You also need to flash the pit file. If you follow the instructions in this thread, it will tell you exactly what to do. You don't use Odin to install CWM, btw.

Phidelt82 is correct.
Start with that thread. That will get you back to stock.
Then this thread. How to Mod My MEZ. That will get you started from Stock to get Rooted and install CWM and then its your choice of ROM and Theme if you choose.
please please please.. read. read and read everything twice. go slow and have patience.
And ask questions. I do not get a chance to post so much at the moment but always willing to help where I can if I can.

now my phone can not to work。I press step by step, and now my phone finish except call 911, any other phone cannot dial, what reason be?

Need to activate？How should do?

Just cool down. Your phone is booting. It works. I don't work for USCC so I'm not exactly sure how it works but I don't know if you would have to activate it again. I suggest you take the phone to the store and tell them it stopped working. They will probably get it all fixed up for you there. Since it's stock right now you shouldn't have any problems (=
PS: In the future, don't dial 911 to 'test' whether you phone works or not.. 0_o

Woah, what do you mean you don't use Odin to install CWM? The newb guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931169
says "
1.Shut phone off, pull battery out and leave it out.
2.Run odin (assuming you have it installed)
3.Load the cwm-recovery-all.tar file into the PDA spot"
And i've read like 15 other how tos that all say the same thing. That sounds like you install CWM with odin.

[Q] How to rom dump full stock att sgh-i497

i have a new att sgh-i497. I want to make the stock tar.md5 so if I make a mistake i can use odin to restore it. How does a noob do this?
I have no custom recovery. its a total stock device. I am also trying to host it for all the members who have a soft bricked att sgh-i497.
also do i need to factory reset it first?

you're right, i've (tried) to help people with your tab I497's and can't find the original firmware anywhere. a few people state that the Jamaica firmware works (though i know that's not what you're after) i'm just googling ways to make backups from CWM backups.

Well i wish i could just use odin to dump the tab to the tar.md5

I have STOCK firmware in case anyone needs it. I took it from KIES during a "recovery" on my SGH-I497. Full factory stock ATT. Untouched.

probably dead/defective GPU.. can't think anything else that could cause this..

Just try to re-flash it with either a custom ROM, or use the Odin stock images. Odin would be better because it will flash everything back to the way you had it when you bought it, etc. If you need the link for the Odin images, let me know.

Flash another kernel that doesn't oc the gpu... this happened to me using vta's kernel
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

I hope this will work, im moving to Development section and pickup a stable Rom and flash it thro Odin, and i will let you guys know.
thanks alot.

Can i flash a regular custom using Odin?
i think it has some specific file type..pda..pdf something?

can anyone give me the link of any rom i can flash throu odin?

[Q] Samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 stuck in BOOT LOOP!!!!!

ok i have had my samsung galaxy tab 2 7" for about a couple months now and i have a bit of a problem. I have been hearing about everyone trying rooting their devices and how cool it is because of all the customization that you can do wit it. So i decided to give it a shot and it worked out ok. I have had a rooted device for about a couple of days and everything was fine and then i forgot to charge my tablet one night and it died. So i went to go back and charge it and to my suprise nothing was happening. It got as far as the charging animation for like 1 sec and then it shuts off and does it all over again. It is making me so mad because i cant do anything. I cant reboot it or anything like that. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!

Nothing to panic. Download the stock firmware and flash it via odin.
It would gt normal.

I bricked my S7... can it be fixed?

So I modded the hell out of my stock rom and eventually broke it. After failing to flash the stock firmware about 50 times I gave up and put Lineage OS on my phone. Eventually I decided I wanted to try putting the stock back on and somehow screwed up my IMEI crap and don't have a backup. Basically all my phone can do is run stock rom but without any mobile network support or the same thing with Lineage OS. I've spent hours trying to fix it but nothing's worked. I checked just about every guide I've been able to find and none of them work. the issue is either not fixed or there's some kind of an error/change during the process that makes it so I can't continue. I downloaded some combination file that is supposed to help fix the issue but it won't flash via ODIN like the guide says so i can't do that.
I really need this phone up and working again. Anyone got any ideas? As of right now I have a paper weight that I can browse the internet on.
Update: I fixed it by flashing Android 8.0.0 firmware onto my phone instead of 7.0.0. I'm not sure why that fixed it because even lineage OS couldn't get my IMEI number but it's working now.

Quickest way to solve the issue as you've found out is to flash latest stock for device. Bootloader was the source of your problems, once upgraded it cannot be downgraded no matter what. All these bull sh1t guides saying you can just end up with a bricked phone.
Now BACK UP your EFS partition so this doesn't happen again.

I am planning on install a One UI Based rom on my S7, my phone is running stock without any rood or something like this.
How to flash the Rom without making a stupid thing that will brick my phone? i mean how to start all the process from zero?
And another thing i wonder about, what is the IMEI thing that you guys talked about?

1. Go here to download TWRP an install it via ODIN,
https://twrp.me/Devices/Samsung/
2. In TWRP select backup and choose only EFS and back it up to your external card (preferably also to your PC)
that will backup your IMEI etc
