So I wanted to downgrade to 4.4.4 from 5.0.1 with the downloaded ROM from this forum. I used odin 3.04 and loaded up the BL, AP, CP, and CSC. it always failed. Well in my finite wisdom tried adding a PIT file that I found for the device and also reformat. My phone starting giving me the yellow triangle of doom. After that i read that just installing the PIT file fixes that so I did and it succeeded but now it loads up the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro powered by Android screen for a few seconds then reboots back to the same screen. I can now get to recovery mode and download mode but recovery mode says disabled on all options when selected. HALP!
Edit: In recovery mode, the bottom says, dm-verity verification failed...
At the top it says the following
Android system recovery <3e>
KTU84P.N915AUCU1ANK2
Myself if you can access Download Mode ,
Then reflash stock 5.0 because there's no way possible to backroll to 4.4.4 once yer on Lollipop
(Read the Forum it's all over)

Ok, so I'm stuck. I can boot into download mode, but am unable to get into recovery mode. Had a system crash, and reimaged before system backup by mistake. So now just trying to resurrect this tablet... I've tried both stock firmware and rooted firmware through ODIN - it passes the flashing process, but on reboot just is stuck on the logo screen. This is a n8013 wifi only Note 10.1... I've also tried installing CWM (both highonandroid and darkman versions) to no avail. If I keep pressing up and power at boot and hold them down it will go black and boot a second time, but releasing power either before or after does not get me into recovery. I know dangerous but considering a PIT repartition at this point. Anyone gone through this or have any ideas at this point? Here's the two images I've tried - both pass but do not boot past the logo.
N8013UEALH2_XARALH2 Cellular South Android 4.04 - stock firmware I believe, not working though (just contains a single tar.md5 file)
UEALH2_rooted system - this contains a boot.img, cache.img, hidden.img, recovery.img, and system.img in the archive
Anyone have any thoughts?
I've the same Problem with my n8000.
Today I called Samsung Support and he said that it is possible to repartition, but he can't say how to do it...
Please help anyone!!!

I had a similar issue. If you are able to boot the device properly at least, try installing "Goo Manager" and then use the option there to reboot into recovery.
If not though, I don't have any other idea..
Pit file is the only way to repartition BUT you need to make sure it is the right pit file and isn't corrupt... If it is your tablet will be a real brick...
in S3 flashing the stock recovery solved the problem, give it a try
Couldn't hurt, you should find a link in here - http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...t-galaxy-note-10-1-easiest-methodcwmmethod-2/
Thanks go to Zedomax for this... I believe it is the ODIN flashable tar file...
Just remember though that if the partition table is fubar then only the pit file will work...
downloaded twrp 3, was running 5.1.1 on my phone and rooted it. tried to flash a rom and got stuck in a bootloop, now I cant boot into twrp, or anything for that matter. All i can do is hold volume down and power and home and try to ODIN a new bootloader or such and it just fails. what do i do? but when I try to boot into TWRP it goes into a blueish screen with a White exclamation mark saying "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software. I tried to do that but it didnt even recognize the device. At this point i dont care about the data, I just need a working device
Okay, so I attempted to unroot and flash the stock 5.0.2 software and I got a error on the download screen. It says SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3. BINARY: 1.
If you have no knox install MM official then flash this kernel tar file (AP) https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B40ItdHKfkyQcTA5bnRPWDg0X28&usp=drive_web#list it will boot to mm 5min :good:
Btw you cann downgrade from 5.1.1 to 5.0.1 you just go up not down

Happened to me a lot of times in the past few days trying to get MM, for some weird reason flashing Unikernel always works for me (takes me to recovery screen after, then i select 'reboot now'), and all my data, apps etc are still there

will try and update. thank you. didnt work.
Okay guys so now I need a ROM to flash using ODIN. I tried to download from sammobile but the speeds are too damn slow. What I tried to flash was this file " G920TUVU1AOCG_G920TTMB1AOCG_G920TUVU1AOCG_HOME.tar.md5 " and i got the error 3 to 1.
Download Samfirm from here, XDA itself.
Run samfirm, enter model as G920F and your region code.
It will download from Samsung servers, so high speed.
Now flash using Odin the downloaded file by putting the phone in download mode, (vol down+home+power on).
How did it happen?
Did you try to flash the VOD 6.0.1 and got stuck towards the end at hidden.IMG failing the process?
If yes, then its a two minute job. Just open the 6.0.1 tar archive and look for hidden.IMG extract it anywhere and rename it from "hidden.img" to "hidden.img.tar".
Note flash this hidden.img.tar as AP in download mode, your phone should boot.
I rooted last night which was successful but then I tried installing Xposed with Flashfire and after a reboot, it never came back up. I can get into what appears to be recovery mode and download mode but the phone doesn't do anything past that. In recovery, it says
Android Recovery

If I try to flash from ADB or SD card it says "Update from external storage is disabled."
Rebooting just brings it back here.
If I reboot into bootloader, I get a bright teal colored screen with a large arrow facing down and it says, "Downloading... Do not turn off target"
If I try to flash anything from Odin (AP, BL, CP, etc....), it sees the phone and calls out it's com port, but upon flashing it FAILS within a few seconds. After a fail, it displays
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 4 > Binary 2

If I power it off and boot directly into the "Downloading..." screen then it displays

But it still fails flashing from Odin.
I am using Odin3 v 3.12 but the actual file says Odin PrinceComsy.exe
I'm dead in the water here. Did my phone just become a $600 paperweight?
You've tripped the dm-verity, basically, you've installed TWRP (or another custom recovery) without installing no-verity or removing dm-verity altogether. I believe there is a way to fix it if you look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/how-to-solve-dm-verity-verification-t3293306. I have not personally used this method but most people are saying it works. Just ensure if this does work install no-verity from here:https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/ and install in your recovery.
Best of luck
EDIT: Just realized this is Verizon, not sure maybe wait till someone confirms this as I have an Exyons and haven't looked a lot into the snapdragon chip
My Galaxy A5 failed during a OTA update. I currently have an error stating that:
An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency Recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.
Smart Switch doesn't do anything.
I've tried to download the latest update from sammobile and load it via Odin 3.13 but that just sits on the system.img and doesn't complete. Left it overnight and didn't go on. Whats my best way to get the stock firmware loaded onto my device again?

Did you have your device rooted before you tried the OTA update? If so, that is where you went wrong, typically, you can't flash OTA updates on rooted devices or devices that have a custom recovery(CWM or TWRP) because the system has been modified, when the update flashes, it checks the system partition to verify whether it has been modified, if it finds a modified system partition or if it finds TWRP instead of stock recovery, the update will fail.
This issue typically happens when flashing via Odin and the flashing process gets interrupted.
Boot the device into stock recovery then choose the "factory reset" option in recovery to factory reset the device, then use the "wipe cache partition" option in recovery to wipe cache.
Then try flashing the firmware again.

No the device was not rooted prior to the OTA update.
I suspect somehow it got interrupted during the update.
To get into the Stock Recovery that is Volume Up + Home + Power at the same time right?
When I'm in my error screen it never does anything when I hold those buttons.
If I try the Power + Volume Down to reset and quickly switch I also can't get into the stock recovery just keeps going to the same error screen.

It should flash the firmware via Odin while in the error screen. If it isn't allowing the flash to be successful, try finding the PIT file for your specific model number, you might be able to find it in the firmware file, if it's there, Try extracting it from the firmware, then try flashing the firmware via Odin. Place the firmware file(s) in the appropriate slot in Odin then select the PIT tab in Odin, place the PIT file in the PIT slot, then go back to the main tab in Odin and select the re-partition and f.reset time options then click start and see if it flashes. If it flashes successfully but still bootloops, try booting into recovery then factory reset and wipe cache then reboot, sometimes this fixes the bootloop after flashing.

Do I need to tar the CSC file up again without the PIT File in it? and then use that tar file for the CSC?
I removed the PIT file from the CSC file and then used the original CSC file as part of the firmware.
Everything still stalls during the system.img step. Gets about 5% of the way and then just sits there.

Let me think about this for a little bit and see if I can figure out what is going on. It is rare that this happens.

Curious if you've had any further thoughts on this yet?
Do you think it's possible to just root the phone completely first instead of loading the Samsung Firmware?

Greetings, community
I had a hard time yesterday figuring out how to revive my Tab2... My device is (or was) a Tab 2 Wifi P5110 with the Germany 4.2.2 stock ROM installed.
I accidentially (...) flashed TWRP image with ODINs BL (!) option... (3.13) don't ask why... gave me no error... After that it wouldn't want to boot nor it wanted to go to recovery anymore... just a blank screen with backlight on. The only thing that still worked was the download mode.
So to rescue the OS I downloaded the stock 4.2.2 tar (Germany / DBT-P5110XXDMI1-20131118182728) and flashed it with ODIN 3.07 / AP. That worked without errors and after reboot the tablet booted normally to the GUI. :angel:
So far so good, but as I want to get a CustomROM to the device I wanted to get into recovery mode. I tried to get to stock recovery with Pwr+Vol- but the Android Robot didn't show up (I did before my BL-FLash... the day before) and I ended up with just a blank black screen (with backlight on). I tried flashing TWRP with ODIN 3.07 / AP with no other result.
How can I fix that? Have I destroyed some part of my bootloader (?) or bricked my recovery mode with that BL flashing action? What else can I do to get at least the stock recovery and/or TWRP back?
Anybody a glue?
Thanks in advance,
stefl0n
