Hi guys,
I have a note 5 SM-N920C, tried to install stock firmware but i forgot to turn FRP off.
I have a soft bricked device now and I've tried flashing by Odin, using diferent versions but its still not coming up. I'll attach pictures of the error messages
Thanks for your help in advance
I had the same problem, but I solved it. Flash stock recovery (Odin), full wipe, after that, i flash the last stock rom for my Note 5 ( N920G) and smartphone back to live. I don't no if this resolve your problem, but for me, everything is ok now
About stock recovery, I extracted from the official rom (With Winrar), converted to .tar (tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.10.7) and flash by Odin.

Thank you guys so much. I've flashed but I'm back at the google authentication screen. I used the Nougat update and it worked, stroke of luck actually.
Tried the marshmallow firmware after extracting and it didnt work, i then replaced it with the Nougat firmware and restarted my phone into download mode and it flashed, Didnt have to press start.
Anyway, I could bypass the FRP for my phone will be appreciated thanks
To bypass go to development option and switch fap off

I have done this over and over and have not been successful.. Would this work with an older or the original firmware? Are there firmwares for the Note 5 that already have the FRP off?
Is there an online service that actually works? If not I have to send my newly purchased soft brick into a Samsung Service Center and for 100 bucks get it fixed..
This is by far the most asinine thing I have ran into in a 25 year tech career

Download 6.0.1 latest firmware, archive it, get .tar file, open odin, choose PDA, choose firmware 6.0.1, put your device into download mode, connect your device to computer, press Start and get some coffee. Done
Lose all data btw, backup all before doing.
thank you bro..

Flashing the .TAR file in ODIN does NOT delete your data, I have owned many upon many various Samsung Devices.. Flashing the .TAR.MD5 updated your device and retains all DATA.. You just have to reflash a custom recovery and inject root again..

You could go to your local humane society and adopt a service animal "Just in Case"
You can flash a TAR file via odin and your Data will be safe, including internal storage..
Your system partition will be the only thing that will change..
I do this several times a day while trying out versions of my custom ROMs.. No damage will come to your data..
If you don't warn them, they will get in trouble if they flash a wrong rom. And then, where to find data? Good or bad, "Just in case" is a best thing that everyone in this forum always does.

Bro did you manage to update without any problems. I am in the same boat however after a factory reset I don't have root access but I still can't receive updates due to modifications . I'm worried updating might re-lock my device (Carrier Lock).

Guys,
I need an urgent help. Here is my Story..
Using 9208 Note 5 model. After trying different custom roms i tried to flash stock firmware using Odin. Did everything correctly. Unfortunately i checked Nand Erase all option too. The result is my Note 5 stuck at Samsung DimDim logo. For almost 1 hour. Tried reflash several times but no luck..
So i flashed twrp and wipe data and factory reset and reboot. Its works. But problem with voLTE. No voLTE working. I know flashing JIO voLTE fix will solve this but i need a solution for this Odin. I dont want to flash voLTE fix.
Can someone help me pls.. How to bypass that Samsung logo without flashing Twrp.. ?

Well that's because you erased everything including your partitions so now you need to find the .PIT file for your exact model and select it in odin while flashing the firmware again.

I need to know the firmware version that you were on before this problem started.. The PIT file is always inside of the firmware you download all you need to is unzip it from within the .zip..

You can only downgrade if you have firmware that's bootloader version 4 because you're currently on bootloader version 4 and you cannot go back down to bootloader version 3 or earlier because that's been blocked by Sammy.. If you need the PIT file it's inside of the firmware that you downloaded you just need to extract it from the file. If you have the firmware G935FXXS4ESC6 then unzip it and then unzip them again and you'll find the PIT file in there.. It's usually inside of the CSC .tar file.

Thanks for your kind support, as per your suggestion after unzip the csc file i found the pit file . Now should i select Nand Erase & Re-Partition options after inserting the pit file. Is it safe to select these options?

You can do that yes and if that doesn't fix your problem then there must be something wrong with the phone itself. For your information though you're asking for help in the Galaxy Note 5 thread but you're on a Galaxy S7 Edge.. I do think a moderator might end up moving this to the correct place.
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.

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

You shouldn't have used any tool.
You could have easily recovered your unknown baseband by simply flashing your stock firmware.
Retry flashing the Stock firmware. But this time, do a wipe cache partition, wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode first.
Use the latest stock firmware that is available for your country/CSC.
If you can find a pit file, include that in odin flash with the stock firmware. Put a checkmark on the "repartition" option.
It's normal for the device to take 5-10 minutes or more during the initial boot.

i found this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ide-fix-n950f-efs-failed-to-mount-dm-t3831184
i beg you can you plz help understand it
Extract Stock firmware AP file (rename .md5 to .tar)
this i cant understand wich should i rename or what i do
Rename dqmdbg.img to efs.img (or smallest image must be smaller than 8000 KB). Extract Dqmdbg.img.lz4 so it’s just “Dqmdbg.img” and then rename it to efs.img and put that one in a tar. Other option is downloading a file that’s already made this way if your bootloader is binary 4, Saves you trouble of extracting / renaming: http://www.mediafire.com/file/589wuc...f/efs.tar/file (if you download this file just move onto number 3)
Add file new efs.img into tar archive.
Flash tar as AP file in odin + download mode
Reboot download mode
Flash Combination with odin + nand erase option on Edit: suggest you to flash stock rom first and oem unlock, don't need to wait for 7 days if imei is 0000 skip combination step
Device Should boot into Factory binary
Use IME to restore imei using *#06# (or imei 0000 in stock rom) Edit: This step is not required if efs backup is restored successful
Your device should have dm-verify failed in recovery due to drk error
Continue drk bypass for dm verify error below to continue

I have the same problem with my note 9. Im looking if anyone can provide me with efs file of N960F Binary 3 so i can get it unbricked again.
I found this website but it has efs files for binary 1 and 2 not 3. Will it still work if i use binary 2 efs?
