Hello,
I have a S6 Edge: SM-G925F model of this phone, running Android 5.1.1 on XEF unbranded Firmware, non-rooted.
I want to flash a branded Orange Romania firmware on it and it does not seem to work. Every time I try, ODIN ends in FAIL within seconds and on the phone in the Download Mode screen I see: SW Rev. Check Fail Device:3 Binary:2
There isn't any obvious explanation anywhere, like no one is able to tell why this fails?
Is it because of the PIT? As I do not receive any PIT related error message, just the one above.
What could be the reason?
The orange firmware is also 5.1.1 so no downgrade here. The only difference is that the XEF firmware is 5.1.1 released in Oct, the one updated with the round icons and the Orange one is from September 5.1.1 with the square icons.
I knew that downgrade to 5.0.2 was not possible, but even on the same version 5.1.1 but with an older build?? I cannot explain..
Does anyone here know any reason or solution? I would not want to mess with the PIT if it is not needed although I do have a PIT file for 240MB hidden partition that fits the ORange's hidden partition size.
Thanks.
Yes i found it impossible to downgrade older build as well.

So, it seems that the fact that the Orange firmware has an older baseband could be the cause although the Android version is the same. Bummer...
I'll have to wait for Orange to update their ROM before trying again...and, as usual as most carriers, they are late...

Hi,
Well so here is my situation, according to Sammobile my country (Chile) is getting Jelly bean now:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/12/89289021.jpg/
The problem is that my phone is unbranded and none of those 2 CSC is my CSC. MY CSC is I9300OJVBLH1 and I don't know if the unbranded version of the phone will even get the update here or not, and I'm honestly sick of waiting.
There are countries with my CSC that have already gotten JB, but I have never used Odin or any kind of program to flash my phones (I had a Galaxy S2 before)
So my quesiton for you guys, that know way more than I do about this: Should i keep waiting for JB to get it through KIES? (I've checked on Kies and OTA and it says that my firmware is up to date) or should I just flash my phone? In case I should flash it... what Firmware should I get, the one with my CSC from another country or the one for my own country but with a different CSC?
If updating manually through Odin is your recommendation, could you please walk me through it? Will this increase my flash count?
Thank you very much for all your help!!!
Please guys, help!
Hi there
While in holland working I bought the s6 edge sim free and while I have no problems, I know it is defaulted to Dutch software, so default voice is dutch on "ok google" and some prejnstalled software is dutch.
Is there a way to make my phone think it is the UK version so the next firmware version that comes down will be english?
Thanks
Yes download the BTU or XEU firmware and flash it through Odin.
if not work delete the hidden Img from the firmware
Thanks for the quick replies.
Quick question as its been a while since I used odin, do I need my bootloader unlocked and does it wipe the phone? I'm currently just stock with no root or anything
Just boot in download mode and ad the firmware in Odin [AP box]
ah right, cool, will download it now then. I'm getting the version from SAM Mobile, but on a free download so it will take an age!
I presume the baseband being different won't matter? (Download G925FXXU2BOFJ and mine is G925FXXU1AOE3)
The baseband will be updated to after the firmware is successfully flashed. Dont worry about that part, just make sure you download the correct firmware for your S6 model version. So if you have a G925F then you also need to download the G925F firmware.
Hi I'm from Pakistan and I bought a new Galaxy Alpha (G850F) around 2 months ago and here we still haven't received lollipop update so I flashed an XSG (Dubai) stock firmware (Lollipop 5.0.2) but the problem is it's a bit laggy and my phone becomes hot sometimes....

Go to SAMMOBILE and look for your firmware. Flash it via ODIN. After that, reset the phone to factory settings.
Yeah I did that but still my product code and csc didn't change!!

I have the same issue, is there any solution?
Hi,
I am trying to flash my SM-G935A AT&T S7 Edge (not carrier unlocked) with the new SM-G935U firmware (G935UUES4CRG3/G935UOYM4CRG3/G935UUES4CRG3/G935UUES4CRG3) that I dowloaded for my US AT&T S7 Edge. I upgraded my S7 Edge to the latest Oreo firmware via OTA around a month ago.
I used SamFirm to download the image to flash. Anyhow, even though I put every file into its respective category on Odin 3.13.1, I get an "SHA256" mismatch error. I've seen some instruction that say to only add the AP file onto Odin and others say to use the prince cosmey version of Odin. What could be the problem? Does the phone need to be carrier unlocked? Is my firmware too new or of the same version? Do I need to use the prince cosmey version? Is it not possible to flash the g935u firmware onto a g935a phone? Should I use another download source? Should I use the slightly older G2 firmware? Anything else I should consider?
Also, I noticed that I could not download firmware for the SM-G935A using the ATT code with SamFirm? Any reason as to why?
I realize that there are many other threads that touch upon this problem but they are either with a different edition of the phone, firmware version or some other variant. I'm posting a new thread because I want to be as thorough as possible and make sure not to brick my phone by receiving safe advice before moving forward. Thank you for your time!
Below are the SamFirm download details:

Hi i bought a second hand s8+(SM-G955U) it was still on nougat and i didn't get any OTAs, so i update it to Oreo with Odin. I still dont get OTAs, and i never could find my CSC related firmware in g955u models on sammobile. so i looked up my device in IMEI.info and find there that my device is actually G955W and from there i also found my CSC based firmware in Canada my CSC is XAC. I just also find on the back cover of my phone that my s8+ is actually SM-G955W. so my question here is how could i go back to g955w firmware? Just download g955w firmware and flash it through odin?
In setting my phone is
SM-G955U
Baseband version G955USQU5CRL2
Service provider SW ver.
XAA/XAA/XAC
and the firmware ive downloaded from SamFirm is
Model Sm-G955W
Region XAC
PDA G955WVLU5BRJ2
CSC G955WOYA5BRJ2
Please i really need help i dont know what to do here.
