Hi,
I rooted my brandnew GT-P3110 with cf, flashed pacman and cwm recovery. I do not blame anybody alse for my issues but myself. I guess I messed up the restoring of NON-system-apps:
After a day of troublefree use the tablet randomly rebooted and came back with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". No booting into recovery possible, no booting into download mode, no regular boot. Just the same message over and over again. Battery is unremovable.
I installed Kies, updated it, it downloaded drivers but under "emergency recovery" my tablet didn't appear. I then followed the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" procedure wich downloaded the necessary files but aborted with a korean text shown in the attachment after replugging the tablet. I tried this with 2 different USB-cables on several USB-ports. Kies btw asked me to remove the battery (not possible) after entering device number and serial-number. I turned off by pressing the off button instead and it turned on again.
I uninstalled Kies, rebooted, installed the samsung drivers manually, rebooted. I installed odin 1.85 (and later 1.3) and downloaded my contry's stock firmware (and later a newer version of the same firmware and another country's stock) from sammobile. I tried to flash them first without "repartition" ticked, later with it ticked but without a pit file (i can't find it!). I got four different errors, two are attached, the third was somethign like "cant write (line 1876)" and "cant write (line 1440)".I tried three stock firmwares with two version of odin with two USB cords on everal ports on ONE computer. I remove the tablet every time, exited odin every time, run it as admin, disabled firewall, xp-antispy and antivirus. I'm on Windows 7.
Besides a million other threads I found this one, but I wasn't able to solve my issue with it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
For 48 hours i tried to solve this problem by myself. Now I hope to find out if there's a point in continuing or if I can give up and throw away the piece of samsung.
Cheers,

I am having the same problem with a P5113. Started with stuck at the Samsung logo. Then I tried a flash from Odin that didn't work. That led to the "Firmware error" screen telling me to use Keis. Keis fails to find the tablet. Odin still sees it but doesn't get a good write.
Now all I get is the battery icon when plugged in but that's it.
Things I have tried:
1) Two versions of Odin
2) Different USB ports
3) Different PC
I also let the device sit over the weekend to completely discharge. Still nothing.
Did you (or anyone else) resolve this issue?

Dude had the same issue on my galaxy S2 and resolved it. I downloaded the
The .pit file for my gt-i9100g (http://data.hu/get/4697903/omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit)
The stock ROM from sammobile. (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/)
The JB Bootloader
The stock JB kernel.
Opened odin v1.85.
Then i used the vol down+home+lock keys together to try to open the download mode ( but ended up in the "Firmware error " page) and connected phone to the pc. It shows "Added!" in the message box.
Repartition with the .pit and it will reboot.
Disconnect
Get into download mode and install the bootloader and it should reboot when done. Disconnect.
Get into download mode and connect
Installed the kernel through odin and reboot
Download mode again and install the ROM through odin.
If the phone gets stuck in boot loop (samsung logo over and over),
get into recovery mode ( for s2, vol up+home+lock, it needs to be pressed intermittently)
Then do a full format along with wipe cache.
And then the phone finally booted completely. :laugh: . Good Luck.
Note: I'm not sure to boot into recovery and download are the same key combos as it was for the i9100g.

Thanks. Well, I understand the theory. I have had trouble finding a PIT file that I am sure is for my device. I did save a PIT file but I think it is corrupt because using it requires me to let the battery die afterwards to get back to download mode. Same for the bootloader. I have a few things I've tried, but not sure I have one that is exactly for the GT-P5113 (in fact, I never did find a JB for the 5113 just the 5110 and it never would load).
Well no amount of coaxing has put life back into the tab
I may try again out of curiosity, but rather than invest more time I went out and bought a 32G Nexus 7 (2013 version). I would still like to get the Galaxy Tab alive again -- it has corrupted the flash twice before and each time I was able to bring it back to life. Not sure if this is an actual hardware failure or if it is just beyond partitioning.
I have a feeling if I had the right PIT and the right bootloader I could get back in business.
I can do each thing you mentioned, but my device is not getting detected by my PC. When I insert USB it says USB not recognized and it is not detected by Odin, adb and anything else. I am stuck on Boot Logo for my P3100 and when I go into recovery, it says USB not recognized. Fully messed up. Can you help me out here.

No. I finally sent it to one of these ebay guys who will JTAG it since I was too lazy to wire up one of my JTAG probes. They worked on it and said it was simply dead and the only alternative would be to replace the flash chips.
Bought a Nexus 7.
I've got the pit files for P311x and P3100 on my website https://sites.google.com/site/jrc2swebsite/downloads/samsung-galaxy-tab-2-70-p31xx

Hi - I really am in need of help. My phone which is a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (was) running latest 6.x firmware,
but custom and rooted via DarkStalker's awesome ROM. All was running fine for months. I did do one thing before my phone died,
I turned OFF developer option and forgot to turn it back ON before I i rebooted. Now the phone is bricked ( I pray it is SOFT not
hard bricked ). When I turn ON the phone it just says "FRP Lock is ON" and then shuts off.
I can enter download mode but NOT recovery. This phone is my work phone and has so much important stuff on it, I just have to fix this.
Plus my wife will shot me for paying $700 and breaking it.
Anyway ... I assume I must go back to stock some how. I can boot to download mode and connect to Odin. But I tried to flash:
1) SM-N920T_1_20160702132553_r0dr7864oe.zip
Also I tried this file ( again via Odin )
2) Noble_Kernel_Auto-Root_N920T_v0.1_Rebuid3.tar.md5
But BOTH files resulted in a FAIL on the Odin screen. ( SEE PIC BELLOW )
Now when I boot it boots to a screen that says this:
Odin Mode
Download Speed: Fast
Product name: SM-N920T
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
FRP LOCK: ON
Secure Download: Enabled
Knox Warrenty Void: 1
AP Swrev: B:2 K:0 S:0
=========
Custom Binary (Recovery) BLOCKED by FAP Lock

Sooooo basically I can NOT boot to the OS because the FRP lock is ON and I guess should be OFF, but when I try to Odin Flash I get a FAIL at the end of the flash. ( again see picture bellow )
PLEASE HELP I will try anything. .. My job and my wife are going to kill me soon.....
Cheers to all
Thanks

If you are in the latest firmware (PH2) you have to flash the same firmware (PH2)
.
Thank you sir. But ... im not sure how to tell if I am PH2 or not. Either way, could you point me to a download link for the firmware and I will try it .. please

Unfortunately I did the exact same thing as you one time. And unfortunately Odin wouldn't allow me to flash anything. But there was this tool we use to use all of the time for the s4 and it's called Samsung Kies. As in "keys". Basically as long as you can get in download mode it doesn't matter how you brick it.
You just soft bricked it but the bad thing is we can't flash unadulterated version of firmware with Odin. So if frp lock is on Odin is a no go. And when I say unadulterated I mean one that's not directly from Samsung not touched or changed in anyway.... which are hard to come by in many cases in my experience. When the recovery is changed it won't pass an Odin check usually if frp lock is on. Matter of a fact I don't think you can flash anything with fap lock on with Odin. Due to the fact that frp lock is basically saying bootloader locked.
When you turn off oem mode you unlock the checks put in place by the firmware and hardware during boot. Odin uses these checks also so when you try and flash it'll be a no go. Good news for you is this already happened to me and I figured why couldn't I just restore with heimdall. Well that's a no go to. So final solution was to try out kies that I had remembered using heavily with the s4.
1. Download Samsung Kies3. Link: http://www.samsung.com/pk/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/#none
2: Install and open kies.
3. Go to the the tools tab and select firmware upgrade and initialization.
4. It will ask for your model name. Type SM-N900T.
5. Now it will ask for the Serial Number of your device. It is located on the back of your phone toward the bottom. Type that in and hit enter.
6. Now a message pops up and says the device can be restored etc...... Hit OK.
7. Now a message says Now initializing latest version. Hit OK.
8. Now it will Prepare software for initialization.
9. A screen will come up that says "Please follow the steps below to proceed with emergency recovery.
A. Make sure that the device is turned off.
B. Switch the device to recovery mode and reconnect the cable.
- To switch to recovery mode, turn on the device by pressing the Power button while holding down the Volume control "▼" Button and the Home button, and then press Continue (the Volume control "▲") button.
10. When it detects you are in download mode it will take care of the rest.
Try not to make the same mistake again.
I just rebooted with the developer options turned off on Friday. I was on ph1 firmware. Saw joeyv (spelling?) Deodexed stock rom with an option for an Odin installation. Did the installation through Odin and was back to stock. Odin flashed the kernel and tarp combo and was back up and running with root. No information was lost. For anyone else having this problem.

Thank you JohnMonsour for taking the time to write all that. I will save it for future use if needed. BUT ... thanks to Josezr I got it fixed.
I was able to boot into download mode like I stated, but I just needed the correct firm to flash. They all failed until I tried
N920TUVS4DPH2_N920TTMB4DPH2_TMB.zip ( Thank you Josezr ).
I just flashed that file and Odin completed and phone rebooted to OS. So ALL IS GOOD. My only question now is ... inside the developer
options section ( in settings ) I have turned Developer options back ON but ... all the options that can be set ON or OFF are in the OFF
position and I am not sure which should be turned on. Can anyone please give me a quick run down on how they should be set .. like this:
stay awake on
next ones set to,
on
off
off
off
on
off
ect............
=======================
Debugging

It would sure help me. Thanks again to all 3 of you guys for helping.

This is crazy I just ran into my phone becoming locked yesterday. T mobile sent me a update and my phone of course was set to auto update and my phone would do nothing it was a FRP LOCK. All I did was download odin and used this site to walk me through it all files are provided thanks to [ROM] [STOCK] N920TUVU3DPG1 | 6.0.1 | Deodexed | KNOX Free | 7.22.2016 by jovy23. At the bottum of the page is the download and also instruction to use odin. This was a life saver. LINK/ http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...rom-n920tuvu1boh4-5-1-1-deodexed-ciq-t3194270. Copy and past everything you need to do to get out of a FRP Lock situation is in this tutorial. Thanks again Jovy23.

its so much wrong with this write up its not funny...for one his model number is sm-n920t second if he is in frp lock then he cant turn his phone off, i tried this method it doesnt work period
you can't turn your phone off?
Yeah actually you can hard reset it and then enter download mode....
Hold volume down the home button and power for like 10 seconds then when the screen turns black you quickly hold volume down, home, and power......
You might not be able to turn it off but you can still enter recovery and download mode.
You might not be able to get into recovery depending on how screwed up your phone is.
And kies3 version was the only one that would work with the above method, now kies has checks in place that checks your knox status and if you've tripped knox it won't work. I can rewrite the guide and link the proper kies if it's really necessary. But this is from 2016 so I am sure that I don't need a proper rewrite.
And at this point I'm pretty sure it might not even matter what version of kies is used it probably does all checks server-side. So this method is obsolete for an almost obsolete phone.
Sorry I didn't help you.
Hello XDA friends,
I hope to find a solution for my problem with my Galaxy S7.
I've flashed the newest Version of Android with Smart Switch, but it won't boot to Android. It just starts "Samsung, Powered by Android" then switches to just the Samsung Logo then gets hot and after 5-6 Minutes it vibrates 2 times but nothing is showing on the screen except the Samsung logo.
I tried everything, rebooting it several times, multiple tries with factory reset. Nothing helps.
Hopefully you guys can understand my broken german english.
This is what the Download Mode currently says:
ODIN MODE
DOWNLOAD SPEED: FAST
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G930F
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Samsung Official
FRP LOCK: ON
Secure Download: Enabled
WARRANTY VOID: 0
RP SWREV: B:1 K:0 S:0
I have a similar issue to this, no fix found yet though.
Flash stock with ODIN 3.12.3
^^^^ Flash stock OS with Odin, if Odin returns with FAIL straight away go into TWRP and format System and Data then flash stock OS
I already tried 7 different stock roms, all have the same problem.
And I cant flash TWRP because the FRP Lock is on. And because I cant boot into Android I am not able to switch it off.
So far, i've tried these firmwares:
Smart Switch - Nope
SM-G930F_1_20170203142713_MOB_fac - nope
SM-G930F_1_20170210110639_6j1nt9xw0b_fac - nope
SM-G930F_1_20170418223200_pf0e8ktcz8_fac - nope
G930FXXU1APB4_G930FVFG1APB2_MOB - nope
SM-G930F_1_20170329175552_qghvj8op9t_fac - nope
SM-G930F_1_20170317121226_ipt5jsw6zo_fac - nope
And on every firmware there is the same problem. Pulsating logo, but nothing happens except the phone gets warm for some time and then cools back down.

I see all the firmwares you have tried have been from 2017, so I assume are all Nougat?
Tried an older Marshmallow firmware?
This one is BTU Unbranded United Kingdom MM for G930F
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=2877DF1921A611E6949E0CC47A44B7B2
Also have you tried using CSC rather than CSC_HOME?
Are you using the correct CSC for your device?
Have you tried checking Repartition in PIT section of ODIN?
Finally are you using ODIN 3.12.3 minimum version?
Tried an older Marshmallow firmware? Yes (Stays on the "Samsung powered by Android" logo)
Also have you tried using CSC rather than CSC_HOME? Yes
Are you using the correct CSC for your device? Yes
Have you tried checking Repartition in PIT section of ODIN? Yes
Finally are you using ODIN 3.12.3 minimum version? Yes
So far, no success
Have you got access to a different PC to flash from?
And a different USB cable to flash with?
If not a different PC, try a different USB port, if using 3.0, try 2.0 and vice versa
Tried it on a different pc and on different usb ports, I even tried multiple versions of the rom on multiple ports.
Still no luck
Sounds like it might be time to RMA unfortunately

I can't send it back, since I got it from a friend and he had a screen repair from a non-samsung partnered shop.
So the warranty is void :/
I have had this problem in the past.
You need to download Samsung KIES 3
(Version 3.2.16084-2)
Select Firmware Upgrade & Initialization from TOOLS at top of APP.
MAKE SURE YOU CONNECT AND DISCONNECT WHEN KIES TELLS YOU TO.
Make sure you have your exact model (example: my model is SM-G930FD)
Make sure you have your Samsung Serial Number (example: NOT ACTUAL S59K432SLQF).
IF YOU DON'T HAVE SAMSUNG SERIAL NUMBER, YOU MIGHT HAVE IT ON YOUR RECEIPT OR BOX.
IF NOT, PERHAPS YOUR CARRIER CAN GIVE IT TO YOU.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT ANY SMALL SCREENS THAT POPUP AND SAY ANYTHING ABOUT NOT BEING SUPPORTED -OR-
THAT SMART SWITCH IS FASTER.
Eventually you will get to a screen that says
"The device can be initialized to its original settings.
All settings and data will be deleted, and the latest software verison will be installed.
Do you want to proceed with the firmware upgrade and initializastion? (OK CANCEL)
The app will download the firmware and then apply it to your phone.
Do not touch the cable or the phone while the process takes place.
When done, your phone will reboot as a new phone.

I did everything as You and Kies explained, sadly tho this also does not work for me....
This is so weird why is it constantly trying to boot and get stuck at the logo? :/
When you are in download mode, press and hold down volume, Home button, & Power key. When phone goes dark, switch from volume down to volume up, & keep holding power & home. This might get you into stock recovery.

I can access the recovery, but Wipe/Factory reset also makes no difference. Like i said in my first post

You may be able to find a local repair shop by searching through Google. OR-you can try searching for craigslist. Org and your city. Then lookup repair of your phone.

I can't send it back, since I got it from a friend and he had a screen repair from a non-samsung partnered shop.
So the warranty is void :/

Have you tried flashing each section of the ROM one by one and attempt a boot after each?
Can't really think of anything else, it sounds as if the internal storage is having problems, as mentioned above, a repair shop could be your only hope now, but I already know they'll tell you the motherboard is faulty (even if it is not) unless you know of a reputable shop that doesn't BS customers for £
Try calling Samsung and ask them how much to reflash out of warranty.
It shouldn't be that much....
I was trying to flash my S7 using odin and I was having trouble getting it to downgrade; I kept getting a Fused 3 >binary 1 error. I read somewhere saying that they checked "T Flash" on and so I did that. Odin said the pass and my phone turned off. Now it won't turn back on. I've tried holding all combinations of buttons to no avail. When I plug the phone into my pc, my pc makes the noise recognizing it being plugged in. Does anyone have any ideas? or am I SOL? :/

Hi
First what S7 you have and what firmware you flashed......
Mate where did you read about the T Flash option? never heard any one using it......
can you get into download or recovery? if not it looks bad....

Hi
T Flash for what I found out is for and quote:
T Flash: T Flash option in odin is for Samsung boot recovery via sd card. This option is checked when we are going to make Samsung boot able sd card to fix or unbrick Samsung dead boot devices. In this case we must have Samsung original boot recovery.tar file for the exact model witch we are going to unbrick. We must have same and full working phone in hands. This option is used in new Samsung Qualcomm based models that allow boot from external memories. I will explain how to recover Samsung dead boot phones with sd card but in other post i will try to leave a link in this post. So T Flash option is to make a boot able sd card from full working phone to unbrick other Samsung phone.
You need to follow an specific procedure to use that option , no just select it and see what happens..
If your phone does not turn on and/or can get into download mode your options are very slim.....if you can turn on keep trying to get into download mode if the phone is not in a "normal" state it may take several tries before you get the correct timing.....
If the phone is on but there is no way you can get in download mode you may need a usb JIG
If the phone is not coming on at all.....well if is in warranty take it to Samsung , if not take it to a repair shop there are some specialized boxes out there that maybe can help
last thing you are in the wrong forum check here

Hi, I have a Verizon Samsung Note 5. I have attempted to flash every stock rom available for this device. I continues to stay in bootloop. If i try to boot into recovery mode, it just goes into the bootloop anyways. I am at a loss of what to do. I cant use adb on Windows due to the bootloop. This is the first time I have ever posted because I can usually find my solution from other peoples misfortunes. I have tried the following stock roms where most roms passed, and a few failed. I have also tried the ones that failed with multiple versions of Odin. I can access the download mode with no issues. I can also access the Maintence Boot menu from the download mode. Everything I have read says I need to wipe system cache and the odin install would work correctly. Any help would be fantastic. Also, I do not know what build number my phone is since I cant access.

What does Odin say after a flash? Pass or Fail? Maybe your PIT file got messed up? Normally you don't want to mess with the PIT but you might need to try something with that. I've never messed with them so you'll need someone else to help you with that. Was this phone ever booting okay ? If this only happened after you flashed something there should be a way to get back to a bootable phone. Did you unlock the OEM lock before flashing - I think that is important (in the developers options) or you may get into a bootloop. If it's on a VZ service plan you could take it back and they might fix it with a box for flashing at a level you can't normally do with Odin on a usb cable. Just don't admit you were flashing anything

I have tried the pit file with each as well. Ive tried them all with and all without. It is not on a Verizon plan. I purchased it from someone to use, they said the battery died during an update. I believe they may have told me a lie, because it shows custom on the bootloop screen.

That can be bad having an update during a low battery. Yes they may have bricked it doing something wrong flashing a wrong file. You might want to try flashing the Oscar kernel and look through this message thread for help: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...asy-guide-how-to-root-verizon-galaxy-t3454593 Dealing with the Verizon version of the Note 4 is a real pain but I managed to get root following the above link thanks to Tripper511's detailed instructions for this phone. Check his troubleshooting guide also.

When you boot into download mode, what does it say next to "PRODUCT NAME"?
Also can you get into recovery using the power, volume and home buttons? If so can you tell me what it says right underneath "Android System Recovery"?

Actually this was a very helpful suggestion by MrMike2182 when my Note 5 was stuck in a bootloop one time: do a factory reset right after it's done flashing. Stop Odin from auto rebooting the phone and after the flash hold the volume down and power button at the same time until the screen turns off and when it comes back on just select factory reset and let it finish. But since Mike's here if that doesn't work he may have some other good suggestions :good:

RP SWREV: B:3 K:0 S:1 You're on bootloader 3 and the knox is not tripped on the phone.. What I would suggest you do is flash this firmware version N920VVRS3BPI1 from my Android File Host and before connecting the phone to odin open the settings and disable the auto reboot option and then connect the phone and flash it and after odin displays PASS then disconnect the phone and immediately press and hold the volume down button, the home button and the power button at the same exact time and when the screen turns on select factory reset and let it finish doing that but do not let odin reboot the phone!
And if FRP Lock is on meaning OEM unlock is disabled then you'll need to use one of the adb root only kernels in order to get the FRP reset.

I did that firmware version, but it didn't work. I did the exact steps you just stated. I will attempt it again and see if I can get something out of it. I read that Odin v 3.10.6 worked best for the note 5, is this true or does it matter? I have most of them. Haha

Can you give me d/l link for the root only kernels and directions possibly?

Download this odin and try it.. The auto reboot is already turned off. Just unzip it. odin-modified
Those root kernels should be posted on the root section but they aren't full root! Only adb terminal root with no write permission to /system..
TRY THIS
Firstly you will need:
About 6gb of data and a stable network
A usb data cable
Patience
After getting all that, follow these steps:
1. Download samsung smart switch and install it to your computer
2. Download samsung usb drivers and install it too
3. Make sure your device is charged and your computer is connected to the Internet (with a stable network and at least 5gb of data because a slight error in the network will send you back to the beginning and you will have to start everything all over again.)
4. Launch smart switch and when prompted to connect your device, don't connect it, just click on "more" at the top right corner
- Then click on "Emergency software recovery and initialization"
- Then click on the "device initialization " tab
- Then enter your model number (your model number is N920V)
- Then click on search
- You'll be asked to enter the S/N (serial number)
- You'll find the serial number at the back of your phone (on the glass)
- Then remaining steps are self-explanatory
*DON'T FORGET TO LET US KNOW HERE.
