I have a G920F with latest firmware COI6 (Poland).
Is it possible to downgrade from COI6 to COH2?
Flashing thw firmware via Odin always fails.I tried with Skipsoft Unified Toollit but i'm not sure if i did it right.Started to flash but failed and softbricked my phone.
The only reason that i want to downgrade is to root without tripping knox.
I can't find a guide to delete hidden.img from tar file.Maybe i have to rename it but i'm not sure...
No

Can i use the option nand erase all in odin? If not someone please provide me with a pit file for my S6 SM-G920W8. I cannot flash boot loaders and anything else besides twrp.
You need to have same or newer bootloader version for your phone. Thats all.

Galaxy S6 Flat SM-G920W8 Flashing Error. Nand Write Start, FAIL! I dont know what top do,
My question is if i can flash G920F's Modem and Bootloader on my G920W8?
And why does it not say nand write start fail when i am flashing twrp?
why are you trying to flash a g920f to g920w8???
You should use the same firmware for your phone to prevent issues.
Rrgarding with your last 2 posts, it is contradicting, you mentioned you cannot flash anything besides twrp, but you followed it that you failed in flashing twrp.
If you encountered with flashing firmware, I suggest to use a G920W8 firmware that is latest. I assume you are using an old firmware. Tell us your current and your firmware you are flashing.
Where did you get the twrp version? Are you sure it is not corrupt? A valid ODIN file? .md5 or .tar?
You need to give us more details in your issues.
Nand write start fail
I have solved using Odin3 v3.10.7 with firmware VZW-G920VVRU4BOK7-20151211140939 and Windows 7 for Galaxy S6 SM-G920V
Ok guys, Could be a simple answer. I currently have an S6 and it is unlocked and currently on German Vodafone. I have attempted to revert it to BTU firmware as I'm in the UK. I followed all the available guides to achieve this via odin but it failed almost immediately. It failed at Hidden.img I think? Anyway the phone then failed to start up and took me straight to an error screen telling me to connect it to smart switch. I then found out how to fix it and managed it so phone up and running again. Is it possible to flash the BTU firmware in the first place?
Thanks
Come on guys, surely there must have been someone out there with the same problem as me and has managed to overcome it?
The answer is:
extract the Firmware with winrar and extract the hidden.img separat to your Desktop. rename it to hidden.img.tar and Flash that again (AP), after that your phone should reboot. if not, go into recovery make a reset. Here is a link in german:

That's how I solved the problem with the phone going into error. I need to know if it is possible to flash the firmware BTU to my phone?

It's 100% possible but check first if the rar file is not corrupted.
I had problem with corrupted files failed in odin.
Ok, I completed yet another download of the firmware for BTU but once again the flash failed. I had to carry out flash with hidden.img.tar in order to restore phone. I don't understand why this is happening? Any ideas?
Hello,
During an attempt to recover data on the phone after a factory reset mishap, the phone was rooted by a 3rd party program.
I wanted to do a fresh install of the stock firmware but I keep getting a fail message via Odin when trying to flash the firmware from the Unroot forum.
As posted in the title the current firmware is from the December update and I cannot for the life of me find a download for it. Am I missing something obvious here ?
If your goal is a fresh start on stock firmware, don't use any customised unroot firmware files.
Just go to sammobile.com or updato.com and download the correct stock firmware for your model, and flash all 4 firmware files (CP, CSC, AP, BL).
Flashing stock firmware via Odin will undo root, there's no need to use specific unroot firmware.

Sorry for hijacking the thread but I've a question that is somewhat connected to the OP's one.
Will flashing stock firmware with Odin check my void_warranty flag? I f***ed up and my S7 constantly talks that unauthorized actions have been detected.
Stock firmware via Odin will not trip knox or any warranty flags
Good day to all..recently i upgraded my j7 to oreo,but now i want to downgrade it because its too laggy..so i download nougat firmware at sammobile and use odin to flash it but keeps on failing.i followed all instruction
But still failed and im thinking the possible cause..
Maybe the file that i downloaded contains only 1 file which is for AP only..where i can get the other file for BL,CP and CSC?
hello guys!
I have a SM-G950FD (ZTO) rooted by magisk and TWRP recovery.
I need to perform updates by flash a zip or donwload via odin.
The problem is: when I try to update a firmware downloaded on Sammobile (tar.md5) via Odin it changes my recovery causing to lose all data.
This happen because on firmware that I donwload on Sammobile have a stock recovey included. Otherwise, if I use HOME_CSC will also cause lose data because of change on recovery.
I try a lot of things like, remove recovery file from the tar.md5, also try use Abyssal Kitchen, but I can't have sucess.
I ask for help plz! I just need upgrade my firmware without lose data by flash a update.zip or donwload a .tar via Odin using a firmware that I donwload from Sammobile.
Kind regards!
