I have a 2 day old 'unlocked' i9295 with a region/carier code XSI. According to sammobile this is a Middle East phone. I tried to flash the XSA Australian Firmware from Sammobile for the I9295 onto this device to get the Australian software, and more importantly modem through ODIN. The flash starts OK but then fails showing invalid ext4 partition immediately after starting the flash of hidden.img (one of the last images to be flashed).
I've checked the cable, and not had any issues with the computer for flashing.
I've tried two different XSA official firmwares - including redownloading them again.
The MD5 checksum checks out OK
Is there some way the phone might be locked so I can't change to an XSA firmware? Does anyone have any ideas how to bypass this WITHOUT breaking the warranty counters etc?
I'm currently left with a non-working phone, I'm downloading the XSI firmware again to see if that might atleast get me back to a working model.
I've not encountered this issue before flashing images for my other phones i9100 or i9505 previously.
Thanks for any help
XSI firmware flash OK
Update: I was able to flash the XSI firmware to this phone using the same method as the XSA firmware.
It appears that something has locked the hidden.img partition? Has anyone come accross this before?
Same problem here, had a rooted 4.3 rom and want to go back to stock rom and then officialy upgrade tot KitKat.
Downloaded N9005XXUDMK3_N9005TNLDMK1_TNL using Odin3-v1.85_3 with admin rights.
hidden.img fails to flash and now my device doesn't boot any more, it gives the error: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
How to fix this issue?
---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------
I just fixed the issue. Just flashed a custom recovery (CWRM) and then it asks for root, just say yes.
Reboots and then i have everything running again.
Edit: Problem solved.
To preface all of this, I understood the risks I was taking. I may have accidentally messed something up due to my own error and I understand this. The end.
I have the SM-T810 model. First I flashed the Permissive Lollipop 5.1.1 kernel through Odin along with the TWRP recovery. All went well. I made a backup through TWRP. Tablet worked perfectly upon reboot.
Then I went to flash the Optimal Rom according to the directions:
"1. Download ROMzip to your SD Card
2. BACKUP YOUR CURRENT ROM - I cannot stress this enough. Don't ask why, just do it.
3. You will need to flash the firmware package in ODIN that matches the base of the current ROM, located in post 3 here
4. Flash ROMzip in recovery
5. Reboot"
So Before flashing the ROMzip in recovery, I flashed the provided firmware package in ODIN, "810_oh7_fw_BigBot96.tar.md5" This is where Odin failed and things got messed up.
After restarting the tab it gets stuck at the "Galaxy Tab S2" logo screen. At the top in red letters it reads "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing."
I am still able to get into recovery, which I factory resetted, wiped, formatted, the whole nine yards in a million different combinations. Afterwards I would restore the backup I created earlier (which always appears to be successful), however when I go to reboot from recovery TWRP tells me there is no OS installed and goes back to being frozen at the boot logo. Weird.
Whenever I try to flash stock from Odin, the images provided on these forums, it fails
"<ID:0/005> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/005> boot.img
<ID:0/005> FAIL!
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)"
Where did I go wrong? I may have accidentally forgot to run odin as administrator, maybe that was it? If anyone has any questions I'll be glad to answer and I appreciate any help that I can get. Thanks.
I would guess that the stock ROM you try to flash has an older bootloader version than the ROM you had flashed before. The bootloader is not downgradeable.
So look for a 5.1.1 stock ROM with a "2B" in the version number ( a canadian and some other version is available). Then Odin should flash it just fine.

I have a feeling you are right, since I am able to flash other things through odin on the tab (like the custom kernel), just not the stock rom. Also, I just recently bought the tablet and stupidly updated it immediately upon unboxing, so I probably do have a newer bootloader. If anyone knows where I can get a newer stock ROM I would be very grateful.

It should be available on SamMobile. Also when flashing your twrp backup make sure you are restoring system.
Lastly you don't need to flash the firmware package just the rom as you are already updated by the looks of things.
So just find the latest stock firmware then flash that then the rom.

Thanks for the tips. Would a newer 5.0.2 ROM possibly have the newer bootloader, or would I need to find a 5.1.1 ROM which is what I had previously installed? Having trouble finding a 5.1.1 ROM
Wow that was stupid of me. I never tried flashing the Optimal ROM itself because I initially freaked out after flashing the firmware. My tablet is back in action with Optimal ROM

No worries, thanks button is above. ?
So I rooted my phone and rebooted. The OEM unlock must've been disabled somehow, and now I can't get the phone to start up. I tried flashing stock firmware, and it fails with SW REV check fail device 2 binary 1.
I tried getting stock firmware from sammobile but it's always corrupted, despite me watching the download very closely and watching it finish. I tried everything right down to flashing a new bootloader and frp lock blocks all of it. I have scanned google for the past 48 hours and contacted sammobile about the corrupted zip. I haven't gotten anything back yet, but I really want to get this phone fixed asap.
2 questions:
1. what does the error SW REV check fail device 2 binary 1 mean.
2. Can I flash any official firmware or does it have to be my specific firmware, and if I force it what damages are there.
If at all possible, does anyone have a copy of the note 5 rogers (nougat) rom. So I can try to flash something not corrupted.
Any help I can get is appreciated.
On a side note, I haven't been in the rooting scene for a long time (since kitkat) what new developments should I watch out for to prevent further issues.

You can download the latest stock firmware update N920CXXU3CQE1 For note 5 in samupdate or samsung mobile or any other websites to fix frp lock and the error SW REV check is about the sboot file when you update your phone you update sboot too , so samsung won't let you flash older firmware with older sboot file ....

I got an email back from sammobile saying they fixed the file. Downloaded it, flashed it everything works fine now.
Stuff I learned.
1. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT TURN OFF OEM UNLOCK
2. Always keep a stock backup.
3. first thing you should re-flash bootloader.

Good to hear that , did you get your phone install the update ???
Yep. Everything work 100%

And for anyone who hasn't kept OEM unlock enabled..
Once I ran my battery down to 0% on MM. Upon charging I was FRP locked. Go figure..

Hello people. I hope I can get some advice. I seem to have done a REALLY DUMB THING and unchecked the box in developer tools and .... sigh ... turned off OEM lock (there was an instruction about unlocking the screen. I know. DUMB). But now I have a bricked brand new note 5. I am downloading the firmware that should go with my nougat 7.0 and am hoping to be able to use Odin 3.11. I tried to use the Mac version Jodin but that didnt work
Any thoughts> advice? I know ... I screwed up big time and should have known better
Thanks !!!!!
What was the firmware before you bricked it?
I'm not sure what the security is on the frp lock but I'm sure it's either a tag in firmware or checksum. If it's checksum you might be screwed unless you were running stock. Did you update the device to nougat before you turned off the oem unlock?
Try the actual odin. I'm pretty skeptical of other versions. If you need another firmware I still have mine.

I was running the most recent Nougat that was OTA after I bought the phone and then used tdunham;s [How-to] Root your Device - all versions + All Firmware Download
I managed to get that to work and it was fine (rooted) but then I did the dumb OEM uniock
I did an android backkup on the phone befire I screwed it up but dont know how to get to it. Maybe flash a TWRP tar file?
The sprint firmware I downloaded is a zip file. But I guess thats not going to work with Odin
So ,what next?

You will not be able to use your phone again until you flash a complete firmware via Odin. You, me and many other are having the same problem on the latest Sprint Nougat firmware (DQF1). Heck, I had it twice yesterday until I noticed OEM Unlock was disabled.
Flash the DQF1 via odin, you won't loose personal files like photos but after that the phone will be buggy so you may want to do a factory reset.
I had to ask: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/fml-custom-binary-blocked-frp-happening-t3637070
And this guy: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/sm-n920p-frp-fap-lock-help-asap-t3637438
And you.
Fix: Flash a complete stock unmodified firmware via Odin.

When I try to extract the zip (on my mac) I get a message that says "unable to expand .... into Downloads". It could of course be a corrupted file, but I dont think so.
Any chance or way of getting to TWRP (maybe odin) and reaching my nandroid backup (which i figured was "insurance" against a screwup"? I could try to odin that, and am thinking of doing ir later
If all fails, do I just throw the phone away? I hate that idea
So, how do I get the firmware that I can flash via Odin???
As always, suggestions welcome.

Firmware are downloaded from http://www.sammobile.com/
Search for the SM-N920P and download one. It will take like 2 o 3 hours to download a .zip, inside the .zip there is a .tar.md5 file you will need to unzip, that file that Odin will recognize and flash. The DQF1 build will work, you just loose all the mods and root. (Avoid Macs if you are gonna tinker with Android)

I downloaded that file (it took a long time but I do have it) it's a zip file but when I try to open it my mac says I can;t. I have an old Pc that I installed odin with but for going back and foth and downloading my mac is much faster, (I transfer files to the PC using a USB)
I'll check to see if sammobile has a md5 for their file. But I guess I MUST havve that tar file

Thanks so much but there is now NO NEED
Here's a happy ending: I went to the local NYC Sprint store, the tech guy in charge was terrific, no sermonizing, he took the phone in back and after maybe 15 minutes came back with the very recent (QE1) firmware installed
I have it back, unrooted. But WORKING
Thanks much. And I must say I found the level of service from the Sprint store guy a real relief

Frp lock bypass on galaxy note 5
First of all you have to download firmware combination file for your galaxy note 5 with the same model number as your device have. Then you can easily flash the AP file with odin3 and your phone will turn on..The user interface will appear different but you will be able to access oem unlock feature in developer options.
Then turn of the oem lock.
Then you can download stock u4 firmware with 4 files AP+CP+CSC+BL
and you have to flash all these 4 files while your phone is in download mode.
After the procedure your phone will be unlocked and you are good to go.
I hope that this article would be helpful for all those people who have got their phone blocked by frp lock

Is there any way you can help me with this? I've downloaded 3 different firmwares, created a combinary using the tool with each of them but every time I push them via Odin, it gives me "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 6, BINARY: 1" and the other two times it was BINARY: 2 and BINARY: 4.
What am I doing wrong?
Do I just have to wait for someone to come out with something flashable?...

Hi there, I purchased a live demo Note9 off eBay model N960XU with the intention of flashing it to make it a cheap Note9 to play around with. I am aware of lack of cellular capabilities. The phone was factory erased and functioned perfectly without the retail demo lock but still had the retail demo firmware and apps prelaoded. I tried flashing in the firmware for N960W, using BL, AP, CP and CSC while also ticking nand erase to replace any past demo firmware. This flash successfully passed through Odin. However, the phone refuses to boot and goes into a screen saying security error and a red message in the corner saying secure check fail: modem. I tried flashing back the original retail demo firmware and the phone still refuses to boot. How can I get this phone working again?

Flash original firmware for your model without CP/MODEM FILE
Tick on nanderase all in odin.
You cannot flash CP/MODEM file because demo unit does not have baseband.
AP/BL/CSC only
Then do data factory reset from recovery.
Hopefully it will work

The goal: To have unrooted SM-N960F/DS stock ROM on my current Samsung Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960N.
Some background information about my phone and how I got here:
1. The phone was SM-N960F/DS and rooted when I acquired it. No idea what the original firmware on the phone was - any way I can find out?
2. To unroot, I decided to simply flash another firmware on it. By oversight I flashed SM-N960N.
3. After flashing, realized I now have single SIM, so now I wanna flash SM-N960F to get back dual sim.
4. In Odin, I have tried to flash 13 different SM-N960F firmware onto the SM-N960N, but to no avail. I keep getting the error "Re-partition operation failed." in Odin combined with error "Secure Check Fail : (PIT)" in the device's download mode.
5. I successfully flashed the custom ROM "Superstable ROM". However, I am not able to live with the limitations of a custom ROM.
6. Flashed the same N960N firmware again without any problems. But I cannot live without my dual SIM capability.
7. Now attempting to flash N960F firmware but can't get past the same "Re-partition operation failed." error.
8. I have tried the flashing with "re-partition" enabled + appropriate PIT file ==> "Re-partition operation failed."
9. I have tried the flashing with NAND erase + "re-partition" enabled + appropriate PIT file ==> "Re-partition operation failed."
Please help, I admit hitting the state of desperation!
Search your phone's forum for a modified stock ROM that can be installed via TWRP.

Thank you for your reply. Does that mean that, for my case, flashing official firmware is out of the question?
You wrote "I successfully flashed the custom ROM" so what does that matter? After all, you wanted to check if the dual SIM works, and not if the ROM is original.

you can try flashing modem and bootloader through TWRP with a zip, and then try to use odin again with official ROM
you can find them here
GitHub - corsicanu/9810-bootloaders_and_modems
Contribute to corsicanu/9810-bootloaders_and_modems development by creating an account on GitHub.

dual sim and single sim use the same bootloader and modem, the only change that they have in software is in the efs partition, that you must not mess with.
And backup your efs partition in TWRP if you haven't yet

Thank you very much for your reply. I would have very much liked to give this a try, however, after a lot of frustration, I simply contracted someone who flashed a customized firmware for me.

The goal: To have unrooted SM-N960F/DS stock ROM on my current Samsung Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960N.
Some background information about my phone and how I got here:
1. The phone was SM-N960F/DS and rooted when I acquired it. No idea what the original firmware on the phone was - any way I can find out?
2. To unroot, I decided to simply flash another firmware on it. By oversight I flashed SM-N960N.
3. After flashing, realized I now have single SIM, so now I wanna flash SM-N960F to get back dual sim.
4. In Odin, I have tried to flash 13 different SM-N960F firmware onto the SM-N960N, but to no avail. I keep getting the error "Re-partition operation failed." in Odin combined with error "Secure Check Fail : (PIT)" in the device's download mode.
5. I successfully flashed the custom ROM "Superstable ROM". However, I am not able to live with the limitations of a custom ROM.
6. Flashed the same N960N firmware again without any problems. But I cannot live without my dual SIM capability.
7. Now attempting to flash N960F firmware but can't get past the same "Re-partition operation failed." error.
8. I have tried the flashing with "re-partition" enabled + appropriate PIT file ==> "Re-partition operation failed."
9. I have tried the flashing with NAND erase + "re-partition" enabled + appropriate PIT file ==> "Re-partition operation failed."
Please help, I admit hitting the state of desperation!
