I was trying just to have latest version available. But now I want to know what's the issue in case I'll need it in the future.

Your stock rom already has the latest bootloader for your model/region/carrier. If you use one that is not meant for your model, you could possibly mess up the partitions.
There seem to be minor differences as we have encountered with how TWRP isn't compatible with all the variants!

You're using the Odin released by Chainfire, correct? The one that was in his autoroot folder.
Try this one: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934553246
Also... You could restore Odin to full functionality by in modifying the .ini file that Chainfire modified.

Hi, I see some of the new custom roms available now, say that you are required to flash the latest bootloader and modem.
I have a UK G920F (BTU) and I have flashed firmware before using Odin but never flashed a bootloader or modem.
My question is do I really need to and if so do I just flash them one at a time placing them in the AP option in Odin, Thanks

[Q] Rooting Galaxy Tab 10.1 Gone Wrong

I have followed many tutorials to the T and I have flashed with philz_touch_6.55.0-p5110 and GT-P5110_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0 to absouetely no avail whatsoever.
My counter is up to 15 and when I go into the recovery mode I get the default. I cannot for the life of me get the tablet to launch the recovery screens.
I have been at this for 4hours. I cant even update the device as it says the device altered. It also show custom , yet I CANNOT load the recovery other than the default.
What am I missing?

Flash recovery in Odin again but this time with auto reboot UNCHECKED. After it flashes, wait 10 seconds, unplug tablet, and boot into recovery (hold in combo until you see recovery screen. It will exit download mode.) Wipe cache and Dalvik and reboot. I'd recommend flashing @Android-Andi's TWRP for a good touch based recovery.

TWRP is another recovery. @Android-Andi has a recovery thread in the development section. If you go to his download page, there is a .zip and a .tar file. The .tar is for Odin and the .zip is if you want to flash it in your current recovery. You just choose one file and flash it accordingly.

Because ServiceFirmware updates offer the latest stability enchancements, security buf fixes etc, right? By the way, the zip contains 4 files, could you pls explain what each file initials stand for?
Thanks!

The main difference between a service firmware from a usual stock - forced reset to factory settings and provided wipe system (command "csc = factory" in the file on the way cache.img/recovery/command; for regular firmware it looks like "csc = home"). CSC file contains PIT-file to force the file system layout verification.
Caution! Service firmware produces wipe user data:
- removes section USERDATA and recreate it with the factory settings;
- removes SD-CARD partition and recreate it with the factory settings (format Internal sd-card).
It makes:
- the system state official: in Downloading mode Current Binary: Official and System Status: Official;
@repey6, I read the complete thread, but I'm still not clear on which of these files I should flash. Do I only flash AP_T530XXU1BOD8_CL4741109_QB4756762_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5, or all 3? And if all 3, in which order? (Asking here, since I don't want spam sub77's ROM thread)

Cuz I did that, and it seems to only flash the stock ROM. Anyway, the result is the same - it keeps stuck at the bootlogo and, after a while, becomes responsive to touch, but with no screen updates...

Le proof (Click for image).
It says I've got firmware/bootloader (I don't think there's a way to tell which version of the BL you have) version T530XXU1BOD8, so that seems to be the same as the Lollipop stock ROM (T530XXU1BOD8_T530OXA1BOD8_HOME.tar.md5).
It still won't boot into anything resembling an OS, but I'm gonna go through the whole TWRP and CM installation again. Who knows, maybe it'll do the trick.
I'm afraid this is a different problem tho, like it's not loading the correct display drivers or something...

Yup, heard the startup tune, Kies recognized my device again:
(And I let it update the firmware to the latest official whatever)
But it still will not show anything else than the bootlogo as I'm writing this (+10 minutes). I'll keep it plugged in for the rest of the afternoon, maybe something will happen. If not, I'll try again in a few months, maybe it's just some weird bug with the device, idk.
Anyway, thank you for your assistance @repey6!

Galaxy S6 ( SM-G920F) 5.1.1: Softbricked After Flashing Kernel

[Q] Soft brick S6 ( SM-G920F) 5.1.1.
Tried to flash it with S6_UniKernel_v8-0002-ODIN, cf-autoroot, and it did only say pass and the phone started to reboot but it didnt get pass the logo part. So I tried to go back to stock firmware, and it only got fail so I tried with 5.0.2 instead and that didnt work either. Both case gave me this kind of error.
The firmware was from sammobile.
I didnt saw OEM in "Developer options" hope that I didnt miss it, but some post did say some phone have bootloader unlocked at start, so it should be noproblem to flash the phone. But it didnt work out for me so well.

Install Smart Switch (Kies for newer models) on a computer, and use the option Emergency software recovery and initialization.
cf-autoroot is outdated, and you can't downgrade to 5.0.2 after you've had 5.1.1
Try to flash the kernel again and see if it boots. Otherwise do what the previous post says.
Also, flashing unikernel would have rooted it with no other steps needed.

I tried to connect phone with Kies, nothing happend, just "connecting.." what can I do?
Tried flashing kernel alot of times, same problem .
Just re-read his post, one small problem, the box i have is a bit damage and i can't find the S/N , is there any chance I can get the S/N , I have the ART code and some numbers under a bar but wasn't the S/N with numbers and chars?
Thanks for the help
Can't find the S/N on my box due to damage , is there other way? Do they still have the S/N inprinted under the battery? And when I'am in Odin "Binary : Custom , System : Official , Knox : 1" So it did someone "half-rooted" it or something but I have tried to reflash unikernel v8 still the same problem, is there any way to fix it without going back to the latest stable firmware with the S/N in Kies?
first you should flash TWRP recovery in Odin from here https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/
for Odin you need the file with .tar at the end.
Then you can try Adam Kernel by Wanam from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/orig-development/kernel-adam-kernel-t3093569
and you can try Wanam Rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/development/mod-wanamlite-1-0-t3095155
in this is the Kernel included.
I use his ROM my self without any problems.

Galaxy S6 - New firmware update crashed, emergency recovery not working

Hi everyone,
I've been trying the whole afternoon to fix my cellphone with my limited knowledge on Android. My cellphone tried to update his firmware yesterday but it showed an error

Than I plugged my cellphone with SmartSwitch but it bricked the cellphone and suggested to use the Emergency Recovery, which didn't work (stop at 83% and show an error message). I downloaded the ROM to be installed with Odin (G920W8VLU5DQI2_G920W8OYA5DQI2_G920W8VLU5DQI2_HOME.tar.md5) but still not working.
Then I tried to install a previous ROM but I keep getting fail on Odin:

I was able to reach once the boot recovery menu on the phone but by trying to reinstall the ROM, I came back to the start point. Since, I no more reached that menu again.
That galaxy S6 was provided by Koodo here in Canada.
Can someone help me to go through this process please.
Thanks so so much for your support

I downloaded the ROM to be installed with Odin (G920W8VLU5DQI2_G920W8OYA5DQI2_G920W8VLU5DQI2_HOME.tar.md5) but still not working.
Then I tried to install a previous ROM but I keep getting fail on Odin:
<ID:0/005> Added!!

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..

On phone:
Odin mode
PRODUCT NAME: SM-6920W8
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
Secure Download: Enabled
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0X0500)
APSWREV: B:4 K:2 S:2
SECURE CHECK FAIL: (PIT)
I was able to reach once the boot recovery menu on the phone but by trying to reinstall the ROM, I came back to the start point. Since, I no more reached that menu again.
That galaxy S6 was provided by Koodo here in Canada.
Can someone help me to go through this process please.
Thanks so so much for your support

Actually I downloaded the original PIT file of my cellphone and went around the security and it worked.!!

SOLVED - Bricked/stuck on Smart Switch error screen

Samsung S7 (unlocked) (UK) SM-G930F
Hi
I don't know really where to start but I can tell you where I've ended up.
I tried to install Resurrection and after I went through it all it has just ended up with Odin failing.
I then thought I would try to reinstall the stock from Sam's mobile and following that I'm ending up with still a fail and also smart switch software message remaining on the screen.
These are the files from Sam's mobile

The firmware you are trying to flash is older then what is already on the device. You need the correct version 8 firmware to flash with Odin.

The firmware you've posted is an old unbranded France yes?
This is the latest version of that firmware https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s7/firmware/SM-G930F/XEF/download/G930FXXS8ETC2/327936
If you know how to use Samfirm tool you can download it faster. The firmware code is XEF.

No, it was a UK firmware for the Three Network (H3G)

Thanks, I'm not familiar with it, I'll check it out. I paid for a 30 day subscription so the download speed was ok.

Hey I posted the message before I saw you'd already found the right firmware so shouldn't have to do anything else now. Unbranded UK has the code BTU.
The S7 is getting on abit now so I don't think there will be any further release from veriosn 8.

I think I'll grab the unbranded firmware as this one has Virgin crap all over it....(that didn't sound right at all HA HA) :laugh:
Nice one for the heads up on Samfirm, the speeds are just as quick as the paid subscription on Sam's mobile.
cheers
