No OS? - Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers

So I wiped all of my data with TWRP and went to boot the phone up so that it was as thought I factory reset it, but there's no OS installed and it boots to TWRP.
When I try to flash the stock rom (all 4 variants from Updato) Odin fails and I get an error on the phone saying "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3. BINARY: 2."
Any help for this, or is the phone just useless now?

I did the exact same thing and got the same problems with Odin. Best I can suggest is to try and flash a custom ROM through TWRP. That's what I did and I can use my device, though my ROM doesn't match my baseband and I can't turn on wi-fi, but I think that's just gonna be on my end.
Try looking at @Sands207 or @SonderTech XDA threads for custom ROMs and try and flash one of those. Be really careful to download and flash the correct ones.

you need the latest binary for your device. you cannot downgrade if the sw revision does not match up.

Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 LTE GT-S7275R bootloop, twrp errors

Hi everyone!
I want to ask for help.
Long story short:
Twrp 3.0.2 as custom recovery
Issue: - Takes 5 minutes to boot into recovery,
- Resets itself every time booting into it
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset not working at all
I've tried File system change, repair system file, change system file but none of these are working either. All of this ends with the same error messages:
Failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)
Failed to mount '/cache' (invalid argument)
Unable to mount storage
Unable to wipe Dalvik, Cache, Data, System
SO I PRETTY MUCH CAN'T DO ANYTHING
Tried installing new stock Rom via Odin, full Re-Partition with correct GT-S7275R PIT file, correct BOOTLOADER file, correct FIRMWARE for my region, correct MODEM file and correct CSC file. Everything is correct and legit. Odin flashes, message is PASS, phone reboots into recovery, same recovery, same reset on recovery, restarting my phone, galaxy ace 3 logo, and goes into bootloop.
Tried with Samsung Kies, entered my phone model and S/N number, correct firmware showed up, Kies installed it. Nothing changed still!!!
Tried legit stock recovery for my model, odin flashed it, PASS, phone reboots into the same TWRP recovery... like what the hell!!
Tried flashing CWM recovery, Odin okay, PASS, reboots again into TWRP....
I did not touch my phone, I just didn't use it since 2016, the phone drained and switched off, Since then I bought a new S7, I wanted to check on my Ace 3, so yesterday I've put my Ace 3 in charger, waited a few minutes, tried to boot it, and it got stuck on boot animation... since then, I tried literally everything to get it work.. EVEN WITH COMMANDS IN THE TWRP TERMINAL. NOTHING!!!
In 2016 the phone's status was:
Custom ROM:
cm-12.1-20151001-UNOFFICIAL-loganreltexx
Gapps micro:
tk_gapps-modular-micro-5.1.1-20150927-signed
TWRP:
twrp-2.8.6.0 (now 3.0.2)
BACK THEN, I was able to flash anything, install any .zip, wipe any data, reset my phone, boot normally.
Someone, who knows what the hell is going on, and how to fix it, please tell me.
Thanks.
Remember when you flash the stock firmware via Odin you have to factory reset the phone. It won't boot if you don't reset it.

If you flash the original firmware via Odin, you should have the original recovery as well.. maybe download the firmware from a different source.

Oem locked, frp block, and drk help

Hey guys. I'm in a hell of a bind and could use some help.
My Galaxy Note 5 (N920T, rooted) was running fine on this ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...m-qc6-lite-rom-bloated-knoxed-odexed-t3598686 ; however, I had disabled OEM unlock at one point to try and fix a random app I was playing with. The battery died not long after, causing the phone to reboot. On power, it failed to boot due to custom binary block from FRP, so I decided to try and run the usual troubleshooting of flashing a stock ROM via Odin. Stock images will flash (tried 5.1.1, 6.1, and 7); however, when they try to install I get the error for no DRK. Sometimes I'll also get a dm-verity error as well... So I then tried to flash TWRP or any recovery via Odin to let me fix this issue; however, any custom recoveries I try to flash are being blocked by FRP.
So, I'm in a loop. I can't use my initial ROM because FRP, however I also can't install a stock ROM because of missing DRK, AND I can't fix the DRK or verity errors because I can't install a recovery capable of doing so because of FRP.
IMEI is intact when I look into Download mode, but I can't seem to get anything to work. I've tried the FRP Tool and crack, but that gives me FRP blocks as well (USERDATA).
Am I boned?

Anyone?
same situation, going to try flashing it to stock. Can we just flash a stock bootloader or do we need to start over?
Got it working by flashing stock rom with odin so maybe not exact same situation as you. Hard to find a filehosting site with good download speeds and spent all day trying to get latest stock note 5 firmware. Well good for now.. All started because of a wrong flip of a switch *bangs head on desk*
You need to do a few things. First you need to wipe everything in TWRP including format data, so love your files to some other storage. In Odin go to options and turn off auto reboot. Turn on f reset time, phone bootloader update and Nand Erase All. You need to know that this doesn't always work, if you can't unlock it this way try disabling encryption after flashing stock and TWRP and flash Magisk. Let me know how it goes.

Got as far as getting the firmware flashed via Odin, but when I first boot I get "Device does not have DRK" error. I cannot install TWRP or any custom recovery through Odin due to FRP lock.

if all you are getting is frp lock just flash back to stock like I did and start over rooting etc.

That's not all. Basically, it goes,
Flash back to stock
Reboot
Can't finish ROM install because DRK is unavailable
Can't install anything in locked, stock android recovery
TWRP, autoroot, etc. is blocked from Odin by FRP

No. It started because you didn't back up your phone properly with twrp before going flash crazy

https://www.google.ca/amp/s/forum.x...to-solve-dm-verity-verification-t3293306/amp/ have you tried this? If we can figure this out please don't ever play with oem or have a stock recovery ? that's your security blanket

Help me now please.

Hello! Today I wanted to install the dual speaker mod for s8 +. I installed the zip via twrp and it told me that the mod was succesfully installed. After I restarted the phone, I got a bootloop.i entered twrp to give it a factory reset and gave me a direct failure, and after i thought to give it a format data.I restarted the phone, and after i got a bootloop again and after about 5 minutes it will give itself a restart and i still get a bootloop. Normally after i use format data in twrp i usually wait around 2-3 minutes until my phone opens and goes into the setup to initiate my phone.I tried the stock rom for s8+ flashing in odin and it fails again.I've tried everything I know and I've searched on google and I have not found anything. One thing I get in download mode after I get fail in odin is: SW REV.CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1.
Generally if odin is failing to flash the rom it is the wrong firmware you're trying to flash.
If you were running 8 and try installing 7 it will fail due to the bootloader being updated and it's impossible to downgrade after that.
Another reason is incorrect firmware for you phone.

GalaxyS8+ SM-G955F: BRICK (Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed)

My device has been bricked after attempting to root the device using Odin. (Samsung Galaxy S8+)
The device is stuck in a bootloop with the following accompanying error message in red on the boot screen:
"Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
Here is what happened:
I flashed TWRP using Prince Comsy Odin. (The only Odin that actually works on the s8+)
I then booted into the TWRP recovery.
I followed a set of instructions, clearing the Cash and wiping
I restarted once then booted back into TWRP using Vol-Up + Power + Bixby
I was preparing to install Magisk & "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1" according to instructions to complete the root.
After installing "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1" with TWRP, the system rebooted and i was stuck in a boot loop.
I then got the error message in the bootloop "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
Since then i have not been able to successfully re-flash TWRP.
I now cant enter TWRP recovery boot using Vol-Up + Power + Bixby anymore
The bootloop is about 2 seconds long and too short to enter TWRP recovery
I can enter download mode and thats all
I have gotten the EXACT official stock ROM for the galaxy s8+ in South Africa with the carrier, Vodacom. (XFV-G955FXXU4CRL4-20181228165540)
If i flash with any official Odin version, it either fails or doesnt do anything for hours...
If i flash any Official stock Rom using Prince Comsy Odin then i do get the whole process of flashing with stock firmware being successful with the result saying "PASS".
The phone then reboots and i am still stuck in the same loop saying "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
This is after countless times and hours and hours of reflashing successfully with Official stock rom
I still cant get back into TWRP to do any partitioning or formatting or anything
I really don't mind if i lose all of my data and format the phone but PLEASE can you help me get my phone to work again..."?
Do i need to wait 7 days for the official flash to work?
Is there a way to completely wipe my phone without requiring going into Recovery mode with TWRP? Since i cant get into that state anymore either because of the Error Knox block or because of the Loop being too fast.
Please, please, PLEASE....please help me get my phone to work again...
Sincerely,
I know that Odin 3.13.1 works on the s8+ G955F as I flashed the latest BTU stock yesterday so try that version. I had a similar problem with the G950F and after flashing the files I booted into recovery mode and did a data and cache wipe and the phone rebooted. Flashing a stock rom should have wiped TWRP from the phone.
Reflash your rom or a later one, don't forget to take the tick out of the auto reboot box in Odin, boot to recovery and wipe everything and hopefully you will be good to go. Rebooting on mine took around 35 mins or so when going back to stock.

Fix Soft Brick on J337r4

I pulled a dumdum and tried to flash the 2016 model j3 TWRP on my j3, which ended up soft bricking the device with the "There was an error during the update" display, also didnt help I forgot to actually OEM Unlock (forgot to ran the fastboot command) so now im stuck in a DownloadMode only, and every time I try to flash something, it fails, "SW REV, CHECK FAIL (<BOOTLOADER, RECOVERY, SYSTEM, etc>) DEVICE: 12, BINARY: 4"
Any idea? Last time I had a simular issue I managed to somehow get ahold of the factory hardware test rom, flash that, THEN flash the stock rom and it fixed it on a completely different samsung device, (an E series)
UPDATE: Got it to boot loop, still locked out of recovery mode and the system
