**EDIT**
This issue was solved for myself and another member here by tracking down the appropriate latest stock firmware for our regions and flashing it with Odin. Note that it took multiple flashes of the same firmware in Odin before it was actually fixed.
**Original Post**
Hi All,
I have a SGH-I337M from Rogers (Canada) and I'm having a hell of a time getting my phone working again. Here's the complete history. I originally took it from stock 4.2.2 to 4.4 Gummy ROM. Everything was working fine with that. I then found out about the easy sim unlock with the stock touchwiz ROM, so I plugged it into Kies to restore it to factory. However, I didn't realize (about a week ago) that they were rolling out the 4.3 update, so lo and behold I wound up with 4.3.
The unlock method was not working on this, so I got hold of the 4.2.2 official ROM and flashed it with Odin. It was at this time that I realized the 4.3 update included the knox bootloader (I think that's the bootloader? I'm still pretty green with this stuff), so of course I wind up with persisting flags showing warranty void, kernel is not seapermissive or whatever the error is, etc etc. ALSO, it was at the time of the 4.3 update that I realized wifi and sound do not work anymore. I flashed back to the Gummy rom, wifi starts working again but not sound.
PHEW, if you made it through that, thanks for your time! Anyway I'm now back at 4.2.2 because I figured I'd try the unlocking at least and... it doesn't work. I read from others that the wifi and sound not working had to do with the modem firmware not matching what the kernel expects, so I took my wifes phone (which is still running 4.2.2 and the unlock worked, also a SGH-I337M), ran the following:
Code:
su
cd mnt/sdcard/
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=backup-NON-HLOS.bin
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=backup-modem.bin
Copied those dumps, wrote them to my busted phone with:
Code:
su
dd if=NON-HLOS.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=modem.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
reboot
And.... all that to no avail. I'm literally just fumbling through this now because this stuff is going beyond the scope of what I know. Anyone who can help or point me in the right direction would be most appreciated! Thanks for your time!
Fixed
Alright so, as I mentioned the official rogers 4.3 update over Kies is what I believe caused these problems in the first place. What I did however was get hold of the latest official build from this link (RWC-I337MVLUEMK6-20131125124040) and flash it in Odin. Oddly enough after the flash, all is working. Perhaps there is a broken version being pushed out over Kies.

Buddy! You're having the exact same problems I had. Can you tell me what carrier you are with and post your exact model here (like mine is SGH-i337M). The solution for me was to end up flashing (for the 4th or 5th time) the original stock touchwiz from branded by my carrier. The kernel warnings and such all went away, all sound and wifi works again (see my above posts). You might also be able to just flash the modem file for your phone, the CM version. Anyway post that stuff (exact model, carrier etc) and I'll see if I can help!

Here ya go buddy, found it on terafile. Click this link here. ProTip! Use Bitcomet to do the HTTP download (copy the link once it starts downloading) and set the max connections to 20. This way you'll bypass the download throttle and download at full speed. Follow up and let me know if it works out for you!
In case you don't know, extract the zip, open Odin, click "PDA" and select the .md5 file you extracted. Put your phone into download mode by powering off and then powering on while holding the volume down rocker. It'll ask you to press volume up to confirm. Plug the phone in now and Odin will recognize the phone is ready for flashing (will say added! in the text field). Go ahead and click start. Note that this is a very big file so after you select it in Odin it will freeze for a while while it calculates the MD5 sum.

You can't flash it through recovery you have to use Odin and yes 3.09 should work fine. Make sure you extract the zip first and select the .md5 file that gets extracted from the zip. ALSO note that this will replace your custom recovery. I have not yet attempted to replace the stock recovery after flashing and fixing my phone, so I cannot tell you if it will work or not. At this point I'm just happy to have my phone working again so I'm not tampering and leaving it at stock. Also note that once you flash 4.3 the boot loader will be replaced so that if you tamper with the phone (flash anything new etc) it will permanently set a flag that you cannot change which indicates that your warranty is now void.
Stock Kernel Fix It but ....
Hello Furinax, i download and flash the original ROM with Odin v3.09, the stock Kernel fix it, but the Wifi and the sound still tethering, don´t work both of them, do you recommend flashing again? Or what can i do? Thanks and we keep in contact.

Yay! Glad to hear it. Just gotta watch and read lots before flashing custom roms. Some phones are a pain in the rear, some are fine. Usually stick to flagship phones for this. For example the Nexus series from Google, never had an issue flashing any of those phones. Anyway buddy I'm glad to hear it's all working, merry Christmas and happy new year to you too and God bless you as well. Take care!
I am going through this right now as we speak. I bought a S4 I337M tonight locked to Telus and am trying to unlock it for bell.....it was on 4.3 so yeah I tripped the knox bootloader which is ok because I do not have warranty on the phone BUT I installed 4.2.2 and tried the unlocking and of course it does not seem possible on the Telus i337m .....I followed all suggestions to a T so we must have to pay for codes....
Anyways I lost wifi and sound so i used odin to push back telus factory firmware mk6 and still have no wifi and sound ? Any ideas?
I am currently using odin and pushing it once again , fingers crossed
Any tips on both the unlocking and regaining sound and wifi ? thanks

Hey. So a couple of things. First, if you did the unlock process with the 4.2.2 rom, you unfortunately have to re flash the 4.2.2 rom and this time in the menu turn sim lock back on. Then, you can proceed to flash 4.3.3 and buy an unlock code. The reason you have to re flash and explicitly re - enable sim lock using the 4.2.2 menu is that once it fails, if you don't do that then even your purchased unlock code won't work!
So make sure you do that. I believe it's #*0101 then hit menu key, select back. Hit menu again, select number input, enter 1. Get the ddms main menu or whatever it's called where you can see network lock options and then select on instead of off. There is actually a video on YouTube of this exact issue and fix, I've just been moving for 4 days and am beat so if you get really stuck here I can find it tomorrow.
Once you do that re flash 4.3.3 with Odin but before you do, enter recover mode and wipe/factory reset/cache everything and of course ensure you are backed up first.
It has been my experience and others experience that you may need to re flash 4.3.3 multiple times before the wifi and other issues will be fixed. Don't panic, it'll work. Once you've got that all sorted, I bought my unlock codes (did this painful process on three sgh-1337m's) from cellunlocker.net and all went perfect. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Thanks! took 3 times to get back wifi and sound.....so odd.
I am now flashing 4.2 again and i will change the settings you mentioned back to locked than clear cache/factory wipe before going back to 4.3 and ordering my unlock code online....I dont understand why it works for some and not [email protected]!!!

Glad you got sound/wifi back! As far as why it sometimes works, phone had to be shipped with 4.2.2. Once they get upgraded to 4.3, the functionality is gone for reasons I'm not 100% on so I won't shoot my mouth off like I'm an expert. Lol enjoy your unlocked phone once you get it all sorted!
After the second flashing works, be patient

Hi, I'm stupid and bricked my phone.
I had rooted almost immediately after getting my phone, AT&T SM-G900A, and had no problems.
Used FlashFire to apply the 5.0 pre-rooted stock rom (OC4), and had no problems.
Decided today to use SuperSU's "Full Unroot" function, rebooted, and now I can't get past the AT&T logo on boot. And apparently even after that the phone is still rooted.
Tried the G900AUCU3BOC4-OneClick.exe Odin flasher, but it fails and I get "sw rev check fail [aboot]: fused 4 > binary 3" which from what I understand means I am trying to install a rom version that is older than the one I currently have.
Looked on the internet to see if there is any Odin-compatible tar.md5 file for the newer versions, hoping one of those would let me update. However, I can only find .zip files made by muniz_ri. Tried copying those to my microSD card and install through recovery, but it fails with "invalid header". It looks like those zip files only work with FlashFire, which I can't even get to anymore because I can't boot.
Is there a floating copy of one of the newer stock roms (can be unrooted, I don't care) that I can flash with Odin? Or is there another secret I am missing? I have been through dozens of threads here on the forums and they all seem to have a solution that just give me any results.
Thanks for any help!

Hello, try looking for G900A_OF2_Stock_Rooted_Rom.zip I think that is the file you are looking for. In case you dont find it I could upload it.
(I guess that was the file I used, downloaded a lot of ROMs that time)
hey i need help. So i got my s5 from a friend's brother because the screen on my s7 shattered. anyway when I went to power on the device, it gave me a "custom binary blocked by reactivation lock. Secure fail: Recovery" message. I did some research and found out that pressing the volume down+home+power button at the same time would take me to the odin screen. From there, i needed to reboot the device. Which it did. Now, i tried to factory reset the device but the Reactivation Lock prevented me from doing so. Naturally, i went to turn it off but i didn't know the prior owner's sam account password. I somehow managed to remove the sam accoount from the device (settings>application manager>all>samsung account>clear cache &disable then settings>accounts>samsung account>tap on email>tap on 3 dot menu>remove account). removing the sam account didn't help deactivate the Reactivation Lock. everytime i click on it, it unticks but then ticks itself back on. Eventually my friends brother finally gave me his sam account password but now i have a new issue. I cant add the sam account back on the device! Damn it! i think im having a hard time because i cant access the stock recovery in order to factory reset. It takes me to the original "custom binary blocked by reactivation lock. Secure fail: Recovery" screen. Can anyone please help? My S5 is model SM-G900P completely stock (no root/custom anything).
I did find some threads about successful bypasses but those methods havent worked for me. Ive tried to downgrade to 4.4.2 but i keep getting an odin fail message.
Go to gemflash.com firmware download section and find the g900p combination firmware and download it and then flash it in odin
Then get king root App and move it to your device get root then then get BusyBox App and move it to your device and then get safestrap App and move App to your device
Then reboot to safestrap and you should be able to place a close to stock rom In the second slot try a kitkat close to stock rom for the g900p it has to be a zip file to work In safestrap

Go to gemflash.com firmware download section and find the g900p combination firmware and download it and then flash it in odin
Then get king root App and move it to your device get root then then get BusyBox App and move it to your device and then get safestrap App and move App to your device
Then reboot to safestrap and you should be able to place a close to stock rom In the second slot try a kitkat close to stock rom for the g900p it has to be a zip file to work In safestrap

thanks ill try it.
I didnt find anything on gem-flash other than some "5.1.1 Arabic firmware" I should mention that I tried to follow these steps from another thread:
"1. downgrade kitkat stock from sammobile.com
2. Turn off the Phone Remove battery, to take off Sim Card and Micro SD.
3. Full Wipe Phone on recovery
4.now we are going to Used Odin to Flash 4.4.2 firmewire.
wait to it done. when it get done u go to ur sam account and them go to security and esea like that u can turn off Reactivation Lock"
but it didnt work. I had to skip step 3 because when i enter recovery by pressing volume up+home+power, I get a "custom binary disabled by reactivation lock" message. I went straight to step 4 and got that error message on the odin program on my pc.
Is there any other place where i can get the combination firmware?
A quick Google search for g900p combination firmware bring up a couple websites

ok, i found the comination firmware. but i have a question. After i flashed it using odin, it booted up a weird looking "ROM". there also doesnt appear to be any sign of the activation lock. So i turned off the phone and went into recovery. I have access to the recovery where i didnt before. So at this point, couldn't i just install a custom recovery and flash custom rom? or do i still have to do the "king root, busybox, etc" method that you mentioned? thanks for the help

I followed your steps up until safestrap but no luck. I wasnt able to find a sprint variant of safestrap so im not sure where to go from here.
I did try to install twrp and cwm after flashing the combination firmware but it failed. So im kinda stuck. My phone looks like the attachment from my last post.
I was unaware there is no g900p safestrap I missed this thread sorry for the late response you can root using king root then you can use the supersu me App to get supersu then install BusyBox then install flashfire app and make sure your bootloader is unlocked then try to flash a custom rom using flashfire

@[email protected] thanks a lot for your help but i think this device has no hope. I have everything set up the way you just mentioned but i cant get super su me. i cant get it because i can only find it on the play store. The combination firmware that you suggested to install, doesnt allow me to use any accounts: google or samsung. because of that, i cant get any playstore apks to work and download super su. I have flashfire installed but it wont work without super su or cm su. i think im just SOL.
You download apks from web browser website I always use is apkmirror or apkpure

Hi All,
I'm basically starting this thread as i have not seen many users of this tablet and my main purposes are:
1) to look for users of the same tablet so we can pool our knowledge together as we go along this somewhat new and rare device
2) i would like to root the device and i haven't seen anyone post any guides yet for this device. FYI, i have already updated to Nougat 7.0 o the device. So far, all the guides i've seen are for Marshmallow.
i hope i can get some members to reply to my thread and, hopefully, have a running thread here in XDA... hoping that in the future we could get someone to develop a new ROM when Samsung decides to stop send OTA updates.
+1 here!
I've seen people already rooting it, but as I google for its root method, there are websites I just can't trust or see the positive results, or a few posts with "thanks, it worked".
If at least they could share to us where did they got the instructions for rooting...
---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------
Hmmm xda have posted how to root it.
A few paragraphs further on the first post of this topic there's a procedure for rooting.

Blank screen in Recovery Mode while trying to root SM-P585Y
I'm a little disheartened to see so few subscribers to this thread but here goes:
I'm trying to root my SM-P585Y using Odin and flashing TWRP recovery. Everything's fine until the step where I have to boot from Download Mode into Recovery Mode. Instead of going into the normal recovery screen, my screen just goes blank occasionally displaying a few random lines or vibrating when I push random buttons trying to get some sort of response. I can get it back into Download Mode by pressing "Volume Down + Power + Home" but that's about it. I've essentially lost Recovery Mode, and a regular reboot from Download Mode by pressing Volume Down just takes me back to the blank screen with random lines.
Any ideas on what to do?

The TWRP device tree of P585Y is from MM. If your tablet is android 8.1, it'll cause error. Just flash stock rom or stock recovery to fix it. If you want to root, just use magisk.

How can root my p585 with magisk?

Extract boot.img from stock rom file. Just use Magisk manager app to patch the boot.img. Then rename generated file to boot.img and compress it to tar file. Finally flash the file with odin in AP.

This method works with oreo stock rom.
If you want twrp, downgrade to android 6.0
Hi everyone
If i rooted my device (P585), with this method that patch boot.img with magisk, i'll use adoptable storage or only in twrp mode?
Sorry for my question, but i'm confused.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 with S Pen ... but on the tab I can't install the app, also not factory reset
anyone have a solution?
thank you
Has anyone found a 64bit rom for this device? I really want to use it to fly my mini 2 and Air 2...

Hi guys.
I'm trying to update the android from the P585.
I already tried to install the T585/T580 ROMs, but it doesn't work.
I think it's because of the model, because it has a slightly different name ( gtaxllte Vs gtanotexllte )
Information about P585.
Device Name: gtanotextllte
Device: Model SM-P585M
Device CPU: arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a,armeabi
I looked a lot on the internet for a ROM for the P585, but I couldn't find it.
Does anyone here already found ROM for P585?

Hey guys, may i ask? Is there a custom rom for samsung [SM-P585Y]?
How do you shut down a P585 using the physical keys?
I searched the web and got results for using the soft button and bixby.
I want to shutdown using the keys because I can't access the soft button.
Hello,
I just flashed TWRP and LineageOs-v16.0-UNOFFICIAL from this https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/orig-development/rom-lineageos-v16-0-unofficial-samsung-t3892229 and after reboot the screens shows "Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock.".
I bought this mobile phone completely legal. I read a lot about this, but I do not really understand what the purpose this functionality has.
When I started flashing TWRP on it, I haven't done a "Factory Reset" in the original Firmware. So I of course don't know the Google Account from the previous owner. I also don't now why the hell the Google Account is responsible for this.
I read, that with flashing Stock Rom and activating "OEM Unlocking" and the problem should be solved. I have never heared of "OEM unlocking" before, on my other phones I don't even have this point in the developer options.
Is this the solution? And where can I get a Stock Rom which will work?

Hello. Can you tell me what your variant of the phone is (SM-A510XX)(what are the numbers or letters which replace the "XX".
With the variant, I can help you get the stock rom and give you a guide on how to flash the stock rom via Odin. Hope this helps.:good:

No you don't need payment method for downloading from sammobile, Only needed if you want to download at high speeds. Provide me the link where you found your firmware from sammobile. With that link, I can download it, upload it to high speed servers, and then give you the link where you can download. I am asking for the link as I don't know what country you live in and therefore don't know the correct firmware. By the what I mean SM-A510xx, replace the "xx" and give the country code or the country you live in so that I can find the firmware as the number you gave me (A510FXX7CRJ6) is not what I meant and that number is a firmware number and not the device number.
ok, so after your post i tried another time to get an account on sammobile.com and now i succeeded. So the download is running atm. But the next question is; how am i supposed to get by the FRP lock? Cuz i tried to flash TWRP on it with odin, but got stopped by the FRP lock.

No. You don't need TWRP to flash stock rom via Odin. Just get the phone into download mode and flash the stock firmware via odin. You flash it the same way as you flash TWRP but just use the stock firmware. Hope this helps. Also, please make sure that the firmware is correct and if not, your phone will be stuck in a boot loop.

Yup the download went very slow, took 2 hours to complete. So i succeeded with flahsing stock android on the phone. But when i booted the phone, it instantly told me that an unauthorised wipe took place and before i could continue with starting the phone, i had to log in with the google account which was on the phone before the wipe. So can any1 help me with this, cuz im out of options here.

You have two options. The google account has a cool off period and I read that if you wait 24 hours, the login will be gone. However, on old android phones, you have to wait 72 hours. But if you go to a Samsung service center, they will remove the logins for free.
I found this website where you can bypass the lock but I am not sure if it works. Do the samsung bypass and not any other brands. Try it anyway: https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/bypass-google-account-verification-factory-reset-protection/
