it never works that easy , only combination or gsi custom roms which requires u5 or 1 for combination , especially if you are on the latest binary , i really want to know if you can anyhow downgrade without these two like with softwareboxeftpro or something.

it actually worked for me more than 2 times, bootloader blocked its own replacement, so i just replace others and hard reset, i don't know if it works for everyone i just said what i already tried more than once, but not always success.

What binary are you on ? If you are on binary 5, you can downgrade

Well, when i tried it(s7/u7) it gave me the infamous smartswitch erm cyan screen whenever you boot no way back but to flash the current official binary again with odin.

can you clarify how you have been able to flash old versions
what exactly do you mean by "replace others" and "hard reset"

Somebody knows a way to downgrade to binary 3 or 5? I just want to install a custom rom but get stucks with an binary error

hey guys,
I kind of got the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy A40.
It started last summer but was a little different back then.
As I restarted my phone my phone got stuck into a bootloop and on the top left there was written in red letters: could not do normal boot.
Until this day I kept researching what actually was the problem and how to fix it.
My solution turned out to be flashing the stock firmware on my device again.
But after some tries my frp lock turned "off" and I wasn´t longer in download mode, more like a cyan background and some data on the top left.
Odin showed me this text:

Thats the same source as the file I originally downloaded but thanks anyway, had an idea I was using the wrong lead from the PC to the phone, switched it is working as we speak, rebooted and now going to do a factory reset, ill let you know how it goes JJEgan, thought the phone may have bricked, phew
All ok now, everything working, thanks for ur input JJ....appreciate very much
I see Odin3 v3.04 is newer than the Odin3 v1.85 I was using so I downloaded this
Odin sometimes has issues and simply does not flash. Restart it, reconnect the phone and everything is fine

[HELP] My GT-I9300 now has the Product Name SGH-I747 and MTP Device fails to install

Sorry, currently a new member but being the noob I am- it seems I flashed my International I9300 to a different device (SGH-I747)...
My device is stuck on the Samsung start-up (no biggie), and I believe it's soft-bricked but currently I have no idea what to do.
I've been on Odin and followed many guides to get it back to stock but to no avail. It all fails. I believe something with the MTP failing to install is also a problem. I've done the CMD command and went into regedit and a number of other things.
Right now Kies can't even do an Emergency Firmware Recovery won't pick it up.
Also when I get it in Recovery Mode it exits out and turns to a black screen after a couple of seconds.
I follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-pit-bricked-dead-problem-gt-t2535367
As the PIT seems to PASS but from there all the other PDA's I try to start fail.
---
I can get it into Odin Mode.
And currently has
Product Name : SGH-I747
Custom Binary Download: Yes (7 counts)
Current Binary : Custom
System Status : Official
QualComm SecureBoot: Enable
---
Help would be much appreciated.
How did this occur? Well actually, I just did a Factory Reset when it worked and then it got stuck loading for hours... Then tried to flash something in... Apparently got the wrong one. And here I am.

it seems I flashed my International I9300 to a different device (SGH-I747)??? what does this mean? flashed SGH-I747 firmware in I9300? just want to make sure that what i understood is right because your post is making some confusion..
Can you tell me if your device is 16GB or 32GB or 64GB? pit file for all three of them is different. if you will use correct one than this should not fail.. i dont think that mtp has to do anything with odin but if it does than uninstall all the drivers that are currently install(your device drivers) and download and install samsung drivers from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?7iy79emc0bf1fb4 and then try to connect the device again.. I hope this helps you..

Thank you for the response.
Yes I flashed I747 firmware in I9300. I apologize for the poor wording. My device is 16 GB. The one from the thread I linked is said to be used by 16 GB variant, so I believe it works. (Passes)
I don't get that MTP driver error anymore, but now when I try to put a Bootloader in it says that it's an unsupported dev type.
A person got a similar problem here : s3forums.com/forum/galaxy-s3-help/5772-stuck-download-mode-diffrent-device-type-9300-sgh-i747 ( can't post link) but it appears to be bricked flat out...

I think mate you should check if your bootloader in locked or unlocked. As you mention above about QualComm Secure boot :Enable. may be before you was using gt-i9300 firmware it must be unlocked but after you flashed wrong firmware may be your bootloader got locked.
try to download complete stock 4.3 firmware from sammobile.com for correct variant i.e GT-I9300.
Download it and extract it and you will get .tar files
download latest Odin ( google it ) and open it.
put your phone in download mode by pressing volume down + home key + power key for few deconds until download mode screen appear.
press volume up key to goto download mode. connect your phone to your computer and wait till it install all the necessary driver. if you drivers are not installed properly then you have to manually installe the driver for your phone. download galaxy toolkit for s3 from xda and install it. search for the folder name galaxy toolkit in your computer. basically it will be in c:/ drive. open that folder and you will find driver folder under it. Inside the driver folder there will .exe file of driver. but before installing disconnect your phone computer and then install the driver. after the installation of your driver plug in again and wait till it install all the drivers.
Inside odin you must have to see that there is COM ID in 1st box and below it is written attached. if you dont see that then your driver are not installed correctly. uninstall and install it again.
after the driver install click on AP and select the AP .tar file that we extracted after downloading. select the appropriate file associated with it.
click on start and wait few minutes till the process gets complete.
If all things goes right you may get your phone back again.

None what so-ever. I hit a dead end and had to get a replacement.

Files for SM-S920L (Straight Talk/Verizon Variant)

These files are for the SM-S920L Straight Talk Variant. Do not use these on other variants!

To use these, unzip them, then flash in Odin (Available here: http://archive.midnightchannel.net/zefie/files/cell/SM-S920L/Odin_3.10.0.zip )
Choose AP, leave everything else default.
Odin/Download mode is Volume Down + Home + Power
You saved my phone ty
well crap
i have odin access but i am stuck in a twrp bootloop, but every attempt to flash to stock anything is met with SECURE CHECK FAIL
i'm hopeless and desperate, i have basically bricked my grand prime, does anybody know how i can just go back to good old comfy stock? i'm gonna freak out!
Thanks for posting these! Here I thought that our device would never see any development and now we have a mostly functional custom recovery at least.
Thank You
Thank you very much.These files totally saved my phone and my day.
the format the files unzip as are .img.ext4 and odin wont show them for selection when i try to choose them for flashing. what am i doing wrong?
Both system.zip files extract to system.tar.md5 which is what you need to flash in Odin. You are extracting the tar.md5 file which Odin will not flash.

rename tar.md5 to .tar and odin will install it.

Been some time since I've been here. Good to see progress.

I am having the same problem due to almost the same reason, any time i try to flash with odin i get SECURE CHECK FAIL: BOOT, SECURE CHECK FAIL: RECOVERY or SECURE CHECK FAIL[FMM]: system depending on what i try to flash. I have tried multiple odin versions on two desktops (one windows 10 other 7) and a laptop
The lesson here being... Disable reactivation lock BEFORE messing around with your phone.

No TWRP after flashing with ODIN
Ok, did a factory reset. Allowed unknown sources. Using Odin from this thread: Clicked "AP" and added the patched twrp "recovery.tar.md5 (also tried removing .md5 from extension), plug in phone while in ODIN/Bootloader and it's added to ODIN, hit "Start" flash shows it succeeds and phone restarts. I go back into bootloader (Vol Down+Power+Home)and there is no recovery option... Am I missing something?
NVM. VOL *UP* + Power + Home to get into Recovery. I'm rusty. lol

Having trouble restoring stock firmware to my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3

EDIT, SOLVED: I downloaded the most recent verson of Odin (3.14.1) and was able to get everything flashed. I was also using the normal CSC file and not the HOME_CSC file, which may have also contributed to the problem.
So I wanted to try out putting a custom firmware onto my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 (SM-T820). I managed to install LineageOS 17 successfully via TWRP, but after trying it out for a bit decided I didn't like the tradeoffs and wanted to go back to stock.
Well now I'm having some trouble getting the stock ROM flashed back onto the system. Long story short:
TWRP recovery boot is still working
LineageOS has been wiped and the internal storage re-formatted
I have downloaded several different stock ROMs and now identified what I am relatively confident is the correct one (SM-T820_1_20200501145641_h0dxr2w1l3_fac, region code XAR for USA), although it only includes the BL, AP, and CSC files (not CP, none of the stock roms I found included a CP file though)
I have all the Samsung drivers installed onto my computer
I have Odin v3.10.7 on my computer (used it to install TWRP to get LineageOS installed)
When I select the BL, AP, and CSC files in Odin and try to run it while my tablet is in download mode, this is the output I get:

I have been on Google for quite some time and tried several things, but I haven't been able to make any progress. Most of the advice for the errors I found seem to relate to making sure I have the right ROM, but I've tried several different versions and finally downloaded the one I have through SamFirm so I don't think I have an incorrect ROM.

A21s - Help with flash stock rom

Hi,
Odin don't recognize phone when in download mode. However, it recognizes when it is in normal boot mode. Why?
My phone is on initial configuration (first time use, after restore factory), I formatted why my son forgot google and PIN password. Can I help me? Thanks.
you have installed drivers for download mode? and rom reflash doesnt delete google password lock

I have installed "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones". It´s that?
Odin recognizes a cell phone by turning on in normal mode (but I don't have google password or cell phone PIN). However, it doesn't recognize when I start in download mode.
"... rom reflash doesnt delete google password lock ..."
How to delete this? Broke my cell phone?
Thanks!
[i assume u not stole this phone]
to delete google password lock use frp bypass, you can find it on youtube

Do not worry,
I didn't steal the cell phone. I bought it for my son on Christmas.
My son has his google account suspended because he changed his birth date. And now, you forgot your PIN.
I would like to resolve the impasse at home, avoiding sending the cell phone for assistance.
Could you point me to a reliable tutorial?
Best Regards.

I didn't forget. ODIN doesn't recognize cell phone in download mode. It only recognizes when I try to start cell phone in normal mode. That is, drive is functioning properly.
Tonight I'm going to check out the video and try the procedure. I'll be back for a feeback.

Very thanks for indication.
My cell phone is A21s (SM-A217M) - Brazil.
want to unlock metropcs model number is SM-A215U.. downloaded odin , firmware as well as samsung driver. but unable to do unlock network... can some one guide me Thanks
hey guys,
I kind of got the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy A40.
It started last summer but was a little different back then.
As I restarted my phone my phone got stuck into a bootloop and on the top left there was written in red letters: could not do normal boot.
Until this day I kept researching what actually was the problem and how to fix it.
My solution turned out to be flashing the stock firmware on my device again.
But after some tries my frp lock turned "off" and I wasn´t longer in download mode, more like a cyan background and some data on the top left.
