The problem is that you cant downgrade the bootloader. Thats why it failes at hidden.img. With Odin you only can flash a COH2 firmware. Older ones will definitly fail.
Why do you want to have a BOG8 rom instead of COH2?

My first firmware was G920FXXU1AODE. Then one OTA update reached automatically and I was unable to use 3G from now on. When I first bougt this phone I was able to use 3G. Now I am searching firmware that can give back the 3G function in my phone. I hope that G920FXXU2BOG8 can give me back the 3G. But now I am stuck with the blue screen saying error and need smartswitch but smartswitch does not recognise my device. What to do now? Need to wait for COH2?

When you got the OTA for COH2 then there should be an Odin flashable firmware available on Sammobile.

so you are still able to get into download mode? also give us a picture of what ODIN says, you should try to connect it to kies which would install stock rom itself for you, ODIN is basically already inside kies and we ripped it from it.

Yes, I can still acces the dowload mode. Odin fails at the end of flashing after writing the modem the box at the top turns red and FAIL appear. The phone remains in download mode, and when I try to start it shows this message “Firmware Upgrade Encountered an Issue”

@AlexTavi86 @deepfreez86 do you both remember the last Offical version of samsung firmware you had? (Android version) and the custom rom android version you had before? i need to know them both. also what version of windows? windows 8 might be the problem if thats whats up.

i meant the android version like :Kit kat 4.4. or 4.4.2/4.4.3/4.4.4, but i did try to search up G900FXX1ANG8 on sammobile and i didn't see any firmware with that name, i think you might be flashing the wrong firmware. can you pop the battery and tell me what the model number there?

Curious, what is your phone's country of origin (and service provider).
This can help identify the correct firmware.

Hi there, you should download smart switch and use emergency firmware recovery, From there you should click 'more' then click emergency software recovery. Key in your device SM-G920W8 then input your serial number (Found on your device Box) then voila, it should download the latest firmware for you.

well, pointing him in a more accurate direction would be much better i guess, no harm intended!
I had a similar issue the solution for me was to install twrp 2.8.7.1 recovery using Odin as my phone lacked stock recovery and would not flash firmware as a consequence.
Sent from my SM-G920W8 using XDA Free mobile app
Nothing has worked yet do i need a pit file?

maybe you should consider bringing your device to Samsung?
I have the exact same problem right now. SM-G920F, tried to root, epic fail, tried to unroot, still a disaster. Smart Switch won't recognize my phone. Trying to download the latest firmware now, but it takes so long.. -_- will keep you posted if I find anything that works!

Supposedly you can't flash that 5.0.2 firmware is because your bootloader is already 5.1.1, therefore you can't downgrade the software, but i saw on Sammobile that Canada is going to get the update soon, so i guess you can use Smart Switch's emergency recovery to restore your phone soon.
So when you started what baseband were you on? Did you update to 5.1.1 I don't care if you did it via a ROM just did you update to 5.1.1 officially or did your phone come with 5.1.1 if it did you need to download the 5.1.1 firmware not the 5.0.2 firmware because of the new bootloader.
Edit: You could always use my guide which can be found here to make your own tar file that doesn't flash any bootloader only system, kernel, and recovery you will also get the latest Note 5 UI this may help you in case everything else fails.

Deleted my OS

Hi
When unrooting my phone I accidentally deleted the OS from my Samsung S6.
My model is SM-G920F
The phone was bought directly from Samsung via Amazon and is unlocked. I live in the UK and my sim is registered to Virgin.
Currently I can put the phone in Downloading (Odin mode) and TWRP.
I have attempted to Flash the firmware with Odin but I get the following fail message each time.

I have updated my drivers and attempted to use a different port on my PC.
I am using Odin v3.12
I have attempted to use Smart Switch but I get the error message
"SM-G920F does not support initialising. Please contact our service centre."
Samsung service centre did not know what to do with the phone.
I would appreciate any advice. I've accepted my phone data is gone.

I have updated my drivers and attempted to use a different port on my PC.
I am using Odin v3.12
I have attempted to use Smart Switch but I get the error message
"SM-G920F does not support initialising. Please contact our service centre."
Samsung service centre did not know what to do with the phone.
I would appreciate any advice. I've accepted my phone data is gone.

Where would I get access to roms to Flash in twrp?
Are they the same as .tar or .md5 files?

I've flashed with Odin in the past. Not with TWRP.
But yeah, I'm honestly a noob in way over my head.
I've had a new error on Odin attempting to flash.

if u can accses twrp just flash a rom and it should be good
First of all. What Samsung Firmware are you flashing, are you trying to downgrade to a older firmware version than what is already on there?
Try the latest samsung firmware and make sure it's suited for the model of your device.
Try another usb port and another microUSB cable. It is common for bad microUSB cables to make ODIN flash fail.

Help flashing stock ODIN file

Hi there,
I have a G930W8 (Canadian S7) that I am trying to flash a stock 7.0 ODIN file to, I have used ODIN several times without issue... but this time it doesn't seem to be working.
I downloaded the latest 7.0 from Sammobile, and put the respective files (BL/AP/CP/CSC) in their boxes, but everytime I try I get a FAIL message, and it seems to be only the BL that's causing it:
<ID:0/006> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..

My device reads SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 2
The other files seem to work but when I reboot without flashing the BL I keep getting force closes.... I tried downloading the latest file twice to make sure it's not corrupted but it keeps happening, any ideas what it might be?
You're not trying to downgrade are you? I'm not 100% if it carried over into Oreo, but the last bootloader in 7.0 locked it from downgrading.

No I am not; but it appears I wasn't using the latest available version of 7.0, tried downloading from another source and it worked now, thanks.
