Hi, I started out with a stock tmobile s3 and tried to root it for the first time today, I followed this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mndQZqom3Ac
which asked me to use this cf-root 6.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
when I hit start on that .tar file under odin, it failed stating "complete (write)operation failed)
since then, my device would boot with error "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" nothing else would happen.
I tried to go into recovery mode again and this time when I tried to retry the odin tar install, it would give me a new fail of cannot open com3
When I tried to use kies, it would just forever try to connect and never connect. so I couldnt do anything there.
What can I do? I would preferably try to retain all my saved data.
I also suspect my usb port might be faulty, sometimes need to press it in firmly to make the usb mass storage to work properly.
Thanks in advance
What is your Current android version ?

i really didnt note which version i have... noob mistake i kmow. i think it is 4.2...is there any way i can check?
Ok, I totally messed up when I first attempted this. The .tar I used was for an international s3 and I have a tmobile us version!. the OP of the thread says it may even brick my phone if I attempt this on a non international version.
competely my fault, but what should I do to fix this and save my phone?
I cannot connect to kies, reinstalled the drivers and it still wont connect. just gets stuck in "connecting"
The odin now doesnt load a tar because it says "cannot open com3 "
EDIT:
fixed it, odin was not working due to kies running in the background and I finally was able to flash the correct chainfire for my phone
Glad its sorted out. I assume no issues now ?
Ok, this is my first post so forgive if this is in the wrong section...
I have a friend's Galaxy Note 2 ATT that was stuck on the Galaxy Note 2 Boot screen, and it wouldn't go any further.
Because I work for Samsung at the Samsung Experience Shop, I tried running it through our smart reflash tool
-----> This didn't work because it would fully download it onto the phone, but when it got to the Android with the thing spinning in its chest, it would stop and ALWAYS freeze halfway.
Next step I tried doing was going through Samsung Kies and downloading the stock OS and load that, but the same Android with the spinning thing in its chest would show up and it would freeze.
Due to this guy being my friend I told him I would try anything to get his phone to work again (root, to custom recovery, to custom rom)
My steps so far:
1. I have successfully rooted my device via ODIN 1.85 by using CF-Auto-Root
2. Afterwards, I loaded on a custom recovery via ODIN 1.85 which now is philz_touch_6.07.9
Here is my problem now, I've tried searching everywhere and I can't really find the answer...
Whenever I try to side load a rom through ADB through Android tools (its in the right directory and everything because it transfers over), I keep getting an error message "E: Error in /tmp/update.zip (status 7) Installation Aborted."
Now before I get that error I get stuff like getprop("ro.product.device")==t0lte" ||getprop("ro.build.product").... etc. and it goes on and on.
So far the ROMs that I have tried were Cyanogenmod 10.1 and the Pacman Rom, and yes, both are for the correct device like the model name/number match up. And now how I said I thought I rooted the device, whenever I try to reboot into recovery via Philztouch, it says at the top Root Access is missing. Root device, and I click yes. When it reboots into recovery and I want to turn the phone off again, it still says Root Access is missing.
I am open for anything really. My friend just wants his phone to work again. and I've literally exhausted all of my ideas as I keep running into the same issue.
What am I doing wrong? and is something like this possible to fix? Or is my friend SOL?
Thanks for all the help. It's much appreciated.
Your recovery is outdated. Status 7 error.
I use TWRP from the original development section.

Good advice ^^^^ for your friend.
Ok, thanks for the direct response. I've downloaded the latest TWRP recovery and when I try to push it through ODIN, I still have PhilZ Touch 6..? Sorry, I feel like I'm skipping something simple...
according to a guide, I have to make sure when I'm pushing a custom recovery through ODIN I have to leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time UNCHECKED. I made sure they were, and for some reason after it says PASS and thread successful 1 failed 0. When I disconnect the phone and turn it back on into recovery mode, I still has PhilZ Touch...
Use your recovery to flash TWRP. There's a zip version and an odin version.
Ok, I got stock recovery on there just by redoing the CF-Auto Root package through ODIN.
I figured well I can apply the ROM the adb through the stock recovery...
It was going well until I got this error. The last line before the error stated:
"Veryfying update package..."
Error:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
is that due to the fact that i'm using stock recovery?
In the mean time since that didn't work I'm going to flash TWRP and hopefully that fixes the issue.
I'm kinda just documenting my steps here in case anyone wants to follow and chime in if i'm doing something wrong.
Thanks for the help guys!
************3AM EDIT*****************
Ok so I managed to get TWRP 2.7 on the device as I needed the ability to adb sideload the update.zip to the phone since I can't boot into the phone's OS whatsoever.
This is the error I'm receiving now:
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping Md5 check: no MD5 file found.
then it restarts and I'm stuck at the Samsung GALAXY Note II screen... what's my next step..? Find a different ROM?
**********Another Edit**************
It has just come to me, I shouldn't have to adb sideload the update.zip or the custom rom... even though I can't get into the phones OS and can't copy and paste to the root of the device. Can't I just copy and paste it to a micro SD card and mount that, and then apply the update from there? And as far as those errors I had earlier, I'm still not sure why I received them...
Again, thanks for all the help
Adb won't work if USB debugging wasn't enabled.
In TWRP you can disable md5 checking.
And you don't unzip the zip file.
Thanks for the reply. ADB didn't work because, in fact, since I haven't been able to turn the phone on, I know USB debugging isn't turned on.
And as far as having the MD5 check, it is unchecked.
I received a success message. However, when I try to boot the phone it still gets stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen.
******Edit******
Ok ended up using a different ROM, I think PacMan rom? It seemed to work until it got to extracting system files and then the phone sits for a couple minutes, screen turns black. And when I try to wake the screen, only the back and menu buttons come up...
Another thing, even though I've already rooted my device using CF-Auto-Root, When I reboot my device with TWRP I go to reboot and then recovery. Then it warns me saying no OS bla bla bla, and then it says it notices that my phone isn't rooted? And that SuperSU isn't on the device. It asks to install it by swiping. I swipe it starts to install, phone reboots. When I reboot it again, it still tells me that the phone isn't rooted. And with the phone not being rooted, I'm coming to the conclusion why I'm having trouble trying to flash Roms.. Is this a possibility?
Why are you using ADB? just drop the .zip for the ROM you wish to flash onto a micro SD card, and flash from within the TWRP. Don't try to extract the .zip whatsoever.
Hi,
I tried to install CM11 on my Galaxy Gio, but I ran into several problems.
First I managed to flash CM11 from an old clockwork mod version.
However the system did not boot up correctly, so I tried to use a newer
recovery version. That failed as well and now I am stuck without a working recovery.
The device won't get past the Samsung logo upon normal boot. When I enter
the download mode, the screen looks different than any screenshot I have found
so far. Most people say you get a warning, that download mode is dangerous, etc.
but my device just says "Downloading..." in a yellow font. Windows won't discover
it at all, even with installed Samsung drivers and on Linux I was able to detect it
using Heimdall, but flashing it failed with the error "Failed to initialize protocol".
Does anyone have any idea what I could try to do next? I'm getting pretty desperate
right now...
Thanks in advance
Chris
If it says just "Downloading..." when you enter in download mode, it's perfectly OK!!!
Steps to bring your phone back to life:
1) Enter Download Mode
2) Connect Phone to PC through USB Cable (though it's the only way, now)
3) Download a Stock ROM
4) Open ODIN, wait it to detect your phone, select the stock rom's archive, select the OPS required
5) Flash it and wait
I can provide you any files you need and even TeamViewer support, just tell me!
P.S.: I have revived my phone about 10 times so far because I've tested almost every ROM for our Gio!
3) Download a Stock ROM

My Problem so far is that ODIN won't recognize my phone. I think it is a problem with Windows 8, it says the driver doesn't exist. I tried installing the Samsung driver package but even then, the phone is just recognized as "Unknown Device". The Samsung package contains about 20 folders, so I didn't know which driver to force install.

That would be really nice, if I can't fix it myself. Can you tell me in which timezone you live, so I can plan accordingly?

Well, i can provide teamviewer support too as i have done it on windows 8 myself, My Timezone is GMT + 5.00
I have been able to repair the device by myself. I used an old Windows XP machine and did exactly what I did on my Windows 8 machine. Worked like a charm... At this point I have to assume that Odin does not play well on 64 bit machines...

keep in mind that you have to "wipe data/factory reset" from stock recovery first time after flashing stock ROM with odin otherwise it will not boot up!

Uninstall the drivers again, then Try using USBDeview and delete all the devices related to android and samsung... this will remove the possibility of any device driver not being reinstalled properly by windows...
USBDeview 32-bit
USBDeview 64-bit
After this restart the pc and try installing drivers and connect the phone to see if it works...
U can try reinstalling samsung kies.

What's the issue with your current rom? If it's working fine don't play with it, if it's not then maybe we can fix the issue.
im using windows 8.1. working & able to flash 4.4.2 with Odin 3.0.9
try install PdaNet & KIES 3
I tried all things you wrote but without any success. At least I did a new installstion of windows 8.1 but also without success. I think if its ossible for me to come into recovery mode I can Flash cwm Version of rom from my sd Card. It seems the onlyest Way to Repair my smarty.
Any tricks to get recovery mode.

Well, what's actually wrong with it, other than Win 8.1.1 not seeing it? You haven't told anyone what problems you're having other than that. It could be just something simple that someone here can help you with; that doesn't mean you have to reflash it...
Bricked - yes or no? - briefing my problem
Briefing my problem for better understanding my problem:
1. i wanted to do clean installation of sammobile rom 4.4.2 by preparing my n7100 before flashing new costum rom by deleting previous rom via a script.
2. after doing this my smartphone isn't recognized by windows 8.1 Update 1 - 64 bit
3. I tried also windows 8.1, 8 and 7 without any success.
4. i'm not be able to flash new custom rom via odin
5. on sd-card i had a cwm of rom and a backup of previous rom version, too
6. i tried to get into recovery mode by pushing sound+, on-switch and home by pushing at the same time
7. i got always immediately into download mode or in bootloop since boot sound starts (it's difficult to reconstruct the exactly way, but i had the problem not to go into recovery mode mot time before. therefore i do it always by "rom manager" appfrom chainfire).
8. i'm not be able to flash new custom rom via recovery mode
9. then i tried all tricks by searching the prroblem by google but all methods didn' work
10.. i'm be able to load my smartphone and the led lights, too.
this is why i think about my n7100 is bricked.
please, please help me!
thanks a lot
So you're bootlooping?
Your best bet is to try to access it from an older version of Windows. Probably you have a bad driver somewhere and it's causing conflicts. I have similar issues from W8, but it's fine on older OS's.
If an older version of Windows can access the device, then you should be able to reflash it. I suggest trying to drop Dr Ketan a PM, he's very knowledgeable and helpful.
see item 3, please.
im on windows 8.1
just download the lastest Samsung Kies (Samsung Kies 3) and install it.

Hi! I hope some one knows how to restore apk on a Galaxy S9 plus
I was trying to get rid of Bixby and erase some apks using adb app control, I have a backup of the apks in the computer, the problem right now it's that the phone has many photos and most of them are important , I would like to know if there is a way to avoid wipe data/ factory reset, via adb or Odin.
I'm stuck on loop after the operator logo.
It doesn't boot in safe mode.
I already have android 10 ROM but I'm afraid that if I flash it with Odin , it will wipe the user data, if there is way to Just update, or restore this files please let me know.
Thank you very much for you help.

Hi! I have tried several times, and I get failure to start, the phone is detected but the flash doesn't initiate, sometimes I get this screen, sometimes it says fail .
I have installed Samsung USB drivers, from the
Samsung Android USB Driver | Samsung Developers
You need the driver only if you are developing on Windows and want to connect a Samsung Android device to your development environment over USB.
developer.samsung.com
And Odin from here
Patched Odin 3.13.1
For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...
forum.xda-developers.com
I used the original Samsung USB cable and tried the 3 USB ports in the laptop
What else can be happening?

did you try booting into the download mode twice?
Once and then again and then start the odin.
I had to do that.
I had to flash the official firmware myself because my phone keeps crashing on the homescreen.
Didnt solve it but I did flash it properly.

go to the recovery.
connect to the PC.
open odin.
click on "reboot to bootloader"
It should go to to download mode.
what does your download mode screen say?
When I was doing this process I tried reflashing the latest rom but that didn't solve my boot loop issue.
So I flashed an older version of the rom.
Make sure the version you download is compatible with your phone.
You have G9650ZHU9FUG2 so only roms with 9 will work.
I flashed that old version and it didn't work, phone still stuck.
Then I flashed the latest one again and then my phone worked.
I used odin from the link you posted.
Odin3 v3.13.1
actually what i would suggest is downloading/re-downloading samsung usb drivers. otherwise most phones won't respond to odin even in download mode without it

Hi! Today I have successfully flashed the exact firmware that the phone had ( there is no newer) using a different laptop (it's true if the problem persist with Odin, use another laptop)
I got success message, at the very first time, and when the phone reboot, nothing , stuck as it was before, so I erased cache partition and no luck, still stuck on reboot, I have also tried repair apps , and reboot sistem now, what else should I do?
Thank you very much!
Hi! I want the community to know that using the APK adb app for Samsung it's a bad idea, after successfuly flashing the firmware and performing a factory reset several times the phone remain stucked, I downloaded about 10 different firmwares and flash them all times without an error, and the phone was bricked and stuck in boot. So I took it to the official service and nothing, still the same, then I found an external service that flash the device with a little box that they said they paid in advance for credits for using that box, it took them one full week to revive the phone, also they had to flash it several times. In conclusion, if you buy Samsung, stick with the garbage apps the throw, if you mess with the system in some way as the official technician said, the phone will be nearly unrecoverable for privacy benefits for the user. Thank you very much for the help to the community!
