[Q] Q: Un-rooting / flashing stock Note 3 - HELP

Hello there,
I have looked through the forums and have attempted various different tutorials on how to un-root and flash back to the stock firmware. I am with Rogers Wireless (Canada), and have downloaded Odin and N900W8VLUBMI5_N900W8OYABMI5_RWC which is the rogers firmware for my device. Every time I connect my device to Odin in download mode, select PDA / AP, I get an error log with the following:
Code:

On the phone itself, I see:
"SW REV CHECK FAIL: [sb1]Fused 2 > Binary 1"
I cannot seem to flash it, no matter what I do.
Any help is appreciated, I would really like to flash back to the stock firmware and remove root. Thank you.

You are currently on a newer firmware (you can check it in Settings/About or with *#1234# ). You are on a new bootloader and you will not be able to return to an older firmware. Check your knox status - if that is 0x1 you will also never be able to make it back to 0x0. Read around for more info (but generally you should be able to write the latest ROM from your carrier, and that should also remove root).

Thank you for the reply,
I see that knox is set to 0x1, doh. Where would I be able to find / download the same / latest firmware for my Rogers Wireless Note 3?
Edit: Found it, thank you. So there will NEVER be a way to trip knox back to 0x0?

I don't know about Rogers, but for instance you can look here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-N900W8&pcode=RWC#firmware
There is also another option that might also work - with Kies 3 using Tools -> Emergency firmware recovery - but I believe you might need the latest Kies version and even that one might not work. (I consider that one a little safer only in the fact that if something very bad happens you might get away with free service on it by saying Kies created the problem, while saying that you bricked the phone in Odin will guarantee that service will NOT be covered by warranty).

your right, kies does helps, but was wondering can we blame kies for the 0x1 when flashing back to stock if we do a warrenty exchange through the carrier? haha

After I flashed Poland 4.4.2 rom I lost my warranty and Knox now 0×1. ANY ideas how to fix it.

[Q] Rerooting Samsung I337

I apologize if my situation is here somewhere. I have read through so many forums and can't find what I need, plus I am sort of new at this. So here goes.
I rooted my Samsung I337 about 8 months ago for the first time. I can't remember exactly how, but I followed a thread here to do it. It worked perfectly! I then flashed the Golden Eye rom to it through TWRP. I have loved it since then. I did a back up of my original rom on my phone from the start. Well, I decided yesterday to unroot it. I followed the directions from a thread here and it seems to have worked except that when I turn it on, the custom screen is first. However, I have no supersu and when I try to get rooting apps it tells me I need to root my phone. So I assume it worked.
Well, I have used it for a day and now remember why I rooted it in the first place. I want to put it back but can't seem to do that. I downloaded Odin, connected my phone, and when I try and download the file to it, it fails. This is what I get.

The only thing I can see is that I am told the COM port should be yellow and mine is blue. Does that make a difference? What could the issue be? Any help would be awesome!

Ok, I figured it out. I went about it a different way. Odin wasn't working for me so I went the route of Motochopper and it worked perfectly.
Now, my question is, before I rooted again I wanted to upgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.3. However, every time it tried, it failed. Each time it would download the update it would reboot to TWRP and then I would get the "something interrupted the download" so it wouldn't finish. How would I get around that? How do I get the update?

Don't. Getting the update will lock your bootloader and you won't get TWRP and any ROM freedom anymore. If you want 4.3, use the StockUp ROM or something. Then you can still switch to something like Google Edition 4.4.2 or any other ROM if you ever want to.

Bricked Galaxy S5 (G900V) after attempted root, no methods fix so far

Hi all,
I am new to rooting (first attempted root) and working with Android, so I'm not familiar with all the jargon.
Earlier I attempted to root my Galaxy S5 (G900V) using jrkruise's guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370). Following the guide closely, after running root.bat I used Odin as per the instructions at the end of the root.bat program. Odin gave me the notification that it was successful. So as per the instructions I attempted to turn on my phone, however it was stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S5 screen.
I have tried factory reset/format and clearing data cache to no avail. I have also tried putting a stock ROM back on via Odin and was met with this message.

UPDATE: I was able to solve my problem flashing the following ROM: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911970571. This could be helpful for anyone with similar problems, so I will leave this thread up for anyone having troubles.

I was following the exact same directions and ended up with the same issue. Did you try the root process again and find out where you (and probably I) messed up while following the directions on your given link? Before rooting I purchased SuperSu Me, but never opened it. You seem to be a little ahead of me, but I'm also in your boat. I hope to find out your result.

Nope, I'm not entirely sure where I messed up in the first place. I haven't tried the root process again and intend to wait a while before trying again, I don't want to risk bricking/messing up my phone right now. Next time I think I'll be more careful following the instructions configuring the King Root .apk.

Well I went ahead and gave it a 2nd try and had success! Here are some notes that will help you.
1. Do factory reset so nothing is in the way and start up your cell, copy and past over KingRoot, & install it.
2. At this time also copy over Knox_Removal_SU_BB_INIT.D.zip (The actual whole .zip file) to a folder on your device
3. I "Prepared My Phone For Root" at the bottom of the steps and then went to the top and ran root.bat and then root2.bat. I did get hung up on the "Samsung Galaxy S5" screen again, but I looked at the command prompt screen that opens with root.bat and it was prepared for that situation and had directions for me to follow. I followed those directions and was able to boot up. At this point I went to the Play store, signed in, and installed the SuperSU Me paid app and followed the directions.
4. On Step 6 of the directions, it says to flash OK3, but I noticed the BPB1 file (and saw it was newer when the developer added it) and used it instead as it is newer software.
5. Everything else ran smooth, when you're asked to install the Knox Removal .zip, it's on your device, just find the .zip file itself and open/run it.
Hope this information helps and now I'm off to figure out how I can use the hotspot feature, given I have unlimited data. (That was my entire purpose for rooting)

Tried flashing another stock ROM trying to get back to stock from root. That didn't work. Then I flashed this and am able to boot. But my mobile data icon is just 4G instead of being 4G LTE (or LTE), and I'm missing the WiFi calling button as well.
So, I probably need to flash the radios and everything with this. So, do I flash the AP first from the ZIP, then everything else after, or can I flash them all at once? Not an experienced ODIN user. Only used it a handful of times.

Yes you must flash all parts of this to be on stock PI4 ROM. But remember that you will lose root and not get it back.

Thanks, guys. Those were the answers I was looking for.

Hello I want to say thank you for providing the T-Mobile Firmware Package for restoring the Note 7 to its original state after a Rooting atampt botched up. I also had this problem but now restored the phone with the supplied firmware. Thank you.
I do have one problem though. The firmware supplied has the first update with the annoying Safety Recall statement in that hugh box while plug is inserted, pulled out and turned on. I like to know if you can supply the original firmware that the phone came boxed with or if you have some kind of way of getting rid of that stupid annoying big box message that pops up all the time.
And again thank you so much.

Ok I feel like a dumb ass,
This has to be the most complicated root, update I have ever seen. I accidently hit update earlier today which reduced my battery life to 60% I tried living with it today and it was driving me absolutely nuts I thought about taking the phone in and getting a damn iphone just because I'm tired of messing around with this phone..... I tried to root using post one however it keeps failing, I tried rooting using post 2 that also failed. I tried going back one firmware version that also didn't work, I tried doing the samsung smart switch recovery it asks for a code I tried the serial of the phone and model number that also didn't work. Can someone please explain either how to get root from the newest firmware or to revert back to a older firmware that dosen't have this stupid battery restriction. The information of my phone is below .

I than did a quick search had someone suggest checking "re-partition" that also failed with the same error.

So I gave that a go and it tells me that the device is not supported after doing the model and serial number lol.

If only it was that easy. As of now I can't even get into android it fails to boot. I cleared cache and factory reset and still won't boot. I'm sure I will have to flash now for sure from recovery or download mode. I think Samsung is ****n with us somehow to not let us flash.

The same thing happened to me. I re-flashed to the recent firmware I had installed originally (the one with the big ugly safety recall message from September). I flashed everything at once BL, AP, CP and CSC(I used the HOME_CSC_*.tar.md5 named file because I was returning to stock)

I think you will find this thread useful as well. It contains definitions and explanations on flashing and working with Odin. I just wish there was more information.

Need help updating galaxy s8 active [email protected]

Im having an issue with my att s8 active, it has not updated since june 26th 2018 and according to att its 4 updates behind and i cant get the pie update. After spending all day on the phone with the useless insurion and samsung support as they either wanted my deductible to replace my phone or send it in and lose it for a few weeks. Is there anyway to update it by odin and firmware, if so is there a link to the last 4 firmwares? I have flashed using odin before on previous galaxies and im comfortable doing it again if its possible. My phone is not unlocked or rooted and I dont need it to be.
My current base band is G892AUCS2BRF2 and im in the us

Alright, next two stupid questions. Is USB debugging enabled?
Are you running odin as an administrator?

If you are referring to this https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
Yes i have tried both versions he has down there to download.

jd14771 said:
Last thing i can think of at the moment is trying another source for the update files. possibly they are corrupt seeing as they are not available from sammobile, you are relying on people uploaing it themselves, so the chances the update is compromised is pretty good.

pulled them from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ctive-stock-odin-t3667204/page18#post79978095
the new pie update only has one link as well as the G892AUCS2BRF2 I dont know where else to get them as its hard to trust any page. I havent been around a while so im out of the loop. I kept my active stock so i wouldnt have to do any of this put it just stopped receiving ota updates june of last year
Edit: weird thing is att advanced tech showed my phone as receiving the update.

jd14771 said:
which one did you download? the one from post #1, or a more recent one posted in the comments?

edit 2: Successful flash finally, there must be a conflict on my build of windows or my chipset drivers.

jd14771 said:
litterally the last thing icould suggest that i believe has a chance of working is flashing the latest Tmobile rom from sammobile.
use this tool (requires 2 Microsoft add ons, read the post) to download the firmware quick.
with the tool running, enter
Code:
Model: SM-G892U
Region: TMB
AUTO (check this box)
binary nature (check this box)
->select check update
make sure to check "Check CRC32" and "Decrpyt Automatically"
->select "Download"
If that fails, then my best suggestion is to visit a samsung repair center near you and have them update it. i confirmed with samsung chat that they can do it. you should call them to verify they will though and if it incurs a charge.

can you post detailed specs of each machine? ive seen a few people with your same issue. would help others diagnose the issue if its computer related.

Mine the ryzen system is the problem pc, thanks for the help though really appreciate it.

jd14771 said:
interesting- the main difference that i can see is that your PC does not have Secure boot enabled, while hers does.
your device encryption support status
Code:
Device Encryption Support Reasons for failed automatic device encryption: TPM is not usable, PCR7 binding is not supported, Hardware Security Test Interface failed and device is not Modern Standby, Un-allowed DMA capable bus/device(s) detected, TPM is not usable
i can't list hers because it says elevation required to view, but im willing to bet that might be the problem? idk. if you feel like it, boot into your bios and enable secure boot, and see if it allows you to re-flash the same files you are flashing now when its done. eaither it will be a quick no, or samsung ODIN requires secure boot to work.
