I created a step-by-step guide video to unroot/unbrick the Galaxy S6!
Grab all the files and other needed information here: http://www.androidrootz.com/2015/05/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge.html
I was instaled official XEF 6.0.1 on my rooted device S6 edge. But after pass on odin and after reboot on screen information some about drk , check drk. A found solution for that some file must flashing with odin and I was doing that. After instal and reboot phon was booting i working butt still is rooted. I cant check for official update a when i power on my phone in left court is message kernel is not Seandroid enforcing.
How to solve that problem and have unrooted phone?
HELPPPP i cant unroot s6 edge
So i bought a rooted(with odin) s6 edge from a guy. It is lollipop and i want to update it to marshmallow via ota. My settings show that the model is G925f. And baseband g925fxxu3coi9. But the phone info tells me it is g925p which is usa sprint and gives a different baseband g925pvpu3bol1 and download mode also shows g925p. G925f is international. Atleast i think so. I downloaded my country(pakistan's) 3 firmwares and 1 of uk too of g925f. I also downloaded sprint usa firmware. I have tried flashing all of these through odin. All give fails. I got three types of fails: serial com port error, NAND write start fail on my country and uk firmware and that device 3 binary 2 fail on sprint firmware.
Please help me what should i do? Should i get the motherboard replaced?

I have AT&T variant and could only find my latest firmware on galaxys6edgeupdate website.
Fantastic, sir! I had this baby rooted and the screen cracked. Boo!! But I followed these instructions and I'm back to stock. New phone, here we come! Thanks!
Guys please i need the stock boot img for 920v on nougat. I tried rooting it and in the process.. changed my boot img. Rooting was unsuccessful though. But i have annoying knox notifications now and lags here and there. I want to use odin to reflash the stock boot img. Im new here. Didnt really know where to post this

Hello everyone! I am new and a noob here. I have upgraded to a 5.1.1 Lollipop firmware. My phone was still carrier locked so I started looking up threads on the internet on how to unlock it for free, and came across a kingroot then region unlock solution. I used kingroot then downloaded supersu and installed that. After it finished installing, it said a reboot was necessary so I rebooted. Upon rebooting it said custom in the bootlogo then popped up with a big triangle that said Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support.
After much tinkering with installing Odin and downloading firmwares, I am still in the same boat. I believe this may be because I (stupidly) enabled reactivation lock because it sounded helpful in case my phone was stolen. This is now locking the firmware down and every time I try to install a stock firmware (4.4.4 or 5.0.2 as these are the only ones available on Sammobile for the SM-G530H) it says r/l enabled cannot install kernel without r/l or something to that effect. That is why I think the reactivation lock is messing me up. It also doesn't help that I upgraded to 5.1.1, as I believe that makes it harder to install a stock firmware, especially an older one.
Thanks for reading and if anyone knows anything that can help, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you.
bumpity bump bump..
anybody?
this is what happens when you try to replace king user/king root with supersu. same thing happened to me, totally bricked. And I didn't backup first
Never found a way to restore it, so I sent it to samsung and got another one, backed it up, and did king root, and manually switched to supersu.

how did you send it to them and they fix it? i figure they wouldn't help because it was a user error in which you tried to flash which voids warranty or whatever /:
I fixed these phone all day for the same exact problem. Call me 347-210-8466 and I will tell you where to ship the phone and have it repair and shipped back to you in 24hr. For only $45.00 return ship is free.
No need to pay to get phone fixed. Follow this post. Somewhere along the flash, it will display message that kies is not compatible with phone, click ok and it will finish flashing. I just did this yesterday on my son's phone.

Hey, I have the G530AZ my phone works normally with a few exceptions. I can NOT update SuperSU I have a Custom Status due to Rooting with Odin with G530H. I used an app and now when I reboot or power my phone on I have to reboot a 2nd time from the recovery screen. If I plug my phone in it powers up and the same thing happens if I update using Kies3 in the mentioned post will it work and be okay?

I'm thinking your issue is with the kernel not recognizing the firmware. You need to flash the original kernel for the G530AZ.

The procedure I posted above will flash your phone back to pure stock, like it would be out of the box. Only thing would be, that it flashes the most current update. When I got the phone, it was already on 5.1.1 and this is what Kies downloaded and flashed.

Yes, comprehensive instructions would be good to have, which files go in what slots in Odin. I have used Odin before, but with a single file. Been so long since I have used it though.

I believe the problem is that people are flashing firmwares for the incorrect model. If I am understanding correctly, this is a thread for the Cricket Wireless version of the Grand Prime, model SM-G530AZ. If you are flashing firmwares for the 530H, you are bound to have problems.
Here is a link for both the KitKat and Lollipop stock firmwares for the G530AZ. Hope it helps.

Hi guys, I'm out of USA.
After many failed attempts still can not debrand my AT&T SM-G950U.

But can not find any unlocked firmware (XAA) to my S8, only for S8+.
Any idea where to find it?
Thanks.

Not searching very hard then. Update.com and search firmwares for G950U1. You'll see the latest XAA listed.
Works great (Minus volte and wifi calling), I've been running it myself
Thanks joe3681 for you answer.
Firmware downloaded from sammobile (G950U1UEU1AQE3_G950U1OYM1AQE3_XAA)
But i got the following error when try to install it: FAIL! Model dismatch fail
Sounds like it's not correct fw then.

Hi Guys, I'm in the same case as the OP, and I have always updated via Odin using Sammobile's firmware, which only includes the AP file. I already downloaded the modded Odin and firmware from joe's post, but it includes a lot more files.
Should I load all the files to Odin? or just flashing the AP file would be OK? Thank you very much in advance!

From what it looks they are having issues between the to bootloader's. Your answer may come in the 892 partcyborg root thread.
Hey Guys, sorry to be opening another new thread for this, but trust me, i searched all over XDA and other places, but could not find a single link from where i can download the stock firmware for my S7E india version. Of course i can download it from the sammobile which is horrifically slow. I still managed to download it over night last nigh, but after flashing my phone still boots up with the S8+ logo which is weird. It could be because the flashing might have not happened properly. So, if someone could please give a gdrive link or some other fast link to download the stock firmware, it would be of a great help!!! Thanks in advance.
Facing the same problem...
Any help appreciated...
If it's just the S8 BOOT logo that's hindering you, just flash the latest bootloader..

In about info phone model is : SM-N900S
The real model # can be found by putting the phone into download mode.

In that case SM-N900S
I recommend flashing the latest stock ROM for the sm-n900s with Odin.
The printed model # sm-n9005 is on the label under the battery?

yes ..
these are the ones i found
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N900S/
and only one works on it ..which is the one on the phone right now and it keeps rebooting .. i would like any nougat installed on this now.
Thanx
If the label under the battery says sm-n9005 and download mode says sm-n900s, it appears that you have a "frankenphone" whereby the phone is put together with different parts from different models of the Note 3.
Is this the ROM you tried to flash: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N900S/SKT/download/N900SKSU0GPI1/98062/ ?
Did you perform a factory reset after flashing the phone but before booting the phone for the first time?

If everything works on a stock ROM, you try flashing TWRP using Odin. This will allow you to backup the existing ROM and flash a custom ROM.
So stock 205U stuck in download mode. This all happened after taking an offered update. Anyway to use odin to bring this back with stock firmware?

Yes Odin should work
Download the official firmware from the sites mentioned here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80021195&postcount=4
Break it up into its bits
Use Odin to flash it into each slot

Go to settings, about phone, software, baseband.
Find one to match the baseband.
My number has U2.
That part is most important

Take it back to the retailer
They can send it off to Samsung and they can fix it.

Thanks. Thats what im going to do. Was only hoping for a faster fix.
I just got it back from samsung and they said it is reparable and that the cause was rooting the phone. Thing is I never did. It only took a bad OTA

The 205u can't be rooted.
They should have known that.

My thoughts too. Odin mode even says WARRANTY VOID : 0 (0x0000)
So I assume that should be good.
I notice it does say CURRENT BINARY : Custom (0x0)
I guess because they think there is a custom ROM on it that it was rooted.
I was hoping to use ODIN to load stock everything onto it to make it work but I am not sure if that would work.

I can not do that because it only allows me to enter dowload mode and hard reset, but I tried installing the stock rom of android 10, android 9 and it still remains in the same samsung logo ..
Does anyone know if modifying any rom file can avoid the samsung logo ??

These files even installed on Verizon I don't get it .
Did you format data after installing? You have to start from square one or your phone is gonna go completely bonkers.
Instalacion y borrado android 10!
yes, erase the data for a clean restart but when it starts it remains in the logo and restarts over and over again every 5 minutes.
