[Q] Help to flash Note 2 with stock ROM 4.3 - General Questions and Answers

Hello
I decided to try jedi master x2 (the version of my stock ROM was 4.3). After trying it out for a while I noticed poor battery performance and when phone was locked I had to press the menu button several times to see the screen. Yesterday my phone was booting up by itself. It did a couple times then got stuck with the samsung logo. Reboot again and again and the same stuff happened that's when I decided to flash stock rom from samsung.updates/device site using odin3 v3.09 however, I have not been successful. After it checks the md5 OK, it fails on the NAND write. Is it the case that the NAND memory is not unlocked? I am still able to boot into recovery though. I'd appreciate if anybody can land me a hand on how to flash stock rom on my device.
Thanks

I use ODIN 3.09 to upload the md5 I got from samsung.updates.com I get this:

I am able to boot into recovery mode. I have not tried to upload any other ROM to my sdcard and install it there. The stock ROM I had before was Android version 4.3.
I read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470262&page=3
then I looked at my device and read the following:
custom binary download: Yes (1 counts)
current binary: custom
system status: custom
knox warranty void: 1 <--- I think that's the problem
As you may know knox is a security feature which helps you to securely separate your personal and professional data. Well, in my case is not helping at all.
Another question: How am I going to remove knox with my phone only able to get into recovery or download mode?

Galaxy note edge wiped and can't install any ROMS

hello all,
I'm a noob and i messed up my note edge. I rooted it on stock kk 4.4.4 rom from Rogers and installed superuser and twrp. I wanted to do a factory reset through the settings and reset and erase everything but it won't allow me to. Every time i select erase it would just do nothing. Do i thought I'd be smart and enter twrp by holding volume up, home, and power button then wipe everything. Now when i power on the phone it just boot loops with the original Samsung galaxy note edge splash screen. I am unable to find the original rom for my N915W8 Rogers phone so i read I'm done forums a T-Mobile rom should work. I downloaded a lollipop T-Mobile rom and tried to flash it with Odin but comes up as fail. I tried to put the zip file into my external micro sd card and use twrp to install and it failed again. Any help is greatly appreciated. My end goal is to be able to get the lollipop Rogers rom with root back on my phone.
Thanks
Enter Download Mode and use Odin to restore the stock ROM.
Thanks for the reply. I tried ODIN but unable to flash. It fails right away.

Any other clue? I think the problem is I have no data in my phone. I am thinking it needs some base to work off of. Please don't laugh at my logic lol.

Rooting attempt on S6 G920F running on 5.0.2

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And I think I flashed CF-Root correctly. Tried to boot, Recovery is not seandroid enforcing. I then flashed TWRP 2.8.7.1 (the .img one) and now it proceeds to recovery after boot screen.
I tried restarting to system with TWRP and it went into a bootloop.
Am I on the right track? I mean is it supposed to be like that until I do a factory reset? I'm scared cause the ROM is still downloading lol how do I put it in the device's internal memory? Will I be able to in Download Mode?
On a PC running Windows XP right now, Samsung's USB Drivers don't seem to work whatsoever. I'll try it on my laptop and we'll see.
(p.s. should I have opted for the one-click rooting and stuff? Idk the guide tells me to do it via Odin so yea lol)
Since you were on 5.0.2 you could've used the PingPongRoot to easily root your phone. I did that but then after a while I thought I want a custom ROM so I updated to 5.1.1 and tried to use odin to root my phone but got the same issue as you.
After a few hours of struggeling I got out of the bootloop by doing an emergency software recovery from Smart Switch. However I'm not sure if it will recover to 5.0.2 or download the latest 5.1.1 in your case.
Nonetheless when I got my phone to work again I just flashed UniKernel with TWRP and then I was rooted.
I wont touch odin ever again I'm too nooby for that and it caused me to panic so hard with that goddamn bootloop.
I hope you get it solved!

Boot Loop after failed root

Hello, at this point I don't care about rooting my phone. I would just like to fix it and restore it back to normal.
I have a Galaxy S6 Edge. The thing that's wrong with my phone is that it's on a boot loop and it can't go into recovery mode (or boot loader what ever its called). It also says when on the Samsung screen boot loop (RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING)
My model is G925TUVU2COF8 and it's running 5.1.1. Every time I try to flash my firmware in odin 3.10.6 I always get this:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

Can somebody please help!
if you need your phone fast fixed, you could flash custom recovery and adb push a rom, for the odin problem idk..., after latest bootloader got myself a strange odin flash bug if i try to flash a stock rom :/
"My model is G925TUVU2COF8"
That's not the model, that's a firmware version.
Your model number is the G925T. Which is the tmobile S6 edge. The F8 firmware is 4 months old, which is probably why it's not working for you, you may unintentionally be trying to downgrade. You need G925TTMB3DOI1 firmware. You can get it here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/56137/G925TUVU3DOI1_G925TTMB3DOI1_TMB/ or google for a faster dl source.
It's fixed now!!! Thank you so much!
Sboot.bin is the bootloader part of firmware. Only the latest firmware will fix this issue. Glad your issue is now okay.

[Resolved][S6 SM-G920P won't boot] Kernel & Binary problems

I have a friend's phone a SAMSUNG S6 (SM-G920P) that won't boot, because he took it to some phone repair shops that have messed it more than it already is. I have this on the boot screen :
Code:
Kernel is not seandroid enfrocing.
Custom binary is blocked by FRP lock.
The first thing I've done is download a stock rom : G920PVPU1AOCF_G920PSPT1AOCF_G920PVPU1AOCF_HOME.tar.md5 and I tried to flash it via ODIN3.10.6, but I keep getting a fail message :
Code:

And this on the phone :
Code:
SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 1
Then, after searching online for this problem, I found out that I've been using the wrong stock firmware. But there is no way for me to check the modem and bootloader version, I tried fastboot but it keeps waiting for the device. I tried SmartSwitch and Kies, then can't find my device, and when I try using the model number (SM-G920P) and the serial number which is the MEID I found in the download mode>Home button (only that with the barcode), I get that this S/N is invalid. I really don't know what to do next, and I wish that someone could help me.
Thanks a lot!
Downloaded last firmware and flashed it. All things working fine, thanks.

[Completed] ODIN failing to downgrade firmware

So, i have been trying my luck to downgrade my firmware on Note 5 (N20G - India) since 6 hours and must have hit the 'start' button on ODIN close to 50 times already but it's failing each time. Basically, i want to downgrade to get a better battery life on my device. Currently i'm on Marshmallow with firmware version N920GUBU3BPI5 (INS). The firmware i want my device to be downgraded is N920GDDU2AOJ5.tar (Lime pie). Few things i would like to share:
- My device is not rooted
- Running on stock firmware with stock recovery
- System status is Official
- FRP lock is OFF and USB Debugging is ON
- I tried changing the laptop as well as the port and i know the cable is not faulty as it is connecting in the 'Media' mode and charging the device perfectly
- I also tried flashing other ROMs belonging to the same country but i'm still getting the same error
Here's the log on my ODIN (3.10.7)
