hi there,
i flash my phone with a wrong pit file, and i run into a problem. its already fixed again by my self, but i want to share my experience with you, maybe someone can use it too.
you can download stock- roms, odin and pit files for your phone on sammobile.com. i found a explanation on samdownloads.de with follow information's:
- pit file with 220 on the end is for 16gb version
- pit file with 322 is for 32bg version
- pit file with 329 is for 64gb version
HOLD ON! This information's are wrong for me, and that's why i ran into this problem.
so i download a rom, and i choose the 322 file for my device and start with the flash process. result from that was, that odin hangs on step, SET PARTITION, and that was it. before, i already deleted the other pit files, while i was thinking i didn't need it. so the first was, i investigate some times to find the pit files on the net again and i start to flash with all files, one after the other..
my phone hangs with 220 pit file, with 322 pit file but i get it successfully flashed with 329 file, which if i believe to samdownloads.de was the file for the 64gb version of the phone.
in my opinion and if i look on my experience right now, for international i9300 32bg version the right pit file was the 329. after flashing it again, my phone was again fully stock, everything was fine, my 25gb free space was there, so its fine.
maybe i can help someone with this information's..

I've had my S3 since may 25th MAY and done tons of flashing of ROMS. Never have i ticked the pit as it was clearly mentioned in all the flashing tutorials. There is no need to do it and dont need to encourage others to do something which can hard brick their phones.

its only as a information, maybe somebody runs into the same problem..
It's true that's it's not advised to play with pit files, but I think it would be better if you explained to people why.
Pit files are to be used only when you need to restore partition layout on the phone. That means after you mess up partitions and not before. Bu some guys just ignore warnings like this.

The why is generally that they use the wrong PIT files .
One of the stupid reasons why is going to forum xxxx downloading firmware from them then coming here to ask why has it broke my phone .
PIT mistakes for SG range are in the thousands not just the odd few .

Nothing you can do. If you flash a wrong pit file then your phone is broken. Hard bricked.
The only possibility for you is finding someone with a JTAG box. Try one of those phone repair shops. AFAIK, that's your only hope.
Flashing a wrong pit file is pretty much the worst possible thing you can do to your phone. How the hell did you manage to flash the wrong pit file? Didn't you double, triple, quadruple check that it was the correct file before flashing?
Please don't tell me that you knew that the file was meant for another phone? I've actually seen people do that... :facepalm:

It is possible because people usually think in terms of branding. Not aware different models may exist in different regions. Example the note gen1 has Korean and Chinese and US versions, each has a different model number.

HELP i think flashed the wrong .tar root file for my Galaxy J7 Pro
Hey man,
XDA doesn't trust me enough to let me make my own post and as I'm writing this I'm supposed to be studying for the 3 exams I will be having.
So,
I rooted my phone susing ODIN and the same root file a few months ago on Android 7.1 and it worked. I used it with TWRP recovery and everthing was fine.
Then the Android Oreo update was released for my phone, finally, and I hooked my phone up to my laptop and downloaded the firmware using Samsung's new Software called SmartThings.
Now I had stock ROM, but my device was recognized as rooted and modified, so couldn't use a few apps like Samsung Health and Pay. Then, without thinking, I put my phone in Download Mode and flashed the SAME .tar root file with ODIN, and now my phone won't boot to the pulsating Samsung logo and is stuck in the bootloader
wanted to say that Odin said PASS when .tar file was downloaded in the AP slot
In download mode,
Download Mode says:
Current Binary: Custom
System status: Official
FAP LOCK: OFF
OEM LOCK: OFF
Secure Download: Enabled
WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x0303)
I have access to STOCK recovery and download mode, and I've already tried factory resetting phone and wiping cache. I don't want to take more rash steps without someone knowledgeable guiding me. and I cant find any other forum to post on because I'm not a high enough member.

Here's a little more info that might help. I tried booting the device without holding the buttons just a second ago, and this is what is on the screen.
Image size too large! W:1080, H:1920
display image fail
Secure Fail: Kernel
Ok, so I think I'm having issues because I don't have the right firmware.
From what I've been reading is that there isn't a firmware released for the i527 for AT&T correct? Or can someone point me in the direction for that ROM.

From what I'm gathering there is no TAR available for 442 so we can't flash in Odin. I don't know about you but I can't get to recovery either.

I got the same problem as well tired to root it didn't work then tired to flash stock rom and I.got display image.to large can some give me right file for rogers Canada cell please and.what.do I need.checked.off in odin
I found these files by chance in the forums somewhere, i repair cellphones and was working on a work around for the replacement screens not working for the i527 At&t, these files will put fix your current softbrick and restore you back to 4.4.2
Using odin v3.09 place each file in each location Pit in Pit, BL in BL, etc. And let finish, everything should be back working once complete. I do not take credit for these files, as stated before i found these on XDA somewhere and cant remember exactly.

Hi,
I'm from the UK and have an S6 Edge Live demo unit. I was reading somewhere that you can flash the stock software onto it and get it working. In order to do this, I started off by using ODIN to root the phone. This worked fine. Upon the restart, it got bricked. I tried to use the custom firmware, SM-G925F, to try to restore the device, but I keep on getting the following error:
<ID:0/006> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/006> FAIL!
I tried both the VIR and XEU versions, but no luck. Even if I can't flash the stock firmware onto this, is there anyway I can restore the demo unit functionality by re-flashing the demo firmware?
Thanks in advance!
was reading that smart manager for PC have a option to emergency restore firmware...

Thanks for the response. I did exactly that which did seem to get me going and booting into the LDU ROM. This one seems to have the kit, but no modem installed. And it seems to have responded to the T-mobile CF-Root, but i get the same error when I try installing the T-mobile Stock ROM.
leaves the cell turned on until it goes out. After it loads, and off you go into recovery, wipe / reset after power done the cell goes out. Go download and install the FW with odin 3.10.6. Personally tried with SM-G925F :good:

Thanks for the reply, but that still does not work with the SM-G925X (Live demo unit) with the T-Mobile ROM. The build that shows up in recovery is LRX22G.G925TUVU1AOC3. From the T after 925 it tells me it is a T-Mobile variant.
My problem is the same one, I´ve bricked the 925X during the rooting with ODIN Can anybody help? Greetz from Germany
What did you do to unbrick it?
Have you managed to flash a stock fw?

I have flashed a G925F Stock ROM on my S6 Edge LDU - it works!
You only have to remove cm.bin and sboot.bin from the ROM tar archive before you flash it with Odin.

How did you manage to remove the 2 files from the tar archive and keep the rest within it, as all i can do is extract each file from the archive and convert is to tar.md5 separately.
Please share, how you deleted the files from the tar archive what program did you use. As you have flashed the stock rom does it still say live demo unit when booting up.Thanks
If you are using OS X you can just use "tar" on the command line. For Windows the "Total Commander" might be a good and easy choice.
You only have to extract the rom archive and then repack it without the 2 files mentioned. And you don't have to worry about the md5 stuff. It works fine without the validation checksums - just repack it with a .tar ending.
The boot loader will stay the same, so you still have the Live Demo boot screen.

For Windows, can we just use 7z software to open the archive, delete these two files and save it as is

After flashed go on to the dialing pad dial and dial *#0*# this is the command for testing the phone mine comes up as (not register on network) No commands are now working on the dial pad, what's yours coming up as, can you get any command to function after flashing?
Possibly is because the modem file has been flashed.
Have you already opened your LDU? Have you found a modem chip?
No I have not opened it up but have opened up other devices and they have missing antennas and ic chips so there is no use in opening it.

Hey!
I first got my galaxy s6, model; SM-G920I around start of May 2015 and I rooted via CF autoroot a few days after.
Haven't done much since, however, today I decided I wanted to update my software to lollipop 5.1 and to do that I first had to unroot via SuperSU and then update via Smart Switch.
After all the preparations were completed in Smart Switch, my device failed during the process, sending me to the cyan screen saying, "An error has occured while updating the device software..." .
This incident rendered my device unrecognizable by Smart Switch and since then I have not been able to flash the stock SM-G920I ROM via odin, as it always FAILS.
tl;dr
-rooted phone
-unrooted phone for software update
-device failed during smartswitch process
-cannot flash stock via odin
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[EDIT]: I cannot get into recovery mode
Can you get to download mode?

Which tool did you use?
mojo_jodroid said:
I presume you were talking about the "CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltedv-smg920i" file.
There was only a Cache.img and Recovery.img but no hidden.img
[EDIT]: My mistake I found the hidden .img in the SM-G920I firmware. I will try the rest now.

Could you explain how you found it please?
I have the same issue.
The screens you UL-ed dont help me.
I only see the first capture of yours appearing on my screen, but no hidden.img.
Thanks.
This did the trick. After 4 hours of frustration, this is the only thing that bailed me out. Thanks Alex :good:

Hey!
I first got my galaxy s6, model; SM-G920I around start of May 2015 and I rooted via CF autoroot a few days after.
Haven't done much since, however, today I decided I wanted to update my software to lollipop 5.1 and to do that I first had to unroot via SuperSU and then update via Smart Switch.
After all the preparations were completed in Smart Switch, my device failed during the process, sending me to the cyan screen saying, "An error has occured while updating the device software..." .
This incident rendered my device unrecognizable by Smart Switch and since then I have not been able to flash the stock SM-G920I ROM via odin, as it always FAILS.
tl;dr
-rooted phone
-unrooted phone for software update
-device failed during smartswitch process
-cannot flash stock via odin
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[EDIT]: I cannot get into recovery mode

I was facing a very similar issue and this tip has saved me, thank you so much Alex-V
What is the hidden.img file used for and why does deleting it fix our issues?
Just curious,
Thank you again!
on a note 5 i can flash it that way too ?
if i have the same problem on a note 5 N920T (i know we are talking about S6 edge ) but doing that on any android with soft brick will work?
Hi, Im writting this threat to solve a problem with my s6 edge. Two weeks ago I bought a phone from Aliexpress, and when it came everithing was okey, it came with 5.1.1, so i decided to upgrade to 6.0.1. How the phone was new and i had no idea about which rom install I installed the 5 files rom XEU without making a backup of the EFS folder. After install it, the phone worked, but it wasn´t able to make calls or recieve SMS, the phone said "no registered on network". I tried to solve this problem installing a modem, but this aggravate the problem, appearing a prohibited sign in the status bar and with the IMEI and Baseband unknown. I tried to install another roms, but odin always failed, the only rom that odin let me install is the AP file of the 5 files XEU rom. I sent the phone to the Samsung technical service, and the said me that they can´t repair the phone because the phone is from Israel, and they only repair EU phone. The phone works, everything is okey but it can´t use the network services. How the technical service said me the phone is from Israel, and it came (if im not wrong) with this rom: "G925FXXU3COJ1_G925FOJK3COJ3_ILO" (5.1.1 rom from Israel), but now the only rom that works is "AP_G925FXXS3DPB1_CL7025264_QB8758701_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5" (the AP file from the 5 files 6.0.1 XEU rom). I don´t know how to solve the problem, the phone is totally new, and when I try to install any rom Odin gets fail. Can anybody help me? Is the first time I buy a good phone and on the third day it gets broken. Any solution? Please help me, thanks. (Sorry for my bad English, I´m from Spain)

Yes I have tried with Samsung Smart Switch, but Nothing, it don't let me restore the phone
Try flashing a firmware with the number 4
For example I flashed with G925FXXU4DPGW
If you try to flash with a firmware with 3 in the place of 4 it might not work. So try it.

Just flash the stock firmware for your region.
Or try to flash stock XEU or BTU. Most international firmwares and multi csc firmwares come with efs or modem files.
If you are trying to flash a branded firmware this could be why as this happened when I tried to flash EVR rom.
I can link you to the stock XEU download that I'm using.
If you get an fail in odin let me know where it fails... example hidden.img fail or system.img fail.

Hi Callumbr1, I´ve tried to install the 5.1.1 rom of my country (spain), but Odin gets fail, at first it fails at "cm.bin" archive, so I deleted it from the tar archive, then I flash the rom again and another Odin problem, it failed at "hidden.img", so I also deleted it from the tar archive, afterwards I flash again and another odin problem at "sboot.bin" (this sboot archive always fail when I try to flash a rom), so I also deleted it. After having removed the 3 archives from the original tar archive (the rom was G925FXXU3COI9_G925FPHE3COI6_PHE), the rom started to flash normally but after it the phone gets stuck on Samsung galaxy S6 edge logo.
I also have tried to install the 5.1.1 XEU (G925FXXU3COI9_G925FOXA3COI9_XEU), but also same problem at "hidden.img" and at "sboot.bin", after deleting them, another bootloop. What can I do? Maybe I have to start trying to flash 6.0.1 roms, I will also try to flash roms with number 4 how Subhy259 said. What do you think Callumbr1, what can I do?

What firmware was you on before? Was it 6.0.1? Is so you have to flash a 6.0.1 rom. You can't flash from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1.
Hidden.img fail means you need pit file for partitions.
Was the device unlocked when you got it? It could have locked bootloader which means you will have to flash the firmware it came with.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/85917/G925FXXU4DPGW_G925FOXA4DPGW_XEU/
Flash this firmware see if this works. It's multi csc European so should work.
If you get any errors copy the odin log to here so I can see. The good news is its not bricked. We just need to find the firmware that will flash

Callumbr1 I´ve alrready installed the rom you said (without any problem) and now the phone detects the sim and has the correct IMEI and S/N, but when I try to call or use the network the phone says "Not registered on network", why is this happening? How can I solve this? It´s a modem problem?

Go on to settings then reset. Reset network settings. then go onto mobile networks, set to LTE/3g/2g. Set work network to auto. Reboot phone and should work
Or set the network to the same as your sim

I've tried that but still on "Not registered on network" (it should be a phone problem because the sim works in other phones), I think it's a modem problem, maybe flashing the modem of another rom could work. What do you think?

Look at this thread. You need the top pit file zerolte_eur_open.pit
In odin you need to insert the firmware into AP again and click on pit where the options are. Insert the downloaded pit file and make sure re partition and f.reset is checked and then flash.
