Use the firmware for your region, e.g. country of issue and figure out the region code e.g. XFA, XFE, etc.

Ok so I had the same problem as you. When you get this error in download mode, it's because you can't downgrade your bootloader.
The version of TW you're trying to flash has an older bootloader than the bootloader you have already install.
You need to flash the latest version of TW. You can find it on Sammobile or with the soft Samfirm.

Odin flash failed, device 3, binary 2. Help needed!

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?

Can't flash firmware

So,
Today I flashed the UK BTU firmware (G920FXXU3COI9). However, when I extracted the file it had 4 files for AP, BL, CP AND CSC so I used them all. However, now I can't go back to my previous firmware (G920FXXU2COH5) because when I try flashing it with Odin it says on the phone: sw rev check fail.
I want to go back to this firmware because I have a Nandroid backup with all my stuff and it doesn't work when i try to restore it on the new firmware. Can you help me with the right file to flash? Do I need the CSC file of the old firmware as well? Can you help me please?

SM-G930F SW REV Check fail device 2 binary 1

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?

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)

Your Odin error is due to flashing older firmware version ( Bootloader)
The firmware you mentioned above is the latest version 3 bootloader so you should be able to flash that.
Latest version firmware is G955FXXU4CRI5 (September with bootloader ver 4) if you want to update to the latest firmware.
Flashing the firmware will replace your recovery.
You can use this to find the latest firmware for your phone

Trying to downgrade from 7.0 (3/2018) to 6.0.1 (2/2017), Odin not working

Hi, I'm trying to downgrade from 7.0 to 6.0.1. Odin keeps failing.
When Odin fails (after NAND write start), I see an error pop up on the Download mode screen (red letters):
SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 6, BINARY: 5
Tried different versions of Odin, and made sure I had a good copy of the right version of firmware from Sammobile.
Any idea if it's possible? Is there another way to do this besides Odin? Phone is not rooted, stock, Knox intact.
I've been off Samsung for a few years, and my memory is spotty... but would it help if I installed a Recovery, then flashed a custom 6.0.1 rom? Or is that also a problem?
Thanks for any help!
Mike
