did you clear the caches and format factory restore, then flash? are you able to get into recovery again? Not sure if that would be the correct way or not, but just wondering what steps you did.

hi thanks for reply i can only able to go to download mode i can not format the phone i can not able to go to format option when i press volume down camera button it show format mode for 1 second then goes of then come up samsung logo,i can go to download mode is there any other file i can try ?

ok, so did you use the Windows Phone 7 usb image downloader? Also the thing you are trying to flash, what all files did you choose or was it just one file. Im just trying to better understand. I think since you can get into download mode that you are still ok. Also it sounds like you are trying to flash back to stock att?
Also there should be 4 files that you are flashing with the program from my understanding. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642126
At that link i posted at the very bottom has a poster by the name of hackarchive and he has a link to his skydrive account that has a video tutorial. you have to left click on the video to get it to download. I hope this helps and keep us updated

Hi i flash with 4 file what video show i download from the link who made this video it can flash fine but just stuck on Samsung logo

I may just be talking crazy, but i think i read or seen in the video where it says that you do it 2 times. back to back. Like after you flash it, then go and select the exact same files again. kinda like in the video. Dont close the program just yet after flashing, go through each of those 4 and select the same files again and flash. not sure if you disconnect the phone tho, i would try it both ways. I think thats why that video was made to show that you reselet the SAME files again, instead of hitting flash 2 times without selecting. sorry it took me a while to respond back

Hey pls help, i have the same issues, followed the forum, the post and the guide but still i couldn't get the phone to boot... pls help me... any news ideas... Thanks...

What gapps did you use? Sounds like a compatibility issue. Use the one from the Blaze Bible. After you flash the zip, factory reset. That should solve your problem. Still stuck? Boot cwm fix permissions, reboot. Last resort, start over from scratch and read very carefully each step....
If it helped hit thx

Same thing
I am having the same issue. It was after I installed cwm. the next step was to reboot into recovery mode, but I can't find anywhere that tells me to do it manually. I have also tried via ADB w/o success. I have tried various USB drivers in download mode and regular mode.
Any idea how to get into cwm and push .zips via USB from this state? Or, if I could install gapps from Odin, but I can't find a .tar for gapps.

Must be rooted for this method.
Download terminal emulator from play store. Open and type su press enter. Then type reboot recovery and press enter.

Off topic.. I remember when I was all noobish hahaha. This post makes me looks stupid lol..

Wipe data/factory reset. from the stock recovery only works if you're on ics.

have you tried installing/ reinstalling the right gaaps?
Just clear cache and Dalvik.

Worst Case Scenario!
Hm, if none of the above comments help you try this:
Flash back to Official Stock GB using this thread.
(I know this thread has NOTHING to do with your problem, but it has a link to Stock GB AND a guide on how to flash it.)
After you flashed that, root your phone using this thread
Be careful and READ EVERYTHING before following either of those two threads, you could potentially end up destroying your device, if you do you'll have no one to yell at but yourself!

same problem here. haven't successfully fixed my friend's device. HELP!!

is this suppose to happen?
HELP!
I am having the same problem here. I was trying to root my friend's phone using the link with the odin and then install the newest CM (which btw is JUST AWESOME). On download mode, I'm seeing like 10 counts and custom binary. I also tried odin with this T769UVLB7_T769TMBLB7_TMB that I found in another post.
I erased everything in the 1.4 gb rom, I've tried it all for hours. I saw this post and somebody else with the same problem but it looks like they couldn't solve it. I don't think it's a driver issue because the roms get flashed but the problems occur on the welcome start page. Then all the processes and services start stopping unexpectedly and I can't go any further. please somebody help!!!
Also installed Samsung Kies to see if it could change the firmware or fix it or anything. That's what I used to erase everything on the ROM (because I thought that could be the issue). But no, kies says my firmware can't be recognized or sth like that.
I have flashed on my own blaze thousands of ROMS form xda, but this is the first time I see something like this.

Odin was download # 2. That is what you will use to flash the phone. The md5 file is the stock jellybean image. The phone will have to be in Odin mode and then attached to the pc via USB cable for it to work

i believe i can root it. i just about did it but i want jelly bean first before i root it ... isnt that the correct way of doing it or does it not matter

congrats on getting jellybean installed via odin. turns out it wasnt your fault, it was due to a crappy internet connection that caused several bad downloads in a row.
were u able to get it rooted?

[Q] AT&T S5 (G900A) Soft-Bricked / Freezes on Boot Logo using any ROM

I'd appreciate any help to get my phone working again. I've only had it for a couple of weeks and I'm hoping I haven't completely ruined it...
I'll try to recall the exact steps I took to get to this point:
First, towelroot wouldn't work to get root due to me accepting the OTA update to 4.4.4 android. So I found on a forum post that you can use Odin to flash the stock kernel and then towelroot will work. So I downloaded the stock kernel and flashed it successfully using Odin. Towelroot was then able to work with success. After that I installed SuperSU and busybox. Then I was using this guide (URL omitted due to forum rules) to install SafeStrap recovery as I'd read CWM recovery didn't work for the G900A model (AT&T). Safestrap seemed to install OK and when I rebooted I was able to get into the SafeStrap software interface. From there, I attempted to flash the CM12 nightly build to the "stock rom" slot (I'd read there was some trouble using the non-stock-rom slots in SafeStrap). That operation completed with success, but when I tried to reboot, it froze at the CM12 splash screen. I tried this with a few more custom ROMS and they all do the same thing (freeze up on boot logo / splash screen).
I've tried using Odin to flash back the stock firmware. As long as I didn't try to flash the bootloader (BL) Odin shows "PASS". However, when it reboots it again hangs on the Samsung splash screen.
So at this point, I've flashed all stock firmware to the phone (except BL) and it freezes and then goes black screen on the Samsung splash screen. Also, it no longer shows the SafeStrap "recovery / continue" bootup screen since I flashed the stock firmware.
Any ideas on how I can get back to a useable device?...

Googled the error. Solution is to flash the firmware with PIT file. Only problem is that someone has to give you a working pit file.
MATCHING THREAD
Same problem with other Samsung phone and description for the solution --> CLICK ME

I'm still stuck... I'm just looking to get back to a usable device. I really don't care if it's a stock or custom rom at this point. Any help is appreciated.

I tried flashing with the full firmware package I downloaded (4.4.2 G900A stock firmware) which included a *.pit file inside one of the tarballs. I used the PIT/re-partition option and everything succeeded except it still freezes at the Samsung boot logo.

Anyone? I'm getting desperate here...

Looking not taht good. I tried my best with no success May be at this point or in some days in case no one here is able to help you, you could think about checking ebay for "bootloader repair" should be about 40$

AT&T Tab 4 8" T337A Temp Root

This is a temp root and will be removed every hard boot.
I am not responsible if you break your device!
You have been warned.​
Knox is not tripped​
Hello All, I Have found a temp root process for those who have the AT&T Tab 4 with the kernel build Thu Aug 13 17:01:34 KST 2015.
Download Tab 4(Temp root), you will have 3 files. Odin 3.07, boot(LP_fix).tar and Kingroot-4.1.apk.
Install KingRoot on your tablet run and click Start Root. After the first time the process of checked for root will take longer as su will still be installed.
You will now have KingUser installed in /system/app/
When uninstalling bloatware, do it in one go.
When you have to reboot, reboot into download mode or you will get the AT&T unauthorized screen.
Use Odin to Flash PDA with the boot(LP_fix).tar, this will wipe the su links so the kernel doesn't see it and will boot. You will reboot automatically back to the launcher and will be able to reboot without using Odin.
Need help furthering permanent root as this is beyond my skills.
Update 1/27/16 14:35
Deleting all knox related apps is safe so far, setting build.prop ro.build.selinux=0 and a soft reboot seems to put kernel in permissive mode. Download a soft reboot app from the play store for reboots.
Don't let you tablet die and you don't have to keep doing this process!
Thanks to CocaFoca for the boot(LP_fix).tar.
Thanks for the dev(s) of KingRoot.

Does it work
Anyone try this yet?

Seems kind of weird no one is commenting on this, wonder if it works

I see this on a few different sites but no comments on any of them. I use my tab for work and can't afford to be Guinea pig and turn tab into hockey puck so have to wait a while I guess. If anyone can confirm that this works let us know please

Seeing as how the author wont even reply its not worth the risk to me

This works just no hard boots. No knox trips either. Still working on recovery methods maybe someone can help upload there build.prop.

Just search soft reboot in play store and it has red arrows in a circle motion. As long as you don't mess with build prop you will be fine.

on your notes on the 27th you put to do.... setting build.prop ro.build.selinux=0...... do I still do that? The last message you sent said as long as I dont mess with build prop I will be fine...

If you know what your doing you can change build.prop, do you need permissive kernel? All it does is disables SElinux for stuff like xsposed which isn't supported yet. Its aimed more to someone who will help farther to permanent root. The build prop is really good for this device.

I cant get that odin to open will 3.09 work? I already have that one installed

IT WORKED!!!!!! Thank you............................................................................ Soft reboot after doing build prop adjustment and it worked. Bout had a stroke when it said starting apps but couple seconds later started up with ROOT.......................

dumb question, I want viper4android and most say to flash in custom recovery. Can I still go into stock recovery without screwing things up? Then if I can I would have to go into download and flash through odin and then reroot right?

No custom recovery yet as I was told bootloader is locked, until someone confirms custom recovery works in am staying away as there's no Odin firmware and I need warranty. Yes Odin 3.09 will work but it will remove root really no need unless a hard reboot is needed your your tablet dies. Just keep with soft reboots. As for viper I would stay away soundalive is way better. Stock recovery will not work.

Better than viper4android? I highly doubt that. Don't think that is possible

First, just want to say thanks for sharing this info & zip. It brought my tab back from the dead after i rooted. (initially i was unaware it had a locked bootloader until after i rooted). I just have a cpl questions maybe someone in here can answer.
1. Has anyone tried using Flashify or Root Rashr to flash the boot_LP_fix.tar before powering off? I personally have never used either app so i dont know if either can flash .tar files. I know Mobile Odin would probably work, buy it doesn't support LP. 2. Has anyone installed busbox? 3. Do any of the "Hide Root" type apps function in such a way as to let the tab reboot? Those were just a few questions i had about this. Thanks for any info.

Hide root does not work has to do with the kernel checking for root or sumlinks, busy box installs and works but no idea on flashify.

Thanks. Appreciate the info. Im only looking for a way to safely power down bcuz about 2 or 3 times a week my tab doesnt get plugged I into a charged so it gets shut off. My girlfriends mother & son play with it & use it to stream movies. It would be great if there was a functional equivalent of Mobile Odin Pro so when i was done busing it i vould simply flash the tar. file so it would boot. Maybe ill do a little experimenting & see what happens. Thanks again

Can someone with a rooted SM-T337A do a system dump with these files included modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin, recovery.img, a cache dump, and the PIT file??? Please

Thanks worked

I think I dun goofed :c. Was working fine, then I had to reboot, flashed the .tar, but I think I was a second late on catching it, because now it doesn't boot :c Hangs on ATT screen. HEEELP :C

Does anyone have a tar file for the t337a?
