Help recovering soft-bricked Galaxy A3 (2017) - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hello,
sometime ago, I tried to install a custom ROM (it required a repartitioning script) on my old Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) - SM-A320FL, but after many attempts I wasn't able to install the OS through the custom recovery (OrangeFox R11.0) so I gave up.
Now I decided to go back at it and give it another shot, but first I wanted to return to Stock ROM to see if everything was okay.
After flashing everything with Odin, the installation of Oreo fails, and so I'm stuck in the Stock Recovery.
I tried to flash the phone many times, I even tried doing Nand Erase and Re-partition by using the PIT file that was in the ROM I downloaded, but the outcome is always the same
(On the first reboot I can see the Android updating page, the installation fails, it throws me in recovery - If I reboot the phone it remains stuck on the white Samsung screen).
The stock Recovery always shows this error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I downloaded the firmware files using Friya 1.4.4.0, with the Model set as SM-A320FL and the CSC as ITV (unbranded).
Maybe I choose the wrong CSC, and this is why it's not working, but I'm not sure. The other country codes for my country (IT) should be the following:
FWB, GOM, HUI, OMN (Vodafone), OXA*, TIM, VOM, WIN, XET

Honestly, I'm not sure on how this error can still persist after a complete re-flash of the device, so I'm here asking for your help. Thanks.

[i9500] CSC problems...

I have recently made the mistake of flashing my device to a Chinese stock rom,
but now I think that I have restored everything except for the CSC,
and when I try to change it from within CSC Changer (yes my device is rooted btw) it doesn't show the current CSC or offer me any CSC's to select...
When I boot into recovery it shows CHN as the CSC... so does anyone know if there is a way for me to flash my device with a non-Chinese CSC?
If the app doesn't show anything, it means that there is no CSC to change. The ROM is maybe a single CSC rom. Try doing a full factory reset and it should be solved.

Current ROM: THL: I9500XWUBMG7_I9500OLBBMG2_I9500DXUBMF8_HOME.tar
Current Modem: I9500_XXUBMG9_MODEM.tar
Yet even after doing a factory reset just now (Wiping Data, Cache & Dalvik Cache) it still shows what you see below...

Try flashing a MG9 ROM maybe it helps.

[Q] Water Damage - Won't Boot

Hi all! Walked into the lake with my phone in the rear pocket - doh! Here is what I did so far ...
1. Turned off
2. Removed battery
3. Disassembled phone
4. Dried it out
5. Cleaned all the components with isopropyl
6. Put in a new battery
Turns on fine
Goes into d/l mode
I can flash firmware to it via Odin
Will NOT boot
Will NOTgo into recovery
I have tried various stock firmwares from Samobile - they all do the same thing - see pictures below.

ANY firmware I try does this after Odin is "Successful" Blue writing says " Recovery Booting ... but it just sits there.
Any ideas? It is a stock Rogers phone but I don't mind using any Firmware ion any network if I can get it up and running - I'll just unlock it later.
Thanks!
Also, can I try to re-partition it using a .pit file? I've only ever used Odin for flashing firmware. Where can I get .pit files, can't seem to find them anywhere.

Kies Shows Multiple Firmwares; Old and Current

Hi guys,
I have an Unlocked Galaxy S5 G900H. Few days ago I flashed Argentina ROM for G900H and the process went successful. But when I connected my phone to Kies, it started showing multiple Firmwares. Then I Flashed Stock ROM back, but the multiple firmwares are still there. And as a result Kies cannot be used to upgrade or emergency firmware recovery.
Here's how it looks :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And when I click on Firmware Upgrade and Initialization, I get this:
And further proceeding with the upgrade, I get this:
What I have done so far:
Re flashed stock ROM but no luck. IF there's some special way I need to do it in odin, please let me know.
Did Factory Reset Multiple Times but nothing.
Kies is up to date. I even re-installed Kies.
I have no Antivirus Installed.
Please Help me
thanks

I dont think CSC changers work on Android 4.4.2. They did used to work on older versions. So this is not a choice.
Thanks
Can you not downgrade your firmware. Or you could try the hidden code's. They may work.

Samsung Note-3 N9000q stuck at initializing while flashing with odin

My n9000q started to stuck at black screen after samsung logo when booted. I tried to flash twrp recovery from odin to recover my files via backup. But after i tried to flash with odin it stuck at initializing. I tried different versions of odin but non of them work. Now i can't enter stock recovery either. How can i get past that initializing problem ?
Please tell what you did and what firmware etc .
as i say i tried to flash twrp3.2.1-0-ha3g with odin 3.09 with auto reboot and f.reset time checked re-partition unchecked. I don't know about firmware model and i don't how to check now while device is softbricked.
Try an older 2.8 TWRP.
The model number will be shown on the screen with the phone in download mode.
Post a screen shot or Odin log. These items are very helpful when helping other XDA members.
Model number is sm-n9000q never updated firmware before. As suggested i tried older twrp (2.7.1.0 and 2.8.5.0) it didn't work either.

What TWRP was on the phone before problem.
before problem it had stock recovery no twrp. The phone is full stock before.
Sorry I read OP recover files through backup and assumed backup =TWRP.
I tried but didn't succeed :/
All I can suggest is try different USB cables and USB ports.
Did you have a look through this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...elopment/recovery-official-twrp-ha3g-t3406899 ?
I look through that post and tried other ports and cables but none of them worked.

Would you know what would cause the recovery/boot program to update system - show Erasing after flashing ? Thx in advance!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 G930AUCUBCTB1 purchased in Colombia, I need help! I've upgrade it to 8.0 and the phone has signal, detects the sim but Emergency calls only. I want to downgrade to 6.0 but I cannot find the proper firmware that works. Any help?
