Hello all, first time poster but I've been using xda for a while.
I was following a guys video on youtube on how to Android 6 using ODIN and got to the step of flashing my 5.1.1 bootloader, well it failed.
The phone rebooted and ODIN said FAIL in red.. I now get "SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2 BINARY 1" with the Samsung Boot logo.
I've tried Samsung Kies & Smart Switch but it says the device cannot be initialized or something even though it's the correct model and serial number from my sticker.
I've downloaded the 5.1.1 STOCK firmware from SamMobile and selected the TAR file for AP in ODIN and then failed aswell, my phone rebooted and said the same error message "SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2 BINARY 1"
Could someone please help me, I tried to flash TWRP and that fails too, I ain't bothered about losing everything, would just like my phone to work again please.
Much appreciated if anyone can help!

You could try using a genuine Samsung cable. I find that my other generic cable's are fine for transferring data, but don't play nice with Odin or Kies.

Take a break from ODIN and install "Smart Switch for PC or Mac". Go to "more" on top right corner and do a software reinitialize. Type in your phone's model e.g. SM-G920F, hit search, type in your phone's serial number, and it will download and flash the latest ROM straight from Samsung.
Search this in Google for a YouTube video "samsung smart switch initialization" to get the picture of how easy this is going to be.
If it doesn't work, then go back to odin, assuming you have the proper ROM, and check the nand erase option. Do not check the repartition option!!!
BTW, @ronnie498, this thread probably belongs to the Q&A section, not the general section. Thanks.

Thank You very much for your reply, but that didnt work. Smart switch keeps saying "Please Check the model name and S/N, and enter them again" doe i put the right S/N printed at the back of my S6. As for re-trying odin with the "nand erase all" option checked, odin passed but my S6 SM-G920F is still stuck in a bootloop with no recovery. Just ODIN download mode.
:crying: :crying:
920F is international, but there are so many variations of those. Is it a European version? UK model? Maybe try Samung Kies3 this time. Before you uninstall Smart Switch to install Kies3, try the SM-G920F and your S/N once more making sure all letters are CAPs and things like the letter o is not miss typed by a zero or visa versa. If it says mismatch again, uninstall Smart Switch and try Samsung Kies3 this time.
Meanwhile, do you remember what ROM your phone was on when it was working? Was it Android 5.0.1 or 5.1.1 or 6.0.1? Any other info on the original ROM or last working one?

Samsung Kies doesnt even recognize the model name, as for Smart Switch yh; it still gives me "Please Check the model name and S/N, and enter them again" and i ensured i typed the S/N accurately.
and its a UK model, and No i do not have an idea of the ROM that initially on it before the crash.
What are you writing for model name?
So,there was a new binary update and I click continue.It installed itself but then it rebooted,so the FPR Lock doesn't allow me to continue.
The phone is continuously restarting showing with red letter up the top "Costum Binary LOCKED by FPR Lock"
I could only launch to Download mode which I did.Then I flashed the stock firmware but it failed with the error Error SW REV. Check Fail Device 4. Binary 3
I tried again,but usb was no longer recognized by pc..
WHAT CAN I DO?I bought the phone 1 year ago and now its useless!

Is it surely the rom for the SMJ710FN model?
Will my sim work?(EUROPE)
Try and see.
Two weeks ago, my phone screen was broken. I tried to get my data from the phone with dr fone and some other similar software. however the software on the computer stuck in not responding and the recovery ends badly, while the phone still in recovery mode.
after that I sent my phone to repair and replace its screen but after that, the screen shows recovering... and android robot on the screen
using fonelab I got it out of this situation but stuck in bootloop.
however I tried to install a new firmware by odin 3.12.3 of SM-G920I as it was written on my phone back that it is G920I.
but the installation failed and showed sboot.bin error.
I have checked again the model number in the recovery mode and it shows this number G920FXXU4DPH5 which means my phone is in G920F firmware now!
but the thing that I never understand that I bought my phone from Saudi Arabia from normal shop with no carriers or boundaries and this number means that it have firmware compatible with Vodafone in South Africa!
I think this mistake happened during while I was trying to recover my data :crying:
Now I don't know what to do! which version should I install!
help me please! thank you very much....
