Hi Everyone,
I was trying to unlock my Samsung Galaxy S3 I-747M (I'm on Bell in Canada). Everywhere I looked on the internet instructed me to downgrade my version to 4.1.1 and then enter the magic numbers to unlock my phone.
So I followed the steps. Downloaded version 4.1.1 of the ROM, ODIN, etc., except a couple of things went wrong:
1) I forgot to turn on USB debugging mode
2) I've now learned that I should not downgrade from 4.3 back to 4.1.1
When I tried to install the ROM via ODIN it didn't work. Based on the other thread, downgrading from 4.3 will hard brick the phone, so I guess I'm lucky it didn't work.
My question is, where do I go from here? I am ready to give up on the unlock process. I just want the phone to work again at this point.
The phone has the following on the screen:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-1747M
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty Bit: 0
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 1
There is a warning symbol between an image of the device and a monitor and it states "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I can get to the Downloading mode.
I got these messages in ODIN:

Apologies for the duplicate thread
It's my first time posting. I had multiple windows opened and I confused the 2 categories of S3. I should have posted under the I-747M one, when I didn't see my posting there I clicked back on my browser and ended up creating a new posting. Please ignore/delete the other posting. I don't know if there's a way to move this one to the correct category.

Hi to all! First of all, I am sorry if I put my problem in wrong forum. I'm new here...
I was trying to install Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 firmware (I9105PXXUBMI3_I9105POXXBMJ1_I9105PXXUBMI1_HOME.tar.md5) on my Galaxy SII Plus via Odin_v3.09. Unfortunately, I put firmware file in field BL (in previous versions of Odin it was Bootloader) instead of AP. Odin finishes with status FAIL. Complete log is below:

After that, phone is stuck in Download mode. I can't restart it, turn it off or boot it in recovery mode. All I can do is to boot it in download mode again or I get message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" (which, by the way, doesn't work because it Kies cannot see the phone in this state).
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks guys!

Did you try wiping the cache partition?

This thread describes a similar issue.
The user tried flashing the stock firmware through Odin; it bricked the phone.
If you read through it you will see how the issue was resolved.
Thanks , but its for G925F version ? what do I need to do since its not the same version?
Now that is another conundrum I wasn't prepared for. I know that half of the tutorial on that thread is compatible with your phone; half is exclusive to G925F.

I found another thread that explains how to troubleshoot a failed Odin attempt.
It is written for the Galaxy S2, but sounds generalized for all Samsung Galaxies.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-t2345831
If you have access to download mode, you're ok but in order to reduce to a minimum the things that might go wrong, you should:
1- Use odin 3.10.6
2- verify the integrity of the firmware downloaded on sammobile. It should be roughly 3,402,561 kb in size
3- make sure you have Samsung Android drivers installed
4- If all above fails, switch USB cable, and then USB port
If you still have an issue, try downloading the odin flashable TWRP and try to flash it, if it passes, try wiping everything on the phone in TWRP and try the process again
As a last resort, you can try to see if KIES emergency firmware installation will work. If after doing all this you're not back up and running, you're screwed but i doubt you will have failed all of the above.
at first.. you need a custom kernel to root 5.1.1 because of the new system write protection..the second i think you are on reactivation look..look in my twrp thread for more
You got error on sboot.bin due to your flashing bootloader version lower than your device bootloader try to get the latest firmware or flash a custom firmware
If you need further assistance contact me via pm

Pretty sure i bricked this to no repair.
So got my Sprint s6 edge few months ago and rooted it a week after. Sadly i dont know what i used rom wise to root it since its been a month+. Sadly i reformated pc awhile back so can't see the files i used.
Got bored and wanted to try and install xposed to add some new features to my phone. So just tried and i'm prety sure i bricked it hard...
what i followed
gs6.wonderhowto.com/how-to/install-xposed-framework-your-samsung-galaxy-s6-s6-edge-0163918/
It said make a recovery so i did by following
gs6.wonderhowto.com/how-to/install-custom-recovery-your-galaxy-s6-s6-edge-0161619/
I did what he did and after it asked for a reboot i rebooted and it got stuck on samsung boot logo saying "Recovery not SEANDROID Enforcing" in top left corner.
So i googled how to remove root and how to get past this screen and many suggested stock rom. I tried that and odin (v3.09) wont get past "Write NAND!"
I let it set for 20 minutes and nothing happened so i googled and everyone claimed trying different usb hubs and cables so i did that. I've tried every usb hub on my pc(8) and all 3 cables i had. So then tried different version v3.10.7 of odin and it fails with following

SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 1
So now i'm just lost and scared at what to do. I googled "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 1" And my findings are just to use stock rom...but thats what i did in first place. So now i'm stuck with a phone that is continuously rebooting itself to the samsung boot logo....
G925PVPU1AOCF_G925PSPT1AOCF_G925PVPU1AOCF_HOME.tar.md5 is the rom im trying to flash with and i believe it is stock because got it off this forum from a post claiming it was the new stock updated rom.
Can someone please help? I can skype or teamspeak or ventrilo or just use this forum to help me but i'm beyond confused on what to do now...
edit- phone is continuously rebooting itself to the samsung boot logo...but i managed to make it stop by making phone sit in download mode...
edit2- i can not go into recovery or safe mode. All i can do is wtach my phone go to the boot logo "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge" screen then to black screen back to boot screen. And i can put it into download mode.... Thats it...The brick is real...
edit 3- 40 views and not one help lol, seems i'll be craigslist shopping soon.
You tripped the Knox counter, that is for sure. Since you can enter download mode that means it is still possible to install the stock firmware. Did you use the correct firmware for your model?

Is the stock rom i used to try and fix that recovery screwup.
i tried G925PVPU3BOJ7_G925PSPT3BOJ7_G925PVPU3BOJ7_HOME.tar which is a 5.1.1 stock rom and still same results!!!
Try performing a log cat. That is a low skill technique of diagnosing problems in android during a boot loop.

I've been trying to root my galaxy s8 using Odin3 (v3.12) and CF-Auto-Root and I keep getting the same error. Odin is being run as administrator, I tried switching the usb port on my laptop, USB debugging on the phone is on. I couldn't find "OEM Unlock" in settings, I don't know if it's enabled, and if it is, how to disable it. Odin would get to a certain point in the process and the fail and then a bubble with red text appears on my phone saying "SECURE CHECK FAIL : recovery".

I'm having the same problem. I've tried oden 3.11 and 3.12. Tried switching usb ports. Can't find oem unlock but didn't think the smg950u1 had it.
smg950u1 odin fail
Can someone help us?

Bootloader is Locked
The phone's security probably doesn't allow it... probably the version this method worked for was a lower security version.
