Hi everyone, i firstly apologize if i'm on the wrong page with this question but i'm desperate and totally new to all of this, in way over my head really.
Here is my problem i have rooted my S6 Edge then i wanted to install TWRP Recovery before installing Xposed?...
But what happened is, my device got stuck during TWRP (i used Flashify).
After failing i looked for answers online i'v dowloaded Odin .6 and .7 i went into Odin mode and tried to flash stock firmware SM-G925FXXU3QOKN but it failed near finishing on both Odins. Now i'm not even sure anymore whether anything after "SM-G925FXXU3" is right or whether it even matters because i couldn't find the firmware for my country but on sammobile the firmwares of all our neighbouring countries end on "QOKN" so i guess what are the odds?
Now my device doesnt startup at all, unless it's plugged into the pc it displays a BLUE SCREEN: "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software"
(Smart Switch doesn't give me any options, Samsung kies is disabled by Samsung)
while the device is plugged in and showing the text i can get into Odin mode.
If anyone of you guys could help me out, that would mean a lot to me.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT; My device was running 5.1.1 lollipop

Hi Jamie, you probably have the right firmware BUT right after you've flashed the firmware and it fails at "hidden.img" you need to open the firmware file you have flashed and extract the "hidden.img" file.
Okay, when you have done so rename the file to "hidden.img.tar" (you may receive a warning that the file may become damaged)
Don't worry, proceed!
When the file is renamed, open Odin and add the hidden.img.tar file to the AP/PDA tab and flash it unto your device.
Be patient.

Hi all,
I have a Samsung galaxy S3 GT-I9300. 2 days ago it crashed and won't boot anymore. The reason was can't mount /cache, can't mount system ... on recovery mode. I tried only the wipe cache option and it did nothing.
I started looking at the forum to understand how to fix it. I deciced first to make a backup of my data if possible so I downloaded Odin v3.07 and philz_touch_6.07.9-i9300.tar.md5. I read in another thread that we can manage to copy data from the phone using philz tools.
The problem here is that flashing philz tools with Odin fails all the time. Now I can only access the download mode. At boot, I have a "Firmware upgrade encountered an Issue..." I tried with Kies recovery but it failed too.
In my sdcard, I have no folder clockwordmode ! In download mode
PRODUCT NAME : GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD : Yes (3)
CURRENT BINARY : Custom
SYSTEM STATUS : Ofiicial
I am bit lost as there seem to be a lot of options in other threads. I don'y know where to start or what to do ? is it the PIT files to restore ? the firmware, the kernel ? the whole OS ?
Many thanks
Don't use pit file. pit is Last resort!!!! Get stock firmware from sammobile.com and flash it through Odin. Forget kies. Read about Odin before flashing.
You'll need to flash with a *.pit file, and the ROM downloaded from sammobile in order to restore your device. Use the *.pit file as the absolute last option to restore your phone. It will repartition your phone, and any power loss of either the machine you are flashing from, or your phone will render it a permanent brick.
Thank you
I am downloading the latest firmware from sammobile (1.1 GB) and Odin 3.09. There are specific instructions for Odin on sammobile website so I don't think i'm goint to mess it up. I will let you know if it did work for me.
I tried to flash the image from sammobile but it failed. There is no log I can read to understand why
Here is the name of image I downloaded I9300XXUGML2_I9300FTMGML2_I9300BVUGML1_HOME.tar
Concerning Odin, its the 3.09 GS3 by l0gan

Shall I try with an older image (this one is the latest) ? or retry by messing the PIT ?
Nand write fail = motherboard replacement.
Keep trying to flash and don't give up but please leave pit till the end. Yes try three part recovery firmware and older firmware "not ics" SDS on ics firmware and you don't want that. But at the end of the day nand write fail means hardware failure.

However, I still have the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" at boot I removed the phone when I saw the message Removed in Odin. I am not sure whether it didn't let the process finish well or I did right. Any ideas or suggestions ?
I succeeded to reinstall the latest firmware and I got back the samsung logo at boot. However It still doesn't go any further and no recovery mode ... Is there a way to check the status of the system ?
Omg its alive!! Odin said pass! Just keep flashing that firmware till you get recovery and then factory reset.
Try the rescue firmware in general thread, follow the instructions exactly.

Hello
An update of my case. After struggling 2 days with NAND write fail and trying lots of firmwares... I succeeded to install CMW recovery tool. From that, I installed Cyanogenmod 10.0.2. I struggled to make it boot too as it looped on cyanogen logo many times.
Now I must confess that I am afraid of rebooting the phone as I thought it was dead :angel:
Hope it helps someone else :highfive:
Great feed back for others. and go's to show never give up flashing with Odin. Odin is a pain in the ....
Congrats :thumbup:
I tried newest uk beta (BTU) recently and i wasn't happy about the battery etc.
Flashed newest lollipop firmware for NEE csc. I have tried so many firmwares and no luck .. :crying:
Do i miss something big time? and i am 100% sure about that firmware is right.

Getting this kind of log from odin. note this is copy from another thread, otherwise same but buildnumber is different..
I can't even flash twrp/philz recovery. without getting some error, PIT related.
I can't access recovery by anymeans as it wil boot up to that ''smart switch blablabla'' and pc will say it is not supported etc.
I only can access download-mode.
I have tried flash stock 5.1.1 PIT but it makes no difference.
This is 32gb model. How deep i'm in brown?
Got this working!
First i used odin 3.10.7 -> all fails
Then tried 3.10.6 -> first try successfully only that hidden.img was failed but i extracted from firmware and and flashed it after that.
Hope this helps someone.
if you had used smart switch on your pc, it was a lot easier............:good:

Hi there,
I am a newbie, i apologize for any noob question or mistake.
I followed these instructions
Instructions from sammobile
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.10.7
Extract Odin ZIP file
Open Odin v3.10.7
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
Its not a brick phone but this version of Cyanogenmod has a lot of bugs hence i want to flash stock rom. i want to be very careful.
Odin fails to flash stock image.
I am getting following error message.

The UK-version of Oreo DOESN'T have USERDATA
Put the files in BL AP & CSC (CSC_BTU or HOME_CSC_BTU)
Re:
THANKS !!!
In fact i've only use the PDA file while flashing, i'll try adding the files you mention.
I had the same problem, but then I just flashed the BL and AP and it booted fine after that. Mine failed when I tried with the CSC. Good luck!

Hi !
Did you mean you got a bootloop again after flashing the CSC ? Did you try with both CSC files or just one of them ?

No i got a fail. I only used one. When I flashed just the BL and AP I got a pass and everything worked out fine.
Thank you both.
I've flash again using the 3 files and the tablet is working now.

someone has some advice for me, before I launch the device from the balcony?

no help for me?
:crying:
Are you disconnecting the phone or waiting for it to completely finish? Maybe clean out the charge port?
I am not by any means able to correct the issue, but i've never seen a successful odin operation where the device is removed and then completed.
Good news is that it can still go into download mode. So it should not be too difficult to correct. I am assuming you're using latest Odin with the original usb cable and have tried with different ports.
Sometimes it may need a slightly older version of odin to work. You may even have to download the firmware again. Or take it to where you bought it...
But... DO NOT LAUNCH IT!

I disconnecting the phone after Odin> PASS (disconnecting usb)
The usb port is clean (spray contact)
I don't use other port usb and other cable usb, because the Odin procedure it is successful (PASS)
After PASS I disconnect usb, the Phone rebot - it appears android robot- erasing- logo edge -logo samsung,
but nothing done (I waited a long time)
Odin is 3.13.1 (I believe latest version), I have not tried other old versions because the procedure is Ok (Pass)
I worked on this cell phone I believe 30 hours...
I'm a stubborn girl, I do not accept not to recover the phone..
I do not launch it, but the temptation is there
thanks for help

I'm trying with last firmware for edge (italy- ITV-nogaut7)
it was the first one I tried. and now is impossible using old firmware, cs.bin file no Pass in Odin...
Pit file i read is not necessary for stock firmware, but yesterday I also tried with Pit file (Zerolte eur open hidden60M)
the Odin procedure Pass, but after the phone not installing system ( but maybe I did not reset factory and cache..)
when it is in bootloop, enter in recovery is not easy, and when I go into recovery..I have to be quick to select otherwise the phone hangs...(even with twrp sometimes it crashes)
I do not understand if it's because the phone bootloop, or is the problem hardware (memory flash)
thank s
