Hello everyone,
A few days ago I bought a second hand note 8 (SM-N950F (Exynos)) The phone was working pefertly until I messed it up! What happpened was I tried updating my phone manually through odin. The reason I tried this was because my device is running 7.1.1 (nougat) and I wanted to update to 8 (oreo) and not 9 (pie) for a few reasons. So I downloaded 8.0 from sammobile. Now a few things could of gone wrong here. First of all in odin I tried to flash the other CSC not the HOME CSC I don't know if this is what caused the problem. Secondly when choosing the country of the firmware (united kingdom) I had two options because my device is unlocked XEU or BTU I didn't think it would matter and I think I orginally downloaded BTU but I am not sure. Anyways fast forwarding to the flashing process and I add all the files to odin BL, AP CP, CSC. Auto reboot and F. Reset Time were ticked and I clicked start. Along the top with the big boxes I got a green box with 'PASS' my phone rebooted to screen that says 'samsung galaxy note 8' but in the top corner it shows a message that says ' KERNEL REV. CHECK FAIL Device:3 BINARY:1'. If my device is plugged in wall or laptop it goes into a boot-loop and if it isn't connected I see the message once and then my phone turns off. I have tried both install 7.1.1 and 8.0 several times with both the XEU and BTU versions but no success. Sometimes a 'PASS' in the first box , sometimes a fail. When I'm in download mode I noticed with the info about my phone I have 'CARRIER_ID: XEU' which is in red (thought that would be worth mentioning). To add to my problems I think my battery may be getting low but im not sure. When I try to charge it goes into a bootloop and im not sure if its charging so for the time being it is off.
Any advice would be appreciated, I not had this phone yet and I love it! I also cannot afford another one. That's why I bought myself a second hand one.
Thanks :
