I rooted my phone about six months ago so I could have super user permissions. Today, I decided I wanted to try to install cyanogenmod.
After following the instructions to install CM and repeatedly failing (with no apparent harm to the phone), I thought the issue might be that I hadn't unlocked the bootloader. I tried to install TWRP using Odin, but apparently I had installed safestrap back when I rooted. I opened safestrap, attempted to install the packages listed on this post [http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver.../rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909], and my phone is now apparently/maybe softbricked. I tried to follow the un-bricking instructions on that same page, but I'm getting "fail" messages from Odin.
I do not know what I'm doing. I downloaded what I thought was the stock TAR for my US Verizon Galaxy S5, but it's giving me fail messages when I try to install it with Odin in the AP slot. Am I missing something? Do I need a Pit file or something else in the BL or CP slots? What am I missing?
I would really appreciate any help. I'm out of my league with this.
To add information, I'm getting an error message on my phone saying "[aboot] fused 2 > Binary 1 error" and even after googling that I'm not sure what the fix is.
I just want to get back to non-bricked. Even stock is acceptable.
Go to Sammobile. Com and download ok3 or PB1 firmware for s5 verizon and flash it in odin to your phone

Can anyone help?
I was rooted, but on original stock ROM. I tried to unroot using the option in the Super SU app, as a couple of essential apps I use wouldn't work with root. Having clicked the option, my note 4 has gone into a bootloop and I don't know how to recover it.
If I go into recovery I get a message saying "dm-verity verification failed". Any ideas?
I have the international (unlocked) SM-N910F, and I use a mac, so don't have odin. I have Kies installed and Hiemdall, but am really unsure as to what I'm doing with that software....
Thanks in advance!
Further to the last post, I've tried to use Odin 3.09 to flash the stock firmware for my model. I'm using it in Parallels, and it recognises the phone, but won't assign the .md5 file to the AP box to flash it. Not sure why?
I've also tried Heimdall on Mac, but it can't download the PIT file from the phone!
Has anyone got any solutions or workarounds they can suggest?
Thanks in advance....
Try installing stock on a pc then go to recovery and clear cache
I'm not a complete noob but somehow while trying to wipe my phone and re-install Jasmine ROM 5.X (I was already on Alliance ROM with NC4 before, installed Jasmine but somehow didn't actually wipe everything) the recovery got erased and nwt I get the wonderful Yellow Alert warning while booting saying the software is unauthorized and turn your phone off and go to Verizon.
I have tried using Odin 3.09 to install TWRP and then realized I used Safestrap a long time ago. At that point it was too late and everything I've tried flashing with Odin now Fails almost immediately after starting.
I last tried the stock N900VVRUCNC4_N900VVZWCNC4_N900VVRUCNC4_HOME.tar.md5 file and it failed as well.
I did read other threads but most just flashed the NC4 firmware and were fine.
Can anyone direct me to the actual files I need to get it running again? I really appreciate it.
No one? I still haven't found any working solutions.
All I can tell you is that when I got that "go to Verizon" message, I rebooted to download mode and then canceled out of it to reboot my phone to a working system.

Heya,
I have some trouble with rooting my Android phone. I thought that maybe you guys might be able to help me out. To explain what happened:
I had my phone with custom firmware and stuff, worked very well. Last saturday I got the idea to check if my recovery had updates. It did and by accident it started downloading and installing the same thing twice, yet it failed the second time. After that I was asked to reboot which I did. I basically screwed my phone up. After some struggling with firmwares I got my phone back on the stock Samsung firmware through Odin. I am now trying to root my device but without success... Can anybody help?
What methods I tried to get my phone rooted/update my phone:
Odin(Worked fine while updating my phone)
Heimdall Suite 1.4(says it has failed to download the PIT file)
Kies(Got an error when trying to update)
Kingo Root gave error 0x1F8232 (I tried both the PC and smarthphone versions.)
I can retry certain methods to get more inside info if you want. ^_^ If you guys have any input, it would be appreciated!
Did you try flashing twrp via Odin and then flashing supersu via twrp?
try CF_Auto root method

try CF-Auto root method. download tar file and copy to pc. get into download mode. connect via Odin. flash the tar file. boom!
I am trying to unroot my phone. I have a US version of G930A. Sammobile has every county except the USA. I found G930AATT1APB5_User_Binary.zip which has AP_G930AUCU1APB5_CL7193387_QB8719495_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar, the BL, CP and CSC file in it. I try to flash it using Odin3, and I get an "odin protocol version error." I take it because the image is a lower version that's what's on there. I would like to download the latest stock image but sammobile doesn't offer images for the US? Or is there a better way?
Wrong forum. This here is for SM-G930F Development, not Q&A. You'll get the answers you're seeking and more, at the S7 AT&T Q&A and Dev forums. Mod, please move - thanks.
Wrong forum. But try using Kies in Download mode
That is what i do when ever i restore my phone.
No Kies good lord. This isn't a Note 2.
You're getting that error because you're on newer firmware than you're trying to flash so it's erroring out.
Follow the Return to stock procedure in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...sed-unroot-t3411039/post67605246#post67605246
Flash all 4 files, then you'll be on PF2 and able to get the OTA Update to PG1 with wifi calling, etc.
I tried using kies. It asks me for my model. I put in SM-G930A. The serial I put in all caps and it tells me my model number I entered is wrong.

Which Odin are you using?
You're flashing the PF2?
I've tried many versions of Odin v1 (not the 3). I'm not sure what the PF2 is.
To get it to work, I just defaulted the phone and rerooted it. It's the only way I can get it to work. It's working perfect right now. Only question is how long,

for g930a (galaxy s7 at&t NOT EDGE)
WARNING: YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA MAKE A BACKUP
download these files:
Odin: http://www.mediafire.com/download/2t...din_3.12.3.rar
Flashing Files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B17...w?usp=drivesdk
After downloading extract the .rar extract it then extract each, BL, AP, ect... files. Use the odin included in the download to flash and you will be returned to stock. If the odin included still gives you the error you can get the princecomsey version and see if that works from here: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/tools/ODIN/ODIN-modified.zip
If odin freezes or crashes just restart it and try again, it might take a while foor the AP file to load into odin so just be patient and if it looks like it is about to crash wait about 2-3 minutes then force close it and try again.
Now you are returned to stock an all set !!
(p.s) - PF2 is the latest firmware as of now for the g930a, meaning when you flash this you will be all set. You may have tried to flash the original PF which is now outdated cause AT&T updated it, I did this and it worked but i could not update my phone so I flashed this one and it works perfectly and Samsung pay is up and running.
Hello I have galaxy s7 and I Have been rooting phones for some years. But I made a noob move and didn't go thru all the steps I forgot to make sure that "Secure startup" is off/disabled. So the root didn't go thru I disabled it but it still didn't work so I tried to odin to stock VZW_G930VVRU2APE1 but it said it failed and everytime I download the stock files WinRAR says archive is corrupted and the flash always fails. What can I do? Are there other places where I can get more stock firmware that isn't corrupted? Is that why the flash failed?
