in download mode does it say n7100 in product code?
what you need to do if you will be using a pit file is use a factory emergency rom. sadly most the links are down.
i have a MJ9 Emergency rom from india which is 4.3. i will try upload it when i get home in 8 to 9 hours to mega.nz if that is ok.
what i have done is replaced the MJ9 bootloader with MJ5 in that firmware.
if you can't wait, you need a firmware that has BL,AP, CP and CSC all split so you can put them in all the boxes. if i get a chance at lunch i might try find a pre uploaded link for you. just remain calm and don't start flashing stuff randomly

I have searched and searched online and cant seem to nail down a solution to this issue.
My Download Screen displays:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-N7100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
I hope that my Note II is not bricked. I have tried 100's of times with stock, custom recovery's, CWM, I get some kind of error no matter what I do.
my Sammy just doesn't want to work with me.
I hope that we can put together a solution.

to both you guys:- what bootloader are you on/were you on? Kenneth I think you've taken your bootloader above MJ5 as you say your warranty bit is 1. you can't downgrade bootloader at all! flashing the MJ5 bootloader with the file I've uploaded won't help. you will only get FAIL in odin. you need to tell me which bootloader you've been to so I can try arrange a package for you if I can.
Teckin, I need you to answer the above too

First off thanks for your help. Here's the deal I had this installed: DN3_v3.2_by_E-Team_(Vegeta_Edition) Thats a Jelly Bean for the past 2 month's so what ever bootloader works with that is what it had. I was tying to flash an OEM KK: BL_N7100XXUEMJ5_1903221_REV04_user_low_ship.tar I figured we'll since I have this problem let me flash DN5 but in oder to do this I would have to upgrade my bootloader KK that's why I flashed this BL_N7100XXUEMJ5_1903221_REV04_user_low_ship.tar Now I say again The problem was not a result of flashing. My wife was using Skype while on the DN3 and it froze she pushed the wake button once or twice it went black and then gave the reboot logo that I mentioned above. So then I proceeded to try to flash to fix and upgrade in the process. And it gave me the odin results above No PIT Partition

here's the file I've uploaded.
you may well still have taken the device to MJ5 only.
flash all files in here at the same time using odin. let me know how you get on?
I find this method works best for me:
phone is off, load odin, load all the files in, pit, bl, ap, cp, csc no messing around with any ticking other boxes. AP will probably cuase odin to crash for a few seconds when loading just let it do its thing.
then put phone into download mode( I put battery in hold down, menu and power) if the drivers have been installed using that port previous it finds the device in odin instantly and i start the process.
If your flash is successful but doesn't load rom, your data might need to be wiped. i mean if your device is has been stuck on a Samsung screen for 10 minutes after odin said everythings fine don't panic. take battery out, go into recovery (volume up+menu+power) and then wipe data. it should now load the rom.

Do you think I should check erase nand I won't do it till some body who I trust tells me I should don't want things worse.

Ok so here is the deal on my GT-N7100. I bought it this way, but have not been able to flash it back to stock to start from scratch. so to answer your question, I have NO CLUE.
Seller told me that It would only boot into dl screen with usb...So I thought hmm I can re-flash it with stock software and move forward from that point.
Thank you all for the suggestions!

don't click erase.
mate i think you've flashed a new bootloader than MJ5 hence why it fails at that stage.
i am checking to see if i can get hold of a kitkat rom for you that's split to so you can flash pit.
i have never tried it with kitkat mate. plus i don't use odin to flash anymore. i use my octoplus box so files are in a .oct format
Sorry for delay in replying.
again i think youhave a newer bootlaoder if it shows warranty bit.

i dont think it makes a difference to be honest as i think it just uses the same type of way to push it.
i have a silly question to ask you.
what happens if you flash http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n7100//philz_touch_6.41.6-n7100.tar.md5
in ap only without pit ofcourse.
does odin allow you to do this?

what box has your mate got?
check this thread out if he has a z3x (wish i had got that instead of octoplus)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/samsung-s3-i9300-note2-n7100-i9500-s4-t2647558
i have found PIT_N7100XXUENA1_N7100OJVENA1_N7100XXUENA3_Taiwan_Android_4.3
which includes all the files an oct file. if your mate has another box he might be able to find something similar along the lines?

I tried that file as well. Still same issue. I did talk with a guy that does jtag services and he advised me that it's either the eMMC or motherboard issue. He wants to sell me a eMMC Flash service for $75.00. What do you guys think I should do....

We're you able to find the KK files for the N7100 odin flashable? and a little off topic here but I have been dabbling with the idea of unlocking cells. I live in the Dominican Republic and cells here are mostly GSM wondering if you we're to purchase 3 box's to do the widest range of phones which 3 would you buy and from where? Sorry everybody for the off topic.

that's note a bad price for the service i'd say. they have to use a rework station to pull the emmc off and then reball the new one on. however i'd suggest you try flashing a new firmware on first. i will try to dig a new firmware out for you to try but if they keep failing then the only route is emmc and make sure they load a firmware below 4.3 knox free if you want custom roms again

[Q] Note 2 doesn't start anymore

Hi there,
I hope that somebody can help me.
My Galaxy Note 2 stopped working all of the sudden. It was running without any problems when it suddenly restarted without a reason. Since then it does not boot anymore, any attempt ends on the screen where it shows "Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100". The only chance to switch it off after this is removing the battery. The phone was not rooted, it was running stock Android 4.3 before the crash.
Pressing Home and Volume-up during power-on doesn't show the menu so I'm not able to do a factory reset. Instead it shows the android robot and the text "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!"
I was hoping to have a chance to get a copy of the data of the internal memory so I followed the instructions to install the "Heimdall suite". When I start the phone in download mode (or what's left of it) I get the following responses to Heimdall commands:
Code:
C:\Note-2\Heimdall Suite>heimdall detect
Device detected

Downloading device's PIT file...
ERROR: Failed to receive PIT file size!
ERROR: Failed to download PIT file!
To make sure my setup is correct I've tested it with with a working Galaxy S3 which doesn't give me the error messages after the second command.
Is there any way to get access to the data that is stored on the internal memory?
The phone is still under warranty so if there is a way to get access I'd prefer one that doesn't void the warranty...
Thank you very much for any hint!
Regards -- Markus

Battery buy a new one... I had the same prob awhile back Connected to the charger it would fully boot but as soon as you pull the cable it will power off then be stuck at Samsung logo till you pull the battery.
I borrowed a battery to test and sure enough and then ordered one.

It's been a long time since I dealt with a Note 2 (since mine broke), but I'll try to help.
That sounds like a corrupted .pit file. You'll have to research more on your own, but I think you'll have to flash a new .pit file, then flash the stock ROM.
P.S. If you have a warranty, why don't you use it? lol.

Seems like a similar issue as the guy above. Your download isn't corrupted based on the successful MD5 check. I'll try and research more into your issue.
P.S. You rooted? Any modifications?

It's been a long time since I dealt with a Note 2 (since mine broke), but I'll try to help.
That sounds like a corrupted .pit file. You'll have to research more on your own, but I think you'll have to flash a new .pit file, then flash the stock ROM.
P.S. If you have a warranty, why don't you use it? lol.

Hello Irwenzhao,
thanks for replying.
I haven't rooted my phone yet and so I'm not familiar with flashing, so please excuse my questions. I've read pretty much about flashing in the last few days and (as far as I've understood) flashing things to my phone will erase my data from the phone.
My problem is that I've accidentally stored data on the internal memory instead of the external SD-card . SInce I didn't realize that before the crash there's some stuff on the phone I'd like to have back if this is possible.
Of course I will use the warranty to have the phone repaired but my data will most likely be gone from the phone when I get it back.
That's the reason why I'm trying to find out if there's a way to access the internal memory of my phone before having it repaired.
Cheers -- Markus

Your data should be (probably) gone. I highly doubt the possibility that a method to access your internal storage exists. It could be just a bad motherboard. Just let the Samsung Service Centre folks do their job, nothing much you can do.
P.S. your files may already be gone. (unfortunately)

there is a pit file here for N7100 16gb
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927983
extract it and flash in odin. that's the file i used when i messed up with my partition and my phone doesn't boot.

this is the exact problem we had last month with our note 2, working fine then bang.
I tried everything but was unable to revive the machine.
Samsung repaired the phone under warranty even though it was over two years old, a new mainboard was fitted as the emmc chip had failed.
Give them a call you have nothing to lose at this point, our phone was gone for a total of 3 working days.

Samsng Tab 3 7.0 probably hard bricked

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.

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

When you connect charger do tab shows battery charging.
If it shows then probably your kernel is working.

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

i also have an unresponsive sm-t210r that has the OP's issues of a broken looking download screen, no boot and no recovery
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

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
HW REV: 0x5
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)

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.
restarts and power offs are safe at this point. just take 5 seconds longer than normal.
so now we have an operating tablet with recovery and a messed up but working download mode.
checked download mode screen STILL CORRUPTED with the same weird message

i checked for twrp to operate it did. just took longer to boot it
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.

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.

Memory Damaged message, won't reset, recovery mode fails (red triangle,Android down )

Hi, I've searched hi and low for help, but can't find anything that seem to apply to my phone or case. I have a Canadian Mobilicity S3 model SGH-T999V that just bricked itself. Everything is official other than I unlocked it to switch to Wind: Binary Count = 0.
The Story: Last week (Tuesday Sep 22nd 2015) The phone restarted a few times for no apparent reason, then the next day errors about missing files started to pop up to the point that I had to reset the phone to be able to use it. Start fresh all good for a week, then one restart yesterday (Sep 30) and this morning I have a screen that says: "Device Memory Damaged - the data partition has been corrupted.you need to reset your device to factory defaults.this will erase all your date. (reset device button)" I press the button nothing happens, so I take out the battery, leave it while at work, then try again: same thing - I try to reboot into recovery but fail: I get a down android with an open belly cover and a red triangle picture for a bit and the phone reboots back to the damaged memory screen. I can get into the download mode, but Odin doesn't see the phone.
Any advice on how to proceed from here would be greatly appreciated.
I've used Odin before on my Nexus S, but that was many moons ago, it's dead now...
Thanks in advance.

Can you get into download mode? If you can, yet flashing the stock ROM from sammobile.com and flash it using Odin.

Thanks for the reply.
Odin doesn't see the phone and I don't remember exactly how to use it either, but I know it's very model specific, as to files and ROMs to download and install, hence the advise seeking. I guess I'm hoping someone in the know can tell me "follow the instructions for such [more popular] model #, that will work on the 999"...

The T999v is a very popular model in Canada as it was used by Wind and Videotron.
Are you able to boot the phone into download mode? The Samsung drivers are installed? Are you using a Win7 machine?

Yes it boots into Download mode but not into recovery. I have Kies installed along with the drivers, could reinstall that just in case. Running Windows 10 Pro Preview, in the process of upgrading to the final release.

I recommend grabbing the latest firmware from sammobile.com for the phone and flash it in Odin 3.07 with the phone in download mode. I would not bother with Kies.

I've updated my build of Windows 10, that may have been one of my problems, now Odin reacts to the phone but fails:

So much for that! guess it's fried at the hardware level.

I'm thinking you are suffering from a hardware failure as stated by the message you mentioned before. It has happened to others and I can't recall anyone having much success in restoring functionality.
If you want to try again though, uninstall kies from your computer as it interferes with Odin. There is also a newer version of Odin, but I doubt that would make much difference on the S3.
If you are unable to get it working again and want a relatively cheap fix, search ebay for a used motherboard or a device that has a broken screen but otherwise works. Then swap out the board.

The update is failing because the ROM you are flashing has a bootloader that is older than the version currently installed on the phone as verified by the following stop error in Odin:
<ID:0/004> aboot.mbn
<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!

I have a feeling DocHoliday77 is probably right, I've bought a new phone from my provider for 9$ (Alcatel onetouch Pop D3) and posted a wanted ad for broken S3 ... not ready to completely give up on the S3 just yet, but neither do I have high hopes.
Getting rid of Kies
The firmware is the most recent for the SGH-T999V on sammobile.com - I can try without the V maybe

Only T999V firmware will work on the T999V.
If you are selling it and it has a good working display you should be able to get a decent amount for it still. Not sure how much they are going for these days but it's always been the most expensive and in demand part for the device.

I need an expert, my phone may be trashed

This is my first time posting here and I am at a complete loss.
My sister gave me her ATT SM-N910A Note 4. It had started this awful rebooting process. She thought that I would be able to fix it, so I gave it a try. It will still not go past optimizing apps. This is only sometimes. It just reboots, reboots, and reboots. She was running on Marshmallow when this happened. The battery has been replaced.
I took it to the ATT store today and they did not seem like they were very interested in helping me. They kind of blew me off. They told me that since I could not get to recovery booting there was nothing that they could do. So, I proved to them that I could, indeed, get to recovery mode by holding all of the buttons down and putting the battery in. He looked at it for a second, pressed a button and he was done with it. He told me that my system files are deleted. That I need to find someone to help me recover them or I could do it myself. SD updating is disabled. I have to do this from Odin.
So, I think I need Odin files.
Please help!

You need to flash stock firmware through Odin.
Follow these steps exactly and hopefully you will recover your device.
Things you will require.
1, windows pc

3,download odin tool for pc.
4,download stock firmware for your device.
5,your device battery charged minimum 50%.
6,usb 2.0 cable.
7, winzip/winrar installed on pc to extract the firmware file.
How to flash.
1,extract the firmware file you will get a huge file around 4gb.
2,open odin tool and choose AP Tab And upload firmware file that you extracted (ODIN WILL HANG WHEN YOU UPLOAD THE FILE SO DONT WORRY JUST WAIT 4 TO 5 MINUTES UNTIL FILE WILL UPLOAD )
3,put your phone to download mode by pressing (volume down+home+power button all together) hit volume up when you see warning logo)
4,connect phone to pc via usb cable .
5,HIT START IN ODIN TOOL .
6,once odin shows PASS remove usb cable and battery from phone and insert battery again.
7,boot into recovery mode by pressing(volume up+home+power button )
8,navigate via volume keys to "wipe cache" and hit power button and wipe cache.
8,navigate to "wipe data factory reset" and press power button to factory reset.
9,now reboot and wait 10 to 15 minutes and you will boot into system successfully.
11,Let the phone rest for few minutes then complete setup.
Hope this will help.

Just to be sure, what will happen when it reboots? Will it have recovery booting in the top of the screen? Then reboot by itself? Do you mind if I come back here after I get my daughter from school and get everything downloaded for if something goes wrong?
I will be home in about 35 minutes tops.

I had stupid problem with my s5 long time ago. It was sticky power button. I turn off my phone, use drop of alcohol and drop on power button. Then press couple times and let dry for 1 hour or use hair dryer to do it faster. Then turn on. Works perfect after all of this. Not saying tjis is your problem and this will help in 100% but wort to try. Good luck.

So, Odin will recognize my phone, but not my computer. My computer says that the device is not working properly. What is really going on here?

It is not even going to optimizing apps any longer. It used to always at least go to the ATT logo.
Now, it is vibrating non stop while it is off.

Your reactivation lock is on so you cannot flash anything through odin.
Reactivation lock must be turned off to flash.
Only You can turn off from settings/security/reactivation lock and turn it off.
I suggest you take your device to repair center they will take care of it .you cannot flash or do anything because it requires someone who is expert in adb commands to turn off reactivation lock while your device cannot boot.
If your device boot up you can turn off reactivation lock then try odin method that i mentioned earlier.

No way! That is not what I wanted to hear. There is absolutely nothing that I can do for this phone?
Where do I find a repair center?

It said installing system update and got half way through and cut off.

Keep trying to boot into recovery and do factory reset then reboot.

I am going to keep trying. When it does get there (see how I said when and not if, confident) I will come back here. There has to be a way inside of this phone!
The recovery mode looks a little different now. When I got it from my sister, I tried a hard reset. It was red and blue then. Now it is white and yellow and has the option of system/mount(?) I am no expert, but I do believe changes are being made here. I am staying hopeful. I really want to use this phone!

Looks Everything went well but you have to do factory reset from recovery straight after flashing then reboot and wait 15 to 20 minutes on first boot it will take long time.

Okay..
I feel like it is doing something different.
I was able to get into recovery after leaving the battery out while I took my dog to the vet. I got home and it went into recovery. My droid bot fell out dead with his triangle. I pressed the power button and it bought up the menu. I cleared cache and wiped data/factory reset. It turned off talking about verifying some kind of hash tree.. It passed.
Now I am stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 screen. Is this the screen I need to leave it on for first boot?

Yes you have to leave atleast 20 minutes for first boot.
