[Q] galaxy note 2 and odin3 - General Questions and Answers

Hi all
I have the GT-N7105T (Samsung Galaxy Note 2 - Telstra variant) and I just recently flashed a Galaxy Note 2 international firmware from Hong Kong via Odin3.
When I try to flash back the stock firmware that came with the phone, it fails. So my question is, How do I reinstall the stock firmware and get it back to the Telstra firmware via odin3?
To help out, odin3 fails just after sboot.bin and I am aware that has something to do with the bootloader. But I would much rather get help from experienced people before I go and possibly turn my phone into an expensive brick
I guess I couldn't wait for the android 4.3 update but I wish to return back to android 4.1.2.
Any help would be extremely appreciated

[Q] PIT files, MM and regional firmwares.

Hello,
I bought a galaxy s6 in Latam (g-920i) before returning to Europe (Spain). It is network unlocked, so it works perfectly. Turns out that the Latam firmwares (g920i) for marshmallow are being left behind in comparison to other regions as Europe (g920f). I have compared both phones (i/F) and they are identical, so I am feeling moved to flash a g920f firmware on my phone. When I try it, it fails. In the very beginning, I thought that it failed because the model name was wrong, so once rooted, I changed it in /system. Nothing happened, so I am assuming that the firmware fails because there is some sort of different partition set between g920i and g920f.
My question is, if I flash a g920f pit file on my s6 (originally g920i), will it firstly not brick it, and then enable me to flash a g920f firmware?
Thanks for your help.
Be good boy and never mess your device flashing stock fw with different phone version. BTW this is belong to Q&A section

Flashing firmware to Galaxy S6!

Hi all
I have a Sim free Galaxy S6 running Android 6.0.1 BTU, I want to flash it with the Three firmware so I can use VOLTE and the 800mhz LTE. Every time I try to flash with Three firmware using odin I just get a fail.
Infact I was using Android 5.1 BTU and tried to flash Three 6.0 firmware using odin and that failed and soft bricked my phone, so I had to flash 6.0.1 BTU using odin, so I know I can flash my phone, it just doesn't seem to work with the Three firmware for some strange reason
Any help will be appreciated!
Edit: Just saw I posted this in general discussion :silly::silly: my apologies on that part

Unsuccessful Unrooting of AT&T G930A using Kies or Samsung Switch

Hi all,
I successfully rooted my S7 from Nougat using the guide below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/heres-how-rooted-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502
But performance seems to be suffering since then. I'd like to unroot back to stock, but:
1. Can't find a stock firmware image of G930A to use with Odin
2. The newest version of Samsung Switch no longer has the "Device Initialization" tab as shown in the guide here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QhJngOuLQ4
3. I've tried with Samsung Kies as well, which seems to not properly recognize my device serial number.
Has anyone had success in finding an older version of Switch or other methods of unrooting the G930A?
Hi, same problem. Did you ever solve this? Thanks!
You checked both sammobile.com and updato.com?
If so try G930U firmware since it's just the unbranded firmware for US phones, works on all of them.

I did actually solve this a few days ago to unroot my Galaxy S7 G930A.
I used:
Odin V3.12.3 Patched
G930U Firmware (AP, BL, CP, and CSC files) from Updato (https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=9CDE46F3EB8211E7A5F9FA163EE8F90B)
After doing this it honestly feels like I have a brand new phone. Huge performance jump compared to the rooted package.
