Rooted the phone, decided I didn't really care or need to have a phone rooted. Phone was fine. So I decided to grab the stock ATT firmware and reload it via Odin. All goes well until the very end when the phone tells me:
SECURE CHECK FAIL : system
Pretty sure this is related to the locked boot-loader. I cannot get into recovery mode, and I cannot boot into regular android, but I can get into download mode. It just fails after nearly completing everything using different Odin versions, and I've used two different firmware files. I was on 4.4.2 and had all of the latest ATT OTA updates.
Everything is still listed as official and KNOX is 0x0 and KNOX Warranty void is 0x0. I guess Kies emergency firmware recovery doesn't work with the Note 3.
What are these Odin files, and where did you obtain them? Add far as I know there is no Odin flashable file for 4.4
You're going to have to visit a Samsung kiosk at a Best Buy and see if they can fix it. If not, you're probably screwed, and will have to try for a replacement, or send to Samsung for service.
I tried unrooted with SuperSU and it still shows custom, KNOX still shows 0x0 the real issue is how to remove customer and get back to official without bricking.

This was the recommendation from my local att corporate store. It's also what worked. The Samsung consultant let me restore my phone with her computer. She didn't realize how to get it into download mode. Either way, the Samsung program flashed the phone. It was super easy to use. Certainly meant for an non tech person. Same instructions as doing an emergency firmware recovery within Kies.
Well this took some figuring out, as many said it had to be rooted first
well NO it does not
Now this only work on the SM-900F with the bootloader unlocked basicallysold in the EU to any Network and branded
eg Vodafone.Orange,O2,Three(as long as there is no three Logo if so the bootloader is locked)
so here is what you need
the Latest version of Odin
The latest Version of kies as it is needed (Yes i said that )
Now Your countrys unbranded rom this can be tricky to find but for example the UK its BTU
they also can be found on here in the stock Firmware section ( i'm sure some one will post a link as they have got berried somewere)
But they can be found on sammobile.com
now download the rom
Now if you have never used odin before please read up on this first i'm not going to do a Noobs guide
Now do a Factory wipe and wipe the cache in recovery mode first
Open odin and pit the phone into recovery mode with out it rebooting
Flash the stock rom
Now long gone are the days of multiple csc so here is how to fix
Now before some one jumps in and says Oh XDA do a app to sort this (Only works on rooted phones)
Now after the rom has flashed let the phone Boot
Now Google apps may fall over here but the factory wipe sorts them out
Now nearly there, as we all no if you plug your phone into kies it does not like it
Well this time as long as you have got the right rom it will show a long line of rom info
Now for the fun bit open kies and connect your phone
then klick tools and pic firmware upgrade and initialisation Kies will come up with a warning screen
Just click next and watch the magic happen
Kies will see that you have a stock BTU rom on But the CSC is something else so
It re downloads the rom and clears the previous CSC out
I did use the xda phone info to check the CSC and on mine it should before Kies VOD/BTU
After Kies it showed BTU
Now kies says i Have a BTU phone and the firmware is upto date
I have done six differant phones now on verious networks and they work
the Three ones are hard but rolling the rom back to the first one cleared the Bootloader then i flashed the stock rom
There was no rooting or Knox tripping or custom roms used
Pure Samsung roms
This was only done to remove bloatware
A lot of the G900F branded ROMs (such as EE) are now BNL9, and there doesn't appear to be an unbranded BTU for BNL9 that I can find on SamMobile -- is it therefore not possible to change CSC without tripping Knox now?

Knox will only trip if you use a Custom rom
if your on EE and on 4.4.2 install the first 5.0 rom from sammobile and follow the Kies above
if you have installed 5.0 from EE you can roll this back Using kies see bellow
Enter your phones model and serial number with out it plugged in it will then offer you what roms were installed pick the last 4.4.2 then follow the onscreen instructions
after its rolled back follow the above
I only no this works via 4.4.2 and going up to 5.0 that triggers kies to change the csc over
after you have done this putting the first 5.0 in Kies will even update the phone or you can via the wifi update
I have done six phones now and all is well and Samsung told me how to do this so no warranty other then the ee is void
make sure you use Sammobile only roms
"This was only done to remove bloatware"
nothing youve described removes bloatware, jus changes the bloatware on it, BTU still has chaton ant+ and loads of other crap, to debloat you do need root, but not to debrand, but then again we all knew that cause we read the firmware thread where this has been mentioned three times minimum

Were not on about the Bloat manufactures put on, this is Debranding removing the pointless junk networks add that the user can not remove or dissable
most of what you have said can be disabled in Application manager
if the user chooses when there on BTU to root its alot safer on a BTU stock rom then a Network rom
eg on Vodafone if you remove the RCS program you will not be able to send a txt using the default messages apk as Vodafone has removed this
Rooting is not compulsary in debranding and if your simply doing this to sell on the phone then there is no need to, and should only be done if this is what you want to do
But my method is just the first step in getting a Clean phone ready to Root this prevents any issues in the rooting Proses
i have fixed many phone on Network roms that people have mad a mess off
Plus when it come to re selling a phone a unbranded fetches more money and if Knox has not been triggared then the warrenty still stands
Lte network selection
ok I have a question guys
I have a g900f but in the network selection there is no Lte or 4G selection, my phone was using Malaysian firmware ( I didn't check if it does have Lte network selection) and then I flashed XSG (united Arab Emirates) firmware, so If I flashed unbranded firmware like Poland or UK .......... can I get the Lte network selection or no ???!!!!
how I can get 4G with out root or custom rom

TBH i never new rooting caused any issues, not for people of intelligance anyway. but anyway, in the EU knox doesnt void warranty
Not every one that come on here is flaunt with rooting, or knows how to
or even wants to
this is why they have there own section and stops the Noob bashing
after all we all started some were
My Method simply does what it says with our rooting :good:
It stops some apps that I use from running (banking, in particular). Other than that I'd definitely root for the better Tasker functionality it offers (my older phones used for various other things around the house are all rooted but I want banking on my primary device)
Rooting for some has its Good points
But its better on a vanilla rom which has all the nasty Network traps removed, so then its then only manufacture apps
Plus if there is any issues with a Root then the developer can take a look
also you get the firmware updates still, but you will need to do a Factory wipe to remove the root
For some just braking away from the chains of the Network is enough
in the UK Networks have no idea

Why did your phone throw the custom binary by frp lock? Did you do OEM unlock first?

SM-N920R6 stock firmware
I grabbed firmware for the SM-920R6 from SmartSwitch so I can probably help you out. I know how you feel, it's sad how hard it is to find anything for this phone! If you need the firmware I'll have to upload it to google drive or something this evening...
Successful un-brick and root of SM-N920R6
Using the software SamFirm and manually entering in all of the information for my phone I was able to download the correct SM-N920R6 firmware.
Here is what I had to type in the SamFirm program:
Model: SM-N920R6
Region: LRA (This really isn't a "region" it's a sales code which is why it took me forever to figure out - it can be found in System/csc/customer.xml but will be the same for all Cellcom customers)
*SELECT MANUAL CHECK BOX AND ENTER THE FOLLOWING*
PDA: N920R6WWU1BPD3
CSC: N920R6LRA1BPD3
Phone: N920R6WWU1BPD3
***MAKE SURE YOU CLICK "Decrypt automatically" (check box on right side) before you download so you get the usable zip file as well (you won't need the .enc4 file it also downloads (that is the original encrypted file)).
***You'll also want to click the "Check Update" button before downloading the firmware, but you'll get the prompt to do this by the SamFirm program.
Once you have the firmware unzipped just place it in the "AP" section on the Odin program, hit start, and you're all set!
Happy un-bricking, Cellcom customers!!
Note: After your phone reboots with the stock firmware if it hangs on the screen that has a Samsung logo dimming in and out just reboot into download mode (hold power, volume down, and home button simultaneously), and then restart the phone from the download mode menu (i.e. don't go to "continue" on the download mode screen). I tried the above recovery method a few times and it only hung on this screen once, but I was able to get out of it using the method I just described without issue.
**********************CONTINUE READING**************************
If you were frantically looking for the firmware as I was you may be telling yourself, "I'm never going to try to root this thing again!" But wait! You now have the ultimate "Un-rooting" tool at your disposal (the stock firmware!).
That being said I went further in search of achieving a successful root and..was successful! (The root achieved was using CF Auto Root which leaves the stock firmware alone. Unfortunately no custom kernels exist as of this post for this phone so this is as best we can do at the moment.
I used the file "CF-Auto-Root-nobleltespr-nobleltespr-smn920p.tar.md5" (as users pointed out above to start this thread - the "p" version works for the SM-N920R6). You just need to download that file and flash it the same way as you flashed the firmware (i.e. put it in the "AP" section of Odin and hit start. It takes a few minutes and after it's done showing all of its text as it installs the program on your phone your phone will have a black screen - don't worry it just needs to be turned on and you're rooted!

This trips knox, right? Can you still use Samsung Pay?
It does trip KNOX and as a result you cannot use Samsung Pay on the device (Even if you flash stock back Samsung Pay will forever be disabled on the device).
Its been a week since i got my note 5 sm-n920r6 , the person i bought it from told me to of a issue with it. He told me ever since update to naugat 7.0 the back button stop working so am seeking from anyone who can help me to get marshmallow 6.0 to downgrade to 6.0, please.
If someone who might still be on 6.0 on their note 5 SM-N920R6 can extract it from their phone or other means ,it would truly appreciated.
I use the samfirm to get the 7.0 firmware so i could flash to stock when i want, here is a link of the firmware for the SM-N920R6 if anyone might want it: https://mega.nz/#!IJYFEa5T

I cannot say because i didn't notice whether it was trip or not, not that it bother me if it did. But i did manage to find the marshmallow firmware and flash back to marshmallow from naugat successfully, even though it didn't fix back button and now am back on naugat firmware.

For those of us who are using this model N920R6 , i have being able to flash custom roms from the Sprint section without any issues. When i flash custom roms for other models i find i must flash the twisted kernel v2 for sprint model or your own stock kernel but even with that i have no data, so i don;t use those roms. But as for the sprint custom roms they run faultless with normal bugs that might be in a custom roms.
At first when i get this model i was piss because their is actually no support for this model until i try the sprint custom roms,it was awesome and now bit more happy.
I got a N960F/DS (CSC: OXM_MYM). It is Thailand version without Samsung Pay enabled.
Can I flash another country's ROM, certainly under same hardware architecture (N960FXXS2ARK2), without breaking the Knox?
I want to use Samsung Pay at US ...... ......
You can but still you will not get Samsung pay

on the about section in settings, then under status , does the phone still show as "official" ? after you guys successfully flashed other region firmware ? this is a straightforward way to see if the phone is still "knoxed" or not, as i am wondering if the Samsung pay not working is due to georestriction or knox related? Because as i remember with my pre-previous phone the s7e that i rooted, tripped knox resulted in many Samsung apps locked with an original firmware as Samsung health, pass, pay secure folder etc but otherwise still usable.
Just remember that since the S7, once the phone is rooted or knox is triggered there is no way back even if you flash the original firmware and completely unroot it, knox is like an electric fuse and once it is broken there is no way to "unroot" or restore knox to official status except replace the motherboard (until s6 root and knox was software and fixable by flashing original firmware but since s7 knox counter is hardware)
Manage to change region by following this thread.
But I'm not using spay so can't confirm if it will make spay work or not. Knox won't be tripped so nothing to lose if you try it

Hi all. Succesfully rooted my S8 Tab Ultra and was running fine for the past week.
Just rebooted the tablet and its showing "Custom Binary(boot) Blocked due to remaining installment balance" I've read around the forum and apparently its for people who haven't paid for the device fully which I have, paid in full on pre order.
The only way it seems to get it to boot is to flash the original firmware my model is SM-X900NZAFXAR and I can't find the firmware does anyone know how I can get the tablet to boot?
Tried Samsung support but they didn't help
Hello! Get SamFirm at https://samfirmtool.com/ (v0.5.0 is the latest), for model put SM-X900, for Region put XAR. I haven't received mine yet (not until the middle of next month), but this is the closest I could find to what should be the correct firmware. Click "Check Update", then click "Download". It's been too long for me away from Samsung - I don't remember if it matters if you let it decrypt automatically or not. The answer should become apparent, though. At worst, you'll just have to redownload the firmware with the option to decrypt unchecked in SamFIrm.
You can check your CSC (Region) by (copying/pasting someone else's instructions):
go to settings - about - software information - service provider SW ver. The region code (CSC) will be written there.
I don't know if your CSC will match XAR. I don't find anything for XAA or XAS yet in SamFirm.
Good luck! This is concerning since I had planned on rooting mine.
Thanks for the reply. I've downloaded the XAR firmware but now I have another problem getting the USB device not recognised. Device descriptor request failed. Tried locking the bootloader again now its stuck with a Hash fail on boot and wont turn off. Can't unlock the bootloader again. 99% sure its not the laptops fault its the one i rooted on but will try another pc tomorrow. Will have to try Samsung again as although I have rooted which voids warrenty its there mistake on my device thinking it has finance outstanding that has caused the failure.
Cheers

You got the latest Samsung drivers installed, as linked to in the SamFirm\Samsung Driver subfolder? (link leads to https://samsungusbdriver.com/category/download)
Wait... Is OEM Unlock still enabled in Dev Options? It might be salvageable even though you have locked the bootloader...
Thank you edor for the help the tablet is running again now however it is unrooted now and the OEM unlock option is missing. The USB fault was resloved using a different PC not sure whats going on with my laptop.
Once in download mode i was able to download the XAR version of the Tab S8 Ultra fimrware from SamFirm and reflash with Odin which brought it back.
I'm not sure if running XAR csc will cause problems? I am in the UK I think my csc originally was OXM which is the universal one but cant find an OXM version at the moment.
fkofilee I actually locked the bootloader from the download mode menu which i shouldnt have. I don't have the option now so think I need to wait for the OEM unlock to show in settings.
For anyone else who has the "Custom Binary(boot) Blocked due to remaining installment balance" Need to reflash back to original firmware to boot and apparently it will re-check in 7 days so cannot be rooted in that time.
I have an open ticket with Samsung to try and find out why my tablet thinks it has finance. The confirmed on the phone that it was paid in full.
I wonder if the S7 Bootloader that i rooted had anything to do with it. Will retry with the bootloader when i can and report back.
@Jono0907 I'm glad you got it back working. I apologize if the XAR firmware has anything to do with your OEM unlocking not being available. Thank you for the advice for myself and for others to follow if we encounter the same problem. You had used the S7 bootloader? I would expect that to be the problem but as I said, I'm rusty on Samsung, and totally unexperienced in Samsung tablets - I only know what I've read in this section so far.
My tablet is working because of your advise so I'm happy. Found the EUX firmware which feels like it should be what my tablet should be running so will flash that and see if Unlock comes back. Tried all the tricks with date/time to try and trick it but no luck.
Also was going to add my experience with Samsung support. He agreed that if the tablet was wrongly reporting it was in finance then it wouldn't have been my fault but also said Samsung would not help because I had rooted the device. He didnt talk about reflashing firmware just said that I needed to send it to them for a new motherboard to repair Knox at a cost of at least $400(£300)
I planned to root s8 ultra, now afraid. So, is it safe to root it, and can someone put here whole procedure?
Many thanks
It's pretty much always safe because you can go back to "Download Mode" and reflash the original firmware.
It will however trip Knox which is Samsungs securityh (Done by breaking a physical fuse on the motherboard) which cannot be undone. This voids the warrenty and could cause problems with Google Pay and other things.
The basic process for rooting the S8 is
1. The process requires OEM Unlocking which some carriers in USA seem to be blocking. If you can OEM unlock it will be an option within the developers options in settings. Sometimes it doesn't show up right away.
2. Download SamFirm and get the firmware for your device. The Model for the Non-5G Tab S8 is SM-X900 and put in the CSC code for your region. Samsung simplified CSC codes before the release of the Tab S8 so you can see the list on wikipedia when searching for the tablet it is probably better to look up how to check your CSC code on your tablet to make sure you are getting the right one.
3. Install Magisk Manager on your tablet. Extract the firmware and copy the AP file to your tablet. Open Magisk Manager and point it at the AP file that you copied. Once complete it should give you a Magisk Patched file copy it back to your computer.
4. Install Odin and Samsung USB drivers. In Odin Select the Magisk Patched file for AP then add the BL file that you downloaded from SamFirm and the CSC file. (This will factory reset the tablet). You can leave CP and Userdata blank.
5. Reboot the tablet into Download Mode. This can be done by powering it off connecting it the the PC and when you see the charge symbol hold down Volume up and Volume down till you get to the Download Mode Menu. From here you need to press the option for OEM Unlock and then go to the download screen. Now press start in Odin.
That's pretty much it
