I tried flashing Magisk onto my phone, everything was going well then suddenly it went into a boot loop and I assume Knox was tripped. I can get it into download mode but I can't find the firmware and I'm quite lost. Someone, please help!
I am also looking for my firmware. I must say it's a huge pain in the rear to find something that you can download for free.
From what I found it seems the fastest option is from samfw dot com
There, you have to find out your version, your region and carrier as well.
Good luck, you're not alone, although as you wrote it 4 days ago I assume and hope you already found something
edit: found better site

Hi,
So i tried to update my galaxy s6 edge to the latest firmware and once it did, it got stuck in the samsung screen and wont boot. The phone was rooted before, and now it just stays stuck. I have restarted the phone and now I have tried flashing the phone using Odin. It keeps saying failed and it shows the following:: " SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1"
I dont know what to do to be honest, if anyone can help me i would really appreciate it.
Might I suggest the S6 Edge boards? You're more likely to get the right answer there. You'll find those over here.
Still, this is a pretty general Samsung error.... Not my area of expertise, but a quick Google search on "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1" reveals this error occurs when you A, try to downgrade the bootloader, or B, flashed the wrong firmware.
Suggested solutions include booting in Download mode and flashing the correct firmware, or if that fails to flash the correct firmware with the PIT file.
Which firmware did you use?

Okay, that's officially weird. I've seen softbricks happen after OTAs quite a few times, but never with this error.
You should be able to find the correct firmware here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G925T/
As for the PIT file, there's no database of those. Someone on the T-Mobile S6 Edge boards probably has one. You'll need to ask on these boards, the link in my previous comment is for the international S6 Edge.

Next step would be to ask a moderator to move your thread
Hello,
I've a Galaxy S7 G935P from Sprint and accidentally was installed a different rom (the G935A rom including kernel, modem, and other, from AT&T) instead the most recent android for G935P.
I can access to download mode (and now this mode show the S7 Edge model as G935A instead G935P) but I can't install again the G935P software through Odin, I tried several times and nothing, also if I try to install a G935A I get an error and fail to upload the system.
I was reading other threads but they have problem with T-Mobile and AT&T, does anyone knows a way to recover the Sprint phone and install the original software?
Can be installed TWRP to solve the problem deleting all the system, data, cache and install a rom from TWRP recovery?
PS. I don't have warranty because the phone was rooted to unlock it.
Its worth a shot to try to flash the latest g935u rom. As far as i understand, it is a universal rom that is the same across all carriers.
you are bricked.
only hope is samsung warranty.
take it to your carrier's store and tell them your phone isn't working.
they will either replace it on the spot or give you a phone to borrow and order you a new one from samsung.
if you bought it off ebay or retail you are fuct.

I don't have warranty as mentioned above, so I can't replace the phone. I guess there is a method to unbrick the S7 Edge or something because I can use a special rom for tests (I can't see the samsung interface, but I can see the signal, touch, microsd and other) but I don't want to test without knowing, to avoid hardbrick or something.... maybe someone comments a method to solve it.

There is still hope.
Many of these phone store (sprint, tmobile, att, etc) have a samsung rep that comes by and promotes products.
Find one of these reps and he will help you.

I am a Market manager for Samsung Electronics America and I'l be honest with you, we are just going to recommend you to contact 1-800-SAM-SUNG and talk to ECR and give them our employee ID and say we already troubleshot and we recommended sending it in. Ask for a 1-day air shipping label.
I just want to let you know I fixed the phone using odin by Prince C. I installed G935P without problem and I tested G935 (now it works and has a better battery life) but I reversed to G935P. Thank you for all
He probably had the newest sprint version qj3 and tried to Odin the at&t version. Sprint updated the bootloader, so other firmware won't work until they are updated as well. Right now, sprint is on v5 and everyone else is v4... that's why it didn't work.
Yep. Error after reboot in recovery would have mentioned that Fuse 4 was invalid or something to that effect. Use the QJ1 ROM and should be good.

Hello Guys!,
Boy oh boy well to make this short and sweet and to the point. I am basically a newbie when it comes to flashing and loading custom ROM's on phones, but been in the IT world for some 22 yrs, and know my way around computer systems, and networks, but with so many different people's posts, tricks, and fake procedures, I just need to know from a Senior member if at this point with the firmware I currently have, or reverting somehow to an earlier version to successfully remove the FRP from one of my Samsung collection? Just cutting to the chase, Your site as awesome and I have learned alot and been successful at fixing up my old Samsung S3 to a custom ROM by Team OctOS with the kind help of madbat99. An S3 running 7.1.2 and rooted with that custom ROM, Wow! what a difference. I think I have an S6 or 7 in my hands!..lol.
But Anyone with some valid information on this tried and true fix so I can work on getting this S7 by that FRP lock and rooted and loaded with something custom I surely would appreciate it, Thanks a million in advance! And i will attach some screenshots so you know what I'm dealing with.
Have a Great Memorial Weekend!!
ps, sorry screenshots i cannot attach i don't have them uploaded anywhere, but here is basically what I have:
Sprint S7 - SM-G930P
7.0/NRD90M/G930PVPS5BRA1
AP SWREV: B5 (2.1.1.1.1) K1 S4
Same here!!

So I've the same phone, firmware, and issue as yours my friend. I can't give a solution unfortunately, as I've been attempting to side step FRP on my girlfriends G930P with the BRA1 firmware as well. From what Ive read downgrading is our best bet, but I've no idea how to do so with this particular firmware. Most of my attempts have ended with bootloops or bricks.
Best of luck to ya, I'll be subbing your thread.

I first want to say this was not done for illegal purposes whatsoever nor do I agree with that crap. With that being said my mother forgot her password and username and didn't realize the importance paying attention to her back up password or username to recover her first one. Anyway the model is SM-G930P what the bootloader level 6 from the update that just recently occurred. BRD2 I believe. Anyway, I have to go to work soon but I just was able to bypass it and get her back into her phone very quickly and easily and I didn't know of anyone had post it on here yet so I wanted to do it quickly I can give him better tutorial after work.
How to do it:
Put your S7 in download mode with power home button and volume down. Google Flash Galaxy S7 SM-G930P s boot file. It will send you to a sm-g930f file don't worry it still works and is the one I used. So download that file its S7 g930f_king$ that's what shows up on my computer after I download it. Anyway open up Odin 3.12 Princecosmy and Flash that as boot file or image file under your bootloader or BL section of Odin and let it do anything quickly and it will pass and reboot. And when it boots back up to your surprise I'm sure because it was mine also it was able to connect and find ADB so I was able to run my GSM flasher FRP reactivation lock remover Pro and as long as you're Samsung drivers are installed it will pick it up on its port number. Click on the bypass FRP tab which is the one on the right of the two go down and click bypass FRP and boom you're done. So in conclusion get to export file from Kingsfirmware.com and search flash galaxy s7 sm-g930p and it will take you to sm-g930f flash. Download the sboot file s7 g930f_king$. Flash it via Odin under BL tab. Let it pass and reboot the run GSM Flasher YEP Reactivation Lock Remover Pro and under the Bypass FRP tab click Bypass FRP towards bottom and kick back!! Boom done.

This will also root your phone
it's my pleasure to help you, i can fix this problem if you still have it
Hi first post here but not a complete newbie. But this time I'm stuck big time and would appreciate some help.
I've got a s8 plus that recently started playing up. All of a sudden it started not being able to make or receive calls. But I noticed it only happened when the "conditional call forwarding active" message didn't appear when dialing. I figured it had something to do with call forwarding so try to change the settings on supplementary services settings but when I tried to enter the settings an error message appeared "failed to read data" I tried sending the code manually to cancel voice mail *#022# to see if it would work but I got "connection problem or invalid mmi code" so assumed it could be that the phone is trying to check with the network the forwarding settings as the call starts but for some reason it cannot communicate with it as the mmi codes don't seem to working?? (I'm not that knowledgeable in that area) I tried all the fixes online for the "connection problem or invalid mmi" but none work so I flashed the firmware through Odin even tried a few different ones, I've been playing around with Odin for a while so I'm comfortable with it, I even flashed a pit once for a note 4 that was bricked (just saying so you can see I'm comfortable with using it, not an expert just comfortable) but nothing has fixed my problem my phone is a g955fd running pie and one UI with the latest security update. I've read the duos have some issues with this. I've tried other sim cards on my phone from different carriers and the problem is the same and I'm using my sim on a borrowed phone and no problems. I'm assuming the problem goes deeper than the firmware, could this problem be boot loader related? Would a nand erase and reinstalling the boot loader fix it? Everything else works 100%
Someone please help me, the phone I'm borrowing is an apple and every day I have it I feel weaker and dumber, it's like kryptonite.
Sorry for the long post but I've been browsing xda forums for years and I know that you guys always say to share as much info as possible. By the way I've searched and couldn't find a thread about this but it there is one I promptly apologize and just ask for the link to it if not thanks in advanced.
? G935F or G935U exynos vs snapdragon
Way for snapdragon
Flash https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/development/rom-t3901074 with odin and test with hard factory reset recoery.
After, flash odin last firmware stock sammobile
Thanks
Thanks for your reply deadedge7
As I said my s8 + is a duos g955fd variant and has an Exynos processor, I'm not sure that rooting it would make much of a difference, as to my understanding rooting doesn't really change the boot loader it just allows you to install a custom recovery and roms. Which is not much different to reflashing a stock rom for all intents and purposes , but I might give it a try anyway. I guess that maybe a rom like the one in the thread you shared might give me some more hidden codes access as a root but I'm not sure. I will try to find a root like it for my variant unless you know of one and can point me to it.
Thanks
Hard reset or flash stock software or hardware problem
For iemi best way is root efs with flash twrp best way for /EFS

No solution so far. I've rooted the phone and install a couple of custom ROMs but still nothing. I'll try and roll back the firmware and see what happens. I'm no expert but I still think it is fixable. If I find a solution I'll post it on this thread. If you find one please share. My solution at the moment is getting a galaxy A50, very comparable performance with the S8 and really cheap.

I'll keep that in mind. Couple of things to note: I don't get the message conditional call forwarding active. I don't think I ever have.
I tried a different carrier SIM card(T-mobile) and it worked (I'm on At&t). I was able to make and receive calls. Even tried an out of country SIM card and received calls. But my At&t SIM works on other phones perfectly. Go figure lol.
The only other reason I can think of is maybe cos it fell a couple of times from the couch. About 1.5ft. New case kept making it slide off.

Hi lads
My partner recently got a refurbed 128 gig S7Edge, perfect quality no issues.
I never had a look at it, I've only ever used and worked on HTC phones, so I don't want to **** this up by randomly doing stuff. I know he's unlocked dev options for things like keeping screen on etc, but other than that I don't even know which version of the OS it's running, if it was even genuine stock or if the refurb guy had possibly flashed another version. Who knows.
Last night was the first time it ever completely discharged, and as he tried to turn it on this morning, it popped up with the custom binary FRP error message.
It will only boot to download mode which is in Korean (nightmare getting google translate camera to work on a phone screen), usb not recognised on my laptop.. I'm not really sure what I should do next. Most threads I can find are about people flashing custom roms and getting errors but we've done no such thing, the battery simply discharged.
If you could guide me to the next step , what's safe and what isn't, that'd be very helpful, thanks! Different when you're working on someone else's phone.
Edit: Download Mode shows Current Binary as custom and system status as official. Is this correct though, or is it just a standard assumption with this FRP thing?
Have tried using SamFirm but neither the model SM-G935S, nor region (Korea) seems to exist. Found something on Updato but it's a 10 hour browser download I'm pretty sure is gonna fail as always happens.
Right I've tried flashing every version of firmware from Updato which took.. well since the post to download. I'm just getting errors, I'm getting absolutely nowhere and I have no idea what to do next. The seller is happy to replace the phone .. with a 32 gig version instead of 128 gig. That's.. that's not great. There's gotta be something I'm overlooking here? Also, SamFirm doesn't have my version and just gives me errors when putting it in manually.. Should I not be going for the original firmware which is Korean? Can I go for a UK version and it won't matter?
