G930F locked on Combination firmware

Hi guys
I need a helping hand.
I have a s7 (G930F fxxu2drb6) with frp lock.
It did not work either realterm, bluetooth, or downgrade (SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2, BINARY 1 SAMSUNG).
On gsm-hosting they suggested to me to flash the combination file "COMBINATION_FA60_G930FXXU2ARA2_CL7964511_QB165812 9 6_REV00_user_mid_noship.tar.md5".
After the flash I can not yet downgrade (W REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2, BINARY 1 SAMSUNG), not even flash again "fxxu2drb6" (FAIL RQT_close).
Can someone help me get out of this situation?
Thank you in advance

Flash latest stock firmware for your region and enable OEM unlock in developer settings to avoid FRP in future. Also try to remember your google account password :silly:

Solved. I flash the latest firmware with an old version of odin

Hi there
When you flashed the combination rom you described did it actually boot into the factory binary ?
Im just curious as i have the same combination rom though my firmware is G930FXXU2DRBE and when i flash the binary with odin it will turn on but wont boot past the samsung S7 screen rhough the blue light comes on and pulsates though this is all it does i was just wonderng if yours did the same.
Thanks

Thanks so much for the reply i appreciate it i might try my combination file with the G930FXXU2DRB6 firmware you used as i need to test my hardware and fix imei but cant get the factory binary to boot on G930FXXU2DRBE firmware my thinking that it wouldnt boot was as its FA60 is android 6.0 MM where as my U2DRBE firmware is FA70 7.0 nougat is your device nougat or marshmallow ? Just trying to work out whats going wrong where for it to not boot on my device as ive lost my imei number flashing a custom rom and dont have access to my TWRP back up for another 3 weeks
Thanks

Hello. I have a similar problem. I have the latest firmware on it: G930FXXS2DRDI There are no ways to lift the Google lock. I have tried everything possible: Bluetooth does not work, Talkback, Realterm, etc. Please for help
My Android Version is: 7.0 (Nougat)

Frp g930fxxu2ara1
Hello my friend, i have this problem too. Have you a fix? this security patch for FRP is incredible....

You CAN bypass FRP on later Samsung models using Combination FW. I have succsesfully done this with S8+/G955F, it should work with any device that has compatible Stock/Combinaton FW.. Here are the steps. Download a compatible STOCK ROM, and some similar COMBINATION FW (by similar i mean both FW to be with the same binary and same android version, duh..) Here are some firmware download links, but you can use whatever you want, according to your device.. G930F STOCK ROM/G930F Combination FW
First, using Odin flash the COMBINATION FW to your phone. After flashing is complete and the phone reboots, allow a few minutes for the phone to boot. If it doesn't boot/gets stuck at bootlogo, reboot/boot to recovery and wipe data/cache, and reboot again. MOST IMPORTANT THING! After the phone boots, go to Settings, enable Developer Options if not enabled, enable USB Debugging, and turn the device OFF using Power button. After the device shuts down, enter Download mode, open Odin, place all 4 files in their respective fields (BL,AP,CP,CSC), and here is the SECOND MOST IMPORTANT THING! In the CSC field place the CSC file that starts with HOME/HOME_CSC (There will/should be 2 different CSC files in the FW archive, one starting with CSC, and the other with HOME_CSC). After flashing is complete, allow the phone to boot normally (don't do anything, don't enter recovery/wipe data). If you followed my instructions correctly, after the phone boots, you should be able to finish the initial setup/skip all steps, without requiring any account. Then go to Settings, enable Developer Options, turn OEM Unlock ON, and finally factory reset the device to complete the process and start fresh.
Don't forget to hit THANKS button if this method worked fo you!

ATRAC3, do you have the combination files and firmware for the SAMSUNG S7 SM-G930FD please and thank you for your wonderful tutorial here.

my odin(tried on v3.12.5/v3.12.7/v3.13.1 ) keep failing while flashing HOME_CSC but will success with CSC, and still required to login google account, what is the issue here ? (are we supposed to insert the pit file by ATRAC3 ? )

Hi mate ive used the G930FXXU2DRBE XSA Firmware and also G930FXXU2DRB6 firmware with the G930FXXU2ARA2 combination rom however it will not boot past the samsung logo the nad passes and is provisioned in top left corner and when plugged into the computer comes online with ADB bypass flasher but it just sits there even if i do a cache wipe and factory reset it comes up with a tango console error or something like that when reset then reboots back to samsung logo and when re installing firmware HOME-CSC will fail every time the only thing ive been able to put it down to is that (1) the firmware is FA_70 which is nougat OS and the combination rom is FA_60 MM or (2) my knox warranty bit is tripped and will not allow a samsung factory binary to be run on it, may i ask what would be the difference with the firmware you have listed to the firmware im already using with the combination rom ? Need to sort my imei number out with the factory nad asap dont have access to my TWRP backup for another week and a half, if it helps my device is not FRP locked and is oem unlocked.
Thanks
Matthew
P.S to all those whom have a bit 2 bootloader on S7 all the loopholes have been patched the only way is to use the combination files ive been through absolutely everything and tried everything this new bootloader update is impenetrable i can google unlock samsung S8 and S9 no dramas and with S9 the OEM lock option dissapears for a week if tampered with but still 15 minutes and its done this **** but got me goin loco holmes !!!!! Maybe they figured this out also as there is only bit 1 bootloaders for both the S8 and the S9 however with S8 i found a stock firmware that allows another way to unlock the device without the need to flash any combination rom.

So in short no hope now to unbrick our Samsung S7 SM-G930F/FD or what.....?

If it gets stuck on the console error and wont reboot to download mode then hold the power button volume down button and power button for 40 seconds and it will re boot to download mode for stock firmware re installation in short basically no theres way to remove the FRP unless you can get the combination rom to boot which from what ive seen some will boot the binary but then it also depends if HOME_CSC will flash to keep usb debugging enabled to use adb bypass program im now using the new G930FXXU2ERE2 8.0 OREO so I've given up on the binary 2 nougat FRP unlocking for now might be best to wait a while for someone to receive a factory binary on the nougat or oreo when sent off and returned so it can be dumped and built into a flashable rom until then not much can be done and i may have to wait another week and a half for my EFS backup :'(

We will be waiting from u for the new combination file when out bro, our hope are hinged on u!

No one is coming up with any method about the bootloader binary 2 for the Samsung S7 G930FD...?

[REQUEST] Galaxy S8+ G955U Sprint CRD4 Bootloader rev3 firmware

Alright so I guess I'm stuck in a situation. I recently updated my firmware to Sprint's latest one (CRD4) and I didn't realize that the bootloader was rev3 and I tried flashing a lower bootloader version. I got a fail in odin and now my phone just reboots to recovery (it doesn't fully enter recovery either, it just says error or installing update). I've tried flashing:
G955USQS2BQL1 (Sprint)
G955USQU2CRC5 (Sprint)
G955USQU3CRD4 (T-Mobile)
and it still says fail. I have no idea what else to do next besides taking it to Sprint but I cracked the corner of my screen and I'm sure they will charge me to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Unfortunately you are stuck on it. In the disclaimer is said you would not be able to downgrade to a previous version for security reasons. You will probably have to wait till the new Sprint version is available to download.

How long do you think that will take since this is my only phone?

You will have to wait until an Odin flashable package of CRD4 or another bootloader 3 firmware becomes available. Without a complete BL3 system flash you are SOL

I think I'll hold off on the OTA update until I hear some safe reports

There is now an ODIN file for bootloader 3 CRD4. You can find the link in the Oreo Beta thread. It should fix your phone

Thank you for telling me. It gives me an error though when I try to download it from SamFirm

Error: Could not send BinaryInform. Status code 200/400
Request was invalid. Are you sure the input data is correct?
Update: Nvm found it. Had to go to the last page

Do you have z3x?
You dont need z3x to flash the tmobile variant, but it makes it far simpler. Which version of odin are you using? If its the prince comsey you will more than likely get the mismatch error.

No worries. I fixed the situation. Thanks for reading!

I am clarifying this, this is s8 plus now stuck on rev3? I got an s8 and went to another forum thread and was told this isn't true. I am stuck on rev3. FYI, updato has the new s8plus firmware if you haven't got it already.

Sos help - nothing pass by odin

the phone was initially on android Nougat 7.1.1, I updated it officially to android Oreo
after that, I flashed new STOCK ROM Oreo too, by Odin for the first time for this phone after unpacking and updating it from Nougat to Oreo
now I cannot flash anything by Odin TWRP, ROOT, STOCK ROM, COMBINATION FILE .... nothing pass
I can't even flash any other stock ROM beside the one i flashed before, either it's the same android version or not
odin always fail
I Waited 190 hours (more than 7 days) of continuous up time without restarting to have access and Remove FRP Lock but no luck at all, still the same

You can't flash twrp because your in prenormal state you have to wait 168 hour no reboots.
Are you trying to down grade to 7.1?

Samsung updated the binary from Nougat to oreo. Its impossible to downgrade. Its thr same with pie, you can downgrade to oreo for now as it still has the same binary on the latest security patch.

For that, the binary is 4 (after the FXXS)
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a8/SM-A530F/MWD/
As you can see, Samsung updated the binary on the latest security update for your region. Its impossible to downgrade to a previous OS due to having different binaries. You'll also find that even though it's oreo, the binary updated from the January security patch to February's. Probably to make way for android 9 One UI.
The only option is to flash oreo but with the February security patch

sw rev. check fail(bootloader) device 8 binary 6

i cant flash stock rom (INS) pie version using oding 14.1, i did try using xtc firmware it says sw rev. check fail(bootloader) device 8 binary 6 too. how to fix this?? please help

Hello! sw rev. check fail(bootloader) device 8 binary 6 means that the ROM you have downloaded has a binary 6 while the device has a binary 8. In Android, or at least Samsung phones you cannot go to a lower binary than the one present in your device. Basically the only fix I believe is to download a ROM that has a binary of 8. If you do not know what binary it has I will leave a screenshot showing which number signifies a binary (Only mind the number in the binary, the U is a part of that but you just need to look at the number when you're downloading the correct ROM).

download latest stock

You have updated your device to Binary 8. Which means you have an updated bootloader. Samsung no longer allows the bootloader to be downgraded so you are stuck there. Anyways there's no worries. There are alot of ROMs and mods to use that you may enjoy.

Hi. Sorry for my bad English.
My problem is that despite uploading the rom, my phone is in a loop and uploading the rom does not help. Please help.

Region - firmware:
sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-j6/firmware/SM-J600FN/XEO/download/J600FNXXU8CTF5
I can go to Download Mode and Recovery.
I guess there is something wrong with Recovery.
The recovery on my phone looks like this:
Android Recovery
samsung/j6ltexx/j6lte
10/QP1A. 190711.020/J600FNXXU8CTF5
user/release-keys
Android Recovery
samsung/j6ltexx/j6lte
10/QP1A. 190711.020/J600FNXXU8CTF5
user/release-keys
Sorry, but I connected to the topic and I think I should start a new topic with my problem.
I am asking the moderator for information or to move my posts to the right place. Thank you.

You have updated your device to Binary 8. Which means you have an updated bootloader. Samsung no longer allows the bootloader to be downgraded so you are stuck there. Anyways there's no worries. There are alot of ROMs and mods to use that you may enjoy.

Can't we downgrade using Combinational rom?

Aleks Skuber said:
Hello! sw rev. check fail(bootloader) device 8 binary 6 means that the ROM you have downloaded has a binary 6 while the device has a binary 8. In Android, or at least Samsung phones you cannot go to a lower binary than the one present in your device. Basically the only fix I believe is to download a ROM that has a binary of 8. If you do not know what binary it has I will leave a screenshot showing which number signifies a binary (Only mind the number in the binary, the U is a part of that but you just need to look at the number when you're downloading the correct ROM).

S8+ g955f stuck at Samsung logo, bad flash

Hey everyone hope you're all well. I have an s8 plus that's not booting. Here's the events that transpired....
My nephew wanted it wiped so I went into recovery and it immediately started to install an update for some reason and wouldn't boot, so I told his brother to flash a stock ROM which he did and booted fine, but with one issue, it showed as 16gb instead of 64gb. At this point I downloaded a pit file and flashed it. I then flashed the stock ROM and it won't get past the Samsung logo.
This is the stock ROM I flashed, AP_G955FXXSADTI1_CL18920278_QB34109287_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS9
I'm guessing I need to flash the correct pit file and then the stock ROM?
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks!

Flash full firmware not just AP file. Flashing AP file only is more than likely the reason for difference in storage size.
No need for pit file. If it is needed it can be exacted from the firmware that you have downloaded.

I did flash all 4 files not just the ap. I only wanted to show the version etc
Now when I try to flash Odin says failed

What Odin version are you using
What errors in Odin
Can you post a copy of download mode and error in Odin

Absolutely. Odin3 3.13
I've also attached a picture of the rom files. For some reason there's 2 CSC files. I tried using both but same issue.

1. CSC files
CSC file will wipe all apps and data ( same as out of the box )
HOME_CSC file will keep apps and data
2. The reason Odin is failing is you are trying to downgrade your firmware.
You are on bootloader version 11 the firmware you are flashing is on version 10. You can check in download mode to check bootloader version. There will be a line saying AP SWREV. The number after the letter B is your bootloader number.
Also in download mode down the bottom ( in red ) will tell the reason why it is failing.
You will have to find what firmware was flash before or wait for samsung to upgrade it's bootloader version.

I see. The strange thing is that this is the firmware that my nephew flashed after it initially failed and it flashed with no errors. The errors only occurred after I tried to flash the pit file, which I'm guessing was a big mistake.
Right so I need to find a stock ROM with bootloader 11. Is there an indicator in the filename that will tell me the bootloader version?

Why do I get this message every day? Throw the darn thing out already.

Flashing the pit file should only fix the partition size and is generally not needed. Flashing the wrong pit file will cause issues. Doesn't effect the issue of trying to downgrading firmware.
As far I'm aware official samsung firmware is up to bootloader 10. Firmware should be downloaded from official site like sammobile or updato or pc apps like samfirm or frija
In regards to bootloader version ( official firmware ) it can be found in the firmware being downloaded.
Bootloader version will be the fifth number/letter from the right of firmware name.
eg:
G955FXXSADTI1 - A - bootloader version 10. I'm assuming the next bootloader version number will start with B
G955FXXU9DTF1 - 9 - bootloader version 9
The higher the number the higher the bootloader version.
Due to samsung anti róll back bootloader version cannot be downgraded.

Buy your nephew a damn phone

I did buy him this phone. Just because it's a little messed up right now doesn't mean I should just thrown it out. This entire forum is dedicated to invigorating devices and keeping them going. XDA didn't accept the philosophy of throwing out devices when they can be repaired. I've been here long enough to know that.
Ffs people are still developing for the hp touchpad and m7 Windows devices!

Thank you very much for your replies. It's very much appreciated mate.
I did flash the pit file and subsequently got errors in odin. I want aware that I was trying to downgrade. I've download from official site and will try flashing today.
Again thanks for the help. Been a while since I've had to do this lol I think the last device I was rooting and roming was my note 3! The support for it is still going strong though!
Cheers

I guess at some point its best to move on. My grandsons S8 had the digitizer go bad tried to fix unsuccessfully bought him a used on on fleabay for $150.

@spawnlives thank you very much. Phone is back up running perfectly. Appreciate it mate
@pego99 that's a judgment call. Fair enough buying an s8 screen is 100 and new is 150 it would be reasonable to buy a new device. However this was a software issue which costs nothing to fix. Your posts in this thread are redundant and useless.

OK it costs nothing money wise but time but time is valuable. i.e. If you spend the next 6 months on this has it cost anything? Nope no out of pocket but a lot of time and nephew has no phone to use. BTW If you bought the phone in working condition how did it get screwed up anyway?

It took less than an hour to fix this phone, that's a cost I can stomach.
if you had actually READ the post instead of commenting asinine remarks them you would know how the phone for corrupted in the first place.
Please stop replying to this now.
