Hi All,
I have a Note Edge 915FY. Tried to upgrade it to stock 5.0.1 via sammobile.com
It is now stuck. It just shows the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge screen and then flashes to "Recovery Booting" and just stays stuck there! For hours!
I have also tried to download 4.4.4 from sammobile.com and flash that but same thing happens. I cannot go into recovery, only into download mode.
I also tried to root it using CF-Autoroot but that failed.
Furthermore, I have tried flashing CWM and TWRP but both do nothing.
I am absolutely stuck! And I really need help!
PS: The phone has no warranty now, so I have no fallback! Please HELP!!!!!
I didn't have any luck flashing CF-AutoRoot when I was on Lollipop, I used CWM and it worked fine.
If your'e stuck go into ODIN mode (Power, Home + Down Vol) and then click up when prompted,
make sure your pc has samsung drivers installed
Download the stock 5.0.1 BOC2 ROM from this XDA page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/development/rom-stock-tw-lollipop-t3019721
(You can easily up to BOC6 or a hacked rom later)
Make sure to set Odin as shown in the picture from that same url above
http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.com/3/1/4/6/2/6/9/odin.PNG?key=DHp6BTdAsBVpoENIbV4DMw&ts=1431888807
This should work without any issues, I spent some cycles getting bootloops via cf-auto root and some funny ROM behaviour, I was always able to
use this to get me back to stock, root using cwm method then deploy whichever debloated rom you like !

Did you solve?
Try this (It works for me when my Note Edge was bricked):
On samsung kies 3 select "Tools --> Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" and follow the instructions.
It will ask for phone model (SM-N915FY or other) and for Serial Number S/N, this number is indicated under the battery (make attention to insert the number near S/N not near SSN).
After this It will ask to connect the phone in Download Mode and after it will start to download the firmware (more than 1GB) and will start the installation.
Boot into recovery , power + button + sound UP and clear cache and all reset.
Re do lollipop and you should be fine.
Happened to me but i worked it out after the panic stage....

I have tried this but weird enough for me, after I input the model number followed by the S/N number in Kies, I got a message "Initialization is not supported for SM-N915FY"
Its kind of fishy since the S/N input only appears after I gave Kies the Model number. If N915FY was not supported, why would they make me open up the back cover and look up for the S/N, make me type it letter by letter and then tell me 'Ok, no luck for you!'.
Any explanation and/or solution for me please? I only have 14 days of extensive researching experience, still left with a 'baseband unknown and null imei" note edge with no prior efs backup .
I think we got the same problems bro, i was very proud note edge user till two days a go, when sudden problems start to happen like restart, slowdown, loop, freeze and shoot of, later no more reboot from system menu that it just shoots of, and then latter hard to start, i had to take out battery and push start + home + volume down buttons about one minute and put back battery just to bring in to download mode and then volume down to start the in to system, and after screen is off it shots down again and again, and last time i put in to freeze to start it to see any missed calls or messages, but sens last night no way i can start any more!
I used to update apps from google and samsung store, and i em curious at this latest update, overnight was lot of data use, even in settings it was setup not to sync any data and not to use any data in background, only Viber app, so i assume there most have been sent to our phones some malware update to brick our old lovely phones, it is very possible.
Now, all i can do is to go to market to find broken screen note edge to purchase and replace motherboard, and i hope i find one not sim-locked.
So try to use Odin v3.07, and download the firmware from here https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-edge/firmware/#SM-N915FY ans flash it, hope you get back your phone, and if you need to root it, use TWRP v3.02.tar flash with odin to...so the rest of procedure i guess you know!
Today i found on local phone shop+ service one note edge with a bit broken screen, but it did start and stack on kind of "recovery booting", i realized the service or the owner did try to flash sort of room on it but not completed, i bought the phone sm-n915FY model for 30.euro, and now i just transferred the motherboard to my own phone and flashed the TWRP v3.02.tar successfully and let it charge first, bcz there was only 05% battery, and later i will see if i can restore the twrp backup, and i will be careful with this update apps from google and Samsung store the gmail, androidwebsecurity**, maps and browser.
Well, my phone works now, it's just the TWRP backup is not working correct, even i modified folder of the backup, i had pssword in backup and now when i restore seek pasword, i type correct, but the phone did encrypt it. so i have to start with new room setup.
This is my first experience with rooting a phone and I think I messed up...big time! All I wanted to do was get rid of preloaded garbage on the phone to save battery life. Now I have a red message, "Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock".
My G920T was completely stock until today when I loaded CF_Auto_Root into it with Odin.
The phone immediately went into a boot loop after the install. I was able to boot into device recovery and did a factory reset at that point. I didn't know until after I reset to factory that I had accidentally installed Auto_Root for the G920F.
No problems here, booted back into initial setup, and I completed all of the setup items. Logged into Google, Samsung, etc. Because this was my first time and ended with a boot loop, I decided I'd just deal with the battery life problems. I turned off USB Debugging and the Bootloader modify option. The phone seemed to be working normally until I unplugged the phone from my computer, plugged it into wall fast charger, the rebooted the phone.
Now all I get is the Samsung home screen with the red message in the upper left corner. It will continually loop between the home screen and a black screen if the phone is plugged in. I cannot get back into the recovery menu as the phone is unresponsive to home + power + vol. up. I can however boot into the download menu.
I have tried reflashing the stock tar file, a stock bootloader, and stock modem with Odin 3.10.6 and 3.10.7. When I attempt the reflash I get the failed message in Odin, and "SW Rev. Check Fail. Device: 3. Binary: 2.
Are there any other options I have at this point, or something I'm doing wrong or incompletely?
Thanks
Edit:
I have fixed the phone after about 10 hours of messing around with stock firmwares, Odin, Smart Switch, Kies, etc. If the option was there, I tried it.
The FRP Lock is easily fixed by flashing in the stock firmware, but it must be the version the phone was at before rooting. This seems to be pretty common knowledge but my problem was I didn't know which version I had. I started with 0F6, that didn't work because I would then get "sw rev check fail device 3 binary 2" in the download screen and Odin would show a red fail almost immediately.
At this point I was getting pretty beat up by the phone and was trying anything I could find. I noticed, when entering the download menu before you press the vol. up button, that you can press the home key and the phone will show the barcode. This was the turning point for fixing my phone. It was in the barcode screen that I found my phone's S/N. Perhaps it is located other places, like behind the battery I can't remove, or on a carriers website (checked T-Mobile and didn't see it), but this is where I found it. I then remembered that Smart Switch had an option for 'Emergency software recovery and installation'. When you enter that menu the program asks you for your phone's model number, then the phones S/N. I could now use this option because I had the required info. I thought I was making progress but this method failed at 60% of downloading the software and drivers and an error in the download screen of "sw rev check fail device 3 binary 2".
The key for Smart Switch is, after you enter your model number and serial number, the program tells you what firmware version the phone was at. The 3 fields that pop up all read "OJC". More progress! The firmware version I was trying to install, which was the newest one I could find without knowing what to look for, was 0F6. I found the OJC .zip file at sammobile.com. It took 2 hours to download to 95% and the download failed. Restarted the download and waited 2 more hours.
While the OJC was downloading I was still messing with options I was reading about from google searches. I read multiple times to try different versions of Odin, try different USB ports, try different sequences of loading/connecting device to pc. I changed USB ports on the PC and the samsung drivers started installing for the device. A second driver installed this time for Samsung Modem 2 (I only particularly remember the Modem 2 part) that I didn't see install on the other USB port. At this point I decided to try Smart Switch again. This time, with the extra driver, the download completed to 100% and started to install some files onto the phone. But, it only got to 20% installed and erred again. This time the error was "sw rev check fail device 3 binary 1". I also noticed that the Current Binary field on the download screen changed from "custom" to "Samsung Official". More Progress. At this point there was nothing more I could do until the OJC was finished downloading.
As soon as I unzipped the OJC I opened Odin v3.10.7 and loaded the firmware into the AP, plugged in the phone, hit start. Red Fail. Then tried loading the firmware with Odin v3.10.6. Loaded OJC into the AP, connect device, hit start. Red Fail, but, I made it past the Nand Write Start and got all the way down to the system installation part before it failed. More Progress! Tried v3.10.7 again and didn't make it past Nand Write before it failed again. Then I started changing the order of when I opened Odin, loaded the firmware, and connected the device. There are tutorials everywhere that specifically say, "CONNECT IN THIS ORDER OR THE FLASH WONT WORK", I found this to not be entirely true.
How I eventually got the OJC firmware loaded back onto the phone was to Restart the phone into the Download screen, connect phone to pc and wait for Odin to recognize the device, then load OJC into the AP, hit start. In v3.10.7 the install failed every way I tried at different points in the install. v3.10.6 is the one that ended completely re-flashing the phone to stock OJC firmware.
If you're new, or stuck, make sure you do the following:
- Verify you are trying to load the correct firmware with smart switch. (OJC is the last 3 characters of the file names)
- Try different versions of Odin
- Try different orders of setup processes
- Try different USB ports and MAKE SURE you have all Samsung device drivers installed
I might add .. don't forget to run ODIN as administrator.
Also, to avoid this in the future, disable the OEM Lock in Developer Options.

smh, there is number on top of barcode that saids S/N
After Reading this post i felt dumb, because I thought imei on back of my phone was S/N whole time
I used SmartSwitch Emergency software recovery and installation, went through 2 cycles of installation somehow and it finally fixed my phone.
I'm using SM-920T galaxy S6
Hey sir did u just flash the stock rom u downloaded and it fix the frp lock?? I need ur help i also accidentally activated the oem.. please helppp sir
So i wanted to root my Galaxy S6 and found a tutorial.
My smartphone was 6.0.1 and the modellnumber was GM-G920F
I installed the SpaceX-Kernel_MM_RC2.1_G920F kernel on "Ap" in Odin,
after that the TWRP 3.0 also on "Ap" in odin.
I started it and the root was sucessfull but after i restarted i was stuck in bootloop.
Read somewhere online that i should wipe all data so it could recover to stock version ( i know i where stupid on that moment but i panicked), and i did it.
The only thing that was left on my handy is twrp, the normal down+home buttin odin mode doesn't work anymore.
Only option was to reboot into download mode in TWRP. I downloaded the 1,8 Gba stock md5 version for Galaxy S6 and tried to install it with odin. Sadly it stops every time after "hidden image" it fails.
I hope someone can help me.
(sry for bad english, isn't my native languange)
First install the s6-modem file with Odin.after install the vador Rom for the s6 using twrp install zip file vador Rom and u should be fine!!
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
use smart switch an everything will be fine and flash supersu 2.71 next time to dont get bootloop
I connect my S6 to smart switch and it says its not compatible? Says Galaxy S6 not compatible.
[email protected] did u read my text? It says that i can't install the modem bc there is absolutly no firmware on the smartphone and it doesn't let me install one.
[email protected], i have the same problem like [email protected]
Its an unknown device for smart switch.
Power down your phone completely. Boot up in download mode (power + home + volume down). Open Smart Switch and click on "More" on the right upper side of the window, "Emergency software recovery and initialization". Click on the "Software update and initialization" tab. Insert the model of your phone, e.g. SM-G920F and click search. Now insert the S/N of your phone. You can see it on the bottom back of your phone. Click confirm and it will Download the latest stock firmware for your phone. From this point on it's self explanatory. You have to be patient because it's a long process.
Hi guys,
I need help with my G955F. I was on Carotid's ROM and attempted to flash the AQL5 (BTU) firmware downloaded from Samfirm to go back to stock. The flash failed during writing the system.img and now it is stuck on the "Error has occurred while updating the device software" screen.
I can get into Download mode and I can boot into TWRP using ODIN.
Each attempt to flash a firmware in ODIN throws up a "FAIL" during the system.img write portion.
Each attempt to reflash a ROM from my external SD card in TWRP throws up an error while writing to system. /System is unmounted when I start up TWRP and I have to manually mount it each time.
The phone is "not supported" in Samsung Smart Switch.
Anyone have any ideas?
Never mind!
I noticed that whenever I plugged the phone into the PC when the "Error has occurred while updating the device software" screen was on it flashed up as "added" in Odin.
So I tried flashing the stock AQL5 firmware while on this screen and it worked!
I'm just going to leave this here because it's an avenue I never considered and haven't seen online.

Good observations.
You are correct, if the first flash fails, immediately re-enter download mode and flash again.

Yeah, but that's the thing. I wasn't even in Download mode for the successful flash. I was just on the Emergency Recovery screen and when I started the firmware flash, a small progress bar appeared on the screen below the text.

Have not heard of that before - new to me, interesting find.
So the way to replicate is . . .
The way I got there was to have a screwed up install. I tried to flash a stock firmware and it generated a FAIL in Odin during the /system.img write.
The phone then rebooted to a pale green screen with a large triangle and exclamation mark advising me that the phone was in Emergency Recovery Mode and I should restore it by plugging it into a PC with Smart Switch installed.
Interestingly, Smart Switch refused to recognise my phone, saying it was an "unsupported device".
After numerous attempts to flash new firmware through Odin and TWRP (even using the two-step method of getting into Download mode) and using different cables/ports I was planning on getting it professionally repaired until I noticed that when Odin was running and I plugged the phone in, with the emergency screen on, it was "added" as it would be during Download Mode.
I loaded up the AQL5 firmware, and tried to flash. A progress bar appeared under the text on screen and it got about halfway through flashing /system when it failed again, but this time it has progressed much further than any other attempt.
I then reset everything, used an official Samsung cable and a port directly connected to the motherboard on my PC (I had been using a USB extension cable before) and attempted another flash and it worked!
I don't know how you would go about replicating those circumstances without risking your phone but if you find yourself stuck in the same situation, give it a try.
It worked for me.
Thanks, ianrobbie.
Hey guys!
So basically I will start from the top:
1. Device is Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite (SM-N770F) (F/DS if it matters really)
What happened is:
I've wanted to install Android 11 update on my phone - downloaded SamFirm app, searched for correct firmware for my region (I've made sure to select appropriate device and region).
Then I've downloaded Odin (3.14.1), loaded all files correctly - no errors or anything, started the process in Odin and after some time I got an error on the phone - Custom Binary(SUPER) Blocked By OEM Lock.
Now what happens is that I can't do literally anything with my device - it's turned on constantly on the same screen, on the top I can see the above error in red font, while on the center of the screen there is message "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." - which I of course did, but Smart Switch doesn't even see the device or anything.
I can't turn off the device - while I press power and volume down button, it just goes black for a moment and comes right back up on the same screen no matter what.
Although, I think it's in downloading mode - Odin still sees it correctly (when I plug it in or out I can see changes in Odins screen).
Tried downloading older versions through SamFirm, other versions of Odin, other USB in computer, other cable - no luck at all.
Did I fully bricked the device? Or is it just soft bricked? Is there anything I can do now? Can Samsung center help me? I've tried chatting with them but they just sent me to their facility.
I'd do literally anything to fix this. Please help me, I'm desperate.
If you can get into recovery, i would try factory reset there. Then go to downloadmode and try complete new flash of newest version with csc (not home_csc). But im not sure, wether it is possible to flash with odin if bootloader is not unlocked in this new samsungs. I allways used odin with unlocked bootloader.
can't get into recovery - only thing I see is the above mentioned screen and there is 0 possibility of going anywhere else

I experienced similar situation, but in my case, even my phone stuck in download mode screen, ODIN did not detect my phone, even PC wasn't response when plug in USB cable. As same as you say, when I tried to power off, it was power on itself and "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software" message appear on screen.
Then I tried to enter download mode again in download mode screen, by pressing power off, and after screen go black press immediately volume up+down. After that phone enter the download mode screen (again), it was looks like the same, but this time I was able to install firmware. Actually I really dont understand why this method work but you can give a try.
Unfortunately, still no luck.
But I've thought about other thing. Do you think it's possible to use .PIT file and re-partition option in Odin?
From what I've read everywhere this will wipe all partition data (so basically it should wipe every single thing) from the device, so it should be possible to overcome this oem lock, shouldn't it? Or will I just brick the device even further? I'm kinda desperate here as the phone is about 2-3 months so it's as brand new...
Edit: I think I've found another issue here. My device model is SM-N770F/DS so it's a Dual Sim model, while everywhere I only see firmware for SM-N770F so without dual sim. May it cause problems as well? How about the above option with flashin firmware with pit file and wiping partitions?
If you have figured it out by now good for you. If not, that emergency screen you see is nothing to fear. You can flash firmware with Odin from that screen...no worries your not bricked. Just do as you would if the device were in download mode..flash away.
Was your bootloader unlocked?
