[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reksoG:
Hello

Today, my phone was working perfectly fine until I got new update. After the update popped up, I decided to install it. My phone was not rooted or anything, was totally stock. After the update, the wifi wasn't working anymore. It connected to the wifi but it said "no internet access, try another wifi". I tested hotspot etc, all same. All my other devices worked just fine. So I decided to factory reset through recovery mode, which didn't help. I still couldn't connect to the wifi. Then I was going to try to reinstall firmware with Smart Switch, but apparently the big brains from Samsung removed the "device initialization" option from it.

The last resort was, Odin. I searched up the corresponding firmware for my phone (SM-G925F, from Belgium). I downloaded the firmware from sammobile, but after I only got 1 MD5 file, I assumed it was the AP (I searched on internet to confirm). After I tried to flash the new firmware with Odin, it failed. Now my phone wouldn't even start, I could blue screen "An error has occured while updating the device sofware. Use emergency sofware... blabla on smart switch". Ofcourse, we can't use that now anymore. I also tried installing older version of smart switch, but It said that the device is not supported.

So my question is, how can I fully reset my phone to stock with Odin? I am also using SamFirm to get the latest software with these options:

Firmware: SM-G925F

Region: PRO (Proximus provider - Belgium)

PDA/CSC/Phone: Auto

Binary nature: checked

PRO (Proximus) is set as the region. Proximus is a provider in Belgium. This is also the only region I can use in Belgium, all other regions don't work. My provider at this moment is Orange, but I don't know how to find the one from Orange.

I hope I'm doing something wrong and overseeing, otherwise I have no idea how to fix this anymore.

My firmware info:

PDA	G925FXXU5EQH6

CSC	G925FPRO5EQI2

My odin version: v3.12.3

Kind regards

Edit 1: I finally got the files from SamFire. It passed CRC32 check, succesfully extracted the files. I fired up odin, put my phone into download mode, put all the AP, BL, CP and CSC files. When I clicked start, it failed, here is the log message:

Edit 2: When I try to flash, this is what appears on the phone: odin SW REV. check fail DEVICE 6 binary 5. I guess the firmware isn't correct? I also have the latest version of the 7.0 firmware for SM-G925F from SamMobile(and before my phone broke, I was also on 7.0).
