Sprint Galaxy S5 (SM-G900P)
So, this all started with me trying to downgrade from lollipop to kitkat using ODIN.
ODIN shows:
FAIL! (Auth)
My phone says:
SW REV CHECK FAIL: [aboot] fused 3 > binary 1
After trying a bunch of things, I went into recovery mode/ and formatted everything, including firmware/modem.
Now, II was able to get a ROM running by installing through sideload, but it says invalid sim. This is the factory sim that came with my phone.
I've already tried another working sprint sim, and same result. So I know its not the card.
Also, when II go into recovery/mount and unmount/ it shows firmware and modem unmounted. When I try to mount them, it gives an error.
I thought to flashfirmware, but Odin fails every time.
Help!

My guess your phone firmware is od3 or newer. Since this is probably true it means you cannot downgrade to kit kat or any firmware older then the current one. I would suggest downloading the latest firmware which OK4 or something to that affect. It was release like maybe a week ago or so. Odin that which shouldn't fail. That should get you able to get her running. I am not sure why you'd want go back to running Kit Kat but you'd want to root the phone or re-root. Then flash a KK ROM only flash. Which would probably have to be a custom one. That might work.

Thanks for responding!
I wanted to downgrade to try an unlock method that requires 4.4.2 or earlier. But know I just want my phone back in proper order.
I found out I was using OA6. Three versions have come out since. I am downloading the latest one now (OG1). I'll let you know if it works.
You were right, a new version came out on 12/2 (OK4). I downloaded it and it flashed over! No errors!
But, it is still is not reading the sim. I can only get 3G connectivity. No LTE. I still cannot mount the firmware or modem in philz touch recovery.
Any ideas?

theres a dialer code that will reset the entire modem and all data. you may have to reactivate in the settings menu after. (takes 10 secs to reactivate as long as you are not roaming)
if all else fails. go to phone dialer type in ##SCRTN# it will reset your entire data profile. good luck

You did download the drivers for odin? Probably did but I'm just trying to cover everything. When trying to update firmware:
Make sure you get a good download.
Unzip your file and move the Tar file to your desktop.
Make sure debugging is on on your device.
Dnt use a cheap usb cord
Fire up odin
Power your device down completely. Even try a battery pull then do the 3 button combo. Power/vol down/home button all at the same time to get into download mode
Plug in your device and a com number should appear in the upper left indication box.

I used those 2 threads trying unlock my L720, I followed everything up and It went smoothly It worked with (Simple mobile & Straight talk att sim card) but I was not getting a constant service, decided to go back to sprint and then, just trying to go back to stock firmware!
I am getting "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.." in Odin every time that I try MDC, MK2 Stock firmwares says "FAIL! (Auth)" ?????
The only tar that is working is MDC modem tar found on the 1st thread used to downgrade modem to MDC, even though I was in NG2 which is the latest i was stock and rooted!
Then the phone boot up there's no sound no WiFi touch problems or is it the phone is really slow!?. I did a factory reset and nothing!
Another thing, but I noticed this since unlocked it! there is a picture too! Baseban and build are different!
Please any help would be appreciatte it!1 Thank you!

*flashed XtreStoLite 2.4 (5.1.1) via twrp > (everything still working)
after several months
*flashed new 6.0.1 bootloader and modem via odin and tried to flash XtreStoLite 3.0 (6.0.1) via twrp > got stuck in bootloop...
*used smart switch to go back to stock 6.0.1> Everthing was OK until about a month later the phone suddenly restarted and doesn't recognize the sim card
* I tried factory reset
* I tried samsung but they gave it back saying I've tripped my knox flag
*I flashed 6.0.1 XtreStoLite bootloader, modem and TWRP again via odin
*I flashed XteStoLite 3.3.1 (6.0.1)
*I tried restoring from the first nandroid (stock 5.1.1 from the begining) and got stuck in bootloop again.
*reflashed XtreStoLite 3.3.1 (6.0.1) and tried restoring only the efs. still doesn't work.

I saw some threads talking about octoplus box but I still have my efs Backed up my and SN and IMEI still show up.
Please help me I am here I am willing to learn and search online. I've tried everything i've found online.
Hi.
Try to use Smart Switch > Software Update and Initialization to recover your firmware, hopefully you get your network back.
Tell me what happens, gl.
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA-Developers mobile app
almost same thing on a long thread here, no solution so far:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/g920f-network-issues-t3291903
I am seriously considering it could be sim reader issue, or some cold solder somwhere on mbo.
My IMEI was also showing in settigs, but when dialed *#0011#, in stack 1, there was "IMEI NG", after write cert operation via octoplus, it says IMEI OK now, but NO SIM, and no mobile networks menu still.
Same like you SIM is detected when inserted or removed, and phone offers restart to access mobile networks, but after restart nothing changes, KNOX tripped by previous owner, phone was in three 3rd party repair shops, where they made even bigger mess than it was, when I brought it to them.
i had the same issue when i upgraded to mm so i sent to shop they had to downgrade it to 5.1.1 and use octobox to fix it
Thanks for replying Legend.
But even though I did the software Initialization in smart switch once before it is not working for me now.
I've tried twenty time while reinstalling and restarting the pc I even tried a different pc I get the same error message every time. "failed to run firmware upgrade unknown error occurred".
any other thing to try?
you could try to restore that backup you have, from when everything worked and then flash 5.1.1. bootloader and modem for that csc via odin before rebooting
According to Smart Switch with your sn it is ILO so you need 5.1.1 bootloader and modem from ILO 4 file fw package.
*I just managed to flash stock 6.0.1 via odin (even though It failed at hidden.img... it boots normally) still no sim card tough.
*I realized that maybe all of this happened because when I flashed stock via smart switch for the first time I didn't have my original s/n so I put one from the internet and it wasn't my region.
meaning I flashed stock of UK and it still worked for a month or so, so that's weird...
*Thank you brenner that is a good idea and I will try now
question how do I extract the bootloader and modem out of the fw? I just open the tar archive and take the boot.img and modem.bin files and flash them as is?
nvm found a guide

There are .tar-s which are single file, and 4 files, the ones with 4 files has separate bl/modem
btw, isnt sn written on back of the phone, along with IMEI?
OK, I've flashed the nandroid stock 5.1.1 (LMY47X.G920FXXU3COJ1) and its bootloader and modem from sammobile.. still doesn't work!!
How can this be? everthing is EXACTLY the way it was when it was working!
and no, my model at least doesn't have the S/N and IMEI written at the back, and I didn't keep the box
any other suggestion anyone?
*also there are so many post in subject if I ever find a solution I will make a guide.
-bump-
still no solution..
I've flashed back to current stock ILO...
Meanwhile looking for a lab with octoplus box, still would love solving this at home
At home or not, I would like to solve it too
Bought a second hand S6 the other day and was working perfectly fine until I carried out the update. Now on 6.0.1 and am getting the exact same problem, my SIM works in every other phone. Has anyone found a solution for this?
Not that I know of, except hw replacement, which cost as a used phone with 1+ years of warranty (6 months warranty on motherboard after replacement, on motherboard only)
But I am willing to donate to whoever finds a solution for it.
No i think your problem is a S/W problem, i have 2 G920F with this problem, one of them is 3 binary and another is 4 binary FW, now i work on it if i can solve this problem i told you here.

I have a Galaxy s7 SM-G930T and I have went through countless of thread and tried many solutions that worked for other people but I can't seem to get my phone to work. A couple of days ago I tried installing XDA framwork through FlashFire and that got my phone stuck at the T-Mobile screen for hours. I tried flashing the stock firmware that I got off of one of the threads here and I keep getting the error "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [SYSTEM] FUSED 3 > BINARY ." I tried many different stock firmware and they don't seem to work. Also when I try to boot in recovery mode I go in a loop. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: When I was able to get into recovery mode I got this error:"dm-verity verification system"
Some of the solutions that I tried include: Using a different cable, using a different usb port, and trying many different Odin version. None of them seem to work.
You've tried the G930TUVU4APK1 firmware? This is the latest firmware prior to the Nougat beta. As long as your flashing all the correct items (AP, BL, CP, CSC) it should go through with no issues. How are you flashing it through Odin, step by step? What Firmware version are you using?
Here's another method, although I've had limited success (watch the video): https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...p/flash-stock-firmware-using-samsung-t3079176
The post is about the S6 Edge but the process is the same. You'll need your phone's serial number, which should be on the box it came in. Not sure where to find it if you can't boot (maybe on your T-Mobile account online?).
Edit: Here is a link to the latest T-Mobile firmware. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1YW4xR_q5t5UDktc1lSVUFFdGM/view?usp=sharing

Thanks! It worked. I believe I was using older firmware when I tried to flash.

Glad to hear it!
I'm about ready to throw this phone out the window, and hoping someone here can help me out...
My wife ordered a never used g955u off of ebay. It came with Oreo installed. It had the CRE9 firmware installed. We are on Page Plus (Verizon reseller). We put in her SIM card, went through setup, but we are not able to make phone calls. The SIM card works fine on her old phone. I reset the network settings to no avail.
I did a network search and selected Verizon Wireless, but it times out and gives the error :
No Service
Selected network (Verizon Wireless) not available
I talked to Page Plus, and everything looks fine on their end, they say it's something in the phone.
I suspect it's something in the radio settings, but I'm locked out of the service menu. I factory reset the phone, and that didn't fix it either.
I've been down several rabbit holes since then.
I tried to follow the steps in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/carrier-switch-snapdragon-t3615680 hoping that if they can make non-verizon phones work on verizon, then it can make a verizon phone work on verizon. I also tried to root the phone using this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...root-g955u-g955u1-snapdragon-sampwnd-t3658911 hoping to get access to the service menu.
But evertime I tried to flash any of the necessary binaries, I got Fail! (auth) and the phone gave the error:
sw rev check fail : [boot]Fused 3 > Binary 1
or
sw rev check fail : [boot]Fused 2 > Binary 1
Turns out, you can't downgrade. And all the binaries in the tutorials are now downgrades.
Somehow in all this, I managed to flash the phone to CRD4. I tried flashing back to CRE9, but regular Odin fails without telling me what the error is, and Comsy Odin gives a model dismatch fail.
I tried connecting the phone to Kies, but it gives me the error "only the device owner can connect to kies" even though I'm running Kies as administrator.
I've ordered a new SIM card from PP, just in case that fixes it, but I'm losing hope here. If anyone can help me out here, I'd really appreciate it. If there's anymore information you need, let me know and I'll post it.

So I know Odin 3.13 at least. But other than that with Oreo I don't know
I wanted to stop by and mention I am having nearly the identical issues. I bought a used Verizon Galaxy S8 from somebody today, and even ensured that the IMEI was supported by Page Plus beforehand. I tried using an existing, working SIM card of mine from Page Plus but found that it did not work automatically as it should have. After going through four customer service representatives, I was told that my phone is somehow not compatible. Still, I think I may have a slightly different situation going on... I was told it would not work because there is no "LTE/CDMA" option in the "Network Mode" setting. Instead, upon inserting the existing SIM into the new phone, my Network Mode setting only has access to "LTE/3G/2G (auto connect)", "3G/2G (auto connect)", "3g Only", "2G Only" options.
When I put the SIM back into my working phone, it gives me the correct network options. For some reason, this new phone is not allowing me to connect to the Verizon network at all.
You've taken a lot more steps than I have... I figured it could be an issue with Android Oreo, but I am really not looking to delve into the degrading process. I will also order a new SIM and see if that magically fixes things, but it's starting to look like a lost cause.
Let me know if you figure something out - you are the ONLY person online I have found with my identical (or near identical) issues. If you happen to know any way around the exact issue I'm having with the Network Mode, that would be insanely cool.
Ive read other posts and searched the web but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I have an old s6 I was about to sell so I downloaded the official 7.0 from samfirm and started installing via Odin. At a certain point in system.bin it freezes for 30 minutes. I pull the plug on it. I'm supposed to meet the guy in 2 hours at that point and I download multiple different vwz firmware for the s6 and eventually am able to boot up again. The problem now is that a stock firmware won't completely work (modem.bin) and the older versions from updato work except for system.bin.
So now I have access to my phone but when I go to login its samsung account locked. I try to type in my username and pass and it says "Invalid ID or password" and I even reset it but it still says invalid. I can see the phone on my "samsung wheres my device" website, but I cannot unlock it because it says radio is off.
Edit: Forgot to mention I tried to update from 6.0 to 7.0. Tried multiple 7.0 firmware and attempted to revert back to 6.0.1. I honestly don't know what firmware i'm on now.
It says im on FA50_g920vru4AOJ2.
I'm in the US.
So im wondering since i've frankensteined these firmwares together, is this radio issue because I've flashed a different vzw modem? When it's plugged into my PC it says device not supported. When do a factory reset I assumed it reset the modem back to factory as well.
I can post pictures if need be of the phone showing up in my samsung account so you don't think I'm doing something shady.
