Had a similar issue yesterday when I tried to update my rooted 5.0.2 to an official 5.1.1. I have used ODIN many times before since SGS3, and back then you were able to mix your system image from other regions, but that apparantly has been locked down by Samsung. Now you can only update an official version of the rom if it exactly matches your existing region. Because you updated your SK international S6 and tried a region set rom from Czech it most likely failed towards the very end of flash with "FAIL".
Your options are: 1) you download the 5.1.1 version for your region in ODIN format from SAMMobile or 2) you use Smart Switch and let it do it for you - in this case you will need to know the SN of your phone as it is used for verification.
Samsung has locked down the serial number with the regions that come with it. So if you have to install, you should update it or use same region odin file. There is a way to break this chain if you are rooted and some additional files are being used in the odin but I am not completely sure as I have not tried it yet. But there are chances that you may void your warranty if you try that or the worse hard brick as it can sometimes change your serial number if not used properly. but I wouldn recommend that. I'll let you know once I understand the usage correctly.
OK, no matter what method I try I am unable to achieve a successful flash of my phone. I have tried it via odin with many different firmware versions but all seem to fail almost immediately. The only way to resolve this is to use samsung switch and reset phone to stock. The problem is stock firmware is german vodafone full of vodafone bloatware, I want to get rid of it and flash a UK unbranded firmware but no matter what I do I am unable to achieve this. I can see from the forum that there are many people out there with the same flashing problem but with no real responses on how to achieve the goal. There must be people out there that have achieved this task but don't seem to be offering up much help?
ok

Is your phone international unlocked out of the box? I dont believe it was, because as far as I've read international unlocked phones come with "unbranded" firmware. The unlocked ones I know can be pretty much flashed with "any" international firmware, which is what you are trying to do.
If you dont know for sure. Odin the stock German Vodaphone. Let the phone boot. Boot back to stock recovery, then factory reset and clear cache.
Then let the phone boot...Download phone info app by vndnguyen (free version is fine)...Open the app, go to CSC Code tab. Then that will tell you the active CSC code and your firmware CSC code...you are looking for the line that says Available CSC Codes. If it only lists German Vodaphone (VD2), then I believe you are stuck til the phone is unlocked.
Anyone, jump in here if I'm mistaken. I am using this as reference as, I've checked my G920F. Mine is unlocked tho and I can flash any firmware from any region with no problem. Hopefully I've answered your question.
I had no luck with the firmwares on the firmware page either.
If you are on OI9 check http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/guide-android-6-0-marshmallow-beta-how-t3277533
And try flashing the first stock firmware https://drive.google.com/folderview...sharing&tid=0B40ItdHKfkyQd1hJQXVDU3dDU2c#list (not the android M one!) via ODIN.
Basic process is:
Download the above file, extract, there should be 4 files inside (AP,BL,CP,CSC), simply select each one to go in the relevant box on ODIN, then go into download mode on your phone and click start...
N.B. Be aware that the above firmware contains a PIT file which will reformat and resize the partitions on your phone, so make sure you have a copy of the stock firmware that works before trying the flash (i.e. the one which Smart Switch downloads). You can grab it from your windows %TEMP% directory during the smart switch download (it first downloads a file to TMPxxx, then extracts it into a directory of the same name, its these files you want. They should be the four files beginning with the type of ODIN file you are flashing (AP,BL,CP,CSC). The files get deleted after the firmware has flashed so make sure you watch the process. If things go wrong you can re-flash these files via ODIN
As far as I was led to believe and when I purchased the phone it did state factory unlocked. I was able to put in any sim when I received it and didn't have to go through any aftermarket unlock process?
I have the same problem i have a unlocked G-920F with egyptian CSC and firmware 5.1.1 .when i try to flash BTU 5.1.1 via odin, i have the same problem and only way to recover is via smart switch.BTU firmware is from sammobile

https://drive.google.com/folderview...sharing&tid=0B40ItdHKfkyQd1hJQXVDU3dDU2c#list
its BTU firmware of 5.1.1
and flash this firmware you'll have 4 files AP,BL,CP,CSC,put it in the respective boxes in odin.I have tested this right now and it works
Press "thanks" if i have helped
Well downloaded the app for CSC info and it states available CSC codes are...
ATL, AVF, CNX, CYV, MOB, MTL, OMN, SIM, SWC, TCL, VD2, VDC, VDF, VDH, VDI, VGR, VIP & VOD
Any ideas?
Ok, tried to get stock firmware when samsung smart switch was downloading and installing but couldn't see where the firmware was being downloaded to? Tried windows temp etc but nothing appeared during download and install?

Just type in %TEMP% into you windows explorer address bar and it will take you there. arrange by date modified and you will see the size ticking up during the download, before the flash starts it will extract into a folder with the same name, the md5 files can be grabbed from there
No probs here

Ok, Got it this time, all four files. Will give the method above a go and if it fails at least I've got the stock firmware to fall back on?
Magic, have had great success. Now on the BTU firmware and everything is up and running. Got the stock as well just in case but if this continues to work won't be reinstalling stock. So a big thanks to those who helped

Glad you are sorted
I flashed in my galaxy s7 G930F
Alexndr.G930FXXUS3ERI1
Then tried to install another build of this rom
My sim card won't work like it's not even inserted
G930FXXU2ERGE that's the other build i tried to install
And tried an s8 rom can't remember its name and same issue
Even when i tried to flash the stock AUT & UK builds with odin and it fails and gives my system rev. check fail device:1, binary:0
Or system rev. check fail device:1, binary:2
Unless it's the build as the one i mentioned G930FXXUS3ERI1
My phone is exynos and suppose to flash any rom with problems before
Can anyone plz tell me what's is going on
G930FXXUS3ERI1 is higher version of G930FXXS3ERHD and samsung is locked the bootloader in G930FXXS3ERHD Version. So you cant downgrade from G930FXXUS3ERI1 and G930FXXS3ERHD to G930FXXU2ERGE. This problem is happen with me and my phone is under warranty (Knox 0x000) and service center will change the motherboard. you have no option to downgrade. Phone will accept only G930FXXUS3ERI1 version, so wait for next official update version of your country. When a similar or higher version come in your country you can able to flash.
I post on xda and i found one solution for root user. See here
Sorry for bad English.
My phone originally from Switzerland so it's AUT firmwares
And i always tried many custom roms with other countries and it worked just fine
I was on G930FXXU2ERGE
After trying this build G930FXXUS3ERI1 it got stuck on it
So u telling me that build is stuck on the motherboard
And i can't downgrade to nougat roms or other oreo builds but the one I'm on?! ?

Once you flash a ROM with a "3" bootloader, you can no longer revert to one with a "2" (or lower). Since you flashed 3ERI1, you can't revert to 2ERGE. Since the "3" bootloader was just released, there really isn't much to roll back to (there is currently a choice between 3ERI1 and 3ERH*).
Having said that, the Alexndr ROM is quite nice and virtually stock (I use it). And with the 3ERI1 build, Samsung appears to have overcome the very annoying random reboot problem that has plagued its recent ROMs.
Yes i been using it too
And that's my current rom nw also same build as yours
But idk why the complication with the bootloader thing with the firmwares
They should have left it like it was
With no restrictions

Device X , Binary Y errors in Odin mean you are trying to flash an older firmware version than what is on your phone. Device X = current bootloader version number on phone. Binary Y = bootloader version you are trying to flash.
You will have to find latest version to flash for your phone. Bootloader version number is the 5 th number from the right of the firmware name.

Not sure if it will help if you can't boot into phone but in twrp have you tried a factory reset to see if it fixes issue or if you have a backup you could try and restore your phone from that.
If not and since don't know what version you were on before you will have to find the latest firmware for your region (and carrier).
Firmware name will look this(depending on your model)
Example.: G955FXXU2CRF7 the number 2 (5th from the right) will be the bootloader version number. The higher the number the latest released firmware.
I normally use updato.com for my firmware but you could use sammobil or samfirm.
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=S8+&exact=1
Make sure you select the right phone model and in the filter section select region (and carrier) to refine search.
Note: This will replace twrp with stock recovery and also use latest Odin 3.13.1

Does this apply to the CSC and AP too? Or is there a different way to tell the binary version of the AP and CSC? Because I get the error telling me I've fused 7 and bin 6 for CSC and fused 6 and bin 5 for AP.

You can't downgrade ( binary/bootloader ) versions.
Your CSC code will generally be the country/network of where you live and is represented as XXX

What is your model number?
What country/region are you using the device in? What carrier network is the device being used on?
You can't use g930f and g935, you can only use one of them and it has to be the same as the model number of your device, you can't use firmware from a different model number.
You need to find the newest firmware for your specific model number for your specific country/region/carrier.
