I have a Sprint Galaxy S II 4G Touch, I rooted with Odin SPH-D710.EL_29CL852097_ROOTED_NODATA program. The phone worked fine. I then tried to unroot the phone using Odin v. 1.85 twith the PIT file that came with it and the Stock_EK02.Tar file. I accidently inserted the Tar file into the BOOTLOADER, PDA AND PHONE boxes. Now my phone is stuck in the Galaxy S II screen, however I can get to Odin recovery mode. Is there anyway to reclaim any usage from my phone. Please Help...
Reboot on download mode and install one of the sfhub one click roms the el29 might need good for you.

Download the one-click option and follow the steps outlined by sfhub. It will restore your phone to a stock out of the box state.
Reboot
When I do the reboot via battery out volume down with power button, I get a screen that has ODIN MODE in red at top left. Below that in white is PRODOCUT NAME: SPH-0710,CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO, CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL. Below that the green Android robot. Below that Downloading... Do not turn target off!! No other options. The only way to install is from a file from the computer... can I install the hub file from computer and do I do with odin? The Galaxy S II screen and this reboot are the only options I can get too. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Sfhub's program is the easiest thing you've ever done (it's saved my bacon loads of times!). You just put the phone into download mode, plug it into your PC and then run the program you downloaded from the post I originally linked.
Good luck!
I didn't get a link... I see many sfhubs downloads. I have the rooted EL29 No data downloading EL29 Stock Root. However, I have tried the one click EL29 No data root and then phone will only boot to Galaxy screen... I am new to Android OS.. I have only been familiar with Nokia since the beginning of time. Have transformed many of those... But can always go back to factory..Clicked Thanks too.... what file do I need???

That's not a good sign but let's try a couple of other things.
If you have Kies installed remove/uninstall it.
Download the full Samsung driver suite and install it from here:
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...342248/Sprint_d710_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0.exe
Try the oneclick odin again. If it still fails, try your usb cable in all the different usb ports or even try a different computer too if possible. If you have access to a different cable that would be nice to try also.

I have tried all of the above methods in this thread. I still get the same failed status with the one click file. I have tried laptops, desktops on multiple usb ports.
still getting the same fail message,posted above.
I disabled the phone with Odin3 v. 1.85.. see above. Is there any single files to flash into the BOOTLOADER, PDA AND PHONE spaces that I originally overwrote? I also ran again with the Re-Partion box clicked. Please Help!!!
When you are in download mode, tell us exactly what text is displayed on the screen there please.

Also, have you tried using odin to flash just a kernel yet?
When I do the reboot via battery out volume down with power button, I get a screen that has ODIN MODE in red at top left.

I tried to flash the Tar file I stated earlier but flashed it in the wrong places. What kernal/s would you suggest flashing?
Sorry for the slow responses having issues with my Samsung Transform Ultra now too. That is what I am using for my data service on PC. I did a mandatory samsung update the other day and barnacle doesn't work, can not unroot the phone and down to usb tethered connection that is to slow, but one phone at a time. I would like to get my Galaxy back. It was great.

Ok no problem.
Here is a link to an Odin guide. Not very helpful but it tells you a few necessary things and it's handy to have around if you ever need to know what the buttons are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274337
Right above where it says:
DO NOT USE PHONE FOR ANYTHING BUT A RADIO/MODEM - YOU WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE ABLE TO USE YOUR PHONE FOR CALLS, AND YOU MAY POSSIBLY BRICK IT - YOU'VE BEEN WARNED
it tells you what the different keys are.
Anyway, download StockCWM-EL26.TAR from here (you may have to rename it without the MD5 to work with ODIN):
http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=EpicTouch/Stock+Repack/EL26/
Open odin, load the tar file in pda, the only 2 things should be checked are reboot and PDA, click on start.

Ok, Now the phone boots into a different Galaxy screen. Now boots to Samsung Galaxy S ii GT-I9100 screen and when connected to the usb cable on restart the PC explorer shows the 2 internal mmc drives then doesn't if that makes any sense.
Then in Odin Mode on the phone has changed too. ODIN MODE in red top left. Under that in white is: PRODUCT NAME: SPH-0710, under that is CUSTON BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (2 counts), under that CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM... THEM THE ANDROID robot then Downloading then Do not turn off target!!
Ok cool we're making progress, now do you have any flashable rom zip files on the phone? And calkulin's format all? If so, boot up with pwr/vol up key, flash format all, then rom.

I just want you to know ahead of time , if we can get it running with a ROM, I'm going to ask you to save what you need off of the phone because I'm going to ask you to do a full reset back to stock and format everything. I want to make sure you are good to go especially due to what you did in ODIN initially so maybe this won't happen again. I will give you more instructions on that later though, let's see how this goes. Tnx.
OK when I boot with volume up/power button... I get many options... from top to bottom they are: - reboot system now, - apply update from sdcard, - wipe data/factory reset, - wipe cache partition, - install zip from sdcard, - backu and restore, - mounts and storage, - advanced, - power off...
Below that at the bottom in white I get ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.7 then under:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/commmand
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
That's fine. Do you remember if you have any roms on the phone and are they on internal or external SD?

Your gonna want to download a rom and copy it over to your phone if u dont have 1.. To do so while in recovery u can goto mounts and storage mount usb.. Then u can copy and paste..after that..

My girlfriends S3 (Bell, I747M, d2can) is currently boot looping. It had a custom ROM on it, but I'll be damned if I could tell you which one. It was working, then it wasn't. No updates, no flash/wipe/etc.
Now I turn on her phone, and it gets to the ROM's boot screen, and just as it's about to complete, it restarts again. I can enter TWRP (2.6.3.1) but it requires a password (which is a bug, afaik). I can press "cancel" and try to reset/wipe, but it won't mount or reset the cache partition, so it fails.
I used Odin (3.07, 3.09) to try and flash TWRP 2.6.3.0 and 2.7.0.0, and both failed. The result was Odin would reboot the phone, then it would enter the same bootloop, and the recovery would still be TWRP 2.6.3.1.
I tried downloading a stock S3 firmware and flashing it with Odin. Same problem.
I've tried new drivers. New cable. New USB port. I've tried using a different computer. Always the same result.
So a summary of what I can/can't do:
Can't use TWRP to reset/wipe
Can't use ADB Sideload
Can't modify device via ADB
CAN see the device via ADB
CAN enter download mode
Any help?
I pulled DMESG at some point during all this. Maybe it can help shed some light: http://pastebin.com/4c2uL3Qq
Dont know how much help it is but I quit using TWRP because of that bug, now I use CWM the philz touch version and haven't seen that again. When you are flashing the rcovery with ODIN you must absolutely uncheck the box for auto reboot. when you get the message that says the flash was successful you should then unplug the USB cable and do a battery pull, reinsert the battery, press the volume up key and the home key, press the power button until it vibrates then release the power button only, once the phone boots into recovery you may release the volume up and home buttons.
If you are trying to flash Stock roms be darn sure you have the right stuff IE AT&T phone using 4.3 you find here on XDA the correct odin flashable tar or for any other use www.sammobile.com if you have a canadian I747M go to www.sammobile.com and find the right one for the bootloaders currently on the phone. If you flash a phone that has 4.3 bootloaders on it with older bootloaders you will have an instant Hard Brick. Use Extreme Caution with bootloaders and ODIN tars. you could also use custom recovery to flash some stock or custom roms too those are alot safer and less likely to hard brick.
I think you are on the right track to trying to fix your ahem her phone, a little patience and reading go a long way IIRC the recovery thread instructions outline the need to uncheck the auto reboot box, with that being said you aren't the first one to over look it I have done it myself a few months ago. I wish you the best of luck and hope that a cache wipe will fix what you have going on if not try a factory reset, Good Luck.

I assume that's where it's supposed to be. Then I enter recovery and it's still the same TWRP 2.6.3.1. Very strange.
I don't think her phone is using 4.3 bootloaders, as I don't remember them being available when I flashed this phone. I'm a Nexus guy, so maybe I'm doing something wrong this time.
EDIT: I also seem to recall on my phones that when I flashed something in Download/Fastboot mode, there was a progress bar of sorts on the phone itself indicating it was receiving something. On this phone it doesn't display anything to imply something's happening.
Boot into download and let us know what it says on the download screen. If you have the 4.3 bootloader, try flashing a pre-rooted 4.3 Bell ROM using Odin 3.07. If you have a lower version bootloader, try flashing a pre-rooted 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...mctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=139036464
In Odin, don't check auto reboot. When you see reset in the status windows, disconnect the USB cable and pull the battery. Boot into recovery and wipe cache, data, and reboot.
Thanks for the reply! I'm 99% sure it's a pre-4.3 bootloader. Here's what it shows in DL mode:

I feel it's worth mentioning again: At no point, while using Odin, does the phone display a transfer bar of any sort.
Try installing Philz Touch recovery via Odin and see if you can boot into recovery. Copy a custom ROM on an external SD card and see if you can flash that ROM from recovery.

Try this: when you flash with Odin, uncheck auto reboot, start the flash process. When you see the word reset in the status window, remove the USB cable, pull the battery, and boot into recovery.
So newb questions and might have been answered but I have been unable to find the answer I'm looking for.
Background:
SGH T999
Original I was on 4.1 stock. I used towelroot and was able to root and all that jazz. I uploaded an old version of CWM to my phone and was unable to flash and ROMs, they would all hang on the Samsung Galaxy SIII screen.
I updated CWM to put on a Cyanogen Mode ROM and all was good. I tried out a couple other ROMs then decided I wanted to go back to stock and see how stock 3.3 or 3.4 was. I tried using Odin to bring back to stock and no luck. I then installed PhilZ recovery and booted to Wicked ROM for 4.1. After this I got current TWRP and tried to update other roms. I went into ROM manager switched over to CWM 6.0.4.5 then updated my kernel. At some point along the way I noticed that on the internal sd card I have a 0 directory inside my 0 directory.
Now when I reboot my phone into Recovery mode I see a Samsung Galaxy SIII screen with the Cyanogen guy on it, then it loads to CWM but nothing is on the screen but the hat, then after a couple of seconds it loads to a Samsung screen quickly, then to the Samsung Galaxy SIII and hangs indefinitely. I'm still able to get the phone to go into download mode fine. Now I'm trying to just bring back to stock but not having any luck. Here's my repro:
1. Put hardware into download mode (HOME + Vol Down + Lock).
2. Open Odin 3.09 as Admin (I'm using Win 7).
3. Connect hardware to computer (Odin recognizes 0:Com5).
4. Place "T999UVDMD5_T999TMBDMD5_T999UVDMD5_HOME.tar.md5" in AP field.
5. With only "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" selected press Start button.

Hmm, if the device is recognized in your PC by ODIN there's still hope. I personally recommend TWRP (LINK for latest ODIN flashable version) for everything as CWM has caused havoc with my phone before. Stay away from it. IF you can still access recovery, do format everything, including the internal SDcard. Also please use the PIT file when trying to use ODIN for the MD5 firmware you're choosing. LINK for the PIT file (choose your model's PIT and put it on the PIT part of ODIN then proceed on flashing the MD5 firmware - credit goes to DocHoliday for the PIT files). That little file can sometimes fix stuff when trying to ODIN the device back to stock firmware. Just giving ideas, don't give up and best of lucks!
You can't flash MD5. It looks like you are currently running MJC base firmware which means you can ONLY flash MJC or NC2 with Odin. Do not try to downgrade via any method or it will hard brick your device.

"SW REV CHECK: Fused 1" means you currently have MJC. It will change to Fused 2 if you update to NC2. (If I'm remembering all those nemesis right).
Just FYI in case anyone was wondering.

Hey yall,
Neighbor's kid handed me his Sprint galaxy s3 today and asked if I could fix it. It's not working at all right now. I'd like to think I know a thing or two about technology but I know jack about Android...I use the other brand of phones. Anyway, lots of searches led me here to ask for help.
Far as I can tell it's a Spring LPH-710 Samsung Galaxy S3. When I turn it on it has the firmware upgrade encountered an issue screen and it doesn't do anything else. I can't get VOLUP+HOME+POWER to work (recovery mode I think) but download mode works with VOLDOWN+HOME+POWER.
I went and downloaded the Kies program from samsung but it fails to load the software. here's the error message; CAN'T POST LINKS! arrrgggg. It says "Failed to upgrade firmware due to an unexpected error. Do you want to run firmware emergency recovery now?" It then says I should enter some recovery code from another PC which I don't have.
It also has some small red text on the phone screen after I saw the Kies error message. It says SW REV CHECK FAIL : Fused 2 > Binary 1. That makes no sense to me but it's red and Kies error out so I'm going to assume that's not good.
I don't have a recovery key to use and the kid tells me he never backed it up to a computer before. I've read Odin is the preferred method to use for stock recovery but I don't know what files to download and use. Apparently, people are pretty unhappy with Kies...kinda like iTunes I guess. Why can't the Kies software wipe and reload the phone? Am I doing something wrong?
The device malfunctioned or had an error when he tried doing an update / flash. And if Kies is malfunctioning you can try PC Odin.
Download Sammy drivers of device, download the stock .tar image of the sprint s3 ( L710VPUDND8 ), download Odin v3.07
- At PC. Open Odin in admin mode. Click PDA and select the .tar image file and let that load and leave everything else alone in the program.
- On device press vol dn + home + power to get into download mode, press vol up to continue.
- Plug in device and let driver installation be completed. If a box in Odin ( on PC ) doesn't show a COM:##, replug device or try different ports and cables.
- Once you have that all set up click start and leave it to flash. It takes roughly 15 minutes to flash the whole thing or lesser.

Thanks for the reply Sparks. I downloaded Odin 3.07, uninstall Kies and rebooted the PC. When I loaded the .md5 file, I then plugged in the phone and saw it look for drivers. The phone shows up on COM3. Below is what I see after I press start. Doesn't look good to me! Did I get the right file?
I've read that attepting to alter the operating system will void the warranty. Would this line on the download screen indicate he tried to do that? Current Binary: Custom. He said the contract is up in March so I'd hate for him to get screwed over by this.

That's the right file. Says md5 is valid.
Binary custom and/or warranty bit 1 means he already tried to flash something and it ticked the counters so he's out of luck getting it repaired.
Go download the Galaxy S3 Samsung drivers through the official site and install them, reboot pc and try the method again in a different USB PORT ( Preferebly 2.0 slots ) some ports and different cables can be iffy at times.

My Samsung SM-T210R is in trouble . It all started after flashing a rom, I believe it was TranchidaKat v 4.3, However after that I have tried so many things that the start means little now.
Situation:
The tablet does not boot either to regular boot or into recovery. It actually appears pretty dead when trying, unless one pays attention to the back lighting of the screen.
Eventually I managed to consistently boot into download (actually ODIN) mode although without the large texting with the warnings and the instruction to press the up volume button (which I do nonetheless).
The report on screen upper left says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SMT210R
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
HW REV: 0x5
From there attempting to flash a number of roms including stock fails. The MD5 checks are always successful. The failure modes are 2 different ones.
The first involves a PIT Partition missing. It happens when attempting to flash non stock roms
The second, flashing a stock rom (the latest: T210RUEU0COB1 and also: T210RUEAMK1 ) or also TWRP Recovery shows:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection.. (It hangs at this point for a very long time)
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I did a lot of searching for a pit file for my tablet model without coming up with it.
Can someone help me to solve this please?

Thank you for your response.
First if with search function you mean by using google, I have done a lot of of that, but so far with no luck.
I am pretty good with this stuff but not good enough. I would like to find someone who has either a lot of knowledge or has resolved a situation like mine and is willing to help.
The link you suggested is probably good, but does not totally relate to my situation. They had a working device they were simply trying to root. I instead don't have a working device and not even access to recovery mode. I don't even know right now what files and folders are on my device.
Thank you for the pit file though; now I have to find out whether repartitioning with it would be good, or whether it would push me down deeper in the hole.
You can also use the search Funktion here at this forum.
All wath you must do is simular to flash a recovery with Odin.
Download the Stockton from sammobile.com
Boot your tab into download mode
Startup odin
Check autoreboot , repartion and factory reset.
Under Pit you select the Pit.file
Under PDA you select your downloaded Stockrom what you have unziped,so that have a *.tar.md5 extension.
Press Start and Walt some minutes and the Tab will reboot.

This is what happened earlier with the only difference being the "Set PIT file" command.
Any idea?

For stock there are faster download sources also, do some google searching. By the way my issue has nothing to do with rooting.

Tried both PIT files at that link with no success. Thanks for you help anyway. I am starting to loose hope and to wonder whether the problem is really not with the PIT file and partition tables. I just wish I knew linux.

When you connect charger do tab shows battery charging.
If it shows then probably your kernel is working.
(i don't know about Samsung too much as they have download mode instead of fastboot.)

No, I am at a lower level than the kernel, I am sure. The only thing ever showing is the wording at the download mode screen.
Another curious thing that seems to be happening is that the battery seems to discharging or not charging since I can only enter download mode only while or after connecting the charger.
Any way thanks for your response.

you just hard bricked your device.
but download mode is working so still a hope.(untill power end)
which version of odin are you using.?
I am using 3.06. Battery is not really a problem, other than for the unknown reason why it discharges or does not charge completely. I am questioning whether all the trial and errors I have done, since the issue occurred, may have caused some collateral damage. In any case, I can still start download mode after a short time charging

pit file problems in odin and timeouts and now not postitive if my device made it to the 4.4.2 locked bootloader. looking to get it back to stock.
will help with files, time etc.

SOLVED
got my tab(SM-T210R) back up and running,,
been at it a few hours a day all this week,
kies firmware upgrade and initializaton somewhat didnt work. it installed it but always booted a black screen and backlight no sound. no vibiration,
so i am back to help the OP' and all others with this specific issue of dirty flashing directly to 4.4.2 from a rooted custom recovery tab3 that now have a messed up black screen problem but can still sneek into download mode thats looking all messed up> with the fallowing message
ODIN MODE

and then get PIT file errors and setup connection hangs.
please be shure you dont still have your custom recovery. you just have to hold home and vol+ ten seconds longer then usual after releasing the power button when the backlight appears. i thot i didnt have mine. until after i did this. now im just not shur if i held the buttons long enough then.
(if you need to get your current binary to offical please use odin's firmware and initialization process.. it will go thru and your binary will be changed to official but you will still have the black screen boot even though kies installed everything. proceed to next)
to get your brick back to being a useful loaf
this is what you need.

at this point within 15 seconds after the reboot i got a splash screen and it booted up into 4.4.2 checked the status, device status of custom.

so now we have an operating tablet with recovery and a messed up but working download mode.

PLEASE DO NOT AT THIS POINT wipe everything. it only got me back to the black screen with no booting.
and not being able to odin the .md5 package stock firmwares
it put me back an hour to get back to where these instructions end.
if this happends to you run keis firmware and intialize, to get the stock package back in and return to the corrupted download mode to see binary samsung offical.. then continue my odin instructions.
FALLOW UP:
had some time to experiment. i got back to %100 official system/binary and normal download mode with the green android guy being back.
i had updated to the latest TWRP and rooted.
i then unrooted with the super su app
then with the new kies program called SMARTSWITCH i again did the firmware and initialize and it went through and booted. without a hitch.
try it then go ahead and check for stock recovery and android man in download mode
-your welcome
b.t.w it seems in all the mess im still HW-rev 0x5 and it never installed the knox warraty bit..., blessing in disguise?
if this works for people somebody wanna make a sticky and add it to a 4.4.2 unbricking guide?
be aware that this is what worked for me. if you feel a different recovery or pit file may work go ahead. this is my results and wont be held accountable for what happens to you.

I still cant get it working, i keep getting stuck with it saying it doesnt have a pit file even when i try to load it
I flashed my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 a while ago with TWRP and installed CM12. Worked fine until a couple of days ago when I turned on the tablet. It got stuck on the Teamwin-logo and I cant do anything what so ever... Cant turn it off, reboot, go into recovery etc no matter what I do. Even if I let the battery die out the **** starts again as soon as I turn it on again. Can this be fixed and if so, how? Thanks a bunch!
Put it into download mode and reflash twrp.
Hold HOME +VOL DOWN +POWER in that order until download mode appears.

Because that's how you flash twrp. Am I missing something here? :what:
How did you flash twrp the first time?
Also no need to create new threads on the same issue.

I did just like that... going into download mode. But as I said, when I go into download mode I get stuck at "Downloading... Do not turn off target!" I cant get any further. The only thing to do is a reboot -> power + vol up and down which results in being stuck in another TWRP-loop. When ever I try to enter recovery mode by power + home + vol up, either when in the TWRP-boot screen loop or when being stuck in the download mode nothing happens. Oh, and also... I cant turn off my device. I try to empty its batteries and when I plug in the charger it boots up and gets stuck at looping the TWRP-logo.
Sorry for the doublepost.
OK I'm a little confused so please clarify.
You put the tablet in download mode. You plug in the usb cable and you see the added message in Odin?
You then load twrp into the AP slot and press start to begin flashing.
Now are you saying here nothing happens, no flashing at all? What does odin do, can you post a screen shot?

No no... I dont even get to the point where I can load TWRP etc. This is what it looks like:

Not my picture, just trying to illustrate. It has been like this for several hours now and the only thing I can do from here is reboot the device (POWER + vol up + down) which puts the device back in TWRP-boot loop or I can put it in download mod again (POW + HOME + vol down). If I do that the same screen appears and I´m stuck again. No way to enter recovery mode, boot into to the OS or anything.
Hi,

no... I dont even get to the point where I can load TWRP etc. This is what it looks like:

Not my picture, just trying to illustrate. It has been like this for several hours now and the only thing I can do from here is reboot the device (POWER + vol up + down) which puts the device back in TWRP-boot loop or I can put it in download mod again (POW + HOME + vol down). If I do that the same screen appears and I´m stuck again. No way to enter recovery mode, boot into to the OS or anything.

I don't understand what you're saying here. That's the screen EVERYBODY sees when installing firmware.
What else are you expecting to see? :what:
Put it in download mode. When you see that screen start up odin, load twrp into the AP slot. Plug in the usb cable, wait for the added message in Odin then hit start.
That's it twrp will then flash.

Tried solution above to re-flash TWRP/CWM via Odin.
File with recovery (.tar) successfuly sent to phone in Dwonload mode from Odin but after reboot still stuck on Teamwin logo.
Any other advice?
P.S. Phone stuck after Factory reset attempt from Settings menu.
Odin log:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Binary Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..

According to that nothing flashed, did you flash using the AP slot?

I tried in AP first and then in BL. Both results are the same. Nothing changes.
Here is the same for BL slot. What I am doing wrong?

Please post me a screenshot shot of odin after the flash and the firmware you are flashing.
Only use AP nothing else.
I´m so sorry ashyx for have taken up your time. I feel like a retard. I figured out what I was doing wrong (and I´m not gonna tell you how stupid that was) and now my device works just fine. Thanks for your help anyway!

Can I ask why you are trying to flash TWRP for the GALAXY S3 and not TWRP for the TAB S? :what:
Surely you should be flashing this:

Flash the stock firmware this will clear the command that is stuck in cache causing the issue.
For future reference never try to factory reset from android without original recovery.

Thanks. This is still an issue for me.
I only know how to flash from recovery(reboot to recovery choose ROM from internal FLASH etc) but the problem is that I can not enter the recovery mode. I am stuck in this cyclic TeamWin logo. Do you know how to act in such case top proceed wtih stock ROM flashin as advised above?
