Dears, thank you all for your efforts in making this website the best ever.
I just bought a new Note 5 (N920C) couple of weeks ago, and suddenly it went crazy!!
All apps began to crash and the phone reboots million times.
I tried all means of wiping, recovery, i even reinstalled the stock firmware, changed kernels, still the same problem, (latest kernel is SpaceX-Kernel-v0.1_N920C(official) still no use.
Now the thing is my knox counter is up by 1, and the warranty is void. :crying: any way i can reset it to send it back to samsung, or if there anyways to fix it it would be better as they will take two weeks min to repair it.
PLEASE YOUR HELP......

can you enter download mode??? (down+mid button+power)
if so i can recommend a couple of issues;
1) enter download mode and by using odin download the factory rom from sammobile.com... Select your country (turkey?) and find the appropriate rom there
2) flash the phone
3) with the same mode connect to pc and by using smart switch try to update the firmware (There is an update if i am not mistaken)
4) see what happens
good luck

Brother thank you for your help, I've tried every single thing, and i guess i came to a conclusion where its the google play services app that causes all this hustle.
Do you have any idea how to downgrade it? whenever i open it in app manager, there is no uninstall updates and all the buttons are not accessible.

if you are rooted, try removing google play services and then install the latest one from apkmirror.net

To be honest, it worked after i updated the google play services after the last update, then i tried to flash dr.Ketans kernel and it went crazy again, now all the apps work, but it keeps rebooting every once in while.
Do you have any idea how can I reset my knox counter? I want to throw it back to the warranty.
I had had the frequent rebooting issue with Space kernel then I installed the root-able stock kernel and the issue has been in the past ever since

Tamam m3alim, i just used it, but it didnt work for me for now, i will reinstall the stock firmware once i get home *on my private laptop* as i flashed a phils kernel, then flash this kernel again, it will work on the ksa built right?

knox is a software and hardware based fuse if it gets tripped there is no going back.. Even the great developer chainfire (mastermind behind flashfire, cf auto root and supersu) confirmed that knox counter cannot be reverted back..
I upgraded to OJD yesterday, same issue, almost all apps have sopped working, I fixed this with re-install kernel and wipe cache in recovery, not sure which one is the correct solution, just try this, thanks.

Hey,
Recently I tried to root my Tab S2 and I don't know where I screwed up.
I need help resetting my device back to stock, I cannot flash the stock roms/images. :crying:
It keeps failing, there is also a 'Kernal is not SEAndroid Enforcing' text in red on the boot screen and it stays stuck.
When I flash a stock rom, it says "SW Rev Check Fail Device : 2 Binary: 1"
If you need more information. just comment.
Hopefully you can help!
Well first of all you need to stop panicking and explain what state the device is in and what you did that caused the issue.
Also screenshots say a thousand words.
So, I tried rooting my device using this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/root-cf-autoroot-tab-s2-sm-t3187202
and it put my device into a boot loop. Then I think I flashed it with the http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/kernel-permissive-lollipop-5-1-1-kernel-t3205831 but I can't remember.
Now since it has ran out of battery it looks like this:
blob:https%3A//drive.google.com/5dd4cf24-c9b9-4a91-b27a-e2d280356b9c
and I can only enter 'Download Mode' and it no longer boots past this screen. After I did those 2 things I tried to look for some fixes like using the Stock Roms for it, and Samsung Kies but it didn't work.
You need to fix the Google link, not working.
Which device do you have is it running 5.1.1?
Did you flash the correct permissive kernel first then cf_autoroot?
It's running 5.0.2 and it's the SM-T810.
I think that may have been the problem flashing the 5.1.1 kernel by mistake. Is there a way to fix it. I don't think I can get it repaired as the warranty is probably voided.

Thanks for the help, I'll let you know of it works ! ???
At the end of the day this is completely fixable. All you need do is simply download the stock firmware for your device and region from SamMobile and flash with odin.
Don't wipe anything just flash.

I promise you, you don't need to send it for repair.
You have several options to fix this.
The reason you get that error in Odin is simply because you are flashing the wrong firmware for your device.
Tell me the region you bought this device and I'll point you to the correct firmware.

so extracted the zip and put ap in Odin and it worked. but I have no cell signal no lte or anything. it shows att but nadda. did I do some wrong? should I have put all 4 files in the spots in odin?
also I found there is now an oem unlock. does that mean I can unlock this bootloader or get perm root? or twrp?
thanks
You need to flash all of them in the appropriate slots, but you probably can get away with just the modem. That should get your signal back.
Enable OEM unlock before rooting with Kingroot again.
You can't install twrp or supersu as you still have a locked bootloader.

Thanks my friend, you really do help, not only me but a lot of ppl!
I just did all 4 anyways....
Tried king root 4.8.0 and it put a different kind of warring on screen (blue screen over entire tab that read unauthorized software install, go to an at&t store now, or something) that also tripped Knox to = 1 (yes I had oem unlocked).
So at this point I will try anything.......Goin to try king root 4.8.2!

I sent my tablet to Samsung Repair a few weeks ago (they replaced the battery and LCD due to overheating /freezing up), and just got it back today in the mail. It had Android Marshmallow 6.0 on it when I sent it to them, when I got it back today it has Lollipop 5.1. I tried to update through system update, and when it restarted to flash the update, it failed.
So I tried to reset it back to stock in the Backup/Reset option in settings and when it restarted to reset to Factory, I got this message :
"dm-verity verification failed...
need to check drk"
So I flashed this stock ROM you provided here, hoping a clean slate would fix the problem, and it flashed perfectly in ODIN. Then I tried to update to Marshmallow again, and after it downloaded and restarted to update it said "FAILED"
I have no idea how to update now.
How in the world does Samsung repair then send back a tablet that can't update!
Can you please help in any way?
I really don't want to send my tablet back for a third time and wait 2-3 more weeks, especially after the Samsung Note 7 recall, probably take months to get back. My wife is still waiting for her Note 5 screen to be replaced and they have had her phone almost a month now.

It's the same firmware as Colins'
I Downloaded The Fw From Sammobile, Yes Its Was Very Slow, Thats Why I Re-upped It Untouched To Androidfilehost, Much Faster To Dl For Others.
Only For Snapdragon Variants, Its The Universal Firmware, Its Free Of Carrier Bloat But Has Some Samsung Useless Apps.
Not For Exynos Variants Like The Sm-g935f, Etc.
MORE ABOUT UNIVERSAL FW READ THIS
The Zip Has The Att Extension But All Universal Snapdragon Fw Are The Same Afaik, It Does Not Install Anything Specific For Att,
Im On Telus/koodo Using The Sm-g935a Without Issues, Shows Lte Signal When On Data Mode.
Idk If Auto Updates Work, Although Update Options Are Available From The System Menu
Instructions:
Dl Zip, Extract Zip, Put Phone In Dl/odin Mode. Run Odin As Admin, And Load Each Cp, Ap, Bl And Csc(Dont Use The Home Csc As I Read Its Fracks Things Up), Just Use "Csc_oym" File In Odin
Fyi. I Used Princes Odin But Failed, Used Untouched Odin And It Flashed Successfully. Was On Nougat 7.0 Sim Unlocked SM-G935A At&t Branded Stock Fw. I Included Both For Your Pleasure.
Afaik It Will Wipe Your Phone, Do A Backup As Needed

Hi Vincom, yes i have already read the article. the main reason im flashing the rom is because of the hidden DATA icon in the toggle screen. and also i want my phone to have the OREO update as well. this is my first samsung phone. i have experience in flashing ROMs in my xiaomi redmi 1s phone. so im a bit skeptical if i can do this on my own. this odin process is very new to me. so what is the worst thing that can happen it i brick my phone? can i do a hard reset and will it default to the stock AT&T ROM if ever?

yes and no, csc controls what bloatware and which settings are setup by default dependant on carrier and country, hence why this is a universal fw and not dependant on original csc files.
if u truly have the att s7edge g935a, which is what i had, then yes.

yup i tried that one the first time. thats when it gave me the error message sha256. then i tried the prince odin that gave me the error mmc something.
The author claims performance and battery improvements but has anyone that switched over really noticed that big of a improvement?
I mean i already disabled all the carrier bloat with adhell isn't that basically the same as installing this rom? Does the universal maybe have a different kernal/different system level tweaks?

Samsung Science is only for the US version of the phone's. I wish they had a site like that for the international versions. But you can go to sammobile.com and check if your phone has any upgrades available. I doubt for the N950F that it doesn't have a newer software update, but on my phone the last update I got was in May which is the latest for my model unfortunately.
I have checked this and it looks like there are 3 updates available but I can't get them for some reason.I get a message that my phone is up to date all the time.
Sorry didn't realize you had International..my bad.

Is there any risk I'll turn my phone into a brick?
There is always some risk, as with all things in life, (interrupted process, corrupted files,
wrong files, etc) but the problems commonly arise when flashing unofficial roms

I'm going to do my homework first as I have no clue how to pick the right rom nevermind flashing my phone.
Thanks a lot for help
I would recommend taking your device to a Samsung Service Center and let them take a look at it.

Not necessary, he can just flash latest rom for the device through Odin.

OS Updates are released in batches. Different countries will get them at different times. You should get it soon.

No he won't...If he is still stuck on the March update (see post 1) then he is not getting updates at all. It's not a question of staggered releases for different countries, it's likely because his CSC doesn't match.

You can search updato.com or sammobile for the proper firmware for your device and flash it with the latest Odin. If, for example, you have an N960F, then search for that and then download the most recent specific country firmware that matches your original csc (XME). This will install the latest firmware and should also allow future updates. Suggest reading around a bit before you flash for the first time to be sure you're comfortable with the process. Better to be sure

Many thanks for this.Im in the UK and would like to have the UK firmware.Can I flash my phone with the UK firmware or I have to use Malaysian one.I bought this phone online brand new unlocked but it is Asian version with Exynos.There was a sticker on the box saying about using the phone for 5mins to remove regional lock.This was done by the seller as I can use any sim.I just can't get any updates at all even using smart switch.
Many thanks again

The 5 minute call for regional locks in a one time thing. You shouldn't have to worry about that ever again, regardless of what firmware you flash.
Now you can install the latest UK firmware, but not sure if OTA updates will work that way. If not, you can just repeat this process whenever new firmware is released.
Otherwise, flashing original firmware for your device (Malaysia) should fix OTAs if that's what you want
