Knox Bootloader?

Didnt know there was an ND5. There wasnt even an ND5 when I downloaded the kernel source code from samsung. And nope, There like 2 knox files in the entire firmwares which is just left behind crap I believe. Absolutely does not give you a knox bootloader and crap tho. Do make sure your tablet is a T230NU model and not just a T230 model.

Thanks a lot for this. So if I'm rooted and want to install system updates I would first backup data to sd card via titanium ,(or to pc?) , then factory restore via settings, Odin with this firmware, install updates, then vroot + terminal supersu, then restore backups.... correct? I'm still trying to figure out what bloatware is safe to remove...a guide on how to clean a out of the box tab 4 7.0 would be greatly appricated....

Will this Root my T230NU?
Hi, I am new to the Android market and I was wondering if this "stock" image will root my Samsung Galaxy 4 T230NU.
I am a formerly iDevice owner and I am quite familiar with Jailbreaking.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Ed,
I'm kind of new as well however I can tell you that this process will not root it. In my case, because I updated the software I had to use the stock Rom in order to downgrade and then root it. ShinySide explains the.. Rooting procedure in another post

thanks!

The downloads dont work
I try to donaload the file and it just stops and goeas from one percent to another and never finishes.....is their another way to get these files besides that crappy website?

I just used these links to download the firmware and they worked great. Mega took 1/3 as much time to pull from as Sammobile. Thank you Shinyside! You are awesome. If I wasn't a broke college kid I'd would def donate.
---------- Post added at 01:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ----------
So I rooted my Tab 4 7" and then decided to switch to Nexus 7 and sell my Tab 4. Both great devices but the specs and updates draw me to try Nexus after the Tab. Anyway, I went to Sammobile to get the Stock rom and inadvertently ended up with the Nook version. OOOPS. Had to reflash but the second firmware I downloaded from Sammobile (at about 1 hour each, ugh) kept failing. Even after wiping the Cache and resetting I could not flash with Odin. Tried placing the image on the SD and installing in Recovery and still no luck. Then I turned to the ONLY source for self support of Android and found ShinySide with the stuff I needed. Downloaded with the Mega link which took 20+ min instead of an hour and it flashed straight away and my Tab 4 is back to being a Tab 4 instead of a Nook. Just wanted to give props to ShinySide for his efforts on behalf of the community and his patience to put up with noobs even when they do/say silly stuff!

Thank you so much!!
Ive been trying to download this file from all these crappy sites and they keep timing out thank you so much.

Thanks for the great info.
Will this restore stock recovery as well as remove root?
I need to return my device and thus need it fully stock

@ShinySide feel free to add these to the OP if you want

tried rooting and somone got stuck at loading screen with device name and powered by android screen....stuck there and got odin to load and apparently flash the stock but im still stuck...

thank you
HI so i tried installing twrp recovery for my SM-t230NU And it got stuck in bootloop after trying to load custom recovery. Not a single Tar file md5 file worked until i got this rom and USED odin to install it. Odin just kept crashing on me till I got here and used the md5 file provided. It pushed the files while in download mode and rebooted and even still had all my apps and email going.
Again thank you so much and please reply if you have the same device and need help. I thought i bricked my Christmas present.

[HELP] FWRP soft-brick help

Well I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S6 from Verizon and I tried to install TWRP on it so I could do some backup stuff but it appears doing so soft bricked my device but sadly I'm trapped as all methods to unbrick my device have failed but mostly because Odin always gets stuck at "NAND Write Start!!" when trying to flash the stock firmware, all other guides seem to not help unfortunately, so I'm coming here looking for help

What is FWRP? Did you mean TWRP?

Yes I did, my apologies. I typed this thread up while looking for the "Verizon Wireless Software Upgrade Assistant - Samsung" software to see if that will fix it but sadly can't find it anywhere

You can get in DL mode, so I would think there's a way to use ODIN. Hold tight and let me research something.

So far from what I read is if Odin gets stuck at the nand write then the partitions are screwed up but I have no idea where the find a PIT file to re-partition the phone

We only have root. Not an unlocked boot loader. You should have read more but let's pray that you can Odin back to stock

Hmm well I tried 3.10 and it got past nand write, lets see if it actually works though as I'm unsure if the stock firmware is correct as I had to dive deep into the net to find it as the same firmware here lead me to a web page that took forever to lead then didn't provide a download link

Well I un-bricked the phone I had to do some real digging to find the stock firmware that wasn't on a website that limits your speed to like 20kb/s

Same thing had happened to me. I posted the fix on a couple threads here (which was the same - needed the newest odin). Nice that we're both back in working order.

Try to use Smart Switch

Just plug the phone to PC in download mode and rescue it via Smart Switch. It'll download the right firmware for your device and flash it automatically.
Here's how you can do it;

How did it go?
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

First of all, thanks for the help! i went with the smart switch but i'm stuck on a problem.
it asks me the serial number of the mobile, since i dont have the box with me how can i find out the serial number?
i used the volume up - home - power on button, i went to the recovery mode. wipe data etc doesn't work (i knew this already).
but i went to recovery mode to go into the logs and try to find the serial number. i did find "ro.serialno= xxx"
tried this one but got "invalid serial" ... where can i find the correct one?
lucky me.
Ps. stock original samsung with android 5.1

The easiest solution.. Download the whole correct firmware for your s6 from sammobile or samfirm or whateve and flash it via odin.. It will resume working perfectly. .

Flashing a stock firmware will not void your warranty, unless you Knox has already been tripped IMHO
Sent From my SM-G928F via Tapa

the easiest solution sounded like using smart switch. however since i don't have access to the serial (arggh.. the most simple thing ever) i can't use it.
I am going to try to go with prince mohit advice.

Hello,
I do need some help now. I believe i've followed all directions, but am not having success.
Again, my device is a Samsung N8000 Note 10.1. Purchased from Eplus Germany
I have read the directions in how to use Odin, and have followed them precisely.
Drivers installed.
Original Firmware downloaded (N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar). But, in the compresesed file that I downloaded there was also another file (SS_DL.dll). Anyone know what this means?
I copied both files into the directory of Odin v3.12.13.
began Odin, then put the tablet into download mode, then connected it to my computer. There was a sound from my computer recognizing the tablet.
I then added the file firmware file (N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar) into Odin under the AP tab. I checked that the re-partiton box was not checked, then klicked onto Start. But Odin failed after about 3 seconds.
Can anyone please help me here?
thanks.

Use tar file only .
<I copied both files into the directory of Odin v3.12.13.>Never heard of that before .
At a guess Odin cannot find the file or its not connected ID Box in odin shows as connected

Hello, sorry but i need some more help here please.
I've downloaded what i believe is the stock firmware for my device from updato.com: GT-N8000_EPL_1_20150303173500_n47626s3xd
This is a zipped package with two file in it:
N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar.md5
and
SS_DL.dll
I've put both of these files into the directory where ODIN is. I have downloaded and tried serveral ODIN versions: v1.85, v3.10.6, v3.12.7, v3.12.3, v3.07
None of them work. After loading the tar file, ODIN begins, then after about 3 seconds stops and show the message "fail".
Attached is a screen shot of ODIN once i've loaded the tar file, and one that shows after the fail.
I've also added a picture of my note 10.1 N8000 while in download mode.
Anyone can help me here?
thanks.

Download file .
Unzip file .
Put file on desktop .
Open Odin
Locate tar file only and add to PDA or AP
firmware that you are trying to install is a downgrade and the secure bootloader (sboot) is blocking it.

Hello, and thanks.
What you have described above is exactly what i am doing. Are you saying that the reason it does not work is because the bootloader is blocking it? If so, how do i get around this?
I would really like to "upgrade", rather than downgrade. But at the moment i cannot find any other firmwares for my device. A few years ago I saw several ones, but not anymore.
Do you have a suggestion of which firmware I should install, and where i can get this?
Again, thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate it.

[EFS corruptes] S8+ G955F

Hello dear users,
I`m facing a very big problem with my g955f. For a while i had 7.0 on my device but yesterday i decided i should update to 8.0. I flashed the latest 8.0 stock (BL, AP, CP, CSC) from sammobile and everything worked great. Problem appeared when i tried to install supersu and it got into a bootloop. I flashed again 8.0, this time without BL because i've got the error "SW REV. CHECK FAIN(BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1". After device booted up there was NO IMEI...s'o i think something happened with efs partition. Then i tried a fix from another thread and now i get "efs mount failed (invalid argument) after i flash a rom and the phone restarts".
I know i know, i should have made a backup...
The question is, does anybody know how to solve this problem ? Maybe from where to get an efs dump (even with IMEI 000....)
sorry, my english may not be so good
Thank you !

there is only way to get imei back is Z3X box if someone on mobile shop have it otherwise you need to send it to service centre with your recipe & mobile box.

maybe you`re luckier than me and your efs partition is just corrupted not deleted and combination file will fix it

How can i check that? Do you fix your problem?

No.... still not fixed because efs partition is deleted. What is your phone actual problem ?null imei or it doesn't even boot up ?

I have this stock S8+ Official Oreo CRAP Firmware 14.02.2018, but i can´t find the combination files for it.
It does boot up, but it doesn´t give signal and when i look up in settings for the imei it says unkwon. How can i be shure that the efs partition is deleted?

Oreo comes with U2 version of bootloader. This means you can`t use combination files that have been made for 7.0 bootloader (U1). Yesterday i found a combination file for U2 version. I'll share the link with you but right now i'm at work and i don`t find that link. When i'll be at home(8hours) i'll post the link here(i saved it in bookmarks). Chances for recovering your imei are very high i think. Until then please don't make something stupid with your phone like i did....
LE: if the phone is booting up then i think your efs is just corrupted

Yeah....i`m desperate too....i messed up an expensive and a high end phone.....but that's it....we're learning from our own mistakes ). I think that is the file i'm saying (check if it has "U2" in its name). Download it, flash it with odin (put the file in AP), wait until the flashing process is done and that "gears screen" is on, and wait. After that flash the stock 8.0 oreo and the imei should be back. Hope this helps you. I can't give you an exact method to see if efs is corrupted or deleted.....like you i'm a newbie with all this architecture of android...

I used the combination file and show me the imei so i think it was just corrupted. But when i try to flash stock in odyn https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/development/rom-galaxy-s8-t3749444 this version, it says device 2 binarie 1 error. So flash without check BL. But then the device doesnt boot and gets stuck in first screen. What can i do?

There`s nothing you can do. Your only option is to stay with 8.0. You can't downgrade the bootloader from U2 or U1 because U2 security policies seems to not be ok with this ). I left my device at a service twenty minutes ago to reflash an efs dump from another 955f....hope they will make it.... anyway, congrats for reviving your device

This message means that your actual bootloader version is newer than the one you want to flash and because security policies you can`t flash an older version. You'll have to flash latest stock 8.0 (bl,ap,cp,csc).
