I just did the regedit trick and downloaded the froyo update but when i go into the phone i just keep getting error messages about launcher not loading etc.
I have factory resent and cleaned cache but still wont work. I cant download the old updates through kies any more how do i get it back to how it was with the old software? I am stuck and freaking out lol
guess you have to flash an older FW like JM2 with Odin ... check out FAQ in this section (sticky).
I really stuffed it up now i somehow flashed a captivate rom onto it from atnt and now it wont even go past the white screen. I cant use the 3 buttons to get it into recovery mode or download mode. And the computer is not recognising the phone. Have i stuffed it for good?
try volume up + volume down + power
the AT&T / Tmobile version uses that combination
instead of Volume down + home + power
Go into recovery mode and factory wipe if you have issues such as services force quitting.

Captive rom onto Galaxy phone? Curious how did you do that as these two are two different phone. You are not the first one but reading from the posts from people who did the same mistake, I'd say you have bricked it. Sorry to be the bearer of the bad news
i have
I have tried all combinations of keys and it just keeps loading up with white att international phone and then that screen just flashes every few seconds and doesnt go any futher. It wont go into downloadin or recovery.
im thinking of doing the update
did you do anything eles besides the update to cause this
Look, the only possible way to brick the phone (that i know of) is to flash others phone rom(Captivate being the usual suspect) into Galaxy.
This changed the button combo to enter download mode in Galaxy (as Captivate has different combo for download mode) so it is not possible to enter the download mode and reflash. Therefore you are stuck and cant do nothing Im afraid
Just curious , why so many people flashing Samsung Captivate rom into their Galaxy?
Some other examples

Since it is the same Galaxy S i9000, I'd say It'll work. But I could be wrong To be on the safe side, you could ask for other Bell Galaxy users' feedback. Dont know about Bell, but Romanian Orange users are getting their phone locked after the flash.
usualy when something wrong w/0 3 buttons
usualy when something wrong w/0 3 buttons the phone rebooting in recovery mode itself to reboot it in download mode install correct adb drivers and use command "adb reboot download"
decided
I have just decided i am going to take it to one of the local Samsung repair centres i explained it over the phone and they said they could fix it for $49.95 or they could try and push for warantee but i told them i would just pay it will take longer for them to apply for warantee get rejected and then i pay anyways.
I miss it already i had to go back to my nokia N95 which was from a few phones ago now lol
i think the benfiets can wait till the official release ryanza lagfix fix all the lag problems that i had how important is flash really use your computer
Please explain exactly where you got the rom from so we don't make a similar mistake.
I'd pay the 50 too instead of waiting weeks and weeks :\
I got
I got the original rom through samsung kies using the reg edit trick that was shown in one of the threads. After a factory reset and a cleared cache it loaded up but started coming up with all these pop ups that things wont load and need to be forced shut etc.
So i decided to just flash it back using Odin but at 12 at night and in a panicy state thinking i have stuffed my phone for good i clicked on a captivate rom without looking at the heading of the thread that a link took me to for the galaxy s.
But as i said before for 49.95 to get it fixed is easier then me trying all these other things and getting in more of a panic about doing worse things to it. I assume it will be easy for them to fix it. A friend said he had a nokia he bricked where USB wasnt connecting and the screen wouldnt come on etc and they just used a computer that does something and fixes it.
got
Just got the phone call they managed to fix my galaxy for $49 and getting it back tomorrow oh how i have missed it i had to go back to a old old phone the nokia 95 lol.
My next door neighbor learned that I like to mess with things. He has brought me a Galaxy Note 2 and has asked me to install cynaogen on it. However it appears that this thing already has a custom rom on it. That being said I would like to start from scratch. Well from what I have read I need to download a stock rom and upload it with odin using the download menu. To access this I am suppose to power down the phone and then hold the power, volume down, and home button. However instead on the download mode this brings me to the recovery mode. So what can I do to access the download mode?

If you haven't wiped/factory reset the phone,most probably you can boot into the android system and perhaps access download mode from the power menu.Almost all roms have that feature under "reboot" options.Usually download mode always works ,never seen anyone saying download mode is not accessible it's usually the recovery that could not be accessed.How I access download mode I press vol down then home and then lastly i press power button.

When I press this button combination it brings to a factory mode. The writing is in Japanese or something of the sort.

That doesn't look like note II battery ,perhaps you should ask your neighbor which model is it? May be it's the Korean variant but that one should be still 3100 mah not 2800 mah and the stock samsung battery is black and grey not blue.Perhaps you shouldn't even try to do anything with it and just return it to him.
Even Samsung Logo is missing below the ear piece, perhaps some alien model.
I think it's a pirated version of the note lol. Probably chinese. If you could take a better photo I can interpret for you

[Q] Samsung Galaxy tab S "Not for sale" version with "retail mode" app, problem!
this may seem strange, but I have a Samsung galaxy tab S, demo version, with a "NOT FOR SALE" text hacked on the back, it has a "retail mode" app on it (even after factory reset) so I can't remove it, is it possible to install a (stock) ROM on this tablet?
I would imagine installing a stock firmware with odin should do the trick
same here, i flashed with stock firmware and it works no more ldu
Thanks for your response,
the devise's model is " SAMSUNG SM-T800X " and i can't find a thread on xda for a ROM for this version!
flash with t800 rom dude .
is this (ThunderRom800 ) ok? I want a easy to install ROM.

yes but u need a custom recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...recovery-twrp-2-7-1-0-touch-recovery-t2817100 then u can flash custom rom
everything ok for now, sorry!
I rooted the device (with Odin), then installed the latest TWRP successfully, then went to boot menu and noticed TWRP's touch interface in scrambled (where i tap the screen isn't where it get clicked on screen, it was kindda on random places) and it filled half the screen, so for a long time I tried to tap randomly on screen and finally I could wipe the first 4 check-boxes, then i guess the battery charge went out, so after successfully wiping the device it got shut down.
now I can't go to TWRP boot menu, but I can go to other boot menu (home button + vol up + power ) , and i can't turn the damn thing off! so what should i do?

Should but make sure your battery is at at least 80% before starting......battery dying while flashing is not good and can lead to bricked device.

hey
pls help .
I rooted the device with Odin, then installed TWRP manager successfully from GOOGLE PLaY and installed Thunder Rom V3 from SDcard in recovery mode and now device show new firmware ( KOT49H. ThunderRom800V3) and new device name (SM-T800 before SM-T800X) but I still have the Retail Mode .
What I've done wrong?
My home button has not worked in about six months due to water damage. So how do I manage to get into download or recovery mode when my phone is stuck in a boot loop without the use of a home button? It won't load into android and I can't get adb to force it to load into download mode.
select Bootloader from the reboot menu in recovery if you have custom.
if not, idk but honestly I've always been able to get to it with just power and volume down on Sprint devices...

Thank you. I guess at this point the phone is just borked. I have TWRP on the phone but it will not let me get into either recovery or download mode. I already purchased a S5. At this point I'd just like to get into the Note so I can factory reset it and sell it for parts.

I'm pretty sure there are apps on the play store that will let you reboot into recovery, but you might need to have a rooted phone for them to work.

I normally use titanium to boot into recovery. Problem is that the phone is stuck into a boot loop so i can get into the OS.

again, most Sprint devices do not require the use of Home in the button combination.
my old s2 and s4 did not, note 4 does not, but I don't know about with the s3 s5 s6
my wifi-only G note 10.1 2014 & note pro 12.2 do not require Home
some other **non-sprint** s4's, s5's, note 3's that I've handled but not owned in the past I did notice requires Home
when people post the instructions on the forum they probably just say to hold home anyways, to reduce/eliminate the "it's not working!" complaints or have come from a different carrier and haven't yet realized Home is not necessary.
if your note 4 is in fact Sprint, and neither Download mode, Recovery mode, or OS will boot, then the issue you are experiencing is far more severe than a faulty button. it might be the result of flashing a rom designed for a different carrier's version of a note 4 (via odin?)
btw is typically easier to get into either mode when USB cables are not connected -- the power off charging mode can be a minor nuisance when trying to do the correct order
I appreciate everyone's input. I really do. Holding down up or down and power without the home button does not work for me. Perhaps it was just time for the phone to stop working. I got about 5 months out of it after falling in the water. I was doing the 5.1.1 update from freeza from here. Along the way it broke. I'm no rookie at flashing, as I've been doing it since the Samsung Moment was out. Oh well, you live and learn. Thank you again.
I just got a Tab S 8.4 used on ebay.
I like the tab but lots of apps I use are not lollipop compatible even when side loaded.
I want to revert this Tab S 8.4 from lollipop to the stock samsung kitkat. (32gb Titanium, USA,. wifi only version)
I just found this link with instructions:
http://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (WiFi)/5432/XAR/T700XXU1ANL2/T700XAR1ANL2/
Can I just download that and follow the instructions to get back to kitkat without any issue or tripping knox?
thanks.
Use this link: https://mega.nz/#!AYsCFaiY!aOJs57p3EV0HYzDYUxkE0QTgfW2ztCTzUYhtBKhhTZM
That is my own personal upload to Mega. It will probably be a faster download and I know it's safe.
Steps:
1. Place tablet in download mode (Turn tablet off, press and hold POWER, HOME, and VOLUME DOWN until you come to a warning screen. Click VOLUME UP to continue to download mode.)
2. Download zip file
3. Extract the file
4. Open Odin
5. Select AP
6. Select the file you just extracted
7. Click start
I've used these steps without issue. As far as KNOX is concerned, it is my understanding that flashing a custom ROM is what trips it and not stock firmware. I could be wrong on the KNOX issues.
thanks! it is a slow download.... yours is much quicker.
Any particular version of Odin to download? (3.10.6 work? or Samsung Odin 3.09?)
so installing this OVER the lollipop stock firmware I have...very little chance of bricking following the instructions if all goes well right?
I'm not new to flashing just want to make sure as I have heard someone say a samsung rep said you can't downgrade
Thanks very much!
I'm surprised at what you say, I haven't had a single issue with any app being incompatible with lollipop.
These must be pretty outdated apps.
3 of note:
simply note: you can't access it's menu system. (yes it is old, but it works the way I like just fine in kitkat)
xfinity tv go: no audio, freezes, crashes
Both Go Launcher HD & EX do weird things...unuseable.
The latest versions can't be setup the way I prefer and had on previous tablet or phone running kitkat.
all 3 run perfect in kitkat
Now granted all but the xfinity are old, but they work/config the way I want them to be.
I'd rather just have it the way I want then compromise if it all possible.

Version 3.10.6 is the version I use so you should be fine there. I have the same model as you, but mine is 16GB instead of 32. I seriously doubt that would make any difference. Yes, flashing over Lollipop is what I did. Ran into no issues whatsoever!
ok I did that and now it just boots to the samsung logo then holds there.
Tried turning off, won't do it.
held down vol power and home and it goes back into download mode.
I tried to flash again it does it successfully and reboots (just like first time) and it just freezes at samsung boot logo.
before that comes up it does show the green droid for a moment.
any ideas?

Boot into recovery mode and restore factory defaults. That should get you through the Samsung logo. Turn device off, hold POWER + VOLUME UP + HOME, select factory reset
ok i'm in setup now (like a new device)

Yea, I was freaking out when I first did that. I figured at that point it wouldn't hurt to give everything else a try. Enjoy your KitKat! I noticed that the colors seems to be more vivid with KitKat than Lollipop as well. That's one reason I went back.
Hi...can i have the link again?
TQ.
