Hey guys so I think I screwed up. I was updating to lollipop stock firmware for the galaxy grand prime (g530h/ds) using odin and I forgot to enable usb debugging before starting the process. It all went well and odin gave me a 'PASSED' message but now the phone doesnt show anything after the samsung boot screen (Which shows the name of the phone and "powered by android" beneath). Also, by 'the display not showing anything', I mean that the display doesnt entirely go black, there are faded vertical bars (initially the is screen dark with faint white edges on all sides) and i can see a very faint shadow of the Android logo and a 'Downloading' caption underneath it (sometimes, not always). Also, the screen fades in and out after a few seconds. Bricked or nah? I cant get into recovery but I can still get into Download mode.
This was the firmware I installed:
G530HXXU2BOH5_G530HSER2BOH5_SER (russian) from samfirmware
and then after all this happened, I retried with this firmware but the same thing happened:
G530HXXU2BOH7_G530HODD2BOH3_INS (indian)
then after digging around on google I realized that you have to install the firmware that matches your region (csc, baseband and all that stuff I did not even understand). Now how do i tell what is the basedband, csc or whatever of my phone so that I can download the proper firmware version? Or am i screwed here? (i know i'm not well versed in the technicalities of rooting and I realize it was my mistake to not properly do research before manually installing firmware, so it would be nice if i get a positive feedback)
I am from Nepal. How long do you think will It take for me to get official update?

Hay @ibrahim95: I too have something same like your problem but mine is more complex as i can't boot into download mode. And ODIN also shown PASSED massage and as did with some other samsung devices the process was like OK, but it really didn't pass and dead now.
I flashed this firmware G530HXXU2BOH7_G530HODD2BOH3_G530HXXU2BOH5_HOME.tar.md5
your experience with Grand Prime may help me, if you would like to.
I have not download mode to flash something else, neither i have recovery mode.
The screen is black with a little dim light, which indeed shows that the phone is not totally dead, I think it can be called hard brick.
Same problem with my g530fz. Any solution?

hay @MikeChannon: Thanks for creating such great forum, mostly for the Galaxy Grand Prime devices.
I have a problem with a apparently Grand Prime G530H Dous, But i highly doubt it has something else inside the casing, I mean may be this devices has been tweaked to work with other networks, OR simply it is a device from like India, Russia or China, and has been installed with a firmware that could work here in Pakistan.
And my bad luck, that i downloaded the INDIAN (G530HXXU2BOH7_G530HODD2BOH3_INS) version or lollipop to upgrade it to 5.0.2 and that screwed my device. Now it only has a light black screen, NO Download Mode, No recovery, No boot loops, Nothing at all.
Please help me.

So, guys finally I've got my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime G530H Duos running again.
I did something some people have been saying here and there but we might didn't believe them, I want to say that they were right by saying that. But the important thing is that they didn't say it well.
These kind of unbelievable things must be explained in detail. So here I am trying to make it a little detailed in plain words so that everybody may understand it.
1. I started the Odin 3.07 and connected my device to see if it was detected or not, to my surprise, Odin catch it, and shown added and the port number was 18.
2. I just pulled out the USB cable from my laptop and loaded the BL file only to just flash the bootloader file and see what would happen, I was trying it bcz I was totally disappointed with the device i.e. Grand Prime 530H Duos. I also noticed that my device was not stable even with that black screen it used to restart after almost five minutes in that case. And I knew that in 5 minute I will just be able to flash BL file. The BL file was loaded on the Odin now and I inserted the USB cable again while keeping the vol down + home key pressed, to my laptop when the Odin again found and connected with my device, I didnot take any more time to flash BL file.
3. As soon as i had not flashed all the SW therefore, my device didn't boot properly, and I thought it didn't work but when my device was connected to the computer I just listened the startup tone of the Android 4.4.4. or the device. From that moment I knew my device was not dead now so i pullup the battery, put it again inside to check its status, did this almost thrice, but still the same black screen, yet i heard the startup sound everytime. Now as far as knew the phone is on but showing nothing, I had to select all four files from the recovery firmware of 4.4.4 and connect the device to odin even there was no sign of download mode, as soon i clicked the Start button i saw many things in the Odin bar which were good enough to see. after the firmware flashed the device got started.
Please press thanks button if I helped you anyway.

Hi,
I have been rooting my note 4 since it came out and familiar with any problems that may occur with kernels and stuff...
I decided to sell my phone and put it towards an S8 when i t comes out, i am sending my phone to Mazuma Mobile but wanted to unroot it first but the stock firmwares i am flashing though Odin are stuck on the Samsung start up screen.
I am not sure about unrooting and need some help, the latest firmware i have tried is "BTU-N910FXXU1BOC5-20150423120804" - i have the N910F model but it wont load beyond the Samsung bootup screen.
Anybody give me some help please and maybe point me to the correct firmware that i should be using?
Appreciate any help.
Thank you.
Think i need to use the latest firmware - N910FXXS1DQC3
Can someone point me to somewhere i can download this please?
Every link i check asks me to buy an upgrade account to down load this firmware.
Cheers
Greetings pals i have a really big question, i got a S7 Edge from AT&T (SM-G935A) but i cant update to nougat so i flash the unlocked (SM-G935U) firmware to get Nougat so i just wanna go back to AT&T but i cant via odin i downloaded a lot of firmwares labeled to 935A but when i try to flasg via odin it stucks at File analysis and thats it, also i tried with another (older) version of odin and it gives me a soft brick the main cause i want to go back to AT&T its because i want to try Oreo Beta but im stuck
Any help would be appreciated and if something its wrong with this let me know
My Samsung galaxy s7 edge (G935F) Is stuck in a boot loop and doesn't have an OS installed. Bit unsure what to do. I have tried installing a stock rom and for some reason when I try to copy a zip file to team win TWRP,(and I have MTP enabled) my laptop says this device has either stopped or isn't taking files? Anyone with any ideas please respond and don't tell me try take it to Samsung and ask for a fix cuz I tried that and they said we don't fix rooted stuff. I took it to a phone shop once and they said try flashing a custom rom with Odin. Reply here with any ideas! Thanks!
hey and welcome to xda!
the best and easyiest way is to start new - flash your firmware with ODIN - that will work in every situation!
You need to download stock firmware and start afresh. Stock firmware is the image of the official firmware that came (or updated officially) with your device.
Go to Sammobile and select model number and then your country. Since you didn't mention your country, here's the link that will directly land you to your G935F firmwares: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935F/
Once you select country, you can read instructions on how to flash the image with Odin (link is also provided there).
Hope this helps Please feel free to ask any query. Happy Flashing!

Hello everyone. I'm new here. I wanted to know if I can change my S7 edge (exynos) sm-g935fd firmware from UAE to India. I am currently on Oreo G935FXXS8ETCA Xsg which has bootloader 8 if I'm not wrong, but I want to install ins firmware G935FODD7ETA1 also Oreo which has bootloader 7 . Is this switch possible?
P.s. I want to change firmware bcoz I am not getting volte on my phone. I've tried a few things without any luck. And the only solution seems to be to change my CSC. Any help will be appreciated.

As far as I know you can't downgrade due to antirollback protection. I don't imagine switching firmwares would work very well at all

It not a rollback technically it's more of a sideways move but I might be wrong. Is it because of the older bootloader on the firmware I want to switch to?
Thanks for the reply.

If you attempt to switch your bootloader to an older version it can cause a hard brick putting the device into EDL mode but I do believe you can switch the system a bit
So there is no way to change the firmware? Is there any way I can get volte

You should be able to swap the system partition and CSC to something else as long as your not in any kind of Android Verified Boot
I don't know what that is. But I've only been using stock ROMs from ota updates. My phone isn't rooted either. I just want to activate volte on my phone. I would really appreciate if you could help me.
Btw thanks for the prompt replies.

You're absolutely welcome! I'll have a search around Google and maybe point you into the right direction. I'm sure there is a flashable firmware for Odin (combo-firmware) that enables this
EDIT:
Because your on an International chipset (Exynos) you can actually flash a custom OS which supports the Volte. Just ensure you've taken the steps to unlock the bootloader through the developer options in settings (enable OEM unlock)
Don't unlock your bootloader and dont root your phone
if something goes wrong the EFS patition will corrupt and you are on U8
U7 combination firmware is not available and we dont know when will it will be available
you have to download U8 rom and flash home csc from U7 INS (latest software available for India)
it will enable Volte on your phone
make sure to tick nand erase when flashing Autoboot and f.reset time

Unlocking and root have nothing to do with the EFS partition. Sounds like you may have did something like modifying it and caused data to be corrupt and you never kept a backup.

once i root my device then after monts i decided to go back on stock
then after some monts i decided to try NFE 9.0 Black Diamond after that i get many errors and made a mistake
6 monts before i didn't know things now i know things like bl and opening and booting phone wihtout bl and many more
its the easiest method to get INS VOLTE on UAE Exynos Model
My phone is running smooth but efs is corrupted that makes S/N No. none and no network
Phone is dead from march
Lets hope for U7 and U8 combination firmware
Thanks for the help. Really
Volte used to work before the Oreo update. And won't a custom ROM trip my Knox? (I use secure folder). I recently tried to flash a stock ROM with modified CSC file to get volte working on my S6 g920f. But it didn't work. It tripped my Knox and now my short codes don't work and CSC shows blank. Calls work though. But no volte.

You can wait for the INDIAN U8 STock and then flash it on your device with Home CSC which will surely enable volte
Remember With Nanderase f.reset time and auto reboot
Don't trip your knox i regret it!!
I would wait too if you trip Knox with a warranty then your SOL. If your lucky you won't be it's best to wait for the firmware
Well I am waiting till there is a stock firmware. But I don't think there will be an official update seeing as it's an old model phone and the official software support is only 2 or 3 years from the company. So fingers crossed. I might flash the ins version and try to make it work if I get a new phone and my S7 will become a spare.
And thanks for the help guys ?.
Now I'm thinking of flashing a custom ROM on my S6. Let's see ....
