Updated my bootloader unknowingly, bootlooped my device, and can't find any firmware to match it.

[mustang7757]

I've tried the Verizon ones I have, one failed at sboot.bin and the other couldn't get past the pit file.

You tried different combinations, check update bootloader ?

 

[DarkMatter425]

Yes. I have tried an additional 2 more Verizon ones, but they both failed at sboot.bin with update bootloader checked.

 

[mustang7757]

How is the phone formated at the moment?
You have TWRP installed and what else ?

 

[DarkMatter425]

Other than whatever random bootloader came with the update and TWRP, I don't think I have anything else on my phone.

 

[mustang7757]

Yeah I'm not sure , you'll have to try different things . It's a older phone, unique firmware
It will take time ,trial and error for sure

 

[DarkMatter425]

At this point, I'm not sure how much else there is to try. Over the next few days I'll try whatever I can think of. I'll report back if I find anything good for future reference. Thank you for your time as well as introducing Prince Comsy Odin to me.

Alright. I believe I've identified the problem to the best of my ability incase anyone wants to try and figure it out. I currently cannot flash the sboot.bin and cm.bin files onto my phone. If I try and flash the ones for the SM-S906L (My phone), it fails due to the files having a binary of 1 while my device is on 2. If I try and flash the ones for the SM-G920V, it fails due to it being a different build, dispite the similarities between the devices. As everything else flashes correctly, I believe it is just these two files causing all the problems. The only option I can think of is to wait and hope someone decides to upload firmware for the SM-S906L with a binary of 2, as I know it exist since it's the reason I'm in this situation in the first place.

What's the region for this SM-S906L

 

[DarkMatter425]

I guess TFN is the answer to your question. I live in the US and get service from Tracfone.

Ok I will check on this tomorrow as I dont have access to my computer with the sites I look up

 

[DarkMatter425]

Thank you for all your help.

Thank you for all your help.

Your welcome hopefully we get this going

 

[mustang7757]

I tried to find this firmware no luck .
I look over some xda forums they have some articles on your stock firmware maybe read over or get in touch with a member there otherwise no other options available

 

[DarkMatter425]

I'm currently trying to get into contact with some of the websites that host firmware downloads to see if they can help.

Yeah definitely , can try smart switch emergency recovery system but don't know if it will work on a older device , that's the issue with older firmware hard to get .
