Hi guys,
yesterday I made update of Renovate ROM like other days. First of all I updated new firmware (G950FXXU1AQG5) and restarted to recovery (via TRWP) again to make rom update. BUT...after firmware update my loved S8+ didnt reboot to recovery but freeze on Samsung LOGO. And now I can only start DOWNLOAD mode. There is no way to go to RECOVERY. No reaction on hotkeys, ADB command line doesnt work too...there is no way how to start RECOVERY mode.
I tried DOWNLOAD mode and ODIN to make firmware uploads again but ALWAYS Odin say <ID:0/007> FAIL! (DeviceInfo). So doesnt matter if I had try to upload firmware or complet stock rom or only BL and CL always ODIN give me error.
Please is there somebody who can help me with this terrible situation. I need my phone for everyday work....
Thanks 2 All

Good luck

I'm no expert so take this as tip/question.
Are you using the latest Odin 3.12.3? http://odindownload.com/SamsungOdin/
You can download the bootloader AQF7 from here : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195911671
Possible your tar/md5 is corrupt?
TWRP will be updated to work as soon as Samsung release the kernel source so that it can be updated to work. No ETA unfortunately
Flash a custom "Kernel"!

AQG5 isnt support yet, so phone dont start again like bootloop
download the old Bootloader : BL_G950FXXU1AQF7
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195911673
maybe CL : modem CP_G950FXXU1AQF7
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195911675
flash it over Odin , than restart the phone.
good luck
The new update locks the Exynos bootloader! Don't flash the new Bootloader!

The best we can hope for is that its just enhanced security that can be overcome with the new sources when released. The worst outcome is they've locked the BL and its unlockable like the Snapdragon version which means we'll be stuck on the current BL and will be unable to install new updates that need a new BL.

Well considering that we can downgrade back to the previous BL....we know its not locked. Common sense really.
no need to start posting all over the board the BL is locked unless you have proof of it 100%.

You can't downgrade unless you button mash which is most likely a bug. It's pretty obvious Samsung are trying to stop bootloader unlocking on the Exynos.

Im not sure what you mean exactly...i was talking about simply flashing the previous BL in Odin which people are doing.
And the exynos bootloaders do not and have never required unlocking because they are not locked to begin with.
Further to that this isnt the first time samsung pushed an update that broke twrp and root...its happened lots of times on sammy devices over the years... they will get it fixed no doubt.
Now that's not to say that they arent trying to prevent us from modding our devices...and it may happen at some point that the exynos does get locked...time will tell

It would ruin a lot of peoples phones if they did lock the Exynos versions and would be a very shady move.

Hey guys,
My dad has a SM-G930A 6.0.1 unlocked running on T-Mobile. It is starting to show it's age (battery drain, apps not running like they should, etc.) and is still stuck on 6.0.1.. From my understanding, it should be possible to flash to SM-G930T, however I am a bit lost as to where to begin the process to do so. I tired going straight to 8.0 by flashing the SM-G930T 8.0 firmware files but this didn't work (I didn't think it would work, but it was worth a try). With that said, would it be better for me to just stick to updating to SM-G930A 7.0 via the guides posted, or is there a way for me to Flash the SM-930T 8.0 firmware? Thanks in advance.

Wow you guys really get screwed over there in the US with cell phones. It's a pain in the a** to do anything with your phones.
Anyway I'm guessing the phone was originally AT&T right? And now it's unlocked to any carrier.
If you just want to update the phone to the latest firmware then just flash AT&T Oreo. It won't affect the SIM it will still work as before.
If you want to flash any other firmware including T Mobile then you'll need to unlock the bootloader on the device and that's a whole different ball game. With plenty of guides on how to online.
Make sure you back up all the things you want to keep before flashing

Thanks for the reply! I appreciate the direction. You are right, US phones are a pain. And yes, the phone was originally an AT&T phone, but was unlocked.
As for unlocking the bootloader, I've found different sources that say that unlocking the bootloader on this particular phone is not possible with this particular phone. I did read something about an engineering bootloader being used to get around a locked bootloader for rooting. Could this be used for flashing as well?

That's not entirely true. Using Odin you can flash any USA firmware onto any other USA device, no bootloader unlocking required.
It's very common for people to flash G930U over their G930V/T/A/P devices to remove bloatware

It's unstable and only lets the device charge up to 80%, your best bet woulld just be a full flash with Odin
This guide is a bit dated but it's the best one out there. Just make sure you google the latest Odin and use all 4 firmware files when flashing https://updato.com/how-to/how-to-install-an-official-samsung-stock-firmware-using-odin

Thanks for the reply! I had tried flashing the 8.0 G930T variant last night with the latest version of Odin and the PrinceComsy version and got a Model Mismatch error. I read that the modified Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD would let me flash the firmware and ignore the Model Mismatch error. However, I didn't go through with it because I was not sure if I would brick my phone and instead erred on the side of caution and made my post here. Would I be safe to flash the files from SM-G930T_1_20180625111401_xf3965l42p_fac onto my current device?
If your firmware files are from a trusted source like sammobile, updato or samfirmtool then it should be fine
Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD seems to have positive feedback here on XDA so should be fine too https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572

Greetings-
I apologize for jumping in an already created thread, but I think I am in the same situation, and like to verify with you both before I use the advice please. I have a SM-G930T that I just purchased, and really like to run a custom rom. But I understand I can not because I have Android 8 on it. I know how to use Odin, and have the latest version plus you guys talked about it here. I have also already downloaded the stock rom from sammobile site. What are my options? Is there a rom I can flash the phone with using Odin that would provide better performance, less G..bage, and more battery life? Is there a way for me to root the phone? I really need an app that requires the phone to be rooted.
Thanks

Ok, so flash any unbranded Stock Rom for your device using this version of Odin which has been specifically modified to flash US devices. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572 PatcheD.zip is the file you want to download.
Then when you have checked the phone is working ok on undrnaded firmware you can go ahead and root the device using this method which is again for US Qualcomm devices. https://www.****************/2018/0...on-galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-on-android-8-0-oreo/
Take you time and read instructions.

If I understand it correctly there is no unbranded firmware for the US, its all network specific but you can flash unbranded UK firmware and it will work fine, UK BTU is the one you want from sammobile.
Load into the modified version of Odin and flash.
This is what I found, and downloading.

Yes that's the right one but like the beanvee and i have said there is a specific way to flash this stock then root the device.
You also need Samsung USB drivers installed so your pc can talk to your device, there's plenty of guides around how to flash with Odin and what you need to do beforehand, the only difference with you is the version of Odin your using and then the method of rooting afterwards.

Thanks. I have used Odin before, and I already downloaded the patchD version of Odin from the link. Thank you so much. I'll keep you posted on how it turns out. I still do not have a verified version of a custom recovery for this. Do you guys know of any? I found this link but the link to the suggested twrp does not work. I think it is this one. But I can not be sure. The original link points to a slightly different url.

Nope do not use that TWRP, it will flash TWRP but not boot it and you'll be stuck on Samsung logo forever.
There is still no way to unlock a Qualcomm snapdragon bootloader and i'm not sure anyone is working on it anymore.
All it means is you need to flash custom Roms via Odin or possibly the inbuilt S7 recovery, you just need to check the ROM is in a format which can be flashed that way.
With regards to finding a TWRP solution you'll have to do some serious searching on google and read everything.
There are already several de-bloated stock Roms on the forum if thats what you want to do. Root and custom recovery TWRP are two different things though, you get rooted so your good to go?

Yes root is my main goal, and you are right the debloated roms will work just fine. I can do w/o twrp. Just double checking here; since I am flashing the UK rom, and I believe one of the comments on this thread was how US images are locked tighter, would not I be able to find a UK version of TWRP for my phone? Just checking.

Now pull up a chair and listen closely.....99% of the American devices (including yours) have an extremely uncooperative Qualcommm Snapdragon cpu at it's heart and thus refuses point blank to play ball. The online community have done a fantastic job creating the modifications you are now using. The rest of the world (i'm happy to say) enjoy the S7 with an extreamly cooperative Exynos cpu at it's heart. It just loves to be fiddled with, it's a whore of a chip, constantly on the go with all kinds of neat tricks.
Anyhoo... my point is, the software has to be compatible with the hardware you catch my drift? All the cool little programs are written with a specific piece of hardware in mind, unfortunately for you guys Qualcomm is the ice queen.

Thank you so much. You guys are amazingly patient, and informative. Thank you for educating me, and helping me achieve my goal.
I have tried a few times but can not flash the files. I have attached screenshots, and followed the instructions here. Do you see anything I should be doing differently?
I initially thought the code came as one tar file, which I could flash, but it was a zip file, which I had to unpack.
i got the latest security update via OTA and an now running the G930UUEU9CSA3 firmware, ive tried flashing the eng boot img i originally used to root from here "https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616" but odin fails every time, i'm pretty sure its because the new security update updated the bootloader also... to version 9. now i guess my question is are there any eng boot files for the v9 bootloader available yet? or any other usable root methods available?

That wasn't very clever was it.
Should never update branded unless it's to fix a major bug. Any loophole which allows root or flash is closed on an update until someone figures out how to root on the new boot loader.
I think the best advice to anyone on US networks is to flash unbranded and go from there.

I'm fairly certain that the only twrp for the s7 is a temporary one because there is no unlock for the bootloader, and even still the temp twrp is only compatible with the v4 bootloader and I am currently on v9.... that is unless I'm mistaken if I am then please someone correct me and point me in the right direction because I'd love to be running magisk on my s7 : )

Okay I was completely unaware of TWRP being an option or the possibility of Magisk with a locked bootloader, now to clarify I'm running the latest unbranded US Region firmware for the US T-Mobile version of the Qualcomm Galaxy S7 "(TMB) G930UUEU9CSA3" that being said I have a few questions about how to specifically to proceed if you don't mind helping me?
First is the version of Odin available from the post provided above inst the modified version I've been required to use for all my previous flashing "Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD" should I use this one or the version provided in the post above "Odin3_v3.13.1"?
My next question is that all the different versions and variants of TWRP available for my device the Galaxy S7 and the S7 Edge are either for Exynos Canada/International or Korea or the Chinese Qualcomm variant of each. Should I download and use the TWRP for the Chinese Qualcomm S7?
The sammobile link in the original post for "Android 8.0 Oreo Stock Rom" provides me with a list of the latest and up to date international versions of firmware for the Galaxy S7 Edge "SM-G935FD" I'm assuming I should just use the stock firmware image for my device "SM-G930U" instead?
The link for the no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 is dead but I don't think its needed because of something someone said in the original post about this method failing after latest security update "the one I'm on" https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78115895&postcount=18 he said he solved it easily with information and another flash able zip from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77000849&postcount=47 and the zip from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76564735&postcount=37
All that being said I haven't attempted anything yet, I'll try the above method as I understand it later this evening and I'll post my results

Hello there, i deleted most of your post because i didn't want my post to be huge. So if i just give you some guidelines hopefully you can have a look around for the files you need.
1. For Qualcomm / snapdragon devices you must always use the patched version of Odin you already have. Now this version of Odin can be dangerous if you don't flash the correct firmware for your device because it ignores device mismatch and other safety measures the normal Odin checks for before flashing. Which brings me to.....
2. Anything for G935 will not work for G930 including TWRP, you must always use firmware, patches twrp which specifically says it for G930 Qualcomm/snapdragon devices.
3. The China/ Korea Qualcomm/snapdragon devices are exactly the same as the US devices, anything working on the China / Korea devices will work on the US device.
Now i know you want to root unbranded on V9 but as you are on the T Mobile network it may be easier to flash and root T Mobile Oreo for the time being until there is a workaround root for V9 unbranded.
All of the threads you linked to were for G935 devices and i've mentioned you can't use those patches BUT the process and step by step instructions you follow are the same for your device. So you can follow those guides as long as you are using the patches for your device.
There is a Snapdragon section on this forum so thats a good place to look.
I've had a quick look for this specific firmware and can't find anything about rooting the U9 version yet.....
I'm just checking this firmware G930UUEU9CSA3 your running did have either XAA or USC code next to it when you downloaded? I've noticed Verizon, AT&T and Sprint are using the same firmware VZN, ATT, XAS.

Hello there, i deleted most of your post because i didn't want my post to be huge. So if i just give you some guidelines hopefully you can have a look around for the files you need.
1. For Qualcomm / snapdragon devices you must always use the patched version of Odin you already have. Now this version of Odin can be dangerous if you don't flash the correct firmware for your device because it ignores device mismatch and other safety measures the normal Odin checks for before flashing. Which brings me to.....
2. Anything for G935 will not work for G930 including TWRP, you must always use firmware, patches twrp which specifically says it for G930 Qualcomm/snapdragon devices.
3. The China/ Korea Qualcomm/snapdragon devices are exactly the same as the US devices, anything working on the China / Korea devices will work on the US device.
Now i know you want to root unbranded on V9 but as you are on the T Mobile network it may be easier to flash and root T Mobile Oreo for the time being until there is a workaround root for V9 unbranded.
All of the threads you linked to were for G935 devices and i've mentioned you can't use those patches BUT the process and step by step instructions you follow are the same for your device. So you can follow those guides as long as you are using the patches for your device.
There is a Snapdragon section on this forum so thats a good place to look.
I've had a quick look for this specific firmware and can't find anything about rooting the U9 version yet.....

I'd be interested to know how this turned out if the device with V9 bootloader could be rooted with temp TWRP method.
Can i actually flash magisk on my 930u?
Is there any way to root my g930t ?
I'm on v9 bootloader, and i don't care about knox tripping.
Did developpers really failed to break the security of this little old device ? Or no one worked it ?

Would this info be applicable to edge models as well? Pretty sure our moderator has moved on as he is disgusted with samsungs persistance in blocking root with new bl versions. Im on an unlocked tmo s7 edge with the u firmware as well.

Yes by using 1st and #1623 post number it can be rooted easily. I already have done that on both G930P and G930U.
Hey y'all,
Recently did a firmware flash.
got the idea from here:

Pretty self explanatory as to the how & the why, TL;DR is I needed to flash AT&T firmware onto a unlocked Samsung S22 Ultra [obtained directly from the company store]
Question is now, how do I restore the original firmware onto the phone. I've tried searching the web wide & I can't seem to find any firmware that is original from the 'factory.' That said I must admit I am very new to this.
Hard reseting does not restore it as I should expect but I thought I'd try anyways
Any help greatly appreciated.
If you rooted it the Knox efuse has been tripped, no way to undo this. The Knox features will no longer function regardless of firmware, it's a hardware eprom like device in the chipset.
So if that's the reason to reflash... that bridge has been burned.
Try posting in the thread you linked for more help if you still want to reflash to the stock firmware.
oof. Welp, good thing is I'm not too worried about that feature.
I thought about posting there, but I figured I'd open a thread instead of bogging down posted answers/replies which I thought were useful.
Also bigger net type of deal w/a post.
But, if nothing else that's probably what I'll do.
By chance, would you happen to know where I could find factory firmware?

Sesech for FRIJA. It's a Windows Application that will download the factory firmware.
Good thing is USA versions can't be rooted at the moment. Even better thing is firmware is pretty easy to find. Assuming your model number ends in u1 you usually just have to type in your model number and carrier after it. I just did one last night from tmobile to unlocked firmware. Let me know this information and I'll link you your firmware your gonna need

That is good, thank you for correcting me
The Samsung Experience centers at Best Buy also have the stock firmware versions.
Unless you need a AT&T app the two versions probably aren't going to behave much different.
I have a N975U and a N975U1, both are nearly identical in operation and setup. Both are compatible with the AT&T network.

What is a Knox Warranty Bit and how is it triggered?
Firmware no, unauthorized boot partition yes is how it works I believe.
Hello,
I recently upgraded my Note 20 Ultra (N986U) (ATT) (unlocked) from Android 11 to Android 12 (N986USQU2EVA9) by dirty flashing via Odin. I followed a guide on this forum and thankfully, my phone updated with no issues whatsoever with my data and apps intact. This basically means that I flashed normally except I used the HomeCSC and I left "userdata" empty at Odin.
I just realized that SamFW posted the new ATT firmware, Android 13 (N986USQU3GVK5) and I wanted to update to it via Odin.
The reason on why I want to update it via Odin instead of OTA is simply because I don't live in the USA and I don't have an ATT Sim/network in my country. Can I still follow the dirty flash method for this? I'm just a bit afraid that since it uses a different bootloader version or maybe because of the android version difference I may go into bootloop with no way out. Has anyone tried this?
I would like to apologize if this question has been asked before. I tried scrolling through the depths of XDA forums for answers but I can't seem to find any answers. Thank you for your time!
Hey there just wanna give a quick update.
Yes, it works fine. I've done it personally and every apps, data etc. is intact.
I hope this is useful for anyone who is in the same predicament as me.
