Is there any good reason to convert these apps to system?????????????????????????????
Factory reset will reset DATA (user apps) but not SYSTEM. The only way is to install TWRP, delete the converted apps via TWRP recovery file manager OR flashing a full stock firmware via ODIN.

Flash TWRP via ODIN. Start TWRP and select "advanced" --> "file manager" . Navigate to your system apps folder and delete the converted apps. Then perform a factory reset again
Here are the firmware files for your phone. Official release is Android 4.0.4. Just flash the downloaded file via ODIN. You need to pick the right "region" for your phone.

How to start TWRP ?
after installing via Odin, TWRP doesn't start !!

G930F - flashed wrong recovery. Have I got any chances?

Hi guys,
I have flashed SD recovery over Exynos (idiot - I know!)
Have I got any chances to recover the device?
I have got g930f.
Bootloops at Samsung Galaxy S7 logo.
Will boot to download mode, visible in odin but upon flashing anything it will immediately restart and odin will FAIL.
Anything to revive this brick?
Thanks!

Hi mate
Probably yes....
You could try to reflash the correct recovery first.....
Custom like TWRP
Check here
Or the original one
Check here
Worse case scenario flash a stock rom (odin) Use all 4 files AP, BL, CP and home_csc to try to save your data ( has to be the same as you have in your phone now) or CSC this will give you a clean installation

For whatever reason - donwload mode is somehow corrupted. As soon as I'm starting to flash anything it fails and restarts the phone...

What error do you get in Odin, check the logs.
Did you try flashing from another PC
re install driver
Un install Kies or smart swicth
Different USB cable
What odin version are you using

Nope, I haven't tried different pc/cable as the very same pc was ok to flash wrong recovery 5min earlier...

I can't check it right now ( I'm at work) but it basically gives me fail on red backdrop. Can't remember what it says in the log, but definitely says Success: 0/ fail: 1
Last file I tried to flash was whole system rom. Just before that, I tried to flash TWRP for s7 exynos - the correct one but it failed. And, of course, it all started with flashing incorrect twrp which went through perfectly :/
Thanks

When you get home, just try installing "Samsung Smart Switch" (it's no longer Kies) (http://www.samsung.com/sg/support/smartswitch/Smart_Switch_pc_setup.zip)
I understand that you already have drivers on your PC, but the Samsung Smart Switch might come with some updated drivers for your Samsung S7, which might change the scenario. Installing that, plus using another version of Odin (run it as Admin). I used this one just today. (http://dl.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.11.1.zip)
If the flashing the recovery still fails, try flashing Stock rom under AP like suggested earlier. If that still fails.
Use Samsung Smart Switch's "Emergency recovery" but do the Initialization (2nd tab) by inputting your Phone model and let Smart Switch download the official firmware from Samsung's servers.
This must be done while your phone is in Download mode, so make sure you have enough juice to wait out the download process.
Good luck!

[Help] Galaxy Tab 2 P3100 randonly rebooting. Can't flash roms or factory reset.

Hi,
I'm having hard times trying to fix my tablet. Here are the specs:
Model: GT-P3100
Android: 4.2.2
Kernel: 3.0.31-CM
Cyanogenmod v.: 10.1.2-p3100
Recovery: 6.0.1.0
OEM Data Cable
The problem is: The tablet is randomly restarting. So I've tried to flash some roms (Cyanogen12, 13, STOCK Rom) via External SD Card. None of them worked. (Installation aborted, no error messages). Whenever I uninstall any app using the Android App Manager, it uninstalls but then installs again after a few seconds. I already did factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, .. and even wipe /system, /sd, .. partition didn't work. It always boots on Cyanogen with the same apps installed. Inside the '0' folder there are other folders just like an infinite loop(the same folders I have in the root folder, I have inside the '0' folder, and inside that folder, another '0' folder containing the same files.
Then I did install TWRP using Odin, the device was recognized and the PASS message appeared sucessfully. After the reboot, CWM was still installed and I couldn't load the TWRP Recovery.
Whenever I try to use Kies, a connecting message appears but never ends.
Can anybody help?
my beloved friend,
in odin options remove the Auto reboot option
then flash the twrp
( the device wont reboot)
when it goes PASS
remove the battery and put it back
press the buttons to go to twrp

Still got CWM installed...
It seems my SD is somehow write-protected. I've tried to do a "NAND erase all" but it fails after the "erase..." message.
When I connect the tablet to my Notebook, I can delete/write files. in the Internal Storage. Very weird

Yes, I'm rooted. Sadly, the tablet reboots whenever I try to install an Application (Via Playstore or Apk).
I already did try installing TWRP using ADB Shell(direcly inside the mmc block) but CWM keeps being the recovery.

Mate, pit may kill your device or mess up the phone it it was lucky to boot.
To let you know, nand erase will require you to load the firmware
Please don't do an erase, lucky that your phone booted, please uncheck repartition
And band erase
You said you are having problem installing apps,
When did this happen?
After flashing pit?

No, it was included in the initial problem(random reboots), that's why I'm trying to recovery the Tab. This is my uncle's tablet, he said he didn't do anything unusual lately. The cyanogen mod was installed by a technician, a long time ago.
I'm 99% sure it's EMMC problem related, as -Hope- told me via Discord.
For more information, see: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/general/discussion-alternative-tab-2-emmc-bug-t3306862
I would like to thanks -Hope- for all the efforts trying to revive my Tablet . I said before and I'll say again, you are a GREAT person!! Really thanks buddy!

Bootloop in my S8 Plus, where to download Stock Firmware?

Hi,
I have S8 Plus SM-G955F in Germany.
Dont knwo what exactly happend, but my phone was just still running fine (bootloader is unlocked) and I rebooted but then was stuck at "Installing system updates" screen which appear before getting into recovery. However, it does not enter into recovery and reboots after few seconds into "installing updates" mode which then fails.
It does not boot up into Android.
All I can access to is Download Mode.
I flashed "BL_G955FXXU1AQF7_CL11544126_QB13847503_REV00_user_low_ship.tar" Bootloader and rebooted and now it is stuck in Samsung boot logo. If I press Vol up + Bixpy Button + Power nothing happends, it does not even start to load Recovery mode.
I now downloaded following stock firmware through SamFirm: "SM-G955F_1_20171214140840_hlcm4r582t_fac.zip.enc4" (3332 MB)
but when trying to flash it in odin I get FAILED !!! Also if I try to flash TWRP recovery "twrp-3.1.0-1-dream2lte.img" I get FAILED in Odin I now also tried to flash "AP_G955FXXU1AQH3_CL12050265_QB14545623_REV00" firmware using this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y0ZZxcNVnE which also FAILED. I think I am completely bricked !!
Please help, phone is completeley useless now

I had the same problem with downloading stock firmware. My problem was that I couldn't download from SamMobile because of server maintenance. So I downloaded from here. An with this tool there's the option to decrypt the file automatically. I forgot to tick this option and had a .enc4-file like you have there. The problem could decrypt this file and then I could unzip it and use it with odin.
So that's your problem: you are trying to use an encrypted file. But you have to use an decrypted file.

Hi,

Usual behaviour was this: Vol up, bixpy and Power -> Recovery mode which fist starts with "Installing update..." then failed and then it goes into some black recovery mode where you can choose Apply update.zip etc. right? However, in my case this black screen with more commands did not show up, before it was rebooting again by itself.
Now I cannot even get into this "installing updates" mode before recovery, because "Vol up, bixpy and Power" does not bring any action.
Vol down, Bixpy and Power still works and brings me to Download Mode. But it doesnt help me, because once I tr to flash any firmware in Download Mode, it FAILS in Odin, so I am completely stuck, hope you understand

Download mode is the only mode you need for restoring stock firmware.
Try this guide. (Spoiler "Flashing Standard Firmware:")
Yesterday I did it with this one too and it worked flawlessly. But I used Odin v3.12.3 not as said in the guide V3.12.7.

it automatically loaded into recovery before, I was not able to boot into Android, it loaded recovery (but without black screen with more commands) automatically by default and rebooted, loaded recovery again and rebooted, loaded recovery againd and rebooted etc...all I could to to interrupt this was loading download mode.
However, thanks for the link, but it does describe what I did already. And yes, I also used Odin 3.12.3 already because in the video tutorial I linked some posts before they said also, I need to use that version.
However, it simply does not work. Odin FAILS everytime
I am not doing anything wrong, I am sure. The only thing could be that the Firmware I downloaded is still wrong, even I cannot imagine this.

Yes that's the only thing that comes on my mind too if you think everything else is right. Download another firmware file maybe from a different provider than SamMobile.
Or try using different USB-Port, USB-Cable and/or different PC.

Did already, did not help. I think maybe there is something realldy bricked, so flashing stock firmware wont be possible at all anymore?! Is this possible somehow?
btw: Just managed to load into TWRP, randomly it does load twrp, dont know how, because if I press the keys for loading into recovery, it actually does not do anything, but currently I see twrp.
Is see anything I can try from there? btw: formated data (incl. internal storage) earlier already, but it did not change anything.
But any idea what I can try to flash from TWRP maybe? Is there a way to flash stock firmware from TWRP somehow?
I found a backup in twrp, I am currently trying to restore it...

Google found this. But I don't know if this works. I only flashed custom ROMs via TWRP. Stock ROMs always via Odin.

My mistake, sorry - I posted in the wrong place- sorry. (I do hope you find a way to get t his fixed) good luck
I just ran into this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/stuck-bootloop-flashing-aqg5-fix-t3636857
It looks like you're not the only one...
You know, you might want to try and remove the more current apps you installed and see if that is causing the loop, and if that does not work, just dirty flash over what you have. For me, a lot of time a dirty flash will solve the issue, as it overwrites the OEM software, and in that manner, takes my phone OS back to normal/new state, while leaving my data.
