Returning to stock from CRB1 Oreo - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

Ok so for the life of me I cant get off CRB1 . I've flashed BRA6 but it fails in odin plus ive tried to flash 3 updates before BRA6 and still fails in odin. Am I stuck until the next base with matching bootloader comes out or has anyone figured out how to get back to sprint stock yet? Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] Pls HELP!!

Hey guys i really need some help. I tried to install clockworkmod on my T-mobile samsung galaxy s (sgh-t959v) and i guess i bricked it. All that comes out on the screen is a phone and a computer. can someone pls tell me what to do to fix this and install the right way.
Thank you in advance
Fairly new to all this myself and don't have experience with T-Mobile but if you go here you should be able to get a Firmware for your phone: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=SGH-T959V&r=5#regiona
You should be able to download a stock firmware, odin & everything else you need to flash your stock firmware. From this site.
Perhaps wait and see other responses though as there maybe a way to fix without flashing a stock firmware. Also getting some info from someone with your phone on T-Mobile may be better.

Just confirming that what scubadude said above. Flash new firmware, it is a soft-brick and therefore recoverable. Something that needs to be added however is that you will need to make a login in-order to access the direct link. If the link still doesn't work after that then click firmware and follow on from there..

Rooted with motochopper and cannot do firmware update

I've tried uninstalling superuser and all it has. I've tried like 5 times now the install for the new firmware update won't install i keep getting a android with the red exclamation sign and its front door open, then it boots in to android and says update failed. Help please!
Do I have to factory restore first or somthing? i really dont wanna have to cause i just got this phone from at&t as a referb for my old one that had battery issues and its not fun setting everything up over again lol

Hi buddy.
First of all, I don't entirely understand what are you trying to do. What to you mean with "firmware update"? Do you want to flash a new ROM?

Got it. Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751263
You may find all the information you need there. Even if you can't, don't worry, is just a minor update, it is not Kitkat.
I've already been through that thread and haven't really found my solution to my issue. Any ideas?

Sadly no, my friend. Any reason in particular about why you want this specific update?
Let's hope somebody else in this forum can help you.
Are you running a stock recovery? Have you tried using Myth Tools to flash back to stock?
Its running stock rom from factory everything is factory right now
I kept getting the dead Android as well. We're you running a KK ROM on your phone before restoring to stock? I was running Validus and tried to use Myth Tools to flash a stock ATT 4.1.1 ROM which also failed to take the update. I then installed a 4.1.2 Bell stock ROM (my phone came from Bell) via Myth, let the phone boot, and then flashed a stock ATT ROM via Myth and it took the update.

I am on 4.1.1 from the factory. This is a referb phone from the factory like not even a week old yet. Boot loader isn't even unlocked. Its all stock and I'm getting dead android.
If you're getting the dead Android, it makes me believe that something may be wrong with the stock recovery. Some people were able to get the update to install using the latest Philz Touch recovery rather than stock recovery.

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 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

btw, i have oreo ...U2 and the SAM nougat rom is ...U1, i cant find any nougat with U2.
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.
