I have downloaded Odin from somewhere

I downloaded Samsung Odin flash tool from https://odindownload.com/how-to-use-odin/. Can I trust this application? I did not report errors but I could not find the compatible firmware file for my Samsung Galaxy J7. I have no idea about flashing or flash tools. Can someone directly advise me to flash my device and please offer me any download link for downloading the correct firmware?

Question regarding S8+

Thank you for the link, I have a question though.

I made a huge mistake by flashing TWRP and SuperSu on my S8+, and voided the warranty and blew the e-fuse. Then I could not get any of the banking apps to work with the S8+ because of the SuperSu root, so I unrooted and wiped the phone to proceed with the installation of Magisk, which can not be installed because the ROM was modified, according to the logs of TWRP.

So my question is, when I am trying to revert to stock by flashing this ROM with Odin I get an error after "cm.bin". Is this due to the e-fuse? :confused:

Sorry for the question here, but I tried everything. Your input would be really helpful. :good:

Thank you for the response,

I do not know, the last correct FW flashed is this one: BL_G955FXXU3CRGH_CL14023573_QB19093111_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5. After this, the device starts correctly but get an OTA update, and that is the problem. I do not get the details of the new version. I get this definition, Device 4 = current bootloader version on phone.Binary 3 = bootloader I am trying to flash. So, using this BL_G955FXXU4CRI5_CL14315050_QB19732162_REV00_user_low_ship.tar. The 4 before the CRI5 is the BL help me to boots correctly again.

I have the SM-G955F.

I flashed TWRP using the instructions on here and everything worked perfectly fine. I even booted back into the stock OS - however, the Magisk app was not there.

I was going to boot back into TWRP when I got the message "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" and went into a bootloop.

Then I followed the instructions to flash the stock firmware back on to my S8+, but it failed. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

I used Odin3_v3.13.1. I have attached 2 pictures to show the error.

I have the same problem. After flashing TWRP i then used the TWRP to install "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1" prior to Magisk and the phone rebooted.

It was then stuck in a boot loop along with RED heading "Only Official Released Binaries äre allowed to be flashed".

I cant get back into the TWRP boot. The bootloop is about 2 seconds long and far too short to use "Power+Vol_Up+Bixby" to enter TWRP.

I used Odin to flash.

I can't re-flash TWRP recovery: it fails.

I've tried flashing the stock firmware provided in this thread. I have used multiple versions of Odin and i have tried using "Prince Comsy Odin".

Sometimes it just hangs for hours, saying Set Partition.

Sometimes it says "PASS", but still nothing works and i am still stuck in a bootloop saying only official released binaries are allowed to be installed.

Sometimes i try again and it just hangs for hours in Odin. Sometimes it says FAIL.

No matter what i do, i am stuck in a short bootloop and i cant seem to flash anything that fixes it, including TWRP and including the oreo official OS provided above.

I cant get into TWRP boot.

The only thing i can get into is the download screen...

Hi guys,

To start things off I know there is a veribale search replace and FOR functions in tasker.

Im trying to create a task that stores all the body content of an email. The task will then pull the relevant information, to compose another email and send to a different email address each time (Which is not included in the body of the email).

I have successfully created the variables that capture the information from the email that I need, with veribale split.

However the problem is the task is quite lengthy, as I'm doing two veribale splits to get the information I need Into a variable. The information I'm pulling is not constant. Such as a time range and name of the person who booked the time slot.

What is the most efficient way to do this?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davek17:
Hi there

I fiddle largely with MTK based phones and when I tweak a phone, I normally only need ADB root access. So my general process has been to:

1. OEM Unlock the device

2. unpack the boot.img and change the default.prop values (ro.adb.secure etc) to allow ADB root access.

3. Use ADB to get temporary write access using adb Root, then ADB remount Rw. Then you can pull and push files.

However I have an MT8735b, Android 7.0, Alps based device that will simply not give me ADB root access. so when I run "adb remount rw" or any of the equivalent shell scripts you can use instead, it just won't give me write access.

So I heard that newer phones based on these chipsets and also ones like 6737M are locking the device up in other ways.

My question is, does anyone have any ideas or knows anything I could try to get root access?

Any help is much appreciated.
