if i reboot my device it say to connect it to kies to recovery. What can i do ? because i think if i go with kies it will re-install these crappy chinese rom .......

I had the same problem...hehe
The problem with these chinese phones is the modified bootloader, so you can't install other firmwares then chinese with odin.
The solution is: flash the phone with a chinese firmware or go to the samsung shop and let them restore your phone.
When the phone is restored you need first to root the phone via odin and then install mobile odin. With mobile odin you can install a new firmware. The thing is, mobile odin doesn't touch the bootloader so it does also work with our chinese phones.

How did you actually restore the phone?

I just flash the CWM recovery + Root by Chainfire with odin pc and my phome rebbot with the stock chinese rom root so I can install odin mobil and flash my french rom ;p

I got a problems when upgrading to N7100XXALJ3 with Mobile Odin. After install my phone reboot and get stuck on the boot screen for an hour so I reboot in download and re flash the CWM and it reboot with the update but with an issue with the keyboard.
Is there something special to do when flashing with Odin mobile in my case ? I think I should not flash the recovery in the same time but is there something else I miss ?
EDIT : I go into recovery to wipe date/factory reset but my keyboard still not work .... the keyboard pop out but it just a big black rectangle with no key in it ...... gonna try to re flash
EDIT2 : okay after re flashing ;p everything went better than expected

No google account so no pro keys so nothing will ever work
How is that even ever going to work anyway when you can't use mobile Odin pro as there is no Google account to link to the pro key so none of this will ever work! same THING WITH titanium backup ON CHINESE N7100, or anything at all that has pro key - everything bought through play store will never EVER work as there is is NO GOOGLE ACCOUNT ON CHINESE N7100 AND THAT IS WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS A FIX FOR!!???:crying:
How many times do we have to ask how many people this and still get the wrong answers???:crying:

[Q] Need help with N7100 (stuck in screen Firmware upgrade encoutered an issue etc.)

Hi Guys,
I need help with my N7100. I already read a lot about this problem on the internet and tried a lot of different things, but here's the problem.
My phone was every time removing my external sd card, so I thought I'll reinstall it and put a new rom on it. I installed Omega Rom, but had the known Wifi connection problem, so I flashed the wifi fix with Odin, but accidentally used the bootloader instead of pda option in Odin (because I misunderstood the instruction on the Omega first page). Eventually my phone sometimes froze and decided to try another Rom, Dr. Ketans Rom. The same problem existed, so I tried to flash the 'original' bootloader (one I found on this website). The problem was still there, so I tried it again and Odin said failed all the time after that and I couldn't start up my phone anymore, because it goes to the screen: 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.' I can now only go to download mode. After that I wanted to use Odin to flash the stock rom, but it gave an error with the pit file, so I found a pit file on this site and flashed it with Odin and than I could start up my phone again. I still wanted to go back to the stock rom, so I used Odin for this the latest version N7100XXUEMK9_N7100PHNEMK2_N7100XXUEMJ9_HOME.tar. I bought the phone in the NL, so I'm guessing this must be the right version, but it could be an international one (product code). During the flashing process it failed and since than I have the same problem again that I can't boot up my phone. I tried it maybe 50 times now and every time it keeps failing (in download mode). I tried 3 different cables, all usb ports, computers, odin versions. The weird thing is that the flashing of system.img sometimes fails in the beginning and some times when it is almost finished, that's why I thought I might just need 1 lucky strike, but after about 50 times I want to try something else...
<OSM> Please wait..

Thanks for your reply. I spoke to someone today who suggested the same thing, so I will try this tomorrow.

Ok, at least I got philz recovery installed and pushed (adb) the rom file on the internal storage and installed the rom. Ditto Note 3 this time.
Still the same problem exists, it freezes quite often. I was thinking it must have to do with flashing that wifi fix accidentally as a bootloader in Odin. Does anyone have a suggestion how to solve it? It also looks like it's using a lot more RAM than before, maybe because of that or something else? Might be the reason for freezing up all the time?

So I changed back to Android 4.1.2 and the problem seems to be solved :s. Looks like my N7100 can't handle Android 4.3???

(I am using phoenix and dn3)I have faced this error 10-12 times while flashed different mods/roms, I just hold the power button and rebooted. This can be just ignored like this and nothing to worry about.
Regards.

Thanks for your reply, but I think you mean that it freezes during the install if I'm correct? But what I mean is that everything I do with my phone, no matter what, it freezes, even after reboot all the time. I can try now that it is back to normal to put a new rom on it. Do you reckon that Phoenix is better than DN3 since you are using both?

Hi,
Even I am facing this issue since I flashed MJ5 bootloader and NA1 based ROMs. Any idea how dangerous it can be ? Why it occurs ?

Alright so I might have traced down the problem, only time will tell now, just installed DN3 again, but before that I flashed MJ5 again, but this time not as a Bootloader (as what I thought and did before) but as a PDA (like a rom file) in Odin. Maybe you did the same??
Till now DN3 is working, but just installed it so see how it goes.

I flashed it as bootloader.
Now considering going back to MG1. Was very stable and WiFi was working fine with Dr.Ketan fix.

Which means you did the same as me, which was wrong. That must have been the problem than. So just flash the MJ5 file in Odin as a pda/rom file.

So I first went back to Android 4.1.2 and than the freezing stopped, so I thought the freezing up must have something to do with 4.3.
I also first thought it would make sense to use the option bootloader in Odin as the MJ5 file is a bootloader file that you are flashing. I found somewhere on this website that the MJ5 has to be flashed as a PDA/AP in Odin.
So I flashed the MJ5 file again as a PDA/AP file in Odin, than reinstalled DN3 and now everything is working like a charm

I also experimented and came to conclusion (as yet) that this problem is due to NA1 base. Currently using MK9 based ROM and all good.
Tried rebooting, recovery, flashing for many times and all good (as yet). Fingers crossed

Help! N7105 cant wipe cache or install

Hello everyone.

And i figured i would just do a wipe and reinstall.
But now i cant wipe cache just get error formatting /cache!
So i thought i would try just reinstalling a rom, i was using Jedi x2 rom previously so i went to try installing that, and it started to install then goes blank and reboots back to galaxy note II screen.

Bootloader i think was fairly new, i dont know how often they update them (thats if you mean the philz touch thing?)
As for the rom, i got the lastest from SamMobile but they are classed as EE and not Tmobile ones so its possible thats why i have an issue?
Im a bit of a noob with the way Samsung and roms work. Was no problems with my old HTC.

You will have to download the exact firmware for your device N7105 and flash it using odin.

Your phone is on the 4.3 bootloader, do not try to flash older 4.1.x firmwares they are going to fail.
Did you try emergency recovery using KIES ?
You can also try to flash the using ODIN v 1.85.
I see that stock ROMS for N7105 on sammobile are region specific, I am not sure if flashing a ROM of incorrect region with fail but try to download the one for your region.

I dont know anything about KIES to be honest.
Ill look for a download of an older odin and try that.
As for the Roms on sammobile, i have been using the UK ones but the ones for EE since EE took over t mobile / orange. It seems thay are the only ones available

So i just found this thread on Kies
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261153
Is this what i should try? i dont want to try it without knowing its what i should be doing.

Yes.
Remember if your phone can go in to download mode then it can still be recovered, just need to find the right firmware.

Ok well so far i cant get odin to install anything. I either get an error after NAND as mentioned previously, or it gets stuck on set up connection.
Possibly a ROM/Firmware issue? but i have tried 3 different ones from sammobile all for EE UK as i cant find specific tmobile anymore.
As for what my phone can do at the moment.
It can boot into Philz touch but will reboot if you do anything like format cache/system/factory reset etc.
And can also put it into download mode with menu + volume down + power.
So i guess ill try that KIES thing and then see what happens.
If you have any other advice for me i would appreciate it.
And also thank you for your help so far

Since you were using Philz recovery did you take a full back up ? If yes, can you try to restore it ?
If Philz is not responding as it should then try flashing Philz via ODIN.

I had made a back up previously (a few months ago) and tried to install that via philz but it wouldnt even read the file.
Also tried to reflash philz via odin and it fails.
And currenctly im having issues with KIES finding my device. It just doesnt seem to want to connect to it.

So i also just saw this while trying to get a backup to work.
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p13
Error formatting /system!
Im guessing something is pretty corrupt since i cant format cache or system

ok if your trying to install via the KIES software you need to be i download mode not recovery . once your in recovery mode should start seeing your device and start installing drivers or drivers might already be installed and it will ask you for device model number and serial number and will download the current OS and install . i had the same issue as you did and recover my phone via KIES hope this helps

I flashed an EE firmware 4.3 over H3G 4.1.2 using old Odin. Works fine but you lose all internal data
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium HD app

Im thinking it is a storage problem.
Since im having issues with cache,storage,data formatting.
I read on a thread somewhere i could have to install some .PIT?
Is there anyway to do a kind of full wipe with odin or anything? and then be able to reinstall everything such as partitions?
Those could be really noob things to ask, but im not really much of a "pro" with the phone side of things, just thinking along the lines of regular storage systems being corrupt.

The last ODIN log you posted shows that it failed while flashing sboot.bin which is the bootloader. I think that was when you tried to flash the older firmwares.
Here is the PIT file for N7105 but I cannot assure if it work or not as I have a different phone SGH-T889.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137008
I do not think the partition table is messed. I still think flashing the correct firmware via ODIN should get this fixed.
Few other things to try:
You can also flash CF-Autoroot for N7105, it comes with stock recovery and then you can wipe data and perform a factory reset from there.
http://download.chainfire.eu/255/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-t0lte-t0ltexx-gtn7105.zip
You can try flashing TWRP or CWM via ODIN and use then wipe the cache.

[Q] AOSP Rom Problem

but it got me in a bootloop
my problem is that I cant change from an aosp rom to a stock one, I tried flashing 4.4.2 roms but bootloop again,but I think it is because my recovery is old
I want to change to a stock-based rom

every aosp rom I flashed was JB. None gave me mobile internet access (3g), I have the signal bar(triangle) empty but I can call and receive phone calls, but I cant use mobile network... I tried changing chips, and changing the place of the chips, same problem.

1. Backup your EFS..
2. Flash stock ROM from sammobiles using ODIN.
3. Root it. Flash latest recovery and take Nandroid backup of your stock ROM.
4. Now try flashing different ROMs according to your taste.

I hope u have followed the instructions of flashing stock ROM. Remove the battery and insert after 10-15 seconds. Now enter recovery mode & do factory reset. Now ur phone should bootup. Current eMMC version is a common message while entering stock recovery.

..Have I to try to flash a Stock ROM on it?
or nay suggest ?
thank you !!
EDIT
forgot to mention
I have access only to Download Mode NO recovery Mode

Awwww... poor you! You found yourself in a level 3 bootloader... that means that you cannot flash unofficial binaries such as; twrp and other recoveries or so.
Try following this https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...w-to/guide-root-install-twrp-samsung-t3747535
And everything is going to be alright!!!
But first things first flash the latest firmware of your phone and then follow the steps from the link! I did it myself and it's really awesome...

Thanks for your reply
that's what i done :
reinstalled Stock recovery by Odin
then installed latest Nougat Stock ROM by Odin
All OK !
I was in mistake forcing to install a MM Rom ( stock ) but wasn't right on what version had to install ( due to some missing information regarding Phone )
So now I'm ok ..obviously lost Root access ..but have OTA updates OK
Thank You again
..for the root again I'll have a look later

You just have to wait upto 6 days for the rmm thing to reset so you can flash again stuff. If you don't want to find yourself in a bootloop or have to wait again a week flash the thing in twrp on the post I send after 6 days (then you will have the ability go flash twrp again) notice you mustn'tlet your phone die or don't restart your phone by yourself. (Better see post for further information)

.
OK !
..to be honest I'm playing wit Nougat just to see differences from MM
Not sure to reinstall a Custom ROM till I'll found a very stable one
what I'll have to do surely will be Root access ..but not at the moment

Sorry to tell you but... once you updated the bootloader you can't go back to MM... you can still flash the MM files expect the bl one in Odin but the performance will be awful

..
I dont want to go back to MM
I prefer to keep Nougat with root access in the future
Device seems OK now and restored all Apps as it was before plus some new from Nougat default
