Hello,
I've got s8 SM-G950F.
It was with old version, probably android 7 with PIN number assigned.
I forgot to remove the pin before i flashed latest FW from Frija and now i'm getting bootloop/stuck on Samsung logo with led blinking blue.
Can access Download mode and stock recovery.
Tried to install different csc version, not helped.
Any suggestions what to flash for getting out from bootloop?
No one?

After flashing a German Note3 with stock 4.4.2 using Odin with the official Open firmware from Poland XEO N9005XXUENB3 the phone is really slow, the SIM card is not recognized and the device has boot loops. The flash process succeeded and factory reset and cache wipe were executed from recovery mode.
Only from recovery mode KOT49H.N9005XXUENB3 it successfully boot when it is again stuck with the boot logo.
In the recovery mode the yellow lines below indicate that the CSC-code DBT (Germany)
The official file was flashed using the AP field and the file: N9005XXUENB3_N9005OXXENB1_HOME.tar.md5
The reason for flashing was to be able to switch to Vietnamese which is available in the XEO firmware.
The phone should have been unlocked because a Lebara SIM card worked before which is no longer being recognized.
Is there a way to restore the functionality within this firmware or do I need to go back to a different firmware ?
I would not mind also trying a Lollipop stock rom but currently do not want to try tripping Knox.
EDIT: Baseband and IMEI is UNKNOWN
EDIT2: Flashing back the DBT firmware N9005XXUGNG1 resolves all these problems but I would still like to be able to switch to Vietnamese (Viet Tieng) language
Does anyone know if it is possible to downgrade back to 5.1.1 bootloader after flashing the 6.0.1 one?
With the Note 3 I lost the imei and baseband etc trying to downgrade certain bits, so I don't want the hassle if that is going to be the case with 6.0.1 and 5.1.1.
i tried flashing also 6.0.1 and ended bricking my phone. would love to see if you find a solution for that.

Can you still get into download mode?
When I put bobcat rom on mine I didn't change the bootloader to the older one, I was stuck on the s6 edge+ bootscreen, I have to plug USB into pc and then hold the power+home+vol down for a few seconds and that rebooted into download mode where I managed to flash the correct bootloader. You can also then restart the phone and use power+home+vol up to get into recovery to restore a back up. Not sure why I had to plug in USB cable though but if I didn't I couldn't reboot at all and was stuck on the bootscreen.

Have u try using Odin to flash a stock image?
Are you trying to downgrade? Try the last firmware of 5.1.1 (just before marshmallow)
OK. First some info about the phone:
GT-I9506
S/N: RF8F20W841T
PDA: PL2 / PHONE: OJ2 / CSC: OK1 (NEE)
I replaced the screen few days ago and got the phone working at last! It was with STOCK 4.4.2. So i used OTA to update it to latest STOCK 5.0.1. After this I have rooted it with CF-AUTO-ROOT and it was fine for two days.
After two days wile charging with S CHARGER COVER (OEM) it just restarted. Was working ok but after few minutes hanged and rebooted again. Then the bootloop appeared. First screen with GT-I9506 logo and then blue flash and again.
CAN'T BOOT IN TO THE SYSTEM (no matter what I can't make it to boot properly)
CAN'T ENTER RECOVERY (it's showing that's booting in to the recovery but instead of recovery it just restart)
CAN ENTER DOWNLOAD MODE (no problem with entering DM)
What I have done so far:
- Kies recovery with phone model number and serial number (still bootloop).
- Odin flashing STOCK rom from SamFirm download (still bootloop) (single and 4 files flash).
- Re-partitioning (flashing PIT file).
- Reflashing bootloder (still nothing).
- Tryed CWM, TWRP and other Recovery, non of them boot up.
Using those files to flash:
AP_I9506XXSDPL2_CL6069869_QB11747892_REV03_user_low_ship.tar
BL_I9506XXSDPL2_CL6069869_QB11747892_REV03_user_low_ship.tar
CP_I9506XXUDOJ2_REV00_CL1318424.tar
CSC_NEE_I9506NEEDOK1_CL6069869_QB7017077_REV03_user_low_ship.tar
I would really appreciate help from someone more skilled then me.
Is it possible that I should flash 4.4.2 STOCK ROM instead of 5.0.1 to revive it? I came with 4.4.2 so maybe to make him work again I should start from flashing STOCK 4.4.2 NEE?
UPDATE:
STOCK FIRMWARE 4.3 and 4.4.2 does not help... I'm out of ideas...
After flashing bootloader it self I manage to get to the point when Green Droid appear and after 30% of progress it restarts and bootloop is back again...
Uninstall any old drivers and install new drivers.
Download the official file latest for your device from here
And try to reflash again, it should work or ultimately you will have to buy a new motherboard for your device....
You are likely to have encountered a hardware fault, assuming everything you tried were done correctly. The only fix is to buy a new phone, because of Samsung's stupid Knox policy D:
Hey, so I wanted to install TWRP on my S8, I have flashed it via odin, and I have experienced a bootloop - I think no worries, I'll try to flash stock firmware - Well...
I did try so - apparently bootloader was "newer?" so I skipped BL section in odin, I did the rest - it flashed BOOT, and then failed at next stage...
Now my s8 won't boot even into download mode - and it says:
"An error has occured while updating the device software.
Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software" Thing is - the smart switch software doesn't recognise my device.
Am I hardbricked out of my S8 - or is there still hope?
Thank you very much in advance!
EDIT: nevermind, I CAN boot into download mode, I just wasn't quick enough to boot into it, my bad.
I am downloading a new stock firmware and I'll see if this one works.

What model s8 do you have. The snap dragon model US cannot be rooted above revision 3 and no twrp either

As far as I remember it was g950f
Hey, so I have managed to fix the bootloop via just downloading a newer stock firmware for international model (g950f) and flashing that through odin - seeing as the phone now booted up I decided to bite the bullet again and downloaded latest twrp again - flashed it and this time it worked 100%, flashed magisk and now I am rooted, I guess that was a false alarm, but I got into a quite a panic mode when the previous stock firmware wouldn't flash.
It's solved now, so cheers!
