[Completed] Cant get S3 to get past Samsung Galaxy S3 screen after update.

Hello! My S3 is having trouble after a recent update. I cant find any information on this, but I cant find what the most recent firmware is, nor what the firmware I should try to flash to it is. I tried flashing sammobile's firmware to it (I747) but I get the error <ID:0/004> FAIL! (Auth). If there is anything you need, let me know! I gotta get it back up and running soon! Ahhh!

I see you have made several threads on the same thing in the correct area. Please see the one that is still open.
This is all this section is for, to guide you to the correct section.
As an FYI it seems you need to flash the same stock firmware as the bootloader you have. AT&T has locked bootloaders.

NAND write error - same ol' story

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.

HELP! (Note 5 stuck on boot logo without option to go into factory reset)

So as a curious kid I wanted to root my Note 5. I had done so with my old S5, and I saw there was a root out for it. Little did I know that when I tried flashing the root in Odin, it would fail and give me a message that "Kernel is not Sendroid Enforcing".
I said whoops, and looked up on the internet how to fix this issue. Turns out, that I cannot go into a factory restore, and when I try to flash the original firmware from SamMobile, it won't work. I can only go to the download menu. When I try to flash the original firmware it says this:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

what version where you trying to flash and was it specifically for tmobile. Because if it was for a different carrier it wont work

Yes it was specific for t-mobile. Also, this is the video I was using to try and root my phone before this happened:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epLA2EjGXTg
I do realize I most likely tried to flash the files for an older version of Android Marshmallow, but when I try to follow the updated video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2w0Hvgmk7I
And do the power button to home to volume up, it just hangs at the Note 5 logo, and doesn't do anything. I can't go into recovery, and I can only go into download.

well damn and are you using the correct build? and do you see your phone connected in device manager when you plug it

I don't see my phone connected to device manager, and what is the correct build? I started out using 3.10.7

When I try to do it now, it says SW REV Check Fail, Device:4 Binary:2

if you dont see your phone connected you probbaly need samsung usb drivers, and by build i mean your correct phone. Each carrier has a different version of firmware so you need to use the correct 1

The funny part is that is my phone shows up in odin, but not on my computer. I tried on a different computer, it's no use. Still won't work. Downloaded the t-mobile firmware already.

Where is the latest stock firmware for the Galaxy J7 Perx (SM-J727P)?

Before I begin, I'll just say that this is my first time posting anything on the XDA forums, so if I'm doing something wrong please let me know.
I got a Samsung Galaxy J7 Perx about a month back, and I've been loving it. I've rooted it since, and it was working great until I installed an OTA update not thinking about it.
The phone screwed up and won't work, it says an error has occurred while updating the device software, and that I need to use the Emergency recovery function on Smart Switch. The problem with that is because I rooted my phone Smart Switch won't recognize it.
The next thing I tried was flashing stock firmware with Odin3, booting the phone into download mode (which I can still do) and flashing the latest firmware on Sam mobile. But it failed saying
<ID:0/004> FAIL! (Auth)
<ID:0/004>
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
and the screen saying sw rev check FAIL : system fused 2 > binary 1 in red text.
I've searched around quite a lot, and the general consensus was to get the latest firmware because the boot loader was blocking it or something. I know that the firmware I tried to get it to ended in ADJ3 (I think) and I was wondering if anyone had that firmware. I'm using the Virgin Mobile variant if that makes a difference.
I really need my phone for work, so if anyone has the firmware (or better yet, a solution to the problem) anything will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Im having the exact same problem except im on boost mobile can anyone help?

SM-G930A went into boot recovery loop. Attempts to reload stock firmware fail.

One week ago (April 8, 2020) I noticed that my Galaxy S7 AT&T phone had suddenly gone to the AT&T Blue Ball logo screen. I assumed that it had just rebooted itself. Some time later I noticed that it had the solid blue light and a black screen. Just pressing the power button did nothing. Not absolutely sure what I did from that point, but eventually the phone went into a "recovery boot loop".
After much searching, decided to go down the road of reinstalling stock firmware using Odin. So far, all attempts end in failure. I have tried different versions of Odin and various versions of firmware. I only ever updated the firmware when automatically prompted by the phone. Not absolutely sure when the last update took place, and I am not sure of what version was running on the phone when it failed. I have also found it frustrating to try to understand the versioning of the stock firmware, and what versio I should be attempting to install.
I'll start with the phone error from one of my last attempts.
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 11 > Binary 9

My guess is that I am trying to load a down level firmware version. So if somebody could confirm that, I would appreciate it.

I have already replaced the phone, so at this point I would still like to attempt to boot the phone without losing everything. So to start with, can anybody point me in a direction that will get me there.
If my only option to get this phone to boot is to "wipe it out", then information on doing that would be appreciated.

I am new to this forum, but I was dealing with the exact same issue yesterday. I was able to fix it using this website:
(since I am a new member I cannot post links, so I replaced dots with !)
www!sammobile!com/samsung/galaxy-s7-edge/firmware/SM-G935W8/BMC/
I paid them $7, otherwise, the download would not work. (Maybe you have a different sub-model. This is the model of my phone)
I used the Odin link this website provides, and now my phone boots

Hi there
When you get a failure of this type it could really be many different things, ( i think the auto update has gone wrong) the only way out of it is to reset the device as you have attempted via Odin. This will obviously wipe the device, which is why you should always back up data on whatever device you use on a regular basis.
Anyway AT&T changed the firmware code for their devices just to confuse people even more, it's now G930U not G930A, so here's the firmware you need to flash with Odin HERE
I know it's a slow download but if you learn to use "SamFirm Tool" you can downlaod any Samsung firmware much faster.
Also, yes the error is as you figured out, newer bootloader on device than you are trying to flash. Any queries let me know.

Sammobile is useful but very slow and i would never pay for speed when a free tool is available on this forum which gets the firmware direct from samsung servers at speed
Here, i'll even share it with you for FREE.
Send me an easter egg!
