im in need of a firmware file that i can flash through stock recovery or a md5 file to flash in odin. what happened was i flashed the wrong modem in safestrap and got a unauthorized software error and wouldnt start into the system. so after hours of headache i tried just wiped my stock clean under safestrap. doing that made me lose safestrap so i only have download mode and stock recovery. i tried flashing the NC1 and MF1 md5 and it failed. so did the pit flash. on my box it says the version is i535.NF1. so maybe it wont flash correctly cause i have the wrong firmware. Verizon upgrade utility fails to repair it also. so could someone upload the NF1 md5 or flashable zip to help me out? i wasnt having any support at ALL on the android forums site. so im hoping it will be more supportive here.

There is no nf1 firmware.
Mf1/ml1/nc1/ne1
I'm guessing you need ne1, but post what the text says in download mode so we can be sure we give you the correct firmware to flash.
thanks for such a haste reply. according to the site that i uploaded as an image, there is a NF1 firmware for the S3. i need the one that says all_something something NF1. it has the like redo of everything lol. or so i have read. the GS3 i had before this one, same exact model it read ND3 which is also listed on there. but thats not the case now. i need the NF1. it says thats the software version on the side of the box it came in. oh and unfortunately my cameras to crappy to get a good focus in on the download mode screen shot but if it helps this is exactly what download/odin mode says...
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I535PP
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM

then down below that is

Do not turn off target!!
and thats it. nothing else. its funny how it says custom still yet it has no OS/rom on it right now lol. i wiped it with safestrap which i lost after wiping :\ thats why im desperate for the firmware....again i appreciate the hastey help lol.

As stated in the previous response there is no NF1 firmware. The website your pulling this from isn't necessarily legit. I wouldn't pull this from any random site but that's just me
Also just checked Sam mobile and confirmed the firmware is indeed NE1

Maybe it's a page plus firmware??
I wouldn't know where to find that around here.
Edit: I need to know the entire firmware number, and are you sure your model is sch-i535pp? I don't want you flashing something that will hard brick your phone.

Looked up the page plus S3 and the model number is SGH-R530 that one and this one have nothing to do with each other. Other than sharing the S3 name. I think they might be a little confused. I did read somewhere that there was an update beyond NE1 but I haven't seen it anywhere
From my CM11 S3
it has to be NF1. when i first got it, it ran android 4.3 not 4.4 which from my understanding the NE1 is 4.4 which is kitkat. that isnt what im trying to get. (heard it has terrible battery life so i never took the update) yes i am sure it is i535PP. its on the back of my phone and even on its back casing that covers the battery. i already have tried flashing I535VRUCML1_I535VZWCML1_HOME.tar.md5 and I535VRUCNC1_I535VZWCNC1_HOME.tar.md5 found on the samsung site to get firmware. tried flashing in pda in odin. i get an auth error and my download mode says secure check fail sbl2. im glad it failed if it wasnt right. dont need a hard bricked phone lol. heres what the side of the box says that came with it. again i did not update anything on it so all the things should be the same.
VZW-SKU SCHI535MPP
SW-VER. I535.NF1
PRL 58024
then under my battery, the sticker that has the MEID an stuff. it reads
model: SCH-i535PP
SKU: SCH-i535MPP
FCC ID: A3LSCHI535
made in china and under that is my MEID but i dont think youll require that lol
need any other info just let me know. just keep in mind i can only get into stock recovery or download mode
thanks again for the help everyone. i appreciate your time
oh and no idea if this helps or not but on the lower corner of the box it reads SCH-i535MBPVZW
i just wish i could remember what was the build number. i know this same S3 under verizon prepaid, same model an everything. had ND3 at the end of the build number. hope this info helps to even though its not much. oh and this phone im trying to fix didnt have the ND3 at the end of the build number, it said NF1...

Third line down, nf1 firmware. Looks like a good file size and full firmware number.
yes i know thats the firmware i need. i had that screenshot uploaded on one of my posts in this thread. i was just trying to not pay 40 bucks to get a membership just to download that one file. and the other guy said it may not be legit....

O I see, hmm, well an nf1 firmware didn't sound legit at first.
If you can't find that firmware you probably won't have a working phone. You need to get your firmware somewhere. You can try upgrading with our 4.4 NE1 firmware, but the 4.3 ML1 and NC1 files did not work for you. That's the only download I was able to find, but that's definitely correct. It still may not be a legitimate file.

Anytime you have to pay for a firmware update, at least in my own opinion it's bogus. I wouldn't bother paying that much for a possible piece of crap or spyware/malware

Try to download the Verizon repair utility and see if you can pull it from there.
i already have tried the verizon upgrade utility. it notices my phone in download mode and it says my device which is I535PP with the phone number unknown and i hit repair and it downloaded the software and tries to repair it but the program crashes at 83%. ive tried several times and it does it everytime. i even got desperate and tried the upgrade tab and it dont even recognize my phone in the upgrade tab. im so frustrated with this!

i would go ahead and retry it. i was looking for an actual installer but ones i found, i click and run it and it doesnt do anything. dont bring up no installer or anything. i thought if i were to install it instead run it from a zip, it wouldnt crash at 83%. as for the link you gave me. it just redirects me to the verizon home page. nothing about the repair software
My guess why it doesn't work is because it's trying to repair with the 4.4 firmware, and not your 4.3 firmware. This won't work.
I'm out of ideas.
Last thing you could do is try to get a hold of somebody with Jtag equipment and see if they have a way to get your firmware. Josh at mobile tech videos is who we usually recommend jtag work to go through. It'll cost $60 to do it, if he can do it.
Sorry man, it's just not a well supported device, nobody posted the firmware in this forum.

ok but i dont see why id need to pay for such firmware. if it was hard bricked, id understand but just for firmware? as that guy said its bogus if you have to pay for firmware lol. i cant believe they dont have firmware or some kind of recovery zip released for this phone yet. its over 2 years old!

First of all your not paying for firmware. Jtag is a service which downgrades the bootloader on your phone. It's a very intricate process of editing your motherboard on the phone.
As BadUsername suggested many times and as far as I'm concerned was very helpful you may have to face the fact that your stuck on the issue with have with no turning back
And your on the prepaid version of the VZW S3 which seems to be quite different and impossible to attempt to update or fix. You've been informed more than once that the firmware your looking for doesn't even exist. I'm not sure what else you'd like someone to do. It's been spelled out clearly for you here

Hello everyone,
Yesterday I tries to root my H810 ATT LG G4 and messed up somewhere along the process. Now my phone does not turn on, show anything or do anything. When it is connected to the computer it shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB Qdloader 9008, so there might be some hope. I've looked all over for system images for the H810 variant and tried to use the PR version from teh mega thread, but no luck as it might be corrupt.
If anyone can provide any guidance, it is much appreciated, I am at a wall.

Further, is it possible to find the HEX file to flash?

her is emmc dump file not sd card work http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f98...810-emmc-repair-fump-uploaded-512-mb-2155756/
Please help me.
So I think I accidentally removed some bloatware when my phone still great.
When I restart the phone hope for a more speedy and light everyday use, it goes bootloop instead.
Here is My Oppo R7sf back then:
1. Already rooted via Oppo Tools, I downgraded the firmware to 151210 version.
2. Booloader not unlocked yet.
3. Cant boot into fastboot mode via buttons, and if I keep holding it = always bootloop, but if I stop pressing it = the logo stucks.
4. Cant boot to Recovery mode nor Hard Reset, and if I keep holding it = same bootloop logo, even I can tell its blinking every 2 seconds. and if I stop pressing it, the logo stucks.
So I was trying how to do fastboot mode via adb and command prompt, but when I type adb devices, it always says "device unauthorized", 12 hours and I have no idea how to get rid of these as far as I know we have to enable usb debugging first, but my phone cannot boot... so... is there any solutions?
Any feedbacks will be much appreciated. Thankyou for your kindness.
My guess is your phone is entering Qualcomms Emergency Download Mode. Try connecting your phone to an PC USB port and look for driver install attempts.

No it's not that simple.
The program utility uses headers to compare which phone is plugged it. It compares those headers with the headers of the phone plugged in.
There is no way to force the program utility to flash a different phone than the ones containing the headers it was shipped with.

Ok. For what I understand the process is quite similar to those I've see for MTK. A correct list of the memory and the right flasher.
I've analyzed the content of the directory and seems that the "key" is inside the flasher and a correct settings.xml and rawprogram0.xml.
The various MSMDownloadTool I've found until now can be grouped in : ver.1, ver.2.0 and ver.3.0 (the last one). Everyone of this version have a "range" work using various types of flasher (number.mbn). I belive that the 3.0 should be able to program qualcomm Smartphone of last generation.
However the last MiuiFlasher should be able program everything.
So the main problem is to find the Mbn flasher with Sahara support and right settings files.
I can't find the right flasher.
Maybe I can get a wrong way ... ... correct me for everything I've missed out :angel:

Yes that's correct. However there is a thread here somewhere in the R7Plus forum which is specifically for the R7PlusM and in there somewhere is a download link to the factory flasher you are looking for.
I know it because months ago I came across it and downloaded its, saw that it contains only Chinese based Oppo files and deleted it later on.
So I suggest you search that thread for what you need.

I have an R7S which has been bricked; details originally posted here but no reply yet.
Additionally to the quoted post above, if I attempt to go into recovery mode and plug the phone into my PC at the same time, the logo stays on but nothing else. I'm not sure if this is sitting in fastboot mode, however I still can't communicate via adb.
Could you please help me resurrect my phone.
hello guys. When installing the rollback of android 10, the phone has been stuck in the installation.

I had a similar issue, got hold of some files and tried flashing with MSNDownloadTool and QFIL but kept getting errors (think the files may have been dodgy).
Sent back to Oppo and they repaired under warranty (even though mine was the Chinese version and I am in the UK and its a 2nd hand phone) - really good service from them.

Hello everyone, I desperately need assistance because I think I may have soft bricked my work provided SM-A536B/DS.
What I tried to do initially is to install TWRP so I unlocked the bootloader successfully. Then, I saw different posts here on XDA where people have successfully installed cust ROMs so i tried to do that. This is when the problems started...
Right now my phone is bricked, I assume it is a soft brick because I can still get it to download mode. I did some research prior writing here, and everyone is mentioning to flash the stock ROM. That does not work.
Right now, the phone has bootloader unlocked: (Screen1)
It is asking me to lock it, so that means it's already unlocked.
Tried to access TWRP but I cannot since I get this screen when I do vol up + power: (Screen 2)
My phone was bought in Europe. I am not entirely sure whick ROM is the right one. Is there a way to check which is the right one to download? There are multiple ROMs I can download for Europe: (Screen3)
My country is not in the list so i downloaded the 2 generic for Europe. I put my phone in download mode: (Screen4)
However Odin fails everytime, no matter what files I add: (Screen5), (Screen6)
Since TWRP is not working, I locked the bootloader again to see if I could get Samsung bootloader to show up. I think i might have deleted it somehow, because I get the same thing as before when i do vol up + power. And as you can see, the bootloader is not locked: (Screen7)
I am now stuck and screwed, because this is my work phone. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone, I desperately need assistance because I think I may have soft bricked my work provided SM-A536B/DS.
What I tried to do initially is to install TWRP so I unlocked the bootloader successfully. Then, I saw different posts here on XDA where people have successfully installed cust ROMs so i tried to do that. This is when the problems started...
Right now my phone is bricked, I assume it is a soft brick because I can still get it to download mode. I did some research prior writing here, and everyone is mentioning to flash the stock ROM. That does not work.
Right now, the phone has bootloader unlocked: (Screen1)

This is why it's a bad idea to screw with work provided devices. You don't own the phone, and you will be held financially responsible for it if it's damaged or broken.
You're trying to flash the wrong firmware. You have G925F selected; your device is an A536B. The latest firmware for your device is A536BXXU4BVL2. Use Frija to download the latest firmware.
Since this is a work owned device, the only advice I will offer is this: Return the phone to stock with the correct software, re-lock the bootloader, and do not attempt to modify it as it is most likely in violation of your company's technology acceptable use policy.

Yes, this is what I am trying to do, to return to stock ROM. I downloaded A536BXXU4BVL2 for my phone, not G925F (this is what Odin uses as an example).

What version of Odin are you using?
Your bootloader is still unlocked, correct?
If you're unable to reflash the OEM firmware in Odin, I don't think there's anything else that can be done.
To be completely honest with you, I'm not sure trying to help you is worth the effort, because you did something you shouldn't be doing anyway, and any consequences you may face are entirely of your own doing.

Yes, i know I did something bad and I learned my lesson.
I'm using Odin 3.14 and indeed, bootloader is still unlocked. I really appreciate the help!

I downloaded the firmware with Frija and I get the same issue with Odin.

I haven't touched any of the options, everything is on default.
While reading this post something popped in my head.
I dont have this phone, but a Xiaomi Mi8.
When I want to adb push or sideload stuff into phone while it is in recovery or download mode, certain usb ports will work and others wont. And there is not a clear error when it's plugged to non-working usb port, just fails in the middle of a transfer with a generic error message.
Maybe totally irrelevant, just wanted to share.
