I wanted to upgrade my N8010 from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2. What I did:
- downloaded this file N8000XXUDNE6_N8000ODDDNE4_N8000DDUCNE2_HOME.tar.md5 (it's rom for N8000 - my BIG MISTAKE)
- put tablet to downloading mode (power + volume down button)
- I remember that PRODUCT NAME was GT-N8010
- flashed the file via ODIN 3.07
After flash the device reseted itself and shows only "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" and nothing else. When I reset device, still the same. When I push home + vol down button I see the same message and in the left conner is:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-N8000
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
AP SWREV: A2
I tried to flash different roms via ODIN with the same FAIL message. Again and again. I'm desperated, please help me!
I had it too, but nothing helped because of the bootloader. I had to bring it for a repair, luckily it fell under warranty eventhough I had rooted it. They did it in 7 days.
But you can always try something. There are a few threads on sammobile forums on how to do it, it might help.

Gents,
Newbie here (apologies). I have a sm-p900 wifi. I tried to root (odin 3.09 and CF-Auto root) and ended up with a brick. Now tab will only display error message: " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". Will not turn off (hold pwr button turns off and then turns back on).
Tried these resets:
pwr + up/down+home (says "warning a custom os can cause critical problems.......). options r up/down both lead back to error above
pwr + up = same
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've seen that before. The tablet behaves that way after a failed attempt to root.
I'd go through the cf autoroot thread again and look for stock recovery, get back into download mode and reflash stock recovery, reboot into recovery with the tablet disconnected and then reboot the device. It should then boot fully into stock unrooted state, after which you can try to root again by following the cf autoroot thread directions. If root attempts continue to fail I'd redownload all root packages and retry.

I was in your shoes (exactly) a couple of days ago. What finally helped to unbrick the device was Kies3.
Go to Tools, then Firmware Upgrade and Initialization, enter Model name(SM-P900), then S/N(on the back of the tablet).
Follow the rest of the instructions, agree to everything, and after a long while you will be unbricked and upgraded to the latest Samsung's kernel version. Good Luck!
Can we try again to root the device with this kernel installed? Does someone know?
I straight up love your ass!

I bricked mine as well. This worked. I WOULD kiss you, but it's not possible through the internet.
Seriously, Thank you very much. You are a life saver.
Hi all,
the last flashing process was a while back. I must have been a little rusty... Anyway, I today tried to install the 6.0.1 compatible TWRP Recovery on my Galaxy S6 920F and made several mistakes in the process using Odin 3.10.7 on my Windows PC (flashed a wrong file in AP, it was an .img and not a tar.md5). Now I'm still in the Download Mode and can't exit it at all. I tried the Home Button + Vol Up + Vol Down like 1000 times, but it still won't work. It really seems to be stuck. Odin finds the device, but when I try to re-flash the recovery the right way (at least I hope it is), it tries to establish a connection before flashing and after that it's stuck, too.
On my device the last lines are: B:2 K:2 S:2
What can I do? Is there a way to bring this device back to life? Thanks in advance for any help! :highfive:
For some reason after more than an hour it finally worked. But I pressed POWER + Vol Up + Vol Down? Is that right? Doesn't matter, it worked.
It's all the buttons combo to exit download mode. You forgot home button.

(IMPORTANT) Do not let it boot up til it says drk fail, hold down the vol down, power, and home button to get back into the Download mode.
Flash PhilZ recovery using Odin 10.7. arter97 . com /browse/exynos7420/recovery/twrp/g925fi/
Once it's done, hold vol up, power, and home button to get back into the Recovery mode immediately.
I'd personally do a wipe to make sure nothing goes wrong, then backup the EFS and other partitions while I'm at it.
Then choose Reboot to go back into the Download mode.
Now flash CF-Auto-Roots using the attached Odin. forum.xda-developers . com /galaxy-s6/orig-development/cf-auto-root-t3056630
Let it do the installation on the phone. It will reboot a few times I think, and hopefully when it says Pass, the LED indicator starts glowing. Then it should be all good.

The last time you posted your problem same as this https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/help-device-drk-please-install-drk-t3321212
You forgot to read it and there is no reason to reopening same issue post!
The solution worked for many ppl that confirmed it working!
Hi guys,
I just bought a S6 Edge (SM-G925i) via eBay. I now know why it was that cheap, it does not do a lot
What does work is getting into DOWNLOAD MODE.
In the download mode I get the following information:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G925I
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
Secure Download: Enabled
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x0500)
AP SWAEV: 8 : 3 K : 2 S : 2
I downloaded the official G925IDVU3FQD1_G925IXSA3FQC3_G925IDVU3FQC5_HOME.tar.md5 from Sammobile and installed it with ODIN (selected AP and process run to 100%).
But after this my phone keeps rebooting with the "Samsung Galaxy S6 Powered By Android" logo.
I cannot get into RECOVERY MODE (VOLUME UP + HOME).
I tried to install TWRP. It seems to install but after that I am again stuck in the "Samsung Galaxy S6 Powered By Android" logo.
Is it dead or are there things I can try?

Hi !
You should also try to restore the phone with Samsung official tool : Smart Switch
http://www.samsung.com/fr/support/smartswitch/

You cannot use Smart Switch when you only have DOWNLOAD MODE available.
Hi there,
This also happened to me today, I was just normally using the phone (internet and stuff) and suddenly went to reboot and got stuck to logo.
I tried flashing the stock rom, but no luck. Reboots and back to samsung logo. (or download mode, not even recovery is working).

Eish okay
I just gave up and took it to some service store to see what happened.
I'll ask him what happened and how he worked it out and let you know.
thanks alot waiting for your advice
same here
You said you tried to go to recovery by pressing vol up and home, you forgot the power button.
It's : power + up+ home. Try again.
And if not working, and only download mode available, use Odin and flash the software for your phone. Download the files from samobile (btw it will slow download , really slow)
We all tried flashing stock roms, as we said before. This is not the problem.
The problem is the DRK (device root key). It's all messed up.
This is beyond my phone skillz.
If you want you can try this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/how-to-repair-device-root-key-drk-sm-t3297383
I just took it to a phone repair store and he told me that the DRK is messed up and some other things.
