Flashing Back To Stock - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers

I've tried flashing firmware through ODIN all day. Either ODIN gets stuck at start or Update Fails. Anyone else having these issues?

What are you trying to flash back from? Are there ROMs for this already?

[Q] Stuck on boot loop, no recovery mode available

Hi There,
I'm using the s3 mini gt-i8190N
I've been scouring the forums, flashing like crazy to try to get this fixed. My phone is stuck on a boot loop, recovery mode goes to a boot loop. I can however get into download mode.
I've tried:
Reflashing with the stock firmware
Reflashing PIT file
Reflashing PARAMS file
Reflashing Kernel
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello,
I had this earlier on. I managed to successfully sort mine out using this:

You need to get a stock image from sammobile. This didn't work for me, initially, but once i flashed it along with a pit file from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1953962&d=1368285117
that managed to stop the bootloop, and the phone booted fine. Not sure what the param.zip file does, when I flashed it, it didn't have much of an effect.

ODIN keeps failing while flashing stock rom

Yesterday I uninstalled xposed, then my phone went into boot loop. After that I did a factory reset etc. then tried to flash stock firmware via odin but when I hit the start button, it directly fails. Now I cannot open my phone because there is no Android OS in it right now, all I have galaxy note 5 logo.

If you mean v.3.10.7 yes. I used OTG cable to install new ROM. So problem solved. I don't like ODIN and not planing to use it anymore it does not work anyway

Problems with marshmallow update. Emergency recovery

Hello all. I'm having some trouble getting my note 5 to work again. I downloaded the new Marshmallow update today from sammobile and proceeded to flash it with odin. After 10 seconds I got the fail red box in odin, disconnected my phone and got this error: '' an error has occured while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software''.
So I went ahead and read in a couple of forums and saw that people got their phones working back using Kies. I did that. Entered my model number (sm-n920g) and entered the serial number. Kies then started to download the firmware and the recovery failed. I have no idea what to do really. Should I try using the Smart Switch program instead? Flashing a lollipop one via odin? Or what? I've never had any trouble before flashing stock roms or customs on any of my other phones, so I'm getting a bit frustrated after Kies didn't work. Any recommendations would be gladly appreciated!
I would personally go back and flash the stock lollipop firmware and double check that the marshmallow update you are using is not corrupted. Also, make sure to use twrp 3.0.1 as a recovery. I was having boot loops at first until I discovered the correct recovery file.

Well the lollipop stock rom failed too. I'm getting an error in the download mode that says SW REV CHECK FAIL. Don't know what it means or how to fix it, but I'm currently not able to flash anything. What can I do??

Please make sure the download is not corrupted or ensure you are using the correct firmware file.

Normally repartition is not checked by default in odin. Further which version are you trying to flashing? Which one you have? Give some more details to seek help from xda family.

Download latest firmware thru samfirm with check marks on binary or something like that which will reset your phone on favtory condition and rebuild all partitions. Be aware with this method your phone will be restored just like new one and data and other will be gone.
