For CSC select GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKI3.tar.md5
Went on to root the phone. It went on well but had some issues like the address book vanishing and icons going missing etc. In short was quite unhappy with the end result.

[Q] galaxy note 8 factory restore

Hi guys. Im a noob, first post here and need some help. Be searching all day for how to load a stock rom to my device GT-N5110.
Heres the low down.
Purchased in Australia. No updates applied.
Success rooted with framaroot.Was running framaroot for more than a month
Install busy box today in normal mode I think. I chose the safe option.
Edited build.prop product model so I could install Navigon
Navigon working fine
Now..........
Unable to change the product name back using es explorer or file expert.
Thought it would change after restart but device entered bootloop. I think busybox was the culprit.
Discovered recovery mode and did factory data reset. Can acces odin screen on device too.
Device boots but hangs on language selection screen
I have found and downloaded stock rom for it that I found here somehow
I tried "Mrjraider" tutorial "how to flash back to a stock rom"
but odin crashes whenever I load the rom file and it wont recognize my GN8.0
Computer runs on windows 8. Kies is up to date too. Kies reconizes device but is unable to update or anything
Was running odin in win xp sp3 with administrator
can try on a win7 computer tomorrow.
This is the name of the file its about 1.2 Gb....... N5110UEDMD1_N5110XARDMD1_HOME.tar.md5 do I need to rename this or something
There was also a .dll that was in the package, wtf with that?????
be looking through this forum all day and night and cant quite find what im looking for. If what I seek is here please point me to it. Or if any one here in Brisbane, can fix it for me,What are your thoghts? PM me.
Just want my baby back working again.
Sorry, wrong section please delete mod

If I'm not mistaken, remove Kies, then try using Odin. Also, dll is a Windows file. I could be wrong about Kies, but I think I remember reading that it conflicts with Odin.

Yesterday I installed same firmware in my computer runing win7 with Odin and Kies installed at the same time without problems. You don't need to rename the file, dll is a library for windows and needs to be on the same folder as the md5 file. Just remember to put the Note in download mode in order to get the firmware installed by Odin.

I have a thread in the development forum with the only file you need just flash in odin and done.

Tutorial is ok, problem seems to be elsewhere.
I have Windows 8 (x64) too, and Odin works i my case, i successfully flashed (and restored counter) N5110 before returning tablet to shop (it was exchange for N5100). Kill all Kies components via task manager, i have two more things in processes when i quit Kies. Next, try another version of Odin, but I remember one ROM from SamMobile, which crashed every Odin i had, so its may be this problem. Try another version of ROM - older, if exists. If crashes Odin too or not exists, try uninstall both Kies and Samsung USB driver, dowload toolkit from xda (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251033) and install new driver via toolkit.
In rare cases may be problem in your computer, so try another one without installing Kies. I wish you luck.
Edit - That big file is ROM, dll is not needed for Odin. Run Odin, press PDA, select your rom. Turn tablet off, connect to comupter by original or hi-quality short cable, set tablet into download mode (hold vol- and home, press power on for 2 secs, select continue by pressing vol+). If all is ok, first field in Odin change color to yellow (i think), then press "Start".

Thanks to all. Let you know how I go. Odin 4.43 keeps crashing when loading the rom, on both my win8 laptop and fresh installed win 7 pc. Uninstalled everything from laptop except nero. Nothing installed on pc except modem drivers and Samsung drivers. I will redownload the rom. I think it may have become corrupt. Cheers
ok success. this is what I did. eventually got the rom to sit in odin without crashing it by simply renaming file by deleting the .tar.md5 extention. clicked off the file to save the rename. Right click on it again to rename and type the extension back in. Loaded it in odin and it worked. File name in odin showed up with duplicate file extention eg .tar.md5.tar.md5 but it worked. Odin 4.43 would not detect my device. Senior Moderator Mskip toolkit for Samsung galaxy note 8 would not detect my device .This was very frustrating
Used odin 3.07
loaded rom in pda. Found in janjannsen99 development thread.
connected device ,odin 3.07 detected it, unlike 4.43 for some reason.
clicked start.
Walla. Im a happy man.

This is the kind of story that are the most scary. Now I am kind afraid of root my note 8 or do anything unofficial.
Anyway, best wishes to you.

That's what I use odin 3.07 . Don't use the other versions for some reason they don't work
Secondly guys when you download that file in my thread tO your computer it has to be extracted first you only Click PDA In ODIN and use the file you just extracted with the tar md5 extension. Thats it. That ss.dll file has no purpose its just there and you need not even bother with it.

Could you tell me the filename? I am using the Note 8.0 toolkit.

I have checked that, but I don't see US Note 8.0. The search seems broken to, since United States is not shown in the list of country for Note 8.0

No one knows how to get the stock US based ROM?

people keep posting to go to sammobile but every time i look there isn't a rom labeled for the US, and they dont give an explanation of what rom would be the equivilant or even if any of them would be. Should I use UK version? is it the same as the US?
I'm having the same exact issue as OP and I can get into download mode and i have odin 3.07 but i am just looking for the exact rom to load and cant find an exact answer so far. I've already messed up my tablet enough today so I don't want to flash the wrong rom and make things worse lol.

ps I looked for janjansen's thread in development and did not see it, am I missing something? anyone got a link?

ok I did some more reading around the web and found that a lot of people used the UK version as I kinda suspected. Would have been nice to get confirmation on that but its cool, I flashed it, no problem, and now I'm setting up the chainfire root and getting back all my apps. So all in all it took a few days but I'm back on my feet *sigh of relief*

[Q] Boot Loop/Stock firmware/I seriously need help PLEASE!!!!

Hello all *waves*
This is my very first post although I have used this site countless times. I'm just going to jump right to it because I seriously need some help!
I am trying to fix my SGH-M919 (Tmobile S4) that just suddenly stopped working one day. I have tried EVERYTHING! Kies, custom roms, Odin but my phone still will not load past the Samsung logo. It will boot into recovery (TWRP) and Download mode. I know that using Kies is the quick fix but (LUCKY ME...not) my phone is one of the few phones tmobile/Samsung sent out with no S/N on the sticker under the battery. Since I cant get into my phone I cant get the S/N and I do not have the box anymore.
I have tried using the many sgh-m919 Stock Rom files online, including this site, but nothing is working. When I spend hours downloading them and begin to use them in odin, Odin doesn't load the file for me to flash.
I know I am using Odin correctly because I have done it successfully countless times in the past. I have also tried EVERY download file out there, but I can't find a good one that I can flash in Odin. I have also tried all of the guides on this site several times so please don't redirect me to them, because I have seriously and correctly tried them all. If you have any suggestion please let me know. I can't afford the 161.00 Samsung is requiring or the 175 warranty fee tmobile is charging. PLEASE HELP.
And if some has a good copy of the Stock Rom for SGH-M919 that they would be willing to email me I would FOREVER be greatful!
also my sdcard and battery are not the issue.... tried that too
Thanks,
Nikki

Were there any symptoms or anything you may have done out of the ordinary that might or might not have caused the problem? By saying that odin will not load files, is there an error message or what exactly do you mean by that? And what version odin are you using?

I don't know if its something I have done wrong or not. I followed all of the instructions to the letter. I think (but am not sure) that I don't have a usable copy of the Stock Firmware.
I am using v3.10 but I have tried them all.
When I click on AP in Odin, then click on the file I am sent back to Odin, but the file (and filename) doesn't appear in the AP box like normal.

The stock firmware files take a while for odin to validate md5 check I think. Select your firmware file in Odin's selector, then wait a few mins for bit to process before giving up. This time lag surprised me first time I flashed stock firmware. Big file means longer wait!

The longest I have waited has been an hour, do you think that I should still wait longer?

Try different version of odin. Even if the file was bad, it would say something

Try a different pc.

What is the model of the note 2 as that may help others in finding a solution to the problems that you are facing with your note 2

Same problem happened to me after 2/3 days after mounting the "rom DN4". Now I connect it to my computer and is easily recognized by Odin but I try to install the original firmware, the process is successful but in reality nothing happens. As if it would record more changes !!!! I hope we can help !! I include photos of recovery !!!!

Hello ,
I thing the best should be :
Download the original rom from SamMobile.
Install it with odin PC
Root the rom
After, if you want , install a custom rom.
I hope that can help you.

It's something that I thought I'd do, but as I wrote, even if the writing process through Odin is reported as successful by both Odin that the phone itself with the advancement of the bar, actually it is not !! I tried to install both original rom 4.1 is 4.4, different bootloader and recovery original but nothing to do !! I hope you have other solutions to help us. Thanks in advance !!!

It's your rom a full wipe rom ?
Have you try with an other version of Odin ? .I had a problem with Odin PC 3.09 but it worked with Odin PC 3.07.

No, the rom was not full wipe. Unfortunately however through Ricovery wipe function does not work as per attached photos. Basically it is as if the phone would not see more memories, in fact marks 0 mb available, but this gives me hope that it's a problem of folder and fs / partitions corrupt, because removing the sd 64gb I filled in the computer works fine again! ! But how to solve it ???? I tried different versions of Odin from 3 to 3:09 !!!

Sorry cardone , no offence , please start your own thread , as you are confusing everything here , I started this thread and nobody is replying to my questions here

Ok, I'm sorry, but I thought that having the same problem or answer me or you do not change !! Anyway I open another 3d. Until next time !!

It's possible TWRP doesn't work well if your phone are locked =Can another user confirme that ?

Finally, after you've tried everything and more without solving the problem I took it in for service. They told me that if it's a software problem (that has corrupted the partition) to others happened like that, is not to cost more than € 20 .......
I hope so !!! Then you update !!

Perhaps you can try flashing twrp recovery again to see if it picks up SD card.

Try flashing a split firmware with re partition enabled and a pit file for your particular model .
If same problem persists then it might be emmc ic problem ( a hardware issue and you need to get it replaced ).

Thanks Sachin , could you please let me know what is the difference between split firmware and stock firmware ? where can i find split firmware for this particular model ?
I am not worrying too much about bricking this phone anyways coz i have tried every other option available here and its already semi bricked now. i would really appreciate if i can make it work anyways. I posted this post almost 2 weeks ago so i guess most of other readers are out of ideas too now. so i would like to go for pit file option now. Please help me in this i have never tried this option before.

Split firmware means separate files for ap, cp, csc, bootloader in odin instead of single file in ap. U have to search for it. And also for pit file for your model.
Then flash it using odin with pit file also selected and re partition enabled.
If this do not solve problem. Then its emmc issue. Get it replaced.

Request - Pit file for ATT I467 on Android 4.4.2

Does anyone have an extracted Pit file for an ATT I467 16GB? I got the tablet from someone on Craigslist advertising it as having a bad battery but when I got it home it obviously had some partition issues.
Recovery mode indicates that the tablet was upgraded to the 4.4.2 NI2 firmware. Manually flashing the 4.4.2 update from an external sdcard in stock recovery results in an error, somewhere along the lines of "failed to mount /system".
I can get into Download mode and when trying to downgrade to 4.1.2 with the Samsung stock F1 image, Odin fails when flashing about 80% of the system image.
I realize the request is a long shot and there obviously is not a Samsung stock image of 4.4.2 to flash through Odin. It is also possible that the problem could be with the actual chip but I would like to rule out software issues first.

+1
I would be appreciated if anyone has this PIT file and share it with us. I have the same problem.

GT-N5100 (Note 8 - 3G)
The attached ZIP file has "kona3g.pit" -- PIT file for Note 8 3G. It was given to me by @civato :good: and it worked perfectly when I bricked my phone. :silly: AFAIK, the file structure stays same regardless of the carrier (my tablet isn't bound to any carriers). But, better you confirmed it with someone more knowledgeable.
Hope this will help you two as it helped me.

I tried the kona3g.pit file however Odin hangs at "Get PIT for Mapping". I've tried the repartition on 2 Windows 7 machines and 1 Windows XP machine.
The eMMC is probably damaged on this tablet.
AkiOrpheus, thanks for your contribution though.

Ooo no man you probably did f--- it up! Do you not know your own device or at try to know your device! Sorry came of a lil rude but ya man the pit file from the 5100 and the 5110 wont work for the SGH-I467 or the 5120! They ownly have 12 partitions for the system and the SGH-I467 and 5120 both have 21 partitions! So you need to find some1 that might have the pit file for the 5120! I saw on the Sprint Galaxy S3 forum where they had done found away to get the pit file from the system files thru a terminal emulator by running this command "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/sdcard0/out.pit bs=8 count=481 skip=2176"! I tried it on my S3 and it worked perfectly! I already had the pit but I wanted to see if it worked. So after seeing your post I gave it a try on my SGH-I467 and it looks like it worked! Now I dont have a the real pit file for for it or the 5120 to compare it to but it looks good. Of course im not gonna try it cause my Note 8 is fine (lol knock on wood) but given you already done tried using a completely different pit it couldnt hurt to try it maybe! So I uploaded it in a zip file if you wanna give it a try! I also uploaded the different partition layouts from the konalteatt (SGH-I467), kona3g (GT-N5110), konawifi (GT-N5100), and the konalte (GT-N5120) if any1 else wants to look and see what I mean about the different partition layouts! If any tries the pit let me know if it works or what!

Actually the previous owner messed up the tablet. I couldn't really hurt it any further.
I was able to recently find someone else with an I467 and rooted it. I pulled the PIT file from it but it was on 4.1.2 instead of 4.4.2 so I don't know if Samsung made any changes to the partition layout from Jellybean to Kitkat (unless someone roots their I467 on 4.4.2 and extract their PIT and posts it for comparison). I used Pit Magic to analyze the file from the one AkiOrpheus posted and the Jellybean PIT I extracted and did notice a difference. So I was kind of aware there was a discrepancy.
I tried to flash AkiOrpheus/civato 's PIT anyway but Odin always hung at trying to read the PIT from the tablet so the PIT file never got written to the tablet. I also tried your file, RootSuperSU, with the same results.
I suspected the eMMC was damaged since other users reported successfully downgrading from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2 (with the exception of the bootloader). When I tried, Odin always failed at a specific spot (probably where the eMMC is damaged). So an eMMC swap is probably the only solution.
I do have a rework station to perform the swap but I paid so little for the tablet anyway if I parted it out I would still get more for parts (good screen, speakers, spen, SIM assembly, MicroSD card assembly...) than what I paid for the entire tablet and besides the eMMC chip would cost more than what I paid. I was also able to fully recharge the supposed "bad battery" and it works fine.
The troubleshooting process was fun and I appreciate everyone here that pitched in.

Now my GT-N5100 is on TouchWiz KK 4.4.4, and I can confirm that the partition layout stays same since I bought it with JB 4.1.2.

Probably you are right about eMMC. Once, I messed up my tablet's partition layout with the wrong PIT, but managed to recover once flashed with the correct PIT.
