Hello, I have been trying to flash for 2 days now but still couldn't get it working.
Initially, my I9305 is running on stock without root. I wanted to root it and then install recovery and ROM.
And so I prepare the necessary files, and start to flash.
I used CF-Auto-Root to root my device first, then got Resurrection ROM and Gapps to flash.
Then I started to get some issue, as it always fail. Error message like no file context and so on. So I read online resources, and found out that I had a older version of TWRP installed which may cause the install.
I then tried to upgrade TWRP but it doesn't allow me to. No choice, I had to flash philz touch, and I did.
I then tried to flash Resurrection again, boot up, and it keep giving me bootloop. After which I downloaded nameless ROM, and CM11 but same issue.
Yesterday night, I downloaded the stock firmware to try. I flashed it, and it is successful based on ODIN, but it still won't boot up.
I just tried it again and it stuck on the Samsung logo screen.
Can anyone tell me what else to do? What I have to do?
This is the stock firmware that I have downloaded and flash - I9305XXUENH1_I9305EVRENH1_EVR.
Let me know what other information I have to provide.
Thanks!
Here's the Download mode information.
Custom binary count: 9 counts
Current binary: samsung offical
System status: custom
Knox void: 1
RP SWREV: A2
Update: 16/1
I just tried to go into my recovery mode and apparently, it has been changed back to stock recovery which I assume is because I have flashed the stock firmware.
I am trying it yet again after wiping in stock recovery, to flash the stock firmware again now.
P.S: I have posted it in http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help-i9305/qa-samsung-galaxy-s3-lte-roms-kernels-t2999494 but no reply. So trying my luck here.
Ok, this is funny. I waited for 2-3 days before posting here for help. And it doesn't work for all those days.
Now that I just posted, it finally worked. I am getting into the setup screen.
Anyway, for those people who may have the same issue as me in the future, try to wipe everything after flash to stock firmware. then flash stock firmware again.
After flash
It's a good call,as per your last post,to wipe data and factory reset after a flash and even a second install.Need to give time for changes to occur.Don' go too fast.HTH.
Hi Forum,
What i did to root the G900W8 Canadian Galaxy S5 variant is the following:
1. Downloaded the Super user which can be found. http://www.mediafire.com/download/7hzka026ofddjz7
2. Download and flash the Philz recovery . http://www.mediafire.com/download/vn77n8c17qq69pt
Now you can flash the recovery via Odin and use the super user. Install super user from revovery menu install from zip.
If you would like to flash stock recovery... http://www.mediafire.com/download/z8so967mr7jbem8

Yes it does..... I dont think there is a way around it.... as i work with a lot of phones on a daily basis... i need to be quick with things... cant flash roms specially when you are doing remote imei repairs and such....
no need do remote emei repaire it cost $ , just root and write certificate
The only issue is that the certificates get blacklisted... you need private cert files
How is the modem? Is it sticking without issue?
Hey, guys. Just rooted G900W8. lollipop, build LRX21T.G900W8VLU1BOC2.
Used this guide with one remark.
http://galaxys5root.com/galaxy-s5-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s5/
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After I did everything, I had what some other people had, there was no Philztouch:
"i had try that way…the menu still shown
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from externel storage
wipe data / factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
then i try push ….. apply update from externel storage…the next error happened
Finding update package …
Opening update package …
Verifiyng update package …
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, the answer is in the comments too -
"A reply to this problem has been posted MANY times. Take the back off your phone and flash Philztouch with Odin. Get ready to pull the battery IMMEDIATELY you see the green PASS! on Odin – I did it by having my fingernail hooked into the battery slot while the phone was downloading the file, and pulling the battery the second I saw the PASS! (yes, the phone was still connected to the PC with the cable). I counted to 20, replaced the battery, and booted straight into recovery – (Vol Up, Power and Home pressed all together). Philztouch recovery came up. "
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, here's scary part. I un-ticked Auto-reset and factory reset boxes in Odin, flashed Philztouch, and Odin stuck on RESET state, phone was still in downloading state! Well, after couple minutes I had no choice but to pull battery.
Put battery back in, tried to boot into recovery...and bingo! It was Philztouch! Now I flashed SuperSU, rebooted, at some reason I had no warnings, triangles whatsoever! Another funny thing - SuperSU didn't promt me to disable Knox automatically at some reason. I downloaded Titanium Backup, and freezed Knox along with millions of other bloatware programs.
Phone originally was Canada, Fido, I unlocked it after rooting, purchased code for $15.
Hope this helps.
I am on lollipop 5.1.1 Will this still work
Hi,
I have Roger's unlocked Galaxy S5 G900W8. I have installed custom rom on it and now I want to revert back to stock rom.
Will flashing Roger's stock rom lock my phone again?
P S: I don't live in Canada so if Roger's rom changes my modem settings then I will be unable to use my Sim.

In odin just untick update modem and bootloader and there wont be any problem. Beside theres rom like no limits or stock rooted rom you can flash for g900f it will work.
Hi guys Recently Samsung released 5.1.1 for our devices! So I decided to make a easy tutorial on how to install TWRP on our devices (unfortunately without root).
1. Download newest odin from Here!
2. Reboot to download mode.
3. Download this file TWRP RECOVERY
4.Flash it with AP option.
5. Done! Now You should be able to boot into TWRP Recovery.
Info
Can I restore my previous custom rom now?
Yes and no. I tried restoring two roms. AOSP and TW, aosp had a bootloop then successfully booted, and TW didn't seem to boot at all.
Does it root my device/Can I root my device now?
Nope, not yet. I tried to make a custom rom with root built in but it was stuck in a bootloop.
Why would I need this?
Well. Now You can restore Your rom, and flash other roms(Some may fail due to a newer bootloader).
Any bugs?
Sometimes first boot after flashing this recovery might bootloop, but just remove Your battery and turn on Your phone again.(Happened only once to me)

Yes... I did manage to restore the backup image of 5.1 as I ended up in bootloop while trying for the root access. So far OK with at least TWRP is working.
I have a question, If I'm on 5.1.1 and I've installed this TWRP, By using this TWRP RECOVERY, can I install 5.0.1 custom rom via zip file?
I do not mean to restore my backup rom. I mean I do a fresh installation

It seems to bootloop roms that need 5.0 bootloader. But AOSP rom that runs on 5.1.1 boots up without any problems. Just during boot You might see message "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and then the rom should boot up.
I flashed twrp via odin and it says pass then reboot after that when i try to enter recovery it get me to stock recovery any clue why is that and how to solve this ? v.v
Thanks a ton bro.
thank u so much guys

Easiest way on odin is make sure auto reboot is unchecked. When its done unplug the cable pull the battery put it back in boot into twrp Let me know how it works out for you.

Not enough information. However, it sounds like you allowed TWRP to install root, but still have the factory/stock kernel. Bad combination.
You'll need to use ODIN to flash a custom kernel, or use ODIN to flash the stock firmware (system partition) back.
Next time, read everything you can BEFORE flashing ANYTHING. If you get a prompt that you don't understand the ramifications of, you haven't read/learned enough yet. Also, ensure you know the steps (and have the tools/files) to restore your phone to factory BEFORE you start modifying stuff.

Thanks for reply. I don't know which custom kernel will work with my SM-N920C dual sim variant. Also I am unable to find stock firmware for dual sim SM-N920C. Should I try to install normal stock firmware for SM-N920C? Will my dual sim functionality work?
Ok I flashed a custom kernel through odin and now the phone is working fine.
Please close the thread.
Thanks.
Hello guardians of the Android Phones. I ran into a major issue while updating from 5.1.1 custom ROM to 6.0.1 that I found on this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...20t-android-6-0-1-marshmallow-update-t3356838
Steps I took:
1) Upgraded TWRP to 3.0.2.0 (3.0.2.1 doesn't work properly on my device. it flashes the TWRP 3 logo and then goes black) ... So I ended up re-installing TWRP 2.8.7.2 and then flashed TWRP 3.0.2.0
2) Copied the ROMS of choice to the SDCARD
3) Using Odin 3.10.7 I flashed using Twisted Sixx Custom ROM (which didn't work correctly due to the bootloader not being Marshmallow 6.0.1 compatible) from my understanding of what i've read through these threads.
4) Flashed the AP using G920TUVU3EPD1_G920TTMB3EPD1_G920TUVU3EPD1_HOME.tar.md5
Now i'm 100% locked out from downgrading Stock or Custom ROMS. TWRP can no longer be installed.
Having a feeling I used a Bear Trap ROM.
What do I do? Feeling like throwing this out the window. *sigh*.
Thanks ahead of time... anything to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
I am not a dev... but I tried smartswitch, perhaps it can help you. Hopefully you didn't do factory reset.
Try that and then if it doesn't work, again, wait for the experts.
What is SmartSwitch? Do you have a URL or THREAD with information and download links?
Thanks for the tip.

I did an Odin flash of EPF1 and didn't lose the ability to flash recovery. I have not yet tried downgrading. I would take a deep breath, drink a beer or two, and go back through things step by step. At this point I would suggest using Odin to flash a complete image, perhaps of a different version, and go from there.

Are you using the G920T also? Which image did you Odin flash with? Do you have the direct link? I do like your idea of flashing with a different 6.x image variant as opposed to downgrading.

I don't unfortunately - Google is your friend. Some firmwares that come to mind are DOJ7, DOJC, and COF6.
But first: Is your bootloader locked? If you have not yet unlocked it, that may be a problem. I unlocked mine as soon as I got my phone (and yes I'm on a G920T). A locked bootloader may prevent downgrading although it should not prevent a rescue Odin of the same or newer firmware.
Yes it's locked.
Is there a way to unlock it while maintaining my current image?
All those firmware are 5.x
I'm stuck on unlocked Marshmallow 6.0.1
And according to Smart Switch. I'm one version down from latest with it prompting to upgrade.
I'm going to hold off on that for the moment...
If you flashed edp1, you are far from latest.
Lemme know if i am wrong at anything
If you can access download and recovery, that means the phone is in a bootloop when booting up..
Since you flashed the edp1 firmware, your bootloader must have been updated so now you can only use mm roms.
As for recovery, is it stock or twrp?
Also when in download modex whats your system status - stock or custom?
Well if EDP1 is far from latest, then that is great news. I can boot into my firmware. It's for sure stock as far as I can tell.
Download mode output:
RED: ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G920T
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
FAP LOCK: OFF
BLUE: Secure Download: Enabled
Knox Warranty Void: 1 (I tripped it when rooting it in 5.x)
AP SWREV: B:3 K:2 S:2
It won't let me get into TWRP after flashing it... when I try it says the following:
RED: "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING"
It doesn't matter which version of TWRP I attempt to flash with.
Thanks!

Did you flashed root or anything after you tried to flash recovery via odin?
Also when you flashed edp1, phone still didnt boot?
Edp1 is about the march or april update i think
The next main update is epf1 because it restricts going back futher
Then there came a update 5 days ago.. just a security update... havent flashed that coz i am rooted..
Anyways lets concentrate on edp1
Since its a mm rom, going back to 5.1 roms means a bootloop, so ill suggest not doing that
Also after flashing the mm rom, if you flash anything over it, you wont be able to boot a system because a new dm verity check mm has introduced.. to bypass it, you either need to flash a mm root file or a kernel that can disable the check.
I was stuck at the same thing since i Flashed recovery and that failed the checks so was getting bootloops..
I was able to go in recovery and download mode but not boot up..
Since you have a custom status, it can be a reason for bootloops
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...y-official-twrp-galaxy-s6-edge-t3354508/page8
The phone boots. I just cannot get root. I guess I don't understand the terminology regarding "bootloops" or "MM" ... I attempted a APK root... which failed. And still using my previous kernel unless flashing the custom ROM overwrote that.
So I can login to the phone and connect it to USB and sideload APK files, no problem. I just cannot TWRP flash properly and enter it using the UP recovery mode. And when I tried flashing other ROMS in Download recovery mode either ODIN crashes or it gives me a NAND WRITE error.
Which root and / or kernel files would you suggest to me to flash in ODIN to break this protection that's preventing a full root on this image? Or would it be preferable in my situation to find a different ROM and resolving the ODIN crash problem to achieve a full 6.x marshmallow root?
Thanks again! Greatly appreciated Sir.

EPD1 and EPF1 are 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
@ninjadroids:
Take this as you will but reading back through this thread gives me the impression that you lack the necessary know-how to customize your phone. I highly suggest you leave it stock for the time being until you know EXACTLY what you are doing.
My reasons for saying this:
-In your first post you state that "using Odin 3.10.7 I flashed using Twisted Sixx Custom ROM". To my knowledge there are NO custom ROMs designed to be flashed via Odin. They are in .zip files, to be installed via recovery ONLY.
-This is actually my mistake - the G920T bootloader does not have a lock function; flashing a custom recovery will simply trip the e-fuse and render it Knox 0x1 warranty void.
-You are not familiar with what Odin images are for the G920T, or what version they are. You should NEVER flash ANYTHING via Odin unless you are absolutely sure it is intended for your specific device.
-In the 9th post you state your bootloader is unlocked (again I apologize for the confusion) but in the 3rd line you say you're on unlocked Marshmallow. I'm going to assume you have limited knowledge of what the bootloader, the recovery, download mode, and system are.
-You mention seeing the red "RECOVERY IS NOT SE ANDROID ENFORCING". This is an error message generated by the bootloader saying the recovery is custom and did not pass the security check...but it is also completely normal. I get it every single time I go into TWRP...which works just fine.
-You do not understand what "MM" means when all of us including you are talking about Marshmallow.
-You do not understand what a "bootloop" is. For the sake of education, a bootloop is exactly what it sounds like - your device gets stuck in a loop while booting. This is generally mentioned when it is persistent - the device does not complete the boot process, coming to a stable useable Android interface. This is indicative of several possible problems; most likely you did something incorrectly, causing the boot process to halt, in which case the phone restarts itself to attempt to boot again, hence the loop.
-You do seem to understand sideloading via ADB and I'll give you credit for that. But when using the button combo (Vol Up+Home+Pwr) to boot into recovery, you WILL boot into recovery...whether that is stock recovery or TWRP. Some reboots may prevent this; if in doubt, hold Vol Down+Home+PWR until the screen shuts off; immediately go to Vol UP while still holding Home and Power.
-In the 13th post you ask about flashing kernels via Odin. Firstly: custom ROM .zips contain the kernel intended to work with that ROM. There is no need to flash anything separately. I am a little fuzzy on how root is accomplished on stock Marshmallow; it used to be we could flash SuperSu via recovery, but now there is talk about systemless...Anyway, I will reiterate what I was saying about Odin: DO NOT USE IT unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing. You have the potential to turn your phone into an expensive paperweight.
I am not trying to put you on blast or criticize you; I'm trying to help you avoid bricking your phone. There are a lot of things that could go wrong; you shouldn't be messing with something you don't understand, especially if you don't know how to fix it if something goes wrong.
For now even i am confused as to what is causing error.
Its probably that his storage is not curropt causing namd write fail..
I would recommend doing a backup. since you can turn on a phone, connect it to pc and move the important files and contacts to it.
Then download stock rom via sam mobile and do a clean install..
Ill prefer pf1 because, if memory serves right, edp1 had that notorious auto brightness bug.. If odin is not helping then try smart switch.
Boot up system, see if everything is working..it should be fresh as new.
After that follow the instructions as to flash twrp from the link i gave in one of my previous posts.. twrp should now flash...( i dont see any reason it shouldnt )
Flash root via recovery, or a custom rom you wanna flash but make sure its a 6.0.1 one ( xtre sto lite or alexis recommended )
That should root your phone too...
P.s. mm -> short for MarshMallow
Bootloop, when all you see is samsung logo which comes during boot... it wont go past that.. you never reach your lock screen or are able to unlock your phone... as mentioned in detail by -> socal
Flashing any rom overwrites kernel so if you flashed edp1, you are now on stock kernel...
P.p.s when you said sideload apk.. was it via adb shell or simply installing apk from internal memory of phone?
You answered a lot of my questions in that last post. Thank you kindly.

EPD1 and EPF1 are 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
@ninjadroids:
Take this as you will but reading back through this thread gives me the impression that you lack the necessary know-how to customize your phone. I highly suggest you leave it stock for the time being until you know EXACTLY what you are doing.
My reasons for saying this:
-In your first post you state that "using Odin 3.10.7 I flashed using Twisted Sixx Custom ROM". To my knowledge there are NO custom ROMs designed to be flashed via Odin. They are in .zip files, to be installed via recovery ONLY.
-This is actually my mistake - the G920T bootloader does not have a lock function; flashing a custom recovery will simply trip the e-fuse and render it Knox 0x1 warranty void.
-You are not familiar with what Odin images are for the G920T, or what version they are. You should NEVER flash ANYTHING via Odin unless you are absolutely sure it is intended for your specific device.
-In the 9th post you state your bootloader is unlocked (again I apologize for the confusion) but in the 3rd line you say you're on unlocked Marshmallow. I'm going to assume you have limited knowledge of what the bootloader, the recovery, download mode, and system are.
-You mention seeing the red "RECOVERY IS NOT SE ANDROID ENFORCING". This is an error message generated by the bootloader saying the recovery is custom and did not pass the security check...but it is also completely normal. I get it every single time I go into TWRP...which works just fine.
-You do not understand what "MM" means when all of us including you are talking about Marshmallow.
-You do not understand what a "bootloop" is. For the sake of education, a bootloop is exactly what it sounds like - your device gets stuck in a loop while booting. This is generally mentioned when it is persistent - the device does not complete the boot process, coming to a stable useable Android interface. This is indicative of several possible problems; most likely you did something incorrectly, causing the boot process to halt, in which case the phone restarts itself to attempt to boot again, hence the loop.
-You do seem to understand sideloading via ADB and I'll give you credit for that. But when using the button combo (Vol Up+Home+Pwr) to boot into recovery, you WILL boot into recovery...whether that is stock recovery or TWRP. Some reboots may prevent this; if in doubt, hold Vol Down+Home+PWR until the screen shuts off; immediately go to Vol UP while still holding Home and Power.
-In the 13th post you ask about flashing kernels via Odin. Firstly: custom ROM .zips contain the kernel intended to work with that ROM. There is no need to flash anything separately. I am a little fuzzy on how root is accomplished on stock Marshmallow; it used to be we could flash SuperSu via recovery, but now there is talk about systemless...Anyway, I will reiterate what I was saying about Odin: DO NOT USE IT unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing. You have the potential to turn your phone into an expensive paperweight.
I am not trying to put you on blast or criticize you; I'm trying to help you avoid bricking your phone. There are a lot of things that could go wrong; you shouldn't be messing with something you don't understand, especially if you don't know how to fix it if something goes wrong.

Wonderful. Thanks man. I will be attempting a Stock ROM Odin flash and go from there. I will update my progress. Thank you all very much for the answered questions and pointing me in the right direction. Hopefully this thread will prove useful for anyone who is attempting to deal with a G920-T and attaining root the proper way for Marshmallow 6.x

For now even i am confused as to what is causing error.
Its probably that his storage is not curropt causing namd write fail..
I would recommend doing a backup since you can turn on a phone
Then downloading stock rom via sam mobile and do a clean install...if odin is not helping doing that then try smart switch.
