Well, I was trying to install Masik Marshmallow 1.1 into my s6 (sm-920F) using Heimdall, an open source alternative to Odin.
The only thing that I remember that I have done wrong is that I tried to flash bootloader onto the wrong partition. I wrote "heimdall flash --BOOT MM+bootloader.tar" instread of "heimdall flash --BOOTLOADER MM+bootloader.tar" And i remember that I successfuly flashed the file in the wrong partition.
Now I cant flash anything into the BOOTLOADER partition, I tried Odin from my father's windows PC but nothing.
Please Help! I would like if someone could send me the original content of the boot partition. I'm downloading firmwares looking for that file but I only have 3mbps so it might take a while

Samsung Galaxy S3(SCH-I535)
I think my recovery.img file was bad because I am stuck in odin(downloading,,,).(dd copied something) Odin can see the phone but adb cannot. I just want to flash a new recovery. I have multiple img files but I cannot find a tarball for this version of the S3.
Where can I find a recovery tarball that will work with odin? I do not want to load a new rom just fix the booting.
Thanks
Hey guys i need help. I recently rooted my samsung galaxy trend gt-s7392, so that i can install a custom rom. I have used odin and installed cwm and then installed twrp mod for my device. I still havent wiped my system rom but inorder to install the custom rom i was trying to format the /data partition but for some reason it was stuck in cwm. So i switched to twrp to tackle the problem. But according to logcat , twrp is unable to mount the /data partition and the /data partition shows 0mb in total size and in free space. I cannot mount or format the /data partition but all other partitions are working well and can be mounted and formatted. And if i try to reboot my system in its current state then it just gets stuck in a bootloop. Please tell me what to do so that i can mount and format the /data partition to install the stock or any custom rom. Any help is appreciated. Please help!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. You shouldn't have both CWM and TWRP on your phone at the same time. Something didn't work right right when you tried to replace cwm with twrp. You might have to return your device to stock and start over.

Please help i think i have messed it up pretty bad. My phone boots into recovery but it only shows loading bar in cwm and the picture of an android. I can still boot into download/odin mode but my phone can neither boot into system nor can i use adb shell commands. I cannot even use cwm recovery sice it only shows loading. Please Please Please Help!!!!
Don't panic. Unfortunately there is not a specific forum for your device on XDA. But what you'll want to do is flash the stock firmware in odin.
- Goggle odin 3.07 xda. Extract that and install it on your pc.
- Download the stock firmware from sammobile.com You have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip or winrar to extract it. You'll end up with a .tar.md5 file. That's what you'll use in odin.
- Star odin on your pc
- Put your device in download mode and connect it to your pc with the usb cable
- Using the PDA slot in odin find the .tar.md5 file
- Only have f. reset and auto-reboot checked in odin. DO NOT have re-partition checked.
- run odin
Note: odin can be finicky. Use the usb ports in the back of the PC. You might have to try different usb ports and cables
Hello everyone. So, let's start by explaining what I have did.
For a while I had the XtreStolite Odex 2.0 edition and I wanted to try out other ROM. I have factory reset-ed when I was installing the ROM using TWRP and I somehow managed to delete all the phone's internal stuff, but I can still boot to TWRP or download mode.
I have tried to flash stock firmware using Odin 3.10.6 ( running as administrator too ) and when it gets to sboot.bin it fails right away. I have tried using Samsung Smart Switch PC Software, tells me my device is unsupported. If I try to manually find my model using the S/N, the software fully downloads then gives me an error.
I have tried to ADB sideload from TWRP Advanced menu, whenever I want to flash for example xtrestolite odex zip ( named rom.zip for short ) it goes "serving:... 21%" and gets stuck. If I try to push a zip it says "error:closed". I am no big expert in ADB, I don't know how to install the latest version, and I can't download the full Android SDK because my internet is very slow. I had Bootloader and Modem 5.1.1
I am looking for a way to move the XtreStolite ROM zip into the phone's memory so I can boot to TWRP and install the ROM. I've seen something with OTG Cable and USB but I have no real knowledge of these. If it comes as a last resort, if someone could briefly explain me how would I manage to repair the phone using the OTG Cable and USB stick.
I also have a Nandroid Backup on my PC but I don't know how to move it to the phone's storage, because it's well, bricked. When I'm trying to copy files over Mount option in TWRP, it says that it cannot copy the file, the device may be disconnected.
I had Bootloader and Modem 5.1.1, also Windows 10. I can go back to 7 or 8.1 anytime it's needed.
Much appreciations.
EDIT: I actually repaired it by flashing a stock firmware downloaded from xda ( God bless you whoever linked the mega.co.nz stock fw link ) . Thread can be deleted.
You can also flash these via odin.

Edit:
Since I got no replies I figured I would change up my question to maybe make it easier to understand.
Does anyone know how to flash bootloader files in TWRP for a G955U?
Example:
-abl.elf/xbl.elf/tz.mbn/storsec.mbn/sec.dat/rpm.mbn/pmic.elf/NON-HLOS.bin/msadp.mbn/etc......
To their correct partitions
-sdd1 rpm/sdd2 tz/sdd3 hyp/sdd4 fsg/sdd5 sec/sdd6 pmic/sdd7 dsp/sdd8 abl/etc...
Phone usb port is dead and can't use download mode to flash. I have gotten a update.zip on PartyCyborg and tried to take it but fails when it gets to about 20% and give a "Single-SKU" error.
I have also tried to update with FlashFire after decompressing the lz4 files and it misses things like abl.elf and other bootloader files so after it's done installing the system just reboots with the standard Samsung splash and doesn't do anything, and since the usb doesn't work I can't flash with odin.
Does anyone now how to get the phone to update while being on a factory binary(used for root) and get to a stock rom with no usb.
Well,i tried getting TWRP for this phone,and well,it worked. One hour later i reboot the phone to install a gsi and i get the error that "The phone has been flashed with unauthorized software". I tried getting the stock firmware,and well,i did get it,but for some reason i cant extract the "AP" tar,but all else works. So i tried to flash stock vbmeta,and well,i get a different error now,that the firmware mismatches some kind of key. and now i cant use the phone,unless i get stock recovert
and also i cant just flash the zip because im on linux and cant use odin
You can use Odin4 for Linux to flash back the stock firmware package. Your error is probably happening due to flashing a stock vbmeta img, you need a patched one in order to be able to run custom software in your phone.
