Background: My friend tried to root his SGH-G589R by renaming the superuser zip file 'update.zip', which didn't work. now he's having issues downloading from the play store 'insufficient space'. I'm trying to restore him to stock firmware via Odin using this:
[http]://samsung-updates[DOT]com/device/?id=SGH-T589R
Q: I have checked auto-reboot, but it hangs on SetupConnection..
EDIT: Figured out what I did wrong. Wasn't using the correct version of Odin. It's 4.40 that's needed. This thread can be closed
Am I doing anything wrong? I've selected the .tar file in the PDA slot, and I didn't do anything with the SS_DL.dll
Edit: If anyone can provide me with the update.zip for the rogers version, that will work just as well.
bump. If anyone can help please do, I'm rather desperate

What firmware are you trying to flash? What does ODIN say?
Flash SGH-T589R
Hello, i have a samsung Galaxy Q SGH-T589R and i want to know if i can use a firmware for Samsung Galaxy Q SGH-T589.
What is the difference beetween T589 and T589R ?
Thanks
They are the same, just different names. As long as the model # is the same, you'll be fine

where dowload rom?
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.
YOUR GOING TO NEED DRIVERS INSTALLED!!
THIS FIRMWARE IS FOR THE P5210 MODEL ONLY! IF YOU HAVE P5200 OR P5220 YOU NEED YOUR OWN FIRMWARE! I will be adding them to my MEGA account soon.

Thanks Zachisimo,
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?
Thanks in advance for getting me this far :good:

Oh yes, I never had a problem with that.
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.
Weird, I dont know why I am not getting factory default.

Doily noted Zachisimo, but I have not achieved stock after 3 attempts at flashing Odin with the said stock rom and Odin.
I have the same working rom with a recovery that I want to change and cant.
Even after I Odin the rom, I do get stock recovery back. but no factory default
I Odin the TWRP 2.7 and later reboot into TWRP, I get the TWRP 2.6.1
Something gotta give....

Sent from my GT-P5210
I understand that there are many other posts about this particular issue but very few are solved and even if they are it is usually phone specific. There is no guide for the S6 yet, that I know of so I shall continue
Anyway I tried to flash the stock firmware using Odin to get out of a soft bricked situation. I originally tried to update the software via Smart Switch which failed. Then it asked to perform an emergency recovery via Smart Switch, this also failed spectacularly. Ive tried phoning customer support with no help as it was rooted previously.
Quick summary:
1. I unrooted then factory reset + wipe cache
2. Update via Smart Switch failed
3. Emergency recovery via Smart Switch failed
4. Odin pauses at "NAND write start" when attempting to flash
I have used Odin 3.9 and 1.3 with multiple stock firmwares both .tar.md5 and trying just .tar (it helped another user) with no results
PLEASE HELP AS I DONT WANT A 400 POUND PAPER WEIGHT
Thanks

I had the same thing. Try a different Odin version. I used the one from the thread in the general forum. I forget which version it is. I think it is 3.10.6
Sent from my SM-G920V using XDA Free mobile app
If you just flashed Android 5.1.1 then reflashed old 5.0.2 it will not work. You may need to wait for the specific 5.1.1 firmware for your country. Sammobile is a good place to check if its available. Try changing the data cable to another one, or plugging it to USB 2 port instead of USB 3. Also disable your antivirus. Last resort is bringing your S6 back to Samsung for warranty repair. I hope it helps.
i managed to download a 5.1.1 french version which I'm trying. also i have used different ports but not a different cable. I want to try Odin 3.10.6 but every time i try to find and download it it never works
I am unsure if it was 5.1.1 or the earlier firmware I am trying to use.
Thanks for your replies guys, much appreciated. Im getting to the stage of thinking I should dump the brick and getting a new one tbh. I'v exhausted all other options as Customer support won't help knowing my warranty is void.
just to clarify i didn't flash with 5.1.1 then try to flash a lower firmware. I factory reset then tried to update through smart switch which failed and lead to this horrific bricked situation

Hi Guys,
I was using SlimKat 4.4 on my galaxy tab. One fine day the tab stopped booting, I tried flashing the original firmware(from sammobile) but it wouldn't flash. Every time I try to flash, I get a message on odin stating that Nand Write complete(failed)
Can someone please help. I've googled around and I've also tried some of the method stated to work. I've bought a new genuine samsung cable for the cause as well. Can someone please point me in the right direction to fix the tabled.
Thanks in advance
Cheers

This could be the dreaded emmc bug . To make sure, can you boot in recovery? If you can, try flashing other roms. If it still boots up with Slim6 and everything intact, it 99% could be the emmc. Only an emmc upgrade or motherboard replacement can fix it.

Either a partition of emmc got corrupted by physical damage(considering the fact samsung shipped these tabs with a cheap card) or worse you erased nand while flashing firmware through Odin (did you check any box in odin yourself?)
if it's the latter case, heimdall would also not work,
tried with odin 1.85? flashed with pit file, and the four firmware files? that would be your last bet, (search google or my guide in the signature) after that it's up to the service centres.

Hello,
I do need some help now. I believe i've followed all directions, but am not having success.
Again, my device is a Samsung N8000 Note 10.1. Purchased from Eplus Germany
I have read the directions in how to use Odin, and have followed them precisely.
Drivers installed.
Original Firmware downloaded (N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar). But, in the compresesed file that I downloaded there was also another file (SS_DL.dll). Anyone know what this means?
I copied both files into the directory of Odin v3.12.13.
began Odin, then put the tablet into download mode, then connected it to my computer. There was a sound from my computer recognizing the tablet.
I then added the file firmware file (N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar) into Odin under the AP tab. I checked that the re-partiton box was not checked, then klicked onto Start. But Odin failed after about 3 seconds.
Can anyone please help me here?
thanks.
Use tar file only .
<I copied both files into the directory of Odin v3.12.13.>Never heard of that before .
At a guess Odin cannot find the file or its not connected ID Box in odin shows as connected

Hello, sorry but i need some more help here please.
I've downloaded what i believe is the stock firmware for my device from updato.com: GT-N8000_EPL_1_20150303173500_n47626s3xd
This is a zipped package with two file in it:
N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar.md5
and
SS_DL.dll
I've put both of these files into the directory where ODIN is. I have downloaded and tried serveral ODIN versions: v1.85, v3.10.6, v3.12.7, v3.12.3, v3.07
None of them work. After loading the tar file, ODIN begins, then after about 3 seconds stops and show the message "fail".
Attached is a screen shot of ODIN once i've loaded the tar file, and one that shows after the fail.
I've also added a picture of my note 10.1 N8000 while in download mode.
Anyone can help me here?
thanks.
Download file .
Unzip file .
Put file on desktop .
Open Odin
Locate tar file only and add to PDA or AP
firmware that you are trying to install is a downgrade and the secure bootloader (sboot) is blocking it.

Hello, and thanks.
What you have described above is exactly what i am doing. Are you saying that the reason it does not work is because the bootloader is blocking it? If so, how do i get around this?
I would really like to "upgrade", rather than downgrade. But at the moment i cannot find any other firmwares for my device. A few years ago I saw several ones, but not anymore.
Do you have a suggestion of which firmware I should install, and where i can get this?
Again, thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate it.

Hello,
i tried to flash N8000XXSDQA7, but it also failed. Similar to all the others that i've tried to flash. I must be doing something fundamentally wrong, as the fail happeds after only about 3 seconds.
Any help you can offer? Really appreciate it.
thanks
I think that the bootloader section of your Note is damaged.The picture you posted shows right method of Odin flash
