Hi all,
I was asked to look at a Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000 by a colleague. It had been upgraded to 4.4.2, all was fine for a few days until it crashed. It's now in a bootloop spinning on the Samsung screen.
I can access Download mode, but no recovery.
Download screen says:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: GT-N8000
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
RP SWREV: A2
I've tried multiple versions of Odin, multiple official firmwares and multiple recoverys (custom/stock). Generally I get a NAND write Start.. FAILED message for most things. One bootloader file gave me "invalid magic string", and by manually packing files to .tar.md5 format, I can get a blue download bar appear on the tablet but nothing ever happens.
Heimdall is able to read the pit file from the device, but not flash anything (unable to confirm end of file transfer)
This seems to either be failed eMMC, or the bootloader is locked and I just haven't hit the correct software yet. I've been on this for days and don't seem to be getting anywhere.. Where do I go from here? And am I correct in thinking that I cannot access ADB from download mode; the device would need to boot to enable USB debugging?
Thanks in advance.

Hi JJEgan,
Forgot to include that in my original post.
I've tried a few PIT files with no success. It fails at re-partitioning with Odin, and fails to transfer the pit with Heimdall.
Cheers

I've been facing the same thing these days. I was able to install a STOCK ROM here that worked. Well, it's a 4.0.4 android version and it's not recognizing my SIM card, hahaha but it worked until I figure out how to get back to my Gnabo rom OR any other one that can work properly and be rooted after. I can't tell that the same rom i used will work for you cause of the region, but If you would like to try, I can post here and you can flash it and see what happens. Although there is PIT files for 4.0.4 that might me suitable for the rom I've used. =D

What were your symptoms? worth a shot. Thanks.
I have a problem on /efs stuff, well so far I wasn't able to solve it, but as I said, the only rom that was able to be installed was the 4.0.4.
That is the rom i've used.

Local mobile repair shop that carries the tool .
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers mobile app
Hello everyone, I searched here and found several discussions on this problem, but didn't found a solution.
My friend gave me a G920F with a bootlop problem (stock Samsung ROM), it also has a broken recovery which doesn't load at all. I can only go into Download Mode. The fact is, downloading the latest available firmware for ITV, dated 30th March if I remember well, with Nougat, I get the error message on the phone: SW REV CHECK FAIL: DEVICE 6, BINARY 5. Now, how the hell is possible that the phone has a bootloader version greater than the latest firmware available to download?My friend told me she updated the phone few days ago, so it could clearly be the 30th March, which is also the firmware I'm trying to install with ODIN. Anyone could help? I can't really figure it out.
Hi, I've got the same problem. I had stock Nougat on my G920F. Never rooted. Then I recieved a call form unknown caller and the phone crashed. Now it's in a bootloop. I can't access recovery menu, only download mode. Odin fails to push the latest software and I get "SW REV CHECK FAIL: DEVICE 6, BINARY 5" on the phone. I've tried SmartSwitch but it doesn't support G920F anymore. I tried to find sth in here but the only solution I found is to get AOKP, which is dead with no download link. Please help.
I have the same problem. I installed TWRP and LineageOS and want to go back to stock. I downloaded firmware for the phone, start it in Odin and it says in Download screen on the phone: "[CM] SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 6, BINARY 5". I Googled it and only found that I'm possibly flashing older bootloader than what I already have. I updated my phone when it was on stock like 2 days ago.
I will try and download newest firmware I can find, 4/4/2018. and see if it works then.
-------------------EDIT--------------------
It worked! I downloaded a ROM from sammobile from 4/4/2018, can't remember which one exactly but it doesn't matter and I didn't get any issues. Everything works fine now.

so it works?!
Hello wise people of XDA,
This is my first post.
I currently use an S6 G920F United Kindom unlocked as my phone and i have been using this phone for a long time. Now its past its warranty I decided to root the phone and see what i can do with it and get rid of the bloatware. Normally i either use KingoRoot or KingRoot but both failed so I searched around on the internet and came across CF Auto Root. After seeing it was successful for others i jumped on the bandwagon. I rooted it and everything was golden until i came across a problem, it would randomly turn off. This was random and infrequent. but not it happens like 5 times a day so i decided to flash a stock rom. For some strange reason Sam mobile wont let me download a stock Rom so after poking around the internet i have download a few stock roms however they always fail in Odin. Now my phone wont even boot as it says "error occured while updating use smart switch emergency recovery feature" so i go onto the Smart switch PC app and then it doesnt recognise. After 2 days of trying i haven't had any luck so I don't know what to so. Every time I try flashing something, when it fails i get some red text on the phone which I don't understand.
Someone please help me as I cant just buy a new phone and this is the only phone i have got. Any help would be very grateful and please don't hesitate to ask any questions.
Edit:
It says on the Download Screen:
Odin Mode
Product Name: SM-G920F
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Reactivation Lock: Off
Secure Download: Enabled
Knox Warranty Woid : 1 (0x0500)
RP SWREV: B:6 K:2 S:2
(When it fails it says) SW REV. Check Fail. Device:6 . Binary: 5
Hopefully that helped.
Somewhere in the middle of the firmware version there's either S5 or U5, on the firmware you are trying to flash. On the phone either S6 or U6 is installed, and there's downgrade prevention. You need firmware with S6 or U6. By S6 I don't mean the phone, it is just a version code.
Generally look for the firmware meant for the phone's region, though on websites the displayed region might be incorrect.
If the cellular fails change the firmware or wipe data (not efs!!!!!).

What do I do? I have like 10 different "stock roms" claiming to be United Kindgom BTU at Android 7.0 but all are failing. And I do not know what you mean by S5/6 and U5/6. And now i get a different error message. When it fails it now says Binary: 1. I don't know what to do!
Thanks for the quick reply and appreciate the help.

The firmware version(s) look like this,
G920FXXU6ERF5 . If there is U6 on the device and the U5 is flashed, it won't work. There are a few firmware 'components' inside the zip or whatever, and all of these must have the same or a higher version in the middle. New firmware might require odin 3.13.1 but should not show this error.

U6/S6, "Device:6" is in the odin log so it's already 6 and won't return to 5.
Hello,
I would like to downgrade a Galaxy Note Edge (N915FY) to Android Kitkat but I haven't done it in a few years. I wanted to make sure I understood everything before I made any mistakes. I saw on differents topics on XDA that Samsung was preventing to downgrade on their devices since android 5.0.1.
In this case :
Is reinstalling the bootloader of an Kitkat firmware with Odin is enough to reinstall an stock android 4.4 firmware after ?
Did you know where I can find an Android 4.4 bootloader for N915FY (can I extract it from the stock firmware) ?
Did I need to do and tick "Re-Partition" on Odin ?
If I do a re-partition, what PIT file should I use (see on sammobile.com) ? (TBLTE_EUR_OPENBTU_HIDDEN100M.pit or TBLTE_EUR_OPENBTU.pit)
What is the difference between SM-N915FY and SM-N915F, I understand that one was for the European market and the other for the international market (bootloader?, partition?, LTE frequency?) ?
Do any of you have a Kitkat full stock firmware (BL, AP, CP, CSC) region XEF ? I can't find any on Internet, all the links are dead.
Thanks a lot for your help
Feel free to answer me even if you only have part of the answer !

Hello,
Thanks for your answer, I finally left the phone with the latest version of marshmallow available. What surprises me is that I only saw positive opinions on the kitkat version, since the phone works pretty well so I thought it wasn't worth the risk of downgrading.
Maybe the bugs you had come from a problem with the memory chip in your note 4, I have the impression that this often happens after a few years.
Edit: Oh! And did you have to dowgrade you bootloader before install kitkat ? I also tried to install kitkat on a defective note 4 motherboard and I had a lot of bug, but it was without repartion and with a one file firmware (I did'nt find any 4 files/repair firmware for the n915fy with android 4.4). Also an important part of link of firmware listed on samsung-update for kitkat are dead.
Several months ago I've rooted my Samsung Galaxy S7, but was not satisfied and tried to unroot the phone. But it became a drama.
My phone doesn't start up anymore.
I tried to load the original firmware with Odin, but every attempt failed, showing the error message:
Check fail(bootloader) device: 8, binary: 7
I understood that the firmware I was trying to load, was not the most recent firmware.
But I cannot find newer firmware for my model: SM-G930F - The Netherlands
I've downloaded the most recent firmware from Samdb.org and I've downloaded the most recent firmware with the Frija tool.
Also I've tried the Fixppo software from iMyFone, but without success.
From Sammobile unfortunately I cannot download files, so I could not try this way.
Could anyone give me the golden tip?
