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

hello guys,
yesterday i bought a galaxy s6 (g920f). it got the 1&1 branding but its simlock free. i just read about, that i can use this fw G920FXXU1AOE3_G920FDBT1AODQ_G920FXXU1AOE3_HOME.tar (5.02), flash it with odin, after that a wipe and than update to 5.1.1 with smartswitch. than i got a complete debranded dbt firmware.
ok, thought it would be easy ;P - a ran in conflicts now. odin got errors on flashing. every time it failed flashing. i read about the "hidden.img". i should extract the firmwarefile with 7zip, delete the hidden.img and after that i have to make a new .tar (not tar.md5, cause i will get md5 errors in odin, already tested ) - still fail on flashing....
than i found a pit file, but i dont know how to handle that. i never done that and dont know, whats happening when im flashing it and i dont even know which i have to download.
here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/g920f-pit-file-banded-firmwares-t3118459
hope someone can help me.
best regards taker-`
//edit: meanwhile i triggert knox, so i tried to flash twpr and try to flash the dbt 5.1.1 firmware with the recovery....recoveryflashing also failed - why?
Are you using the official Samsung cable? Odin is very picky about usb cables. How many times did you try? I recently unrooted using Odin, and the first time it failed as well for no reason. I just reconnected the usb cable and tried again, then it worked.
i used the original cable, but i also tried a original cable from a galaxy s5 and s4. same error all the time.
i flashed my s5 with the same cable, same odin version...i want it on stock firmware, cause i sold it. that worked well, but with the s6, it dont work.
Flash this stock 5.1.1 ROM via odin to debrand your G920F.

Hi,
I have a G920F, I was rooted and want to go to stock again. I have restored the device with Smart Switch, but now I am unable to flash any other rom. I have downloaded 3 different roms from Sammobile and get sw. check failed device 3 binary 2 at everyone. The current rom is form Italy Wind the latest OI9. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, probably you trying to install oldest firmware 5.0.1, download the latest firmware and try again. You are with 5.1, right? This error on odin happens, because you cannot downgrade the firmware. Hope this helps.
I think you can not downgrade even if it is the same Android version.
If it detects you are on a newer bootloader it will give you that error.
What I belive you can do is to extract the bootloader (sboot) and modem from the .tar file and flash ONLY the system through Odin.
Don't know exactly how to do that because I haven't done it but I think that would do; you will have to search and read my friend.
You will have the stock firmware but with latest bootloader and modem.
Hope this helps.
Note: As far as I know this will work if its the same Andorid version; you can not have Android 5.0.2 with 5.1.1 bootloader.

Hi,
I have tried what you said, but no succes. The firmware was already recovered with smart switch so the bootloader is the latest.

But did you try to flash without the bootloader and modem?
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:
https://www.androidpit.de/forum/670145/samsung-galaxy-s6-s6-update-problem-hidden-img-fail
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?
Hi, I have been trying to downgrade my s7 to 6.0.1 and I downloaded all the correct firmware files and flashed it in odin but it failed on system img.
I then tried to flash back to the latest rom and it failed on that too. So after seeking advice someone told me to check the erase nand option in odin so I did that with still no luck. I've even tried to flash the pit file for my device and nothings working...
If anyone can help or give me any pointers that would be Great, TIA.

To flash it back to your Stock Nougat Rom you have to download the correct firmware for your country, place the files in the right tabs with Odin then flash. It's very very easy and there are lots of tutorials on how to do it. If the process stops at "initialisation" then the EFS partition is corrupt and needs to be flashed first.
Also please note you cannot downgrade to an older boot loader, that means once you have upgraded to Nougat 7 the boot loader is binary 2 and you cannot downgrade it to binary 1 which is what MM uses.
The only way to flash back to a previous version of Android is to flash a custom rom with the old boot loader but it is a slightly complicated process for the beginner
Thanks I've used odin loads in the past. Just haven't had any need to for a year or so so I'm a bit behind.
I've just downloaded the right firmware again. Does it matter if the nand has been erased or that the pit file has been changed?

Yes, it does, its part of the EFS partition, Try flash with new firmware if no joy then you need an image of EFS partition to flash first.
Hi y'all
So basically I've followed the https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html tutorial to the T . However, my phone has booted into download mode instead of, well, rooted android with the error ODIN MODE(AVB FAIL) Error verifying vbmeta: Hash Mismatch (3).

How can I at least bring it into a flashable state?

You should still be able to flash an unmodified full stock firmware or a stock combination firmware to possibly repair any damage then flash the full stock firmware. Try using the "repartition" setting in Odin when you flash the stock firmware, it may or may not also require flashing the firmware along with the PIT file for your specific model number. Your PIT file may be available for download or you may be able to extract it from the firmware files.
