Jelly Bean and straight talk

i am wanting to find out how to manually switch my rom to the lastest version of jelly bean. i cant do it through settings because my phone has been flashed so i will have to do it through a SD card i suppose. Can anyone give me step by step directions on how to do this manually. it has not been unlocked or rooted unless they did it when they flashed it over.... i also want to go to straight talk with my phone it is the verizon version galaxy s3 sch-I535. I know you cant get good data but it has to be better than what i flashed too. So i need step by step instructions for that too please and thanks

Open it in Odin PDA
---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------
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

it is definately the correct version of odin. did you extract it first? and are you selecting pda and then pointing to the md5 file? dont extract the md5 file only extract odin.

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?

Knox Bootloader?

Didnt know there was an ND5. There wasnt even an ND5 when I downloaded the kernel source code from samsung. And nope, There like 2 knox files in the entire firmwares which is just left behind crap I believe. Absolutely does not give you a knox bootloader and crap tho. Do make sure your tablet is a T230NU model and not just a T230 model.

Thanks a lot for this. So if I'm rooted and want to install system updates I would first backup data to sd card via titanium ,(or to pc?) , then factory restore via settings, Odin with this firmware, install updates, then vroot + terminal supersu, then restore backups.... correct? I'm still trying to figure out what bloatware is safe to remove...a guide on how to clean a out of the box tab 4 7.0 would be greatly appricated....

Will this Root my T230NU?
Hi, I am new to the Android market and I was wondering if this "stock" image will root my Samsung Galaxy 4 T230NU.
I am a formerly iDevice owner and I am quite familiar with Jailbreaking.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Ed,
I'm kind of new as well however I can tell you that this process will not root it. In my case, because I updated the software I had to use the stock Rom in order to downgrade and then root it. ShinySide explains the.. Rooting procedure in another post

thanks!

I just used these links to download the firmware and they worked great. Mega took 1/3 as much time to pull from as Sammobile. Thank you Shinyside! You are awesome. If I wasn't a broke college kid I'd would def donate.
---------- Post added at 01:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ----------
So I rooted my Tab 4 7" and then decided to switch to Nexus 7 and sell my Tab 4. Both great devices but the specs and updates draw me to try Nexus after the Tab. Anyway, I went to Sammobile to get the Stock rom and inadvertently ended up with the Nook version. OOOPS. Had to reflash but the second firmware I downloaded from Sammobile (at about 1 hour each, ugh) kept failing. Even after wiping the Cache and resetting I could not flash with Odin. Tried placing the image on the SD and installing in Recovery and still no luck. Then I turned to the ONLY source for self support of Android and found ShinySide with the stuff I needed. Downloaded with the Mega link which took 20+ min instead of an hour and it flashed straight away and my Tab 4 is back to being a Tab 4 instead of a Nook. Just wanted to give props to ShinySide for his efforts on behalf of the community and his patience to put up with noobs even when they do/say silly stuff!

Thank you so much!!
Ive been trying to download this file from all these crappy sites and they keep timing out thank you so much.

Thanks for the great info.

@ShinySide feel free to add these to the OP if you want

tried rooting and somone got stuck at loading screen with device name and powered by android screen....stuck there and got odin to load and apparently flash the stock but im still stuck...

thank you
HI so i tried installing twrp recovery for my SM-t230NU And it got stuck in bootloop after trying to load custom recovery. Not a single Tar file md5 file worked until i got this rom and USED odin to install it. Odin just kept crashing on me till I got here and used the md5 file provided. It pushed the files while in download mode and rebooted and even still had all my apps and email going.
Again thank you so much and please reply if you have the same device and need help. I thought i bricked my Christmas present.

[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.

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...

Okay I'm at work so I do have all the correct zip files and Odin version, but I used Odin and automobile rar. File started Odin and it failed half way through, when I tried it a second time it seemed to get further but failed also, once I unplugged and reboot, a message said the update failed to use kies to complete the update. The kies reinstalled the rom back to factory and I lost everything. .

As far as I know the CF-Auto-Root/TWRP method still works fine in Lollipop.

Yeah I tried three different ways and I have rooted multiple devices for years, maybe I'm missing something simple. .

Try vroot or kingroot you can find kingroot at kingroot.net you can vroot at www.mgyun.com/vroot apk there's an apk version and there's a PC version

I have just tryed rooting using vroot as suggested here with no luck, at least with the apk. SM-N915F note edge unlocked on 5.0.1 , any ideas ?

I am furious that this simple process has gotten hard for me. I flashed CF auto root, and it failed (as the thread said it would). I went through the steps to flash TWRP and it fails the same way THAT CF auto-root failed. I tried to use the no-download mode option on step 4 instead (like you guys suggested) and my odin just sat there. It was still on, but everything was grayed out. There was no change to my phone and it was still usable.
I rooted this phone no problem when I bought it. I just factory reset it and flashed to 5.0.1. What am I doing wrong?

G920F 6.0.1 but NO IMEI anymore!

Hello guys!
Just I've flashed the XEF 6.0.1 firmware but now when I try to see my IMEI with *#06# I get UNKONWN APPLICATION. In Settings Menu/About/ I can see the IMEI but he cannot be displayed by *#06#.
I've tried to go back to stock firmware with SmartSwitch Recovery but I get the same problem.
Any solutions?
Thank you!

If you don't gave the efs files backed up... mmm... samsung service center is the only solution I think
Replied through TapaTalk from SM-G920I

well dude G920F is piece of junk i didnt know that until i buy it and i have same problem i accepted updates and i got no service its piece of junk i think am going to go with sony or motorola for now on i will never buy this Samsung

Samsung service is the only way? Hmmm...I got the Knox Tripped so...It's not a good idea Samsung service

try going back to 5.1.1 and see

Tried and same thing.

Third party service centre ... Russian/indian/pakistani/ guy who own z3x is yours solution

you can fix it
with octoplus box oe z3x just find some one who repairs imei and askhim if he got octoplus box or z3x make sure he knows what he doing because most of those Indians are retarded (no offense to Indians )
the bad things you get is
50% you cant get ota updates
different imei
different serial number
time to time signal drops and disconnected during calls :'(
you have 50% chance you cant get stock with smart switch if you try updates
you have 50% stuck bootloop after flashing stock with odin
the good things is there is a good thing its just try to sell it to another guy dont tell him whats wrong LOL
basicaly its like...dude its a junk and i have one i hate it am thinking selling it with 400bucks and move on to Motorola droid turbo 2(no worry about dropping in on the ground) or nexus 6p

This bad things will be after I try to recover IMEI with octoplus? Because now the phone is working well, only bad thing is I cannot see IMEI with *#06# only I can see it in Settings/ Imei Info.

Yeah it's after fixing it but wait don't rush just wait maybe some one can help

For now install twrp recovery and make easy radio backup or full back up and save it to your pc just in case things goes down

For installing TWRP I should flash also the 5.1.1 bootloader or I can flash it directly on 6.0.1?
In Samsung INFO app from Playstore can I see IMEI but in the CSC ORIGINAL box is nothing, is empty. How to make show the Original CSC?

I've finished the problem! I made a Factory Reset from Settings and everything is ok now!
Thank you!

Just do a factory reset from settings menu (factory reset from recovery wont help to fix this issue) and thats it you'll find ur imei on dialing *#06#.. its just a small buy...6.0.1 update is more stable than 5.1.1 and its ready to go.

samsung switch emergency recovery

Try in the options menu of samsung switch and you should find an option with emergency recovery, insert the model number and the s/n wait a bit to reset up everything and try to flash again.. worked with me once so let me know if helped you too
