I really need help bringing back to stock.

My phone has been bricked for months. I am trying this guide on xda: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
So far all the stock firmware seems to not work. I am 90% sure my phone is US Retail but I am not sure if it is XT1032, XT1045, Falcon, Peregine, or whatever it is.... So I am confused as to which files I am supposesd to flash to return to stock; and where they are located.
I currently have access to the bootloader and have TWRP custom recovery installed but I don't know how to install the stock firmware. If anyone could help me understand which model my phone is / why my flashing isn't working, it would be more helpful than they could imagine... :good:
Other threads I made on this simply redirected me to that thread, but I can't find any help or related topics :/
Additional info: I strongly believe that the model number is the issue as I followed countless other guides on how to install Cyanogen Mod and a couple other roms since I got this phone brand new. None of the roms flashed properly, none of the recoveries worked, until now. All I have is a recovery left and a bricked phone...( + access to the bootloader of course)

For your Model number Check Ur Mobile Bill/Box...

Could you also look it up with the imei #? In case a box is not available

try one of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54757500&postcount=348

Thanks for the help, but I found the problem.
Opened the back of the phone to check the model number and it was XT1045 like I thought, so I had the right stock images. Problem was I did not have the Motorola drivers for mfastboot installed correctly. I used a guide to install them universally on mac and my phone is back up and running!

[Q] What's the best way to root the D850 running stock Marshmallow?

I got the 6.0 update on my stock AT&T G3 a couple of days ago. Now I am looking to root the phone, but I am confused with the rooting method because all existing methods seem to either mention Kitkat/Lollipop, or the D855 unlocked version. What's currently THE way to root an AT&T G3 running stock Marshmallow?
Thanks!

You'll need to downgrade using LGUP

You could always try KingRoot, however I'm not sure if it works on AT&T Marshmallow. I know it worked on the D855 Marshmallow. Worth a shot.

in reading the threads for lg up i'm unable to find the kdz for lp for the d850. i tried following the link to download official from lg firmware site and after inputting my imei it says not yet available...
any help greatly appreciated. TIA
my goal is to either install a custom recovery / rom
or downgrade to stock LP so i can root ... and then recovery > custom rom
edit: a bit of an update. I was able to get into adb and reboot to stock recovery. took a few tries. and ended up having to use adb over network (so i could keep the phone plugged in to wall charger, my pc charges it but i don't think very well so when i'd issue the reboot to recovery command it would start the loop again and i'd have to start over. finally got it to reboot to recovery. but now i'm stuck at trying to issue the fastboot boot <TWRP.IMG>
says "waiting for device" im so confused right now.... i did remember to plug it back into the computer after it entered recovery (lil green android guy with the text "no command" underneath)
plz someone save my ass! its almost 2:30 am here

Here's your problem, as stated in my back to stock guide AT&T models and the D850 is TOT File only. You won't ever find a kdz because there is not one. You only have a kitkat tot file you can flash.

Samsung On5 G550T1 MetroPCS REV0.4 stock OS anyone?

Hi All,
The short of a long story is that I just changed carriers and found out way late that I couldn't bring my Sprint phone to MetroPCS. So now I'm using the budget PCS On5 that came with the deal when we signed up.
I successfully loaded TRWP and then rooted however, I didn't know about FRP until it smacked me in the face. The root went fine but later SU prompted me to update the binary and when it did, it tripped factory reset protection and soft bricked my phone.
I want to reinstall stock OS on this phone but it appears that I have a software version that I haven't been able to find on the web yet. I found the stock rom for the MetroPCS On5 easily enough but it's Revision 0.0 and the box I have for the phone says REV0.4.
When I try to Odin Flash the REV0.0 version, I get SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2, BINARY 1 fail. So I guess I had the latest software on my phone and the phone thinks I'm trying to roll back using the 0.0 revsion.
My question is this, does anyone here have the stock rom for G550T1 REV0.4? Help!
If nobody does, maybe I can still fix this phone. I have a TRWP backup from the sister phone (same model same revision 0.4) that I'm using right now but I can't get back into TRWP on the soft bricked phone to recover that way to use the backup file.
Next I thought I might take the backup files and turn it into a rom and just flash that. However, with the tutorials I followed I kept running into problems. When I went to unpack the files per the tutorial, my rar software said that the file was corrupt. Maybe it is. but maybe not. It was my first time attempting to make a rom. If I can't find the software I need, could any of you Android geniuses help me get this backup into a flashable format?
I have to admit I'm daunted by the FRS in 5.0 and above. Is it defeatable? How do you root newer Android versions?
Thanks!

I did the same thing to my phone. did you get yours fixed?> if so could you provide me with the rom?

I haven't found the fix yet. Hopefully somebody will come through with a helping hand!

I finally got it figured out! So here is what i did and hopefully it will work for you.
1. I Odin flashed a good BL from the ROM REV0.0 floating around on the net. So at least I could now get into download mode.
2. Then I used Kies3 > Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation. It will ask you for your model number and then when you click ok it will ask you for a SN.
3. The trick is that Samsung doesn't put the SN that you need on the phone or the box. (personally, I couldn't find it on the phone either once I got it up and running) so go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/root-samsung-galaxy-on5-t3435457/page46 and get a SN from post #454 and use that. (don't forget to say thanks)
4. Click Ok. Let it work, and max and relax.
Mine took about 10 minutes. Hopefully this will work for you too! Thanks XDA!

Help!
What is BL from the ROM REV0.0? I need your help, I have the MetroPCS On5 and I installed Reborn ON5 I want to go back to the MetroPCS ROM because the camera and the audio do not work and I tried to install the original ROM through Odin but it does not work I get an error. What I can do? I would like to use this method but I do not have very clear files needed.
You could help me bro, I'll thank you

Xt1543 full brick

Hi, about three days ago my phone had a failure so try to put a rom (a few days ago was a complete inexperienced) and install a rom that had nothing to do with the model, then my phone was left in a brick, to get information that my phone was an xt1543 download the correct rom but trying to install it does not leave me, just shows this on the CMD screen "version downgraded" to think that the error came from the rom, probe with all the rom of xt1543 ( I do not remember the latest version of android that had this cell phone) but with all I get the same error, it does not let me install absolutely any rom, researching in pages a solution could be to unlock the bootloader and then install a rom but it does not let me unlock the bootloader. In a nutshell the xt1543 is in a brick that does not let you install any rom or unlock the bootloader, help!

Someone HELP!!!

Hi all,
I'm having a nightmare of a time with my Galaxy S7... For some unknown reason I decided to root my phone about 2 months ago using CF Auto Root.. worked great.. This morning, was having bad lag issues, so I restarted the phone.. as soon as the Samsung logo came up, I got a red message at the top of the screen saying "Custom Binary locked by FRP".. kind of freaked out and booted the phone into Recovery mode.. wiped Cache and wiped phone (to go back to factory setting I guess).. restarted... since then, I had no boot.. it did loop for a while as I was trying to charge the phone.. but that's it.
Now, the only way the phone will power on is if I plug it into my computer in Download Mode. I am trying to flash the ROM, custom or stock, but Odin fails almost as soon as it starts the sboot.bin and the phone screen shows "SW REV. CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 6, BINARY: 1".. Also, When I try to power on the phone, it HAS to be plugged in to my computer or charger cable and it just loops with a message at the top of the screen.
I can't do anything with this phone and cant find any solutions online... please help! :crying:
PM me for images of all screens please

I had the some problem while playing with my handset I switched off OEM unlock for some reason under developer option..
Next time i reset my handset it stuck on that warning
You need to download combination file, flash it with odin, then unlock developer mode, toggle OEM unlock, than flash back your current firmware, or if you have full twrp back up restore it

This problem appears on the forum over and over. Its a direct result of not understanding what type of S7 you have and what you need to do before modification.
The error you have in Odin means the firmware you are trying to flash is older than the bootloader file on your device. You can never downgrade a bootloader only upgrade.
In your case you need to flash a firmware version 6 or above for your device. So if you have a branded T Mobile for example you will need to download and flash T Mobile firmware version 6 or above. The firmware must also be for your region where you live.
The FRP lock is because you didn't sign out of, or remove the Google account on the device before modification. Its a security feature. It will still appear after you've flashed firmware but as long as you know the email and password the phone will start fine.

Dammit.. I tried to put as much detail as possible in there lol.. obviously I forgot some.. My mistake the Galaxy s7 that I am using is a Rogers Mobile (Canada) SM-G930W8. As for not signing out before modification, omfg, that makes perfect sense.. didn't even think of doing that before rooting.. I appreciate the help!! I will give this a go and see what outcome I get.. Thanks!

[/COLOR]That was nice of you to respond so helpfully, despite you having seen the scenario posted over and over.

The S7 didn't receive Android 9 so the ROM is a custom one. Any issues with custom ROM's should be asked on the ROM thread itself where you got the ROM from. It's quite normal for custom ROM'S to have bugs.
You can try flashing the ROM (Android 9 Pie) again to see if it works. If not there are several different A9 ROM's to choose from.
