Calm down.............
1 - Are you saying it is from China or had the China 4.0.4 ROM installed?
2 - Why do you want Nordic Rom. 4.1.2 ?
3 - Can you change the language in the "Chinese software" Because there is a Chinese 4.1.2 firmware that you maybe able to install and change it to english.

I dont want the chinese rom as i have no interest in QQ, its horribly written services, or government spyware.
i am about to head back to the states and would like access to my google services(which are not installed in the chinese rom)
i buy alot of electronics over here for use at home as some things just aren't available back home(unlocked devices)
i have used this same pc to flash on my P7500, GS2, and even was able to use odin to root earlier(which i haev undone)
i killed kies and all its services
still cant flash a different countries firmware, or at least the one i have, so i am downloading a different one.
the device has been able to update via kies, register, etc
i know the usb is a direct solder to my motherboard, not a daughter board, i have tried 2 ports
its the cable that was in the box(all accessories appear to be genuine), i have also tried my P7500 cable, and my spare charging cable...nothing is working
would i have better luck with mobile odin?
any help...im measuring my departure time in hours at this point

[Q] Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 (Soft Brick) (Complete (Write)/NAND Write Odin Error)

So I was previously running the MF3 baseband on my SGH-I337 (ATT) and couldn't install any custom ROMs until I tried safestrap. I installed the Google Play Edition ROM and it worked successfully, except the WiFi wouldn't turn on. I could have flashed modem files but I was advised multiple times not to do so. Anyways, I was removing the ROM through safestrap and accidentally wiped my system and all its files I think. Now my phone is stuck in a bootloop (constant Samsung logo) and I can't recover with ODIN because I get an error (shown below). Also, I could only find a TAR file which ends with either MK2 or MDL, my phone was previously MF3, could this be the cause of any problem? Any fixes?
Additional Info:
1) I cannot boot into stock recovery, I'm always forced into download mode.
2) ODIN gives the error everytime I try to flash the stock ROM that I downloaded.
3) I've tried flashing the 16GB PIT file with little luck, the operation finished successfully but I'm still not able to flash anything else because:

I'm quite new to all of this, any help is greatly appreciated. Sorry if I'm leaving out information, just ask if needs be.:laugh:

My i337 is doing the same thing, except I started on mk2. I see tons of folks asking about complete write fail on google, so I know this is a bigger issue that hasn't been identified yet...but when I get this POS working, I am selling it and NEVER buying anything with a locked bootloader (or the AT&T logo) again. I wish I had researched better and chosen a tmobile S4 to use on at&t.

I got the exact same error like you do in Odin with flashing a new PDA / Recovery. Cannot get rid of error messages, status 7, fail in odin and so on, but my phone isnt in boot loop like yours..

[Q] OTA 4.4.2 update failed, Samsung Experience no help, Please help me

I did the verizon pushed update to 4.4.2 today on my SCH I535 S3 which was totally stock with encryption. After the install finished "upgrading apps" it then did a re-boot and asked for my encrypt pin then showed the outline Andy. Then after a couple of vibrations it re-boot again and will continue this cycle until battery is removed. After sitting on the phone for several hours and conversing with Samsung and Verizon they pointed me to Samsung Experience in a Best Buy and if that doesn't work I have to send it to Samsung for re-flash. They said they couldn't get their software to recognize my phone. The guy there recommended using odin to download a stock rom.
I have downloaded odin 3.07 and have downloaded a 4.3 stock rom. I set up odin with auto reboot and F. reset time checked and nothing else. I select the .tar.md5 in the bootloader and here is my odin output:

I believe since u pushed the 4.4.2 ne1 update u need to Odin the 4.4.2 ne1 tar file, not the 4.3 file

Thanks so much! I tried the 4.4.2 tar file and... it worked. I thought that since the 4.4.2 update is what failed I'd have to go back to the 4.3 but that was clearly flawed thinking on my part. I can't believe that it worked and best of all everything is still there! I still have all my apps and data, as if nothing at all happened.
Thanks so much for your suggestion!

No I didn't get the 4.3 working. I did get the 4.4.2 working though. I am not sure how exactly you'd revert back to an older version, Sorry.

Galaxy S3 SCH-I535- Stuck In Odin Mode After Trying To Downgrade To 4.3

Screwed up, need some help. (4.4.2 to 4.3 attempt gone bad)
Hello everyone out there! Long time lurker, first time poster.
So I've had what seems to be a soft brick on my verizon s3 (SCH-I535) and it is time to just lay it out here because (as always) I can't find the fix to MY problem (so selfish I know )
So let's start at the very beginning..
I have had my s3 for awhile now and I ended up rooting the phone to stay on 4.3. The biggest reason for this was to keep FoxFi working (I have no internet where I live and tethering is the only option). Once FoxFi was working for 4.4 I decided to go ahead and update but first I had to unroot which wasn't a big deal. I unrooted and voila! I was on 4.4.2!
Okay so I just tried ThePagel's methosd
When I upgraded, I noticed my FoxFi was VERY slow all of a sudden and being a gamer, I didn't like this one bit! So I thought to myself "Hey, just flash back to your 4.3 file."... as I hear all of your collective heads shaking in disappointment, followed by facepalms, I now see the error of my ways.. Attempting to flash back to 4.3 of course hung my phone up in Odin (It was stuck at SetupConnect I believe) and this led to my soft brick. Bummer...
So what have I attempted? Well I kept seeing this thread pop up, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586319 but it's talking about the OTA for 4.3.... I was 4.4.2. I also attempted to fix the issue via this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 and alas, it fails me as well.
Now as far as errors for these trails, let's get down to what I see on my phone and what I see on odin..
When trying the Hero's method, Odin fails with this log:
<ID:0/003> Added!!

Right now I am downloading the file needed in ThePagel's fix but it is VERY slow (only dial up and satellite internet I **** you not, out here). When that gets done I will come back here and post the same logs for both the phone and ODIN should it not work.
I see there are a lot of fixes out there for various things but the problem is, I don't know exactly what is wrong with my phone. Of course if I try to turn it on normally I get the yellow triangle so the fact it turns on means it is a soft brick. I have also read a lot of threads talking about custom recovery but I don't know how this works. Does custom recovery get me back into recovery mode? Or is this only for when your phone is rooted. Anyway, I'd love to pick some brains on this matter and maybe someone sees something in the errors that I do not.
I apologize for my ignorance... all I wanted to do was go back to 4.3 and root it to stay there.. if this can not be done and I am forced to stay with 4.4.2, I will do so.. but any advice for either would be a great welcomed sight. Send links to threads and what have you if you don't want to type, other than to call me an idiot, I deserve it for not reading and understanding everything fully before attempting this flash.
Okay I just tried ThePagel's method and this is what I get:

****UPDATE****
I was able to find a stock, no frills 4.4.2 kitkat and I flashed that. My phone is back working again. Is there a way to delete this thread?

I don't believe there is any way to delete the thread without getting a forum moderator to do so.
Personally I would recommend against deleting it. Better would be using it as a teaching example for others who find themselves in the same predicament, especially since you added how you fixed the issue. It may also help some from making the same error.

Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 GT-N8020 'Downloading... Do not turn off target!!'

HI there.
I have had the GT-N8020 for around two years on contract with a major provider here in Australia.
My wife used it mostly over that time. Myself, I only realised how great a piece of hardware that it is only in the last couple of months since she now has an S5. I have claimed it daily, lighter than my laptop.
It is out of warranty. Samsung has organised a courier to pick it up, I just have to ring courier.
I asked for a costing as it is out of warranty. No reply on that. We will fix it. I have no doubt in that. But at what cost? The lady did not give an answer even after asking a couple of times. That in itself rings alarm bells. Anyway, VOIP, lag and language barriers, very frustrating. I was transferred from my phone provider to Samsung technical support. I did not ring Samsung directly.
I do not wish to send my device away to be fixed if I can fix it myself. I have been wanting to mess with Linux on the device at some point anyway. So here is my opportunity. I am not sure if I can recover my data that is on the tablet which at this point seems impossible.
What have I done so far?......
Researched a bit and ended up here on XDA. Read “Root & Recovery Install Guide” on here.
I a not sure which ODIN N8020 firmware I need, 'touch, ohne touch or stock. The links are dead anyway for my firmware. Could you recommend another location to get usable firmwares.
I installed the USB drivers
Installed Odin3 v1.85 – cycling power I can see my device being added and removed from the log window. All good there
Installed Kies – no version recognises my device
Installed SmartSwitchPC – did not recognise my device
I downloaded SuperSU v2.67
I have left the tablet to go completely flat and turn off. I then plugged in the charger which immediately brings back the Downloading nag screen. Grrrrr.
Will the tablet still charge if left plugged in?
If it cannot charge then sending it away might be my only option.
Are firmwares country specific or can I use any compatible one?
I am hoping it fully charges. When I plug it into the USB port the device will turn off after a few minutes, as it is still low power. Not sure if it can charge via USB. Currently left tablet plugged into charger, tablet is showing the green Android 'Downloading' nag screen.
In ODIN MODE
Product: GT-N8020
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
RP SWREV: A2
Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 white colour. 4G and wifi 16gb.
I am unable to get into recovery mode as there is NO 'Home' button on the note 10.1.
I am pretty sure it had 4.4.2 on it.
Thanks
