"Full Firmware" is firmware 4 file or 5 file (BL_ , AP_ , CP_ , CSC_ , EFS_ ,...), sometimes is a single file (All_...) and include the standard PIT files. When you flash "Full Firmware" & PIT files, all devices partitions will be repair, re-fomat and factory reset devices.
When do need "Full Firmware" ?

Hi Thank you for hosting the firmware
I have tried this N950U1UEU1AQI5_N950U1OYM1AQI5_ATT_7.1.1_FULL.zip (3,0G) but you posted that as ATT. (there is no ATT bloatware at all)
I figured it out by N950U1 = No Carrier and N950U is carrier like verzon/ATT/TMB
this is Unlocked US version Note 8 like SM-N950UZKAXAA and sold by Samsung Direct or best buy so far .

The carrier versions of the Unlocked (SM-N950U1) "aqh9"...only differ by including the product activation information that the SIM provides during provisioning. Flashing the XAA unlocked firmware and inserting SIM is the same as flashing any of the SM-N950U1 brand labeled firmware like SPR AQH9...

Nope. Apparently, when I installed the Unlocked firmware, it automatically partitioned my device. I had to do a factory reset to recover my 128gb storage.
It actually worked. Thanks anyway. I'm actually learning a lot. First time customizing an Android device (just changed from an iPhone 6 Plus).

Glad you figured it out! Welcome to Android.
So, would I be able to use this process to load the Verizon firmware to my Unlocked Note 8? I bought an unlocked version from Samsung, but there are several features that seem to be unavailable (visual voicemail, accessing internet when on phone, etc.). Would loading the Verizon firmware fix that issue for me?
Verizon tech support has not been of much use trying to get these features working on my unlocked phone, so I'm hoping that if it "magically" becomes a Verizon phone, the features would start working.
Note that I have tried Shortcut Master to get around these limitations, but no luck so far.

I can't get back to stock as I used the first method of samfail and now my bootloader reflects aqh8 and my system/baseband reflects aq15. I tried using Odin and get device mismatch errors I tried using kies it doesn't recognize my phone even in emergency mode. Any ideas how to get back to complete stock aq15 or at least on how to get bootloader to match system as aq15?
See how bl reflects aqh8? Is there a way to get it to match the rest at aq15? Or does everyone who used samfail root method look this way? How would I go back to Stock since I'm getting device mismatches in odin.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated

sprint sm-N950USQU1AQI5 flashing to use on another carrier
I tried flashing with the zip file. But, I see invalid sim when I insert different carrier. Detailed desc would help me.
Or, is there any alternative to flash the sprint note 8(N950USQU1AQI5) to use different carrier.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am looking into getting a European ROM running on the sgs3 I bought here in China.
I tried downloading the official Samsung rom from UK, but I failed during installation of the modem part. It rendered my phone useless, and it took hours getting it back up with the kies and the official Chinese rom.
I used the software called Odin i believe, to attempt the update.
To me, it seems as if it is not that easy, maybe due to the modem thing, but can anyone verify that this will never work?
The main reason for applying a different rom is, that it seems that none of the Google apps are going to work. I can't install them, but they won't run. The apps seem to load, put with no message, it closes and the phone returns to the previous screen.
Anyone with any input on this?

Huum, but you were able to install Google Play? I already installed twice but the app keeps crashing everytime that I try to open it.
And I must say; I was frustrated to realize that my SGS3 didn't came with a SD card on it.
Hi,
I was able to install it yes, but have the same problem as you. It starts to load, and suddenly it just disappears.
No cash message, no nothing. That is why I think this is a limitation that is put there on purpose.

Hi,
Just for an update.
I was looking into getting a european rom on to my phone, but ended up doing a ROOT instead, and then install Google Apps.
Everything is just the way I like them now
To root and install CWM (Needed to install the Google Apps), i followed this guide:
*Can't link to the guide due to forum policies. PM me, and I will give you the link
After having downloaded the software neccesary, it took about 30 seconds for my phone to be ready.
I then did more or less as this guide *Can't link to the guide due to forum policies. PM me, and I will give you the link says.
With the only exception, that I copied the Google Apps zip-file to the SD card from Windows explorer, and bootet into recovery mode by holding the HOME, VOLUME UP and POWER button at the same time, after having powered off my phone.
Now, all the apps are working as I have been used to.
To solve your Problem and install official rom from Samsung to your phone you need to buy Odin Mobile.
For Chinese phone, when you use computer with odin, there is something that is blocked on the Phone so you cannot install any firmware from odin using the pc.
With odin Mobile u can flash >>>> personnally i flashed the one of Samsung GS3 HK because i still want to have some chinese stuff in my phone as i like to have.. And work perfectly !
Hope it will help you ! cordially!

But what I have done, is to find the modem-file for installation, and I am now using a rom called Omega, currently a version 19.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663656
First off, I install the ROM, and afterwards, I install the modem.
Everything seems to be working just fine.
The Omega rom, is the official Samsung rom, with some "hacks" - during installation you are for instance asked if you want the complete thing, or if you want to leave out all bloatware.
Official Samsung will no longer be available OTA, as the updating process detects, that the phone has been altered.
I live in China and own a SGS3 bought here in china. What you have to do is flash a kernel that is compatible with TRIANGLE AWAY to reset to zero the flash counter on the phone. Then you should be able to flash any original Samsung ROM made for the SGS3. If it doesn't work, you might also have to flash the stock XLH1 modem. Then it should work.

Hello thank's for your support. Are you sure that it will work with a Unicom brandet S3? I tried to flash it before, after this it doesn't work anymore. So i had to go to Samsung service point and pay to recover it. Thanks'
solution
Hello all,
i found the solution. The Chinese S3 has another boot sector, so it can't be flashed by Odin with any other firmware.
I found in a Chinese forum how to make it.
First you have to root, this was no problem.
You have to install mobile odin, because mobile doesn't flash the boot image.
Now you can copy any firmware to sd card and flash.
Best Regards
Hi,
My friend has a UK S3 on the 3 network.
The other day when turning it on it it just gets as far as the first screen with the white text "Samsung galaxy S3 GTi9300". It gets no further and remains on that screen until the battery is pulled. If the power button is held it simply powers off and then immediately back on again.
Whilst she has dropped the phone in the past it has only suffered cosmetic damage and the occasional non requested power off and on(yeah the drops may have damaged something internally). However, no further falls/water damage etc was experienced by the phone when the problem above occurred.
I should also stress that the phone was not rooted and she thinks was on 4.3.
In an attempt to fix it (i have a rooted s3 so know a bit about the phone) i was able to get the phone into recovery mode. The below picture is what was displayed and did not look good.

I was next thinking of trying to reinstall the firmware via Odin. However i would be unsure of exactly which version to use, given her uncertainty of if the phone is indeed network branded and on version 4.3 of android. Is there any way i can check this with the phone in its current state?
Does anyone have any ideas what to try next or what the issue may be? Thanks
Follow the guide in general forum to flash the latest stock firmware for your country, doesn't matter if generic or branded.
If that fails then try the rescue firmware (search in general forum) which includes a pit file so be very careful.
The emmc chip is either corrupt or damaged, the first is recoverable the second is terminal.

Hi thanks for your help.
I have used Odin to flash 4.3 three network firmware (I9300XXUGND3_I9300H3GGND1_H3G). Whilst odin successfully pushed the file to the phone and it installed fine, the phone only boots so far as the samsung logo with the blue circle around it (progress at least).
I then went to recovery and wiped to factory to see if this would help. Unfortunately it made no difference.
I am therefore about to try your second suggestion and have found the following thread:
I9300XXUGND3_I9300H3GGND1_H3G
I have downloaded the 4.3 zip from that site and proceeded to load the 4 elements in Odin. However i could not find the pit file in the zip. Is this something i have to find separately? If so could you help me locate it? i tried a quick search but don't want to get the wrong one.
thanks
Only mess with pit files as a last resort as there is a very high chance of borking the phone permanently.
Remove the sim card and the microsd, factory reset from recovery, use odin. Factory reset again then odin again. I had to flash twice to get my phone to reset.
Ask if the phone was ever unlocked, bought from carphone warehouse or bought from asda. If so the chances are its a btu and unlocked. Try to find out if it was ever ota updated (end of 2013 for btu, later for operator).

Hi thanks for the advice. I will try flashing one more time before the other more drastic method then. Just in case.
Unfortunately the owner is not very good with tech and so can't answer most of those questions that you've listed as i asked her them initially.
She believes she bought from a 3 shop, it has not been unlocked, thinks it had 3 software on it, believe's she got an update about a month ago. seems to point to 3 firmware to me and version 4.3.

Just an update for those that are interested.
Tried flashing the latest 4.3 three network firmware again. Whilst odin said it was successful, it still wouldn't boot past the samsung logo screen (even wiped to factory from recovery).
I then tried the rescue firmware that boomboomer kindly linked to. I used the pit file from the 4.1.2 download, otherwise the remainder of the files from the 4.3 version. Again odin successfully pushed the files to the phone and it seemed to accept it ok. However it made no difference and the phone still gets to the same point.
Recovery mode looks no different to that shown in the picture previously (not sure if it displays) with the same errors of
E: failed to mount /efs (Stale NFS file handle)
E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
The android has fallen over with a red triangle too.
Think i'll have to give up on any further fix therefore and tell her it can't be saved. She is looking for a new hone soon so isn't too much of a loss.
Thanks everyone for your help, really appreciate it.
I know others have looked as well but can anyone *please* dump the rom of their AT&T 4.2.2 stock image for the good of all us AT&T S4 Zoom owners who are stuck in a logo reboot loop or have other problems that require a restore? There are currently no images available on any of the usual places (Samsung firmware, updates etc.)
Thanks very very much in advance!
If you not found any stock rom for C105A At&t... & Your Phone is In Boot loop Stuck on Samsung Logo... Then Just Flash C105A Mexico C105AUBUAND1, 4.2.2 System And Cache Separately in Odin...
This will not work because the AT&T variant of the phone is bootloader locked. You are not able to flash firmware variants unless they are for the AT&T version of the phone. Hence why so many people need a firmware image for AT&T. If anyone has or can make a DD.Image it would help a lot of people.

I'd like to help. I've extracted system.img and cache.img from an AT&T sm-c105a (4.2.2). Unfortunately I didn't read the above instructions very well and placed them both in an odin flashable tar.md5 file. I guess if you want to follow the above proceedure you will need to flash them separately. On the other hand, if you have a brick already anyway, you could just try it out. Any problems with the file post here. Mediafire was being dodgy and I wouldn't be surprised if it was damaged. Anyway here is the link, or as close a facsimile as my noobness will allow: http www mediafire com /download /xbdxb8gun1niwg9 /sm_c105a.zip
So, I assume from the deafening silence that this did not work? I'm not surprised since a dd of a mounted partion (system) can't be a good idea. I have been experimenting with Adebar which is also supposed to make a system backup. Doesn't seem to fully support the phone, or, doesn't create the full backup. I'm open to other ideas....

Don t work to me.
Here are a cache and system image from the AT&T variant of the phone. @awwar can you be more specific. You are in a boot loop? No recovery?? Device recognized by Odin/Heimdall??? I am VERY interested in providing a way to unbrick our phones but am unwilling to brick my only device. If you want to try something post here and I will provide what support I can.
My CM-C105A is in Kies recovery mod mode. I can flash only system and cash tar files. Kies show error when i am traing to recover my phone.
Have you tried the pit file? Sometimes that might help?? Also, I have a boot.img download further up the page. If your bootloader is bad you could get similar symptoms? Kies doesn't like my boot/recovery images? Can you post the specific error? Thanks for replying. c_p

Nothing changed, I flashed whith this firmwares but error. This firmware is too large.
@awwar Ok man, thanks for testing. I hope your skills extend further than the average windows user. You have to extract the files and then repackage them for odin as tar.md5. I think you can do it in windows but I can only talk you through it if you are using linux. I am not sure which image to flash first but Faisalkhan.007 in the first page suggests doing it one file/partition at a time. I would flash my recovery and on reboot try using volume up and home to get to the newly flashed recovery. I think you are getting file too large because you've got more than one file in your flash package. Restore the pit file as a last attempt after trying to flash each partition. I'd love to figure out how to pass you the bootloader only but I've got another project ahead of this. Did you look at some of those links? Try this (search for download mode on the page) if you are having trouble getting to download mode. And this is for osX but might help too. The errors you are getting don't sound like the one I get. I upload an entire file then fail at 100% for an unknown reason. The Heimdall guys say that is due to the locked bootloader. TLDR: Split files, flash singly, reboot and try stuff in between. c_p

I have *three (3)* SM-C105A S4 Zoom Camera phones by Samsun and enjoy them. I have upgraded firmware on 2 so that I can use Remote ... uh, is it Viewfinder? And it works. Not to the point. What I *lost* was compatibility with *ooooooold* Photo Elements. Which, at age 57 I like to use and don't want to relearn. I run it on a virtual XP. What makes this post relevant is that *third* S4. It *hasn't* upgraded. Cracked screen, disused, but I crammed.. well, a bit of fibrous matter...OK , a ciggy-butt, in the battery door, with a rubber-band, to hold a fresh battery in place, ... and it's booting now. So, please give me a month to extract the firmware, yes it is AT&T and also upload Photo Elements, firmware from old and upgraded, to continue the discussions, or not, and to try cloning the two to restore my ability to post process nudies shot with my camera phones. And other pics. I wrote an AI MathCAD program to postprocess nudies (it's fine art fer heaven's sake) that actually simualted the artist's brush strokes. More on all this in I hope a month.

No, back when, I must have applied, not the most recent upgrade, but the intermediate of the three versions.....and all hope is lost. Photos from the oldest S4 I have do *not* open in Photo Elements. None of my cameras produce photos that open in Photo Elements any longer...but they did. I opened an older photo just now.
Dang these upgrades. The message says the JPG file is missing a segment. Phooey.
I have a business account with Samsung and will open a support ticket.
I will not pursue the hack angle for now.
Samsung may help me.
Cheers,

@DGoncz You could do that, or, you could just do a complete wipe/reset. Should be 4.2.2 after that. You may also be able to use a hex editor to set the start of the jpeg file to whatever your proggie wants to see. Good luck c_p
Hello,
Begin of this year I received the android 10 update on my before good working fast Samsung S9+ phone, Nearly a year old ! Just after installing Android10 i got performance issues, and I still cant get used to the new interface. I feel it's getting worse time after time, the keyboard laggs, and the phone has became more buggy and slower.
I just want to go back to Android 9/
Because my phone is still under warranty, I would like to revert without losing warranty. I have read somewhere that if I flash with Odin, Samsung wont notice it. Unless Knox get damaged.
I came across this tuturial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdTT4cEUWc4
Looks simple. Picking the last android 9 release which corresponds my phone and flash it with Odin V3.14.1 like in the video.
Thing I cant find out is.... which country is my phone from? I am from the Netherlands and have bought it from the company BelSimpel. But I can remember it came with some German T-Mobile carrier apps. So maybe they imported it? How can I find this out?
Also , another strange thing is that when I registered the phone with Samsung , it tells me the following:
SM-G960F/DS
SM-G960FZAHLUX
This is NOT the case. It is not a s9 but an S9PLUS
Samsung Galaxy S9+ 64GB G965(F) Duos Black is pointed in the invoice. And also shown on the phone.

And last question...... when I have found out which country I need for stock android 9 (last version), where can I find this last firmwire? Sammobile does not show it for my phone.
I hope you guys can help me out! I bought the phone without a subscription to a carrier, for my carrier I just use sim-only which I frequently change when it gets cheaper elsewhere. I am very depended on the phone, dont have the money to buy a new one so I am very cautious.
The sammobile app says the following on my s9plus
Product Code: SM2G965FZKDDTM
PDA: G965FXXU9ETF6
CSC: G965FODX9ETF6
Baseband: G965FXXU9ETF2,G965FXXU9ETF2
Bootloader: G965FXXU9ETF6
And another app says this: (strange , because I live in the Netherlands)
Can't help you but you definitely helped me. I'm keeping my S9+ on Android 9.
To my knowledge you cannot revert to Pie/9 without loosing warranty. Your phone is on the 965FXXU9ETF6 firmware with CSC code (region code) DTM (which by the way is for Germany).
The bootloader binary of your firmware is XXU9ETF6 is 9. Samsung has rollback prevention implemented in their firmwares which does not allow downgrade to a lower bootloader binary. The latest Pie firmware for your region is G965FXXS7CSK6, binary 7, which unfortunately makes downgrade impossible without loosing warranty.
Have you tried a full factory reset? It might solve your problems. I see that you are on OneUI 2.1, which to my experience should be pretty good. Battery is awesome. I'm on G965FXXU9ETF5 for the NEE region (Nordic) and everything is fine.

Good evening Sten,
Thank you for your information.
The biggest issue for me is the warranty. The Android Doctor user from youtube says: it doesn't void warranty
I don't know on what information he based this conclusion, but I am asking him and waiting for a reply.
After a bit more research I've also found this ( but not concrete how they got this info about not losing warranty)
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS9/comments/e3kp9f/downgrade_s9_android_10_to_9/
there's no way for your warranty to expire unless Knox is tripped. Therefore your warranty should not be voided unless you make a mistake

Doubt you'll ruin the warranty unless you trip Knox. Use Odin and you'll need a firmware with the same boot loader. However I have had a S8 get bricked by Samsung and their beta program. Good luck

Short answer, reflash official Pie Rom with odin. You can flash official Rom with odin million times with no problem. Note: you can always flash the official Android 10 ROM for your country later when it got released. No warranty problem at all.

Also, when I check the firmwires. I See the latest PHN firmwire for Netherlands is (G965FOXM7CSJ5)

EDIT:
I have an answer from Android Doctor:
I didn't have a problem downgrading ,however it has been sometime since I downgraded back to Android 9.0 so there's been many Android 10 security updates and patches that probably now prevent the Downgrade,however u should be able to first Downgrade to the earliest Android 10 firmware resulting in it removing any Downgrade prevention patches then after that try the Downgrade back to the latest Android 9.0
What do you think about this?
There is no way you can remove the downgrade prevention as far as I know unless you downgrade to a version with the same bootloader binary. Someone in this forum with more experience might have other information (I'm no expert). You are already on Android 10, OneUI 2.1, with bootloader binary 9, and you cannot revert back the regular Odin way to the first release of Android 10, OneUI 2.0, which has bootloader binary 7. Odin will simply prevent that because of mismatch in bootloader binary version.
It is correct, though, that you can flash an official firmware how many times you like without triggering Knox - but again that requires the same bootloader binary to work.
You need to use TWRP to flash old .imgs because its already updated bootloader
Ok guys. Its still under one year warranty from Samsung. Ive traveled 300km to a repair center but they ended up just updating the system software and say there is nothing wrong with the phone. I swear it is so terrible slow that it really pisses me off!
I have nearly used it for a year. Maybe I should sell it, and go for another brand since Samsung has screwed me many times before. Does anyone know if the Pixel 5 is a good phone? Though I heard they will use samsung chips.
At the repair centre they also said it is impossible to revert back to android 9. Is this true? Such a pity, I liked the s9+ very much on android 9 and have bought lots of accesoires.
I'd try flashing stock with Odin to COMPLETELY wipe the phone, not just a simple factory reset from settings or recovery. Maybe it'll fix all your performance issues. Make sure to backup everything correctly.

My s8+ had UAE firmware on it, settings showed FD version but all other apps like HW info and antutu, Samsung members said F only.
Moving forward I tried to flash a custom official noble rom, and I clicked install twrp too. Fast forward after installation my phone only is stuck in downloading screen, and holding down volume down and power button keeps taking me back to download mode, and it won’t even boot or do anything else. It’s just stuck. I tried to flash official firmware from Odin, i wasn’t sure what my csc was so I flashed and tried every single rom of UAE and I could not flash a single one. It keeps failing. My sister has exams, and I’m being held responsible, I’m poor and my mom can’t buy her a new phone let alone fix this from a shop. I beg any kind soul to please help me out of this.

I am in Bangladesh, this is a second hand phone and I’m not sure but I sense that this used to be a single sim phone and the previous owner put a dual SIM card tray and installed firmware for FD model, and somehow both sims did use to work just fine.
I’ll tell you where everything went wrong and what was the state of the device so that you can make a better judgement of where I ****ed up.
1. I used adb fast boot from cmd to reboot the phone into fastboot.
2. I installed linageos 19.1 android 12 version and the phone was working perfectly. The custom rom was installed.
3. Then I wanted to tweak the phone to increase battery life, stop over heating and screen flicker so I did some research and downloaded hadesRom v12.0 Pie S8/S8+/Note8 and stored it in my phone memory and flashed it in the similar way as linage OS. I also went ahead and tried to install a2n kernel. When trying to install, I received a message saying that I’m trying to install a wrong kernel where my g955 is “N” and not “F” which indicates that it’s a Korean variant but this contradicts everything I’ve done before, anyway that didn’t create a problem but I did this without even rebooting after the hades rom. Ever since then, I’ve been booted back to download mode and I’ve tried flashing official firmwares but nothing helped. It failed every time I’ve been up all night since yesterday and my mother is on the verge of kicking me out, I’m pulling my own hair to find out what is actually wrong but I can’t find anything.
All details of what has been done to the device***

Is this with F, or FD as the end of the model firmware?
It sounds like the PIT error happens when the firmware isn't the right version.
Also, do you want the BNG (Bangladesh) firmware or something else?

BNG firmware is fine, I don’t know if I should flash F or FD, as I’ve tried both and both have failed. I’d rather go back to A9 and then work my way around. And I have all the firmwares downloaded. I think I’ve messed up my boot loader somehow.

Look at this tutorial. I've followed it before. Just make sure that you're flashing it properly with Odin, as you need to make sure you wipe the device:
As you can see, flashing the CSC file will wipe, whereas the HOME_CSC will not.
