I tried to custom install custom rom on my samsung galaxy S III (ATT). After several unsuccessful attempts, my phone is stuck in soft brick mode (shows Samsung Galaxy after reboot and get stuck there).
I installed custom recover mode apps (CWM, TWRP). I am unable to install custom ROMs using these apps in recover mode. I get NAND write error failed and also "No OS installed error"
When I put the phone in Download mode, the device shows the following.
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Qualcomm Secure boot: ENABLE
Warranty Bit: 1
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 3
I am guessing Samsung is blocking custom installs. I am unable to recover the phone to samsung custom rom since I don't have recovery code from Samsung Kies. i can't get back to stock rom as there is no OS installed.
Can you suggest some ideas on how to get past the soft brick ?
-regards
I have a galaxy S6 with the stock 5.1.1 rom tmobile sm-g920t
There was an update for my SU and my phone restarted afterwards. While on the bootup the FRP stopped the boot.
I cannot boot the phone normally, and i also cannot enter recovery mode. The FRP stops it because it is a custom recovery.
I have tried flashing other customs and stocks, of both recoveries and roms.
Whenever i try to flash anything i get an error with a readout of......... SW REV Binary:3 Kernel:2
Please Help

I have a problem. I couldn't remove the reactivation lock, so I deleted the account and resetted it. Then it said "processing failed". So I donwloaded a rom, but still same issue. Then I wanted to download a 5.1.1 rom but it said device 4 binary 3 error, so I installed one with 4 partations (AP, CSC, CP and BL) but same error and then I installed it whitout the BL File and I'm stuck at the samsung logo. I also can't install a custom recovery (blocked by reactivation lock) and I cannot enter the recovery, just the download mode. When I try to flash a 6.0.1 rom i get an error after hidden.img.
Anyone Help??
I have a problem with my samsung galaxy s7. So i wanted to install a custom rom. It went wrong but there were no worries because i could still unlock twrp custom recovery. I had made a backup of my rom, i forgot to wipe the phone and then it got bricked. Now i can't unlock custom recovery and i have tried installing the firmware of my samsung galaxy s7 (android 8.0 oreo). It didn't work with odin because at failes the entire time. Trying a few times and i got another error: the error that says i should download samsung switch and do a emergency reboot. So I installed the smart switch software But it doesn't recognise my phone when I'm in download mode.
my SD card isn't corrupted. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Flash latest January firmware with Odin.
So I have an old SM-G920W8 that was with Rogers, but when I turned it on it would get stuck on the galaxy s6 screen. So I tried entering the recovery thing or whatever it was called but there was text at the top left that said "recovery is not seandroid enforcing", so then I tried to flash the stock firmware back on with Odin 3.10.6 with the ROM I got from Frija, but it fails every time.

Hmm ... Should work.
Have you downloaded the correct firmware?
Best to check the installation guide again and repeat it:
Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920W8 Stock Firmware (ROM Flash File) [DOWNLOAD]
Download the official Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920W8 Stock Firmware ROM (Flash File) for your Samsung Smartphone and unbrick the device, fix boot loop and more.

Keep in mind that flashing a different CSC with Odin needs doing a factory reset with doing data.
That is why I always prefer using "Home_CSC" to keep my CSC and data.

Hi, I've got a Galaxy S6 G920F on Vodafone that I am trying to downgrade from 7.0 to 6 or 5 so that I can go through with an unlocking procedure but I keep getting the error message " SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 5, BINARY 3". Can anyone help?

Seems that you have to flash another firmware version.
