Hi guys. Im a noob, first post here and need some help. Be searching all day for how to load a stock rom to my device GT-N5110.
Heres the low down.
Purchased in Australia. No samsung updates applied.
Successfully rooted with framaroot.Was running framaroot for more than a month
Install busy box today in normal mode I think. I chose the safe option.
Edited build.prop product model so I could install Navigon
Navigon working fine
Now..........
Unable to change the product name back using es explorer or file expert.
Thought it would change after restart but device entered bootloop. I think busybox was the culprit. Should have looked up what its all about.
Discovered recovery mode and did factory data reset. Can access odin screen on device too.
Device boots but hangs on language selection screen
I have found and downloaded stock rom for it that I found here somehow
I tried "Mrjraider" tutorial "how to flash back to a stock rom"
but odin crashes whenever I load the rom file and it wont recognize my GN8.0
Computer runs on windows 8. Kies is up to date too. Kies reconizes device but is unable to update or anything
Was running odin 4.43 with AriesVE.ops in compatabillity win xp sp3 with administrator .
can try on a win7 computer tomorrow.
This is the name of the file its about 1.2 Gb....... N5110UEDMD1_N5110XARDMD1_HOME.tar.md5 do I need to rename this or something
There was also a .dll that was in the package, whats with that?????
be looking through this forum all day and night and cant quite find what im looking for. If what I seek is here please point me to it. Or if any one here in Brisbane, can fix it for me,What are your thoghts? PM me.
Just want my baby back working again.
when it comes to phones, Kies and Odin never play nice together, so it may be the same with these things..
get kies completely off your computer, and your tablet, reboot, and try Odin again...also try a different cable and a different USB port if at first it doesnt work properly..
will give it a bash. cheers

Firmware update failure via Kies
Hello everyone!
I was trying to update my SGSII GT-I9100 (Gingerbread) to ICS 4.0.4 via Kies. Kies worked well during the downloading part and then it got stuck with nill progress while installing. I had no other option than to disconnect. And now when I switch on the phone it says:
(mobile)--!--(PC)
"Firmware upgrade ecountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I connected the phone again and my desktop is not recognizing it anymore.
What I get from all this is that there is no Stock firmware or something like that and the phone can go into download mode only.
Can anyone help?

Just so you know as this is your first post I would like to say welcome now moving forward this issue is quite rampid on the web and honestly if you did a little searching you would of found a crap load of things to try. First thing I would tell you is since you can get into download mode is download Odin and flash stock firmware back on your phone. In your forum there has to be a restore to stock thread and this is what I would look for first
Whoa GT-I9000?
Totally diffrent device, and wrong forum. Your on your way to HARD Bricking your phone if you don't find the correct forum. Believe me I know from past Experiences .
@MickeyCobra
Is your computer recognizing your phone? If not try this things:
Uninstall Drivers
Connect phone to computer with phone in download mode, and let Windows Auto-Search the Drivers
Recovered finally

Yeah, I got it fixed via recovery mode in Kies. I would suggest never try Kies for upgrading firmware, as it gets disconnected in between !
Thanks

Recovered finally. Now I am having ICS 4.0.4 on my phone.
I had a similar issue with my T989. When I was flashing back to a stock rom through Odin, the connection between my phone and computer got disrupted. I received the error and was told to upgrade the firmware through Kies. I tried to reinstall the stock rom through Odin, and kept getting a failed installation. So I tried again and again and finally it went through. I prefer to keep away from Kies.
Hi All,
Device = GT-N7100
Been flashing my note 2 with several roms for ages now. However today decided I might try abit of STOCK 4.3. So went to Sammobile and downloaded UK BTU.
Flashed the file fine using ODIN 3.9
Started setting everything up and noticed the phone went to sleep and wouldn't wake up, so decided to clear cache and full data reset using the stock recovery.
Anyway started setting up wifi again etc. Left the phone and it went to sleep again and wouldn't wake up.
Then decided I will download the UK Vodafone from sammobile and see if that is any better.
So rebooted the phone into odin mode. plugged in my usb cable, noticed there was no bleeps from the pc. started odin 3.9. Nothing. No device listed.
Any way to cut a long story short, I cant side load when the phone is running I cant ADB to the phone and the only thing listed in "device manager" on my WIN 8 machine is "Android SMS" as a driver which says it is not working. I have uninstalled Samsung USB drivers gone through all the processes listed on the net.
I cannot get the phone to communicate with the PC at all. So changed computer and it automatically installed Android SMS... on the new machine.
So at the moment im stuck with GLITCHY stock firmware and cannot root / cant side load via USB or anything... HELP!!
Also I cannot enable bluetooth, so I cant send a file like that.
Ok problem solved by sheer chance. When i let the phone boot normally I was getting 7 CDC drivers.
Looked these up and found this thread. Cured the problem.

Things have gone from BAD to WORSE
Well this morning downloaded a different STOCK UK N7100 ROM. Flashed this. Everything seemed to work correctly except it has got stuck in boot loop.
Now my main issue is it has locked me out again I need for the phone to boot so I can use the dialler to *#7284# to select USB and not MODEM.
When I boot into CWM it shows that SDCARD cannot be mounted and same with DATA.
When I am CWM or DOWNLOAD mode the laptop or PC does not recognise the device. Any ideads??? JTAG??:crying:
Hi, I started out with a stock tmobile s3 and tried to root it for the first time today, I followed this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mndQZqom3Ac
which asked me to use this cf-root 6.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
when I hit start on that .tar file under odin, it failed stating "complete (write)operation failed)
since then, my device would boot with error "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" nothing else would happen.
I tried to go into recovery mode again and this time when I tried to retry the odin tar install, it would give me a new fail of cannot open com3
When I tried to use kies, it would just forever try to connect and never connect. so I couldnt do anything there.
What can I do? I would preferably try to retain all my saved data.
I also suspect my usb port might be faulty, sometimes need to press it in firmly to make the usb mass storage to work properly.
Thanks in advance

i really didnt note which version i have... noob mistake i kmow. i think it is 4.2...is there any way i can check?
Ok, I totally messed up when I first attempted this. The .tar I used was for an international s3 and I have a tmobile us version!. the OP of the thread says it may even brick my phone if I attempt this on a non international version.
competely my fault, but what should I do to fix this and save my phone?
I cannot connect to kies, reinstalled the drivers and it still wont connect. just gets stuck in "connecting"
The odin now doesnt load a tar because it says "cannot open com3 "
EDIT:
fixed it, odin was not working due to kies running in the background and I finally was able to flash the correct chainfire for my phone
Glad its sorted out. I assume no issues now ?

Uninstall the drivers again, then Try using USBDeview and delete all the devices related to android and samsung... this will remove the possibility of any device driver not being reinstalled properly by windows...
USBDeview 32-bit
USBDeview 64-bit
After this restart the pc and try installing drivers and connect the phone to see if it works...
U can try reinstalling samsung kies.

Windows 8.1 update 1 also can't flash anything to my phone because of drivers. I had tried every driver mtp, Sammy etc.
Here are the latest Sammy if you want to try.

What's the issue with your current rom? If it's working fine don't play with it, if it's not then maybe we can fix the issue.
im using windows 8.1. working & able to flash 4.4.2 with Odin 3.0.9
try install PdaNet & KIES 3
I tried all things you wrote but without any success. At least I did a new installstion of windows 8.1 but also without success. I think if its ossible for me to come into recovery mode I can Flash cwm Version of rom from my sd Card. It seems the onlyest Way to Repair my smarty.
Any tricks to get recovery mode.

Well, what's actually wrong with it, other than Win 8.1.1 not seeing it? You haven't told anyone what problems you're having other than that. It could be just something simple that someone here can help you with; that doesn't mean you have to reflash it...
Bricked - yes or no? - briefing my problem
Briefing my problem for better understanding my problem:
1. i wanted to do clean installation of sammobile rom 4.4.2 by preparing my n7100 before flashing new costum rom by deleting previous rom via a script.
2. after doing this my smartphone isn't recognized by windows 8.1 Update 1 - 64 bit
3. I tried also windows 8.1, 8 and 7 without any success.
4. i'm not be able to flash new custom rom via odin
5. on sd-card i had a cwm of rom and a backup of previous rom version, too
6. i tried to get into recovery mode by pushing sound+, on-switch and home by pushing at the same time
7. i got always immediately into download mode or in bootloop since boot sound starts (it's difficult to reconstruct the exactly way, but i had the problem not to go into recovery mode mot time before. therefore i do it always by "rom manager" appfrom chainfire).
8. i'm not be able to flash new custom rom via recovery mode
9. then i tried all tricks by searching the prroblem by google but all methods didn' work
10.. i'm be able to load my smartphone and the led lights, too.
this is why i think about my n7100 is bricked.
please, please help me!
thanks a lot
So you're bootlooping?
Your best bet is to try to access it from an older version of Windows. Probably you have a bad driver somewhere and it's causing conflicts. I have similar issues from W8, but it's fine on older OS's.
If an older version of Windows can access the device, then you should be able to reflash it. I suggest trying to drop Dr Ketan a PM, he's very knowledgeable and helpful.
see item 3, please.
im on windows 8.1
just download the lastest Samsung Kies (Samsung Kies 3) and install it.
try this

may be your phone has lost root access,try connecting it to kies and use the phone recovery guide if connecting your phone to pc is problem try other usb cables try the thicker shorter ones..

:laugh::good: dr.Kretan was right.. After coming home from hospital i was able to connect my smarty to my home pc and flash kitkat 4.4.2 (france edition by sammobile) via odin.
1000 thanks to all of you for helping to solve my problem :good::good::good:
but one question is open: it's still impossible for me to get into recovery mode i don't understand tihs.any idea?
Hello!
Few days ago i found my Samsung Tab 3, and decided to charge it and biit it up.
It got stuck on Samsung logo when i booted it.
So i did a factory reset using the recovery mode.
After i did that the device booted up. with lots of errors.
I was on the setup screen for my device and these errors appeard and said like core has stopped working and every like preinstalled app on my samsung device aswell (NAME has stopped working). So i was not able to fullfill the setup of my device.
I read about it online and a firmware upgrade could fix the problem ( Like the easiest way i read )
So i did some googling and downloaded Odin and a firmware. Followed a guide and did everything right. BUT the process faild like 8min into the flash.
And now my device is stuck on "download mode" but with the error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I cant get the phone to turn off, nor get into recovery mode or anything else. I tried flash again but no luck.
I also tried another firmware i found. still same problem.
How do i fix this and how can i use my samsung tab 3 again.
WHen i bought it years ago i never really used it. So it's in "new shape" and has never really been used. And now i wanna give it to my little sister for some kids games to play at Xmas.
I hope we can solve this problem.
Thanks in advance

Timmie

That depends on various things, such as the Android version, kernel and change ID. Than also the Odin version you've used and/or the settings during the attempt of flashing. I found that using the wrong Odin version on a particular Android version, that may prevent the flash of being successfull. B.t.w, did you format both user and cache partition while trying to reset to factory default?

Yeah, I've found out what Odin version to use that worked for others. I've downloaded lots of different firmwares and such and tried. ALL fails.
When i did a factory reset i also cleared cash and user.
Now i cant even turn off the damn thing. If i charge it up and start, it just goes directly to the screen where it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" and if i try to turn it off, it just reboots and goes back. And i cant even return to factory reset page.
I think that my Micro-USB cable might not work for this, or is that a thing? Do i need a good cable from PC to Phone for this? Or does any cable work?
I just want this tab to work. been trying for weeks.
Thanks for your reply. I hope we can sort this out.

It is quite easy to turn the device off, for that to happen you have to press and hold the on/off button. You'll see that the device will shutdown and try to reboot and then finally shuts down again and stay off, then release the on/off button.
Are you sure trying to flash the correct firmware with correct changes, etc??
Please share with us the device and Android version, as well as the stock ROM version with changes you're trying to flash.
Put (copy and paste) the output of Odin below.
Another way to get the firmware flashed is by using Heimdall, but for that to happen you first need to rename the extension of the stock ROM (remove .md5 and leave .tar) and than extract all seperate pieces that are contained within the stock ROM.
All those extracted pieces from the stock ROM you have to upload seperately onto Heimdall and try to flash them to your tablet, one by one.
Heimdall you'll find 'here' or use FWUL instead which has Heimdall pre installed, download is to be found 'here' and install it on a USB medium a stick, to put FWUL onto USB, use Balena-Etcher and the download is to be found 'here'.
Micro USB cable does work, but if you're unsure, try another one and make sure using the correct drivers too.
Using Odin, make sure the tablet is recognised and 'connected' in Odin, also make sure 'repartitioning' is unchecked.
If you've used the wrong Odin version, flashing will fail!

Hi, complete novice here, does anyone know where I can get a working Firmware for my Tab 3 v7 (SM-210)?
I have searched through various forum articles here, and tried to install with several builds but none will install. The only one that gets anywhere near is the JASBR build by gr8nole. It appears to install, but on restart, the TAB just sits on the "Samsung Tab3" start screen.
I read that I may need to flash the firmware 4.4.4 (Kit Kat), but can't find it!
The unit is not totally bricked (yet), as I can run TWRP 2.8, with which I created a backup of the original build, but when I try to restore the backup, it fails at just over 31%.
Can anyone help please?
