I just installed the cyanogen 10 mod to my blaze and tried it. i went to this file manager that told me to reroot my phone so that I may be able to use it better. I went to odin to reroot it again but i accidentally used the original blaze.pit file on it and when it rebooted it showed me the original samsung starter instead of the cyanogen mod starter. That wasn't the problem, the problem was it never went in to the phones home screen or apps. Instead it continues to show the samsung logo and the flying android over and over again. I tried using the SGH-T769-hitsquad tar file to fix it (i need to mention that i bricked it once before and used this tar file to fix it) but it keeps taking me to the samsung logo. I can't even try to factory restore it because it just starts acting strange when I go to the menu. I can still go into download mode, i've gone searching for a file or anything to help me fix it but i can't find anything. Please, any suggestions?!
Here's a link to stock Tmo Blaze tar's from GB to ICS. ICS is the UVLH5 file. I suggest download that one.. then flash that file through odin.. dont include a Blaze pit file. just PDA file which is the one you'll download.
EDIT:
They're the ones ontop of the page that says Firmwares for SGH-T769 - USA (T-Mobile)
Let me know if it works for you.

Yeah, all you need is to reflash cwm through odin or if you still have cwm just flash a superuser or supersu zip.

Which superuser.zip should i use?
This thread should help you.
Just use that superuser.zip file, unless you want SuperSU, which I think it's better,

Would anybody be able to provide any insight on how i could fix my s3 that appears to be stuck on boot? i received my warranty fixed device from samsung today and upon rerooting it, i forgot to unlock the bootloader i then went to the "Verizon has detected unauthorized software" screen. After which, I followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 hoping to get back to stock. But after following these directions, the phone boots to a Samsung custom (Unlocked) screen and then it goes to the galaxy s3 boot screen and remains there, if anybody could provide any assistance, that would be awesome. I'd just hate to get laughed at if i bring it into a verizon store. thanks and happy holidays.

Are you 100% sure you was on MF1 and Verizon did not ship it to you with 4.3.
If you was on MF1 Odin should flash fine and resolve any issues. If you was on 4.3 than you have issues if you ran Odin

1000% sure that it was 4.1.2 and MF1 because it was trying to push an OTA update that i kept canceling. should i attempt reflashing through odin again? and if so could you link me to something specifically i should flash and possibly some instructions because ive been without a phone for 2 weeks and wouldnt like to wait til october for another one....

If it was fixed or replaced by Samsung they usually update to newest software before returning it. If it was on 4.3 and you tried to unlock it is now bricked beyond our ability to repair at this time.Can't unlock, flash custom recovery or downgrade to 4.1.2 or lower or it will brick. If was on 4.1.2 just need to Odin stock tar.If it hangs then a Factory reset in stock recovery will usually fix it. Need more info on what build you were actually on when started.

Remove .tar from zip and flash in Odin. If was on MF! it should fix with no more than a factory reset in stock recovery. Then run Beans casual to reroot and unlock.

Yes. It is common for it to reboot but bootloop. Pull battery and then boot into stock recovery and factory reset. Then it should boot.
So I recently bricked my tab3 and I could not figure out anything or find anything to do the unbrick in ODIN. I thought that I would share what I found so it can be easily located for a user in the future.
This is going to restore your tablet back to STOCK 4.2.2. This is the most recent version provided by samsung.

I followed the steps to a "T" and after I flashed my Tab 3, 10.1 nothing seem to be changed.
I have a working tablet but nothing was changed to factory default.
All that I had checked was the Auto Reboot & Reset Time option.
I will re-flash this rom via Odin, Again...
Should I had checked the Re-Partition Option?

I problem was not getting the correct TWRP 2.7 installed so that I could flash a rom.
I was able to use TWRP 2.6.1 that still remained even after I Odin the stock rom twice, to flash Super User but I could not flash a larger zip like the Crash Rom or Infamous Rom on this tablet.

Hi all,
So I've decided to root my Exynos International Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900) using Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root. Problem is, Odin gets stuck at cache.img, then fails after a couple of minutes. Phone then displays BSOD whenever I try to boot. I can access download mode again, but not recovery. My phone is stock 4.2.2.
It's the first time I have such a problem, I flashed a couple of phones before without any trouble. I searched XDA for a solution and tried other Odin versions, different cable/ports, even tried on another computer, still doesn't work.
My first concern is not to lose any data as I didn't back anything up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to ask about any missing info.
Thanks!
I see. It didn't say on the XDA thread it was only for Lollipop, but I checked in CF's website and you're right. I've wanted to update to LL ages ago but I didn't get it through OTA. The only LL release that's available for SM-N900 in SamMobile is Russian :/ I don't know if I should flash that one...
Would it be safe to flash back my stock 4.2.2 to at least get my phone back working? Or would the Russian release work for me (assuming it has language choice)?
Also, once I choose which ROM to use, would I loose my data when I flash it? I assume it is flashed the same way than root.
Thanks!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I assume you've seen this,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423. In regards to flashing a Rom you should always clear data, dalvic cache and cache before flashing. That will erase data so backup first. You should look into titanium backup on the play store.

Yes, that is the thread I've used to flash the root. Now I have a BSOD phone and need to fix it without losing data :/ I didn't back up so I guess flashing ROM is out of the question. Any suggestions ?

You're not going to like it, but you need to flash the stock firmware in Odin and lose your data. It's the only way to get your device working again.

I'm surprised. Can you at least explain why the root didn't work? I did everything as stated in the tutorial. I didn't expect a simple root operation would result in me losing everything on my phone; some data I cannot afford to lose.
Also, the phone says that using Kies in recovery mode is what should be done. Kies doesn't recognize the phone as needing repair. Any info?
Thanks !

Sorry, but live and learn. Always backup before doing any thing new on your phone. Especially rooting and flashing roms as they sometimes go wrong and rooting bypasses some of the safe guards the manufacture builds into the phone to avoid problems. Kies is crap. Learn to use Odin, if your rooting and roming you'll need it sooner or later. And you're at the sooner stage.
Edit, I'd really try asking your question here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help. I'm not sure on your device if you can go back to nb1, 4.4.4, firmware. I'm assuming there is no 5.x firmware for your device at this time. You can check at sammobile.com. But Samsung has updated the bootloader with each update and you have to flash the firmware with the same bootloader version. You can't go backwards.

Edit, I'd really try asking your question here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help. I'm not sure on your device if you can go back to nb1, 4.4.4, firmware. I'm assuming there is no 5.x firmware for your device at this time. You can check at sammobile.com. But Samsung has updated the bootloader with each update and you have to flash the firmware with the same bootloader version. You can't go backwards.

I will, thank you. I can't afford losing anything as of now. Really hope there's a way of getting it to boot back up.

SOLVED. I can't believe how easy it was. I was about to flash it over from scratch but then it struck me.
Chainfire ships Odin with all its root bundles, a version where you cannot untick "Auto Reboot". Because of Auto Reboot being ticked, Odin freezes at "cache.img". It might not freeze for some people but for me, having Auto Reboot activated causes the freeze
Downloading a different version of Odin (any version, I used 3.09) that allows changing parameters and LEAVING EVERYTHING UNTICKED BUT F. RESET TIME works like a charm.
Don't forget to reboot your phone after Odin displays PASS or RESET (Long press power).
I'm going to PM Chainfire about this, and tell a max of people about it.
Thank you for your support
EDIT: Also going to NANDroid my phone. I'm tired of panicking over failed roots
I've looked everywhere and haven't found anything on rooting for the 930az. Found an xda rep that said his root or the root he got if from was for all s7 . Followed the instructions step by step till I reached flashing ,then my phone got stuck in a bootloop .luckily I found a post on the inputs of Oden to return to stock but I'm still persistent on finding a root for it please help!!!

When you say flashing, fhalsing what exactly got you the bootloop? Was it flashing the engineering Boot.img through Odin or the fix S7 zip through Flashfire... Or something else?
I don't have a Cricket branded S7, but always offering to help you research.

Only a few things I can think to ask:
1) You are using the Odin version by PrinceComsy... not the original version of Odin?
2) When you download the engineering boot image, you're downloading it for your phone model (S7 for S7, S7 Edge for the S7 Edge)? Maybe you accidentally downloaded the wrong one?
3) When uploading the boot image through Odin, the boot image TAR file is in the AP slot of Odin?
4) Last thing I can think is easy, is the boot image is still a TAR file correct? Its not a ZIP or any other file extension?
Have you tried downloading the image again? I invite you to check out a thread I'm part of if you want another location to download the S7 engineering boot image, that thread located here and the boot image file can be downloaded directly from here

Yes and I tried the original also

Correct s7 for s7
3) When uploading the boot image through Odin, the boot image TAR file is in the AP slot of Odin?
Yes
4) Last thing I can think is easy, is the boot image is still a TAR file correct? Its not a ZIP or any other file extension?
I made sure it was still a tar file.
Thanks for your help I'll check it out

You're welcome, just trying to figure it out. Though I see this is a common thing, so I wonder what is different with the Cricket version?
And you're rooting the Nougat version of the phone? This seems to be a topic floating around with no one explaining it. I've tried looking to see if maybe the processor might be somehow a "reduced" version of the 820 compared to the others... but everything makes it look like it should work.
Only other thing I would say is go back through all the steps, and make sure you're not accidentally skipping one. I did that a bunch of times when I first started off. I ended up printing off instructions and making note edits. Took me a few different sets of instructions until I found a formula that worked for my G930P

I'm sorry no we haven't received the update yet I'm still on 6.0.1. Do you mean like mixing up the steps and finding which worked with your phone?

Oh I'll have to go back and do some rereading then, because I thought I saw some websites saying that phone was already on Nougat. If you're still on MM this should be easier I would think... hmmm
For me, it took me about 4 or 5 different threads of talking about how they rooted their Sprint S7 phone, for me to find the right instructions for myself to root my phone. But I know along the way I would miss a step, then my phone wouldn't boot or bootloop like yours. That's why I went back and printed out instructions and checked off to make sure I didn't skip anything. After awhile I could wrap my head around it.
Just saying we are all human, so it's easy to skip a step. Though it doesn't seem like you're the only one having this problem. But if all the branded US phones are pretty much rooted one way or another, I don't see why yours would be any different.

Your probably right I'll try those steps again and see if anything changes. The only model I see that's close to g930az would be the at&t which is g930a. I know I got lucky with the last attempt to try with it in soft brick. I just don't want to try to many and it be completely screwed. Because on cricket you have to buy all of you phones up front well at least I had to with mine. I'll try it again and let you know if it worked or I have a paper weight haha. Thanks again

With following the steps you are and what you have happening, you should be OK with being able Odin back to factory firmware.
Yeah Cricket is kind of the double edge sword, you have to buy the phone up front, but they have CHEAP prices for good service. I had them when I first moved to Arizona and would have kept them, if I didn't travel so much.
Report back if anything changes.

Do you have the stock firmware and Odin? Flash that will get you back to stock and functional. Does take awhile to flash the full imagine, but can pretty much fix any software brick issues.

By default the phones are locked so someone can't steal your phone and Reimage it. If you boot your phone up after trying to flash do you get an FPR or some sort of error like that?

I would recommend going to sammobile or updato to get the firmware for your phone. Sounds like you have the wrong model. If you need help I can help in an hour or so when I get home.
