[Completed] Need help please

okay so my Samsung tab3 lite was rooted but I did something and now it is stuck in CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.8 and I have the basic android ROM downloaded on my computer and not sure how to fix this problem Is it possible for me to put the ROM on my sd card then install zip on my tablet? I have tired odin but it can never find my ROM
Any help would be amazing!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. You are on the right track to Odin the stock firmware to get your device working again. But you need the stock firmware, not a rom zip. If you've downloaded the stock firmware it does download in a zip format but you need to extract that so you end up with a .tar.md5 file. Use that in Odin. Also see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3. It's the forum for the tab 3 and does have some information for the lite version.

I have downloaded the firmware but odin does not see the firmware at all not sure what I am doing wrong but could I put the firmware on my sd card then put it in my tablet and install zip?
Have you extracted the firmware zip? Use winrar or 7-zip. You need to use a .tar.md5 file in Odin. That's what you'll get if you extract the stock firmware .zip. Use that in the PDA or AP slot in Odin, depending on what version of Odin you're using. See this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539

I got the md5 file and got it in odin and clicked start and then a couple minutes later it said failed and now my tablet only says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & Try again" so I went to kies and went to Emergency Firmware Recovery tab under tools but it can not find my device
OK, XDA Assist is a forum to point you in the right direction and not to solve your issue. So I'd ask here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/help. But use the usb ports in the back of your computer, 2.0 and not 3.0, and try different usb cables. Odin can be finicky.

Can't flash firmware

So,
Today I flashed the UK BTU firmware (G920FXXU3COI9). However, when I extracted the file it had 4 files for AP, BL, CP AND CSC so I used them all. However, now I can't go back to my previous firmware (G920FXXU2COH5) because when I try flashing it with Odin it says on the phone: sw rev check fail.
I want to go back to this firmware because I have a Nandroid backup with all my stuff and it doesn't work when i try to restore it on the new firmware. Can you help me with the right file to flash? Do I need the CSC file of the old firmware as well? Can you help me please?

Trying to Unroot g930aucs4bql1 via Odin

Hello,
During an attempt to recover data on the phone after a factory reset mishap, the phone was rooted by a 3rd party program.
I wanted to do a fresh install of the stock firmware but I keep getting a fail message via Odin when trying to flash the firmware from the Unroot forum.
As posted in the title the current firmware is from the December update and I cannot for the life of me find a download for it. Am I missing something obvious here ?
If your goal is a fresh start on stock firmware, don't use any customised unroot firmware files.
Just go to sammobile.com or updato.com and download the correct stock firmware for your model, and flash all 4 firmware files (CP, CSC, AP, BL).
Flashing stock firmware via Odin will undo root, there's no need to use specific unroot firmware.

Sorry for hijacking the thread but I've a question that is somewhat connected to the OP's one.
Will flashing stock firmware with Odin check my void_warranty flag? I f***ed up and my S7 constantly talks that unauthorized actions have been detected.
Stock firmware via Odin will not trip knox or any warranty flags

Lost IMEI and baseband, ODIN keeps failing

Hello, I'm getting crazy and I don't know what to do anymore.
I have been using the Oreo Rom in the last few days and I wanted to go back to stock firmware using Odin.
I downloaded the last firmware available for my country (ITV) and installed Odin.
The app kept failing when trying to flash and I wasn't able to install the firmware. I tried by flashing only the AP file and I was able to delete TWRP and install the stock recovery. The phone booted up but it acted strange (the touch screen was unresponsive). So I tried to align the CSC using Odin but it kept failing when trying to flash the BL.
I then flashed all files (AP, CP and CSC) without the bootloader and now I have no signal.
Please help me! How do I restore my baseband?
You cannot flash an older baseband through Odin than the one you're on at the moment, at least that's what I was fighting with a few days ago. Check that you're really flashing the latest stock FW and that its baseband is the same as the last one that worked or newer.

Update firmware without lose any data.

hello guys!
I have a SM-G950FD (ZTO) rooted by magisk and TWRP recovery.
I need to perform updates by flash a zip or donwload via odin.
The problem is: when I try to update a firmware downloaded on Sammobile (tar.md5) via Odin it changes my recovery causing to lose all data.
This happen because on firmware that I donwload on Sammobile have a stock recovey included. Otherwise, if I use HOME_CSC will also cause lose data because of change on recovery.
I try a lot of things like, remove recovery file from the tar.md5, also try use Abyssal Kitchen, but I can't have sucess.
I ask for help plz! I just need upgrade my firmware without lose data by flash a update.zip or donwload a .tar via Odin using a firmware that I donwload from Sammobile.
Kind regards!
