Hi Guys,
About a month ago I got new Galaxy S9 with firmware G960FXXSBETH2,
As it turned out it has all kind of reception issues, so I tried to find alternate ROM for it to see if this issue can be improved.
While searching for ROM at Sammobile.com I noticed that the latest version for my region is different than the one I have on my device, and in fact I should have firmware G960FXXUAETG3.
I got ODIN (3.14.4) but when tried to flash the alternate firmware got this message:
"sw rev check fail bootloader device 11 binary 10"
So as it seems this device came with high boot-loader version 11 and I understand that I can not downgrade it either way - correct me if I'm wrong on this.
So what are my options on this?
Is there an alternate ROM that I could use? Maybe a customized one?
Or am I'm stuck with this firmware,
Many thanks

Dear friends, it's the first time that I write a thread seeking your help.
I purchased my note 4 N910H 5.1.1 few weeks ago and I discovered that battery drains in a horrible fast way even if it is turned off (6 to 7 hours max). I read that many people had the same problem and that after a downgrade to kitkat this issue was solved. So I decided to do so.
I tried all methods I found on forums; all files I found on sammobile. No success.
I only could install 2 files..
1- N910HXXU2COJ4_N910HOLB2COJ2_N910HXXU1COJ2_HOME.tar is a 5.1.1 with CSC from Cambodia (CAM). I don't think it is the good one coz after installing it I could not do an update with kies (shows an unknown error).
2- N910HXXU2COJ4_N910HOJV2COJ1_N910HXXU1COJ2_HOME.tar is also a 5.1.1 with CSC from Iraq (MID). With it, kies accepted to update firmware without problems, so I think it's the good one.
I also found a 4 files ROM N910HXXU1ANJ4_OLB1ANJ4 it is a kitkat ROM but can not be flashed (Odin shows nand writing error). I tries to flash this rom without loading Bootloader file.. it worked but phone was stuck on a bootloop and could start again only after flashing 5.1.1 ROM.
I think that bootloader is locked or secured somehow and refuses all roms.
What is the solution? is there an other kitkat ROM with same actual bootloader maybe? is there a way to change bootloader version?

if you find it let me know
Hey!
I've got my wife's old GT-I9195I to play with, and its been running great on LineageOS 7.1.1 (14.1-20170313-Unofficial-serranoltexx) with kernel 3.4.113-gbf6ef2d-22422-g1d02b3d.
I was given a Gear 2 Neo the other day, and my actual phone is a crappy work provided iPhone so i cannot really connect the gear up to it. Brainwave - i thought i would just revert the S4Mini to stock and configure it all on it.
Using Odin and the newest rom downloaded in parts from http://fw.updato.com/ i have tried to blast it back to stock, but keep getting hit with the fused2 error.
Is there any way that i can get a stock rom back on this handset? More than happy running a custom kernel if needed, but just need to be running a samsung rom on this phone so i can get the Gear 2 Neo working
Cheers!
Tim
Solved - see post 4 for info
just searched around for fuse 2 error. and found some people getting those error while downgrading.
the solution they found is another region firmware with latest boot loader. and they were able to downgrade.
how about you try it. and download firmware from here.

my phone is a euro phone (although i am based in Australia), and i have tried both the original ROM and the Aussie ROM with no luck so far. i was getting the firmware files from either updato as mentioned in OP, or using the old SamFirmTool from right here on XDA. with that, i was able to download the individual files for Odin, including the PIT file but have still not had any luck.
Guess i will try another one for now
Cheers for the reply.
Success!
After downloading and trying 6 different regions, i have found one that works. TPD (Netherlands) was the key for me. (NOTE: i downloaded mine using the older SamFirmTool and downloaded the indivudual files instead of the single zip file. flashed with Odin v3.12).
For future visitors, my scenario was:
GT-I9195I (originally a euro phone delivered to Australia via Kogan online).
Tried:
GT-I9195I:
* XEF (France)
* LUX (Luxemborg)
GT-I9195H:
* PCT (Puerto Rico)
GT-I9195L:
* TCE (Mexico)
GT-I9195:
* PRO (Belgium)
GT-I9195T:
* TEL (Australia)
out of desperation, i went back to the GT-I9195I section, sorted by date again and started looking at CSC names. I noticed that the TPD (Netherlands) ROM had a higher revision, and i remembered that the CSC was responsible for the PIT information (i had that error come up a few times in my flashing adventure). Flashed the TPD ROM onto it no problems, and its fully booted in stock glory now.
Cheers,

Hi guys,
I'm stuck with my note 7, n930v in download mode because I can't flash any firmware.Everytime when I am trying to flash this one N930VVRS1APH1 or N930VVRS2APHE I'm getting the same error in download: SW. Rev. CHECK FAIL: fuse 3 binary x, where x=1 for PH1 and x=2 for PHE.
What can I/we do when we are facing this problem? I am searching for a rev.3 firmware since 6 days, I will probably incinerate this phone finally if there is no solution to download that firmware.What exactly is this stupid sw.revision and why can't be bypassed....:| ?
However, is there anyone here who have any idea with that? Thank you !!
Cheers
I encountered the same problem. Any one can help us? Please!

You've updated your bootloader to revision 3. This is the same across all current samsung devices. You won't be able to downgrade to a revision 1 or 2 firmware now. Not unless you unlock the bootloader somehow.
I saw this thread in the forums: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...nbrick-verizon-note-7-matter-how-bad-t3467085
He used the Verizon Repair Assistant tool to make the device download the latest firmware from Verizon Servers. Maybe that will work if you can't find a Binary 3 Firmware. I mean I did a search on google for N930VVVRS3 firmware and got zero results.
I also found this Binary 3 Firmware File here in the forums:
AP_N930VVRS3APL2_CL8720001_QB11952598_REV00_user_l ow_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar
I found this thread from GSM-Firmware showing an official VZW Binary 3 Firmware link: http://forum.gsm-firmware.com/showt...B11952598_REV00_u-ser_low_ship_MULTI_CERT-tar
Flashing that will downgrade your aboot version. Once that is fully installed and has booted up once, try flashing just the AP file from a binary 2 or binary 1 firmware, doing a factory reset from recovery immediately after flash before letting it fully boot. It worked on my AT&T Note 5 to get Rooted 5.1.1 running again after I had updated my bootloader too far. Although that might be a shot in the dark using Official VZW firmware.
You will want to get the 3APL1 Combination file or another Binary 3 Combo for N930V. And then try to flash a binary 1 or 2 AP file only. Don't flash a binary 1/2 BL or CP file. If you get the AP file to flash, then you can flash the CSC file.

I was trying to root my samsung galaxy a5 2017 with TWRP and I accidentally deleted system data. Then, I tried rebooting the phone and it got stuck in a bootloop. To fix this problem I tried flashing stock 8.0 firmware from sammobile via odin and I got this error:
Sw rev. Check fail. Device: 6, binary 5. I think that this means I have to flash the latest stock firmware but there isn't a newer one.
After that, I tried to use my phone by flashing a custom rom (Lineage 15.1) and I discovered that I have no imei,no baseband and no ip adress. I have installed many custom roms but the issue is still there. I am trying to get my phone to work with stock firmware and fix the IMEI issue but odin wont let me flash because of that error. I would appreciate if anyone could help. Thanks.
Flash a firmware version that contains S6 or U6 in the middle, it won't work with U5/S5! Not the Samsung phone S5 or S6, but rather, the firmware version.
For cellular, change the modem firmware, or backup and wipe /data/. /data/data/?.
Unless the efs was wiped (probably not if the baseband version isn't there, load a backup then, only if the efs was wiped don't restore it otherwise, and it must not be a backup created with an older twrp, view the recovery log in the backup folder)

Listen to me, it happened to me 2 days ago, and I came to the conclusion that I was not flash the latest firmware. You need to flash the same firmware with the same bootloader or more recent, the error you receive is because you are flashing an older version of bootloader. Do one thing, type the code *#1234# on the phone keypad
mark the code that gives you on 'AP and look it on Sammobile at https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a5/SM-A520F/ITV/ select your language and look for the firmware with your own code . You will see that odin flash it.
Samsung A520F Custom Binary Error
Hello please I have been trying to reload my Samsung A520F firmware for a couple of weeks
It all started with the phone trying to update (over WIFI) and somewhere along the line files must have gotten corrupted
This led to the phone constantly restart and shutting down applications
I decided to just download the firmware and use Odin to reload. This, unfortunately, didn't go so well as now the phone isn't starting up anymore but can still get to download mode.
PDA firmware is A520FXXUACSE6
Region is EUR
Network is OPEN
every time I use this firmware I get the error
" Custom binary (BOOT) Blocked by FRP Lock
Please note currently at the moment phone refuses to boot up I read about removing OEM lock and don't know if this is the problem.
Please could you help out

Obviously you are frp locked. But I didn't think that blocked from flashing official.
I was flashing from stock ATT SM-975U on firmware N975usq1asgo TO -> Unlocked Android 10 n975U1ES2BSLD
After Odin passed, it came back with the following error on the phone:
partition abl
Reason abl: hash of the data does not match digest in descriptor [2nd]
Any fixes?

if a wipe in recovery doesnt fix it then reflash in odin
and I think you must download a new firmware because this one is possible corrupted... I have the same problem the first day when I just received my phone...
Looks like different bootloaders also. Once got ver 1 while other got ver 2.
Update:
I ended up just downloading the firmware pack available in the guides section. Unpacked it, (no restart since I couldnt pull the battery as even power cycling came back to this same page), setup odin and it worked.
The original firmware pack was from Samfirm, which pulled the firmware based on what I entered.

The old firmware on the device was V1, but the new firmware that caused the error was v2. Was that a requirement when upgrading? I thought the modem firmware was only an issue when trying to downgrade?
The unlocked guide firmware i believe is v1 so going forward, if anyone has this issue and googles this, hope it helps!
