that works? i downloaded many versions, i can't find one that works.
what baseband are you on? do you have twrp installed? do you need a zip or would a tar.md5 suffice?
i'm on marshmallow g900pvpu3cpg1 and looking for a tar file, another problem i've run into is that it gives me an error when trying to downgrade.
Have you tried the ok4 tar? Nvm, that's lollipop. Why are you trying to go to kk?

I have tried installing CM12, but it keeps giving me errors in the recovery. I have tried installing the 5.0.1 version of DigitalHigh GPE, but that wouldn't boot. I've heard about upgrading to 4.4.4 firmware first, how do I do that?

There are a few firmware threads. One actually has an exe file which pretty much does it for you. Otherwise just rename the firmware 0P6BMIG.zip and place on your ext_sdcard and boot into bootloader. It is pretty easy.

can I do this with GPE installed? or do I need to convert back to Sense first?
ROM doesn't matter, it'll send you back to stock vzw pre rooted
Save the manuals!!!
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.

But did you try to flash without the bootloader and modem?
Hey folks, I was thinking of downgrading from 6.0.1 which I am using now to 5.1 so I can try some different Roms. My phone was already on 6.01 when I bought it so not sure going down to 5.1 is safe or not.
Any help would be awesome.

As far as I know downgrading firmware is not possible on this phone.
But any of the older roms should work just fine regardless of the marshmallow update

From what I understand we cannot downgrade. But I was thinking this. . .what if someone who has made a twrp backup of their LL stock firmware sent that download to me. Then I would download and flash via TWRP. Would that work? I was trying to break open the tar.md5 from my phone to see where the verification of the firmware would be to delete that particular string in the metadata script. I haven't really looked into it deeply but it may be a start. The backup stock ROM from TWRP might be our best bet if someone still is on stock LL.
So we r able to flash LP Roms even tbough we r on MM?

In theory since we can flash a twrp backup. We would have to convert that backup into a flashable zip file. I'll work on how to do it this weekend. But once I get a zipped file it's going to have to be tested. If this works we still need someone with LP rom to do the backup.
Hey Guys,
So in early January when the s8+ Oreo update got leaked I followed the guide to install it on my device. However, I noticed when I go to download mode it shows up as the SM-G955U and my device is SM-G955W. When I tried download the stock firmware and flashing it in firmware it fails in ODIN. So my question is how would I revert back to the stock firmware and ROM that came with my device, I've tried many different zip files for the stock ROM thinking it might have been corrupt but it does not work.
Edit: here's the tutorial I followed to flash Oreo on my device initially

Thanks!
Try the patched version of Odin 3.13.1:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
I did the same thing and used this to get it back to SM-G955W. This version has support for .lz4 files, which is used in the Oreo ROMS.

DO you mind linking the ROM you downloaded for it ??
Hi! A while ago I decided to flash TWRP and a custom rom (LineageOS) onto my S7. After a while I decided that I would prefer the stock OS. So I tried flashing the stock ROM with Odin and a zip file downloaded from SamMobile. But it would always fail when it got up to flashing system.img. So I tried another firmware using SamFirm, the same problem persisted. So I tried flashing the stock ROM using FlashFire, but no partitions showed up. Smart Switch and Kies 3 just said that my device is not compatible. If anyone can help me, it would be massively appreciated.
P.S. I am doing everything right, I've done this exact process on many other Samsung phones.
Are you extracting the AP, BL, CP and CSC files from the zip, or just putting the zip straight into Odin?
