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?

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.

Sweet, glad you got it working but i recommend you do it again with kj6 official GB. kf1 was the first GB leak we got. It has a borked boot loader file so good luck with recovery and download mode

When it comes down to it here's the order to get ext4 and nameless kernel on your GB rom only.
MUST HAVE THE FOLLOWING FILES.
EP1H ON PC http://www.multiupload.com/MU_PRZ9RUD9ZZ
NEW CWM ON PC http://www.multiupload.com/31963EOUA0 *MUST DELETE MD5 EXTENSION
EXT4 FORMAT ALL ON SD http://www.mediafire.com/?6hx7f8g7c8vv6xz
KERNEL CLEANUP SCRIPT ON SD http://www.mediafire.com/?302ofs64v4ibp9l
NAMELESS KERNEL ON PC. http://www.multiupload.com/M7UYRWDE4R *MUST DELETE MD5 EXTENSION
Wipe all
Odin EP1F/H Leak
Odin new CWM (orange) *MUST REINSERT BATTERY BEFORE YOU ODIN THIS
Wipe all again
In CWM Flash ext4 format all
In CWM Mount system, data, etc. NOTE* MUST MOUNT EXTSTORAGE
In CWM Flash your rom one that supports this... (preferably Eclipse touchwiz)
In CWM Flash kernel cleanup script
Odin Nameless Kernel *MUST REINSERT BATTERY BEFORE YOU ODIN THIS
reboot...samsung will flash about 6 to 8 times before it boots
P.S. Forget the quadrant score once you get this you can feel the power your device was meant to have. However I score in the 1500s.
And here I thought I tried every combination of things lol. I will give this a try once my childrens go to bed. How is that eclipse rom btw? Everything stable and working? If you have time will you provide links to all the necessary files. If not I can rewrite the OP for you with all of them in there.
I would greatly appreciate if the OP had links to all the necessary files. I'm dying to get the most out of this amazing device but this site is somewhat difficult to navigate even with the attempts to establish a template for naming threads.

eclipse is awesome and stable. The only reason it has a bug or 2 (nothing major) is because the gb leak came like that. I am very picky and extremely happy with this setup. Now that im on this i will never return to ee4.:d

In recovery you can see the option to wipe data factory reset, wipe cache and in advanced recovery you will see wipe dalvik. Doing this is what i mean by wipe all.

Ok another question:
Why would you want the new recovery (minus the md5 extension) on the SD card when you are using ODIN to push it to the phone? Wouldn't you want it on the phone? In the steps it says on SD.
Sorry I've never flashed kernels only roms so this is new for me.

The new CWM stays on your PC and you Odin it. You have to erase the MD5 extension for it to work. Just follow those steps exactly and you will be fine. The dev that created the CWM created it to be flashed thru Odin.

I understand that. I erased the md5 extension and it turned into a zip file. The instructions say on SD in the OP. That's why I was confused. So I shouldn't put it on the SD card, correct
EDIT:
It turned into a tar file when I deleted the extension, not zip

Where would I get the PIT file?
I think I found a Stock EE4 md5 I can use but I have no clue on the PIT file...
I've spent a while looking around but not sure if I am looking at the correct stuff lol.
Any links would be highly appreciated!

Just did the same thing pretty easy fix just get the pit http://www.mediafire.com/?kk62yxpp8b8x918 and the stock file http://www.multiupload.com/LNTF3IKJ21
Make sure the drivers for your phone are installed...that youve connected the phone to the pc before. If you have a newer PC dont use the usb3 slot. Unplug battery from the phone do not connect yet...Open Odin Place the pit in pit section the stock in pda check off repartition. Hold the volume down and plug in the phone to usb. Once odin sees the phone upper left youll see a yellow block replug the battery. (I take my sim card out when I flash dont know if its needed) then click start. After its done unlpug for the boot. Sould be at stock. Replace sim and renable the account.

Guys , i wanted to thank u for the info in this thread. it helped save my phone.
Hey guys .. im having this issue now , and the solution isnt working for me .. Odin doesnt fail ,it passes , but then just goes back to giving the error in the OP when i boot . Ideas?
are you putting the battery back in before you start to flash? I have seen it pass but still be screwy if not. Also you may want to try to download the files again could be something wrong with the download.
If none of that works, try going to ed2 instead of ee4.
why wouldnt you just do the EP4 full odin instead of any past versions? Odin the EP4 full file and use the PIT file and check repartition in Odin and uncheck the others....when flashing leave your battery in...IE with phone off...hold volume down then plug USB cable to phone

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.

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.

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.

So, this happened recently, and I fixed it. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735119
Well, outta no where, same basic issue, but with a twist.
This afternoon while I was asleep my GTab rebooted. It came back to the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus" splash screen and is stuck. I *can* get into download mode, and I can almost get into recovery. When I try to go into recovery, it loads what looks like it will be recovery, then says:
# Manual Mode #
-- Updating Application
Then a minute or so later it reboots right back to the GT7+ splash screen and stays there...
Twist:
So, knowing what I did last time, I installed Odin and the Samsung drivers on my POS computer at home, booted into Download Mode, and did the "PDA" option with the correct FW (same as I used last time for the T869 from SamMobile, I saved all the files). It runs through just fine, gets to the end and the Tab reboots. It then goes into recovery and and does a few things (I believe it said it was deleting the cache and a few other processes). Then, lastly, it again says:
"# Manual Mode #
-- Updating Application
... followed by a reboot, and back to hanging on the boot logo.
Any ideas?!? Ironically, I put it on CL today to see if I can sell it for enough to cover a Nexus7. I woke up to an offer, and a bricked Tab. Figures.
Any thoughts/help are greatly appreciated. The sooner the better. lol
Is it possible that I need to flash a good recovery in Odin? If so, what's the procedure. and can someone link me to the one I would need for the US TMobile 4G version of the GT7+?
Also, since flashing the stock FW isn't fixing anything, and it seems like a possible Recovery issue, a friend at work is suggesting I choose the option in Odin to delete the partitions.
Thoughts??? (quickly)
Damn dude, again?
I think there is 3 or 4 threads about this on this forum and same amount on 7.7 forum. None come to a cause our solution, seems like people repeats some procedures and out of nothing it works again.
When it happened to me a let its battery drain fully to the point it won't turn on anymore let it this way for some time. Then fully charged, this is a little harmful to your bat, for the record. Then try to turn on, it will take some time but eventually it could enter on the system.
I think the data partition got corrupted.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using Tapatalk 2
Yup.
So, I tried the option in Odin to re0make the partition, and every time I try it fails with an error of "Can't Open Package" (or something along those lines).
I have reinstalled the FW through Odin no less than 10 times, nogo. The first time I open recovery after flashing, It says it is installing a package, clearing cache, etc, and the last line always says "-- Updating Application". After 10-15 seconds, that goes away and it reboots only to hang on the GT7Plus splash screen again. Then, any time I go into recovery after that first post-Odin instance, if says:
"# Manual Mode #
-- Updating Application
Should I be trying to reinstall Recovery? If so, what do I use (link)? Also, how do I do that in Odin...
I believe that for use remake partition you have to provide the pit file if your stock does not have it.
Anyway I did that also about 3 times, providing the pit and the md5, they flashed ok, but the problem was the same. Did you tried the battery thing? Some guy give a tip to start with the usb plugged.

Hey buddy..
Which fw u using? T869 came shipped with 2 different, search for both of them and try each one...don't use repartition without the correct pit file...
Maybe not here but I google sgh-t869 factory and found a website with both tar

I'm not sure which file it is that I'm using, I'll have to look at home in a couple of hours. This happened to me a few weeks ago (link in original post), and I flashed this FW with Odin and it recovered, and has been fine since (till now), so I know it's at least a usable FW. I'll try to find the other one today.
I just tried finding the stock pit file for the TMo SGH-T869, but I can't find it. Anyone have a link to it by chance? Also, once I get it, what do I do (options to choose) in Odin to flash it?... and do I do it at the same time as the FW?
Thanks for any help! I was really hoping to sell it in the next day or two to fund the Nexus7, so now I'm really frustrated.
ETA: Also, I let it completely die, to the point it wouldn't boot. Then charged it for a bit and booted. Same issue.
I think that if u find the pit file they should be flash at the same time...fw in pda and pit in phone...(this need to be check to confirm) after flashing.. reboot into factory recovery wipe everything and try to boot
Hopefully u fix that today

When it happened to me, i flashed the pit first and at the same with stock with re partition checked, didnt help. I did everything that I could find and I feel like it only worked again by itself
You can look every single thread of this exact problem, the ones that got it back working can't really say how, they flash everything many times and it suddenly works.
The good things are that flash the stock ones don't increase you flash count, and as long as you can enter download mode you are not really s#%

Anyone have a link to the .pit for this model (T869)?
Also, I had a thought. When I go into Recovery, I get the following and then it reboots again:
# Manual Mode #
-- Updating Application
1. Is it possible that recovery is hosed, and overwriting it with a fresh version will allow me to wipe the device, set to factory and then boot? Maybe this is the issue?
2. Is it even possible to just flash a fresh copy of the recovery over whatever is there (or replace it)?
2.a. If it is possible, what file should I use, and do I do it though Odin? Anyone have a link to what I should use?
Thanks :good:

The problem is that there's is not development for t869 so there's not much to look for...just factory images and root method

Can anyone link me to the proper pit file? Also, in the linked thread a few posts back, there are a couple of files, will those work for this?
Can someone post the proper pit file for me so I can repartition? I'm doing this on my wife's phone because my internet at home is down till tomorrow...
Lastly, recovery. Since when I go into recovery it says "manual mode" then reboots, can I replace recovery only? Then I can wipe and whatnot in it and maybe that will do the trick. If so, can someone link me to the proper recovery and tell me how to do it in Odin? What happens if I watch the FW flash, then right after it completes the recovery portion, I unplug it? Bad?

i think u should forget about the pit file, couz the firmware have the pit repackage with the tar, im gussing u will only need the pit file in case u want to change the phone partitions, try to get those 2 fw and try them :good:
That's why I'd like the pit file, so I can check the option in Odin to re-partition.
So, I have internet at home now. I have now tried again letting it completely die, then completely charge, same issue. I have also tried 2 different versions of the SGH-T869 firmware.
Any thoughts?
Also, given what I have done so far, I posted this yesterday, any thoughts?

Yes. Unplug is bad. Possibly fatal. you should be able to.find a stock recovery.img in a stock Odin.tar, flash it with heimdall. Recommend factory reset beforeand after doing so.
I dont know about tmobile tabs but international ones look to apply CSC files after displaying that manual mode message. Perhaps something has gone awry with a CSC,etc.

Thank You. A few questions:
Would that stock recovery.img have to be model specific. i.e. for the SGH-T869, or could it be from any GT 7 Plus (or is it generic on all devices with HoneyComb)? I *think* from experience it has to be T869 specific, but it's worth asking.
Also, about Heimdall, where do I get that, and how do I use it to flash? I've heard of it, but never used it.
Lastly, about the CSC files. That makes sense seeing as what it's doing, so that *could* be the whole issue. How can I overcome that? Can I download and flash those files somehow? Do you have a link to them?
Thanks for the help everyone. I'm hoping that in doing all this, maybe whatever ends up fixing this will be a guide for everyone else having the issue...
OK, I saw a couple of you guys mention the 7.7 people having this issue, so I went there to research. If I am reading right, it *sounds* like this could be a solid mix of a data system being corrupted, and the stock recovery (Samsung e3?) being bad.
Someone mentioned that you can pull the stock recovery.img from a the firmware, make a .tar with only that, then flash that. Once that's done you can do a full wipe in recovery, flash the full FW, and hopefully be back in business.
I want to try this, and if it works, maybe we will have a proven solution for the people getting this issue. However, not only have I never created a .tar, I have especially never created a flashable .tar, so...
What do I do? Other than pulling the recovery.img from the FW, how do I do this?
I just installed the cyanogen 10 mod to my blaze and tried it. i went to this file manager that told me to reroot my phone so that I may be able to use it better. I went to odin to reroot it again but i accidentally used the original blaze.pit file on it and when it rebooted it showed me the original samsung starter instead of the cyanogen mod starter. That wasn't the problem, the problem was it never went in to the phones home screen or apps. Instead it continues to show the samsung logo and the flying android over and over again. I tried using the SGH-T769-hitsquad tar file to fix it (i need to mention that i bricked it once before and used this tar file to fix it) but it keeps taking me to the samsung logo. I can't even try to factory restore it because it just starts acting strange when I go to the menu. I can still go into download mode, i've gone searching for a file or anything to help me fix it but i can't find anything. Please, any suggestions?!
Here's a link to stock Tmo Blaze tar's from GB to ICS. ICS is the UVLH5 file. I suggest download that one.. then flash that file through odin.. dont include a Blaze pit file. just PDA file which is the one you'll download.
EDIT:
They're the ones ontop of the page that says Firmwares for SGH-T769 - USA (T-Mobile)
Let me know if it works for you.

Yeah, all you need is to reflash cwm through odin or if you still have cwm just flash a superuser or supersu zip.

Which superuser.zip should i use?
This thread should help you.
Just use that superuser.zip file, unless you want SuperSU, which I think it's better,

or do i have to wipe the caches and data again?
nvm, i did have to factory restore it. Thank you for the help
