Hi all
I have the GT-N7105T (Samsung Galaxy Note 2 - Telstra variant) and I just recently flashed a Galaxy Note 2 international firmware from Hong Kong via Odin3.
When I try to flash back the stock firmware that came with the phone, it fails. So my question is, How do I reinstall the stock firmware and get it back to the Telstra firmware via odin3?
To help out, odin3 fails just after sboot.bin and I am aware that has something to do with the bootloader. But I would much rather get help from experienced people before I go and possibly turn my phone into an expensive brick
I guess I couldn't wait for the android 4.3 update but I wish to return back to android 4.1.2.
Any help would be extremely appreciated

I used those 2 threads trying unlock my L720, I followed everything up and It went smoothly It worked with (Simple mobile & Straight talk att sim card) but I was not getting a constant service, decided to go back to sprint and then, just trying to go back to stock firmware!
I am getting "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.." in Odin every time that I try MDC, MK2 Stock firmwares says "FAIL! (Auth)" ?????
The only tar that is working is MDC modem tar found on the 1st thread used to downgrade modem to MDC, even though I was in NG2 which is the latest i was stock and rooted!
Then the phone boot up there's no sound no WiFi touch problems or is it the phone is really slow!?. I did a factory reset and nothing!
Another thing, but I noticed this since unlocked it! there is a picture too! Baseban and build are different!
Please any help would be appreciatte it!1 Thank you!
I have a Galaxy s7 SM-G930T and I have went through countless of thread and tried many solutions that worked for other people but I can't seem to get my phone to work. A couple of days ago I tried installing XDA framwork through FlashFire and that got my phone stuck at the T-Mobile screen for hours. I tried flashing the stock firmware that I got off of one of the threads here and I keep getting the error "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [SYSTEM] FUSED 3 > BINARY ." I tried many different stock firmware and they don't seem to work. Also when I try to boot in recovery mode I go in a loop. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: When I was able to get into recovery mode I got this error:"dm-verity verification system"
Some of the solutions that I tried include: Using a different cable, using a different usb port, and trying many different Odin version. None of them seem to work.
You've tried the G930TUVU4APK1 firmware? This is the latest firmware prior to the Nougat beta. As long as your flashing all the correct items (AP, BL, CP, CSC) it should go through with no issues. How are you flashing it through Odin, step by step? What Firmware version are you using?
Here's another method, although I've had limited success (watch the video): https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...p/flash-stock-firmware-using-samsung-t3079176
The post is about the S6 Edge but the process is the same. You'll need your phone's serial number, which should be on the box it came in. Not sure where to find it if you can't boot (maybe on your T-Mobile account online?).
Edit: Here is a link to the latest T-Mobile firmware. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1YW4xR_q5t5UDktc1lSVUFFdGM/view?usp=sharing

Thanks! It worked. I believe I was using older firmware when I tried to flash.

Glad to hear it!
I purchased an "unlocked" S10e off Swappa. It works on my Mint Mobile account just fine. But, it has the ATT carrier branding and bloatware. And, it's stuck at Android 10/October 2020 Security Update/OneUI 2.5.
Can I Odin flash the U1 firmware without causing any problems? It's my understanding that the G970U1 is essentially the same device, but sold by Samsung as SIM unlocked and with no carrier branding/bloatware.
If I download the U1, would I / should I push BL, AP, CP, CSC *and* USERDATA?
Thanks.

I ended up using the Samsung Firmware downloader from here
Samsung Firmware Downloader is a free cross-platform tool to download software updates for Galaxy devices
Looking to download software updates for your Samsung Galaxy device? Check out Samsung Firmware Downloader - it's free and open source!
www.xda-developers.com
Pulled down the latest G970U1 with region XAA. It handled the decryption.
But reading folks having issues going from a U to U1, vice versa, or separate carriers, I found this and downloaded the latest version (originally found linked from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-cant-flash-u1-with-odin-etc-att-s21.4238775/)
Patched Odin 3.13.1
For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...
forum.xda-developers.com
I then extracted the five files and pulled them into the patcheD Odin. Powered off the phone. Started download mode (down vol+bixby button) and plugged in. Odin saw the phone, I clicked start and it finished in only a few minutes.
Is U1s bootloader locked like the u Version?
What about the Canada W?

Can we get an update? How did it turn out? Were you able to get OTA updates? Everything work okay?
I might try this at the library tomorrow. Downloading firmware really sucks without wifi.

I don't believe this process provides an unlocked bootloader.

A little scary process, but overall I'm happy and have had great success. I've received two monthly Security updates since flashing. All the branding/bloat is gone (well, still have Samsung bloat, but that is easily dealt with).

hey, im using g970u from verizon, and im using it indonesia far from usa and it work with my carrier. But i want to change the firmware with the g970u1 for fast update and latest security patch. i Downloded the VZW g970u1 and trying to flashing with odin 3.14.4, 3.14.1, 3.13.1 (including Patched version) but nothing is work, it stuck at setup connection and ended up with fail. How i solve this? many thanks
Excellent share! I purchased an s10e snapdragon unlocked version SM-G970U.
The service provider/Carrier version was ATT/XAA/ATT.
It had all the AT&T bloatware, but my simcard worked fine in the phone (I am based in India)
Furthermore, it had Android 11 and I was not able to upgrade to 12 as it kept saying "phone is up to date" whenever I searched for new updates.
It also dint have that mobile data toggle switch in the drop down task bar.
I followed all the steps in the second post of this thread and I was able to upgrade it to Android 12!
Now the service provider/Carrier version shows as = XAA/XAA/ATT (SM-G970U1). All the ATT bloatware is gone and the mobile data toggle switch is now visible in the drop down task bar. My simcard works fine too!
Good stuff. Thank you @dwcasey .
I have an S10e that was originally under Verizon but now I use it as an unlocked phone. I swapped to an AT&T sim card and the phone started bootlooping (probably during it's automatic FW update).
How can I get the FW sorted back to Verizon. ODIN keeps failing with the Verizon FW on the MD5 check - I read that could be due to it thinking I'm swapping carrier FW.
I'm trying ODIN 3.14.1 Patched to try to update the firmware using HOME_CSC instead of CSC but it keeps failing after SetupConnection.
Any ideas how to get this set up properly again with the original firmware? Or should I try to download the ATT firmware and flash that?
