"debranding" the g920f with odin dont work

hello guys,
yesterday i bought a galaxy s6 (g920f). it got the 1&1 branding but its simlock free. i just read about, that i can use this fw G920FXXU1AOE3_G920FDBT1AODQ_G920FXXU1AOE3_HOME.tar (5.02), flash it with odin, after that a wipe and than update to 5.1.1 with smartswitch. than i got a complete debranded dbt firmware.
ok, thought it would be easy ;P - a ran in conflicts now. odin got errors on flashing. every time it failed flashing. i read about the "hidden.img". i should extract the firmwarefile with 7zip, delete the hidden.img and after that i have to make a new .tar (not tar.md5, cause i will get md5 errors in odin, already tested ) - still fail on flashing....
than i found a pit file, but i dont know how to handle that. i never done that and dont know, whats happening when im flashing it and i dont even know which i have to download.
here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/g920f-pit-file-banded-firmwares-t3118459
hope someone can help me.
best regards taker-`
//edit: meanwhile i triggert knox, so i tried to flash twpr and try to flash the dbt 5.1.1 firmware with the recovery....recoveryflashing also failed - why?

Are you using the official Samsung cable? Odin is very picky about usb cables. How many times did you try? I recently unrooted using Odin, and the first time it failed as well for no reason. I just reconnected the usb cable and tried again, then it worked.

i used the original cable, but i also tried a original cable from a galaxy s5 and s4. same error all the time.
i flashed my s5 with the same cable, same odin version...i want it on stock firmware, cause i sold it. that worked well, but with the s6, it dont work.

Flash this stock 5.1.1 ROM via odin to debrand your G920F.

Flashing Stock 6.01 (PG1) from sammobile, the device wont boot post install

Hello everyone, I need some help here.
I downloaded the latest from sammobile
G900PVPU3CPG1_G900PSPT3CPG1_G900PVPU3CPG1_HOME.tar .md5
and ODIN v3.12.3
I placed the tar file in the AP slot, installed everything, I receive the final okay and the phone reboots to the stock samsung boot animation, and just sits.
Does anyone have any idea why I can't seem to get past the boot animation?
I can pull the battery and install TWRP, and boot to recover fine, but no matter how long the device will NOT get past the boot animation.
Is it possible that I have a bad download? Can I "downgrade" to PE2, without risk of bricking the device somehow?
thanks

Before clicking Start on odin, did you uncheck everything else (autoreboot, f-reset time, re-partition)? I followed all the steps here for that same firmware. It worked for me on first try. Also, did you download the appropriate version for your phone? From what I can see there are 4 versions on sammobile, VMU, SPR, XAS, and BST. I have a Virgin mobile phone, so i got the one with product code VMU.

welp I went back to old tried and true V3.09 and used PE2, and then let it boot after a LONG TIME. Then I upgraded to PG1 using the update feature in "about device".
Not sure why I could not use the latest PG1 tar file, direct from sammobile.
Curious though, has anyone been able to "downgrade back to lollipop, just in case? Or has Samsung locked it down.
I tried to go back to OA6, and also OK4 and I got a fail (red) in ODIN using both sammobile stock files.

You may have to boot into recovery and factory reset once ODIN has successfully flashed. Should boot after that.

HELP!! ERROR!! "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [system]Fused 2 > Binary 1"

Hey guys I need some help please. I am a bit of a noob and was trying to flash the PartCyborgRom using the BootLoopEdition firmware onto my originally G955U (which I had flashed with the G955U1 FW a while ago). And after I flashed the PartCyborgRom AP file through Odin, nothing happened as in the instructions, so I tried resetting the phone and continued to next step (not a good idea on my part) then I loaded the BL file and midway through that Odin gave me a "FAIL!" and the phone is stuck on Download Mode with the following error "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [system]Fused 2 > Binary 1".
I tried going back to stock and flashing all of the stock fw through Odin, but anytime I try to flash anything I get that same error. If I try to reboot the phone normally it tries to upgrade system but looks like nothing is on the phone anymore and is on bootloop. I am not sure what to do, did I **** up really bad and brick my phone?
I can't even get back into Recovery mode! It simply goes on a boot loop where it doesn't find anything in the system.
PS. when I tried to flash the PartCyborgRom my S8+ was on the latest G955U1 fw.

You are trying to flash old firmware. It sounds like you are already on firmware with the v2 bootloader and you're trying to flash firmware with rhe v1 bootloader. You need a stock firmware that has a 2 before the last four digits of the firmware name.

Firmware
It should be all well and good flashing stock firmware with the number 2, but I can't find any on XDA and any links outside either fail or try to make you pay because it's over 2GB... If anyone has a copy and space on their google drive, I'd be very grateful for a valid download link!

Lost IMEI and baseband, ODIN keeps failing

Hello, I'm getting crazy and I don't know what to do anymore.
I have been using the Oreo Rom in the last few days and I wanted to go back to stock firmware using Odin.
I downloaded the last firmware available for my country (ITV) and installed Odin.
The app kept failing when trying to flash and I wasn't able to install the firmware. I tried by flashing only the AP file and I was able to delete TWRP and install the stock recovery. The phone booted up but it acted strange (the touch screen was unresponsive). So I tried to align the CSC using Odin but it kept failing when trying to flash the BL.
I then flashed all files (AP, CP and CSC) without the bootloader and now I have no signal.
Please help me! How do I restore my baseband?

You cannot flash an older baseband through Odin than the one you're on at the moment, at least that's what I was fighting with a few days ago. Check that you're really flashing the latest stock FW and that its baseband is the same as the last one that worked or newer.

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)
