[Completed] Need help please

okay so my Samsung tab3 lite was rooted but I did something and now it is stuck in CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.8 and I have the basic android ROM downloaded on my computer and not sure how to fix this problem Is it possible for me to put the ROM on my sd card then install zip on my tablet? I have tired odin but it can never find my ROM
Any help would be amazing!

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. You are on the right track to Odin the stock firmware to get your device working again. But you need the stock firmware, not a rom zip. If you've downloaded the stock firmware it does download in a zip format but you need to extract that so you end up with a .tar.md5 file. Use that in Odin. Also see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3. It's the forum for the tab 3 and does have some information for the lite version.

I have downloaded the firmware but odin does not see the firmware at all not sure what I am doing wrong but could I put the firmware on my sd card then put it in my tablet and install zip?

Have you extracted the firmware zip? Use winrar or 7-zip. You need to use a .tar.md5 file in Odin. That's what you'll get if you extract the stock firmware .zip. Use that in the PDA or AP slot in Odin, depending on what version of Odin you're using. See this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539

I got the md5 file and got it in odin and clicked start and then a couple minutes later it said failed and now my tablet only says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & Try again" so I went to kies and went to Emergency Firmware Recovery tab under tools but it can not find my device

OK, XDA Assist is a forum to point you in the right direction and not to solve your issue. So I'd ask here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/help. But use the usb ports in the back of your computer, 2.0 and not 3.0, and try different usb cables. Odin can be finicky.

Hi I'm sorry if this is a noob question but I've been out of the game for a while.
I never took the OTA update to Lollipop and am still running on 4.4.2 NCG build with Safestrap 3.75.
If I Odin to this package and flash the kernal, this will bring me up to Android 5 and i'll still be able to keep root and go back to 4.4.2 if I need to since it's not updating the bootloader right?
Sorry if I'm asking a stupid question but just have to ask before I do anything.
Thanks in advance.

I would just safely install one of Jrkruse's ROM's that have the "No Bootloader" Flashable Zips or update to PB1 using Muniz_ri's Update to PB1 and keep root. Which you can find Muniz_ri's here in the General Section and Jrkruse's ROM's in the Android Development section. Just remember to be sure you flash the No Bootloader Zip after installing the ROM and that you install JrKruse's SafeStrap for Lollipop because it won't appear in your app folder after installing these ROM's.

Cool thanks for the prompt reply. I'll give that a shot.

for the record yes this will allow you to still be able to downgrade.
but there are also other ways to get upgraded to lollipop.
This is just what I use just in case something really goes wrong. so i keep my recovery and dev aboot untouched.
of course with a working recovery there are other ways to recover. so to each their own

So I am not rooted and just installed the OTA for 6.0.1. If I Odin with this tar on AP slot will it put me back on PB1 with the ability to root or should I use the full on tar over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/g900vvru2bog5-factoryodintarimage-t3179527
on AP in Odin to go back and then use the BPB1 root method?

Use the full PB1 tar so that you can rollback your bootloader. since it doesnt trip qfuse.

Can anyone provide me latest stock firmware for Galaxy J7 2016 (SM-J710FN)?

Hi!
I am in need of latest stock ROM available for Galaxy J7 (2016) Indian variant, which should be flashable through Odin.
After last update in my phone, I could not flash the older firmware through Odin. It shows firmware binary as 3 and device binary as 4.
So, that's why I need latest firmware. I tried downloading it from Updato.com but even after downloading twice, the .zip file failed to open.
So, please provide me the latest ROM. Thanks!

Hi!
Yes, I was in stock ROM when I got an update and after that, baseband was updated. Since then, I'm not being able to flash the older firmware through Odin Tools.
Currently I am using debloated stock ROM (older)
Its build number is NRD90M.J710FXXU3BQJ3.
Baseband: J710FXXU4BRA2 (changed after updating)
I tried downloading ROM from Updato and SamMobile but both came out to be corrupted. I tried from PC and my phone both, so I think the upload firmware zip is corrupted.

Ok,
looks like u have updated your Bootloader (BL) to higher version (U4) as shown in your baseband number. You can not downgrade to lower version. Only thing you can do is to flash AP and CSC file (Do not touch BL and CP) from 4 files stock firmware with bootloader of U3. Please give me an email address here so I can send you 4 files firmware (in which there will be 4 files and out of that two files will AP and CSC). I can not write link here as XDA not allowing me to write any link here as I am "junior".

SOLVED: How to flash baseband/modem (modem.img) with Odin?

Before I get to my question, a quick background, which might help with explaining my question. So recently I switched to another cellular carrier on my unlocked S6 Edge (G925F) and now I would like to flash the baseband from the firmware corresponding to my new carrier in order to get better/proper connectivity. I downloaded and flashed the new carrier's firmware .tar.md5 using Odin, however, in the process of flashing, Odin threw a FAIL message when flashing the hidden.img file. So I had to manually extract and flash that file again, and it worked.
Anyway, it seems like, because of the aforementioned Odin FAIL message, the flashing process did not include the new modem.img file. So now I would like to manually flash that in order to get better service on my new carrier. So how do I do that? I tried flashing just the modem.img file with Odin by selecting it in the "CP" field, however, the flashing process gets stuck on "File analysis..." and nothing gets flashed. Am I doing something wrong? Can I flash that baseband some other way?
UPDATE, SOLVED:
I figured out the solution. I had to manually create a new .tar archive (with 7zip) containing just the modem.bin file. When I tried to flash that with Odin (by adding it under the "CP" field), it successfully went through.

May I please ask you, how did you get a firmware with a modem binary inside it? So far I've downloaded two different firmwares for this device, latest baseband versions, and none of them ships a modem.bin or anything similar. I'm totally puzzled.

A530F Sofware Problem

Hello guys. İ am new here and ı dont know how can ı use. İ need help for A530F device. İ rooted this phone and I wanted unroot. İ downloaded odin files and upload to device. Device has not opened when ı upload AP\CSC\CP\BL. But when ı upload just AP device starting but S\N and IMEI unknown. How can ı fix. Pls help me. ( Sorry for my English.)

You have to flash the latest firmware for your device. Failures such as yours are due to old bootloader/modem. They're older than the one on your device.
AP does contain system files and recovery, so it'll flash just fine. You need to find out what your actual modem version is, so you can flash a more recent one, if found.
If you can provide more information about your firmware, it'll help us help you.

Firstly, what it means flash.
I have already downloaded latest version (A530FXXULCUI1 TUR). But device not open.

Flash means to install something through the recovery. Or Odin.
Can you flash the modem (CP) alone? Using Odin? Can you flash the bootloader (BL) alone?
If it does flash successfully, you should receive your signal back. Unless you have a problem with your EFS partition.
