HI,
I'm from Slovenia so I'm sorry if there are mistakes in writting.
My friend just bought Samsung Galaxy Mega LTE GT-I9205 and the phone doesn't start because the phone was rooted or I don't know what they have been doing with it and when they were trying to install new android on it there was a problem or they disconected the phone to fast.
When he got the phone and he started it there was written(Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode recovery mode in Kies & try again.).
My friend doesn't know about this problems and he doesn't know how to root the phone or install ROM with Odin so he gave the phone to me that I fix it. And I tried to conect the phone to Kies as it says on the phone and I tried to recover the phone and program asked me for the recovery code which I don't have because the phone wasn't conected to my computer when this happened. So I contacted the previous user and he said that the phone wasn't conected to his computer either and he doesn't have the recovery code.
So then I downloaded all four firmwares for Slovenia from SAMMOBILE site and tried to install it with Odin. When I installed firmwares which are android 4.2.2 version the phone started and showed the SAMSUNG GALAXY MEGA logo and on the top written recovery booting and immediately showed the error on which was written:
Image size too large!! W:1080, H:1920(with red)
display image fail(with yellow)
SECURE FAIL: KERNEL(with red)
When I installed the latest firmware with andorid 4.4.2 the phone turns on and shows SAMSUNG GALAXY MEGA logo and on the top is written RECOVERY BOOTING with blue and it stays there.
I CAN'T GO INTO RECOVERY MODE(Volume UP + Home + Power)
When I go into download(Volume Down + Home + Power) there is written:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9205
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
SO WHAT TO DO? IS THERE ANY POSSIBLE WAY TO FIX THIS PHONE? I know that there is no warranty anymore

I dont know if this is the good section but...
I need to unreeot my galaxy S3 neo (1 sim card version)
I used this method to root it: androidxda.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s3-neo-gt-i9301i
It works great and simple, but now i want to unroot it.
I entered superSU that got installed on my phone after rooting, go to settings and clicked full unroot. I restarted my phone, however, root was gone, checked it with root checker from play store BUT when i try to update the device it said something like "the device has been modified....no updates available"
Than i turned off my S3 neo and hold volume down+home+power and d than volume up on yelow triangle screen and it said this:
Odin mode
Product name: GT-I9300I
Curent binary: custom
Curent status: custom
Qualcom secure boot: enable (csb)
Ap swrev: s1, t1, r1, a1, p1
Udc start
And below that is android robot logo and under him said:

What, odin mode..i thought superSU did the job...how can i untoot my phone as it was when i bought it? 100% clean..oh and can i root it again with same method and recover backed up stock apps..i forgot?

Hi,
Full unroot doesn't mean that your device is back to official firmware again. Root again, download and install Xposed, download Wanam Xposed and activate it via Modules, reboot, find option and tick Fake System Status and reboot again.
Or simply reflash stock firmware using ODIN.

If you modified the system then unrooting will not help....
Download your firmware from Sammobile and flash it with Odin!
Dear XDA Community,
I think my phone is soft-bricked (again). When powering on the device I see the Galaxy S6 logo and then straight after it shuts off (not a boot loop).
Goal: Fix phone via Odin without tripping Samsung KNOX or voiding warranty in any way
[Before] My phone came with Lollipop 5.0.2. I rooted it with Ping-Pong-Root.
[Current] Stock Lollipop 5.1.1
Everything has been perfect until yesterday. A friend of mine enabled KNOX Security and pressed reboot when prompted. The phone was stuck in a boot loop which was fixed by a factory reset via android recovery mode.
Once I had done the factory reset and everything was working, I decided to update my device to the latest firmware Lollipop 5.1.1. I enabled debugging mode. Yesterday I was trying to figure out if I could somehow back up data with adb when it was soft-bricked but the device was not recognized with the abd tool only Odin.
Today I noticed the phone was rebooting randomly. I read a post that said to try "wipe cache partition" which in hindsight I should have just done. Yesterday the option to "apply update from ADB" kept saying "Update from ADB is disabled". Me being inquisitive, I tried the option "apply update from ADB" (with no usb attached) thinking that if it worked this time, I could just cancel it by powering off the device. I was WRONG! This is what led to my current issue.
I have tried wipe data/factory reset like I did yesterday to fix the boot loop to no avail.
Current Status:
ODIN MODE
Product name: SM-G920F
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Reactivation Lock: OFF
Secure Download: ENABLED
KNOX warranty void 0 (0x0000)
RP SWREV: B:2 K:2 S:2
In the android recovery menu it says at the bottom: " dm-verification failed... "
I have researched into flashing stock firmware. I have already tried Smart Switch with no luck. Once entering in the correct Model name and S / N number I get the error message: “Unable to find the serial number, model name, or IMEI on the server. Please check and try again.”
I have two other options:
Flashing stock firmware via Odin
Taking it back to my local store and sending it in for repairs
My main concern is hard-bricking the device and voiding the warranty.
I have read that flashing stock firmware through Odin will not void the warranty, can anyone please confirm this? I need to be 100% sure.
If I were to flash via Odin, the next obstacle I face is choosing the correct firmware.
I have some screenshots of my “About Device” page from when I was still on 5.0.2.
On the screenshot, it has Baseband version: G920IDVU1AOD1 .
There is a version with: G920IDVU2DOI2 . I assume I should get that one.
My current rom has the official Spark boot loader image, if I were to flash any of those roms, would I lose it?
Can Samsung see a firmware flash counter?
Medium case scenario:
Assuming that flashing via Odin does not trip KNOX, I flash one of the roms and it does not work. Will Samsung refuse to fix the phone if there was a firmware flash count of eg 2?
Worst case scenario:
The flash is successful but hard-bricks the device. KNOX also may be tripped.
Thank you in advance for your support!

The Knox counter is not triggered when we flash a stock firmware through Odin, therefore the warranty will not be void.

Glad to hear that your problem is solved !
So I rooted my phone a few months ago using SU, and i was trying to install rootcloak yesterday which required xposedinstaller. After installing it I tried to update it (v82 i think). After a few seconds my phone shut off and all i could see was the blue light. When I tried to open it it just showed me the Samsung galaxy s6 logo, now it only shows the Samsung one. The only menu that opens is the download custom os one. If i press down to restart it just shows me the samsung logo again. If i press up it shows "Downloading".

Can i do anything without a PC? I only have access to my library's PCs which don't allow me to install programs and my sister's Macbook Pro 2011. The Mac's charger is broken so i have to wait a few days for the new one to come so i can use it.
I've been trying to root my A3 as I want to be able to enable adoptable storage. I've been bitten by the various protection methods and now the phone won't boot as I get a green screen with a white triangle and the text:
An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.
I'm trying to use Odin to flash the standard image but I don't appear to have found the right one as Odin fails after a few seconds and the following is shown on the phone download screen:

Can someone tell me where to find the standard ROM or how I can fix the phone in it's current state.
Thanks,
Steve.

Hello,
i got S8+ (SM-G955F), it had android 7. i tried to flash an android 9 firmware, i was unware and i flashed a random csc firmware (AP only). i dont know whats my phone csc , but in download mode i got (carrier_id=bri).
after flash ,the phone shows samsung logo and keeps restarting (+vibrate) in endless loop, the only thing i can access is download mode. ofc i panicked and tried to flash BL too, and i realized that i flashed binary 12 bootloader , which means i cant go back to android 7 even if i find original flash file for s8+ .
i tried different firmwares from different CsC , i tried : Xeu , PHE, BRI,MAT.
nothing works. i need help , i hope its not hardware .
GUYS ANYONE HAS THIS ISSUE AND SOLVED IT PLEASE HELP ME OUT ,ALL YOUR REPLIES ARE MUCH APPRECIATED.

Sorry, this model displays firmware in recovery mode.

i cant get in recovery mode , so i guess im stuck for good.
I have soft bricked my phone, I wasn’t sure if my boot loader was unlocked and I used adb fast boot to go to twrp and flashed a custom rom, and twrp recovery, since then, no firmware info is displayed on the download screen, and everything I do to restart the phone, it just goes back to the download screen and stays there, please someone help me, I’ve been staying up nights to fix this but I keep flashing different csc firmware but none of them are getting flushed through Odin. I’ll be forever indebted to you, it’s my sister’s phone and I can’t help but feel guilty and the mental stress is too much. Please someone reach out to me
