So pretty sure the daughter board for usb is bad in my S8, I keep seeing the moisture warning message. Occasionally the message will go away so I try and plug the phone in to which I get an error in Windows that the "Device Descriptor" error, so basically Windows can't tell what it is, even trying to set the drivers myself made no difference. I've also tried in download mode but still get the same error.
I'm currently on PartyCyborg(With SS) so I can't take the official ota like I was going to as it errors out.
Can I flash a stock rom through flashfire or any other methods to get me back to stock and then I'll take the OTA? Just through my brief research I see that alot of people suggest to only flash system.img or AP and to not try and flash bootloader or anything else.
Any suggestions?
Same rom zip file can be flashed via flashfire but if u to go back to stock, then via Odin flash complete latest firmware of your region
I cant odin because the port is bad, Im stuck on PartyCyborg because I cant take an OTA so Im trying to get back to stock which I need to atleast flash my bootloader, I'm running factory binary basically for BL and think that's why it fails to update

so i am on the latest firmware BOI1 and i decided to root my sprint s6 the other day to try and do a sim unlock. so i am trying now to return it to stock. i downloaded the correct firmware and used the latest odin3(i believe it is the latest) and the md5 check would do good but when i tried to flash the actual firmware it kept hanging on "setupConnection" and fails
Wiped cache and factory reset from recovery. It has hung at getting pit now the last couple times. I re downloaded the firmware directly from sammobile website this time
looking for the pit file. cant seem to find it. does anyone have a link for the 128 gig sprint version? getting desperate here. don't want to do something im gunna regret lol
i found a tutorial to extract it from your phone but without being able to boot up the phone i can not do this. is there a way to run adb commands on a phone stuck in boot loop? is there anyone who can link a valid g920p pit file?
Hello everyone, I need some help here.
I downloaded the latest from sammobile
G900PVPU3CPG1_G900PSPT3CPG1_G900PVPU3CPG1_HOME.tar .md5
and ODIN v3.12.3
I placed the tar file in the AP slot, installed everything, I receive the final okay and the phone reboots to the stock samsung boot animation, and just sits.
Does anyone have any idea why I can't seem to get past the boot animation?
I can pull the battery and install TWRP, and boot to recover fine, but no matter how long the device will NOT get past the boot animation.
Is it possible that I have a bad download? Can I "downgrade" to PE2, without risk of bricking the device somehow?
thanks
Before clicking Start on odin, did you uncheck everything else (autoreboot, f-reset time, re-partition)? I followed all the steps here for that same firmware. It worked for me on first try. Also, did you download the appropriate version for your phone? From what I can see there are 4 versions on sammobile, VMU, SPR, XAS, and BST. I have a Virgin mobile phone, so i got the one with product code VMU.
welp I went back to old tried and true V3.09 and used PE2, and then let it boot after a LONG TIME. Then I upgraded to PG1 using the update feature in "about device".
Not sure why I could not use the latest PG1 tar file, direct from sammobile.
Curious though, has anyone been able to "downgrade back to lollipop, just in case? Or has Samsung locked it down.
I tried to go back to OA6, and also OK4 and I got a fail (red) in ODIN using both sammobile stock files.

You may have to boot into recovery and factory reset once ODIN has successfully flashed. Should boot after that.

Hello,
I rooted my s5 way back when it first came out but I haven't upgraded the firmware at all. From what I remember I had trouble installing a custom recovery so the phone is only rooted. I would like to bring it up to the most current version of android. What's the easiest way to do that? I'm on baseband version G900PVPUIAND2.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I found this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2742994 which had a link to the stock factory image but sammobile doesn't seem to be hosting it anymore. Is there another reliable place that I can get it? Or would just doing a factory reset of my phone make it so I can start taking OTA's again?
The latest stock firmware for G900V is Marshmallow QC1. You can download it here and use ODIN to flash it:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767155677
If you want to root it you can use CF-Autoroot in ODIN. This will trip Knox if not already tripped (but probably doesn't matter on an older phone like this).

If you want to install TWRP you can use ODIN again:

Good luck.
Hey guys I need some help please. I am a bit of a noob and was trying to flash the PartCyborgRom using the BootLoopEdition firmware onto my originally G955U (which I had flashed with the G955U1 FW a while ago). And after I flashed the PartCyborgRom AP file through Odin, nothing happened as in the instructions, so I tried resetting the phone and continued to next step (not a good idea on my part) then I loaded the BL file and midway through that Odin gave me a "FAIL!" and the phone is stuck on Download Mode with the following error "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [system]Fused 2 > Binary 1".
I tried going back to stock and flashing all of the stock fw through Odin, but anytime I try to flash anything I get that same error. If I try to reboot the phone normally it tries to upgrade system but looks like nothing is on the phone anymore and is on bootloop. I am not sure what to do, did I **** up really bad and brick my phone?
I can't even get back into Recovery mode! It simply goes on a boot loop where it doesn't find anything in the system.
PS. when I tried to flash the PartCyborgRom my S8+ was on the latest G955U1 fw.

You are trying to flash old firmware. It sounds like you are already on firmware with the v2 bootloader and you're trying to flash firmware with rhe v1 bootloader. You need a stock firmware that has a 2 before the last four digits of the firmware name.
Firmware
It should be all well and good flashing stock firmware with the number 2, but I can't find any on XDA and any links outside either fail or try to make you pay because it's over 2GB... If anyone has a copy and space on their google drive, I'd be very grateful for a valid download link!

Try sammobile.com.
Free download of the latest firmwares but might be a little slow.
I flashed twrp and booted into stock system and started getting a message saying "only officially released binaries are allowed to be flashed".
I cannot boot into system and whenever I try to flash back to stock 'CRAP' firmware I get a message saying Secure Check Fail : (CM)
PLEASE HELP!
I am new and read that you cannot flash backwards. I was on CRD7 or some crap and tried flashing back to CRAP. Once I downloaded a CRD7 rom and flashed it using Odin 3.13 my problem was solved, but now I have to wait another 7 days to try flashing twrp again so I can get root back. I don't understand why I didn't have this 'only official binaries' and RMM state problem the first time I flashed twrp and was able to root without problems but that was on the CRAP firmware maybe that's why...
