Stuck at Samsung boot screen and can't fix it? (Ubuntu Touch) - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed Ubuntu Touch and as it says on their wiki page, there are known issues like device fails to boot after rebooting, and I'm stuck at this point.
When I boot i get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and when trying to turn it off by holding on the power button for 5-10seconds it turns black for a few seconds and comes right back to the samsung boot screen.
They do say how to fix this in the wiki, but I got no idea how I can get access to those files and modify them
I would have posted on their development thread, but as I don't have 10 posts, I can't do that.

although i haven't tried ubuntu touch still you can try going into download mode by holding power button and volume down button both together and flash stock rom or
try going into recovery mode and restore cwm or twrp backup which you must have made

yeah, i was thinking that, but I don't know how to? The only thing I have access to is "Download Mode", so I have been trying to find a way to install a new ROM from odin, but with no luck. I'm still a beginner to these stuff, so if you could show me a way to use twrp or cwm to install a new rom that would be great I used twrp to install Ubuntu Touch, but I needed access to Android to install twrp.
I didn't do a real backup before, but I saved all the important data online. I just want to make fresh install of Android, don't care if it's the original from Samsung or some custom rom

I had Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, and the only reason I installed UK was becuase I'm from Faroe Islands, and it's not listed there, it could be the danish one, but that wasn't listed either, so I have no idea which one to choose. And this file doesn't exist anymore :/ http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=20586 so what should i try?

Hi,
Did you try to use ADB to find out whether your tablet can communicate with Odin??
Try this command:
adb devices
And reply with the output.
About the Jelly bean firmware, may be you can use other countries ( e.g. Dutch or German ) which is available for your device??
By the way, which recovery do you have and can you get into it??

I ran that, and i got an empty list, I tried while it's in download mode and while it's turned off:
Code:
C:\Users\Jeggy\cminstaller\bundle\win32>adb.exe devices
List of devices attached
And yes I have Samsung USB Drivers installed. But I don't think my device is working anymore, I'm not getting the samsung boot screen anymore, the absolutely only thing I have access to now is download mode. I uploaded a video to youtube showing how it looks now:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgtZPHjoudw
Or do you guys still have hope for me, as I still have access to download mode?

First of all, do not panic.
You still have the download mode
Second, the problem is clear, your adb driver is not installed properly. Solve this and then use ODIN to flash a stock firmware for your device.
By the way what is your device?? N8010??

OK, I also have N8010
I think you did not do the steps at the right moments.
First of all we need to fix the ADB issue.
Therefore you need to do the following:
1. Put your your N8010 in download mode and start your ODIN
2.Connect the USB cable to your PC then to your tablet.
3.If the adb driver is not installed correctly, it will now.
4.Check your device manager for this.
5.If OK then
6. DO adb devices..Now you should get an output.
7.Check whether your ODIN also detects your tablet ( ID:com shows in color ).
8.Go back to Odin.
9.Flash your firmware with it.
10.If succeeded, your N8010 will come back to live
Good luck

That one which is selected gets there when connecting to the pc, and when removing the usb it gets removed, and the other that is unknown I got no idea what it is, probably just some random driver I'm missing, I installed Windows 8 myself.
Even with the "Samsung Mobile USB" driver in the device manager I get an empty list when running adb devices
I just tested running adb devices with my phone and it worked right away:
Code:
C:\Users\Jeggy>adb devices
List of devices attached
47901ea687d530a8 device
And this is while having my tablet connected
EDIT
and when it said "NAND Write Start!!" it did change something on the tablet itself, I got a blue loading bar(The same one as when rooting but this time not moving) under "Do not turn off target!!" but it started at 100% and never changed

This means that your PC and tablet are connected and the ADB driver is installed correctly.
At this point you must see the comm:id field ofOIDIN changes color.
At this point you can choose your firmware and then click on start.

Are you sure you are using a total package firmware and NOT the one with 3 packages??
In the latter case you need to fill PDA, modem and CSC in ODIN

It does change color and get "0:[COM4]", and I don't know which 3 packages you are talking about, I am trying the one I got from samMobile which is a .tar.md5 file and is a 1.5GB file. I never tried CSC and don't know what it is and how to get one

I727R Soft-bricked can't flash

Hey, complete noob but will try to give a concise post of what I've done and where I'm at now. I received an I727R second hand and I am trying to put seanzscreams Sky ICS rom on it but am constantly running in to problems. Here are some important details:
Phone: SGH-I727R
Android Version: 2.3.5 GB (stock rogers firmware)
Baseband: I727RUXKJ7
Kernel: 2.6.35.11
Unrooted
O/S: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Phone was in USB debugging mode before I bricked it
Did *#7284# and switched from Modem to PDA
Plugged in phone first time ever to PC, drivers installed OK. Installed Kies from Canadian Samsung website, did not recognize phone. Uninstalled/Reinstalled Kies after using registry cleaner; no difference, still connection error (wouldn't troubleshoot too). Uninstalled Kies. Uninstalled samsung drivers, installed standalone samsung drivers (Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1_3_2200_0.exe). Reinstalled Kies still no difference. Uninstalled Kies and standalone drivers, used registry cleaner, plugged in phone and let drivers install from Windows update.
Next I figured I wanted to root my phone so I could install CWM, and custom ROMs.
Installed android sdk for windows; made sure I had adb drivers for my phone. Tried to use adb for zergRush exploit; exploit worked but when running the command "adb remount" adb wouldn't recognize device (does the phone need to be in download mode when doing this whole process? Never was it mentioned that it needed to be). Then tried to use Skyrocket Easy Root method from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340710), plenty of errors but it resulted in my phone apparently being rooted. Tried installing ROM manager from market to then install CWM, said I had no permissions (phone isn't rooted).
Then after getting frustrated...
Tried grabbing Odin 1.8.5 and this recovery file for CWM (http://www.mediafire.com/?5xc7gjkrbwihajp) and tried to flash to phone. First attempt it got stuck at <ID:0/004> recovery.img, let it stay for about +15min, nothing. Phone bricked (Firmware upgrade encountered etc.; not able to get in to download mode). Next tried to reinstall stock rogers 2.3.5. Still nothing, hangs at <ID:0/004> SetupConnection... Tried multiple times to reboot phone and then load firmwares again, nothing. Latest error is this after trying the recovery image again <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1). Moving the phone to different USB ports on my laptop makes Odin not recognize the phone at all
I beg someone to help me unbrick this phone and to help me get the custom ICS debloated version running on it. I'm short of pulling all of my hair out from frustration
Thanks for taking the time to read this
Look at the Odin tar thread. Its a sticky in the development section. Flash the tar file to completely restore your device. And read read read

Odin is still running so I'm not sure what to do now
Sorry guys, I've just been frustrated with hitting so many problems right from the beginning after reading through numerous guides. I guess I did rush too fast in trying to upgrade it/fix it but now I face the result of it. Hopefully I can unbrick it and learn why it wouldn't flash. As for now though I feel like I'm at a dead end because Odin is still running and it seems that it won't write for whatever reason.

did you read the whole sticky, theres a troubleshooting section for odin, basically
you have a problem with
1. drivers
2. usb cable
3. usb port
go through the troubleshooting section for odin, thats why i wrote it, but if newbs arent going to read it then why the frack did i write it.
Throwing this out there.
Set time out to 10 minutes
Enable usb debugging in settings
Enable download from unknown sources

When I've have Odin trouble sometimes this helped.
1. Uninstall kies if you have it installed, it will leave the drivers.
2. Try a different version of Odin and /or a different USB port
3. Try a different PC
If all else fails pm me

I made sure all of that was checked before I bricked the phone. Phone is completely bricked, I cannot get in to download mode or even recovery mode. It goes straight to the screen with an image of the phone yellow warning triangle and computer with the text reading "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

I've already had Kies uninstalled before I started to actually try flashing things to the phone. I've downloaded Odin 1.8.3 and it won't recognize the phone at all. I've tried different USB ports but I get an error from Windows saying that the USB device has malfunctioned and both Windows and Odin cannot see the phone; the only way I can get my system to see the phone again is if I reboot the phone and plug it in before the error screen shows. I'm going to be doing a little more troubleshooting before I try it out with another computer which will likely be tomorrow. Thanks for all the replies so far guys I'm gonna try tinkering with the drivers but I'm worried about my system not being able to see the phone if I do. I have no access to another cable and the cable I am using is not the OEM cable that came with the phone so the problem might be that right there.

your not bricked if u see the dl screen, your on the right track for troubleshooting, just take it slow as your phone is not dead, but go through my odin troubleshooting section in the 2nd link in my sig.
kies and adb should not be running in the background, and yes get a samsung usb cable to rule out cable issues
I think your whole problem was when you did this
"Did *#7284# and switched from Modem to pda"
Ive never had to do that with mine. Just put phone in download mode. Use odin and flash. Runnin windows 7 x64 found drivers by it self.

Ive never had to do that with mine. Just put phone in download mode. Use odin and flash. Runnin windows 7 x64 found drivers by it self.

[Q] Rooting gone bad

I have a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 w/ JB 4.1.1 through AT&T that got screw up while rooting
I was following the guide here:
androidrooting.com/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-2-10-1-p5100/
I deviated from the guide in 1 way. When it says to select the '.zip' file, I assumed they meant the .md5, as .zip is not an option
When I hit start on Odin, Odin crashed. I loaded it up and tried it again. This time it 'failed'. My tablet rebooted to the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." So, I installed Kies on my computer and tried to do what it says. When the device is plugged in Kies tries to connect but comes back with the error "Device not responding. To fix the issue, reboot the device". I also tried using Odin again to continue where I left off, but it simply fails.
Any advice would be great. Please help, thanks!

Strange, because it should work. You didn't need to select the .zip file indeed, choosing the .md5 file was the right choice. Have you tried running Odin as an administrator?

Just right click on the Odin setup file (the .exe file) and select 'Run as an administrator'. Always run as an administrator when doing something in Odin.
Try running as admin for sure. Even though my windows account is admin, odin will not flash properly. I have to run as admin for it to flash.

Yes the reason it isn't working may be that it was not written for the ATT Tab 2. Never try to install anything like this not written for your tablet or phone. Close does not count.

Yes!! Thank you so much! That fixed my tablet [and rooted it]. You are amazing. It didn't strike me that my tablet had any different version.. thanks!! Now to figure out what to do with this root access...
Pay close attention. There are no ROMs on XDA for the ATT I497 Tab2. Do not attempt to install a ROM for another version of our Tab.

[Q] My phone is only detected by Odin in a different way than instructed

I'm trying to follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705260
But the instructions don't work for me. The only way I can make Odin detect my phone is if I start the phone normally (no usb debug, no download mode), connect the usb cable, and when prompted on my phone, select 'firmware update (kies)'.
Then the box on Odin goes yellow as OP says, and it's writen 0:[COM3]
Is that correct? Can I go ahead with rooting like this? I'm going to be installing Beansprout.
Edit:
I tried it anyway, and it failed (0 success 1 fail)
How can I get it to be detected in download mode then?

Hey there,
I am assuming you have no trouble getting into download mode, and Kies is not running at the time?
Kies didn't work for me when it came to appropriate drivers. I ended up using generic Android drivers for stuff like ADB and download mode. The drivers in this package may work for you:

Unfortunately the new drivers didn't help, it's still not detected while in download mode, only when the phone is booted.
Yes, I can enter download mode (robot with a shovel).
When I first tried, Kies was running (didn't know it wasn't supposed to). I uninstalled to be sure it wouldn't run. When that didn't work I installed it again but made sure to close it before trying Odin.
Does it matter if usb debug is on or off? The OP doesn't say either way.
The phone is only detected in Kries firmware update mode (shows up as COM3) or Usb debug mode (shows up as COM4)
State of debug mode shouldn't matter, only matters for ADB (I think). But I would leave it on just in case.
I don't think the availability of COM ports makes any difference either.
Sorry, I am out of ideas for now.

So the idea is to get gingerbread on my phone (with Odin) and then use SGS kernel flasher to install CWM.
If I understood that right, I wonder if I can just use SuperOneClick to install gingerbread, then use the kernel flasher to install CWM.
I do have the kernel flasher on my froyo, but I guess it needs to be gingerbread.
Edit: well, scratch that, 2.3.3 superoneclick download not available :/
Edit: firmware 2.2 is froyo, right? I mean, it says that, and build number froyo, but my kernel version is 2.6.32.9
Alas, another edit! I could try installing jellybean (guide page 1, page 2) but again, that needs superoneclick for which there is no download available unless I'm mistaken.

2.2 is Froyo. Kernel Version 2.6.x has to do with the Linux counterpart, not much to be concerned about at this point.
My concern with SuperOneClick is that if something goes wrong, you will be unable to flash back to Froyo. Best to get Odin working in Download Mode first.
A quick search ("no odin in download mode") found this thread (on a different Samsung device):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561137
So your fix may involve a different version of Odin, a different USB cable (and as a note from some place else) you may want to make sure you are not using a USB 3.0 port (2.0 preferred), and connected straight from the motherboard (no hubs). This may not be a requirement for Odin, but I've seen the recommendation (and it's a requirement for certain HTC tasks).
Edit: ... argh... I did the install recommended to fix the rainbow screen and now the phone is bricked. No signs of life.
I guess it was too good to be true.
Don't do the bootloader he tells you to install to fix rainbow screen.
No download mode, no recovery mode. If I go into recovery mode it just gives me some red letters about RST_stat, IRQ, and some hexcodes (those 0x000 numbers)
Click to expand...

Edit again! I fixed it! I was all ready to get a usb jig. When I tried to go to download mode nothing happened at all. But instead of plugging in the cable to the phone and then to the computer, I plugged it to the computer first and then the phone. It gave me download mode! I thought this was bricked for sure!
So I can't do emergency recovery mode from kries mini, it only gives the option from the 'firmware update' option you get when connecting the phone while it's booted in.
That means I need to do Odin again... I hope it works! This time I won't do the rainbox fix. I'll just deal with it. Rainbows are pretty anyway.

I did try it,it was detected fine, and started installing after Kris Mini put the phone in download mode. But a bit after installing it failed. However, the website does have some more troubleshooting info that could help someone. The website does say kries 3 is not compatible with this model, you have to download kries mini.
Here's the troubleshooting info:
Basic Troubleshooting
General
If you are unable to download an install the Kies mini application you may need to disable all Firewall & Anti-Virus Programs.
Kies Mini Does Not Detect The Phone
Remove previously installed Samsung software and drivers. PC Studio, New PC Studio, or Kies can cause driver conflicts. Uninstall these applications/drivers and reinstall Kies mini.
Enable USB debugging mode before connect your device to the PC.
Close the Kies mini application.
On you device press Menu Menu >Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging to place a checkmark.
Reopen the Kies mini application.
Reconnect your device to the PC.
You may have changed your default USB settings. To check your USB settings follow the instructions below.
Close the Kies mini application.
On you device press Menu Menu > Settings > Applications > USB settings.
Touch Kies (Firmware update).
Reopen the Kies mini application.
Reconnect your device to the PC.
Download or update Windows Media Player to the latest version. Click here for the Windows Media player update website.
Remove previously installed service provider applications (ACM, VMM, etc…). These applications may cause driver conflicts. Uninstall these applications and reinstall Kies mini.
Depending on the amount of data stored in the phone memory, this could impair Kies Mini's ability to detect the device. It may be necessary to remove the microSD card (Requirements). Should problems persist, the internal memory may need to be purged. Backup all desired data (using instructions provided above) and then go to Menu > Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset. Follow the onscreen instructions and after reboot, attempt to connect to Kies Mini.
The Media Scan process could produce a loop if connected while in progress. If this occurs, disconnect and power cycle the device. Wait until the device fully boots and the process is finished before connecting again.
When the handset goes into download mode instructed by Kies Mini, additional drivers need to be installed. A timeout may occur from the time the drivers install until Kies Mini can detect. Should this occur, close Kies Mini and remove the cable. Next, remove the battery cover and battery. Afterwards, insert the battery, place the cover back on, and power on the device. When the device reboots, connect the data cable and open Kies Mini.

With regard to the rainbow bug, if I recall correctly the ROM's don't have that issue, so you may want to explore Cyanogenmod or Beanstalk (et cetera). I found CM 10.1 useful* (albeit with a few minor bugs), although it seems everyone has moved on to KitKat.
Just a thought. Gingerbread is a bit long in the tooth these days, but you may be set on sticking with stock for a while. (For the record, there is nothing wrong with the OS itself, it's that the app selection is starting to narrow.)
Good luck!
* I tried CM 10.2. I'm not sure if it was my phone (Rogers), or a bad download, but I could not finish the install and CWM was so borked I had to Odin back to stock and start over. I thus gave up on trying anything newer.
go up too CarbonRom latest nightly 4.4.2 KitKat https://carbonrom.org/downloads/?device=infuse4g&type=nightly its almost perfect

I don't think so that the problem is the PIT file. Because it fails after SetupConnection. Are you sure you are you using the original usb cable. You can try with other usb cables to confirm it.

Suggested ODIN version for GT-N7000 is 1.85 (as I linked it). Could also be related to a wrong version of ODIN.

Remove your bettery and leave it for 5 minutes. Then go again to download mode and flash with odin. Also you can try defferent usb ports and ensure that you don't use a usb hub! Finally nesure that you are running odin as admin.

Now you have to check that the file you have downloaded is correct. Maybe you can check the md5 checksum or something. Or simply redownload it. Which step fixed your issue?

Changing USB port I think, maybe in conjunction with new cable because I've tried changing ports before. Also made sure I started in admin. Odin checks the md5 checksum automatically but I'm downloading it again. Got the stock firmware off sammobile.com . Using the UK Orange version - XXLT9. I think that is the right one from memory. Can't check build setting because I'm stuck in bootloop. Pain.
EDIT:
Damn. Just tried again with ODIN 1.85 and it gets stuck on setup connection again. Same with v3.09.

Have you already try to flash .pit file. I recomend you don't because if odin fail to flash it your phone will f*** up. So this is your last resort. You can try different roms. You can try to use heimdall for windows to flash your firmware. Heimdall is more reliable

[Q] Help, I softbricked my device

Hi
I downloaded the UK (live in Denmark) H3G version (same firmware number as my old one), added it in Odin (newest version) and flashed.
Just before finishing up, it failed. Waited 10-20 minutes and nothing happened (cause it told me to not turn off the device or unplug).
But well nothing happened, so I unplugged and restarted phone.
Now it's at a blue screen saying: "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software."
I then tried that, but it says my device is unsupported.
Do anyone have any idea what to do?
Thanks in advance

Can you boot into download mode? press power on, volume down and home button. Then you download Samsung Kies 3 and go to "firmware upgrade and initialization", type model name "SM-G920F", then write your serial number which you can find on a sticker on back of your phone. If you can't boot into download mode its impossible to recover your phone.

Tried with Kies. It said my device is not supported and I should use Smart Switch. But was still able to continue with Kies. An error occured and Kies closed.
I then continued with Smart Switch and tried to do the same and this occured. Image not working when putting it in, so here the link is. http://prntscr.com/6vy161
I'm able to enter download mode, yes.

So you got to this screen and then when you plugged USB cable in it says "device is not supported"?
Also make sure you have Kies 3.0 and not earlier versions. My phone also got softbricked but you may have messed it up way more than me. Then your only option left is to flash stock rom with Odin 3.10.6, you will have to find right CSC version for your country from sammobile.com (15 kb/s download speed) or download faster with Kies client (it will save it to C:\Users\AppData\Local\Temp)

Just do what is wrote in the thread.
It worked just fine for me, after the restart on my PC, but I think it was because my network connection was going on and off, so it couldn't download the file.
I used Kies, but I think Smart Switch works just fine too.
Remember to use Kies 3.0 and put your phone into download mode.
a quick way to fix this is to flash twrp with odin...

Hi sorry to bother you but I have the same problem only mine happened when i tried to root my phone and failed, so I am now on the same blue screen as the other guy. I went onto Kies and did everything and it was working fine until it told me to put my phone into recovery mode, which I assume is download mode, and then it says start upgrade, but the box where it says this is gray and I cannot click on it. Any idea on what I can do?
ALL,
i have the same issue., i had a stock firmware and wanted another sotck firmware on the phone
the original firmware from sammobile failed via odin
i went through the smart switch pc software and it also failed near the end.
what can i do to fix the issue please.? need urgent help.
Somoeone earlier mentioned to install TWRP via odin to fix the issue, is this correct? will this trip knox when installed TWRP?
PLEASE ADVISE.
Yes it will... download the newest firmware in sammobile of your model (doesnt metter the country) and flash. Or post here the logs of odin of failing flash

Im trying to download this version of the firmware G920FXXU1AOCV_G920FTEF1AO.zip but the download fails before it can download onto my computer for use in odin, how do i make the download work?
i have a solution my friend . just extract your firmware with win rar and copy recovery.img to your desktop
there is a tool for making .tar file from .img called tar-Tool .
with tar tool you can make .tar from .img files
convert recovery.img to recovery.tar with this tool
flash it in pda (AP) in odin . now you can go to recovery mode
then wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache
rebooot
have a lot of fun with your phone !

I know that you already fixed your issue, but this is just for those who may run into your same issue again in the future.
I just had this issue, and spent hours trying to figure out what to do. I was reading the app (Smart Switch), and one of the steps it gives you is that you can download Smart Switch to another computer, write down the recovery code that it gives you when you get that error, plug that recovery code in the app on the other computer, and then try the download again. Worked like a charm for me. Even though, I didn't read the app at first, and it took me 3 hours to finally figure it out (duh). So far, my phone is up and running like normal. Maybe that will help someone for next time.
