I was flashing with ODIN a new firmware (a newer one of what i had) with the correspondent files (BL, CP, AP, CSC) and this happened:
<ID:0/005> Receive Response from boot-loader
<ID:0/005> cache.img.ext4
<ID:0/005> odm.img.ext4
<ID:0/005> FAIL!
The whole process failed and it didn't finish the instalation.
After that the phone would say that there was an error during the instalation of the software and stay on that screen.
I decided to flash ONLY the AP file and it was successfull, but the phone is now stuck on a bootloop and won´t get pass the "powered by android" screen.
I flashed the BL again and it is successfull but it wont change a thing.
However if i flash the CSC or the HOME_CSC, it gives me the same error as before:
<ID:0/005> Receive Response from boot-loader
<ID:0/005> cache.img.ext4
<ID:0/005> odm.img.ext4
<ID:0/005> FAIL!
I've tried wiping the data partition, factory reset, and nothing.
Please help me. I've been trying to fix this for hours without a possible solution at sight.:crying::crying::crying:
Looking forward for any advice.
Regards!!
What model S9, and what firmware are you trying to flash?

I have a G9600. If i recall correctly, It came with G9600ZHU3ARI4 (september 28 2018, hong kong TGY) and i tried to install G9600ZHU3ARJ2 (november 2018, argentina ARO).

Are you using ODIN 3.13.1 ? Older versions won't work
There may be something I don't know about that model as I don't own it, so hopefully someone who does can chime in, but I would suggest trying another PC too

Yes. I've used Odin v3.13.1 and the patched version located here in the forums.
Just to be clear, i have the Duos version of the g9600, but i've read that it doesn't change anything when installing a new firmware.
I've downloaded the original firmware it came with and i'll try flashing that one to see if it comes back to life at least :/

I've successfully flashed the original firmware and the phone works now.
I don´t know if it was Odin, my computer, drivers, or whatever, but now it works.
The question is, this means that i should keep this firmware forever? I don't quite like a couple of things within it, such as the keyboard layout which is chinese one.
how can i get rid of that?
Thanks for the support, guys!!

If that is the latest firmware for that CSC (region) then you'll have to wait for a newer OTA to arrive if you can't use ODIN
Keyboard layout should be changeable from settings, or install a better keyboard as a lot of us do, "SwiftKey" keyboard and you can customise that how you like
g9600 user here to explain the teeny tiny problem you had, first, ARO csc is a part of the OWO code, and as far I can read in the TGY FW is SM-G9600/TGY/G9600ZHU3ARK1/G9600TGY3ARK1/G9600ZCU3ARK1/G9600ZHU3ARK1 while the ARO FW is SM-G9600/ARO/G9600ZHU3ARJ2/G9600OWO3ARJ1/G9600ZCU3ARJ2/G9600ZHU3ARJ2 the difference is the OWO part that doesn`t match and a I assume that's where the error is.
Long story short, stay with the TGY. Hope I helped you in some way
EDIT: it is possible, and worked just fine for me

Hi guys.
recently got a used s9, did all the updates (for security updates) and didnt even look, just kept updating and find myself on android P.
I've played around with it and found it less intuitive and pretty lacking in some regards. (and may possibly have some issues relating to the OS too; battery and phone)
software updates says:
Code:
current version: G960FXXXXU2CRLO / G960FOXXM2CRLO / G960FXXXU2CRLI
Security patch level: 1 January 2019
SM-G960F, Phone status: Official, baseband version G960FXXU2CRLI, Kernel version: 4.9.59-15076275, build verison: ppr1.180610.011.G960FXXU2CRLO
I'm wondering if it's possible to flash back to official Android O, while retaining untripped KNOX. (having KNOX in a usable/official status)
I've read online that it should be possible to do, but talk of using the "OEM unlocking" option has me weary.
I dont want to blindy follow a guide to find i've broken KNOX or have a brick.
some of you guys are pretty cluey. so i thought it be a good first place to ask.
cheers
Once you pass a certain bootloader baseband you can't downgrade.... So odds are your stuck on Pie

Hmm, thats what I'm afraid of.
The downgrade guide i mentioned was here:
https://techbeasts.com/downgrade-ga...xy_S9S9_Plus_to_Android_Oreo_from_Android_Pie
not sure how legit it is though.
I havent read anything on XDA on the forums here, hence my new topic.
Yes you can downgrade, just flash with ODIN as normal using CSC and not HOME_CSC
The bootloader thing is true but you can check here which version you have vs which version you want to flash
G960FXXU2CRLI <<< Version 2
Boot the phone into Download mode, look for (BL:1 or BL:2 or BL:3)
As long as you are not trying to flash a lower version BL you will be fine

I booted into download mode and read and reread the stuff there. Doesnt seem to mention "BL" anywhere unfortunately.
but it has "U2" in a lot of different places, so I'm guessing its BL2.
The previous 3 or 4 have the "U2" version string, but the direct previous firmware has "S2" instead, and also the firmware that is suggested to use. Any hint as to what that means or if it makes any difference?
Second; I'd just like to triple-confirm I wont break KNOX (I'm pretty sure it wont, so I should be fine, but better to check now and make a fool of myself, than be sorry later)
Third;
I couldnt find/get the files off of the recommended sammobile ( https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s9/SM-G960F/XSA/download/G960FXXS2BRJ6/245612/ ) as apparently they are not hosting the files right now, instead googled and found another source, but I'd like to be sure they are correct and aren't fake, so to speak. or wont compromise the integrity of the phone.

I've had a little google but the MD5 and SHA1 hashes dont really lead to anything in particular.
just googling the name of the files returns that they are also named similarly to the Slovenian firmware.
last;
according to http://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-G960F/XSA/doc.html which appears to be the release notes for this specific version of the S9, build number G960FXXS2BRJ6 was indeed the previous version
any further insight from anyone would be appreciated.
many thanks.

No you won't trip KNOX unless you flash something custom
It is in Download mode but says B rather than BL (First set of dark red text)
Files will be fine, no reason for anyone to "fake" a random firmware, and you cannot flash modded firmwares through Odin
DL it again from here if you are unsure
https://samfrew.com/model/SM-G960F/
G960FXXS2BRK3 is the November update Oreo, BRJ6 was from October

I found the latest version of ODIN around....
followed that guide I linked previously (without OEM unlock, as its not needed)
Installed the SAMSUNG usb drivers
Flashed the last OREO AP, BL, CP, and CSC
everything worked just fine.
running now great.
Thus ends my journey,
I hope Pie improves in the future.

Good to hear, for future reference, you usually don't need to install any separate drivers, they are installed automatically by Windows when you first connect your phone to the PC USB

It wasnt being picked up at first, and I couldn't get it recognised in ODIN. one of my tutorials mentioned the SAMSUNG drivers, and once I had installed them it was picked up instantly.
But I agree with you, it should have been fine.

You don't have to flash the firmware for your region if there is a later one for another region, for example BTU (United Kingdom) has a newer Oreo build as I mentioned above
Flash using HOME_CSC to keep data and csc as they are
Another advantage of doing this is you cannot receive OTA updates when CSC and firmware region do not match, so you would not get update notifications and would be forever on that Oreo firmware
The day you want Pie again, flash the correct region with Odin

What was the bootloader version of the Android 8 vs the version you had on Pie? Did you downgrade the bootloader as well?

Hello,
I am trying to flash the newest XEF (France) SM-T830 firmware to by XEZ (Czech Republic) Tab S4 SM-T830 device, and I need a specific, fool-prood advice on how to configure the ODIN. I have done the following so far:
- Downloaded the firmware via Frija, the filename is SM-T830_1_20190409132827_lu4c5n9rxi_fac.zip
- Downloaded the latest unmodded Odin (v. 3.13.2), if I need other version, please advice which one.
- Unpacked the firmware zip archive, it contains the following four files:
AP_T830XXU2BSD1_CL15659493_QB23022378_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS9.tar.md5
BL_T830XXU2BSD1_CL15659493_QB23022378_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CSC_OMC_OXM_T830OXM2BSD1_CL15659493_QB23022378_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_OMC_OXM_T830OXM2BSD1_CL15659493_QB23022378_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
The default enabled options enabled in Odin are: Autoreboot and F. Reset Time, default disabled Odin options are Nand Erase, Repartition, Flashlock (DeviceInfo is greyed out).
My questions are:
1) What files go to which ODIN config fields (BL, AP, CP, CSC, USERDATA)? BL and AP are obvious, but the rest is not.
2) Which options should be enabled and which disabled? Is it okay to leave the default ones as described above?
3) Is there anything I should know or be wary of before starting the process?
Thank you for any relevant information in advance. Please don't bother with lectures or insults, I am interested only in constructive, helpful advice that will safely guide me through the process. I am not aspiring to be an Android hacker, I just want to flash this one firmware one time.

Leave odin settings how they are. AP to AP BL to BL CP is not needed it's for LTE models and CSC will wipe your device HOME CSC will keep the data.

I used frija download and then unzipped it, only used ap, bl, csc (home csc may be used to keep data, but I always start fresh) and then I let the patched Odin do its thing walked away 10 minutes later

good luck getting the OG firmware for a demo unit. I have a S7 and S7 edge demo units and theyre finicky. The edge took the g935f firmware just fine and works perfectly. The flat is still being a pain in my as$

Try it again with the exact same stuff but on a different computer and even a different cable, also a fresh download of the firmware. Use the frija tool to download the firmware like literally 4 times faster than from sammobile ditectly

Thanks... frija tool yup i came across this tool a few weeks ago. I del;eted the tool because at the time it did not have the Sm-G965XU firmware. For all the troubles that i am having could of been prevented if i had just followed some tutorials on youtube on how to remove the demo screen saver and limitation on 70% charging the phone. I have the receipt still and contacted the cellphone store the same day but because i formatted the phone the warranty for 3 months was void
I was fully aware before purchasing the phone by the store manager whom i know that this particular phone only can be used over wifi for that reason is why i was getting it for only 200.00$ due to the fact that it has no modem or antenna minus a few other things. I just wanted a phone so that when im in bed i can listen to the radio and also because it has a good camera i was planing on taking photos and videos of my cats. Only 5 minutes after arriving at home I was stupid and compulsive reformatted the phone with firmware downloaded from online to my pc with odin and ever since October 1st its been UN-usable

do you think the firmware that worked for you could possibly work for me even though mine is 2 generations ahead, i am only guessing because i know with computers you can erase everything on the hard drive and reformat it with Windows, LINUX etc.....

well, there are only 3 versions of the phone. Theres the Exynos, G965U snapdragons and the 9650 snapdragons, so one of the GSI image sets has to work. Unless they did some trickery with the bootloader to make it to where it can only accept a development bootloader or something like that. If thats the case, then youre gonna be on a needle in a haystack chase

In order to fix this issue you will need to get and flash the original stock LDU modem [all other parts of the rom i believe you can use any firmware that is compatible with G965U or G960U]
I found a website that claims to have this file, I have not tested it so i cannot vouch for it to solve the problem- see link
S9 plus - https://firmware.gem-flash.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=file&id=73412
S9 - https://firmware.gem-flash.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=file&id=73406
the way I removed the demo rom from my S9 was that i flashed a rom i found that does not touch the modem, all other features work including fingerprint, 100% charge, removed all bloatware. basically functions as regular s9 minus the cell capability. Interestingly it "repaired the IMEI" and now my S9 has an IMEI# but it wont recognize any sim cards.
here is the link www.murk.pw/G960XU_CONVERT_TO_G960U_8.0_U1.rar
NOTE: before you lash any rom on LDU you must deactivate the demo app on the device, only after you have deactivated the demo app should you flash this or any rom, otherwise you will get and MDM lock.
The only other way I know how to get the "original modem" from a LDU would be to use easyjtag box to copy the original modem partition on a non-flashed/original rom LDU. and then flash that file on your "problem" LDU, this should fix your issue, as the incorrect modem is triggering the knox or your device.
let us know if this info helped.

Are you able to send us your complete Samsung S9+ Rom with everything on it because mine got screwed trying to install a different firmware so I really need the original firmware.
70 % charge limit

Thanks... frija tool yup i came across this tool a few weeks ago. I del;eted the tool because at the time it did not have the Sm-G965XU firmware. For all the troubles that i am having could of been prevented if i had just followed some tutorials on youtube on how to remove the demo screen saver and limitation on 70% charging the phone. I have the receipt still and contacted the cellphone store the same day but because i formatted the phone the warranty for 3 months was void

Hi just bought a Samsung Tab A 2019 LDU on ebay, every function is fine apart from 70 percent charge limitation, can you please let me know how to remove this. Thanks
I'm using Samsung Note 10+
Model number SCV45, a Japanese variant with a name tag "au" & has the Snapdragon processor, not Exynos.
I want to flash the stock Firmware again.
I have visited SamMobile website to download the firmware of Note 10+. But there are lots of model number available like -
SM-N975F
SM-N975U
SM-N975U1
SM-N975W
SM-N9760
SM-N976B
SM-N976N
SM-N976Q.... so on.
But i didn't found "SCV45" model number.
As far as I know, SM-N975U, SM-N975U1 is for USA region with Snapdragon variant & SM-N975W is for canda region, also with Snapdragon.
If I flash any of the firmware of USA or Canada variant on my Japanese variant device through Odin, is there will be a problem. I have no idea about that as I'm a new user of Samsung. I have always used OnePlus. So I don't have enough knowledge about Samsung firmware.
Please let me know about the fact.

Thanks a lot brother.
But actually, I want to try out US region firmware on my device. So I'm asking, is there any problem if I flashed
SM-N975U or SM-N975U1 firmware? What will happen if I do so?
I need a clear idea about that, because I don't have enough knowledge about Samsung firmware & also I don't want my device turn into a bricked device.
Hope, I will get a clear idea from this XDA forum about that.
maybe your device is rooted or there is a mixed firmware so coming back to original firmware is not without risk
can you post :
- device version:
on dialer : *#1234# or *#12580*369#
Here is the Device Version that you want
Actually today I tried to add a edu mail account on google and it's showing that "Can't create a working profile, here is what error message I got.
I have checked, I don't have root access. And I also running stock Firmware as I got OTA update from Samsung for One UI. So I don't know what is the actual problem. That's why I want to shift from current firmware to USA region firmware.
But I am in a doubt as I don't have enough knowledge about that.
you can't flash a N970U or U1 full firmware
maybe only the CSC part if it work but at your own risk
I believe you can try to flash some completely other version, but no one can be sure if it will work.
I would suggest to have a spare Japan OFW to reflash if anything goes wrong.
Your latest FW according to samfirm should be -> SCV45 -> Region KDI
Version: SCV45KDU1DVC3/SCV45QDI1DVC3/SCV45KDU1DVC3/SCV45KDU1DVC3

Can you tell me about the CSC part? Why you recommend this one only? What about AP, BL & rest?

I know it's hard to find someone who has tried out what I asked for. I don't know whether it will work or not. But I just want to make sure that after flashing a different region firmware, it should not become a hard brick device.
If something goes wrong, at least I flash the SCV45, Japan variant firmware again & everything turns to a normal state as it is running now.
So should I proceed with SM-N975U, USA variant firmware? Will it gonna make my device hard brick? Can I come back to normal state by flashing SCV45 KDI firmware which is mentioned by you?
I need some suggestions. Nobody is answering

I would suggest you not to flash bootloader if possible. Everything else can be dealt with if bricked.

I would personally look for the model, which is the most similar to the japan one and just... pray while flashing

and also, dont forget to flash the "CSC" file, not the "home_CSC" to change the region. (the home_CSC doesn't change CSC and leaves your apps and other stuff intact. On the other hand, the CSC file wipes everything and changes the region.)

I am too much grateful to brother for your suggestions what I actually expected for.
I will follow all your instructions.
I will flash the "CSC" file only. Thanks for let me clear about this thing.
I have just a little confusion about what you have told above.
You suggest me not to flash bootloader. Can you please give me a clear idea how can I skip it or at what step, I should not flash the bootloader? I have just this confusion.

Well... You have to flash through ODIN.
So. In the ODIN you have several options on what to do (what to flash). When you download the FIRMWARE you will have to decompress it. there will be different files -> BL (Bootloader - BL), PDA (the firmware - AP), PHONE (modem and stuff - CP) and CSC (vendor or region specific info).
Firstly I would try to flash only AP + CP + CSC. Which means Firmware + Phone + CSC. Be sure to flash the same version of Android as you have. In that case it should... maybe... probably work the same. If you have bootloader from Android 11 and you try to flash Android 11 from another version, it should work theoretically....
But if you try to flash eg. Android 12 over Android 11 it won't work because the Android 12 uses different bootloader and you need to update it.
It would be most desired to flash the bootloader also. But my suggestion for you is to try flash different version without the bootloader (if it can be done). Because if you don't screw up the bootloader, you will be always able to boot to bootloader a flash back the original firmware.
I don't have the knowledge to tell you, that if you flash USA version of bootloader to the JAPAN version of bootloader that it will work. It probably should, but I believe, noone can answer that and it's just that you will have to try it.
I believe that the ODIN will tell you that you are trying to flash firmware from completely different device and if you are sure to do that.
So again:
1) download firmware from different location with the same android version
2) decompress the firmware
3) in the ODIN -> add only AP, CP, CSC (don't add the bootloader)
4) try to flash!
If it doesn't work, you can try even to flash the bootloader, but I'm a bit worried about that one....
I am highly grateful to you as you have explained the whole thing so clearly. Now I understand all the steps that I need to do. Thank you so much for clearing up the matter in so much detail. Now I can proceed.
I will try as per your suggestion. Let's see what happened.
Thanks again.
bootloader is in AP !

Then what should I do?
before flashing a part of firmware , i think it's better to know more about root
i'm not familiar with root and my lastest rooted device is a galaxy S6
why do you want to change the firmware ?

I have checked and I don't have any root access. I have told you why I actually want to change the firmware in some previous reply.
Here I am mentioning the whole problem again for your better knowledge.
Actually yesterday, I tried to add an edu mail account on google and it's showing that "Can't create a working profile", here is what error message I got.
I am running on stock official Firmware, I confirmed that as I got OTA update from Samsung for One UI. So I'm not using any custom OS.
But I don't know why it's showing that I am using a custom OS . That's why I want to shift from current firmware to USA region firmware to check whether the Japanese region firmware has issue or not.
But I am in a doubt as I don't have enough knowledge about switching from one region to another region firmware in Samsung devices.
I hope you can understand, though my English is not great
