Oreo downgrade to Nougat - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

Got a phone off ebay with Oreo already.
I've tried multiple firmware already with odin. Just cannot get it to flash. Any suggestions?
Using Odin v3.13

I've already used odin 3.12 and another firmware that was dated Jan 2018.
Tried another suggestion by unticked autoreboot and F. Reset time
Am I just doing this wrong?

You'll need to flash a firmware that is b8. Check the last 5 digits... It needs to be an 8, you are using a 4 firmware

Good, in advance I appreciate the help you can give me since the phone is unusable, it is a Galaxy S7 G930V and I am stuck in a firmware with binary 8.
The issue is that the mobile was super well running Turrón 7 G930VVRS4BRC3 (binary 4), everything worked perfectly well, one day I decided to update to the latest version for then Oreo 8 G930VVRS4CRI1 (binary 4) using Odin 3.13, the phone in his first reboot gets stuck in the Verizon logo, it also heats up a lot, after I forced the shutdown using buttons volume down and on, I turn on the phone and after several attempts manages to start but sending constant messages "Google Play service stopped "," phone stopped "," messages stopped "," clock stopped "," Samsung keyboard stopped "," wifi stopped "" settings stopped ", etc., again and again with each of the applications, not even a minute when the Samsung logo reboots and the same thing happens again, fortunately I managed to flash again the firmware I had previously (Turrón 7) and the mobile continued to work perfectly if No problem.
As time goes by, a new update of Oreo 8 G930VVRS8CRK1 (binary 8) is released, which I updated thinking that all those problems had been solved and I have found that the same errors continue.
When I try to downgrade by flashing the Turrón 7 G930VVRS4BRC3 (binary 4) it happens to me exactly like the fellow @ humana101.
I have flashed the binary firmwares 8 of the G930T and G930U versions downloaded from both Updato and Sammobile and with all of them the same bootloop and close of APP occur.
I have come to the conclusion that the problem is that my Oreo 8 update does not work for my device.
Can someone help me downgrade again Turrón 7, find some firmware that serves me or some Turrón 7 with binary 8?
The device is useless, help!:llorando:

can we downgrade binary

Error Flashing Modem: Secure Check Fail: mdm

I'm trying to flash an updated modem on my i337M which is running a custom DANDVH-GE-4.4.2-01162014-INTNL-STOCK.ZIP which is a Google Play work alike. I am trying to change the modem because it keeps droping the data connection and will only stay stable in 2G mode. Right now its modem is on AMDJ. I've tried to flash both the XXUEMKF, XXUFNA1, modems but I keep getting the following error:

I'm adding the modem.bin to the CP portion of Odin 3.09. I've tried doing this on all my USB ports using two new cables (all w/ the updated samsung drivers). I am using Win 8.1. All the same results. My phone says:
Code:
Odin Mode
Product name: SGH-I337M
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
CSB-OEM_CONFIG_LSB: 0x30
Write Protection: Enable
Then when I start flashing the following to messages appear right under the write protection message:
Code:

Secure Check Fail: mdm
After doing this I have to restart the phone for odin to pick it up again. It boots fine normally, and the original AMDJ modem still shows.
What's going on with this? I've looked in our forums but I can't find anything. I have TWRP installed, and I am rooted.

Hey there, I'm trying to update my I337M's modem as well (I have a post in this forum) so I'm in the same boat as you. From the looks of it, it seems like you're not using the correct modem firmware. If you'd want to update I believe it's something like UMUEMK6 for our phones, I've tried looking around and I can't find it anywhere. Hopefully that offers some direction but I'm waiting to see as well since I'm having the same problem with Google ROMs as well (The data signal never works).
Hello once again,
After a bit of work, I managed to update the modem on my phone to MUMUEMK6 (which is the newest baseband version for the I337M). Since flashing the modem firmware, I've re-installed Danvdh-GE-4.4.2-01232014b.zip and I haven't had a problem since, works without a hitch. What you need is this file which I've RARd up for you :
(Sorry, I have to obfuscate the URL since I'm a new user on these forums, just replace *dot* with a dot)
rtigue *dot* ca/files/SGH-I337M_MK6 *dot* rar
Once you've downloaded the file, simply just boot your phone in ODIN mode, open up ODIN, add the 'modem.bin' to the Phone section in ODIN and click Start. Wait a few moments and after that you should be good to go.
Let me know if anything comes up
For some reason, yours is the only version of the mk6 modem file that worked for my i337m after I was on 4.3 GE and went to old MDJ modem to try sim unlock. Which didn't work, sigh... Thanks!

@ SimonPalmieri
Hello. I'm also running a rooted i337m (Bell) with 4.2.2 i337mvluamg1 stock rom.
Please let me know if the new modem MUMUEMK6 changes the bootloader with KNOX integrated.
Thanks.

Bootloader and modem are not tied together..... MK6 is the latest modem and works with 4.4.2 roms (for I337M), once the actual 4.4.2 update drops for i337m we will be able to update to that modem.
Thanks for replying Gage_Hero.
So I'm then assuming that it's NOT a good idea to flash the mk6 modem.bin on my current rom?

First you need to decide if you want to sim unlock the phone, still possible on mvluamg1, not possible on MK6. I would make sure you have a copy of modem.bin for mvluamg1 first, just incase. Then flash the MK6, I run MK6 on 4.4.2 GErom since we don't have a kitkat modem for i337m yet... once there is I will be updating.....
PS if you can find files that have md5 checksum, that is always good because then you can check the file to make sure it is complete. I had that issue flashing the MK6 modem, first file I downloaded failed in Odin, plus it had no md5 for me to check. Second one I donwloaded had the md5, which I checked and it flashed perfectly....

Nope. The F model has a different chipset. You can flash the 935U version though.

The 935a model does not have an unlocked bootloader so there are not custom ROMs. You can flash different firmware, and have laggy ENGBOOT root, but there is really no development for the device right now.
Ok.so i can flash only the u firmware without any problem?is that better than the a??

Hello,
Ineed help on installing stock firmware too for samsung s7 SM-G930A AT&T mobile.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0Bz4qV62uoY6aQXpfZWpRV0MxUkE
These are errors videos. I'm stuck here with this issue
I rooted my phone, ran the S7 fixes script, the debloat script, then the root seemed to work fine for a day. Then the wireless charging stopped working, then it unplugged and replugged itself over and over and over in the charging mode, like it "recognizes" the charging cable over and over all day long while it's plugged into the charger, making the "beep beep" sound that it makes when you plug in the charger. So I rebooted the phone to see if it would fix it, and now it hangs at the at&t logo screen forever. I can't power it down. I can get into odin mode, but odin fails every time I try to reinstall the factory ROM. I tried to clear the cache, but it didn't work. I tried booting into recovery mode, but it fails. basically I've tried just about everything to unbrick and it's still bricked.
also note that I used odin 3.12.3, the lastest. and I tried to install G930AATT1APB5_User_Binary, which fails every time.
also tried smartswitch, but the program just shuts off instantly after entering the SN in the device initialization in the emergency software and device initialization tab.
I enter the SN and hit okay and then it just shuts down the program, it just disappears.

Can't turn on my phone, can't open twrp, Odin fail Galaxy s8

Hello everyone,
I'm following this forum for mounths but just had chance to register.
I tried to root my phone, then I think something went wrong. Turned on the phone and used for a while, but had a fingerprint sensor error. After that I reboot the phone, but while showing the Samsung logo, I got "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" top of the screen. And phone was automaticly turning off after that.
Then I put the phone download mode and tried to install official firmware. Odin was failed.
I tried to flash bootloader only, and fail neither.

I thought maybe the stock rom that I trying to install is older. But now I can't open the TWRP with the buttons for the wipe data. The Samsung Galaxy logo views, after that it turns off.
Trying to install twrp again, Odin gives me fail too. Now I can only open the download mode.
I need my phone today urgently for contact with my colleagues.
Please ask me for the missing informations and please help me ASAP.. Sorry for my bad and complicated English..
Try to flash an earlier Version of the bootloader maybe QF7.
I found the flashable odin archive at https://mega.nz/#!5Q4TATzQ!DT2OQO01KHfw7HsVNElZSfZ4DHoO9W99k3dJqfumMhg for s8 and at https://mega.nz/#!dMZ0zbDL!oYrcBh8DeOqMFeO9QObu8eNXVrjsajXICJ0o3MJPJ-o for s8+.
I also find a video for this issue at https://youtu.be/VTi3uBkpJic
Try this and reply back..

Or just try to flash the stock rom without the cm.bin/ bl firm.

Thank you for helping but I tried these solutions allready. Now downloading another country's official rom from sammobile. I'm going to try this one but I have no hope

My solution did work. Download the latest firmware and install it with Odin. Thanks everyone anyway..

Note 3 stopped booting, goes straight to Download screen with mmc_read failed message

This is a continuation of a discussion in the TWRP support thread as it's getting a bit off-topic for that thread.
My trusty Galaxy Note 3 N9005 32GB has been giving me a few minor file errors recently, so I re-installed from a nandroid backup (ROM is MagMa NX VX PCE 6.0.1) with Phantom kernel) and it's been great for a few weeks now, performing better than ever in fact.
However yesterday, I glanced at the phone mid-afternoon (after using it fine all day listening to music and reading emails, etc) and it had reverted to the Download screen, reporting "Could not do normal boot, ddi : mmc_read failed."
I can't get into Recovery or use ADB, so I ran Odin on my PC and it showed the device as Added, so I thought I'll re-upload TWRP so I can at least get into Recovery and see what's going on, but although Odin started sending the TWRP .tar file normally, it quickly reported "Get PIT for mapping ... There is no PIT partition". The phone screen showed "UDC START" then "MMC: mmc_read fail". The USB port and USB cable are the same ones I've been using for some recent adb pull backups so they should be OK.
I tried installing a new PIT file (first from a previous backup of my own setup, and then from generic versions for this device) but Odin with AutoReboot, Re-Partition, and F.Reset Time ticked showed:
<ID:0/007> Initialzation..
<ID:0/007> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/007> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/007> FAIL!
<ID:0/007>
<ID:0/007> Re-Partition operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
And the phone showed:
UDC START
MMC: mmc_read fail
I then tried downloading a 4files repair installation of a stock Lollipop ROM (the most recent I could find for this device, N9005ZSUGPJ2) and used Odin to install the included PIT, AP, BL, CP and CSC files, with Nand Erase All selected too:
<ID:0/007> Odin engine v(ID:3.1101)..
<ID:0/007> File analysis..
<ID:0/007> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/007> Initialzation..
<ID:0/007> Erase...
<ID:0/007>
<ID:0/007> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
This time, the phone showed:
UDC START
MMC: mmc_read fail

I could really do with some expert help or advice here from anyone who knows more about these things than I do... or do I have an unexpected brick on my hands? Thanks!

I'm afraid that your phone memory died...this error is a corrupted memory flash
if 4 files + pit doesn't work...which version did you get????
here is the procedure you have to follow...
PLEASE.....DO NOT skip ahead, just follow my instructions in sets,
Here are the Files you NEED to download:
Odin3 v3.10.zip
CHARGE the device to 100% Battery BEFORE beginning!
Download and extract the Files.
Open ODIN, place each of the Files in corresponding boxes:
BL = BL
AP = AP
CP = CP (MODEM)
CSC = CSC
Please select these Check-boxes:
Auto-Reboot
Re-Partition
F. Reset Time
NAND Erase All
Phone Bootloader Update
Phone EFS Clear
START!!
After it reboots, WAIT 10 Minutes, Skip the Wizard and perform a Factory Data Reset!

Which phone version, or which 4files?
Phone is a Galaxy Note 3 N9005 (UK 32GB).
File was from https://zfirmware.com/download-samsung-repair-firmwares/ , version http://www.mediafire.com/file/9ux01...3-N9005-Full-Factory-rom-5.0-N9005ZSUGPJ2.zip . I guess I could try an earlier KitKat version, or if you have any better suggestions, but it's looking less and less hopeful.
I was hoping to be able to use this device until the Note 10 is released, but maybe I'll have to settle for an S10+. Problem is, I prefer my nice Note 3 to anything they have released since (removable battery, no stupid curved-edge display, proper physical front buttons away from the main screen, a bigger - OK, wider - display than anything since, etc)

From my own experience, this problem is a manufacturing defect that affects a lot of samsung devices produced from Q3 of 2014 until Q2 of 2015. The error starts to appear generally after 2 years of use. Note 4 is the most affected, including mine who died last year.
However, I managed to fix a Galaxy S5 with the method I already described. And that has been presented as a momentary solution by several xda users, like here.
I wrote : momentary solution because this error is definitely a hardware failure, a fixed device will only work for a random period then the problem will get worse until the device become completely unusable.
Fortunately, you can buy a new motherboard for less than 30euro. And that's what I recommend you to do.

I've been noticing a few file-read errors over the last 5 months or so, which I put down to bad blocks even though e2fsck -cfv showed zero errors. I thought a reformat and nandroid restore had fixed it, but obviously if the problem is lower down that might just have been delaying the inevitable. I suspect that installing a new mobo would not really be a good long-term plan as that could just as easily have the same issue (as they'll all be 4+ years old by now).

I'll try the KitKat version (normally I'd look for a BTU version, but beggars can't be choosers as the saying goes). If I can at least get it running for now and restore my backup via TWRP then I can do a more relaxed and controlled switchover to an S10+.

Whatever I try, I can't get a new PIT file to re-partition the memory:
<ID:0/007> Odin engine v(ID:3.1301)..
<ID:0/007> File analysis..
<ID:0/007> Total Binary size: 2252 M

<ID:0/007> FAIL!
<ID:0/007>
<ID:0/007> Re-Partition operation failed.
Phone shows MMC: mmc_read fail
Does anyone have a known good PIT file for the UK Note 3 N9005 32GB, along with a matching BL/AP/CP/CSC combo (any ROM version would do) that they would be willing to either upload or point me to?
Thanks,
Andre
I guess I probably should treat this device as a brick now and get it replaced, no other suggestions?

Thanks for the tip. I did ask nicely in their forums, but got a very terse response that they don't discuss devices that have been rooted.

i send you my french files....
take here my files...
Thanks, I'll download and give them a try when I get back on home wi-fi. I fear I'll probably get the same results, but at least I'll have tried everything before giving up on it.
Andre
File downloaded, thank you. There doesn't seem to be a matching PIT file in there though, just the BL, AP, CP and CSC. Is that correct? As stated earlier in the thread, the PIT seems to be corrupted on my device, so was hoping for all 5 files to match...

Many thanks for all your help, but still dead even with the correct PIT I'm afraid.

[SM-G950F] Android Pie (9) downgrade to Oreo 8

Hey'll,
I'm sitting down here, trying to figure out how to downgrade my SM-G950F (Galaxy S8).
Well, acutally I tried all Firmwares (8.0) from SamMobile for Germany.
I'm always getting an Error on my downloader "SW REV. CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER) DEVICE 5 BINARY 4" or when I try only "AP" I get this failor : "kernel rev. check fail device 4 binary 3".
USB-Debugging is ON.
I tried it with OEM Unlocking aswell.
I'm using the original cable with it.
Tried other ports.

You are try to downgrade firmware which you can't do.
You can only flash bootloader version 5 or higher ( 5th number from right of the firmware )

No. ( There maybe a custom rom that's Oreo favoured )
There are a few websites to down load firmware like Sammobil or updato. ( can be slow download though )
If you want the latest version of firmware you can use PC app call samfirm or frija.
friend same problem here, I'm wanting to install custom recovery, already everything is active oem and everything but is saying the issue of birary 5, I'm using android pie last version of November. I was told the question of 168hrs and such to be able to do the custom and I'm squeezing complete this time.
if anyone knows how to do it faster I'm waiting
Waiting
Someone here on xda developed a new program to find and download the correct Samsung firmware called 'FRIJA'. which is the successor to Samfirm.
