I think the best option is really to download the Stock rom from Sammobile. Why can't you download?
I have the same problem,
the device is rooted but I cannot access the memory from the pc (I see a 128 mb partition and the sd card but cannot write anything).
When talking about the original rom, are we talk about the original firmware (1.2 gb)?
If yes, after I reinstall it using Odin,
what will be the status of the device? Rooted or not?
Thanks

Thanks for reply,
that true as I've already done it.
I haven't found the same exact firmware I had but anyway the device is full working again.
For some reason none of the rooting tutorial worked for me.

I hope I'm giving you the right info as I am translating into italian, last line is:
SEPF_GT-I9205_4.2.2_0019
If it is not I can take a picture of the full info screen.
Following the rooting tutorial I was able to root the device, but I had the following problem:
- Device memory was not recognized by the OS (win7) as explained in this thread. SD was recognized but not writeable.
- The device had the 2 red error lines when booting.
- After boot the device presented an error that something was triyng to go inside a protected area. I don't remember the exact error.
- There was no way to make wireless connection working and perhaps wasn't the only problem.
I hope all these info can be useful to someone
Cheers
I was expecting a version number like : I9205XXUCNxx .
If this the case the ROM you have installed is with KNOX and if you want to root it you have to use the procedure given HERE

Or flash MegaFire V10 ROM from @megalomanic14. It's proven so one can flash this (4.2.2) rom over KK with new bootloader. Then you will have all functionality back and already rooted system.
Hey Guys.
Once i tried to downgrade my Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925F from Marshmallow to Lollipop with odin, but it failed and i had a brick. I tried different Versions of Odin and with much luck i fixed my Phone. But now i am insecure and hope to get help from you. I installed latest Smart Switch Version. What do i have to do to downgrade without bricking my Device?

Only possible when flashing 5.1.1 custom rom via recovery, but you will lose your imei, BUT you can backup your imei and after flashing new rom restore it.

Yes before you proceed you will need to install a "custom recovery" (Search about it if you dont know what it is)
Go to recovery like you want to format but instead go to "Backup & Restore" and select backup and then select "efs" which is IMEI.
After flashing a custom rom and after the first boot you will notice that there is no signal, so go to recovery and select to restore efs.
I recommend you to backup efs to ext sd card.
This will void your warranty, even downgrading it self will void it.
Goodluck!

Any firmware 4DPG1 or above can not be downgraded. Im guessing before you was on U3DPAD or lower which can be downgraded. The first MM builds could be downgraded. But any 4xxxx can not
ah ok....
then i downgraded fast enough
my main reason of downgrade:
in MM it is not possible to change the font with HiFont App....!!!
i see other people saying that it's possible.
but i have one of the latest builds so, in your opinion , it is impossible for me to downgrade.
but are you sure? i can't believe that, i want absolutely a solution, i am searching it from so many time, please help

What build number are you in? It is impossible to downgrade from a late build 4xxxx. I have tried absolutely everything. The only way is to flash a nandroid backup but even then you will lose imei. You can always back up efs and restore but its not always as straight forward to restore it. You would also need to flash a new bootloader and modem.
Did you make a nandroid backup of your previous firmware? If not then you cant try that.
The only other way you can try is to flash a 5.1.1 custom rom. Again you will lose imei. So efs backup is important. You would also need to flash BL and modem again.
There are roms based on lollipop which is a much safer way to revert back, try one of them.
Overall i wouldnt try it bit its up to you. If you do and you find a way to do it let me know.

You cant downgrade after 4xxxx firmware mate. After updated bootloader your stuck on mm.
There are ROMs based on 5.1.1. But because you flashed 4xxxx firmware you cant downgrade. All lollipop firmwares are 3xxxx

I need help to unbrick my phone. Here are the details of my phone and things I did before it became useless.
- Version: Updated version of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Marshmallow Android 6.0.
- replaced its recovery with TWRP via odin (3.10.6)
- install a ROM with the use of TWRP recovery.
- After rooting my phone and flashing a new rom via TWRP, I can't use my phone's physical buttons.
I also tried full-wipe installation of Custom rom and I got the same issue. I tried restoring it to a stock rom, but it always says "Fail".
Do you guys have any suggestions how can I fix my phone?
Which rom did you flash?
What point in odin does it fail?
I take it you have G925F? Not G8.
Whats your region and what firmware did you try to flash (stock)

Thank you for your reply. Here are my answers:
-I flashed "CarHDRom" to my phone using TWRP 3.0.
- Yes, 825F is just a typo, G925F is the correct model name. I double checked it in the box.
- Philippines, and I already downloaded the firmware that you suggested in another post about softbricked g925F (G925FXXU3DPAD_G925FOXA3DPAD_XEU).

I would first try with odin v 3.10.7 not 3.10.6.
Make sure you have origional cable and debug mode is on in dev options.
If this fails look for the firmware in the picture. Download and flash that.
Any problems let me know

I suggest TWRP. Make a full Nandroid back up before just incase. But if anything goes wrong you can just flash that stock back to fix.
I would root first with cf autoroot.
Then flash your ROM.
Do a full wife when rom installer asks as this is safest way.
If it bootloops just wait.
Glad i can help
Well it looks like CarHDRom is not compatible with my phone. Tried flashing it twice and I waited for 30mins of booting but it doesn't continue.

It is compatible im using it mate. Did you do a clean install? Wipe data when installer asks? My first boot took around 30 mims
30mins? Seriously?? Yeps.. I did a full wipe before booting with the CarHDRom.. is it the most stable TW based ROM now? ? thanks !

I got a customer who wants to downgrade from Android 10 to 8. I know Samsung has anti-downgrade protection and you can't flash older firmware using Odin.
What about rooting the phone first though and flashing the Android 8 firmware using TWRP? Wouldn't that work?

My phone is already rooted and do you have any guide how can I flash complete firmware through twrp with bootloader. Actual problem is bootloader which can't initialize previous version of modem. I have downgraded modem but it does not pick IMEI.

You'd have to flash system, vendor and a kernel that can run Android 8. Just flashing the firmware straight up won't work

I'm speaking strictly about running Android 8, not downgrading. So this method of downgrading to Oreo probably won't help you on your problem

Flash correct version of the firmware. It looks like your phone is running custom rom. Download the Korean firmware (N) and try to flash with odin.

have you solved as yet?
read the thread fully.
if not the issue was solved by using an older version of Odin.
you need the appropriate ROM for your region, in your case as was mine you need firmware from Korea (N).
