Hi,
I'm from the UK and have an S6 Edge Live demo unit. I was reading somewhere that you can flash the stock software onto it and get it working. In order to do this, I started off by using ODIN to root the phone. This worked fine. Upon the restart, it got bricked. I tried to use the custom firmware, SM-G925F, to try to restore the device, but I keep on getting the following error:
<ID:0/006> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/006> FAIL!
I tried both the VIR and XEU versions, but no luck. Even if I can't flash the stock firmware onto this, is there anyway I can restore the demo unit functionality by re-flashing the demo firmware?
Thanks in advance!
was reading that smart manager for PC have a option to emergency restore firmware...

Thanks for the response. I did exactly that which did seem to get me going and booting into the LDU ROM. This one seems to have the kit, but no modem installed. And it seems to have responded to the T-mobile CF-Root, but i get the same error when I try installing the T-mobile Stock ROM.
leaves the cell turned on until it goes out. After it loads, and off you go into recovery, wipe / reset after power done the cell goes out. Go download and install the FW with odin 3.10.6. Personally tried with SM-G925F :good:

Thanks for the reply, but that still does not work with the SM-G925X (Live demo unit) with the T-Mobile ROM. The build that shows up in recovery is LRX22G.G925TUVU1AOC3. From the T after 925 it tells me it is a T-Mobile variant.
My problem is the same one, I´ve bricked the 925X during the rooting with ODIN Can anybody help? Greetz from Germany
What did you do to unbrick it?
Have you managed to flash a stock fw?
thanks,

Ping pong root does not work. Stock rom via odin does not work.
Android 5 bootloder locks out and fails. I'm working on a solution. Hopefully will have it soon.
Great news cant wait :good: oh and thx
I have flashed a G925F Stock ROM on my S6 Edge LDU - it works!
You only have to remove cm.bin and sboot.bin from the ROM tar archive before you flash it with Odin.
oh, by the way: PingPong is also working! :laugh:

How did you manage to remove the 2 files from the tar archive and keep the rest within it, as all i can do is extract each file from the archive and convert is to tar.md5 separately.
Please share, how you deleted the files from the tar archive what program did you use. As you have flashed the stock rom does it still say live demo unit when booting up.Thanks
If you are using OS X you can just use "tar" on the command line. For Windows the "Total Commander" might be a good and easy choice.
You only have to extract the rom archive and then repack it without the 2 files mentioned. And you don't have to worry about the md5 stuff. It works fine without the validation checksums - just repack it with a .tar ending.
The boot loader will stay the same, so you still have the Live Demo boot screen.

For Windows, can we just use 7z software to open the archive, delete these two files and save it as is

After flashed go on to the dialing pad dial and dial *#0*# this is the command for testing the phone mine comes up as (not register on network) No commands are now working on the dial pad, what's yours coming up as, can you get any command to function after flashing?
Possibly is because the modem file has been flashed.
Have you already opened your LDU? Have you found a modem chip?
No I have not opened it up but have opened up other devices and they have missing antennas and ic chips so there is no use in opening it.

When you dial command on the dial pad like *#0000# or *#0*# you it should take you to the testing page but it says "not registered on network"
What does yours say after dialing these commands?

Here's a little more info that might help. I tried booting the device without holding the buttons just a second ago, and this is what is on the screen.
Image size too large! W:1080, H:1920
display image fail
Secure Fail: Kernel
Ok, so I think I'm having issues because I don't have the right firmware.
From what I've been reading is that there isn't a firmware released for the i527 for AT&T correct? Or can someone point me in the direction for that ROM.

From what I'm gathering there is no TAR available for 442 so we can't flash in Odin. I don't know about you but I can't get to recovery either.

I found these files by chance in the forums somewhere, i repair cellphones and was working on a work around for the replacement screens not working for the i527 At&t, these files will put fix your current softbrick and restore you back to 4.4.2
Using odin v3.09 place each file in each location Pit in Pit, BL in BL, etc. And let finish, everything should be back working once complete. I do not take credit for these files, as stated before i found these on XDA somewhere and cant remember exactly.

Update 2: Added a Wi-Fi Hot Spot Fix, thanks to @cooperg21
Update 1: I have attached the recovery, EFS and PIT I personally used on my phone to do this fix, as requested by a fellow member
I've seen a few people that accidentally "bricked" their Verizon Note 2 by accidentally installing the N7100 Bootloader. I myself did this, attempted the resistor mentioned by a fellow member and that also would not work for me. So I set out to find an alternative way to do it, and was successful. You don't even have to open the phone to do it.
You will need:
Odin Software
Stock ND3 Odin compatible stock ROM (I used N7100XXUFND3_N7100OXAFND3_XEF)
N7100 TWRP Recovery (Latest Version, Odin Flashable)(attached to this post)
An i605 ROM (I used DN3).
A backup of your own EFS(if you have one), or the backup I provided(attached to this post)
N7100 PIT File, to repartition your Internal Storage to work with the stock N7100 ROM(attached to this post)
1. Use odin to write the N7100 pit file
2. Then, using Odin, load "N7100XXUFND3_N7100OXAFND3_XEF" into the "PDA" section, after that was finished, I booted into the stock recovery and did a factory reset. That allowed the phone to boot up, but baseband was "Unknown" and it had no service.
3. Then, use Odin to flash the latest version of TWRP for the N7100(it MUST be n7100 or it will bootloop/stick on the Samsung/Rom Booting screen)
4. Then you must flash "N7100_ND3_DrKetan_Custom_ROM_V82.zip" using TWRP recovery, it will boot that up just fine, still says "Unknown" for baseband(i'll explain later why I flashed this, and am directing you to also flash this, despite bootloader still not working).
5. Afterwards, flash the EFS file(attached to this post) using ODIN. This will help resolve the lost Baseband/IMEI problem encountered with flashing the stock N7100 ROM in Step 1.
5. After that, flash "DN3_v5.2_VZW.zip", again, using TWRP Recovery. After that my phone booted up it had service and all of my apps worked.
When I skipped Step 4, a few apps wouldn't work correctly. Instagram wouldn't refresh the feed or load anything, Snapchat wouldn't open anything or send anything either. I'm not sure why that happens, but it ONLY happened if I didn't flash the N7100_ND3_DRKetan ROM before flashing the DN3 ROM
I know this device is beginning to get old, but I hope this can help someone in the future.

Solution to the DN3 Wifi Hotspot Issue:
1) Download and install Xposed
2) Open and update xposed framework (This didn't work the first time for me but after a clean install of the n7100 rom, then DN3 rom (with all S5 options selected), it worked.)
3) Restart (Might not be necessary but it doesn't hurt)
4) Install the "X Tether" Module in xposed.
5) Restart (Might not be necessary but it doesn't hurt)
6) Turn on mobile hotspot!

I'm honestly not sure, I got it second hand from someone, went to flash a new ROM to it and accidentally did the wrong bootloader for the ROM prerequisite. But I don't imagine what used to be on the phone will matter, because the bootloader from the N7100 would've written over it, and flashing the stock N7100 Odin files will overwrite anything previously on the phone.
I did this but it was just a white screen. mtvideos fixed it

N7100 TWRP Recovery (Latest Version, Odin Flashable)
An i605 ROM (I used DN3).
First, you have to flash the stock ND3 ROM to your phone, it will not get past the Samsung screen, that is normal. You will have to enter recovery mode (Vol Up, Home & Power) and choose factory reset, after that the phone will boot android fine, but will not have service.
You will now have to flash the N7100 TWRP Recovery, followed by flashing an i605 ROM. Personally, I used DN3 and it worked for me.
After flashing the ROM and rebooting the phone, I had a 100% WORKING Note 2 that was previously bricked. Download mode shows N7100, yet the phone is working completely. Data, Voice, Text, etc.
I know this device is beginning to get old, but I hope this can help someone in the future.

I too accidently flashed this N1700 onto my I605
How do you flash the ND3 ROM if you can't get into recovery? With Odin I've tried loading
-N7100XXUFND3_N7100OXAFND3_N7100XXUFND3_HOME.tar.md5
-root66_VZW_stock_system.tar.md5
-I605VRUAND3_I605VZWAND3_I605VRUAND3_HOME.tar
None with no avail.
They all either never get past the PIT file and or unsuccessful, after rebooting both phone and PC and even tried another PC
at this point I am thinking of paying the 50$ for the JTAG fix. However any advice or suggestions would be helpful.
Also I tried this on both 3.07 and 3.09
PRODCUT NAME : GT-N7100
should be i605. The one that messed this up was N7100
N7100_KK_ND3_BL.tar.md5
... after this, it just rebooted and flash the Note 2 screen with GT-N7100 every 2 seconds... I can only put it in download mode. Recoevery mode will not work

On ocassion, I had to or I would get Unknown Bootloader. It would also help to flash the "I605VRAMC3 Modem.zip" file, to ensure you're on the i605 Modem.

Ok I followed it to a T and got it up with DN3 ROM, So now it at least has a ROM.
I need to load i605 EFS, I have both that and the Modem.zip. Question now is I saw many installers via app to install it however they all say N7100 loader only. I am not sure weather to use that method or another one. Would Odin install it ? if so what would be the procedures for this?
ANYWAY THANKS A LOT..

Bootloader
PDA

also inside that tar ball there are 3 files. I don't want to "brick" my device again. I've searched plenty of places for Odin flashing EFS but no avail with these instructions, again many thanks.
THANK YOU.
I actually did not find direction, however I found many bash programs that did it automatically and looked at their code, they Added the efs via PDA
then it booted and for good measure I went through the TWRP and installed the modem. Rebooted and I GOT 4G back and a working ROM. If you need any designs / music mixing or anything like that I can see what I can do. Life Saver !
Question, from now on will I need to install roms that are for the N7100 ? I will backup/restore the efs/modem just in case for these too correct if this is the case?
Or can I install i605 ROMS ?
Again MUCH KUDOS !:good:

I haven't tried any other ROMs, I do know that some kernels don't do too well, flashing the AGNI kernel caused me to lose my baseband no matter what I flashed afterwards, haven't found out why yet. The ROM that you flashed at the end, that the phone works with, is a i605 ROM right from the Verizon Note 2 section of these forums. And sorry for the delay in reply, had to do some work on my car lol

That's most likely a problem with the ROM itself, but either way you're welcome -- i'm glad I could help you.
I think I have the same issue as you. I wasn't paying attention and I installed a n7100 bootloader on my i605 phone.
Anyway, I did a search for N7100XXUFND3_N7100OXAFND3_XEF and it looks as if that rom is French. Is that going to cause an issue?

I think I have the same issue as you. I wasn't paying attention and I installed a n7100 bootloader on my i605 phone.
Anyway, I did a search for N7100XXUFND3_N7100OXAFND3_XEF and it looks as if that rom is French. Is that going to cause an issue?

No, there won't be any problems. I'm in the USA and speak english and it worked fine for me.

Thank you very much. I was able to get it installed (kindof). It kept on flashing up with errors. I was able to get TWRP installed. However, my PC says that my phone's capacity is only 107MB now.
I'm going to try putting my SD card back in (had to take it out to get the PIT file working).
I couldn't find the ROM "N7100_ND3_DrKetan_Custom_ROM_V82.zip"but found "N7100_ND3_Prerooted_deknoxed_debloatableV3".
Would that work before I install the i605 rom? Thanks again for all of your help!!!!!!

Are you sure you flashed the N7100 recovery, rather than the i605 recovery?
Also, here is a link to the DrKetan ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472270
would be sweet to see if this worked for locked bootloaders and allowed us to flash stuff again
Anybody out there wanna test? I'm pretty close to testing it on mine...since i'm about ready to switch to T-Mobile anyways.
Well, I'm taking the plunge now.
I went in to flash Trent's new B8, wiped data and TWRP crashed or something, then it bootlooped at the Note 2 screen. So instead of ODIN'ing back to VZW stock, i'm going to intentionally brick this beast to try this **** out lol
So annoyed at how bad this phone turned out to be once the 4.3 OTA was accidentally accepted by a lesser being in my house ;

my phone must be a beast, it fails to flash everything. It's gaurded by an angel!
I can't flash the n7100 bootloader onto it, it asks for pit, i put the pit, nothing. Just sits there saying looking for PIT to partition for bootloader. womp womp.

I think so. Here is what I installed.
http://www.androidayos.com/2014/04/26/root-n7100xxufnd3-galaxy-note-2-android-4-4-2-kitkat-update/
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0ByGZ52Krjat1QzdBWVJZTlk0VTg&export=download
Next step is the.... N7100 Dr.Ketan Custom ROM V 8.1
I ran into some issues with the PIT file (tried two different ones that I randomly found) and when I installed the above rom, it froze a couple of times in ODIN, but the third time was the charm. (If there is any way you could upload a link to the PIT file, future viewers with this problem would be really grateful!)
Is this it?

I'm moving everything onto my card via another phone and will update when I have an answer as to whether or not it worked. Thank again!
- My phone is currently stuck on the Samsung Screen. I'm thinking I didn't do the setup options correct on the rom....
- Tried wiping and reflashing rom but now I can't get past the Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 screen.....
- OK, Starting process again..... so I went back and reinstalled the French Recovery for the N7100. (Listed above). I think my original download didn't work so I redownloaded it. It flashed through Odin and booted without any weird errors! I'm going to follow the rest of the steps now.
- Installed TWRP: openrecovery-twrp-2.7.2.1-t03g.img.tar
- Installing the N7100 Dr.Ketan Custom ROM V 8.1 now via TWRP
- TWRP said FAILED after the install but I rebooted and my phone now says "Android is upgrading...",
- SUCCESS! The ROM installed. (just picked default/skip options) Now I'm going to install the DN3 Rom via TWRP
- Got DN3 up and running but no cell reception. Went to install the EFS via Odin 3.09 but it crashed Odin.... Trying with 3.07.... 3.07 got to NAND write start and my phone has a blue bar across the bottom but I think it's stuck... Task Mgr. shows little to no activity.... Time to try again.... I was able to restore an EFS via TWRPfrom a backup I had made but still no cell reception..... :/
- It works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was just impatient. After about 30 seconds, I have cell reception! CHRiS, you truly are infamous! You are awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!

Did you try just running the PIT by itself using Odin 3.7?
Hey!
I first got my galaxy s6, model; SM-G920I around start of May 2015 and I rooted via CF autoroot a few days after.
Haven't done much since, however, today I decided I wanted to update my software to lollipop 5.1 and to do that I first had to unroot via SuperSU and then update via Smart Switch.
After all the preparations were completed in Smart Switch, my device failed during the process, sending me to the cyan screen saying, "An error has occured while updating the device software..." .
This incident rendered my device unrecognizable by Smart Switch and since then I have not been able to flash the stock SM-G920I ROM via odin, as it always FAILS.
tl;dr
-rooted phone
-unrooted phone for software update
-device failed during smartswitch process
-cannot flash stock via odin
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[EDIT]: I cannot get into recovery mode
Can you get to download mode?

I presume you were talking about the "CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltedv-smg920i" file.
There was only a Cache.img and Recovery.img but no hidden.img
[EDIT]: My mistake I found the hidden .img in the SM-G920I firmware. I will try the rest now.

I was facing a very similar issue and this tip has saved me, thank you so much Alex-V
What is the hidden.img file used for and why does deleting it fix our issues?
Just curious,
Thank you again!
on a note 5 i can flash it that way too ?
if i have the same problem on a note 5 N920T (i know we are talking about S6 edge ) but doing that on any android with soft brick will work?
Hi guys, I have a problem with a S6 edge that goes in recovery and says "DM-Verity verification falled, need to check drk first"
I've tried to install the last stock firmware for this model but it always says the same.
Can u help me to solve this problem? Thank u very much.
DRK is damaged. You need to download the newest stock firmware from sammobile.com or I can probably provide you a link from my dropbox. What carrier is it on? Then you need to unzip the firmware then open the tar archive with 7-zip or winrar and extract the system.img and boot.img.
Download and unzip this program:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bsreazoonsw4gwv/tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07_by_mkh.mourad.zip?dl=0
Copy and paste the system.img and boot.img into the directory and run the batch file. After it's done it will spit out a system.tar.md5 and boot.tar.md5 file.
Flash each of those individually with Odin. Phone should boot. If you update or reset the phone it will stick on the Samsung logo again. I can repair the DRK on all Exynos chip phones, but it cannot be done remotely because must use a UART cable =(

Try it again? Have to hold volume down home power until it reboots back to download again.
i changed the odin version to a newer and it has started booting, i'm waiting for what will happen!
So, at the moment the phone will work until a reset or an update? because of the drk problems, right?

Am I hard bricked?
I accidently tried flashing the wrong rom onto my phone.
Now it says to use samsung emergency recovery, which doesnt work.
I lost the paper that had all the info about my phone on it..
Ive tried using ODIN to flash multiple different stock roms for the g925a and it always says FAIL.
Ive tried not flashing the boot loader.
Ive tried using the appropriate PIT
Tried different cables and usb ports as well.
edit: the phone was encrypted and had the reactivation lock on as well
Thanks for any replies
Hello,
Where can you boot ? Normal - Download - Recovery
Which PIT file have you flashed to your device ?
What was the ROM you flashed on your device ?
Where does Odin fails while flashing ?

Yes I tried SamFirm, it doesnt work for me. Unless I got the country code wrong.
Oh... If you have the AT&T version there's only the AT&T version.
Put "ATT" for the region.

You can boot into download mode on the phone?
Holding the volume down and power button at the same time? If so..
Use kies air, it will say that the phone is unsupported but still navigate to emergency firmware upgrade and put in the device model and S/N number located on the back of the phone or on the box, hope this works for you
