Please help. I didn't root my phone, but it somehow rebooted to an loop error with message, CUSTOM BINARY BLOCKED BY FAP BLOCK. In the ODIN Mode it says:
DOWNLOAD SPEED: FAST
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N920A
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
FAP LOCK: ON
Secure Download: Enabled
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0 (0x000)
Sent the phone in to Samsung Tech, and they said the phone is rooted, didn't fix it and sent the broken phone back to me.
AT&T tech and Bestbuy Samsung Rep. could not reflash the phone with the stock firmware. They said the system allowed the firmware to be downloaded and flashed, but still rebooted to the same error. It could be because of my Google Account problem, or AT&T phone version don't allow customer to reflash it. I am stuck with a phone that is still under warranty, but no one wants to take the fault and no one can fix it for now.
At this point it sounds like the best thing to do is say you lost it and claim it on insurance. I personally have never seen that error so I don't know what exactly to tell you as far as a restore
Have you tried to flash stock with Odin yourself?

So I have a Sprint GS3 that I flashed to page plus, literally 1 day before they started running the Framily promotion that is $25 for a line, with no contract, and the kicker you can activate a phone you already own (just my luck). So now that it's flashed I'd like to unflash it at the end of the month, and reactivate it on Sprints network.
Prior to posting this thread, I've scoured the internet for different ways to unflash; and I've decided on this method bit.ly/S3Stock . It seems like the easiest way, me, being a noob, so I won't mess up the phone.
My problem is:
When I go into Download Mode on the GS3 it doesn't show the flashing? or do I just not know what I'm looking at? On the video Custom Binary says Yes and 1.
It says:
Odin mode
Product Name: SPH-L710
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable
Warranty Bit: 0
Bootloader AP SWREV: 1
I also installed a root checker, from google play, and it says the phone is not rooted? Does this mean that I can simply Factory Data Reset to remove the page plus settings?
I am running 4.3 in the android version, baseband is l710vpucmk3, hardware version is l710.14
In download mode it did not say anything about Knox, which was the warning on the bit.ly/s3stock link. Please let me know what I should do to get back to Sprint settings?
I really appreciate the insight!!!

My guess (and I am no expert) would you need to root the device, and if this phone originally was a sprint phone, I don't see why this would not work, download the newest odin and flash a custom recover. I recommend CWM or Philz Recovery, then flash the sprint modem which should get you back onto sprints network and remove the flashed modem for the service you have now. Again I'm not an expert so this might not work. Once you get rooted and have a custom recovery make a back up! This will save your but if anything goes wrong.

I was hoping since it was showing Samsung official in download mode I could just factory data reset. I'm afraid with all the multi step programs, files, I'll mess something up. Btw knox is on the phone. Doesn't give me the option to uninstall either...I might be better off paying someone who's comfortable using Odin and has an idea of what files they're looking at...
Hi,
i have a N7105 LTE with Firm N7105XXUFNE3 rooted by Gettoroot. Si i have root and KNOX is still untripped.
Since few days there´s a new update to N7105XXUFNI2. When i try OTA update the file is downloaded (seems only around 95MB) but when the phone restarts the update process will Show an error around 26%.
There´s just a Little Android laying on the back and a red warning sign telling there was an error.
After restart i still have root - but i´m told the system was manipulated and the update can´t be done.
I´m suggested to use KIES or visit a Samsung store.
Now the system Status changed to "custom" - but i´m still able to download the OTA update again and again. Only it won´t install directly.
Is there a way to make the update install proberly?
If it doesn´t have to be i would like not to Flash something or install KIES.
Would it work simply to unroot my stock firm and then run the update?
Please beware i´m a quite noob to this.
For Information:
Gettoroot is something similar to Towelroot - only it´s ran by adb Shell. I didn´t have to install anything - just use Gettoroot, let it work, reboot - and had root perrmissions.
In Download Mode i have that:

have you try to flash a custom recovery like twrp or cwm with odin ........
Hi guys, I'll admit I'm a noob, but I'm trying my best to understand the ins and outs of flashing ROMs. I recently purchased a used S4 SGH-M919. The problem is the phone has i337 AT&T firmware on it. (I'm pretty sure it's a stock ROM and not rooted). I need to find a way to use the Tmobile network on this phone, so I have been trying revert to stock by flashing the stock M919 ROM on the phone using odin. Odin repeatedly fails before the flash begins. Odin dislays "FAIL! (Auth)" and the phone displays message "SECURE CHECK FAILED : aboot". I have tried several different .tar.md5 firmware files from sammobile. I have tried several USB cables and every USB port on my PC. The phone isn't quite bricked, it still boots fine it's just the network unusable with my t-mobile sim and the at&t firmware.
Do I need to wipe the phone and do a kernel flash? I'm lost and any advice would be appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Ryan
pull out the battery and MAKE SURE the PHYSICAL sticker behind the battery says model SGH-M919 (not SGH-M919V) but exacly SGH-M919.
if that has been confirmed then download the ODIN image from sammobile
Download the latest M919UVUFOH3
install via odin using the PDA or AP slot depending what version of odin u have it will say PDA or AP.
btw: you are getting SECURE CHECK FAILED : aboot". error because you are either flashing wrong image or too old of a image and the boot wont allow it.
are you sure that it is not a stock I337 ? If it is, it would be much easier to just obtain the SIM unlock code to use it with T-Mobile, I337s are really difficult to root and the sim unlock code is free and takes less than 5 minutes on the at&t website

Thanks for the replies fellas. I am sure it's a stock SGH-M919. The sticker beneath the battery says so. I've already tried using the most recent firmware from sammobile (ending with OH3) with odin and I receive the same error no matter what. I've even tried multiple versions of odin and have used PDA or AP accordingly.
c_irie, It's not a stock i337, I've read about the bootloader issues and Loki regarding that model. I would really prefer to do a clean M919 flash, but do you think I could use a sim unlock code from at&t with my current situation?

seems like someone sold you a "hybrid S4" the casing with sticker of the m919 but the "motherboard" of a I337...
was probably a "fixer upper" normally from those shady mom and pop cell shops/ebay/craigslist. consider that you got yourself a sgh-i337 even tho the outside doesnt say so...the board inside matches that of a i337 i will gaurentee u.

Thank you for opening up a new realm of possibilities for me. I hadn't thought of that. Why would someone re-brand a i337? Do you think odin is failing because I have the wrong image for a i337?
Problem solved for now. I went ahead and assumed that it's actually an i337. I followed the suggestion above and requested an unlock code from at&t using the imei found in settings. I didn't think it would work, i figured the phone was stolen, but the code from at&t worked and I can use the t mobile network! thanks guys. I'm kind of bummed that it's an i337 since it will be difficult to root if i ever go down that path.
glad we where able to help you out. Sorry to hear that someone kinda scammed you and sold you the wrong phone. To be honest with you tmobile phones have a slightly higher resale value too...i hope you didnt pay the extra premium..esp since it was a fixer upper phone. well anyways glad you got it all figured out. btw: the att s4 on tmo is missing a band but you can possibly unlock it to have all the tmo bands.

Yeah it's definitely not the device I was hoping to receive. I've discovered a few issues. I haven't been able to use internet at all without wi-fi, and the mic doesn't work in calls for some reason so I use speaker phone. Other than that, it seems to be working very well.

if you have used a factory ODIN image and flashed it and you have all those problems then im sorry to say it was probably a "fixer upper" phone that wasnt fixed properly. sorry to hear you are having all those problems...that sux. i always thoroughly test new phones IN PERSON before i buy them. i do the sim card test, screen color test, mic test, speaker test, model number test. and a voice and data and wifi test.
installing tmobile on att version
f irst of all you have to have root second you need to install a custom recovery such as TWRP. then you need to download the Wicked V.10 zip.then boot into recovery mode white data cache partition and dalvik cache partition.actually install the zip file you downloaded for the wicked v10 Rom. But make sure download the tmobile version because it willautomatically change your CSC settings
maybes this will help
Ok first things first. You have to be rooted and already have a custom recovery installed like TWRP or CWM. If u aren't rooted then try the king root apk. Once u have root access then you can go to download mode on your phone. Most of the Phones the power button & volume down at the same time will take you to download mode you have to search on Xda for the custom recovery version that is for your phone model it also has to be the Odin compatible ".tar" file. I use Odin 3.9 just because it seems to work better but after u have everything I've listed the install Odin 3.9 on your computer. Once that is done u have to remember where the custom recovery u should have already downloaded is located. Right click on the odin icon and click run as administrator make sure that you click on the BL button because that is where you will place the custom recovery.tar file. when you click on the BL button it will open up a window where you can search for the custom recovery that you downloaded earlier once you find it click on it and it will automatically go to the BL box then you click Start and just let Odin finish doing what it has to do when it says complete unplug your cable from the computer out phone reboot your phone hold volume up that should take you to your custom recovery once you have your custom recovery installed you can backup your whole system install zip files custom roms. things of that nature I hope this helps feel free to msg me if u have problems
Hi their.
was wondering if anybody could help me or know somebody who mite be able to help me in some way or another.
I tried rooting my phone which is a galaxy s4 mini using this site with these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2364980. and it worked. but with problems connecting to my exsiting google account was saying couldn't establish a connection. so I repeated process this time I did step 10. bad choice as I didn't read it properly...... as for me I have the kitkat version and now at first it had a black screen....
my question really is could you or do you know anybody who has the original/stock s4mini firmware/software/rom. this is where im clueless. I have red people say im going to need to downgrade back to original to put it back on. ive looked everywhere online but to no avail.
ive been on to sammobile and downloaded every stock firmware their is for s4 mini gt-i9195. but none are working with my odid, they keep coming up failed.
