Beta program has been closed... you can flash Ap and CP but not the bootloader if the current one os newer than the one you trying to flash... you will get sboot fail in odin

Root isn't supported on the latest ota firmware, it's only supported on the version it was when you got it...
You can download a firmware from sammobile and flash it with odin, then root it

Odin flash failed, device 3, binary 2. Help needed!

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.

Your Odin error is due to flashing older firmware version ( Bootloader)
The firmware you mentioned above is the latest version 3 bootloader so you should be able to flash that.
Latest version firmware is G955FXXU4CRI5 (September with bootloader ver 4) if you want to update to the latest firmware.
Flashing the firmware will replace your recovery.
You can use this to find the latest firmware for your phone
