exhausted of see the Meizu above our fairy note 4 (including with the last 4.4.4), but now, I will sleep much more well than yesterday...

If you're talking about knox (hehe of course, what else) knox still 0x0 after installation...
Doing this kept my knox counter at 0x0, but I did not root or install any custom recovery.
Slightly off topic but I would stay away from BOC3. Many people I know have had problems with BOC3 Firmware.
I am going to be re-flashing BOC3 when I get back home... I must admit when I flashed BOC3 I didn't do a fresh wipe before flashing it so might have been my problem.
Have you wiped your phone before flashing the firmware?

Yes, I wiped from the recovery before and after the BOC3 upgrade and I must say that I like how BOC3 feels.
Battery life feels about the same for me - 50% when I get home (9-5), considering i have BT on all day as i have a smartwatch paired, exchange account, 3 gmails, skype push and a few others.
Love the new Smart Lock features with Trusted Places an On Body Detection.
One thing I noticed, manual check for updates on Security Policy Updates does not give any results, not sure if that is working correctly.
I tried rooting my galaxy j7 with Odin and the feedback I get Is binary size too large

Hi!
I'm having trouble downgrading my Note 4 N910C to 5.0.1.
I was stupid enough to upgrade to the newest Android version (6.0.1) through Odin, but i don't like it a bit. It is just too slow. (for instance, unlocking my phone with my case takes 2 seconds!).
I tried other updates in the past, like the 5.1.1 version and other newer updates from then, but they are all very slow too compared to the BOB4 5.0.1 version, i always reverted back normally without a hitch.
I now get a message on my phone screen, that the Revision Binary doesn't check out (something like: System 1 Binary 2).
I've tried a lot, like first installing older firmwares through zip files on CWM recovery (also 4.4.4 etc), but nothing works. Reverting back to 5.1.1 will work, but never to an earlier firmware version(with the zip files i will get boot loops, even after wiping everything).
May there be a way to unlock the bootloader or install an older one? Or some other way to divert the software rev. ckeck?

It's possible, but only samsung service centres know how Just brought back from service today my NOTE4 910C with downgraded OS and bootloader, from 6.0.1 OXA firmware to 5.1.1 SEB
Damn, i've tried everything internet and XDA said i could do, but to no avail. I am now trying to be content with 6.0.1. I am having everything smooth now, with the exception of the slow unlocking time(i think they have some sort of very deep sleep mode now, which saves more battery, but it's so annoying).
I've rooted the N910C with the CF-Auto-Root image, and installed Kernel Adiutor. With Kernel Adiutor i can set the minimum frequency of the .LITTLE CPU to a higher frequency, which helps a lot in smoothness(but it's a little bit worse for your battery). After that i deleted all the crappy programs in Titanium backup like google books/games/etc.
Everything is now as smooth as it was with 5.0.1 BOB4, except the unlocking bit.
I wanted to remove bloatware and also install Nougat early on my AT&T S7 Edge, so I flashed a modified AP file with Odin and also tried to root the phone. I ended up inundated with security notifications about unauthorized actions that require a restart to fix (restarting doesn't work).
EDIT: I looked back at the files and initially I used the G935F firmware files before resetting to factory settings.
I tried restoring the factory settings but that didn't fix the problem. All attempts to flash stock firmware with Odin has not been successful, and I have tried various versions. Samsung+ also lists the phone as being rooted, whereas root checking apps do not. I think it's related to having the wrong BL/AP/CL/CSC files and maybe BL being version 4. I have only been able to find firmware with "REV02" in the title and I suspect I need a "REV04."
I have noticed that there is a way to update to Nougat through ADP or SD card, but when I tried that option a message prompt informed me that updating from external storage was disabled. It seems like I hit a dead end no matter where I turn. I have been scouring the net and trying various solutions for the last few days and submitted this post as a last resort. Please help!

I tried restoring the factory settings but that didn't fix the problem. All attempts to flash stock firmware with Odin has not been successful, and I have tried various versions. Samsung+ also lists the phone as being rooted, whereas root checking apps do not. I think it's related to having the wrong BL/AP/CL/CSC files and maybe BL being version 4. I have only been able to find firmware with "REV02" in the title and I suspect I need a "REV04."
I have noticed that there is a way to update to Nougat through ADP or SD card, but when I tried that option a message prompt informed me that updating from external storage was disabled. It seems like I hit a dead end no matter where I turn. I have been scouring the net and trying various solutions for the last few days and submitted this post as a last resort. Please help!

There's currently no pk1 at&t firmware available. There is pi2 firmware tho. The bootloaders are the same so you should be able to Odin with no problems. Here's a link to pi2 firmware.

So whats your end goal here? To flash stock akp1 and update to nougat? Or are you just trying to disable the security warning on your current set-up?
If you want to get rid of the security notice you have to disable security log agent in system/priv app, if your rooted just delete it, or another option is go into the security file folder and rename the apk and odex file with .bak, that will disable it, OR use EZ disabler and disable that package.
As for flashing back to stock, I noticed odin and ATT firmware don't get along so great. I usually flash U firmware when I'm in a jam, seems to be a lot less picky. I use either prince's odin or theres a version of 11.2 odin floating around that also has worked for me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy SM-G950W device and I have been trying to update it since 2018 but no luck. It’s still running Android 8. And the patch update from 2018.
It won’t let me update within the settings, and have tried to flash the firmware multiple times, but I always get the Device Info error (with multiple different files)
Does anyone know maybe what I am doing wrong or what I can do to update the device to a newer version (9.0)
Try to download firmware from https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G950W and flash with odin

I have tried but it fails each time
you must download one that is superior to binary 5 you have 4. it may be that
What I had to do Was Turn On USB Debugging because it turned of, then put the PIT file in which I got from the CSC extract, run it with the new BT and the PIT file and then do the whole package and it worked
