Hello guys I need some help I have looked all over and don't know what else to do.
For me the problem started when I tried to install a new custom rom, I was running lollipop and went for the marshmallow version of the rom. As the developer indicated I updated the bootloader / Modem to 6.0.1 and TWRP to the latest version. The install went perfect except that when I finished installing my screen was inverted over the X axis. ( I think I installed the edge version on my flat SM-G920I phone) By the way for some reason my phone was showing model number SM-G925F from the time I rooted it a while ago. That is what threw me off.
Any ways I have tried *#2663# with no luck and also Samsung Info app to use the secret codes and the *#2663# is no there so that doesn't work I think that code doesn't work on 6.0.1 , My next option was to downgrade to 5.1.1 and I get SW REV check fail.
So I need some help to either get my screen back to normal on 6.0.1 or to downgrade to 5.1.1
THanks for the help!

Download a firmware and flash it with odin
Try downloading Shortcut Master (lite) from the play store. It may give you access to the 2663 code. Otherwise, as above.

What firmware? I have tried it with 4 different firmwares and no luck
The problem is that I cannot downgrade to 5.1.1 even with the original software

Happy to hear that :victory:
SM-G965U
SM-G965U1
both on RBA firmware version
as Title says .
Still not tried by myself on my SM-G965U1
Would this give us root?
I heard the boot.img needs to match with corresponding firmware and userdata etc. or else phone won't boot. Maybe a wise soul would be able to find a solution!
do you flash these files using a modified odin or what? also do you flash to the AP slot or BL
I've read that if you have an MD5 file that it just goes into the AP slot. Haven't tried it yet.
Some brave souls need to try this ASAP
Having Engboot is nice but from last year's experience it may just mean flashing this will get SE Linux to be in permissive mode. Someone will still need to "inject" root and publish the method for the rest of us.
I flashed this "Engboot" and now my phone is complaining "Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support. Please note that repair/return for this issue may have additional cost.
Any ideas?
Odin back to original firmware

Yes, thanks I am back to factory again. But wanted to see anything else that can be done to boot the "Engboot" as a path towards root.
I'm coming from a rooted galaxy s5 and I know we had to flash the ENG firmware to get root on 5.0

Is ANYONE messing around with this? Or am I the only one?
I have flashed these already but there was binary mismatch error. I will be glad to test further if someone wants to guide specially since Samsung has patched the Samfail exploit.

How did you flash it?
Through ODIN. It flashed fine but phone was showing unauthorized software error and won't boot
Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk
Well I have a s9+ as a secondary phone right now so I could technically flash something if we are trying to obtain a root method. I'd want to have a pro to help me unbrick/fix my device if needed lol. Is there any root development going on right now?
How to flash? I tried odin but it says invalid. (Edit: Nevermind. Can't flash using usb c cables yet had to use c to a cable. Of course I got the same error. I am your test dummy I'll try anything what you got for me?
I'm stck in engineering mode :/

I flashed this along with the CSC and it actually booted! Got lot's of cool info. But now I'm stuck and can't odin back to stock! I get the sha256 error and modified odin won't work. What do?
Try the patched ODIN that someone posted in another thread v3.13.1

I'm confused
Guess I'm coming from Europe where the only model of the the phone we use is "F" eg.sm-g955f, sm-g 965f..
I'm now in the us and I got a galaxy s9 sm-g965U1 ulocked online from the samsung store..
I then found out there is a sm-g965U... which is also unlock and unbranded for the USA... some one please tell me what difference is there between these two models... And If there is no difference why does it exist?
Hi everyone, after some close calls in the recent past which included bricking my phone during an update, I am quite hesitant to do any updates. However, I have a message saying that there is an update ready on my us mate 9 my current firmware version is MHA-L29 8.0.0.367(C567) and the new version is MHA-L29 8.0.0.374(C567) . I tried to do the update using the OTA app but it ends up booting in TWRP. My question is, is there a version of this firmware that can be installed using TWRP? I also do not want to lose my unlocked bootloader in the process. Please see the picture attached. I looked at some of the similar threads but cannot find a satisfactory answer.
Thanks

Make sure you flash recovery after updating rom for it might cause phone bootloop
I am trying to root and unlock bootloader of my S5 (G900V + EMMC 15). I have followed this post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71202995&postcount=3
but i cant get past the first step. I am on stock MM firmware. After flashing first file via odin the phone reboots but shows no display but black screen. I thought maybe its because of my MM firmware version so i tried to downgrade and flashed 5.1 firmware but...get this... the thing got stuck at verizon logo.
Now i am just frustrated if i am ever going to be able to root this thing and unlock BL
Any help for me or someone else has faced same situation before...

Hi all,
I have 2 Galaxy S8+ and I cannot flash TWRP on one of them. They are both the Exynos variant. OEM unlocked and using ODIN 3.12 as well as the Prince Comsy Odin version.
It just says FAIL! and RQT_CLOSE.
I've also tried flashing the .tar TWRP for the Snapdragon version just in case I've got the wrong variant TWRP, but it's the same result.
Any ideas?

What errors are showing in Odin :- if you can post a screenshot.
What does it say in download mode
Try using Odin 3.13.1
TWRP for the Snapdragon variant will not work on Exynos variant and will give you issues.
Looks like I have the RMM state lock....I can see this:
3. "RMM state = Prenormal" in download mode

Have put in a SIM card and will wait after 7 days and check Download Mode and try again.

Hi guys,
I got the same problem.
I succesfully rooted my Galaxy S8 before but it crashed when I wanted to change the boot animation and bricked the phone.
So I dowloaded the stock rom to save my device and since then Odin fails when I try to flash the same TWRP that I used before.
Did you managed to get it flashed on your S8+ now?

Yup, I did. Fix is as per my last post. Just need to put in sim card, wait 7 days, then try the TWRP flash steps again. I waited 8 days just in case.

Did wait those 7 days but still failed, now in those 7 days I lost network connection once or twice.
Will that be the reason why it failed again?

Yeah, try connecting your phone to a charger and keep it connected to the network for 8 days. That's what I did.
Ok, after 5 months of trying several times and being sure that i was connected to the network at all times for 8 days the KG State still sticks to prenormal.
Can't find a solution.
