Bricked after phone update? - Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers

My A70 just bricked itself after an update. Now it's on download mode with 'Hash of data does does not match digest in descriptor.[2nd] (3)'
Is there any way to download the firmware quicker than 15kb/s from sammobile and at least fix it without losing all of my data? I haven't got a back up and I have thousands of music files and photos.
I'm not rooted as I kept getting banned from snapchat, I believe the OEM lock was off.

Try a tool called Frija to download de firmware you want. When i have these problem, i lost all my data, and my phone dont let me downgrade it ,so you must flash the same or a newer version of the firmware. You must try to look how to flash the firmware without losing data on your own.
Good Luck.

Thank you man, in the end I stuck with the long download and had a HOME_CSC which allowed me to keep everything as it was the same firmware version.

Place your cell in Download mode, then use Odin to insert the official android 4.3 package.

Start up Kies (no cellphone connected), then go to Tools / Firmware Upgrade
It will ask you for the model number, so put that in.
Then it will ask you for either the serial number or MEID, so put that in, too.
Then it should download a big-ass android package (around 1.5 gigabytes).
After the package is decrypted, copy it from the temp directory to some safe place on your local hard drive.
Use Odin in Download Mode to install this package.
The package should end with .tar.md5
If you accepted the official OTA 4.3 update, and you tried to revert your bootloader back to before KNOX... you're lucky since that should have completely hard-bricked your phone. I think, given to your description and assuming you've got the KNOX bootloader now, your best bet would be to try to repair the install by doing what I think is referred to as a "dirty" flash... which basically means you don't format or wipe your data before you attempt another installation of the same version.
I don't know for sure though, so don't take my word without someone who knows more verifying or refuting this.
Good luck, I'll be interested in seeing what you wind up working out.

I downloaded the mk3 modem, and flashed it in odin, it fixed the softbrick. i rooted it with cf-auto and it went through no issue. disabled knox no problem, and now got cwm working.

Second Hand Note II, cannot get cellular data

I apologize if i am not as clear in this post as I need to be. My dad tried to root his note 2 sgh i371 using odin but said that once he did this, he was unable to access the internet outside of connecting to wifi, he could not get any cellular data. Because of this issue, he tried to then un-root his phone by flashing 4.1.2 stock rom. Unfortunately, the issue of not being able to get cellular data persists. In his frustration, my dad bought a note 3 and gave his note 2 to me saying that if I could fix it I could keep it. This is my first android and I would like to make it my primary phone if possible. what I would like to simply to reset the phone to factory default settings by flashing the latest stock rom for the phone. I have Odin, I was hoping that someone could tell me where I could get the latest stock rom and, if they believed that flashing it would fix the cellular data issue. I do not believe my dad made a backup at all. Thank you in advance.

Sammobile has all the stock firmwares for our phones, check there. Also check in about phone to see what it says, if it says Baseband unknown, then the EFS folder (and subsequently IMEI #, etc) have been corrupted. It's possible flashing the latest stock firmware will fix it (it includes a new modem and all), so try that first.

Thank you very much for the advice. I am downloading the firmware now. baseband version is showing i317ucama4. Right now the phone is not activated with AT&T, is there a way I could test if I will be able to get cellular data before going to AT&T and activating it?

Well you're baseband is good. Just get a little cheap prepaid sim card for testing purposes. The stock firmware should fix anything in the modem or system that could have been corrupted... So flash that and have a cheap at&t Sim handy for testing.
Just use your father's sim card. Either it connects to the GSM network or it doesn't.

I attempted to flash the stock rom via odin v. 307 but I get a failed message. The phone shows I have a custom binary download (12 counts), official Samsung binar but, my system status is custom and my knox warranty is void: 1. Then there is a red message stating "unsupported version" at the bottom. The date for the stock rom was Jan 2013 AT&T, US on the sammobile site. I can no longer boot into the phone's OS, I am stuck in download mode until I manually restart and then it displays a message that I need to connect to Kies recovery. Thank you for the help so far, Any chance I can salvage this phone still? I did try going into Kies, but it cannot connect with my phone for some reason?

Unfortunately, I got the phone when I was visiting home, I currently live a few states away from him. It would definitely make things much simpler if I didn't right now though.

It sounds like the phone was updated previously to either 4.3 or 4.4.2, which have Knox and that pesky counter. Technically you can't directly downgrade, so be sure you're downloading firmware that is 4.3 or higher. I didn't realize sammobile only went to MA4 for US AT&T. (In a pinch you can use Canadian firmware, but we have other links for stock firmware). Also, don't worry too much about Kies. It can be helpful, but honestly I could never get my note 2 recognized by kies either.
When I get back from taking my kids to school, I'll gather some links that will help you revive this phone Links below:
@GreatGrizzwald:
More recent links to stock firmware: STOCK PACKAGES TO MK6 This is LJ2 (4.1.2), MK6 (4.3) and up. He's got all the stock firmwares, available for flashing either in recovery on via odin. I've highlighted the one I would use in the attached screenshot (MK6- ODIN)
He also has a thread for NE5 (The latest firmware, 4.4.2) HERE
So if MK6 doesn't work, try NE5. One of those two has to work. You're dad already updated to either 4.3 or 4.4.2, I don't know which so start with 4.3 (MK6) and if it doesn't work try 4.4.2 (NE5)
On those two threads, he has a TON of links that will be helpful to you in getting back to stock also.
And here's a reference page with some useful links: One Stop Shop
This one is dedicated to downgrading back to LJ2 (4.1.2) from 4.3+, it MIGHT come in handy for you: Downgrade Instructions
If you have trouble with the stock firmware, you can also try Chainfire's CF Auto Root. It's stock firmware but it's rooted. Try the other firmwares by Zen Arcade first though CF AUTO ROOT
We'll get it going for you The stock firmware will re-flash the modem and all the configuration files so you're data should work again. Then you can do whatever you want, root, recovery, flash other stuff, or leave it stock. You got this

Also you have to figure out if it's software or hardware. I'm inclined to believe it's software so I think if you get it back to stock you'll be good. If it was hardware, it wouldn't even recognize a sim being inserted (recently repaired an htc one mini with this problem, it needed a new Sim tray, thankfully it was only $20).
But it sounds more like a bad flash corrupted some of those important files and configurations controlling data connections, it's all good, if it's software it can definitely be fixed. If it were hardware it could still be fixed it would just be a bit more time consuming.
One more thing, after you flash the stock firmware, and you have a sim card to test with, make sure your apn settings are correct for whichever carrier you're using. If the apn is wrong, or there is no apn listed, it won't connect. If you need assistance with that, let me know.

No problem, I know how much of a pain it can be when things just don't seem to be working. But you have all the resources you need now and I'm gonna talk to my friend who runs the one-stop shop page to see if he will update it and add some of these resources to make it easier for you, and others with similar problems, to find what they need. Good luck!

Hey, I was able to flash the stock rom you recommended, everything is working fine. Took the phone to AT&T and got a new sim card, everything seems to be working perfectly. Thank you again for all your assistance. could not have done this without your help.

If I can ask one more question, the phone keeps trying to download and install a software update however, it is unable to complete the update. Could this be because my counter was tripped? or could I be missing something that I should have flashed along with the stock firmware?

There are a few reasons it won't flash. If it still says custom in download mode, for instance, from when your dad tried to root it. You can check in your about phone section to see if it says modified or official. It should say official there but when you're in download mode it will tell you your status:custom.
Something like
Model : SGH-i317
Binary count:
Firmware: Samsung official
Status: Custom (it should say official to receive OTA)
Knox warranty bit: 0x1 (from where your dad tried to root)
^Either of those last two can prevent an OTA from completing. The update checks for certain things and then continues or rejects based on those checks.
Also (and this shouldn't apply to you) if you have a custom recovery installed or you've rooted and removed pre-installed apps, it won't flash. Check those things and your OTA should work. If it still doesn't, you can download the ne5 firmware I linked you to before. That's official 4.4.2 firmware and it will update you to the latest via Odin if you can't take the OTA for whatever reason.
The firmware you flashed should have taken everything back to stock for you, but it wouldn't really reset the Knox counter & custom status... and that very well could would an OTA. It seems it does anyway, so just update yourself with Odin.
Lastly, if you really want to reset completely, and be able to OTA, you can do that downgrade method I linked before to completely reset your phone and allow you receive OTAs again. (It would take you ALL the way back to 4.1.2 and you would OTA back to 4.3-4.4.2. Personally, I wouldn't do all that unless I planned to sell it, because the firmwares that are released for OTAs are usually available on here to flash with Odin within a day of release, so you'll always be able to have the latest firmware regardless.
Hope that helps you didn't miss anything, it's just the nature of the OTA.
---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------
Edited to add, you can also go about it another way: root it and use triangle away to reset your custom status & flash counter and then reflash the same firmware you did yesterday. Then you should be able to OTA. (Although I'm not 100% on whether or not the Knox counter will interfere with the OTA update, I think it's just the flash counter that trips it).
And if you want the OTA notice to stop completely, you can root it and turn off the notifications entirely. I wasn't sure on whether you wanted to take the update or not... if you do, I'd just update with the latest via Odin. It's the simplest way to update and you wouldn't have any issues or surprises that people tend to get with OTAs.

Awesome, that makes a lot more sense now. Thanks again.
Hey I forgot you don't have custom recovery. Anyway, I sent you PMs,and you can do a search of this very forum- use the search term "update" or "ota" and you will find a LOT of threads on boot failures after OTA. Most people got their phones back.
If you can't get into DL mode (Vol-, Home, Power), try getting into the stock recovery (Vol+, Home, Power) because you should/could be able to factory reset the device from there. Also hold the button combo longer than usual. If one recovery option (DL mode) isn't working, than theoretically the other should still be accessible, through which you can adb sideload to the device or try factory reset. I know it's frustrating, but you're not the first nor the last to have an OTA go wrong ;/ We'll get ya back up & running.
You're not the only one in trouble after that update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2-att/help/todays-update-soft-bricked-phone-t2939649

*time sensitive* trying to flash

I am trying to re flash the firmware on my Google pixel XL... It's already completely stock but my WiFi sucks and Verizon will only give me a refurbished phone and I'm paying almost a thousand dollars! I'm hoping flashing the firmware will fix it....a developers site told me how but a few other sites say I must unlock the bootloader first...I just want to know if I need to unlock the bootloader or not to flash the firmware... Please help!
1. You DO need an unlocked bootloader to flash stock firmware. 2. It likely wouldn't fix your issue.

If it's a VZW version, you can not unlock the bootloader. But you can ADB sideload the latest security update if you haven't already taken the June OTA. Probably won't cure your problem, but it's worth a try. Also, you can try a factory reset first.

[G930U] FEB-2019 - Official Stock Firmware OREO for Unlocked S7 (G930UUEU9CSA3)

[Info]
Make sure to flash with Odin3 v3.13.1.
I'd tried 3.12.x and had no luck. :silly:
Was able to flash my S7 from Verizon to unlocked with this.
Flashing with HOME_CSC will wipe your phone, only do this if you want a clean install.
The non-home CSC should leave all the user files untouched.
I've uploaded this because updato was miserably slow,
just don't want others to jump through as many hoops as I did to get it.
Good luck and thanks for stopping by! :fingers-crossed:

Should work just fine
Nice work...
Installed this with all tools in thread. Appears to take the image, updates Android to 32% then shows "Erasing". Reboots, says something about rebooting for Sim Updates, does this for a few mins. Then updates Android apps and boom, new stock phone no provider junk on it. Very nice. If I find any issues after the phone setup, I will post update, but if nothing, appears this is now a Stock unlocked phone.
Phone - SM-930P Sprint
Had most recent April Update
No longer on sprint, it's on GoogleFi now, but was unlocked by provider

I'd say oreo, the newer the better for the sake of actually being able to obtain the apks from the google play store.
I was able to run most games just fine with this rom. :good:
Is this specifically for TMobile users? It's just that i noticed it was TMB-$(version_info).
I guess my question is, does it matter if i use this on a Straight Talk phone, or should i suck it up and spend a day downloading the VMU rom from SAMMOBILE?
More specificity, if it matters. Previously i upgraded from stock Straight Talk rom that came with the phone to VMU, with the SM-G930U firmware. I'm looking to upgrade from Nougat to Oreo now though.
Currently my phone is running VMU-G930UUES4CRG3-20180809155130

probably a dumb noob question, but do i have to request a carrier unlock on a 930A before i do this? it is currently carrier locked.
also, after doing whatever is required, will it get OTA unlocked updates?
EDIT: i went ahead and got my s7 unlocked with the ATT code. on trying to flash i got an SHA256 error. after some google i checked the bootloader is "8". is this why? update checker says i'm up to date with Dec 3 2018 security updates...
I'm sorry but is these Snapdragon S7 variants likely to have a Android 9 Rom in the future?
I know it's idiotic btw hope some responses would be left.

This is the first time I've done this and other guides seems to say the opposite. Can someone confirm which I should use if I don't want to do a clean install?
Thanks
Will WiFi calling still work after installing this on a T-Mobile S7? Thank You.

Make sure to flash with Odin3 v3.13.1.
I'd tried 3.12.x and had no luck. :silly:
Was able to flash my S7 from Verizon to unlocked with this.

I've uploaded this because updato was miserably slow,
just don't want others to jump through as many hoops as I did to get it.
Good luck and thanks for stopping by! :fingers-crossed:

How do i revert back from Root to Stock

How can i go back to stock rom? Is it just downloaded the stockrom for my S9 from sammobile and unpacked it.
Do i have to use odin update the stock rom to the phone? Is TWRP then gone after that ?
I watched already some YT movies but that makes me confused. Some people say i only need to chose the AP md5 file in Odin and some people say that i have to choose BL, AP, CP and CSC.
Which one is the right way? I don't want to kill my phone
I wanna sell the phone and bring the phone back to stock.
you just want to unroot right ?

To get rid of TWRP works imo best with Odin. Root vanishes as well.
The different methods mentioned refer to the fact that there are single stock ROM files, as well as multiple part versions.
Using either one of them (if done properly) results in a "as bought" state.
I recommend to use multiple part versions sometimes they are accessible at Sammobile.com or similar.
Did you get that?
If not, best for mine was always using Samfirm_reborn tool.
Insert model, region and check "decrypt automatically" and "factory..."
The downloaded stuff comes directly from Samsung servers.
i used the multiple part version. I didn't know about samfirm_reborn tool. Can i still do something with that? Or is it not necessary anymore.? ?

Don't know which one you got/took.
Should be the same.
Might test versions by downloading with samfirm_reborn as well.
