Hi Guys I have a SM N915P and i got it updated on 6.0.1 but i want to iflash 5.1.1 on it. i downloaded the firmware from sammobile but i cannot just flash it Odin Says Auth Fail.
I have downloaded 6.0.1 aswell but the problem is that the version i have downloaded is N915PVPU4DPE2_N915PSPT4DPE2_XAS and the bootloaded i have is N915PSPT4DPF3
just wanted to know wether i should flash this one or it will brick the device? also the device is unlocked and i do not want to lock it again as i have no contact the original owner of the phone.
I have been Doing Rooting and other stuff from years not an expert though but this device is making me crazy, No Root No Nothing..
I'm using a samsung s7 sm-G930f running on android oreo 8.0. I tried kingroot it failed both on mobile and PC, so I try flashing twrp through Odin and it still fail .the thing is I bought this device used when I tried Samsung pass it told me your device has been rooted , yet rootchecker tell me it's not rooted I'm confuse , meanwhile when I got into download mode on my samsung s7 I found G930V and not G930f so I'm even much confuse now. Don't knw where to start from.

The device is a G930V. It's common to fake a G930F to sell it second hand.
You need to follow root guide for G930V

Ehhhhh...I think...sorry to say but you...just got an American Verizon model with a Snapdragon 820 SoC with a permanently locked bootloader. I think you can root it in a different way tho, but unless a miracle happens you will be stuck on the stock ROM forever, but it can be rooted. There is a method to root the SM-G930A but IDK if it works with the 930V model. Never knew people rebranded Snapdragon models as Exynos models, scary. Try asking for a refund or a real G930F with Exynos 8890 SoC, you got misled by the seller. If you already had it or got it from a close person then try to get an Exynos one. That rooting method kinda looks dangerous and involves flashing a bootloader. To clarify which model do you REALLY have, install Device Info HW from Play Store

Listen, NO ROOT will work for G930F because the phone is not G930F, someone has just flashed G930F firmware on the phone but the HARDWARE is G930V. Understand? You have been ripped off.
You first need to put G930V firmware back on the phone with Odin, the oldest version of G930V firmware you can find, not the lastest one.

That is not possible, you just can't flash an Exynos firmware on a Snapdragon model. Someone must've faked the info strings or something else. @Netcrying, can you tell me what the following fields say in Device Info HW?
SOC/Family
SOC/Instructions
SOC/GPU
SOC/Cores
SOC/Clusters
System/Platform
System/Fingerprint
System/Device
The SoC details can't be faked in software, so this may give us a clue of what it really is. I suspect it's a Snapdragon one though, but please post these.

See my previous post before flashing anything and post the information, a mistake with Odin can be costly here in Samsung land. This will let you know exactly what you have

You must flash an engineering bootloader. Good luck, you're on your own now.
Help please, I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930R4 with android 8.0.0 with Compilation (R16NW.G930R4TYSBCTA2).
I've been trying to root it for several days, I have tried in various ways, trying to mount the TWRP or with the CFAutoRoot through Odin but there is no way, I even tried with other programs to root and they all give me an error and on the phone puts me SECURE CHECK FAIL: Recovery.
I have the OEM Unlocking in developer options activated.
Please if someone could help me, what could that error be? Will Bootloader be blocked?
Someone who has an idea and share it with me. Thanks in advance.
Download a stock firmware and flash through Odin. Snapdragon Galaxy S7 bootloader cannot be unlocked.
Hi Everyone!
I Have S8 Plus G955FD which I couldn't get root because of KG Status Prenormal. Even though I have OEM Unlocked in Dev Menu.
Please suggest a fix for this issue.
THANK YOU!
Hint: Add "SM-G955FD" to front of this tread's title thus mainly owners of such a phone get addressed.
