You have to be rooted for that and mostly rooted means no ota its not hard to do if you follow the instructions. I was trying countless hours and found the easiest way as described in this faq

Hey mate, since you are not from France, is OEM Unlock available after switching to XEF for you, assuming you are not whatsoever tied with France (SIM, physically there)?

It should be there for me it isn't because I flashed about 30 times or more and now I have to wait for it to come back. But it should work for you if you still see it on your 7 rom.
I was on DBT Germany and no French sim needed

I think that update.zip should be installed over stock recovery without root on BRB2 firmware.

I don't get what you mean there is no update.zip available

Do the trick with XEF CSC and download Oreo update. Skip installation for later. Browse in internal memory and you should see update.zip. Copy that zip and share it. Everyone with BRB2 firmware, but not XEF CSC will be able to put that zip in internal memory and install it over stock recovery manually.

it stuck for me too, follow the steps till you put CSC, select HOME_CSC...i followed a mix of this guide and this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...tall-oreo-exynos-note-8-t3764563/post75926532 , he mentioned some steps like enabling OEM and USB Debug
also the comb file works fine, i downloaded it but first time i used CSC instead of HOME_CSC and it got stuck in odin, had to reflash xef, then comb again

[broken ace] i updated with odin without root

hi guys i forgot to root my phone before using odin..now i updated to 2.3 but the phone doesn't turn on..!! is what can i do?
What do you mean? You don't need to root to update through Odin. You just need to set it to download mode and follow instructions.
ok i followed all but noticed that the package S5830JPKP9 contains only 3 files 1.APBOOT_S5830JPKP9_CL457554_REV03_user_low_true.tar i used for boot
2.CODE_S5830JPKP9_CL457554_REV03_user_low_true.tar i used for pda

I accidently tried flashing the wrong rom onto my phone.
Now it says to use samsung emergency recovery, which doesnt work.
I lost the paper that had all the info about my phone on it..
Ive tried using ODIN to flash multiple different stock roms for the g925a and it always says FAIL.
Ive tried not flashing the boot loader.
Ive tried using the appropriate PIT
Tried different cables and usb ports as well.
edit: the phone was encrypted and had the reactivation lock on as well
Thanks for any replies
Hello,
Where can you boot ? Normal - Download - Recovery
Which PIT file have you flashed to your device ?
What was the ROM you flashed on your device ?
Where does Odin fails while flashing ?

OE2, OF3, OCE, OJ9,BOI2 stock i have tried them all to no avail
Sadly I dont know what ROM was originally on the phone, I lost that paper with the info..
Odin will fail at different files, like sboot and others. Ive tried flashing with BL and without.

SM-G925A bought in the US from the carrier "ATT".
Yes I tried SamFirm, it doesnt work for me. Unless I got the country code wrong.
Oh... If you have the AT&T version there's only the AT&T version.
Put "ATT" for the region.

You can boot into download mode on the phone?
Holding the volume down and power button at the same time? If so..
Use kies air, it will say that the phone is unsupported but still navigate to emergency firmware upgrade and put in the device model and S/N number located on the back of the phone or on the box, hope this works for you

S6 32GB only has 16GB storage

My S6 edge has this weird issue where it only has 16gb interna storage after flashing the nexify custom rom. How can i fix this? Do i need to flash stock?
Thanks in advance!

Is it showing as only 16GB capacity or 16GB free memory left? Sometimes rarely flashing custom rom can mess up partitions. Flashing stock will fix this.
Stock is the way to go then i guess, thanks. Yes partition seems messed up.

Hi sorry for reviving this thread. i am having the same issue as OP and wanted to ask. i have an s6 edge plus and i rooted it to make it easier for me and wanted to go back to stock rom. so my cousin brother flashed it for me and it ended up having 16gb storage like the OP.
I was wondering is that the same thing as flashing stock or thats another thing?
I used odin3 3.12 today to flash saudi arabia version and it still shows 16gb. If its not the same thing as flashing stock rom, how do i go about doing it?
Thank you very much

What you need to do is flash the correct pit file with the rom to repartition the device.
Whats the model of the device?
The firmware and region you want?
The android version?
Tell me these and ill link you to the correct files and info how to do it.

Region = I am not entirely sure if i can install any region. this mobile was bought from saudi arabia, medina. So any suitable version should be fine?
Android version = 6.0.1

I also wanted to ask when i click on odin3 3.12 Pit tab, it says its only for Engineers. That kind of caught my eye.
Is it a risky thing using a pit file? as in a chance of bricking the phone or its just a warning odin3 gives?

Its just a warning. Dont worry about it. As long as you only flash it with the PAK firmware it will be fine. Its a message that will always pop up when you click on pit.

Sorry for the late response, it took 7 hours to download PAK version from Sammobile.
I just tried re flashing with PAK version and including the pit provided. but it shows the same result. storage as 16gb.
im downloading ARABIC (STC) one now to try.
Will put it to download and go to work and give you a headsup after trying within 4 hours (If the download has completed).

I just tried to flash my phone with the IRAN one where we had 4 files totally (this was the one we used when we went from rooted s6 edge plus to stock rom) but used only AP. This time i tried with all 4 and it says (Success 0/ Failure1).
So i just reflashed Saudi one i used before and now downloading Saudi (STC) from Sammobile. will let you know after i try it
Oh and i also wanted to ask. reflashing phone a number of time a day will pose any risk to it? or you can just do it any amount of time?

The one you tried to flash with 4 files you need to flash all files not just one. Thats why it failed.
I have seen this happen before and it should flash the partition back to 32GB after flashing stock with pit.
Before you flash the next one reply here so i can guide you.
And dont worry about the amount of times you flash it. It will do no harm no matter how many times you flssh it.

Hi, im currently at work and will be home within an hour.
This morning i used IRAN (4 file one) and used all 4 files on odin. Here is what i did in detail.
1. Opened Odin 3 v3.12
2. Uploaded BL (1st), AP (2nd), CP (3rd) and CSC (Last)
3. Under options - > only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time was ticked.
4. I hold volume down, menu button and power button at same time and pressed volume up button.
5. I connected the phone to Computer.
6. Odin3 recognized phone and i clicked start.
Within 2-3 seconds it said it has failed, and i used the SAUDI file to reflash back to normal (As i was late for work).
.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
For the PAK file with the PIT you provided, i did everything almost the same other than it had only AP file and i had Re-partition ticked as well. It flashed fine but showed the same 16gb storage limit.
I will be home soon and post here beforehand if its easier for you and allowed in forum to use skypecall or such, that is indeed fine for me as well.
Thank you very much.

If I'm not wrong you have the S7 Edge from USA T-Mobile Carrier. This Link has the latest Android 7.0 Nougat Update (Build 12.04.2018) for the S7 Edge [USA T-Mobile].
Okay, once you downloaded the Firmware, you have to extract it. You should get an .tar or .tar.md5 file then.
Now you need to Download the Flashtool for Samsung Devices called "Odin"
Link: https://odin3.en.lo4d.com/download
This File contains the Latest Odin Tool Version 3.13.1
Send me Message again once both Downloads are finished and you extracted the Firmware so I can tell you the final steps to flash your Device

If I'm not wrong you have the S7 Edge from USA T-Mobile Carrier. This Link has the latest Android 7.0 Nougat Update (Build 12.04.2018) for the S7 Edge [USA T-Mobile].
Okay, once you downloaded the Firmware, you have to extract it. You should get an .tar or .tar.md5 file then.
Now you need to Download the Flashtool for Samsung Devices called "Odin"
Link: https://odin3.en.lo4d.com/download
This File contains the Latest Odin Tool Version 3.13.1
Send me Message again once both Downloads are finished and you extracted the Firmware so I can tell you the final steps to flash your Device

Good. One Question first: is the Firmware a single .tar File? If yes, then start Odin, select AP and select the Extracted Firmware File.
After that (Backup all your Important Data first before proceeding!) you have to put your Phone into the Download Mode, Power it off, wait a few Seconds, and then press and hold Volume Down Button and Home Button and after that press and hold the Power Button. If you get a Blue Screen displaying a Warning, everything is good and you can enter the Download Mode by pressing Volume Up Button another Time. Then Connect it to your PC and wait for Odin to say "Added!" after that simply hit Start to Flash.

Answer 1: If it gets interrupted while flash, it normally shouldn't do any damage. It would be then called a Soft-Brick and you would have to flash it again.
Answer 2: Depends on what File Size the Firmware has. But normally it shouldn't take more than 5-10 Minutes.
If I understood right, you have 5 Files.
Do they (kinda) look like this or have such letters in it?
- BL ...
- AP ...
- CP ...
- CSC ...
- USERDATA ...
If yes, then you just have to put the files to the correct Tab. Like BL ... to the BL tab and CSC to the CSC Tab.

Galaxy J6 stuck at logo bootloop after "rooting"

Hello there!
I installed TWRP recovery mode on my phone in order to root it, I watched a very goog tutorial (
) on how to do it. After installing Magisk, my Galaxy J6 is stuck at logo bootloop, I uninstalled Magisk but it did not help. I tried to wipe data, format and everything from TWRP, but it did not work.
How do I fix my phone??

You can access download mode?
Then I recommend to restart from scratch by using Odin to flash latest Stock ROM (get it via samfirm_reborn).

Yes I can access it. What would the Stock ROM do for the phone? I am just curious and don't want to mess my phone anymore

It will be like you can buy it in a store.
Stock ROM = Samsungs firmware

Now I see, do you think it will work after wiping data using TWRP recovery?? USB-debugging was turned on before the reset, do you think it turned off?

Don't understand your question.
You wrote you've wiped already and it didn't help.
In download mode USB-debugging doesn't work anyway.
As system is wiped it can't work imo.

Thank you for the link, but there is no file with the name Stock ROM or firmware or something like that. How am I supposed to download the Stock ROM to my laptop??
Please bear with me, I know I am aksing to much
@mahaci7363 use samfirm to download stock ROM from Samsungs servers.
Check "binary nature"
Unzip the file you'll get into 4 o 5 different files (AP, BL, CSC aso)
Start Odin and insert the files appropriately.

@bmwdroid Thank you so much! Then all I have to do is start Odin and wait for the installation (I believe I should be in download mode). Can I use Sammobile? (Found a firmware for Nordic countries - this is where I live) In Samfirms I did not find a version for Nordic countries.
I really appreciate your help! Thanks mate!

Download mode is necessary for using Odin.
Sammobile can be used as well, but sometimes it only gives you a one part file which might not help as much as the multiple part files you'd get using samfirm.
Which region code did you try there? NEE?
How to Find Your Samsung Galaxy CSC Region Code? - KrispiTech
CSC stands for Country Specific Code. It is needed to download firmware for Samsung Galaxy smartphones and we can find out what ours is in
krispitech.com
Device type SM-J600F ?
Never happened for my eight devices that samfirm didn't find the stock ROM.
One part file has to be put in AP on Odin.
@mahaci7363 you seem to be right.
Just tried myself and with J600F I couldn't find any.
That's peculiar.
So you have to rely on sammobile.

My device type is SM-J600FN, but it is okay, I can download the SM-J600F version.
Isn't CSC the same as the build number?? In that case, I copied it before damaging my phone: J600FXXUACVC2.
I found a firmware version for J600FXXUACVC2 but its region is Iraq, which is really strange, since I live in Sweden and bought the phone from Sweden. Unfortunately I did not manage to find the CSC code, in downloading mode I don't see information about my device, I only see this: (check the image).
Can't I just choose the version Nordic countries or is it going to damage my phone more?? In that case, I can download the Iraq version which has the same build number as my J6

Edit: I did not see your comments before this comment, thanks for the help @bmwdroid ! I really appreciate it!
@bmwdroid the downloading instructions on sammobile:
Add the firmware files to their designated slots (AP in AP, BL in BL,
CP in CP, HOME_CSC in CSC). Do not tick any extra boxes. The only
options to be ticked are F. Reset Time and Auto-Reboot.
What is meant with the option F? I don't find any options in Odin.
Edit: I found it
