Samsung SM-G715A Successful Flash to SM-G715U1 after brick (Guide) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been forever since I used Odin and dived into the forums but I was trying to unlock and unbranded the phone and maybe root, I bricked mine in Odin with the wrong Firmware.
Turns out the firmware for the 715(A) AT&T locked version isn't anywhere to be found online except a single unlegit pay site.
-First thing to note is the newest Odin version will not work for the phone at all regardless, only the mod/patched version 3.14.1_3b_PatcheD (Other versions produce "odin repartition failed" error.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/odin3-v3-13-1_3b_patched-zip.5158499/
Put your phone in download mode:
Remove battery and reinstall (unplugged from PC)
Press the Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power Button(All 3 on right side) at the same time and it will pop up in download mode almost immediately)
Connect to PC
Doesn't matter if you launch Odin before or after connecting.
Install the Samsung Drivers first before using Odin(Use this link or Google it) :
Download Latest Samsung USB Driver v1.7.59 for Galaxy Devices
Download the latest Samsung Android USB drivers for Windows 10 and Smart Switch. USB drivers are required for seamless connection to a PC.
technastic.com
-Secondly this is the only firmware that will work, ill probably fileshare later, who knows how long it will be available:
Select CSC: ATT
Download Galaxy Xcover Pro SM-G715U1 (ATT) G715U1UES6ATL1 in Samfw - Samsung firmware download
Galaxy Xcover Pro SM-G715U1 (ATT - United States) G715U1UES6ATL1 Q(Android 10) samsung firmware download all model, lastest, fast update, completely free and fast speed in Samfw.com ✅
samfw.com
-Forth, it stayed on the Samsung Boot screen after flashing for a long time(Good 3 minutes), unusually long but everything started up fine after that, and every boot since has been normal. (You'll Note the first sign of the change is the Samsung Logo on boot instead of AT&T)
-Forth, this will downgrade you likely ATL4 Version to ATL1/AUB6(Android 10 vs 11) However first thing I did after setup was check for updates and install, it successfully upgraded to Android 11:
11 Working fine:

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing, by the way, It is ODIN3-v3.14.1-3B-PatcheD that works for me.

By the way, if anyone wants to keep unlocked, please do not update immediately. I found it hard to unlock bootloader after its version upgraded to 9
Please take this as reference: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/sw-rev-check-fail-bootloader-device-8-binary-6.4035053/

New updates:
Different CSC of the same version (i.e. G715U1) may have different functions. The point most noteworthy is that XAA did not have a dual sim manager. But ZTO does. (XAA is for the AT&T North America version and ZTO is for the Brazil version of G715U1, all can be downloaded from https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G715U1)
I had tried to use other versions (i.e. G715FN, combination firmware), but all failed.
Glad it did not go brick.
It is also not possible to use firmware of lower Bit/SW REV.
So hold your upgrade to higher Bit/SW REV. if you want to do some changes.

just wanted to say a thank you for this post!
I used a newer version of the SM-G715U1 firmware (2021-09-25) on my G715A...
https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G715U1/ATT/G715U1UESBBUI1
it probably didn't have any real advantage, other than that I needed fewer updates when I was done...
~R.

I recently got one of this Xcover Pro suckers for very cheap running Verizon software, I tried crossflashing to G715U1UESEBVA4 MXO since I popped my Mexican SIM card and a toast message appeared everytime telling me to call Verizon and the phone suddenly lost signal. With the new software the message doesn´t pop anymore, but I keep loosing network after 5 minutes. Someone has an idea of what could be going on? One thing that does still appear on the Odin menu is the Carrier ID set as VZW, my guess is that is what causing the network issue, but nevertheless I could be wrong, if someone has experience with this device and trying to use foreign SIM cards and is willing to lend some help it would be greatly appreciated!

How can this be?
I bought a S6 Edge which was originally on the three (UK) network. My carrier is Vodafone, so I want their build on my device to access carrier specific features such as wi-fi calling.
Simple right?
Download latest Vodafone UK firmware (G925FXXU2POHC), load up Odin and flash you would have thought. Side step the hidden.img Odin fail by reflashing hidden.img once the original flash has failed. Reboot into data wipe menu and clear cache and other data etc, reboot and job is a good 'un.
But no.
When I restart the phone, no matter how many times i've tried - the device proceeds to install Three (UK) branded bloatware; these are the Three likes, Three In Touch and a couple of other Three branded apps.
How can this be?
Is there a way I can reflash the device to give me an exclusive UK Vodafone rom experience? Whilst the three bloatware is removable manually, this should not be happening and I'd prefer to have the vanilla vodafone experience. Any ideas?

In hidden.img and cache.img are those files that "customizes" your phone the way that carrier wants. So if you can't flash them, then it is not a very easy thing to do
Managed to sort it by reflashing with a PIT so i'm on latest voda which is multi CSC.
Only problem with this is that the CSC choice has defaulted to Slovenia, when it needs to be VOD for the UK. Anybody know how to change this? Seems with a multi-CSC stock rom without rooting you just have to take what you're given.
I would like to access the wifi calling features from Vodafone so guessing i'll need the correct CSC to achieve this.
PIT FILE
Could you please tell me which pit file you used? I too want to use vodafone wifi calling but had a European device. Just like you I got the good old Slovenia CSC, had to root the phone then became a simple as using Samsung Phone Info to change the CSC so now I have VOD as my CSC but still have no wifi calling option which I believe should be there in their latest release ..... But cannot be used as it needs activating at account level and they are still beta testing it with some users .... I missed out on the testing as my phone was not branded

Sure i went for the 200mb PIT which was enough to flash the vodafone stock. You can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/g925-pit-files-multi-thread-download-t3171636
Did rooting the device trip the Knox or do you anticipate any warranty issues doing so? Sounds like there is no other option to obtain the UK CSC
It did trip Knox so I just hope Samsung phones live up to their reputation for being sturdy. Thanks for the info, will flash the pit at the weekend

Can You Flash T-Mobile Firmware On An AT&T Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 SM-T878U

I bought an unlocked SM-T878U for AT&T and since the tablet for T-Mobil has the same model number for either provider, can I Flash the firmware for the T-Mobile Tab S7 onto my tablet without any problems? Sorry if this has been asked I searched around for over an hour and didn't find the info I wanted.
Edit: this is the 5G version not the LTE but both are 5G
Thanks
Yes... you can flash firmware from the same model.
T-Mobile and AT&T should be using the same firmware (T878USQU1BUAC).
Your SIM card and device CSC determines what carrier specific apps and features to load.
Thanks for the info mine is using a different version then the one you listed I just don't want to brick a tablet I just paid 500 for...

ATK1 is an older version. Just make sure whatever version you flash is for the same model number. T878U.
It will install without issue... make sure to flash HOME_CSC to keep all of your data, apps, and settings.
Thank you for the info and I didn't know that home CSC would keep all my data... Thank you.

You're welcome.
The rule applies to all Samsung firmware.
Flash CSC_OMC to do a clean install.
Flash Home_CSC to keep your stuff.
That did not work I downloaded the firmware and flashed it and now it just goes to recovery mode and won't even boot up anymore figures this would happen, just the way this year has been going, you have a place I could download a good firmware to just completely nuke it and go back to stock? It was stock before I mean I just tried to put the T-Mobile Version on.
From this site, https://galaxyfirmware.com/model/SM-T878U and I used this build number T878USQU1BUAC
Edit: Edit it did end up finally booting up after doing the app repair function in the recovery and also a factory data reset but still says AT&T only thing that has changed is I now have android 11 lol
I just want to get all the att stuff out so I can use the t-mobile texting and whatnot I can't use that now because of the att junk.
It is like a VIRUS infesting it.
Again thank you for all the help.

Looks like you'll have to manually change you CSC.
This post has some advice on how to get this done.
SM-T978U Odin Firmware Flash
Purchased a sim unlocked SM-T978U (Verizon Tab S7+ 5G) and am trying to flash the unlocked or Tmobile stock firmware to it. I've gotten "passed" flashes everything when flashing all of the files from the corresponding stock firmwares, but...
forum.xda-developers.com
Also make sure you are using a patched version of Odin when flashing packages... I assumed you know that, but in case not, here is a link to download it... https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903995077
From all the digging I did. It is not possible as you have to unlock the bootloader to change the CSC. And well I spent over 3 days on this crap to no avail. I just sold my ATT model and bought the tmobile version. So ridiculous that Samsung does not just sell an unlocked version to avoid this hassle. Very annoying.

Android 11 Update for SM-T725 - S5e LTE - Firmware download

Hi guys.
DOWNLOAD LINK
MultCloud | Best Free Multiple Cloud Storage Manager
new.multcloud.com
This is the UK Version of the Android 11 ROM
Have successfully flashed to a my Australian one without issue and retained the unlocked bootloader
I paid a months subscription for SamMobile to get the new OneUI 3.1/Android 11 firmware - I'm running lineage 18.1 but I really miss the Atmos DSP, and HD Netflix, so am going back to stock.
It's a real pain getting Samsung firmware so as soon as it's finished downloading, I'll reupload somewhere, so anyone who wants/needs it can get it easily.

Only preference is please help us to keep XDA neat by not duplicating thread, this is against the rules. Thanks
Uploading now
Will see if I can't brick my device reverting to a stock, different region rom.... (I don't use the LTE functionality so I assume less potential issues)
Well, everything seems ok so far (it's nice being able to use the fingerprint scanner again!) and the bootloader remains unlocked
Got about 1GB left to upload
Updated OP with download link
Thanks mate, updating mine today
You can also download with Samsung Firmware Downloader. Github repo zacharee/SamloaderKotlin. It has a little more than Frija and is cross-platform Windows, Linux and Android. Has anyone heard or seen anything about T720 wi-fi version getting update ?

Recovery of files/pictures from bricked S21

Hi, I have an S21 and it is now bricked. I get the 'super build-id does not match with the reference' screen, every boot. I can get it into Download mode and it does show up with a com port in Odin. It is an unlocked phone bought directly from Samsung with a VZW sim card put in it. It was running G991U1UEU5CVDC (see attached screen shot of exactly what was running before bricked) and I want to put the same build back on it (or any build that will do the trick) with Odin to be able to get my Pictures off of it. From Sammobile I can get G991U1UEU5CVDC (https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s21/firmware/SM-G991U1/XAA/download/G991U1UEU5CVDC/1641071/)
Questions:
1. Do I get the XAA or the VZW firmware? (I assume XAA but not sure)
2. Both the XAA and VZW G991U1UEU5CVDC have the date of Apr 22, 2022 that matches my phone but the firmware times are 00:32:45 +0000 and my time is 09:59:55 KST. Does that matter? If so, what else do I do?
3. In Odin, if I put the BL, AP, CP files in and put the HOME_CSC file in the CSC, it won't delete my pictures right?
4. Anything else I should be doing to recover my pictures? i.e. is what I am trying to do going to work?
Thank you so much for any assistance, I appreciate it!

Sounds to me to be exactly as you're guessing. The phone orig was unlocked and XAA. But with the VZW sim it becomes as u have now.
So flash the XAA, it shouldn't change from the pattern it is now. And yes, home CSC avoids deleting apps and data, which is what you want.
Odd though you're needing to do this? Was it due to an update gone wrong? Something you did?
cheers

Thank you for the reply.
It was randomly rebooting daily. Device care said battery issue. Not sure if it was a hardware or software issue. I let it do the latest update that I had been putting off and it bricked. Not sure if it rebooted during the update or it was already in a bad state and the update failed.

Bricked S9+ how to revive

Hello, colleagues,
I've bricked Samsung S9+ (SM-G965F). The story is the following:
1. I rooted it with LineageOS 19.1, but after some time of use decided to back it to original firmware
2. Using https://github.com/samloader/samloader I downloaded original firmware for my country (SEK, G965FXXUHFVG5)
3. And using this instruction - https://techbeasts.com/how-to-unroot-samsung-galaxy-s9-and-s9-plus/ - tried to restore original firmware
4. After this phone did not reboot, stucked with white "Samsung" word on the black screen
The error, I guess, was on step (3) above - phone probably was not official and when (too late!) I looked at https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s9-plus/firmware/ I got that, probably, I was need the most widely used European firmware G965FXXUHFVG4 instead of ...FVG5 and, having phone responsive, tried to repeat step (3).
At the end of this procedure, Odin said "RQT_CLOSED !!" and soon reported failed update, while phone stuck in "Downloading... Do not turn off target..." state in 1-2 pixels before the end of progress bar. Now, if I try to boot it, it shows exclamation sign and a message "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software" (of course, Smart Switch do not help - it says something about "plugin lost connection" or something like).
Since I tried to write wrong firmware, I then decided, using the following procedure - https://technastic.com/samsung-pit-file-download/ - to repartition it using PTI file according to instructions. It did not help - situation the same, Odin reports "RQT_CLOSED" and phone stucks in 1-2 pixels before the end of progress bar.
Now is the question - whether it's possible to revive the phone? Any comments, suggestions are highly welcome.
Thank you.
You can still flash firmware with Odin from that Emergency screen. Just do button combo for download mode if you get that screen again, flash away. Just make sure you are using correct formware

Thanks for the suggestion. To be more precise - are you about this way? - https://www.droidwin.com/create-samsung-combination-firmware-flash-it-via-odin/ Why I'm asking - I don't see in Odin nothing about 'Combo', there is my screen:

I'm sorry for misunderstanding. When I use samloader to download firmware, in fact I get enc4 file, which need to be decrypted and result is Zip archive with 5 files inside - BL, AP, CP, CSC and HOME_CSC. So, four of them I can specify in Odin configuration - BL, AP, CP and either CSC or HOME_CSC. When you say 'stock firmware', what exactly do you mean? Some single file of those mentioned above or something else? I will appreciate if you can give more details. Thank you!
