If even the process that I wrote above didn't work for your device, you have to send it to service.

You are facing bootloop after flashing stock rom right? Random reboots? One question, did odin flash official stock firmware without giving any error? If yes and still you are facing radom reboots i.e.bootloop after flashing stock firmware, then just power off your phone by pressing volume down+power button..When screen will turn off, immediately press volume up+power+home button simultaneously until you see Samsung galaxy s6 logo, release keys..You are now in stock recovery, from there choose wipe data/factory reset option..After reset complete choose wipe cache..After wiping cahced data is complete reboot your phone..It will boot normally..

u10if Try flashing only the pit file ZEROFLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit. Then, after you have flashed the pit file, flash the XEF firmware the OP told you to download. I had the same problem as you, and thats what I did, and I am now back up and running and on the XEF Android 7 firmware.

[SM-N900] How to downgrade from 5.0/4.4.2 to 4.4.2/4.3

WARNING! THIS WILL BREAK YOUR WARRANTY! I HOLD NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR BRICKS, BOOTLOOPS, ETC. IF YOU END UP HAVING A 500 DOLLAR BRICK, IT IS NOT MY FAULT AS YOU ARE THE ONE WHO DECIDED TO DO THIS PROCEDURE!!!!!!
THIS GUIDE IS FOR THE SM-N900. IF YOU TRY THIS ON ANY OTHER DEVICE, YOU WILL 99.99999% CHANCE OF BRICK!!!!(NO SM-N9005, N900V, ETC.)
Hey guys, so many of you are wondering if you can downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4.2 or from 4.4.2 to 4.3. I see many people say this is not possible, but it is!
you'll require:
A windows machine with a sensible version of windows (no windows 95, 98, etc.. )
OR
A mac that either dual boot windows and os x or running windows in a virtual machine (this is what I'm doing)
Odin - Download here
A SM-N900 device running 5.0 or 4.42
A stable internet connection
USB Debugging enabled on your device. If you don't know how to enable it, check here
Boot loader: http://www.mediafire.com/?edp1iw3qzwhtoij (Only if you're downgrading to 4.3!)
7-Zip - Download here (WinRAR WILL NOT work)
SamFirm - Download here
And last but not least....
A brain
Okay, let's get on with this.
STEP 1:
Download and install everything I listed above!
Back-up all data on your device.
Unzip SamFirm and Odin to respective folders on the desktop
Open SamFirm by double clicking on the exe
You will be greeted with the application. You now need to specify what firmware you want to download. Enter the model name as SM-N900 (All caps!). Next, you'll be prompted to enter your region. For downgrading to 4.3, enter XFU as the region. For 4.4.2, enter BTC. Don't check binary nature and select auto mode. On the right, select decrypt automatically and then press download.
The firmware will now begin downloading. Wait for the download to complete.
STEP 2 (Only if you're downgrading to 4.3! If you're downgrading to 4.4.2, go to step 4) :
Power off the device. Boot to recovery by holding home, power and volume up at the same time. Do a factory reset. Power off the device again and boot to download mode by holding the volume down, home and power buttons. You will be greeted with a warning. Press continue. Open odin and wait for odin to recognize your device. Select the BL tab and select the bootloader.tar that you downloaded. Next, go to the options tab and unselect auto reboot. Then start the flashing process. DO NOT SHUT DOWN YOUR COMPUTER, PHONE OR UNPLUG THE DEVICE DURING THIS PROCESS!
Once the flash has completed, shut down the device and reboot to download mode.
STEP 3:
Next, take the decrypted zip you downloaded. Open the zip with 7ZIP. Extract the tar.md5 file and open that with 7ZIP. Extract the contents of the tar.md5 file. Delete the sboot.bin, then rezip. Select all the extracted files and right click. Click 7-ZIP > add to archive. Select archive type as tar and then recompress.
STEP 4: Go back to odin, and press reset. Go to the AP tab and select the new tar you just created or if you're downgrading to 4.4.2, select the tar.md5 extracted from the zip. Wait for odin to process the file. It may appear that odin has hanged. This is normal. Wait for it process the file. This time, select auto-reboot from the options tab. Then, start the flash. This flash with take a minute or two. After it finishes flashing, the device will automatically reboot. After the splash screen, it may appear that the device has hanged due to the black screen. Wait for a few seconds, and the startup animation will play as usual. At this point, you should be successfully downgraded!
NOTE: IF YOU HAVE MOBILE NETWORK OR IMEI ISSUES, THEN FLASH THIS OR THIS MODEM IN CWM OR TWRP
If this helped you, please press thanks.

How could this be adapted to work on N900t? And do you have pics to confirm that you got bootloader back to 4.3? I thought that was not possible
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk 2
Sorry the n900t is a snapdragons device so it will not work ��
I am on kitkat right now. I upgraded from 4.3 to 4.4.2 again so I cannot 0ost the pictures. Sorry about that.
Thanks for the quick reply. But I thought it was impossible on all note 3's so it was worth finding out
Bootloader download page asks for decryption key. Please upload it to another file hosting site. Thanks. And as you have downgraded to 4.3 is the battery life better than kitkat or lollipop?

Sorry about that I updated the link. Battery life on 4.3 was good.
Followed all the instruction properly. Flashing Bootloader failed the first time as I used Odin 3.7. Flashed with Odin 3.10 and it worked. Flashing the repackaged tar file didnt work twice. It always got stuck while flashing. Then I used Peazip to repackage and it successfully flashed with Odin.
OP please upload the modem to another site as well. Am stuck without mobile network :/
Tl;dr Successfully downgraded to 4.3. Almost.

Hi, I tried to do this to downgrade mi N900. I followed every step, everything work fine (supposed).
After I flashed the moded 4.3 firm (without sboot) my phone died, first time boot show something about a kernel error
Now I can't go into download mode or recovery mode.... It just says "Samsung note 3" and reboots 2 o 3 times and thats all. It doesn't even show that the battery is charging...
The steps i did ->
Downloaded Firm from sammobile -> SM-N900_XFU_1_20131129160104_fifz3b44bv
Downloaded 7 ZIP
Downloaded Bootloader.tar (From the post)
Flashed Bootloader.tar -> OK
Open firm with 7 zip, erased sboot.bin -> recompress to tar -> OK
Flashed recompressed TAR without sboot.bin -> OK
Firts boot -> Black screen with red letters saying something about a Kernel Error
Second boot -> Shows "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" (like usual) reboot, shows the samething again and reboot and then power off
I tried to go into recovery mode -> FAIL
Tried to go into download mode -> FAIL
Can anyone here help me ?

Try a factory reset and or flash stock firmware .

tried to install a 6.0.1 rom and ****ed up my phone so bad.

downloaded twrp 3, was running 5.1.1 on my phone and rooted it. tried to flash a rom and got stuck in a bootloop, now I cant boot into twrp, or anything for that matter. All i can do is hold volume down and power and home and try to ODIN a new bootloader or such and it just fails. what do i do? but when I try to boot into TWRP it goes into a blueish screen with a White exclamation mark saying "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software. I tried to do that but it didnt even recognize the device. At this point i dont care about the data, I just need a working device
Okay, so I attempted to unroot and flash the stock 5.0.2 software and I got a error on the download screen. It says SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3. BINARY: 1.
If you have no knox install MM official then flash this kernel tar file (AP) https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B40ItdHKfkyQcTA5bnRPWDg0X28&usp=drive_web#list it will boot to mm 5min :good:
Btw you cann downgrade from 5.1.1 to 5.0.1 you just go up not down

Happened to me a lot of times in the past few days trying to get MM, for some weird reason flashing Unikernel always works for me (takes me to recovery screen after, then i select 'reboot now'), and all my data, apps etc are still there

will try and update. thank you. didnt work.
Okay guys so now I need a ROM to flash using ODIN. I tried to download from sammobile but the speeds are too damn slow. What I tried to flash was this file " G920TUVU1AOCG_G920TTMB1AOCG_G920TUVU1AOCG_HOME.tar.md5 " and i got the error 3 to 1.
Download Samfirm from here, XDA itself.
Run samfirm, enter model as G920F and your region code.
It will download from Samsung servers, so high speed.
Now flash using Odin the downloaded file by putting the phone in download mode, (vol down+home+power on).
How did it happen?
Did you try to flash the VOD 6.0.1 and got stuck towards the end at hidden.IMG failing the process?
If yes, then its a two minute job. Just open the 6.0.1 tar archive and look for hidden.IMG extract it anywhere and rename it from "hidden.img" to "hidden.img.tar".
Note flash this hidden.img.tar as AP in download mode, your phone should boot.

Maybe one of the buttons is broken or so. Sometimes it does boot to download mode, sometimes it doesnt. I managed to install a custom rom. I tried two Roms and none of them is able to boot. Both get stuck on bootanimation. I did not turn on USB debugging or allow OEM unlock in the stock rom before installing a custum rom.. May this be related to that?
Just tried a AOSP Rom (unofficial Lingue) and it booted like a charm. But Samsung Rom won´t boot. Do you guys know a solution?

1-flash latest your firmware
2-flash cf-autoroot again if you (flash latest marshmallow) by odin
if you flash nougat
1-flash latest twrp image for your s6 model
2-flash magisk root latest by twrp
after that you should access to stock rom

What's the difference between the firmware I flashed and this one you provided? I exclude a hardware failure because a AOSP ROM did boot.
Possible for the partition layout to be corrupted?

bro , the firmware difference between country and others , there firmware can't boot correctly if you installed on device , another firmware will boot correctly .
i don't think there are a failure on hardware cuz you can boot your device correctly and you can use it .
however , you can try flash this firmware without any problem , if also not booted you may need pit file for the firmware for Poland but first try flash without pit
if not work with you only (not boot up)
-flash firmware with this pit file together with
1-check option re-partition
2-make sure you check auto reboot and f.reset time
pit file for fimware

I'll flash it today when I'm home.
Yes I can, of course the stock recovery is installed now.
You need to install firmware via the 4 part binary method. Try the process below:
Download and run this:
Samfirm (on phone so having issues getting link, the software is on xda)
When you open the program, type the values given here;
Model: SM-G920F
Region: DBT
Auto: Selected
Manual: Unselected
Binary Nature: Selected
Check CRC32: Selected
Decrypt automatically: Selected
When you write and select options given above, press "Check Update" and then press "Download" to download factory firmware for your device.
Once the download has been finished, extract the zip file that you've downloaded via SamFirm.
After unzip it, download and run Odin
When you open it, press BL and select file which starts with BL from downloaded (from Samfirm) and extacted zip folder.
Do the same thing for AP, CP, CSC.
When you set 4 files to Odin, connect your phone to your PC in download mode and click "Start" on Odin
Credit goes to @forumber2 foe this process, it seems to fix a lot of stock firmware flash fails.

Sudden random bootloops, flashed stock firmware but can't get past 32% "erasing"

Sudden random bootloops, flashed stock firmware but can't get past 32% "erasing"
Hi, how are you? I have a SM-G920F. I was using stock 7.0 firmware (I never rooted it or anything) and one day (like a month ago) it suddenly began to reboot by itself. It can be stuck in a bootloop for 2 straight days and then suddenly boot normally and use it for a couple hours until it starts bootlooping again. It was happening completely randomly.
I was told it was something to do with the motherboard but since I was not completely sure after a month of having this issue I decided to try my luck with flashing kernels/firmwares/roms, etc. I flashed TWRP, aldeon kernel, tried to flash Nemesis ROM but couldn't get past to around 20% in aroma installer, I tried the emergency recover of SmartSwitch and everything was going smoothly until it got to 32% at "Installing system update" at which point it stops with a message "erasing" and goes back to the bootloop. At this point I have access to stock recovery.
After unsuccesfully trying to flash stock 6.0.1 firmware with ODIN and reading some people having trouble to downgrade due to cm.bin and sboot.img I decided to flash stock 7.0 firmware with ODIN but after succesfully applying the update the phone reboots with the "installing system update" screen and then it gets once again to 32% and it says "erasing" after which it starts the bootloop. At this point I have no access to recovery. I read somewhere that this could be fixed by doing a factory reset after the first boot, but since I had no access to recovery I couldn't do it. Then I unzipped the .md5 with the stock firmware and replaced the recovery.img with the one from the TWRP tar file. I flashed this new "modified stock firmware with TWRP recovery" through ODIN and after succesfully passing I could enter the recovery after the first boot (without getting to the installing system update screen), I did a factory reset but after rebooting the system I was once again stuck in a bootloop.
I'm stuck with a bootlooping $500 paperweight. :crying: I'm afraid it could be something with the motherboard any help is greatly greatly greatly appreciated! :highfive:
PS: I don't know if providing the last_kmsg log would be of any help. I tried searching for some of the messages it contains but couldn't get to anything.
One day I installed BTU rom on XEF it worked for 2 days then after I updates OTA my phone rebooted and stuck on boot logo forever...I flashed XEF ROM it worked...after 2 days I lost imei I restarted and it stuck on boot loop...I flashed it with octopus box with new imei certificate it worked with different imei...I recommend to do backup for efs folder then start flashing things from there if didn't work try repair shop to flash it with a box tell him to try marshmallow and nougat and check certificate ( if you have knox down) ( if you have knox still good return it for repair where u buy it )
This is the last Samsung device for me I will never buy Samsung in my life this piece of krap devices are not that good I'll support Google devices forever

Hi! For some reason when I click "Check Update" I get the following error:
SamFirm v0.3.6.0
Could not fetch info for SM-G920F/PHN. Please verify the input or use manual info
Could you please verify it's working for you? Maybe it's because I'm trying from the PC at work and perhaps the proxy is not allowing me.
Thanks for your help!

After fixing my laptop I could download and install the firmware like you told me and it finally booted up! It's been 12 hours since that and I haven't experienced a single reboot. I hope it stays like this. Thanks A LOT!!
Hi I used these instructions to get my phone back up and going. I had Rooted it and it was fine when I tried to turn it on this morning all I got was the blue LED lit up and nothing. So I just wanted to say thank you.

After one week without a single reboot I've had like 4 or 5 in the past two days. It's still usable but I'm afraid it could get worse.

Bricked Galaxy S6

Hello everyone, i have a very big problem. My Galaxy S6 is bricked, i install Galaxy Note 8 rom with android 8.0, unfortunately, most of the applications did not work because i have root, I wanted to get back to android 7.0. When I wanted to install the stock rom in odin (the system was one-shot) FAIL jumped out - just then the phone was bricked. I tried install the four file system, i tried android 7.0, 6.0.1 and 5.0.2 with PIT file. This dont work, i have FAIL in odin. I also installed the factory binary rom and it does not work either.. I use ODIN 3.13.1, 3.09 and 3.10.6, it dont work on any :crying:
I could not get into recovery so I downloaded TWRP, the phone shows SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 logo and the red word Recovery is not seandroid enforcing. Please help, i dont have any idea to repair this..
