hello guys im kinda screwed here. My phone is currently bricked. I can only get into the download mode. I have a n950F/DS and i need the latest august patch firmware asap. All the sites that i visited either have 20 KB speed or requires money. Can someone that already has the firmware upload it to somewhere and give me the link or can i borrow a samfirm acount perhaps?
I have an older firmware from the march update but everytime i go to flash it with odin it gives me an error of sboot.bin and it says "sw rev check fail bootloader device 4 binary 3" on my phone. I tried flashing without the BL of the firmware but then it says kernel rev check fail device 2 binary 1 on my phone.
ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED PLEASE HELP ME OUT KINDA PANICING

You can use SamFirm or updato.com for faster download speeds. I would just download the latest firmware for your specific variant from there, and then flash it in download mode using the latest version of Odin.

You have to flash the firmware with august patch using ODIN 3.13....+ 3 files+HOME_CSC.
If you use OXM_CSC to wipe your data you will receive this error message.

Hi all,
I am a newbie and don't know much. So please bear with me.
I was trying to root my Galaxy S5(SM-G900H) by using the tutorial given on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537 but the process did not go as planned as keep struck on recovery.img on odin3.10 so I googled and found that changing USB port will help so I take out the battery changed the port and try again but this time I soft-bricked the phone as odin struck on cache.img and now when i try to start my phone I get Firmware upgrade encountered. So now I again googled and found about unified toolkit and install it on my windows 10 ,now when i choose option 6 (i.e. flash stock boot image to your device) it says waiting for usb debugging to be enabled ,now I remember I turn USB debugging on but it is still struck here. Now what should I do? My parents gave this phone just a week ago and I am in deep trouble.
P.S.-I am only able go into the download mode not recovery mode.
Boot into Download Mode and use Odin to install the original firmware. Might require a factory reset after if still bootlooping. Here is a link to 6.0.1 from Sri Lanka https://mega.nz/#!YMAFhR4a!pZmf7OEWgzDzET1FLGsAOQ5XyVlvE8y4pJfB8KDNbMI . Any region firmware should work for the F model. If you want your specific one then check sammobile.com. I just linked to the other because it is a much faster download.
Problem encountred while installing original firmware
I tried to use Odin to install original firmware , I started the process but Odin got struck on sboot.bin (Also I read somewhere that whole process does not take more than 10 minutes). So please help me.
Which firmware did you try?
You might be able to use Kies to recover your device as well.

I downloaded it from http://www.teamandroiders.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-sm-g900h-stock-rom-firmware/ with PDA: I9500XXUBOL2. I want to know one more thing as I am in India so should I use INU or INS?

Oh geez...no wonder it isn't working. i9500 = S4. Really gotta be careful with that kind of thing.
INU is for unlocked from the factory
INS is for phones from a carrier
Either one should work. As mentioned, with the G900h, any firmware should work that is for that model, no matter the region. Use the one I posted and change the language or grab the one for India from sammobile.com though it'll take an hour or 2.
Edit: I see that it was just mislabeled as i9500, but the download says g900h after all.
Were you on 5.1.1 or 5.0 before you started this process?

Well I downloaded another one from http://firmwarefile.com/samsung-sm-g900h the second one, before it all started I was on 5.0 and the link you give does not work anymore. Anyway I tried with the firmware with upper link. And Odin is struck with sboot.bin for more than an hour. And have no idea what's going on? So what should I do?
Also someone suggested to use Pit. Should I use it?
No, don't use the pit. Try the newer firmware for 6.0

So I downloaded the 3rd link from http://firmwarefile.com/samsung-sm-g900h for newer version and try Odin 11.2 with it. I try two times to flash the firmware first time it struck on sboot.bin and second time it just showed fails(I used Odin with administrative rights this time) .Please see the attached images. Please tell me what should I do now. I want to repair it ASAP.
Not sure. This is pretty standard stuff. Have used Odin 1000 times and haven't had that much trouble with it. Sorry.

I think I should mention that the firmware I used was INS not INU and if you have a genuine link for version 6 for INU with fast download speed, please share it (different than sammobile because it has only fast speed only for premium users). Should I use PIT or try something else than Odin. Anything that might help please tell me. I have got this phone just a week ago and my parents are not gonna give me a new one so please help me.
I keep encountering sboot.bin error ,maybe there is a way to resolve it?
I'd just try to load TWRP and a custom rom at this point.

I want to know one more thing on the above link there is a custom firmware and there is a custom ROM with bootloader and all. So should I flash custom firmware or use the instructions given on thread to flash custom ROM?
The custom rom does not include bootloader and modem. You will need to flash via Odin if you were not on the same firmware as the software is based off of. I would flash them anyway, to be safe. You can skip the root part as it is not need. Follow the instruction in post 2 for stock rom users minus the root part. Make sure to boot directly back into TWRP recovery before it attempts to boot. You can load rom on SD card and any additional add-ons you want. Plenty of youtube guides on how to use Odin to flash TWRP and such.

Finally seen some progress, thank you very much. I successfully flashed TWRP recovery, but I got a couple of questions. Firstly I should flash ROM from recovery mode and then go to download mode to flash boot-loader and Modem files right? Should I flash ROM from SD card? And if this custom ROM causes problem is there a way to get to stock ROM? And is this custom ROM rooted or I have to root it via CF-Auto root or try anything else?
Rom might work without bootloader and modem. Just depends on your previous firmware. I would try and flash it though as it was recommended. Rom flash from SD card or internal. Either way should work. You will be able to go back to stock if you can find a firmware that works. It is already rooted.

Thank you very much.phone is working again with custom ROM.just one more thing if I upgrade from custom ROM what will happen?
:good::highfive::victory:
It should work to reflash the original firmware through Odin. Just get the one that matches your baseband version.
When I proceed to flash an earlier version(downgrade) of stock rom, it get stuck on recovery.img in Odin and on the device it says "sw rev check fail bootloader device 2 binary 1" Tried flashing other earlier versions of stock roms even the latest but still getting that message and never get past recovery.img. Fortunately, the device still works when I boot it normally. How can I fix this? Wanted to try other roms because of oem not appearing even after 168hrs.

i am facing the same issue i did some googling on this matter & found out that our binary number is updated to U2 from U1 so in simple words boot loader is updated to u2 & you cannot flash it back to U1 so far my learning is this.if you want to try some other rom you will need to flash U2 only something like this G965FXXU2
Post a screenshot in download mode and i'll post you a link of your right firmware also recovery error may cause of usb port try to change usb port
Can we downgrade to U2 to U1 pls let me know

Now that you said it, all the firmwares I've downloaded got U1 in it. So I assume you also updated to the August patch?
I update to August patch that changed the binary to u2 udpated the boot loader so when u try to flash the same it will not downgrage u need to find u2 only in firmware... if there is a workaround if anyone can help it will be good

Never got to show oem since I got this device, that's why I've been flashing other stock roms and still no luck until updating to August patch made it more impossible

Yeah apparently this is a somewhat common issue for newer samsung devices (i think it started from the s6)
You can't downgrade anymore, the only way i ever got an older version to work was by flashing the bootloader from a combination firmware. Other than that sol.
Did u manage to downgrade with combination rom can u share your steps
My S9+ wont flash back to stock firmware (assuming because of the error above) any ideas how to fix this ?

Same thing in my samsung a105g,can someone help me please..?
I bought an unlocked T-Mobile Note 10 and didn't want to see their stupid logo and bloatware and wanted to install the unlocked firmware. I downloaded the latest firmware as well as ODIN from Sammobile (https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-10/firmware/#SM-N970U1). I ran into two problems:
1. Getting stuck on the setupconnection step
2. <ID:0/007> FAIL! Model mismatch fail
I wanted to post my experience and how I overcame these problems. I hope it helps someone else facing these issues. I'm sure these are obvious to the experts, but for newbies like me, it took a some trial and error.
For the setup connection issue, what worked for me was:
1. Start Odin as admin
2. Start Odin first, then enter download mode on device and connect to the computer. Doing this the other way around always failed in getting stuck on setupconnection. If Odin fails, I had to redo this step, or I'd get this problem again.
For the FAIL! Model mismatch fail issue:
- Don't use Odin from SamMobile. Use the patched one. This is the one I used Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD from here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603883035
thanks for the warning/link. i just started looking at info to flash my verizon one to unlocked firmware.
edit2:
used yours and it gave me a missing INI fialure. used the one in here and it gave me the model mismatch fail...confused
edit2:
now it's failing with FAIL! (Auth)
My phone is Rev B2. I think the problem may be that the firmware I found is from Aug so it's probably an older revision ..FML
edit 3 ( or 4? who knows anymore):
I had another one which did have the B1 revision (I didn't take the fimrware update, on the other one, samsung shoved it down my proverbial throat). the one that worked has RP SWREV B1(1,1,1,1,1,1) K1S S1
The one that did not work has B2. I guess I need newer stock ROM files.

Did you ever get a successful flash to another firmware for your Verizon Note 10? I also have the Verizon model.
Thanks.
I think you need to download a Odin patched version, I have similar problem with a samsung s20+, try that and see it works
I have a Samsung S9+ AT&T version bought locked from AT&T in the US. It is still stuck on Android 8.0.0 and not receiving any updates. None OTA and none by connected to Samsung app on Windows Desktop either.
* I would like to update to 9.0.0 or 10.0.0 if possible
* Current SW ver: SAOMC_SM_G965U_OYN_ATT_OO_78
* AP: G965USQS3BRK2
* CSC: G965UOYN3BRK2
I have tried removing the sim card but still said that software is up to date.. I have not tried to ever root the device or unlock it. Seems perhaps that the IMEI is bad perhaps in some Samsung/AT&T server that prevents the server from giving me updates (based on reading around the Internet).
Any hope for me? I am not good at these things but am willing to learn and try though there is way too much information so not sure where to start reading and understanding the root cause of the problem itself.
Its a easy fix you will need to download the update file then flash it using Odin Patched
Here's a video that will help out. https://youtu.be/SVhR0E9ACnY
I used it the other days when i flashed my S9+ Sprint running on Andriod 9.0 -------> To a S9+ Tmobile Andriod 10
I dont take credit on this but here is also a good write up
1) Download Odin
2) Extract the firmware file you just downloaded. You should get 5 files:
AP (System & Recovery)
BL (Bootloader)
CP (Modem / Radio)
CSC_OXM (OXM CSC file, will wipe your phone)
HOME_CSC_OXM (OXM CSC file, will NOT wipe your phone)
3) Add each file to it's respective field in Odin v3.13.1. Use CSC_OXM if you want to do a clean flash and HOME_CSC OXM if you want to keep your apps and data.
4) Reboot your phone in Download / Odin mode with the following button combo:
POWER + VOLUME DOWN + BIXBY
5) Once in download mode, connect your phone to the PC, preferably using the original USB cable you got with your phone. Odin should detect your device and a blue box will show up with the COM port number.
6) Do NOT tick any extra boxes. The only options to be ticked are F.Reset Time and Auto-Reboot.
7) Click the start button, wait for Odin to say 'PASS'. Once the flash is complete, your phone will reboot.
Firmware screenshots, changelog, and download links will be in 2nd post of this thread.

I used the firmware from sammobile as I couldn't figure out where to get the binary for AT&T S9+. Even there they had for BST, Verizon, Comcast, Sprint. I tried the one called USC and it seems to work. I got the one labeled G965USQS7CSK5. I am now on 9.0.0 and so far looking good. Just finished. Thanks.

Thanks, I decided to stick with 9.0 for now as my company doesn't allow 10.0 for their own apps. I managed to download something from sammobile and it is working out fine. Thanks a lot for your help!!
Alright so I've been trying to flash Android 10 on my S9+ because it wont update on it's own. The phone was originally Verizon but its unlocked and has the tmobile firmware now which is my current firmware. I downloaded the correct firmware for my phone and it's for tmobile but when I try to flash with Odin I get "FAIL! (DeviceInfo)" in the log.
I've tried both the normal CSC and the HOME CSC as well as a modded Odin ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572 ). Also I've been following the guide that was on sammobile's site, which is also where I got the firmware. Any idea on what I'm doing wrong?

Check your rev builds. It could be that the build you're trying to flash has a lower rev than what your phone has.
