Dear friends
My phone was delivered with some SuperSU, and some days ago when it asked to be updated, I accepted that option and after the phone/SIM couldn't connect to the network so I could only make emergency calls.
After reading several articles on this site, I've tried to flash through Odin 3 several times, but every time when the phone reboots, it first erases something with Android logo and after that is stuck at Samsung logo picture and nothing happens. As mentioned, I have tried to do this activity several times but nothing helps. What can be done now to proceed?
Model is SM-G925F and I downloaded the firmware from Sammobile (SM-G925F/PAK/), and its following version which I have been trying with:
5.1.1: G925FXXU3COJ1_G925FOJP3COJ1_G925FXXU3COI9_HOME.tar-md5
Thanks.

What android version was the phone on before you flashed the firmware? 5.1.1 or 6.0.1?
How long did it stay on the samsung logo? Was the led lit up blue?
Power off phone.
Once off hold vol up + power + home together.
Keep holding them buttons and phone will boot into recovery.
Once in recovery wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset.
Try that first it should work.
Keep me updated
Thanks bro, tried this and it didn't help.
However, I discovered following error message:
dm-verity verification failed...
Need to check DRK first...
I think it was 5.1.1. before flashing. And the Samsung logo is there for hours...haven't tried days though.

Update it using Samsung Smart Switch.
Update to mm ROM
What actually worked in the end was "SpaceX-Kernel_MM_RC2.1_G925F.tar.md5". Thanks to all suggestions.
However, I am back to the original problem now. The phone cannot use any service provider, tried with both foreign and local Norwegian sim. It simply says that only emergency calls possible. This was the initial problem which I tried to solve by flashing ROM.
Any suggestions regarding how to deal with this?

Hi,
I have the exact same problem as some of the other bootlooped/bricked Galaxy S3's, i was on a custom samsung 4.1.2 rom for about a month and while browsing the net today it crashed went in bootloop now i cant get out, went into cwm recovery mode and factory reseted but didnt do anything.
The problem now is i cant go back into clockwork mod at all, so i went into download mode by pressing power + voloume down and menu button and went into download mode and opened odin flashed a stock rom, however it just keeps saying fail after nand write.
I now tried a custom rom and the same issue occurs and it fails, now when i pull the battery out and turn it back on all i get is a error message saying 'firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again' can somebody please helppppp me i literally have no phone at use at the moment!

If you have a jig you might be able to bring it back to life and get in downloadmode and retry flashing a stock rom again. Pull the battery for a minute, reinsert it and use a jig. If you don`t have one try to buy one. Good luck
factory reset is your only way
yes a reply!

It's only 2pm here in Cali, I'll be trying all night. Plan b is to send it into Mobiletechvideos, they do international shipping too, 5 star rating. But in the mean time, I'm going to do some ODIN trouble shooting, maybe try the Mac OSX alternative, Heimdall, and see if I can get it to connect.

I relate to you guys for that's exactly the same problem I'm going through. After successfully updated to the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 UK BTU international version and beautifully restored all my apps via Titanium backup I then proceeded to restore as well my EFS folder through a program named kTool, ignoring its warning message cuz I was just following a tutorial put out on a S3 Brazilian forum believing there was no danger at all.
Well, to my sadness and despair it returned on a bootlooping mode, if you will, and I did everything firstly tried to recover then wiped cache, dalvik, data, formatted the whole stuff and finally installed again via odin in download mode the same jelly bean 4.1.2 all to no avail
Now I got the bootlooping and when I press volume up + power + home I get a screen with a seemingly dead robot with a exclamation sign in its chest. Please what do I do in order to fully recover my S3?? this situation is killing me.

Dude, I've watched that vid but haven't tried that procedure so far, matter of fact I will do that however flashing an earlier version of the ROM, perhaps JB 4.1.1 or 4.0.4 or yet the current one from another country since the UK BTU version I downloaded was somehow corrupted. Anyhow thanks for the heads up to avoid factory reset and reboot it instead, hopefully I'm going to manage to get the CWM recovery screen cuz now I get only this:
Android system recovey <S3>
Volume up/down to move to highlight:
power button to select.
Reboot system now
apply update from ADB
Apply update fom external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
Right below it appears, along with the fallen/dead robot, the folowing message:

Alright, I screwed up my phone. I was trying to root it, and this morning when it said everything passed and I was restarting my phone, where the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge screen and at the bottom it says powered by android....DOESN'T GO AWAY. It just stays there on that screen. So, I downloaded the stock firmware for the Canadian Bell S6 Edge cellphone, and tried to flash the old system back on my phone and the error message comes up: SW REV. CHECK FAIL DEVICE 4 BINARY 2
I have no idea what that means, I cannot find a reason on the internet.
I do not know how to fix my phone back to stock everything.
I am losing it, everything has been going wrong!!!
Can anyone please guide me how to fix it.....if at all possible. I know just a couple of things, I am not cellphone savvy at all. I really don't think I am ever gonna root my phone ever again. lol

Try to flash unikernel through odin.
Hello all,
Hope all is well with everyone.
My phone decided to freeze on me and gave it a force reboot since then it's stuck on the boot logo. I can't turn it off unless the battery is drained and I can't turn it on (via power button), unless booting in Download Mode.
Now, download mode is the mode my phone can boot in and I know that I have to re-flash the stock-rom on my phone in order for it to work.
I gave that a try but a message on my phone pops up after having initiated the flash in Odin saying: ''SW REV, CHECK FAIL, DEVICE 3, BINARY 2'' and if I try a different PDA it reads: SECURITY CHECK: BOOTLOADER
Since this plan didn't work, I tried flashing a TWRP recovery on my phone. But after having tried that a message on my phone pops up proudly saying: ''Blocked by FRP Lock'' - which I found out I can only disable once I have full access to the settings on my phone - which requires a successful boot.
It's quite frustrating because I never had a problem with my phone and this issue occurred right after I updated my phone with the latest security update that Samsung pushed to my device.
Can somebody help me please?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you. However I already tried that one. After multiple attempts, the phone remains stuck on the ''Galaxy S6 Edge+'' screen and won't continue.
I already had the feeling that this may be a hardware malfunction.
I bricked my phone and tried recovering it via Smart Switch - as a last resort - SW successfully installed the stock firmware on my phone but whilst rebooting, it remains stuck on the ''Galaxy S6 Edge+'' screen.
I think my phone is officially dead and that after the new update? Crazy if you think about it.

Still won't work - It remains stuck on the Galaxy s6 edge + logo after flashing.
Download mode is the only feature that I'm able to access - Recovery mode or booting up the OS? Not a chance.
Rooting and/ or flashing new recovery gets blocked by FRP Lock and Bootloader.
I have seriously no idea what to do now.

You have G928F = that means your bootloader is unlocked by default.
Search on here there are ways to remove the frp lock easily.

I know that, I've noted that down in my first post on this thread. The thing is however is that I DON'T have access to my OS - which ultimately makes me unable to disable FRP lock.
By trying another firmware I get the Sw rev, check fail, device 3, binary 2
- Trying the Europe firmware - whether it is BTU (UK) or PHN (Netherlands) - the flashing WORKS but it won't boot up past the Logo screen - it remains stuck.
The only feature if have access to and works perfectly is the download mode.

Sw rev, check fail, device 3, binary 2. This isnt really an error message and shouldnt affect anything. When you flash the BTU or PHN firmware and it gets stuck on logo screen... how long are you leaving it like that? I ask because the first boot can take a while.
You can always try the DDE firmware from sam mobile. You may also neet a pit file with it too.

The longest is +30 minutes - it remained stuck untill the battery was drained.
I will try the DDE firmware but do you think that will work? I was able to manually flash my device via Samsung Smart Switch and that resulted in the same issue.

Is it stuck on the "powered by android screen" or the next screen the "samsung" logo?
Thats strange because if all else fails smart switch would normally fix it.

It's stuck on the ''Powered by Android'' logo.
This same issue reminded me of my Galaxy s2 back in the day - same with my current Edge+ - it stuttered, froze, rebooted itself a couple of times and it completely died. Couldn't do anything anymore.
These same symptoms happened with my Edge+ recently, but I can access download mode and it restarts but remains stuck on the logo screen.

These same symptoms happened with my Edge+ recently, but I can access download mode and it restarts but remains stuck on the logo screen.

I have the G928F and I also had the "custom binary blocked by frp lock" in red, which didn't allow me to boot. To fix this, I had flashed the newest stock Rom I could, and this had fixed my issue. But just yesterday I decided to unroot via the SU app, and it had asked me to restore stock boot image and recovery image. I did this but it had left me in a boot loop. I could enter recovery mode and download mode too. So I tried a factory reset. No help. Now instead of looping it would take me straight to recovery. Like every person at this point would've done, I tried to flash stock Rom, but I keep getting the "sw rev check fail" error. So I 're rooted the phone via odin and voila! I was back up and running and my phone works perfectly fine. You could try this, I know I'm a year late but oh well. Hope this helps!

Hi,
Just wondered how you manage to 're root the phone if FRP lock is on?
When I've tried, the FRP has blocked the custom rom. I've tried downgrading and current stock versions of android but not had any luck. I'm able to flash everything except the BL, no matter what version.
I've been trying all kinds of ideas on here for days now so any suggestions would be welcome.

Ahh if you're flashing current that's why. You need to flash the newest version of Android there is. The latest for the G928F was in February. Flash that and see if you have any errors.

I have a G935F but the process is much the same I guess. I have tried the latest stock rom but still can't get the bootloader on there. Once the bootloader is on there I think I'll be home free but at this point I've tried practically everything I've come across.

Can you talk me through what's happened,what's happening and what you've done to try and fix?
Hi gang!
I have a Moto E 2nd Generation here that was having some issues, browser crashing, slow downs, overheating issues due to multiple apps running, etc. So I decided to log into TWRP and attempt to do a factory reset. After this factory reset was done now I attempt to log into fastboot, which gives me the options of start, restart, factory, etc. I am just receiving a boot loop and nothing more. The steps to get this corrected is a bit jumbled and confusing, I must admit. I have installed ADB on my computer in hopes that this will be straightforward. I have downloaded some system images which I thought would help the process, negative. So if someone could help me this would be greatly appreciated.

Heyo John!
I can try to help since I have managed to overcome my bootloop issue and flash a custom ROM into my phone. Could I ask, are you trying to also install a custom ROM? And what version of TWRP do you have?
I had the bootloop issue because of an outdated TWRP and had to flash the latest one, which thankfully worked!
Let me know! ^_^

Hello testerexp345,
Thank you for the reply and the assistance, I am not sure if TWRP is installed anymore as I can't get passed the bootscreen on the phone. I hold down the volume down and power button to get the options of factory reset, shut down, restart, etc. However all these options lead back to the boot screen looping over. The ROM that I had installed on the phone was from an online seller that paired the phone with a SIM card that allowed unlimited data service, which was great for my business since I am out much of the week traveling. Any insight would help, as when it comes to flashing devices and cell phones... let's just say I am a newbie still

Hello hamxa266, okay I was able to get into the bootloader. All the options I choose restart the phone and put it back it back into a bootloop. I am not very familiar when it comes to using ADB.

Thank you bro... Got it already...:good:
Hello,
I've purchased a Galaxy Tab S6 (SM-T865N) International version, mainly to use it with with 4G in US on Xfinity Mobile. I received the tablet, inserted the SIM card and it was working 'relatively' on the network. Every now & then I would get a message 'failed to register to network', but for the most part, mobile data is working.
Since it is a Korea version, certain things don't work. Nothing major, but I would like to make it perfect. Certain User update posts in the Galaxy store display in Korean Language, and the weather app is slightly limited, with the error 'not available outside of Korea'.
I did some searching and found other firmware available for this exact model on Sammobile. My country (US) is not supported, but I would like to try the UK firmware, if nothing else, to fix some of the language issues. I downloaded the UK firmware package and Odin (3.13 & 3.14.1). I installed the Samsung drivers. I booted the tablet into recovery by holding 'power & volume up' then connected it to the computer. Odin WILL NOT found the tablet. I rebooted into the normal OS and connected it and Odin then found it, but obviously that doesn't work. I can not get Odin to connect while in recovery.
Does anyone have suggestions on what might be happening?
And maybe all this effort isn't worth it either, hard telling whether it'll work better or worse with the UK firmware on it. Any tips?
It's been several years since I did this sort of thing, so I'm a little rusty. I thought this would be a simple procedure.
it sounds to me like you are not putting it into download / Odin mode, but I could be wrong. I haven't tried to use Odin on this tablet yet, but was actually about to do this same thing as well, as my device has an origin CSC of singapore, and hasn't had an official update in almost 2 months, so I was going to flash the UK version as well.

So I just tested it on my tablet, here is what you need to do:
Power off the device
Press and hold the Volume up button and then press and hold the power button
When you see the initial boot screen, release the power button, but keep holding volume button
When you get to the recovery screen, you need to use the volume up / down buttons to highlight the option that has "bootloader" in the title, and press the power button to select it.
Then you should see a screen that says "Download" or something like that.
Plug in USB, and Odin should see the device.
Yeah, you're booting into recovery, you need to boot into Download mode - Hold both volume up and down whilst inserting the USB-C cable to enter Download mode.
Your correct

Your Correct. Device needs to be plugged into the pc for it to boot to the screen that shows all the info. I wonder why they made this a requirement. Its very unintuitive. I also didn't see it documented anywhere. How did you find out about this ? Thanks again for the help!

You wouldn't happen to have that firmwire file handy / a way to share it online would you? Sammobile's free download server is down right now, and I was going to try to flash it this weekend.

Did you able to flash that firmware on your tablet?
IF you mean did I succeed in flashing it through Odin then yes BUT unfortunately I couldn't get it to reboot correctly & it takes a lot of time trying to reboot but still no luck. So, I took it to a repair shop & they told me it needs new motherboard !! How can this be even possible IF I still can get it to connect to Odin and download the firmware successfully BUT no luck in getting it to reboot correctly!!

Have you tried reflashing the old firmware of your country? Weird that its not working.
I did try that and managed to flash it successfully to the old firmware using Odin but unfortunately I still couldn't get it past a full reboot as it got stuck after a long time and it takes me to the Android System Recovery screen wherein also tried to 'wipe cache partition.’ and try reboot again but I still end up with the recovery screen!

Can't you put in a warranty claim ? Here where i am based i had a new battery, and new screen installed from samsung! this was a Galaxy S8+ was well over 2 years old they did it for free! New screen and new battery! My Note 9 is going this monday for a new battery my Tab S6 works flawlessly so don't need to send that in! but i'm sure if you ring up Samsung they will replace the motherboard for free as it's not even 12 months old!
