I've got a Galaxy S5 that I purchased from someone earlier today and it worked well until I did some type of software update, it went well but then restarted and it's been messed up since. Now, whenever I boot up the phone it boots fine all the way too the Sprint Spark screen and it just hangs, and hangs and then restarts again, and goes through the same process. I've tried reflashing the device using Odin but I keep getting an error "SW REV CHECK FAIL" with some other stuff. I've tired to do so much, I tried resetting the device and the cache using the options. Please, can someone offer me some help. It's a 900P and it's a Sprint device. I just got back from a funeral a little bit ago so I'd love to get this thing working finally, I've been working on it all night.
Can you check the model number under the battery?
I think Sm-g900m is the South America version, and Sm-g900p should be the North America sprint version.

Yes, that's correct my bad. It's the 900P. I'll correct the thread.

Ok, good The "SW REV CHECK FAIL" is probably caused by secure bootloader which won't allow downgrade.
Have you tried to flash the latest firmware?

It goes fine all the way till the system.img.ext4 part and it just sits there. I tried letting it sit last night for 4+ hours on a different firmware and it just sat there. Any thoughts?
EDIT: So, I reflashed it, it was successful but my device still hangs at the Sprint screen..

Hmm, I have no idea why it won't boot properly. This "stuck on bootlogo" seems to be a common problem on todays samsung models.
Have you tried factory reset in recovery after flash?
Only other thing I can think of is if some other partition got messed up during the software update.
Maybe can be fixed with a 4-file "repair firmware" with BL/AP/CP/CSC-parts. I'll see if I can find one.

Sorry, I don't. Maybe it's better if you ask for more help in S5 forum on how to go on with this, as I don't own this device myself. I will probably find that thread if you do, and be able to help futher if needed
Otherwise there's plenty of tutorials on how to flash 4-files with odin.
I did find one and uploaded it to mega in case you want to grab it. G900PVPS3CQB3_CSC_SPT_CL10090296_QB12576102_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.zip
I've used those kind of firmwares on various devices for all kind of problems where official firmware wasn't enough to fix it, and it always worked without problems.

First make sure your battery is well charged (we don't want it to die during flash)
Just put the files in their boxes in odin, connect your phone in download mode and flash.
Hopefully it will now boot past that bootlogo. If not...there must be some hardware problem.

It just sits there? No errors? Maybe you should try a different version of odin, like Odin 3.09
You could also try another usb port and/or different cable. Those are the most common problems when flash won't start.

Yeah you can do that too. Another thing you've reminded me of now when talking about smart switch...Go to your task manager on pc and make sure that no smart switch or kies is running in background before open odin. It may interfere with odin connection.
I remember it was a common problem with kies/odin.

No, I do not have a full I535VRUCML1 firmware package for you.
Yes, I somewhat lied in the title of this thread. But I did it for a good reason: to get your attention.
Mods - I'm sure you'll understand.
You should NOT flash the I535VRUCML1 firmware (or any subsequent releases for that matter). You will brick. This is what vzw/samsung did on the first OTA for the Galaxy S4. They changed the keys they sign the firmware with. This prevents us from 'mis-matching' our firmware like we've been doing all along. We've been leaving aboot (VRUAME6, the african-canadian sock-monkey leaked bootloader) alone and updating everything else. Since they're signing with different keys now, doing this will brick your device. If you update the ENTIRE bootchain (including aboot) you shouldn't brick, but will be stuck with a locked bootloader and any attempt to downgrade (via dd, etc) will brick you as well. Even if you manage to flash an ENTIRE old bootchain over VRUCML1, you'll brick because they trip a qfuse that prevents it from working. More info about qfuse by djrbliss here: http://t.co/myb0LIrN6e
Just stick with VRUBMF1, trust me.
These firmware updates have, up until now, consisted of several partitions that we update:
- tz (trustzone)
- rpm (resource/power management)
- sbl[1,2,3] (secure bootloaders)
- NON-HLOS (modem/baseband)
Due to the way Samsung and Verizon have chosen to proceed with future updates (following what they do for the Galaxy S4) we cannot flash all these partitions anymore (see above) and retain our unlocked bootloader. We CAN, however, update the baseband as it's not signed.
Latest firmware: NE1 modem with MF1 firmware: http://www.invisiblek.org/firmware/d2/d2vzw_MF1_firmware_NE1_modem.zip (md5sum: 7a49bb13c1160f4d4a89488127684b5b)
This will be the final zip I make. MF1 was the last firmware that allowed us to use the old bootloader, and NE1 is likely to be the last modem we'll ever receive.
How would we measure objectively, coverage/speed differences between what we have the old and new radios?
I guess bandwidth speed test app? Anything else?
Sweet. Maybe I'll get better signal. My voice/1x reception has been worse than my old dx. I'm dropping calls left and right. I also live in the middle of BFE.
how is baseband/radio affected when we flash something else with cwm or with Odin? I mean, I have stock rooted w. b00stedv.002, but if I flash aokp or cm, will it replace this new radio with whatever one is included with them?
Slightly OT, I remember on the dx, if you wanted to sbf without the radio you did it with Linux, otherwise with moto's rsdlite.
Will this wipe data/swap us back to a stockish rom?
invisiblek said:
I've always liked having a thread dedicated to keeping links for the most updated modems for a device. Just easier to find that way.
These are packaged for flashing with Odin. Flash in the PDA section.
I will not promise anything as far as faster speeds or better coverage.
IMPORTANT:
Do not unplug while this is happening, unless you are in dire need of a paperweight.
Odin tends to seem like it hangs for a short bit toward the end of the flash. Be patient, it will finish and automatically reboot.
Latest one on top.
VRLG1 - http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/VRLG1.modem.tar.md5
This is the first OTA
VRLF2 - http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/VRLF2.modem.tar.md5
This is the original shipped modem

im on cm10 after all the audio commits etc it seems like the most stable rom other than stock, beats aokp or cm9 right now imho, no data drops etc
So...This is just the new baseband right?
So should be able to flash with custom recovery/rom etc?
this is my first samsung device so not looking for a brick.

tar.md5 files have the md5 appended to the end, and I think Odin checks before flashing. Not 100% sure on that though. Checking it yourself is never a bad idea of course.
This newer modem might of improved data throughput. Not entirely sure though, seems like I'm getting faster speed on Speedtest.net but that could be entirely subjective. Thank you invisiblek as always, for your awesome work!
Ok so i followed all instructions on a few different pages on using odin to flash in stock, but nothing i do seems to work, every time i try using odin it fails, ive tried using different usb cords, redownloading the files, downloading them from different sources, nothing seems to work, it was bricked when i tried to flash in cwm, i dont know if i was supposed to root first, but that aside, nothing seems to be working.

For this particular forum, only the SGH-T769 will work with our Odin methods/downloads. You still probably corrupted the NAND rw flashing ours, but at least you know what to do from here on out
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480418 and you should be good to go. remember to download the Odin there, I'm pretty sure each version is phone specific to a small degree. and let us know how it goes.
I've not dealt with Moto's before, All my previous phone's have typically been Samsung, Nexus, and currently my LG G3.
My mom has a Verizon XT926 that from what it sounds like started an OTA update and is now stuck at the red circle, white M logo screen, that says "Dual Core"
I would call myself pretty android savvy, and have tried everything I've found so far without any luck.
Here is the current situation:
I can get into recovery, and fastboot
I have tried using RSD Lite to flash multiple versions of the stock ROM without any success
I have tried using HouseOfMoto method, also without any success
I read through SamuriHL's thread here and at droidrzr.com and tried every possible suggestion without any success
Here is a screenshot of RSD Lite

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also, after attempting an RSD Lite flash, the error message on the phone is:
failed to read signature for partition aboot
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
I thought the above error meant that I was trying to downgrade, but I have even attempted to flash the latest image of VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF.xml and it still fails.
From a few of SamuriHL's posts, i get the feeling this phone has a "corrupt partition table" issue that I don't believe anyone has been able to find a solution for.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys!
.10 is not the most current OTA, that's why you're getting the downgrade error. Look in the general section for the thread with the .15 update.

Same deal, phone returns "fail"
This time it doesn't specify that its a downgraded security version, it just flat out fails. Pretty sure the OTA fried this thing. Oh well.....

you apparently missed some key points in your research, obvious just by looking at your screenshot.
you need to completely remove the "tz" and "gpt" lines from the xml file, then flash again.
your having a pretty basic issue, thats fairly easily fixed.
.... and yes, if it comes to it, i can easily guide you to fixing the partition table, but that doesnt appear necessary at this point.

when we post certain tools and firmwares, we just remove those lines before you get them to avoid this issue. but firmwares posted more for general use will still have those lines, as they are sometimes needed.
if you were to type "gpt error rsd android" into google, im sure there would be many post in threads suggesting the removal of certain lines from the xml as i have suggested.
hope that helps..
edit, added some search terms, just gpt error was too vague.

Still doesn't matter, fails again.
The phone doesn't report anything on screen, the last line is still just "usb connected"
edit: when i try to flash .10 instead of .15, it still fails, but the phone returns a single line of: "failed to read signature for partition aboot"

Already tried that, and DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility_1.4gpt KK, and DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility_1.3.gpt fix.
I'm pretty sure the phone is beyond repair. It just crazy to me because I've been using android since just after the Dream, and of all the horrible things I've done to them, I've never bricked one. Yet a simple OTA from Verizon on a bone stock Rzr HD bricks it, lol.

unless you grabbed that one from a thread, then you havent tried it. its not the same as either of those you mentioned, its newer.
it may be bricked, you will know after you flash that file. there is nothing else im aware of to try.
if everything says it failed when using the utility, then its toast.

What is it doing can you get to the red motorola logo. If you can then try and plug in charger and while connected to charger, when it gets to the red M logo hold power and volume up and volume down at the same time. when screen goes off release right away and then as quick as you can hold the same three buttons untill you get to fastboot mode and then let go. if it gets to fastboot mode then it might just be a bad battery. If it does not then it is bricked and you would need a fastboot cable to get into fatboot mode and flash stock firmware and bring back the device to life.
xt926 Stuck at Droid Logo
ive tried a hard reset and same thing just stuck at boot when i turn it on it makes noise and starts to fired up and then it just sits at the droid sign until battery dies or i hold volume up or down and it powers off ??? i cant get to the recovery menu and some other menu the on where you select recovery but thats it ??? somone please help thanks

I've not dealt with Moto's before, All my previous phone's have typically been Samsung, Nexus, and currently my LG G3.
My mom has a Verizon XT926 that from what it sounds like started an OTA update and is now stuck at the red circle, white M logo screen, that says "Dual Core"
I would call myself pretty android savvy, and have tried everything I've found so far without any luck.
Here is the current situation:
I can get into recovery, and fastboot
I have tried using RSD Lite to flash multiple versions of the stock ROM without any success
I have tried using HouseOfMoto method, also without any success
I read through SamuriHL's thread here and at droidrzr.com and tried every possible suggestion without any success
Here is a screenshot of RSD Lite
Also, after attempting an RSD Lite flash, the error message on the phone is:
failed to read signature for partition aboot
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
I thought the above error meant that I was trying to downgrade, but I have even attempted to flash the latest image of VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF.xml and it still fails.
From a few of SamuriHL's posts, i get the feeling this phone has a "corrupt partition table" issue that I don't believe anyone has been able to find a solution for.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys!

You might have a bad battery.
Here is much faster alternative to the current Odin Tar that is hanging around. Not to diss anyone but putting an important file on a server that makes you pay for high speed access is LAME. This took over 3 hours to download from that server...
This takes you back to: G920VVRU1AOC3, Wipes everything! Like a new phone
Here it is on AFH.com
Fast for every one!
ALL_VZW_G920VVRU1AOC3_G920VVZW1AOC3_CL4318389_QB4424773_REV02_user_low_ship.zip
Latest Odin for this file....
How to use!
Load Samsung Mobile Drivers
Connect Phone while in download mode (Hold Power, Home and Volume down to get there)
Unzip Odin to desktop
Unzip Odin Tar from post #1 to desktop
Open Odin
Select AP and load Odin Tar
Wait a few seconds (depending on PC Speed)
Hit Start then wait until its done.
Do NOT touch the phone while this is in process!
When completed phone will reboot to recovery, do some "stuff" then boot up fresh like out of the box new!

You've been around more times than the ice cream truck in the second week of July. And that's a HOT week! Lol. Thanks for all your hard work sir! Looking forward to seeing what happens and it's good to know that a lot of us here "know you" and your credibility/reputation for producing great work. Keep it up buddy! =)
Having trouble ladies and gents. Hoping for help.
I am soft-bricked ATM.
I was running fine, rooted, and have paid for Flashfire.
I downloaded our friend scrosler's flashable rom with root and I somehow soft-bricked my phone on the first try.
So....I downloaded Odin and the stock rom from this thread, even got the latest drivers just to be sure.
no matter what I do, Odin reports: "complete ( Write) operation failed." and "all threads completed, (succeed 0, failed 1)"
Have tried it multiple times, even switched to S6 factory USB cord and moved around to different prts on my system, all are motherboard driven USB ports.
Any ideas?
Cant get MD5's to match. Have downloaded multiple times, have tried multiple programs to unzip....no luck.
Never mind...was checking MD5 against unzipped file. Zipped MD5 is correct.
Going to try Odin again.
Nope.....Odin still fails.
Would love some ideas of what to try next.

Ok, you are failing on the very first step. Make sure you dont have KIES running on your PC, make sure you are in download mode and make sure you are using factory cable.

PS: Why didint you ask the same question in this thread: [Root/Guide] How-to Root (Simplified)
Never had Kies on this machine. In download mode (press and hold down-vol and button at bottom of face of phone, and power).
Screen is light blue and says "Downloading..." with a big down arrow. Of course, Odin doesn't see the phone until I hit vol-up button.....and I am doing that. Factory cable. Have tried it in multiple motherboard ports....not an add-on card. I have used Odin on my S4 from this machine without problems.
Any other ideas? Thanks for trying to help me.

AT&T D850, rooted, still running 4.4.2.
Yesterday having terrific wifi connection problems...on all wifi.
After hours of work, decided to Factory Reset.
Did on-phone software-based backup and factory reset.
Upon reboot, I get black box message: "Unfortunately, Android System has stopped"
I've had a phone repair teck look at it and he could not get very far. You can actually hit "OK" after the message and y get a microsecond to try and hit something on the screen. he was trying to clear the storage cache.
So, after numerous retries at hardware (button) based factory reset with same results, I'm the owner of a bricked device. Although I rooted to get rid of AT&T trash on the phone, I had little interest in custom ROMS and was afraid of bricking my phone. And after a simple factory reset, that's apparently exactly what happened.
So as if this point, I have a data connection with the carrier, and I can access internal memory via USB...but obviously I cannot go into settings and enable Developer Options or USB Debugging or anything like that.
What are my options to restructure things running purely thru a PC/USB connection?
Any help would be SINCERLEY appreciated.

I think your misunderstanding it, I think your looking at the ads and not the actual download link.
After you enter the code it will count down 8 seconds then you can click download. It brings you to a page with the download link.
That's the download link you then click.

OK- I have all files from other sources. Step 2: Install LG Drivers. I'm sorry- I'm really not a stupid person, but I don't know how to "install".
Do I copy the files in the zip to a certain place in the internal memory of the G3?
Well, OK, I just ran the LG Drivers and it installed to C;\drive.
So , the next step, Install Flashtool...How does this happen? I extracted everything in the zip to it's own folder. I don't see how to install this to the c:\drive.

You extract it and run it. It doesn't install.
When I click on the FlashTool application, I get a dialog box with bunch of parameters.
