Please help! I'am using model SM-N900. Today, I wanted to downgrade from my 5.0 custom ROM to stock 4.4.2. I downloaded the 4.4.2 firmware and opened ODIN. I selected AP mode and selected the .tar.md5 file I extracted and it loaded it up. I booted the phone into download mode. I selected auto reboot and F. Reset time. I clicked start and it started. It went along well until it got to system.img in which it stopped and failed. Now I tried a lollipop image, and it came up with the same result. I tried flashing the TWRP image and it flashed successfully. I was able to boot into TWRP and use it. I now tried flashing a custom rom. I tried a AOSP lollipop rom, 5.0 TW rom, and a 4.4.2 TW rom and they all booted to a black screen. I'am now desperate to fix my seemingly bricked device so somebody out there, please help! Thanks in advance.
I also tried flashing a bootloader I found somewhere in XDA for the N900 and I'm still able to flash TWRP and use it and access download mode but it hasn't changed my problem.

What bootloader was you using and what one have you tried to flash

I'am not sure what bootloader I was trying to use before but I was on a custom lollipop TW rom so maybe its a lollipop bootloader? I flashed the one linked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/safe-to-downgrade-ll-to-kk-sm-n900-t3016966
UPDATE
TWRP factory reset and other wipe functions except cache wip are no longer working the wipe completes with a blue error. Was it because I accidentally checked nand erase all in TWRP?

Iv an idea you flashed wrong bootloader so I would download stock lollipop Rom no root make sure you flash bootloader and modem too so download to your pc and use Odin make sure you haven't enabled reactivation lock

Device has been fixed!!!!
YESSSSSSSS
I downloaded a pit file for my device and used it along with my kitkat firmware. This time, the flash succeeded and my device booted to a message saying data is corrupt. I did a factory reset from recovery and rebooted. The device successfully booted up and now I'm up and running again and downloading all my apps and stuff. No need to swap motherboard!
congratulations mate

What exactly does a pit file do though? When I selected it it selected the re-partition option which everybody says not to use but it was the only way my device is successfully up and running again. Why do you think flashing the .pit file along with my firmware file worked?

basically a pit file increases partition size and as yours had corrupt data the system couldn't read or rite to it so pit file allowed you to install your rom I can't believe you got away with it normally bootloader doesn't forgive but glad you sorted things

Ever since I've flashed latest SuperMan-Rom V1.5.1 using TWRP 2.0.3-0, Since then I lost IMEI, baseband etc, I can't even able to place/receive any calls. Baseband version is 'Unknown' and IMEI & IMEISV (slot 1 & slot2 ) are 'Unknown' too. Any ideas how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

You wiped your basband. Did you install incorrect CSC files. Same thing happened to me with the Superman Rom. Got to back up your efs in the future.
How do I make sure if I use to correct firmware or CSC files? Thanks for your help

So check this out. Try this. Go download your odin for your phone. You can download anyone. Just makensure it is newer or the same as what you have. After you add everything to Odin, click option tab and make sure Phone EFS Clear and Phone Bootloader Update are checked. Then flash the odin rom. Lmk if that works.

No luck so far, as I checked both buttons to install the firmware I downloaded from Sammobile site. So my phone origin county is Vietnam, any idea which firmware should I use?
Did you backup EFS before install the ROM?

No, I did not.
Go download smart Switch, boot your phone to download mode. In samsing smart switch click more emergency firmware initialization then click the other tab.... itll ask for your model numeber then a window below will ask for your serial. When it accepts it, it will attempt to restore it. It will show you the rom that came with your phone. Right that down. Let it do its thing. There is another thread on this forum you will need the binary for your phone.

Likewise if you can get into twrp, use the file manager to delete everything in the efs folder. And actually you dont need the original rom. Just download apdn or apdu. But you will nees the binary too.

'SM-G935FD' does not support initializing, Please contact our service center.
Your best bet is that guide to restore your imei and baseband. Do that.

So guys if you are getting a DRK error after flashing the Odin restore? GO ahead and try flashing Chainfire's root. This will get the phone to boot up, that is after you flash the Binary and then the Odin rom, the flash chainfire. Remember, you will have to flash Chainfire going forward forever, every time you use Odin to restore them room. Otherwise, youtherwise you will get a device root key error and refuse to boot up.

Did you flash the Binary of the Rom?
Follow the directions in this rom. See after you flash the Binary Odin, if your IMEI shows up. If it does flash the Odin Full restores, any , it doesn't matter. You will get a DRK error or you should, then Flash Chainfire
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-fix-check-drk-imei-issues-t3379516
After this if you get DRK errors, Flash Chainfires CF-Root.

Thanks for your suggestion, I've tried flash Binary(exactely followed the steps), Kies urgent recovery, but nothing help, im going to try edit my broken EFS file.
Wait, you don't restore it with Kies, you have to use Smart Switch, then choose more... Emergency Firmware Initialization... Then enter your model number and then it will ask for your serial.
So when you flash the Binary, there is a secret menu, top left corner, click it and then you should see all these menu buttons, choose settings. It will look like stock Android. Go down to backup and reset, and fully wipe through that. Then flash the Binary, see if you get an imei in the IMei screen remember you have to type *#06# in the screen keypad. If you see your imei, good, power down, boot into download mode, and flash the Full Odin Rom.... If you get DRK error, flash Chain Fire CF-Root.
---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 AM ----------
*********Disclaimer********** If you get your device working, you willl always need to flash Chainfire CF-Root to get it booting, no matter which Odin rom you flash. Don't ever uncheck oem unlock, then you will not be able to flash Chainfire and your device is bricked for good.

One other thing when you are flashing in Odin, make sure you check Phone EFS Clear and also Phone Bootloader Update

I did everything you said, first I recovered by using Smartswitch, then checked OEM Unlock and flashed binary. After boot in Binary I checked the secret menu and did a wipe in settings from that secret menu. Then I flashed the Binary again via Odin. I dialed *#06# after reboot but imei is still missing. While stay in the Binary screen about 3 mins, the screen became black and display "CP CRASH UPLOAD MODE".
I appreciate your help bro... maybe it will be solved in next few weeks, I feel tired with flashing and flashing, maybe it's time to go with IOS series lol.

LOL don't stop there, but take a break. That is what I did, god I flashed so many times.
When you are rested......
Next step Flash the regular Odin Restore rom, this is different from the binary. BTW, try taking your SIM card out of the phone when you do this. If your phone boots up after the Odin restore, see what your baseband is. If it doesn't root it, then install twrp. I went into TWRP and used the file manager to delete everything in the efs files. I think something gets backed up or stored there from the bad csc files we flashed. No matter how often we flash, they are still there. Delete everything in the efs folder. Then go back to download mode.... Flash Binary.... Then Flash Odin Restore Rom.... Then Chainfire Auto-CF root.
While doing all this, check these options in Odin Clear Phone EFS, and Phone Boot Loader, I have also wiped the NVRAm option and Also repartitioned.

And if you are able try to restore through Samsung Smart Switch. It won't work after the restore, but honestly all are an attempt to repair what was done with Superman Rom.
After the Odin Restore, try Chainfire. The rom may look to be chain rebooting. Force it restart yourself.
Dear xda users,
I have a big problem with my Samsung S7 Edge G935F!
Yesterday my phone restarts continuously so I used Odin to flash Firmware Stock. First, I used this Firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3335065 .
Odin doesn't show any errors and my phone restarts; but after Samsung S7 Edge Boot Splash Screen, the phone shows a screen with yellow triangle and Android dead and then, phone restarts in Stock Recovery Mode.
In the Recovery mode when I press Reboot System Now or PowerOff, appears "Verifying DMVerity Hash Tree..." and then "Failed" and my phone restarts again in Recovery.
I tried Wipe data and cache but Nothing!
Then I tried to repair firmware with Kies 3: No errors but my phone won't boot!!
And then I tried another firmware file with Odin but nothing!
The phone is Completely Stock! Recovery Mode and Download Mode work and the phone is recognised by PC.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance
Sorry for my english

Have you tried doing a "Factory Data Reset" in stock recovery yet?
If not, do that before doing anything else.
The Factory Data Reset in stock recovery will WIPE your internal
sdcard but it will not wipe your external SD if you have one.
Also it would be very helpful to know the exact filename(s) of the
stock firmware(s) which you have tried to odin flash and what the
model of your phone is. (G938F) or other variant?)
Good luck and have a great day!

Thanks for your reply!
Yes I tried Wiped data/Factory Reset and Wipe cache partition in Stock Recovery..
Device: Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
Model: SM-G935F
Firmwares tha I tried to flash with Odin:
Netherlands (Android 6.0.1) G935FXXU1APF2_G935FPHN1APE2_G935FXXU1APEQ_PHN
Italy (Android 6.0.1) G935FXXU1APF2_G935FITV1APE2_ITV
If flashing succeeds, and you still have the same problem:
go back with your device where you bought it
You can't solve it yourself, and probably something is wrong/defect with the main-board
When you 1st discovered the continuous reboot:
1. why did you not go to the store where you bought your phone?
2. why trying to flash "other firmware" on your phone instead of your "original firmware"?
What's your original CSC? Flash your phone with your original phone's CSC and bring your phone back for repair and/or replacement!

Download orginal firmware fro sammobile, unpack and flash with Odin 3.12.3.
Download the firmware from your area, the one that comes with your phone.
Use the right regional code and everything when you download firmware.
Also, have you guys flashed the right bootloader and modem beforehand?

When downloading original firmware there should be 4 files when unzip.
1 for each of the options in Odin, without the last one named home.
Some of the custom roms comes with bootloader and modem, but NOT ALL.
Most times you have to flash the right bootloader and modem in Odin beforehand to get the phone to boot.
Im unsure of what has happened because I have never run into issues myself.
If you can not get the phone to boot with firmware from Sammobile and Odin flash I am out of options.
If I do experience a problem like this I would:
-install bootloader and modem according to the custom rom used. Try and flash these with odin more than ones, if not working.
-if no recovery, try flash recovery again
-try flash another custom rom then another custom rom
-return to stock firmware downloaded trough Sammobile
If none of these options work im out of things to do, sorry
The times I have experienced phone stuck on Samsung logo, it has been because of bootloader and/or modem.
Flashing the right ones have always fixed the problem.
That said, I have never experienced problems with returning to stock firmware trough Odin, maybe one time.
And this time my firmware download was corrupted.

I have downloaded two non branded firmware for the Netherlands from samdroid. I had unpacked the zip and flashed the files. For the csc selection I put the one named home csc

This is wrong, you should use the file named only CSC.
Home_CSC, is to keep your setup on phone as is.
I also remember that you have to remove the meta data directory, and then repack firmware or the install will stop.
And this is also NOT a good option if you use another firmware than the original on phone.
Installing firmware with Odin, always use BL, AP, CP and CSC.
Try this and forget about the Home_CSC.
I don't have anymore info, sorry
Thank you very much. I will try it. I will let you know.
Gentlemen, my appreciations and thanks. Was able to finally get the stock firmware to grab. After more time disecting the problem i learned about and was able to uncover the maintenance boot screen. There it had the option to do usb debug . Once i hit that, next flash finished fully. It must of reser in the dev options after the initial root. Damn, i was sweating balls for a bit thinking i must of hard bricked it somehow. I will take it throufh the toot process later today glitch free i imagine. Thanks again for assisting,

Buy pressing and holding power and volume down key, until you get to the screen.
Same procedure as download mode, but without the big button

Is this a 935F? Where did you download the orginal firmware from and what version of Odin u use?
When I root my phone I always use the steps from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-e...0-0-0-t3334084
Have never run into issues.
Flash twrp trough Odin first, let the phone start
Boot into TWRP, format phone with the options you have to type YES, then install dm-verity force encryption disabler
Now restart TWRP
Then flash the Supersu file from the thread.
Now restart phone

Download orginal firmware fro sammobile, unpack and flash with Odin 3.12.3.
Download the firmware from your area, the one that comes with your phone.
Use the right regional code and everything when you download firmware.
Also, have you guys flashed the right bootloader and modem beforehand?

Even this thread is old:
Thank you so much, bricked my phone unknowingly flashing custom recovery using a defektive usb port struggling to get it working again. This worked like a charm.
Don´t understand why the orthers did struggle with that method.
Hi,
So about a year ago, I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G950F(Norway), and I want to restore my phone to stock rom, just like it is when it is new from the store. How can I do this? I do not have a backup or something of the original ROM.
Please help..

Do a Factory Reset.

I did that, but still the custom rom is there.
EDIT: I think I wiped my whole phone now using TWRP. Now when I turn my phone on, it just says "SAMSUNG GALAXY S8. POWERED BY android". Then nothing happens.
@Testimy3
This is the price paid by all those who think they have to replace the stock ROM with a custom ROM.

Is there any way I can get a stock ROM on the phone now?

You could try to download this tool I have used it a few times to revert back to stock firmware.
samfirmtool
you just need to know your model number and region/ carrier (3 letters ex. t-mobile is tmb)
hope it helps

I tried using JOdin for MAC, but the app doesn't detect my phone? I am not sure if USB Debugging is enabled, and I am not able to enable it, because there is no ROM on the phone, only TWRP..

You need to get into download mode 1st in order to flash the firmware, power + bixby + volume down, the phone won't be detected till you are in this mode

Ok, so I managed to get it working by installing Win10 on my MAC using Boot Camp. Odin detected my S8 device, and I first i downloaded and flashed ROM using only the "AP", but that did install some factory manager thing. I downloaded a new ROM using SamFirm v0.5.0(https://samfirmtool.com), and used all the BL, AP, CP and CSC(not HOME CSC, but tried both tho). Now it boots normally, and says "Install system update", but after 15 sec it says "No command", and automatically go into Android Recovery. If I choose Wipe data/factory reset, it gives me error: E: [libfs_mgr] is_dt_compatible (): firmware info was not valid : '/proc/device-tree/firmware/android/compatible': No such file or directory. If I after this choose "Reboot system now" on the top, it freezes at "SAMSUNG" boot logo. Any tips?

I've never used a mac before so I can't say for sure the correct process on that end but could potentially be a firmware issue, whats the full name of the firmware that you used?
