Hi all,
I downloaded the upgrade by going to the upgrade check and proceeded, then I found the phone was stuck at a screen similar to CWM recovery with the "reboot now" option selected. I went ahead and selected that and the process completed.
After that, I tried to upgrade my wife's one s. This time the process completed after several reboots, however, the recovery screen was never shown.
Now, here is the interesting thing... I check the CRC for both phones. They have identical CRC values for everything, except for system. My phone is: 0x591141D4, my wife's is 0xDA05AFE0.
Now I am wondering if I had a bad upgrade. I would appreciate if you can share your CRC for system.
Bad luck for me too
I susessfully upgraded my device but my Wifi got error and its completly dead and non-usable.
I need help too...........................

Hi
I think my problem is in worst situation ever.
First, I was on CM11.
Then I heard VZW GS3 finally got 4.3 update, so I just went back to 4.1.2 official firmware.
Then my problem started.
I got that update, and then boot was successful.
However, all of my game data and pictures were gone.
So I tried to fix that because I thought that game data and pictures were still remain at some where.
Why?
cause the memory usage showed to me it was 4GB left.
it was same amount as when I was in 4.1.2 with all the data and pictures.
so, I tried to go back to 4.1.2, but I couldn't.
And I was using CWM latest version for GS3, but OTA disable it.
So every time that I trying to go to recovery mod, it shows "System software not authorized blahblahblah..."
Anyway, then I try to boot that system nomarly.
I thought it will going to boot, but it shows Samsung Galaxy S3 logo, then booted again.
then shows "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless blahblahblah..."
Then I try to flesh CWM 6.0.1.2 recover by odin 3.07, but it keep shows Failed.
I look up to phone error message was
Secure check failed : recovery.
It didn't installed.
So, I fleshed into stock recovery, and it installed perfectly.
So I did factory reset, and wipe caches, but still same.
It is not booting.
keep showing
System software not authorized.........
is any solution that I can do with now?
(sorry for my bad English.)
Hi! So, my father's old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5110 (bought 5 years ago) has gotten into a bootloop. It's an odd case. Basically, it's like the device is completely read-only.
To describe the symptoms:
It boots into the OS, but after 30 seconds or so it suddenly restarts. The device cannot be turned off (it just reboots and reboots and reboots...), so it empties the battery if left unplugged.
I can enter download mode and recovery mode, where the device is stable.
The device is not rooted.
I tried to flash it with TWRP recovery (it worked on my mother's tablet; exact same model, but no problem like this), but the recovery mode is always unchanged. I've flashed with Odin 1.8*, Odin 3.0*, and latest Heimdall; it always completes, but nothing changes. I've learned about having to boot to recovery after flashing due to a script replacing custom recovery, but even when I go directly to recovery mode, it's the same old stock recovery.
I decided to try another approach, by uninstalling apps during those short 30 second intervals of functioning OS; I got to uninstall one app (AVG anti-virus software), but after the reboot, the app was installed again.
I tried to go into recovery mode to do "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition", but even that did nothing! Everything is where it was.
I can use ADB in recovery mode, so I tried to see if I could do some damage there, but the tablet is unrooted, and no rooting works either. (Tried rooting with Odin and "apply update from external storage" in stock recovery.) Couldn't find a writable directory to upload a su executable into either.
Just now I finished a 90 minute flashing of some Chilean stock firmware -- although I'm Swedish -- to see if that made things "rewritable", but guess what? All the old apps and files and settings were still there, in Swedish.
At this point I'm starting to suspect that I could hit it with a sledgehammer and it would just return to normal after a minute.
My father is not poor (just a bit cheap!), so buying a new tablet isn't a big deal, but I'm ostensibly a computer engineer...ing student, so it feels like a surrender to leave it unsolved. What might be the problem? Can memory in these devices become read-only due to some hardware fault?
Risky suggestions are welcome. If it's bricked, that's no problem.
EDIT: Whoops! My father ordered a new tablet; I was still going to experiment on the old one, maybe get it working again, but it seems that he went and tried the sledgehammer mode on it. But what happened is still an open question.
Hi all,
Long-time lurker - used info here ages ago to mod a tablet, but right now I'm working on my fiancee's phone, which is an unrooted Galaxy S7.
Yesterday, her phone took a complete **** out of nowhere. It spontaneously rebooted, said it was applying an update, and then the Android dude fell over with an exclamation mark next to him. She had just finished recording some audio that she *really* wants to get back (a press conference she got into at Comic Con).
The message now on the phone is:
Phone storage corrupt
The data partition has been corrupted. You need to reset your phone to factory default settings. This will erase all your data.
I've tried to connect to Windows and I can't get at the device - I have no way to change whatever connection mode it's going into by default. I've also tried getting into the phone through ADB, but the device isn't recognized.
I could really use some advice here
Anyone?
Thanks,
-Jeff

Reboot into recovery/download mode and see if you can access adb. If not flash stock firmware in Odin (Not csc, as that will wipe data)
If flashing stock works, I would flash stock again after you get the data you want (including csc the second time)
Sent from my SM-G935U using XDA Labs
Eek. The data header gets marked as corrupt when this message appears. Chances are it will reappear after reflashing and because Samsung encryption is proprietary it will be hell to recover. If Craz's suggestion fails you may need to chalk this one up as a loss
Hi, i have samsung galaxy tab 2 (P5100) with no root. It started to restart 5-10 seconds after android starts... (i dont have time to go the settings or to do something before restart).
I tried to clear cache and factory reset from recovery but it doesnt work. (in recovery it shows done but when i reboot system, no changes are made)...
I also tried to flash new stock room with odin but it failed every time ( i use different versions of odin, different rooms and different pits). it fails after NAND write or system.img.
Im also not able to flash new recovery... in odin it pass but when i start recovery mode there is no change...
Does someone have similar problem? Im afraid that it could be problem with motherboard or memory.
In recoveory i see this error:
# MANUAL MODE #
--Appling Multi-CSC...
Aplied the CSC-code : ORS
failed to compare '/system/csc/common/system/app/MH_10_TCS_Tablet.apk' '/system/app/MH_10_TCS_Tablet.apk' (no data available)
Thank for any help.
Your tablet may have the emmc bug, sorry but only a mother board replacement or emmc firmware update will fix it
Same problem, not yet solved.
I also have a samsung tab 2. We bought it around 2013 and started to have problems around 2015. My device started to reboot out of nowhere, infinitely, randomly. I tried to look for patterns. Couldn't find any. But i noticed something, it's stuck on it's current state. When i do things like install an app or take/delete pictures, when it restarts, everything i did would be gone and it's back to it's "current state". App that i installed? Not there. Pictures i've taken? Gone. Pictures i've deleted? It's there again. Even a hard reset won't do anything. When i do a hard reset and it reboots again, guess what, back into it's "current state" again. I've read about it on some forums, i think it's hardware related. Emmc. A notoriously bugged chip, where when you clear your cache or flash it with a new os or something like that. Boom! Brickbug. I tried sending it to the samsung dealership where i bought it. They checked it. They said the motherboard needed to be replaced, which was very expensive. I'd rather buy a new one. Now it's 2018, i'm hoping they've found an alternative to fix this tablet.
Hi, here's a description of what happened, what I did to solve my problem, and where I am now...
I left my Google Pixel and 2 hours later found it stuck into a booting loop (Google logo displayed > black screen > Google logo displayed > blackscreen...).
I first entered fastboot and tried to power off, restart, etc a few times, but it stayed stuck into the booting loop.
So I downloaded latest OTA from Google for my phone (my phone was already updated to the latest version via the phone update manager, which goes back to december 2019 I think).
I first verified that my linux pc could correctly see the devices, and then from fastboot I entered recovery mode and chose "Apply update from ADB".
I used the adb command to load the OTA I had downloaded.
The update progressed until it finished with the following error message :
Code:
install from ADB completed with status 1
Installation aborted
E:Failed to clear BCB messages: failed to write /dev/block/platform/soc/62400.ufshc/by-name/misc: I/O error
I was back on the recovery menu screen, and this is where I think I did something stupid : I selected "Reboot system now".
The phone did not reboot, the screen just went black and stays black. The phone is cold so I guess not running anything. And it does not respond to any button, so not starting up, no fastboot, etc. No more when I connect it to a PC or plug it in a power plug.
I don't really care about the phone, I was just trying to get back my picture/videos from the last 6 months.
I don't have much hope but I will appreciate any help, even if its just to confirm that there is nothing to do

Well you could try and see if the phone is in deep flash mode, if it is flash system, boot and other sensitive partitions but make sure that the versions are the same. If you don't have the firmware you can pull user data partition from phone and get your data back that way

Thanks for your help. This is probably beyond my capabilities. I don't know how to check if it's in deep flash mode. Pulling the data out is what I'm interested in most.
Maybe this is something that a phone repair shop is able to do...

These phones get emmc errors. Common issue with this device
