Failed at modem.bin when flashing 6.0.1 stock firmware - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Howdy! Please help me newbie with this problem. Mine is SM-G928F, its region is DBT, which is Germany. My current firmware is 5.1.1. As I haven't received Marshmallow update OTA, as well as when I checked for update in Smart Switch, I decided to use SamFirm and download the suitable 6.0.1 firmware for my Region. And then I used Odin to flash it, with Kies uninstalled, Samsung drivers up-to-date and so on according to the instruction I've read. Now what I have is a fancy brick with the Samsung brand on it ( I can still get into download mode. What should I do now?

Hey, you may try another firmware or follow the procedure(in the video) to avoid that failure. Exclude modem.bin from firmware and find the another one which fits F variant then flash it after firmware..

I will download what's out and start posting them :good:
When you download the file is a ZIP. I think I must decompress it in order to get the tar.md5 , right?
Which option must I select in Odin? AP with only REboot and Factory reset?
thanks!

I understand that these are stock roms, curious if non-stock roms like CM12 and similar will ever make their way over? My OR rom is awesome, I'm just one of those fools that's constantly customizing for the fun of it.

Flash at your own risk.
Hello
Rooting my device voids the warranty, but if I have any problems with my device and need support ... Can I flash the stock ROM and take it to customer support?
Without them finding out?

No. You can reinstall stock ROM and have the tablet working as before, but after installing anything custom the efuse will be blown. This means that it can always be detected that custom firmware/kernels/recovery/root/etc have at one point been installed. It also means security containers like Knox will refuse to operate.
I tried out the October (J) release for T815 which has been released for DBT (Germany) and a few other places. (link here). PDA version: T815XXU2AOJ4. Included CSCs: BTU (UK), DBT (Germany), ITV (Italy), XEF (France), XEO (Poland). Android 5.0.2. Previously I had the latest release for PHN (Netherlands), which is still T815XXU1AOG9.
Stagefright bug fixed according to Lookout. Not fixed according to Trustable.
New app icons
Still no multi-user
For DBT, there are four German bloatware apps included. All four can be uninstalled without root.
No Camera2 API
Dialer doesn't accept the secret codes like *#06#, *#0*#, *#1234#
Weird display behaviour (flashing, freezing) at very low battery percentages
Warning: you can not fully downgrade from this version "2" firmware to the version "1" firmwares we had until now! You can partially downgrade if you leave the bootloader and the modem as is (so downgrade only PDA and CSC).
This is great. Any chance that someone has the Stock ROM for the SM-T817V? Or does the firmware for the T815 work on this device?
The October T815XXU2AOJ4 version is now also out for T815 in the Netherlands (PHN), which is bloatfree. No other CSCs included. Link here. The dialer accepts the secret codes like "*#1234#" again. Otherwise the experience is the same. Again, you can't downgrade from this version.
Can the 5.1.1 update be flashed on any SM-T810?
I purchased one in Australia and when I tried to follow the instructions and flash with ODIN I get an error SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE when using 5.1.1_T810XXU1BOH7_T810XAR1BOH7_XAR.zip
I had and un-rooted device, which just received an update (11/03) to version LMY47X.T710XXU2BOJ1. I ended up rooting and flashing TWRP on it, but I'm having an issue writing to my external SD card. Is there something I can flash to fix this?
Thanks
edit: Google was my friend - manually updated platform.xml.

The T810XXU1BOH7 firmware is very old (H = August I think). Apparently for your device it constitutes a downgrade, which it doesn't allow. Download the most recent firmware to flash. If e.g. you currently have firmware with a "2A" (5.0.2) on your device, you can't flash this "1B" (5.1.1) firmware even though it seems like an upgrade of android, because it is a downgrade of the bootloader. Download firmware with "2B" (5.1.1) in the name and I think it may work.
I don't have the T810, but T815 which is still stuck at 5.0.2...
Is it possible to flash a T710 firmware onto a T715 device? I don't need LTE at all so I don't mind losing it (I have no SIM). I just want to get faster updates because I need multi-user support from 5.1.1.

Thanks! Thats really handy to know. I'll give XAC-T810XXU2BOJ1 a shot and see how that goes.

OTA android 7 update for g935fd not working

Hey guys,
The OTA update for android 7 has come up in my s7 edge duos. I have tried downloading it twice........it gets to 100% and says there an error and that it's the wrong version.
Not sure what to do.........any ideas
Download and flash the rom through odin.
Did you ever flash a different rom? Which brand is respectively CSC has your phone?
Never flashed another rom........bought the phone off amazon.com............it's zn international version, but looks like the supplier got them from UAE.

the supplier may have gotten from UAE but the csc may not be from there.
you can try downloading the Rom from samfirmware and flashing that way.
Thanx for the reply guys, how can I find out the CSC on the phone? Also if I flash with odin, Will that erase all the data on the phone? And will it trip the knox?
Why is it that the update doesn't work? How come the software on my phone doesn't match the update it's downloading? Is it something the supplier/seller has done to the phone? Like modify the software?
Thanx guys
Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ and you get all necessary information.
If you flash with Odin Know won't be triggered. You can keep your data with the three following requirements:
- The firmware you flash must have the CSC included you use at the moment.
- You need to use HOME_CSC file instead of CSC file.
- You may not tick re-partition.
Keep in mind to only flash firmwares designed for the Exynos variant.
Sellers on Amazon sometimes get phones from a different market and flash then a firmware fitting your market. This is rather a replacement than a modification (since the whole system is still official) and Knox is not triggered. However, one effect is that OTA may not work or gives "phantom" update notices. There's no restriction aside of that and you can just use Odin to remain updated.
You can post screens from all pages of the app I mentioned and we can see what's going on.
Hey Andiling, really appreciate your help pal. Here are some pictures you requested. Thank you

Samsung Galaxy S8 G950W (PIE Update)

I have Samsung Galaxy S8 G950W having Android 7.0 with Samsung Experience 8.1 and Baseband Version G950WVLS2ARA1. I intend to update it to 9.0. Where can I find its official update through Odin installation? I'm not in the region to find OTA.
Thanks
Use updato.com. You can use SamMobile but it takes years without a premium account. HOWEVER YOU CAN'T FLASH THE NEWEST SOFTWARE IF THE PHONE IS WAY BEHIND..... EITHER FLASH THE FIRMWARE BUT THAT ALLOWS OTA UPDATES OR FLASH EVERY FIRMWARE ONE BY ONE. I hope this helped:laugh:
I have found G950WVLU5CSD5_G950WOYA5CSD5_VMC and downloaded. But am not yet sure about the right firmware. Is there any way to get it confirmed?

As long u are searching for correct model of your phone u are good to go
U can use sammobile,updato.com, samfrew.com to download firmware for your model ( there is even samfirm pc app to download firmware at full speed)
Also u can flash pie or any other release without needing to install one by one firmware as suggested above.
Good to go. Trying...

Samsung Galaxy S8 Firmware

Hello, I just bought my S8 online and after going for a factory reset, I got this error "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed". I just found out that this phone was rooted and one way to fix is to download this specific firmware and install it via ODIN. Is there anyone here who can mirror this firmware (SM-G950FD Philippines XTC) for me? I tried to look for other ways to download it free and fast but sammobile and updato take lots of time to download. :/
Help pls. Thanks!
Try https://updato.com/

SamFirm does not load any info for an ATT S8+ / Does not show "USA" Region option. What do I do?

I hate ATT. I hope their stupid company dies soon.
Anyway, I'm trying to flash my ATT S8+ that is running Android 7.0 with Android Pie. I first attempted to use Frija and it said that the ATT "CSC code not supported". I then tried SamFirm and when I input the phone model SM-G955U, it doesn't show the "United States" Region option.
Ideally, I would like to flash my phone with an unbranded Android Pie. What do I do?
UPDATE: I am able to find many different firmware files on SamFrew. However, I still need to know if I can flash an unbranded XAA file from there?
Will it work? And do I need a modded version of Odin to flash? I came across some guy's youtube tutorial that says only to use a modded Odin to flash unbranded firmware on an ATT Samsung phone, but unfortunately his video is from three years ago and so I'm not sure if the modded Odin he's linked to will be compatible and be able to flash the much recent released firmware updates.
UPDATE: Issue resolved. I went ahead and flashed it and it worked.
