I am pretty new to flashing and rooting android phones. I have a GNex 4.1.1 JB Stock ROM. It was stuck in a boot loop somehow and I wasn't able to fix it by factory reset. Someone told me to unlock and root the phone to install a new stock ROM.
I unlocked using the Wuz toolkit. But rooting wasnt possible because I couldnt push files through ADB. Then I tried doing an ODIN flash using this method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827685). But I got stuck at NAND Write Start.
Now I have a Phone <-> Yellow Triangle with Exclamation <-> Computer. Which I believe is download mode for Samsung.
Then I tried an OMAP Flash using this method (http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/t-1465412.html). I was successful installing the OMAP drivers and running the bat file. However I am still have the phone/yellow/triangle/Computer logo on my screen.
I tried to do an ODIN flash again but still stuck at NAND Write Start.
I already tried to do this:
1.) Repartiion using the PIT file [ODIN]
2.) Then OMAP flash
3.) Then Flash PDA file using ODIN.
I also tried it by swapping steps 1 & 2 but no progress.Can someone tell me the exact sequence of steps or any advice what to do now?
First of all, let me list your mistakes before I help you out:
Mistake #1: You used a toolkit. By doing so, you skipped over the entire learning part of unlocking and flashing your device, so you have no idea what went wrong or what you did.
Mistake #2: You used Odin when you didn't have to. You can mess up your device with Odin, while it is next to impossible to do so using fastboot. We have a Nexus device, i.e. a device with an unlockable bootloader and the ability to use fastboot. In my opinion, Odin should only be used as a last resort.
Mistake #3: You did not read enough before you decided to fix your bootloop. There are a bunch of stickies in the General and Q&A sections. Did you read any of them?
Now, on to fixing your issue.
Go to the Dev section and find the IMM76D Odin file in a thread started by Chainfire.
Follow the instructions in that thread to flash the complete package. Odin should be able to flash your device even though you are on the screen you currently see. Do not use a JB Odin package, use an ICS package.

I read a few articles and i know it wasnt enough. I posted a thread on android central and a senior wrote down some steps and i followed that. But going for odin and omap was totally my experiment.
I links to the imm76d image do not work any more. File not found error. There were no other sources i could find. Do you have another link to the file?

I downloaded the image and tried an odin flash but seems to be stuck at nand write start. I also see that this process does not have a pit to repartition. I had previously tried to re partition it using the pit file given in the jb stock rom odin image. Can i use the same one here?

You shouldn't need the .pit file. That's what probably messed things up in the first place.
If Odin is not working, I guess you can try Omap flash and then Odin. Note that if you try omap flash, and then Odin still doesn't work, I don't think you have any other option besides sending it in for repair.

I tried the OMAP Flash. It executes perfectly in the command window but my phone still shows the "connect phone to PC" picture with yellow excalmation. After that I tried ODIN flash the IMM76D tar file but I am still stuck at NAND Write flash. What I want to know is that what are the reason for getting stuck at NAND write flash and what should have happened to my phone after OMAP Flash was complete?
Furthermore I was also thinking if using a USB jig would help me get back into fastboot.

After OMAP Flash, you should still see the "connect phone to PC" picture with yellow exclamation, but now Odin should have worked. Not sure why it gets stuck on NAND write flash. Maybe try un-checking the F. Reset Time option. Someone about a week ago said that it worked for him.
I keep getting an issue when i got to flash the Hell Fire jellybean rom for my tmobile galaxy s III. the installation begins but then i receive an error message saying
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2tmo" | | getprop("ro.build.prodct") == "d2tmo" E: error in /sdcard/samsung_hfj1.1.zip (status 7) installation aborted.
i have searched the forums for people having the same issue but nothing for the galaxy s III. I do believe this is based on cm10 if that could be causing an issue but im not sure, im new to flashing on samsung devices. any help would be awesome thank you

No I have not, I have flashed other roms with no problem this is the first time ive had an issue
When I got this error, I flashed back to stock then rooted and installed the rom i wanted.
If you're not using a stock rom, the build prop may be from another phone, depending on what rom you're using.

right now im using the frostyjb rom, do you suggest i flash a stock rom then try flashing the hellfire rom like forgot2wipe had mentioned?
That's probably the quickest way to a solution at this point. Or first you could try a different recovery. I'm pretty sure the build.prop in frosty will be fine, so it could be the recovery causing a problem.
Up to you which you try first.

This guide will get your phone back up and running properly.
Doing anything else will just prolong your problems.
This is a easy and sure way to fix your problem - Here is s step by step guide:
After following these instructions you will have the latest official stock-rooted Tmobile T999 Samsung S3 Jellybean v4.1.2 rom
installed then if you like you can flash any of these custom roms found here in this T999 Tmobile threads.
Download the newest pre-rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 Jellybean v4.1.2 rom: T999_UVDMD5
After downloading make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the
file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.
Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file
Here is the link for Odin: http://d-h.st/Q14
• Download ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app)
• Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin
• Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted
• Turn off your phone and boot into DOWNLOAD MODE (Volume Down + Home + Power Hold
until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)
• Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.
• You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)
• Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.
• Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)
• Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.
• TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.
• If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.
• Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!
• Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.
• You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.
• Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!
• (It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)
Good Luck!

Yes, any rom which is intended to be used with the T999 phones only.
I would suggest that you stay away from any of the CM10/AOKP/AOSP and any of the PORTED roms.
Most of those roms are intended for developers and other people who want and like to experiment with their phones.
If you like experimenting with your phone, then by all means go ahead and flash those roms.
So I would suggest to only flash roms which are based on the Tmobile Samsung Touchwiz T999 Jellybean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 firmware(roms).
That way you will not have any of those famous error 7's and or a lot of the other errors and issues which so many people here in xda have had.
Good luck!

Have you gotten back into twrp recovery yet?
If youre stuck in a bootloop which it sounds like...hold volume up home button and power until device turns off and once you see samsung logo let go.
Did you make a back up before you flashed? If so restore it and youll be fine. If not then you need to remember this...always always make a backup. Every thread on here says make a backup before you flash.
And btw I dont hate noobs. We all were at one point and I remember how stressful it can be when you're unsure of what youre doing amd think youve bricked. Pm me if you need help. As long as either you can get into recover via the method I said above or alternative method is plug you phone in your pc, open up cmd prompt in then folder you put all your android root files. (Hold shift and right click in a blank space in the folder, then go to open command propmpt here. Then type in:
adb reboot recovery
That will also get you in recovery.

Hello everybody
First I want to apologize for the possible mistakes i'm french and my english is not perfect.
I have made a huge mistake. I've take a ROM made for the Gnote 1 and flashed it on my GNOTE 2, I even flashed the kernel and the modem.
I've tried to solve the problem with KIES by restore the microsoftware but i have a permanent bootloop.
I hope that my phone is not dead.
If anyone have a solution it will be great.
Thanks by advance.
Are you able to access recovery and use odin?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Yes I can use Odin an Download Mode.But my fear is after the update via Kies i think that debug mode is not enable.
You don't need USB debugging to be enabled while flashing in download mode. Just get the official ROM tar for your specific version of cell and flash it through Odin. Get a complete ROM from reliable source which should also include modem.

Hi everyone.
Samsung call me back to give me some news of my phone. They ask me 200$ to repair it, because they told me that the motherboard was damaged. Is there any solution ? They don't take the warranty because of the root. Is there a way to put the flash counter to zero with the recovery ? I mean flash a file by the recovery.
Thanks
Hello XDA, for those of us that are using the 4.3 bootloader and running an aosp rom, that would like to update to t-mobile's new N900TUVUCNB4 modem WITHOUT updating to new bootloader...follow these instructions. This is what worked for me after a bit of trial and error. My setup prior to this update was- 4.3 bootloader, MI7 firmware, philz recovery, Will's Slim Kat V7, and slimkat gapps 4.4.2.
STEP 1- DO A NANDROID BACK-UP.
STEP 2- DOWNLOAD VISION X3 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559321)
STEP 3- DOWNLOAD CivZ-SnapKat-Rev1.9-sm_n900T-4.4.2 KERNEL (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2613305)
STEP 4- DOWNLOAD TRIANGLE AWAY APK (GOOGLE IT)
STEP 5- COPY ALL 3 ITEMS IN STEPS 2,3,4 TO YOUR EXTERNAL SD CARD. BOOT INTO YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY. DO A FACTORY DATA WIPE, WIPE CACHE & DALVIK CACHE. FLASH VISION ROM, FLASH CIVZ KERNEL, AND REBOOT. BE PATIENT....BOOT TIME TAKES ABOUT 5MINS. AFTER ROM IS BOOTED...INSTALL TRIANGLE AWAY APK USING A FILE EXPLORER AND RUN THE APP. PHONE WILL SHUT DOWN .
STEP 6- NOW FROM YOUR PC, DOWNLOAD ODIN 307 (http://samsung-updates.com/Odin307.zip). UNZIP DOWNLOAD ON YOUR PC AND OPEN ODIN PROGRAM AND CONNECT YOUR PHONE TO PC IN DOWNLOAD MODE.
STEP 7- DOWNLOAD MODEM.BIN THAT I HAVE EXTRACTED FROM OTA. (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fx72lner8mud9kq/nXqmHJsfrz/modem.bin) NOW FLASH USING ODIN MAKING SURE MODEM.BIN IS SELECTED UNDER PHONE FILE BUTTON AND CHECKBOX IS CHECKED. MAKE SURE NOT TO UNPLUG DEVICE AND WAIT TILL ODIN HAS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY.
STEP 8- AFTER PHONE HAS REBOOTED. PULL BATTERY AND BOOT INTO BOOTLOADER MODE AGAIN. CONNECT TO PC AND OPEN ODIN AGAIN. MAKE SURE TO HIT RESET BUTTON IN ODIN SO NOTHING IS SELECTED.
STEP 9- DOWNLOAD YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY OF YOUR CHOOSING...JUST MAKE SURE ITS A .TAR FILE FLASHABLE IN ODIN. FLASH RECOVERY IN ODIN UNDER PDA FILE BUTTON AND CHECKBOX CHECKED.
STEP 10- AND FINALLY, PERFORM A CLEAN WIPE & INSTALL OF THE CUSTOM ROM YOU WERE USING PRIOR TO THIS TUTORIAL.
ENJOY!!
What's the benefits of the new modem?
Updated modems usually offer improved signal receptions and faster data speeds

I need a zip file

Sorry brother for 2 reasons...1- not sure if a zip would work in this case. And 2, more importantly, I don't know how to make a flashable zip yet...lol. ;(

Can you tell me why we can't just skip all of the installing of new ROM's and Triangle Away, and go straight to this step:
STEP 7- DOWNLOAD MODEM.BIN THAT I HAVE EXTRACTED FROM OTA. (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fx72lner8...sfrz/modem.bin) NOW FLASH USING ODIN MAKING SURE MODEM.BIN IS SELECTED UNDER PHONE FILE BUTTON AND CHECKBOX IS CHECKED. MAKE SURE NOT TO UNPLUG DEVICE AND WAIT TILL ODIN HAS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY.
If that is all it takes to install the new modem, then why not just do that step?
Confused....
Is there anyway you could extract the 4.3 boot loader for me? I would like to try to get back on the 4.3 boot loader with this method or give it a try at least. TIA

That is correct. All you need to do is flash the modem.bin in ODIN, nothing else and you will have the NB4 radio. And no, you cannot flash the modem via the recovery kernel (it appears to be locked), you have to be in download mode and I have not tried heimdall, so cannot tell you if that works.
dont bother updating the modem. it doesnt help. i am currently getting my third replacement device due to the lte signal issue. my sisters optimus f6 has a -86dbm lte signal while our notes are always over -100dbm. they said the kitkat update would fix the issue how ever it hasnt. the signal bars will show you as having a full signal but if you take note of the actuall signal strength before and after you will see it infact does not change. you can install the modem itself with out the other steps atleast i did on my secondary device but like i said its pointless. there is a power control feature built into these phones that are robbing us of our beloved lte. ril.modem.lte.powercontrol i tried to set it to false and off but nothing really seams to affect it. i personally believe samsung messed up with the antenna on this device. dont believe do it for yourself and please let me know. maybe i have just gotten two shotty devices in a row. but we shall see.......
Noted, I will do a before and after test when I get home.

so i took the back cover off the phone to expose the internals. so no antenna on the device at all....guess what -106dbm with the antenna i get -104dbm samsung might want to rethink this antenna design cus we pretty much just dont have an antenna.........
Can we revert back to the old modem? I don't know if it's this modem or if it's a rom issue but I can't record video on TW roms. Yup. Just tried Tweaked and XNote. They both can't record video. Recording failed. I hope I can go back to the old modem.
okay 90% battery level is before and other is after the modem update.

that is amazing though that is with att. i have wondered about att's service with these phones. i know with my sisters optimus i can roam on atts network but cant do any sorta roaming with my note. i really hope that its just my phone will know more tomorrow as they are shipping me my third device. im really considering telling tmo to f off and just sim unlocking this device and using a att mvno.......
Can this modem be used on the vzw note 3? i have the dev edition, and was thinking about trying this modem out but i don't want to if there's no point. I figure it won't work, however i'm not certain. Thanks in advance!
Anyone have the MI7 modem handy to grab. Also has anyone tried odin back/forth on MI7/NB4?
