Hello guys!
I want to ask something.
I have just rooted my sgsII with a CF-Root 5.5
and i have installed through cwmr, a custom rom.
Everything is fine!
I have a question..
I want to change the csc that custom rom have (NEELP4)
with the OXXLPH (i have download the csc file).
So, can you tell me how?
Thanks in advance!
Using Odin.
Put the phone in download mode
Put the csc in csc and flash. Remember it might wipe the phone.
I tried that once, but then the phone stack at boot screen..
If this is the correct method, i will try again.
(i checked only the csc box at odin).
Any other suggestions before i give a 2nd chance with ODIN..?
Why dont you flash a custom ROM like mine.It has a muti CSC pack including the CSC for Greece because the Dev is greek.It would be a lot easier and less risky.Click on the link below that says ICS
Thanks for your advice.
I want to try for some days the rom i have now..
Any other suggestions?
Is the correct procedure to flash only the csc with ODIN?
Yeah mate just put it CSC dont select anything else and then hit the start button.Could wipe some data you have on your phone and some say that you should do a factory reset after the phone boots so if you have Titanium then backup your apps.
Hello friends, im new to the S6 forum. A fer days back i bought a used S6 Edge from ebay for very cheap. The phone had "software issues" according to the seller. I tought that it would not be so difficult to just download the correct firmware for it and flash it with ODIN, but it seems that it will be a little more complicated than that.
When i turn on the phone, it shoes the samsung s6 edge splash screen and then turns of and on again in a bootloop. When i try to access recovery mode by presing vol up + home + power nothing happens. I only have access to download mode. First i tried flashing arecovery into it, the ODIN process completed succesfully but I still cannot access recovery. I then tried to flash a firmware with ODIN and the process failed from the start. I got a NAND START WRITE FAILED message.
So at this point I really dont know what else to try. I have some sort of experience with LG and HTC phones but not so much with samsung,but if someone can point me on the right direction I think that i will be able to do it. Any help and ideas would be really apreciated!
BTW my S6 Edge is the emerald green version. Ive seen that the color matters somehow...?
Try to flash with pit file included to The latest firmware for the model. ..

Thanks! i already tried that but i get NAND Write error no matter what...?
I had the same problem a few weeks ago and I just couldn't find an answer so I had to kind of figure it out myself, I'm going to try to help you as much as I can, Well Apparently you have the g925f so go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...p-recovery-2-8-7-1-g925f-android-5-1-t3144866
And download the twrp and flash it with Odin, you should be able to flash it without any problem unlike the firmware, when you're done,* you should be able to enter the recovery mode ( vol up + home + power ) Then try factory reset, And it should boot now, If it does, download this rom ( i recommend it because it's really light and it gets you out of trouble as it did to me )
xtrestolite (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-3-t3119968)
Then flash it with twrp again and everything should be working now
Pd: If for some reason it gets stuck on the setup wizard dont do anything and download the rom from a computer and transfer the file, since you can actually transfer files in the setup wizard. Then install it.
my s6 edge 64Gb SM-G925F / G925FXXU5EQH6 is also bricked please hlep
Hi I need help with my s6 edge 64Gb SM-G925F / G925FXXU5EQH6 S/N RF8G60B9LJT from new unlocked but I am on the UK 3 network.
I never messed with my phone, I got an updated in the background and it crashed.
I could not reboot. It crashed during clear cash, restore factory settings and smart switch.
I took it into Samsung store they reset it, but it is still restarting after a short time.
I took it back and they say it was rooted or messed with. yes by a bad update and so out of warranty now by magic.
I have no choice but to root using odin 3.12.7 and 3.12 using sammobile G925FXXU5EQH6 image
it does not work either.
I think the partition table is messed up as I tried ZEROLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit and SM-G925F H3G pit from sammobile
Still, no luck getting this to unbrick.
Please help and advice
Kind regards David

If the firmware has 5 files after extracting make sure you use the .CSC file and not the home_csc

You cannot change between csc and home_csc. It's just some firmwares come as 5 separate files. In your case just flash the .md5 firmware through AP in Odin.
Still no luck

Well, it got further but stuck in a loop. Sometimes saying corrupted data storage, sometimes gets to the new 3 logo.
Do you have the correct re-partition file? I may have messed mine up.

If it gets stuck on the 3 logo for a while. Just leave it to boot it can take up to 20 minutes.
Or boot to recovery and wipe data/ cache
If that don't work flash the firmware again along with this pit file

You don't need your phone the moment.
You can always flash it by flashing the required PIT file or by removing hidden.img from the firmware file, but you will get a lot of Vodafone-branded applications.
Just download the latest firmware (Binary Nature) though SamFirm. (SM-G925F // SEB)
Then, extract the PIT file from the CSC part and flash it via Odin with these options ticked :
• Auto Reboot
• Re-Partition
• F. Reset Time
• Nand Erase All
*if you want to reset all counters (like how much time you put earphones/charger in your phone)* • Phone EFS Clear

how you can be so sure that the link that you provide about the firmware is better? i mean why i cant flash this? its imposible ..
Everything is fine after I flashed the firmware that you gave me. Thank you very much my first. If you want explain me what happened and I couldn't flash the firmware that I download in first place. Thanksssss ))))
How I can root my phone now it's run nougat? Before I flashed a kernel.. now what? What if there is no custom kernel? That kernel contain supersu..
i just root my device.. is there any way to fix 0x1 knox? i mean when i flash a stock rom via odin or any program.. because when i flash the 7.0 i saw that the knox was 0x1 .. i was rooted thats why its 0x1.. but after flashing a stock firmware is there anyway to fix this? because maybe some time i am gonna sell this phone and dont want to saying knox 0x1.. i dont care then about the root but only the knox to will be as it was from the factory..
Once you've triggered the Knox counter there's no way to reset it sadly.
However, Knox is only useful for warranty purposes and if you're selling the phone then the warranty won't transfer over to the new owner anyway.
I have used "Triangle Away" by Chainfire to clear my Knox counters on every Sammy phone I ever had. Works like a charm.

It worked for me
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?

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

(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?

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

Hum, just noticed in download mode that the device has on the reactivation lock.
Could that be one problem that i face?
hi. i've flashed official 4.4 via odin in my Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9305). but it stucks on WELCOME screen. Welcome screen is screen which appears after SAMSUNG logo, from where i can select language and access accessibility settings. i tried different custom roms too but phone stucks on WELCOME screen (basically setup screen). I can't move further because everytime i restart or flash new rom it stucks.
any idea how to get rid of this.
REMEMBER: it's not bootloop error. Phone boots properly but after the SAMSUNG logo on the set up screen (which i'm calling WELCOME screen) it stuck.
Have you done a factory reset in recovery mode, after flashing the rom via odin?

The main problem i was facing is that after flashing custom rom there was null imei and UNKNOWN baseband version. Then i install hyper rom but didn't helped. Then i install omni 4.4 rom but didn't help. Then i flashed N4Elite rom but stuck on welcome screen... Then i download official firmware but still stuck at welcome screen.

I've searched about country code. On a xda forum i found that south africa, pakistan, algeria, oman, kuwait etc have same code. I think South African based (vodafone) will be suitable. Although my uncle sent this i9305 from south africa.
Maybe you can find some help in the S3 African thread or ask there?

In i9305 section I haven't found much infos, if I search for south africa and/or pakistan.
Otherwise I would try an other samsung stock version, and than its try and error. In i9305 section is also a thread with several modems, there you can also download and try different possibilities.
Edit just to make clear: modems for the i9300 won't work with the i9305
Edit2: there are 2 vodafone versions for South Africa on sammobile.....see attached

I'm downloading 4.3 (first one-XFV)... I'll let you know about this new stock rom.
I tried to flash stock rom(soith african) via odin but couldn't flash. Odin is giving red error FAILED!.... I tried the same file which i flashed 3 days ago, at that time it was successful but today it's getting failed. Why is it so?
Help!!!
Post the Odin log so we can see the exact error.
If you can still access download mode you need to flash the latest stock i9305 firmware. Stock firmware is the only way.
**The biggest tip I can give you is to flash the stock firmware, boot to recovery, factory reset, flash stock firmware AGAIN. This makes sure any old remnants are obliterated from memory, forcing all partitions to be reflashed. **
If you cannot access download mode then you will have to try the kies method. Don't hold your breath as you can still be sorely disappointed. It will be nothing short of a miracle if we get this phone booted ever again.
Good luck!.
Thank you all guys.
Bisically i was facing two issues at a time.1:Stuck on Welcome screen. 2:Null imei/unknown baseband versiin. MY ISSUES ARE RESOLVED NOW and my phone is working fine. Here are those steps i performed:
1: Downloaded official firmware according to my region (south africa based for me).
2: This room contained sboot.bin file and odin was not able to flash this file and was giving error. So i just extracted whole .tar file(official firmware ****.tar). Deleted this SBOOT.BIN file and again packed all file (excluding sboot.bin) into .tar file.
3: Flashed this modified .tar via odin.
4: This time process was successful and no error in flashing.
5: On restart my phone was stuck on White samsung logo not the blue one. On research i found that PARAM.BIN file is missing which is responsible for all logos and images etc.
6: So i downloaded this file for my i9305. Extracted the .tar file again. Copy paste this PARAM.BIN in folder where i extracted files and after that packed all file in .tar file.
7: Flashed again via odin. Flash was successful as well as white samsung logo issue was resolved. But now phone stuck on Blue samsung logo (bootloop).
8: For bootloop issue, i put my phone in recovery mode using Home+Volume up+Power button simultaneously.
9: Performed Wipe Cache, Factory Reset and Restart.......... Et Voila ..... My phone is working fine now. No bootloop and this also resolved my NULL IMEI issue as well. :good:
