I have had no luck searching for the stock firmware of the SCH i705 model and cannot get it to boot.
After following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885558 Root tutorial, i got to step 2, and after doing the bootloader part, my tab froze at the Odin screen..
tried to reboot into recovery mode, got it for a few tries, and it gave me errors like
"E: could not find.. . ... .system
E: failed to mount,,,.,..,cache/blah"
then the device went into a boot loop and now I powered it off.
EDIT: now when I try booting into recovery, it shows the blue loading text, then goes into odin mode with the message
"Could not do normal boot.
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I705
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

Can I get a link for some firmware or something? I need to get this back to normal >_<

At what state was your tab when you tried flashing aboot? This is supposed to be flashed when you have booted into android normally. Unfotunately, Verizon has not released stock firmware so this is all we have. You wouldn't even be able to flash a stock recovery or boot image that I've dumped because it's not signed by VZW.
Try going through Step 1b in the root thread again and flash the stock rooted ODIN system image.
Another question, when you're in ODIN mode, is the screen in portrait or landscape mode? Portrait = stock, locked bootloader; landscape = unlocked bootloader.
The thing you don't seem to understand is : you HAVE to reflash your tablet using ODIN. It's not that hard. Just follow the second method here (you don't need to download android SDK)
copy this in your navigator bar : rootzwiki . com/topic/37272-verizonsch-i705-root-for-all-current-firmware/ ( delete space around the dot)
Or here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885558
Plus, your tab will be rooted.
You're welcome.
P.S : This limitation of URL is annoying as hell.
P.S 2: Oh I see my friend up here has posted the same tutorial. Don't know which one is first. Will link to his thread.

The tutorial on rootzwiki is mine I never go over there so revosfts posted it there.
Gg. My tablet stopped powering on. Doesn't respond at all now.
Nice..
Chances are your battery is dead. Plug it into the wall for a few hours.
First off, i appreciate your help, but I am pretty sure my device is done-zo. lol
Its been plugged for at least 5 hours, still unresponsive.
Do you think I have a chance bringing in an absolutely dead (brand new) tablet to the Verizon store?
It was purchased last month so it is probably covered under warranty.. If not there is always the mfc. warranty
If it doesn't respond at all then I'd say it's safe to take it in.

Verizon won't be able to do a damn thing, I had the same issue and had to ship it to Samsung, I'm still waiting for them to reflash it and see if they charge me any money, because according to them it might be out of warranty
(obviously I didn't tell them that I was rooting and flashing a new rom)

Yeah i had tried that last night and just saw a bunch of folders and files... none that matched the mp5 . Am i doing something wrong? It doesn't seem like the same process i had to do before.
So the original post says to copy Patch to device then flash it from recovery. Do i save the whole folder to the sdcard or just the patch file or what. Im still unsure this is the correct download. Has anyone confirmed it? Thanks
Sent from my SCH-i705 using xda app-developers app
You download the 'J1 OTA Update - Pre-Rooted.zip' to your SD Card and flash it in CWM... You don't do anything to any folder or file. Don't open the 'J1 OTA Update - Pre-Rooted.zip'. Just download it to your SD card and flash it.
Gotcha, thanks for the help. You guys are great. Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas!

Hi All,
Iv had a disaster with me 3 month old Galaxy Mini, I got the latest Android magazine which talked about installing custom ROM's so I downloaded ROM Manager which the recommended, and tried to perform a ROM Backup firstly it asked for my phone model which it didn't say anything about, anyway I accidently hit the wrong phone model, it then asked for a backup name which, I OK'd it, the phone should reboot into recovery mode and perform the backup, mine shutdown and now I cant turn it on. It was plugged in when I did all this, and I left it plugged in when it shutdown. I dont even get the charging icon when its off.
have I bricked my phone?
PLEASE HELP?
Oh boy, looks like you got a problem...
You'll get more help here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1311
In all probability, you will have to go to samsung service centre, and they will replace the processor...

A lot of reading is neede when trying to flash custom roms on any phone.
I think you better had done everything by yourself in recovery (step by step), so no mistake can be made that way.
Maybe you can get some help in Galaxy Mini section.
I guess you cant even power it in download mode?

I honestly don't think he was rooted, or had a custom recovery.
You must flash the tass.ops file via odin ( computer program ) and then download and install ( again via odin ) the stock or a custom rom.
WARNING: To successfully unbrick your galaxy mini, you must have the odin for samsung galaxy mini GT-S5570. Odin for other devices will probably destroy your device at all.
If you want links and more instructions, you can sent me a pm.

You need to flash a stock rom using ODIN, no need to take it to any service if it boots into download mode.

I don't know how is he going to flash tass.ops with odin, and then separately flash a stock rom...
Last I checked, you couldn't flash an odin partition script by itself, since that script is for odin's use on the phone and not for the phone itself...
Is it different for mini?
Typed using a small touchscreen
I think Sgmaster meant to load .ops file and then, flash the stock rom.
For SGS+ is ariesve.ops, I flashed with odin a few times...
Right this. First load the tass.ops file via odin and then flash a rom throught odin or clockworkmod recovery mode.
If I helped be sure to press THANKS button.

This is why articles shouldn't say, "IT'S SO EASY, ANYONE CAN DO IT!"
No, it's not. It's easy to f*ck up and brick your phone is what it is. Don't even bother joining XDA if you don't have the patience to read. Nowadays all we get are people who join after messing up their phones, begging us to perform some over-the-internet sorcery to fix it. We're not magicians. We're people. We don't exist to serve you.

Thats why no matter what, Im still on Stock Froyo.
I'm not saying don't root. It's not hard to root, but it is easy to brick your phone. By brick, I mean permanently. As long as you have recovery mode or download mode, you're good. But my point is read, read, read before you even download a ROM.
I did successfully root my fine no problems, and read about ROM's but, think I should have read more before attempting.
I`m guilty of getting misty eyed over the thought of something new and flashy not seen before.
I have been on here a while reading, not posting and i think i`ll check out here before attempting again.
anyway I wimped out and sent it back to Samsung to be repaired under its warranty, I know I could probably fix it with the help of you guys, but if I dont need to have the hassle.
But, if I was to recover myself I know you have said use odin I have downloaded it and had a look. Would I load the software then attempt to turn it on with the Home, down volume, and on buttons it should then boot into recovery mode. Is that correct?
Thanks All for your time
Just rooted my new SGS3 using New Root Method Released for Verizon’s Galaxy S3, No Odin Required. i did the data & kelvic wipe then install Clean Rom 5.0. All progressed without a hitch. Even backed up with CWM prior to flash.
I rebooted into the new rom and got this: System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless... rebooted several time with same result.
What can I do now? Thanks for your help.
Just a wild guess, but me thinks your bootloader is still locked! But I'm not sure that will even apply because I rooted my device before unlocking the bootloader. But I rooted my device via ODIN first.
You can try EZ-Unlock via the Market. The GUI is still very buggy and will show the status as unknown but the internal workings of the app works good.
You got nothin to loose in trying. Go back to stock and give it another whirl after you've unlocked the bootloader.
Of that fails then I would suggest using the tried and true method..ODIN.
G'luck!
yup your bootloader is still locked
check the downloads thread and use version 1.2.
That means your boatloader is locked. You now must Odin back to stock and start over. Droid style has a guide stickied in the development thread. Follow section 6 of it.
Next time use ez unlock version 1.2 to unlock you boatloader.

Hi, I have a Verizon S3 flashed to Boost Mobile. I tried to gain root by flashing a stock rooted Rom and messed up the flash. I had to take it back to be flashed again  Now I'm more cautious before hand. I should have backed it up before attempting it, I know I know lol can anyone shed some light on how to update a flashed phone as well as how to root it. I could really use the help 
Also after I messed up the boost flash I paniced and flashed a sprint kernel hoping this would fix the problem. Since then anything that I've tried to view including taking camera shots and web browsing if done in landscape mode will be upside down, any remedy for this problem? I know now... root first, flash later.

Okay - I pulled a real stupid move today and need some help.. I'm somewhat of a flashing noob.
I installed AOKP 4.2 the other day and was having issues, so I decided to try a Synergy Rom. I use Clockword Mod Recovery to do this. When going in to flash Synergy I noticed the recovery wasn't accessing the SD like it usually does. It was giving me some error code about not being able to read external SD (I dont even have one in the phone I only use internal storage). So eventually I found the synergy file on the internal storage and flashed it. So I flashed it and was having all sorts of issues like no data, FC's etc and went back into recovery to flash my backup of the AOKP 4.2 ROM.
Here's my stupid part - I was in a rush at work this morning and wiped data / cache and got side tracked. Came back and thought I had flashed the new rom and hit restart phone in the recovery. So now I have nothing installed on the phone and the only thing I can get it to do is boot into the Download screen in Odin.
If this helps, the screen in Odin says:
Odin Mode
Product Name: SCH-I535
Custom Binary Download: Yes (2 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Official
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable
I have downloaded Odin to my computer and plugged it and tried to flash this .tar file and get a new recovery this way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238 and had no luck as it errors out in Odin. When I connect the phone to Odin I get 0:[COM5] with a yellow colored background towards the top. I still tried to follow the above link's steps and it just errors out.
I'm at wits end and have no idea what to do now. If anyone has any idea, I would REALLY appreciate help. I have been searching for hours and haven't come up with anything that can really replicate my complete issue. I can chat via Gchat if thats easier or whatever, I just really need to get this fixed!
Thanks
Why are you trying to flash something intended for the international GSIII on your Verizon GSIII?
Had to state that cuz it is a terrible way to go about fixing your phone. Flash the rooted VRBKL3 tar in mrRobinson's thread in the Verizon GSIII dev section and then unlock your bootloader using EZ Unlock v1.2. If you didn't successfully flash anything for the i93000 then you should be fine in a few mins.
Edit: that thread you linked to even says what models it works for in the third line of the OP! lol

So when you say flash the file you listed above, I assume your talking about through Odin since I cannot access recovery.
And no, nothing successfully flashed from the i9300 link.

Yes sir, flash it via Odin. There are two rooted tars per image: wipe and no wipe. It's all detailed in mrRobinson's thread. You're in an easily recoverable situation. Just make sure to unlock your bootloader using EZ Unlock v1.2 and install a custom recovery if need be.

how to unroot samsung galaxay tab 2 7.0 P3113 straight up without any guessing
but guess what i am not the one to be mad at or responsible if anything happens to your device
backup your data of anything
lol had to put that
making this because i was up for like almost 3 hours trying to figure out how to get this done.
first you need 3 files
the latest Jelly Bean stock
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/188869946/30f5c4d/P3113UECLK7_P3113XACCLK7_XAC.zip.html
the odin with root
http://download.chainfire.eu/256/CF...fi-espressowifiue-gtp3113.zip?retrieve_file=1
and
Triangle Away this is where i got the app from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
i put the files in order of size so you can download the files as you go
for extra guidance watch
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzydHUG7XZE
its for s3 but the concept is the exact same
I started from a stock rooted rom i backed up thats what the Triangle Away fourm said to do
Ok while rooted go install Triangle Away once installed boot in to download mode. By turning off the device and holding (Power + Vol down button).
when in download mode press up to enter it this is so you can check your flash / binary count. Once you found out boot restart by (Power + Vol up button) when fully booted
go into Triangle Away before you click reset counter make sure its the same number you saw in the download mode once matched then click the button.
Next after the stock firmware is downloaded extract the file then go back into download mode and press Vol up button to enter it connect device to Odin dont touch or look at anything just click on the left where it says pda click on the md5 file that was extracted from download then click start. Dont touch or look at device until its done because you can possible brick it while in download mode
After flashing let it reboot then skip threw set up to see if superuser is still there. if so (like mine) install Triangle Away app again check the counter. (should be on zero) now go back to download mode and reflash the stock md5 again
and now should be fully stock with no root and no binary count. Take it back to store!! lol or just enjoy stock for new OTA.
#1 this is for the Canadian version of the tab 2. you need to state that.
#2 couldn't you have uploaded this to somewhere else other than hotfile?
First of all, thank you for posting this, wealthy23!
Second, I see fix-this! said this is Canadian version of stock ROM. Is this different from the US version? If so, what's the difference and where I can find the US stock ROM?

I am not sure what he is talking about but it worked on my tab 2 which is US version and
also hot file is used because I didn't upload it I got link from official Samsung site used it so you won't have to sign up for a Samsung account just to get the link and wanted the file to be as pure from source as possible especially when using Odin to flash

I didnt mean to be rude but the file you uploaded is for the canadian version. I double checked on google with the build number. Theres also a US version but with a slightly different extension. Im not at home or i would upload it.

I think I found a way
The thread is a month old, so please forgive the necromancy. I haven't noted it elsewhere, so I post in hopes it will help somebody else out.
I found that this works if you flashed via CF-Auto-Root-espressowifi. In triangle away, I reset the counter. Rebooted and clicked "system modified workaround". Rebooted again. Immediately checked the status and after mauling that matter over a bit, it decided "Official" and let me update. (Or, rather, told me I was up to date) Note: probably a good idea to disable the system modified workaround before upgrading. As of yet, it still says "Offical" after disabling modified workaround & reboot, but from what I've read, it will eventually change it's mind. Hence, using this, I imagine you should be able to keep root and use Triangle Away to check for updates every so often. Not stock flashing required.
If you find these instuctions helpful, pay for the App - he deserves it.
Question if I boot into clockworkmod recovery and do a factory reset, wipe cache portions, & dalvik cache then boot into download mode and flash the stock rom will I still be rooted?

Most likely you didn't change back the recovery plus root still might show up after you flash stock rom did you flash with Odin or cwm?

I have a Verizon S3 and saw a new symbol in my notification bar and stupidly clicked on it without really thinking and my phone tried to update to 4.3. Well after the update I get a screen that says I'm not using official verizon software or something like that and that I need to take my phone to a verizon store to fix it. I can get to the Odin downloading screen I just don't know how to fix it from there. Please help I really don't have the money to buy a new phone right now. Any advice would be welcome
It depends on what is happening to your phone. Is it working or not? Can you tell us what android version is loaded currently?

It starts up and after the samsung logo. I get the message System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help. At the top in red it also says secure fail: kernal. I believe I'm running Android 4.1.2 but I can't remember. If I hold down volume, home, and power I can get into the odin downloading screen but those are the only 2 screens I can access.

As long as you can get to the download screen, you can flash the official 4.3 with Odin. Dont try to go back to 4.1.2 or any custom rom as that will result in a hard brick.

Could you tell me how to go about flashing the official 4.3 rom with Odin. I haven't messed around with my phone in years.

First go into download mode and see if the boot chain flashed. If it didn't you should flash 4.1 not 4.3.
Once you're in download mode, post all the information it says in the top left corner.

After this, I'd unlock the bootloader with ez-unlock version 1.2 to make sure it's unlocked.
When you reboot, find sdm1.0.apk and fwupdater.apk and rename them to sdm1.0.apk.bak and fwupdater.apk.bak. Or use titanium backup and freeze both of them. Then you don't have to worry about an update being pushed to your phone.

Ez-unlock will brick your phone if you're on the 4.3 base. In this case it will work just fine, he's on the 4.1.2 base.

locked bootloader on rooted verizon galaxy s3
my phone was rooted and i mistakenly upgraded to 4.3.
i didn't have any problems rerooting my phone.
however though the phone is rooted, from what i've read i'm going to assume my bootloader is locked.
so i've decided to seek answers from the professionals.
i have root checker, rom manager, goomanager, titanium back up, root broswer, rom installer, root explorer, android root tool,superuser, super su, quickboot, terminal emulator and the hackers keyboard.
all to no avail...everytime i try to install a custom rom a message pops up on the screen saying i have unauthorized software on my phone and that i need to take it to verizon. yes from recovery mode...as a matter of fact the recovery mode won't load it just takes me to the " take my phone to verizon screen "...
just to be clear i have a galaxy s3 on verizon running 4.3
phone is rooted and super su, or superuser has been granted to the necessary apps,
still everything i've tried hasn't worked.
sorry for the length but i was attempting to provide as much info as possible...
any and all help regarding this matter will be greatly appreciated...

Sounds like you're on 4.3, if that's the case then you can't install any custom roms without a special recovery.
Just to be sure, boot into download mode and type out what the text says in the top left corner. Your symptoms sound like it could be either, the install of will usually fail if you're rooted, unless everything you had was completely stock.

You're on 4.3 with a locked bootloader, meaning you can't install custom recovery, rom, kernel. The only thing available for 4.3 is root. Don't try to install custom recovery or you will brick your phone. At this time you may have a soft brick, go here to fix it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586319

Physically type down in a reply to @BadUsername, exactly what is written when you are fully booted into download mode. Everything in the upper left of the screen where it starts with "Odin Mode" in red all caps. Someone is helping you and they can't continue to help you, unless you help them first with that info.

Would those be appropriate to block if on rooted 4.1 currently and wanting to block the 4.3 update? Anything else to block/freeze?

Here is my list:
If the OTA already downloaded, delete it here /cache/fota
To disable the OTA:
Rename or freeze the apps with Titanium backup:
otacerts.zip located in /etc/security - rename to otacerts.zip.bak
Rename fwupdate.odex, fwupdate.apk located in /system/app
and freeze SDM1.0 located in /system/app
Awesome thank you. And without TiBu? My wife uses the GS3, and I don't think she has a license for TiBu.
I guess just rename the first two with a file manager, delete the update and disable sdm1 in the app settings?
