[Q] Skyrocket Bricked odin stuck

Hi you all guys, few days ago i purshaced an skyrocket sgh i727 and it was working perfect, then when i was using the
internet browser my phone ramdomly turn off, i just powered on but it never boot up so i decide to boot it up on clockwork
mode and restore to factory data after that the phone did no boot anymore neither in clockwork mode, when i try to power it
on it shows the samsung splash but stuck there, the phone can be put on download mode which is a good signal however when i
try to install a stock rom from odin this does no start, it keep saying initializing step, i though my battery was
discharged and i tried the battery in a friend's phone but the battery was full charged, so i discarded that was a battery
issue, i installed the lastest kies driver, i got differents odin version, downloaded few times differents stock rom version and re tried to intalled; but odin keep sticking on initializing step, tried differents batteries (full charged), differents usb cables, differents computers, but its seems the phone is completely bricked i tried almost everything also i found that kies can make an emergency restore but when i try to do it, kies request me the error code to proceed, but i dont have such code since my phone never give me an error on installing, it just doest start the restore with odin, when i plug my phone its recognized from odin and shows as added, can you suggest me something? im tired of trying all what i described above and the phone does no have warranty since i purshaced it on ebay and the seller doesnt no accepted to be responsible since the phone worked when he sold it, i cant find any place to purshace a main board but before to purshace one i think there will be posibility to fix it since its still easy to power it on download mode without the JTAG, i cant get it on clockwork mode anymore http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/crying.gif

First off, I can't really make complete heads or tails of your problem. Please use sentences and paragraphs.
Second, is Odin recognizing your phone when you plug it in? Read the ODIN sticky.
Third, how long is your phone "stuck" on the Sammy splash for? You're definitely booting into CWM recovery and not factory recovery, right?
Honestly, if your phone turns on, it's not hard-bricked and it can be saved. There are lots of stickies here that walk you through how to root/unroot, restore to stock, use ODIN, etc. Read through those and that'll give you your best shot at finding an answer.

Hi im sorry if i writed it with sentences and paragraphs, well actually odin does recognized the phone and shows as added, but when i start the restore the phone keep in download mode and odin just stuck in the step that says initializing.
I used another battery, another usb cable and other computer but odin keep sticking in that step.
I tried downloading differents odin versions and differents stock rom version from differents sites but i can see its not a corrupt download.
the phone had CWM but in the time i made a factory reset from the CWM the phone did no boot anymore on CWM neither the OS because it stuck on the Samsung splash, this splash stuck permanently maybe hours if i dont remove the battery.
I think im booting on CWM im not sure because (it does no appear the menu to install zips make factory reset, clear cache partition etc)
Kies recognize my phone also but unable me to make an emergency restore until i put the error code in the box that pop up (i dont have such error code since my phone does no give me any error the process just doesnt start)
i tried killing kies in the task manager because i read sometimes kies intefere with oding while restoring, i can make put the phone in download mode as i said but im not able to make the restore because ODIN Stuck on INITIALIZING MODE.
I read some forums and post before i post but i havent found nobody with the same issue i just found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240333 but this didnt work for me

In fairness, at least you're not out flashing ROMs and saying this.
How are you trying to boot into recovery? Are you holding both volume buttons and the power button down, and keeping them down until the Sammy splash comes up? Or are you just using the power button? If you're just pressing power, you're trying to boot a phone that has no ROM, and you'll have the same result every time.
Second, are you positive you're using the right version of Odin? v1.85?
Third, when you plug your phone into the computer and Odin, does the screen look like the screenshot in the OP of this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773659
I'll be really honest, this screams of user error, and that's really the only explanation I can think of--especially because the phone can apparently still be forced into download mode. Maybe someone more experienced has seen this happen before and can help more than I can, but from the panicked style of posting and your asking questions about whether it's booting into recovery or not, I have to assume that it's user error. We just have to figure out what that error was.

thanks for your answer to my post i apreciate you all your time, well actually i use the both odin version the Odin v1.85 and the odin v3.04 also the odin rom installer (i mean the odin package that you just need to plug the phone and then press start to update it) yes i hold the both volume button + the power button and i release it when the samsung splash comes up but now it does no give me the CWM since i used it to factory reset the phone and i think neither the factory recovery menu, however i can hold the volume down + plug the phone and then start it on download mode by presing the volume up button.
When i turn the phone in download mode, the phone appear in my odin as added like in the screenshot you sent me, then i select in the pda checkbox, then i choose the stock rom from my desktop, i leave the other checkbox selected like when oddin start ( i mean selected the options on auto reboot and F. Reset Time) then i press start, odin verify the rom and when it follow to the next step, odin stuck on initializing procees but my phone stays on download mode and do not pop any error neither the odin, as i said i dont think is a corrupt rom because i downloaded different isc version isc 4.04 and isc 4.03 also android froyo 2.3.5 but nothing works also i used different computers and usb cables and tried with a friend battery full charged maybe i dont have the OS in my phone as you say but my question is how to reinstall it if oddin doesnt seems to work on my phone also i have a galaxy s3 and i installed the jelly bean without a problem in the same computer with the same odin and cable usb

read this, its a sticky for newbs, follow it to the t, read the the whole post 3x b4 you proceed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398, if that doesnt work, either user error or hardware problem with nand

Make sure in Odin Only the reset time and reboot boxes are checked. Don't re partition.

Hmm... Well I occasionally have your initial problem, where my phone randomly turns off. Here, it doesnt boot right away, but I have to remove all power sources (battery, cable), put the battery back in, then it turns on fine, no questions asked.
What ROM were you using at the time? My phone started doing this after I installed the Liquid Beta 2Jellybean Rom. If you were using that at the time, it may have just been a ROM issue. Hope I helped...

i have reading a post about PIT
PIT – the PIT file refers as ‘Partition Information Table’. This is only useful for fixing bricked devices if somehow something changed with the partition table layout of the phone’s system memory. But in normal flashing, you should not use this file, or you may screw up your phone if handed carelessly.
does anyone have any idea how can i remap my partition in my phone or if it nessesary?

do you all guys have any idea what is going wrong? i tried to turn in restore mode following this steps
ENTERING IN TO RECOVERY MODE IS THE SAME METHOD FOR BOTH STOCK AND A CUSTOM RECOVERY (CWM)
Now turn off your phone, unplugged(might work plugged in)
Press and keep both volume keys down
Then press the power button while still holding down the volume keys
When you feel the phone vibrate or see a logo on the screen, release the power button but not the volume keys.
When screen goes black release the volume keys.
Wait a few seconds to boot in to recovery
You are now in recovery mode
But when i release the power but and keep holding the volume button my screen keep stuck in the samsung splash even when i release the volume butto + the power button after the splash comes up
I appreciate your time and im sorry if i dont write in paragraph senteces etc i just tried to explain my issue as it was posible for me thanks

i think your problem was this "odin v3.04 also the odin rom installer", never heard of the odin rom installer used for our phones, you could of fracked up the partitions, but i dont know the fix for that, if there is even a way to fix it
edit: nvm, i read that it was a prob b4 you tried that, then its a bad nand, there might be a way to push a recovery back onto the phone using adb, just cant find the post on how
here it is, it will get you started, you need to learn how to use adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31172875&postcount=19

Can you explain me what does NAND mean please, well when i mean odin installer i mean a comprimed package of odin that comes with the rom but you dont need to download the rom separately because this package include exerything its the same like the other odin but instead of use the PDA box you just plug the phone and once is added, you just press start and this does everything, the only thing that looks weird for me is that the phone can be put on download mode without any problem, and you said that if the phone can be put in download mode without j tag this mean its not breaked, do you have any information about if if i can make a re partition in my phone and resolve the PIT issue that odin says?

Yes, this is absolutely what im trying to say but i didnt know how to say it, tried to flash a leaked 4.04 isc, that previously worked perfect for 3 skyrockets i had and i updated them without a problem, the matter was i never meant to update this phone but i had to try it due in that moment the phone ramdomly turned off and it did no allow me to boot up my OS, so i got into CWM and press factory reset and then i reset the phone but it never boot up back it just keep sticking in the samsung splash, then i tried to go back to the CWM again but now i couldnt do it again, so i tried to install the rom leaked 4.0.4 with odin one click but it never passed, just stuck in the intializing step, then i tried to use the odin 1.85 and downloading an stock rom and putting in the box PDA, but also kept in sticking in the Intializing step never transfered anything to my phone my phone was always in download mode and never gave me an error, i did tried the odin 3.04 that i used to flash the rom in my galaxy s3 i9300 but also kept with the same issue, im not sure if it hard bricked because i can get into the download mode easily, but im unable to get in the recovery mode following the right steps, im thinking is a PIT issue here i found this threat for another model

We don't have a pit file for the skyrocket. At least as far as i know. You should be able to flash the stock firmware if you can get into dl mode. Use Odin 1.85 and follow vincoms guide

i tried using differents odin version, differents stock roms, different usb cables, differents usb ports and computers, also reinstalled the right drivers for my phone and i verified it in the device manager from my computer, so i can say the issue is in the phone
i tried to reinstall the CWM but it also keep on the initializing step so if this dont pass there is no way to get in CWM and neither to the factory recovery mode, as i said everytime i try to get in factory recovery mode i cant due my phone stuck in the samsung splash and never goes black as it should to say that now is on factory recovery mode.

Install kies, Run odin as administrator, use sammobile stock firmware.

I did it but keep sticking in download mode with the odin in initializing step even my kies download the emergency restore firmware and it stuck while trying to install is there a way a can make a dual boot without the cwm or factory recovery working?

I am having the exact same problem and have done just about all the same steps you outlined before I came across this thread. What was the final resolution for getting past the "Initialization.." phase in Odin?

Hi well i tried the whole method i could but i realized that would be quicker buying a new motherboard for the phone i got it on 50 usd on ebay it was a look that a guy tried to change his broken screen but he couldnt and decided to put his phone on auction i won and i repaired my phone however i send the mainboard to a friend of mine and he said the he couldnt repair it, i talked with a guy that said he could create the partition map again but i couldnt understand him maybe you can talk to him but he explained me that what killed my phone was to put a leaked firmware and make a wiping on the partition from the restore mode http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3597010 this is the guy just send him a message wish you good luck with that

[Q] Odin FAIL at modem.bin

Hi,
I'm trying to flash another firmware for my GIalaxy Note 10.1 N8000. I have read all tutorials etc. and prepared all according to it.
I was able to succesfully root to Clockwork Recovery so i though flashing another firmware to turn the Note into a European one instead of Chinese would be easy too. WRONG!!
Every time i want to flash with Odin it fails in the beginning of the process, see below:
Is there anyone who could comment me on what to do? I was able to recover from the failed flash attempt but i really want to flash another firmware from Europe for this Chinese version.

I tried already two different Firmwares but both seem to fail at the same point. I only installed the USB drivers not KIES so i guess it is not the reason.
Any help what is going wrong or what i should try to do?
Thanks a lot far any help.
Dave

Usual reply would be a faulty firmware file download another .
Other reply would usually be try a different Odin try different motherboard usb port .
A guess is that Chinese one is somehow different if nothing works .

Hi, thanks for your comment although it does not help me much.
I tried already 2 different firmwares which seemed to work with others and also tried different USB port.
As i mentioned both firmwares fail when reaching modem.bin however because the second firmware flashed in a different sequence doing the system.img before modem.bin it somehow added all the google apps on it and working so that's good news as it was not present before.
The PDA also shows the correct flashed version but CSC shows unkown now.
Anyway i want to be able to flash without any failures.
Also i thought that Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000 would be the same nomather if its from China or elsewhere, just the firmware.
Now i'm stuck with what it seems a working Note with Google apps but with CSC unknown.
I still hope someone had this before and solved it.
Thanks for any comments.

No such animal exists .

Lot different / fake / clone stuff from China posted on XDA that does not update flash or root properly .

CSC is not required to use a phone enter APN settings manually .
Try CSC changer from the market .

Hi thanks for your comments!
Is there anyway to flash without modem.bin? What does modem.bin include?
Rooting the device works with no problem, installed the clockwork recovery and SU succesfully.
When trying the CSC changer it gives me no options.
The device seems to work normal but i must say that i never cleared any cache before starting to flash. The reason is that in some tutorials it is not mentioned unitl after the flashing completed. Also i'm a little affraid now to try it before flashing because i don't know what will happen if it fails again and i cleared cache etc. before.
I'm still hoping someone experienced the same issue and found a reason or solution to this. Untill now i'll do nothing as it seems to work inlcuding the google apps. Not sure if the unknown CSC will cause any issues in the future with specific functions though.
Will keep following this topic to hopefully find someone with similar experience.
Thanks to all that leave some help or comments!

Modem.bin is the radio you use to make and receive calls, use 3g internetsms and mms with. You should be able to flash a separate modem.bin file either through cwm or through ODIN...

I have similar issue. My tablet crashed outta nowhere when peel remote tried updating. My tablet never been unlocked or rooted. It stays stuck on nite 10.1 boot screen. Tried using Odin to reflash firmware. But it gets stuck on "NAND Write". I've left it there for hours/all night. I'm pissed because my tablet has performed flawless up till this point.
ODIN recognizes and confirms it connected/communicating. I properly unzipped firmware to show file with proper extension needed for flashing.
Can anyone give any insight or help. Or else I will have to call customer service since I'm still coveted under 1yr. Manufacturer warranty. I have so many pics n video of family on it. I really hope I don't loose anything. I may to try to install Odin on my second laptop to see if it makes a difference.

ODIN 3.07 didn't work for me, switched to 3.04 and that worked, not sure the version you have
I have rooted, unrooted and flashed a bit on mine with no issues, you seem to have attention to detail, but just make sure it's the right firmware for your model some folks have flashed regular galaxy tab ROMs with tragic results
EDIT: does KIES recognize it?

Ill check which version I have. Nit sure. I do have the correct firmware for 8013 model.
Kies doesn't recognize it in regular mode anymore. Now if I put the tablet in recovery/download mode, it recognizes but hangs on connecting. Before I never had issue with kies. I was gonna try restore through lies but since it didn't work, I went Odin route. Now Odin recognizes and confirms its linked/communicating with tablet in download mode. The process starts off good then stops on "nand write". Ill try different version of Odin to see if that works.
Thanks for reply. I hope I can recover it.
edit: my version says Odin3 v1.85
where do i find the newer ones or the ones you used? i got mines from the sticky thread i believe.
update: i found the other versions. i tried 3.04. it got passed Nand Write start. but then said failed. it went straight from nand write to operation failed. i didnt see the other stuff in between like op has. at least its progress..lol ill try again then try a different usb port. if those still dont work then ill try to download another firmware file from somewhere. anyone has a link to latest jellybean firmware for 8013 model? one thats known to work.

I was gonna try restore through lies but since it didn't work, I went Odin route. Now Odin recognizes and confirms its linked/communicating with tablet in download mode. The process starts off good then stops on "nand write". Ill try different version of Odin to see if that works.
Thanks for reply. I hope I can recover it.
edit: my version says Odin3 v1.85
where do i find the newer ones or the ones you used? i got mines from the sticky thread i believe.
update: i found the other versions. i tried 3.04. it got passed Nand Write start. but then said failed. it went straight from nand write to operation failed. i didnt see the other stuff in between like op has. at least its progress..lol ill try again then try a different usb port. if those still dont work then ill try to download another firmware file from somewhere. anyone has a link to latest jellybean firmware for 8013 model? one thats known to work.

does auto play pop up when you plug the tablet in? that's how I manage my media anyway. I only use KIES if I have to, only recognizes the note like every third time I plug it in. and it says that my gs3 is unsupported. I feel like the Samsung drivers get screwy sometimes
EDIT: just curious can you get into recovery mode?

i get the notification thing on computer going off only when tablet is in recovery mode. by recovery mode you mean by pressing power and volume down at same time. then when it gets on warning screen you press volume up. then it goes into ODIN/Downloading mode. i can get there. i tried 3.04 and 3.07. both give me same deal. After Nand Write goes through its paces then itll say all threads or operations complete. Write Nand Failed. then itll show Failed up top in that other box also. i tried different usb ports also. so not sure what in the world is the deal. the firmware i got from the official firmware download thread. then i got the one for 8013. its a zip. i extracted it so the file with proper md5 extension would be visible.
before all this, i had no issues with KIES with my Note 10.1 or SG3. now KIES wont recognize it. Only ODIN will, once tablet is in ODIN MODE.

recovery is hold power and volume up, I added a pic of what it looks like. A factory reset will erase everything on your tablet. I'm not a pro, but thats why I asked if you could access the tablets files through auto play
EDIT: I need to learn ADB there might be a way to fix your problem through that. wish I could be more helpful
EDIT 2: it always takes me a couple times to get into recovery, it seems to be a timing thing

ok...nope...cant reach that screen. when i try it tells me "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" only mode that works is ODIN mode from pressing power and volume down.
hmm....i kinda know how to adb from my Nexus7 usage as i recovered one of my n7 that had a similar crash. but i havent seen a guide or whatever for commands to enter in for galaxy note 10.1. or any kind of tool like n7 has. ill check the other tools i have loaded as i think some were capatilble with more than one device. ill keep trying to see if i can get in recovery mode. i had redownloaded and extracted the correct firmware. so ima see if that changes anything.

like I said, it takes me like three tires to get the timing on the recovery mode. wish I knew more, good luck!

since i cant get into recovery, i tried using ODIN to reflash stock recovery. everything goes fine at first. then it says Write failed. for some reason anything i try to write to my tablet is failing. i see in odin 3.07 version they have an option called Nand erase/reset or something. i guess thats to erase everything i have on NAND. but i thinking that would clean tablet clean of everything. do you know anything about that option?
just tried a second time to flash stock recovery. its failing. i think i might be left with no choice but to call samsung customer service for a warranty claim.
this is crazy because my tablet was pure stock. no root or unlocking. and a simple update of that damned peel remote app crashed my $%^^ and put it in the state its in now. this is the only issue ive ever had since owning the tablet since summer time. makes no sense!
i appreciate the ideas though.

No idea about the NAND options, ODIN 3.07 didn't work for me, I have 3.04 and haven't used it since I updated to 4.1.2. That sucks that the peel update borked your %¢#! . Especially because it's a stock app! I updated peel about a week ago with no issue. Not being able to get into recovery is probably a bad sign. I keep hoping someone smarter than I would chime in. I hope Samsung takes care of you

thank you for the suggestion to use another version of ODIN....i have been screwing with this for a day and half thinking that every version of stock rom that i tried was broken in some way....turned that ODIN v3.07 does not work so well...found ODIN v3.04 and worked perfectly.

Recovery mode is easy, from power off hold down volume up and power. Hold both buttons in until you see the samsung logo, release power but keep holding volume up until recovery appears... Works everytime...

Same problem - half solved

Hi,
I'm trying to flash another firmware for my GIalaxy Note 10.1 N8000. I have read all tutorials etc. and prepared all according to it.
I was able to succesfully root to Clockwork Recovery so i though flashing another firmware to turn the Note into a European one instead of Chinese would be easy too. WRONG!!
Every time i want to flash with Odin it fails in the beginning of the process, see below:
Is there anyone who could comment me on what to do? I was able to recover from the failed flash attempt but i really want to flash another firmware from Europe for this Chinese version.

I tried already two different Firmwares but both seem to fail at the same point. I only installed the USB drivers not KIES so i guess it is not the reason.
Any help what is going wrong or what i should try to do?
Thanks a lot far any help.

Hi Dave and all
I am i EXACTLY the same situation - Just bought n8000 in china with chinese firmware and wanted to change for European. I encounterted the same problem.
After formum research and many tests of softwares/ usb ports/ odin versions. I got to a point when after crashing during instalation (like in davids situation) i couldnt turn on the device anymore (black screen saying that i should do recovery via kies)
I installed CWM via Odin and it helped.
The tablet started again with european system and applications and seemd to work well.
UNFORTUNATELY: The S note is crashing before it's even loaded and while using tablet i experiece lags for ex when typing address in internet app.
I made a factory reset and cleaned cache - still nothing.
Please help if you have any ideas.
David: How did you managed to solve your problem? Did you managed to finish the update withou a crash?
Best regards
Filip

[Q] Brand New S5 Literally Rooted

Hey People
I posted this on S5 cf auto root tread but no one is helping me. has been 2 days
Im new here so if this is the wrong place to post delete or please point me in the right direction
I just tried rooting my SM G900I (LTE)?
Im brand new to android and thought it would be a good idea to root my phone right off the bat follow a guide off you tube using these softwares:
CF-Auto-Root-kltelgt-kltelgt-smg900l
Odin3_v3.09
Anyway it didnt work and ive just peed my pants (just a little) : have the feeling ive bricked a $500 new phone
this is what it says on the download screen with its stuck on (have tried a soft reset battery out for over a Minuit) ;
could not do normal boot
odin mode
Product name: SM G900I
Current Binary: custom
System Reset: official
Reactivation Lock (kk): off
knox warranty void: 0x1 (4)
qualcom secure boot: enable (CSB)
AP SWREV: S1 T1 R1 A1 P1
UDC Start
Ive always run it in administrator mode and have tried 2 different usb cables, one is brand new with the phone and a mates one . one of the guides I was following said to use a 2.0 cable not 3.0 im pretty sure mine are all 2.0
anyway heres some of the dialog from odin if it helps:

Odin seems to think everything is fine as it says Pass in green but the phone is still stuck in download mode with the same dialog .
By the way I've tried a lot more than 4 time with the same method I think it must be stuck on (4) though

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

You can try a couple things. From a powered off state, hold volume up, power, home button. It should boot into the custom recovery, from there you want to wipe - cache, dalvik, and see if it boots. If not, Odin back to stock and start over. You'll need to find the correct file for your phone, probably on sammobile.com.

I tried the vol up, power and home but it goes straight to the download screen its stuck on , with the : could not do normal boot. etc
If I try odin back to stock firmware with the phone stuck like this is there any chance it would work?

Yes, it will work. Basically, you would be flashing the same thing Samsung does to restore a phone to factory status.

this why i don't do experiment to my phone before this phone all my phone was root because was cheap phones

There is nothing wrong with rooting an expensive phone, as long as you are prepared and have the files you need to recover from something gone wrong.

Yeah defiantly naive of me especially after coming from using apple not really knowing the first thing about android. although there's no info on there that mattered too much.
my only reason for rooting is so I can get an app like guardian I think its called or something similar made by XDA so I can regulate the apps I use as its pretty stupid some of the permissions you have to give to even basic apps such anything from browser history, access to contacts and caller id etc. when there is really no need.
im not paranoid I just don't believe you should give private info so readily. but im back to square one anyway haha

So you got it running?

I would, worst case scenario is you'll have to reflash original tar in Odin again

Are you sure you have Auto Reboot checked?
Also......check CP, not AP. In fact, I used Odin 3.10 instead of 3.09.
Good luck.

Custom Binary Blocked by FRP Lock

I've been running the latest Darthstalker rom on my T-mobile Galaxy Note 5 (SM-N920T). After midnight New Years.. I powered the phone off and then later powered it on and I get this message Custom Binary Blocked by FRP Lock. I can't mount anything via my WIndows laptop and I can't get into Recovery. Since it's a note 5 I can't even open it to get the serial number or any thing or pull the SIM chip. I've seen some posts telling me to use Kies 3 and some saying using Odin to install stock and reroot. A lot of these posts seem to have been using Darthstalker as a ROM.
Is there any path I can follow that will allow me to get back and up and running without data loss? What's the best steps to take?
Thanks in advance and Happy New Years XDA!

The other examples I read said the same thing.. at this point I'm going to try to find a stock and odin it and root again and see if I even get my files back.. Unless someone has a better idea?

I would suggest pushing the root kernel to it anyway just to see if it will go.. I do have an FRPbypass but it's an apk meaning you need to install it and if you cannot mount to push it and then try to do adb shell pm install FRPbypass.apk then there's no point in that either.. Can you even get into download mode? If not the last thing I could suggest is the PIT file to repartition it. Unless someone else has a better idea? I do have the PIT file for odin too.
Also I think you're past the point of losing your data and if you can hold the volume down button and power button at the same time until it shuts off and turns back on again you can select factory reset and that's going to ruin all data..

My god, this happened to me on my first Note 5 I had. I was trying to restore it to stock before selling it and like an asshole I forgot to check for "OEM Unlock" and ran into that exact message. It put the fear of god into me. Like you I didn't have the serial number written down and I couldn't get it from anywhere. T-Mobile tech reps tried to tell me the IMEI number acts as a serial number, cool, that doesn't help me. I gave up on Kies and just played around with Odin after I was FINALLY able to find a stock firmware. I can't believe how difficult that was to get. I managed to flash the stock firmware thru Odin and I got the phone back! Stock as it came out the box.
I can't remember how I was able to get it into download mode but whatever button order I kept trying I finally did because Odin recognized the mofo and I flashed that stock firmware as fast as I could. It rebooted and I saw that beautiful stock welcome screen once more. Try to do this, I didn't need to do anything else.
For this reason I now keep a copy of stock firmware along with screen shot of my phone's status screen showing the serial number and everything else. All that's backed up to one of my external drives. Alone with several nandroid backups of various stages of owning this second Note 5 I have now. I'm running V10 of Darthstalker but I haven't heard of other users running into FRP lock. That would mean something tripped their OEM unlock option but how would that happen without you doing it? Is there something inside the ROM (a bug) that's tripping the option in Developer Options?
Best of luck with this, I know how stressful this can be. As far as getting your data back, yeah that's likely a no go. At this point you should be hopeful of getting a working phone back, let alone recover any personal data. Hope you can sort this.

I can get it into download mode.. just not into recovery. The only thing I can think I did was I changed my password about 4 days ago to google. I don't have any screen security setup so that is not a factor. Last night we were trying to figure out how to push Gear VR to a tv so everyone could watch and I recall disabling (by mistake) the developer options and then re-enabling it. I also turned on a secondary screen option and later turned it off. SO who knows? I do have a twrp backup on a sim so I'm going to go ahead and try to get stock going and so on.. Keep ya posted..

Yeah if you can get it into download mode and you've got the stock firmware you should be good to go and flash tru Odin. That's key. If I were you I'd be like, "To hell with my personal data! Get me a working phone back!".
Good luck.

Ohh I see what you did now and unfortunately all your data is gone because there's only one way to fix this now and that's to either flash TWRP again and then re-flash the rom you want or use odin to flash stock firmware to at least get your phone going.. The mistake you made was disabling developer options which in turn, turned around and re-disabled oem unlock and turned debugging off.. Never ever turn that off while using a custom rom and kernel!!

Try downloading the newest odin version sometimes that can help.. Can you tell me how it's failing? Like what exactly happens when you try to do all the flashing? Did you try the adb commands that I suggested? You only need to install minimal adb and Fastboot on the windows pc and then connect your device and then open a terminal in the same exact folder where adb and Fastboot were installed and then type Fastboot devices or adb devices if it give you a bunch of numbers it means that it can see the device and we can then manually push and install the firmware. The other thing I suggest you try to do is flash the Lollipop 5.1 T-mobile firmware because I think it doesn't have frp on it yet and before flashing it go into the actual firmware you downloaded and delete cm.bin then rezip the firmware again and flash that one without the cm.bin but first try flashing the entire firmware as is with the md5 and all before resorting to deleting cm.bin.. Don't try flashing the Marshmallow 6 rom because that's where they started that frp bullcrap if you ask me. FRP stands for Factory Reset Protection... I understand the need for it and it's importance but Google could have been a lot more open about it and explaining to its customers what it's for and what it does not just do it and let most of us learn the hard way!!
When you try to flash in Odin tell me what file it fails on.
If none of this works this page is your last bet buddy
https://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31136

I'm working on it now! Give you guys a summary of what happened as I as check off your suggestions..

SO far I have the ADB and Fastboot installed (found the link on XDA). However, when I plug my phone in and issue adb devices or fastboot device it does not show. I did also hook up a note II which is my older phone. It used to be rooted and had ROMs installed but I snafued it up one day and didn't bother with it. It says System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone.. blah blah.. SO that phone doesn't appear in adb devices either.. I've already updated and re-installed the samsung drivers.. Shouldn't the Note II have shown up? There is no FRP for that old model..
I"ve also got Odin and am currently downloading the 5.1.1 firmware.. the free way lol

Progress!

I was able to install the 5.1.1 firmware and it reboots, has tmobile's (or samsung's) recovery and boots to a TMOBILE logo and stops. Thinking it is not rooted anymore and Perhaps I should try to re-root.. I did try to install twrp and it failed.. Twrp 2.8.7.1 alpha.. and also the most recent..

I'm afraid I'm thrashing around at this point. I have the firmware for 5.1.1 installed. It boots to a tmobile logo and stops. I can get into the default recovery. I can't flash twrp.. I still can't get my files mounted via USB.. Perhaps I need to do a wipe data / factory reset? Also because I know you are gonna ask, adb still does not list any devices, nor does fastboot..

I was able to install the 5.1.1 firmware and it reboots, has tmobile's (or samsung's) recovery and boots to a TMOBILE logo and stops. Thinking it is not rooted anymore and Perhaps I should try to re-root.. I did try to install twrp and it failed.. Twrp 2.8.7.1 alpha.. and also the most recent..

Your gonna have to flash the LATEST 6.0.1 ROM and firmware thru Odin. I don't think 5.1.1 will boot your phone up completely.

It stopped right while trying to flash the recovery part of it so here's what I suggest you try to do.. unzip the 5.1.1 firmware you downloaded and unzip it again until you can see all the files in it and then manually flash them 1 by 1 in the AP slot but don't allow the phone to auto reboot uncheck that option and after 1 files flashed hold the volume down button and power button until you can select shut down device or turn off whichever then again hold the buttons to get into download mode again and continue until they are all flashed and then finally again hold the volume down button and power button and when it comes back on then select factory reset.

If he flashes the latest firmware with the security updates he can never go back to 5.1.1 so I don't suggest he do that yet

Ok, potentially some progress.. I flashed all the .bin files . Then I converted all the img files to tar.md5 and flashed those including the recovery and system.img. I rebooted the phone into download each time. Afterwards I rebooted and it did a system update icon for a bite and then the samsung animation.. Now it's at t-moile.. and sitting. I'll let it sit for a while.. maybe it's just rebuilding the cache.. I didn't see an option for factory reset, but I could go into recovery and do it there?
Update: It finally rebooted and has done so 3 times after sitting at the T Mobile (white screen) ..
Update2: I tried to flash the contents of file twrp-3.0.2-0-nobleltetmo.img.tar.. it failed so I extracted the recovery.img file and converted it back to tar.md5 (I know probably just a circle). It failed too..

Does this mean I'm not rooted anymore?

You're not rooted at all right now but you should not have needed to turn the imgs back into md5s again you should have just flashed them the way they were they don't need md5 just to flash. Try holding the volume down button and power button until it shuts off and turns back on again then select factory reset if that doesn't work then go into download mode again and connect to a Windows pc and use Smart Switch to try and fix it.

The reason I converted them was because Odin wouldn't find the files.. I tried just running them by typing a *.img but it didn't work. I'll go read about smart switch.. I"m learning stuff here
Update,: On a hunch I went back and ran the firmware install again, but just in it's original format. It succeeded and I'm setting up the phone now.. Thanks for your help MrMike. I appreciate you putting the time in..

Ahhh that makes sense.. never heard of the FRP feature until now though.. oh well.. So far I've tried flashing TWRP (failed) and tried flashing a stock rom.. (failed).. I was using Odin 3.10.6
I'll keep at it..

You are using the wrong stock firmware. Download the DPG1 firmware since that is was darthstalker v.11 is on. If you backed up your ROM then you don't have any troubles at all. Just ODIN back to stock, root, twrp recovery data only and done. But not all at once. First get the firmware going and reboot your phone. Once you know it's working the try rooting. Once you are rooted download TWRP and recover your data only.
Btw - FRP is when you log into your google account in the beginning of the setup so don't do that if you want to flash other ROMs.
P.S. I'be been running Darthstalker v.11 since it came out with no problems.

Software brick on a tab 2(5113) ?? unable to do anything with the "cache" folder...

Software brick on a tab 2(5113) ?? unable to do anything with the "cache" folder...
HiYall, got my tab 2 (5113 and using Candy6 ROM for 5110) that I carry around cause my memory sux. The other night (4 days ago) was transferring some maps onto my tab 2 and I fell asleep, with the tablet unplugged. To wake up with the tablet's battery dead. Of course, the first thing I did was plug it in (3 mornings ago) to find later a nice message saying that encryption failed? I didn't tell it to encrypt. Now, when I boot, I get that message about failed encryption and 2 options; the back arrow (does nothing) or reset the tablet, ok, s'all good, don't care as I did a backup of all the important things 2 days before. Now, I'm okay with full wipe and reinstall. I searched for the last 3 days all over this forum and google search with no solution.
I have TWRP 3.0.0.0 recovery installed
unrooted ages ago
Candy 6 ROM was installed, love it, oc'ed at 1.5ghz, stable, rarely & very little heat.
I also have an OEM ROM 4.2.2, tried to flash it with ODIN, no go, FAIL
tried the Shakatu 4.2.2 ROM as well, same
tried reflashing the Candy 6, same (using TWRP)
always the same, unable to mount /data (invalid argument)
using TWRP, unable to wipe, format, factory reset
unable to change the file system as well in the cache folder as pointed in a great many threads, it's in EXT4 in the candy 6 ROM, tried all the formats available, EXT3, EXT2, FAT, exFAT, F2FS, all the same error, (unable to mount storage).
Don't take me wrong, I know practically nothing about Linux and only followed instructions to the letter on the procedures to do. I only wish to give you the information that is relevant.
Thanks in advance
So,
Big

Can you post the odin log when it fails?

Judging by the green process bar, seem to be at 40something% - 45% maybe???
"Auto Reboot" & "F. Reset Time" are the only boxes ticked on
I also tried the stock bootloader, pit & kernel to no avail... but this log is with AP only...

oh yeah, am also using an OEM Samsung cable and running Odin as admin, firewall & AV are off...

The only thing i can think of is that your system partition seems to be corrupted because Odin failed to flash the system image. Some of our devices have the emmc brickbug which can make the device not boot or do anything (sudden death) or have corrupted partitions. I think the only way to fix it is to either have the motherboard replaced or update the emmc firmware. I might be wrong though but the symptoms and the logs do suggest it could be the emmc brickbug. (Unless your kernel has been patched which fixes this bug)

ok, so I reflashed the Kernel I mentioned higher, it passed in Odin, however, when I rebooted, all was the exact same. trying to reflash the most recent publication of the 4.2.2 Samsung ROM, we'll see... edit: just finished and it's a big "O fat failed... "I'll repost the results, thanks a bunch, oh well, if it's dead, it's dead time to blow some money and get another tablet, was thinking of the Chuwi hi13, should do well for me, got very little requirement for power, just want a clear clean large screen to be able to read, check the news and play some Klondike solitaire.
