Help: tried to flash recovery N8000, failed

Hello, here a plea for help.
I tried to flash my stock N8000 via this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957002
I did try this several times, but it never completed: see the attached screen shot of what happens.
Now the device no longer boots normally. It begins to boot, then hangs on the Samsung logo.
Can someone help me here, as the original post seems dead....
thanks.

Start by flashing stock rom through Odin .

Hello, and thanks for responding. Could you give me a hint/howto on where the standard ROM might be, and how to flash, or where to read up on that?
Sorry, a bit of a noob on this...
thanks.

Hello, as the device no longer boots its difficult to tell exactly which device it is, as there are at least 4 devices that seem to fit my device description. I've got the N8000, from GErmany, i received it as part of a package from E-plus. From that information there are 4 device ROM's available....one as late as 2015. Which should i take?
thanks again.

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 out there community...no one out there that can help me here? Please? ....

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.

Looking at sammobile and updato last firmware is .
N8000XXSDQA7 android 4.4.2 .( the last version for note is 4.4.2 )
But they don't list bootloader versions .

Hello,
i tried to flash N8000XXSDQA7, but it also failed. Similar to all the others that i've tried to flash. I must be doing something fundamentally wrong, as the fail happeds after only about 3 seconds.
Any help you can offer? Really appreciate it.

I think that the bootloader section of your Note is damaged.The picture you posted shows right method of Odin flash

Yes if you can get another bootloader .

Help with putting new firmware on S7

Hey guys i am very new to this and have done a lot of research and i'm in need of some help, I tried to put new firmware onto my Samsung S7 but it failed, long story short i can't get it to boot up normally now. I can put it into download mode and then the recovery mode.
In Download mode it says this
Product Name: SM-G930F
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
FRP Lock: On
Secure Download: Enabled
Warranty Void: 0
In Recovery Mode it says
samsung/heroltexx/herolte
7.0/NRD90M/G930FXXU1DQJ1
No Support SINGLE - SKU
Supported API: 3
dm-Verity error ...
E: Failed to mount /system (Invalid Argument)
I have done this in the past and haven't had any issues with it, but no matter what i do i cant get it to boot up. I've tried the kies and smart switch to put the normal firmware back on but it says this device isn't supported and so it wont load it on. I have tried multiple firmwares from sammobile using AP,BL,CP and i did put in the CSC one also at some stage.
I hope this is enough information if i have missed anything please let me know, hopefully someone has some answers or suggestions. Thanks guys

Make sure you are using ODIN 3.12.3 or newer, older versions don't work properly

First off, Kies no longer supports Galaxy S7, actually never did.
What you can try, use odin (latest version 3.12.7 I think), download your firmware and include all 5 files in odin. You cannot ignore CSC file.
So in order, put BL, AP, CP and CSC and... pit file.
In order to have pit file, you need to make o copy of CSC file, change extension of that copy file to .zip, extract files and inside you will find pit file. Include it in odin in Pit card.
Then flash your phone and report back.

No Luck, i tried what you said and this is what happens
https://imgur.com/a/QQGAn
Re-Partition was automatically ticked, should i try it again and have it un-ticked? or have i totally buggered it?

Try different cable and/or USB port and/or even computer.
Your phone is ok-ish. You only have to manage to flash software and should be up and running.

Well im glad its alright haha, ill keep trying different things as you suggested! Hopefully i have some luck. Thank you

Okay bit of an update on what i have attempted - Still no luck at all,
Tried different Odin verisons
Tried multiple firmwares all downloaded from SamMobile & Correct country/carrier etc
The BL,CP and CSC all seem to work fine when i do them by themselves or seperately but i can never get AP to work, it always fails at Sys.img and doesn't go any further.. it always fails about 1/4 of the way through
Tried the PIT partition with and without re-partition clicked
Tried different cables and Ports
anyone have anymore suggestions or is it dead

Phone must be in Download Mode for ODIN
Make sure you have downloaded the correct firmware

It could be the internal memory fault. That's why it stops at 1/4 each time.

Might give it a shot at replacing it, its ****ed either way as far as i can see. I've worked on a lot of iPhone diodes/chips so hopefully i can do this one. Will report back in a few weeks

Thats what I suggested earlier on, but there seems to be loads of other threads recently, where people's phones fails at loading "system" in odin.

How to flash new models stock firmware using odin 3.12?

Hi, I know this is basic for the developers but it confuses me. I used to use Odin v3.07 to flash stock firmware which comes in one md5 file. Now with Odin v3.12 and the new phone models, the firmware zip file comes in 5 md5 files:
1. The first one starts with HOME_CSC
2. The second one starts with CSC
3. The third one starts with CP
4. The fourth one starts with BL
5. The fifth one starts with AP
I know I should put 3, 4, 5 files in the corresponding place. But the problem is with file 1 and file 2.
1.
HOME_CSC_OMC_OLM_A750GNOLM1ARL1_CL14377560_QB20985650_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5

Should I select one of them for the CSC button? but which one? and what's the difference between them?
Thank you.

Hi,
The csc is to leave the terminal as it just left the factory
The home_csc leaves you the terminal as you currently have only updating the rest of the firmware.
I hope you have explained me well because my English is not very good.

Samsung galaxy s8+ (sm-g955fd)

Anyone help me please...i have a samsung galaxy s8 plus and my country is malaysia...i want to update my firmware manually from 7.0 to 8.0 ...i wish that i can install by OTA but everyday i check it say my software already the latest one, yet it still running a 7.0 which is i desperately want an update. Then i search in sammobile for the latest firmware available for my device..there it have a 8.0 and 9.0 firmware that i can download....i download a 8.0 and flash it using odin 3.12 ...the problem here ,after i start to fill out that "BL AP CP CSC " butto n then i press start it show me a "PASS" with green background.. its weird cos all that process completed in 7 sec..Then my device reboot...nothing unusual happen...i check in software detail on my phone it say that im running 7.0..with nothing change at all ...help me please....and btw im not using a "CSC" im using a "HOME_CSC" file is that make any difference??and should i on or off developer option in setting???

Never heard something like that. I think you forgot to check ap + bl + cp + csc. Home csc is not wiping data. Normal csc does

Galaxy S4 GT 19505 bricked?

Hi guys,
I am having trouble recovering my galaxy s4. I have downloaded odin and stock firmware and followed the tutorial to reflash firmware but it always fails with the same message Deviceinfo fail. I have attached a ic of the screen. The phone originally had German firmware on it at level 5.0.1 lollipop. I can get the phone into the right state to flash and have tried several different BG firmwares
GT-I9505_1_20161201163515_lgwvgkwp4u
I9505XXUGNG8_I9505YXYGNH2_BTU
I always end up with the same error. It would be great if some guru could give me a hint on what I am doing wrong. BTW I am running windows 10 the Galaxy drivers I am using are 1.7.43.0 and Odin3 is V3.14.4.
Cheers Guys
Steve

Tutorials here are revised and trustworthy, what's not trustworthy is the user who's is flashing the phone. As I specifically said "If you're new to this" which means if anything goes awry, it's your fault and no one is responsible. Of course someone here would help you if that happens and you ask nicely.
Flashing UK variant might cause issues with the SIM services on the device, like issues with calls, messages, etc.
Flashing a different ROM doesn't necessarily mean you have a better device.

Thanks for the info and accept what you say. it maybe I have tried to flash the wrong image on the phone and got myself in this position as I didnt want the german image with its apps. We all have to learn somewhere and have had no issues other times but I am trying to recover from this now and XDA is where I am looking for support.

I think you may have to format the partitions and flash the ROM. Doing so will delete everything on your device.

Just in case you don't know how to:
Extract PIT file from CSC file.
Open Odin and put the PIT file in the PIT tab.
Check re-partition option in options tab.
Put BL, AP, CP and CSC files and flash.
To extract the PIT file from the CSC file:
Rename the CSC file extension from MD5 to ZIP then extract it in a folder.
Rename the CSC file extension back from ZIP to MD5.
Only put files from the UK variant or whatever ROM your going to flash.

Hi XDHx86 I think I know what's going wrong here. All the images I have downloaded have 1 x.MD5. and 1 x.dll in them.
EG: I9505XXUHOJ2_I9505BTUHOJ1_I9505XXUHOJ2_HOME.tar.md5 and SS_DL.dll. Although some of the downloads say there should be 4 files. BL AP CP & CSC. I dont see any of these? In odin I have been clicking on AP and pointing to the md5 fil which fails. I think I need to get an image that has those 4 files.
Thanks again for your help on this
