[Q] Now stuck PLS HELP

This is my very first post i have found many solution on this forum which helped me & my friends But need help with this 1
Ok here goes my Story
I have recently brought s3(used) it was on 4.3 & rooted with philz touch 6 didn't check the firmware details etc
As i was playing with philz touch 6 & did something which i remember was to clean rom or some thing now the phone boots & shows Samsung Galaxy SIII & stops there
I think its on I747UCUEMJ2 Modified ROM » Root, KNOX Disabled, SE-Linux Disabled not sure
Is there a way to get it back ..?

If you are able to access download mode, you could easily flash a custom ROM.

S i can access download mode
Can i go back to stock or only custom firmware from now on..?

If I were you, I would go to a custom firmware. That is if you have a custom recovery like ClockWorkmod or TWRP. But you can flash stock, at least to my understanding. But I'd look into that.
(Your bootloader will need to be unlocked too)

I am on Clockworkmod v6.0.3.1 the thing is i don't want a custom firmware 2 many problems
I would like to load stock buy have read most of them get their phones bricked

If you were on the 4.3 official stock ROM that was pushed out, you have a possibility of bricking your device downgrading to lets say the 4.1.2 stock ROM.
A custom ROM isn't bad though. If you do like Touchwiz based ROMs you may be able to find one in the development section.

What information are you wanting to backup?
You'll have to find your ROM of choice. If you want a reliable ROM then I'd recommend something that is stable, which should always be said in the thread,

Contacts could be backed up if you sync with your gmail account. SMS can be done by an application on the market. Notes that are synced on Evernote or Keep should just be there.

sorry for my bad english

Two options I see:
1. Try to restore your device using Kies3
2. Flash newest firmware (get it from sammobile) for your region using PC-Odin.

Putting "need help urgently please :'(" does not help you in any way, in fact it makes it more likely that people will simply ignore the topic. Topic titles need to be descriptive, not generic non-descriptive.
Your problem is that like many newbies you cant be bothered to do research, read and learn before messing around with your device.
You should boot into download mode and flash a stock rom. Preferably a older one that doesn't have knox. Then flash a stock rom(without knox) in recovery mode. All the info you need is here on forum.

i forgot to tell that one of the things changed that my mobile lost the usb support in the normal mode as there is no change when i connect it to my pc except it charges only but it works in the download mode and when i reflash the stock rom v 4.3 the screen freezes after a few seconds of turning it on and i have to remove the battery .. do you think that flashing the 4.4.2 sthock rom will make a change ? as the solution of kies isn't possible due to the lack of usb support !
is there a way to format the sectors that the pation " param " which flashed by the sumsung star dous stock rom is in it and make that conflict to delete that ??

What was your last stock rom on your device before messing up?
I do absolutely not agree with those horror tales about knox, most people don't use and easily get rid of.
Do you remember your last bootloader? MK4 or above? Then don't take any risk by flashing 4.3 firmware and go straight ahead to 4.4.2.
It will be the safest way to get a working device again.

So you can also try the NA1 firmware, but nothing beneath that. NA1 is a knox enabled BL, so whatever you flash successfully will have Knox in it.
DON'T TICK REPARTITION!

1) Go to Sammobile
2) Find firmware for your region -> download
3) Find Odin 3.09 -> download and install
4) Start Odin 3.09
5) Plugin device -> see if Odin displays active com port
6) Go into download mode
7) Link firmware download in tab PDA/AP
8) Let Odin check md5
9) Press start button
10) Wait until display of com port in Odin turns green and says success.
All these steps could also be found with an easy Google search or in Youtube tutorials

OK, I see. Try a wipe from stock recovery, wipe all possible.
Another option: Kies!
I know, you said not recognized but you must get it to work. Uninstall all drivers from PC an re-install drivers until Kies can restore your device.
Very last option: Find a Samsung repair near to you.

As you mentioned you already have been on NA1 firmware and as it seems you have flashed latest 4.4.2 with "a kind of success" I find it hope- and useless to even try this rescue rom. Bootloader is the reason why you can't successfully flash. NO DOWNGRADE POSSIBLE.

Can you illustrate your words ? For kies it's unpossible to connect my mobile to any pc the drivers works perfectly for any similarphone the fault is in my mobile not the driver and for sumsung care it will be high cost as the warranty ended ! And I wipe every thing possible through the stock recovery but noyhing changed !

I am beginning to lose my patience cause you don't follow my advice or even don't consider that I am right.
Look into system on your PC if there is an unknown device.
Whenever hardware is connected to PC Windows starts to search for drivers.
It doesn't matter that other devices are recognized correctly.
Wipe all Samsung drivers and re-install. Even re-install Kies too.
Start Kies and try restoration, maybe it will fail, but try. AND with current drivers you are supposed to fail.
At last: Try to find a friend with knowledge who can help you at your home or his.

What should I do before installing a Recovery?

So I have a Galaxy S4 from T-Mobile and want to use CM or any other bloatware free ROM, I have some experience flashing ROMS and Kernels but with Xperia's not Sam devices.
Now just watched some videos and tutorials to follow, but all of them start using Odin or in some cases Heimdall (CM Wiki), but is there where should I start or need to ROOT or Unlock the Bootloader
After TWRP Im fine, Thanks in advance, already google it but my english isnt good enough, if you can list me the steps, without description, just the step it would be GREAT!

Do not use any bootloader unlocking apps on your phone as I don't believe the T-mobile s4 has a locked bootloader. If the bootloader is not locked and you use bootloader unlocking apps or procedures, you could hard-brick the phone.
If the bootloader is unlocked, here's how to flash TWRP:
Download the latest tar version of TWRP for the s4 Tmobile from here: https://dl.twrp.me/jfltetmo/
Download Odin 3.07 from here: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=...5QWImOPDJboTA_V3D5S9eA&bvm=bv.112454388,d.amc
Open Odin, uncheck everything except r.reset time. Click on PDA and select the twrp tar file you downloaded. Connect phone to the computer in download mode. Click on start to flash TWRP. When you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, wait about 3 seconds, replace battery, use button combination to boot into recovery.
If the bootloader is locked, do not use Odin to flash TWRP.

Thanks man nad in your opinion what is the most stable ROM AOSP based

Not sure about the most stable ROM as I am using stock at the moment as I was having signal problems and I need to determine if the signal problem are due to software or hardware..
Did you get TWRP installed?

Yes its installed now, one more question in order to do a backup only for stock galaxy rom should I unmark data from TWRP backup settings? Or its easy to install the galaxy stock rom and should skip the backup

[GUIDE] [HOW-TO] Downgrade to 5.1.1 lolipop

So......first of all lets clear something out: nougat is fine. marshmallow is fine. even the first firmware that was ever released on the s6e+ was fine. But if for whatever reason you would want to downgrade to lolipop heres how:
WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIVE INTO INVOLVES HARDCORE BOOTLOADER MODS AND FLASHING SAMSUNG ENGINEERING FILES. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. NO ONE (INCLUDING ME) WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR OWN PHONE.
So......downgrading to lolipop...... some ppl claimed it can be done by deleting some file in the odin .tar but that never worked for me.
If you have the sw rev check fail error upon downgrading....this is the guide for you
This will wipe all your data including internal storage (depending on how you do it)
Confirmed working on 2 g928f devices (one of em is mine) should* work on g928c but cant make any promises
disadvantages:
1. You cannot boot twrp while on the downgraded bootloader (still working on that tho)
2. You will only have system-wide root. DO NOT flash systemless or it will not boot (also rip safetynet)
3. Fingerprint is not working (still working on that)
4. You can only flash stock nougat or stock marshmallow from odin. You cannot flash lolipop tar,twrp tar,cf auto root tar or anything else
Instructions:
1. Wipe /data /system and /cache in twrp
2. Download this lolipop rom i cooked up in a few mins or any other lolipop rom (but this is tested as working w this method) and flash it (dont mind the supersu flash in the rom. it doesnt work. flash this supersu)
3. Download and flash this supersu (optional)(depends if u want root)
4. FLASH ALL OTHER MODS NOW BCUZ U CANT BOOT IN TWRP BACK LATER
you can try to boot but it wont. You need a bootloader
5. reboot in download mode and flash this modified bootloader
6. boot in stock recovery,wipe,cross fingers and hope it boots
If u ever wanna go back to nougat just flash stock .tar and no issues from there
Huuuuuge credits to @lucastanciu
The guy stayd a few hrs in a constant bootloader fkup to made this happen and has made a huuuuge contribution so that this guide could be possible and as safe as it is

HOW-TO:
Flash something (a mod for example) AFTER you flashed the rom and modded bootloader
flash this stock bootloader in bl tab
at the same time flash in ap the twrp tar.
boot into twrp flash whatever y need to flash
flash back from odin the modified bootloader

"I dont have a g928f or g928c
Can you mod a bootloader for me?"
Well.........depends....... if im bored yea i like to help ppl
Just give me ur model number and i will try to make one for you. No promises tho

U forgot to mention that this 5.1.1 lollipop is faster than any rom. With this rom i got the fastest boot time ever! I recommend u to try this rom ))

Deal with the g928g

Gracias very good onli necesari recovery

You deserve a ten, but please fix it to get into recovery and do not put tatas red letters that scare jaajajjaja good eunsaludo from spain

Ah yes. If you rooted then you have the deep sleep issue. This was an issue even with the original 5.1.1 it was fixed by flashing a custom kernel buuuut since we cant do that......... we just have to deal with it

is this work on note5 n920c ?

Pie root, twrp fail, odin fail and Emergency Recovery Function

Hi, community
I tried to root my SM G-9600 but it all went wrong. First i went on twrp, it worked, but wiped my entire data. Then i tried make a factory reset o installation with odin and the latest firmware for my device, but it failed and showed this message labeled in red color: "sw rev check fail device 4 binary 3 error". then i found in this and other forums that it was because i used not the latest firmware. I downloaded the latest one, tried once to flash it via ODIN, and it failed again. Then when it restarted this message was shown : " An error has occurred while updating the devide software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software. I donwloaded the smart switch, installed it, plugged my devide, but it shown that my device was "Unsupported". IDK what to do by now, so i need help from anyone on this forum. PLS
Greeting from Peru.

i had the same problem
(before processing to the next step try to redownload the firmware, i think i was using an old firmware and this is why i got this error)
i am assuming that you can not boot on twrp recovery
that's not a problem , you need to install twrp via odin and boot directly to it....
format the data and connect to your laptop (if it does recognize the phone but there is no storage dont worry, just reboot again to recovery (there is an option on reboot tab))
since you already tripped the knox just flash a custom rom, boot and set it up, and then try to flash stock image via odin as normal.
and sorry for my bad english.

Cant install a custom rom
Thanks. I made posible the TWRP installation, root, but i cannot install any custom rom i have. Can you suggest any one that will be suitable for my device (SM G-9600) ?, thats Samsung Galaxy S9 g9600 (Snapdragon SoC)

do you want to install a custom rom or revert back to stock?

For custom ROM I suggest Soldiers ROM here's the link to the thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...g96xf-fd-n-stock-rom-soldier9312-1-0-t3771346 . You can more information about it on the thread. Been using the moment I rooted my phone.
