A3 (2017) Can´t flash stock rom with Odin. Bootloader problem??? - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Hello,
I have a question about flashing stock rom.
On my phone the installed firmware is PDA: A320FXXU3BRA1 (Russia, Android 7.0)
Now I want to install PDA: A320FXXU2BQI3 (Emirates, Android 7.0)
But it doesn't work with Odin.
Has anyone an idea why I have problems to flash this firmware? Maybe it is a problem of the bootloader but I don't know exactly.
How do I know which firmware has which Bootloader?
Thanks a lot

Please provide the errors that pop up in your Odin client and if you see any errors in the screen of download mode ... Like if something new appears

install without the BL file

You're trying to flash an U2 firmware over U3, which is a downgrade of binary version. The secure bootloader won't allow it.
You need an U3 firmware, or try flash U2 without BL & CP parts.

Thank you so much caiquess95 & tys0n.
That works perfect.
When I flashed the U2 Firmware without the BL & CP File is it after that possible to flash the phone a second time again with all the files (AP, BL, CP, CSC)?

[Q] flashing via ODIN 3.09 related question

So I have a small problem and few questions.
I've bought S4mini in Poland where i live, but with SEB (Baltic) region firmware.
when I type in phone *#1234# I get:
AP: i9195XXUAMG8
CP: i9195XXUAMG8
CSC: I91950XXAMG4
Question no. 1 - what does it mean, and shouldn't be there 3x MG8 ?
Question no. 2 - when I flash with Odin 3.09 firmware for polish region (XEO) from Samsung-Updates.com, Kies will identify my phone firmware as polish XEO , and I will be able to recieve OTA from my region and flash it normally?
Question no. 3 - on Samsung-Updates.com is big firmware file and separatly kernel file. I should flash both or the kernell is also includet in md5 firmware file? If not, haw to flash only kernel in Odin? - the same procedure as firmware?
I'm doing this, because I'm experiencing big battery drain in standby mode, and it seems like its radio related. When this won't help I'll flash CM 10.1 as my last solution.
thanks in advance
ps. this is my wifes phone, so if I broke it she will kill me

Rooted with this method - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo38Fy-GYuU
I did exactly as the video says (I have done it before and worked fine) and After getting root I cant install custom ROMS.
It doesnt give me any error message, it just stays on the boot screen.
any other info needed?

You did not follow the instructions on that video very well at all.
In the video it shows the stock Samsung M919 MDL rom and you
flashed or are trying to flash the MK5 rom which is not the stock
official MDL rom for the Tmobile MDL M919 phone.
You need to go to http://SamMobile.com and download the official
stock MDL M919 firmware and Odin flash it in the PDA slot of odin.
Then you need to root the phone by odin flashing the cf-autoroot.
Once that's done you need to flash a custom recovery like TWRP
or CWM.

So your device is the M919N or V and not the standard US T-Mobile M919?

[Q] Repack stock firmware with mj5 bootloader

Hello,
I want to replace the boot loader from the stock firmware file with mj5 boot loader, so I can flash using PC Odin (don't want to use mobile Odin).
In the flashable mj5 boot loader I see 3 files: param.bin, sboot.bin and tz.img
Do I need to copy only the sboot.bin and repack the stock firmware (ignoring the param.bin and tz.img)?
Or what is the right way to flash the latest firmware without changing the bootloader using pc Odin?
Thank you!
What is the right way to flash any stock firmware and keep MJ5 bootloader using pc Odin?
bump
This is the same question that I would like to ask. Or one of them.
I am now on mj5 bootloader running custom 4.4.3 ROM (Dr.Ketan V14). I'd like to go for stock kitkat, but keep the mj5? If I flash the official 4.4.3 firmware with ODIN, I will also flash the new know bootloader right? Is it enough to flash the official firmware and bootloader ath the same time in ODIN? Will this result with official 4.4.3 with mj5 bootloader and without knox? Will I be able to root it?
Thanks,
Cheers,
estu

Odin Cannot Flash Stock Firmware

Hello, I am using Odin v3.13.3
My phone was running with latest Ukraine firmware which is:
A705FNXXU3ASJ3 ap
A705FNXXU3ASJ3 bl
A705FNXXU3ASH1 cp
A705FNOXM3ASJ3 csc
Today I wanted to format it and decided to do it via Odin. But it stuck at system.img. So I tried to flash the firmware which was just before the newest one. And Odin flashed it with success.
I also had the same problem when I tried to install that older firmware a few months ago till I found Odin with version 3.13.3
So, What do I need to do, I couldn't find a newer Odin. Is there any other problem. How can I flash the latest firmware via Odin?
Thanks ^^
where is home csc,there is only 4 but must have 5 to flash...

It's same as csc, if you flash home csc it doesn't wipe. If you flash only CSC, it wipes your phone. You select one of them, you can't flash both.
And as you see, I succesfully flashed an older firmware. The problem is that odin can't flash the newest firmware.

How to get update.zip for stock firmware update via TWRP

Hi,
I am running stock Android 9.0 firmware on my Samsung Galaxy S9 (SM-G950F) with TWRP recovery and Magisk.
I want to update my firmware to a newer stock Android 9.0 firmware by flashing it as update.zip in TWRP, without formatting data.
I have downloaded the ODIN flashable firmware from sammobile, but this is not a TWRP flashable zip.
Where do I get an update.zip or how can I genereate it?
Thanks,
Stefan

uhm... wut? You cant do what youre asking. Youll have to get a compiled ROM and flash it. I dont have a rootable version of the S9, so im not familiar with the ROMs that are available, but are there not any 9.0 ROMs you can flash?
Actually, I would also switch to an already compiled ROM, if it wold be possible to do without wiping the data partition. But all ROMs have this as a prerequisite, if you switch to them from a stock ROM.
I will probably try to flash the stock firmware via ODIN with Home_CSC, although this is riskier than flashing the firmware via TWRP.
A better way, as I understand would be to get a Samsung OTA firmware file. Since https://firmware.science is down, does someone know an alternative?

you dont flash firmware in TWRP, just ROMs. And if you flash a deodexed stock ROM that has the same base as yours, you shouldnt need to wipe
Flashing a deodexed stock ROM sounds good. By same base do you mean the baseband version (G950FXXU4CRKB in my case) or the build number (R16NW.G950FXXS4CRLB)?
