Hey guys, sorry if this is in the wrong forum, and I know there've been similar posts before, but I'm completely new to all of this. I tried to flash my phone but it didn't work, and now it seems I've bricked it. I can get onto the Samsung splash screen, and I can get to the odin screen by holding power home and vol down. I'm trying to use odin v3.10.7 to flash a stock 5.1.1 firmware I got from sammobile but it keeps failing right at the very end. I'm not sure what to do. I have a SM-G920F, from the UK on EE (T-mobile/Orange). If anyone could help me I'd be really greatful.
Flash BTU firmware, your hidden.img is probably what is failing because you need a pit file. Download the BTU, it is unbranded UK firmware.

Turn off your phone, and then turn it on pressing and holding Volume Up, Home, and Power button at the same time until you see a warning. Then press Volume Up to continue, and navigate using volume keys and select wipe cache/factory reset with the Home button, then reboot.
Please note that by doing this all your data will be lost.

Go into recovery (Volume UP, Home Button and Power button) keep pressing them until you get the blue writing saying 'RECOVERY'.
Then go and wipe everything (factory reset), also clear cache if you want to. Then press reboot now. Then it should work

Just done this and its still doing what its just been doing :/
What do you mean by a boot cycle, try and re-flash but this time ticking the delete all option in Odin. After it re-flashes, try and see if it does anything unusual before it starts to go to the 'Samsung' boot animation. After about 5 mins, if it doesn't boot, then go into recovery and do a factory reset. If all that doesn't work, i'll help you flash a PIT file, to get your EE Branded Stock ROM working.
And don't worry, this all happened to me.

So when I turn it on I get the Samsung boot logo, but then it just goes black unless I hold the power button, then it'll boot into the logo again, but that's about as far as I can get it. While its trying to boot the LED is blue (not sure if that matters or not). Just reflashing with erase everything. Thanks a lot for the help I really appreciate it.
It passed Odin. Then it boot into recovery

No problem, and just a heads up, if this doesn't work than do this:
Download THIS PIT file. Go into your PIT section on your ODIN, than open this file. Then WITH the PIT file, make sure you load up your EE Branded Firmware. Make sure re-partion is checked as that is the PIT file
If from there it still fails, than flash THIS PIT file, then do the steps again. The reason I am asking you to flash 2 PIT files, is that I had this EXACT problem, and one of these PIT files saved me, but I don't know which one :/
Good Luck!!

If the BTU firmware works, than forget the EE firmware. (Try to factory reset if it still does not boot)
If not then do the steps above. (And no, the PIT file fixes the EE Firmware)
By the way, be warned when using the PIT file, make sure re-partion is checked WHEN you put in your PIT file.

Thats weird... Could you try to get a video or a series of pictures, with one for every event that happens when the phone boots. And is your KNOX tripped? If you don't know about it, you probably haven't rooted anytime.

Yeah my KNOX is tripped. Do I have to unlock a bootloader or anything? When I originally tried to put new firmware on it, I just connected it to ODIN and uploaded the new firmware into CP and pressed start, didn't do anything else. Yeah I'll try to get a video but it might have to be tomorrow that I send you it. Do you want it in an email?

Since you have your KNOX tripped, try to flash TWRP and click the little button in the bottom middle, it will bring like a log, if you see any writing thats RED and says something like 'Unable to mount ....' than you might be in a bigger problem (for me the problem was fixed by flashing a PIT file). BUT if it doesn't say that, just click wipe then factory reset, than reboot. If it says 'No OS Installed' than you probably flashed the files incorrectly, but it shouldn't really say that.
I don't mind if you want to send a video to my email, if you want you can just show pictures, it'll probably be easier.
Good luck

I need help guys,
I used Odin to root the phone and did my first custom rom which is the clean rom...it went through the process and when it was about to reboot i got the system software not approved by verizon and take phone to store
I have been told to odin back to stock but it wont let me. The stock image on odin wont work it says fail
I tried the first method and used odin in download mode to flash the stock image
Failed:
This is what I get
added
Odin V3 engine
File Analysis
all threads completed (succeed 0 / Fail 1)
In the Odin Download mode on the phone the top left reads as follow
Odin Mode (Red Letters)
Product Name (SCH-I535)
Custom Binary Download : Yes (1 counts )
Current Binary Custom
System Status Custom
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable
One thing I gotta mention is that when I got the phone last week it had an OTA update from Verizon which I did install and then a few days later I rooted the phone and when I tried to use Clean Rom it gave me the dreaded Verizon message
Sounds like you didn't unlock the bootloader.
Ya your bootloader is locked again ... unlock it and redo the steps everything should be fine after that
Guys I know that the bootloader is locked but i cannot get back to stock to unroot phone and then unlock the bootloader
Odin recognizes phone but the stock image goes into fail mode right away
I cannot get into recovery and the only thing I can do is go to download mode and Odin but nothing else

You are aware he can Odin flashed the latest OTA instead of that you have provided. Here it is :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439. This will also help fix his phone being that it is recent. Forgot this link to get him back on track: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114.
i thought thats what he already tried? but yes you can odin any ota file being that an unlocked bootloader isnt needed.
When I try the VRBLK3 chain it goes into set up connection for like 10 minutes on Odin with a fail at the end each time
I'm not sure being ive never had that issues ... im sorry and good luck

I had a similar issue once. This helpful post by h3llsdr0id eventually got me up and running. Took a total of like 4 hours though lol.

Make sure you have the correct files. This is for the original root66 so it's ICS. Once I booted up and activated I took the Verizon OTAs all the way to JB and then rooted/unlocked bootloader.
edit: I actually had to go back to ICS to reprovision my SIM so not sure you have to go through all of this. Try to odin stock JB ROM like mentioned above.
Thank YOU so much guys you have made my day.
After trying all last night and today I got it back to stock with the OTA file through ODIN. That is all I needed and it went right back to brand new stock phone using 4.1.1
WOW.
I thought I was going to have a dead phone.
Thank you all
Glad you got it up and working!!!!!
Yea I had the same problem but all it needed was a handy flash back to stock. The good thing with making these mistakes is that if it happens again you know what to do.

Hi there,
Could someone please help me. I bricked my phone 3 days go and went through odin and root66 stock to unbrick it. I installed CWR and backed up everything, then i purchased triangle away to reset the flash counter. When I did that I got the software not authorized by verizon error screen. It won't let me get into download mode or recovery. Can I still try to use odin? What should I do? I'd really appreciate some help today is the 4th day I have been trying to fix my phone, only to make it worse.
Thank you in advance
You have to get into download mode to use Odin. It will go into download mode, if you will search, there are ways to pull battery along with button combo to get it there. After rooting, use EZ Unlock 1.2 and that will unlock your bootloader without then unauthorized message from Verizon. Make sure you use only that version, the others don't work.

Pull battery, hold volume down+home+power keys while you put the battery back in. If that's too many buttons to fumble with at the same time you can try pulling battery, put it back, hold all three keys while plugging it into your computer. My old phone worked that way, idk about the s3. You SHOULD get the download triangle and it asking you if you want to continue. Hit volume up to continue then plug it in and odin should recognize it. Get the stock rom image to flash in the PDA slot of odin. Accept the OTA's until you're up to date then unlock bootloader, root, then flash custom roms/kernels AFTER you've done the appropriate reading. Theres a sticky in development takes you step by step on how to unbrick, then unlock and root. Those should help once you get into download. Hope this helps! :fingers-crossed:

Good evening all.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7 inch model, The other day I rooted my device and everything was working fine. A few days ago I left my device over a friends house and when I went to go pick it up, I load the Tab 4 up, I am stuck on the Samsung logo. I do have twerp installed and able to get in recovery mode, I try to just reset it to factory reset and I get a error says failed because storage and data can not be mounted. My question is where can I get the factory reset rom so I can flash my device back to factory restore?
If anyone can help me it would be deeply apprecicated..

You can find any stock touchwiz on sammobile(.com) (can't post link, not on the forum for long enough!) (take the one for your device, beware that there are multiple models of the same device, so make sure to take the good one) . But you have to flash it with odin in download mode. You will lose everything, root, games, pictures, twrp, etc... (It's actually a really good way to get back your warranty on your device, since it looks like nothing has ever been modified). btw, try saying what your problem is on the title when you do a post, more people will answer you.

Everything is working great now..lol I thought I had really screwed something up..
Hi... I rooted my s6, and installed lucky patcher... Then I patched my google play. after that, gapps force closed continuously. I thought it would be fix if I do a hard reset and factory reset it... I did a Hard Reset and when it turned on, it became worse! I stuck on initial page and gapps force closes every seconds... I can't do anything!
So I decide to flash a new rom... I downloaded G920FXXU1AOE3 and when I tried to flash it by odin v3.09, it stuck on Start Write NAND...
USB debbuging was on before Hard Reset but I can't open settings to turn it on again...
I'm really disappointed

So I decided to do a factory reset and there was where the disaster happend... when I turn on my phone, gapps force closes every second and I can't pass the initial page of rom where it ask for google permissons... when I click next, It starts from beginning and ask again my first name and last name!

Ok... I Solved my problem finally... I spent almost 3 days in forums to find a solution... So i give you guys a summary what I do:
1) Find my phone's pit file according to model and storage capacity (Mine is G920F 32GB)
2)Then the trick is use ODIN V3.10.6 insist of V3.09... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
3)If you face with hidden.img problem, extract the rom's file and rename the file hidden.img to hidden.img.tar and flash it by ODIN (Put this file on AP)...
Wait for some minutes and there is where magic happens

Same error for my S6 G920F 32GB...any solution as m a bit noob
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA Free mobile app
i don't seem to have a pit file on my phone. please help someone. i have sprint g920p 128 gig. i have downloaded the official firmware from sammobile. i can not flash back to stock though because i keep getting a fail when it is getting pit for mapping on odin. i have found tutorials on how to extract the pit off the device using adb and also using terminal. both efforts have left me messages saying file not found. i have been googling for a little while and can not for the life of me find a pit file for sprint version.
Nand write start fail solved
I have solved using Odin3 v3.10.7 with firmware VZW-G920VVRU4BOK7-20151211140939 and Windows 7 for Galaxy S6 SM-G920V
So it's my 4th day on bootloop and i still can't figure out how to turn my phone on again.
I know how to push files to TWRP. I have Odin ready. I have 2-3 different stock ROM available.
Flashing stock rom doesn't help - even if i put Nand erase all.
Kies or Smart Switch doesn't help me neither.
Tell me what to do - please.
Bootloader, modem, rom, kernel, put files to TWRP or?
Just 2 minute of your time would be greatly appreciated. Please!
Boot into TWRP and go to Wipe, then Advanced Wipe. Check off data, cache, and internal storage, then swipe to do the wipe. Once complete, power off the phone.
Next, boot into Download Mode and flash your latest local stock firmware via Odin. Once the flash is complete, the phone will restart on its own.
The above steps put you at a clean slate. If it's still bootlooping at this point, it's most likely a hardware issue and the phone will need to be replaced.

i bought it brand new in a sealed box off kijiji. i have the box but i dont know where the guy bought it from. i need the reciept to replace it. other than that, i can use warranty to get the phone repaired. i already sent it in and they changed teh battery but that didnt work. is there any way i can find out where the person bought the phone? the person is not replying to my text or calls
So Samsung sent it back to you and it was still bootlooping when you got it back? That's bizarre. I'd send it in again and attach a note.

It's not that easy to replace the phone when i have tripped my knox which means my warranty is off. That is the problem.

I know, but there isn't anything else that can be done.
It sucks, but it happens. I've had phones die and I had no choice but to go out and buy a new one. It's the risk we take when tripping Knox.
Why don't you provide us with more details...:/ For example which model phone you have (920F/I/T/V/A/etc.) Bootloop means you soft bricked it afaik.
In this case use ODIN 3.10.7 and take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/project-zero-pac-firmware-pit-file-t3181133
1. Put phone in download mode + open odin ( = the phone is detected aye?)
2. Extract the FAC firmware you downloaded (if i am right it's 1 .tar file and if there are multiple you put modem in CP, bootloader in BL and phone in AP)
3. in AP put the right FAC firmware from the thread mentioned above, if its just 1 .tar file (use G920FXXU2BOG8_G920FOXX2BOG9_XEO_PAC.zip if you have the 920F)
4. In the tab "pit" select the pit file you downloaded for your device; e.g. 920F = G920F_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN150M.pit
5. Start odin and let it succesfully finish
6. let phone reboot.. it will be on the samsung logo for maybe 10 min?

This is the message i get from Smart Switch when trying to flash stock android from the program.
So I went to flash a Rom with Odin and now I can't get past the recovery screen. The phone will not show up when I plug into USB either. Is this phone officially toast?
Our crystal ball here at XDA is on the blink, unfortunately you're going to have to manually provide more information

Hi mate
You said past recovery screen in recovery mode?
What firmware you flashed with odin , which files ?
If you can get into download mode there is hope still... can you? , go to recovery factory reset see if you can boot now , if not flash again firmware with odin , to avoid losing data use your home_csc file if that does not work flash again this time using CSC and checking re partition option in Odin
The phone orginally was stuck in a boot loop so I downloaded what I thought was a working Rom to fix it. Apparently something went wrong because now all I can do is get to hard reset recovery screen. I can wipe cache and format and all but it does not do anything.
I tried to plug the phone onto my computer and nothing happens now where as before it would recognize as a s7 and would recognize in Odin.

Model S7?
ROM you Flashed?
Download mode should still work no matter what you do with firmware tbh
It was a live demo stuck in boot loop. G930x
I'm not sure I remember the file name but it was the stock ldu rom

But what did you try to flash a custom rom or a stock firmware?
What did you format in recovery?
Sometimes during bootloops getting into download mode is tricky , keep trying

Don't worry, two heads are better than one

Yea OP, as above, getting into DL mode sometimes takes a few attempts, keep Volume Down & Home & Power pressed until the phone reboots twice, after the second reboot keep them pressed and see if it boots into download mode
AFAIK with the demo units you need to flash the G930F firmware to them to unlock
But still no modem or fingerprint reader even after that iirc
But I can't used my pc to flash anymore. It does not show a device connected like if I plug in my s8.
The picture shows where I am stuck
Ok I got past that screen in dl Mode and found the right firmware or so I believe. Odin freezes when trying to add AP file. Without it my phone stays on the load screen. Help!

Wait, ODIN takes a long time to load AP, and looks like it has frozen, just wait and it will add eventually
Can someone point me to the correct thing I need to download then? There are so many. What do I need since its a sm-g390x?

Maybe you can use the emergency recovery from samsung.. with serial number it will flash the correct firmware.
I'm not sure being a live demo unit

There are many of the 930f I have found but none of which for the United States.

That's because it's an International firmware, use United Kingdom (BTU)
I did the firmware flash. Everything seemed to go smoothly but now I am stuck on a flashing Samsung screen

Did you use CSC rather than HOME_CSC?
Try booting into recovery and factory reset
