So I purchase this note 8 5 months ago it is a Tmobile Note 8. I recently updated to the latest security patch. I came across this unbrand tutorial and downloaded the patched Odin, XAA rom, BL,CSC, AP. While I try to flash my note 8 in download mode Odin just start and end in a few seconds. Nothing happening in my phone. No error code either.
So is it not possible to flash unbranded firmware now due to locked bootloader? I saw article that saying flashing carrier unlocked firmware will brick the phone.

1. You need patched Odin
2. PC needs recent Samsung USB drivers
3. Check the downloaded file's integrity (for corruption)
XAA can be flashed to any SD model. I used CSA1 on mine, but currently using TMO fw. Phones with locked loaders will generally accept signed packages.

Assuming I have the right firmware, ap, black, CSC, and my phone in download mode, when I press start in Odin nothing happen on my phone nor the progress bar in odin. No error code for odin as well. It says something like fail to execute.

Alright I might download the 3.13.1_3B and try now. Does using home CSC affect the flags because I dont want to wipe my drive yet. I was hoping pie update will kinda fix what might be mess up during the flash

DON'T use home csc unless you're flashing the same carrier fw (tmo -> tmo). You need the other one (oym). And yeah, it'll erase everything.

Before wiping anything manually unlink your Google account (frp) and Samsung account. You can backup most things with Smart Switch. Some apps or fames store files in /root/Android/. No clue about Kies, never tried it.

Something isn't right. Did you install the current Samsung drivers? You also need to fill everything (AP, BL, etc).
Edit: Try another USB port. Preferably USB2. Also check the archive you downloaded in 7zip, it might be corrupted.

Sadly all the usb port on my laptop is usb 3. I download the firmware from Samfirm twice, tried it both didnt work now checking it with 7zip as im typing.
Alright 7zip says no errors.
Just to clarify, the I have bootloader v5 does that inhibit my ability to flash unbranded firmware?
I have RMVP provisioned and RMVP fuse blown on the download screen and Qualcomm secure boot on, i dont know if it matter to the flash. I have read some thread windows 10 might be one of the reason it fails. I dont know. I might start from removing my google account and try.

You need to get to a USB2 port. None of my Type C phones function correctly when plugged into the USB3 port.
Downgrading BL isn't possible, but you can switch to a fw with the same BL version. My N8 was on the Sept patch (TMB) before I moved to CRL2. Windows 10 can cause conflicts on some setups. I'm an insider so using a test build of W10, not the normal one.
The reason you should remove the account is just to avoid placing a Google lock on your own phone.

- To flash an unbranded firmware (U1) download this patched Odin https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657595813
- Then you can go from CRL1 to CRL2 flashing this firmware through Odin https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603907794 take a backup using Smart Switch, you can keep it in your sdcard, don´t forget to enable USB debugging in developer options, go to recovery manually or use adb reboot recovery to be sure that pc is detecting device properly, format data and reboot to bootloader (according recovery stock menu) and flash the files using CSC_OYM (you need to format your actual CSC).
- Till here is done and you´ll receive an OTA notification to update to the latest Oreo CSA1 (aproximately 46MB) but if you want to go to Pie betas don´t update it and download this zip and flash it in recovery https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603909037
- And this is the latest Pie beta update available for unbranded Note8 https://firmware.science/download?url=00000/0000/SS-N950U1UEU5ZSAB-to-EU5ZSBB-UP

HELP, i've downloaded countless versions of the Stock recovery MD5 file and none are working to unbrick my Verizon galaxy S4 Firmware ver:*VRUAME7 (came stock with this firmware when purchased) and nothing is working. I was trying to install the recovery files from "sxtpdevelopers"
After successfully rooting using the microSD card method, I stupidly installed GooIM and then tried to install twrp.. I forgot that this version of firmware didn't have the bootloader unlocked yet and when the I booted into recovery it took me straight to " firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." *I already tried KIES recovery but it asks for serial number. THERE NO DAMN serial numbers anywhere on the phone, battery, or box that work. (including IMEI)
I then figured DOWNLOAD MODE worked so let me flash the stock odin file but I keep getting a FAIL installation every time.
FYI; I'm using parallels for mac and windows 8 to run odin. all the com ports are ok and I know there isn't a connection problem.
Any help would be appreciated. THANKS.*

THANK YOU SO MUCH!.. The funny thing is I had downloaded "SCH-I545_VZW_1_20130613171315_24s13crny1_fac.zip" already in my trials and tribulations. Probably the one I downloaded was corrupt because this one installed with a breeze. The one located on that site worked instantly. Now if we can just get that bootloader unlocked. I wish was a programming genius sometimes, I would unlock it; then take that ransom and donate it. Thanks again
Just wanted to say thanks. I was able to use that link + Odin3 to get my friend's Verizon Galaxy S4 back to normal. Best Buy and a Samsung rep at the store were unable to handle this lol

You can boot into download mode on the phone?
Holding the volume down and power button at the same time? If so..
Use kies air, it will say that the phone is unsupported but still navigate to emergency firmware upgrade and put in the device model and S/N number located on the back of the phone or on the box, hope this works for you

This Firmware is taken right from the SamFirm Tool so its as Official as it can be
WARNING, ONCE YOU TAKE THE PJ2 UPDATE, YOU CANNOT ROLL BACK TO ANY OLDER FIRMWARE!!
How to Install:
Download and Install Samsung Drivers
Download the Firmware below and Unzip
PrinceCosmy Odin 3.12 Here and Unzip
Place appropriate files in Odin: BL, AP, CP, CSC or Home_CSC
CSC will full wipe partitions to factory reset, Home_CSC flashes firmware but preserves user data
Click Start to start the process
First boot may take awhile so be patient!
In rare events of issues with incomplete firmware installations, you may need to try a different USB cable.

PJ2 uses Bootloader 4 so you can only flash firmware that uses that Bootloader. Like the Latest Version of the G930U can be flashed.
So you wouldn't be able to flash earlier ones correct even if you wipe

I can confirm this, I was stock and took the pj2 update. Decided to tinker with an eng boot loader and it went south. Wasn't able to odin and previous versions and ended up going to sprint for them to flash pj2. Now we have pj2 to download ( thanks @colin0998 ) so, onward with more tinkering.
Please bold and highlight the difference between CSC and Home CSC. I accidentally read past it (at my own fault) and reset my device. I understand that this is my own doing but please do something to draw attention towards it so others dont make the same mistake.

Has this rom been rooted and if so, where?
Thank you.
I needed this badly. I had rooted my s7 with the engineering boot loader and it decided that it would not participate in the carrier network AND reboot at will. Then it decided to spin on the LTE Full Speed splash screen until the battery drained. I did have root over adb and it did work, but something went sideways. I will skin this cat but the day is not today.
One thing to note: The Odin supplied in the download link did not work for me. It would start and then exit very quickly with some unidentified unicode dialog box. I had to go and find another copy of Odin 3.12 from elsewhere which did work.
I'm back to stock and everything is more or less calm with the exception of the sprint and samsung bloatware. I mean, seriously, why are one or more shopping apps in the priv-app install anyway?
:good:

I bought an unlocked sprint cellphone on ebay and shipped it to Brazil. It came with sprint rom, and i flashed 930U PEH.
After that, I tried flashing 930P PF2, without success.
Then I tried flashing 930U PEH again, still no success.
Then I flashed this PJ2, it booted normally, but no more cellphone signal.

You probably lost your unlock during all of that. This has happened to me before. I had an unlock done on 930P then went to 930U and the unlock was still there. But once i went back to 930P I had lost the unlock so had to have it done again.
You might be in the same situation where after all of those flashes back and forth it became locked again. Suggestion is to install 930P PJ2, root it, then use an unlock service. Once done it will be unlocked. You can install 930U if you want afterwards if you do not want the Sprint bloat.

3 most recent odin flashable bootloaders and modems For S5 G900T&T3 From 12/16 - 4/17
These were created from the stock roms and tested on my g900T using odin 3.11.2
So,if you want to update your bootloader and modem without having to flash the stock rom,then these are what you need.
Instructions:
Turn off your phone completely and manually boot into download mode.
Open odin 3.11.2,then plug your phone into your usb,and make sure odin sees it.

This is driving me nuts...I'm following the instructions. Odin is recognizing modem and my phone...but when I hit "start" it's giving me a "fail" message immediately after "now writing...please wait about 2 minutes" I've tried 3 USB ports and 3 cords. I have a 5.1.1 modem and can't flash to 7.x unless I update my modem to MM. I have no idea what to do.

Yes...G900T...currently running CM13.0 but would like to upgrade to one of the Nougat ROM's. My Odin version is 3.11.1...I know you call for 3.11.2...I'll download it if you think it will really make a difference.
Thanks...

Yeah,try using Odin 3.11.2...Also,try turning the phone off,remove the battery for a minute,then boot into download mode.Also,are your USB drivers up to date on your computer?...If you can't get it to work still,you may have to flash the latest stock rom to get the modem and boot update,then just reflash TWRP,and restore your backup...

For some reason or another, Norton is kicking 3.11.2 off my computer...but I've even tried a newer version...3.12.3...still didn't work. I always do a battery pull before flashing and (according to Windows) my USB drivers are current. I thought about flashing a stock rom but that requires Odin and if I can't flash a modem, I certainly can't flash a ROM. Geez...the phone gods hate me!

Well, I tried disabling Norton...same result. Using Windows 10. The computer is new...Christmas present...but that doesn't mean its foolproof. Tomorrow I'm gonna download Odin and a couple modem files to my wife's laptop and try again. I think your instructions are fine...I've used every port and every USB cord I can find...maybe my computer has some sort of glitch...who knows.

Well,can't speak for windows 10. don't like anything past windows 7. I run a dual boot windowsXP-windows 7 PC,I use the windows 7 to do all flashing.What OS is your wife's laptop? Let me know how it turns out.

Failed again...tried on wife's laptop (windows 8.1)...made sure to use 3.11.2 and Samsung USB cord...recognized phone and failed as it always does...right after "writing...wait 2 minutes". Got to be a glitch in my phone somewhere and I don't think I want to go through the aggravation of doing a complete system wipe. I do have an old Dell desktop running XP in the closet...maybe I'll break it out and try it...but like I said, I think it's my phone. Thanks for all your help.

I find it hard to believe its your phone...i don't think windows XP will work,Tryed it once,and its just too old of a operating system...If you know someone with a windows 7 computer,you can try that..Mine always works find when i boot into windows 7 and flash.Its very possible its those newer windows versions that are doing it..But i can't say for sure.Good luck with it,and let me know how it turns out.
You did try with all the modems and bootloaders i posted here,right?

I've let this sit for a few days and am pretty much out of options. I've used every port on my Windows10 desktop and wife's Windows 8.1 laptop...multiple Samsung cords (including the original one), multiple Odin versions, every posted modem. Windows says my drivers are up to date and Odin recognizes my phone every time. The only thing I can think of is that somehow my phone has developed a glitch..doesn't seem logical because it is working fine...but who knows. Have even tried to flash with Norton disabled, bluetooth disabled..and who knows what else. Not even thinking of trying to flash back to stock since I can't even flash a modem. But what about bootloaders? Have not tried to flash the comparable bootloader because I don't see how that effects the modem..but what do you think?

FOG6...same as the modem...came with the phone...supports 5.1.1. Haven't tried to flash the comparable bootloader yet because: 1. I never thought about it and 2. I figured if Odin didn't let me flash a modem, probably wouldn't let me flash a bootloader either.
Hi!,
I have an S9+ duos version and still have to received the androp p update. Actually I've never received any update since i bought the phone last Year June.
I would like to know what should I check for if im downloading the os and installing it through odin.
Will installing theough odin trip knox?
Can the knox counter be untripped?
Please help guys. New to the whole thing (obviously ?)
flashing stock ROM using odin will not trip knox
make sure to flash the ROM for the same model
Stock Firmware Help
I've downloaded an android 9 firmware before it came to my phone model (SM-G965F/DS) and flashed it. When I check under Software Update in settings it says "Your current software version isn't supported visit a service center".
Is there a way to go back to the factory firmware it came with through smart switch or.... how do i find the correct firmware to flash with odin? Because i dont have any version details from before...
Please help!

I believe as long as you do a full clean flash, the software update will function normally. By full clean flash I mean flashing the CSC and not HOME_CSC, and flashing userdata if that was included in your firmware, although I'm not sure if that part affects this or not. But the CSC, which will wipe your data by the way, should set everything straight I believe. It has worked for me.

Oh, you said you flashed the firmware package, so did it have four or five different files inside the package, like AP, BL, CSC etc? You put each file in the respective slot in Odin, and instead of using HOME_CSC, use CSC, which will wipe your data but it will line up the customer code with the firmware so that updates should work as normal.
