Probably all you need are the AP and BL. The CSC is a maybe but you don't need CP.

Bootloader or Kit Kat Problem?

Hi, I came from 4.3 rooted but untripped knox firmware. Now I have updated to 4.4.2 Singapore firmware but have maintained to keep knox intact and root using MOP and PC Odin for flashing bootloader. My problem is, whatever I do, the keyboard and pen input keeps force closing. I have tried reflashing, reset and data wipe. I used the bootloader from the leaked firmware as I have no idea how to extract the bootloader from the firmware. Did I do something wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
Or can anyone teach me how to extract the bootloader from the firmware? Or convert the 1 file firmware to 3 files firmware which have BL separated. Thanks!

Go to Sammobile.com. You can download the poland rom and it is broken up into 4 parts (BL - bootload, AP, CP and CSC).
Get ODIN 3.09 and flash JUST the BL part in the appropriate space.
Just remember though, once you update the bootloader, you can't go back to JB....

Hey, just an opinion. Search around G928G modem.tar and flash it by CP tab of odin before flashing the firmware. Than try flasing firmware. If fails again, remove modem.bin file from firmware(dont know how to). Otherwise extract the whole files from firmware, delete modem.bin and make the rest files as firmware with proper tool(TAR maker or else). Good luck.

SM-G935F Firmware for United States

Hello, I purchase a SM-G935F from a pawnshop today that was flashed with a custom ROM however it does not boot. The phone goes into download mode just fine and want to flash stock firmware but cannot find the USA version. The box came the phone and appears to be a USA version, the UPC code on the box is 8806088275123 and I check the IMEI on a website service and it came back with this model number SM-G935FZKLTTT and says it was sold in the USA. Any help from members would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you my friend, trying now.
I forgot to tell you that factory reset is required when switching from custom rom to stock rom so make sure you flash the non home CSC file and not the home_csc file.

Yes, it is in the download. When you download Samsung firmware from Sammobile or Updato website they come in a zipped file. You'll need to extract the zipped folder which will give you multiple files labelled AP, BL, CP, CSC and lastly HOME_CSC.
This is an example of what the files look like when the files are extracted from the downloaded firmware zip file:
http://prntscr.com/k07am0
The non_home csc file is used to tell the phone to wipe the user data on the phone when flashed, the home CSC is used if you don't want to wipe the user data on the phone when flashing firmware.

Right now the phone will not boot, it shows the title of the phone but then just loops back to a black screen.

Hello again Benjamen50, it failed on the first try, do I need to check re-partition? or Nand Erase? What about a Pit file? sorry to keep bothering you but I appreciate your help.

If you are flashing Oreo firmware which is 8.0 you need to use Odin 3.13 or newer as the older Odin software does not support flashing Oreo firmware.
The only buttons you need to click are BL, AP, CP, CSC then start and nothing else.
The default check boxes under options tab will be auto reboot and f reset time. Others should be left untouched and not checked.
You'll need to reboot download mode again which can be done by holding the download mode keys until you get that blue screen again or that it says that something ran into a problem with the blue screen which allows flashing as well.

Hello again, well I thought it worked because I got a PASS in Odin however, when the phone boots, I get a Black screen saying Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge then it goes to a blue screen with the android logo and it says erasing at the bottom for a few seconds then the screen goes black. The phone still goes into download mode however, it will not go into recover mode. Before flashing this I could get into recovery mode but would see a custom page with loading and rebooting options. Am I missing the stock boot loader? So sorry to keep bothering you about this.

try using octoplus samsung tool if you dont know how look it up on youtube first best of luck to you

Help with JOdin

Hi,
I am trying to restore my stock firmware, but am resorting to JOdin as I am on a MAC. The buttons are sightly different to the instructions I have been given (see attachment);
Which firmware files do I put in which field??? The files I have are;
AP_G950F......
BL_G950F......
CP_G950F......
CSC_OTF_G950F......
HOME_CSC_OTF_G950F......
Now I understand that either of the CSC files can go in the CSC box, and the BL files goes in the bootloader box, but I am unsure on the other two, PDA and PHONE... Is PHONE the CP file, or the AP file??? and is PDA the CP files or the AP File???
Some quick advice please

Many thanks
Now I just have to figure out why it thinks one of the files is corrupt I've downloaded it twice from Sammobile now :/ I'm trying to roll back from Pie to OREO :/
I tried to use JOdin too but i gave up cause it seemed not workinh. Tried to use heimdall too but no flashing tool seems to work properly with mac OS since support is outtaded.
I decided to use Bootcamp to install windows on my mac.
Bootcamp is a tool which you can easily install windows on your mac. I dont have no other solution. If you find one please let us know here
what is PIT?

PIT (Partition Information Table): you only need it if you screw up your partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it because of a change in the partition table layout.

SM-T580 Stock FW - CP partition missed ?

I do have problems - Wifi and BT can't be enabled. So I want to reflash Stock Rom.
In the manual at sammobile.com is mentioned to flash 4 partitions, AP, BL, CP, CSC - but in the download zip file there is no CP file (Modem/Radio).
I assume a reflash of CP might useful to recover Wifi/BT. How to get this file? Anything else I can do?
In the stock firmware there should be 4 files. I have this tab and have flashed OS without any problem. While downloading the firmware pls, Check the region and build number.
