925t stuck at boot screen after odin update to doj7

So guys, bought this phone used 3 days ago. The phone was rooted and the fingerprint scanner was not working giving some error. So I decided to get the phone returned back to stock.
I flashed the G925TUVU3DOJ7_G925TTMB3DOJ7_G925TUVU3DOJ7_HOME.tar file via odin 3.10.6. All files were successfully flashed with pass message but now i am stuck on the boot screen at s6 edge logo. I did a factory reset and wiped the cache but no luck.
The recovery shows an error of dm-verity verification failed... as well in the bottom. I can get the phone in download mode. The current binary is samsung official but in system status it still says Custom. I tried flashing G925TUVU2COF6_G925TTMB2COF6_G925TUVU2COF6_HOME.tar but it doesn't let me flash it as I read i cannot downgrade.
I have tried searching at different places but couldn't seem to find any appropriate solution as most of them are for cof6 or cof8 firmware. I would appreciate a lot if someone could guide me step-by-step procedure to get my phone working back.
Note: I think that the phone IMEI was also repaired as the IMEI on back glass and in the system does not match.
I also cannot get any assistance from t-mobile as I live in Pakistan. I could not attach shots as i have less than 10 posts so writing the status:
In download mode:
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G925T
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
FRP LOCK: OFF
Secure Download: Enabled
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x0301)
AP SWREV: B:3 K:2 S:2
Recovery error at the bottom:
dm-verity verification failed. . .
Need to check DRK first. . .

It sounds like there may be an issue with your IMEI. I think you should try and use Smart Switch on your PC to do an emergency recovery. It will completely wipe the phone and reset everything to how it should be.
Emergency recovery requires the serial number in order to proceed. You can get that by going into Download mode but before you hit Vol Up to continue hit Home instead. It will show IMEI and Serial Number (the bottom number).
Samsung Smart Switch for PC can be downloaded from Here. Install Smart Switch. Start up Smart Switch and click more in upper right corner. If you don't have the Samsung drivers installed you can install them from here. Or if you would like to reinstall them.
After you are done with drivers connect your phone to the PC and click more and click "Emergency software recovery and initialization" (the first option). It should ask for your serial number. enter it and it should start doing it's thing.
Hopefully this works for you and good luck.

Thanks for the fast reply. I flashed it using the smart switch software. The program completed successfully but still the same result. Stuck at boot logo and same dm-verity error in recovery

Hello , if you still facing this issue after flash full stock
try to write unikernel v8-002 (remember FRP LOCK = OFF )
It must work ,
i am sure after flash Unikernel is will work
post result if not work

Thanks alot @jayshaa. Finally booted up... Hats off to you man...!! :good:

Sorry to disturb again... Today when I restart the phone, I couldn't pass the boot screen as I gave me the error Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock. Frp lock turned on automatically and now I am again stuck at the boot screen. I again flashed the stock rom but the frp lock is still on. I couldn't flash the kernal as well because of this lock.
Someone please guide me to turn this frp lock off and get my phone working again.

Need to check DRK first. .
This error means at some point your efs probably was wiped meaning the drk was wiped... unless this is fixed the phone will boot loop everytime you update unless you flash a modified kernel...

So how do I fix that or turn frp lock off?

Anyone???

That can only be turned off via Developer Options in Settings. If you flashed a custom kernel then you cannot turn it off because you will boot loop. You must flash stock kernel. Or just reflash the stock firmware package.
After you get back to stock. get to developer options and turn off the FRP lock. Then you can flash away.

S4 mini I9195 Softbrick, bootloop, broken recovery, no ADB

Hi
I'm new here so sorry if anything I say is a bit strange~
As the thread title mentioned I got a softbricked Samsung S4 mini LTE GT-I9195.
The Recovery is unavailable showing the dead android "no command"
Normal booting leeds to a bootloop.
Only download mode is available so I started flashing a stock firmware to it (I9195XXUCNK4_I9195QXZCOA1_DBT) via OdIn giving PASS
Which helped nothing~
I took the risk flashing with PIT file - which it survived - still softbricked.
I also tried flashing stock recovery and custom recoverys to it- helps nothing.
Now I guess I have to flash a new bootloader to it but I have no clue...
Isn't a new bootloader part of the stock firmware I tried to flash to it
Do I need a special PIT file?
Still no recovery, no ADB and bootloop....
Please help
EDIT:
Well about ADB...
When I plug in the phone the device doesn't offer win7 a ADB device (in download mode)
I cannot access Android 4.4.2 due to the bootloop - so I cannot enable USB debugging~
The recovery isn't startable with "no command" - so I also cannot enable it there...
Is the a way to flash something with ADB to the device via Odin/download mode?

USB-JIG didn't help either
Well the USB-JIG started the phone in download mode
And instead of showing "ODIN MODE" it said "FACTORY MODE"
But it didn't start flashing or something...
Download mode is still available~
Any ideas?

Solved: Need latest stock image for SM-A505W, stuck in dnld mode "SW REV CHECK FAIL"

Solved: Need latest stock image for SM-A505W, stuck in dnld mode "SW REV CHECK FAIL"
Solved - See post below.
Hi all, got my A50 and decided to root it, all was going well, had twrp installed and couldnt get the OS to boot after booting back to twrp and choosing reboot recovery. Frustrated i powered down and let it boot normally - bad idea. So it boots normally and seems to have tripped knox, overwrote twrp and not boots to the exclamation mode.
I can get it into download mode, but every recovery image i have wont flash in twrp, the phone shows "SW REV. CHECK FAIL(BOOTLOADER) Device: 2, Binary: 1". Based on what i've read there are two fixes, one is to repack the tar file without some key image files. Seemingly it crashes at "boot.img", so i tried that with 7zip. Adding the "AP" back in without the img files that fail, just cause the next one to fail, they are all failing with this error. So i'm stuck. I think i need a newer recovery.img.lz4
Info about phone (from box)
Model: SM-A505W
Long: SMA505WZKA
SW: A505WVLU1ASE3
I did apply an update to the stock firmware before unlocking/rooting so thats probably the problem. I believe i need a newer recovery image please.

Solved - Flashing updated firmware worked, flashing old firmware doesn't work because the phone has some kind of rollback block (efuse likely).
FYI it turns out that the ASE3 is an older firmware and i need, all the sites to download suck MASSIVELY, but i found this for the newer firmware: Full Firmware A505WVLU2ASH2_A505WOYV2ASH2_9.0 BY Windows4Droid .zip: https://mega.nz/#!jlMgBYaA!1uC5J_4Gm-MKxFiFdvTqlpMA8DNt8tZFxG9kyk3v1WI
Here is ASE3 for anyone that wants the older one: https://mega.nz/#!TrozmCKZ!IRFpufwis7LF-ov8XYRTTvpKc8AlKUHvSAt6NSsWKTA
Hopefully it will work!

same
Did the exact same thing, thinking I am fubr now but I will attempt to find the right firmware same model and everything tried to root the phone

When boot in odin in does a message appear on the screen with red letters?

Hallo,
when I try a downgrade yes there is a message in red that appears notifying that the binary can’t be flashed..
But when I use binary 3 all went smoothly till the end and I get green signal in Odin, only phone ends up again in download mode.
Btw I have even bought the unique available demo firmware ( binary 1) on the market to flash it back to its former state, but it can’t be flashed coz I have upgraded the phone to binary 3. So I am looking for eventual workarounds to downgrade.
Regards

My A520F dead after flashing combination file in Odin

So phone was soft bricked.I couldn't get to the home.It was rebooting to odin mode(download mode) or bootlooping but i could not reboot phone to normal.So I decided to flash a custom rom in Odin.First I was getting fail beacuse of frp.And I also tried twrp recovery and it also failed.After trying download mode said "an error has occurred while updating device software" and i tried to fix this with SmartSwitch but that failed(when I was connecting my phone it said unsupported phone and i couldn't do anything).So I found unofficial variation which is FRP Hijacker.And it worked well.I could get back the normal downlad mode and also recovery mode.After this i tried again to flash rom.It was successfuly flashed.I thought it's done, but no.Phone was bootlooping again.I didn't know what to do.So I found on internet combination file for this phone and flashed it in odin.It failed after this i rebooted my phone and it showed again the "An error has occurred while updating device software".So I opened again FRP Hijacker and clicked to "SoftBrick fix" and after this my phone died.And now I can't turn on the phone,cant get to recovery or download Nothing!It also is not charging.
Could someone help me pls?I will be so thankful!!
