NEWBIE ALERT
Hey guys, I installed cwm through ODIN and it looked like this http://static.masterjason.com/images/xda/cwm-herc-4-0-0-2.png
I then flashed my ROM from stock GB to stock ICS(xxq7)
But the look of my CWM has changed from http://static.masterjason.com/images/xda/cwm-herc-4-0-0-2.png to *WILL UPLOAD*
Home button DOES NOT WORK I have to select thing by pressing the power button.
And inorder to go back I need to navigate to the "..." and select "..."
Kindly help asap as I want to flash ardadat's kernel.
Also enlighten me on HOW TO FLASH A KERNEL!
Thanks.
And MAZEL II dl links aren't working, kindly look into it
First of all this type questions belongs to Q'nA board. As now we are having Q'nA board kindly use it for posting any questions.
As u said u have flashed stock ICS upon ur stock GB. Stock roms (odin flashable packages) comes with stock recovery software. When u flash whole stock rom package it also replace ur recovery and I think that's y after flash u see different recovery software. Simply just flash any CWM package using odin. (U can find collection of adam in dev section).
About flashing kernels. Most of all kernels available for our device are provided in CWM flashable zips by their devs. Simply place zip on ur sd card. Boot in recovery and select install zip. Navigate to zip file and flash it. Kernel will be flashed.

Okay, So I flashed the kernel
Thanks!
I have flashed a note 10.1 with CWM and I think I would like to put TWRP; I'm undeducatedely biased towards TWRP from it's look, feel and easy install.
How do I replace CWM with TWRP? Just flash the TWRP .tar with odin? Should I reset the current tab to factory etc.? I'm ignorant. I would REALLY appreciate some enlightening.
Download Mobile ODIN onto your note 10.1, you will be need to update this once installed, then copy TWRP.tar file onto external sd card.
Using Mobile ODIN you can then flash the new recovery without causing your flash counter to go up by one.
You can also flash other roms, the .zip files, through mobile ODIN but you will need CWM or TWRP for nandroid backup...
Read the download section for install guide..

What is the flash counter?! Why should I care?

The flash counter is Samsung's way of seeing that you've been a bad boy and rooted your device or installed custom recovery kits.
You should care if you need to send the device for a warranty repair
Now we've got over the preliminaries - decide how you want to proceed and make your decision. If you want OTA updates, etc then this stuff matters. If you're happy to flash ROMs then it doesn't - at least until you flash a Galaxy Tab ROM by mistake and end up with a brick.

Hey, i am new to android. Just got an old Samsung galaxy sl gt-i9003. it has never been rooted. i tried rooting it using odin and the cf root file by LoLaTiOn for DDMF1 firmware. Did everything correctly and when it came to install zip from sd card, it gave an error after i selected the zip file. the error says- can't open E:/(name_of_the_ROM).zip (bad). I thought the problem might be with the zip file. so i tried a lot of ROMs like CM11 and Nameless but still the same error. please help me. i can't figure out what the problem is. how can i install the ROM properly without any error?.
CF-ROOT file i used by LoLaTiOn: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43016372&postcount=30
My phone details:
You are on the Right track. If you could post your query inGalaxy SL i9003 General the right experts may be of help.
EDIT - Per the suggestion of my college @KJ , I want to remind you that you flash a custom Rom zip file with a custom Recovery such as CWM or TWRP. You use ODIN only for Samsung Stock firmware. If you tried to flash custom Roms with ODIN, you may brick your device.
thnx...!!

Thnx for the reply and the suggestion. And i tried to flash it using CWM recovery mode only.
In that case, please post in the Forum I linked in the last post so that the right experts may be of help.
Hey everyone, so I have from what I researched here is a "soft" bricked phone as my recovery mode (TWRP) and download mode works fine but no boot.
First let me say this is the Canadian version of the Note 5 SM-N920W8. I posted here because there is no forum for that version everything seems to be the same and posted under 920T version.
HISTORY OF THE PHONE:
It was a while ago that I rooted but let me describe to the best of my memory how my note 5 ended up in the state that it is in. So stock was lollipop 5.1.1. I flashed the skyhigh kernel which gave root access but had random reeboot issues which led me to flashing TWRP recovery so I could flash boot.img as an image file which did take away the random reeboot problem and removed that red error on startup "kernel is not SEANDROID enforcing". Life was good at this point! Everything worked great woth no issues. I greenified everything and underclocked the cpu with system tuner and used system app removed to manually all the bloatware as I didnt want to start using custom roms I stuck with the stock firmware. Part of the reason that I didnt want to use custom roms is because I started reading up on xposed framework, so I decided to flash it and give it a try. I read the xposed framework thread followed the download link to my version downloaded it and flashed with TWRP. Immediately after this was a bootloop.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
Unfortunately I had no backup in TWRP.. In a panic before researching I started flashing other kernels like arters kernel and I think space x whcih can be used on some note 5s.. which brought back that SEANDROID error message in the bootloop. I flashed the skyhigh kernel but flashing the boot.img didn't get rid of that error message again.
A friend of mine at work recommended that I just wipe everything and flash the stock firmware from sammobile.com with odin since I still have recovery mode then just re root. So I went into TWRP and wiped EVERYTHING. I think there was 4 or 5 boxes in twrp data wipe but I selected all the boxes. Now the phone doesn't even get the Samsung logo on boot or anything but download mode works so I flashed twrp again which loads up. I downloaded my version of the Samsung firmware which was about 1.6gb from sammobile.com. I open odin load the file that I extracted. A tar.md5 file which took longer than normal to load into the AP but I didn't change any settings or anything. Should I have? Because after I hit start it failed. I retried at least 3 times. Does this firmware contain all the AP CP and all the other boxes or do I need to find those separately? Should I just try a custom rom?
Im not sure what to do here I have a completely blank phone but twrp and download mode works so it recoverable right?
I read up on adb sideloader but didn't get too far.. is that worth trying for recovery in this case?
I also read a few threads on here for other samsung versions where they say to flash a PIT file with odin but they all say that it only works specifically for that phone and I couldn't find one for this version of the note 5.
I know the #1 rule here is to research before posting and Ive really made my best attempt to research on here and Google over the last few days but I really need my phone back. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you have either a custom or stock rom installed or the official Samsung firmware installed
then it should be an easy fix, you must have flashed a incompatible kernel or perhaps you
deleted the kerned. (the phone will not boot without a kernel)
You need to find a compatible kernel and flash it using twrp recovery.
Here is a link you may want to try, it's for kernels for the Note 5 only:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-note5/orig-development
It might even be better if you were to Odin flash a fresh copy of your Note 5 specific
firmware using download mode, that's the surest way to get your phone working again.
Give it a try...
Good luck,
Have a great day!
Good luck!
Hi thanks for the reply! I did try that already unless flashing a stock firmware is different than putting it in AP as I flashed the kernel. Do I need to select some different optioms in odin since I data wiped everything and need all the necessary files to boot the phone? Oh and I did put the skyhigh kernel back on.

Your best bet is to download the official Note 5 N920T odin flash firmware,
unzip it so you will end up with a TAR.MD5 file.
Then do a full wipe including system, data, cache, dalvik and last but not least
a factory reset in twrp recovery.
Once you do that your phone will be working properly again, flashing a kernel
or flashing firmware is the same process in odin. Use the AP slot.
And now I know what messed up your phone... it was as I posted before either
flashing the wrong kernel or the kernel got deleted who knows how.
That's all I can tell you except if you want the link to the official Samsung
N920T firmware here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...t/rom-android-6-0-marshmallow-note-5-t3250812
The link also guides you thru the odin flashing process and other important things.

I was researching some methods of flashing firmware to a completely wiped phone and read somewhere that there is a method to download all the files individually and put them into all the other sections in odin but I guess these tar.md5 files are a package of everything and one file is enough for a completely wiped phone? If all I need to k ow is to download that firmware unzip and flash in AP then awesome So longlong as they both have the same effect.

Just to clarify the order of this; first download that firmware via that link. 2nd wipe everything in twrp except for recovery so I can go back into twrp and factory reset in twrp? This alone will boot my phone before flashing the firmware? Or do I need to factory reset in twrp then flash that firmware in odin to get a boot? And is this custom firmware do I need to root again after I get boot?
Thanks for the link to that firmware going to be trying this right after work

Wait. You have a W8 variant. Odin won't flash a T variant on your W8 device, I don't believe. You need to download your carrier specific, hopefully 6.0.1 version, of the firmware for your specific carrier version, and flash that in the latest 3.10.7 version of odin.

What carrier are you on? Go to sammobile and find out exactly what firmware is the latest for your variant on your carrier, for us T variants it's dpd1, but yours will be different, and sammobile is slow so if you can find a mirror somewhere for the stock firmware do that, download it...should be a tar.md5....if you get an error loading it you can often remove the .md5 from the extension...now first reboot recovery and you only need to wipe art/dalvik cache, system, data, cache, and if you want to internal storage but I normally don't...if you wipe efs and everything else you'll be sorry because only thing that will restore it is a full factory odin firmware flash...which is exactly what we're doing...so wipe those partitions then reboot download mode....launch odin and load your downloaded image into the AP slot. Make sure it's at least 3.10.7 version of Odin...when you connect the usb after rebooting to download mode you should see a green/blue box with COM:x (where x is a com port number on your pc) and it should say added...now flash it and wait until it finishes, it'll reboot maybe even a couple times, but it'll eventually make it to the setup screen- from here you can continue stock or flash twrp in odin then recovery flash a rooted kernel for stock rooted or continue with a custom rom, there's a fix in the note 5 gen section for making t/w8 devices work with call audio on intl roms and there's some stock Deodexed stuff at this point and certainly tekhd's mm rom...so from there the choices are yours...but your device is fine you just NEED to flash the correct stock firmware for your variant and use the latest version of odin with a factory usb cable and latest usb drivers from Samsung on your pc when you do it...you'll find links to all this stuff in most of the guides that are abundantly available...

I realize I have a W8 and hes providing the firmware for a T. I rooted with a kernel that was for a T version and everything worked fine. I researched rooting note 5 SM-N920W8 and they said do everything the same for the T version because theyre basically identical and isnt much info on the w8 version. So far Ive had no issues flashing everything designed for the T version on my W8. Actually Ive only tried flashing stock w8 firmware from.sammobile.com and got a fail in odin so now Ill try the version MisterJunkie provided me with for the T version unless considering all this you think I should still try a different firmware all together for the W8?

Bud, that's not the official tmo pd1 firmware, and I'm not sure if the leaked (alright it would likely run) would be the best here...plus he scares me when he says he cleared EVERYTHING cuz I'm thinking back to exactly how much twrp will wipe, but it's a lot so I fear he's going to need some partitions restored that are only going to come from a full pit file mapping...I don't believe official pd1 would flash in odin, nor would I recommend doing so- I would locate the most recently official firmware to ensure all partitions are restored, then if he doesn't have official mm support he can look into the leak, but if he had official for his variant and carrier that's his best bet to ensure 100% fix and give him a solid foundation to start from if he wants to root, rom, mod, etc
Not to discount your advice, I'd just hate to see him in a worse place than he is...which he's not even bricked YET...but he's starts screwing with wiping efs or messaging with csc stuff from different variants and he could back himself into a corner...

My carrier is Rogers. I did goto sammobile.com already and downloaded and flashed what I thought was the current stock firmware for my 920w8, but I flashed without wiping all data as previously stated. Maybe doing this will allow my firmware to flash? Will try when Im home from work. Will also post the link from sammobile.com for the exact firmware I download just to verify ots the right one.
Yeah I literally wiped everything I checked all the boxes and I remember having to manually type y e s to proceed so yeah pretty serious wipe lol.
I have the latest version of odin 3.10.7 and tried installing drivers on my pc said theyre already installed.
When I connect my phone to usb in download mode it says com:4
I thought also that just flashing the stock firmware would be the solution since I get download mode and twrp I just have a blank phone but as I said I did get the stock firmware from sammobile.com and try but it failed. Maybe I grabbed the wrong one but it looked pretty straightforward. Maybe with MM coming out Wednesday for rogers note 5 Im downloading the wrong version.
Im worried like you wrote earlier that I deleted too much with twrp if I needing mapping partitions and PIT files I will need some serious help that stuff is beyond me.

Goodmorning, as I mentioned I would try this right after work. Heres what I did.. I verified that I had the 3.10.7 version of odin which I do, checked drivers on pc which I have. I re downloaded the firmware from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N920W8/ Its was the Canadian Rogers version 5.1.1 near the bottom as mm isnt out for rogers yet.. Oh and I checked my cable ot connected another device to my PC.. so after all this I went into twrp wiped everything you mentioned. After that I was looking for the factory reset option in twrp but couldn't find anywhere only restore which I have no rom backups made. Do I need this step?
Went into download mode pressed vol up.. opened odin 3.10.7. I did notice a change after wiping. Its now says com:6 instead of com:4 if that means anything.. I loaded the firmware into AP it took a while to load but it did without errors. Flashed and failed If you need I can copy the error message from odin in here tonight.
Do you think I need to remap partitions as you said earlier? Getting PIT files? Im lost here... appreciate any help
Still with a blank phone, any ideas?
Or if anyone could direct me to another thread that might be useful for re mapping partitions?
Have you tried flashing twrp again in Odin?
I hit too many buttons before when wiping. It even erased my recovery.
Once I had recovery again I could Odin flash the official firmware.
Could try Philz recovery as well.
Sent from my SM-N920T using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yeah I did try that heres the link where I got the firmware and yeah twrp is on there.

After that I was looking for the factory reset option in twrp but couldn't find anywhere only restore which I have no rom backups made. Do I need this step?
Went into download mode pressed vol up.. opened odin 3.10.7. I did notice a change after wiping. Its now says com:6 instead of com:4 if that means anything.. I loaded the firmware into AP it took a while to load but it did without errors. Flashed and failed If you need I can copy the error message from odin in here tonight.

Since you have twrp on the phone.. Tap to create a backup even if there's no system on it so that you can at least make it create the folder.. Try using adb to push a ROM and kernel to the phone so you can use twrp to flash it. If you can get into the phones storage using Windows then just drop a ROM and kernel for your device in the folder and then use twrp to flash.
By the way.. Use the SkyHigh kernel.

I did try immediately to connect with Windows to my phone so I could try flashing stock firmware with twrp but its currently not allowing me access to view storage on Windows though it does connect with odin saying com:6.

I will do this as soon as I am home from work. Will this perhaps allow access with Windows and/or adb sideloader?

I will be researching how to do this. Have you any threads to learn adb? So basically this will allow me to put ROMS or other files into the internal memory?

Also Marshmellow isnt out officially for SM-N920W8 so Ill need a kernel for lollipop 5.1.1 unless you suggest to wait for marshmellow then try a mm kernel?
Thanks for helping!
How about this adb sideloader does anyone think that will work to load the firmware? If so any good threads to guode me?
What did you end up doing? I have a similar problem except no recovery mode, just download mode for Odin.

Where did you get your firmware from?
Why oh why did I bother reading through this entire thread, with intentions to help OP. Lol I didnt realize the date till the last post.
Dear xda community,
I recently have been given a gt-p5110 to play around with.
Sadly i have not succeed in flashing a rom onto it...
I have some basic knowledge on flashing rom's but so far I hadn't had much luck...
I plan on flashing slimrom7 but I can't even get a proper recovery flashed...
I have tried flashing TWRP recovery using ODIN.
Even tough it says that the recovery is flashed successfully it doesn't appear to be working...
I also tried using ADB but I couldn't maintain a stable connection...
Hopefully someone is able to help me!
Kind regards,
Kevin Jansen.
After flashing with Odin you need to directly boot into TWRP, else stock rom restores stock recovery at boot.
How?

Thanks for your reply,
How would I do this??
And do you know where I can find the original stock rom + recovery in case I would like to restore it to stock?
Kind regards,
Kevin Jansen.
Uncheck auto reboot in Odin.
After flashing wait 1 minute.
Disconnect your tablet from PC.
Boot recovery.
That's it
Stock firmware (.tar.md5) most of the time includes stock recovery.img. the .tar.md5 can be flashed with odin too.
you should find stock firmware here for your Device: http://samsung-updates.com
