Hello everyone , I've always believed your never too old to learn, so when i purchased an s8 (sm-g950w) and found it was frp locked I decided to save myself some cash and fix this situation myself . Well I started out quite confident in my abilities as a member of the "Older but Wiser" community and set about the task of flashing this phone. Well I'm ashamed to admit that I bit off more than I can chew this time and have made quite a mess of it too. I trying to remember how this all started but I flashed the only combination file that seems to work, sm-G950U pda fa70_g950usqu5arg4 to the phone I believed to have version g950wvlu5brj2 on the phone. Now I dont know what firmware to load back on the phone, because the original g950wvlu5brj2 suddenly wont flash back on the phone.The message says invalid binary on Odin. So is it a W or a U file I should be looking for or other information even says F. Maybe some of us.. ARE too old to learn! This is all so confusing now ...Can someone please help me... the phone was supposed to be a gift for my son, I already told him so.

i did a search on this form and i couldnt find nothing similar. to make a long story short when i bought this tablet i was able to put it on DIAG using launcher pro and a few other steps of coarse. and i u was able to read this device on QSTP and i used to get this on QSTP FFA6550-ZRF6500 same one as my Epic 4G. mow here is what happened i was flashing a stock tar ROM with Odin and by accident i checked the clear EFS on Odin and after i a succesfull process after my tab rebooed of caorse y lost all my 3g activation from the tab and when i went to QSTP to load all my activation again it was not able to be detected it on QSTP anymore. now if i go to device manager on windows or QSTP configuration its shows on what port the tab its connected on but under phone number it says NO PHONE. iam wondering what did got wiped? radio or what did i lost? or how can i get back this FFA6550-ZRF6500 or what ever its the right one into this tab? i know it used to have FFA6550-ZRF6500 but i dont know if there is another one for this tab or not. if anyone has any info please let me know thanks in advance..

It disturbs me that in every one of your posts you are mixing up the names of critical tools and systems. I would take a step back, read and understand the systems and processes you need to work with, and then try again.
You sound, to me, like you are rushing to be one of the cool kids without doing your due diligence

Well, to be honest your writing style makes it incredibly hard to figure out what you are even talking about, and of course you aren't going to find what you need when you aren't even using the right terms. It's QPST, not QSPT or any thing other than QPST.

oh **** lol. my bad i didnt notice that. yes thats what i ment QSTP to flash or edits phone. sorry about that. its sucks having bad eyes like in my case. thanks robyr.
and you're in the wrong device forum as no tab plus has qualcomm chips, I imagine you have the Original 7" Tab correct?
I would still be willing to help, but I havent used the QSTP tool that much. We are familiar with Odin. you say you have no 3G, so you're ROM boots up? Can you check if you have an IMEI or an /EFS folder present? If not you may have a very difficult time recovering if its possible at all.
What do you use QSTP for? flashing radios?
More clear info and we can try to help, although Id start by searching you're devices thread.

thanks chrisrotolo for you reply. well i have a sprint version of the galaxy tab 7 inches. sph p100. when i first got it i was able to put it on diag mode to be able to flash it to my boost mobile account. and qhen i sued QPSt i was abel to edit the phone or what ever its called on the tablet and i had it working for over a year. but i was doing a clockwork and recovery flash trough ODIN and i dont know how the hell y checked clear EFS and the damn activation disapeared and when i tryed to reflash it again to my account but QSTP wasnt able to detected. it does show up on the device manager and it shows as the modem and the port wich its using. just like it used to before this whole thing started. but now on QPST it not showing up. this whole,thing its stupid. i dont know what the hell it got wiped when the clear EFS was checked. i had done this clear EFC crap on my spint Epic and i dont have that issue am able to go back to QPSt like nothing ever happened. its just this damn tablet its now showing up as a phone like it used to.. iam about to smash it..
welp... here you are.. http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-imei-efs-repair/
googled it in about 2-3 seconds flat. Restoring IMEI with a box is the probably the best way to go.
I just had my Tab Plus JTAG'ed because I flashed a custom boot loader. ( I was aware I was doing so)
I highly recommend this site. If you're in a rush you can choose rush option. This guy is great, send him an email Im sure he can help.
do you have any /efs folder or nv_data.bin or nv_data.bak files anywhere?
Enjoy. Research a bit more and be careful flashing huh?
Peace.

First of all, sorry if I am posting this in the wrong thread or wrong area.
I'm seriously depressed and deprived of sleep because I finally rooted my phone and everything went wrong.
Yeah, I fell in with that crowd. Shame on me, i know ,_,
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900W8 is the victim. I downloaded CF AUTO ROOT HLTECAN HLTEUB SMN900W8 which, apparently, should have had no problem. Used Odin 3.07 on my laptop and the process was smooth and quick. Buuuut of course my phone got mostly wiped (no surprise here, totally worth the root). Along with that wipe came the rage of Google and Samsung.. don't know why but most apps just force close when I try to open them.
Long-story short I need to regain access to my Google account, my messages (so I can, you know, message my grandmother so she can pick me up at the university) and the ability to have a functional good phone.
I've learned my lesson, I'm leaving this rooting stuff to the more apt. However I need guidance on how to what I believe is called "flash" the system back into having all the permissions it used to have. Not sure what I'm talking about any more.
If it is possible to keep the root and somehow fix the problem (regain access to basic services such as messages and play store) that'd be nice. But really, I just wanna travel back in time and forget this ever happened so late at night that it's almost morning and my feelings are extra hurt.
Hello Dear ,
Its ok just re install the official rom for ur device n900w8 after that just do a full for ur device through stock recovery then install twrp through odin in AP tap from this link
https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote3canada.html
After that boot ur phone to custom recovery then install supersu from this link
https://download.chainfire.eu/743/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip
That's all for rooting ur device mate
Thank You ,
Thanks for the help! But I'm still a bit lost. I did as you suggested and found the 5.0 stock firmware, which I am currently downloading. I will open Odin, plug in my phone, put the firmware file in the AP slot and install it from the download screen on my phone. Same process as the rooting that failed earlier.
However, I don't get the TWRP part.
"after that just do a full for ur device through stock recovery then install twrp through odin in AP tap from this link"
Is that step necessary, or is it just in case I want to try rooting my device again? Also, in the list you provided doesn't seem to be 5.0/lollipop for the phone. But then again, I'm not entirely sure how all that works.
Thanks again!
Installing the Stock firmware did not work. Once the phone boots, everything stops working unexpectedly.
Oh well, I guess it's time to take it to a store ,_,
Thanks anyways!
I am in utter shock. For some strange reason, factory reset worked and my phonne is ok. Not sure how... but it actually worked!
Nice to hear that mate congrats then
Hey Guys!
i really hope you can help me. Im already sitting here for 3 hours and its only getting worse. So i wanted to root my J3 2017. I installed TWRP and then i wanted to install Magisk. After installing Magisk via TWRP my phone wanted the unlock PIN for starting. Like the Code you can set to start your phone for security purpose, i hope you know what i mean. So i typed in my code and thought my phone would start but suddenly the phone says my Code is wrong and i need to do workstation reset (code was 100% correct). I did that and it still appeared. I was still able to get into TWRP. After trying to solve my problems, im now to the point where my Phone is 24/7 On and is showing me "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software".( i dont know how to shut that off and i cant take out the battery). Before that screen came. I tried to install various firmwares via Odin but it never "passed". So now im sitting here with no ideas what i can do and really hoping that i can still fix my phone, especially becaues it was a gift... I really hope somebody can help me. Thank you very much for reading. :crying:
Edit1: Sorry if im in the wrong section
Edit2: I swear i did everything and nothing worked. I went to eat something and cry came back and now it installed the firmware. Like i dont even know like somebody explain me this troll pls.... Thanks anyways guys. GN8
If you really want help or have time to help me, you must know the full story
Guys please, I want your help, I am very, very tired of this problem
I had rooted my SM205F
I put it on "ODIN" and it really worked
And I rooted successfully
Now there is a problem
When I restart the phone or turn it off
Or when it runs out of battery and put it on charge
Suddenly back to Download Mode
And when I restart my phone, the same thing happens, which is going back to the Download Mode again
I thought for a while and said, "Ok, let me put the root file again and flash it, I think I'll get out of this mess." I did this and it worked, then I restarted my phone and then found myself also in the same place..When I put any file it really works, I am still in the same place and the only solution is that I am working completely software for the device
This means that I always delete everything on the device
This went on for two days and I couldn't bear it anymore
So I found another way to root
Which is to install "TWRP" recovery on the phone and root it instead of the "ODIN" program, and I did that today
And I succeeded in making a root
But I found out that I was still stuck too
I tried to find a way out by using "TWRP" or writing code, but it didn't help
I don't want to delete everything on my phone and do the same routine every day. This makes me hate my phone and hate something called root.
And I came here because I heard that this place is wonderful and that there are people who help each other solve other people's problems
This is a beautiful thing
Therefore, I want your help and benefit in order to overcome this problem
I have no problem getting stuck here
The problem is that I don't want to delete my phone data let me say for the 11th time
If you have a solution .. please help ..
Right now I'm still stuck, but I'm not going to do anything. I want your help
Thanks.
Hint: Add "SM-205F " to front of this thread's title thus mainly owners of such phone get addressed

Ok thanks
So, i am in a bit of a pickle right now.
I got two phones for my own use from a friend, saying his little brother destroyed them, and that i can keep them if i want to fix them.
So i did fix them, only to find that they are FRP locked. The first one was easy, because it was a Redmi phone. But the second is the Galaxy j3 2017, and it won't budge.
(The reason for this is that his little brother had lost the account, so he made a new one and now there isn't any way to get to it.)
I already tried reflashing the phone, only for it to do a successful firmware update, but nothing with the FRP.
I learned from my searching that i have to have a Combination file flashed on it, so i can get to the settings and reset it that way.
But i just cant find the right file. Either it won't flash, or in case of my own build combination using the flashed firmware, it shows me it has a bad binary.
I am really really desperate, because I'm trying to unlock it for a whole 5 days, and nothing i do is working properly.
I need any help i can get.
I attached the phones info down below
Oops, the second one is bad, so here's a better one
