[Q] [Solved] N7100 Odin flashable custom rom - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I wiped my phone system and data so as far as I know there is no way to copy a flashable ROM onto the device. I therefore need to flash a ROM through ODIN but the stock ROM is taking forever to download and the download stops halfway and I can't resume.
Is there a small light weight custom ROM that is ODIN flashable that I can download somewhere? I tried google search but couldn't find anything.
Thanks
Solved the problem by using adb push to copy a flashable ROM to device while in recovery mode.

The only way you can install the zip file is by using a custom recovery, here flash this using Odin:http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/p5110/philz_touch_6.12.8-p5110.tar.md5
but first you have to move/copy the zip file of the rom or whatever you want to install to your tablet or micro sd card. and when you done flashing the recovery file, you will have to boot your note in recovery mode, you can do it by pressing volume up and power button at the same time. then you can choose the zip you want to flash.
and if you want to go back and install the stock firmware here is a link of the note 8.0 4.2.2 official firmware US version:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9QvmNs9dpD-M21DaF95NWdNUW8/edit?usp=sharing
thanks a lot for the info!! i have got Clockwork Recovery 6.0.3.1 on it but i will flash it with the one you suggested. you have cleared things up for me and i appreciate it.:good: my tablet has been down for about a week now while i have been trying to figure it out, just going to a black screen after the samsung logo. what rom would you suggest for firmware 4.3? i know samsung does not have an official release yet.

[Q] Bricked my S3 after updating firmware

I've been trying to get cyanogenmod 10.2.1 to work for my phone, and I was getting assert failures in recovery. I found an AIO firmware update by freeza and flashed it in CWM and rebooted and now my device is hard bricked. I can't access recovery, download mode, and the phone will not power on. I flashed this file; Galaxy-S-fre3-MB1FirmwareModemAIO.zip, specifically. Is there any way to revive my device without having to JIG it or is it just done for? I was also on a KitKat rom.

Sounds like its toast without a jig or JTAG. You could have switched to PHILZ ADVANCED CWM recovery. This recovery works better than TWRP or regular CWM. I had many of different issues with these 2. This zip is not a ROM, but a modem zip.
JB india firmwares link please. I cant download via Samsung link

If you have a Virgin Mobile SPH-L710, you can use the de-brick image below, otherwise you need to search around Google for one. You would search for "debrick image for <model numeber>".
I got this problem solved with the help of zachf714, invisiblek and a special thanks to xstefen for providing a working debrick image. Here is the link to the working debrick image that xstefen provided: http ://download.xstefen.net /getdownload.php?file=./xstefen/mmcblk0_backup.bin.zip. (Remove spaces) all you need to do, is write this image to a micro SD card using linux's
Code:
dd
command or Win32 Disk Imager. Then put the sd card in your phone, boot into download mode and flash a stock ROM using Odin.
Wish anyone else who have this problem luck.
P.S. I am not responsible if anything happens to your phone because of this.

Are you sure you're using correct versions of Odin+firmware?
Did you uninstall KIES before flashing?

and no kies is still installed but i did flashed another samsung phone using odin and it worked, but ill try without kies installed, we never know :fingers-crossed:
Double-check that you have a working firmware image. I used the stock firmware package with this MD5 to restore a bad Cyanogenmod flash on a GT-I5510M phone:
Code:
a8ab8ec4154548b6a9873e6c04937c96 *BMC-I5510UGKC5-20110331113635.zip
38375ba92ffe3819bc25f7e28dd28812 *I5510UGKC5_BMCKC5_HOMEDOWNLOAD_TEST.tar
The ZIP file contains the TAR file. Flash the TAR file to the GT-I15510M phone through Odin in "One Package" mode with the OPS file for this phone.
I haven't been able to find a custom recovery package that is actually compatible with this Samsung Galaxy 511 submodel. Most of the forum posts regarding the GT-I15510 family are inaccurate or sloppy.

[Q] Phone will not turn on!

So I flashed cm 10.2 on my Galaxy S3 AT&T, and forgot to flash the right gapps, so I did that, except I forgot to do a factory reset when I flashed them. When I went to reboot, my phone would not turn on, nor get into recovery mode. It keeps showing the Samsung logo with the little CyanogenMod figure underneath it, and keeps vibrating repeatedly while trying to turn on. This is not a boot loop (I think) because my phone doesnt even get as far as the arrow animation that keeps going in circles. All I can do is access download mode. Can anyone help me? I have tried taking the battery out multple times and waiting for the battery to charge and then trying to turn it on, to no success.

If you can get to download mode, try flashing a stock file via Odin to reset your phone to working conditions. Thereafter, you can go back to a custom ROM. Would you recall what firmware version you were on prior to flashing CM? If it was anything older than 4.3 (e.g. 4.1.2, 4.1.1), you can Odin back to 4.1.1. If you already had 4.3, you would need to Odin back to 4.3 following the instructions posted in the thread below ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722660&page=3. Scroll through carefully for the file you need for 4.3. Otherwise, you can find the Odin flash-able 4.1.1 stock file on sammobile.com

First you will need to download and extract the Odin tool. Odin is Samsung's tool for flashing (installing) firmware. You can download Odin v3.07 via the link below ...
http://www.mediafire.com/download/772dlmuaxfgm0x2/Odin307.zip
Once you have downloaded it, extract the files and look for the executable file (*.exe). That's the one you will need to run to open Odin.
We also need to identify the appropriate firmware to flash. You did not answer the earlier question on what Android version your device was on prior to flashing the custom firmware. This is important to let us know which official version you can safely revert to (4.1.1 or 4.3). If you were an older version than 4.3, you should flash 4.1.1 but if you were already on 4.3, then you should stick to this. Either way, you can download the 4.1.1 file via this link .. http://rapidgator.net/file/681a28a5...ATT_I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_Original.zip.html?
Download the files to your PC and extract.
To flash via Odin, open Odin.exe on your PC
Click on the PDA tab and navigate to the file you just extracted. Select the file ending in *.tar.md5 (For 4.1.1, this would be I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar.md5). Make sure this file is showing in the PDA tab.
Boot your phone into download mode and connect to your computer with a good quality micro-USB cable. Make sure your phone is recognized by Odin. You should see the message Added in the left pane.
Do not check or uncheck any boxes other than the defaults.
Click on start and waiting for firmware flashing to end and you see Pass. Your phone will reboot at this stage. You can disconnect from your PC
However, for 4.3, it looks like the Odin flash-able file has been taken offline so you would need to this via custom recovery. That's a different process so please revert on your Android version first so we'll know whether this is required or not
I was running JB 4.3, and I am planning to flash 4.1.1 as you've said. I am downloading that rom from the SamMobile site, however it is taking quite a while...
I understand that it shouldnt be a two minute download, however its been 2 hours and only 210 MB has been downloaded.
Also, I have Odin v3.09, which in the place of a PDA tab, there is an AP tab... should I place the file in the AP tab?

Please do not try to flash 4.1.1 if you were on JB 4.3 otherwise you could hard brick your phone due to the secure bootloader in 4.3. You need to revert to stock 4.3 via custom recovery. You may go to the thread below for instructions...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
1) Flash custom recovery (I would suggest TWRP because of the GUI). In Odin v3.09 use the AP tab in place of PDA. You can download TWRP for your device via the link below ...
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-d2att.tar
2) Download the stock restore zip file in the thread above and copy to your (micro) SD card. The (TWRP) stock restore zip is also available via the following link .... http://www.mediafire.com/download/30idxwhg2hidxx2/ATT_I747_UCUEMJB_StockRestore_2282014.zip
3) Flash the custom recovery file via Odin. Remove battery immediately the flashing is complete to stop reboot.
4) Place the SD card with the recovery file in your phone
5) Reboot into recovery mode by simultaneously holding down the Volume Up, Home and Power buttons. Hold all buttons until you see the blue flash across your screen, then release power button but keep holding the volume up and home buttons until the Android image appears.
6) Select install and navigate to the stock restore file. Swipe across screen to flash and wait for installation to be complete.
7) Clear cache/dalvik and reboot to system
If you are unable to boot to recovery, then you may still try flashing using Odin v3.09. You may follow the instructions in the thread below and load all the respective partitions. You would need to use the version that has separate flashable files as the single *.tar file has been taken down.

Just to reaffirm since I am not very experienced and do not wish to break my phone:
1) Download the twrp 2.6.3.1 d2att.tar file and flash it to my phone in download mode via Odin.
2)Download zip file on my computer, and take out the microSD from my phone, and copy the file to my microSD.
3) I am confused here because you stated to flash the custom recovery in step 1... anyways when flash is complete I immediately take my battery out to stop the reboot.
4) I insert the microSD with the zip file containing the stock rom
5) Now I should be able to reboot into recovery mode on my phone, though I could not beforehand.
6) Once in Recovery, go to Install and flash the custom stock.
7)Wipe dalvik cache and cache, and reboot to system.
Please clear up any confusion, I am very cautious and inexperienced. Sorry.

Yes, you are correct. What you are doing in step 1) is flashing custom recovery to your phone. Custom recovery allows you install zip files to your phone and is more functional and versatile than stock recovery.
The zip file referred to in 2) is the stock restore zip. This is the file you will be flashing from (custom) recovery and is the one from the following link (http://www.mediafire.com/download/30...re_2282014.zip). Once you have downloaded it to your computer, save to an SD card so you can insert it into your phone to flash.
The battery pull is after flashing the TWRP file. You then have to boot into (custom) recovery mode to flash the stock restore zip from the SD card.
You are OK on the other steps. Trust this clarifies. Let me know if you encounter any issues.
I have done everything you said, I flashed the TWRP file via Odin, and then i copied the stock zip file to my microSD and put it back into my phone.
I am able to boot into recovery, and everytime I go to flash the stock rom, midway through the flash my phone starts rebooting. Even if I try to clear dalvik cache and cache first, once they are cleared my phone automatically starts rebooting. What do I do now? The zip file is there and I can reach TWRP recovery, but the flash wont complete because my phone starts rebooting. I am at a 100% battery right now so I do not know what the cause of this could be. Please help, I cannot tell what I did wrong if I did do anything wrong.
Try installing the latest version of Philz Touch for the d2lte. Some people have good results with TWRP. I found Philz Touch, which is based on CWM, better for my purposes. Philz can be installed via Odin as long as you down the tar version.

Ok, something very strange has occured.
Since my phone would not flash the original stock rom, I decided to go ahead and flash CM10.2 and its gapps to see if it the problem was with my phone or with the file. Everything worked fine and my phone booted and ran CM10.2, but then I had absolutely no signal anywhere. I could confirm something was wrong because there were multiple AT&T users near me that had good signal. So then I went to flash the stock rom, and it worked. I cleared dalvik and cache like normal after all these flashes and performed factory resets, however when I flashed this stock rom, it worked but 1) I could not connect to Wifi 2) I could not use apps with root requirements, and Root Checker said I did not have root access, even though I had definitely rooted my phone earlier when I first ran CM11 and CM10.2
Should I root again? Please help, my phone is working and I can go into download, stock recovery, and normal mode.

The whole idea was to get your phone back to working state. Thereafter, you can build up on the food chain. The stock file you flashed restores the phone to near factory settings including a complete stock (official) firmware, stock recovery, resetting the flash counter. Unfortunately, it also removes root as well. You can, however, re-root in a number of ways. You may also do as Audit advised and reflash Philz Touch custom recovery which would allow you flash any custom ROM of your choice. You do not necessarily need to root to flash custom ROMs if you have custom recovery. However, if you need to use apps which require root, I would recommend you try SafeRoot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758). Very easy to use and worked quite well for me.
Finally, you should be able to restore your Wi-Fi from settings. Wi-Fi setup should have happened during the set-up process upon reboot after the firmware installation but sometimes this step is skipped. If you go to Settings, you should be able to enable and set up Wi-Fi.

Requesting I747MVLUFNK2 bootloader for Telus Samsung Galaxy S3 with Android 4.4.2

Hello!
I am very new to tinkering with phones. I had a Galaxy S3 sitting idle and thought I'd put Cynaogynmod on it, which is where this all started.
This phone has 4.4.2 installed. Modem = I747MVLUFNK2
I made the mistake of installing I747MUMUEND3 modem. Now my wifi won't turn on. I've done fair amount of searching and couldn't find original modem for 4.4.2. Help please!
Easiest way to fix the issue would be to re-flash the nf2 firmware from sammobile.com. Alternatively, you could download the firmware from sammbile.com, extract the modem, and flash just the modem.

Thank you.
I have downloaded the firmware from sammobile.com. It is 910MB in size. I was going to put it on phone's memory card and load it via recovery. However, even though I have deleted absolutely everything from the card, Windows is telling me it only has 768MB of 968MB free. I'm not sure what's going on with this. Any ideas?
I really only need the modem firmware, how do I extract just that from the entire thing?
Edit: Okay, so I was able to open the .tar.md5 using 7zip (It complained but opened it). I see a bunch of files in there (see screenshot), which one would correspond to the modem?
The NON-HLOS.bin file is the modem.
I have the whole NK2 firmware (TELUS) on my PC, do you want a download link?

Thank you. I was able to download the entire firmware from sammobile. If you take a look at post#3, it explains why I am not able to put it on the phone's memory card.
As an alternative, you could re-flash the entire ROM using Odin. The file gets transferred to your phone from your PC with the USB cable.
Before flashing anything, you should confirm the bootloader on your phone. You can do this by donwloading the Samsung Phone Info app from the Play Store. Flashing the wrong file can brick your phone.
I can certainly give that a shot. However, right now the problem is I can't access the internet as phone's wifi will _not_ turn on. So there's no way for me to download something off Play store.
Edit: I am learning how to sideload, seems pretty straight forward. Since I already have the correct firmware from sammobile, should be able to side load it. Although, audit13 has now scared me a little I must say.

No need for wifi. Find a link and download the APK file. Copy the apk file to an external sd card and install it from the SD card.

Thanks for that. As per the app, bootloader version is I747MVLUFNK2.
Now, I do have the whole firmware downloaded. I would love to simply install it by copying it onto my sd card and installing via recovery. However, the filesize is 910MB. My sd card is 968MB, I have deleted everything on it and still Windows tells me I only have 764MB free. How can that be?!

Do not unzip the tar.md5 file. You flash the file as is using Odin when the phone is connected to your computer. The phone needs to be in download mode to flash with Odin.

Thank you! I had to look up how to use Odin but with it I have successfully flashed stock ROM and my wifi connection is back!
Now, onto the actual task of installing cynogenmod on this S3. Will Google that.
Flash Philz recovery for the d2 LTE, flash SuperSU apk from recovery, copy cm 11 to your phone, boot to recovery, wipe cache, dalvil, system, data, flash cm.

I flashed Philz recovery (philz_touch_5.15.0-i9300.tar.md5) via Odin and now phone wont boot into recovery. I had Auto Reboot checked in Odin but phone booted into Android after. I did eventually get a PASS from Odin.
I can put the phone in Download mode just fine.
If I press Volume UP + Home + Power button, I do see Samsung logo with blue text on top left. Then screen goes blank and then phone boots to Android (seems like it reboots). I had tinkered with rooting the phone before, so I don't have stock recovery software atm. That might be the reason it won't boot into recovery. I would like to go back to stock recovery and give flashing philz recovery a shot again. How do I go back to stock?
Download this version of Phulz: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/philz_touch_6.48.4-d2lte.zip.md5/
Open Odin, connect your phone, uncheck everything except f.reset time. Flash Philz. When you see reset in the status window, remove usb cable, remove battery, replace battery, boot into recovery.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
The given link to Philz was no good but I was able to find the correct one. I have CM11 running now.
Well, it's interesting that I don't have the Google Play app!
Edit: Never mind. I saw that CM11 does not come with Google Apps. I will flash them separately.
audit13, thank you for all the help!
Glad you got it working.
The link I provided was for the latest version of Philz to be flashed via Odin. Strange but the link works for me. Doesn't matter now
