[Q] i317 at&t soft bricked, please help!

Ok, I know someone is going to yell at me. I have searched for 24 hours on this site before deciding to post. Please don't verbally assault me too badly. Here is what happened, overnight, the phone must have gotten an OTA update. It is now frozen at the Samsung Galaxy screen.
I cannot get to CWM which I did have on 4.1.1
I can only get to download / ODIN mode (vol down, home, power.) So I downloaded Odin 3.07 (the newest i think)
I downloaded KIES_HOME_I317UCAMA4_I317ATTAMA4_578342_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 (AFTER A LOT OF SEARCHING!)
I can get Odin to see my phone, com4, I put the above file in PDA and eventually get this....

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Am I doing something wrong? Is it the wrong file I am trying to flash? Is there any way to get CWM back? Because I do have semi recent backups. ANY help would be appreciated. I'm pretty much willing to pay somebody at this point.
Thanks and sorry if I missed the thread on this. I REALLY tried via google and internal XDA searches

Hey, I used to flash my phone like 3-4x a week and the I bricked it, this video helped me get back on my feet, hope it helps. Just go from there as a base and then you flash whatever you need to install on your phone. Good luck!

1) Try different USB port.
2) did you put your md5 file in a folder? If so check folder name.
3) Run odin as admin

Yes to all 3.... I read something about SDS (Sudden death syndyronme) on galaxy phones. I think that's what happened. I really don't know but I cannot flash anything without needing pit file.

Can you post what it says on Download mode screen? Also, is it OTA update from At&t? If so may be it updated your bootloader version to 4.3. So, try to flash 4.3 rom (may be you can try stock).

Thanks for the reply, I will try a 4.3 rom

Yes, AT&T kept telling me I needed to update. I would try to kill the screen but it would keep popping up over and over. So I finally let it download with the intention never installing it. I guess it did it without my knowledge.

PIT file....
I finally got ODIN to make some progress... But I do not know what to do from here. Picture attached.

Ok, Can you try to flash new stock rom? You can follow here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
Also, make sure that you don't flash "AT&T i317 ODIN 4.3 UCUBMJ4 (Leak) Bootloader & TZ (AT&T Note 2 ONLY)" bootloader as this bootloader is only for 4.3 leaded version.

When Odin fails, are you getting any message on the phone itself? If you look in the top left corner it should display some information. Mine will usually give me a message when Odin fails.

I'm "guessing" you may be having a problem with the ota bootloader. I've seen luck with this thread in restoring a soft bricked phone due to trying to flash from the ota 4.3 to the leaked 4.3:

Do you have pit file? If so try to give all files together in Odin -
pit file in "PIT" & select re-partition checkbox
ROM in "PDA"
and try to flash.

[Q] Soft Bricked Note 2 - Odin Failsn - Kies won't detect my phone - Help?!

I soft bricked my phone somehow, no clue. My phone was fine, battery died with no downloads, or anything running, went to turn it back on after plugging it in to find it bricked at the Samsung start screen.
I've tried restoring it with Kies, which won't recognize my phone is plugged in(??).
I've tried restoring it in Odin with Kies uninstalled, it keeps failing though.
Here's a copy of Odin's log:

My Note 2 has never been rooted, and I'm completely at a loss as to what has happened. I've tried different USB cords and slots around my laptop, but don't have another computer I can try it on currently.
Also, After trying Kies and Odin I noticed in the top left corner of my Note's screen, KNOX WARRANTY VOID changed from 0 to 1, not sure what that means either!
Any suggestions? I'm lost without my phone!
Edit:
After ODIN fails, my phone says unsupported version also in the top left corner. I've tried 3 different stock ROMs.
Edit 2:
And now I can't get into the boot menu, just the download menu.
Kies also won't recognize that my phone is connected now.

Find latest firmware for your region and device and use Odin to flash it.
Regarding the file in your Odin log seems to be old firmware.

I've tried at least 4 different firmware versions, and am having no luck with any of them. Should I be looking for one that includes the OTA update from back in the winter?

Kittylee, take a look at this video " youtube . com / watch?v=GbAJH_mL6N4" I've downloaded the rar version of the clockwork recovery for my GT-N7100 from this site "galaxynote2root . com / cwm-recovery /" you have to choose the "RAR" version since it's thhe one odin uses.
OBS.: Remove the spaces from the links
It worked for me. try it.
:laugh:

Got it un-bricked! I was able to find the latest firmware on SamMobile's website, I can't link it though due to being a new user.

Samsung tab 3 lite SM-T110 bootlooping and nothing helps so far

My SM-T110 is stuck in bootloop. I can use download mode and not recovery.
I have tried so far:
1) Start in recovery mode by pressing vol up, home and power buttons at once.. i get a dead android logo and "NO COMMAND"
2) Flash new firmware by downloading stock software and using ODIN for flashing. It fails.
3) Install TWRP and CWM - again both fail with ODIN.
I tried 3 different cables with odin but get same result.
I googled for days and had no luck so i hope you can help me.

Hi there
Since we are not many here with our device i thought i should send you a message.
Unfortunately i do not have a solution for your problem but maybe it helps if you take a look at what i experienced so far.
I hope you can find my Thread by my profile.
Have you tried to use a different PC yet for flashing with Odin? Would be interesting to know if it helped.
So. Don`t give up. There will be a solution. :good:

Are you using the original Samsung cable? Tried different USB ports? The rom is the latest from sammobile.com?

I've used the original note 3 cable, a note 4 cable and different usb ports.
I've tried it on two desktops and a laptop. The rom isn't the latest from sammobile, i'm trying to flash to original stock rom that it came with 4.4.2.
Should I be trying to flash 5.0?
Thank you though for the response. I was getting a little disheartened with the lack of them.

Yes, try flashing the latest lp rom.

firmware upgrade
I had the same problem ( firmware upgrade encountered a problem) what I found is the one needs to use a windows laptop or desktop with windows 7 installed and use the original cable, Odin 3.09 and find the ( HLTE_USA_TMO.pit ) file, search xda for the file. Put the phone in download mode and then run odin after the phone is connected choose pit tab and add the pit file then next click nand erase all, after that go to ap and put the lollipop firmware i used N900TUVSPL1_N900TTMBLPL1_TMB-v5.0.1 then click start and let it run. It should go thru the whole process, when done and phone reboots into the white tmobile screen turn the phone off and press the power, volume up and home button right after phone turns off to get to the stock recovery and while there select the factory/data reset and hit the power button, then reboot phone and that will boot up the phone and get you to the start screen. I hope this works for you and anybody else with this problem i worked with mine.

Galaxy Note 2 T889 stuck with the logo

I have a Galaxy Note 2 SGH-T889. I have spent the past week reading and trying suggestions on this forum. I downloaded kies but it gets stuck connecting to the phone. I have tried several versions of odin. It gets to sboot.bin and write fails. I have tried the original firmware which took 2 hours to download. I refuse to pay for the upgrade in download speed for something I only need one time. I have tried the pit and firmware combination. The only thing that seem to register anything on the phone was when I tried the modem.bin.....it had a blue progress line but then it failed. I am starting to think it is a hardware problem.
How did it start? The phone was sitting on the desk when it came on and restarted. Then it stop when it got to the Galaxy Note II logo. I can get it into Download Custom OS mode but it will not go into recovery mode. Prior to that I had to data wipe and factory reset because it was having the logs process stopped and other processes popups. I had to wipe and reset about 3 times prior to the failure.
I was using the plain old firmware. I think the phone auto updated to the 4.3. I did not install any custom os. I just use the phone as a phone, the calendar and the camera pretty boring stuff. Did not know anything about odin, kies, soft brick, hard brick, jtag, emmc or sds prior to the failure. Not sure exactly what the difference is between t889, n7100, n7105 or n7108. I have downloaded the android toolkit and tried several of those options but it says to enable debugging but I have no access to the settings on the phone to enable debugging.
The way the phone crashed makes me think it had a hardware failure. If there is anything else I can try, I am willing to try anything.

Same happened to my note 2 [emoji21]
Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk

Odin is failing at the sboot.bin file because the bootloader in the ROM is not compatible with the phone or the phone's bootloader is newer than the bootloader Odin is trying to flash.
Model # has been confirmed in download mode as being the T889? You're using the most recent stock ROM? Have you tried downloading from updato.com? You've tried different USB cables and USB ports?

I am wondering if the phone was doing an auto update and got stuck in the process. I had my phone set to auto update. Maybe that is a mistake...I guess I should have made it ask before it updated at least then I would know what cause the problem.

Yes in the download screen is says sgh-t889. I have tried different computers. A laptop and a desktop., different cords and different ports. I just replaced the battery and the battery seems to charge fine.
Is there some place I can find a bootloader that would work for my phone? I have downloaded the 4.3 firmware from different sites. I am downloading the one from updato again and will give it another go.
I even tried the route 66 one ....nothing. I know it was 4.3 that was on my phone. I had checked on the t-mobile site and it said my phone had latest 4.3 updates prior to the crash since it was time to pay for my minutes.

You are flashing a tar.md5 file in the PDA slot of Odin 3.07?

That try was with the odin 3.12 using the ap slot. I did try 3.07 pda and the 1.87. Yes it is a a tar.md5 file.
Had an interesting occurrence. I restarted the laptop while the phone was connected to the laptop and the laptop went into an infinite start loop. At first I thought, oh great now the laptop is broken....:crying: But then I unplug the phone and the usb cable. The laptop started normal. I plugged the cable in and it still restarted without problem so whatever black hole the phone is in....it will pull in all connected device into the abyss.

Failing to flash the sboot.bin file indicates that the bootloader is not for the phone, the bootloader being flashed is too old, or another usb cable is required.

I will download an earlier version and see what happens.

I recommend flashing the most recently released stock rom, not earlier releases.

I can't seem to find an earlier versions all the 4.1. All the links come back as file not found. They did have a gt n7100 unbranded 4.4.2 kit kat N7100_ITV_N7100XXUFOE1_N7100ITVFOF1.zip so I am waiting for it to download. It says it will take about 2 hours. Or is there some other version that would be better? and where can I find it. Rapid Gator really stinks as far as downloads.

Flash the latest 4.4. Try updato.com.

They don't have a 4.4 for the sgh-t889 so which one would work best out of the other options 7100, 7105 or 7108?
Eva

I forgot that T-Mobile version only went to 4.3 so flash the stock 4.3. Don't use any stock roms for the 7100, 7105, etc.

4.3 gets stuck after the sboot.bin. audit13 said "the bootloader in the ROM is not compatible with the phone "....so if the bootloader in the sgh-t889 is not compatible then I need a different bootloader don't I? Not sure where to find a different bootloader.
Eva

The only thing I can suggest is taking it to a cell shop that can flash it via jtag.
