Hi guys,
Im having a difficult time finding out how i can get back to the nordic official samsung rom.
I have no idea what i should flash and if i need Odin or just use recovery..
So if there is a kind soul out there that can point me to the correct files, and explain it step by step, i will be forever gratefull!
Yes, I know there are some guides, and i have tried reading them.. But I dont want to **** this up, as I need the phone tomorrow for work :/
So, please, if you can help me, i will be very gratefull
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S2
Country: Norway
Check the model under the battery.
Go to sammobile.com and get your ROM for your region.
Or use checkfus downloader and get the ROM for Norway.
Also mind you, You can flash any region ROM for i9100 in your phone.

Ok i now have the rom from Sammobile and Odin with a Pit file.
I must then go to download mode on phone, and what settings should i have when i now flash?
Should i use the PIT file?
The guide from sammobile was just a repair guide, didnt help me at all..
I have I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXXLPD_NEE.zip.
I have Odin.
What now?
Whatever you do, don't use the PIT file.

Ok..
But what do i need to do then?
I have the I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXXLPD_NEE.zip (should i extract it?).
And Odin ready.
Do I need more files?
Follow the flashing guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Chris.
No don't use pit, don't know how you get that.
Just extract the zip file you will get tar.md5, put it in pda under Odin.
Also the file you got is ics, just to let you know, if that matters.
So this is how i understand it after reading alot.
1. Unzip the I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXXLPD_NEE.zip
2. Open Odin 1.83
3. Choose the unzipped file I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXXLPD_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5 as PDA.
4. Flash without ticking ANY of the options in Odin.
5. Sucess??
Can someone PLEASE confirm?
Already linked above the guide
See exactly what to check what to uncheck

Hi There!
I have a fault with my newly rooted phone (Just rooted no custom Firmware as yet). Need to return it.
I have untriangled but I understand I need to reflash my device. My phone says it's this:
I9300XXALE8 so where can I find this to download and reapply? What is the method for application of the stock firmware?
Thanks very much!
I was able to get the exact firmware I needed from:
http://fus.nanzen.se/
It's discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032437
I used odin to flash it - it went perfect.

Hi There!
Thank you. Once I download the correct file, which appears to be a zip file, what do I enter into odin?
Will this remove CWM?
Sorry for the dumb questions.
I extracted the zip and got 2 files. One is a dll that you can ignore, the other is an md5 file. In odin I put that in under PDA and left the other check boxes alone - I did not repartition.
Yes, it wiped CWM and restored the factory recovery.
I am trying to download but it won't let me I am not sure why it keeps giving CRC errors. BY chance do you have an alternative source for this file?
Here is what I can see.

Any assistance gratefully accepted.
Sorry -
I don't know. The only other place I look for firmwares is:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9300&r=-1#modelsa
There is an email address on that check fus website if you want to reach out to them.
Qus .if u have not insl custom firmware then y to flash ? Just reseting binary cont will do na ? For warrenty purpose?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Does anyone know of an alternative site apart from sammobile to download stock firmwares?
Have been getting errors every time I hit download.
Thanks
Often times here, if there is a forum for your device. You should mention your model number so we can point you in the right direction, if possible.
Yes here go and check this out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
it will detect your device and download the latest firmware. If it does not detect device you can manually specify it

I've downloaded the app (thank you very much) but i cant seem to find out my region. My CSC is J500MCHV1APC2.
And how can one find out how to decipher this code to determine their region?
Region is ZTO - Brazil
http://d-h.st/RbDZ
Slightly older firmware. Same android version, 5.1.1, just a few months older. That is the only faster download I've found. All others are from sammobile, rapidgator, etc that are super slow. Even though it's not the latest, it should still get you out of trouble if you soft brick it.

Success..............Thank you for your support
I have another question, it is possible to install app on on my memory card my SM-J500M without rooting?
And how do you root the SM-J500M?
I've tried with odin but it always fails due to "FRP Lock".
Is it possible to root this device?

For some phones, you can move part of the app to the SD card in Settings > Applications.
Root - https://download.chainfire.eu/819/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-j5lte-j5lteub-smj500m.zip unzip and flash in Odin (run in Admin mode) in the PDA or AP slot, depending on which version of Odin you have.
FRP lock means that you need to enable OEM Unlocking in the Developer Options. Have to click on the Build Number 7 times and that option will appear in Settings.

You're quite welcome. Good luck!
I have a Galaxy S7 standard. This afternoon, I got a notification that an automatic update could not be installed properly. The phone rebooted and it got stuck on the Samsung title forever. I managed to force-reboot it a couple time but it kept stalling on the Samsung title.
I tried to boot the safe mode, without success. I then managed to boot the recovery mode and tried what was suggested on android forums by users who had similar problems, and I flushed the memory cache from the recovery mode menu. This is where it got worse. I read many articles by users who managed to root their phones back to the original firmware throught Odin and saved their data doing so.
So I downloaded the firmware for my region and my service provider from sammobile and ran the installation though Odin 3.12.5. The installation almost went through and crashed at the Cache step (near 99% completion), with the error (Custom binary(SYSTEM) blocked by FRP Lock) written on my phone on top of the (An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software).
Now I cant get my phone to boot the recovery mode. I can't even shut it down. It will only reboot and go straight to the error page. Smart Switch PC won't recognize the phone so I can't recover it from there. Can anyone help me solve this? Given where I'm at, I wouldn't mind a way to reset it to factory default and lose my stuff.
Thanks in advance.

So , to help you I need information of your phone :
1. What is full model of your device ?
2. It is based on Qualcomm or Exynos CPU?
3. Does Odin still recognise your device ?

1. SM-G930W8
2. How do I find this information? Quick googling makes me believe it is Exynos because I bought it in Canada for the Telus network, but I can't confirm anything since I can't boot it.
3. Yes it does. I can retry the installation, but it fails at the same step over and over.
Okay , so download this file in order to disable FRP lock , use Odin click on "AP" so after that you can restore normaly back to Stock Firmware with Odin or Smart Switch .

Tried this. It processes the installation and fails near the end. This time it is Custom binary (userdata) blocked by FRP lock
added : I used only AP when trying this. No BL, CP or CSC.
So then is problem on your Firmware , go to sammobile and download latest Version of Firmware for your device and your Region .
So that error Custom Recovery is probably problem because you flash your device with old Firmware version 6.0 and that way cannot Flash your Firmware because Firmware Signature.

I do have the version from 2017-08-31 which says version 7.0 (see https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930W8/TLS/)
There is a newer version dated 2017-11-30 but the sammobile website for some reason has a broken link, or restricts downloading if you're not a premium member, which I'm not. If you can provide me with an alternative link to download the latest one, I'll give it a go. But both seem to be version 7.0
Added : Nevermind the broken link, Sammobile site has issues and their forum helped me solve it. I'll try installing the newest firmware when it is downloaded

Well... basically it would cost me more to repair it than what it would be worth. Financially, my best option is to buy a new phone :crying:
This means, I can try new tricks to try to fix it. I'm open to hear any ideas you guys have. Is there a way to force shotdown the phone to get out of the ''Download update'' menu which I'm stuck in? And then, is there a way to reach the recovery mode to do a factory reset? Would that work?
Dude , why you give up ? Just keep trying
Try with this Firmware now :

Hello there!
I installed TWRP recovery mode on my phone in order to root it, I watched a very goog tutorial (
) on how to do it. After installing Magisk, my Galaxy J6 is stuck at logo bootloop, I uninstalled Magisk but it did not help. I tried to wipe data, format and everything from TWRP, but it did not work.
How do I fix my phone??

You can access download mode?
Then I recommend to restart from scratch by using Odin to flash latest Stock ROM (get it via samfirm_reborn).

Don't understand your question.
You wrote you've wiped already and it didn't help.
In download mode USB-debugging doesn't work anyway.
As system is wiped it can't work imo.

Please bear with me, I know I am aksing to much
@mahaci7363 use samfirm to download stock ROM from Samsungs servers.
Check "binary nature"
Unzip the file you'll get into 4 o 5 different files (AP, BL, CSC aso)
Start Odin and insert the files appropriately.

@bmwdroid Thank you so much! Then all I have to do is start Odin and wait for the installation (I believe I should be in download mode). Can I use Sammobile? (Found a firmware for Nordic countries - this is where I live) In Samfirms I did not find a version for Nordic countries.
I really appreciate your help! Thanks mate!

Download mode is necessary for using Odin.
Sammobile can be used as well, but sometimes it only gives you a one part file which might not help as much as the multiple part files you'd get using samfirm.
Which region code did you try there? NEE?

Device type SM-J600F ?
Never happened for my eight devices that samfirm didn't find the stock ROM.
One part file has to be put in AP on Odin.
@mahaci7363 you seem to be right.
Just tried myself and with J600F I couldn't find any.
That's peculiar.
So you have to rely on sammobile.

My device type is SM-J600FN, but it is okay, I can download the SM-J600F version.
Isn't CSC the same as the build number?? In that case, I copied it before damaging my phone: J600FXXUACVC2.
I found a firmware version for J600FXXUACVC2 but its region is Iraq, which is really strange, since I live in Sweden and bought the phone from Sweden. Unfortunately I did not manage to find the CSC code, in downloading mode I don't see information about my device, I only see this: (check the image).
Can't I just choose the version Nordic countries or is it going to damage my phone more?? In that case, I can download the Iraq version which has the same build number as my J6

@bmwdroid the downloading instructions on sammobile:
Add the firmware files to their designated slots (AP in AP, BL in BL,
CP in CP, HOME_CSC in CSC). Do not tick any extra boxes. The only
options to be ticked are F. Reset Time and Auto-Reboot.
What is meant with the option F? I don't find any options in Odin.
