HELP ! S20 stuck after firmware update :( - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

Hi,
I'm using a S20 (SM-G980F), with XEF firmwares (France).
I was running on the august firmware (...DUH2), and tryied today to update my firmware to DUH5 via ODIN, and the upade process stay stuck on PRISM step.
Now my phone boot with blue screen "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the SmartSwitch app"
I've try different solutions but don't find yet how to sort it out :
a) Try again flash of DUH5 via ODIN, exactly same issue (ie : update stops on PRISM step)
b) Opened SmartSwitch emergency recovery menu, but It don't list nothing... no way to choose my phone!
c) Try to flash back the previous DUH2 fimaware via ODIN, it stops at the very begning of the process with this
message in red :
ON_FAIL_SECURE_CHECK_FAIL
SM_REV. CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER) DEVICE : 0xa BINARY : 0x9
d) Try to flash another country version (DBT / Germany) of the last firmware DUH5, without no more success
I'm really disapointed, and the FoMo is growing
Any idea on how to resurect my precious S20 ?

Urgent help needed...download mode blinking

Friends,I recently flashed my wave 2 s8530 to bada 2 and yesterday when i tried to flash it june update indian firmware(s8530 DDKF1) ,the flashing failed midway.I was getting rsrc1 erase error.I tried to flash it again still d error didn't go.After some time my phone showed "SOFTWARE UPDATE FAILED" error.Now i can't even enter the download mode.When i try,the download mode comes and after 5 sec the screen becomes blank or d software update error shoots up...I dont know what to do and I dont want to give it to the service center because i need the cell in working condition by sunday...Please help.
Try these options:
1. Make sure all necessary drivers are installed.
2. USe the correct version of multiloader to flash (flashing back from a different bada version usually has problems with multiloader v5.62 e.g. erase error).
3. Remove battery from phone for a mimumum of 10 minutes. Then insert battery again. Please borrow a fully charged battery from a friend (as yours obviously cannot be charged now).
4. Try flashing again.
Best of luck.

Note 3 SM-N900 stuck at "Firmware upgrade error" Please help!

Hello everyone,
Hope you are well.
I am having a bad day with this Note 3. After resetting the stock firmware, it kept on giving a yellow sign at the notification bar that says "unauthorised operation detected, please reboot to prevent changes". Note that this is after full reset and no update or anything installed. After It restarted, it did something which looks like when a device gets a rom update (like those tools working on the droid belly), and after that it rebooted and keeps showing "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue, Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again".
I installed Kies 3 and it detects the phone but then says its not supported. If I try to do an firmware initialization and recovery, it asks for the phone model and serial number, after I enter both, it comes up with a message saying "SM-N900 does not support initializing."
Odin can't flash the phone either, its coming up with and error says write failed.
Please advise on how to proceed from here.
Many thanks in advance.

SM-P607T stuck in 4.4.2

Hello everyone,
i bought the SM-P607T during my deployment in Afghanistan over Ebay USA . Spending my time there i tested the device and installed all updates etc. Back in Germany just my wife used it. Some weeks ago i noticed that an update to Lollipop should be avaible so i took the device to bring it up to date and i noticed some problems.
(Please note that i am just a noobie to flashing and rooting android and just follow guides to get to my goal.)
1. Device only loading while shut down. (After rooting and installation of TWRP it strangely started to load while on again even on PC USB connection)
2. Its not possible to connect the device with any PC.
3. OTA updates stop at around 27% and fail (KitKat 4.4.4)
[In TWRP shown
"E: Error executing updater binary in zip /data/fota/update.zip
E: Error installing zip file /data/fota/update.zip"]
Strange enough that the update info shown in android is Chinese Version
Tried to get some support with Samsung Europe but unfortunately they say US device US problem......
So what did i do in the meantime
1. Tried different loading devices frome Samsung and 3rd party companys. No changes.
2. Tried several different data cables to connect to 4 different PC. Even the one wich worked good with my Honor7 or the Galasy S4 mini dont do with the 607
3. My last try to fix this problem was to change the USB charging dock completely. Also didn´t change anything.
4. Now the step where i am currently stuck. I managed to root the device and install TWRP(v2.8.7.0) . Now tried to install Version P607TUVUBOI2 via SD Card.
Just followed diffenrent Guides on youtube and forums but im stuck at this.
Here is the message i got in TWRP recovery:
"Installing /external_sd/1/TMB-P607TUVUBOI2-20510930112901.zip
Checking for MD5 file....
Skipping MD5 check : no MD5 file found
Error flashing /external_sd/1/TMB-P607TUVUBOI2-20510930112901.zip
updating partition details......
Checked the *.zip on my PC there was just this file in: P607TUVUBOI2_P607TTMB1BOI2_P607TUVUBOI2_HOME.tar.md5
Downloaded the file from a different source again with same result
It would be very nice if someone is capable to help me with this and give me a hint what i possibly did wrong (Please do not mention not to buy in the US). For me it doesnt matter if i got a rooted or not routed version to install my main goal is to get rid of 4.4.2 . The problem with the not working USB connection is the biggest show stopper for me.

I really confused about your description? you using twrp to flash a .zip rom? then you mentioned about .md5 rom on your pc? how did you flash? With .md5 rom you need to use Odin to flash. Can you boot into download mode (hold down volume down + Home buttons then press power button)? If you able to boot to download mode, your pc should able to see the device and you would use Odin to flash the .md5 rom from your pc to the device. Also where did you download the .zip rom?

You can't revert if you flash MM bootloader, which unfortunately good sir. You have done.

A powerful bomb problem

I have a Galaxy Tab S4 device
I installed the following file on it
COMBINATION_FAC_FA81_T835XXU2ARI2_FACFAC_CL14168542_QB19864423_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
Now the device has reached an interesting and strange situation that I do not know
I want to go back to the previous situation.
I can not get back to download mode.
I want to install back the real firmware.
How do I get out of this situation or I can switch back to download mode.

Suddenly I found the place he could lead me away to the download page.
But he wants a password.
What can I do to find the password.
Misha knew?

Connect your device to a PC.
Then using adb type the following into a command prompt:
adb reboot download
Then I tried to re-install, and installed something wrong, and it wrote me this:
SCURIYY EROR: THIS DEVICE HAS DEEN FLASHED WITH HNANAHORIZED SOFTWARE & IS LOCKED. CALL YUR MOBILE OPERATOR FPR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. PLEASE NOTE THAT REPAIR / RETURN FOR THIS ISSUE MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL COST.
I gave it to the repair shop, I hope they will succeed and that it's cheap ...

Thanks for that tip, Ashyx. That saved my day. BTW, what is that password that the Factory Binary SW asks for? What's the reason for a password there?
I was trying this "Factory Binary" (combination) firmware because as soon as Pie came out for my SM-T835 (Galaxy Tab S4), it was available only for France (CSC = XEF) and I wanted to preview Pie/One UI in my device. Then my region's firmware (Brazil Open, CSC= ZTO) came out and I flashed it on the tablet. For some reason, my CSC became CHO (Chile Open), and I wasn't able to revert it back to ZTO (although it's a Multi-CSC and contain both regions) . Then I flashed
COMBINATION_FAC_FA81_T835XXU2ARI2_FACFAC_CL14168542_QB19864423_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
(AP only) after having flashed official
T835UBU2ARL1_CL14803871_QB20870118_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5
but after entering code *#243203855#, as described in
https://www.sammobile.com/forum/threads/39155-How-to-change-CSC-with-a-combination-file
the code was recognized (cleared from the dialer) but no CSC selection appeared.
Do you have an idea where it went wrong?
Thanks in advance.
