[Q] Stuck in spash screen

Earlier today, i was going to install drivers for chainfire3D on my 4.1.2 stock rom on my N7100 international.
After the drivers installed my phone got stuck in the welcome screen (the first one that shows up after starting the phone).
It should be said that I'm pretty new to rooting, flashing, etc. But of course I wouldn't let that, or any number of warning messages during the installation stop me.
So my question is, how do I do (if possible) a full factory reset? I can't get the phone connected via Kies, naturally, and I can't find a firmware file for my region (Norway).
If I could find a firmware file for my region, could I just install it via Odin? If so, where can I find one? Closest I've come is a Greece firmware on samsung-updates.com

Place your cell in Download mode, then use Odin to insert the official android 4.3 package.

Start up Kies (no cellphone connected), then go to Tools / Firmware Upgrade
It will ask you for the model number, so put that in.
Then it will ask you for either the serial number or MEID, so put that in, too.
Then it should download a big-ass android package (around 1.5 gigabytes).
After the package is decrypted, copy it from the temp directory to some safe place on your local hard drive.
Use Odin in Download Mode to install this package.
The package should end with .tar.md5

If you accepted the official OTA 4.3 update, and you tried to revert your bootloader back to before KNOX... you're lucky since that should have completely hard-bricked your phone. I think, given to your description and assuming you've got the KNOX bootloader now, your best bet would be to try to repair the install by doing what I think is referred to as a "dirty" flash... which basically means you don't format or wipe your data before you attempt another installation of the same version.
I don't know for sure though, so don't take my word without someone who knows more verifying or refuting this.
Good luck, I'll be interested in seeing what you wind up working out.

I downloaded the mk3 modem, and flashed it in odin, it fixed the softbrick. i rooted it with cf-auto and it went through no issue. disabled knox no problem, and now got cwm working.

Please identify my SM-T705 build!!!

Hi there,
I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE version, which I purchased through Ebay - I believe it came from Asia somewhere as it showed up with an international adapter for the power supply. It was sold as a "Verizon" model - I ditched that sim card and have been using it with Bell Mobility in Canada.
Recently, I tried to update my firmware using the latest version of Samsung Kies and I'm running Windows 10 latest version. For some reason Kies needs to reinstall the USB driver before performing the update to the firmware and this causes Windows 10 to crash without fail. (This is also happening to my Note 3 - Samsung informs me Kies is not compatible with Windows 10 although it seems to work for everything else - just not the update). Kies doesn't seem to care that I already have the latest drivers installed.
I can't update via the tablet because my device has been "modified" - rooted.
Finally I went to Sammobile for the firmware, however I can't find any US firmware for a compatible carrier under SM-T705. I am debating flashing the Bell Canada firmware, but the model is listed as SM-T705W. In case this is not ok and I need to revert to the original, I'm hoping someone can help me identify my build? The samsung agent offered to identify it but once she discovered it was from outside Canada she said she had no information. So much for Samsung International!
Please help! I'm having battery issues and I'm hoping updated firmware will help, plus I would like to have the latest version of Android. Thanks!

If you're in Canada then just flash the Canadian firmware.

Hi there, forgive me for being thick, but how do you tell it's Cellular south, and what do you mean by region XAR? I'm sure that the fellow I bought this unit from flashed US firmware, however I can't find it on the Sammobile site - in fact I can't find any US carrier firmware listed for this model.
As mentioned above, I did find Bell mobility (Canada) firmware listed for the SM-T705W but nothing for the SM-T705.
Further explanation greatly appreciated!

You can flash any firmware for that model, so just flash the Canadian firmware, no point in flashing a us firmware.

Ok great. I would like to locate the US firmware though for future use. I travel alot in the US and in the event I need a different carrier's modem... Are the US carriers listed somewhere else or am I blind? http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/search/SM-T705/

You have root so install twrp from the development section and do a full back up of your current system.
You can then restore as you please.
Seems no US firmware for the t705.

LOL... ok now I have another problem. I had already downloaded the Bell mobility file from Sammobile and hadn't seen this response - in the meantime I hooked up with Odin and my download failed twice - I don't get it. I just did my Note 3 10 minutes ago without any issues. Rebooted device and odin between both attempts.
Thoughts?

Don't flash anything until you make that full backup with TWRP, trust me it will save a massive headache should you need it.
Download Flashfire from the link below then set your date back to August, run Flashfire then load up the firmware, select the Flash firmware package option.
From the partitions list select system.img and boot.img only.
Under the reboot options select download mode then hit the flash button.
Once it has flashed and booted to download mode you will need to flash a lollipop bootloader (assuming you are flashing lollipop?)
You will find them in the bootloader thread.
After that just reboot the tablet, it will take about ten minutes for it to fully boot.

Uh... ok you lost me early on. I downloaded the file - how do I install it? I remember using the TWRP thing several phones back when I was messing with custom ROMs. I had a problem with recovery and since then have never gone this route - I've been happy with stock rom and root - installed using Odin... sortof the KISS principle.
I can try TWRP, but could you dumb down the instructions a bit - as I mentioned, I'm a bit thick - particularly with some of the terminology! LOL
This is the file I downloaded - yes, Lollipop - I don't understand why I have the Odin Fail - google isn't helping me understand either. I have root, USB debugging is enabled and I followed the same steps as with my Note 3 - the message said write fail.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/52301/T705WVLU2BOE4_T705WOYA2BOE4_BMC/ Is this what you mean by bootloader?

TWRP - flash with odin then boot into twrp using POWER + HOME + VOL UP - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...p-2-8-6-1-unofficial-sm-t800-805-807-t3074633

Ok but those "bootloaders" are custom ROMS are they not? And I don't see my device on the TWRP site - I have the LTE version, it only shows Wifi.
Really all I want to install the Bell stock firmware (assuming it is indeed compatible - SM-T705 vs SM-T75W) I linked to from the Sammobile site and then do Chainfire's auto-root.
Why isn't Odin writing the firmware to my device? I've never had this issue before and I don't see what I might have done differently with this device - it's the first time I've tried to update it, but I had no trouble rooting it with the chainfire auto-root.

No they are bootloaders they are required to boot the firmware , roms are the os.
Odin won't flash because certain devices will refuse to flash another regions firmware.
My advice to you is to flash the lollipop bootloader first, to make sure it will flash then flash the firmware with flashfire.
Obviously make the twrp backup first.

Ok I flashed the bootloader, and then I tried to flash the firmware with Odin again but it still won't do it - write fail again. I've never used flashfire - windows 10 won't open it...
UDATE: Ok I read to transfer the file to the download folder on the tablet, and then install on tablet. So I did that, but when I click on the icon it doesn't run. How the heck do I use this to install the firmware update?

Figured out the date bit, ran Flashfire.... problems during the install - got stuck in boot loop - tried a factory reset - that didn't work... stuck in loop. I think I'm bricked....
Left the default settings in place - very little in the way of instructions - read the bit about not trying to write over protected settings...
And got this:

You're not bricked as long as the tablet starts up and you can boot to Download mode.
I've seen that error with corrupt downloads so not sure why you're getting it.
Reboot to download mode. Just hold POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN until the device restarts and boots to download mode.
Doesn't matter if it's boot looping.
Reflash TWRP and restore the backup you made earlier. You will be back to where you started.
At this point I think the best option is to flash a custom lollipop rom.
There is a very good one I use on my t805 which is practically stock with a bit of bloatware removed.
Its in the development section called sweetrom.
At least one positive is that you were able to flash the lollipop bootloader, so upgrade is not impossible.

I'm definitely able to get to download mode - I was surprised that the factory recovery mode didn't work. I'm wondering if the file from sammobile is corrupted - I used the same file with Flashfire - now I think Odin was trying to save me. I'm downloading the same file again fresh, and it looks like Telus and possibly the other Canadian variants are the same - unless it's the same corrupted file.
I just hope the problem isn't because my phone identifies itself as a straight SM-T705. That is why I asked about that point earlier. There are plenty of straight 1705 options available - just don't know which country would be compatible - particularly for the modem.
I didn't understand how to use TWRP and I've had problems with it in the past (recovery) when I did figure out how to use it and was messing with custom ROMS a couple of years ago. I would really like to get myself back in order with a proper stock ROM and root. This tablet belongs in my car and right now I just want it to work properly - I'm using Torque to resolve some ongoing engine issues and it will suck if I have to go back to using the small screen on my Note 3.
If there is any way to figure out which of those countries for the 705 are compatible with Canadian carriers, in case this Bell firmware is defunct, that would be appreciated.
As well, is that bootloader going to cause any problems with stock firmware? I've already flashed it - does stock firmware come with bootloaders included?

OK before I go any further with this I need you to install twrp and make that back up. Twrp is now very stable.
Twrp will back up some very important partitions namely the Efs and modem. Don't take this warning lightly. The amount of people that have soft bricked their device because they didn't do this.
Boot into twrp then simply select the backup option and make sure the partitions on the left are ticked particularly boot,
Efs and modem.
Now as regards which firmware.
I would forget about installing the Canadian firmware.
It looks like this firmware will only install specifically on a Canadian device.
It doesn't really matter which firmware from which region you install as they are pretty much all the same except for the carrier ones which just add more bloat and some csc specific stuff.
Just go for an international rom. You've already flashed a bootloader from one of these roms so that proves you can flash.
Use odin to flash.
If you have connection issues afterwards then all you need do is restore your modem backup with TWRP.
That's why it's important you do this.
Follow these instructions and we will get you up and running.

Whole again!
Whole again!
For the record, I read elsewhere that it is NOT recommended to flash other letter variants of a model. In the meantime I downloaded all four Sammobile Canadian Carrier files and they appear to be the exact same file and all install attempts failed For anyone else with an actual SM-705W I read in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/t705-lollipop-t3099945 a fellow Canadian was having a problem with those same files. Dunno what happened with him in the end, however I tried one more W file I found elsewhere that appeared to be different but it failed as well.
Based on the comments in the above thread, I flashed the Hong Kong variant for the SM-705 from Sammobile - apparently it was the first firmware widely available and users from several countries posted they had used it successfully. So far it seems to be working ok - after flashing it, I did a factory reset on the device as was also recommended in the above thread. Sure hope the battery life will be better than before - love this tablet but I've never seen a device drain so rapidly! CF-Auto Root restored!
As a side note my Ebay seller did reply to my origins query and was helpful once he realized I wasn't complaining about the device and wanting to return it... LOL. Apparently my unit originated in Singapore and arrived with that firmware along with a Verizon SIM which I never tested. As long as the OS is smooth, and the modem compatible, and unless someone advises a better country variant, I guess I'll stick with this one.
Now just need to get Torque reconfigured!

Root new Android 7 stock ROM

Hi everyone!
New Android 7 Developer RUU is out. I remember that there were several problems with the last Android 6 security updates in September and October. So it wasn't possible to root with the latest SuperSU.zip
Instead you had to use an older version and update to the latest version with Play Store later.
Before I flash the Android 7 RUU, I would like to know if anyone already has experience with rooting latest Stock ROM?
Any problems which occurred? And if the root process was successful, which SuperSU Version have you used? Thanks in advance!

No there's no need, at least I didn't change anything and it worked well

I just wanted to add this as a note as I did not see anyone else having these issues in nougat (7.0). Do not install SuperSU 2.78-201609011115. If you do your mobile data option in the notification bar will be grayed out. Your cell signal will have a slash through it and cell signal will no longer work. I do not know if other versions of SuperSU will also cause this symptom.
If this happens to you restore from a backup in recovery or if need be run the RUU again.
Mat08.cc's linked version of SuperSU does work!!!! Thanks!

My m9 doesn't want to upgrade. After it download the Nougat ,it says that I'm running modified system. My phone is att but converted to developer edition. The way I was updating my phone each time so far was with RUU file and I didn't gave any issues until now. Please help . Thanks in advance.

Yes, that is correct. The issue was that my CID was 11111111. Changed it to BS_US001, downloaded, installed successfully. Now I just ran in another issue. Tried to root it so I did: twrp 3.0.2, then installed supersu-v2.78, device booted, cinfirmed rooted but doesn't recognize that there is a sim card inside. Ideas? Thank you!!!

Reporting back:
After installing the SuperSU that you gave, everything works normally. Thank you very much.
There is an update which my phone didn't want to install. It said that the update is for himaulatt and my phone is himaul. Is it because phone is rooted and with twrp recovery? When I install the update manually via RUU from laptop, works fine. It just pisses me off cause I have tk start from scratch with my phone but update is successful. Had this issue for a while now amd was trying to figure it out. I really don't want to keep wiping the phone every single time there is an update. Thank you in advance.

I'd tried 3.12.x and had no luck. :silly:
Was able to flash my S7 from Verizon to unlocked with this.
Flashing with HOME_CSC will wipe your phone, only do this if you want a clean install.
The non-home CSC should leave all the user files untouched.
I've uploaded this because updato was miserably slow,
just don't want others to jump through as many hoops as I did to get it.

Should work just fine

Nice work...
Installed this with all tools in thread. Appears to take the image, updates Android to 32% then shows "Erasing". Reboots, says something about rebooting for Sim Updates, does this for a few mins. Then updates Android apps and boom, new stock phone no provider junk on it. Very nice. If I find any issues after the phone setup, I will post update, but if nothing, appears this is now a Stock unlocked phone.
Phone - SM-930P Sprint
Had most recent April Update
No longer on sprint, it's on GoogleFi now, but was unlocked by provider

Is this rootable or did I just take my Marshmellow S7 and destroy it's rootability??? FML why oh why didn't I ask this before doing it...

I'd say oreo, the newer the better for the sake of actually being able to obtain the apks from the google play store.
I was able to run most games just fine with this rom. :good:

Is this specifically for TMobile users? It's just that i noticed it was TMB-$(version_info).
I guess my question is, does it matter if i use this on a Straight Talk phone, or should i suck it up and spend a day downloading the VMU rom from SAMMOBILE?
More specificity, if it matters. Previously i upgraded from stock Straight Talk rom that came with the phone to VMU, with the SM-G930U firmware. I'm looking to upgrade from Nougat to Oreo now though.
Currently my phone is running VMU-G930UUES4CRG3-20180809155130

probably a dumb noob question, but do i have to request a carrier unlock on a 930A before i do this? it is currently carrier locked.
also, after doing whatever is required, will it get OTA unlocked updates?
EDIT: i went ahead and got my s7 unlocked with the ATT code. on trying to flash i got an SHA256 error. after some google i checked the bootloader is "8". is this why? update checker says i'm up to date with Dec 3 2018 security updates...

I'm sorry but is these Snapdragon S7 variants likely to have a Android 9 Rom in the future?
I know it's idiotic btw hope some responses would be left.

Flashing with HOME_CSC will wipe your phone, only do this if you want a clean install.
The non-home CSC should leave all the user files untouched.

This is the first time I've done this and other guides seems to say the opposite. Can someone confirm which I should use if I don't want to do a clean install?
Thanks

Will WiFi calling still work after installing this on a T-Mobile S7? Thank You.

[Info]
Make sure to flash with Odin3 v3.13.1.
I'd tried 3.12.x and had no luck. :silly:
Was able to flash my S7 from Verizon to unlocked with this.

I've uploaded this because updato was miserably slow,
just don't want others to jump through as many hoops as I did to get it.
Good luck and thanks for stopping by! :fingers-crossed:
