Just flash full stock firmware using odin. Your phone should be Samsung SM-N900A. Pls check and BE SURE if its really like that before flashing anything provided in my post.
Here you can doenload the stock firmware AT&T and Odin --> http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=25106
You should install latest Samsung USB drivers --> download USB driver
For safety measures you should perform a EFS Backup using this APP
You personal data will be deleted during the flash process so take care of making a backup of everything you need.
Thats just what you need i suppose

Why should it not be possible to flash a older firmware? The point is that i have found just that version for your phone. Official firmware flashing via Odin will not affect KNOX. You can perform OTA update to newer version later i think. Just keep the EFS backup in mind

thanks

Can you post full error description pls. NOT ONLY "odin fails"...

custom binary blocked by frp lock

Got myself in a bind. Bought a new Note 5 today to upgrade to 64GB. Forgot to OEM unlock, and the phone is bricked for the moment. The new image N920TUVU3DPG1 isn't available to download yet. Any suggestions, or does anyone know where the new image can be found yet? What a rookie mistake! Smart Switch in emergency recovery tries to flash N920TUVU2DPD1 and fails. Downgrading doesn't work either.

same here. where can we get it from?

Just downgrade to an older version via Odin if possible. It can be done on Verizon so I don't see why not on yours.

I tried the previous version while in download mode using Odin. Loaded the stock rom in the AP slot and started it then it failed pretty quick. The com shows connected before I hit start but it still fails.

You have to make sure you have the correct firmware! You should be able to see which one is already on the phone while in recovery mode.

Hope u fixed ur problem, I'm still on Note 4, was waiting for u to fix the new firmware for us last month, and now we just got another one, so shocked Samsung is actually taking care of the Note 4 N910T,
My rom boots up, but can't see sim card, external storage, wifi doesn't connect and so forth, I guess they did something with the new MM that @dsixda kitchen doesn't work correctly somewhere anymore,
need to learn Ubuntu, not easy with no help,,, I made an external drive with 16.04 but need to java development and figure the rest out, not easy with 2 kids.. and wifey..
and u r also in FL, by the way thanks for the updater script for the past v5.1.1 roms we had...
Samsung keeps raising prices on these phones, ridiculous no reason the new Note 7 will be $849 cause they r only making egde style phones.
I'm glad they pushed me to my limits, first it was HTC, I had all the HTC phone till M7, for when they had the first tmobile dash windows phone.. haha..
don't know whats next, maybe crapple... no rush since the note 4 is still rocking good,
but the Note 7, water resistence is awesome is the only kool thing I guess.

Seems like I'm having the same problem frp lock and drk has anyone found a solution yet. I can't seem to find any way to fix this yet. Appreciate any help in advance

I could help with this issue, just let me know if you need my assistant I would have to remotely do this to accomplish this thanks..

Trying to unroot a Galaxy S6...losing the will to live :(

Can anyone help? I spent a big chunk of my hard earned money on a refurbed S6 for my daughter, she's had it about a week (she's Pokemon mad btw). The latest update for Pokemon Go came out and now she's blocked from the game as it appears the phone has been rooted. If I'd known, I wouldn't have bought it. Anyway, for the last 2 days my partner and I have been trying to unroot it. We've used various versions of Odin to no avail. I had a lot of trouble finding the right firmware because it looks like the phone was Polish according to the version and CSC numbers, and tbh I'm still not sure if we're trying the right one. Software is 5.1.1. right now. I've tried installing SuperSU but it won't run, it just crashes the phone and forces a reboot. We've tried manually unrooting with a file manager but the su files we need to delete reappear seconds after they're deleted. I'm at the end of my tether, does anyone have any ideas?

You won't be able to unroot it until you flash stock firmware. I don't know if the game checks the knox status.
Give this a go

Enjoy

Unforunately my partner spent almost all night trying to flash the firmware. According to him it 'nearly' worked, however, I now have a phone stuck in a boot loop. :crying:

Smart switch won't work, says it doesn't recognise the device

I think I would give original firmware of your country and odin a try. One of possible ways is to download all needed files from the site of sammobile.
For me this way works every time when I stuck in boot loop. Odin functionates when you are in download mode. Switch off your s6, then start by pressing home-, powerbutton and Volume down at the same time.
Then start Odin on PC, then connect USB and so on.

When you select emergency recovery theres an option where you have to write the device model and the serial number

Use kies 3 on your computer. When you get it do a "firmware upgrade and installation" it will ask for your serial number which you can get from download mode when pressing the home key. After that kies 3 will ask to boot your phone to recovery but instead boot to download and bow your phone will flash to stock. This method always work!!

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I've tried Kies already and I can't get it to work at all. I get a message telling me my device is not compatible and the whole thing just stops. I'll give it another go though, no harm in trying. Thanks

@amber_1978, Pokemon Go does not check for root. The only thing it does seem to check for is location spoofing via another app. I'm using it on a rooted, Knox tripped, Xposed installed phone with no issues.
If you want to return the phone back to stock, the best way IMO would be to use Odin to flash a stock image, such as the EPD1 firmware.

Really? Did you do the latest update in the game and it still worked ok? This phone has definitley not been used for location spoofing by us and I'm pretty sure there were no apps of that nature on the phone. I downloaded a root checker when everything went wrong the other day, it said the phone was rooted. I'm totally at a loss tbh. Right now it's still in a boot loop. Trying to flash it with Odin as we speak.

Just an update. Tried Smart Switch. Tried the model and serial numbers on the back of the phone case, these weren't recognised so I went to the recovery screen and hit the home button and got a completely different set of numbers. Different IMEI, model number, you name it. I'm assuming this is why Odin won't work, I'm looking for the wrong firmware? I obviously have Frankenstein's phone. No idea what to do now.

Best thing to do is to flash TWRPP and try to flash a custom stock rom through the TWRP recovery which does not have root installed..... If that doesn't work try to find a generic stock firmware for Odin, meaning a firmware that can run in any country..... If all else fails update it to 6.0.1 stock firmware. Try the closest firmwares to your location.
And if you do manage to get to the Samsung logo let the phone sit there for a good 10 minutes even if it reboots....
When I bricked my Samsung I used masiks custom 6.0.1 rom based on stock, but had all the links to bootloaders cscs radios and what not so giv that a shot if you can find it.

Hello, as the device no longer boots its difficult to tell exactly which device it is, as there are at least 4 devices that seem to fit my device description. I've got the N8000, from GErmany, i received it as part of a package from E-plus. From that information there are 4 device ROM's available....one as late as 2015. Which should i take?

Hello,
I do need some help now. I believe i've followed all directions, but am not having success.
Again, my device is a Samsung N8000 Note 10.1. Purchased from Eplus Germany
I have read the directions in how to use Odin, and have followed them precisely.
Drivers installed.
Original Firmware downloaded (N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar). But, in the compresesed file that I downloaded there was also another file (SS_DL.dll). Anyone know what this means?
I copied both files into the directory of Odin v3.12.13.
began Odin, then put the tablet into download mode, then connected it to my computer. There was a sound from my computer recognizing the tablet.
I then added the file firmware file (N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar) into Odin under the AP tab. I checked that the re-partiton box was not checked, then klicked onto Start. But Odin failed after about 3 seconds.
Can anyone please help me here?
thanks.

Use tar file only .
<I copied both files into the directory of Odin v3.12.13.>Never heard of that before .
At a guess Odin cannot find the file or its not connected ID Box in odin shows as connected

Hello, sorry but i need some more help here please.
I've downloaded what i believe is the stock firmware for my device from updato.com: GT-N8000_EPL_1_20150303173500_n47626s3xd
This is a zipped package with two file in it:
N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar.md5
and
SS_DL.dll
I've put both of these files into the directory where ODIN is. I have downloaded and tried serveral ODIN versions: v1.85, v3.10.6, v3.12.7, v3.12.3, v3.07
None of them work. After loading the tar file, ODIN begins, then after about 3 seconds stops and show the message "fail".
Attached is a screen shot of ODIN once i've loaded the tar file, and one that shows after the fail.
I've also added a picture of my note 10.1 N8000 while in download mode.
Anyone can help me here?
thanks.

Download file .
Unzip file .
Put file on desktop .
Open Odin
Locate tar file only and add to PDA or AP
firmware that you are trying to install is a downgrade and the secure bootloader (sboot) is blocking it.

Hello, and thanks.
What you have described above is exactly what i am doing. Are you saying that the reason it does not work is because the bootloader is blocking it? If so, how do i get around this?
I would really like to "upgrade", rather than downgrade. But at the moment i cannot find any other firmwares for my device. A few years ago I saw several ones, but not anymore.
Do you have a suggestion of which firmware I should install, and where i can get this?
Again, thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate it.

Cannot help much if there is no details on what your phone bootloader/firmware versions were before flash, and what versions you were trying to flash.
If you were flashing a lower version of BL to your phone, you can flash your original firmware back to your phone.
If you were flashing a higher version of BL, you will need to find a new version of BL/firmware , such as the latest U firmware, to Odin into the phone..

Since you mentioned a Google account, just make sure you know the user and password of the last working Google account on the phone. Sounds like you tried to flash a firmware with an older bootloader.
And if you don't know that info and were trying to carrier unlock it via some back door method, don't follow the thread that I just linked.
