I'm trying to get my phone working again by flashing the stock G900AUCU1ANCE 4.4.2 firmware with odin but it fails every time and gives me the error "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1" while in download mode..
I was told you get this error when trying to downgrade or by flashing the wrong package.. downloading the official firmware off sammobile now..
any other suggestions on how to get my phone working again? I heard you can get it to boot by using the .pit file with odin but I cant find a .pit file for the g900a anywhere..

make sure you just choose the CSC, PA and cache to flash thru odin dont try to flash the BL that is what will cause the revision check error, you can downgrade everything boot the BL which is the boot loader, kernel etc,
Don't use the firmware from sammobile. Use the one from the threads in the general section.

Well, this is me...I'm stuck stuck stuck on Ver 6.0.1 and I really need to get back onto 4.4.4
I'm using a Verizon 900V and I made a video of the part of the process where it face-plants on me.
(Google search videos with this; "How to get Marshmallow to KitKat...???" to see what I'm talking about)
Please help?
I've downloaded the file for Lollipop (5.0) thinking that I had to step down to that before getting back to KitKat but that also yielded the same error which is this:
"SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2> Binary 1"
I have to admit, seeing the word 'Fused' kind of cheeses me a bit...dang updates....
(I *KNEW* I shouldn't have agreed to download 'em...)
Okay i will start from the top. I have a note 3 on at&t that i used towel to root with. I downloaded su, busybox, safestrap,etc. Long story short i didnt back up when i wiped everything and i cannot get safestrap to laod any new rom, it states there is no os on the device. I then tried to use odin to reflash to stock and i get the smd header check failed message.

Try using Odin and flashing all 4 files.

Alright, so I used this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...to-root-g900aucu2aoa1-4-4-4-2-3-2015-t3021120 and after step 3 no my phone only boots up and says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
So I tried installing the stock 4.4.2 and that didn't work, ended up with errors like Fused 3 > binary 1 and Something 2 > binary 1.
I should mention I got the Lollipop OTA update awhile ago, so I was all the way up to date. I'm guessing the issue here is that I'd need the stock image for the version I had before I started messing around, but as far as I can tell that's not available.
Not sure what to do here, but for now I'm completely cut off from communication so I could use some help!

Odin flash the stock partitions .tar at the bottom of this OP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60012961
Here's the backstory. Skip to the next paragraph if you don't want to bother reading it. (Phone is GT-I8190N)
Originally, all was well with custom cyanogenmod kitkat from novafusion. I got a USB dac which didn't work with the kitkat I had. Phone freezes upon plugging in. So I decided to go to lollipop.
So I flashed cm12.1_golden.nova.20150627 into the phone with 2.8.0.0 teamwin recovery. (Couldn't update to 2.8.3.0 for some reason. Used Odin. Said PASS! But version stays the same in phone.)
Everything went well, I got lollipop running. I decided to do a reset in android through the settings menu.
Phone restarted and this happened (teamwin splash screen flashes): /watch?v=Wr-dlk7q06A (Newcomer can't post link... This isn't spam but if I really can't put links I'll remove it)
I admit I panicked and did some things I'm pretty sure screwed myself even further so here goes:
Went back to Odin and tried to flash a stock rom onto it. (I8190XXAMJ2_I8190ORGAMJ1_HOME) Unfortunately. I was dumb and didn't realize my phone was GT-I8190N and not GT-I8190. So I got the wrong stock rom.
Odin FAIL! with error stuck on "complete(write) operation failed."
The second time I tried it the error was "There is no PIT partition."
So I did Re-Partition with goldenxx + the stock rom. It errored at "nand write start modem.bin fail complete(write) operation failed"
I did finally realize I got the wrong stock rom. That flashed properly and stock rom is working. Not sure if the PIT thing blew something up. Anyhow, onto the next paragraph where the current situation lies.
So now it's in stock ROM.
I got Odin to flash CWM 6.0.2.7 then I tried to use that to flash the same lollipop I used before. It got the error status 7. Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. No file context detected.
I tried the delete assert line trick. Now CWM gives no error. I don't remember what it exactly said. I think it said Updating. Then installation failed. No specific error.
So I flashed TWRP 2.8.0.0 and tried to flash lollipop again. Again error. Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Error executing updater in zip.
And that's about it. I have absolutely no clue how to continue this. All help is appreciated! Thank you for your time!
Have you tried flashing a different rom, lp or kk? Also rooting & doing full wipes, maybe jump from stock to lp is too big, I'm not too sure

Hi, I need some help flashing my device. Somehow, my device got stuck in a boot loop last night, and I've been having trouble getting it to work again. I think my phone may have reset during an update while in my pocket as I was laying down on the couch last night.
I found my device firmware on sammobile according to the specs listed below. I've downloaded Odin 3.14.4 and have flashed my phone successfully 3 or 4 times at this point, but when it restarts post-flash, it keeps booting into download mode. I can't seem to get it to boot into recovery mode or just turn it off at all anymore. No matter what, it boots straight into download mode.
Does anyone know of a way that I can force it into recovery mode so that I can try restarting it normally? This is my first time flashing a phone, so I have little experience here though I am competent with technology and willing to try further tricks to get it working.
I'm just looking for recommendations and hoping that my phone isn't bricked. I've only owned it for 3 months at this point, so I'm very disappointed.
Thanks in advance for the help, and I'm happy to provide any more information if it helps you come up with any potential solutions.

Do you have TWRP installed? Try flushing it. You can also follow Dr. Ketan ROM installation guide, it's very straightforward.

I don't. I was looking at that post earlier and noticed that it mentioned the G998B/N model. Mine is the G998U1, so I was worried that it wouldn't work or cause more problems. I couldn't find any versions of TWRP that matched my specific model.
your bootloader version is above v1. cannot be unlocked. you need to flash a samsung rom. try redownloading it if you can't boot. and twrp probably won't work either.
you're saying that if you hold the vol up key and power button when the device is off that it won't reboot into recovery at all?

I was actually able to get it to boot into recovery mode this morning. The download mode timed out and the phone shut off which allowed me to finally get into it. I tried redownloading the same rom I got from sammbolie again a few mins ago but still no luck.
Try another firmware with the same BL revision, CVC9 for example

Was your phone carrier branded originally? And you're flashing the u1 firmware so you won't have bloat? Or is it originally an unlocked model? I ask because if it was originally carrier branded and you used the Odin version from the SamMobile site then that may be the reason. U need to use the modded version of Odin that's floating around somewhere. If you need it I can upload it to my drive and let you download that version. I literally just flashed VCB last night and everything worked just fine.

No, I bought my phone directly from Samsung, and I bought the unlocked model. I chose the rom from sammobile that looked to be exactly what my phone originally had on it based on the model and PDA/carrier info I found when looking through the recovery logs on the phone when the issue first occurred, before flashing anything onto it. If you think the modded Odin might work, I'd be willing to give it a shot.
I can't tell you the exact differences, but I would flash with the patched odin. it's on xda if you search for it.
No luck so far. I've downloaded the patched Odin software and have tried flashing my device numerous times with the same result. I also tried tried flashing firmware that I found on Frija instead of the firmware I originall downloaded from sammobile to see if anything would be different, and that didn't seem to make a difference.
My best guess (could be wrong) is that it doesn't like the bootloader tied to the firmware I've tried to flash onto the device. I've spent a good while searching firmware that uses the version of the bootloader it wants, but I can't find it anywhere. At this point, I'm all out of ideas, but I appreciate everyone's responses and advice.
So this is what you are saying: You're using patched odin (https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/odin3-v3-14-1_3b_patched-zip.5158507/) to flash an official U1 Samsung rom (https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G998U1/XAA/G998U1UES5CVCB for example) in the AP slot, all other slots are empty, without any odin errors during flash, and are then unable to boot, with partition errors seen in download mode? This is very unusual... flashing in download mode overwrites partitions, including recovery. I would assume if there are no odin errors, then the rom file is not corrupt and the sd card is not damaged. I don't know much about flashing through odin with a locked bootloader, maybe unpatched odin with the above instructions is worth a shot. I'm out of ideas aside from the sd card being damaged or trying unpatched odin if the above instructions with patched odin are resulting in recovery partition errors. I don't think you can access adb in download mode either.
You can extract the CSC file using 7zip. In there you will find the PIT file and you can try flashing it with repartition selected and inserting the PIT file in developers section of Odin.

Interesting. I did not try it with only the AP slot populated. I thought you needed to always flash with the BL, AP, CP, and CSC.
wait, i messed up. if it has all of those files, flash them. my bad. i was thinking about custom roms - sorry about that.
Hey everyone, just wanted to make a final update.
I ended up bringing my phone into ubreakifix after trying just about everything I could, and they were not able to fix it either. They suggested that it might be a hardware issue and recommended sending it to Samsung for repair. I then sent it over to Samsung, and they confirmed that it was an issue with my motherboard. Samsung replaced my motherboard, and the phone is back in action. Since I only had my phone for about 6 months, it was still under warranty.
I appreciate everyone who took their time to provide me with advice. I hope that this post may help someone experiencing a similar issue to mine in the future.
