Hi.
Well I have a U.S. Cellular SCH-R530 I received from a friend. He already upgraded to 4.3 OTA and I figured I would try to root the phone so I could install custom roms. I downloaded Odin and downloaded cwm 6.0.4.5. I put the phone in download mode and tried flashing cwm.. Well Odin failed, I cannot boot back into the Android OS and I have the screen with the message: "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, etc.". I pulled the battery and put the phone in download mode and I have try flashing cwm again, flashing USCC stock rom and I still get a fail in Odin 3.07 & 3.09. I did use PDA or AP in Odin when I tried to flash both the cwm and the stock 4.3 rom. At this point, I'm trying to figure out how to get the s3 working again.
Nevermind fixed my issue. Please delete thread.

I flashed the leaked 4.4.2 from samobile and all went well. I then tried to flash (with odin 3.09) the latest TWRP to afterwards flash the latest Echoe ROM and during that flashing I inadvertently disconnected my phone. It now comes up with the 'Firmware update failed, please restore with KIES' message and
'write protection enabled'. Trying to flash *any* other ROM fails with 'write failed'. Is there a way to get my phone working again, and if yes, how?
Thanks in advance

Hello everyone, I need some help here.
I downloaded the latest from sammobile
G900PVPU3CPG1_G900PSPT3CPG1_G900PVPU3CPG1_HOME.tar .md5
and ODIN v3.12.3
I placed the tar file in the AP slot, installed everything, I receive the final okay and the phone reboots to the stock samsung boot animation, and just sits.
Does anyone have any idea why I can't seem to get past the boot animation?
I can pull the battery and install TWRP, and boot to recover fine, but no matter how long the device will NOT get past the boot animation.
Is it possible that I have a bad download? Can I "downgrade" to PE2, without risk of bricking the device somehow?
thanks
Before clicking Start on odin, did you uncheck everything else (autoreboot, f-reset time, re-partition)? I followed all the steps here for that same firmware. It worked for me on first try. Also, did you download the appropriate version for your phone? From what I can see there are 4 versions on sammobile, VMU, SPR, XAS, and BST. I have a Virgin mobile phone, so i got the one with product code VMU.
welp I went back to old tried and true V3.09 and used PE2, and then let it boot after a LONG TIME. Then I upgraded to PG1 using the update feature in "about device".
Not sure why I could not use the latest PG1 tar file, direct from sammobile.
Curious though, has anyone been able to "downgrade back to lollipop, just in case? Or has Samsung locked it down.
I tried to go back to OA6, and also OK4 and I got a fail (red) in ODIN using both sammobile stock files.

You may have to boot into recovery and factory reset once ODIN has successfully flashed. Should boot after that.

Hey guys I need some help please. I am a bit of a noob and was trying to flash the PartCyborgRom using the BootLoopEdition firmware onto my originally G955U (which I had flashed with the G955U1 FW a while ago). And after I flashed the PartCyborgRom AP file through Odin, nothing happened as in the instructions, so I tried resetting the phone and continued to next step (not a good idea on my part) then I loaded the BL file and midway through that Odin gave me a "FAIL!" and the phone is stuck on Download Mode with the following error "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [system]Fused 2 > Binary 1".
I tried going back to stock and flashing all of the stock fw through Odin, but anytime I try to flash anything I get that same error. If I try to reboot the phone normally it tries to upgrade system but looks like nothing is on the phone anymore and is on bootloop. I am not sure what to do, did I **** up really bad and brick my phone?
I can't even get back into Recovery mode! It simply goes on a boot loop where it doesn't find anything in the system.
PS. when I tried to flash the PartCyborgRom my S8+ was on the latest G955U1 fw.

You are trying to flash old firmware. It sounds like you are already on firmware with the v2 bootloader and you're trying to flash firmware with rhe v1 bootloader. You need a stock firmware that has a 2 before the last four digits of the firmware name.
Firmware
It should be all well and good flashing stock firmware with the number 2, but I can't find any on XDA and any links outside either fail or try to make you pay because it's over 2GB... If anyone has a copy and space on their google drive, I'd be very grateful for a valid download link!

Hey guys! I have a problem. I have flashed on my Galaxy S7 (Exynos version) the galaxy Note Fan Edition Port rom a couple of weeks ago, but now I flashed the latest stock firmware from Sammobile via odin and it always fails at the bootloader. I don't know why? I searched for many hours for a solution, but nothing works.... I hope somebody could help me
Here is the link for the note fan edition rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7...-galaxy-note-fan-edition-port-vol1-0-t3633626
OEM unlock on?
Could also be that the latest bootloader prevents rolling back, so if you're trying to go from a newer bootloader to an older one it won't let you. You can probably just exclude the BL file and be fine.
Is that Fan Edition ROM you flashed not a S7 Edge rom made to work on the S7..! Maybe your phone shows up as a G935 now?

Hi! Same error but different situation.
I was on the latest firmware 8.0 ITV, I wanted to downgrade to nougat, so I downloaded the first 7.0 firmware BTU (the one that was the best for my S7).
I opened all the firmware files on odin 3.13.1 and I started the procedure but at a certain point everything stopped, on odin the message "failed" appeared and on the phone the message "sw rev check fail (bootloader) device 2 binary 1".
I tried with a different version of odin but the message remains the same, I also tried without flashing the BL file but nothing ... In the end I had to flash again the latest firmware oreo ITV and no errors appeared, but I find myself at the starting point
specific that my S7 has never had modding operations, the knox counter is perfectly at 0x0, I have always used only original firmware and never had problems with odin.
How can I downgrade without having in that error?
Hi just flash this version of latest nougat G930FXXS2DRDI, this is binary 2 firmware (XEO)
I flashed twrp and booted into stock system and started getting a message saying "only officially released binaries are allowed to be flashed".
I cannot boot into system and whenever I try to flash back to stock 'CRAP' firmware I get a message saying Secure Check Fail : (CM)
PLEASE HELP!
I am new and read that you cannot flash backwards. I was on CRD7 or some crap and tried flashing back to CRAP. Once I downloaded a CRD7 rom and flashed it using Odin 3.13 my problem was solved, but now I have to wait another 7 days to try flashing twrp again so I can get root back. I don't understand why I didn't have this 'only official binaries' and RMM state problem the first time I flashed twrp and was able to root without problems but that was on the CRAP firmware maybe that's why...
