Tried Flashing some n8000 note 10 pit files I've found searching on google but with no luck, saying that Re-partition operation failed.
Sorry if my english is bad, i am just desperate to fix my note T.T

F***** up partition information table .
You need a service centre repair but as you have no warranty it may be worth you trying to repair . See PIT info thread in development .

I've tried the pit files for n8000 in the link you gave, still operation failed.
I guess i need to download stock ics rom in sammobile first as I only have stock jb available.
tnx btw

Did it Work?
So it's the same case for me too,
I was using Omega ROM. It was very good actually but one day it went to the boot screen and ceased there.
So I got the .pit files as mentioned above.
As you flashed 4.0.4 with the above pit file, did it work?

help me
hi friends & master
please help me
excuse me for question
I did not know what questions to ask
Is there any way to transfer games and apps to the internal storage with app2sd (moving apps & games in from system Rom to SD card(internal) no memory card)?
my system rom There is almost full
1.44 GB (148 MB free)
internal 12.6 GB (5.8 GB free)
SD card 12.5 GB (5.6 GB free)
I do not need to memory card

hi again
why long press and holding any app in menu not move in to info or recycle bin(for deleted) ?
this for all or me?

Unfortunately, flashing ICS stock or JB stock roms + pit file didnt work.
Tried different Odin versions to no luck.
Guess I need to send my note to samsung service center

So it's the same case for me too,

[Help] I soft bricked my phone, i am desperate.

I am so lost as to what to do next, i really need guidance.
I am offering a bitcoin tip or a paypal tip to whomever helps me get my phone to work ASAP.
So i was attempting to root my phone [GALAXY S6 - SM-G920F]
Got the file from: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ which should've matched my Phone.
First attempt failed, got back into my phone everything is fine. Tried the same thing again, failed this time i get this message:
An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." The logs for the times it has failed:

Tried connecting with Kies and Smart switch, none can find the device just keeps buffering and for smart switch it just say it's not supported. I am able to get into downloading mode, but that's it.
Got newest Kies, odin 3 v.10.7.exe however on my first go i noticed i had odin3 v.10.6 but now i got the latest i believe. After reading around i decided to try to fix it back to normal, so i downloaded my countries [sweden] firmware this one: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/confirm/57869/G920FXXU3COI9_G920FVDS3COI6_VDS/

Please Xda your my only hope. All i wanted was to free up space on my phone.. That's it.. :crying:
Ps. Worth mentioning, sometimes my usb is not recongnized and it flickers on and off (connectiong) but seems
to be fine most of the times and during the odin trials.

To root your phone, couldn't you simply flash twrp and then unikernel, like the guides say?
However, I'd try doing the following:
First of all, download the stock firmware for your version from samfirmware, then flash it via Odin (make sure the versione you download is the same you had before, or at least a more recent one).
From your logs, the problem seems to be pit file, so try reading here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916936
If not, completely delete odin and download it again, maybe trying with a different firmware.
If everything goes well, let it boot into setup wizard, then you will able to root it again, this time following the standard procedure with odin:
- Make sure "Auto reboot" flag is NOT checked;
- Flash the twrp odin-flashable file (can't post links here, but you'll find them in General section);
- Manually reboot into recovery (Hold power+home+volume up).
- Once you're into twrp, flash unikernel and reboot.
Your phone will be rooted

I just begain with youtubing easy way to root and i just said download odin, get the right firmware plug in an click odin.
That has failed and it's bricked, however i have tried to get my countries firmware, it didint work and produced my last log that i posted.
I am downloading another one there is two for Sweden however the other one says Sweden tre which is an operator over here and not one that i use so i doubt that will work?
i will attempt to download it but it takes 3h due to the limited speed at sammmobile.
So summarize, the sweden firmware from sammobile failed ;_;
What i do is, put phone in download mode, open odin, get the AP [Sweden from sammomobile] it finds it and press start, quickly after it says failed and i am back to square one.
I was reading the link you gave me about the pit files, it appears the error could be related to me having the wrong firmware?
I am seriously offering a bitcoin tip or a paypal tip to whomever helps me get my phone to work.

There are firmwares here for VDS.
Uninstall Kies and reboot your PC before using Odin.

Should i try all of those or just take the latest?
3H download, jesus my fiber is crying.

If you were on 5.1.1, then get 5.1.1
You can try the file you dl before. Just uninstall Kies before using Odin.

You dont need to download another rom dude...the problem is your usb dont get recognized and after a while it will disconnect...it happened to me aswell...searched on youtube did an easy fix and then i flashed stock rom with odin and joined marshmallow beta...
Tldr: search on youtube a fix for usb not recognized...i dont have a link sorry you have to search it by yourself its an easy fix..

Is it OK to flash with the latest stock roms? G920FXXU3? or should I flash only G920FXXU2? they are both 5.1.1 anyway.. If i flash with G920FXXU3, can i downgrade it to G920FXXU2? thanks for any help

You're fine with either.

@WaDoDem
First of all, calm down. Believe me it's harder than you think to brick S6 in a not fixable way
If Odin doesn't flash official roms or you just cant suffer a slow a** download speed from SamMobile :
1. Press and hold all of 4 buttons on your device. (Volume up + Volume Down + Home + Power) your device will reboot.
2. As soon as device reboots release volume up and hold other 3 three. (Power + Home + Volume Down). Your device should boot into downloading mode.
3. Download this :
https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/twrp-2.8.7.2-zeroflte.img.tar.html
4. Connect your phone to your pc and flash above file with Odin. As soon as flashing process finishes, hold Power+Home + Volume Up. Now your device will boot into TWRP recovery.
5. Wait for drivers to be installed. Your pc should show phone's internal storage as connected device. If not, go to TWRP Mount section and enable MTP mode. (Or if it's enabled, disable and re enable it )
6. Download this rom :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...rom-2013266107-arrow-rom-v1-0-0-fast-t3212318
And this kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nified-development/kernel-vindicator-t3156281
Then put them on your phone.
7. Wipe system,data,cache and dalvik cache from twrp.
8. Install Arrow Rom first and then flash Vindicator Kernel.
9.Reboot, first boot can take up to 15 minutes
10.Continue celebrating new year [emoji14]

sometimes if odin not working i restart my computer and put my mobile in downloadmode again and than i try again,most of the time it worked.....

If you think you can't find a wat at all, Samsung will help u. Download smartswitch to your PC and you can click in top corner emergency reinstall (or something like that) just put your serial number (as found on your backside of the phone)

4. Connect your phone to your pc and flash above file with Odin. As soon as flashing process finishes said:
Odin cant find the tar file.
I got odin 3V3.10.7 in options auto reboot and f. reset time are all bocked in is that right?
On files to download i am able to do, ap,cp,csc,bl neither of those help to find the recovery image that i am supposed to start?

I cannot use recovery since none of the numbers i have on the back of my phone matches the one i need to enter.
i tried device initialization that led to FAILED TO UPDATE DUE TO AN ERROR.
and then smart switch recommends emergency software recovery the one you were talking about but i dont know how to get my code.
I assumed you meant to input my phones IMEI however that did not prove to be correct.

Relax, flip your phone and on the bottom you'll see (barely visible) text. The last line it says: 'S/N:'
The code after is your serial number. So not your IMEI
The same code is found on the stickers you'd got with your phone

When i go to Smart switch Emergency Software recovery and input my S/N R58G52AMP1J
it says:
''Unable to find the recovery code. Check the recovery code in the PC's Emergency Software Recovery menu, or contact the samsung service center.''
When i did Device initialization used my model nr and S/N: R58G52AMP1J, halfway through completing the process, the first one did 100% then the next loading didint start got the error and that re-directed me to try Emergency Software Recovery.

If Odin says no PIT, he'll need to Odin the PIT file for his device first then Odin the factory firmware.

Did you get the appropriate PIT file for your devices Internal storage? It does matter whether its the 32 64 or 128GB version.

I just downloaded and tried the pit that above user posted.

It's a Galaxy s6 32GB.

Help, I messed up! [Samsung SM-P905 UK version]

Have a Note Pro 12.2. Was wanting to install Lineage 16.0 OS on it.
Went into recovery and did a wipe/install.
Was able to root it using Odin.
Downloaded the Lineage files onto an SD card
Downloaded TWRP on the tablet with Google Play
Flashed the boot.img file to recovery
When I try to reboot into recovery, I get a Set Warranty Bit : Recovery on the startup screen and it just hangs there
I think I did originally backup the recovery file, but I cant seem to find it now. Its not on the SD card for the device where I thought it was.
Weirdly,
Booting regularly gets me the same screen
Booting into recovery gets me this screen (obviously)
Booting into bootloader gets me this screen too
I can't seem to power it down either, all key options just seem to loop back to the
bad recovery message.
It no longer 'connects' via USB to my computer either.
Can anyone please help me try to get this back? I can provide any additional info as well.
Im currently trying to find the original firmware for this device, but I haven't been very successful yet.
I would be very grateful for any information or links or help you could offer.
Thank you.

I opened the back just now to pull the battery.
When I replace it, and turn it back on, it goes to the same screen.

You're the second this year to post this problem, and nobody seems to have a fix.
Was thinking of putting a custom rom on mine, but this has put me off that idea.

Revert back to stock
To get your tablet back to a running state and revert everything back to stock, you'll want to use one of these two stock firmwares from the Sammobile site. I picked these two out based on the fact that you said you had a UK device. The firmware in the first link is from 2017, while the second link contains a firmware from 2016.
Personally, I have had no luck getting any of the recent firmware from any of the regions to install on my SM-P905 through ODIN; I get errors about partition sizes. However, installing older firmware from other regions works just fine. Try either of the two links and if the latest one for UK doesn't work, try the other one.
From 2017: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note-pro/SM-P905/BTU/download/P905XXSABQC1/127655/
From 2016: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note-pro/SM-P905/BTU/download/P905XXUABPG4/89307/
A successful installation of the firmware will reset your bootloader, recovery, and rom back to stock Lollipop. You will be able to use your tablet at that point, although give it a good long time to boot the very first time. This will give you a clean slate to try and install Lineage 16, or any other rom of your choice.

Thanks for the info, Shardsx, I'm downloading them now.

OK, an update.
I let the device power down completely on the Set Warranty Bit : Recovery screen until it died.
I then plugged the tablet into the usb on my desktop, and I was able to press power and the vol down (Recovery screen? It says Odin mode) again, but I havent been able to do much with it through Odin or Kies programs for reflashing the firmware.
If I press power and vol up, I get the same Set Warranty Bit : Recovery screen.

Please elaborate a little on why you haven't been able to do much with it through Odin. In your first step, you said you let the device power down completely until it died, which makes it sound like you drained the battery. You'll want plenty of battery power for this process, so charge your device up. It sounds like you do know how to get into Download/Odin mode, so I won't ask about that. Instead, tell us a little bit more about what you're doing in Odin. Are you loading the firmware using the AP button? Which of the two files are you trying to load? Are you unzipping the firmware file first so that you're flashing the *.tar.md5 file? Are you waiting the appropriate amount of time for the firmware to unpack within Odin before attempting to flash anything? (This step takes a long time too) Are you able to successfully start the firmware upload? What results are you getting? Are you leaving the Odin options as stock when you do this?

I havent had much time to work on it.
Once I do, I'll post and update to it, and your questions.
Thanks

OK, so initially, I let the device die down so that there was nothing left on the battery - I was unable to shut it off. When it would reboot, it always gave me that same Set Warranty Bit : Recovery screen.
I charged it completely, and was able to boot into the download mode, but initially, I couldnt get it to register when I plugged into the USB.
Here is what the recovery/download mode said...
Product Name: Samsing SM-P905
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Knox Warranty: Void 0x1 (0)
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable (CSB)
RP Swerv: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
Secure Download: Enable
UDC Start
After a few reboots, it did though, and Odin was able to see it.
When I ran Odin, with both firmwares, they both gave me the Invalid EXT4 Image error... I then read online that I probably needed to reflash the PIT file for it.
I tried but was unsuccessful in reading mine off the device using a couple of tools., but I did find one in this thread that I tried... https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2758925
It didnt seem to work.
I rebooted the device a couple of times, and with one of the firmwares above, it would fail almost immediately with the same EXT4 error, saying something about the volume size being different (40960 vs 204800 ish), the second one, however, seemed to carry on further, almost 3/4 the way through the process before it failed with the same (volume size too big). I think that the PIT I used was incorrect, which is why I was asking for my specific one in another thread. I cant seem to find hardly any PITs for this device.
I also tried using Kies, as after one reboot, it said on screen to use it to recover firmware, but while it did connect to PC via USB, Kies did not detect it, either before the PIT and after.

Heres the Odin error mesage for the second firmware that lasted a while...

Thanks to the help from nowheretohide and shardsx, I was able to get my tablet restored to factory... Used Odin and the file provided here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2758925&page=2
Now, because I obviously messed it up so bad the first time, and am now gun shy, can anyone help me install Lineage 16.0 with a step by step?

Don't be gun-shy. You now have almost all the tools to recover from similar issues in the future.
I'm using Odin 3.11 for these instructions. Assumptions I'm making is that you have already downloaded a working version of TWRP for this tablet (remember, the absolute latest versions on the official TWRP site are not compatible with our tablets. Go through the TWRP site and look at the compatibility page for our tablet, or use Valera's custom TWRP).
Step 1: Charge up that tablet.
Step 2: Get into Download mode.
Step 3: Open up Odin. Leave options as default. The one you should really double-check is to make sure that "Re-Partition" is not checked or enabled.
Step 4: Click the AP button and load the TWRP recovery image, and then upload it to your tablet through Odin. Your tablet will reboot automatically reboot. You might as well enter Recovery at this point.
Step 5: I usually store the the ROM images on an external SD card. Inside Recovery, I usually like to do an advanced wipe and wipe out /system /data /cache to . Then, I'll flash the ROM image from the external SD card. After the flash, just reboot the tablet and wait until Android starts up.
I apologize for not providing screenshots. I'm doing this off the top of my head but generally that's what I do to load new ROMs.
The above steps will get you a barebones Android. You'll still have to flash Google's stuff on top if you want to go that way, but basically repeat Step 5 but replace it with the recommended Google packages and that should get you set up pretty good.

I think it was the fact that I used a different version of TWRP. Oops.
Will try again using the correct tools now.
Also, I think Ill go with CRdroid - I'd just like to have a speedier tablet with no Samsung bloatware and maybe a little better battery life, since I replaced the batteries not long ago.
Thank you all!

Got it running with CRdroid, was a little laggier than I liked and some apps were crashing...
Tried lineage 16.0 and found it much better.

GT-N8020 - Not booting - no Recovery - need access to data

I need some troubleshoot tinkering
I have received a Note 10.1 (GT-N8020) from a friend who would appreciate if I could salvage pictures and documents that was on this tablet, and let us not debate his backup options.
Problem with the tablet is it wont boot properly.
It just hangs on the Samsung animation.
As first troubleshoot step my thought was to boot into Recovery and wipe cache and dalvik, just to get it booting. But I simply cannot boot into Recovery. I can only get to ODIN mode.
After several attempts giving up on Recovery, my plan was to flash a new Recovery onto tablet by using ODIN mode, however all attempts both with several different version of ODIN and different version of TWRP fails to be flashed.

So here I am, feeling stuck.
Either I am thinking there is a defect with the NAND chip, why the tablet must have failed in first place, however I can also find some articles claiming some of Samsung's tablets does not have a Recovery mode/partition, is this true for this model?
I have not reflashed entire tablet, since I need access to whatever data there must be on the tablet.
I also found description on sammobile explaining how to re-install ROM while preserving apps and data, but they keep mentioning ROMs based on 5 files (AP, BL, CP, CSC, HOME_CSC), while I can only find ROMs based on single files (AP)
Link to article (see step 2)
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-101/firmware/GT-N8020/CNX/download/N8020XXUDOH1/55623/
Anyone know where I can download such ROM based on 5 files (Samsung official ROM)
Suggestions for any other methods I can try to get the data out of tablet?

Try Philz Recovery instead of TWRP .
Not sure if ADB will work for you .

Philz Recovery tried to flash and fails too

Recover data try ADB .

IIRC would that not require USB debugging enabled (which I cannot since it will not boot) and the Android in a running state?

Thanks to the SamFirm tool I managed to find some ROMs configured with CSC_HOME. On first shot it failed to flash these ROMs too. But I will try some more tinkering

I guess your eMMC is locked.
So the only possible solution would be to desolder it and read the data directly out of it.

Whereas the OP gives a link to an "article" at sammobile, that page has since changed and no longer gives any useful instruction for re-flashing while preserving apps and data. However, I believe that the original "step 2" of that page referred to was : "2. Add each file to its respective field in Odin v3.14.4. Use CSC_*** if you want to do a clean flash or HOME_CSC_*** if you want to keep your apps and data."

Probably a bit late for the original poster from 2020 .
Could try flashing with No CSC .

Sure, there's a good chance that the original tablet has since become e-waste, however, there is also some chance that it's sitting in his friend's drawer in the slim hope of a resolution.
However, my clarification about "step 2" is for the benefit of other readers of this thread, since the OP will already know this information.
My own GT-N8020 tablet has the exact same problem. I was able to overcome the flashing difficulty by using the Prince Comsy patched version of Odin 3.12.3 (which disregards spurious USB communications errors that tend to occur).
However, re-flashing without the CSC portion of the firmware doesn't resolve the problem. I can't include the CSC portion as this will clear the data that I need to recover, and I haven't yet been able to find a HOME_CSC alternative.
