My Fried gave this phone to me (SM-N915G) which is stuck at Powered by Android, and told me to fix it.
He said that when he update to MM from LP without KIES or Odin, the phone suddenly restarted and stuck there getting HOT
He had no experiece to repair it so he asked me to fix it.
So for 3 days lately, i have tried many ways to fix it but wihout any progress, as follow :
1. Flashing Official MM wby using Odin -> still stuck
2. Downgrading Flash Official LP using Odin -> still stuck
3. Installed TWRP, and flasing CFW Micky387_MM_V3.0 for 915F/FY/G (flashing Bootloader and modem as required) -> still stuck with set warranty bit : kernel
4. After Flashing Micky CFW and Failde, i try to flash Emotion Kernel -> still stuck with Kernel is Seandroid Enforcing
5. Redoing Flash Micky CFW with other CSC -> Still Stuck (even i tried with 915F and 915FY as in the aroma installer)
6. Never failed during flash procedure with Odin or TWRP, everything is smooth
7. When stuck, the device is getting Hot slowly but and when left as long as 15 minutes, the HH is getting HOT (TWRP read 72 degree at most)
**Update
8. Tried using Official SmartSwitch sucessfully but the result is still the same -> Still Stuck and getting hot as usual T.T
Last Download Mode status is :
Odin Mode (High Speed)
Product name: SM-N915G
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Reactivation Lock: Off
Knox warranty void: 0x1 (2)
Quallcomm secureboot : Enable (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
Secure Download: Enable
UDC START
I am now thinking, should i flash another Kernel or PIT or Bootloader? but i still cant decide what to do next to revive this Phone

I can tell you that Kies and NOT Kies 3 was what worked for me when I downloaded/installed Marshmallow from Samsung's website.
Figure that one out.
That was also using a 64 bit version of Windows 7 Pro.

I'm going to guess that you've tried installing MM using Kies directly from Sammobile?
If so,have you tried turning off your computer's antivirus when you download/install?
It sounds like the bootloader is looking for something and can't find it.....kind of like what happened to me when I totally ripped KNOX out of my phone.
Restore time!
Good thing I did CWM backups.
In your case,your computer's anti virus could be seeing something in the download and ripping it out.
I've seen my browsers do that when I download stuff....pain in the....
Have you tried a different battery?
Maybe a search of the forums to see if anyone else has had this problem and solved it?
I kind of remember seeing something like this a while back.

Thank you for the response,
I was using KIES 2.64 that downloaded from Samsung website to fix the phone as your suggestion (tools->firmware upgrade and initialisation) but still fail to fix it.
Nope, the antivirus still active when KIES download the FW and Flash it into the phone, but it is new to me that antivirus will intercept ongoing dowloaded files, if so i think the antivirus will give some notification or warning about the content of the file that being downloaded and in my case, my antivirus is still cool and no notification whatsoever.
The bad thing is i do not have any cwm backup and since this is my friend phone and not mine, well... we dont have any backup for this phone.
Regarding the battery, i admit that i havent try other battery, since i dont see any connecton between it, in my opinion, the phone works well, the charging animation working, and no sign of weak battery... but i will try to do it if i can get some other battery
I have surfed many forums and websites, but almost 90% can be fixed with simple flashing from odin or just by clearing up cache and data from recovery.
Other that that, wither, no one respond to the problem, or just some discussion without conclusion, really frustrating.
I even go further to read about android booting sequence to identify whats wrong with the boot sequence, but still confused...
But i have some question if you would to answer :
1 . Stuck at Android logo, bootloader or kernel problem?
2 . Is it possible that one of the mainboard chip that have some part in booting process is malfunctioning? But if so, the phone will be dead bricked right?
3. How about the booting process is halted due some hardware failure? ex : some chip (other than chip that have part in booting process) is bad and so the bootloader init is halted
4. The Worst guess, is it possible that the phone is fake? (the serial number behind the baterry is accepted by kies though)
Thank you very much, you are the only one who still response to my problem. :good:
As it seems you use the wrong Bootlaoder. Is his phone N915P or N915G? When you flash N915G Bootloader to N915P, it will not boot but the bootloader will work correctly. Try to flash the N915P bootloader.
I have N915FY phone but did not know first if I had N915F or FY. I flashed the N915F bootloader version, which flashed successfully, but was not booting. Bootloader said that my phones model is N915F. After flashing the FY Bootloader version, it successfully booted to system.

Thank you for the Response,
First, his phone is N915G (according to the box and the information in the battery compartment)
(Really sorry for the mistake i made at the thread title)
And regarding bootloader, that is also my concern at first, i think maybe i was flasing wrong region and bootloader, and so i search the way to find out the real version of the phone, but after trying many ways described on the net (by imei or serial number) , i still cannot found out the way.
But one instance when i try using KIES, and KIES asked for the version and serial number when device upgrade and initialisation, i entered the exact version and serial number that is found behind the phone in battery compartment. KIES immediately confirms that the version and serial number is valid, (i still wonder though, is KIES check it online at Samsung server or there are some serial number database embedded in the KIES) and continue to run trough the official fw download and installation by KIES but at the end still no success.
Is it possible that the version and serial number is wrong ? if so, how to determine the correct one?
and is it safe to try flasing another bootloader?
Thank you very much
Hello, there is no bootloader related to serial number or something. There are different bootloaders for different models and android version. When you flash MM-Version, you need to be sure that you use the right bootloader and baseband files for MM. If you flash different region-locked firmware/bootloader, it will not affect btw. not solve the boot-stuck problem.
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N915G Try to flash 6.0.1 firmware that is related to your region if you still want to try to flash different region-firmware.
Maybe download the XSA 6.0.1 Firmware with the pit file XSA http://gsm-firmware.com/index.php?a=browse&b=file-info&id=15892.
Then flash XSA 6.0.1 and TBLTE_SEA_XSA.pit together in odin. Under Odin 3 V3.12 ticke the re-partition at option-tab and select TBLTE_SEA_XSA.pit under pit-tab.

Thanks for the reply!
Although there is no bootloader related to serial number, but if we put the serial number in KIES, it will identify what CSC and region, which can be use as a guide to choose the correct FW or let KIES do the Flashing according to the inputted serial number, and as long as the serial number is correct one, that is my opinion but please CMIIW.
When flashing MM, if i use the MM that has been downloaded, the bootloader and baseband is included in the MM image right? or shouuld i flash it separately?
i have tried your suggestion but with no sucess, i have dowloaded the PIT and the FW, flash it trough odin which was sucess, but still stuck.
I do not tick auto restart at Odin, so i manually restart the phone, but i encounter an event which at 20% installing system update (below the greed droid guy) the progress bar is vanished and replaced with erasing, and after that the phone stuck again at the same spot.
Do you have any idea why?
Thank you very much.
Just thinking, should i erase the NAND in ODIN?
If so, how to restore it?
I think that if i backup the NAND using custom recovery and restore it later, it just bring back the same problem, if the NAND causing all this.
Do anyone have some NAND backup that i could use? or any other suggestion?
Thank you
Can you boot to recovery? if yes, try to wipe data and cache.
If it still not working, try to backup your efs with a custom recovery (ex. TWRP), or better the entire System like data, system, boot, efs, modem and save it to your computer.
After saving the backup, try to flash the firmware with pit file while checked NAND erase all.
When its finished and your device boots up, you can flash back your custom recovery and recover only the efs-partition.
If its not working, then there is maybe problems with your eMMC. But be aware using nand erase all. It is the last riskfully option left after trying several things.
I have a backup of my resurrection rom. If you want it I can upload it.
Hi all,
I have this model
Phone: SM-G955F
Android version: 7.0
Build number: NRD90M.G955FXXU1AQDD
I haven't touched anything or updated anything in at least 6 months and the work has been working fine.
I did update yesterday the "Samsung music" app however, not sure if that has anything to do with my problem.
This morning I got a message "Please restart your device, some apps are overloading the system".
So I did a reboot and now the device won't start.
I hate the red message "Custom Binary Blocked By FRP Lock" and the device stays turned off.
I didn't touch anything, so what on earth caused this?!
OEM Lock appears to be ON. FPR Lock is also ON now.
I had the phone rooted when I bought it but I'm using stock firmware.
Also, haven't had any issues in over 6 months so this I am very curious what could cause this to suddenly happen.
I read some guides that I have to re-flash stock firmware again, but I don't see how that will prevent the issue from happening again
Please help
I downloaded Odin and then what looks like the latest stock firmware.
Not sure how that is going to help. I had stock firmware before too
Hum. What can you boot into, recovery (is it stock recovery)? download mode? will it boot to setup in system, as it should if you have an FRP happening.
I had a nightmare of a day yesterday.
Downloaded the latest stock rom and flashed it using Odin. That worked fine.
Then I added TWRP and the phone got soft-bricked because apparently TWRP is not compatible with any of the latest firmware versions (who knew!)
Then I spent hours looking at hacks and found that Notorious zip that you can flash after getting into TWRP via the old BL/smash Start on Odin trick
Then phone showed verification error with the only option to Wipe all data (which I didn't want to do)
Then I managed to reflash the latest stock rom and leave it unrooted for now.
It's a learning experience but I don't like the high stress levels.
The most important thing is that I did nothing to cause the FPR lock and I'm now afraid it might randomly happen every few months

Generally for the 955F (Exynos, yes?), it's a pretty straight forward process. Yes, you do have to make sure you have the correct TWRP . . .
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7...overy-official-twrp-hero2lte-3-0-0-0-t3334084
once you flash TWRP, right at the end, or just before then end of the flash, press Vol up, Bixby and power to boot directly into TWRP. Should work just fine. If not, usually re-flashing TWRP and a direct boot to recovery works. Sometimes it take a few times to get the key pressing/timing down.
Yeah, you are right, it can feel pretty stressful.
hi, did you finally fix this problem? I have a s9+ stock firm, got TWRP and rooted and has been using it for a couple of months without issue, including reboot. but today I was using a bank app it kept stopping itself, so without further thinking I restarted the phone and got the red FRP lock on the screen. tried getting into TWRP but said it's blocked by FRP lock. then using ODIN I reflashed the same stock firm, got into the phone, everything is there except root, and of course Titanium works no more!
my question is, if anyone is reading this, is the TWRP still there or not? in order to find out I'll have to flip the OEM lock off and tried to get into TWRP, but would that trigger a factory reset? but if the TWRP is not there anymore, in order to root I'll have to do a system wipe. either way it gonna be troublesome. and besides, what's to prevent its happening all over again?
I'd appreciate any help! thanks))
Simple solution to that DONT turn the OEM unlocking OFF
This toggle unlocks the bootloader for use with custom binarys and recoveries such as TWRP toggling the OEM unlocking off will stop any custom recovery from being flashed with odin and will also not allow the custom recovery on it to be booted for security reasons related to the FRP lock
The OEM lock is linked to the FRP lock both are run through the same toggle you would have noticed when you enabled it that a warning message appeared about the device losing all FRP security measures when enabled if you switch this toggle back to off your FRP lock re activates and the custom recovery that is already installed will now be blocked from being used and the system will render it a security issue and will not allow your system to boot,
So again to save you all this trouble in the future DO NOT tuurn off your oem unlock while you have a custom binary installed,
Yes your devices security is gone but this is the cost you pay when you decided you wanted to root your device,
There is an alternative though if you know what your doing enable oem unlock flash TWRP flash your root and what not then when finished if you know how to pull the recovery from stock firmware and make it into a flashable file with odin you can have root and what not and also keep your oem unlock switched to off bu ti strongly suggest do your reaearch if you choose to take this path.
Hope this helps guys

You need to flash the correct bootloader version to your device IE check the binary number on the firmware file and compare to what is listed on download mode
File binarys have the letter U? example is
G930FXXU2ARA1 or G930FXXU3ARA1
Take note of the number
Now in download mode on the device
Find AP SWREV B: ? An example is
AP SWREV B:2 K:0 S:0
The 2 signifies it's a bit 2 bootloader so the firmware package needed for this device would be for example G930FXX"U2"ABCD
all you have to do is match them up,
AP SWREV B1 = U1 or S1
AP SWREV B2 = U2 or S2
AP SWREV B3 = U3 or S3
As for the flash error message " custom binary blocked by frp lock" means someone has tampered with the firmware, I'd assume you didnt get it from sammobile ? or it's not made for model number check the backing to your S7 model number is located at the bottom in small writing
Will be G930"F" for example also compare the letter to the binary file to make sure your flashing the correct model,
Also what version of odin3 are you using to flash as 6.0 to 7.0 binaries can be flashed with V3.12 as the binary files don't use .lz4 compression however 8.0 binaries do use .lz4 compression this is a new type of compression so requires Odin3 3.13.1 as this odin3 has the capabilities to read and flash the .lz4 binaries to the device
And I'm not sure if your aware but the factory binaries dont have OEM unlock in them to remove the FRP however there is a way that I know how to do it on this particular model but it will vary the B:? In download mode and to if a combination rom is available for your binary number COLOR="Silver"]

Yep sweet also what region are you in also so I can make sure the firmwares modem is also region appropriate as they all run on different frequencies other than that that's all the info I need my friend product name is model number you have the same model as me I have G930F also give me two seconds and I'll get the link for you for the correct firmware, as for frp lock your very much quite lucky the warranty void is only "warranty void 1 (0×030c)
If it were : 1 (0×500b) youd be royally screwed for some reason combination roms will not boot on any Knox tripped S7 with : 1 (0×500b) but will boot on any Knox tripped device with : 1 (0×030c) I know this as I have a variety of S7 as I run a phone repair shop and have tested on tripped devices with Knox tripped as both

If it were : 1 (0×500b) youd be royally screwed for some reason combination roms will not boot on any Knox tripped S7 with : 1 (0×500b) but will boot on any Knox tripped device with : 1 (0×030c) I know this as I have a variety of S7 as I run a phone repair shop and have tested on tripped devices with Knox tripped as both

Hey mate no it will 100% work just select your country all firmware from sammobile is guaranteed to be 100% official I use them myself, the only thing however is you need to make an account but the good news its 100% free to make an account but then there another little downfall download speeds are a little slow in free subscription but well worth the wait as I guarantee it will work

OK someone please help. I'm having this same issue, except I got a galaxy s6, however when I boot into download mode and plug cable up it recognizes the driver as a modem or sometimes I get it to show up in ports but its named USB serial device, so I'm unable to flash anything through odin. I tried plugging my wife's galaxy s7 up to PC through download mode and her phone doesn't even show up as a USB diagnostic port....I'm seriously stumped on this and having a hell of a time trying to find any info on this My dumbass had stay awake checked at the time and when I went to turn it off I must have accidently unchecked the OEM unlock option resulting in.....a good headache lol....thanks for ur time guys.

Hey mate i run a phone repair shop it's got nothing to do with the phones it's the computer or drivers
#1 What version of Odin are you using, you should be using the latest I use 3.13.1 as it supports new .lz4 compression for 8.0 oreo firmware,
#2 did you install the latest Samsung drivers.exe because if you didnt the information is not on your computer to read samsungs devices all the information to communicate to the device is stored in these drivers,
If you havent this is your problem, go to Google type in "latest Samsung USB driver.exe download" or check the forums here for it also, download it and simply open the exe and install the drivers,
Reboot and now try, if you still have the same issue what USB cord are you using, try an original Samsung USB cable or decent branded one,
If there error still persists what version of windows are you using,
Thanks
Hi guys
I need a helping hand.
I have a s7 (G930F fxxu2drb6) with frp lock.
It did not work either realterm, bluetooth, or downgrade (SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2, BINARY 1 SAMSUNG).
On gsm-hosting they suggested to me to flash the combination file "COMBINATION_FA60_G930FXXU2ARA2_CL7964511_QB165812 9 6_REV00_user_mid_noship.tar.md5".
After the flash I can not yet downgrade (W REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2, BINARY 1 SAMSUNG), not even flash again "fxxu2drb6" (FAIL RQT_close).
Can someone help me get out of this situation?
Thank you in advance

Thanks so much for the reply i appreciate it i might try my combination file with the G930FXXU2DRB6 firmware you used as i need to test my hardware and fix imei but cant get the factory binary to boot on G930FXXU2DRBE firmware my thinking that it wouldnt boot was as its FA60 is android 6.0 MM where as my U2DRBE firmware is FA70 7.0 nougat is your device nougat or marshmallow ? Just trying to work out whats going wrong where for it to not boot on my device as ive lost my imei number flashing a custom rom and dont have access to my TWRP back up for another 3 weeks
Thanks
Hello. I have a similar problem. I have the latest firmware on it: G930FXXS2DRDI There are no ways to lift the Google lock. I have tried everything possible: Bluetooth does not work, Talkback, Realterm, etc. Please for help
My Android Version is: 7.0 (Nougat)
Frp g930fxxu2ara1
Hello my friend, i have this problem too. Have you a fix? this security patch for FRP is incredible....
You CAN bypass FRP on later Samsung models using Combination FW. I have succsesfully done this with S8+/G955F, it should work with any device that has compatible Stock/Combinaton FW.. Here are the steps. Download a compatible STOCK ROM, and some similar COMBINATION FW (by similar i mean both FW to be with the same binary and same android version, duh..) Here are some firmware download links, but you can use whatever you want, according to your device.. G930F STOCK ROM/G930F Combination FW
First, using Odin flash the COMBINATION FW to your phone. After flashing is complete and the phone reboots, allow a few minutes for the phone to boot. If it doesn't boot/gets stuck at bootlogo, reboot/boot to recovery and wipe data/cache, and reboot again. MOST IMPORTANT THING! After the phone boots, go to Settings, enable Developer Options if not enabled, enable USB Debugging, and turn the device OFF using Power button. After the device shuts down, enter Download mode, open Odin, place all 4 files in their respective fields (BL,AP,CP,CSC), and here is the SECOND MOST IMPORTANT THING! In the CSC field place the CSC file that starts with HOME/HOME_CSC (There will/should be 2 different CSC files in the FW archive, one starting with CSC, and the other with HOME_CSC). After flashing is complete, allow the phone to boot normally (don't do anything, don't enter recovery/wipe data). If you followed my instructions correctly, after the phone boots, you should be able to finish the initial setup/skip all steps, without requiring any account. Then go to Settings, enable Developer Options, turn OEM Unlock ON, and finally factory reset the device to complete the process and start fresh.
Don't forget to hit THANKS button if this method worked fo you!
ATRAC3, do you have the combination files and firmware for the SAMSUNG S7 SM-G930FD please and thank you for your wonderful tutorial here.
my odin(tried on v3.12.5/v3.12.7/v3.13.1 ) keep failing while flashing HOME_CSC but will success with CSC, and still required to login google account, what is the issue here ? (are we supposed to insert the pit file by ATRAC3 ? )

Hi mate ive used the G930FXXU2DRBE XSA Firmware and also G930FXXU2DRB6 firmware with the G930FXXU2ARA2 combination rom however it will not boot past the samsung logo the nad passes and is provisioned in top left corner and when plugged into the computer comes online with ADB bypass flasher but it just sits there even if i do a cache wipe and factory reset it comes up with a tango console error or something like that when reset then reboots back to samsung logo and when re installing firmware HOME-CSC will fail every time the only thing ive been able to put it down to is that (1) the firmware is FA_70 which is nougat OS and the combination rom is FA_60 MM or (2) my knox warranty bit is tripped and will not allow a samsung factory binary to be run on it, may i ask what would be the difference with the firmware you have listed to the firmware im already using with the combination rom ? Need to sort my imei number out with the factory nad asap dont have access to my TWRP backup for another week and a half, if it helps my device is not FRP locked and is oem unlocked.
Thanks
Matthew
P.S to all those whom have a bit 2 bootloader on S7 all the loopholes have been patched the only way is to use the combination files ive been through absolutely everything and tried everything this new bootloader update is impenetrable i can google unlock samsung S8 and S9 no dramas and with S9 the OEM lock option dissapears for a week if tampered with but still 15 minutes and its done this **** but got me goin loco holmes !!!!! Maybe they figured this out also as there is only bit 1 bootloaders for both the S8 and the S9 however with S8 i found a stock firmware that allows another way to unlock the device without the need to flash any combination rom.
So in short no hope now to unbrick our Samsung S7 SM-G930F/FD or what.....?

If it gets stuck on the console error and wont reboot to download mode then hold the power button volume down button and power button for 40 seconds and it will re boot to download mode for stock firmware re installation in short basically no theres way to remove the FRP unless you can get the combination rom to boot which from what ive seen some will boot the binary but then it also depends if HOME_CSC will flash to keep usb debugging enabled to use adb bypass program im now using the new G930FXXU2ERE2 8.0 OREO so I've given up on the binary 2 nougat FRP unlocking for now might be best to wait a while for someone to receive a factory binary on the nougat or oreo when sent off and returned so it can be dumped and built into a flashable rom until then not much can be done and i may have to wait another week and a half for my EFS backup :'(
We will be waiting from u for the new combination file when out bro, our hope are hinged on u!
No one is coming up with any method about the bootloader binary 2 for the Samsung S7 G930FD...?

I know this should be in Rom,kernels,rev. I'm a junior member so I can't post their yet
So I've recently rooted my phone. I got too excited and tried installing a custom boot animation that screwed up my phone and it couldn't shut down only restart.
Then I had an idea to wipe the system through TWRP and I accidentally deleted everything (Wiped internal storage) so download mode was blank. Then I tried installing stock Rom but I extracted it, removed the stock recovery.img.lz4 and replaced it with the TWRP Recovery. For some weird reason the firmware was acting weird with T mobile roaming and stuff that wasn't supposed to be there cause I'm not a t mobile customer. Then I just flashed stock Rom (Augaust security patch) with Odin. Aaand I got RMM Locked again :crying::crying:
I thought flashing combination firmware again would allow me to access the OEM unlock option and flash TWRP again.
When I tried to flash I got an error SW rev check fails device 3 binary 2. If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it. Also if anyone knows why I got the T mobile stuff after I did the TWRP thing (out of curiosity) I would like to know. Please respond.

It seems that your filmware is corrupt.
Which bootloader binary are you on, binary 2 or 3, Nougat or Oreo?
Remember that if you have binary 3 you cannot downgrade to binary 2.
And don't use the combination rom anymore because you have to know what you're doing its risky.
I can advise you to do a fresh install of the official country filmware from out of the box, and after that update to the latest filmware version, and a big chance to get rid of RMM prenormal state, with oem-unlock back.
If you're on binary 2, just flash an official filmware from your country before the August security patch, after that update it again to the latest version.

What I meant is the first official filmware you had when the phone was bought,and if you were on binary 2, but that doesn't matter now you're on binary 3.
Now you have to flash the official filmware from your country, it must be a binary 3 filmware because downgrading will not work.
After that you have to do jailtime for 168 hours untill oem unlock is gonna appear again.
Do not restart the phone or disconnect the network at this time.

Unfortunately you do with the 1 august patch, if you can find a previous official filmware, for example april, may, june or juli patch you can do the trick to set back the date and time 7 days and get oem unlock back.
But this does not work anymore with the august patch or later, that means you have to wait 7 days.

At this time its impossible to downgrade from a binary 3 towards 2 or from 2 to 1.
You can only upgrade, Samsung has blocked the downgrading from a higher to a lower binary, therefore it is useless to try it with Odin, it won't succeed.
Maybe someone else knows a way around to downgrade, but I don't.

1. You didn't posted in the wrong section. This one is the correct one, the one where you wanted to post is reserved to ROMs, kernels and other projects.
2. Modifying Official firmwares is a bad idea if you don't know how to do it. Seems also you downloaded the wrong firmware for your phone.
3. Flashing Combination firmware is useless since OEM Toggle is still enabled (you said you were rooted so I suppose yes). RMM flag is still stored in RPMB and doesn't gets resetted by flashing that factory fw, to set RMM back to Normal you need to flash the full stock firmware for your country and wait the classic 168h countdown.
4. The "SW REV. CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: x, BINARY: x" is caused because you're trying to flash a firmware with a lower rev. than the one installed in your phone. You need to flash a firmware with the same or higher rev (In this case, you need a XXU3/XXS3 or higher fw). Forget to flash a fw with a lower rev since RP fuse prevents you to do it (if you force install the bl via TWRP you get an hardbrick)

Already replied: no. First, there's no relation between bootloader and system (why should a wipe let you flash a lower rev bootloader lol). And as I already explained, Rollback Prevention fuse avoids you to do that: in Odin if you try to flash a lower rev bin it returns an error. If you try to force install it via TWRP, you'll hard brick your device and get a dead phone

Just do your time 6 days I think.

omg youre the best. thanks so much.
I have the T-Mobile variant (TMB firmware, A125U) and I would like to flash unlocked firmware (XAA, A125U1), but when I tried it failed. I tried flashing a combination file first but all the tutorials I was following were old and I had no success there either. I'm using the latest version of Odin and a good USB cable. Just the other day, I was able to flash TMB firmware without an issue, now I'm getting the Complete(Write) operation failed error. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Try with patched odin, not normal odin.

That's what I've been using. Odin will throw a generic "failed to partition" error, but on my phone display, I'll get an error about not being allowed to flash different software than what's already on the phone. I did some more research and came to the conclusion that I need to get the phone to change it's KG Status. It was stuck on Prenormal until I blocked Knox's connection to the internet with a firewall, at which point the KG Status changed to Checking. Still can't flash firmware though. The last thing I could think to try is to leave the phone on for 7 days and hope the KG Status will change again and show me the option for OEM Unlocking, which currently missing completely from my Developer Options. If there are any other solutions, I'd be happy to give them a try.

Oh, you have to use BROM, which involves opening up phone. You can search a tutorial how to do BROM mode in your phone.

If the bit version of your phone is 3, flash the earliest bit 3 U package files. Then after flash bit 3 U1 package.
When flashing the U package just leave off the user data file. Must be using patched modded odin.
If you are bit 4, then you will be out of luck for a while.
I only know this because I ran into this same issue and that is how I resolved it on bit 3.
