Hello Everyone.
I lost my phone after Installing New OJ3 Upadate.
Got My Phone Rooted.
Installed Arter 7 Beta 1.
After Trying to Delete Some Unwanted Apks From System Lost My Phone To Bootloop. So Tried to Download Software From Sam Mobile and that was Older OH4. Googled and Downloaded OJ3 And Tried to Flash Via ODIN 3.10.7 But to No Luck and It Failed.
Since Then I am Stuck at NOTE 5 Screen and No Matter What I do Cannot Get it Sorted.
Now Please Help Me And Provide Detailed HOW TO to Restore My Phone.
My Regards and Respects to All.
first of all you should know that newer samsung phones are not be downgradable to older fw.. So fw version which is installed on your device and fw newer than that can only be flashed.. And, second, what were ur steps during odin flash???
Switch to download mode then make sure latest odin and samsung usb drivers are installed on ur pc,disable keis if installed.. Then connect ur device, tick factry reset and auto reboot and untick re partition..click ap and select the downloaded firmware.. Once md5 check finished click flash..
Ur phn will reboot after flashing and you are goot to go.

If Someone Can Provide Me PIT file.
I will be ever grateful to that Person.
I thank you for your kind Reply

I have Seen That Thread But I do Not See N9208 Model Firmware or Any Files
I have Got No Idea If Any Other Pit File Would Work Or Not
So Still Waiting With My Bricked Phone for Samsung to Release XME OJ3 Firmware
If Anyone Knows Or Can Guide I will Be Thankful.
Regards
as an advice, you can google how to extract pit file from samsung phones..then ask in n9208 page if anyone could provide pit file for you (remember to check correct model no. and internal storage, it matters)

I do not know about the pit file being included while using Smart Switch but I would sure give that a try. I have mentioned it to others as fix but they did not seem to be able to figure out how to use it correctly so I will list the procedure out for you and you can try and see.
Put your phone in Download Mode
Open Smart Switch on your PC
Click More in Smart Switch
Click Emergency software recovery and initialization
Click the Device Initialization tab
Type in your model number using caps for any letters in your model and using the dash where appropriate
Click Search
Type in your serial number again using caps for all letters
You will see a pop up saying that it can be initialized or something like that, click OK
A new pop up will tell you which version it will be initialized to
Click OK then it will start downloading some files
Another pop up will come up telling you how to enter download mode
Connect your phone to the PC and click OK
It will download the firmware from Samsung
If you followed those steps exactly it will work unless you really do need another pit file that Smart Switch does not provide but I do not see why it would not.
Good luck

I have Tried Smart Switch but it starts downloading OH4.
So Its A No Go
if you have an unlimited plan then give it a go, after all doing something is much better than doing nothing. Also, i think it might work..

As i said in private message download the correct firmware and flash with odin
connect phone to laptop via usb cable. keep pressing Volume down and power till phone restarts then keep pressing both volume up and down till a blue screen appear then press volume up.
If flash fail then u use the wrong firmware look at this Letter and number when u look for firmware download.
I use the firmware name for SM-m205FN/DS for explanation
M205FDDU2BSH3
If the odin fail to flash the firmware search for U1 firmware even it's for another country i use my phone in Germany and the firmware is for India
PS. sorry for my bad english

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80487053&postcount=8. Check this post I have described the method. The link in the post is to LLD-AL31 firmware. In the same website you could search the firmware for LLD-AL10 and follow the same procedure.
So i´ve been locked in the KG State Prenormal for about 2 months now, two weeks of it i kept the phone connected without rebooting or removing the SIM...
I´m on my limit right now, just a few sights of the word "Prenormal" away of smashing this pieceof sh*t (1000 euros piece of...) against a wall... the use of an hammer also crossed my mind...
I´m about to give up, and sell this pos to buy a phone that actually would belong to me and not to the brand that sold me... Cause Samsung is NOT that brand, also i might never buy anything from these control freaks psichos again... anyway i digress...
After testing all guides i could find, flashed several ROMs i realized that the mistake i made was to update to binary 4... now i´m stuck...
Anyway, after all this, i stumbled upon this file "COMBINATION_FAC_FA81_N960FXXU4ASJ2_FACFAC_CL13996359_QB26885160_REV00_user_mid_noship.tar" that i actualy can flash, but can´t do much else with it...
It has binary 4 and is a very slimed down version of Oreo 8.1. I can install custom binaries, including TWRP, but can´t boot to it.. the phone just reboots.
I can even flash the magisk_patched AP i got, but then the phone wont boot at all. Can´t overlapped it with my stock rom cause then i got the error that the binaries are mixed up...
Not even with the Oreo ROM cause the binaries wont match...
Once in the OS i can access lots of hardware tools, but can´t install any apk...
So i wonder, What is this crap for? How can i use this?
Anyone here used a Combination file before? For what?
As i guess i have a few more tries before i just smash this phone, any new tips regarding the KG issue are also welcome.
Special thanks to bober10113 for the incredible patience he has proven to have...
Also to Mr. Ketan, that despite his very detailed and awesome guides, i just can´t seem to get rid of this crap... Thank you for all your amazing work that certainly saved a lot of other users... just not me...
And people, DON´T GIVE REMOTE ACCESS TO YOUR PC TO ANYONE CLAIMING THAT HE CAN HELP YOU.... You know who you are! Scammer!
No Hangouts chats! If this sorry excuse for a human had a real solution, he should share it with the community, not pull you over aside...

Combination file is used mainly to remove google account locks or some other kind of locks, also to downgrade fw versions.

Can you explain HOW can make a downgrade of fw?
I updated to version U4, and at this moment can´t flash fw U3, because Samsung...
I tried to to flash U3 fw over this Combination file, but always got the error "...Device 4 Binaries 3..." even without the BL file on Odin.
In fact, even when flashed individually, BL, AP, CP and CSC give that error.
So, how can this file help me?
