Help flashing stock - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, ive been in this process the last 7 hours. I have a n920c in a point some months ago i flashed the marshmallow n920g with no issues, was rooted and with twrp no problem. Now i need to put the phone in stock again but the issue is that the n920g dont have spanish and i need that cause im selling my phone. i tried to flash several n920g versions and any of those have spanish, then tried to use my native model n920c but i tried with 7 diferent versions from diferent countries and even lollipop and all of them fail to flash with odin, tried diferent pcs, ports, files, etc. fails at modem.bin at the beggining.
Im really tired of this, theres any way only using twrp without root to enable all languages in the n920g version marshmallow? any working way cause i tried all playstore ones and then say i need to be rooted or use some kind of propt comands that i dont understand.
Or theres anybody that can provide me a Note 5 rom, n920g or n920c for flashing with TWRP but not rooted? i searched everywhere and i have no clue where to find that or even if such a thing exist.
I would really apreaciate if anybody with rom knowleadge can build a twrp file of a rom stock marshmallaw just 100% stock with NO ROOT so i can put an end to this nightmare pls pls.
Sorry for the crappy english.

I haven't even tried but maybe you could remove the modem.bin from the zip and see if that works.

fused 4 > binary 3 when flashing odin

Hi. I've searched the forums for 2 days now, and can't find any solutions to my issue.
I have had stock rooted OC4 (Lollipop 5.0) from the FlashFire method for months now. Tried "unrooting" with SuperSU, rebooted, and now I am soft bricked. Looks like I am still rooted though.
When I try flashing a stock rom with odin I get the message "fused 4 > binary 3". I think this means the rom I'm trying to flash (G900AUCU3BOC4-OneClick) is below the version I currently have. I currently DO have OC4 though, so I don't understand. Is there a newer stock rom version around? Has somebody made a OneClick or other Odin flashable rom for AT&T S5 versions later than 5.0? Can somebody make one?
Or if anyone has another solution to help restore my phone to stock that would be great!
I seem to have the same issue as you, if you or anyone figure out something please share!
I have the exact same issue. I have tried everything from flashing using Odin, to sideloading the stock firmware, but nothing works!!!!

Help with stock n920g flashing process

Hi, im in a nightmare for about 2 weeks trying to flash a stock rom in my n920g.
I have to flash a stock rom cause i was trying to sell my phone, i tried like 10 different roms, when i flash N920GDDU2BPC4 rom with 4 files theres no problem only that theres no spanish in there (and i need it) so i tried to flash an argentina n920g stock rom from sammobile N920GUBS3BPI2 and i get several errors in odin, with modem, cache, etc, tried erasing those files but then i go to a black screen with dm verification issues, at this point i dont know what to do i just need a stock rom with spanish language...pls help me im getting mad with this issue, never happened me before, both roms r MM 6.0.1, my only hope is to find a stock rom n920g with spanish but flashable trough TWRP but WITHOUT ROOT.
I used system info app from play store and it seems my n920g is a mess with modem from india, bootlader for argetina, rom from Z version, etc, now i cant flash any n920g rom, i think is cause of the bootloader but i cant flash another bootloader cause i get a fail message in odin, no idea what to do now....i just want to get a stock rom but now it seems impossible.

Help to install Play store on Chinese firmware

Hi all, this has probably been answered somewhere but I can't find the best way.
I have a Chinese Note 5 SM-N9200 N9200ZCU3CPK2.
I tried rooting but ran into problems and installed the above firmware to recover. It is Knox dead now.
Basically, I want to know the easiest way to install Google play store/services etc. If I need to flash with HK firmware, which one will definitely work on my phone? I asked for help on a different forum and they told me to install completely the wrong thing.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
I am learning so please don't be too hard on me hahaha.

Have looked I to the HK firmware and then flashing with PIT in Odin, trying to make sense of it, will it work with this HK firmware N9200ZHU3BPK2 and can anyone give me a step by step guide?

HELP needed (can't flash stock rom)

Galaxy Note 5 SM-N920G I need some help here. After a long time using custom roms, recently I've tried to flash a stock rom to my device (it was an Indian nougat rom from sammobile) and I got an error on Odin when flashing system. After that I lost my recovery (TWRP) an my Note 5 went only in download mode. Then a I flashed TWRP again and installed a custom rom again. Now I'm trying to flash any stock rom and I am getting random errors like "device 1 binary 0". I've tried many different roms and 0 luck. Someone could help me here? I never have this problem before and I just don't know more what to do.

Peace..
I'm having the same exact problem--I found firmware that only flashed to radio--then abruptly stopped--wiping my system, so i'm stuck in download mode, phone will not power off. Instead of flashing Nougat ROM, i opted to flash "stock" MM firmware (6.01) and let phone update to Nougat on its on---then re-root it. As of now I have a paper-weight and it appears there's no support for 920G
Have you all tried Smart Switch?

Paper-weight? That's bad... Can't you flash a custom recovery on Odin and install a custom rom? I still can do that.

It's because you flashed Nougat and that's Android 7.0 and it now thinks you're trying to "downgrade", which is pretty much blocked by trying to use "stock" roms.. The only thing you could probably do is find the stock rom you're interested in flashing but make sure it can be flashed via TWRP.. I don't think you can use Odin now to flash backwards "downgrade" to another stock rom after flashing Nougat 7.0..

Well I figured out you can downgrade from Nougat to Marshmallow but that's only to a specific firmware version. Depending upon what bootloader has been flashed (meaning if you flashed Nougat bootloader you can only go back to Marshmallow with the same bootloader level).. But this is only working (surprisingly) on the locked bootloaders of Verizon and AT&T.. The other S6 Edge Plus I have with an unlocked bootloader and tripped knox that I recently acquired will not accept nothing stock which is unusual, but I'm still working on that one.

Possible to downgrade from Oreo to Nougat?

I have the leaked ver of Oreo installed, but I have an app that's incompatible with the new OS, so I've been trying to downgrade for several weeks now, with no success.
I've seen answers online that completely contradict each other- use Smart Switch backup (tried that, didn't roll back the OS), tried several versions of Odin and firmware, always get 'FAILED AUTH'.
Also seen some posts that say you can't downgrade, others that say yes you can.
Is it possible? How can I find out which bootloader I have?
I heard with Oreo they did the same as Apple do. They stop downgrading the OS, but I'm not sure about it.
I hope other members can help you.
I'm having the same issue, I have a Verizon tmb tmb vzw software version, I flashed the carrier switch CDC thing xxa I entered the codes what ever, but i don't k ow i kind of got stuck and flashed bra8 and it came up with tmobile after flashing that was my intention, and then I flashed oreo, I'm trying to roll back to update to the latest crb8 oreo but anything I try in Odin fails at initialization... or It just wont work, and the phone doesnt have a progress bar as I press start, it's like stuck, I'm losing my mind here, I even tried flashing tmobile and Verizon firmware on odin, I tried kies and switch to restore yo nougat bra8 with no go, even tried flashing the carrier switch thing, NOTHING IS WORKING different USB ports rebooting PC, reinstalled drivers, took aim out when odin, nothing.
Some one help us
Fixed
And just like that, as soon as I post this, I get it to work. After spending all night trying different versions of Prince Odin and different firmwares, I just switched to normal Odin and it worked immediately, so back to 7.1.1
can you please tell how and what you used to down grade note 8 back to 7.1.1....thanks

Have you tried Odin and the firmware for your device?
as long as the version you want to downgrade to is same version bootloader would it not be fine?
ie.. v3 to v3 is fine but not v3 to v2
I haven't been rooting or flashing with the Note 8 yet but that's the understanding I have from other threads

appreciate any help here...
tks
I think they changed something in oreo , where you cant downgrade now. Odin. Maybe latest update annoying i know.....no work around yet
The thing is like this: you can always flash roms with EQUAL O HIGHER bootloader version, just that, and NEVER to a lower bootloader version, and this is not new

Don't you want to try flashing only AP and CSC_OXM (not HOME)? I read on 4pda that it's possible, but you can have some errors while using your device.
Flash the oldest oreo with bootloader you have, then flash the latest nougat without BL and CP. Only AP and CSC OXM. Backup your data before doing it.
