Hey guys,
So I tried to root my S6 Edge and it got stuck on startup, I tried flashing back to the stock ROM, for the SMG-925F, which is the phone I have. Odin fails when flashing the rom. On my phone it says SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: , BINARY: 2.
I would really appreciate help as I just got this phone and it is quite frustrating.
Thanks for all the great work you guys do.
Do you have a custom recovery installed?
If so, upload zipped ROM via USB (MTP or USB host) boot to recovery, flash a 5.0.1 ROM from there, flash supersu afterwards and reboot system.
If no custom recovery , you can still try Samsung KIES software and use emergency recovery,
Hey. I have fixed my issue. I extracted my stock rom to a folder, deleted hidden.img/cm.bin/modem.bin and it let me use it. Can anyone explain why this worked? Thanks

The reason you probalby got stuck in starting screen is because you did not unlock the bootloader from developer setting which will cause it not to boot. But for the second part I don't know why odin does this; it seems like extracting the package let's you install the things that are actually needed.

Hello,
This is my first time installing a custom rom and I hope i did everything right. I installed CM9 using the guide found on their wiki page and installed it successfully. But after installation i cannot get my sim card to work on the phone.
Recovery: ClockWorkMod

Galaxy SIII international.
Thanks in advance

try reinstall a stock rom, check if everythings is fine then reinstall CM9
Thnx for the quick response
I think the problem isn't cm9, when I was trying to install the from I couldn't boot to the cwm recovery because I forgot to root my device. Then I rooted my s3 with cf something root kit and then my signals were gone. I have the international version so my phone should be factory unlocked so I thought I should install cm anyway cuz that might solve the problem. But it didn't. I really like cyanogenmod and don't want to revert back to crappy touchwizz . The problem was there before installing cm9 but after rooting my phone.
Please any help. I really need to use my phone.
Thnx

You should reinstall everything from the scratch mate, so revert your device at stock (using odin), then flash the correct [email protected] kernel and finally if everything is working flash cm9.
Edit: if your device is locked i think you can unlock it easily, search in the forum you can find out everything you need for this.

sorry mate ..
i am a complete noob, i dont know how to revert to stock rom, stock recovery and unroot my device
Download original firmware for your phone from sammobiles and flash it using odin. If is good then root it again and flash cm9.

Okay,
I have downloaded my firmware file but i noticed that i need three tar files for the flashing precess through ODIN but i downloaded only 1 file *.tar.md5
no clue now what to do
Update: I tried to extract the file using splitfus but it didnt work.
Update 2: Okay now I have Installed my stock firmware and it seems to be working now.. But should I risk installing the CM9 again ?

- launch Odin
- load that ONE FILE on PDA section
- put your phone in download mode (volume down+home+power)
- connect the phone to computer, wait for drivers to be installed and ODIN to find your phone (you will see a message in Odin)
- click start
- don't touch the phone until it's done. It will boot alone
Also, it might be a good idea to wipe data / reset to factory before and after flash.
You could find all this info with google ....
On the topic, I have a similar issue. My phone was factory unlocked , and got locked after flashing latest stock firmware. Downgrading didn't solved anything. I am searching the forums right now, but it seems like all fixes are dated.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, it will be appreciated.
Thx
Hey rsndetre,
Thnx for the post, but sorry I already did that and it worked ..
Here are the method I used to get back my device back to normal and got my sim card working and again reinstalled cm9
1- Downloaded Toolkit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
2- Flashed Stock Boot Image
3- Flashed Stock Recovery Mode
4- Downloaded stock firmware from http://fus.nanzen.se/
5- Flashed stock firmware using Odin (your method above)
6- Rooted the device again (using odin and CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4)
7- Downloaded and placed cm9 and google apps package in SDCARD
8- Installed Rom Manager from Play Store.
9- Downloaded and Installed ClockWorkMod from rom manager and booted to recovery mode using RomManager
10- Then factory resetted, formatted the cache and installed the CM9 and GAPPS V11
Then my phone was good to go.
My phone is up and running, thanks rsndetre, Arsaw and TecQuality for your replies. I appreciate your time
Thanks

hey guys, I was running my S3 on the paranoid android(2.99) just fine but then I tried to flash 2.54 over my 2.99 install through TWRP. It flashed fine but then it was stuck on the PA bootscreen so then I tried restoring a backup through TWRP but it said no backups found even though I made 3, i later realised they were in a different folder and I couldn't get them.
Anway, desperate to get a working phone, I downloaded the I9300XXELLA firmware and flashed it via ODIN, it failed so I disconnected my phone and now it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, select recovery mode through kies". I cannot go into recovery or download mode.
Is there anyway to get my phone to work or have I successfully created a paperweight?
The phone was bought from India. If I need to provide any information, let me know, I'd love having my phone back.
First step is to source a USB recovery Jig to get to download mode .
That fails its a service centre .

Hi i was trying to flash cwm but now when i boot my phone all i see is samsung galaxy note 3 and on the top left it says :
Recovery booting...
recovery is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit:recovery
It just keeps rebooting i took out the battery and it still does this! I cant get into download mode or anything please help.
I used the odin root file (like a re-root) to fix this when it happened to me
Yep me too
More details like android version...the recovery filename would help. As others have stated, try flashing the cf-autoroot file for the SM-N900P
My guess is that your recovery isnt there. This happened to me once and I fixed it by reflashing TWRP thru Odin

Where exactly did you find the odin root file? My phone works perfectly but I can't get into recovery mode to flash any other ROM. Thanks in advance.

No such thing as a odin root file, jpeery88 is correct just didn't say it quite right. First odin is software used to install (flash) rom and recovery (files) into your device (phone). ROMS are stock or custom and rooted. You need to get into download mode to install a custom recovery first before you can flash a custom rom. Click on ROM flashing basics in my signature for more info on how to get into download and recovery modes, root your device and more . . .

This was normally a job for a USB jig. I've not found anything for a note 3 though. You might take the battery out over night and try again.
Maybe with the sd card out as well.
Finally I think I've read an attempt with battery out but plugged into power.
after that its punt and buy a "new to you" one on ebay; they're like $140 now a days.
Help! So I rooted my Galaxy s5 using CF-auto-root and SuperSU and I flashed what I thought was CWM recovery from XDA, I installed mod manager which I then gave access to boot to recovery and now my phone is stuck in a custom recovery bootloop. Only if I remove the battery as it's about to turn off can I access download mode by holding relevant buttons but I am concerned that I have bricked my phone because there seems to be no stock recovery any more. Also mod manager listed TWRP as installed as well as CWM. Any help as to what I can flash through download mode or change files on my computer to help this problem would be appreciated. Extra Details:
Model Number: SM-G900F
Android Version: 6.0.1

flash the stock firmware from sammobile.com/firmwares via odim, it packs the stock recovery also
You will have to flash the full stock firmware and start all over from scratch. Also don't waste your time with CWM. It is outdated and has not been updated in years.

Thanks for that point about CWM - no wonder it's caused problems. If I can't fix the problem I was considering buying a new phone anyway hence me rooting my phone and flashing ROMs but I'll flash the full firmware from Samsung's website.

Think that was given is not Samsung site. It is by someone else and we don't advise it's use.
It won't be hard to fix it but understand it will completely wipe your device.

I did make a copy of all my android files before rooting and took pictures etc off it. Ah, I see. Well even if it's the correct firmware I'd rather at least try that - any working phone is better than one with files stuck in a faulty recovery boot-loop.

Okay so installing the firmware worked AND it DIDN'T wipe my device, I've yet to check whether the device is still rooted - it probably isn't. Any advice as to the best custom recovery out there for my international s5?
Edit: SuperSU says my device is no longer rooted, I guess it's okay to flash CF-Auto-Root again?
Edit: I flashed the auto-root again and it's rooted, I just need to be more careful with an updated custom recovery.
I started the night by downloading a rooted kernel for the phone and installed that using ODIN. All good.
Next I installed a TWRP recovery image using the flashify application from the app store. That works and were still good.
Then I had to flash a "modem" and "bootloader" for marshmallow (note I do not really understand what these were for, i was trying to follow a guide).
This is where it went screwy, after flashing these 2 files for my specific device through ODIN, it would not boot.
Im not sure but likely to make things worse, I attempted flashing a new TWRP recovery version because i belived it would work with the modem and bootloader.
Ive now tried flashing the stock firmware using ODIN but i get a FAIL message. Please please help, i only just got the phone and i feel hopeless.

use samsung smart switch to restore ur device to factory settings
it will fix ur phone back to normal
If smart switch doesnt work download your stock firmware from sammobile (make sure its the correct variant. Also were your updating from 5.0 to 6.0?
