im in need of a firmware file that i can flash through stock recovery or a md5 file to flash in odin. what happened was i flashed the wrong modem in safestrap and got a unauthorized software error and wouldnt start into the system. so after hours of headache i tried just wiped my stock clean under safestrap. doing that made me lose safestrap so i only have download mode and stock recovery. i tried flashing the NC1 and MF1 md5 and it failed. so did the pit flash. on my box it says the version is i535.NF1. so maybe it wont flash correctly cause i have the wrong firmware. Verizon upgrade utility fails to repair it also. so could someone upload the NF1 md5 or flashable zip to help me out? i wasnt having any support at ALL on the android forums site. so im hoping it will be more supportive here.

There is no nf1 firmware.
Mf1/ml1/nc1/ne1
I'm guessing you need ne1, but post what the text says in download mode so we can be sure we give you the correct firmware to flash.
thanks for such a haste reply. according to the site that i uploaded as an image, there is a NF1 firmware for the S3. i need the one that says all_something something NF1. it has the like redo of everything lol. or so i have read. the GS3 i had before this one, same exact model it read ND3 which is also listed on there. but thats not the case now. i need the NF1. it says thats the software version on the side of the box it came in. oh and unfortunately my cameras to crappy to get a good focus in on the download mode screen shot but if it helps this is exactly what download/odin mode says...

and thats it. nothing else. its funny how it says custom still yet it has no OS/rom on it right now lol. i wiped it with safestrap which i lost after wiping :\ thats why im desperate for the firmware....again i appreciate the hastey help lol.

As stated in the previous response there is no NF1 firmware. The website your pulling this from isn't necessarily legit. I wouldn't pull this from any random site but that's just me
Also just checked Sam mobile and confirmed the firmware is indeed NE1

Maybe it's a page plus firmware??
I wouldn't know where to find that around here.
Edit: I need to know the entire firmware number, and are you sure your model is sch-i535pp? I don't want you flashing something that will hard brick your phone.

Looked up the page plus S3 and the model number is SGH-R530 that one and this one have nothing to do with each other. Other than sharing the S3 name. I think they might be a little confused. I did read somewhere that there was an update beyond NE1 but I haven't seen it anywhere
From my CM11 S3
it has to be NF1. when i first got it, it ran android 4.3 not 4.4 which from my understanding the NE1 is 4.4 which is kitkat. that isnt what im trying to get. (heard it has terrible battery life so i never took the update) yes i am sure it is i535PP. its on the back of my phone and even on its back casing that covers the battery. i already have tried flashing I535VRUCML1_I535VZWCML1_HOME.tar.md5 and I535VRUCNC1_I535VZWCNC1_HOME.tar.md5 found on the samsung site to get firmware. tried flashing in pda in odin. i get an auth error and my download mode says secure check fail sbl2. im glad it failed if it wasnt right. dont need a hard bricked phone lol. heres what the side of the box says that came with it. again i did not update anything on it so all the things should be the same.
VZW-SKU SCHI535MPP
SW-VER. I535.NF1
PRL 58024
then under my battery, the sticker that has the MEID an stuff. it reads
model: SCH-i535PP
SKU: SCH-i535MPP
FCC ID: A3LSCHI535
made in china and under that is my MEID but i dont think youll require that lol
need any other info just let me know. just keep in mind i can only get into stock recovery or download mode
thanks again for the help everyone. i appreciate your time
oh and no idea if this helps or not but on the lower corner of the box it reads SCH-i535MBPVZW
i just wish i could remember what was the build number. i know this same S3 under verizon prepaid, same model an everything. had ND3 at the end of the build number. hope this info helps to even though its not much. oh and this phone im trying to fix didnt have the ND3 at the end of the build number, it said NF1...

Third line down, nf1 firmware. Looks like a good file size and full firmware number.
yes i know thats the firmware i need. i had that screenshot uploaded on one of my posts in this thread. i was just trying to not pay 40 bucks to get a membership just to download that one file. and the other guy said it may not be legit....

O I see, hmm, well an nf1 firmware didn't sound legit at first.
If you can't find that firmware you probably won't have a working phone. You need to get your firmware somewhere. You can try upgrading with our 4.4 NE1 firmware, but the 4.3 ML1 and NC1 files did not work for you. That's the only download I was able to find, but that's definitely correct. It still may not be a legitimate file.

Anytime you have to pay for a firmware update, at least in my own opinion it's bogus. I wouldn't bother paying that much for a possible piece of crap or spyware/malware

so what do you suggest? does no one here have the S3 under prepaid? is there no way to like make an md5 from some kind of back up of your phones if under prepaid? i hope this isnt the end of the road for me :\

Try to download the Verizon repair utility and see if you can pull it from there.
i already have tried the verizon upgrade utility. it notices my phone in download mode and it says my device which is I535PP with the phone number unknown and i hit repair and it downloaded the software and tries to repair it but the program crashes at 83%. ive tried several times and it does it everytime. i even got desperate and tried the upgrade tab and it dont even recognize my phone in the upgrade tab. im so frustrated with this!

i would go ahead and retry it. i was looking for an actual installer but ones i found, i click and run it and it doesnt do anything. dont bring up no installer or anything. i thought if i were to install it instead run it from a zip, it wouldnt crash at 83%. as for the link you gave me. it just redirects me to the verizon home page. nothing about the repair software
My guess why it doesn't work is because it's trying to repair with the 4.4 firmware, and not your 4.3 firmware. This won't work.
I'm out of ideas.
Last thing you could do is try to get a hold of somebody with Jtag equipment and see if they have a way to get your firmware. Josh at mobile tech videos is who we usually recommend jtag work to go through. It'll cost $60 to do it, if he can do it.
Sorry man, it's just not a well supported device, nobody posted the firmware in this forum.

ok but i dont see why id need to pay for such firmware. if it was hard bricked, id understand but just for firmware? as that guy said its bogus if you have to pay for firmware lol. i cant believe they dont have firmware or some kind of recovery zip released for this phone yet. its over 2 years old!

First of all your not paying for firmware. Jtag is a service which downgrades the bootloader on your phone. It's a very intricate process of editing your motherboard on the phone.
As BadUsername suggested many times and as far as I'm concerned was very helpful you may have to face the fact that your stuck on the issue with have with no turning back
And your on the prepaid version of the VZW S3 which seems to be quite different and impossible to attempt to update or fix. You've been informed more than once that the firmware your looking for doesn't even exist. I'm not sure what else you'd like someone to do. It's been spelled out clearly for you here
From my CM11 S3
Hi, I downloaded and installed some rom file earlier, and I followed the instructions correctly, but something must have gone wrong because I wasn't able to get into my recovery after that. I still have access to Odin mode though, so I tried flashing what (I think?) was the correct firmware file for my device, a G-920f dual sim. That didn't do anything for me. If anyone can help me out, and also a link to the firmware file would be appreciated, as I no longer have the original and the only ones I've been able to find have like a 3kb/s download speed, which would take many many hours.
Also, for the firmware, should I download lollipop or marshmallow? My phone was on 5.1 before this mess. If the firmware is for both, can you link me to both and I will try either?
You might try to install Samsung Smart Switch on your computer, which is able to pull updates from Samsung directly and update your phone.
In other cases, my experience is that samsung-updates.ru offers higher download speeds than the sites you might have visited (Google Translate is your friend).
find a lollipop Rom, either a custom from here or a stock one from sammobile. If you were rooted I recommend a custom rom from the s6 forum alternatively if you weren't rooted get a stock 5.1 for G-920f.
no go
So, I forgot to mention, I cant boot into the rom either. Its just odin mode, no recovery, no android. All the files on that russian website are for 6.0, btw, but I'll try it out

Hi hope you guys can help me. I recently bought an unlock s7 but it has the three network start up screen and three bloatware on it. I downloaded the latest BTU firmware from sammobile and tried to flash it using odin hoping that this would give me a fresh unbranded firmware. When i try to flash the files (AP,BL,CSC and CP) it stops at "NAND Write start' in the dialogue box and "set partition' at the top box. What am i doing wrong? What have i to do to install the unbranded BTU firmware? Thanks in advance
Have you solved this issue ?
I have the same problem now, trying to flash an official stock rom on my S7 and it also gets stuck at "Nand write start".
Try to flash official firmeware without hidden.img inside.
That solved the issue on galaxy s6 series.
Correct me if i'm wrong.

Thanks @juli.freaky, I will give that a try as well.
I also got another possible solution to try to flash the PIT file first.
I will try both solutions
Hope this will help.
You loose all your data if you flash a firmeware with the pit if i'm right but i'm not sure. If you flash the stpck rom without hidden.img you won't loose your data.
That's the situation on the galaxy s6 but i'm not sure how it proceed with the galaxy s7

Thanks for the heads up, but I don't mind losing my data as I will create Titanium backups first before I flash
I will try it later this week, as I need to have a full functioning phone right now.
But I will surely post my findings here, so others can find the solution in the future.

Before you flash the BTU firmware have a look at this thread relating to the Identify Unsaved Numbers option here as your not in the UK, you may need to modify the others.xml as mentioned in the last post otherwise the option will be grayed out.
With your phone connected to you PC in developer options turn off USB Debugging then turn it on again and see if the message pops up on your phone to Authorize your PC it can reset the authorization which will allow Odin to work properly, use Odin 3.10.7.
Check in developer options that OEM Unlock is turned on then when you boot into download mode make sure FRP is Off.
was having same issue, came here for the answer, tried some of the mentioned things that didn't work but when downloaded the latest odin and flashed with it, it was worked like a charm.
also the post above mine is very helpful. so do read it.

I have the same problem.
How can I do this?
Ok, here goes.
Have a SM-G930W8 (Canada, Rogers, S7). Was running a 7.0 ROM from XDA (ambassadii? sp?). I disabled developer options to check a possible issue transferring files from my PC to the S7's SD Card. I restarted the device.
Custom binary blocked by FRP lock. No problem, thought I. I'll boot into Download Mode, fire up Odin and flash the stock rom back to the device (also what I've read in most every thread I've come across). Launch ODIN as admin, see the device is connected, select the proper AP(also BL, CSC and CP...I'm thorough) file to flash (from Sammobile I think it was), make sure repartition is unchecked and hit Start.
Here's the result...wait I can't post them but I have the screen shots! The phone shows Secure Check Fail (PIT). Odin gives an error at that step as well.
I've tried Kies (there's no SN anywhere on my device or on the box) so that doesn't work. Smart Switch, same issue.
Does ANYONE out there have any clue what I can attempt next? Sending it in for service will likely cost as much as a new device, with the warranty void. Thank you very much in advance.

Are you able to boot into recovery?
If not you could try to ONLY flash the stock recovery>boot recovery>wipe everything then boot to download mode and flash complete stock firmware via odin.
or flash stock firmware with the same CSC as your custom rom has/ flash "HOME_CSC" instead of "CSC..."
good luck

Try to only flash AP, I did have the same problem as you describe but I cant remember how I resolved it, I'm on G930F tho
Your S/N is on the rear of the phone it can be a pain to see but it is there. Use smart switch to restore the firmware. Just click emergency firmware restore.
It is? The IMEI is there but I didn't see the SN. Also my phone is black so that doesn't help.
I will have another look.

I did that. No dice.
I had the same issue as you. Used the same rom and disabled developer options. I downloaded stock firmware.. flashed it with odin. It actually took 2 tries. The first time I could see only 1/4 of the screen. The second time i flashed stock firmware from another country and it worked. You might actually have to do a hard factory reset if you cant unlock your phone.. for some reason. Then I let kies do its magic because I could then see my S/N. Right now I still feel my phone slightly different. Messenger is unstable for some reason also.
Ok.
Checked the back of the device for a SN#. Mine's black so I used a flashlight. It's not there. The Model #, IMEI, FCC ID# and IC# are all there. Does someone have a blurred out screeny of where THEY found their SN# on the back of the device?
Tried flashing with Odin the CSC(home) and AP files (stock MM from my region). Got: Custom Binary (Boot) blocked by FRP Lock.
Tried flashing TWRP again, to TRY to enter into recovery...same message.
With just the AP selected, ODIN seems to hang at "Get PIT for mapping" and fails. I'm running it again to make sure it's not a bad connection with the device.
Same result, hangs at "Get PIT for mapping".

Try to flash Nougat firmware, as that was what your custom rom was on right? I dont think it really matters though as I downgraded from stock 7.0 to stock 6.0.1 via odin without errors... But you can try
As an absolute last resort I would try to check the "re-partition"-tab and provide odin with a .pit file, then load everything (BL, AP, CP...) with stock firmware <<<< do this at your own risk, if you are not careful, your phone will be bricked
I am trying to flash MM back to it .
I'm not sure I want to mess with the re partition table...But it's already soft bricked.
Mine is also black. The S/N Is immediately next to the imei number I had to use a flash light to see it but it's deffinatly there.

I'm not sure then. Have you tried flashing the latest unlocked version for your region? I remember on my s6 I had a similar problem that was caused because I was trying to flash a lower version of Android than what I previously had. So ended up flashing the latest unlocked version BTU for my region and it worked. Sorry I can't be of more help. It looks like the latest firmware is still 6.0.1 that's why it's blocking it from downgrading.
Was sent a PM by a person. Was skeptical at first, but in 10 minutes using TeamViewer, they fixed the issue by reflashing the device (as well as repartitioning it properly). I can't thank them enough.
This is the person on Facebook...

Hello, as the device no longer boots its difficult to tell exactly which device it is, as there are at least 4 devices that seem to fit my device description. I've got the N8000, from GErmany, i received it as part of a package from E-plus. From that information there are 4 device ROM's available....one as late as 2015. Which should i take?
thanks again.

Hello,
I do need some help now. I believe i've followed all directions, but am not having success.
Again, my device is a Samsung N8000 Note 10.1. Purchased from Eplus Germany
I have read the directions in how to use Odin, and have followed them precisely.
Drivers installed.
Original Firmware downloaded (N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar). But, in the compresesed file that I downloaded there was also another file (SS_DL.dll). Anyone know what this means?
I copied both files into the directory of Odin v3.12.13.
began Odin, then put the tablet into download mode, then connected it to my computer. There was a sound from my computer recognizing the tablet.
I then added the file firmware file (N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar) into Odin under the AP tab. I checked that the re-partiton box was not checked, then klicked onto Start. But Odin failed after about 3 seconds.
Can anyone please help me here?
thanks.
Use tar file only .
<I copied both files into the directory of Odin v3.12.13.>Never heard of that before .
At a guess Odin cannot find the file or its not connected ID Box in odin shows as connected

Hello, sorry but i need some more help here please.
I've downloaded what i believe is the stock firmware for my device from updato.com: GT-N8000_EPL_1_20150303173500_n47626s3xd
This is a zipped package with two file in it:
N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar.md5
and
SS_DL.dll
I've put both of these files into the directory where ODIN is. I have downloaded and tried serveral ODIN versions: v1.85, v3.10.6, v3.12.7, v3.12.3, v3.07
None of them work. After loading the tar file, ODIN begins, then after about 3 seconds stops and show the message "fail".
Attached is a screen shot of ODIN once i've loaded the tar file, and one that shows after the fail.
I've also added a picture of my note 10.1 N8000 while in download mode.
Anyone can help me here?
thanks.
Download file .
Unzip file .
Put file on desktop .
Open Odin
Locate tar file only and add to PDA or AP
firmware that you are trying to install is a downgrade and the secure bootloader (sboot) is blocking it.

Hello, and thanks.
What you have described above is exactly what i am doing. Are you saying that the reason it does not work is because the bootloader is blocking it? If so, how do i get around this?
I would really like to "upgrade", rather than downgrade. But at the moment i cannot find any other firmwares for my device. A few years ago I saw several ones, but not anymore.
Do you have a suggestion of which firmware I should install, and where i can get this?
Again, thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate it.
Looking at sammobile and updato last firmware is .
N8000XXSDQA7 android 4.4.2 .( the last version for note is 4.4.2 )
But they don't list bootloader versions .

Hello, i'm not sure what this means. Which version should i use? and how?
That one flashed through Odin and hopefully its a later bootloader

Hello,
i tried to flash N8000XXSDQA7, but it also failed. Similar to all the others that i've tried to flash. I must be doing something fundamentally wrong, as the fail happeds after only about 3 seconds.
Any help you can offer? Really appreciate it.
thanks
I think that the bootloader section of your Note is damaged.The picture you posted shows right method of Odin flash

Ok, but what do i do if the bootloader is damaged? Can i fix it or flash it with another bootloader?
thanks.
Yes if you can get another bootloader .
Further steps are beyond my knowledge but have a look here .
