Whenever I attempt to flash a Cyanogenmod Rom for P3110 (Using that because I have a P3113) I get a Status 7 Error.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Flash the latest @Android-Andi Philz Touch or TWRP recovery and that should solve the problem (I recommend flashing the recovery with Odin or Heimdall.) Status 7 error usually means outdated recovery.

Well, that may have worked but before I did anything I let it charge, this is the message I got though: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
How should I go about this? I cannot do anything in Kies because the P3113 won't turn on. Whenever I plug it in to the PC if makes the sound of connecting, then disconnecting over and over again.

What exactly did you do that it did this? Did you attempt to flash the recovery in Odin or Heimdall? If Odin, which version?

Since the Cyanogenmod Rom failed flashing I tried to flash the stock firmware using Odin v.1.83 (Odin v3.09 and v3.07 wouldn't open) in order to get a Rom, then I tried to re-root it using v1.83, but it died when I was trying to. So, I decided to charge it and that's what happened. At least that's what I remember. My USB connector works but doesn't charge when connected to the PC, that's why it died. Other than that I do not believe anything else was done to it.

OK, that makes more sense. If your device died during installation that will happen. If I use Odin, I usually use v1.85, but I have found Heimdall to be more stable and consistent. Can you boot into download mode?
Edit: also, what version of windows are you running?

There have been known problem using Odin on Windows 8, but I've done it multiple times. (I had kies installed if it makes any difference)
Anyway, do you have a Linux computer laying around somewhere? Depending on what happened during I installation, one can be used to maybe trip the device into a bootloop and then from there you can boot into recovery and flash a ROM. (I had to do this with my S2 after a power glitch while using Odin.) Odin isn't needed to root the tab. All you have to do us use Odin or Heimdall to flash a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and then flash SuperSU.zip in recovery.

Not necessarily but it was just what I used and what worked. Does Odin detect the device on the firmware upgrade encountered an error screen?

Odin does detect the device. So you SHOULD be able to go to www.samfirmware.com , click on "Firmware Database" and select the options in the drop down boxes for your tablet. Download the zip file (you'll need a sammobile account) and then extract the zip file. You should have a tar.md5 or a tar file that you can flash in Odin. Make sure your tab is charged and you run Odin as admin. After you flash that, reboot into recovery (will be stock recovery) and do a factory reset and wipe cache. Now you should be able to reboot into stock android (with TouchWIZ of course). To root from here, use Odin to flash latest @Android-Andi TWRP recovery and the flash @Chainfire's SuperSU.zip and you'll be rooted!
As always, I am not responsible for what happens to your device. Doing this will raise your flash counter and void your warranty, which is probably void already if you flashed anything before.

That is quite weird. I have done the same thing at least 2 or 3 times. Try going to https://builds.casual-dev.com/jodin3/ Make sure you plug in your device before loading the above page. Your device should be detected when the page loads. In PDA put the latest TWRP tar file. Click start. It will say something like it needs a pit file and will reboot to find it. Click OK. It might fail but thats fine. Unplug your device. It will reboot and should show a bootloop. Now you should be able to reboot into recovery. If not, you might have to JTag but I don't know. For future reference, if a ROM is bootlooping, don't flash stock in Odin. Just do a full wipe and reflash the ROM and that should fix it.

EDIT: if the tab died during installation of an important file, it can ruin the device. www.mobiletechvideos.com does have JTAG service that can be used as a last resort. It costs around 50 US Dollars.

Hey guys! I'm trying to fix a Vodafone Nexus S that's having some serious issues. I'm pretty sure there is something wrong with the SD as in it's fried. I can either boot into Fastboot or Download mode. My computer won't pick up the phone in fastboot though, but it does with odin. I have the USB drivers installed. When I mount the SD to the computer, everytime it says that the sd card must be formatted in order to use it. So, if I do that, not using quick format, and then check to see if it was formatted, it shows everything on the card still. Or, it says Windows unable to perform Format. I just can't access anything like the backup or the ROM to reflash it. I'm hoping that by flashing a stock firmware with odin, I may be able to boot the phone into the OS and then maybe figure out what's wrong with the SD card. Right now, if I try to reboot the phone it just goes back into CWM. But, I can't find a version for the i9023 that will work on Australian Vodafone. I've searched but haven't had any luck. Would someone be able to help me or to point me in the right direction? I'd appreciate it greatly!
Odin is a tool for flashing Samsung firmware on Samsung phones only! Although the nexus s is built by Samsung it does not use Odin for flashing firmware so you will never find anything that will work with Odin.
If you can get into CWM does the card mount ok through that? Goto mounts and storage >> mount USB storage. If that works then you can copy over your CWM flashable ROM and then flash away.
You should be able to flash official firmware using from fastboot mode using ADB too. Im sure there is a guide on here somewhere.

Hi, I'm having and issue with my Galaxy Tab 7.7 (P6810) and don't know what is the problem, so I'm looking for assistance here. (Thanks in advance).
Let me describe my issue(s):
1. A friend went to flash the Tab and apparently used the wrong firmware, in Odin mode shows GT-P7560.
2. I already tried flashing different firmwares but when I use ICS the Tab goes into a bootloop. I can go to download (odin) mode, but can't go to recovery mode (volume up + power).
3. I flashed it with a stock firmware (P6810DTKL5_P6810XSAKL2_XSA) and got it to boot, but is asking for a password it never had.
So I'm thinking there's an issue with the partition or bootloader. Already tried a "p6810-16g.pit" file with no luck
Tried flashing different CWM versions and nothing works. So at this point I'm stuck on this issue.
What can I do to bring back my device to a functional state? Any advice would be appreciated! THANKS A LOT!! :good::laugh:
I'm attaching the images describing the issues.

You don't need a bootloader, it was already "flashed" when he flashed the stock official firmware - bootloader would have been included in that and PIT
If done correctly, the PIT should work, if not - unfortunately, most likely back for repair............ bummer
Without actually checking the above is HC, have you tried the official HoneyComb firmware ? Just don't factory reset in HC recovery
P6810 ICS LPP Bootloader
Here you go............
I have packaged my P6810 ICS LPP bootloader files into an ODIN flashable .tar.mD5 format.
Flashing Instructions :
Extract the Sbl.bin.zip and boot.bin.zips so that you have Sbl.bin.tar.md5 & boot.bin.tar.md5
Ensure you have the latest Samsung USB drivers installed
Disable KIES
Disable KIES process in Task Manager
Run ODIN
Ensure ONLY "auto reboot" and "reset time" are checked
Device in Download mode
Connect device to PC USB port
ODIN - Flash Sbl.bin.tar.md5 in either "bootloader" -or- "PDA" option (choose one only)
Then repeat above same method to flash boot.bin.tar.md5
** After that, try reflash the COMPLETE official stock ICS LPP package with ODIN
Best of luck
UITA

Hi, thanks for your assistance... here's what I just did:
1. I downloaded the bin files you attached and both are appearing as invalid md5 in ODIN, apparently the hash is invalid.
2. I renamed them from .tar.md5 to just .tar and flashed my device with both files as you described.
3. Rebooted twice, went to Download mode again.
4. Flashed with P6810XXLPP_P6810XSALJ2 (stock firmware).
5. Got bootloop again.
6. Re-flashed the "Sbl.bin" & "boot.bin" again, and still got bootloop.
7. Download mode still shows "P7560" as the installed firmware.
Any other advice?
Thanks again! :good:

Very strange, particularly if the flash was successful.....................
Try flashing both the files at once. boot.bin in "bootloader" and SBl.bin in "PDA".
Maybe something else we haven't thought of..
If I think of anything else, will let you know, but try the stock HC firmware too, just in case.

Tried the steps above and still the same.
I had to flash back to the stock HC firmware because the ICS led into an infinite loop, at least HC let me turn off the device.
I'll wait for any other suggestions, thanks!

JTag (riff box) by a 3rd party or Samsung.

I want to flash the latest bootloader and modem to my G920F. But the problem is, that I have no idea for what is this etc. Could someone explain, could I install the bootloader and a modem with a different designation than my rom? For example, I have now COI9, can i flash another modem than with the designation COI9? I someone could, please link to the latest version, thank you!
You dont need to do it... Always stick with the modem and bootloader same as the system... Mixmatching those files can couse battery drain ( radio interference , deep sleep problems ) ... For the time ive used the s6 COI9 was the best modem i ever tested.. So stay with OI9

I've been there with my S6 Edge...only a week ago while I was installing LineageOS.

Why can't you get into recovery? If you can get your phone into download mode, then you can use Odin to install TWRP which will give you access to recovery. You said you had the S6 right, not Edge? You can get TWRP for that version here https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys6.html and then install it with Odin. After that, boot into recovery, and then plug your phone into a computer and transfer your ROM onto the phone and install it. If you aren't able to get that part of it done, then the stock firmware for your S6 may be available for download from https://www.sammobile.com/ and those can be flashed using Odin. If one of those doesn't work, try a different one until you find one that works. Good luck; don't lose hope. I have found my S6 Edge resilient and hard to permanently brick.

If you aren't able to get that part of it done, then the stock firmware for your S6 may be available for download from https://www.sammobile.com/ and those can be flashed using Odin. If one of those doesn't work, try a different one until you find one that works. Good luck; don't lose hope. I have found my S6 Edge resilient and hard to permanently brick.

Ow believe me I have tried this. I tried stock recovery, twrp (different versions), cf root so ik hoped it would flash CWM, different stock roms... Nothing wakes up this phone.
I'm going to try some stuff now. I'll keep you posted!

I've been there with my S6 Edge...only a week ago while I was installing LineageOS. I was feeling pretty hopeless for awhile but installing a custom ROM got my phone to the point where it was usable again. I'm still burning through firmware variations from sammobile in search of a better modem but at least I got it working again. Odin is your friend.

How did you flash that rom when you couldn't get in recovery?

I thought I was done for last week when I flashed a package from Sammobile that my phone didn't like and it resulted in Error message from Odin. After that, download mode showed up as wrecked and said to use Smartswitch to enter emergency recovery mode. I tried a few versions of Smartswitch but they all kept saying my device was unsupported. I went to sleep feeling pretty lousy.
The next day I started fresh and had a few more packages from Sammobile to try. Even with the message about "emergency recovery mode", I was able to install a new Sammobile package using Odin. That replaced modem, system, bootloader, everything the phone needed. Except the phone was stuck in a bootloop and kept restarting every time it go to the "installing android" part of the boot process. At that point I shut the phone down and installed the latest TWRP recovery, booted into recovery, and transferred my ROMs + GApps onto it and then installed them following the ROM's installation instructions. It was pretty hairy for awhile but my persistence paid off and now it works again. Hopefully you get yours working.
What do you mean "nothing wakes up this phone" does it hang at a particular part?

I don't think you can. You need to install TWRP recovery in download mode before you can flash ROMs. Is that what you're having problems with?

Thanks for sticking up with me. We'll, the phone only boots in download mode. I flashed literally everything... From custom recoveries to stock roms, also had the smarts witch notification but smarts switch nor Kies doesn't fix the problem. I tried flashing recoveries, different versions, nothing. What I mean with waking up the phone... Well even after a successful Odin stock firmware flash, the phone doesn't boot by itself. Tried with the auto reboot ticked off but... Yeah... The phone only boots in download mode. But in download mode I see that it says CUSTOM BINARY,.... so... It flashes but... It's not booting. Not even getting a starting up screen that freezes... Nothing...all black... Only download mode. I just now tried converting a custom Rom zip to a tar file... Flashed it... Failed... Blablabla... This s6 is giving me a hard time! now, it' s a phone from a college that actually threw the phone in the garbage... But I retrieved it and I wanted to fix this s6. It's a good phone... It goes in download mode so.... That thought keeps me hopeful!
Again thanks for the support...

okay so, tried a couple more firmwares...they all pass in odin but not booting my phone. also not in recovery. tried flashing twrp and stuff but can't get it to boot! It doesn't hang on a screen. it just doesn't boot. only on download mode I get it to boot. Could this be a hardware problem?? I think not because it boots in download mode. Maybe try to flash bootloaders? Are there other recoveries? CWM, Philz touch?
My S6 only goes into odin/download mode, I have tried multiple times trying to flash the stock rom using different versions of odin and different versions of the stock rom just to be sure. I never rooted the phone but I read that you dont need to be rooted or in debugging mode to use odin. Everytime I have used odin it stops after nand write start. I have tried to root if using cf auto root but that failed as well. I have tried renaming the tar.md5 into just tar and extracting the files (never once found hidden.img though), recompiled them to make new tar files and tried booting them individually but still no luck. I really have no idea what I am doing wrong or why this phone will not flash the stock firmware. Even smart switch wont work, so I cant go into recovery mode to manually wipe the phone. The model number is the G920W8.
Any help or new ideas would be appreciated.
restore stock and take it back to the store. i had the same problem too. new one coming soon.

That's all I've been trying to do. Just restore the stock firmware. My problem is that it won't restore to stock. Neither through Odin or smart switch.
Also my battery does not charge, that was the original problem.

try to flash android 5.1.1. for your phone model if you can get into twrp. do a full phone wipe. and a factory restore. then flash android 5.1.1 thru odin. you should be good to go. if you are still having boot loops let the phone die completely and wait for 10 min to 15 min. you may need to do this few times but i did this and it works for me let my know what happens. ( you might need to stay in download mode until the phone dies)
some times the answer is more simple as expected, try another usb port, or maybe another computer ...

Try to flash a costum rom with twrp
Hi all, using S7 SM-G930F. Just got it yesterday and first thing I wanted to do was flash TWRP so I could put the new Pixel OS onto it.
Used ODIN, got the pass message as usual... phone rebooted automatically into stock OS. I turned it off and tried booting into recovery mode but it gets stuck at the splash screen. Nothing happens, not even stock recovery. I re-flashed TWRP without auto-reboot option this time but the same thing happens.
So essentially I have a phone that works but no recovery mode at all I can't find anyone else with this same problem, please help. I can't get any further without it. Ideally I want to avoid flashing the entire stock image. Thanks
OEM unlocked?
ODIN 3.12.3 or later used?

Yes I did set OEM unlocked.
Ahhh, I am using ODIN 3.10.6!! Thanks, let me try 3.12 and get back to you if there's a problem. Thank you very much.

I'm afraid it hasn't worked. Exactly the same thing, just stuck on splash screen until I reboot into OS.
Double checked, OEM Unlock is definitely enabled.
Id flash stock again to fix recovery, then try TWRP with ODIN 3.12.3

Do you mean flash the entire stock firmware or just stock recovery? I'm attempting to extract stock recovery from firmware now... but if I have to flash the whole firmware then I guess I have to.
Just flash full stock, you won't lose anything unless you flash CSC which resets the phone after the flash
But you do know you have to wipe your phone to get TWRP installed correctly right?

Nope. I didn't know. No guide I used ever states that anywhere (I'm a CWM person also, first time using TWRP).
Sounds strange to me.. How do you root your phone using TWRP then if you have to wipe it first?
Can I even use CWM for S7? Didn't think so as there are no guides for it.
Not worried about losing anything as only got the phone yesterday but really worried about the stock firmware flash not working the same way TWRP doesn't, that's why I wanted to avoid it if possible, I'll give it a go. Thanks

You don't have to use TWRP to root, if you're not bothered about having custom recovery you can just flash CF-Auto Root using ODIN, that will root without the need for TWRP
Reason you have to wipe with TWRP is because of encryption the phone is using - reading the TWRP thread would be a good plan before blindly flashing stuff
Don't worry about flashing stock, I have the same G930F, flashed stock a couple times using ODIN, no issues

I followed http://galaxys7root.com/galaxy-s7-s7-edge-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s7-s7-edge/3/
They never mentioned anything.
I just flashed stock firmware and now I can't do anything, no recovery, no download, no OS. Bootloop no matter what...
http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS7/6.0.1/SM-G930F/UnitedKingdom
This is what I used...
Kept trying and eventually got back into download mode (it was really hard)...
I am still lost on what to do now though.

Follow XDA guides, not random sites
OK, considering the phone is pretty much empty and new, just flash all 4 ROM parts with ODIN
AP, BL, CP and CSC, factory reset the phone and start again from scratch
This time read the TWRP thread, or the CF Auto root thread here on XDA before doing anything at all

Thanks! Boots now. Shame I only really found this place's guides after the one I used failed, starting again now
Did you unlock your bootloader? That is way flashing twrp works but would not boot twrp
I know the problem. Make sure "reboot automatically" is DISABLED in Odin when flashing TWRP. If you do not it will fail. I know from experience. Im assuming you already know to habe OEM unlocked etc etc
