All, Please Help! I am not a newbie when it comes to Samsung Phones, Flashing, Odin, Root, Etc. I picked up a used Galaxy S6 off Ebay for dirt cheap, but now I see why. It is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S6 boot screen. I have literally tried EVERYTHING to fix the phone, and I cannot get it to boot. I've flashed the Stock Firmware in Odin, and it has flashed successfully, but is still stuck on the Samsung Boot Screen. I've gone into recovery and performed a Factory Reset, with no avail. I am able to get into Recovery and Download mode with no trouble. I've flashed several different Stock Firmware Versions, several of which succeeded, but no boot.
I've tried to flash a Custom Kernel (UniKernel). but it fails when I try and flash through ODIN. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do ?
Thank you all in Advance!

What s6 u have and what version are u trying to Odin flash ?
Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk
try this... flash twrp and do a complete format. Go to odin and flash Full Stock FW. If it doesnt boot, your flash memory is corrupted I/O means DEAD MEMORY. OR in twrp try to flash bootloader, modem, ckernel and any room compatible.
SM-G920T. Not the edge model. I tried to flash several versions. Latest I tried was DOJC. It flashed successfully too. I downloaded the firmware from SamMobile.

How do I flash Twrp? I tried to flash one version in Odin and it failed. Do you have a link to the Twrp I should be using?
Thanks for your help!

This post contains info and links to odin flashable versions of TWRP for LP and MM.
If you successfully install TWRP and boot to recovery you should be good?
Most likely you will be fine!
If it fails try every different variation possible to find the right combo of USB cable, USB port, different pc's, different versions of odin.
Eventually you will get the perfect combo and it will boot.
If you flashed the full odin, it been awhile since I've done it with a stock device, but if I remember correctly there is something about booting back to recovery before the os can boot which will cause the custom recover to be overridden with the stock recovery?
Like I said, been awhile and that info might not even pertain to this device.
Figured I would just throw that out there to give more info for troubleshooting.
Also, no biggie, but this is a "development" forum and troubleshooting issues unrelated to a development project here don't belong here.
All good and best of luck to you!
Let us know how it goes along with what did out didn't work. Someone down the road may benefit from what you're going through right now

Update:
I flashed 920T_EPD1_BOOTLOADER.tar in Odin in the BL section, assuming that is for bootloader. It was successful, but still stuck on the boot screen

It's kind of hard to say what's going on with your complete file system?
What what the last "FULL" odin firmware you flashed?
not that you've odin'd the EPD1 files, try and ODIN the twrp-3.0.2-zeroflte.img.tar.
Try to see if it work in the order. make sure you've flashed EPD1 bootloader first, then the twrp.
I am making an ODIN file of the stock 920T boot.img to try as well. the boot.img will be here shortly. uploading now
Here is the kernel for use in odin
If Odin isn't working, maybe trying it with admin permissions and a usb connection to the backside of your pic (the usb port that's directly attached to your motherboard). If this fails as well try samsung's smart switch, it has its own flash tool (http://www.samsung.com/us/smart-switch/). You need the s/n of your device and model (SM-G920T) , you can look up the s/n in download mode by first launching download mode then press the home button and youll be able to write it down somewhere. On the smart switch software, launch the emergency options and follow through the wizard setup by first entering in the s/n and model to identify what device you have to get the proper firmware.

I appreciate you're help!
The FULL Odin fireware I flashed originally was G920TUEU3COK1 from: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/61037/G920TUEU3COK1_G920TXAR3COK1_XAR/
I tried this one, because when I got the phone, and I booted into the Stock Recovery, this is the build # that it was showing at the top of the screen in Stock Recovery. I've tried several versions since, and they fail. G920TUEU3COK1 was the only one that was successful. I just did what you suggested. I flashed the 920T_EPD1_BOOTLOADER.tar FIRST, it was successful. I immediately held Power + Volume Down + Home to reboot into Download mode after the Bootloader flashed. I than tried to flash the twrp through AP in Odin.... and it Failed. I repeated again, flashing the bootloader first, booting back into Download Mode, tried to flash the 920T_EPD1_boot.img.tar, and it fails too.

Thank you for your suggestion! Do I put the phone in Download Mode for Smart Switch to see it? That is what I tried, and it shows Unsupported Device. Am I missing something?
The process requires the phone to be in download mode the entire time. Most likely you entered the model or s/n incorrectly. It's real strick about the exact format to identify your device. You said you have a g920t but the software will only read it as SM-G920T (it may have a slightly different variation depending on where you got this model). the s/n should have no hyphens, just numbers and letters.

Okay, it was successful. It finished and rebooted, but now it shows "device does not have drk please install drk first" .
Now what?
I found this thread:

Tried to flash the Kernel file that was listed in that thread through ODIN, but it failed. Imagine that.

It seems drk binary is kernel related or maybe I'm wrong. Is the warranty bit set to 1 in download mode? If so maybe the previous owner screwed with the efs partition and now passed the problem onto you. Try smart switch one more time and see if you can boot normally. OEM may still be locked preventing you from using Odin, so that may be the end of the road because I have no other solution.
Edit: if you can boot into stock recovery, maybe you could manipulate an update zip package to install a custom kernel specifically for the g920t. This is just a theory, not sure if stock recovery does some checking before flashing.
an example kernel you can incorporate: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591023225178101 (twisted kernel v8)

the warranty bit just proves the phone has been rooted before and the owner was messing around with the phone carelessly. Assuming youve been flashing official samsung tar files only, you weren't the one who triggered it.

Yeah I forgot that you cannot access internal memory in the situation you are in and also the no SD part kind of makes the whole thing worse.

I did and didnt find anything helpfull for my situation.
Also tried to root again but again its stuck on downloading... do not turn off target screen.
Boot to download mode and it says as it should Downloading do not turn off .
You are now supposed to flash the firmware via odin .
You should flash your stock firmware to get the phone working .
Then read the basic faqs and guides before you flash anything as its pointless flashing without reading the basics .
Or take it to a service centre .

Is there a way to know my version/pda since i have no idea what stock rom to download
Device model no. in recovery mode
Hi,
Sorry to ask a random question. I Have my device model no. as S3 I9305 when I go to download mode and in my phone settings I can see my device model as S3 I9305T. I have recently installed Australian official firmware(XSA version without any career bloatware) in my phone, which is the S3 I9305T. I found it weird to have two different model nos. in 2 different places. When I first bought this phone it was the Telstra version, which is S3 I9305T. After that I changed many firmwares and installed S3 I9305 version from optus and other country's S3 I9305 version as well. Could you please tell me why is that?? Is this because I once installed I9305 firmware once? If that's the reason, today I flashed I9305T official firmware again with Odin. Is there any way to reset the download mode as well?? Please reply. Thanks.

Not unless you know what it is or saved the original .
You can just pick a stock rom for your area/ network .
If you bothered to read the basics their would be no need for all this ratting about .

So you run odin in windows.
Boot your phone to download mode
Connect device and wait for confirmation of connection in odin.
And then you click pda and choose a stock firmware.
And click start.

i know that doesnt make sense . thats what has my mind screwed. I have flashed lot of times recovery stock roms and done this believe me. i have also a Note4 running a custom s7 edge port
But this is something which has happened for the first time maybe due to fail of other variant T817 Boot and system image which i flashed via odin. I feel something is wrong with boot not flashing or some thing gone wrong with param.bin which contains boot image
I request T817T please share pit file for T817T. as neither odin is doing the job nor the TWRP full backup is removing this issue. I am really stuck since last 7 hours . flashing reading flashing. My brain has gone bonkers
never had such issue in my 8 years of flashing custom rom history
What i feel is that something went wrong when i restored backup there were 3 other partitions namely system image cache image and radio image.
i also restored them along with system,data,cache,efs radio,and radio. as far as i remember that is something which i never did or had options in note4 TWRP restores .
please see the image of TWRP below.the partitions which are unchecked were the ones which i restored via twrp
Nothing to do with the pit file, that will achieve nothing. Your kernel is incompatible with the bootloader or vice versa.
You need to flash complete stock for your device, it must be the correct and complete firmware.
It also must complete the installation by rebooting to stock recovery after flashing with odin.
You will also need to factory reset in recovery after downgrading to 5.1.1.

I have both odin firmwares complete of T817T. The thing is it is not completing installation by rebooting into stock recovery. it just boots after flash to rom
how to get it boot automatically in recovery after flashing stock rom?
i have OEM Unlocked ticked and usb debugging enabled in settings can this be the cause?
EDIT:Flashed again stock but it again doesnot go to recovery and boots rom,tried going to recovery by keys method. it said installing updates.. CSC applied .did factory reset but still same probem there
I just checked with phone info app my Firmware CSC code is missing where as Active CSC Code Shows TMB, Also where previously it was USA in CSC Country that is also blank now
rest bootloader,pda,baseband are APB1 latest firmware .
This was present previously . i am sure since phone is not booting immediately into recovery CSC is not applied
Where can i find Stock firmware Which Has AP BL CSC seperately not in one file , maybe that can solve the issue any help pleasssssse anyone
:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::good::good:
hurrrrrrrrrrrayyyyyyyy, finally i did it . and now the isssue is resolved . Damn i was screwed.
1. I downloaded the rom with 4 files AP,CP,CSC,BL. and i have extracted the pit file from the CSC file as well. if some one needs its attached below
I salute maker of Samfirm 3.5 tool which gave me options to download the rom in 4files. searched for 8 hours continously . And after flashing as 4 seperate files . It finally resolved
and now gonna flash back my TWRP Backup
i guess now its not safe flashing stock roms of other variants on Tmobile T817T :silly::silly: . i have been sitting on pc searching and flashing like a mad man for last 8 hours straight
i have high doubts that the csc issue was the reason when i flashed wrong Boot.img and system.img of T817 Turkey 6.0.1 and maybe pit file was neeeded . Any thoughts?

This is not an issue, this is a feature I have added to TWRP.
The image backup options you see are RAW image backups of the entire partition not just the parts that contain data. The same thing you would get using the DD command in ADB.
This also means you can flash Samsung factory images directly from the firmware with twrp.
It's all explained in the OP of the TWRP 3.0.2-1 thread.
HELP!!! Lost IMEI & Hard bricked Note 8 SM-N950F/DS.
I flashed back my Note8 via Kies3 to stock rom, while updating the process got stuck at 24%. I left it overnight but the phone kept looping to the Installing Update screen then to recovery and on and on.
Then I flashed TWRP recovery through odin and wiped dalvik cache, cache, data and factory reset. The same thing kept on happening but instead of stock recovery it now ends up on TWRP recovery. Then I flashed dm-noverity. After that the phone booted up but there is no IMEI and phone signal. Please help.

lost emei
this happened to me. I lost imei and could not make calls. what network were you on. I downloaded software for that network from sammobile and installed via odin, the imei returned and I was able to make calls again. I think what happened in my case was I rooted phone and put a rom on it. in aroma I selected t mobile America so it installed the file for that. I was on o2. my phone was unlocked. it did not recognise my simcard
Flash different modems
Hi
It has happened to me too many times with different phones including note 8
Just flash different modems and bootloaders to find the proper one.
androidfilehost .com/?w=files&flid=221868
*:Remove the space bofore .com
You can use both odin and twrp but if you want to stay stocked try odin mode.
If none of the above files worked for you look for other modems.
Odd that you can connect note 8 to kies3.. and not switch..

I have literally tried everything. No results . I have possibly narrowed down the problem. My bootloader (OEM) is locked. If it was unlocked I could have flashed TWRP and then dm-verity no encrypt mod. Anyone with any suggestions. @holifo I got hold of a few combination files but none of them seems to boot beyond the screen FACTORY BINARY.

Have you tried this one COMBINATION_FA71_N950FXXU1AQK2
While flashing combination file you need to flash HOME_CSC_OXM with it

Flashed COMBINATION_FA71_N950FXXU1AQK2 Factory binary from 2 sources along with HOME_CSC_OXM. No improvement. :crying:
so your phone is soft bricked. Its less of an issue since you have access to:
-recovery
-dl mode
go to updato.com and grab about 3 different stock firmwares.
1-the oldest one compatible with your phone you can find. forget about your region just be sure its an early FW and its for N950F. f or ds dosent matter.
2-again same as above but try one from south America.
3- same as #1 but from france or north west europe region.
before flashing, enter recovery and wipe data and cashes.
after wipe dont let the phone boot, have it go straight to DL mode.
now use latest odin and flash the firmwares above. if one of the flashes fail in odin Check your cables and usb port if any of the firmware flashes get stuck or give errors. Be sure to flash all BL AP CP and CSC files. for csc I think HOME csc has the pit file so you might also want to try repartition/bootloader update option if nothing else works. Since your phone is probably out of warranty by now.( might want to check if you can simply get it fixed before trying anything of the above first)
edit:
i saw you said having used kies 3 to do the emergency recovery. Im not sure how that were possible. do you mean smartswitch? if you have not used it, then go dl it and do the recovery from smartswitch. I dont even think kies support the note 8.

And this file is flashed via odin til the end - with green PASS? Strange.
Hi mate, i know your feelings.
Ok, i just can tell about my issue. I was on a QK6 custom rom with a QKG bl/modem and fell back in jail So i had to flash stock but only the AP (QK6 bc QKG was at work :angel and CSC file. It booted up with the data of the custom rom and worked quite good. Except the gallery. So i decided to flash the QK6 bl/modem. The flash with odin crashed at the bootloader part. The phone booted without connections, no imei, no baseband...an exclusiv paperweight.
I tried a lot all a disaster. I searched for imei repair with the intencion to pay a lot of money but nothing. Even imei gurus said it's impossible for now to fix the imei for the note 8 with knox 0x1 by software.
Last thing i thought before i went crying to bed was the incomplet flash of the bootloader. So i downloaded over night the whole QKG package and flashed it in the morning.
AND all was fine again. I think the culprit is the Bootloader you can't downgrade from QKG. In the Iron Rom thread are the same issues after flashing the QK6 Bootloader with the rom over a QKG bootloader - all have lost there imei and baseband. They also fixed it than by flashing QKG BL (and modem).
This was my story and i hope it would help to fetch your problem.
I have same problem with your case, its made me sick 1 day but here is my success solution worked like charms !!
1. Download newest stock firmware via SAMFIRM ( for me i used XXVN code) extract it you will have AP and CSC using on this case
2. Download BL and CP via this link: (remove space before .com) You will have BL and CP
androidfilehost .com/?w=files&flid=244051
3. Open Odin chose BL, CP download from Androidfilehost. AP and CSC form stock firmware
Flash them and your Note will be back !! Reply me if u success !!
Ps: This case will upgrade ur blootloader to BRA2
And i heard that cant be rooted again, however my Note 8 is undead so im gonna sell it away better than bricked
Good luck from VietNam
Nice !!!! Its worked !! after i got check fail device 3, binary 2. I could flash ap,cp,csc but BL so now my Note is back to stock

Samsung Note 8
I experienced the dreaded "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" error.
I have tried flashing with the stock firmware via Odin but the phone need to restart after finding the PIT. The problem is the restart, it is stuck in booting with the display "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed".
I also tried for bootloader but same thing, the phone need to restart after finding the PIT. Same boot loop error.
Any help?
Thanks a lot!

What rom you have? your note 8 is europe model? whats your steps before appear the issue? you flash wrong kernel? you disable the oem unlock from dev options? you try hard reset and soft reset with buttons compination before flash with odin? I resolve the issue before some months. I flash with odin my official samsung stock rom. Is possible your official stock rom to be broken. Download other official rom and try again. Take a look the video how flash with odin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLv1y5Pu61Q
Every device has different PIT file associated with its stock firmware. A correct PIT file is needed in order properly flash the stock firmware on your phone. PIT is similar to a hard disk on a PC system partition and dbdata partition.

I don't have the Exynos version, but there seems to be a lot of great information in the OP of this thread HERE. Your specific error message is mentioned in the OP too. Also, I believe he recommends some steps to take for someone who may have had the same PIT issue as you did in this comment HERE.

I was using REPULSA ROM and SmurfKernel, all were working fine.
I tried the Taimen 2.0 ROM with Notorious Kernel. I may have forgotten to enable OEM unlock before the system rebooted by itself (Taimen is not stable), then I encounter the issue. :'(

Apparently, these methods require restarting my phone, which currently is not possible because my phone cannot boot up and is stuck in boot loop showing the "Only official released.." error. :'(
Not sure if after waiting for 7 days will reset everything and can do recovery again.
Thank you.

Hey, my phone which is different model is in the same situation. Please tell me how did you solve it?
You need to download the official version and you can flash it via odin. Is very easy. Possible you download wrong official stock rom. Thats you cant boot correct. Download from this site https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note8/SM-N950U/ and search for infos into this site https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3677072 Im 100% sure you dont flash correct. Note 8 is unbrickable.
Hi, I need some help flashing my device. Somehow, my device got stuck in a boot loop last night, and I've been having trouble getting it to work again. I think my phone may have reset during an update while in my pocket as I was laying down on the couch last night.
I found my device firmware on sammobile according to the specs listed below. I've downloaded Odin 3.14.4 and have flashed my phone successfully 3 or 4 times at this point, but when it restarts post-flash, it keeps booting into download mode. I can't seem to get it to boot into recovery mode or just turn it off at all anymore. No matter what, it boots straight into download mode.
Does anyone know of a way that I can force it into recovery mode so that I can try restarting it normally? This is my first time flashing a phone, so I have little experience here though I am competent with technology and willing to try further tricks to get it working.
I'm just looking for recommendations and hoping that my phone isn't bricked. I've only owned it for 3 months at this point, so I'm very disappointed.
Thanks in advance for the help, and I'm happy to provide any more information if it helps you come up with any potential solutions.

Do you have TWRP installed? Try flushing it. You can also follow Dr. Ketan ROM installation guide, it's very straightforward.

I don't. I was looking at that post earlier and noticed that it mentioned the G998B/N model. Mine is the G998U1, so I was worried that it wouldn't work or cause more problems. I couldn't find any versions of TWRP that matched my specific model.
your bootloader version is above v1. cannot be unlocked. you need to flash a samsung rom. try redownloading it if you can't boot. and twrp probably won't work either.
you're saying that if you hold the vol up key and power button when the device is off that it won't reboot into recovery at all?

I was actually able to get it to boot into recovery mode this morning. The download mode timed out and the phone shut off which allowed me to finally get into it. I tried redownloading the same rom I got from sammbolie again a few mins ago but still no luck.
Try another firmware with the same BL revision, CVC9 for example

Was your phone carrier branded originally? And you're flashing the u1 firmware so you won't have bloat? Or is it originally an unlocked model? I ask because if it was originally carrier branded and you used the Odin version from the SamMobile site then that may be the reason. U need to use the modded version of Odin that's floating around somewhere. If you need it I can upload it to my drive and let you download that version. I literally just flashed VCB last night and everything worked just fine.

No, I bought my phone directly from Samsung, and I bought the unlocked model. I chose the rom from sammobile that looked to be exactly what my phone originally had on it based on the model and PDA/carrier info I found when looking through the recovery logs on the phone when the issue first occurred, before flashing anything onto it. If you think the modded Odin might work, I'd be willing to give it a shot.
I can't tell you the exact differences, but I would flash with the patched odin. it's on xda if you search for it.
No luck so far. I've downloaded the patched Odin software and have tried flashing my device numerous times with the same result. I also tried tried flashing firmware that I found on Frija instead of the firmware I originall downloaded from sammobile to see if anything would be different, and that didn't seem to make a difference.
My best guess (could be wrong) is that it doesn't like the bootloader tied to the firmware I've tried to flash onto the device. I've spent a good while searching firmware that uses the version of the bootloader it wants, but I can't find it anywhere. At this point, I'm all out of ideas, but I appreciate everyone's responses and advice.
So this is what you are saying: You're using patched odin (https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/odin3-v3-14-1_3b_patched-zip.5158507/) to flash an official U1 Samsung rom (https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G998U1/XAA/G998U1UES5CVCB for example) in the AP slot, all other slots are empty, without any odin errors during flash, and are then unable to boot, with partition errors seen in download mode? This is very unusual... flashing in download mode overwrites partitions, including recovery. I would assume if there are no odin errors, then the rom file is not corrupt and the sd card is not damaged. I don't know much about flashing through odin with a locked bootloader, maybe unpatched odin with the above instructions is worth a shot. I'm out of ideas aside from the sd card being damaged or trying unpatched odin if the above instructions with patched odin are resulting in recovery partition errors. I don't think you can access adb in download mode either.
You can extract the CSC file using 7zip. In there you will find the PIT file and you can try flashing it with repartition selected and inserting the PIT file in developers section of Odin.

Interesting. I did not try it with only the AP slot populated. I thought you needed to always flash with the BL, AP, CP, and CSC.
wait, i messed up. if it has all of those files, flash them. my bad. i was thinking about custom roms - sorry about that.
Hey everyone, just wanted to make a final update.
I ended up bringing my phone into ubreakifix after trying just about everything I could, and they were not able to fix it either. They suggested that it might be a hardware issue and recommended sending it to Samsung for repair. I then sent it over to Samsung, and they confirmed that it was an issue with my motherboard. Samsung replaced my motherboard, and the phone is back in action. Since I only had my phone for about 6 months, it was still under warranty.
I appreciate everyone who took their time to provide me with advice. I hope that this post may help someone experiencing a similar issue to mine in the future.
