Take a break from ODIN and install "Smart Switch for PC or Mac". Go to "more" on top right corner and do a software reinitialize. Type in your phone's model e.g. SM-G920F, hit search, type in your phone's serial number, and it will download and flash the latest ROM straight from Samsung.
Search this in Google for a YouTube video "samsung smart switch initialization" to get the picture of how easy this is going to be.
If it doesn't work, then go back to odin, assuming you have the proper ROM, and check the nand erase option. Do not check the repartition option!!!
BTW, @ronnie498, this thread probably belongs to the Q&A section, not the general section. Thanks.

Thank You very much for your reply, but that didnt work. Smart switch keeps saying "Please Check the model name and S/N, and enter them again" doe i put the right S/N printed at the back of my S6. As for re-trying odin with the "nand erase all" option checked, odin passed but my S6 SM-G920F is still stuck in a bootloop with no recovery. Just ODIN download mode.
:crying: :crying:
920F is international, but there are so many variations of those. Is it a European version? UK model? Maybe try Samung Kies3 this time. Before you uninstall Smart Switch to install Kies3, try the SM-G920F and your S/N once more making sure all letters are CAPs and things like the letter o is not miss typed by a zero or visa versa. If it says mismatch again, uninstall Smart Switch and try Samsung Kies3 this time.
Meanwhile, do you remember what ROM your phone was on when it was working? Was it Android 5.0.1 or 5.1.1 or 6.0.1? Any other info on the original ROM or last working one?

Samsung Kies doesnt even recognize the model name, as for Smart Switch yh; it still gives me "Please Check the model name and S/N, and enter them again" and i ensured i typed the S/N accurately.
and its a UK model, and No i do not have an idea of the ROM that initially on it before the crash.
What are you writing for model name?
I have apparently killed my Note 3 SM-N900T. I was trying to install a new ROM/OS and now all I can do is get into TWRP but it won't let me install any of the zip files. It keeps coming back with an error message saying it failed. I have tried multiple downloads including the DarkLord and the original Samsung, but nothing seems to work. I can't get into Smart Switch even though I have the IMEI number. It's asks for the S/N which is not listed under the battery. Someone please help!!! Here is the list of what I have tried loading:
DarkLord.Note7.Full.Port.V1.0.edit.Ufo71
N900TUVUFOL1_N900TTMBFOL1_TMB-v5.0.1
DarkLord.N5.Beta.N920SKSU2ZPFB_edit.Ufo71
I can also get into Odin, but it only goes the the "downloading now" screen and it's not downloading anything. I spent over an hour on the phone with T-Mobile and Samsung and they were no help at all. I just need to know how I can get any OS/ROM to load.
Thanks for anything you can do to get me out of this jam. I need my phone.

Hello,i have been trying to flash stock firmware on my Galaxy S6 but i haven't been able to do it.While i was digging a solution i noticed that i can't tell which variant of the S6 my phone is.I have been trying to flash SM-G920F firmware until now.I bought the phone 5 days ago at a local mobile shop&service.The real problem now is that i can't tell what has happened to this phone before i bought it.
Back cover of the phone says that my phone is SM-G920F.
It is shown as SM-G920F in phone settings too.
When i enter download mode,it says my phone is SM-G920P.
I have downloaded the "Phone info" app and it says my phone is SM-G920P.
The IMEI is the same everywhere(in the back of the phone,in settings,in "Phone info" app,when i dial *#06# etc.)
I tried looking the IMEI up online and imei.info says my phone is SM-G920F,however the S/N number is not the same as in the back of the phone and in "Phone info" app.The phone settings also show a serial number that differs from the back of the phone and that number is the same as the "Phone info" app number.
Can someone help mee?
Im having a very tedious problem with my galaxy s7 model G930P
So before flashing this combination firmware : https://samsungcombinationfile.com/samsung-sm-g930p
I Flashed the one at the very top
Its file name is VZW_FA60_G930PVPU7ARI1
the problem is I forgot to check what current version my stock firmware is before flashing
the combination firmware itself doesnt give me any substantial info, and all that download mode is giving me is a model name : G930V (Which im sure is incorrect because it literally says G930P engraved on the back of the phone) and it says its B7 (Binary 7???)
Im pretty sure my stock firmware was android 7
Now what ive been doing is basically going through all the android 7 stock firmwares for my model and trying to flash them but one of two things happen
1.I Get an SW REV CHK error saying Fused 7 > Binary 6 or 5 or 4 it depends
2.Download mode disappears and phone boots into a UPLOAD MODE ERROR screen with the green android in the center and some text at the top
I Have no idea how to fix this, any help at all is greatly appreciated!
Will post pictures of download mode, and the upload mode error when the phone is charged
2nd picture isnt very clear but it says SBL ERROR UPLOAD MODE
Text in corner says
SBL Error!

Hi,
My phone is stuck on A51 logo for days now
it charges - I can enter download mode easily - I can sometimes enter recovery mode some other times it doesn't let me
I tried flashing different stock ROMs of android 10, 11 for the phone with different security patches. it ends with success but the phone is still stuck
tried wiping data / wiping cache no luck
I can't boot the phone to OEM or FRP unlock it but i know my gmail address and can unlock it if there was a way to input it
so how can i solve this
(my phone details)
it was on the latest update for june's security patch - Egypt
model number A515F
Same here, but how can you enter in download mode? I want to try to flash original rom aswell.
Has anyone found any information on this yet??

What is your problem exactly? If you are experiencing bootloop even after installing stock via Odin then it's possible your motherboard is dead.

I had a Galaxy a51 5G with cricket, and I am unable to get it to communicate with the Odin tool and I also keep running into an error saying a driver prevented this device from loading
Yes my motherboard was dead. However it has a problem which you can just heat the cpu and retry booting .. it will actually work for months but then die again
