Stuck on recovery mode after NCG Kernel flash on S5 SM-G900V

I have been literally sitting in front of my PC for hours on end to try and resolve this issue. I cant get back my current firmware now even. Just stuck on the recovery mode. I flashed NCG kernal and it went through as normal, however, all it does not is after the samsung loading sign it goes back into system recovery. I have tried everything from cache wipe to factory reset, system reboot, everything! it just does the same thing - goes back into recovery mode- it is getting really frustrating for me. I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me exactly how to get out of it and use the phone as normal again.
I am on sm-g900v
G900VVRU2BOG5
Verizon mobile S5
I have tried to flash almost all the available ROMS and nothing works everytime this come up: ( i am using the latest Kies drivers, Odin 3.10.6, etc)..

PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU

You are on the latest OTA of BOG5. The bootloader is completely locked down and you cannot root, downgrade, or flash anything. You are stuck with the phone as is. You will have to find the BOG5 full stock firmware .tar file and flash that through ODIN to get your phone back.

Damn!!!!
do you know any links from where i can download the BOG5 firmware from?

I am having the exact same issue. Any help is appreciated!

I am also stuck with the same issue on my S5. I attempted to flash the NCG Kernel from Android 5.0 using the file referenced in here: androidbiits.com/root-verizon-samsung-galaxy-s5-sm-g900v-android-4-4-4-kitkat/ (sorry I can't post links yet). Now my phone can't leave recovery mode. Did you guys figure out where to get the BOG firmware or how to fix this issue?

You need to reinstall the BOG5 firmware on the S5 again. You can download it via sammobile.com You can pay £5.40 approx if your from UK and download the firmware quicker within an hour otherwise be prepared to wait 11 hours minimum for download to complete.

So I managed to get mine back working by using the VZW-G900VVRU2BOG5-20150813111348.zip firmware downloaded from Sammobile.com and flashing using Odin3.
Used the first firmware on Sammobile firmware page for model SM-G900V
Unzipped the file and flashed the .md5
Back up and running.
Hope this helps someone.

Seriously, do none of you have even the basic, simple ability to look through these forums at all? The answer to your question is right here in the Verizon Galaxy S5 General forum:

You simply scroll down to the fourth thread and see that it is this one:

Hey man, I am new here. I was freaking out the other night because everything I was trying was failing. I understand with a little more patience and effort I could have found this. Then again with a little more research before attempting to root I probably would have avoided the whole issue. I messed up, my bad.

Understood. It just gets very old and frustrating answering the same questions over and over again, and questions for which the answer is already readily available. Glad you got it straightened out, and that you realized more research before embarking on your adventure would have helped. When it comes to messing around with an expensive piece of hardware like these smart phones, it's best to think of the carpentry line - measure twice, cut once. Read, read, read, and make sure you know what you are doing before you do it when it comes to rooting and modding your phone.

Thanks a million! I thought my phone is toasted.

I tried updating the new firmware from sammobile and its not working.

I tried updating firmware but its not helping though firmware is updated successfully issue remains exist.
I was trying to install TRWP but it fails while flashing from ODIN and throws Complete(Write) Operation failed error.
Could any one please be advised the solution on it.

I'm sorry mate but I aint got s clue as to what you can do. The only thing I can think of is to try a different firmware. What are trying to install ? 6.1 or 5.1.1 ?
I would try going up or down depending on what your running.
Is there no way that you can contact Google and ask for your ID ?
Can you access the files on your phone via a PC ?
I would have thought that when you flashed via Odin that it would just overwrite what ever was on the phone before ?
Have you tried to root it before TWRP ?
I'm sure that it will get sorted people are good in here
But it's
All very strange

Hey thanks fro quick response.
I am trying to install 5.1.1
I gonna go for 6.1 now. Its getting downloaded .. download sucks though from sammobile. Download is very slow.
No way to contact google and the one who used this phone before.

Have you got link for google drive for 6.1 ?

Hi, I have j510fn and I was a rom tester,
I have a problem since I flashed
J510FNXXU2APK6_J510FNODD2APK2_J510FNXXU2APK2_HOME.tar.md5
to test light stock rom v3 from Kingraheel
what happens is that NOW I can't flash any other firmware by odin... when I click START it says FAIL and in my device there is this text in red
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1
I just want to flash my OFFICIAL firmware
J510FNXXU1APG1_J510FNPHE1APG1_J510FNXWU1APFC_HOME.tar.md5
but I can't... only APK6 firmware works on odin... any other firmware works.... can you help me?
I don't have any NANDROID backup of previous versions... only of my actual firmware... APK6
My computer does not detect my device... I have the drivers installed, and I tried on all the USB ports... it charges but not open files.... PLEASE HELP
---------------------------------------
SOLVED, SAME PROBLEM? CONTACT ME

Here is HOW I SOLVED IT:
This error happens when you before have updated from "U1" to "U2" and then you try to flash a firmware with "U1" (UX appears in the firmware "name")
So, the simple solution is to flash the stock firmware with the same "UX" that you had before your device gor bricked.
In my case, testing KingRaheel's ROMS I flashed an Indian firmware (...U2APK6...) at this moment I didn't know I ****ed up. But don't worry, I simply had updated the "U" and how I didn't know it, I tried to flash lots and lots of firmwares with "U1" without knowing what was happening. After long nights, I tried to flash my last firmware from SPAIN (PHE) with "U2" and it worked.
I hope I helped you. I used SM-J510FN (J5 2016)
If you have another device, try the same but with your current model, any questions, ask by twitter/dm
Sent from my SM-J510FN using XDA Labs

Odin not work

Hey Guys,
Edit
So it turns out you can't even flash the Canadian S7 to Tmobile's firmware. I installed the super stock rom and it started working again. I am not on the official Tmobile modem but I get service and WiFi calling so no biggie.
/Edit
This is driving me crazy. I bought the Canadian version of the S7 edge so I can put TWRP on it but I can't use odin on it. (SM-G935W8) Well at least I can't put the Tmobile files on it. Has anyone been able to do it successfully? I really need help, I'm losing my marbles, thanks guys!
I can't flash my appropriate radio so I can't get any service.
This is the error I get whenever I try to flash the radio.

Made sure OEM unlock was checked and USB Debugging was off. I am using the phone right now but I am not on USA radio so my service is not that great but I have WiFi calling so I am making due right now.

You need to ask in the section for your phone, not the software you want to load.
Try this:

It's not software, it's the radio and bootloader. That thread had no information related to my problem? Maybe I missed something? Thank you for your time.

Well, you're trying to load TMobile software onto hardware with a different bootloader than the TMobile version has so...

I'm not sure if you're trolling or not but I am NOT trying to install TMobile software. I am trying to install the radio from USA. I have done it before but for some reason this phone keeps giving me an error through Odin. I thought maybe someone knew of a way to sideload the radio. I searched and found fastboot but I cannot load up fastboot through my S7, I think they removed that feature? Anyway, in case you really aren't trolling you can install a radio that is not from your region as long as you have an unlocked bootloader (which I have now).
*Edit I installed the Tmobile CSC so I'm not sure why you're still hung up on Tmobile software

Your first post mentions twrp, then you mention files, then at the end radio so excuse me for not knowing which one of these you're inquiring about...

Not yet. I was able to restore the phone back to everything stock using Kies but I am still on the Canadian modem. I can actually get service now but now my main issue is I cannot use Samsung Pay since the radios do not match. I wonder if I get a Tmobile S7 edge serial number I can restore it with Kies?

Troubleshoot very weird boot problem

Sorry for the long post.
Got this sprint S7 as a 2nd hand unlocked phone a while back and worked quite nicely for almost a year. Now very often when I reboot it gets stuck on the LTE boot logo. While it is at it, it will burn through the battery in like 30m-1h, the phone gets very hot. This has already happened a handful of times so I try to never reboot unless very necessary. This doesn't happen on every single reboot though.
Right now it's showing the same issue. Before I've notice it'll do this for a few days and the like magic will start working again. It sucks because right now my phone is as good as dead.
The phone is not rooted and it's running stock ROM, with latest firmware and all updates(I checked for updates a couple days ago and there was none), but I don't know which exact version is at.
I've already tried rebooting into recovery and powering off and restarting from there. But no luck.
I had a strong suspicion this was due to switching sim cards (I moved a few months ago) and sometimes a "UICC unlock needed" (or sth like that) message has been shown but the phone continues to work. Today a friend mentioned it could be the battery. He said if the battery is damaged it could be causing problems on boot but I have no clue if that's true and/or how to check for it.
I'd thank anyone who could tell me how to troubleshoot this problem and find the real cause. I'm comfortable following some technical instruction to be able to grab logs from linux command line if someone taught me how.
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried reflashing the stock firmware via odin? If you could tell me which network you're using it on, I could point you to the firmware you would need. Here's a basic overview for the phones and their corresponding firmwares:
SM-G93OP- Sprint
SM-G930T- T-Mobile
SM-G930A- AT&T
SM-G930V- Verizon
SM-G930U- Universal, but you need the correct version of it for your carrier.

Hi TheFlipSide,
I have a sprint version so I have SM-G93OP- Sprint
It is possible something might have gone wrong at some point in time but I have done factory resets before, I'm skeptical that the firmware itself could be the issue but I'm happy to give it a try.
Could you point me to the files needed to be sure I'm on the most accurate firemware (CP, BOOT, etc type of files).
Also, any issues with my phone being up to date with all the updates?
Personally I'd be happier to be able to flash sth like LineageOS but AFAIU there's not much support for this phone.

You can't flash LineageOS on this phone because the bootloader is locked. You can get ODIN to flash the firmware with from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByoIewGd_qk2MEZMb0l3Qlo4ek0/view?usp=drivesdk
Unzip it and click on the ODIN3 v3.12.7 file, you don't need to install anything it opens as an app.
Grab the firmware from here: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=48A2011F925C11E7963AFA163EE8F90B
Unzip it and select the files through odin:
CP in CP.
CSC in CSC.
AP in AP.
BL in BL.
Then go into options and select auto reboot and repartition, and keep everything else unchecked.
Hit start and wait for the firmware to flash.
Go into stock recovery, and wipe cache and factory reset.
Hit thanks on the posts if I helped you.

TheFlipSide thanks so much for helping me out.
Quick questions. The firmware link you sent is for SM-G930U. But AFAIK my phone is SM-G930P (Sprint model), since it even shows the Sprint animation on boot. Let me know if that was a small mistake or if theres a good reason to flash the Universal version on a sprint phone.
Also, assuming it was a small mistake I'm looking at that firmware page. Looks like the latest version for the SM-G930P comes in 3 flavors: VMU, XAS and SPR.
Do you know what those are and which one should i get?
Thanks again in advance!

Use the SPR variant of the SM G930U firmware, as it comes without the Sprint bloat. If you still want to use the SM-G930P firmware, get it here: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=080CDA3799FF11E7963AFA163EE8F90B

Trying to reboot manually to get into download mode, or anything else also doesn't work.
Halp!

You can't flash the U firmware if you are on the latest sprint firmware. Download the latest firmware from here
And follow the same directions for placing files into ODIN. You are getting the PIT error because of bootloader updates.

Hi Ivpre, thanks a lot for jumping in. So I managed to get my phone in download mode again. Also I google one more error that was showing up in the phone screen "Fuse 5 > aboot 4" (or sth like that, I can't remember exactly) and the internetz said that it was indeed due to having a version missmatch, the new one should be higher.
So I downloaded the latest G930P from sammobile site (G930PVPU5BQJ3) and got it to work again. I also found another thread to said the only thing to do is wait until a new G930U comes out.
What I don't fully get is that now that I've installed "latest" firmware. As soon as I configured the phone it said a new update is available. If I update it now, and a new version of G930U also comes out in a bit, will that mean I'll remain one version ahead? Should I not apply any updates until a new version of G930U is out? or should I try downgrading the current G930P ?
Thanks!

Yeah, apparently they just released a small update (QK3 maybe?) that patched an exploit. That update was just released the other day. You can take it or leave it, it shouldn't prevent you from installing the U firmware when it is updated.
If you really want to install the U firmware and can't wait, you can research PIT files, but it can lead to fully breaking the device if you mess up...personally, I would just wait. It was an old method that would work, but I'm not sure if it works on the new bootloader updates.

Hi Guys,
I'm on the same boat as joel_gil,
I've got S7 (originally purchased on sprint USA network) and now I've unlocked it using idoneapps without root.
I'm on G930PVPU5BQJ3 firmware at the moment and I'd like to flash G930U firmware which is network unlocked and not bloatware free.
I've downloaded the firmware below multiple times from sammobile.com and tried flashing using latest Odin 3.12.10 and everytime I am getting error message.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930U/SPR/download/G930UUES4BQL1/201542/
I have also tried XAS version as well but same result
SW check failed aboot fused 5 > binary 4 message.
I've got FRP and OEM unchecked and still its giving me same error.
I'd appreciate if you guys can have a look and help me please.
Many thanks in advance guys

You can't install the U firmware...the bootloader binary files are different. You will have to wait for the U firmware to catch up in order to install it. However, you can install the latest Sprint firmware without any issue.

I fixed it.
5 > BINARY 4 error, has to do with a Version 5 bootloader Sprint came out with in 2018. The fact that this is only affected by the SM-G390P further complicates things for the average user. Users on version 5 bootloader will need to wait until/If a version 5 universal bootloader for the SM-G930U to get unbloated firmware. Information on restoring your S7 SM-G930P to where you left off before you started trying to root your phone can be found below. More info on Sprint F'n us and BL Version 5, and how to tell the files apart can be found here
https://www.arencambre.com/blog/2018...omment-page-1/. There was a post on XDA (which I can't find) which gave the idea that Sprint came out with this version 5 bootloader to prevent people from flashing the phones to the U version and going overseas with them.
The stock files for the first version of Sprint Version 5 bootloader firmware dated 1-1-18 can be found here:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930P/SPR/download/G930PVPS5BRA1/206876/
Unzip. Only have auto reboot and Re-partition checked as options in Odin.

[FIX] For those who get stuck on sboot.bin.lz4 when try to flash firmware S8 G950F

Hello, many times i was trying to flash stock firmware from my country but i couldnt because i was getting stuck on sboot.bin.lz4 , well if you get stuck there too the solution is to flash the firmware from another version of odin. A little search on google didnt hurt me tho , so just get the version of the link bellow and Voila .. ! if you have any other problem i might can help you, post down your comments
https://download.highonandroid.com/file/Tools/ODIN/Odin3_v3.13.1.zip

Works
Thanks, this solved my issue

My question is that I'm afraid of having trouble updating with odin. I did some time ago an odin update on a 3 note and it failed. A triangle appeared on the screen and had to be brought in for technical assistance. I have all the files downloaded here for the s8, with the latest odin, but I do not know if I upgrade or not, or if I expect the OTA .... On my S8 is with ((XX1CRAP) no problems, but the pack security is February 1. And by Sammobiles 2 new updates have come out.I'm in doubt.

So what was the problem ? You installed an older version of Odin and your phone got stuck on triangle?

I did the same, but I used the CSC instead of Home_CSC and my device was wiped clean. However, I had backed up my entire device and just did a restore after boot-up. I think the problem is from using incompatible software upgrades from different regions.

When I had this problem, it was with note 3, and I had to take technical assistance to get back to normal, but if I remember correctly I used a rom from another location. So my fear is to make a mistake with my s8, but all I downloaded to upgrade the S8 was from the same location I'm using today.
---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------
I do not know it's worth upgrading the S8 to the most current software, the safe pack is from February 1, 2018. According to Sammobiles already software of month 5 for my device from my region.

It's because of the compression older version cant handle it..3.13.1 works.

Some more info other than ' it didn't work ' would be helpful in trying to solve your issues.
Failng at sboot.bin can mean a few things.
So info like maybe a screenshot of odin,any other errors in odin, current firmware on phone, firmware trying to flash etc would helpful.

Thanks a lot! This solved my issue! A little, but big, detail lol

You cannot downgrade firmware due to bootloader version numbers hence errors ie: Oreo to nougat
