[q] samsung galaxy s3 root accidentyl updated help

I have a rooted android device samsung galaxy s3 and it was running fine and everything till one day it said to install an update. i accepted it and while it was updating all of a sudden it went to that black screen and says, " system software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off you phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." Then thats where i couldn't do anyting with my phone but go to download/ODIN MODE and rebooting system thing where you can reboot system. IM very new and i don't know much about rooting and the meanings of a lot of words like unlock bootloader. If i go to ODIN MODE it says
ODINE MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-1535
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 Counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty bit: 1
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV:1
i think this doesn't look good. WHat should i do to make my phone be working again and not showing that black screen.
I already wiped all data and tried to do that StockROm thing on my computer ODIN and still nothing.
Is my bootloader locked? if so do i need to unlock it to make my phone work again? Thanks so much for your time

Same with mine I think it's called a bricked phone and think there is nothing we can do about it, hopefully someone has a solution

Might Work?

I dunno if this will work for you. But I had the same message and when I booted in Download mode I just hit Cancel then rebooted and it worked?

If you flashed cyanogenmod, that means you're bootloader is unlocked, which is a good thing.
Can you get into CWM or TWRP? I don't have a samsung so i don't know about ODIN (i presume it's like flashtools for Xperia).
For as long as your phone vibrates (or does pretty much anything when you boot it up) your phone is not hardbricked, which is also good .
Try getting into CWM, shut down your phone completely, wait 5 seconds, then do: Volume Down + Home + Power key . This will get you into bootloader state and try reflashing your old backup, a stock rom or cyanogenmod.
First time with these softbricks is always the most fun ^^. Been there done that, i thought i spend 250 euro's on a phone that was broken .
Btw. Always make a backup for these kind of situations.

You took the 4.3 update. You must now Odin to stock 4.3 to unbrick, do not Odin to any other (previous) version. There is a safe root method.
I do not think there is custom recovery and bootloader is now permalocked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270191 has a link to the odin file and the root method in post 2 or 3 i believe.

Ok how do i get it?

I just recently ODIN flashed the latest 4.3 stock firmware for my TMO GS3 and then attempted to roll back to 4.1.2. It didn't brick my device, but it didn't work either. I would simply fail to install. I was able to reflash, through ODIN, the 4.3 stock firmware (actually used the root66 version). Then I was able to ODIN flash CWM recovery and install Dandroid 5.1, which is also a 4.3 based ROM. All is well now. I guess I simply can't go back to any previous 4.3 ROMs now, and I'm not sure about any AOSP ROMs. I may give a try at some point to see.

[Completed] Softbricked Samsung galaxy S2X Andriod 4.1.2

I was installing Cyangenmod couple of months ago and i kinda messed up and my phone got softbricked and i didnt know what to do and the cell phone repair shop said he will charge $100 to fix it but i heard you can fix it for free i saw the post for the same problem but that phone had andriod 2.3 So can someone help me in un softbricking my phone and i dont have the backup files on my SD card do i tried looking for the andriod 4.1.2 rom but i couldnt find it so any help will be amazing

Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
Can you still boot to recovery? If so you can try the normal wipes in recovery and reboot, you can restore a nandroid backup if you ever made one, you can download another custom ROM for your model and try flashing it.
If none of that works and you can boot to download mode, you can flash the stock firmware, most Samsung firmwares are available at Sammobile.com and at samsung-updates.com, you will have to use your exact model number(located behind the battery), get the firmware for your exact model, it doesn't have to be 4.1.2, any firmware version will work as long as it is for your exact model number, it cannot be for another model number. If you want to root after restoring the stock firmware then you need to check if the firmware you find is rootable before you flash it, some are not rootable depending on your device.
When I search your model number on XDA, it comes up that your device is compatible with the T-Mobile custom ROMs, see if you can find one for download that doesn't have a dead link and flash it through recovery if you can get to recovery, dont forget ot get the right gapps to go with the ROM you find if you decide to go that route. The ROMs can be found in the forum linked below.

Help Needed unsoftbricking Galaxy Note 5 T-Mobile SM-N920T

I have rooted this phone and bricked it before, boy when will I ever learn, well this time for some reason Odin cant help me, I've tried and it always get hung up on nand. write then fails, I have tried switching usb ports, I have tried different stock firmware versions, I have tried different versions of odin, I have tried oneclick unroot, I am at a complete loss, is there anyone who can help me figure this out? I am pretty sure i didnt OEM unlock, and twrp is loaded on my phone but no OS apparently. i think i may remember ticking repartition with a sm-n920t pit file flashing with the stock firmware atleast once.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Note 5
Model: SM-N920T
S/W: N920TUVU2COI5

Try downloading the stock firmware from another site. I use to have the same problem. Make sure you download the correct stock firmware that matches the model number on the phone.

Download N920TUVU2COI5 firmware or download the latest N920TUVS4DPH2 firmware or just use smart switch emergency recovery option it should work

Grab the stock 5.1.1 Rom and load the tar in Odin bro

got one of these long ago for bricking issues.....

How exact a version of Odin do I need?

I have a SM-G930S S7 phone I just purchased. I finally found a CF version exactly specific to my phone, NRD90M.G930SKSU1DQJ1 , which just came out Nov 1, 2017.
I know this question may seem over-kill, but I'm getting pretty cautious in my 70's. It's taking longer and longer to remember what I'm doing, between the steps to go get the tool to fix it!
I have a file CF for the G930S, "J" version. Does Odin also need to be exact to NRD90M.G930SKSU1DQJ1 as well, or is Odin a general app which takes the specific ROM file?
Thank you.

ODIN is just a generic Samsung flash tool, always use the latest version for new phones / firmware
ODIN 3.12.10 is the latest I believe, but 3.12.3 or newer should work fine

Durham, thank you.
Off to rooting tomorrow.

I would look into CF a bit more too, might be fine but I have seen a lot of people having problems trying to root with CF (Bricked phones)
TWRP & SuperSU seems to be the preferred method
I haven't rooted mine so just going on what I've read here over the last year+ of owning the S7
Rooting the S7 isn't the same easy task it used to be with say the S5, encryption and other things that need to be disabled first
And make sure you enable OEM Unlock in developer Options before flashing anything custom, and DO NOT turn it back off again while you are custom or you will brick
That is the bootloader unlock

Help?

The firmware that you are trying to flash is giving you the sw rev error because that firmware is an older/downgraded version than the version that is already on the phone. You have to flash the firmware that is the same as what is already on the device or a newer version, you can't flash an older version. Find the newest, most updated firmware that you can find for your specific model number.
Do a Google search for:
"Stock firmware for SM-G935FD"
Then find the newest available version that is made for your specific region/carrier.
