As stated on the title I tried to do SamFAIL on my N950, it was on latest Oreo and I didn't know it would not work (my mistake)
I did the system flash with the .pit file on comsy odin successfully (it finished with fail as expected) but after that I cant flash anything.
I downloaded many official FW packages, Nougat and Oreo everything fails on official Odin, gives model mismatch error on comsy odin.
The only file I can flash is this : HOME_CSC_OYN_N950UOYN4CRD7_CL13303302_QB17839096_REV00
Its from the Oreo official package. If I try the regular CSC it fails as everything else. HOME CSC from nougat versions fail as well.
What I have tried so far:
Other Computer, Windows 7/10, other cable, all versions of odin (only 3.12.3 flashes home csc successfully), Smart Switch says unsupported device, no recovery mode stuck on Emergency Mode, sometimes it boots to normal download Mode
Is there a trick to force the flash? Did I break my device by doing the .pit flash? I thought that official FW would always flash no matter what... Hope someone has some ideas. Thanks in advance!

I have a German S6 Galaxy Edge G925F. I rooted it early on with Kingroot, which (I gather) blocked me from receiving OTA updates from my provider. So I was stuck at 5.0.2. I've flashed custom ROMs on all my previous android devices, so this morning I thought I'd try flashing XtreStoLite as a way of getting to 5.1.1, and a nicer 5.1.1 at that! I used the directions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-xtrestolite-pure-edition-1-0-beta-1-t3082467 . I made a stupid mistake though, and started the update before reading ALL the instructions ALL the way through.
Now I can get into Download mode, but otherwise I'm stuck at the initial "samsung galaxy s6 edge powered by android" boot screen, with red text at the top:
Code:
KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
SYSTEM REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1
I'm on a Mac, and since JOdin can't seem to read PIT files anymore I'm using pure heimdall command line. So here's what I did:
1) Downloaded G925F-XXU2BOGG-BOOTLOADER.tar from the above thread, and flashed the contained 5.1.1 cm.bin and sboot.bin. (
Code:
heimdall flash --no-reboot --80 sboot.bin --90 cm.bin
)
2) Immediately found myself unable to boot. Worried I had already ****ed up, I did not flash the modem (since that's the part that REALLY can't go back AFAIK)
3) Flashed TWRP linked from http://zidroid.com/how-to-install-twrp-root-galaxy-s6-edge-on-android-5-1-1/ . (
Code:
heimdall flash --no-reboot --6 recovery.img
).
Still couldn't boot into recovery.
4) Flashed a 5.1.1 kernel to see if that would help me boot: S6_UniKernel_v8-0002-ODIN from http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...d-development/kernel-stockmod-kernel-t3100395 .
Now I'm stuck. I can't get into recovery mode to flash the actual rom, and my 5.0.2 OS doesn't match my 5.1.1 bootloader or kernel. If I could flash a 5.1.1 OS from heimdall that would be my next step, but I can't find one to use, and I'm not sure which partition(s) it would go to anyway.
On the download mode screen I see
Code:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G925F
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
Secure Download: Enabled
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x0304)
AP SWREV: B: 2 K:2 S:2
Please help! How I can get to recovery mode from here?
I dusted off an old Windows machine and fired it up, just to use ODIN. Found a vanilla 5.1.1 ROM for ODIN, and installed it from there... and it worked perfectly!
I don't understand why so many ROMs exist for odin, but no one packages for Heimdall. Heimdall seems much more reliable, and it's cross platform! Plus, we actually know what it's doing... /rant
Anyway, for whatever unlucky soul finds this... Flashing 5.1.1 via ODIN involved overwriting boot.img, cache.img, recovery.img, system.img, and modem.bin . Of course that's just one step for ODIN, you get a single .tar.md5 file, press the "AP" button to load it in, and it flashes those files to the right partitions in sequence.
So unless you have all of those files, I guess you can't do an update with Heimdall. You actually NEED a windows device.

hi there i did the same thing as the op and my situation is identical but i am using windows so could you please help me because i am stuck now.
Just flash a custom recovery, boot into recovery, wipe everything then flash the custom rom. Pretty simple stuff no rocket science involved
Hey
Yesterday I flashed a boot logo on my SM-G928F in TWRP. After that my phone doesn't boot into system or recovery anymore - there's always a blackscreen. I only can boot into download mode.
I tried to flash a stock-rom via Odin but that didn't helped - the same blackscreen, because a stock rom does not replace the boot logo.
I think I have to flash the stock boot logo ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1378RQ5w_vAAmnQ3HB0FymZXWIm12T0Mg/view ) , but thats a zip which I can't flash via Odin.
There a two ways in my mind which could work:
1. Getting a tar.md5 file with the stock boot logo.
2. Getting a tool which allows to flash zips in download mode of the phone.
I really hope that someone could help me with my big problem.
Best regards
DGB
Hey there
I recommend to flash the firmware again but this time after flashing firmware flash the twrp and flash the zip via adb sideload ( a feature present in TWRP) as by adb sideload one is able to flash zip files as well
Or i recommend you to get to know the combination of keys that will help you to directly enter into recovery
Hope it will work
And if there is any problem let me know
As in the internet there are various ways by which a person can flash the custom rom and custom recovery via odin
Look at this link:-

Thank you for your answer but that didn't worked. The problem is that flashing the stock firmware doesn't replace or repair the boot image. So I've got a never ending blackscreen when I want to boot in system or TWRP/Recovery and that means that I'm not able to configure ADB Sideload.
I can only boot into download mode, nothing else.
I think the jpg of the boot logo I've installed was corrupted so it can't be loaded
You are in download mode so you have to press all the keys including the home button and once the download mode closes then press the "volume up key and power key and also the home button and then your phone will automatically reboot into recovery.
I know, I tried that multiple times but it doesn't work. Blackscreen... only a never ending blackscreen. The download mode is the only thing taht works. I have to flahs the old boot logo via download mode... but i don't know how
Wait for the battery to be drained out completely and then do what i said earlier

I did. but it didn't work, too
I really need someone who is able to integrate the stock boot logo into a custom rom which can be flashed via Odin... Or I need a tool which allows to install zips in download mode. I tried adb sideload again but it didn't recognizes my phone when its not in recovery.
I really think that my S6 edge + is nearly died :crying:

Not even flashing a factory firmware (4 files with pit) with repartition option selected?
What about a combination firmware and then a full stock FW?

I only tried to flash stock firmware with AP in Odin... and I tried stock rom with re-partition.
Where do I get those 4 files? I need XEU for my SM-G928F. It would be very nice if you could give me a more detailed instruction for this because I never worked with PIT...
get samfirm v0.3.6
On the model you put sm-g928f, region XEU, tick the binary nature box and press "check update". Download the resulting file, that is a factory firmware to do repairs in a 4 files format: bootloader, pda or ap, modem or cp and csc!
You will get this file:
SM-G928F_1_20180305151001_nsg8uwd0sh_fac.zip
Put each file in the correct field in odin!
About combination firmware, it needs to be same binary version as stock firmware already programed on phone! if first number on firmware version is a 3, combination FW need to be also bin 3!
G928FXXS4CRB4 if is 4, you need comb fw also in bin 4! if you downgrade you get odin error and a softbrick!
Was checking if any comb. fw is available, but i find only paid files for your phone model!

It worked means you got your phone back to normal or you could get the firmware using samfirm?
Pit file is always inside csc file on a 4 files fac firmware. Use the pit on firmware because the pit from your link can be from a early version of android and have different bits for partition sizes!
EDIT: Here, got the combination fw for the binary 4. IF your phone is already ok, don't use this!

I have the same problem on my j2 prime I can only goto download mode and in odin tried to install stock firmware but got write fail..can you please help me with this error
I wanted to root my A52 5G (SM-A526B) i first unlocked the bootloader
then i downloaded my Firmware with Frija and patched the boot.img with Magisk then i went into download mode and flashed it with Odin
Odin gave me a Green PASS Message and i knew i needed to factory reset with recovery mode but i couldnt get into it then i got into a boot loop with the Samsung Galaxy Bootlogo
then i tried to flash Twrp with odin to factory reset because i couldnt get into the stock recovery mode Odin again gave me a PASS Message then i tried to get into recovery mode but it still didnt work and now im trying to flash Stock Firmware but cant get it to work what should i do
The picture is what happens when i try to boot please help me to flash stock firmware
When i try to flash Stock Firmware it fails at the very end on vbmeta.img
The a52 5g doesn't have twrp currently. Also, you might have flashed the incorrect firmware.
Plus, just for you to know, you do not need to do factory reset after flashing your firmware. What steps have you taken to flash this firmware? How did you patch magisk? Show the steps so we can help you cuz you might have done something wrong
Ok it seems that your mistake here is that you are trying to flash boot.img. so what you actually suppose to do is to download the firmware, take the AP file from the firmware(don't extract the file!). Then, move the file to your phone and download magisk on your phone. You will see that magisk is offering you to install magisk on the top corner of your screen. You need to choose to patch the file, the AP file. Once magisk done, on your file explorer(probably in downloads) a file called "magisk_patched xxxx.tar" (the xxxx representing the version of magisk). Take this file and copy it to your computer, and on Odin, instead of using the AP file, use the magisk file. Boom, done. Now first, we need to recover your phone to its original condition. Take the AP file and flash it(not the boot.img!)

Try flashing other parts of firmware, not just AP
i.e. BL, CSC and CP
But don't add home_csc (USERDATA).
If all fails, you can use EDL mode to flash firmware

For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...
