Hi i've come here many times before for any hiccups that came up for me with my phone but this time I believe I need help. I'll start it off with me earlier this week I was running CyanogenMod 10.1 and felt like I wanted to change it up leading me to isntall synergy onto my S3 (completed two nights ago). Today I decided it just wasnt doing it for me. Picked a new ROM ( Paranoid ).
This is where the problem comes in, I started the usual to flash a new ROM, put it into recovery and then started the factory/data reset. it froze waited half an hour for it to complete but it did'nt. Rebooted it into recovery as now I cant boot back into the software anyways. tried the same thing but wiped the cache and dalvik cache first. same thing happened froze on the factory reset. At this time I decided to reset it completley and get rid of the root, flashing the stock firmware. Odin also froze everytime, I cant even reinstall the stock firmware after failing everytime around the Nand area. I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030) with I think a similar problem im really not sure as I cant do anything but the thing is, is that its for Verizon Galaxy S3 ( im on Rogers Canada). I'm sure I can fix this somehow as I can put it into download mode still but any help from the community would be greatly appreciated.
How far does Odin get during the stock ROM flash, before it freezes up on you?
I would try to Odin a stock recovery. Not the ROM & everything, just the recovery. Then go into the stock recovery and wipe everything.
Then Odin the stock ROM. Maybe try an ICS one if you were failing on the JB one.

It says Nand write start, and then complete (write) operation failed. On the phone in download mode it says Secure check Fail : aboot . CMW works for me still ? is that what you mean ? if so the data/factory reset freezes. I do have a RecoveryGalaxyS3USCanada.tar file in my Root folder, if I should flash that.... but its been so long I forget what its for. Thank you for the feedback ive been searching all day and wasnt able to find anything useful so far. Right now im downloading older stock firmwares to attempt to flash them, hopefully they pan out.
The utility in this thread offers an option to flash the stock recovery. I'd try it out and see what happens!

Flash stock recovery and then boot to the stock recovery and restore to defaults. Then flash a stock ROM.
Stock recovery = Samsung recovery, not TWRP or Clockwork.
I had 2 soft bricks with cm this week. Had to Odin back to rooted stock for one. The other back to rooted stock and had to factory reset with Samsun 3e recovery before the phone would boot.

Okay i've installed everything (drivers, toolkit, deleted Kies) and now when im going in to flash the stock recovery it says its waiting for USB debugging, which I can't re-anable since im stuck in a boot loop. Am I screwed here ?

can you still access recovery? i'm assuming it's twrp or cwm
if so, here's cwm flashable stock firmware from upndwn4par. flash it, boot in, turn on debugging.

Thank you so much! I doubted it at first just because of the other roms and stock ones also never worked but this one has it up and running smoothy. I want to play it safe just so I dont screw up again so I'm gonna ask you guys one more thing.. Would it be safe to try and flash the Paranoid ROM now? ( I dont believe it was the problem earlier since I never actually got to installing it). The problem was something around the lines of not being able to write things onto the device. ex Data/Factory reset freezing everytime on CMW, while Odin also failed everytime it made to the step of flashing/writing in the stock ROM.
Thanks everyone, your're all very helpful !
If it were me, I'd Odin a stock/rooted JellyBean ROM first. Just to get to get all the correct files & structure on there. THEN I would flash whatever you want.
First, sorrt to speak french, but thatnll be more easy for me to tell it.
A partir du moment ou tu peux passer en mode download, tout va bien ^_^
Il m'est deja arrive sur mon teos de corrompre ma partition systeme et de repartir comme si de rien n'etait avec un flash.
Reflashe avec odin et reessaie

i agree with coming from stock firmware when flashing. i would also make sure my cwm was up-to-date while i was at it. i would also boot into recovery and make a nandroid now so you'll have one. with that being said, here ya go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179330
in the above link:
step 1: take the time to backup your imei if you havent already
step 2: this is stock with root already injected
step 3: if you dont have rom manager, download it and update your recovery if you're not running 6.0.2.3 or higher
step 4 & 5 are self explanatory
cheers

The only thing so far (that I have noticed) is that the data/factory reset still does not work, I'm going to continue like you said earlier and flash stock recovery and my own stock firmware for Rogers now that I have turned debugging mode on. my cmw currently is 6.+ and my previous Nandroid backups would also get stuck when I tried to restore to them, I'm assuming that since I still can't factory reset that I wont be able to restore back to them but I will see. Should I make another nandroid even when its still in a semi-messed up state ?
Right now I seriously just want to get rid of the stupid data reset problem.

where are you saying the data/factory reset isnt working? cwm or in android settings?
i would download rom manager and update cwm to latest (6.0.3.0), boot into cwm recovery and try making a nandroid.
and i dont think you're as messed up as you think you are right now. you're rooted, with stock firmware and a custom recovery.
when i was ready, i would update recovery, in recovery make a backup, (still in recovery) wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik, flash rom

Google apps arent showing up for me either, Tried installing them and they did succesfully but i still dont see them. anyways I'm on a slightly lower version of cmw then 6.0.3.0 , can I flash the new version over the current one im on, since I cant install through the play store ?

boot into cwm and flash gapps again. flash twice to be sure. reboot. lemme know
I believe everything is working perfectly now, installed Rom manager from the web and updated cmw. Once more tried to data wipe from cmw and it froze again this time crashing by itself, I then went back into it went and formatted my data and then tried the wipe data, this time it worked for me and I proceeded to wipe the cach and dalvik, installed paranoid and everthing is working fine, ill post an update if i notice anything else happens but so far it looks perfect. Thank you so aton, I appreciate it guys especially you "Beer". Now I can relax on my birthday and stop tinkering around on my phone haha.
( Not sure why Gapps wer'nt working earlie,r but i'm done )
Same problem here
The same thing happened to me while trying to Odin to ATT stock rom. Flash stopped half way and Odin showed failed. Tried to reboot into download mode to repeat procedure and would not go into download mode. Phone will reboot but into android recovery mode. When I try to run an update from sd card I get a "file verification error" and the process aborts. I'm going to try this process to see if I have any better results.
I recently learned to flash,
So I used TWRPV to flash coz i cant access the recovery mode becoz of rooting.
1.Flashed Slim Bean. Worked perfectly.
2.Try to flash jellybam. Got flashin failed.
3. Reflshed Slim Bean.
4. Tried to flash Miui rom. Again got error, after googling i found that i have to delete two lines from the script in miui rom with note++
I did that but not worked, then i myself checked the slimbean script, and deleted some more lines from miui script and flashed, still not worked.
5. I did same to jellybam. Then one of jellybam rom worked.
6. Now after reboot some times note 2 switch off itself when in pocket or in table. Or sometime while charging with big battery on screen with stuck tiny round circle. I have to remove the battery to switch on.
and i can't turn on bluetooth also USB not working. In pc device manager when i connect phone to pc via usb it shows CDC COMMUNICATION INTERFACE (7 times), and Com neon Suspend (1 Times)
7. Now using slimbean but problem is still there.
Any idea what happened to my n7100, is my phones efs corrupted, or soft/hard bricked,
I don't have any backups.
Can anybody please help me. I posted it here coz I can't find the same problem anywhere. There arevsimilars but they are different.
And bad English coz I'm Apatani.
Sorry for that.
My note 3 was SICK from some times (from 7 Months)
Some said it was EFS corruption. my problem was occurred because I flashed my N7100 with MIUI rom built for Galaxy S3.
My Bluetooth was not turning ON (Blank in bluetooth adress), Usb not workin with PC, turning of or Freeze while phone sleeps or auto lock.
Tried many things Flashed different Modem or Kernels, Flashed all of the custom roms available for N7100, Flashed Stock from SamMobile site.
and Lost hope... then I continued my daily life with my N7100 (using Red EYE sleep disabler)
But now today I already using Ditto Note 3 v.3.0 (Used v.1.0,v.2.0,)
today Flashed Ditto Note 3 v.3.1.1 with aroma
Selected everything in Aroma Inataller (Including Updated Modem)
then in First Boot my N7100 Freezed while i was entering my Wifi Pin First Device Setup
Waithed for more then 1/2 hour but still Freezed...
then i rebooted it with removing my N7100 Batteries
then again Boot and it Widened my eyes, my mouth was open, and i was Smilin...
My N7100 Bluetooth was turning ON, my USB is connecting to PC without any secret code for UART mode, my Phablets screen turned off, I waited for around half Hour and then i Pushed my Home Button and it respond and turned on the Screen.
Firstly your very brave to do this or your too Rich to afford a new device if you brick it .
Now firstly Please dont make any changes to the existing Rom that you have downloaded seeing other Rom scripts ,
Now before flashing any rom go trough the OP to understand what OP has mentioned about flashing.
Dont Refer to Google refer to ROM OP OR THREAD any question you have post it there so you will get quick response.

Download Stock ROM,
Flash it it Via Mobile Odin or PC ondin,
Once flash completes Boot into recovery and do a Factory Reset+User data ,this will wipe everything on your device memory .
and then tell which rom you want to flash ill guide on how to do it.

Actually, I think I found out what exactly happened to my note 2.
The ROM I tried to flash was for s3 (MIUIv5 I9300 Note 2 Edition 3.6.21 by @muchopoli83)
This ROM was flashed after removing the two lines from updater script, the assert lines.
But after flashing my phone didn't started so I changed the ROM.
So, what should I do. Is stock ROM still important.
If yes can u please give me the link.
I found one with pit file in xda but that link is not working
And some guys with similar problems are talking that every stock ROMs are not working for problems like this.

And what should I do.
Please tell me.:crying:
Still got the problem
Still got the problem and cant find any solution
anybody any idea
Simply go to recovery wipe everything including format_system,
then choose any rom from N7100 development thread as your suitability .
and flash in recovery as per instructions given in OP
Then tell here what happened
looks like efs croupt no worries just flash stock rom from odin then root it with cf-root method
use triangle away to remove the flash counter and then reboot unroot from su app and ur good to go to service center
just tell them i updated this phone to latest from ota and it failed iam when it restarted there was no cellular

Do you have GSM network?
Flash Stock ROM via PC Odin v3.09 and use re-partition and Nand erase all with PIT file, Freset Autoreboot.
After flash complete everything must be ok.
I had the same problem few weeks ago. I also tried to flash alot of ROMs but same problem exist. found a solution to this problem yesterday this is what I did
1. Download leaked 4.3 it will take time because the file is 1.2gb
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499794
2. After download flash it via Odin in pda. Make sure auto reboot and f.Reset time only have check.
3. If the flash fails, it's ok but make sure it already flashed the radio and modem.
4. Reboot again in download mode then flash Philz recovery
5. Reboot in recovery mode then flash slimbean rom or any rom you prefer.
6. Install gapps
7. Wipe cache and dalvik
8. Reboot and your ok now
I'm in slimrom build 2 now. Bluetooth is ok and no more reboot when phone sleeps after few seconds.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I can not flash any ROM to my GT-P5210 Tab anymore.
I was on BinDroid ONE P5210 LITE V3.0.0, but since it is discontinued
and 2 other ROMs rolled out over the past days I wanted to give it a try.
- went back to stock with official firmware from "sammobile" for my device,
- flashed TWRP with Odin 3.07
- flashed ROOT with Odin
- went to recovery did factory reset + dalvik/cache (
- flashed new ROM (neither ROM Pimpdroid or Grievous is working)
after flashing Tab goes into a bootloop to recovery. First boot after flash takes some time in the Galaxy Tab3 Logo but in the end it reboots into TWRP. I have tried CWM too with the same results.
I am not totaly new to flashing, did it with my I9000 and now with my I9300 int. but with this Tab3 now I am lost.
Any ideas are much appreciated.
regards and sorry for my english its not my native tongue

did u try root check app to c if u r truly rooted? is ur su updated? if so try reflashing the recovery...n the root file. do u have the stock kernel?
THink I Got a fix
This worked for me. The TWRP does NOT actually wipe anything. go to settings in whatever rom you are running, and do a factory data reset from there. Let it wipe all app data and EVERYTHING. Then go through the steps to install whichever ROM you want. It worked for me!! Post back and let me know if it worked for you too. I tried for 3 days to install anything, and this is the only thing that worked.:victory:

I'm uploading a stock firmware that can be flashed using ODEN. I have not tried this file, I just downloaded it, before I flashed anything, in case something went wrong. I'll post the link when it finishes uploading. Good luck! Post back and let us know how it went.

I tried your method and it worked. Another thing that works is first thing when you enter TWRP check if system is mounted, if not tick mount and then wipe the way installation of the rom suggests. This worked for me too. Thanks for ur time and the fish
Oh cool, I'm glad to help. I also tried to manually mount system, but untill I got that first ROM installed, it just un-mounted itself again. I hope these problems will be sorted out. Both recoveries act choked down somehow. (TERP, CWM) Looks like "source manifest CM 10.2 "thread is making exciting progress. I can't stop watching it. Most of it is over my head, but google helps me, in trying to grasp what they are saying.

can someone recommend a clean rom for gt-p5210
Okay. So last night, I tinkered with my Note. Rooted it and put TWRP as my custom recovery. Me, being a first-time rooter, was happy with success. I downloaded some recommended root apps, stuff like Pimp my Rom and stuff. So I customized it and rebooted a couple of times. This morning, I overclocked the CPU and rebooted it the natural way by Power off and on. I don't know what happened next. The screen was just stuck at the word Samsung after the device name appeared. I panicked and turned it off by holding the power button. I tried turning it on a couple more times but it failed. I tried rebooting into recovery mode which turned on fortunately. I had a backup last night and I tried using it. When it rebooted, it showed the device name and then was stuck the black screen. I tried wiping data and cache but it still didn't work! Now it's just stuck at a black screen. HELP! PLEASE. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

I'm searching for the stock ROM... I found the official stock ROM and a ROM without Knox. Warranty is useless since I tripped off the flag. The official stock ROM has so many firmware versions and I'm not sure if my version is the one on the site. Don't want to hardbrick it. Also I accidentally cleared internal memory along with the data and cache. Now it says "No OS installed"

Any rom will do , preferable your country rom , but any other region will do as long as you are flashing the correct rom version variant - P600 or 601 or 605.

I guess I'll try flashing CleanROM or some Stock Knox-free one. The reason I rooted was because of the bloatware I don't use. Some ROMs say to transfer to storage then boot to Recovery Mode. Is either way okay, or should I really stick to Odin? (Sorry. Noob here XD)

Custom roms will not cure your issues, only stock rom via odin.

So, wait... Are the Stock Knox-free ones still custom ROMs? And I need the official stock ones. Okay. I'll get on to them.

Well, the downloads are failing, and I think it's because of my slow internet. I'm gonna try maybe tomorrow or another day when I'll have free time. Being a student sucks. Thanks for the help, though. I appreciate it.
yeah I just did the same. I've created a thread but no response yet. I am also stuck in a black screen after "samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition" (giant name...) I've tried to install my onw backup of original rom and [ROM][12/30/2013][P601][XXUBMJA][Aroma][v1.0] by gcrutchr, both no success stuck at black screen but with backscreen light on... for many minutes and nothing... Please any ideas?

Best idea was posted here.. Stock rom via Odin.. Then if you want root it again or flash custom recovery (like TWRP) and then flash your favourite custom rom..

If Wiping data/factory reset didn`t solve, then you should flash a stock rom via odin.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I flashed the stock rom, and it's now good as new. Took a while to redownload everything when it was restored but now it's running quite perfectly! Thanks again!

Downloading the "STOCK"(I mean the real official one, the one that was in the tab straight of of the box) ROM from Sammobile and flashing it worked for me. Also, don't use the other custom ROMs. I don't think they'll work.

Next time I'd be careful with overclocking As far as I know you need a custom kernel that supports OC. And because this device is still fairly new we don't have those yet.

Ahaha... I guess I may have overdone it a little. Or a lot. Well, time to break this in again. Hope it won't hardbrick when I root this thing.

Many many thanks, it worked! I will be more carefull this time.
Hello everyone,
After a long fight to try and get this phone back to normal, everything seemed good,
except not really
I started on a buggy CM11 version. Sick of it, I downloaded a 4.4.4 stock rom. I had to disable firewall and defender, but I got Odin to flash my md5. I got through everything and it booted successfully. After signing in and all that jazz, I find out that my WiFi isn't working. After a few reboots, My 4G finally works and everything seems to be steady.
Then, after exploring the rest of the phone I find out that all my apps from last ROM are still there. I know that you are supposed to wipe before flashing, but I was told that Odin will take care of that. It obviously didn't.
After THAT, I try to boot into Recovery as the next sensible step is to try to wipe my data and cache. I turn the phone off and press (Vol up + Home + Pwr) and the first boot screen shows for a moment. It says in blue "RECOVERY BOOTING" in the corner. Right after, it disappears and in another second it does the same screen without the "RECOVERY BOOTING". And as presumed, it does a regular boot.
What did I miss? How can I wipe my phone from recovery? How can I fix my problem with Wifi?
Reflash in Odin.
Make sure you have the correct stock rom. If you flash the "md5" you may have flashed the wrong thing. The md5 is not tge firmware, that is just the code that verifies your firmware file is not corrupted.
If your old apps were still there, you flashed the wrong thing. There is no way to flash stock firmware in odin and not wipe the data partition.
You are correct then
Yeah, I flashed a tar.md5 in Odin. It gave me a new ROM but all my apps are there. After all that, I still can't go to recovery. I tried using the terminal and ROM Toolbox to go there, both didn't work. Can I just leave it as it is and find a way to recovery or is the only way to go to bootloader and flash a correct file to get to recovery?
Flash twrp and see if it will reboot into recovery, then factory reset and flash latest firmware with Odin right after. Odin will NOT wipe data. It has to be done manually

It depends on what you ate flashing.
If you are flashing a full stock factory image it will wipe user data. If you are just flashing a system partition it won't.

How do I know whatever I download is deodexed? And I went to a page of ROMs someone gave me and I downloaded the NK2 version, which also gave me a tar.md5. If I want the correct thing to flash, what should I flash?

The first post of any customized stock rom will tell you if its deodexed. If it doesn't say it...its not.
@Essem G:
Any updates for us? I'm following this thread because I have similar problems with my WiFi not working after upgrading from 4.2.2.
Any luck getting TWRP flashed?
Also I believe that the stock firmwares do come as tar.md5's, as in the file: M919UVUFNK2_M919TMBFNK2_M919UVUFNK2_HOME.tar.md5 from ShinySide's stock firmware thread.
As for the WiFi issue, from the hours of reading I've done it looks like this problem occurs when you upgrade your firmware, but it no longer matches the bootloader. Such as bootloader (Baseband) showing MDL, but Build Number showing NH7, NK2, etc. What does your show?
This thread may be of use to you when you get back to a working ROM. Good luck!
@RavenMind1
Everyone has been saying different answers and i've put off fixing my device for a while. I'm just afraid i'll brick it forever and have another nightmare after this current one. So no, there has been no progress. I think i'm gonna try to flash Philz and format my system, then flash a deodexed rom. @g7755725 said that you can flash TWRP, but I usually use Philz. It appears to be that I have lost root access because no root features work and SuperSU won't recognize it. Will everything work or am I setting my self up for disaster?
Edit: Where can I find a deodexed rom? I desperately need one, thanks

@g7755725 I downloaded a deodexed rom from the SkipJacks guy (different page than what you sent me) and it's a little under 9MB... how could this possibly be a ROM?

If you're trying to go back to complete stock then just Odin NK2 firmware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/firmwares-official-mdl-mk2-nb4-t2816508 I used the NK2 from here about 2 days ago to go back to stock.
