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 .

Clear data and cache then reboot you may not have to reflash the rom. if that doesnt work tha use odin to flash stock rom. good luck

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.

@tissot Odin gives fail error as I stated before. Am going to try 3 part odin package ive downloaded,.

I need help

I have a att galaxy s5. It's my fiance's. Tried to root it and load a new rom and it got messed up somehow. Only boots to the stock recovery. Tried to use Odin to flash the sammobile nce file but the bootloader is too New for that... We were on oa1. Can anyone help me get out of the doghouse and show me the right file to flash in Odin to get me back to oa1? I think when I was flashing a new rom, the old system got deleted but the New one never got put back. Odin give me a weird message that Ive found out usually means the bootloader is out of date.
Thanks in advance

Need help flashing Dok2

Can someone help me out here? I am suffering from the major lagging and freezing with my Note 4 and i contacted Samsung about it. They told me to visit a local Samsung store and they can check out my phone, but i want to be back to stock before taking it in. Last night I tried to Odin back to stock Dok2 for roughly 4 hours and i couldnt get it accomplished. Am i missing something? I tried 3 different versions of Odin and downloaded 2 diffrent copies of the Dok2 firmware, but still no luck. Is there a specific processto follow? I tried factory resetting the phone before odin flashing, I even clean wiped the phone in Odin deleting internal storage as well.
Please help!

Anyone??????

Did you download Odin and DOK2 from sammobile? I was able to flash my phone with the downloads from there. I would double check and make sure you are using the stock samsung USB cable that came with your phone.
I'm having the exact same freezing and lockup issues as you are, by the way.

I dont beleive my odin and firmware came from sammobile, so i will give that a shot. I did make sure to use the samsung usb cable. I guess i need to make sure it was my usb cable and not my wife's S4 cable. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Ok. I still can't odin flash Dok2. I downloaded the new version on Odin from Sammobile and downloaded a copy od Dok2 (full) from a link to Mega. I couldn't get the sammobile link to work.
Any other suggestions?

It's possible that your DOK2 file might be corrupted or something. Try giving this one a shot, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 to download the firmware. Input your phone model, set region to TMB, place check mark on "auto" box, and place a check mark on the "decrypt automatically" box. Click on "Check Update" and download. Don't worry about the .enc4 extension on the file name, once its done downloading and decrypting you will get a .zip file of the firmware.

I tried downloading the SamFirm program from the link you provided above, but I get an error in the program stating: "Could not load file or assembly "Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Shell. Version= 1.10.0. Maybe this is because I am running Windows 10.

OK, problem solved. I downloaded Kies 3 and was able to restore to DOK2 using it.

Can you elaborate on this Kies 3, I'm stuck I the same issue and I cant get back to Stock ROM for Note 4

Sure. Kies 3 is the Samsung software for recovery and updates. You should be able to just Google Kies 3 and download.

So use Kies 3 as opposed to using Odin to flash the fw?

That's the only way I was able to flash Dok2 again. I tried at least 20 times in Odin and it failed everytime. I'm still having issues on Dok2, I wish I could flash back to Cod6.

Problems with marshmallow update. Emergency recovery

Hello all. I'm having some trouble getting my note 5 to work again. I downloaded the new Marshmallow update today from sammobile and proceeded to flash it with odin. After 10 seconds I got the fail red box in odin, disconnected my phone and got this error: '' an error has occured while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software''.
So I went ahead and read in a couple of forums and saw that people got their phones working back using Kies. I did that. Entered my model number (sm-n920g) and entered the serial number. Kies then started to download the firmware and the recovery failed. I have no idea what to do really. Should I try using the Smart Switch program instead? Flashing a lollipop one via odin? Or what? I've never had any trouble before flashing stock roms or customs on any of my other phones, so I'm getting a bit frustrated after Kies didn't work. Any recommendations would be gladly appreciated!

I would personally go back and flash the stock lollipop firmware and double check that the marshmallow update you are using is not corrupted. Also, make sure to use twrp 3.0.1 as a recovery. I was having boot loops at first until I discovered the correct recovery file.

Well the lollipop stock rom failed too. I'm getting an error in the download mode that says SW REV CHECK FAIL. Don't know what it means or how to fix it, but I'm currently not able to flash anything. What can I do??

Please make sure the download is not corrupted or ensure you are using the correct firmware file.

[SOLVED ] HELP!!! Lost IMEI & Hard bricked Note =8 SM-N950F/DS

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.

You need Combination file to fix it

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
Cheer
