I have done this by mistake in the past using odin but I can't understand why it didn't work.
I have now a phone from Australia apparently and kies is not very helpful. I already have the BTU ELLA update but I'm not sure if it would work flashing that with odin. In the past it didn't work and I had to reflash the correct update.
Am I supposed to flash more than just the PDA?

No, just place the correct rom in PDA and flash it. The phone however has a specific sales code and if the installed firmware differs from the device`s country code Kies will not support updates. Only if you have the correct regional rom for your S3.
Thanks.
In the past I had used a BTU Tom instead of the vodafone specific on a i9300 and it had lost the notification bar and touzhwiz crashed.
Once I installed the vodafone specific rom it went back to normal.
I have now come across the ELLA update on a Australian import s3 and just flashed it with kies. Trouble I have with that now is that the bottom shortcuts somehow are stuck and wont be replaced. I will try and reflash the rom tomorrow with odin and if it doesn't work I'd like to try the international version of 4.1.2.
Did you wipe your device after flashing the firmware?
Some carriers do only than little modifications to the device and may cause incompatibilites with the standard roms.
How do I do a complete wipe?

Go to settings, backup and restore and do a data facory reset.
Ah you mean a factory data reset.
When I do that the australian version adds 2 apps which are easily removed and I cannot see anything else there. I also have another issue.
Odin 3.04 does not see my phone. Only odin 1.85 can.
But even that version says that the md5 file I downloaded from sammobile is invalid.
I am going to try this with mobile odin
Right
Tried the btu version with mobile odin and again have the same issue. Notification panel is gone and the touchwiz doesn't work properly.

You have to reset after you flashed the rom. Did you reset the flash counter with Triangle Away?
Update
Retried the btu md5 but selected to wipe data and cache from mobile odin pro.
It seems to be working now
Hi, Im writting this threat to solve a problem with my s6 edge. Two weeks ago I bought a phone from Aliexpress, and when it came everithing was okey, it came with 5.1.1, so i decided to upgrade to 6.0.1. How the phone was new and i had no idea about which rom install I installed the 5 files rom XEU without making a backup of the EFS folder. After install it, the phone worked, but it wasn´t able to make calls or recieve SMS, the phone said "no registered on network". I tried to solve this problem installing a modem, but this aggravate the problem, appearing a prohibited sign in the status bar and with the IMEI and Baseband unknown. I tried to install another roms, but odin always failed, the only rom that odin let me install is the AP file of the 5 files XEU rom. I sent the phone to the Samsung technical service, and the said me that they can´t repair the phone because the phone is from Israel, and they only repair EU phone. The phone works, everything is okey but it can´t use the network services. How the technical service said me the phone is from Israel, and it came (if im not wrong) with this rom: "G925FXXU3COJ1_G925FOJK3COJ3_ILO" (5.1.1 rom from Israel), but now the only rom that works is "AP_G925FXXS3DPB1_CL7025264_QB8758701_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5" (the AP file from the 5 files 6.0.1 XEU rom). I don´t know how to solve the problem, the phone is totally new, and when I try to install any rom Odin gets fail. Can anybody help me? Is the first time I buy a good phone and on the third day it gets broken. Any solution? Please help me, thanks. (Sorry for my bad English, I´m from Spain)

Yes I have tried with Samsung Smart Switch, but Nothing, it don't let me restore the phone
Try flashing a firmware with the number 4
For example I flashed with G925FXXU4DPGW
If you try to flash with a firmware with 3 in the place of 4 it might not work. So try it.

Just flash the stock firmware for your region.
Or try to flash stock XEU or BTU. Most international firmwares and multi csc firmwares come with efs or modem files.
If you are trying to flash a branded firmware this could be why as this happened when I tried to flash EVR rom.
I can link you to the stock XEU download that I'm using.
If you get an fail in odin let me know where it fails... example hidden.img fail or system.img fail.

Hi Callumbr1, I´ve tried to install the 5.1.1 rom of my country (spain), but Odin gets fail, at first it fails at "cm.bin" archive, so I deleted it from the tar archive, then I flash the rom again and another Odin problem, it failed at "hidden.img", so I also deleted it from the tar archive, afterwards I flash again and another odin problem at "sboot.bin" (this sboot archive always fail when I try to flash a rom), so I also deleted it. After having removed the 3 archives from the original tar archive (the rom was G925FXXU3COI9_G925FPHE3COI6_PHE), the rom started to flash normally but after it the phone gets stuck on Samsung galaxy S6 edge logo.
I also have tried to install the 5.1.1 XEU (G925FXXU3COI9_G925FOXA3COI9_XEU), but also same problem at "hidden.img" and at "sboot.bin", after deleting them, another bootloop. What can I do? Maybe I have to start trying to flash 6.0.1 roms, I will also try to flash roms with number 4 how Subhy259 said. What do you think Callumbr1, what can I do?

What firmware was you on before? Was it 6.0.1? Is so you have to flash a 6.0.1 rom. You can't flash from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1.
Hidden.img fail means you need pit file for partitions.
Was the device unlocked when you got it? It could have locked bootloader which means you will have to flash the firmware it came with.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/85917/G925FXXU4DPGW_G925FOXA4DPGW_XEU/
Flash this firmware see if this works. It's multi csc European so should work.
If you get any errors copy the odin log to here so I can see. The good news is its not bricked. We just need to find the firmware that will flash

Go on to settings then reset. Reset network settings. then go onto mobile networks, set to LTE/3g/2g. Set work network to auto. Reboot phone and should work
Or set the network to the same as your sim

I've tried that but still on "Not registered on network" (it should be a phone problem because the sim works in other phones), I think it's a modem problem, maybe flashing the modem of another rom could work. What do you think?

Look at this thread. You need the top pit file zerolte_eur_open.pit
In odin you need to insert the firmware into AP again and click on pit where the options are. Insert the downloaded pit file and make sure re partition and f.reset is checked and then flash.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Okay.... what error did you get in odin when trying to flash the 4 files?
I have whatsapp and facebook messenger, pm me when you are free after work
This Firmware is taken right from the SamFirm Tool so its as Official as it can be
WARNING, ONCE YOU TAKE THE PJ2 UPDATE, YOU CANNOT ROLL BACK TO ANY OLDER FIRMWARE!!
How to Install:
Download and Install Samsung Drivers
Download the Firmware below and Unzip
PrinceCosmy Odin 3.12 Here and Unzip
Place appropriate files in Odin: BL, AP, CP, CSC or Home_CSC
CSC will full wipe partitions to factory reset, Home_CSC flashes firmware but preserves user data
Click Start to start the process
First boot may take awhile so be patient!
In rare events of issues with incomplete firmware installations, you may need to try a different USB cable.

What exactly do you mean when you say you can't roll back after taking PJ2? Do you mean that I wouldnt be able to flash earlier versions with odin, even if i wipe the phone?

PJ2 uses Bootloader 4 so you can only flash firmware that uses that Bootloader. Like the Latest Version of the G930U can be flashed.
So you wouldn't be able to flash earlier ones correct even if you wipe

I can confirm this, I was stock and took the pj2 update. Decided to tinker with an eng boot loader and it went south. Wasn't able to odin and previous versions and ended up going to sprint for them to flash pj2. Now we have pj2 to download ( thanks @colin0998 ) so, onward with more tinkering.
Please bold and highlight the difference between CSC and Home CSC. I accidentally read past it (at my own fault) and reset my device. I understand that this is my own doing but please do something to draw attention towards it so others dont make the same mistake.

Has this rom been rooted and if so, where?
Thank you.
I needed this badly. I had rooted my s7 with the engineering boot loader and it decided that it would not participate in the carrier network AND reboot at will. Then it decided to spin on the LTE Full Speed splash screen until the battery drained. I did have root over adb and it did work, but something went sideways. I will skin this cat but the day is not today.
One thing to note: The Odin supplied in the download link did not work for me. It would start and then exit very quickly with some unidentified unicode dialog box. I had to go and find another copy of Odin 3.12 from elsewhere which did work.
I'm back to stock and everything is more or less calm with the exception of the sprint and samsung bloatware. I mean, seriously, why are one or more shopping apps in the priv-app install anyway?
:good:
Has anyone been able to root this firmware yet?
custom
i installed the eng root also and went back to this one but it still says custom..any suggestions? thanks

Are you using the right Sprint SIM card? Using the wrong model one can cause that

Im not using Sprint SIM card. I dont live in the US, and was able to use my SIM card normally before flashing this.
If I flash the 930U compatible with bootloader 4, will I get cellphone signal?

Were you originally on 930U before flashing PJ2? If so, was your S7 already unlocked or did you have it unlocked?

I bought an unlocked sprint cellphone on ebay and shipped it to Brazil. It came with sprint rom, and i flashed 930U PEH.
After that, I tried flashing 930P PF2, without success.
Then I tried flashing 930U PEH again, still no success.
Then I flashed this PJ2, it booted normally, but no more cellphone signal.

You probably lost your unlock during all of that. This has happened to me before. I had an unlock done on 930P then went to 930U and the unlock was still there. But once i went back to 930P I had lost the unlock so had to have it done again.
You might be in the same situation where after all of those flashes back and forth it became locked again. Suggestion is to install 930P PJ2, root it, then use an unlock service. Once done it will be unlocked. You can install 930U if you want afterwards if you do not want the Sprint bloat.

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

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?

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

@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
