Oh, hmm, i can't start my phone before because i follow a guide that teach how to upgrade firmware, and download file with it, but it teached me to click at the Re-partition, and the firmware file that he ask me to download, got problem. So, after i follow what he teached, and my upgrade failed. That's make my phone can't boot or works. AFter that i keep on searching and searching, and found that i don't have "cache" or others setting inside my phone, and that's all are inside the" PIT" file, so i download a PIT file, and install it with Odin, by put it in the "PIT" setting, but don't click at the Re-partition. Haha, now, my phone live back. =) Of course, i download others firmware version too, and install it again.
PIT file?

Okay i have a question about the T959v. Here are the facts: Phone was flashed with ODIN but the repartition box was checked. It was my fault because i didn't double check before flashing. Now the phone is in a recovery bootloop when i try to turn it on. I can reach DOWNLOAD MODE but then again if i try to flash it again same thing will happen. Is there something i can do or is the phone bricked because of that???? Thanks in advance!
What's the rom you are flashing?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Stock kd1 but i have some other roms like gingerbread...
Im using the .831 pit file also, but i have tried without the pit file and nothing. Also tried without repartition checked but it will do the same thing. Problem is that first time i flashed i had repartition checked

And your sure the rom is for the sgs4g and not the vibrant, right? Because the two are majorly different...

Yes i am, like i said the mistake i made was leaving the repartition option checked. For some reason the phone has a boot loop and when i hit reboot now on recovery it says failed to mount /data invalid argument. Never had something like this happened before and i have flash a ton on galaxys

I think Odin will auto re partition when you flash the pit. You can un check it and it should be fine either way.

I may be wrong but...
I think you need the csc. If your just flashing the pit and pda your missing the other partitions. I think when you repartitioned it wiped the partitions and you are missing one or more.

I had the same problem that you are experiencing. The fix for me was to get a full Factory load that was verified to be for the GalaxyS4G. Which is the model number that you listed. The Odin that I loaded is T595VUVKF1. This requires that you load each file in the proper Odin category. Use the Pit file, PDA, Phone and CSC files. Leave the repartition box checked and you should get your stock image back, from there you can install CWM and flash another image.
Allright thanks a lot! I knew something like that was happening but i have not been able to find a firmware with those files divided i mean the csc,pda, and phone files separated. Everything i found has been the package that you just file in pda... If anybody know where to find that i appreciate the link.

How do I get back to 2.3.5 UCKJ2? I already tried using Odin and flashing stockrecovery.tar and no luck still stuck on ICS. I downloaded SGG-I727-UCKJ2-k0kane.7z and also SGH-I727UCKJ2_I727ATTKJ2.rar but when I go into dl mode computer can't recognize these two files or just can't find them.

You probably need to unzip the .7z and .rar file to use them. I believe Odin only "sees" .tar files.
Make sure you read the instructions carefully and know what you're doing.

K0nane's thread should work for you if you read and follow the directions.
SamMobile.com also has original Skyrocket firmware that flashes via Odin. The SamMobile version is a more complete install that is reported to not trip the counter and show as "original Samsung firmware". I havn't tried either version so you need to read for yourself before you ask any questions or try anything.

ODIN doesn't look for files. You need to tell them where there are by clicking on PDA and choosing the tar from wherever location you saved it.

You need to unzip the files with an extractor. It has to be a .tar file to get Odin to see it. Plain and simple.

Yeah since its a .7z and .rar file, you'll need to download WinRar or 7zip to unzip them.
Winzip probably won't suffice. Good luck.

I strongly suggest you completely stop what you are doing and actually do a little research and reading before you go any further. Every issue you have encountered has been identified many times and is always caused from people not taking the time to learn about what they are doing for they jump right in. YOU WILL END UP WITH A BRICKED PHONE IF YOU CONTINUE WITHOUT READING AND RESEARCHING!
The Kies message was brought up several times today in other threads relating to this ICS leak. You need to read all of the threads related to it.
I mentioned the counter in this very thread...if you would have read it. The baseband (radio) isn't flashed with K0nane's TAR or most other ROMS (unless otherwise stated). You have to go to the "Radio" thread in the DEV section and flash it through CWM seperately. It has been reported (by others) that the firmware at SamMobile WILL flash the correct modem and (I'll say it again) will not trigger the counter.
DO what you want, its your phone, but if you aren't going to take the time to learn about what you are doing you will be the owner of a bricked phone.

Hello,
I do need some help now. I believe i've followed all directions, but am not having success.
Again, my device is a Samsung N8000 Note 10.1. Purchased from Eplus Germany
I have read the directions in how to use Odin, and have followed them precisely.
Drivers installed.
Original Firmware downloaded (N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar). But, in the compresesed file that I downloaded there was also another file (SS_DL.dll). Anyone know what this means?
I copied both files into the directory of Odin v3.12.13.
began Odin, then put the tablet into download mode, then connected it to my computer. There was a sound from my computer recognizing the tablet.
I then added the file firmware file (N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar) into Odin under the AP tab. I checked that the re-partiton box was not checked, then klicked onto Start. But Odin failed after about 3 seconds.
Can anyone please help me here?
thanks.
Use tar file only .

Hello, sorry but i need some more help here please.
I've downloaded what i believe is the stock firmware for my device from updato.com: GT-N8000_EPL_1_20150303173500_n47626s3xd
This is a zipped package with two file in it:
N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar.md5
and
SS_DL.dll
I've put both of these files into the directory where ODIN is. I have downloaded and tried serveral ODIN versions: v1.85, v3.10.6, v3.12.7, v3.12.3, v3.07
None of them work. After loading the tar file, ODIN begins, then after about 3 seconds stops and show the message "fail".
Attached is a screen shot of ODIN once i've loaded the tar file, and one that shows after the fail.
I've also added a picture of my note 10.1 N8000 while in download mode.
Anyone can help me here?
thanks.
Download file .
Unzip file .
Put file on desktop .
Open Odin
Locate tar file only and add to PDA or AP
firmware that you are trying to install is a downgrade and the secure bootloader (sboot) is blocking it.

Hello, and thanks.
What you have described above is exactly what i am doing. Are you saying that the reason it does not work is because the bootloader is blocking it? If so, how do i get around this?
I would really like to "upgrade", rather than downgrade. But at the moment i cannot find any other firmwares for my device. A few years ago I saw several ones, but not anymore.
Do you have a suggestion of which firmware I should install, and where i can get this?
Again, thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate it.

Hi guys,
I am having trouble recovering my galaxy s4. I have downloaded odin and stock firmware and followed the tutorial to reflash firmware but it always fails with the same message Deviceinfo fail. I have attached a ic of the screen. The phone originally had German firmware on it at level 5.0.1 lollipop. I can get the phone into the right state to flash and have tried several different BG firmwares
GT-I9505_1_20161201163515_lgwvgkwp4u
I9505XXUGNG8_I9505YXYGNH2_BTU
I always end up with the same error. It would be great if some guru could give me a hint on what I am doing wrong. BTW I am running windows 10 the Galaxy drivers I am using are 1.7.43.0 and Odin3 is V3.14.4.
Cheers Guys

Here is your solution:
Boot into download mode by pressing ( Volume Down + Power + Home button) and stop at the screen of continue and reboot.
Quickly boot back into download mode by pressing (Volume Down + Power + Home button)
Press continue.

Tutorials here are revised and trustworthy, what's not trustworthy is the user who's is flashing the phone. As I specifically said "If you're new to this" which means if anything goes awry, it's your fault and no one is responsible. Of course someone here would help you if that happens and you ask nicely.
Flashing UK variant might cause issues with the SIM services on the device, like issues with calls, messages, etc.
Flashing a different ROM doesn't necessarily mean you have a better device.

As I specifically said "If you're new to this" which means if anything goes awry, it's your fault and no one is responsible. Of course someone here would help you if that happens and you ask nicely.
Flashing UK variant might cause issues with the SIM services on the device, like issues with calls, messages, etc.
Flashing a different ROM doesn't necessarily mean you have a better device.

Thanks for the info and accept what you say. it maybe I have tried to flash the wrong image on the phone and got myself in this position as I didnt want the german image with its apps. We all have to learn somewhere and have had no issues other times but I am trying to recover from this now and XDA is where I am looking for support.
Cheers

I already gave you the solution, this should put your device in download mode and solve the problem with odin.
After following these steps, just flash ROM files.

I think you may have to format the partitions and flash the ROM. Doing so will delete everything on your device.

Just in case you don't know how to:
Extract PIT file from CSC file.
Open Odin and put the PIT file in the PIT tab.
Check re-partition option in options tab.
Put BL, AP, CP and CSC files and flash.
To extract the PIT file from the CSC file:
Rename the CSC file extension from MD5 to ZIP then extract it in a folder.
Rename the CSC file extension back from ZIP to MD5.
Only put files from the UK variant or whatever ROM your going to flash.

Hi XDHx86 I think I know what's going wrong here. All the images I have downloaded have 1 x.MD5. and 1 x.dll in them.
EG: I9505XXUHOJ2_I9505BTUHOJ1_I9505XXUHOJ2_HOME.tar.md5 and SS_DL.dll. Although some of the downloads say there should be 4 files. BL AP CP & CSC. I dont see any of these? In odin I have been clicking on AP and pointing to the md5 fil which fails. I think I need to get an image that has those 4 files.
Thanks again for your help on this

You can get your firmware from here. Whether it's stock or other variants that you want.

Haha, that's really unexpected situation. I don't think anyone would have predicted that.
Anyway glad it worked out in the end.
