You can try to download default samsung firmware from sammobile and use Odin to install the firmware. For me it works.

thanks for your replies mates!!
I do not understand what is the difference of the files that I flash with factory oxa the samsung firmware.
I understand that the firmware in samfirmware there is only one file within a zip to put in pda only and oxa factory has 5 it is mentioned in the first post to leave the factory.
or you mean that first flash of a file and then the oxa factory?
thank you very much:laugh:

[Q] Firmware upgrade issue. Can't open.

First of all sorry for my bad English.

System Status : Custom
Knox Warranty Void : 1
Ap Swrev : A2
How can i install new firmware. Please help. Can i odin any stock rom?
I have no other telephone so i'm in big trouble.

Don't panic.
Just download ODIN flashable Stock Firmware which should be higher than MK4. Flash it carefully through PC ODIN and you should be good.
Once your phone boots normally to new ROM, reboot once again.
Then switch off, start in Download Mode and flash PhilZ (or whichever you like) recovery through PC ODIN.
After it you can flash any Custom ROM (they all are prerooted).
Good Luck !!!

sorry for my bad english

Two options I see:
1. Try to restore your device using Kies3
2. Flash newest firmware (get it from sammobile) for your region using PC-Odin.

Putting "need help urgently please :'(" does not help you in any way, in fact it makes it more likely that people will simply ignore the topic. Topic titles need to be descriptive, not generic non-descriptive.
Your problem is that like many newbies you cant be bothered to do research, read and learn before messing around with your device.
You should boot into download mode and flash a stock rom. Preferably a older one that doesn't have knox. Then flash a stock rom(without knox) in recovery mode. All the info you need is here on forum.

i forgot to tell that one of the things changed that my mobile lost the usb support in the normal mode as there is no change when i connect it to my pc except it charges only but it works in the download mode and when i reflash the stock rom v 4.3 the screen freezes after a few seconds of turning it on and i have to remove the battery .. do you think that flashing the 4.4.2 sthock rom will make a change ? as the solution of kies isn't possible due to the lack of usb support !
is there a way to format the sectors that the pation " param " which flashed by the sumsung star dous stock rom is in it and make that conflict to delete that ??

What was your last stock rom on your device before messing up?
I do absolutely not agree with those horror tales about knox, most people don't use and easily get rid of.
Do you remember your last bootloader? MK4 or above? Then don't take any risk by flashing 4.3 firmware and go straight ahead to 4.4.2.
It will be the safest way to get a working device again.

So you can also try the NA1 firmware, but nothing beneath that. NA1 is a knox enabled BL, so whatever you flash successfully will have Knox in it.
DON'T TICK REPARTITION!

1) Go to Sammobile
2) Find firmware for your region -> download
3) Find Odin 3.09 -> download and install
4) Start Odin 3.09
5) Plugin device -> see if Odin displays active com port
6) Go into download mode
7) Link firmware download in tab PDA/AP
8) Let Odin check md5
9) Press start button
10) Wait until display of com port in Odin turns green and says success.
All these steps could also be found with an easy Google search or in Youtube tutorials

OK, I see. Try a wipe from stock recovery, wipe all possible.
Another option: Kies!
I know, you said not recognized but you must get it to work. Uninstall all drivers from PC an re-install drivers until Kies can restore your device.
Very last option: Find a Samsung repair near to you.

As you mentioned you already have been on NA1 firmware and as it seems you have flashed latest 4.4.2 with "a kind of success" I find it hope- and useless to even try this rescue rom. Bootloader is the reason why you can't successfully flash. NO DOWNGRADE POSSIBLE.

Can you illustrate your words ? For kies it's unpossible to connect my mobile to any pc the drivers works perfectly for any similarphone the fault is in my mobile not the driver and for sumsung care it will be high cost as the warranty ended ! And I wipe every thing possible through the stock recovery but noyhing changed !

I am beginning to lose my patience cause you don't follow my advice or even don't consider that I am right.
Look into system on your PC if there is an unknown device.
Whenever hardware is connected to PC Windows starts to search for drivers.
It doesn't matter that other devices are recognized correctly.
Wipe all Samsung drivers and re-install. Even re-install Kies too.
Start Kies and try restoration, maybe it will fail, but try. AND with current drivers you are supposed to fail.
At last: Try to find a friend with knowledge who can help you at your home or his.

Help! boot loop - Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock

Hello, i have a SM-G920P model, its on a boot loop with the message on the top in red:
KERNEL ITS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock.
factory reset using the stock recovery and its the same.
i downloaded the latest firmware from sammobile and tried to flash it with odin 3. but odin always gets stuck on "Nand Write Start!!".. and doesnt do nothing for hours. i also tried an older version of Odin (1.3) and its stuck also on the flash. also tried to flash custom recovery..
i read somewere that using kies "fimware upgrade and initialization" works.. kies said that my phone was no supported, but the tool did accepted my phone model, but not my serial no. located on the back of phone (in odin mode is the same number). if somebody have the same model can give me their s/n so kies can download the firmware and i can flash using kies.

Yes, use Odin to install the latest stock ROM. There are numerous threads right here explaining how to do this and providing links. But....
Download Odin from here: http://www.samsungodindownload.com/
Download the latest stock: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24343351889231947

OEM Locked whilst with custom rom

OK I have officially screwed up...
So it was all going smoothly flashing a tweaked custom rom and twrp successfully and then I decided to back to stock...
I accidentally (ok maybe not so accidentally) flipped the OEM unlock switch and now I am locked out of my phone since I still had the custom binary on the phone.
I tried to flash the latest stock firmware for the s9 BTU found from samfirm but odin seemed to have not liked the firmware or something and it gave me an a red message on the odin mode screen.
When I try to flash everything at once I get "REV Failed Check (Bootloader)"
When I try to flash just AP I get "REV Failed Check (Kernel)"
At the moment when I boot up I get the message telling me to use emergency software recovery but Smart Switch does not seem to recognise the device either in the emergency recovery page however it does try to connect on the home page.
I'm not too sure what to do, any help would be nice?
Thank you

You cannot downgrade the bootloader, check which version your phone has in Download mode (BL: xx) and check which version the firmware you are flashing has G960FXXU1BRF8

OK I think I have found the BL version from the line that says...
"RP SWREV B:2 K:2 S:2"
But what firmware has the BL Version 2? They all seem to have a BL version of 1 from what you've said?
If there are no firmware which match this, what do I do? Is my phone redundant?

OK
I saw on another thread that was replied to about the Hong Kong version having been already upgraded to BL 2 so I am going to give flashing that a go and I will report back.

Yea you'll either have to do something like that, or wait for your region firmware to have it's BL updated

Tried it out with a BL2 BTU firmware from SamMobile and the flash went smoothly however now I'm stuck in a bootloop when I'm trying to boot up.
I know this could be anything but I can't get any form of logs as the only mode I have is Odin mode available to me...
The way I flashed it was by doing BL first followed by AP, CP then CSC separately with auto reboot and one other one checked that was instructed by SamMobile. I tried to do them together but I keep getting an error of not being able to read a line.
What should my next step be?
What could be the reason for this bootloop as according to Odin the flash went well?
Thanks in advance

You might need to check "Repartition" in ODIN only, flash all 4 parts at the same time, use CSC and not HOME_CSC
Make sure you are using ODIN 3.13.1

Oh yea forgot the update...
I got it working, I think I unchecked repartition and auto reboot whilst flashing all of them together to get it working
So yea this is now solved
