Just updating thru Mobile Odin Pro, pressed the 'Flash' button, said yes to checking MD5, halfway thru that the screen went black and now wont turn on!
Has this happened to anyone else? Is this down to MOP or the phone?
Tried the charger, computer, nothing....
Anthing I can do with my multimeter to see if its getting power? I see some copper contacts under the back cover...

Assume you've pulled the battery? [EDIT] Checking the MD5 may have just crashed the phone out, similar to the way ODIN stutters when you load a file in[/EDIT] - if not try it and then try reach Download mode/Recovery.
For power, try a different usb cable.
Did you flash the wrong firmware? They is plenty version of Note 3.
oh boy, hope this isn't your only or main phone. Sucks to have this happen on holiday.

I dont think so. Maybe it was flashing and u didnt realize. The phone cannot dead just by checking MD5 sum.
BTW,
1- what was your original firmware (region, version...)?
2- what is the firmware u are going to flash? What is the filename?
3- what version of Mobile Odin Pro?
4- have u turned off reactivation lock?
5- have u selected any wipe option?
6- which button (in Mobile Odin Pro) u've used to select the firmware file?

1. MI6 I think. The very first one.
2. MK2 United Kingdom
3. 2.85 I think. The latest one.
4. Dont know.
5. Had wipe data and cache ticked in MOP
6. I loaded the md5 file then removed the kernel and recovery components.
That last bit, I dont understand what you're asking. My phone was about 75% thru checking MD5 and then it died.
Phone is booked in for repair. Just waiting for the envelope from Samsung to send it to them.
I had the same issue..I flashed very latest firmware it solved..mobile odin is very risky

Not sure what I have done but can somebody please help..... I flashed the kernel and now it just sticks at the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 screen. I can power it off and hold the volume button and go into Odin, I can see it from Odin on my Laptop OK but am now sure what to do next??
So, I power off, hold the volume button in and it pops up a screen warning about downloading custom roms, so I press the volume down button to continue, then it goes to DOWNLOADING Do Not Turn Off Target but whats the next step?
Reflash stock rom.

It would've been helpful if you told what you model number is. I assume it is a P5113. It shouldn't matter what region you download as there is only one download anyways.

is there a fix for this after going to the 4.3 update. i flashed the stock image from odin and now it am having this issue. My phone also has a black transparent popup with yellow lettering. I believe it is in factory mode. There is no data in the efs file. I think that is the overall issue right now. Does anyone have any help/ suggestions?
Here is what I have done to try and fix this issue
Reflash with odin
reflash with keis
factory reset through operating system
factory reset through recovery
reflash with odin using pit file as well

If you read the description "how to recover from a hard brick", the phone don't boot at all (appear to be dead). That because there's nothing there to boot, the SDcard mount a new boot image to assist the phone to boot. Currently you don't have much choice; 1) try the hardbrick method 2) send out for JTAG repair 3) buy a new phone or if still under warranty then send out for replacement.

You need to try couple times (4-5 times), rewrite the image to sd try again and repeat this process a few times.(each time to retry, you need to rewrite the image then try).

DO NOT FLASH THIS IF YOU ARE ON OI1 FIRMWARE OR YOU WILL SOFT BRICK YOUR PHONE
How to Install:
Using odin:
Download and install the drivers
Download the Zip file
Unzip
Download Odin
Leave Auto reboot and F. Reset Time checked
Absolutely do not check repartition
Click AP/PDA
Navigate to the OF7.tar
Click Start
First boot takes a while so be patient!
This is rare but if for some reason you get a bootloop or stuck on the Sprint screen, then you will need to wipe your internal or do a factory reset. Back up any files that you may want to a computer or drive just incase you lose them.

Sprint s6 edge it was boot looping only staying in Android for maybe 3-5 mins at a time. So i tried to flash it. I may have flashed 5.0.x to it. Now when I try to flash I can flash cm.bin, sboot and it always dies on boot.img. I really need some guidance on what i should try next.
Looking around shows boot.img not flashing is possibly the kernel but I am having trouble finding one that it will let me flash.

Like I said from my knowledge, you should be hard bricked, but if someone else went from 5.1.1 to 5.0.X and back, you might want to find out what they did. Don't think it's possible
Hey i got a Samsung Galaxy S6 that only boots to download mode. I feel like I have tried all the methods already listed in the many other threads but nothing is working in my case. I saw a comment that mentioned that the motherboard is dead but could that be it? If I unplug it while it's "downloading" it's shows that i have to connect it to Smart Switch blah blah, so the phone knows that something went wrong it the download progress and I just don't think it would be able to if the motherboard was dead...
So what is my problem and is it fixable? Any help would be appreciated
edit: The current binary also changes from official to custom if I flash twrp so the phone knows that i've downloaded it. So I dont think that a dead eMMC is the case either. I can't get the phone to shut off if I leave it then it will get stuck in bootloop. Only way to shut it off is to drain the battery... :/

Yes but am still facing the excat same issue as I did before, where odin passes but I won't boot. The only change is that message.
I am facing similar issue. I just wanted to reboot device and it stuck on samsung logo. Flashed odin passed everything fine for 3 weeks. Another reboot and stucked but now stucked even after odin flash. I flashed twrp and lineage 16 then back to 14.1. Some programs say that everything is OK with device. Memmory and all. I just dont know what happened and why. I would really like to go back to stock but now I am just not sure it will happen AGAIN.
