Hello Everyone.
I lost my phone after Installing New OJ3 Upadate.
Got My Phone Rooted.
Installed Arter 7 Beta 1.
After Trying to Delete Some Unwanted Apks From System Lost My Phone To Bootloop. So Tried to Download Software From Sam Mobile and that was Older OH4. Googled and Downloaded OJ3 And Tried to Flash Via ODIN 3.10.7 But to No Luck and It Failed.
Since Then I am Stuck at NOTE 5 Screen and No Matter What I do Cannot Get it Sorted.
Now Please Help Me And Provide Detailed HOW TO to Restore My Phone.
My Regards and Respects to All.
first of all you should know that newer samsung phones are not be downgradable to older fw.. So fw version which is installed on your device and fw newer than that can only be flashed.. And, second, what were ur steps during odin flash???
Switch to download mode then make sure latest odin and samsung usb drivers are installed on ur pc,disable keis if installed.. Then connect ur device, tick factry reset and auto reboot and untick re partition..click ap and select the downloaded firmware.. Once md5 check finished click flash..
Ur phn will reboot after flashing and you are goot to go.

But This Has Never Happened To me.
Even The OJ3 Downloaded Firmware is Not Getting Flashed.
To My Knowledge I need PIT file
Which I cannot Get FRom Anywhere On Internet.
If Someone Can Provide Me PIT file.
I will be ever grateful to that Person.
I thank you for your kind Reply

I have Seen That Thread But I do Not See N9208 Model Firmware or Any Files
I have Got No Idea If Any Other Pit File Would Work Or Not
So Still Waiting With My Bricked Phone for Samsung to Release XME OJ3 Firmware
If Anyone Knows Or Can Guide I will Be Thankful.
Regards
as an advice, you can google how to extract pit file from samsung phones..then ask in n9208 page if anyone could provide pit file for you (remember to check correct model no. and internal storage, it matters)

I do not know about the pit file being included while using Smart Switch but I would sure give that a try. I have mentioned it to others as fix but they did not seem to be able to figure out how to use it correctly so I will list the procedure out for you and you can try and see.
Put your phone in Download Mode
Open Smart Switch on your PC
Click More in Smart Switch
Click Emergency software recovery and initialization
Click the Device Initialization tab
Type in your model number using caps for any letters in your model and using the dash where appropriate
Click Search
Type in your serial number again using caps for all letters
You will see a pop up saying that it can be initialized or something like that, click OK
A new pop up will tell you which version it will be initialized to
Click OK then it will start downloading some files
Another pop up will come up telling you how to enter download mode
Connect your phone to the PC and click OK
It will download the firmware from Samsung
If you followed those steps exactly it will work unless you really do need another pit file that Smart Switch does not provide but I do not see why it would not.
Good luck

sorry if samsung havnt released fw yet..there is no way other than to wait..
EDIT:avove mentioned solution using smart swirch might help you..give it a try
also,when smart switch completes downloading files then try for searching the fw files in samsung folders (obviously whole firmware is fownloaded on your pc for reinstalling os)

I have Tried Smart Switch but it starts downloading OH4.
So Its A No Go
if you have an unlimited plan then give it a go, after all doing something is much better than doing nothing. Also, i think it might work..

What is the Serial Number?
I put IMEI / MAc , literally all the numbers on the box and it says wrong S/N number
Thanks
I'm having trouble logging into my phone. I did a factory reset and the reactivation lock was enabled. I cant get past it. I tried to log in, and it says processing failed. I can use a otg drive and get to the settings menu. the reactivation lock option isn't checked. I am not able to add a samsung account, but can add other accounts. I can add other apks like nova launcher and google launcher. I have been able to get to them, but it's hard because the home button is disabled.
I have also gone to app settings to force stop the samsung setup process and android setup. The home button is still disabled, but force stopping those does allow the phone to be a little more usable. I think I was able to get to the launcher after force stopping those.
I've tried to downgrade to oc4, but get errors in odin and on the phone for rev check. Anyone know how I can get past this?
I've noticed in Download mode there is a line for "reactivation lock" and it always says yes. It seems like this is a part of the bootloader? I haven't been able to find a way to root this version, and it won't let me downgrade.
I have exact same problem on my N910T (Note4). Please help. going into settings with "SideSync" and most of the phones functions work fine but can't create a new samsung account only, all other accounts add perfectly. The bootloader has the "Reactivation Lock: ON" and I think due to this I am having this problem. Also I tried to downgrade through Odin from current 5.1.1 to 5.0.1 with no luck, keep getting "fail" on start:
<ID:0/009> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/009> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/009> aboot.mbn
<ID:0/009> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/009> sbl1.mbn
<ID:0/009> rpm.mbn
<ID:0/009> FAIL! (Auth)
Please Help Me! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Pretty much same here. G870A though. I actually have my Samsung account password but for whatever reason, reactivation lock sticks. Was advised to upgrade 5.0 to 5.1.1 but dunno if that will fix it either. Sent to Samsung to repair this issue as they requested when I contacted their service department about the activation lock. But after they received it, they wouldn't do anything until I paid $71.xx to repair the cracked camera lens. I told them $71 for a Ebay $2.99 part was a little steep. They wouldn't budge, fix it all or nothing at all. Told them to send it back and I'll repair my own lens... then send it back I guess.
But back to the OP, I hope someone with a little knowledge chimes in.
Well, basically I have a huge problem with this phone, let me explain you what happenned, I was trying to unlock and change the android IMEI with a local tech im very tech savy, he told me that he was gonna change the IMEI so I could use the phone back again, phone was blocked for non payment, well he tried to do it with a special flashing box for samsung, it was called BEST SMART TOOLS, something like that , well anyways when he did the process he was in download mode and then suddenly the phone didnt startup it stuck on samsung galaxy note 5 logo and I already to install different custom roms with odin but it never worked, this is the error message I got in ODIN IS Setting up connection , Initialization , GET pit for mapping , Firmware update start , Sboot.bin , NAND Write Start, Complete(write) operation failed , he told me im sorry this kind of phone is very complicated and that now the boot is damaged well I dont really understand what that means so can anyone here please help me ? , this is the very first time I ever post about anything I always try to search for people whom have the same problem but it seems that nobody does, so please please can anyone help me

Hi,
I tried multiple different ways to root my Note 8 SC-01K from docomo with SamFail but failed, now my phone won't start and goes straight to installing system updates and then the screen just says no command
I can't seem to get my phone to reboot with the buttons
I think I need the sc01komu1brh1 firmware but I can't find it anywhere except on weird websites that want my credit card info
can't I find it anywhere for free? or better, is there a way to boot a European OS on a Japanese phone?

Snap was made 4 USA and Asia. I dont think that ANY country in eu got snap . All got exynos . I ment that in theory u should be able to flash any??? snap update . Since devices have no differences, only carriers and mobile connection, u should be able to simply flash hongkong update I send before on Japanese phone . Or u can try update for ur phone I found. But cany tell if it's real or no

I'm not trying to, the phone is trying to on it's own
when I launch it, it just goes automatically to system update and then gets stuck on no command
which is the exact same issue I had before flashing so I don't think it's because of the carrier?

Glad you figured it out.
Hi all here is my dilemma concerning my personal DD, the phone was bought new in 2015-6 brand new and is currently on Android 7.0! The phone is in my opinion still very relevant and can be made even more so (if) I can update the whole firmware to the recent Note10 UI as seen elsewhere??
The trouble that I have experienced is trying to install TWRP via Odin? What happens, it recognises the file to be used, I set the parameters and start! It moves reasonable quickly then suddenly stops - No errors on the Pc/Odin page BUT the phone moves from the download mode in English to Chinese with Warning triangle and remains there until I reboot phone which starts up as normal??
I cannot get past this, and do Not know why the Change to Chinese that I do Not read or understand, so I have a few Pics but the 2 that I think are telling I will add if possible?
I found something in an overall search via the net, but this was the only one and this though Unclear in it self did Not assist me! Would I be correct in saying that this may be unique in that neither pictures or any where as this error arose hence why my possible struggles? Please can someone help in Solving this puzzle thank you.
