Hey,
Still a bit of a noob to the whole rooting process and navigating XDA forums, so I'm having trouble finding the information *I think* I should be looking for. Basically, my phone's just begun crashing periodically, multiple times a day: anything from Camera, Process System, Touchwiz Home Launcher, or Samsung Apps have "stopped working" / "not responding" before. Of course, my phone's warranty has expired, but my contract isn't up so an AT&T Store wont re-image it for me :crying:
Even I can tell, at this point, that it's either my OS that's failing, or it's my hardware. I figured the easiest way to test this would be to put some stable CyanogenMod on it.
The information I'm looking for is: "is this possible?"
AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4
SM N910A UCU2DOI2
Currently @ 5.1.1
Thanks for reading,
~Vita.
No it is NOT possible to use any form of custom firmware or to root this device. It has a locked bootloader that has yet to be cracked open and the future of that happening os very bleak to non existant.
As for reimaging the device go to the note 4 at&t general section on the forum and read up on using odin and the 5.1.1 image posted there it will wipe the phone and format yhe system and data partitions and reinstall it like a new phone just like at&t would do or the manufacturer if you sent it to them.
Good luck
Thanks for the response.
Sorry for the dumb question, but isn't Odin able to flash any firmware onto a device? The "locked bootloader" means that only the stock OS may be reinstalled? Why is this...
Also, it seems unlock progress is being made on the N910V. Maybe hope?
Thanks for mentioning Odin, I'll try re-imaging the phone.

Well the problem is the kernel the bootloader prevents the devs from using an unsecure kernel (one not created and signed by at&t) on the phone if one is used the phone stops boot and says it is an unsecure non at&t kernel and to take thenphone to at&t store.
Odin can only write the firmware versiom that is currently on this phone in this case it is 5.1.1 if you flash any other note 4 versoin such as 4.2.2 it will brick.
Sm-910a flash example
Update ver Official at&t 5.1.1 / currently on phone 5.0.1 or 5.1.1 = good
Update ver (downgrade)oficcial at&t 4.2.2 / currently on phone 5.0.1 or 5.1.1 = brick not good or odin fail
Update from another carrier such as tmobile or verizon for 910t 910v 910g = fail (do not attempt)
Until oir boot loader is unlocked there is nothing we can do to mod or use custom firmware on this phone any attempt leads to a brick requiring using odin to re-flash the latest firmware (5.1.1 at this time) in order to make the phone functional again.

So from what I understand, I could use Odin to flash the 4 files which correspond to the specific AT&T 5.1.1 SM-901A version of my phone (which is exactly what I have) to re-image the device and make it functional again. The problem is, I cannot find these devices on sammobile D:
Could someone direct me to these files? Or are they not out because AT&T sucks? Or, what.

I think so, I don't know for sure but we've been able to Odin from various 5.0 Lollipop releases back to KitKat so should be fine.
downgrading from 5.1.1 or 5.0.1 to kitkat is possible but with many many problem but form 5.1.1 to 5.0.1 i don't know maybe phone will stuck or boot loop
thanks finitetime for your reply
other question are there any news about root for 5.1.1 n910a

I am sure that you are referring to a sim unlock. A sim unlock and unlocked bootloader are two completely different entities. To flash a custom rom you will need to have your bootloader unlocked, which is something that a few of us are currently working on. Until then, no custom roms can be flashed on the att variant Note 4s. Take care
the boot loader says Qualcom secure boot : disabled ?
in the boot loader screen ?

Your phone is SIM UNLOCKED which has NOTHING to do with root, bootloader, or custom roms.

Sorry, was off the forum for the weekend. Spexwood was correct, that is sim unlock. Qualcom is for the sim IE network. Take care.
Root is possible btw
Root is possible if youre willing to dedicate 10-30 hours of repititive root fails
How?

Hello everyone,
According to this post i did install note FE rom on my note 7 sm-n930F.
I did not have any problem flashing my first n930f.
Unfortunately, for my second install, i stupidly FORGOT to enable OEM unlock when flashing TWRP. :crying::crying:
I continued to install the ROM without problem but after the first reboot, the phone is blocked with the message "custom binary (recovery) blocked by frp lock"
I can boot in download mode (power + volume down + home) so i tried to flash a N930F stock rom but it fails with the message "check fail : device : 2 binary : 1"
(I think this is due to the fact that the stock rom is Android 6 and the device's rom is Android 7).
I tried Emergency Device Recovery from SmartSwitch PC without success : the device is not recognized by SmartSwitch.
I do not know what to do, can someone help me unbrick this phone ?
Thank you for your help.
Same for me. I cant believe it! No solution here from XDA community!

not so simple...
unable to flash TWRP -> blocked by FRP lock
I finally found the right stock rom for my N-930F (N930FXXU2BPI7) with help from pvpaco (see here)
I had the same problem (forgot to toggle oem lock) just flash the stock firmware for your device and it will boot (using odin) if you had a Google account it may ask you to sign in again if not just set up the device toggle the oem switch and flash twrp
The problem no flashable available stock rom for Korean models S/L/K. All failed in Odin. I had also a frp on , I can't flash any custom file.

Hi Guys,
When trying to downgrade/flash below firmware via Odin I'm getting error:
SW REV. CHECK FAIL(BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1
Or if BL disabled following some recommendations:
KERNEL REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:2, BINARY:1
Current version: (got via OTA)
G960FXXU2BRG6
Service provider OXM_XEF_00_0025 ... XEF/XEF, XEO/DBT - but this has probably nothing to do with that.
Returning to:
DBT-G960FXXU1BRE5
History of the phone is that I've received it on Saturday (manufactured on May 21), dual SIM + SD Card was working, got notification about OTA, and did proceed (silly me), got message that "no downgrade" will be possible - thought that it is for normal user, not the one with Odin magic, though have a feeling it has something to do with that. It was unusual message though thought it is something new on S(, but not really blocking me to downgrade with Odin.
Is there any way to downgrade? I really need to do that as thanks to Samsung I cannot use dual SIM + SD Card, described here:

Make sure you're using ODIN 3.13.x
You cannot downgrade the bootloader you can only flash firmware with an equal or higher BL version
G960FXXU2BRG6 <<< BL version 2
Check in Download mode what version yours says

Many thanks, that makes sense. I do remember message prior OTA apply "you won't be able to downgrade" but thought it was meaning that normal user won't be able to downgrade unless Odin would be used. Tough luck.
The worst part is that this is the first "U2" version for S9, so there's no path for me.
One more question - when "BL" was deselected and I've left only AP, CP, CSC - it resulted in message:
KERNEL REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:2, BINARY:1
It is still in effort to downgrade the rest outside of BL, but does it seem I'm stuck on this firmware as the lowest on my phone now?
On technical side, these are all partitions on internal SDcard/memory. Why would it not be possible to overwrite it? Is it re-partitioning thing or something else? I'm trying to understand from where the limitation comes.
p.s. did some reading on bootloader process of Samsung and whilst it is clever and nice for Common Criteria, it should be possible to unlock it as in the past (Superboot tool). The good bootloader lecture is here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1742287618300409 (S7 based).

What are risks using that Odin version and pushing AP?
Should I try to push BL too?
Apologies if I'm overly cautious it is that I don't want to brick the phone.
Honestly, I'm a take your balls in your hand kind of guy.
I'm a computer technician and if I spent all my time wringing my hands being cautious I'd never get anything done.
It's pretty hard to HARD BRICK these phones as long as you don't go faffing around with the partitions option in Odin.
God I've brought mine to the brink of death and back again.
Just out of curiosity, do you have a way of taking a photo of your Odin/Download mode screen... I'll try to post mine.

Hi guys I'm having the same problem with kernel rev check fail.
I had a brand firmware and tried to make it no-brand, but something went wrong.
Now when trying to flash a no-brand firmware, Odin stops during system.img
What can I do? Do I have to reinstall the same branded old firmware that I had?
Thanks!

Just a thought - your non-brand might be of an older release than branded software. In worst case you're stuck on working branded soft?

Me too being the grab your balls by the hand person that likes to boldly go where no man has gone before, attempted the patch version of Odin on my s9 in an attempt to put the TMO firmware on to get RCS chat. Using BL AP CL and CSC all did not work. I got the same stupid message regarding the downgrade. I then tried AP and CSC alone. Same issue. Finally, I tried just CSC. It gave a similar error but it was difference in the sense that it says [cache]fused 2 > Binary 1.
It's super annoying that you can't move from u1 to u (unlocked to carrier) without having to do all this crap.
Hey all, dunno if you resolved the kernel error but I was getting the same thing on my S8 (SM-G950F) and ended up checking if anyone at the Samsung store could fix it (they could). Have a look at this post I wrote up, hopefully it's somewhat useful.

Same problem I got. No matter if I use modded or normal ODIN... Even if I do not flash Boot, I got the message Kernel Rev. check fail...
To me, this is almost criminal from Samsung... I pay 800 Euro for the phone and I like to run a different system. I think there is no law against using a Computer (which in fact it is) with an Operating system of my choice.
To me, a restriction of "liberty".

ODIN is a Samsung INTERNAL tool, you're not even meant to be using it
And you do have the freedom to run whatever OS you want, you have that choice the day you choose to buy a new phone, otherwise read the smallprint, pretty sure you agreed to Samsungs terms when you bought the phone
I don't get why people buy Samsung phones knowing how locked down they can be, knowing they don't run vanilla Android, knowing about KNOX, and then complain when they can't do anything with them.... if I wanted to mod my phone without any problems I wouldn't be buying Samsung
Anyway, honestly I accidentally updated my spare S9 to U2 forgetting it can't be rolled back and I had a little bit of trouble finding a firmware that ran fine with gravity box, but now I'm running a custom BRI3 rooted with magisk running gravity box where 99% of features work including lock screen security.
So unless the U2 bootloader is effecting you in some way... Does it matter if you can't roll back.
Well, the hardware of Samsung I actually do like.. But the software policy I do not.
For sure, never again I will buy Samsung

I am not an expert, but it sounds like you are trying to flash a bootloader that is an older version than the version 4 on your phone. I don't think you can downgrade the BL version. The fifth character from the end is the BL version. (e.g. G955USQU4CRE1) Also, you may need a newer version of ODIN.

Yes. There are a lot of software versions available. If you use Updato you can search by model number and service provider (listed as region on Updato. I was able to find one with a version 4 bootloader. Similar to your version, but CRE9 at the end. It is an oreo version. Your phone is a model SM-G-955U when you search there. It might take a long time to download. I have sometimes had luck speeding things up by trying to restart the download. Sometimes it just takes a long time. Be careful when you are flashing if you have any desire to go back to a previous version. I am not sure of the limitations.
Another thing you could try that might be easier for you is to go to the JRKruse ROM thread here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s8+/development/rom-t3771206 and use the instructions he has there to install the ROM. There is another rooted ROM that he has that may also work for you. He has instructions on what to do.
Hello, my galaxy s8 is stuck in rpmb provisioned and its boot looping, I can get to download mode, it doesn't say things such as fuse blown etc. How can I get out of the boot loop? Help is appreciated.
Did you find a fix? Im having a very similar problem. I don't see any stock roms with a v4 bootloader. The most recent seems to be a v3.
Fixed it the way Smithfolk said. I was using the combination rom FA70_G955USQU4ARE1 with a V4 bootloader. I used odin v3.13.1 and flashed verizion G955USQU4CRE9 from Sammobile including the bootloader and it fixed my phone.
Recently I rooted my S9 and installed Lineage OS but I didnt like it and decided to swap back to the stock OS. I used Frija to get the .tar.md5 files for Odin but once I select all the files and hit start the log in Odin loads up to system.img then stops and I get the SW REV. CHECK FAIL(BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 7. BINARY: 6 error on my phone. Any idea on how to fix this? I'd really appreciate some help as I'm going to be travelling soon and I need my phone for it and I'd prefer not to use Lineage OS. Thanks in advance.
Do you have an At&t branded phone? SM-G960U?
I am having a very similar problem. A customer came in and was having issues with device. I told them to back up, wipe, and update device. That didn't work so I tried a full flash with ODIN. Now I can't get the phone to boot at all and it says, "Secure Check Fail : Modem" and "Unauthorized software visit nearest AT&T blah, blah,..)
I think it is because AT&T has pushed out the latest update(OCT. 18th), but the Odin files are not out yet. According to:
https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tutorial.html#!/stepbystep/id/stepbystep_KM1253489?make=Samsung&model=SamsungG965U
G960USQS7CSI5 is the latest FW. If you google it, there are only four results.
Yep, the problem was the phone was on the latest FW. Newer firmware was just uploaded a few days ago.
I flashed:
G960USQU7CSJ2_G960UOYN7CSJ2_CHA
and now I'm booting again.
Your problem is that your firmware is too old. Basically, you are trying to downgrade your FW. The phone is basically saying, "Hey, I have bootloader 7, I won't let you install something lower than that."

^^^^ this ^^^^
the Odin error is telling you that youre trying to flash a revision of the bootloader than was last installed on the phone. to to sammobile.com/fimrwares and get the one with the correct bootloader for your specific phone and flash that.
also download the firmware with the frija tool or samfirm. trust me, its literallt 5x faster than a direct download from the site. The 5 min it takes to get samfirm up and running is worth it, believe me on that.
I may be new to this, But I just Flashed a SM-g960u, That Had Bootloader7 locked on it, When I would go into download mode I would see FRP ON, and this Firmware G960USQU7CSK6. So I downloaded a Combination Firmware file. Used Odin Patched, Flashed it there is a guide out there. Restarted into the Settings, Turned on Developer mode, USB Debugging, and Was able to change OEM-Software install. Then I was able to load this phone after, with G960USQS7CSI5 with ease My first flash and I had to bypass a FRP and a Bootloader lock. Now I should be able to flash this to the U1 version unlocked and be good! If you need any help I did just do this last night I can guide you in the right dirrection. Litterally I had no help from here as in asking questions I am pretty savy. So you need to make sure your Version has the "7" in the Same Place. Also after I enabled those things while in the phone before Flashing it I chose the Factory Reset from within, SO it erashed EVERYTHING except Download Mode and the Combination Firm Loaded. Meaning I should have been able to flash to anything I wanted

got no help here? how so? I see you got the info you needed to get the phone back up and running properly via asking about it here.
with regard to the bootloader version of 7 in your case, it is a very known thing that whatever bootloader version youre on, you cant go backwards from.
In either event, im very glad that you got it up and running!!

I may be new to this, But I just Flashed a SM-g960u, That Had Bootloader7 locked on it, When I would go into download mode I would see FRP ON, and this Firmware G960USQU7CSK6. So I downloaded a Combination Firmware file. Used Odin Patched, Flashed it there is a guide out there. Restarted into the Settings, Turned on Developer mode, USB Debugging, and Was able to change OEM-Software install. Then I was able to load this phone after, with G960USQS7CSI5 with ease My first flash and I had to bypass a FRP and a Bootloader lock. Now I should be able to flash this to the U1 version unlocked and be good! If you need any help I did just do this last night I can guide you in the right dirrection. Litterally I had no help from here as in asking questions I am pretty savy. So you need to make sure your Version has the "7" in the Same Place. Also after I enabled those things while in the phone before Flashing it I chose the Factory Reset from within, SO it erashed EVERYTHING except Download Mode and the Combination Firm Loaded. Meaning I should have been able to flash to anything I wanted

Ok so first you should post I'm your devices threads but that aside. Here's what's up. You can't downgrade the error shown is saying your device is on a bit 7 binary. Your trying to flash a bit 3 binary which isn't even 2 you need to find your respective firmware in a bit 7 or higher.

Like 99.9%. That's what that error is. The bootloader is blocking downgrade

yes, if you get a firmware version matching the one last installed on your device, itll go right thru and boot just fine. Goodlock is finally working on all modules for A10 as well. Maybe we will see more development occur with this shutdown going on. Let us know if you run into any trouble, the error you were getting is totally resolvable!
at the end I give up on it..! my internet 2 slow 4 go downloading & trying rom after rom.! i am from venezuela.

I have S20+ running Android 11 with U7 Binary. I tried downgrading to Androi 10 which has Binary U5. Now I have downloaded the Binary U5 file. But in some video, he is telling that you should download the Binary File with the same number as it is currently installed in your phone, which in my case is U7. So? Am I supposed to download U7 Combination Binary file and flash it in order to downgrade to Android 10
OR
Should I flash the U5 Combination File and flash the Android 10 AP, CSC, BL, HOME ???
Someone has Combination file to G960F with bootloader SF (Version 15)?
