Find CSC code without turning on the device? Flashing S8 in boot loop with Home_CSC, no root - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

My S8 G950F got stuck in a boot loop after an update. At first it would try to install updates on boot, then reboot, start turning on with "optimising apps" message but start rebooting again once the app count is finished. Now it shows "no command" after trying to install update on boot and goes to recovery mode, or tries to switch on and optimise apps again if put on charge.
There is a following error line showing in recovery mode log:
#fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#​(Photos of the top and the bottom part of the screen in recovery menu attached - apologies for the quality)
Before this update (I didn't press update myself, it randomly started when rebooting) I had not updated for a while and had little space left, but "lacking storage booting" or safe boot do not work either. Partition cache wipe did nothing too.
My goal is to backup or pull the files from the phone. It is unrooted so adb backup doesn't work (there is an "update from adb" option in recovery mode and some sideload commands work in that mode but it doesn't seem to be useful). I would like to try and flash it with Odin - from what I understood flashing with HOME_CSC instead of CSC should leave files intact.
However, I read that it is important for CSC to match my current one and since it won't boot I can't access software information and don't know where to look for it. I am in the UK and bought the phone unlocked so it would suggest that the CSC code is either BTU or XEU, but I bought it on Amazon so wonder if it could be different? Can the CSC be different from the region I bought it in/am currently in? The only information I see in recovery mode above the options is:
9/PPR1.180610.011/G950FXXS8DTC6
This last bit, as I understand, is PDA. Is there a way to find out what the CSC is?

[Q] i9505 Soft Brick Help - Stuck on Samsung logo (Rooted)

Okay first post on this website.
4.4.2, i9505
So, as i am a compete android n00b, i rooted my s4 with the KingoRoot tool as i thought it was an easy method, later i found out ChainFire made an easy auto root .
After i rooted with the kingo my device would randomly reboot, when i called someone, when i locked my phone and random stages throughout the day.
After some reading online i found the solution was to re-flash my phone to stock fireware. so i downloaded odin, drivers, fireware from sam and tried to re-flash it. however my phone failed after aboot.mbn. I then got the unexpected error saying the phone had to be plugged into kies etc.
I then used "philz_touch_6.07.9-i9300.tar.md5" to get rid of the error message which worked. however the phone still would radnomly restart.
Again i turnrf to the web to find a solution for the radnom booting and found this -

Thanks, Dylan
1. The error that give u ODIN is coz you are trying to flash an older firmware that the one you have installed in your device.
2. You have to flash a STOCK recovery. Flash this file via ODIN in PDA/AP (like in the pic 1 attached): HERE.
3. Turn off your device manually when the process finish. Boot it into STOCK RECOVERY by pressing and holding Volume Up, Home and Power.
4. Take a look the CSC (pic 2). "Applied the CSC-code: ............" <- This is your REAL CSC. Turn off your device again manually and boot it into DOWNLOAD MODE by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power.
5. Go to Sammobile and download the LATEST firmware for your device with correct CSC and flash it via ODIN.
6. About KNOX and reboots: Delete all KNOX reminds less "Lib = libknox_encryption.so".
7. Good luck

Galaxy Note 4 flashing issue

HI XDA,
I am using Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910G)
1st STAGE
Suddenly in my phone's recovery menu says "drk verification failed",
If i install firmware vis Kies or ODIN it says"write flash memory failed"
2nd STAGE
I flash new Firmware and PIT file(get from some web) via ODIN3_v1.85.
But phone was not worked properly.
When i open recovery boot menu it says"Installing System updates"(5 min)
then after select "wiping menu" or "reboot" it takes 10 min.
3rd STAGE
I flash via Smart switch Emergency Recovery mode but it says above errors.(But it working properly compered to above condition but have same errors)
4th stage
I flash official ROM(AP) and Boot Loader(BL) vis ODIN3_v3.11.
Started properly but same screen says"Installing system updates" and all that.
Sometimes says "NO COMMAND" for a bit sec and goes to recovery menu.
Note: Phone is not rooted
What should i do to solve this issue?
I think that may issue again rise from PIT file?(It seems partition line in recovery menu)
is there any way to remove partition made by PIT file?
What should happen if i check "re-partition"(Not given PIT file) or "Nand Erase All" while flashing with ODIN?
I have BL,AP,CP,CSC for that phone.
Thanks in advance.

S7 Edge G935F // Faulty ODIN flash // Stuck in Bootloader [SOLVED]

Hi Guys,
today I wanted to flash the latest Stock ROM for my device via ODIN. I've done this many times before and (thought) I knew what I was doing. It is my third Phone frome the same carrier and none of them were branded/ locked devices before. Unfortunatly I wasn't aware that this particular device was locked.
After downloading the international firmware I tried to install it and ODIN got stuck while writing the system.img. After that my phone did not boot up (of course). After that I downloaded and tried to isntall the firmware of the carrier, but I had the exact same issue. When I turn my device on I get to an error screen which tells me to execute an "emergency recovery" via the Samsung smart switch software. But it too gets stuck on some point and only gets me to an error screen.
FRP hinders me to install a custom recovery and the stock one does not allow any isntallations via ADB or SD card.
My qustion is: Does anyone know how I can install a rom from here?
I know that I had to have made some changes prior to the flashing, but as I said I was not aware and an Idiot for not double checking.
Since it is not bricked yet I suppose there must be an answer but I can't find anything.
Thanks in advance
Edit:
After only installing the stock bootloader, I am autmaticly entering it when I boot my devive. On the bottom of the screen is an error message: "dm-verity verification failed...
E:failed to mount /system (invalid argument)"
Fix
For anyone in the same situation: I fixed it.
In the end all you have to do is flash the firmware with the fitting PIT file. If you firmware consists of multiple files and there is a "HOME"-file, flash it with this one first on the AP slot in ODIN. After that the same again just use the AP file this time.
My phone is up and running again now.

have u solved your problem ? This problem i am facing on the s7edge nougat ? Plz help ?
Hey,
look at the second post I made in this thread. There is described how I got my S7 up and running again. I'm not sure if it is a valid solution since it felt like trial and error to me, but I'm writing this text from my S7 so it might be worth a try!
Good luck!

I described everything I did in the posts before.
As soon as you can enter the system again all you need to do is deactivate the locks I was talking about in my first post and perform a full wipe.
After that you can install any ROM you want via ODIN just like you are used to.
If that doesn't work for you, I don't have any answers either.
But again:
Prep work:
1. Download most recent ODIN
2. Download the correct firmware for your carrier (from www.sammobile.com)
3. Download the correct PIT file for your device
4. Put your device in download mode
Process:
1. Extract your firmware if it is a zip
2. Start up ODIN
3. Connect your device and check if it's detected by ODIN
3. Put the PIT file in ODIN
4. Put the "HOME" file of your firmware in the PDA slot of ODIN
5. Press start
6. When finished unplug your device and restart phone and ODIN
7. Reconnect your phone and check if it's detected by ODIN
8. Put all the other files of your firmware + the PIT in the correct slot in ODIN
9. Press start
After that my device booted up but still was, as you described too, a little buggy. So I deactivated FRP, activated USB debugging in the dev options, installed TWRP, performed a full wipe and installed another firmware of my choosing via ODIN (without a PIT file this time).
I am running 7.0 on my device now and it works flawlessly.

Does the TWRP flash complete? Can you boot up the OS after you flashed TWRP? (And did you download the correct version of TWRP for your device?)
As a last resort, you could try and flash marshmallow on your device and see if it works there.

if i flash marshmallow it doesnt even boot up and in the odin mode showing binary and everything as custom , if i flash nougat and then flash twrp and try to manually boot into twrp it stucks on the s7edge screen which comes before recovery , and if i boot the mobile normally without the button combination then it stucks on the second logo SAMSUNG . if i flash again the stock recovery then boots normally

Have you tried to perform a regular factory reset via the OS on nougat? Sometimes that does the job, too.
But as I said. I can only give you my best guess here - my phone worked after my procedure, so I didn't investigate further.
And don't forget: Google is your friend.

Well I had the same issue but Odin method didn't work for me on Nougat. And also FRP lock was On. every time I flashed the files it give me FRP on error. so I had to use Smartswitch. Even though I used original csc and ap files with latest Odin. BTW I have SM-G935FD model

Well FRP has to be turned off (the button in the menu is called "OEM unlock, the button has to be set to on which deactivates FRP). You don't mention using a PIT file - did you use one?

Bricked S7 Edge?

Recently, I turned off developer options in my rooted S7 Edge (SM-G935FD). Idk if that is the cause, but after rebooting I got the error "Custom Binary Blocked by FRP Lock". I couldnt boot into my recovery (TWRP) either. I was running on Oreo btw. I watched some Youtube guides and apparently the solution was to flash stock rom. So... I flashed an Oreo Stock Rom on my phone via Odin. I thought that would solve my problem, but instead it made it worse. It didnt give me the Custom Binary Blocked by FRP lock error but my boot screen is stuck at the boot animation (not a bootloop). I could boot into the stock recovery tho. I tried a factory reset, that didnt make things better. I could also boot into download mode. I thought I made a mistake, so I flashed like 5-8 times with both CSC an Home_CSC. The result was the same, it would get stuck at the boot animation. I tried flashing TWRP via Odin too, but it said "Custom Binary (Recovery) blocked by FRP Lock". I tried sideloading that TWRP file to my device via ADB. It gave me an error too (I think "Cannot flash from external devices" or something like that) I thought flashing with Re-partition and Nand Erase On would solve my problem, so I tried that, but it didnt work. Im running on Binary 3 apparently. Is there anything I can do?

I still have the "FRP Lock: On" on download mode, so I tried bypassing FRP lock via binary 5 combination firmware and flashing a binary 7 stock firmware. This time, it doesnt get stuck at the boot animation, instead it redirects to a screen with an android face saying "Installing System updates". A few seconds later, it says "No command" with a dead android face. Then it reboots and the same thing happens. Basically a boot loop, but in a different way. I cant seem to boot to stock recovery either. The worst thing is that I cant even turn off the thing. I have to leave it loop for the entire day until its battery dies

That is what I literally did. I flashed a combination firmware, factory rested my entire phone, turned on developer options as well as allow usb debugging, attempted to reset FRP via Z3X Samsung Tool Pro and finally flashed a stock rom. And, the result is this. A bootloop with an android face dying. I did manage to enter a different screen by pressing volume up once along with pressing volume down and power button. It said "could not open recovery_because_no file directory" and had some more errors. The thing is....I made it worse at the first place. I could have flashed a room with binary 6 or lower, cuz at least the combination firmware would have been available to flash, but my stupid brain did not think of that. I flashed a binary 7 stock rom and there is no combination firmware with a binary of 7 or more. Which means, I will most likely get the "SW check fail Device: 7 Binary: 6 " error while flashing.

If the device is still entering download mode, install the recent version of stock for your device. Maybe that will solve your problem.

the "no such file or directory" error is due to either having had removed stock recovery in flashing the firmwares or the factory recovery corrupted due to likely the same reason. Just flash a revision 7 firmware for your phone and it will at least boot

I have literally flashed the latest stock rom for my device and my country which is G935FXXS7ESK8.
I am a bit confused tho...I am not sure if my device is SM-G935FD or SM-G935F. The download mode says SM-G935F...but this phone used to work with a SM-G935FD rom back in the days. Is this causing the problem most likely? And btw the repair shop said they cant fix it too

I am somehow relieved to know that someone else on this planet is on the same (EXACT) boat as me....this is what we get for messing around too much with our phone hum?
1 - After booting up my phone I get the blue background with a dead Android and "No Command" message
2 - I tried accessing recovery by pressing Power+Home+VolumeUp, but all I get is a black screen with a wall of code lines with "fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)" at the beggining of the text.
3 - "No problem! I'll just flash TWRP with ODIN and install a custom ROM and be done with it!".
..NOPE! FRP(factory reset protection) is ON!!! I cannot install TWRP
4- I've tried to find a combination file with binary version 7...but looks like the internet doesn't seem to care about the good ol' number 7...All I can find is binary version 6.
What Im trying to do now is creating my own combination file binary version 7 (if that's even a thing...) from a stock firmware. But I'm not getting any luckier down this path.
Looks like we need a hero...:crying:

No luck over here friend...
Desperate times require desperate measures. Have you ever tried flashing combination files from different S7 Edge versions?
I can find files for the G935A with a revision 7 of the binary...Im thinking flashing it into my G935F and see what happens. I've read the risks associated with installing firmwares from other phone versions, but I'll have a paperweight either way.
I'll keep this thread updated.

Doesn't really matter if you have a F or FD. I'd say you flash the latest stock rom for G935F or FD(which ever is latest) for any country regardless. By this you should be able to boot and won't get any odin errors.

At first u can flash ur phone to leatest stock rom. Then u have to turn of frp lock. Then u will able to boot up your phone. If u cant fix u can knock me on facebook. (If u r a z3x user). Bcoz u need z3x for bypass frp with ufs cable.
Im also using s7 edge.

Does it matter if I use the cracked version without box. And no, I dont have the ufs cable. Is there anything else I can do?
Hi guys, I have the exact same problem with my S7 edge from T-mobile (g935t). Odin will only accept for flash the latest rom and after flash it reboots but I get BSOD. I tried a pit file also from an old g935T rom which was android 6.0 and I managed to get into recovery for a moment and I did a factory reset/wipe cache but after reboot entered again in a black screen and the blue led was lit. I finally removed the battery to turn the phone off. I can still enter download mode but is there anything else I can do to resurrect the phone?
Samsung s7 edge (g935f)
Hi everyone , please am having issue of NO COMMAND and i cant boot into recovery. My oem is on so i cant install twpr neither. Am on binary u8. Please any solution to recover my phone?
Very very good new guys...yep you guessed it right. I was able to fix this problem.
How you may ask? Follow these steps
Note: Make sure you have enough battery. Lack of battery charge in my case caused alot of problems.
1. Download a U7 Rom for your SM-G935F or SM-G935FD
2. Extract the Rom as well as the AP
3. After you extract the AP, you will be greeted with boot.lz4.img , recovery.lz4.img , system.lz4.img & meta-data
4. Make a backup of recovery.lz4.img and meta-data just in case. Also, make a copy of boot.lz4.img and rename the copied one to recovery.lz4.img. Don't forget to delete the original recovery and meta-data
5. Now, you should be left with boot.lz4.img , (modified) recovery.lz4.img and system.lz4.img.
6. Now, download this https://www.mediafire.com/file/ah20ha869prdkkc/Autotar2.0_By_FixFirmwares.com.rar/file
7. Now, make a .md5 file that contains (modified) recovery.lz4.img and system.lz4.img
8. After you are done making that .md5, flash it along with CSC, CP and BL.
9. You should directly boot into your device, (if you do), charge your phone for a while if the battery is lower than 20%.
10. Then, go to the settings and enable OEM Unlock before doing ANYTHING
11. Then, reboot to download mode and flash TWRP
12. Download the no-verity-encryption.zip
https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfe
13. Allow system modifications and format data (NOT WIPE)
14. If that doesn't work, go to TWRP, connect it to your PC and copy the no-verity-encryption.zip file and install it
15. If that still doesn't work then, follow this tutorial
https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....niversal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389/amp/
16. Then, you should boot and yea...enjoy ?
If this method doesn't work then, you need to try different combinations.
Try packing these files in AP
1. Boot.lz4.img, (Modified) Recovery.lz4.img & system.lz4.img
2. (Modified) Recovery.lz4.img & system.lz4.img
3. Meta-data, Boot.lz4.img, (Modified) Recovery.lz4.img & system.lz4.img
If that doesn't work, I'm sorry this is how I fixed it. ?*
For anyone wondering how I fixed it well, firstly a HUGE THANKS TO @shah22 & @Tapas27sTapas2. This would have been LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT THEM. So, basically I tried an AP with renamed recovery.lz4.img and system.lz4.img only along with CP, CSC and BL. Due to my phone having literally 0%, this journey was very difficult.
Feel free to ask any question

SM-J500FN: Bootloop at Samsung logo after flashing stock rom 6.0.1

Please help me out guys
I installed twrp pro 3.2.1-1 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-recovery-pro-galaxy-j5-2015-t3728264) on my J500FN (stock rom v6.0.1). It supports AROMA file manager. With twrp pro i installed [ROM][J500xx][TW-7.1.1][v5.0] SEPerience-ROM A8 2018 Port (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/rom-sep-8-5-galaxy-a8-2018-rom-t3796971).
The ROM also started and ran without problems. Since I didn't like it, I installed Odin again with stock rom 6.0.1 (four-part version). I paid close attention to BL AP, CP and CSC. Odin reports sucessfull 1, failed 0. But now my phone still gets bootloop at samsung logo. I also tried v5.1.1, but bootloop at samsung logo here too. But it is the right firmware (SM-J500FN_1_20190207155114_slzx5q4t70_fac.zip). Exactly the same with stock rom v5.1.1.
I am at the end of my knowledge . Please help.

Try rebooting to stock recovery and do a factory reset. Your data should have already been formatted by installing stock theough but just in case try this
When starting stock recovery, the message "installing system update ..." appears and shortly thereafter "no command.", before the recovery menu appears.
I did "wipe data / factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" and then "reboot system now". Unfortunately a bootloop at the samsung logo ::crying:
I don't understand what I did wrong. I have already flashed some Samsung smartphones with new firmware. So far I always thought that flashing the stock rom firmware can fix everything.

That should be the case. Try a different version of Odin perhaps? I know people have issues with certain versions on certain devices

I tried the following odin versions:
Odin3 v3.09
Odin3 v3.10.7
Odin3 v3.11.1
Odin3 v3.12.5
Odin3 v3.14.4
Always the same
After flashing, Odin reports suceed 1, failed 0.
The automatic restart begins with the Android logo and the messages "installing system update ...", "erasing", "installing system update ...". Then the device restarts up to the Samsung logo and then goes into bootloop.
I also always did "wipe data / factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" and then "reboot system now" via stock recovery, just before I rebooted the device. Alwas the same. At samsung logo bootloop.
I have attached 2 screenshots of the flash process (without errors).
I am at a loss. What else could be the reason? I hope you can give me more tips.
Update, second attempt.
I've added a few photos as I may be missing an important clue.
I don’t know, what i do wrong.
With ODIN v3.14 I flashed the right stock rom (picture 1) back, which was previously installed (picture 2). I paid close attention to BL AP, CP and CSC. Odin reports succeed 1, failed 0 (picture 3). But now my phone still restarting on samsung logo (it isn’t bootloop, sorry for the wrong description).
If I try to enter stock recovery - first it appears "installing system update", then "no command" and then it enter the stock recovery. I did „Wipe data/factory Reset“, „Wipe cache partition“ (picture 4) and then „Reboot system now“ (Successfully verify for dmverity hash tree). But no success. After the samsung logo lights up a few times, the smartphone restarts.
I installed again TWRP pro 3.2.1-1 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...2015-t3728264).
TWRP pro – WIPE data, cache and dalvik. Okay.
TWRP pro – INSTALL [ROM][J500xx][TW-7.1.1][v5.0] SEPerience-ROM A8 2018 Port (https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...rom-t3796971)- without any changes. Okay.
TWRP pro – Wipe cache/dalvik. Okay.
With TWRP - "Reboot System" I restarted the smartphone
After „Reboot System“ – no restart on Samsung logo; the setup process started and after selection language and beginning selection WLAN, the system reported stopped something and then restart
After a short time the setup process started again – selection language, selection WLAN, selection terms and conditions – restart without any report
After a short time the setup process started again – selection language, selection WLAN (was already set up), selection terms and conditions, Searching for updates …. Finished. The desktop appears. But then without a reason – restart
After a short time the setup process started again – selection language, selection WLAN (was already set up), selection terms and conditions, Searching for updates …. Finished. The desktop appears. But then without a reason – restart
After a short time the setup process started again – The desktop appears immediately. And I can work with the smartphone perhaps 10 minutes – but then restart without any report
Can the error be further narrowed down? Is it a hardware or a software problem?
And the sim-card is not recognized.
I am at a loss.
And i don't know, why the pictures are not displayed
I bought a used motherboard. Problem solved.
