I got my GNP 12.2 (SM-P900) a few weeks ago and just tried to root it using Odin and download.chainfire.eu/384/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.zip
However it paused at cache.img and after 10 minutes or so it just failed.
I've tried it a few times, but same thing, and on start up all I get is "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I tried Kies 3 and Kies 2.6 but they both say my device is not supported, even if I try to go into Tools and do it it says the model name is incorrect and doesn't even give me an option to enter the serial number :-\
I looked around for a stock ROM but the closest I could find was the P901 and P905 (But I am the P900)
I don't really know what to do, so any advice would be much appreciated :angel:
Actually got Kies working, was just entering the model # wrong
This could probably be deleted / etc, not really sure how to do that

bump?
I'm having the same exact issue. I can get it into download mode. I've tried Kies several times and it keeps failing. Originally, I was using odin 3.07 to auto root on the sm-p900. During the process, the screen got this weird rainbow pixelated look, and odin told me the process has failed. It is now stuck on the error message "Firmware update has encountered an issue..."
Now I'm not really sure what to do. I've tried to reboot from download mode, and that sends me right back to the error message.
Any ideas?

IIRC you need to reflash recovery and you should be able to boot up again.

I'm sorry if I sound stupid but how do I reflash the recovery? I keep searching for a recovery ROM but I can't find anything, so I must be misunderstanding something here.

Thank you very much. In case anyone else is wondering. I ended up asking the problem with Samsung kies, using the upgrade feature rather than emergency recovery. Wiped all my data but u have my tablet back.
Kind of wondering what went wrong with the root attempt. I followed the instructions to the T.

Did you use Odin 3.0.7 or 3.0.9? 3.0.7 is included with CF and MUST be used even though 3.0.9 is the latest. If odin was already installed on your PC and you used 3.0.9 bad things are going to happen.

I myself have tried odin 3.07 and .09 and mine just hangs when cache is being written to. A full green bar but will not move pass the cache portion of the install.

I tried both as well, and that's exactly what happened to me. During the process, my screen went all screwy and that's when it told me the process had failed.
I had some of the problems mentioned above. My attempt to flash CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.tar.md5 failed using Odin3-v3.07.exe.
It tries for several minutes and then says failed.
I then used Kies (not Kies 3) to reflash the tablet to factory settings. Here its important to know that Kies will never "connect" you have to ignore that and go to tools and "firmware upgrade and initialization". Google "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue” – Got This Error While", the first result on "droidviews" is the guide i used to fix this.
I then went into the settings and enabled "USB Debugging". Something i had forgotten before. I tried to flash the root file again, but it still failed.
Given that i was able to reflash the firmware with kies, i would say my USB port / cable / drivers must all be good.
What else should i try?

For those getting stuck or failing root, Make sure your usb drivers are updated in Kies 3 then flash stock recovery in Odin 3.07. Don't get mixed up with stock firmware (over 1GB) and stock recover (only around 20MB).
Stock recovery is here:

Question, what is the purpose of the Stock recovery and CWM recovery?
Also, after trying three times, i was able to get the flash to work. After each failier i used Kies (not kies 3) to flash back to factory. Would these recoveries have helped? Maybe i wouldn't have lost data?

Stock recovery is what your device originally comes with. CWM recovery is a modified version of that and it allows you more functionality.
When I messed up my update and root, my device would not boot up at all. I flashed the stock recovery and that enabled me to successfully root. No data was lost, no factory reset was needed and all my apps and settings were unchanged.
Don't mean to bump this thread, but I'm having the same issue. Odin 3.07 hangs up when it gets to cache.img, and it's non-responsive. I don't care about rooting it, I just want a stock firmware back. I've tried the files that Russbad posted, same issue. Running Note Pro 12. SM-P900 on 4.4.2.

Try this: With your device unplugged from your PC, open Kies 3, go to tools tab and uninstall the drivers. Then plug your device in and reinstall drivers.
I don't know if it makes a difference but if you get your device to boot up, enable developer options and check USB debugging.
Also make sure you are using the cables that came with your Tablet.
Then flash stock recovery and flash stock firmware.
If it still fails, check that your downloaded firmware and recovery are not corrupted, download them again.
Also try these procedures using different USB ports.
Good luck!

I found the issue, it should work with everyone with it. Some people don't have the .md5 extension enabled in their archive viewer, so by simply removing the .md5 (left with CF_XXXX.tar), and flashing that it works 100% fine.

I finally got mine rooted by simply trying over and over. I re-downloaded the CF flash tool and used 7zip to extract it several times, and used a different usb port at least once. Not that I really thought there was a problem with my extraction or the download or my USB port. But from what i have seen posted, you just have to try it 3 or 4 (maybe even 10) times until you get lucky and it works.
I did at one point try to recover my Note 12.2 with the "recovery.img" instead of flashing it with a full factory re-image (which causes data loss) but that didn't work for me ether. But I later had good luck with using Odin 3.09 to flash TWRP. So at least I now have a good custom recovery and backup tool.
okay everyone, I'm going to try these methods and report on what happened. Thank you for being so helpful. :cyclops:

FINALLY! :laugh: I got it to root!
I ended up using a different computer in the end and used Kies 2.6 for the drivers. I tried this a total of maybe 8 or 9 times, and it worked on the second attempt on the second attempt.
For the record, I left "md5" in the file when rooting, and that's when it worked.
After flashing a volume mod, everything went to hell with my phone(stock rom)I for force closes on chrome/andora and i couldnt use my phone since i keep clicking ok to the fc's notification but they kept coming back.
so i decided to do a factory reset but i dont know what went wrong that now in recovery when i click reboot after the reset it says NO OS INSTALLED DO YOU WANT TO REBOOT?
does this mean i need to flash a new rom or what? I was on the stock rom and i kinda want to go back to that but i dont kno what went wrong
no os probs!

So you can get into recovery? if so did you make a backup before sound mod? I know tdunham was one of the gents that made the sound mod, not sure which one your using created by who? Tdunham has a restore file for volume if problems arise. so if your using his awesome mods you should send him message. If all else fails or you are jus lazy just odin the firmware file required for your phone. Everything will be the same as before jus not rooted so reroot with method you have used not sure when you got phone but I heard towel root doesn't trip knox.

i used a volume mod to remove the high volume notification
im thinking of odin the firmware but i dont want to lose my internal storage.
I cant make a backup because in recovery it tries to save to internal and i dont have space, i cant figure out how to make it go to sd card.

Oh if u do not have developer options activated while on same screen in settings in about phone click the build section seven times it will make developer options appear, then go into developer options which shows in your settings now and activate usb debugging, you this so u can interface with odin, and oh yeah our phones need to be in download mode to flash firmware, assuming u used towel root since u havent used odin yet?!?! You can get into download mode by pressing and holding volume down, home button and power button. Let me know bro!

well i cant boot phone so i cant check what firmware since recovery says no OS installed.
what is driving me crazy is my pc recognizes the phone but odin doesnt
i plug in phone the driver installs but then i get a message with modem failed intallation WTF?
this is the same pc i used to root
is there a way to do this WITHOUT using pc for example downloading a flashable file and do this all through recovery
also when i am in recovery and i press system boot i get a message that says YOUR DEVICE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ROOTED INSTALL SUPER SU SWIEPE TO INSTALL??
wtf happend , all i did was factory reset after a bad volume mod
im coming from an evo 4g and it seemed way simpler than this

Okay so u have no nandroids??? If not check the box your s5 came in they usually have the firmware it comes with printed on box. If you dont have that either, i would to jus download ne5 which the most recent firmware has new modem, still rootable, and it will put os back on your phone. After you do this make nandroid! They are your best friend!!!! Oh yeah odin isnt recognizing your phone because on samsung phones there is a download mode, with phone turned off, press volume down home button, and power all at same time keep holding till download mode iniates. It will say like loading custom os blah blah...press up on volume and presto odin is recognizing your phone.

As far as making your computer fully recognize and through ODIN(hope u pressed up button once in download mode makes odin recognize!) I would uninstall those old drivers, type into google s5 samsung drivers, prob doesnt mean a hoot but to just to be extra precise, download install new ones. Maybe try different odin 3.07 ....and when u run odin make sure u are extracting package if zip and right click program once extracted and run a administrator. No need to touch any settings once in ODIN besides loading firmware. Fell asleeo sorry for late response.
Download and install cnexus stock rom from the dev section. That should get you running again.
Do you have twrp? Sounds like you wiped the system instead of doing a factory reset.

I will try to uninstall everything and delete samsung registry keys as i saw something in google that it might help.

Hit thanks by accident. Yes it should work although I haven't done it on the S5. Once you get a computer working you can use odin 3.09 and flash my full tar no data file. This will get you up to full NE5 without wiping data.

It depends on where you are now. If you are ND2 now then by flashing the Rom (system) you are only bringing your system up to NE5. To get all of the other firmware up to NE5 you need to do it with Odin on a computer. Because some of the firmware won't update using Mobile Odin.
If you are already on NE5 then you don't need to do anything else after installing the rom from recovery.

This may sound stupid, but at the expense of stating the obvious, are you using the original usb charger cable that came with your phone to connect to your pc. If not, you should. I had this problem 2 phone generations ago, I thought I had bricked my phone. Use the original cable. All other usb cables are a Crap shoot.

im going to delete all samsung traces from my pc and try again( I rooted with this pc which is odd)
So when I was trying to unlock my phone via my fingerprint, i didn't have my finger on there correctly 1 to many times and locked my phone. I couldn't remember my passcode and had to log into it via my google account. It then restarted and now won't boot. Gives me the "custom binary blocked by FRP lock" Tried flashing the root tar file and TWRP tar file with no luck. Don't know what to do as I have never came across this before. Any help is appreciated. Phone is rooted but stock.
They holding volume up, home and power when the phone is off. Should get you into recovery. Then do a factor reset. Not sure if this will work though.

The phone is rooted so flashing the tar file for root or TWRP is useless because its already rooted. The problem is you locked the phone with your fingerprint. Did you make a backup? You can restore that and you should be good beause it resets the device completely. However, if you did not, then flash the stock tar file in Odin and you'll be good to go. You can find the stock tar file here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62536311&postcount=1
I can confirm it works. You will just have to reroot because it returns the phone to stock out the box.
Due to FRP (Factory Reset Protection) by Google, You won't be able to flash any custom files to phone, it'll always fail, To be able to flash any custom files, You have to enable "allow OEM unlocking" from developer menu, which will disable the FRP lock, But this is not possible in your case since you can't access the menu, But since you're rooted, i assume that you enabled "USB Debugging", So now connect the phone to PC and run CMD and try the following commands one by one,
adb devices # this should list your device
adb shell
su
cd data/system
ls #this will list all files in that dorectory
rm *.key #to delete all .key files which contains the lock
and you're done.

Due to FRP (Factory Reset Protection) by Google, You won't be able to flash any custom files to phone, it'll always fail, To be able to flash any custom files, You have to enable "allow OEM unlocking" from developer menu, which will disable the FRP lock, But this is not possible in your case since you can't access the menu, But since you're rooted, i assume that you enabled "USB Debugging", So now connect the phone to PC and run CMD and try the following commands one by one,
adb devices # this should list your device
adb shell
su
cd data/system
ls #this will list all files in that dorectory
rm *.key #to delete all .key files which contains the lock
and you're done.

He just said his phone is rooted, And i assumed that USB Debugging is enabled, So if you have the same case, You can connect your phone to PC and start using ADB as normal, Then you can follow my guide to get rid of any kind of screen security there, Simple like that.

I connected the phone to the PC whilst it was in Download Mode (that is the only mode I can boot into and it wouldn't see it).
Too late now anyway, as I've just flashed stock through ODIN

If your phone doesn't boot to system, Then you can't use my method, My method was all about saving the data on the phone, And if the data wasn't important to you, you can always flash the stock FW for your phone, Or even wipe the phone from recovery, And i can see you had no option since system doesn't boot up.

Interestingly I have just recovered it by flashing stock through ODIN and all I lost was root and Xposed. All my data etc is still there! :highfive:

Good for you, And that's because you've flashed an One-Package FW (AP only) which is simillar or newer than the one you had, In that case all your of your settings and data will be still there, And that applicable also for the screen security, Which you'll notice it being there if you had one before your phone got stucked at boot screen, Now i see what your problem was, Before now i thought it was about security. :highfive:

I actually didn't have any screen security. I know I had turned on OEM and USB Debugging, so not sure how OEM got turned off.
Anyways glad its sorted! Just finished re-rooting and I am back up and running!

You need to flash stock ROM, not custom ROM.

How do you get it to flash via odin? I keep trying and get a failure of the lock. Is there a specific method you did that i am not doing right?
Please help if you can. I don't want to have to go to warranty and pay a hefty fee.
I too am suck in FRP lock. I also can't get into TWRP or can't flash it on the phone.
I would really appreciate it.

Yes it did. Download the stock firmware from Sam Mobile and just flash it through ODIN whilst in Download mode. It kept all my apps and settings too.
So I have an S6 which was rooted, but I wanted to unroot and wipe everything, so I decided to flash the stock rom using Odin... (Keep in mind I've flashed this stock a few times using odin, and it's always went without a problem).
Unfortunately, when I tried to do it this time it gave the error "SW rev check fail device:3 Binary:1
I tried to just restart the phone after, but get an exclamation mark inside a triangle with the message "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software".
It'd be great if someone could help me out soon as i really need my phone, cheers!
EDIT: I can still access download mode, so hopefully that's a sign it's not completely screwed!
UPDATE: So I just though I would chance it and flash unikernel (Just out of randomness, don't know why), and it restarted my phone correctly... Unfortunately it isn't wiped or un-rooted, but happy to have it working at the moment!
I had the same issue yesterday...
get it fixed by using an other computer with the same odin version and the same rom.

That's strange, but I'll try it when I get my hands on one and see how it goes, thanks
Hey,
I was running Car HD Rom and just was in holiday when today on my way back suddenly navigation und music stopped and the phone then said "Downloading, do not turn of target". That continued, nothing worked. No boot in recovery, no system.
Now at home I downloaded the OFW via Samfirmware Tool and flashed it, all slots except the PIT. The phone started into the official Samsung recovery, and I pressed "reboot to system". Since then it is in a Bootloop. I tried to flash again but Odin says error "(DeviceInfo), also if I try to flash a older firmware. So yeah I'm clueless, knox is still triggered so warranty doesn't help much either.
Please help.
maybe vol down + Bixby + power to enter phone into download mode without going into recovery and try flashing the rom again with odin that way?
We need more info op. We cant help you if you dont provide us with details!
Device model would help alot.
Twrp installed?
Make sure you're not using a modified odin. In odins settings make sure you select the nand erase all option and repartition
G955F and I'm in DBT.
As said, only Download Mode works. Nothing else. And ofc after flashing the OFW there is no TWRP anymore. And as I said, I can't flash the OFW again since it runs into "DeviceInfo" error. It's standard Odin 3.12.3. Nand erase runs into "Write Error", re-partition doesn't work either. Everything via Odin runs into FAIL.

I just saw an hour ago this thread (eventhough it was created hours after my last answer) and tried the KIES way since everything in Odin is FAIL. After KIES was done the phone threw me into the official samsung recovery again just like before, I just tapped on "Reboot to system" again and now I'm like half an hour waiting again. So I guess that doesn't work either. Should I have done anything there? Like Factory Reset or delete cache? Is it even normal that it boots into recovery?
Now I'm totally locked. After an hour of waiting I tried again with Odin which failed, then I tried overall 4 times with Kies again which failed, and I just tried with SmartSwitch which failed also. I'm clueless..

KIES doesn't work for the S8+, you must use SMART-SWITCH!

Yeah but I said, SmartSwitch failed also.
I just found and tried this and it worked. I flashed again the latest firmware from Samfirmwares with Re-partition and Nand-erase in Odin, I'm back in the recovery again where I always get the error "failed to mount /efs". I'm afraid to press on "Reboot system now" because I guess it won't work just like before.
