[Q] Please Help Me: Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

I have Samsung galaxy note 10.1 GT-N8010 UK model. so after 6 months i rooted it through odin and used to install some rooted apps. from playstore i installed an app and after that the tablet suddenly restarted and stucked on the logo "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" after that i restarted it in odin mode but nothing happens. some time recovery mode for wiping data but nothing happened. NOte: clockworkmod recovery mode doesnt opens just simple recovery mode. and now that also recovery mode also not opening just odin mode. So please guyz tell me have i bricked my device or its hardware isssue or software or it can be repaired please please help me.

od:n node is a good sign. just-find a stock image and flash with odin.

Thanks: BUt
thanks alot. please tell me that is unrooting method?

No, thats not the unrooting method.
Best idea is to flash a stock rom, re-root, then run triangle away to reset flash counter and status's. Then use Mobile ODIN pro to flash a stock rom, make sure if you want to go stock that you untick the everroot options and re-install mobile ODIN options, then also tick wipe cache\data and wipe dalvik cache. This will wipe EVERYTHING off your internal memory so make sure you have backed up everything that you want to keep.
You now have a factory reset stock phone. No flash count, ALL status's back to "Official".

done
i have done the first method flashed 4.1.2 through odin and thanks alot it worked. now i want to install AOKP i like it so for this is should reroot my phone and flash it through odin and cwm not working on my tablet. thanks to all of you

if its the stock rom you open in odin it will generally stop responding, just let it be and in a few minutes it will be ok then you can flash. its just checking the file

If you're using PC odin you need to go to download mode 1st - from power off hold down lower volume and power button until the "warning" comes on the screen. press up volume and you get to download mode.
Connect the tab to the PC with USB and run ODIN. It will light up one of the com ports with "Com 0" Or something displayed. Make sure you DON'tT have Kies active or it won't work. It must be exited from or uninstalled. Also don't have another samsung phone/tab attached or it will pick this up too...
Shouldn't do anything but if it does detect, it is a shock when "FAIL" shows up, especially if you're not sure already... You might do something stupid like disconnect the tab in the middle of a flash...

Help softbricked or hardbricked device?

Follow the instructions from this post. Since you are soft bricked at the moment, you'll need to start at step 4. If you have an extSD in your phone, you might want to pull it until after you're up and running because the "Android" folder from Kitkat needs to be deleted and rebuilt for Lollipop.

That's what I tryed first but it didn't work,
First step.... flash SM-G900P_OA6_FullRestore.
(on boot i have samsung galaxy s5 screen with blue letters at the top saying recovery booting and it loops.)
sense that didn't work i tryed... SM-G900P_NI3-Full_Restore_Unrooted (Compressed Archive)
(on boot i have samsung galaxy s5 screen with blue letters at the top saying recovery booting and it loops.)
then i tryed SM-G900P_OA6_FullRestore. again but still no luck im out of ideas
I cant get to any recovery.
please help.

Are you using the wrong terminology? You have to use Odin and a PC to install the .tar. Also, the first boot into Lollipop can take about 20 minutes. You have to be patient. I see you posting in different threads and you seem to be digging deeper into a hole.
Are you using Odin and starting by downloading (to PC) the file in step #4? Then follow the remaining steps "exactly". Re-read those instructions and if you not already downloaded the needed files, do that first.

Try this: Do a battery pull, then put the phone in Download mode, hook up to PC and then open Odin and then Odin custom recovery, either twrp or Philz. Uncheck auto reboot in odin and once it passes, pull the battery, unplug and boot into recovery. Also, you might update Odin, there's a link to Odin 3.10.0 in my post. Let's see if we can get that far and go from there.

Which recovery tar did you Odin? You pulled the battery after Odin said PASS, then unplugged the phone, put battery back in and immediately tried to get into recovery? If so, I'm stumped.

I saw your post count, I knew you knew what you're doing, just wanted to double check everything. Sorry, I'm out of ideas. I did ask @tdunham to take a look at this thread, if he has some other ideas, but he's offline right now. Hopefully he'll check in later.

What about flashing back to an older version of android? Full tar flash.

Like ne5, and nothing else, just see if you can get stock to boot, no messing around trying to flash recovery.

This is RWillco12's NE5 stock.. Have the phone in download mode and run the .exe
Thanks TD.

I tryied ni3 already
but as far as i know you cant downgrade the bootloader.
if i could flash just the bootloader for ota6 maybe that would help.
i will try downloading ne5 now but my last rom was running a nkd modem.
im going to try and flash G900P_NKD_FullRestore.tar in odin if that dont work ill try ne5
and will report back shortly.
well nkd full restore boots up to
unknowen error!
wait..
done!
udc start.
power reset or
unknown
upload mode.
this is the way i got it back from retech after they replaced my bezel and digitlizer and screen
i never had an issue with anything software wize before that.

Have you tried flashing the phone without any sim cards inserted including the sprint card? You are flashing from a powered off state right? You know it wont work unless phone is powered off before going into download mode.
As a last resort attached is the pit file for the 16gb G900P. Unzip and put it into the pit section of odin and flash the stock firmware again. It will repartition the entire phone when it flashes the stock image.

Yes I was using the pit file and yes I know to go to download mode from power off state. and no sim card is in the phone.
flashing ne5 stock with fingers crossed.
brb
nope
is there any bootloaders only i can flash?
well tryed everything all it does is vibrate 2 times. same as be4 im dead in the water. i don't know what's wrong or what to do.
I have tryed everything i can think of.
I can boot to download mode and flash anything i want but nothing works.
no recovery. no rom.

tried to install a 6.0.1 rom and ****ed up my phone so bad.

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.

When I turn my phone on, it reboots over and over again, HELP PLEASE!

So I used my galaxy note edge SM-N915F for 6 months with no problem, but I did the Marshmallow 6.0.1 update and now it doesn't work. As I said in the title when I try to start it reboots over and over again.
Any suggestions?? It opens only downloading mode and I flashed a rom(official russian Marshmallow 6.0.1 rom) with Odin and it didn't work.
Please help me! Thanks in advanced!

When using the correct button combination are you able to enter recovery or does it continue to bootloop? Power, Home and Volume Up is used to enter recovery. When you attempted to flash the stock firmware through Odin, where did you download the stock firmware from?

Yes, it continue to bootloop even when I try to open in recovery mode. I succesfully entered recovery mode only one time and was able to full wipe, full cache the phone. This is after the flashing. I flashed the stock firmware a week ago and I actually don't remember where I downloaded it from. Thanks for your interest.

Most firmwares are available from sammobile.com. Which version of Odin are you using? Also, when you performed the flash through Odin, did Odin show the flash to be successful on the progress window? Was your Note Edge rooted or did you have a custom recovery installed before the bootloop issue started?

I used Odin3. Yes, Odin showed me the flash to be successful. My Edge didn't rooted before and I didn't have a custom recovery. I had an official software. I actually want to add an screenshot but XDA doesn't let me.

Have you tried a different version of Odin to perform the flash? I have 3.07 and 3.10 and sometimes one version will work perfectly and the other will show a successful flash but the device will still bootloop. Check which version you have and then download a different one to test with. That may be your issue.
Also, can you enter recovery at all anymore? If you try to enter recovery several times in a row during the bootloop process you may be able to access it after a few attempts. If you can enter recovery, wipe data/factory reset for me. Then attempt to boot. If it loops again, download the official firmware from sammobile.com and flash it with your original version of Odin. If it still loops, then flash it again with the different version of Odin. Lemme know how it goes. I'll do what I can to help.

I tried different Odin versions but it didn't work. I can flash rom succesfully but after the flashing it doesn't open in recovery mode. It bootloops. Once, it opened in recovery mode and I did wipe data/factory reset after first flashing and it didn't work. Now, it still doesn't open anyway except Downloading Mode.

I used 5.1.1 to before I accepted the MM OTA and I didn't have any p roblem with 5.1.1. I tried to flash different type of 6.0.1 after the problem. Just, problem started with the MM OTA. I will try to flash 5.1.1. So, I guess I need to enter recovery to wipe data/factory reset before flashing 5.1.1 but I can not because it still bootloop. How can I do wipe data/factory reset?
Edit1: And I readed somewhere, they said that it is about the kernel? Is it possible?
Edit2: A few minutes ago, I succeeded to enter recovery mode, I did factory reset and phone still bootloop. It doesn't open. Now, I am downloading the 5.1.1. I will try to flash 5.1.1.
Edit3: I tried a lot of times but it is still same. I flashed the 5.1.1 with different versions of Odin. I successful with flashed it but phone wants to enter in recovery mode after flashing and it bootloops. It is trying to enter recovery mode all time but it doesn't work. Sometimes, on charge, it close to enter the recovery mode. I said in edit2 I succeeded to enter recovery mode, but I didn't say that it was on charge because I discover this now. So, I don't know what I have to do, I am waiting for your suggestions.

Let's see if we can get your Note Edge into safe mode without bootlooping. Use these steps:
Turn on safe mode
Turn the device off.
Press and hold the Power and Volume down key.
Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode.
I have read a few forums and notes about booting into safe mode can stop the bootloop. Once it's successfully booted into safe mode we can attempt to boot normally. Give it a shot and I'll keep researching. Good luck.

I tried a lot of times but it didn't work. I tried on charge, without charge, with different cables but still bootloop. It is just like a joke.
I tried with Kies but Kies didn't see my edge. It didn't connect. On the Kies window, it said "connecting..." so I waited about 2 hours and it didn't connect. Then, I tried to emergency firmware recovery, it didn't see my edge again.

Download Samsung Smart Switch and see if it recognizes your device.

Do you have your friends device with you and a PC to use? Was your friend trying to root the device or install a custom recovery or a custom ROM when this happened?
Or, did your friend accept the OTA for 6.0.1 MM and then ended up in a bootloop after installing the OTA?

What version of Odin are you using to flash the factory firmware? Try to flash the firmware with a different version of Odin.
Also, you said the flash was unsuccessful using Odin. Was there an error message in Odin at the bottom left corner of the screen? If so, what was the error? I have had several flashes fail using one version of Odin but pass with a different version.
Also, what version of Android was your friends device using before you tried to flash the 6.0.1 firmware? If the device was running 5.1.1, have you tried to flash a 5.1.1 firmware with Odin?

I have used Odin version 1.85 then tried with Odin v3.11.1 , the flash succeeded no errors but the phone stayed as is .. Actually, he doesn't know the android version of his phone before it bricked. Are u suggesting that I should try to flash a 5.1.1?

Search for Odin 3.07 and 3.10. I use both of these versions. When all else fails for me I use 3.07 and it always seems to work for me. Also, I'm betting it was running 5.1.1 because 6.0.1 hasn't been out that long for the Saudi Arabian Note Edge. I would flash the 5.1.1 stock firmware using Odin 3.07 and see if it will allow you to boot normally. Let me know how it goes. Good luck.

Dammit man. Ill keep looking through my Samsung stuff and see what I can find. I sent my cousin an email yesterday who works for Samsung in their Tier 3 Technical Support/Case Management Group and asked her for some help. I'm really curious as to what she has to say on the subject. When it comes to a Samsung Galaxy or Note device she is a PRO. When I run into an issue with any of my Samsung devices that I can't fix, I call or email her. Keep working on it and we will find a solution.

G930F - flashed wrong recovery. Have I got any chances?

Hi guys,
I have flashed SD recovery over Exynos (idiot - I know!)
Have I got any chances to recover the device?
I have got g930f.
Bootloops at Samsung Galaxy S7 logo.
Will boot to download mode, visible in odin but upon flashing anything it will immediately restart and odin will FAIL.
Anything to revive this brick?
Thanks!

Hi mate
Probably yes....
You could try to reflash the correct recovery first.....
Custom like TWRP
Check here
Or the original one
Check here
Worse case scenario flash a stock rom (odin) Use all 4 files AP, BL, CP and home_csc to try to save your data ( has to be the same as you have in your phone now) or CSC this will give you a clean installation
Check here

Thank you,
For whatever reason - donwload mode is somehow corrupted. As soon as I'm starting to flash anything it fails and restarts the phone...
Any other options I could possibly have?
Thanks!

What error do you get in Odin, check the logs.
Did you try flashing from another PC
re install driver
Un install Kies or smart swicth
Different USB cable
What odin version are you using

Nope, I haven't tried different pc/cable as the very same pc was ok to flash wrong recovery 5min earlier...
I don't have kies installed, I just had samsung drivers which were always working for me.
I am 100% positive its not pc fault just me being an idiot...
I am using odin 3.12
Thank you

We are all idiots at one point or another
Just want to point out different reason why odin may fail...
See what error do you get when flashing with Odin...and what files are you using when it fails to flash

I can't check it right now ( I'm at work) but it basically gives me fail on red backdrop. Can't remember what it says in the log, but definitely says Success: 0/ fail: 1
Last file I tried to flash was whole system rom. Just before that, I tried to flash TWRP for s7 exynos - the correct one but it failed. And, of course, it all started with flashing incorrect twrp which went through perfectly :/
Thanks

When you get home, just try installing "Samsung Smart Switch" (it's no longer Kies) (http://www.samsung.com/sg/support/smartswitch/Smart_Switch_pc_setup.zip)
I understand that you already have drivers on your PC, but the Samsung Smart Switch might come with some updated drivers for your Samsung S7, which might change the scenario. Installing that, plus using another version of Odin (run it as Admin). I used this one just today. (http://dl.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.11.1.zip)
If the flashing the recovery still fails, try flashing Stock rom under AP like suggested earlier. If that still fails.
Use Samsung Smart Switch's "Emergency recovery" but do the Initialization (2nd tab) by inputting your Phone model and let Smart Switch download the official firmware from Samsung's servers.
This must be done while your phone is in Download mode, so make sure you have enough juice to wait out the download process.
Good luck!
