Do all the steps you did before to root your galaxy s3, but this time without the battery. This happened because the update T-Mobile sent to their customers, made the stock flash recovery override any image flash via Odin if the battery was present. Do that and It will work.

Rooted now wont boot ! Help please

Recently rooted my Tmobile Tab 2 with no issues that I could see, got my superuser going and verified the root with Root Checker all was good. Then went to boot into recovery and saw that I had not TWRP so I grabbed a recovery installed via Odin and then restarted tablet and when it did I had it boot into recovery gave me the message "recovery booting" then would just turn off anytime I would try the Download mode or Booting it would just flash the recovery booting, what can I do to fix this an start from scratch. ADB ? if so does anyone have some resources to link me to try

Yeah there is a bit of a trick to get recovery going the first time, and it's not mentioned much. After you flash the recovery if your tab starts to reboot it will rewrite the original recovery. You have to catch it and do the power + volume down to get it to go straight to recovery. It's all about the timing. It took me flashing it about five times before I caught it just right. Just keep flashing it in Odin until you get it, you're doing it right your tab is just fighting it. After you get it the first time you'll have no more issues.
or uncheck "Auto-Reboot" inside Odin and use the Button-Combi to boot directly from Download-Mode into recovery after flashing
First time my Counter = 5 until i got it work

I was able to finally get it into download mode and flashed a new recovery and that fixed the error , I am now unable to load a rom onto my tablet keep getting the Status 7 error , maybe im just not understanding what the instructions mean from the sticky I saw about it, but anyway anyone can elaborate on it.
wich recovery installed? (please post name & versionnumber)

What's your model number to your Tab? A ROM is specific to that model number...

There is no new Rom out for your ATT / TMOBILE Galaxy Tab 2 10.1
Don't use Roms from P5100, P5110 or P5113 - this meight brick your Dervice!
SGH-T779 Model #
So with my type of tablet I can only use roms that are for the SGH-T779 or just go back to a stock rom?

Yes, that's right! Or do you like to have a bricked device?
Never flash things from a different device to yours!
If you have a SGH-T779 - only use SGH-T779 -Files (e.g. Roms, Recoverys)
There's some development on CM for your device only, but no Rom released: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364028

So with the link you provided would I need to do the status 7 fix which is deleting the asserts line or is that necessary with this CM 10.1
don't remove assert lines - this will keep your device alive! there is no Custom rom out for your device! only a stockbased one.

Help!!! Soft bricked S3!

Hello...
Stock Verizon S3 rooted with towel root...no problem.
Tried to install twrp via the twrp manager app and it said it was successful.
When I try to boot system or recovery I get:
"secure fail: kernel" in the top left corner in red
and
yellow triangle with "!" and "system software not authorized by verizon wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest verizon wireless store for help"
Ran fine with root for a couple weeks, this just started after trying to install twrp.
I CAN boot into download mode.
How can I recover the phone?
TIA

You have to use Odin to recover the phone back to stock. Please please please read before you attempt to install anything. You cannot install any custom recovery other than safestrap on a locked bootloader

Thank you...my mistake completely. I have odin, where can I find latest files to go back to stock?
Phone was rooted and on 4.4.2

Newest bootloader & modem

I want to flash the latest bootloader and modem to my G920F. But the problem is, that I have no idea for what is this etc. Could someone explain, could I install the bootloader and a modem with a different designation than my rom? For example, I have now COI9, can i flash another modem than with the designation COI9? I someone could, please link to the latest version, thank you!
You dont need to do it... Always stick with the modem and bootloader same as the system... Mixmatching those files can couse battery drain ( radio interference , deep sleep problems ) ... For the time ive used the s6 COI9 was the best modem i ever tested.. So stay with OI9

Hi,
I have this galaxy s6 that only boots in download mode.. I literally flashed every stockrom and recovery etc. Have you got any other solution I could try? I tried pit file but it gives me an error... maybe it's not the right pit file. PLS ow pretty PLS, give me a link to a good debloated odin flashable stock rom and a good pit file. I'm pretty desperate about this phone. it does boot in download so I guess this phone is still fixable. I also tried Nand Erase All option, it passes but still no normal boot nor recovery. so can you tell me where to find a good rom and pit file?
Thanks in advance

I've been there with my S6 Edge...only a week ago while I was installing LineageOS. I was feeling pretty hopeless for awhile but installing a custom ROM got my phone to the point where it was usable again. I'm still burning through firmware variations from sammobile in search of a better modem but at least I got it working again. Odin is your friend.

Why can't you get into recovery? If you can get your phone into download mode, then you can use Odin to install TWRP which will give you access to recovery. You said you had the S6 right, not Edge? You can get TWRP for that version here https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys6.html and then install it with Odin. After that, boot into recovery, and then plug your phone into a computer and transfer your ROM onto the phone and install it. If you aren't able to get that part of it done, then the stock firmware for your S6 may be available for download from https://www.sammobile.com/ and those can be flashed using Odin. If one of those doesn't work, try a different one until you find one that works. Good luck; don't lose hope. I have found my S6 Edge resilient and hard to permanently brick.

I thought I was done for last week when I flashed a package from Sammobile that my phone didn't like and it resulted in Error message from Odin. After that, download mode showed up as wrecked and said to use Smartswitch to enter emergency recovery mode. I tried a few versions of Smartswitch but they all kept saying my device was unsupported. I went to sleep feeling pretty lousy.
The next day I started fresh and had a few more packages from Sammobile to try. Even with the message about "emergency recovery mode", I was able to install a new Sammobile package using Odin. That replaced modem, system, bootloader, everything the phone needed. Except the phone was stuck in a bootloop and kept restarting every time it go to the "installing android" part of the boot process. At that point I shut the phone down and installed the latest TWRP recovery, booted into recovery, and transferred my ROMs + GApps onto it and then installed them following the ROM's installation instructions. It was pretty hairy for awhile but my persistence paid off and now it works again. Hopefully you get yours working.
What do you mean "nothing wakes up this phone" does it hang at a particular part?

I don't think you can. You need to install TWRP recovery in download mode before you can flash ROMs. Is that what you're having problems with?

Thanks for sticking up with me. We'll, the phone only boots in download mode. I flashed literally everything... From custom recoveries to stock roms, also had the smarts witch notification but smarts switch nor Kies doesn't fix the problem. I tried flashing recoveries, different versions, nothing. What I mean with waking up the phone... Well even after a successful Odin stock firmware flash, the phone doesn't boot by itself. Tried with the auto reboot ticked off but... Yeah... The phone only boots in download mode. But in download mode I see that it says CUSTOM BINARY,.... so... It flashes but... It's not booting. Not even getting a starting up screen that freezes... Nothing...all black... Only download mode. I just now tried converting a custom Rom zip to a tar file... Flashed it... Failed... Blablabla... This s6 is giving me a hard time! now, it' s a phone from a college that actually threw the phone in the garbage... But I retrieved it and I wanted to fix this s6. It's a good phone... It goes in download mode so.... That thought keeps me hopeful!
Again thanks for the support...

okay so, tried a couple more firmwares...they all pass in odin but not booting my phone. also not in recovery. tried flashing twrp and stuff but can't get it to boot! It doesn't hang on a screen. it just doesn't boot. only on download mode I get it to boot. Could this be a hardware problem?? I think not because it boots in download mode. Maybe try to flash bootloaders? Are there other recoveries? CWM, Philz touch?

I was originally on the sickmade rom and wanted to upgrade. Seems like the Bootloader and Modem flashed right because my phone started up fine. But after flashing TWRP i got stuck at Samsung note 5 screen. Do i need to flash a rom through Odin to get my phone working again?

Yes, I'm using it right now. I just flashed the latest fw wiyh odin and all is good...but I want to install twrp so I can try out a few ROMS. After flashing the fw you should be good. ?
I found this: https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote5.html
"This device uses dm-verity!
This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab."

Wow simple research goes a long way. Found a lot of people going through the same problem. Im currently extracting the stock firmware for 3dpg1 as thats what i was on before i got stuck at boot screen. Im going to try to flash to Nougat once i get my system back up. Im going to have to do some reading up on this topic. Lots of these guides dont mention the boot prevention.

thank you a lot but i have another question after i ran a boot.tar from firmware.obi my phone is stuck on the boot logo what can i do to move on and is it safe if i boot the files u sent me with the current state of my phone? also the download will be ages since the speed for non premium is 15kb/sec
To return the phone to a stock condition, you flash the ROM using Odin which will overwrite everything with the possible exception of the data partition.
If the phone is stuck at the boot logo, have you tried a factory reset from stock recovery?
You can try this link: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G930W8 or https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?exact=1&q=SM-G930W8
I don't know about download speeds for the above-two links as I have never used them before but other XDA members have.

You can try this link: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G930W8 or https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?exact=1&q=SM-G930W8
I don't know about download speeds for the above-two links as I have never used them before but other XDA members have.

i have tried going into the boot menu for factory reset but no luck the phone just resets,im starting the odin method right now with the thing you provided, also do i fill all the blanks (like the csc,ap and cp?) in odin?
After downloading the file from sammobile.com, unzip the file once (I use 7zip) to yield the necessary files. Each file will be preceded by the blank or slot location.

so i managed to get this phone back to its original state when it was frp locked by downloading software from sammobile but it still remembers the google account... i will try to download a older version of android and run that to hopefully get the phone to 6.0.1 or whatever the original version was and try some older ways to frp unlock my phone because the older version will have less security patches. hopefully this works! thanks for the help so far .:good:
I'm not sure that you can downgrade once the phone has been updated.
Good luck.
same here, stuck without solutions. tried pretty much everything found on the internet carefully and taking the time to do it.. but still...
i still need help can someone find a way to unlock my phone?
One way to remove frp lock is to flash a custom recovery (like TWRP) for your phone and then use the wipe -> format data (and type 'yes' when asked, without the quotes). Restart the phone and let the system boot. After it boots you can procede to flash the stock rom
* P.S. 1: flashing a custom recovery will trigger KNOX so say bye bye to S Health if you are not planning to root the phone (so as to be able to edit the build prop and enable SHealth again) after flashing the stock rom again. Do not attemp to flash the stock recovery image on its own or your phone will be soft bricked and the dm-verity error will give you nightmares (happened twice to me, took me 6 hours to recover my phone). To get back the stock recovery you need to flash the stock rom again.
* P.S. 2: If your phone has the bootloader locked you will not be able to flash a custom recovery. In that case you can try to downgrade to 6.0 but there are not guarantees that it will work ok.
