Hello! My S3 is having trouble after a recent update. I cant find any information on this, but I cant find what the most recent firmware is, nor what the firmware I should try to flash to it is. I tried flashing sammobile's firmware to it (I747) but I get the error <ID:0/004> FAIL! (Auth). If there is anything you need, let me know! I gotta get it back up and running soon! Ahhh!

I see you have made several threads on the same thing in the correct area. Please see the one that is still open.
This is all this section is for, to guide you to the correct section.
As an FYI it seems you need to flash the same stock firmware as the bootloader you have. AT&T has locked bootloaders.
Before I begin, I'll just say that this is my first time posting anything on the XDA forums, so if I'm doing something wrong please let me know.
I got a Samsung Galaxy J7 Perx about a month back, and I've been loving it. I've rooted it since, and it was working great until I installed an OTA update not thinking about it.
The phone screwed up and won't work, it says an error has occurred while updating the device software, and that I need to use the Emergency recovery function on Smart Switch. The problem with that is because I rooted my phone Smart Switch won't recognize it.
The next thing I tried was flashing stock firmware with Odin3, booting the phone into download mode (which I can still do) and flashing the latest firmware on Sam mobile. But it failed saying
<ID:0/004> FAIL! (Auth)
<ID:0/004>
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
and the screen saying sw rev check FAIL : system fused 2 > binary 1 in red text.
I've searched around quite a lot, and the general consensus was to get the latest firmware because the boot loader was blocking it or something. I know that the firmware I tried to get it to ended in ADJ3 (I think) and I was wondering if anyone had that firmware. I'm using the Virgin Mobile variant if that makes a difference.
I really need my phone for work, so if anyone has the firmware (or better yet, a solution to the problem) anything will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

"sboot.bin"
Fail!
if anyone can help it would be amazing
Hey there,
So I am evaluating some devices and app for work. I am in the UK. The devices being looked at are "sm-g888f" they are a modified version of the S7 Active for public services.
I tried to root the device by following these instructions - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/recovery-official-twrp-herolte-t3333770
I got to step 8 where the instructions fail. The guide says; "If you don't see then TWRP boot splash try again from step 6" No matter how many times I repeat those steps I do not get into a TWRP boot splash. Booting up the phone just gets me the Samsung logo. I cant even turn off the device without removing the battery.
When looking back over the instructions more clearly I notice download link in the guide https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys7.html seems to be only for models SM-G930F, SM-G930FD, SM-G930X, SM-G930W8, SM-G930K and SM-G930L, SM-G930S. So I guess what I have done is flash an incompatible version of TWRP which is causing the issue. However I cant find a version of TWRP that seems to be compatible for my model. I then thought I could at least get the phone working again by flashing the stock ROM but there is nothing for my model on https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
I have two questions:
Is my device rootable at all (I am suspecting not now)?
Can I fix the device somehow I am guessing to do some someone would have to know where I can get a copy of firmware that would work for my device?

If your device is in fact G888F which is a really obscure device, and based on S7 active then the cpu is Qualcomm which means you will need to follow the guide to root a Qualcomm device. These chips are particularly difficult to root. My best guess is any firmware for the S7 Active would work on this device.
Can you still get into download mode? If so you can flash stock firmware via Odin which will remove TWRP and probably let you boot normally again.

It is a G888F yes. Ok that sounds promising however the problem I am having now is actually finding the correct guides/firmware. I feel like am being a bit stupid because that should be the easy bit but I cant find these at least were I am looking. For example I have searched sammobileDOTcom/firmwares/ for SM-G891A and S7 active but get no results (I do get results for an S8 active though), searching through the xda forums I found this thread "https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-active/how-to/g891a-android-n-offical-odin-package-t3581042" but the files shared there do not seem to work. Are finding the correct rooting guide and firmware easy for you? Can you share them or advise me on a better way or place to search? Sorry about asking such a basic question.

And just to add the firmware files for an s7 active model that I can find (like this one here https://mega.nz/#!4FBSEYRA!3Sepq2lGz0Y-hINa3eT0i_Ota918zLqSntMrbu8CQAw) all fail when flashing giving the error

<ID:0/007> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/007> FAIL!

I am not sure why it is attempting to re-partition in options I have only checked "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time"

Actives were only built for the AT&T network it was a device exclusive to them only. The only firmware that may work on it is G891A. It's on Sammobile. Then you would need to flash with a copy of Odin 13 (which is posted on this forum) which ignores device mismatch when you flash.

Ok great I think the bit where I am getting different results to you is when I search sammobile for G891A I get no results you can see that at this link: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/search/g891a/ how and where are you able to find the the firmware for G891A on Sammobile?
One week ago (April 8, 2020) I noticed that my Galaxy S7 AT&T phone had suddenly gone to the AT&T Blue Ball logo screen. I assumed that it had just rebooted itself. Some time later I noticed that it had the solid blue light and a black screen. Just pressing the power button did nothing. Not absolutely sure what I did from that point, but eventually the phone went into a "recovery boot loop".
After much searching, decided to go down the road of reinstalling stock firmware using Odin. So far, all attempts end in failure. I have tried different versions of Odin and various versions of firmware. I only ever updated the firmware when automatically prompted by the phone. Not absolutely sure when the last update took place, and I am not sure of what version was running on the phone when it failed. I have also found it frustrating to try to understand the versioning of the stock firmware, and what versio I should be attempting to install.
I'll start with the phone error from one of my last attempts.
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 11 > Binary 9
[1] eMMC write fail: aboot
My guess is that I am trying to load a down level firmware version. So if somebody could confirm that, I would appreciate it.
Here are the messages I get when I boot the phone in download mode.

I have already replaced the phone, so at this point I would still like to attempt to boot the phone without losing everything. So to start with, can anybody point me in a direction that will get me there.
If my only option to get this phone to boot is to "wipe it out", then information on doing that would be appreciated.
I am new to this forum, but I was dealing with the exact same issue yesterday. I was able to fix it using this website:
(since I am a new member I cannot post links, so I replaced dots with !)
www!sammobile!com/samsung/galaxy-s7-edge/firmware/SM-G935W8/BMC/
I paid them $7, otherwise, the download would not work. (Maybe you have a different sub-model. This is the model of my phone)
I used the Odin link this website provides, and now my phone boots

Hi there
When you get a failure of this type it could really be many different things, ( i think the auto update has gone wrong) the only way out of it is to reset the device as you have attempted via Odin. This will obviously wipe the device, which is why you should always back up data on whatever device you use on a regular basis.
Anyway AT&T changed the firmware code for their devices just to confuse people even more, it's now G930U not G930A, so here's the firmware you need to flash with Odin HERE
I know it's a slow download but if you learn to use "SamFirm Tool" you can downlaod any Samsung firmware much faster.
Also, yes the error is as you figured out, newer bootloader on device than you are trying to flash. Any queries let me know.

Sammobile is useful but very slow and i would never pay for speed when a free tool is available on this forum which gets the firmware direct from samsung servers at speed
Here, i'll even share it with you for FREE.
Send me an easter egg!

Thanks for the link!
I could not download any image using this link. Is there any tutorial on how to use this? I agree that paying $7 is not ideal, but at least it worked

Here you go
Also i fixed the link on my other reply.
Did you ever find a suitable ROM? I am having EXACTLY the same problem as you with EXACTLY the same readouts!
