SM-N9860 Soft Brick Recovery - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu

Hi All,
I brick my SM-N9860, after playing with changing csc on TGY firmware I got to situation that my phone doesn't boot to system and I have FRP lock. Its stuck on download mode (attached pics).
Factory reset in recovery mode doesn't work and I cant flash new firmware with odin because of FRP lock.
Maybe some can help how can I resolve this issue?
I tried to flash combination file with pit file but I get error that there is a FRP lock. I wanted to try the option in recovery "Apply update with adb" but I cant find OTA file for SM-N9860.
From what I understood there is some boxes and dongles like Octoplus Pro Box that can reflash the phone and remove the FRP lock but maybe there is a solution easier than this that works with odin??
The problem is to make my phone to boot, than I could remove the FRP lock because my problem not the google credentials only that it not boot up after factory reset...

Thanks) I wish it was just a cable..)

Try to look in maybe s20 ultra or s20 forum, they was released earlier and perhaps someone has already had this problem and solved it.

Why don't you just put your Samsung account and password in? Because that's what you need to do in order to turn off the frp.. If you're going to tell us you don't know the Samsung user account and password that's only going to make us think the phone is stolen because that's basically what frp is meant to do block people from using it or doing updates or factory resetting it to try to remove the frp.. All you need is your Samsung account and password..

Man are you serious?! I told you the problem not that I cant put my google or samsung credentials.. THE PHONE doesn't boot to the system at all can you understand this?! You can find me in another tread where I tried for cople weeks with guys from this forum to make our phone to work with native call record and reflash it many times with difrent firmware( CHC, TGY) and only one time I forgot to delete my google and samsung account before reflashing. So please dont tell me what you think, if you cant contribute to resolving and helping dont comment like you know something about me.

Can you do me a favor with a patched version of Odin or just try multiple different Odin versions and flash only the CSC, AP and BL. and yes this is going to factory reset it probably but at least you might have the phone back.. Is this an unlocked bootloader phone btw? Edit: Make sure you're flashing the correct BL AP and CSC that the phone originally came with. Edit: Can you tell me what the last firmware was that you had on it?

I will try it, the phone is unrooted and with locked bootloader like it came from factory with no knox tripped. The last firmware that I was is "SM-N9860_20201112_TGY_N9860ZSU1BTJ9-N9860OZS1BTJ9-N9860ZCU1BT"
but the modification that I made was with SamKEY changed the CSC to CHC and after that flashed CHC csc file with odin, so in settings I had region CHC,CHC/CHC,TGY
Thanks for help

Flash just the CSC, AP and BL of the firmware version N9860ZSU1BTJ9 if that doesn't work then try flashing the CSC, AP and BL from the firmware version N9860ZSU1ATGM and see if that works..

Hi Chetbiz,
On your original thread, I did mention a ”patched” version of ODIN, I thought you already tried it. I guess not...
So there is still chance [emoji848].

Hi fjorger)
I tryed with patched odin yesterday, what I didn't try is to flash only 3 files, AP, BL, CSC.. so I'll try it tomorrow evening after I'll get my phone back from technician hopefully he we'll succeed but I'm doubt it...
Thanks)

Got my phone back from technician, they didn't success to reflash it, I tried to flash firmware with patched odin and only BL, AP, CSC same here, error cant download pit file because of frp lock...

From what I understand I need Binary 4 file to unlock frp lock, maybe some one knows something about this file and if we got one anywhere?

I have never heard about it before, sorry

You may have to bite the bullet and send back to Samsung and have them reset the phone to original factory condition. It may cost some money, but better that than not having a phone at all -- a lot less than buying a new note for sure.
If you can't get it to flash on your own, I think that is your only option.
One quick thought - have you tried to turn off the phone and then boot back into Download mode? if not, try holding power and volume down until screen turns off - and when it is still off -quickly plug the USB cord into your phone. This will (should) force download mode - if it works - click volume up and then use Odin to try to flash the last firmware file you have (try all four files)
I don't know if this will help or make a difference, but if you haven't already tried this - it may work for you.
Good luck....

Yes I think too that sending back to seller is my only option, I'm trying to connect with him, I bought on ebay, the problem he's doesn't answering me.
About download mode of course I entered the download mode after he was turned off. Nothing works, the strange thing that its fails to flash the latest tgy firmware, there I dont have an error about pit file or frp lock but its still failes on AP file when trying to write super.img... So I don't know what the solution for that, maybe in next firmware version it
will succeed

You probably already tried this - but just in case, go to this link and download the most recent PATCHED Odin -
Then get several different USB Cords - Samsung Original is usually the best - but get different cords just the same -
then try to flash all four files in that patched odin - if it fails, close odin - open it again and reload the files and try again using a different USB Cord.
I believe that if you keep trying, you will eventually get it to work...
By the way, If you can't get the Seller to do the right thing - contact SAMSUNG Support and arrange to send it back to them. They may charge you (Probably around $100 or so I think) but they can definately help you get it working again.
Hope that helps - Good Luck.

super.img is from AP. Try to flash the build that was working on your phone before the issue happened, but without the AP.

Install app called "phone Info" from google store, it will take you to correct firmware as per your country origin.

That shouldn't have failed, CSC mismatch is not a cause of flash failure. Can you provide more details?
Hm...
Hi guys,
I had an issue similar to this and have no recollection what I did to fix it. I don't even think that I fixed it, ever. Meaning - no stock ROM install for me for months and months now.
I just downloaded some AOSP/TW ROM and flashed. Are you able to get to the custom recovery? Please confirm - I've read somewhere that you can flash stock from custom recovery. I did try a few "PIT" files, with no help.
P.S. I remembered a bit now. I was finally able to flash it through Odin, but entered boot loop. So, no go!
My eyes are on this thread.
Good luck,
Sonny B.

Um sorry for the late reply. So what happens is i down the firmware from sammobile sure that it was for my model and build number but the csc was of switzerland different than mine next i flashed the rom from 3 different versions of odin starting from v.3.10 it started saying checking md5 file and it was taking too long and we had lost hope then suddenly it said md5 read succesfully and then brought up another dialouge saying setup connection and then cam up with a fail message usb debugging and all the process was done correctly i know this is a late reply but please reply back if you are there thanks

If it was a pass message on odin it shouldve worked go into recovery mode and do a factory reset from there it should work it happened with me too but remember dont leave the phone switched on as its stuck in boot loop cause when the powers dead ur phone wont charge any more it would keep thinking as if its not bieng charged if thats what u did i recommend making a factory cable search it on google and charge from that so the device knows its bieng charged once the wipe data is done reset and hopefully it would work if not i think u should flash another stock rom again i hope i helped

Hi guys ,
There're three possibilities about the country origin by comparing the data on sammobile.You can try to flash these three versions firmwares.one of them must be correct! Portugal PDA:N9005XXUDMJ7 CSC:N9005OPTDMJ4 SLOVENIA PDA:N9005XXUDMJ7 CSC:N9005OXXDMJ4 POLAND PDA:N9005XXUDMJ7 CSC:N9005PRTDMJ4.download link is also on sammobile.com!

Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser'. Download the firmware for your device and flash it via Odin.

What firmware files do I need to complete reflash my Note 4 SM-N910F?

I got a bricked Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (910F) vodafone branded.
it's totally broken I can't start it, can't go into recovery (the hardware buttons are OK).
I can only go into download mode.
tried flashing everything with odin back to stock. followed many different instructions and now I'm lost.
can someone tell me what exact files I need?
I think I have the right firmware downloaded BUT what about the bootloader? on sammobile under germany-vodafone there are so many different versions which one shall I choose?
AND: Do I need CSC? if so which one and where to find? Couldn't find it on sammobile.
And am I right with putting the bootloader under BL, the firmware under AP, the CP (whatever this is) under CP, the csc under csc?
repartition unchecked as I read somewhere.
I still don't understand what this "pit" file is for and I'm not sure if I have the right one.. never had a phone with sooo many different firmware files..
I'm used to flash via fastboot "recovery.img, boot.img, system.img" odin is a new thing for me
HELP PLEASEEE :'(
the reactivation lock is on.

The note 4 firmware is usually only 1 file that contains all you need. It contains the bootloader and CSC that you pick during download. Just pick the CSC for your country.
This is unless you get a 4 file repair firmware, which contains separate bootloader, system, and CSC files.
The pit file is only needed to repartition your device.
But with all off that aside, you state that your activation lock is activated. These means the phone was password protected.
If you tell me your country, I can at least point you to the correct firmware. So at least you'll know you got the correct one.
But as far as the activation lock, I can't help with that. "Google"
Edit. I now see you mentioned Germany Voda.
So here's the most current firmware for your device.

Download and unzip.
Then if it's just 1 file that's .md5 then you put it in AP slot.
If it's 4 files put them in appropriate slots.

This reactivation lock doesn't matter I found a solution how to bypass it when the phone is set up running android.
my question is, is it possible to flash firmware to the note4 at all with reactivation lock on? Or is that just an android thingy?
And yes please that would be nice if you show me the right firmware.
My model:
N910F GSMH
I believe it is vodafone branded because when it once worked it showed a vodafone logo while starting up.
my country is Germany.
I hope thats enough info :/

I believe it should still flash with lock. If it isn't flashing something is wrong.
If you can't get Odin to flash that firmware try this and see what happens.
Download TWRP and flash it. Can you boot into recovery then? If so download a custom rom and flash it and see what happens.

I have the right latest samsung drivers installed yes.
I have the Odin version you just sent a link of. ( I also tried different older versions but no success).
I can't boot into recovery doesn't work. the hardware buttons are 100% working as I have to press vol+ to confirm to go into download mode.
I tried flashing TWRP and CWM both didn't work "custom recovery blocked by A/L error".
I can successfully flash firmware with Odin. It says "PASS" and then the phone reboots and is stuck on Samsung Logo. and sometimes it just shows blue text "recovery booting" but is stuck. nothing happens.

Thanks for the link I'm downloading.
After flashing odin says PASS and my note 4 reboots. then there are 2 cases which in my view appear randomly. Either it shows the samsung logo and is stuck.
OR it shows the samsung logo and a blue little text in the upper left corner saying "recovery booting" and is stuck. I waited like 5 minutes. shall I wait longer? :/ hm..I'll try
OH and sometimes the screen just goes black idk if it really turns off after getting stuck on samsung logo.
Pull the battery, leave it out for 10+ minutes
Put battery back in
Boot to download mode (Power + Vol Down + Home)
Then try (re)flashing stock ROM via odin, i would try the earliest you can find to have the best chance, you can always flash a later one if you get it running
Better range of ROMS from sammobile, i never use updato for that reason: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note4/SM-N910F/VD2/
If none of that works, then its likely you have a hardware fault ...emmc or other

I could freak out really.. I tried flashing again. same issue. I could then press the recovery mode key combo to get into this rotating android logo screen but everytime it just freezes and turns off. yes the battery is fully charged before I started flashing this firmware now. I flashed the one u said the earliest. So Now I tried the one the other guy here showed me. didn't work either. it just gets stuck at samsung logo. I found a repair firmware for my model containing (pit, bl, ap, cp, csc and odin) I flashed all but odin fails "write error". I then tried odin v3.0.7 but then it got stuck while flashing the system image. I waited like 1 hour. nothing. tried it again. nothing it freezes on the same position. I then tried the same on the latest versions of odin v3.12.3, 3.12.7 and on 3.13.1 but it also freezes on system.img.ext4 image flashing..

Try the Samsung Smart Switch for PC - like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QhJngOuLQ4&t=337s
Good luck, maybe it will work - for me it did work for the 910C.

doesnt work. I tried several versions of smartswitch AND samsung kies. nothing works it always says my model is not supported. I reinstalled drivers. tried on another pc. tried another usb port. yes I'm using the original stock usb cable. model not supported. But I've also read that in other threads that the 910F model seems to be unknown by kies or smartswitch. I'm rly starting to hate samsung now. I have never ever had so many problems with flashing and so on.

afaik the "repair" fimeware is no better than flashing a stock ROM in one file...
its startng to sound like a hardware error, if it cant even write to the dvice theres really not many (probably any) options left.
ive purposely bricked a phone and recovered it (not recommended of course), ive never had or never saw as much effort youve put in to try and recover a phone...

HOW? If I can't boot into recovery mode?

(Problem) SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2. Binary: 1.

Hello guys!
I have a big problem with my S7 edge (G935F)... The problem begins when I forget to turn off the OEM security and then I did an update to my Magisk root... When I tried to reboot my phone it doesn't pass of the first logo image, meaning that I broke the "security", so I read about that and then I flashed a firmware, an official UK (BTU I guess) firmware and then I flashed TWRP via Odin to restore a nandroid that I did when I bought my phone... It restored the EFS partition/folder and when my phone reboots I had no network signal, no IMEI... I just tried everything (I hope not) and I can't give back my IMEI and my network signal... When I try to patch the certificate to recover my IMEI via Odin in the download mode it says: SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:2. Binary:1
I don't know if I explained it because my english is too bad, but I tried, I know that someone else have the same problem than I because I saw it. Do you find the solution? I'm out of my country and I need it so much :crying:
Regards!

Thank you for answer me.
I did it with three diferent stock firmwares and the problem persists (no network signal) I think that is something with the EFS folder, I restored a backup of it but is the same, I have not signal yet, but thank you!

Hey brother it happened with me too, unfortunately, I had to format my internal storage to fix this, you need to flash the latest nougat firmware via odin with csc including bl and modem and then start in recovery then format and start phone, remember you would need to put the google account which was previously there in the phone to unlock and complete setup process (very important here)

Download the latest firmware from https://updato.com (it's fast and reliable) then start in download mode, run odin with administrative privileges, select BL AP Modem and CSC (dont use home since we wish to clean fornat), and in odin uncheck auto reboot option, after the ODIN shows 'pass', disconnect the cord from pc, now you have to be very quick here since our battery is not removable, in order to shut down s7 edge from odin mode, all you have to do is press, volume down, volume up, home and power and as soon as it goes off connect the cord, the battery will show up and now it will be in charging state, after that disconnect the cord, (the phone is now clean fornatted and in off stage) and now boot into recovery to wipe data and cache using default recovery, then reboot phone and then log into your existing google account.
I know its tricky and maybe there's an ez way around it but this worked for me so I'm sharing

I tried it at first instance but I could not because my Bootloader was updated to the "U2" version, what I did after that was search the Combination file updated to the U2 bootloader, after a long search I found it.
In resume, The solution is what the OP of that thread says but if you have the same problem like me with the Updated bootloader you need this file instead of the files that are shown there:

ok, get the firmware for your phone from sammobile.com but use samfirm or frija to download it, flash the firmware in Odin 9 time. yes, 9 times. try booting between flashes and itll go away by the 9th time. Not even kidding
9 time flashing. No chance. FRP lock is almost there.
Installed is G935FXXS6ESI4
What can i do ? Any Idea = Combination Firmware ?

not anymore. there was a patch that fixed the bug that allowed this to occur. Sammy is always right on our tails. now you need the combination firmware, which you flash in Odin as well then follow it up with the stock firmware from sammobile since the combination FW isnt really bootable (it is, but its weird lol)

I flashed the combination firmware. After that I flashed my stock firmware but now I get stuck on recovery screen. First it says "Erasing" and then the dead Android mascot shows up. Can't boot into system. Any suggestions? FRP Lock is still on and I can't flash TWRP, custom binary is locked by frp.
possible solution
Hi, how are you? I'm sorry for my english, I'm from Brazil and I'm using the ksks translator so with my j5 i used the frp hijacker (just put it on google) there you choose the phone model, put it in download mode, install the program on the computer, choose the model, check remove frp and a hijack it! and ready frp unlocked

tried it on another computer? Ive had that issue with my desktop/laptop(s). I never dug into what caused it to fail on the desktop vs working on a few laptops. Literally everything else works exactly as it should on the desktop so i just let it be an unresolved oddity. Likely not worth the time it would take to resolve. Anywho, try a different computer and/or diff cable. I just ordered an Anker cable from amazon and its thicker and more sturdy than the micro usb cable ive been hanging on to from my old blackberry tour. Cables are stupid cheap online these days, even for the very very good ones. Perhaps worth a shot, but i cant suggest that you spend money on anything. I can say that its what I would do.

bricked sm-t580

could not do normal boot invalid kernel length

the only thing i can do is get into download mode - but i fail when i try to install a stock rom via odin - after NAND Write Start!! it times out and gives me a fail.
i already tried a 3 different odin versions and adroid 6.0, 7.0 and 8.01 Stock Rom for SM-T580 but no luck so far.
another problem is my friend does not know what the android version he was on before that hapend - and the tablet has Samsung FRP on.
maybe some of the experts here have an advice what i can try otherwise this tab a is really bricked - furthermore i wonder how this could happen as my friend swears he did not try to put twrp or anything else onto the tablet ....
Have you tried flashing TWRP using ODIN? (AP Slot)
i do not know if flashing twrp is a good idea as i do not know if oem unlock is enabled - and as it does not boot up i cannot switch it on in developer options

Wouldn't it simply fail if OEM unlocking was disabled? I don't know honestly. I'd try it if no other solutions come up.

I think you are going about it wrong. Instead of booting to download mode, try booting to recovery mode via Home, Vol Up and Power and then selecting Factory Reset. This is always necessary before you can use download to flash a ROM via Odin and it might make using Odin unnecessary.
of course i tried to get into receovery mode but the problem is i can't - when i do home, vol up and power absolutely nothing happens, i only get into download mode
edit: i believe FRP is the Problem this prevents odin from writing the files to the tablet - as it allways times out with :
Complete(Write) operation failed.

what i do not really understand is why FRP does not let odin flash an original samsung firmware ?
[QUOTE what i do not really understand is why FRP does not let odin flash an original samsung firmware ?[/QUOTE]
This sounds more like a binary issue. I have reason to believe you are what's called an FRP Binary Lock. Recovery is usually inaccessable or re-routed and you cannot "seem" to use Odin3 but in fact you can. This issue you apparently are having sounds oddly like some issues I've had on these devices and is often a result of bad Rooting or invalid firmware being installed. This overloads the binaries and puts the device in a locked mode with symptoms of an inaccessible Recovery a difficult to use Odin3 or a bootloop. Most of the time I hear of a notification somewhere of an FRP lock. If this is the situation you are in here is a link to a page of mine that will give you the files to helpfully solve your issue. Let me know if that works or not.

The situation I was suspecting is a "Custom Binaries are Blocked by FRP Lock" to which you would have seen a notification of it in one of 4 ways. Your situation is somewhat similar because you cannot access Recovey and although Download Mode is accessable it appears useless. Your device is not Bricked. A bricked device is unusable in any way and these days most devices can be restored.
You do seem to be having some difficulties that are usually common with binary issues. You can in fact use Odin3 but how is the question. Usually one can flash in the Stock firmware and that returns the device to normal. When it becomes impossible to flash in stock firmware or anything else it seems, to my experiance has always been a Binary issue. I will provide a link to the 4File Official firmware. And instructions for you to properly use it for your needs.
SM-T580 Official Stock Firmware 4Files
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zvhwUfSRW44V1ZwEsHLRvlh-T0M79ks9
I'll assume you know something about using Odin3. Unzip the file to your desktop. There are 4 files but you'll only use 3 of them. You can use the patched version of Odin3.13B or you can use Odin3.14. Place the files in their respective places. BL, and AP are easy enough to see where they go. Now there is a file labeled CSC and one labeled HOME CSC. You will only use one of them. The CSC file returns your app data to factory settings (it erases everything). The Home CSC file keeps the app data. So it's your choice which one you choose. These are Official Firmware Files so you should be able to flash them in. Should that not work for you my most likely answer would be that your binaries are the issue and that is why you can't as of yet use Odin sucessfully. Does Odin even try to initiate a flash then stalls or does it do nothing altogether?
There are two different Binary files for the SM-T580 that I have. I would suggest using the Binary 4 FRP first. f I recall correctly the Odin3.13B patched version was made for this. Place the file in the AP section and try flashing it. You should get a few gears on the screen turning if it applied, or maybe not. If that fails use the U4 Binary Unlock file. It is only after you flash in the binary files that you can then install the Stock Firmware. It is the overloaded binaries that prevent the use of Odin as you may be experiancing. I am also including the Knox cleaner in case you need to reset it.
SM-T580 Binary files:
Binary 4 FRP Unlock
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iXrZR2E7m6Ai5InAw8u3lzeLhb3ThRo5
U4 Binaries. This is two files. Flash one at a time using the AP section. They are labeled 1rst or 2nd

2. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xsw4GVYtNMJhiMXV2cR2jaJvToG_n6Pi
Knox Cleaner: Also flashed in using the AP section of Odin3

Only if they could get into Recovery they may be able to reset it.
I have never once needed to go to Recovery to do "anything" before using Odin3 to flash.
The only time I've had to go there (repetedly) and reset was when trying to get past FRP Google Account Protection. Sometimes it takes out the page I want to get to and I need to reset it to get to it again. This is "not" always neccesary before flashing a ROM which rewrites the device programing.
sorry for double post
@Casper Young
thanks for your help so far, i am gonna try your suggestions on weekend when i have a bit more spare time - hope i can get the tab running again
