SM-G930P bricked after root attempt, stock rom not flashing

[ImmortalQuail]

So I attempted to root my S7 using this root guide here and followed all the steps here but when i got to step 3 where you flash G930A.TAR odin says the proccess passed but my phone didnt reboot and started bootlooping, and attempting to boot the phone in recovery it just shows "recovery booting" in the corner without recovery actually launching.

After all that i attempted to flash several stock roms from sammobile for my model number to no avail, odin would either lag out on setup connection or fail within seconds of starting, heres an example
<ID:0/004> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..
<ID:0/004> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/004> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/004> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/004> emmc_appsboot.mbn

<ID:0/004> FAIL! (Auth)
<ID:0/004>
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

also tried smart switch but i dont have my serial number so cant do much there

however i tried to flash the G930A.tar file agan after it bricked and odin says it passed but it still bootloops

thats pretty much where im at now, all my usb drivers are up to date and i tried using both odin 3.12 and prince comsey without any differences

any help would be greately appreciated and if you need more info please let me know

I gonna help you if you've not fixed your phone.

First you need to download your last firmware (In this case for G930P -> QJ3 or QKx, x= 1 or 2, I don't remember the last number)
Download 7Zip and ODIN by Prince Comsey
Then go to this XDA post and download tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.10.7_by_mkh.mourad.zip

1. Install 7Zip
2. Extract files from your firmware (AP, BL, CP, CSC)
3. Right click on AP File (AP_G930PVPU5BXXX........MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5) and open with 7Zip
4. Extract the boot.img and recovery.img to Desktop (Make sure it ends with .img extension)
5. Extract the tar-Tool_Odin3.zip to Desktop
6. Copy boot.img and recovery.img to tar-Tool_Odin3 Folder
7. double-click on the "ImgToTar.MD5.bat" file. It should launch the tool for the conversion process.
8. Now you'll have boot.tar.md5 and recovery.tar.md5 in the tar-Tool_Odin3 Folder
9. Put your phone in Download Mode and launch ODIN by Prince Comsey, flash the files (recovery.tar.md5 to BL and boot.tar.md5 to AP)
10. Your phone will reboot so when the screen is turned off, immediately press the key combination again to access the download mode
11. Now you need to flash BL, CP and CSC with your original firmware files (BL_G930PVPU5BXXX........MULTI_CERT.tar.md5, CP_G930PVPU5BXXX.......MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 and CSC_SPT_G930PSPT5BXXX....MULTI_CERT.tar.md5)
12. Phone will reboot again, when the screen off, immediately press the key combination again to access the download mode
13. Now flash AP with original firmware file (AP_G930PVPU5BXXX.....MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5)
14. Now your phone will boot. Wipe cache and factory reset through Recovery Mode and now you can use your phone again.

I hope to help with your problem.

This is actually caused by you trying to root 7.0 firmware with a 6.0 root. Merely do the same process with this file.

I had the exact same problem with bootloops. You are following an outdated guide with outdated files!


Below is the tutorial I followed (in case you need it):

sm-g930 unable to restore stock

I have been playing around with root on my g930 (sprint on boost mobile) phone. After rooting I lost my phone activation. In an attempt to fix that I made things worse. Now it wont' boot into recovery mode. I followed the above steps but cannot flash BL or CSC, I get SW REV CHECK FAIL : [cache]Fused 5 > Binary 1 (or 5).

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Just Odin a firmware that is ver 5. Look at the firmware and go back 5 digits. Look for one with a 5 in that place.

I was able to flash the new OS after trying a ton that gave me the binary issue. It rebooted and just went back into a recovery loop and there is no recovery.
I tried to unpack my AP file and grab the boot and recovery images I exported them and converted successfully to .tar.md5 batch tool but they wont flash individually. is it because with the Snap dragon processor you have to flash the whole file at once? The only time i can successfully flash anything is when its the 100% firmware file in the form of HOME_CSCxxxxx in the AP slot in odin. ive tried some unlocked bootloader methods but have not been successful in getting the bootloader unlocked. Can I use an external SD card with a bootable recovery without rooting the device? Its secure boot and Rev check are active.
