[ROOT] [TWRP] [UNBRICK] Samsung J3 (2016) J320FN - Miscellaneous Android Development

So, i got a new J320FN, i hard bricked it after trying to flash a custom recovery and root it.
I figured everything out and i unbricked it, and on top of that i installed TWRP and SuperSU.
I made this package, that includes everything that i used to unbrick + root it, and i also made the tutorial:
"THE PACKAGE"
This is what you can find in the package:
Unbrick/Stock Android TAR.MD5 Files (for J320FN).
Multiple Partition PIT files (for every version of the phone).
Hidden.img.tar file (for J320FN).
Hidden.img PIT file (for J320FN).
TWRP Recovery (for every version of the phone - only tested on J320FN).
Odin v3 (for every Samsung Phone).
ADB Drivers, Samsung USB Drivers.
Hit the :good: Thanks button if this helped you <3

And also guys, if you could make a mirror for the package, it would be great.
My internet connection is limited so i can't upload it to another site, and Dropbox is limited, so...

Do u have those files for the j320p?

Nope, i only have the PIT file for it, and i also included it in the package.
To get the ZIP file (that includes the .tar.md5 files) please go to
https://service-gsm.net/Samsung/J320P/J320PVPU1AOL2_SPT1AOL2.zip/
and buy the file for $2, it works (btw, post the files here so other people won't need to pay)
Btw you need to find this file:
ALL_SPT_J320PVPU1AOL2_J320PSPT1AOL2_CL6363917_QB7487813_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

[SOLVED] [Q] 32GB PIT for GT-P5100?

Hi All
I have searched and searched but can not find a 32GB PIT file for my GT-P5100 (obviously 32GB version).
I need this since I was stupid enough to use a 16GB version while flashing (I know, was pretty stupid hey?)
The tab works 100% with 4.1 JB, just minus 16GB worth of storage!
Can ANYONE please let me know where to find a 32GB version partition file? (the Sammobile site only has 8GB and 16GB)
- OR can I use another type Samsung Tab PIT file?
Thanks for ANY help...
EDIT: This is solved, read on to see some epic assistance!

			
				
Hi. Did you use a PIT file when you flashed the ROM? If not, then I think you don't need one to put back your original partitioning neither - just try to flash back the original ROM (if you made a backup), or a ROM from the Development section which is exactly for the P5100 32GB. At least that's what I would try, as using PIT file is very risky, especially from a different device model.
What ROM did you flash btw? If it's a custom ROM, you could also ask the developper for a solution.
UNless you actually flashed a PIT file or checked off the repartition flag in oDIN then nothing should have affected your storage layout.

Thanks for the help, I however did use the PIT file (still not sure why I did!) I also went back to the original ROM to see if somehow this would help. The Tab works without any issues, just partitioned to 16GB
I flashed with official rom, XXCLI5
oh, then I think you're right, using the original PIT file would be the best option... (unless there are system commands that allow repartitioning, but I couldn't find anything).
here you find some explanations about the PIT files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999097
then you might want to check this post, it gives a lead for a solution (even two - someone with unmodified partitions extracts for you the original pit file of the tablet, OR use this PIT file editor ):

Hi
I have a pit file for you because I have the same problem. To make a long story short I retrieved it from a working 32GB p5100. I varified the PIT file by using PIT Magic to compare it to the 16GB version. Unfortunately for some reason I cannot get odin to partition my P5100 with this PIT file. I assure you it is the correct file. See if you can use ODIN to install this file. If you are unsure if it is the correct file download pit magic PIT_Magic_v1.3.10_Release to varify.
Pit file attached !!!!!! Used txt to upload. rename type to pit
See if you have any luck repartitioning your internal SD. I think that if we can find the correct stock rom the re-partitioning will be possible.
If you can get this pit file to do what it is supposed to let me know. In the meantime at least we have the correct PIT file.

Thanks guys, will try this PIT and keep you posted...

For interest, what Odin version are you using? I tried with 1.87
Also looked at the PIT file in PIT Magic, as you mentioned it does look ok. (LOOKS ok, I also compared this with the 8gb and 16 gb versions)
btw, Happy 2013 all!

This PIT file really works!!! A great thanks to author. But, for it became work you need modify it. First, you need to change file ext from .txt to .pit. Next, open this file by any hex-editor (i used HxD editor for this purposes) and remove all zeros in the end of file (C6 D6 48 F6 must be last bytes in the file). Save file and answer YES in change file size dialog. Now size of file should be 2132 bytes. Now You can use this file by ODIN with repartition option checked. After programming You must to boot into recovery mode (power on with volume down buttons) made swipe\factory and swipe\cache. Now space goes back.
I tested this half our ago on my P5100 which I was programmed with 16GB pit.
regards
Just wandering : what append if you would use PIT from 32Gb instead of 16 on a 16Gb tab?

Here is the working pit file zipped after the input from the "RUSSIAN WIZZARD"
USE ODIN 3V1.7
STEPS
UNZIP ATTACHED ZIP P5100_32GB modded.zip
LAUNCH ODIN
SELECT PIT, SELECT REPARTITION, SELECT ROM OF YOUR CHOICE.
DESELECT REBOOT
UNPLUG AND REBOOT MANUALLY AFTER ROM COMPLETION BY HOLDING IN POWER AND VOLUME DOWN INTO RECOVERY MODE
DO FACTORY RESET
YOUR P5100 SHOULD NOW BE A 32GB TAB AGAIN.
ALL THE BEST

[Q] twrp install question

I'm trying to install the new version of twrp that was just released yesterday for my note pro 12.2, WiFi.
I'm using the Odin method.
When I download the twrp file to my windows p.c., there is no file extension so it doesn't show up in Odin.
Am l to simply rename this file? And what to? tar.md5?
Also should I use the PDA button when flashing the twrp file in Odin?
Take the time to read this thread ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706982

[official][stock] sm-g360v

DISCLAIMER: Since this is a third-party supplied file, flashing this file places any and all outcomes on YOU, the flasher (get your mind out of the gutter, thanks.) This file, though supplied by Samsung Kies 3, may cause issues or have undesirable effects. What these effects are, I have no clue. If you have a custom recovery, it will be overwritten with the stock recovery. Again, if you use this, you are the one responsible for any negative outcome.
​This the official stock ROM flashable via Odin. This took me a few hours to download several times and locate the temp directory that housed it. It is a 2.12 gig tar.md5 file. Since Samsung does not have an open source copy for us to download, I used Kies 3 to download it.
FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS:
Using the most recent Odin, put the file in the AP section and flash it.

Thank you so much it fixed my bricked device!
Thank you so much - Accidentally upgraded firmware and lost root and could not re-root. Worked like a charm and used kingroot to gain root again. You rock!
It downloads as a .RAR file if converted to .TAR, ODIN can not load it. How can the .rar file be used by ODIN?

The flashable .Tar file that you will use to restore your device via Odin, is located inside the .RAR provided in the download link. Once the .RAR file has been unrared/unzipped using 7zip, you will have your restore .Tar file that you're referring to. If you need to, you can Google 7zip and download it. The program is free and open-source, and it supports .RAR .TAR .ZIP etc. Happy Restore!
@jaywillsoul Please add to the OP that this firmware will wipe the device.
Thanks again for the firmware!

I downloaded the firmware, began to flash and Odin wrote "FAIL", and the screen after turning on is "Software update failed. Your device didnt update successfully. Use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant on a computer to repare your device and complete the update." But the Verizon Software Repair Assistant after this can not find the phone.
Thank you for this wonderful gift to the underdeveloped Core Prime! :good: worked for me and I was able to root afterwards!
is that process unlock the sim card lock for Verizon
ty it work's. I can root now
Sorry to bump this thread, but will updating through recovery mode end up wiping all the data of the phone? (like pictures, and files)
I was dumb and didn't enable usb debugging before my phone got soft bricked, now it freezes on the carrier animation
My phone is a model SM-G360T1

First ever attempt to upgrade my tab and failed! Need some direction

With much embarrassment I have to admit I really thought I was smarter than a tablet and a few simple clicks. Apparently not. So now I am here with issues that I am sure someone can answer because your more advanced than a few clicks and a tablet.
I have briefly looked for a resolve to my issue but it is very overwhelming. So if you can just point me in the right direction and hold my hand at the same time I would be very appreciative :good:
Issues:
I originally downloaded Odin, GT-P5113 4.0.4, CM 12.1, CW Unofficial Touch 6.0.3.3 p5100 zip. I launced Odin and followed the steps from a you-tube video. Well upon my surprise CW was not on the tablet so I was at the Tabs generic recovery screen. I choose the option to delete all user data ( lots of no's to select from and one Yes). Well continuing to be a fool I completed this process. When the tablet rebooted I was stuck at the Samsung logo screen. I decided to get to the download screen and install smt810_cf_autoroot.tar. After loading this tar via Odin I became stuck on the Android man downloading screen. Waited a bit and nothing. Then my tablet shut down and came up with "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue" with the tablet-yellow ! icon and pc icon.
Another issue is when i download these files Odin will not find them in my file. Why? I usually keep them unzipped as a .rar in order for odin to show them so I can select PDA and attempt to install them.
Is there a way to still upgrade the Android system and fix this Firmware error at the same time?
Basically I am so new to this I need specific directions on resolving my issue. So if anyone has a moment please help me out here. I appreciate your time and knowledge
And I can use Odin to install to the tablet. If that helps Just not in the download screen on the tablet.

first you should download the stock firmware of your device, if it's p5113 then search and download the same firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203309 check this thread if it's there, if it's not please google it, if already have it, ignore..
Once you have it, you should get the firmware md5 file (by unzipping the rar.) Odin will take tar file or md5 file. put it in Odin AP/PDA check the thread for all the details on how to flash correctly.
you have to get into download mode by pressing the power and volume up/right to do that once the firmware is successfully flashed and your tab starts running again. first get this part done.
Always use files that are meant only for your device. if your tab say p5113. then make sure the file you are flashing states it is meant for p5113 and not p5100. (maybe not in the rooting case cause it's same
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203309 here for all)
At some places you will find files marked as p51xx. those files are generally safe too and are meant for the p51xx tab series but that is later stage.
I appreciate the feedback and have found I had tried to flash my tablet with GT-P5110 software when i actually have a GT-P5113TS. I have found the firmware but my issue is when I download anything and extract it with using rar. I never get a .tar file or anything Odin can not recognize to select PDA and use.. What would cause that? How do I fix this?
Thank You

Try winrar or 7zip, it should extract, you need md5 or tar format in pda section. If not what error are you getting? There must be some file when you open the archive?
Basically when I download the zip file I want and then extract it to a specific folder. All I after unzipping is File folders with other file folders inside,Img, File, PROP, and SH. I never extract anything that is a Tar file or anything Odin can recognize when on PDA within Odin. Plus a lot of times I click on a link for a download off this site and it sends me to some watch-movies website. Not a actual download. Or I am just missing it.

Maybe it's a bad link to your stock file then. Perhaps someone can give proper file link to the stock firmware. Inside the zip it's basically a md5 file for firmware to flash. Sadly I don't have a proper yoi will have to find of the net.

Problem flashing s6 stock image

Hi guys
I wonder could anyone help me. I'm trying to flash a stock ROM on my s6 with ODIN. It goes so far and then fails on hidden.img I've researched it and the solution found here seems to have worked for most people. My problem is i cant get Odin to recognise the hidden.img.tar file - it just cant see it. I've tried all sorts of ways and i rename it as described and odin just wont recognise it in the right format. Please can someone help me? Just for the record what i do is:
The main image file i open with winrar. I get 8 files. i select the hidden.img file and extract and rename it as per the article. Odin i then select ap and point it at the location and it just wont find it. Odin 3.10.7 and windows 7 and windows 10
