Develop Bugs

PLEASE HELP possibly soft bricked

I accidently wipe my phones internal storage including backups, Im running latest TWRP and it wont read my sd card. I have a custom rom on the sd card but i cant access via recovery. phone boots to recovery and even download mode but i dont think my usb debug is checked and i cant get thru with odin. Im crunched for time as my wife is coming home in an hour and she will be furious if i bricked my phone i need help restoring before she gets home. thanks.
Heres how I fixed the problem, it was easy after doing but confusing getting there. Since the phone would not boot past the galaxy s3 screen there was no way for me to select USB debugging. That option totally did not allow me to use the Galaxy S3 toolkit listed in android development nor could I select and run any of their lists of "Root" roms because something would happen where ODIN didnt boot it correctly. It ran it at first then "Boot" came on then "Reset" came on then "Pass" came on but nothing ever took. I went to samsung-updates.com selected the ICS factory rom and saved it to desktop. Then I unzipped that rom to unveil the TAR file and flash that via Odin and Bam it ran thru no problems. The problems I ran into earlier were links from other posts and it turned out they were either bad links or not for the phone. I actually tried one guys download link that claimed to be specifically for the T999 us version and it turned out to be for another phone all together Im just lucky that flash didnt brick my device even more. Anyways Odin was my friend it was just a matter of downloading the "Correct" rom. thanks to all that helped I appreciated you all taking the time to answer.

I would download this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682. You should be able to use your PC to flash your Nandroid, although i have never done that.

It doesn't matter if USB debugging is checked if the phone is off.

when i boot to recovery it boots to manual mode anyone know what to do next?

You can flash stuff from your computer in download mode through Odin. I hate doing it myself, but will try to look it up for you

when i run in oDin it completes and gives me a pass at the end but the phone never auto reboots even though that option is checked. the phone stays on the galaxy s3 screen and never changes from there.

Boot to Recovery and reset factory defaults. That will fix it. It will still "stick" on that screen, but after a couple minutes, it will continue.

I booted to recovery did a factory reset but it still stayed on the samsung galaxy s3 screen for over fifteen minutes now. I even tried the rom toolbox someone suggested earlier but upon flashing a stock rom it prompts me to check usb debugging and I cant get past that screen.

Stock kernel! That should do the trick! Can't believe I forgot about that. Try that and it will boot up fine.

I was running paranoid android prior to this mess and yes your probably right about the kernel but I have downloaded from samsung-updates.com the ics kernel patch but its in a zip folder so i DL winzip to extract it but that doesnt seem to work either. IS there a stock rom download with a kernel i can download and use with odin?

Found a rom and a kernel in the development section and ran it thru odin and it still didnt take. I noticed that the rom flash thru odin only took about two minutes and not once did i see where the modem cycle was being applied. Still no luck for me. Since my phone does not boot pass the galaxy s3 screen is it possible to get the phone to mount via usb cable and copy the roms to internal storage and install via recovery?

Finally got it working again. Thanks to all that helped.

Custom recovery.

Hi, guys
For some time didn't visit the site. Now bought T-mo S4 M-919.
Last 3 days running sleep deprived LOL. Trying to install either CWM, CWM-touch, TWIRP.... ANYTHING!!!!
Used Odin 3.07, 1.85, operation completes in 2.03 minutes and yellow square on the top of Odin menu says PASS.
Then again, booting into recovery and getting recovery (3e), stock I assume.
D-loaded all drives, Kies, whatever was suggested in several posts. Read and searched for 3 days, eyes are bleeding already... LOL
Installed custom recoveries on multiple devices HD2, Asus Transformer, dreaded Viewsonic G-tab, HTC Sensation 4g...
Never had such a tough time.
What am I doing wrong? Did anyone else had such a problem?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

Are you rooted? You could try installing from Rom Manager app itself.

Thanks.

Thank you for your fast response.
I read somewhere to disable auto-reboot in Odin and turn off the phone by pulling the battery.
So, I tried it and it WORKED!!!!!
Now I'm with CWM and rooted!!!! And Happy!!
Thanks again.

Now I'm happy with my CWM, maybe later will install TWRP, I like more options in TWRP.
The goal right now is to figure out what bloatware is safe to remove without compromising performance and install all my old programs through the Titanium back up.
It means more reading... LOL.

Some custom roms need to update recovery before a flash. How to update recovery without risk ?

Back up all the bloat with titanium.
Make a full nandroid backup of the rom.
Then delete anything you want. If it breaks restore it with titanium. If it really breaks do a full nandroid restore.

[Q] T-Mobile Note 3 N900T Stuck In Boot Loop From CWM

Hello all
I used Max Lee's method at http://galaxynote3root.com/ to root my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and it worked fine. I needed to test deleting some KNOX files so before I did that, I made a restore file within CWM which turned out to be a tad over 3GB. Then I tested deleting the KNOX files and everything seemed to be working alright. I happened to also try out ...Awesome...'s AwesomeBeats v4 Black mod and ran into it stopping unexpectedly.
I decided then it would be best if I just restored the phone to earlier so I rebooted into CWM recovery and chose to restore with the 3GB file I made earlier. It seemed to compile fine but when I chose to reboot, it would get stuck in a reboot loop.
I've tried wiping the dalvik-cache as well as the regular cache to no avail. I was even desperate enough to try wipe data factory reset with the same resulting bootloop. I then went into the advanced restore options and tried to restore boot, system, cache separately all to no resolution.
Any help you all can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, itsjusttim.
For anyone who may have the same issue in the future, I just went to Samsung Update website and downloaded the firmware for my specific model on T-Mobile here: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N900T
They have all of the other firmwares for the Note 3 listed there as well. After that, you unzip the file and flash the resulting tar.md5 file in ODIN.

Did it turn off mid flash when using Odin? It's kinda hard to mess up Odin unless your device has very low battery.
Try Odin again, make sure you know how to use it though.

Just use Odin, using other things can screw it up further...
As long as it is booting, even though it's a loop, it's still salvageable.

Try this video from Max Lee. Even though he's talking about the Note 2, it helped me get out of my Note 3's boot loop. Listen to the things that pertain to your situation only and make sure you follow ALL of those particular steps. When it wasn't working for me initially, it's because I didn't follow exactly what he did. He may seem like he's kind of out of it in this video. but Max has repeatedly helped me get out of my rooting woes. He's definitely on point!
I hope it helps you... if you're stuck in a boot loop. I know you said you can't restore but I'm assuming you tried and you're as a result stuck in an incessant boot loop.

I have two note 3, I rooted one and installed all my apps, mods, etc... then I created a twrp backup... I copied the twrp backup to the other note 3 (inside the twrp folder) and I restored... Voila, a perfect clone.
Do you have more than one twrp backup or you are just trying the same one always? (besides odin and bla bla...) What if someone gives you another twrp backup to try?
Also... Your situation makes me remember myself with the Note 2... I bricked my note 2 and I wasn't able to recover it... I did all I could possibly imagine just like you... (I was crying on the inside) But I ended up saving the phone by flashing a Samsung odin firmware from the International version... Believe it or not, that worked for me.
Just giving ideas, trying to help...

Cant install custom ROMs

I just got the GN3 and naturally, the first thing I did was root it. That took a bit of time because it didn't seem to want to stock. Supersu kept force closing and i would get a pop up saying its been prevented from opening. After a bit i got it though. and used titanium to freeze all the unwanted bloat. but EVERY time i try to install a ROM i get into a boot loop. Ive tried just about every rom that is so far available to us. ive tried removing the battery, wiping cache, and doing system restore. but i just constantly get boot loops. Any thoughts?

[Q] Stuck at white AT&T load screen after trying to restore nandroid backup.

So I rooted my SG3, SGH-I747 last night. Took a bit of looking as I recently updated to 4.3 OTA which made the process more difficult than I remember in the past on this phone, but got it done. I then found a ROM to flash, but flash failed. Before flashing, I did take a nandroid backup using TWRP, but after attempting restore with it, on boot up it gets through the samsung logo and then just sits at the AT&T load screen. I have tried to go in and perform factory reset (wiping cache, dalvik and system), but nothing is working. I then downloaded 4.1.1 stock firmware for this device to flash via ODIN but I get a FAIL, and same result, stuck at AT&T screen. Did I brick my phone?????
Please Help!

Do not flash anything from sammobile because you're on AT&T and they don't have the 4.3 files there. You already updated to 4.3 if you do happen to successfully flash something older through Odin you will have a paperweight for a phone.
Try to do a factory reset. And 4.3 takes a really long time to boot after a factory reset or fresh flash. You will think it is stuck just plug it in to the charger and come back in 10 minutes so you can not be impatient. Let it do its thing. When I Say a long time the last time (yesterday) I flashed a Rom (stock by loserskater) it took 4 minutes and 22 seconds to boot(I timed it had nothing better to do after hard bricking the phone for the third time in a week)

Just so this thread didn't just stop, I wanted to give an update on my situation. Ended up hard tricking my phone and sent it off to get pba replaced. Should be getting it back soon, 70 dollars later.

Just happened
I tried to flash a new mod'd touchwiz launcher and tried to restore from a nandroid backup of dandroid.
After restoring stuck on boot logo.
Tried to wipe and restore again to no avail.
I put the rom back on the sd card and re-flashed and is up and working fine.
You might wanna try this (with your chosen rom).
