Phone only boots to download mode after failed ODIN installation. - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was running Ressurection Remix ROM and I was on OG1 but I wanted to upgrade from OG1 to OK4 so I downloaded the .tar for OK4. Went to install it through ODIN and I got this message.

I also tried odin flashing og1 but it does not work I also try to recover through kies but it says device is unsuppported even though it shows me on the phone screen to use the recovery feature in kies.

forget kies, use Odin. Im betting its a bad tar.md5 (same as the thread before this one in this forum). Id get a fresh copy of the next to newest tar.md5 and flash it in Odin, and while youre at it, get a new copy of odin (the one i use is 3.10) and ive been getting all my tarballs from idoneapps.com for a few mos now and theyve been solid as a rock. Give that a whirl and see whatcha got. Also, i think your culprit is a bad bootloader, S5s booting to download mode after a factory image flash is usually caused by the bootloader

Got it to work I had redownloaded the tar file and got the latest odin. But still didn't work. I went to go eat and tried it again and then suddenly it worked -.- Odin is unstable compared to HTC's RUU. I am just glad I got it to work

Unstable? How so? I can tell you this about Odin, it can take a while for it to load a file of the size of S5 restore tar.md5s. The root files you flash in Odin are small, so Odin only takes about 5 seconds to load them(if that), but a 1.5 GB file can take about 4 to 5 min on slower processors. My desktop (benchmarks at 5700) loads those files in about 90 seconds and almost instantaneously for the root and recovery files

Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6800 Need stock Recovery

I was trying to reset the whole device because I've uninstalled some stock apps by accident using Titanium backup. So I tried to recover my device through the recovery mode and start fresh. The stock apps was still gone...
So I figure I can use Odin3 v1.87 to flash the whole device with the firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
I thought that would most likely get me back to the factory settings with everything and start fresh. But then Odin needs PDA, PHONE, CSC to run and the firmware only gave me one P6800OZSLP7_P6800ZSLP7_HOME.tar.md5 I was like how can I use this...
Then I found a guide in XDA how to separate it out into the three sections.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24278264&postcount=9
I was like finally i can start this fresh. Things got worse.... every time it flashes to modem.bin it got stuck. It can never go through that part of the flashing. I then want to give up and use CWM to recover it back. Now i dont have 3g anymore on my tablet. Can someone teach me how to reset the whole thing back to stock?
As you can tell from the firmware i used is an HK Galaxy Tab 7.7 in ICS.
Thank you so much!
This is the P1000 forum not P6800.

you mean like checking the bootloader checkbox in odin?
btw do any of you guys know how to just flash the whole device back to factory settings other than using odin? does kies emergency firmware recovery work? do you guys know the device code?

I realized what happened i must have click repartition earlier now my device only has like 44mb hence the reason why it wouldnt finish flashing b/c it ran out of space. Do any of you know how to repartition the device back to the correct size?

You should use the correct .pit file and re-flash your device. Or you can also use adb shell and repartition yourself with parted utility. But that requires some unix expertise.

[Q] Root attempt gone wrong

Hi All,
I've attempted to root my SM-900, using Odin 3.09 and followed all the usual steps.
Suddenly I got different coloured horizontal lines on screen and that probably means my attemp didn't go that well...
I've read I should go back to the original firmware using kies, and then try again.
So how do I restore the original firmware?
I have an image (.img) and understand I need samsung Kies.
Question: Do I use Kies or the new KIES3?
How to go from there?
Or is there another way to restore the firmware?
Thanks in advance!
I figured it out already....
I un-tar-red the recovery file. Leaving it as .tar solved the issue.

Had the same issues. Solved it by reinstalling the USB drivers. Via Kies 3, under the Tools menu. Worked perfectly after that. (Edit. ...for CFautoroot)

Since the recovery image was downloaded as aan .tar file, which is a container file like .zip or.7z, I thought that I needed to unzip it.
You can mount the .tar file in Odin as it is, without unzipping it first.
You can find the recovery download location in the CF-root thread.

Mine did that after flashing a different firmware and trying to root. I solved it by first flashing the stock recovery in chainfires thread then rooting.

yep me too..
I'm having this same problem. I downloaded CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.zip from download.chainfire.eu. I extracted the zip file, leaving me with a tar.md5 file. I try to flash that file, and end up with multicolor bars across the screen, exactly like if the video card dies on a mobile.
Here's what Odin has output as of when the error occurs. It flashes up a big red failed in the upper left box.

So I flashed the original recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50492301&postcount=234 and got a working but unrooted tablet. And I flashed CF with both 3.09 and 3.07, with a flash back to stock before each. Same thing every time-picture of a dying video card, except display is fine once flashed back to stock. Pic of the display added, on the off chance it helps.
Install Kies 3, then go into the Tools menu and reinstall the USB drivers. Reboot. Try auto root again. Should work on the first try.

I did. I did the uninstaller for the USB drivers several times, with no luck. So finally I just deleted the Samsung folders in program files and program files x86. I did not reinstall Kies, just the USB drivers from samsung.com. I used odin 3.09, and it went flawlessly. Well, mostly-wifi took a *long* time to reconnect the first time after boot, but I'd also installed the update just before rooting, so dunno if it was the rooting or the update.

How many are remembering to unhide developer options and then select usb debugging? The moment I did that everything worked
Whwre did you find the USB drivers on samsung.com? When selecting the SM-P900 it does not offer any for download.

So this happened to me, and this is my first time rooting. I have the tar file for recovery. How do I proceed? I haven't unplugged my note pro, can I just put in the new file in the pda and start, or do I need to restart odin? Really kind of worried...

so you are still able to get into download mode? also give us a picture of what ODIN says, you should try to connect it to kies which would install stock rom itself for you, ODIN is basically already inside kies and we ripped it from it.

Curious, what is your phone's country of origin (and service provider).
This can help identify the correct firmware.

I bought the phone from Spain an now i'm using it in Romania and the carrier is Orange Romania. When i tryed to reset ot from settings it remained stuck a boot loop.

[Q] Strange Downgrade Problem !!!

Hello @ all
I got a new Samsung Note Edge SM-N915FY, with 4.4.4 Stock Rom from factory.
I install CWM recovery and have root. All went fine. I did a good Backup and so I can start to play with.
I try Mickey fast and famous Rom and works also good and I tried other stuff around. Some of them are good and some of the offered stuff is not booting, but no problem, it is only for playing around.
I install with Odin Lollipop 5.0.1 and give this Beta a try.
For me is important I can use XPosed Framework with a SkyModul with HDMI out, ( I know this is still in development) so I decide to go back to 4.4.4 Rom.
And this is not working. I can try to install the factory 4.4.4 rom or other stuff which works before and right now after install the Phone starts with sign "Samsung Note Edge" and shuts down again and so on. No Booting possible.
I tried the Factory Stock Rom with Odin and after downloading the ROM the Download Mode said "Filesize is too big"
Backup from 5.0.1 lollipop works everytime.
Any Ideas??

ii know with other phones the upgrade was a one-way proposition. Once the new bootloader was flashed you were essentially stuck on the newer firmware. Downgrading, even official firmware, resulted in bootlooping... Note 3, S4 had this little "feature" and it caused mass hair pulling...
After couple tests I think the Note Edge has this kind of "feature"
No chance to get back to 4.4.4
it caused mass hair pulling...

No Hairs here since couple of years but for sure this is a feature for massive Hair pulling
I just try all OdIn Versions and still I get this Message.
Is there no chance to get a Downgrade to 4.4.4??

Is it possible to get a valid PIT File for SM-SN915FY to download? I just searched around and it seems that other Note4 Owner had the same problem and it was solved with a valid PIT File.

I had exact the same problem with the galaxy note 4. When i put another custom rom on the phone with odin, it works good. Then i go back to the original rom till so far no problem.Then i put a new rom on it from outside my country. Then the problems starting, everytime i get exact the same problem as you have. The Phone said:
Volume Size is too big 81920 < 204800
ODIN: Invalid ext4 image. So after i can only download the official rom from my country. very strange. Till so far no problem with my Note Edge.
On NOTE 4 was possibility to downgrade STOCK ROM (from 5.x to 4x) with Mobile ODIN. Did You try this way? But I'm not sure, if Mobile ODIN is compatible with EDGE...

THX for this hint ... this I did not tried out but I just checked and load the mobile ODIN and the Edge is not supported in the actuall Version. Maybe later.
So it is only chance to wait for Xposed on Samsung Stock ROM :crying:
I'M back on 4.4.4 Now !!!!
This are the steps that worked on my rooted Edge SM-N915FY
- Boot to recovery mode wipe all Data/Cache
- Boot to download mode
- Start Odin 3.09 and load (AP) the original 4.4.4 from SamMobile (N915FYXXU1ANK4_N915FYDBT1ANK1_N915FYXXU1ANK4)
- After press start all will be loaded and You get errormessage on screen Volume Size is too big 81920 < 204800
ODIN: Invalid ext4 image (Your Phone will not boot up now)
- Remove Battery and go again in the download mode
- Reset ODIN and load (AP) the custom recovery File (n915f-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.1)
After I load the recovery file the Phone starts again correct and shows 4.4.4 Version

Sorry...but this I don't know. The first thing I do for my new devices is the "root" procedure and delete google apps and crapy stuff.
But why not? I think Odin and the Download Mode are possible without a rooting a device.
"Try and error" or maybe it works.
Good luck
*Edit*
you need a custom recovery like CWM oder TWRP and you must activate USB debugging in your developer options.
this is very strange that is happening to you guys, i have the tmobile version edge, used to have kitkat when i bought it, ROM from trinidad and tobago, decided to download lollipop from tmobile, did not like it, went back to trinidad and tobago kitkat, everything flashed ok, just a bootloop that resolved after i wiped cache
my phone has never been rooted, no custom recovery, no custom rom
hope this helps you out
I have 915g and to downgrade to 4.4.4 all i had to do was turn off auto reboot in odin, flash stock kitkat, boot into stock recovery, wipe data/cache and it booted.

Can't restore note 5 to stock

I am trying to restore my phone to stock because only stock modified rom works with VR, but doesn't play nice with android wear.
So back to stock I go, however when I put it in download mode load up AP with the file, and hit start it says "FAIL!" I have team win installed and that is how I get to download mode. I only had Auto Reboot and F. Reset time selected as well.
Can anyone advise me on what I may be doing wrong?

Download the stock firmware again the one you're using might be corrupt, also make sure drivers are installed
I have the drivers installed, also tried 2 firmwares, trying one more now.
Was following this guide:
http://www.droidviews.com/restore-t-mobile-galaxy-note-5-sm-n920t-to-stock-5-1-1-lollipop-firmware/
no firmware seems to be working. I also tried a new cable and a few ports. No change.
tried a different odin, got a bit further but ran into the get PIT for mapping...
Seriously, whoever can get me back to stock, i'll send a paypal donation to say thanks.
Are you using 3.10.7?
I experienced the same problem. I was rooted, running whatever custom ROM my heart desired, but unable to flash to stock....until I tried one too many times and had a soft brick. After some research I found I needed a PAC file. You can get it here: http://dl.samfirm.net/page/2. There's not too much to say. Each segment is loaded seperately and take your time. If this works for you I'm happy for you and want nothing more than to help a fellow traveler.

As I recollect the fee is for the latest PAC, the others are free.
So it got further with the files and the pit file, but it didn't seem to fully work and I want to understand what may be wrong. It said failed in the first box but continued then the next box said pass.
The phone is now booted in setup mode but I wanted to understand what i may run into with this error or if I am fine...

Are you able to post the files here (if that doesn't violate an XDA rule)? Trying to get the old ones and they seems to be gone and really don't want to have to pay, but I guess I will if I have to.
Hey Guys,
Having an issue getting one of my Galaxy Note 5 (SM-N920T) back to stock. I am able to flash stock firmware in Odin 3.10.7 but the phone is bricked. When I flash any stock firmware the phone reboots and is stuck at the Note 5 Splash Screen. If i reboot into recovery and try to do the factory wipe it tells me it can't find "E:" and fails. Only way I can get the phone to boot is if I flash a rooted kernel. Then I noticed it says the Baseband is unknown in settings. I was going to try flashing through ADB but it tells me ADB is disabled, same with flashing from external storage. I cant even get it to reboot into bootloader. I am starting to think the phone needs IMEI repair..
