[Q] So i F***** up

Oke....sit down for the next one:
I hava a Note 10.1 N8010.
All was fine...but i wanted back to stock...so downloaded firmware and went into Odin.
Everything seemed fine but i got some errors (dont remember wich...sorry)...but eventually the note was flashed...had to put in the PIT file too if i remember correctly or it didnt flash. But now:
As i said...it is a N8010....in phone info under settings it says i have a N8013.....and if i go into download mode it says i have a N8000....???????????
I cannot flash the stock fitmware for N8010.....when flashing in Odin it stucks at writing NAND flash....thats all.
What went wrong....and how to correct ???? The tablet works fine...but i want to sell it....stock.
Any ideas ????

Galaxy S6 920F bricked?

Hi,
I think i soft-bricked my phone by flashing modem and bootloader in my S6 International 920F phone.
Downloaded 5.1.1 modem and bootloader from this topic and followed the instructions exactly:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-xtrestolite-pure-edition-1-0-beta-1-t3082467
ODIN gave no sign of a failure so after flashing the phone rebooted and now it won't further than the Galaxy S6 bootscreen.
In the top of the screen a message says: "SYSTEM REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2 BINARY: 1"
I've searched already for a solution but i can't find a specific.
Anyone who can help me please?

how did you do it? cz i had the same problem

Reflash your S6 with standard 5.1.1 ROM via odin.

I did a restore via Kies3, wasn't expecting much but did the trick.

Thats good.

Soft bricked SPH-G925P

Sprint s6 edge it was boot looping only staying in Android for maybe 3-5 mins at a time. So i tried to flash it. I may have flashed 5.0.x to it. Now when I try to flash I can flash cm.bin, sboot and it always dies on boot.img. I really need some guidance on what i should try next.
Looking around shows boot.img not flashing is possibly the kernel but I am having trouble finding one that it will let me flash.

Were you originally on 5.1.1?
If so, are you having a hard time Odin-ing the stock rom?

Since you were on 5.1.1 I don't think you would have any trouble Odining the stock ROM onto the phone. I've done it a few times and it worked OK. After you push the stock ROM you can root it if you want to.

Well the problem is it won't flash past boot.img
As soon as boot.img is started it goes a green bar on Oden about 3/4 of the way and then goes FAILED! and oden disconnects the device.

If you went from 5.1.1 to 5.0.X it's most likely hard bricked.

Yea.... You have to stay within the same android version, ex. Any of the 5.1.1 updates. The firmware version that you're trying to restore with, is it OF7?

It should say it on the tar file. It's worth a try but you're probably dead. Here is the file if you need it but like I said, most likely you're done.

It worked for me. I have a friend who did the same thing and thought the phone was a gonner. I told her I'd give it a try and I was able to Odin (v.3.10.6) to OF7, took the OTA to OH1 and flashed Wicked One SS v.3.0 from @dazednconfused and she says it's running perfect.
Also, @Soooperstar Odin file here.

the latest one. I've seen various other flashing posts saying you should use a slightly older Oden.
Also side rant. I did a chat with samsung support and they said the Smart Switch recovery doesn't work with the S6? I cannot get it to verify the serial number of my phone (s6) and the broken one (s6 e)

I'm not sure which version you are referring to as the latest one, but the only version that will work with what you're trying to accomplish is 3.10.6

Like I said from my knowledge, you should be hard bricked, but if someone else went from 5.1.1 to 5.0.X and back, you might want to find out what they did. Don't think it's possible

do i need to go into supersu and go down to full unroot?

I would think just flashing the OEM firmware with Odin3 would reset phone back to factory would do the trick.

just reread your post and you did use Odin but was that the regular version or did you try the modified "prince consey" ( probably spelled that wrong)?

Are u sure you're flashing the correct firmware for your phone?
Go to sammobile and download a fresh firmware for your phone type and try flashing again.
And by the way did they (oneclickroot) or yourself flash any other firmware whether custom or not in the phone after rooting?
Or have you or them updated the bootloader and modem?

nope just asked and they say no bootloader updated, but i have the option of 19.99 for them to go back to stock smh.. now when looking for a working ATT stock firm do i look for my current baseband version?

So what happened?

I'm sure your bootloader got updated. Have to find firmware with same bootloader. Something that has u2...

Lost IMEI after flashing ROM, can't get it restored

Well... I've been an idiot.
I recently rooted my Galaxy S7 device whilest scanning the xda threads for a custom ROM.
I flashed Lineage OS 15.1 custom ROM. Everything awesome so far. Except... I didn't like the visual estate of the ROM.
So next step, I flashed the Superman ROM 3.0.1 FINAL. this is where things went wrong.
When i booted up my phone after flashing Superman ROM I lost my IMEI & baseband (both say "Unknown").
I tried to flash stock ROM and ended up with 2 "unknown" IMEI's whilest my phone is a single SIM device.
After that I wiped the lot, flashed Lineage again and still no luck. Although with lineage I have my single IMEI which is still "Unknown".
I've tried flashing stock the correct stock roms but whenever I try to flash the via Odin I get a fail after "sboot.bin".
Odin won't go any further.
So in short, I currently have my device unlocked, rooted, with lineage OS15.1 but no cell service due to
IMEI and baseband being "Unknown".
Any idea's how to fix this?
I've tried the guide with the title "[GUIDE] How to fix IMEI / DRK issues [ALL MODELS][COMBINATION UPDATE 03 NOV 2017]"
But no luck. I can't flash stock firmware due to fail after "sboot.bin" both with stock firmware and the combination file
given in the thread.
Now as part of me being an idiot, I have not made an EFS or baseband backup, nor have I got a Smart Switch backup.
I'm also not capable of finding a person with the Z3Xbox.
Kind regards!

Did you try this https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/guide-how-to-fix-efs-damaged-samsung-t3850032

Thanks for the reply! Yes,I've tried that guide too. Problem is that I can't flash anything but twrp through Odin. All the rest fails at "sboot.bin". I'm still trying to download latest stock firmware but all the sites are sooooo slow if you don't pay premium... So I'm still waiting for that file to download. I've tried to flash older stock firmware but didn't get past " sboot.bin" and I've read somewhere that since Oreo Samsung doesn't let you flash old firmware on the phone. So that is at the moment my only hope that I can think of.

I've used different versions of Odin (v3.12, v3.13, v3.11) and I can only download at 50kb/s with updato. They changed there policy. Donate for premium download speed.
I also went to a repair shop today to ask if they knew any solution. The repair guy I talked to didn't know what root or rooting was so that's a dead end...

Oh ok I am kinda running out of ideas I didn't know updato changed their policy....there is a thread on the forum with the stock roms that people shared you might get better speeds using that...also one last thing you can do is use smart switch there is an option for firmware recovery or something like that try that and see

Thanks for helping though! Every helping hand is welcome! Smart switch recognizes my phone but if I select to recover firmware it doesn't recognize my phone because of the lost IMEI. So downloading to recovering stock firmware from samsung is difficult!

Jep, exact version that I used. I have a Samsung galaxy S7 unbrandend from Belgium. (SM-G930F)

Just read through your post again the superman rom is using the new bootloader 3 and as far as I know you can't downgrade to a bootloader 2 do you get a binary error in odin when you flash? Just trying to figure out what is going on when it stops at sbin
This is the latest rom for your country I know is branded as you can see but is the new bootloader 3 ...G930FXXS3ERI1 - GALAXY S7 SM-G930F PRO BELGIUM (PROXIMUS)
Found it on Sam mobile did you flash that one?

That's what I was thinking. I've read the exact same thing yesterday. So I started downloading the firmware you just mentioned and the PHN Netherlands one. If one fails I've got another to try. Problem is, with those magnificent download speeds, it takes 24hours to download one of them (yeeeey 50kb/s!!!!!) It should be on my hard drive by tomorrow.
I'll keep you posted if this gets me past the Odin troubles!
I really appreciate you thinking along with me good sir! Thanks for your suggestions!

I did exactly the same mistake as you (Lineage, Superman ROMS) and even bricked it trying to fix it!
The reason for that error code in my experience was that I was attempting to put the original firmware on the phone. Thanks to XDA forums and about a week of reading I realised that I had the Oreo ROM on the phone before all this happened, so I did what the poster above recommends and used the latest Odin and the latest firmware for your country from Sammobile. Bam! My S7 is running better than ever!

You guy's are all amazing! Thank you so much!
Today I had the chance to flash original firmware to my phone. Flashed latest stock firmware from Holland (because Belgium firmware was branded and my S7 was unbranded).
Rebooted the phone, filled in the start menu's went in to settings and BAM, lost IMEI was lost no more!
Inserted my SIM card and had 4G connection! I didn't even had to flash the COMBINATION file.
I learned from my mistakes and immediatly flashed TWRP and made an EFS en IMEI backup!
Again, thank you so much good sirs! You guys really helped me not to lose hope!

Glad you fixed your phone hopefully this will help other people
