Happy new year..
no sir, I made 0 modifications to the sboot file I provided.
I simply extracted it from the tarball and then repacked it into its own tarball in the same USTAR format that all sammy firmware comes in.
In my experience I have 3 issues or similar negative responses when flashing firmware
I've seen it fail because:
1) CROM lock wasnt removed (for variants such as the 9200 and 9208 that have it)
2) OEM UNLOCK was not turned on (if you reflash entire rom you might need to do this again? it is the default)
3) OLD VERSION OF ODIN CANNOT FLASH s6 and up. you need (im on my macbook I cant even remember what the proper version is now.... BE CAREFUL WHEN SEARCHIGN FOR A NEW VERSION, odin tends to get targetted for embedded malicious code.)
4) A cable that isnt sammy (more then just sammy work, but lots of cables cant do fast charge, and some cant do data only power, etc etc)
and of course last but not least... did you update to a new version of a bootloader that I havent mentioned in any of these threads? they didnt do it with the one I gave you, but eventually trhey will make a bootloader that blocks downgrading..
please ensure that you have the correct usb drivers and the correct odin version and then show me the exact odin response (screenshot would be ideal) and what bootloader are you on now?
