Hi guys,
I've got a SM G9208, which came from Taiwan.
Yesterday I tried to install TWRP 2.8.7.2 and when it booted, it is non responsive, I couldn't press anything and couldn't swipe where it says swipe for modification at the bottom. This is flashed through the TWRP manager thingy.
So I thought i might as well go back to stock recovery because I can't seem to boot into the phone at all with this recovery. So I downloaded G9208ZMU2COK8_G9208CHM2COK8_G9208ZMU2COK8_HOME.tar.md5 from the sammobile website thinking that thats the one i needed, which turns out to be a mistake. Now my phone's got a chinese firmware, instead of the taiwan firmware. I tried to flash the taiwan firmware G9208ZTU1BOH2_G9208ZZT1BOH2_BRI, but it says sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1. I think this is because the bootloader for the china one is newer than the taiwan one?
Does anyone know how I can install the taiwan rom now?
also, i've tried flashing TWRP 2.8.60, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 all to no avail.
I couldn't use my sim at all previously, but then i flashed the taiwan modem.bin and at least I have signal now.
Thanks!

Hi,
I´m a neewbie to Samsung. My phone is a S6 SM-G920F, Baseband G920FXXU1AOCW
I came form an HTC and I´ve seen that flashing things are very different. So here are my questions:
1. I think, my bootloader is unlocked but I didin´t know for sure. So how can I check this?
(My HTV showed me this by using fastboot, didn´t know if there is fastboot with Samsung and how to start it - only know the download-mode and how to enter TWRP recovery)
2. Flashing firmware via Odin (i. e. from sammobile.com) means to loose my root again, right?
3. If I loose root, where do I get custom Firmwares and how do I flash them (if this is possible)?
4. If not, is it enough to flash bootloader and modem through Odin?
All answers are appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
Maybe someone can link me to an step to step instruction...
Fastboot is android doesn't matter who makes the phone.
If you flash a rom from sammobile then you will go to whichever stock you pick.
Other ROMs are available here. The phone is new. There aren't many yet. Cyanogen mod isn't available yet.
Root is available by flashing cfautoroot with Odin. You will need to get the specific one.
You can replace the recovery by flashing twrp team win recovery project with Odin.
You can flash boot loader and modem. Make sure you get the right region. The modem frequencies are different in different places.
You may find flashing a whole ROM even stock will fail. This is because the partitions are not the same size for all s6 stock ROMs. Don't ask me why. You can open the tar find which file stopped the flash delete it from the tar and flash again.

Thanks for answering. My questions had an other intention, I think.
My S6 is already rooted and I have a custom recovery (TWRP) :good:
I would like to know if you have to flash a whole firmware or only bootloader/modem? Because I didn´t seen a post here for a full firmware yet.
I am not familiar with the differences between htc whole firmware and samsung bootloader/modem
Actually I am on Firmware G920FXXU1AOCW. But there are newer ones like XXU1AOE3 or XXU1AOE4.
In the days of my htc you couldn´t flash only bootloader or modem, you had to flash a whole firmware (like radio, drivers, bootloader, modem etc.)
Flashing only modem and bootloader will it update i. e. touchscreen drivers? If not, where do I get this ones? You know, because of root I don´t get OTA´s anymore...
The modem just controls how your phone hardware connects to carrier towers etc.
The boot loader is a tiny thing that tells the processor where and how to load the OS.
The software for pretty much everything is in /system.
Many of these releases are the same software, region specific. The dates are fairly unimportant for the same version number. They generally reference the time when they were uploaded by someone. Not that they have updates and fixes.
Just wanted to know can I change my phone logo MetroPCS to say T-mobile with all the T-mobile add on. I have a Samsung Galaxy s6 by MetroPCS
I flashed my stock firmware and my phones telling me to install DRK i would like to know how to do this my phone model is the Canadian variant(G920W8)
And the firmware version was for marshmellow
bro, do you flashed latest 6.0.1 if not try flashed latest version and after that make factory reset and wipe cash. also if flashed 1 file firmware not work with you so you have to flash 4 file firmware of your device.. you can use samfirm tprograme to find your 4 file firmware. and every thing will be fine
Hey.
Just installed TWRP from the guide on XDA (will post link later). Odin worked, everything was OK. Until I installed a ROM.
I have tried 4 different ROMs withone outcome - phone wont get past first boot screen - the one witn Samsung S-+ Powered by Android. No matter the minutes I wait, it just stays there. No Samsung logo as normal boot is displayed.
I can freely get to recovery or bootloader. But there is a problem - I dont know the precise string full model number after G955F*. Therefore I dont know what stock image or bootloader to choose.
My questions:
1. How to get back to working phone?
2. How to check the full model number in this situation?
TWRP works perfectly. Odin works. Just System wont boot...
Thanks in advance!

Did you flash magisk before the first boot ?
Did you forget to OEM Unlock ?
Did you flash the right firmware for your device ?
If you forgot to OEM Unlock your royally screwed, follow the steps again to the letter and try CF-Autoroot or magisk after first boot.
Tried both Magisk and SuperSu, both no luck. I did update the phone via OTA, did not flash anything besides TWRP via Odin. Both Magisk and SuperSu were part of AROMA for the ROM.
I have G955F European version. Can I flash any ROM from Any country that matches the model name (via Odin) or do I need specific version that corresponds with my previous stock ROM verson (string after G955F*).
I did unlock OEM on stock ROM before TWRP flash. Downloader mode shows Unlocked True.

That's exactly what i did for mine, odd try flashing the bat stock ROM, also fash the Notorious kernel.
You CSC in aroma should be set to multi ( it's the default selection ) keep everything stock when you flash the ROM and see if it boots before falshing anything else, there is a newer TWRP now ending 3.1.1-1.
Strange thing is, whenever I turn on my phone it boots straight to Recovery - like there's no system partition.
I will download and try BatStock. Should I upgrade bootloader & modem through Odin?
I'm also thinking about flashing stock ROM through Odin. Maybe this will work?
Also, it's strange - I don't see any other files than TWRP folder when I connect the phone to PC.
Installed BatStock Rom, same thing happens - stuck on SAMSUNG Galaxy S8+ Powered by Android and nothing happens.
BatStock ROM in Aroma has option to flash bootloader and modem. Should I use it?
My model is G955N for LGu+ Korean variant.
I wiped my device and got google lock, so I installed the Nougat stock rom, and my phone has been bricked.
What can I do? Plz help me
Just download this software and flash it via Odin. (Instructions on the downside of the page from the link)
You should be good afterwards
Hey guys! I have a problem. I have flashed on my Galaxy S7 (Exynos version) the galaxy Note Fan Edition Port rom a couple of weeks ago, but now I flashed the latest stock firmware from Sammobile via odin and it always fails at the bootloader. I don't know why? I searched for many hours for a solution, but nothing works.... I hope somebody could help me
Here is the link for the note fan edition rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7...-galaxy-note-fan-edition-port-vol1-0-t3633626
OEM unlock on?
Could also be that the latest bootloader prevents rolling back, so if you're trying to go from a newer bootloader to an older one it won't let you. You can probably just exclude the BL file and be fine.
Is that Fan Edition ROM you flashed not a S7 Edge rom made to work on the S7..! Maybe your phone shows up as a G935 now?
I have flashed android 8.0 manually from sammobile via odin and it got stuck on emergency recovery and I somehow got it into the download mode and every time I want to flash my stock firmware it says device 2 binary 1...

PLEASE HELP ME

Hi! Same error but different situation.
I was on the latest firmware 8.0 ITV, I wanted to downgrade to nougat, so I downloaded the first 7.0 firmware BTU (the one that was the best for my S7).
I opened all the firmware files on odin 3.13.1 and I started the procedure but at a certain point everything stopped, on odin the message "failed" appeared and on the phone the message "sw rev check fail (bootloader) device 2 binary 1".
I tried with a different version of odin but the message remains the same, I also tried without flashing the BL file but nothing ... In the end I had to flash again the latest firmware oreo ITV and no errors appeared, but I find myself at the starting point
specific that my S7 has never had modding operations, the knox counter is perfectly at 0x0, I have always used only original firmware and never had problems with odin.
How can I downgrade without having in that error?
Hi just flash this version of latest nougat G930FXXS2DRDI, this is binary 2 firmware (XEO)
