After an update to Samsung Apps, it disappeared from my phone, so I flashed it with original indian FW but Samsung Apps still didn't come. I tried even Nordic FW but nothing changed. In these two FWs BOOTFILES and FFS files were not there. Today I got European FW which had bootfiles and FFS too. So I flashed using this FW and got my Samsung Apps back. So I thought I should go back to original Indian FW and tried flashing it. Flashing goes successful but nothing actually changes. And Samsung Apps disappears again. Anyone know why this is happening?
Hi,
which firmware did you tried ?

So I decided to try a custom rom on my GT-I5510M - I followed the available directions which implied I needed to flash a clean stock rom before proceeding.
I accidentally flashed a rom for the GT-I5510(No "M"), which is for europe(I'm in canada) and now no matter what rom I use, it keeps saying roaming, and randomly stops working or receiving texts. if you put it into airplane mode or restart it, it works for a while, then stops working again randomly.
From what I understand, this is due to the AMSS file which is part of the stock roms, which apparently defines the radio rules/standards/frequencies/etc
I tried to downgrade the phone using ODIN back to the stock rom(which is froyo - the rom I flashed was gingerbread) but the phone failed to boot(and even seemed mostly bricked. it was difficult to get back into download mode)
So now I'm stuck with a rom that isn't for my phone, which thinks its in a different country.
Any ideas on how I can downgrade to froyo again, or find an AMSS which is compatible with gingerbread and my phone?
TLDR:
Basically, I flashed a rom with the wrong AMSS. Now I can't get back to a rom with the proper AMSS. and the only available AMSS for my country is for froyo. whereas the rom I'm stuck with is Gingerbread - apparently the file is incompatible between versions.
I need to either figure out how to get the phone back to froyo, or get a compatible gingerbread AMSS for my country.
Hi,
After upgrading OTA to kitkat (australia version) one of my favourite apps stopped working and caused constant reboots to my tab3.
I tried to downgrade with odin to the stock 4.2.2 (auatralia, from sammobile) but I could not. After flshing, the "samsung galaxy tab 3" logo appeared but the tab never turned on, it kept rebooting and rebooting from ours. I tried the same with other 4.2.2 roms with the same results. However I was able to flash any 4.4.2 rom from sammobile.
After that I tried to flash some 4.2.2 roms using twrp and bindroid, I had the same rebooting problems. However, with twrp I can flash 4.4.2 based roms as pimpdroid.
So, I do not why, apparently my tab only accepts 4.4.2 roms... Any suggestions about what should I do to go back to 4.2.2?
Thanks for your time,
A.
Bootloop in P5210
Hi I'm trying to get back to 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 works because although there are excellent applications like Facebook that are causing me problems. But in trying to make the retoroceso as I usually do with ODIN stock form and I was left in a permanent reboot and does not pass the SAMSUNG logo .... solution? Thank you!:crying:
@planinsky, Have you tried a firmware for another region in the world? I live in the United States but have found firmware for the United Kingdom or Canada works best when I flash. There should not be any difference in the firmwares except for regionalization, but it seems some work and some don't work for me. Regional settings can always be tweaked in the Settings panel after install. Do you have a nandroid backup made in TWRP? Those usually always recover a device. I too had a problem having anything flash when I first started making my rom. 3 weeks I had a device that would not boot. So it is recoverable. Odin will save your device.
@planinsky and @MDCB try to download this firmware from Sammobile. This is for the UK 4.2.2 version. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/28243/P5210XXUANB4_P5210BTUANB1_BTU.zip/
I usually use ODIN 3.07. I assume you know the following but just in case. Remember to flash it in the PDA slot. Only have "Auto reboot" and "F. Reset time" checked.
Using Odin will reset anything the 4.4.2 builds have done to the partitions. If it doesn't work, I can only suggest to try again. When it comes to flashing, sometimes the TWRP builds for our device can be a little goofy in writing. I have not investigated completely. In the 4.2.2 roms I have flashed pimpdroid and cagrom, they seem to flash good with Moonbutt77's philz recovery with very little problems. I however cannot get 4.4 roms to flash in philz but only in TWRP. So sometimes the recovery itself seems to have a problem with the android version, or so it seems.
The above is only written from my experience on this device and cannot predict every situation.
Good luck.
Hi! Thanks for the tips.
Ufortunately, I have already tried 4.2.2 ROMS from different countries (from Sammobile): Australia (the original country of my Tab), UK, New Zealand, Belgium and US. None of them worked. I'm still downloading other ROMS but I'm startin to lose the faith... The custom ROMS I have tried, neither work and get into the bootloop.
The backup I have from TWRP is from a 4.4.2 so it's not a solution.
On the other hand, I can flash almost any 4.4.2 ROM with odin and/or TWRP. So I'm afraid I'll soon give up and I will accept that my Tab will not longer run the app I loved (Movistar TV)... Hopefully with the arrival of lollypop the developers will update the app and the bug which causes the crash will disappear.
Hello friends. I need to explain this problem:
When I bought my phone for the first time, I remember when I made it a full wipe from shortcuts on the phone's buttons, LG applications are maintained.
Now after having rooted my phone, installed TWRP and have installed several roms, I have decided to re-stock with KDZ.
But the problem is that after having flashed the KDZ, LG applications has disappeared.
I'll put screenshot after performing a restore kdz:
***SOLVED***
Flashing original TOT Firmware contains complete firmware.
KDZ not contain all firmware.
I had a similar issue as yours back on my Galaxy s4, except it was the carrier apps (bell) that would be missing, and I also wouldn't get the "LTE" icon after a stock firmware flash if I was going from a rom that didn't already have the icon (weird I know).
Anyways I was able to fix the issue by doing a SECOND flash EVERYTIME I went back to stock rom.
I flashed 100's of times on my s4 and EVERYTIME I went back to stock I had to do 2 flashes or I would have "missing apps"
I never had this issue with my g3 yet, but I haven't tried to go back to stock yet since changing to cloudy rom.
I don't know if this fix will work for the g3 like it did on my s4, but it can't hurt to try.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
exactly this happened to me when I try to install the ROM Cloudy, when I want to go back to stock with kdz, the LG system applications disappeared.
My question is this?
The KDZ not come with these pre-installed applications?
It is out of reach of KDZ, it will be in another folder outside SYSTEM.
It's strange, now my question is that will not see problems in an OTA update.
LOL, that strangest problem. :silly:
Solved Mystery...... Flash TOT contains complete stock firmware. :good:
KDZ not contain all firmware.
Hi!
So i have a weird situation with Tab 3 P5200.. It belongs to one of my friends and it just got to bootloop with no reason. No root or custom roms installed, not even developer mode on. So i tried to flash official rom with odin but still the same. And weird thing is that sometimes it starts normally but then in minutes it starts the bootloop again.
Then i flashed 4.2.2 china variant with all the four files, pit, csc,pda etc.. And it runs normally. But there is no play store and my friend need finnish language. So now i tried install again that china variant and after that nordic 4.2.2 variant. And it works now.. And finds system update too, don't know will it install it but let's see. And before it started bootloop again after reboot so...
Do you guys have any suggestions..? Or any idea where to find full rom with all 4 files in it for nordic countries?
Hey all
I recived the miui 12.5 enchanced [ALIOTHEEAGlobal_V12.5.3.0.RKHEUXM] (2.9 GB & 466 MB) Update a few days ago via ota. My rom is stock - no root or custom Recovery. The download and installing process work fine, but then the Phone need to restart. While restarting the Phone stuck at poco Logo. Only with a few reboots (or leave it alone for a long time) the Phone comes alive again. Then there is the Info miui update failed after reboot. I also tried to Update manually the Full and increment Rom over the three dots menue. No Chance. Even if i install my current rom version [ALIOTHEEAGlobal_V12.5.3.0.RKHEUXM] again - the same problem
I searched the whole Internet and couldn't find someone with the same problem.
Please help.. Thank yo all!
FYI: I cannot do a full reset / wipe with data loss, because i have so much banking apps and accounts. I need a full day of restoring my current status and i don't have the time at the moment.
No one?
Hmm... I don't know if it possible with locked BL but try boot from B partitions? Are they for cases like this one, aren't they?
I dont know this option. How will this work?
I backed up my phone as good as possible und tried to flash with "XiaoMitTool V2" my currend rom and the 12.5.6.0 and it always endet in "miui sideload failed". WTF is here going wrong .. While sideloading it stops at 4.99% on phone screen.
Have you tried with 12.5.6 via stock recovery? (full rom ofc, not OTA). It doesn't erase your data.
I also tried ToolV2 with my F3 and no luck too.
isnt 12.5.6 eea enchanced? 12.5.3 is older update in eu
I tried to update through stock recovery and MIAssistant but no success. Like @crysus said, it stops to 4,99 on phone screen, no error but it boots to the old ROM. Maybe because is a stable beta version.
Mine updade went all good without hassles. I updated it via stock recovery but first I use 3 dots menu in system updater app just to show where update file is. (full recovery fw used, not just OTA).
The fastboot version of 12.5.6_EEA has been available for a few days now, it can be Flash with miflash.
