Sorry I could not tag your question due to failure with the mobile app. For starters I did not worry about using the auto-root option since I am not worried about tripping Knox counter. I prefer to flash twrp or cwm via Odin and then flash the current version of supersu from the recovery or if you are looking to install a custom Rom you can just flash it instead. Nothing against CF auto-root but this has always worked for me.

Hi there, you should download smart switch and use emergency firmware recovery, From there you should click 'more' then click emergency software recovery. Key in your device SM-G920W8 then input your serial number (Found on your device Box) then voila, it should download the latest firmware for you.

well, pointing him in a more accurate direction would be much better i guess, no harm intended!

I had a similar issue the solution for me was to install twrp 2.8.7.1 recovery using Odin as my phone lacked stock recovery and would not flash firmware as a consequence.
Sent from my SM-G920W8 using XDA Free mobile app

Nothing has worked yet do i need a pit file?

maybe you should consider bringing your device to Samsung?

I have the exact same problem right now. SM-G920F, tried to root, epic fail, tried to unroot, still a disaster. Smart Switch won't recognize my phone. Trying to download the latest firmware now, but it takes so long.. -_- will keep you posted if I find anything that works!

Supposedly you can't flash that 5.0.2 firmware is because your bootloader is already 5.1.1, therefore you can't downgrade the software, but i saw on Sammobile that Canada is going to get the update soon, so i guess you can use Smart Switch's emergency recovery to restore your phone soon.

So when you started what baseband were you on? Did you update to 5.1.1 I don't care if you did it via a ROM just did you update to 5.1.1 officially or did your phone come with 5.1.1 if it did you need to download the 5.1.1 firmware not the 5.0.2 firmware because of the new bootloader.
Edit: You could always use my guide which can be found here to make your own tar file that doesn't flash any bootloader only system, kernel, and recovery you will also get the latest Note 5 UI this may help you in case everything else fails.

Deleted my OS

Hi
When unrooting my phone I accidentally deleted the OS from my Samsung S6.
My model is SM-G920F
The phone was bought directly from Samsung via Amazon and is unlocked. I live in the UK and my sim is registered to Virgin.
Currently I can put the phone in Downloading (Odin mode) and TWRP.
I have attempted to Flash the firmware with Odin but I get the following fail message each time.

I have updated my drivers and attempted to use a different port on my PC.
I am using Odin v3.12
I have attempted to use Smart Switch but I get the error message
"SM-G920F does not support initialising. Please contact our service centre."
Samsung service centre did not know what to do with the phone.
I would appreciate any advice. I've accepted my phone data is gone.

I've flashed with Odin in the past. Not with TWRP.

if u can accses twrp just flash a rom and it should be good

First of all. What Samsung Firmware are you flashing, are you trying to downgrade to a older firmware version than what is already on there?
Try the latest samsung firmware and make sure it's suited for the model of your device.
Try another usb port and another microUSB cable. It is common for bad microUSB cables to make ODIN flash fail.

How to downgrade from 8.0 to 7.0 on J5-Prime

Hi, so I've nearly given up on doing this, but I've done it before, so I should be able to do it again.
I accidentally upgraded to android 8.0 on my Samsung J5-G570M (J5 Prime - Oi - Brazil) phone, so I would like to go back to 7.0/7.1 or even 6.0. I used Odin last time, and it worked after a few tries, but this time it won't go through. I keep getting the FAIL message on my screen.
This is what I get:

Right now, I just reset the device so I got OEM locked , but the message that I've been getting is still the same. I've downloaded all the correct firmware versions for 7.0 and 6.0 for my device, but none of them seem to work!
Could someone point me towards the right direction?
What I do know is wrong is that this shows up on my phone when I try to flash the old FW:
Kernel Rev. Check FAIL Device:4 Binary:1
So I'm assuming I need to find a FW with another Binary? The Binary changes to 0 sometimes, and if I try to flash AP/BL/CP/CSC as well, it shows "device: 6 Binary: 3" It took me about 4 hours to download each firmware, but I downloaded 4 of them from Sammobile and 2 from updato.
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question, but please help me. I really want to go back to the previous version!
Also, USB debugging was also on.
I've already reset the device, so I have no issues losing my data. I just want to go back to the previous version of android!
Thank you,
Leo
