Hello, XDA Developers, I am quite new here and this would be my first post. But I do have a bit of knowledge and experience with android phones from reading tuts and stuff. With that aside, I'd like to ask a question.
So, my friend showed me this samsung galaxy tab 3 model s-7900 that had a boot-loop problem, at first I thought he bricked it by flashing custom roms or such but then he told me it just hanged and after restart the loop happened, I checked the web and found out that this is a clone(which makes it fake right?) of the original tab, so my question is, can I flash the original firmware of it? And if yes, where can I find one? Frankly, there is little info about this model.
I have tried the recovery mode solution wherein I wipe the data and reset it to factory settings but it fails and gives an error saying, "/E:Can't mount /system(Invalid argument)"
I would appreciate any help, comment, opinion, and suggestions
Hello
Not very competent on the phone, thats my son... anyway he gave me this phone changed to freedom pop with their free 200mins service.
Yesterday morning there was a message stating need to install upgrade to software, since then it has not worked, see photo. I tried installing from cache but it doesnt. My son is out of town and I dont know how to fix this.
I was thinking I should just install software from scratch, but dont know which one, I believe it was rooted. So please help me restore my phone.
Thanks
I am having the same problem, could someone please show us what to do.
Found the fix, flash the tar http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3007847
yes this worked for me.
Yep...you're seeing me again...with another phone...in a public thread (moderator please make a device page for this phone...)
oh wait..ANOTHER BOOTLOOPED PHONE(wasn't me, my friend's)
Oh hello!
Sooooo yeaaa cause I am a helpful person and I am the only one who understands how this Android tweakeroonie works, I am trying to help my friend's Lenovo S850 (SKU unknown cuz owner didn't remember lel...)
So the story begins...
This phone is rooted, and survived for some time and one day, the owner would like to try to flash Lollipop in his. Now I don't know WHICH Lollipop he was trying to flash (he himself is unclear, I maybe could re-trace the link of guide), but it's not CyanogenMod, because this device supports CyanogenMod 12.1. I am wondering to myself, "if you really need Lollipop, why don't you go Cyanogen?"
After clicks, he told me that he bootlooped his phone while trying to flash the ROM. But he has successfully installed TWRP (he said...not by my inspection). He said that he would able to boot once in the recovery and then...
BOOP
"The hell is going on? It's taking too long to start! NU UH I'M PANIC!":crying:
Me came in the way and try to save the day.....(not really)
So technical part..
As I am trying to resurrect the phone, I have the stock firmware + scatter, I have SPFlashTool, the phone in factory mode and a heavy duty data cable connected. While the loading of the scatter is a success, a popup saying "PMT has been changed, it must be downloaded". And I'm like " umm wat?". Techies, please if anybody can explain in detail what is that popup means, why is that happen. Googled "PMT error spflashtool" and found that I need to MAKE (yep make...I dunno code droid) a new scatter file specifically for that unit of phone. Well MTKDroidTools we go.....
And this is the point that I got stuck, while the SPFlashTool detects the phone, the MTKDroidTools doesn't.
"HOW ARE YOU NOT CONNECTED?!? I AM CONNECTED GADDAMIT! DONT YE HEARD THE 'DUN DUDUDUN DOON' SOUND?"
Help... I am out of wit to continue researching. It's midnight. I am sleepy so...

Hi guys i need help, i am not active in this forum for such a long time, now i may needing your assistance please.
I have my son Galaxy Tab3 7" - SM-T210 model, i tried to reset, format, load new OS, load new CWM and even kernel, tru flashable and even Odin everything, but still not working.
The OS, i haven't check again the current used OS (details to be follow) still not changing, whatever i do, whatever i change, it return the way it where.
Is there anyone can advise me how to fix this part, my point is, i need to change OS, but for whatever reason i think the OS is read-only, anything you did, when you reboot the device, it return the current OS, nothing change.
Any advise, please... thanks.
no one? anyone?
This is also kind of strange to me, i've done many flashing in many devices, but this is the first time i've encountered this kind of i dont know a joke to me.
i know how to flash cwm, kernel, OS tru flashable or even via Odin, but this is odd to me, please advise.
I have to say that I have never heard of that variant of the tab3 7"...is it region specific?
Are you sure the model is the SM-T20?
