[Q] Bricked Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8013-Help.Thankyou.Love you.

Hello Fellow Sammies,
I'm Nico and i have a 2 week old (Got it like January 4th 2013) Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 N8013 it came shipped with the latest OS, which is guess is 4.1.1 (i just know it was the latest). i wanted to be cool and decided that i wanted to soup up my note and i was going through alot and needed something to absorb my attention. i was able to root my phone. I installed ODIN onto PC and then flashed Clockwork Mod and SUSuperuser. Everything was fine. then i wanted a mod. I was thinking of getting cyanogenmod but there was no stable ones available, i also tried other mods but they were all failures. but thinking that one of them would work and following directions on one of the forums i installed GAPPS (Google Play). after this i was no longer able to use Google play. but i didn't know how to fix it (and still don't). i used an app (that i can't remember the name of) that changed googly play into a smiley face app but it didn't fix the accessibility i was getting an RH-01 error. I, by the way, am owner of a Samsung Galaxy SII and i have no problems on it, not with wifi or google play accesibility, runs like a breeze but i also have never tried to soup it up so it still has factory settings.
I decided that no matter what i was going to get google play to work becuase there are things that i want from it. i have a wokring gmail address by the way but Google play is just not accepting/not connecting to it and my Internet is honky dorrie. i decide that it has to be something in my internal card that is causing the google play not to work so i begin deleting some stuff, veyr careful to only delete files from games or things that i know wouldn't have any ramifications (not a total noob). Then i wiped all caches, reset factory settings using CWM. YAY? no...no YAY. i restart my Note 10.1 and i get the first samsung screen (the screen where you hold volume up button to boot CWM) and then i hear the samsung start up music...BUT..THERE...IS...NO...SAMSUNG LOGO, no updating applications, no nothing...just a black lit screen. Frownie faces all over the place...sad. please help me. i have no idea what i have done to it. but i needs ma baby. i would be super appreciative. thankyou all sammies beforehand and i hope i made sense.:silly:
ps. i have no problem going back to the boring old factory settings, screw all my information and apps and stuff...erase it all...so don't worry about providing an answer that includes me saving my information because i don't care since there was nothing really on it anyways. i just want it (the note) to work again.
Quick info:
1.) ODIN recognizes the note
2.) i am able to go to Download mode
3.) i am able to Flash things using ODIN
4.) it is charging and keeping charge
5.) i am able to use CWM
6.) Samsung Music but No Samsung Logo upon boot, the black screen just hangs and hangs (kept it on for like an hour with no boot)

Did you make a backup beforehand? Since I didn't see it referenced I'm assuming you didn't. If you are able to flash through Odin then a reflash of the original firmware should fix it just fine.

Way way out there, but beautiful rottie. unhijacking thread now. Sorry

Ok if you can install CWM here is what you should do
Factory Reset
Wipe Cache
Advance Settings - Clear Davlink Cache & Fix Permissions
Mounts & Storage - Format all except your external SD card
Also what is the source of the firmware make sure it is stock firmware
Then using ODIN try installing the firmware should work if not then god bless you

Thanks all
Thank you all so very very much. i am going to try all of these things, and re post if it works...seems to be a common problem...alright well not particularly common but it happens . Again thank you.

Really?!!!!

So what i will do is give people my process in numerical form because i know there are people that are running ragged with the same problem, mind you with MY problem, my Note wasn't bricked but it seemed that i messed up with some data files which was causing me to not get past the logo start up screen. I would see the first Samsung logo and then when it was time for the blue swirl Samsung logo to show all i got was the music and a continuing black screen, not a "shut-off" black screen but a "sorry, try again later" black screen. A lit black screen if you will like it was wanting to continue but didn't seem to know how. like i said i was able to get into download mode and ODIN recognized my Note each time, turning yellow. i was also able to download CWM every time without fail. KIES recognized that i had a Samsung device plugged in but didn't seem to know what to do with it. It was charging like normal. it also would not show up in "my computer" but it showed in Device Manager (which of course it would since i was still able to use ODIN and stuff). This is what i did, with those problems, listening to the kind guides of the experts that responded to my cry for help. plus you know what I'm gonna go step by step like people don't have ODIN and stuff.
HOW TO FIX A STUCK BOOT SCREEN ON GALAXY NOTE 10.1 N8013 4.1.2
1.) Download ODIN (just google it)
2.) FLASH ClockworkMOD (CWM) using ODIN to Device (just google it)
A.) Before pressing "START" Uncheck all options ( Auto-reboot, F-reset (re-partition should already be unchecked etc) Just hold the power button device to reset, it will reset on it's own upon start up
4.) Download Firmware Hotfile Linked By the Beautiful Samir who commented on this thread (just search for him). Make sure that fireware is designated for your particular device. No Samsung SIII firmware for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.
A.) Use the "Save to" Option not the "Open With" option...It's just better
5.) Enter Recovery Mode (CWM Mode) on device using the Power + Volume UP key
6.) Factory Reset Wipe
7.) Wipe Cache
8.) Advance Settings - Clear Davlink Cache & Fix Permissions
9.) Mounts & Storage - Format all except your external SD card (be careful and watch what your doing don;t want to delete anything else by mistake..cause you will be really..cough..upset)
A.) be forewarned that after these wipes you won't be able to get past the first Samsung logo screen, it will just remain there on the screen but have no fear it should be fixed when you download the Firmware. KAY. breathe easy.
B.) i mention this because my problem was that i was getting past the first Samsung logo but not past the second one, in the sense that it wasn't even appearing on the screen.
10.) Make sure that your USB drivers for Samsung are working, you can get the driver from Samsung site (Google it) or use KIES (Google it)
A.) if you use KIES i advise you to download it, get the Samsung USB drivers from it, then go to control panel on your desktop and Uninstall it, you can download it again later when your Note is working again but it seems to cause problems with ODIN, better safe than sorry i always say
11.) The Firmware can be a particularly long download, but once it is done and you have extracted it to a folder using WINRAR (remember the name of this folder) make sure that it is saved to your computer then shutdown and restart your computer
12.) Now with your newly restarted computer.........
1.) Open ODIN
2.) Put Samsung Note 10.1 into "Download Mode"
3.) Connect your Note to Computer using USB, it should make the ID:COM turn yellow
4.) Uncheck auto-reboot, F-reset etc
5.) go to PDA and look for the folder that you placed your firmware in :KIES_Blaahblaahblahh_blaah
6.) Press START
7.) you should see a download begin both on device and within ODIN....PASSSSSS (Green Box)
8.) Reset Computer Manually by pressing the power button
9.) turn back on Galaxy Note 10.1 and you should be all set
a.) don't be scared after you turn on your note and you get the Samsung logo and then the little android robot downloading some stuff (that is supposed to happen)
I want to say a Heartfelt Thank you to Samir and all the Developers as well as the Non-samir non-developers that helped me with their knowledge. thank you. thank you. thank you. Electronic Angels you all are. I'll try to be careful this time :victory:
I hope I was helpful with my breakdown of my process, because through my Google searches i wasn't able to find someone who had what i needed and i hope that i provided that to whatever hapless being about to have a bit of psychotic break at their black hanging screen. I'll be going on a long, internet-less vacation , So i won't really be able to respond to anyone after the 22 of January. but i'll get back to ya when i return. peace. love.harmony.:highfive:

So true only his tablet was clearly not BRICKED. Just borked up noob mistakes.
Glad it's fixed for ya . never flash without first knowledge of method back
Good luck

This worked for me
I couldn't get CWM to work either...I re-flashed the Stock rom, then went into regular Andriod Recovery. I then did a Data Wipe/Factory reset and wiped cache partition. Twice just to be sure..rebooted and it worked

5.) go to PDA and look for the folder that you placed your firmware in :KIES_Blaahblaahblahh_blaah
6.) Press START
7.) you should see a download begin both on device and within ODIN....PASSSSSS (Green Box)
8.) Reset Computer Manually by pressing the power button
9.) turn back on Galaxy Note 10.1 and you should be all set
a.) don't be scared after you turn on your note and you get the Samsung logo and then the little android robot downloading some stuff (that is supposed to happen)
I want to say a Heartfelt Thank you to Samir and all the Developers as well as the Non-samir non-developers that helped me with their knowledge. thank you. thank you. thank you. Electronic Angels you all are. I'll try to be careful this time :victory:
I hope I was helpful with my breakdown of my process, because through my Google searches i wasn't able to find someone who had what i needed and i hope that i provided that to whatever hapless being about to have a bit of psychotic break at their black hanging screen.

A lot of people seem to have had success on fixing their Android devices on this thread so maybe somebody here would be able to help me.
I have Galaxy note 10.1 GT-N8010. The problem started when I was trying to download a custom rom on my rooted device. I could not get into the cwm recovery mode by pressing power button + volume up button which I had flashed using Odin. I went into SuperSu and an option came up to put the device into recovery mode. I selected the option and from then on the device went into a constant boot loop. The Samsung logo would show up and then disappear and so on in a cycle.
I decided to flash a stock rom (which I downloaded from Sammobile) thinking the problem would go away. It resulted in the device being stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note logo. I have reflashed a different stock rom (one for France this time, as the previous one was for the UK) and the device is still stuck on the galaxy logo.
People seem to solve it by going into the recovery mode, but my device, Galaxy note 10.1 GT-N8010, cannot seem to do that. It can only go into the download mode.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Aniconico I can not find the firmware hotfile link you mentioned above I see the post by samir_a but I do not see a link or anything. Please help

[Q] 915FY Stuck Not Booting

Hi All,
I have a Note Edge 915FY. Tried to upgrade it to stock 5.0.1 via sammobile.com
It is now stuck. It just shows the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge screen and then flashes to "Recovery Booting" and just stays stuck there! For hours!
I have also tried to download 4.4.4 from sammobile.com and flash that but same thing happens. I cannot go into recovery, only into download mode.
I also tried to root it using CF-Autoroot but that failed.
Furthermore, I have tried flashing CWM and TWRP but both do nothing.
I am absolutely stuck! And I really need help!
PS: The phone has no warranty now, so I have no fallback! Please HELP!!!!!

I didn't have any luck flashing CF-AutoRoot when I was on Lollipop, I used CWM and it worked fine.
If your'e stuck go into ODIN mode (Power, Home + Down Vol) and then click up when prompted,
make sure your pc has samsung drivers installed
Download the stock 5.0.1 BOC2 ROM from this XDA page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/development/rom-stock-tw-lollipop-t3019721
(You can easily up to BOC6 or a hacked rom later)
Make sure to set Odin as shown in the picture from that same url above
http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.com/3/1/4/6/2/6/9/odin.PNG?key=DHp6BTdAsBVpoENIbV4DMw&ts=1431888807
This should work without any issues, I spent some cycles getting bootloops via cf-auto root and some funny ROM behaviour, I was always able to
use this to get me back to stock, root using cwm method then deploy whichever debloated rom you like !

Did you solve?
Try this (It works for me when my Note Edge was bricked):
On samsung kies 3 select "Tools --> Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" and follow the instructions.
It will ask for phone model (SM-N915FY or other) and for Serial Number S/N, this number is indicated under the battery (make attention to insert the number near S/N not near SSN).
After this It will ask to connect the phone in Download Mode and after it will start to download the firmware (more than 1GB) and will start the installation.

Boot into recovery , power + button + sound UP and clear cache and all reset.
Re do lollipop and you should be fine.
Happened to me but i worked it out after the panic stage....

I have tried this but weird enough for me, after I input the model number followed by the S/N number in Kies, I got a message "Initialization is not supported for SM-N915FY"
Its kind of fishy since the S/N input only appears after I gave Kies the Model number. If N915FY was not supported, why would they make me open up the back cover and look up for the S/N, make me type it letter by letter and then tell me 'Ok, no luck for you!'.
Any explanation and/or solution for me please? I only have 14 days of extensive researching experience, still left with a 'baseband unknown and null imei" note edge with no prior efs backup .

I think we got the same problems bro, i was very proud note edge user till two days a go, when sudden problems start to happen like restart, slowdown, loop, freeze and shoot of, later no more reboot from system menu that it just shoots of, and then latter hard to start, i had to take out battery and push start + home + volume down buttons about one minute and put back battery just to bring in to download mode and then volume down to start the in to system, and after screen is off it shots down again and again, and last time i put in to freeze to start it to see any missed calls or messages, but sens last night no way i can start any more!
I used to update apps from google and samsung store, and i em curious at this latest update, overnight was lot of data use, even in settings it was setup not to sync any data and not to use any data in background, only Viber app, so i assume there most have been sent to our phones some malware update to brick our old lovely phones, it is very possible.
Now, all i can do is to go to market to find broken screen note edge to purchase and replace motherboard, and i hope i find one not sim-locked.
So try to use Odin v3.07, and download the firmware from here https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-edge/firmware/#SM-N915FY ans flash it, hope you get back your phone, and if you need to root it, use TWRP v3.02.tar flash with odin to...so the rest of procedure i guess you know!

Today i found on local phone shop+ service one note edge with a bit broken screen, but it did start and stack on kind of "recovery booting", i realized the service or the owner did try to flash sort of room on it but not completed, i bought the phone sm-n915FY model for 30.euro, and now i just transferred the motherboard to my own phone and flashed the TWRP v3.02.tar successfully and let it charge first, bcz there was only 05% battery, and later i will see if i can restore the twrp backup, and i will be careful with this update apps from google and Samsung store the gmail, androidwebsecurity**, maps and browser.
Well, my phone works now, it's just the TWRP backup is not working correct, even i modified folder of the backup, i had pssword in backup and now when i restore seek pasword, i type correct, but the phone did encrypt it. so i have to start with new room setup.

Samsung galaxy S6: Recovery is not seandroid enforcing

I tried to root my sgs6 with an CF auto root. This didn't work because after the first reboot of my Phone I got the message:
"Recovery is not seandroid enforcing"
I've been looking on the internet and have seen several options which didn't work, including:
- Getting into recovery mode (home + on/of button + volume UP). This doesn't work somehow.
- Try to install stock firmware.
- Retry the same root
- Try a different root.
Also; connecting via Kies/Smart Switch gives me the reply that the S/N isn't valid. This however, is not true.
The biggest problem that I seem to have is connecting my phone to my computer properly. And I can't turn on 'USB debugging' anymore (I turned it on when I started with my root).
So maybe my first question is: How can I get my phone to connect with my computer properly?
And after that; How can I fix the failed root.
Additional info:
Model name: SM-G920F
Android 5.1.1. before I tried to root my phone.
If additional information is required, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
To better assist you, your thread will be moved to your device Q&A forum linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help
The experts there may be able to help. Good luck.

Not an expert, but I've got the same message in the top left corner on the bootscreen after installed TWRP trough Odin and flashing adam-kernel.
Does not interfere with my phone working though. Even SmartSwitch still recognises it. Maybe wrong version of autoroot?

We found the solution:
We downloaded the original stock firmware and installed it through odin. Some things we encountered during the solving:
- It failed on the hidden.img
- We had to extract that file and load it seperatly through odin.
At that point the phone kept resetting, but after removing the cable from the computer and charging it with the normal charger it booted like normal again. The android sign (which we saw before but the phone went rebooted all the time) stayed in the screen and after a couple of minutes it started installing.
After 10-15 minutes the phone worked again!
Tnxs for your efforts!

Only ODIN available to me!!

Hi folks, I’m not finding the CORRECT info on what I need to reset my phone. The following is what I have gleaned (& used) from the web sources etc.
Phone details: S6 SM-G920W8, was rooted and running Oreo quite happily (aside from telephony)
Was changing, using a TWRP BU to a Nougat TWRP BU ROM something went wrong!!!
Only have access to Odin: (Vol -/Home/Power buttons
Not able to use: Vol+/Home/Power buttons response
Used Odin to install the following file, G920W8VLS6DRC1_G920W8OYA6DRC1_G920W8VLS6DRC1_HOME.tar.md5. It installs giving off the following: Pass in Odin. Phone then Reboots after install to “System Update” then “Erasing”, then Samsung Logo then "Android is starting up". After this it just loops between Logo & Android Starting.
The other file, G920W8VLU5DQD4_G920W8OYA5DQD4_G920W8VLU5DQD4_HOME.tar.md5 (just checks the MD5,hit start then “Fails”
Using Odin 3.13.1 & Samsung Drivers are installed.
Anyone point me as to what I’m doing wrong please??
The 2 files used are:
G920W8VLU5DQD4_G920W8OYA5DQD4_G920W8VLU5DQD4_HOME.tar.md5
G920W8VLS6DRC1_G920W8OYA6DRC1_G920W8VLS6DRC1_HOME.tar.md5

C'mon guys! Someone must have some advice/help with all the expertise on this site. If the post doesn't make sense, please tell me & I'll try to re-phrase it. All I want to do is to get it up & running again in some shape or other. I have a pile of TWRP backups but no way to install them, so, I have to use Odin for something (as in the 2 .img files I referred to).
PLEASE help me!

The First File (G920W8VLS6DRC1) it flashes ok because the bootloader on your phone is "6" (Thats the fifth number in that file name) the second it fails because the Bootloader is version 6 so is only accepting version "6" and not "5" (G920W8VLU5DQD4).
To fix your problem turn off your phone pressing Vol- + Power. Keep pressing Vol+ + Home + Power (the three at the same time). its going to boot on recovery. its going to appear an Android with an X and under it "No Command (keep calm this is normal). let it there without touching anything until the recovery appears, then wipe Data+Cache and reboot it should be fixed by now.

Many, Many Thanks Razor001_. Worked like a charm once I let the Android "No Command" sit a few seconds. If only I had left it alone and been more patient with it! You truly saved me (Well my old phone anyway!).
Thanks again for your help and input.
As an aside, would I be correct that when it first went wrong and went into the Factory Reset mode, would it have installed the last version of my rooted ROM?? Please say "no" and don't make me cry with a "yes"!

Did I just brick my device?

Hey guys!
So basically I will start from the top:
1. Device is Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite (SM-N770F) (F/DS if it matters really)
What happened is:
I've wanted to install Android 11 update on my phone - downloaded SamFirm app, searched for correct firmware for my region (I've made sure to select appropriate device and region).
Then I've downloaded Odin (3.14.1), loaded all files correctly - no errors or anything, started the process in Odin and after some time I got an error on the phone - Custom Binary(SUPER) Blocked By OEM Lock.
Now what happens is that I can't do literally anything with my device - it's turned on constantly on the same screen, on the top I can see the above error in red font, while on the center of the screen there is message "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." - which I of course did, but Smart Switch doesn't even see the device or anything.
I can't turn off the device - while I press power and volume down button, it just goes black for a moment and comes right back up on the same screen no matter what.
Although, I think it's in downloading mode - Odin still sees it correctly (when I plug it in or out I can see changes in Odins screen).
Tried downloading older versions through SamFirm, other versions of Odin, other USB in computer, other cable - no luck at all.
Did I fully bricked the device? Or is it just soft bricked? Is there anything I can do now? Can Samsung center help me? I've tried chatting with them but they just sent me to their facility.
I'd do literally anything to fix this. Please help me, I'm desperate.

If you can get into recovery, i would try factory reset there. Then go to downloadmode and try complete new flash of newest version with csc (not home_csc). But im not sure, wether it is possible to flash with odin if bootloader is not unlocked in this new samsungs. I allways used odin with unlocked bootloader.

can't get into recovery - only thing I see is the above mentioned screen and there is 0 possibility of going anywhere else

I experienced similar situation, but in my case, even my phone stuck in download mode screen, ODIN did not detect my phone, even PC wasn't response when plug in USB cable. As same as you say, when I tried to power off, it was power on itself and "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software" message appear on screen.
Then I tried to enter download mode again in download mode screen, by pressing power off, and after screen go black press immediately volume up+down. After that phone enter the download mode screen (again), it was looks like the same, but this time I was able to install firmware. Actually I really dont understand why this method work but you can give a try.

Unfortunately, still no luck.
But I've thought about other thing. Do you think it's possible to use .PIT file and re-partition option in Odin?
From what I've read everywhere this will wipe all partition data (so basically it should wipe every single thing) from the device, so it should be possible to overcome this oem lock, shouldn't it? Or will I just brick the device even further? I'm kinda desperate here as the phone is about 2-3 months so it's as brand new...
Edit: I think I've found another issue here. My device model is SM-N770F/DS so it's a Dual Sim model, while everywhere I only see firmware for SM-N770F so without dual sim. May it cause problems as well? How about the above option with flashin firmware with pit file and wiping partitions?

If you have figured it out by now good for you. If not, that emergency screen you see is nothing to fear. You can flash firmware with Odin from that screen...no worries your not bricked. Just do as you would if the device were in download mode..flash away.

Was your bootloader unlocked?
