Hi XDA,
I have a peculiar problem and I am hoping some of you can help me out.
I recently unlocked the bootloader using Adam Outler's original method. I installed CM10 kernel by Invisiblek. Everything was fine and dandy.
I wanted to try an update of the CM10 kernel, saved it in my Downloads. Booted CMW recovery, and here is where I made a stupid mistake... I formatted sdcard, formatted data, formatted system... etc. I then realized that now I do not have the kernel saved anywhere on my phone (/sdcard) anywhere.
In an attempt to get the kernel zip file on to my phone (root of sdcard), I hooked up my phone through USB to my Windows 7 PC (by this point I had installed Samsung USB drivers) and my phone didn't show up as a USB device.
I thought I had soft-bricked my phone and in order to bring it back, I then I downloaded ODIN3 and the stock VZW ICH-1535 firmware, booted into ODIN download mode with the device hooked up to the PC. I put the firmware .tar file into PDA, pressed Start and this is what ODIN gave me:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> HOME_I535VRALF2_I535VZWALF2_618049_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
I just want to install CM10 back on my device again.
Oh and I must mention that I have a FAT32 formatted microSDHC card handy, and I tried to flash the kernel through that... but CMW doesn't give the option of flashing through an external_sdcard.
Please help me in installing CM10 again, I sincerely hope I hadn't bricked my phone.
I have had problems with that tar file. Use the root66 tar once it's its flashed to the phone it probably will not boot past the 4glte logo. Hold volume up home and power and choose factory reset. You will have to install a recovery again use ez recovery and I am not sure if it locks your bootloader again just download the unlock app from market.
USE THIS METHOD I'M TELLING YOU IT WILL HAVE YOU UP IN NO TIME JUST REINSTALL CM10

root66 is a stock image that's already rooted. I just tried looking for a link to it, but couldn't find it.

Look in the device manager on your computer. Do you see a orange triangle with exclamation mark on it. If so disable and then reenable device. Odin should now see it. You are in Odin mode though correct you sound kinda newb no offense volume down home and power press volume up to accept.

John, I may be a noob, but you are awesome! So using your instructions I reached the verizon boot animation ... but like you said, the phone won't go past it, and it didn't. I did the factory reset through the stock android recovery and it still gets stuck at the logo.
What is your advice?

If you can get to the boot screen, your phone is not hard bricked, the kernel is wrong so it doesn't know how to load the correct blocks/mmc. Just grab the stock kernel floating around, or the complete stock rooted md5 or tar and flash via odin.
I could be wrong but I'm 99 percent sure when you formatted system you deleted your current ROM meaning your phone has no system to boot into. I have done this before. All you have to do is boot straight into CWM and flash a backup or any ROM you have Downloaded. You aren't bricked.

So I have a Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 that is more or less bricked. It won't allow me to boot in to the recovery in order to reset it. I've tried using Odin v3.07 to load Clockworkmod and the Stock rom that I found here...

I've tried the Vol - and power buttons and all I get is a black screen. Vol + and the power button get me the ODIN Mode. This was so easy to do on my GP5.0 but it at least had a working bootloader this thing is completely uncooperative. Please help.

Have you tried unzipping the stock ROM, then flashing the md5 through Odin? The md5 needs to be placed in the PDA, make sure repartition IS NOT checked.

So I would try and find the stock ROM from Samsung. The one in development, though it IS stock, isn't what you want to get it back up and running, you want the official Stock from Sammie. I would unbrick that sucker first, then go back and root, flash custom recovery, then ROM.

Is there a way to create a Boot SD Card and force the device to boot into a Recovery mode? CWM perhaps?
Hi,
I own a Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 gt-S6500D and I decided to install CyanogenMod 11 on it.
As I'm NOT a pro at these things, I did my research on Google on how to flash CM 11 but I seemed to stumble on the very first step.
Most tutorials recommended ClockworkMod so I flashed it on my device using Odin 3.07.
After flashing cwm-6.0.3.3-b2-jena.tar (I had to delete the .md5 extension), I couldn't go into recovery mode anymore to update to cwm 6.0.4.7.
When I press the volume up + down + home + power buttons I get the Samsung logo on the screen with that yellow triangle and it just stays like that.
My phone is not rooted and I'm looking for a solution to this problem that doesn't involve rooting my phone, as I find this risky.
What can I do now?

the md5 is to match if the file is corrupted. Your file WAS corrupted as it seems. Normally Odin will block the installation due to the MD5 hash check. But you removed the matchsum (md5) so you were able to flash it anyway. Thats real bad so far. Other possibility is that you flashed the file to a wrong partition.
Without getting into "DOWNLOAD" mode (Vol down + home + Power) Once you see the yellow triangle press "Vol up" to enter DOWNLOAD mode. Try to remove and reinsert battery before you try.
Okay, thanks for the explanation... I know I did a bad thing So what exactly do you suggest me doing now?

Latest TWRP --> http://goo.im/devs/thewhisp/jena-recovery//twrp-build-3-06052013.tar.md5 --> flash it via odin as AP/PDA
Be sure to have automatic restart checked in odin
Once you have twrp working you can flash latest CWM 6.0.4.7. Flash the zip via twrp pls. Its not flashable via odin.
My phone is just impossible! It refuses to go into recovery mode. I flashed twrp like you mentioned. Still no luck!

Hi All,
I have a GT P3110 that was rooted. I tried to install a custom ROM, but I didn't succeed, because since first reboot it arrives till "Updating Android", optimize all the apps, and straight after "opening applications" it reboots - as in the title - in infinite loop.
I can access download mode, and I tried very various solutions (all through Odin, in different versions), but none of firmwares i tried unlocks the situation, neither does any flashed recovery open. Just the download mode (that still let me hope for a solution).
I read a lot of threads about, but nowhere I found a solution; I tried even to Erase All Nand, but it failed.
I really dunno what else could I do, has anyone solved a similar problem, or has an idea of how could I unlock the situation??
SOLVED: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p3110
But it currently boots and fails after optimizing still?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk
thanks for quick reply!
More detailed what i see is
- "Galaxy Tab 7 2.0"
- blinking "Samsung"
- "Updating Android OS": inside of this, it first optimize all the apps ("optimizing app 1,2,3,...."); when it finished, says "Opening applications", and just restarts from blinking "Samsung".
OK. So it IS booting the os.
And you can't get into recovery?
You mentioned that you tried Odin, did you make sure to use the latest correct pit file when flashing?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk
again thanks!
No I cannot access recovery in any way, I tried kinda all combination of buttons, but can only get into Download mode.
But.......actually I'm not using any PIT file! Hope THAT is the problem!
So maybe now i should try to flash again stock firmware, with correct pit file, selecting in odin only f.reset time and auto-reebot (also repartition? and/or nand erase all?) ?
about PIT, can it be http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552155 ?

Yes, use the 311x file in the last post.
Go to the thread where you got recovery and be sure to use 311x or 3110 flashable recoveries.
Follow all instructions to a t. Do not select anything you are not specifically told to select
Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk
tried to flash recovery with PIT realized only after that repartition was selected, but nothing changed.
tried to flash firmware with PIT, unselected repartition, and i supposed i bricked it. Still, on charge shows the battery, but no other response. damn.
[EDIT] The tablet is still alive, I found on another section that letting it charge and pressing volume button, can make it wake up and..."yes"! We are back at soft brick as before...same exact situation!
Well. At least its not bricked. Lol
If you repartition without the pit it could turn the whole thing into a single partition. The pit is a partition information table, it tells the tablet what partitions go where.
There must be a way to force recovery on, maybe through adb but I'm not sure.
If Odin is failing try updating the drivers and if you haven't, try a more recent Odin meant for the tab. Other than that I'm out of ideas. You might be able to boot recovery by holding volume up and power while plugging in. Once the Samsung logo flashes up unplug while continuing to hold volume up
Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk
well actually odin isn't failing, because everything that was needed to be flashed, it was...
odin i am using in the last version
I also do not have any clue for this...
the only hint i have, is that maybe i should flash both recovery and firmware with PIT, and leaving on both the re-partition....
...even if the hard brick perspective scares me...
And cannot find anyone that had my same problem on the internet!!!!
If you have any other suggestion/ideas feel free to share...meanwhile thanks!
But if Odin worked right it would be flashing recovery without issue.
Maybe try booting as far as it will boot, plug into PC, open a command prompt and type

Man, sorry tool so long for someone to respond to ya....... Ok
So you got root, so that part is outta the way.
Now, you wanna make sure your booking into DL mode correctly. Do not use the power menu to do that. For the best result when using Odin, you want to Power Down the device completely, the Gold Volume Down + Home Button + Then Power. On the DL mode instruction screen tap Volume Up to boot into DL mode.
Now plug your phone into your PC, then open Odin. I use 3.07.
Now choose the file, let it load, then start. When flashing a recovery, stock rom, ect..... Just let your phone boot up
So that your already rooted, you should be using Philz recovery rich NE5, just cause twrp isn't working properly with restoring a Backup.
So....if you haven't gotten it by now, this should fix you up just fine.

Use latest, also check md5.
Then download the ROM, and check the md5.
Copy the rom to internal sd and check md5 again, you can use ES File Explorer for that.
Shutdown the phone. Now volume up + home + power.
Once in recovery, nandroid. Then wipe system and do a factory reset. You must be good to go.

Follow the instructions from this post. Since you are soft bricked at the moment, you'll need to start at step 4. If you have an extSD in your phone, you might want to pull it until after you're up and running because the "Android" folder from Kitkat needs to be deleted and rebuilt for Lollipop.
That's what I tryed first but it didn't work,

Are you using the wrong terminology? You have to use Odin and a PC to install the .tar. Also, the first boot into Lollipop can take about 20 minutes. You have to be patient. I see you posting in different threads and you seem to be digging deeper into a hole.
Are you using Odin and starting by downloading (to PC) the file in step #4? Then follow the remaining steps "exactly". Re-read those instructions and if you not already downloaded the needed files, do that first.

Try this: Do a battery pull, then put the phone in Download mode, hook up to PC and then open Odin and then Odin custom recovery, either twrp or Philz. Uncheck auto reboot in odin and once it passes, pull the battery, unplug and boot into recovery. Also, you might update Odin, there's a link to Odin 3.10.0 in my post. Let's see if we can get that far and go from there.

Which recovery tar did you Odin? You pulled the battery after Odin said PASS, then unplugged the phone, put battery back in and immediately tried to get into recovery? If so, I'm stumped.

Yes I tryed
kt_twrp_recovery_boa6_firmware.tar
and
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-klte
and
philz_touch_6.57.8-klte
NOTHING!
when ever i try and boot the rom the phone vibrates 2 times and resets.
when ever i try to boot to recovery
i get
recovery booting....
recovery is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit : recovery
then phone reboots.
then it trys to boot the rom.
and vibrates 2 times and resets.
Im not new to using odin or flashing roms or recoverys i sort of know what im doing. not to sound cocky.

I saw your post count, I knew you knew what you're doing, just wanted to double check everything. Sorry, I'm out of ideas. I did ask @tdunham to take a look at this thread, if he has some other ideas, but he's offline right now. Hopefully he'll check in later.
What about flashing back to an older version of android? Full tar flash.

Like ne5, and nothing else, just see if you can get stock to boot, no messing around trying to flash recovery.
This is RWillco12's NE5 stock.. Have the phone in download mode and run the .exe
Thanks TD.

I tryied ni3 already
but as far as i know you cant downgrade the bootloader.
if i could flash just the bootloader for ota6 maybe that would help.
i will try downloading ne5 now but my last rom was running a nkd modem.
im going to try and flash G900P_NKD_FullRestore.tar in odin if that dont work ill try ne5
and will report back shortly.
well nkd full restore boots up to
unknowen error!
wait..
done!
udc start.
power reset or
unknown
upload mode.
this is the way i got it back from retech after they replaced my bezel and digitlizer and screen
i never had an issue with anything software wize before that.
Have you tried flashing the phone without any sim cards inserted including the sprint card? You are flashing from a powered off state right? You know it wont work unless phone is powered off before going into download mode.
As a last resort attached is the pit file for the 16gb G900P. Unzip and put it into the pit section of odin and flash the stock firmware again. It will repartition the entire phone when it flashes the stock image.
