hi friends,
first my story. i am very very early anthusiastic of android. know nothing about it. i bought sm-c7000 and it was on tgy (HK) version with play store. i love to root my android phones and kept searching how to root my c7. then i found a post by javad on xda and was able to root install xposed etc. one night i thought to remove root because xposed modules were not working well. so unrooted device in su. restarted and then the accident happened. my device was bricked. now i tried and tried and tried to install hk versions from sammobile but in vain. always got auth error or invalid data error showing data is too big. then i tried smart switch and downloaded by entering model number and serial number of my device. it was a huge happiness as downloaded completed and my phone booted. but when i used it was now china version with no play store.i was again in deep sorrow. then i again started searching. again file big error. searched the net and found that it was partition error and i need pit file. but after searching i revealed that pit file for both tgy and chc are same. then fighting with odin i got the solution.
solution is that first flash only ap file and it will give u error at userdata ext 4. dont worry. remove mobile and again put it into download mode and now flash bl, cp and csc files only. no ap file this time. remeber not to touch repartition. and untick reboot also. after flashing reboot into recovery and wipe data and cache partition. now your phone will be tgy with play store etc. enjoy and if u think my discovery is helpfull pls hit thanks. enjoy
Thnx bro..U r my hero :highfive:
its my pleasure
I will try this soon on my friends phone that is chinese firmware 32gb, and I couldn't put to HK firmware due to that userdata 4 error. If it doesn't work I'll just put the Chinese firmwware back on. I wil definitely comeback and report how I went.
Just so annoying that Samsung does this. Also means that I can't buy an s8 when it comes out, as I will no longer be able to be sure that I can put google on it. As a Loawai in china, it is horrific not to have google on my phone - especially if it cost an arm an a leg, like the s8 will.
ok - doing this process now. Almost through the initial ap download and waiting for the error at userdata ext 4 message.

Alright am waiting for about five minutes to see what happens ... went through the process you described exactly ... ddn't know what to do when the odin process had failed initially upon AP flash, so I just waited 30 seconds and then used power switch to initiate reboot. Then I didn't know when I could take my phone out after flashing BL, AP, CP, CSC. Waited 30 seconds after ODIN had finished (didn't know if I should deselect 'F.Reset Time' - so I didn't) then I rebooted using power switch into the recovery. A system update appeared (and eventually crashed) before I managed to enter into the recovery and then followed your instructions to wipe partition and then wipe factory reset.
And .... waited another five minutes which seemed like about 10 hours!!!
And... YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woot.
s8 or Note 8? Both back on my radar to replace my ageing Huawei 6P.

Hello guys,
yesterday i tried to install a rom, i accidentally formatted everything (including internal storage) and when i tried to reboot; it didn't. I just tried to install a stock rom with SM-G925F BUT not corresponding country of mine (on kies3 mine has AFG in paranthesis .wtf. ?), then i downloaded firmware from sammobile which has name;
G925FXXU2BOGB_G925FOJV2BOG8_G925FXXU2BOGE_HOME.tar
I kept flashing this rom and twrp recovery to reach into adb mode to flash any rom to just save my ass from losing efs/imei even if i did. But it doesnt.
To tell the problem in a way more understandable way;
The device cant boot itself.
I cant reach it from mtp or adb.
I can only get in download mode. whatever i do flash doesnt work.
it also says that cant mount efs (this part is im scared of.)
EDIT: I dont have any backup of efs.
The phone was 5.1.1 also tried to downgrade.
also tried flashing g925f pit file
EDIT2: Bought otg and flashed another rom but still the same issue... Please help me guys...
EDIT3: The Required download links will be on the top of the OP
Thanks for answers!
Did you try to flash stock firmware with Odin ?

yes I did, I also tried different kinds of roms for g925f to just make sure. I also fetched the rom that smartswitch wanted to flash; which means I have already tried all the methods from the choices of a noob like me ( if i get to this point this means im noob ) will ever know.
I will appreciate a help to unbrick my phone so i can enjoy my beer with him

Hi
i had a big problem with anability to mount any partitions through the flashed TWRP recovery i had on the S6 edge, lucky me i had a full backup including the EFS partition, and could either boot into download mode or TWRP, but as you unable to flash anything properly.
Odin, flash multiple roms...
Samsung Smart Switch and kies, emergency recovery providing the model + serial number failed
To top it all, i had reactivation locked enabled....
Now for the EFS, if you are able to get TWRP installed and running from it mount a USB OTG and backup the EFS partition
Here are links for Kernel by Alex-V
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347765201
TWRP from Team Win
https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/
You would need to root after that, but thats not your problem at the moment, and for me the kernel is needed or else i will stay stuck and can only go into downoad mode
When almost everything for me was at the point i had hard bricked my phone i fixed it with Odin in the end
Firmware SM-G925F / G925FXXU2COH2
http://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy S6 edge/31bd/XEU/G925FXXU2COH2/G925FOXA2COH2/
At first this also did not work, but i kept looking and was thinking if it cant mount anything, partitions might and probably were corrupted
PIT files that can be used, normal and ones with different HIDDEN sizes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...925-pit-files-multi-thread-download-t3171636/
For me the first standard one failed at the hidden.img everytime until i used the last one which was
ZEROLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN300M.pit
Flashed completed all the way and rebooted on its way to the android normal post flash install process
During the process it first complained about DATA partition being corrupted and needing to flush it, then rebbotted to complain about internal storage needing to also be flushed.
On the final reboot, it went all the way in to the normal setup, accounts etc.
At this point i was again stock and 100% fixed minus the EFS partition
At this point rebboted into download mode, flashed TWRP
Remember to copy the modded Alex-V kernel and the super-su zip files if you want to avoid sweating some more!!
I plugged my USB OTG with my full TWRP nandroid backup and restored it all, EFS included, at this point the state of the S6 was again 100% operational
Hope this helps you and others.
PS. Verify before flashing anything that those can be used on your phone or if not find the equivalent files you need to do so.
The culprit that caused the problem to start with was stickmount app by chainfire who makes Super-SU!!
What happened is i instaled it, then it told me it needed to copy some extra files, at that point during the copy, the S6 rebooted and was stuck in an endless bootloop
That happened with the abobe firmware linked above, using that kernel and that version of TWRP flashed on the phone with Super-SU 2.46 installed
Even going with Aroma Explorer and deleting everything i could find on the phone related to stickmount did not fix the problem

will try this mate if it works for me too, we should open a new post or update this one to inform people
Update: Nothing worked until now. Does flashing a rom from an usb-otg or internal storage differ? Also I can't connect to computer via MTP or ADB... Need serious help guys.
Guys i have found why the phone is like this...
1) efs partition is deleted
2) emmc files are deleted
if anyone knows how to fix emmc please write here efs is easy to deal with....

it doesnt flash because eMMC files "mmcblk0" are wiped.. Maybe a jtag issue. Is it possible to repair it without jtag?
If adb cannot detect it..i guess jtag is the only hope

Dear developers,
I am using root rom from PACO S6 edge root rom here.
And also TWRP 3.0.x recovery rom.
After successful installation, there's boot loop. It's about sprint Hands free activation. And I troubleshoot this problem by renaming SprintDM.apk to SprintDM.bak
Then, the phone stopped to reboot, but there's notification about "com.android.phone has stopped", and "connections optimizer updater has stopped". Once, I troubleshoot this problem by edit file etc/hosts using Root Explorer. Just put # symbol in front of many google clients server. Like this one,
127.0.0.1 localhost
#74.125.93.113 android.clients.google.com
And now no more notification about those errors anymore. But the problem is now I cannot connect to Internet (using explorer or Chrome). And also I cannot sign in to google account.
Have any idea? Thank you so much for your help. :crying:
Here I report my getprop for further information.

Hi reinard92
The link you provided is from a !!! S5 Sprint !!! ROM ported from the S6.
That ROM should not ever work for you.
Please flash something else from the below forum ONLY:
Sprint Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development
Nice regards and good luck.

Do you have recommendation for flashing my device?
I remembered before flashing this rooted rom, it was SM-G925FXXU3COI9 (Lollipop 5.1.1).
But it became SM-G925P. So, what do you recommend me to flash?
Thank you in advanced for your help.

Hi reinard92
Indeed, you have to be sure of the exact model you have in order to pick the correct ROM for it.
Go into "Download Mode" (Volume Down + Home + Power) and take note of which model you have.
With that information, go XDA Hunting
Nice regards.
.
Another same Problem
Thank you very much for your helm @Kdio
I checked the model in Download mode, it was SM-G925P.
But I remember previously it was SM-G925FXXU3COI9
It's happened also in other member's post here.
I try to install another ROM Renegade.
But the problem is the same with previous. It's about Sprint "Hands Free Activation".
When my phone was SM-G925FXXU3COI9, I can use any SIM-card. So I bought it without Sprint bundling.
I just confused why my phone become Sprint bundling after I installed custom ROM.
When I skipped the hands free activation, it said "Unfortunately, Connections Optimizer Updater has stopped".
Another ROM I tried is Clean Generic ROM. It was successful installed but stuck at Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge logo. It means doesn't enter the ROM.
If you have any information about this issue, your help is very welcome. Otherwise, I couldn't use my phone. :crying:
God blessed you :angel:

Hi reinard92
Your device is definitely a G925P ... forget F's.
To fully verify the device itself for any hardware flaw, I suggest you to flash a Stock Sammobile firmware. This will overwrite your recovery(loosing custom recovery), kernel (loosing root), baseband (modem) and system.
Recently I've experienced that a Odin flash did NOT wiped all so you should do a FULL WIPE before entering Download Mode
These are the firmwares available for you.
You may follow these general instructions.
Let us know how it performed with Stock.
Cheers.

Failed when trying install via Odin
Hi @Kdio
I tried to flash stock ROM you give.
This is following step I used :
1. Go to TWRP
2. Total Wipe Data
In my computer, run as administrator Odin 10.6
Extract stock rom from .zip file to image file
Select AP file image G925PVPI1AOCF.
3. Plugin the phone, and reboot to Download mode.
4. Click start in Odin.
5. Then Fails.
SW Rev, CHECK FAIL, Device: 3 Binary: 1

Hi reinard92
Sprint brought you a nasty limitation ... once you flashed any OI1 or above, you shall not downgrade. ... that's the exact error code you received.
Please, repeat the steps using anything greater or equal OI1 please.

have a look an that website. search for recovery firmware for your phone. it should give you the recovery 4 file firmware
http://d-h.st/mzeV
only found this , but i can't download it :|
Can anyone help me with downloading that file?
don't know what's wrong with dev-host , but can't download it .. tried 3-4 different pc/mobile and networks, with no luck
Finally fixed problem.
1)So to boot device you need custom kernel like Aroma for 925P
2) to get out of continuous restarts because of samsung security, you need to instal custom recovery TWRP and then from recovery, mount system and from apps delete every folder with Knox in name and also samsung dm folders.
That's how i got my device back in working condition. i can't remember exact folder names, but keep digging and delete everything related to knox and dm
i've even got my imei number back, so seems like efs wasn't damaged "too much" and only samsung security apps messed them up or something like that.
Anyway my phone is working now , so if you will be in same situation you can use this as tutorial
And no Z3x and similar boxes were not able to fix this, two local guys tried with z3x and similar tools with no success
Hi everybody,
Yesterday I decided I wanted to root my S6 Edge phone (SM-G925F, International Version) and flash a custom ROM onto it. I managed to root it successfully and install a working version of TWRP.
I began installing the XtreStoLite Custom ROM onto my S6 Edge. Around the 10% mark of installation, my phone suddenly booted. I read online that I should boot back normally and install an app which reduces my CPU power or something like that, can't really remember. But when I tried to boot back normally, it was stuck in a boot loop with only the Samsung S6 Edge logo appearing.
During installing TWRP I bricked my phone a couple of times because I installed wrong versions of TWRP. I flashed a stock firmware a few times to get rid of the brick (a similar bootloop), which worked every time like a charm.So I figured that with this "Custom ROM bootloop", I can just flash the stock firmware, boot everything back and try again. But after flashing the previously so glamorously working stock FW, I was stuck in a bootloop way worse than before.
This time the phone starts, I get the S6 edge logo, I get a "installing software update" screen for about a millisecond and then a "no command" screen. After the latter, it repeats. Once repeated for - I don't know - a 1000 times, it boots into stock recovery.
I tried factory resetting, which only gets rid of "software update" and "no command" screens. The bootloop stays.
What do you suggest I do? Can I do anything? Could it possibly work with 'another' stock firmware file?
Thanks in advance :good:
Probably you end up with dm verify verification error, drk issue, try to flash back stock firmware using repartition and a pit file to see if will fix your issue
Thanks for the quick reply mate. Just to get this right, I don't want to mess anything else up: first, I download a new firmware from lets say, SamMobile. When flashing with Odin, I check the box re-partition. What do I do with the pit file? If I download the FW from SamMobile, I'm supposed to get a CSC file right? With the pit file inside of it? Will Odin recognize it just like that (from the CSC file)?
you must download pit file and add in pit file, depending on your csc code of firmware you want to flash search that pit file on google
Okay, thanks. I googled and found this website: droidviews.com/download-pit-files-for-galaxy-s6-edge-all-models/
You figure I could just use a pit file downloaded from there? Or should I worry about 32GB / 64 GB pit files?
Also found this website: sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30136
It has an "SM-G925F OXA multi CSC ( BTU CPW DBT ITV KOR NEE XEF XEO XEU )" pit file. My S6 Edge is NEE region marked. Is this any better than the 'droidviews' one? Is it possible to tell or are they one and the same?

You need this firmware
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=85560321743B11E7963AFA163EE8F90B
And this pit file
https://mega.nz/#!rERH1LqK!QSYjirrXtPjKc1giOahnZI0BrWR2WXMg0GI3ZR3LLeY
Or just try to flash your original firmware
Ok so, I flashed the FW callumbr1 suggested, with the required pit file. Something happened! The phone now boots from the S6 Edge screen all the way to the next screen, the one with 'Samsung' text on it. The logo keeps flashing, with it never going away. So still in bootloop, but a little different one.
What now? Thanks for all of the advice thus far!
Its working! Oh thank each and every God, but most of all you guys.
So the phone was stuck in the Samsung boot logo. I booted into recovery, wiped cache, no result. 2nd try, I boot to recovery, do a factory reset, and it SEEMED like it was still in boot loop, with the logo flashing. I went to take a leak and my God, that leak turned out to be a leak of faith. I came back and the phone had booted. Now it seems to work normally.
Thank you so much!

It's because the glowing Samsung logo is not actually a bootloop.
It's just on that logo while the phone builds the firmware. Usually takes about 10-20 minutes on that logo screen. Glad I could help and it's all working :good: thanks the posts if you can
Is your s6 edge bootloader unlocked? If so, how?
I am unable to load TWRP as my bootloader is locked, and can't find a solution anywhere. Any pointers?

I'm in the exact same situation as the OP,with the exception that i cant even get to recovery
(I got the phone in that situation tbh so i dunno what happened)
I tried to flash the firmware and the pit file you provided but i got a cm.img error and binary error device 5 binary 4.
So i guess device had newer os installed.
I'm now trying to download(those sammob speed limits ) the newest btu file my question is the pit file you provided is for every btu firmware or do i need another one?

Yes try the latest firmware.
The pit file will work for every btu firmware aslong as you have G925F. If it fails quote me and I'll try to help further

I've downloaded the latest BTU firmware with samfirm and flashed it along with the pit file
Again i got the updating screen which was already on 25% jumped to 32% and then got to erasing screen in which the refreshing icon froze.
I'm waiting for it to make something but nope.

See if you can manually boot to recovery. If so then wipe data and cache and reboot

Hold down and power until it completely reboots. As soon as it goes off switch to recovery combo and keep holding

Only check repartition if you flash a pit file. Don't select nand erase

Edit: Now stucked in galaxy s6 edge screen before samsung logo.
Edit 2 : Tried to access recovery, phone got again in system update screen and then stuck on erasing
rebooted then tried to access recovery again and got the no command screen again.
Edit 3 : After several attempts to access recovery it got me to the black screen before the wipe options of recovery appeared and phone hang up.
It has the following
No Support SINGLE-SKU
Supported API: 3
#MANUAL MODE v1.0.0#
Appling Multi-CSC
Applied The CSC Code :XEO
Succesfully applied multi-csc
Hum, just noticed in download mode that the device has on the reactivation lock.
Could that be one problem that i face?
My Samsung S7 Exynos started causing me problems after installing a macro app from the play store, specifically receving " X Keeps on Crashing" notifications of different apps crashing, and the phone randomly doing soft reboots when I use apps.
I have tried flashing LineageOS, Stock OS (most recent) and LightROM, with a factory reset and wiping data, internal storage, dalvik cache and cache between each flash and downloading latest firmware for my phone.
Even after flashing a fresh ROM, the insant I boot up my phone, reach the "First Setup" screen, and press the next button, I have these "X keeps on stopping" popups.
I am welcome to any suggestions, even if it may brick my phone, since my phone is already
Hi , maybe the problem will be solved if you flash 5 files firmware for your device which include pit file .
Search on the internet for your model and region .
Good Luck

Thank you very much for the reply, I will try this.
Just wondering though, isn't the PIT file included with the CSC file?
Or will it make a difference if I extract the PIT file and add it directly to the PIT option in Odin?
Hi , extract pit file from CSC and put in odin , also you can search on the internet :
How to Extract PIT File from Samsung Galaxy Devices
Good Luck
