i've tried all the tutorials. i've used different files. pit files and can't seem to find what works i have sm-g955fd its a duo sim. with a united arab emerates csc please help

I do not know what you mean
I do not know what you mean

I mean so I'm trying to root my phone went through the guides as keep getting Odin pit file fails and or it stops loading in the middle of oden

Did you first enable OEM UNLOCK, and USB Debugging? Also I don't believe pit file is needed for what you are trying to do, why are u using .pit? Also are you using the stock USB-C cable that came with the phone? Are you flashing in download mode? If all those are correct try a different computer or laptop. Sometimes USB can be fussy and device won't be detected and linked to USB drivers correctly, this happened to me on one of our computers. Any info you can give would greatly help.

[Q] Help!!Network Lost, IMEI number lost, Cant use network

Phone: Samsung galaxy S 4G ( SGH-T959V)
ROM: CM 7.1
I was using my gadget comfortably for a long time. Suddenly, i lost my mobile network and couldnt make calls. I tried to check network status in
SETTINGS->ABOUT PHONE. There was no help. The IMEI number seems to be lost too. i tried changing the ROM . The results were same. Please Help!!
Look in the development thread grab a one click from the heimdall one click thread and flash back to stock.
The problem is the computer does'nt recognize my phone.. In order to use HEIMDALL, a valid USB connection should exist for communication between the device and the PC.
i have installed all the drivers. Tried to connect with different cables and different platforms(computer). what can i do? Please help!
Have you tried a different usb port? I use the one on the front for heimdall and one on the back for Odin. Most would recommend the back ports.
Delete all drivers and let heimdall reinstall them.
Yes I tried everything. Is there anything I can do? Is there ODIN supported for this phone?
is there any flashable stock rom available for this DEVICE? PLease help!!

Galaxy s6 stuck at boot? Unable to fix

Hi xda members, im new in here and i was hoping for a bit of help
My phone is galaxy s6 SM-920T
I was reading on the net when the phone powered off and started restarting and restating again and stuck at book logo "powered by samsung".
I am not able to go into recovery mode but i can open the os download mode.
Tried many times with odin and no luck
I think due to the phone being full encrypted by me nothing can be done, is there any posibility? Thanks
The same here. I cant get into recovery. I had Terminator Rom installed. I can get into download mode but odin doesnt detect it. I eventoght the usb door was damadged so paid 60$ do replace it at samsung. But odin still doesnt not recognize it. Odin does recognize my Samsung Tablet 4.

Have you made sure you have the latest Samsung drivers installed on your computer?( http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117) And after that, try to see if Odin recognize it download mode, after you have confirmed you wanna flash new Rom ( volum up)

I've had cases where you had to put the phone into download mode THEN open Odin for it to be seen. Maybe try that.
With it in download mode and plugged up open devices and printers and scroll to bottom and see if it shows up. Would be called gadget_serial. Some computers take a while to load the drivers for it as well. You may want to click little popup menu on bottom right of desktop by the time and date and see if it shows it is loading drivers for it. It will not show up until the gadget serial drivers are installed.
Thanks for the help. Nothing worked. It doesnt not recognizes the S6 only my Galaxy Tab 4. Could it be that the usb door wasnt repaired proprely ? Windows doesnt even detect the phone no gadget_serial. Nothing.
Make sure that You're using USB 2.0 not 3.0. My Note 4 worked through usb3.0 without any problem. And S6 doesn't. And if Odin reflash won't fix it. Get pit file and flash it with it.

So it doesn't recognize it all all? Doesn't give you unable to read device error or anything?

First thing to try would be flashing stock firmware with Odin.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rb8iduv2o9i1ece/G920TUVS3DOJC_G920TTMB3DOJC_TMB.zip?dl=0
I recommend Odin 3.10.6
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1dlmxtc0ic7u7ew/Odin3_v3.10.6.zip?dl=0
Report back.
already done, with same results stuck at boot loop, tried to add a custom recovery which got denied by knox

Sounds like DRK may be damaged.
Take the stock OKC firmware and open the archive with 7-zip or winrar and extract the system.img and boot.img.
Download and unzip this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bsreazoonsw4gwv/tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07_by_mkh.mourad.zip?dl=0
Copy/paste the system.img and boot.img into the software directory and run the batch file. It will spit out a system.tar.md5 and boot.tar.md5
Flash the system.tar.md5 with Odin as AP then flash the boot.tar.md5 as AP.

thank you gonna have to try tomorrow due to bad USB cables, will let you know thank you so much for your help
If all else fails, just boot your phone into download phone and install Samsung Kies and restore it using that.
You will need the model & serial number of your phone. It will restore the latest stock firmware on your phone for you..

You cant, I suggest using a friend or family member's serial number that has the same model phone.. the serial number is a way of identifying the correct carrier specific rom.
G920TUEU3COK1_G920TXAR3COK1_G920TUEU3COK1_HOME.tar.md5
G920T1UVU3DOI5_G920T1TMB3DOI5_G920T1UVU3DOI5_HOME.tar.md5
Reflash your phone with one of this ROM will help you to make your problem resolved 100%

I think my s7 edge SM-G935F its now just a brick...

I wanted to update my s7 edge to oreo via odin. So, i think i just flash it bad (instead of put one archive in bl i put other in ap, idk things like that). so i saw it told me An error has occurred while updating the device
software. Use the emergency recovery function in Smart Switch. I tried flashing again the firmware in odin but it just stuck in initialization. I just tried in diferent version of odin nor switch mode.
I tried with diferent usb cable nor other usb port
When i try to recover it with switch mode it just tell that it cant because it isn´t compatible (I even put the s/n)
Could someone tell a alternative tool to odin?
Help please, i think im losing my s7
I'm not an expert, you could try using Heimdall (https://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/) instead of Odin, not sure if that helps.
If not then your phone may be bricked.
If you are desperate there is this thing called unbrickable mod that requires physical intervention, but I haven't found it for s7 edge

[Need Help] Very bad case of soft brick S9+

Hello everyone,
so my phone is soft-bricked after failure attempt to flash combination files in order to fix the csc.
I follow this thread, but the problem actually has nothing with that.
I used the latest patched odin V3.13.1, with a combination file named COMBINATION_FAC_FA80_G965USQU3ARG2.tar, and the proccess failed at flashing the system, and now i'm stuck; unable to flash other firmwares.
Before that, the phone was working perfectly after I've flashed a G965U1 firmware on it, in order to get rid of the bloatware of the original branded G965U (I don't live in the US).
Also, it successfully OTA updated to the latest G965U1UEU3ARK5 Firmware just a few days ago.
Things that I've tried so far with no success:
*Used different usb ports, both usb 2 and usb 3; and different cables
*Using both an Intel-based PC, and an AMD-based. (I know it may sound unrelated, but thats actually what prevented me from flashing the G965U1 fmwr the first time I tried, because i was using and AMD PC)
*Reinstalling Drives, installing latest kies, installing latest samsung smart switch
*using older versions of Odin
*tried to install the original Sprint firmware (v2) G965USQS2ARF4 through odin
*tried to install the G965U1UEU3ARK5 firmware through odin
The phone is stuck in download mode. sometimes if I disconnect and reconnect it, I get an unrecognized usb device message. so I need to reboot the phone again to download mode so the pc will recognize it.
and the result is always a failure:
either due to rev check, with the original OEM firmware
during the installation at 'vendor'/'system' step, due to auth error, when trying the G965USQU3ARG2 Combination file or the G965U1UEU3ARK5 files with patched odin
or even before that step with older versions of odin.
I'm out of ideas... I hope someone here has the knowledge to help in some way, Please...

after writing this post I realized that I haven't tried flashing an OEM rev3 firmware
so I downloaded one after finding out which one is the right file
and I tried flashing it on a completly other pc than the 2 I've already tried it on
and it worked:victory:
here's the recovery after the successful flash:

Trying to go from fully updated(as of 4 days ago) ATT S7 SM-G930A to tmobile

I downloaded the BL, AP, CP, and CSC from updato and have tried multiple versions of Odin3. I am getting model mismatch fail every time. I have downloaded the current samsung drivers, restarted my computer, tried all of my USB ports minus the powered external hdd. I am on a windows 10 PC that is pretty new and have tried usb 3.0 and 2.0. Am I doing something wrong here? I even tried deleting the md5 at the end as some threads said that might be an issue. I have cleared the cache and even done a full reset of the phone. I have tried having it in download mode, setting up odin3, and then connecting. Any help would be appreciated.
My phone is a sm-g930A
Thanks again,
Jonathan
I have ran as an administrator and I have used multiple samsung OEM cables.
