This happened to me twice, same computer with Windows 7 64 bit. Both the phones were SGS with JG4 by default and both didn't have 3 button combo working, whenever I try to flash Odin gets stuck at "Set Partition" and I take the cable out it gets stuck at "Phone - ! - PC" screen.
I am sure I am selecting the files correctly(PIT was 512, CODE in PDA, CSC in CSC, MODEM in PHONE), this is in attempt to install JPC on the phones. I also select "Re-partition" apart from the 2 other checkboxes.
You cannot select any flash files while you tick re-partition.
The phone needs to do a power cycle after it has been re-partitioned.
Did you get to download mode by using ADB?
Odin cannot screw up your flash, only you can.
So what should have I done? I got into downloads mode via ADB.
Actually you do not need to repartition unless you previously used 513.pit.
Start Odin.
Plug in the phone.
Type in CMD "adb reboot download"
Select flash files.
Download.
Any other way the flashing process will hang.
Do just as described.
Aren't you supposed to use pit 803 when flashing to JPC? Wouldn't recommend flashing JPC anyways.
803 is for P1000, thou it works with I9000 too.

Yeah I know that, but isn't the problem here that he's using the 512 pit with JPC which doesn't work?

can you explain that? i always thought you can tick the repartition option during normal flash. i have never read that you have to repartition in a "separate cycle" and i did i several times (possible it got stuck then, i'm not sure anymore)! not that i want to question your knowledge, i am just wondering ...

obviously it does!
So even if I get my 3rd replacement phone without 3 button downloads mode, I can flash a firmware in it?

How will the phone boot after you tick re-partition + insert just a .pit file and then flash? I mean, what kind of boot it should do?
Should it boot to android so I can use adb to get into the download mode or does re-partition result the phone--!--PC screen in the first power cycle? My phone has the "3-button disabled" thing so I'd rather not brick my phone.
I know you said it should still be able to boot into the download when that p--!--PC screen is shown even if it doesn't boot into the download mode under "normal" conditions.

i guess the repartitioning does not affect the bootloaders just the /system /data/ /dbdata /cache etc. partitions. also you can always just untick the reboot option and directly flash afterwards without a reboot...

Richthofen precisely says that the phone should be shut down and battery should be removed after flashing with just .pit file. So you shouldn't directly flash it afterwards.
Hello, I can not post on the developer forums yet, so I will post what I can here.
I was able to get root access to my Samsung ATT Note 8 (SGH-i467). See attached image.

I will try to put together a complete how to when I can. For now I will link to the image files I created.
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR DEVICE NOT WORKING.
Here we go.
1. Download the i467 firmware from http://www.sammobile.com
1a. Extract the main zip file you downloaded. Leave the .tar.md5 files intact. They are the files you select with Odin in steps six (6) and nine (9).
2. Download Odin 3.07 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1738841
2a. Extract and launch Odin.
3. Download the pre-rooted I467UCAMF1 images from SAMSUNG-SGH-I467I467UCAMF1-ROOT.tar
3a. Do not extract or modify this file.
4. Do a factory reset of the device either in system settings or using recovery (volume up). Yes, I have found you must do this.
5. Boot into download mode. (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Step 6 is only required if you accepted the OTA "CAMF2".
6. Use Odin to flash all four files downloaded in step 1. BOOTLOADER, CODE, MODEM and CSC files.
6a. Let the device finish install and boot.
6b. Boot into download mode. (Home + Volume Down + Power)
This is the fun part.
7. Select PDA in Odin and select the file downloaded in step 3. Make sure all other files are not checked. Flash... Odin will say it failed. Yes, don't worry, recovery is still there.
8. Reboot into download mode (Home + Volume Down + Power)
9. Using Odin only flash the BOOTLOADER, MODEM, and CSC from step 1. Do not flash the CODE file or the modified image. In other words, leave PDA unchecked in Odin.
10. Let the device install and reboot.
You should now be able to run SuperSU.
If you want to update to OTA CAMF2 then follow these steps BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE;
Thanks to DanMc85 and others for testing. Also, usernamenotfound wrote instructions in the next post, thank you.
1. Start SuperSU and in the settings enable Survival mode.
2. Connect to a Wifi network. (Thanks aTt)
3. Go to system Settings and select About Device at the bottom of the list.
4. Select Software update on the right.
5. Go through the update process and the device will reboot. You should be at version CAMF2.
[EDIT]
Bootloader = BOOTLOADER...tar.md5
PDA = CODE...tar.md5 - Don't select this in step nine (9). Leave blank.
PHONE = MODEM...tar.md5
CSC = CSC...tar.md5
Thank you ZeroxCorbin, this method works flawlessly!
Thanks to DanMc85, crazymikey, & Danno5150 for the following:
If you are looking to update to MF2 after you root, make sure that you enable Survival Mode within SuperSU Pro and then perform the update BEFORE you remove any bloatware or make any changes to the file system, as changes in the system will cause the update to fail.
Remember to do a backup of any apks before removal as this will allow you to put them back in place in preparation for future updates. (MF3?)
Hope this helps mitigate some of the questions.
Thanks again guys!

Thank you very much
Everything went well and I was able to root after 2 months. Took a while, but thank yery much. I've missed Titanium Backup so much.
Instructions were very clear and concise. Was able to root in about 15 minutes with reboots and pushes. Worked perfectly following the instructions to upgrade to MF2
Skip
Thank you this worked perfectly; note I can use the device the way I want to.
Thanks I was worried I was gonna have to take this back! But it worked on secound tty and using Titanium Backup Pro I can fully integrate Root apps and updates into the stock system rom with no trouble! How do you install a TWRP Recovery for this model?

What will happen if my fone is an unlocked ATT
I am a little worried because I have it unlocked for international 3g sim. If I root it, will i have to unlock again?
Sorry about my dumb question

We can't flash any custom recoveries until the bootloader is unlocked
At least we have root.

I think that he's talking about SIM unlock maybe? If that's the case, I'm assuming that the way that this root was setup, you will probably need to re-unlock the SIM, but I'm not 100% sure.
So glad we finally have root! Won't do this until a bootloader is figured out though. But this is the first step! I wish I knew more on how to crack bootloaders to help out :/
So I know, does this method work with the OTA Update that AT&T put out in August?

Step six is just for you.
Only issue I had was forgot how picky Odin is about cables. Used a monoprice one and it Odin wouldn't see it. Used the stock cable and all was good.
Tablet is rooted and am in the process of debloating it.
Thanks very much for this. We all appreciate it.
Happy Note 8
Thanks thanks thanks. It worked like a charm!!! :good: I did have to find a shorter cable - wonder why my 10ft cable didn't work :laugh:

I have not used Odin, how do you "flash" these files? It looks like you have to do them one at a time. I am just unclear how to flash the files.
Also, It looks like you are doing them twice if you have the CAMF2 update, which I do, is that the case?

I downloaded the factory firmware from sammobile (took over 2 hours)
but I think the csc file is corrupt. odin gives an error when I try to select it, and windows shows that the last modified date for the file is year 3247
I downloaded the zip again from sammobile and it's still the same.
Could anyone upload the csc file somewhere like dropbox??
Thanks
EDIT: When I tried to select the csc file I was getting the error "parameter is incorrect". Googling the error shows people saying to remove the ".md5" extension and retry.
When I did, it accepted it (although I didn't flash it yet). But I just wanted to make sure that I am not bypassing the checksum and flashing a corrupt file. Is that what you guys had to do as well, assuming it is still the same factory firmware on sammobile?
Thanks
Can i use that to repair my bricked Note ?
As a general FYI, if you think you need to repartition your phone it is also possible that your phone has experienced:
a) A hardware issue, possibly partial or total emmc failure.
b) A mismatch between bootloader (sboot.bin) and trustzone (tz.img) versions. See this post or my MK6 stock thread for some possible options to fix this.
As a step of last resort to recreate the partition table on your phone, a pit file may be what you need. This can be done in either Odin or Heimdall.
Warning - repartitioning your phone may erase all data and might cause other unintended consequences. You assume all risk.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To use a pit file in Odin, this is typically done as part of a flashing a stock rom package, like the LJ2 or MA4 package for the i317 (or similar package for the i317m). You specify the pit file in the PIT section, make sure the repartition box is checked, and then add the rom package in the PDA section like usual.
If you are running an official 4.3 or later bootloader you will not be able to successfully flash a stock firmware package that contains earlier bootloaders - Odin will hang and you will need to find a different stock package to flash that does not contain a bootloader. (i.e. If you took the the i317 4.3 OTA and are running the MK6 bootloader or a later bootloader, you'll want to avoid UCAMA4)
The attached zip includes pit files for both the i317 and the i317m. The partition mapping is the same for both (see the included analysis files), but the pit files have unique security signatures which are accepted only by the bootloader of the specific model phone for which they are intended. I've tested the file for the i317 and can confirm that it works as intended. The file for the i317m was pulled the same way by an XDA member (thanks @plemen !) with an i317m and I've confirmed it is formatted correctly. It has now been confirmed as working.
If you want to learn a bit more about pit files, check out this thread by Adam Outler:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540480
Very interested in this, as I need the pit file for my I317. Question about the bootloader, though.... I've never taken an OTA, just flashing CM and OmniROM nightlies (was on 4.4.2 when my phone committed suicide). Should I be safe to use this pit file? And what factory firmware would you recommend to go with it?
pit files should be back in a day or two (I'll be testing over the weekend).
Depending on what happened to your phone it's still highly probable that your pit (partition) data is fine. There's a way to confirm this using Heimdall - when time permits I'll add instructions to post #2. That's a safer first step than attempting a repartition.
As for bootloader and firmware - if you've never taken an OTA, and you're not on a 4.3 bootloader your best bet for stock firmware is UCAMA4. It's a more complete and somewhat newer package than the other option (UCALJ2). You can get this from sammobile, or a mirror copy I have linked in post #2 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
that post also has information on a couple apps you can load that will allow you to check which bootloader you have loaded once your phone is operational.
Thanks for doing this! Did you have any luck over the weekend? Looking to re-partition as I'm unable to mount.

I expected a test phone on Saturday that didn't arrive until Tuesday thanks to the USPS getting the day off on Monday. Once I confirm the files work as intended I will repost them.
As for the issue you are having - what partition isn't mounting? Can you provide more detail?

The Note 2 (ATT) suddenly rebooted and stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" screen. A couple reboots and a battery pull did not solve the issue. I even let the phone stay on the screen in the event it needed to do some sort of repair.. but after an hour, nothing changed.
I loaded CWM recovery and got recovery mount errors. Also, I am unable to mount any of the internal file system when attempting from the advanced menu. After a couple of hours of following tutorials I went into download mode and installed the stock ATT rom. It was successful but still did not boot (attempted this twice). I came upon a few suggestions for similar issues that said the PIT file was needed to repartition. I used Beanstalk 4.4.2 before the crash.

The symptoms you describe are similar to those I've seen on the Q&A forum recently. I don't want to be the bearer of bad tidings, but I suspect you have a partial emmc (hardware) failure.
My time during the week is limited so I expect to have testing done this weekend.

Please don't forget to Thank
The files provided are only for phone I317 and not I317M
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490003986
Instructions:
1. Download "back to stock" zip folder I uploaded. It contains all the files needed. No need to search around.
2. Unzip the file and extract the folder to your desktop.
3. Open folder and install Samsung drivers if not already done so.
4. Now make sure you have root and custom recovery on the phone. Turn the phone off. Hold volume up, home and power button at the same time.Wait till u see custom recovery screen and then let go off all the buttons.
5. Once in recovery... delete data, system, cache, dev cache like you want to flash a new rom. Turn the phone off by pulling the battery or see option for power off device under custom recovery.
6. Once the phone is completely off lets get into download mode. Hold volume down, home and power button until you see the screen with an option to press volume up to get into download. Press volume up to enter download mode when asked.
7. Now open odin3.07 I provided in the folder u downloaded. Once open connect your phone via usb. Windows should install device drivers. Once thats done, you should see com## on the Odin software.
8. On odin software you should see button called PDA. Click on it and browse to the file called KIES_HOME_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_215287_REV04_user _low_ship.tar. in the folder provided by me. select it and hit ok. Odin will process the file. It will take max 2 to 3 min.
9. Before you click start on Odin make sure auto reboot and F. reset time is checked only. Everything else unchecked. Click start button. Odin will start flashing the factory firmware. It will take time.
10. Once Odin is done flashing. phone will reboot. Now you can disconnect the usb cable. When phone is fully rebooted, skip all the prompt and get to home screen.
11. Turn the phone off again and get into download mode. Connect usb cable to computer with Odin open. Click Pda and select file called CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.tar. Let Odin process it and then click start. Once flashing the root file is done. Phone should reboot to home screen. Now you have root. The reason we need root is to get rid of counter # in download more. It should say zero.
12. Connect your phone to computer while on the home screen. Open phone internal storage and go to download folder and copy Triangle away.apk into it.

I had similar issue, and was able to resolve it by following this thread. YOu need to restore factory original by following this thread from XDA.
Please don't forget to Thank
The files provided are only for phone I317 and not I317M
Instructions:
1. Download "back to stock" zip folder I uploaded. It contains all the files needed. No need to search around.
2. Unzip the file and extract the folder to your desktop.
3. Open folder and install Samsung drivers if not already done so.
4. Now make sure you have root and custom recovery on the phone. Turn the phone off. Hold volume up, home and power button at the same time.Wait till u see custom recovery screen and then let go off all the buttons.
5. Once in recovery... delete data, system, cache, dev cache like you want to flash a new rom. Turn the phone off by pulling the battery or see option for power off device under custom recovery.
6. Once the phone is completely off lets get into download mode. Hold volume down, home and power button until you see the screen with an option to press volume up to get into download. Press volume up to enter download mode when asked.
7. Now open odin3.07 I provided in the folder u downloaded. Once open connect your phone via usb. Windows should install device drivers. Once thats done, you should see com## on the Odin software.
8. On odin software you should see button called PDA. Click on it and browse to the file called KIES_HOME_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_215287_REV04_user _low_ship.tar. in the folder provided by me. select it and hit ok. Odin will process the file. It will take max 2 to 3 min.
9. Before you click start on Odin make sure auto reboot and F. reset time is checked only. Everything else unchecked. Click start button. Odin will start flashing the factory firmware. It will take time.
10. Once Odin is done flashing. phone will reboot. Now you can disconnect the usb cable. When phone is fully rebooted, skip all the prompt and get to home screen.
11. Turn the phone off again and get into download mode. Connect usb cable to computer with Odin open. Click Pda and select file called CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.tar. Let Odin process it and then click start. Once flashing the root file is done. Phone should reboot to home screen. Now you have root. The reason we need root is to get rid of counter # in download more. It should say zero.
12. Connect your phone to computer while on the home screen. Open phone internal storage and go to download folder and copy Triangle away.apk into it.
13. Go into settings and security and check unknown sources.
14. Go to apps and open application "my file". Go to download folder and select triangle away application to install. install it. Open application application and scroll down and select reset counter option. Make sure your are connected to wifi. Confirm you phone is I317 and triangle away will download the file. Your phone should reboot into some type of reset counter recovery screen. follow the instruction on the screen to reset the counter. After that phone should reboot.
15. Once rebooted uninstall triangle away apk. Now open super user application and scrool down and click fully unroot. When done go into stock recovery and clear data and cache. reboot phone. All done. Your counter is set to zero. Your phone should read normal under settings.

Pit files are back up and attached to the OP. The i317 pit file is tested and confirmed working.
The i317m file is identical, except for the security signature. I'm currently looking for someone with a healthy i317m willing to test flash the i317m pit file to confirm it works. (I would do this myself, but I don't have an i317m).
Unfortunately it did not work for me. emmc failure suspected. Strange thing is that in ODIN I can still "Successfully" install a ROM.. and even the PIT file succeeded. I still got a logo screen for several minutes.
Fortunately for me, I have an additional mainboard from a otherwise damaged note 2. I'll be swapping that out.
Thank you anyway. Hope your file helps others!
My phone was not booting and stopped at Samsung logo. After the pit file and stock rom, my phone is live again. I am still having issue with storage but at least I have good starting point.
thanks
Works fine on i317m

Alright, so i have a Galaxy s3 (sgh-i747) and i rooted it with philz bootloader
So i was going to install a custom rom, so i had to wipe.
I downloaded the rom, and wiped.
But then i realized i actually never put the ****ing rom on the phone and now my phone has no rom loaded.
I can still boot into download/recovery
I really need help with this, what are my option?
So my phone is not rooted any more i guess because the recovery/bootloader is the default one
I still really need help with this

Do you remember what (stock) firmware or Android version you were on before the attempted installation? Your best option now would be a return to stock. If you were on anything earlier than 4.3 (e.g. 4.1.2 or 4.1.1) you could try using Odin to flash 4.1.1 since you can get into download mode. To do this take the following steps ..
1. Download the required files via the following link <http://fortedge.com/downgrade.html>and extract the Odin flashable file
2. Install Odin
3. Boot into download mode and flash via Odin
OR you could find the correct stock image via the following discussion thread and flash via Odin. This would be a complete stock file that will flash all partitions including bootloader, modem, kernel and system.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
If you were on Android 4.3, then you cannot use the above method or flash via Odin and any attempt to do this will create more bother for you. In this case, you would need to flash custom recovery via Odin and restore the stock recovery image via custom recovery. Please download the stock recovery file via the following the thread ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2658486
If you need any further detailed steps on how to complete this, please do not hesitate to holler.

Download Odin.
http://fortedge.com/downloads/Odin307.zip
Download the Odin flashable custom recovery file via the following link ...
<http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/d2att>. You need one of the more recent images ending in *.tar e.g. the one below
<http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-d2att.tar>
Install Samsung Kies on your PC if you don't have this already (this will be useful for the drivers)
Install the twrp tar file to an easily remembered location on your PC
Extract the Odin zip to get the executable file (*.exe)
Click on the exe file to run Odin
Now boot your phone into download mode by powering off completely then holding down the Power + Home + Volume Down buttons simultaneously until you see a warning message.
Press the Volume Up button to continue
Connect your phone to the computer with a good quality micro-USB cable
If everything has been done OK, Odin should immediately recognize your phone and you should see a message saying "Added" in Odin. If you don't see this, then you may need to check the drivers are properly installed.
Click on the PDA tab in Odin and navigate to the twrp tar file you earlier downloaded. Select this file and click OK.
You should have the Auto-Reboot and F-Reset Time boxes checked in Odin. Please do not check or uncheck any other boxes!
Click on the Start button at the bottom to start flashing TWRP and wait until you see PASS and a green (or blue) box fully displayed. Your phone will automatically reboot after this although it may not be able to boot since you don't have an OS installed. You may disconnect the cable and close Odin after you see the PASS message. If you see FAIL, then disconnect, remove the phone battery and try again.
If you successfully flash TWRP, then you may proceed to reinstalling your ROM.
1. Download the zip file in the thread below <<http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486>>
2. Save to a recognizable location on your phone's SD card. If you can't install files to your phone via your PC, then you may save to a micro SDHC card using another micro-SDHC compatible device (camera, another phone, card reader/writer etc).
3. Boot into recovery mode
4. Select Install from the TWRP menu and navigate to the zip file you download. Swipe the arrow key to confirm installation and wait for installation to be complete
5. When installation is complete, clear your cache and dalvik and reboot system and you are good to go.
Hope this works for you. If it does, please remember to hit the thanks button and let me know.

Here is Odin 1.85
Or you could try putting a room on an SD card. That's why I always check to see if a room is there before flashing

Hey Guys Im Back! Thank you for the support and how it blew up. I have tested this on Android 10 UI 2.0 and it works better then ever!
Also installed lineage os : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a10/development/rom-lineage-os-a10-a105f-t4078093
So i tried using afaneh92's tutorial which will be linked here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a10/how-to/magisk-root-galaxy-a10-series-t3963822
Which lead to me bootlooping or softbricking and my storage was reduced from 32 gb to 16Gb so i decided to work on my own method!
Credits go to afaneh92 for the Twrp!
BEFORE YOU START YOU SHOULD HAVE
1.Samsung Drivers installed
2.Odin Installed
3.7zip Installed
4.A data transfer cable
5.A Proper working brain
If you have all of those lets start!
A: Phone settings
1.Go in settings>about phone>software information>build number tap that 5 times until it says "You are a developer now" then you will have Developer options unlocked
2.Then go in developer functions and find OEM unlocking tick that on scroll down until you see Usb Debugging and tick that also Disable Auto Updates option
B: Download TWRP and 2 other important files
1.Dial *#1234# and it will show the AP and some others, focus on AP paste it on google and get the download for it
2.After downloaded move the AP to your download folder in your android device
3.You will get a magisk_patched.tar after its been offically converted
4.Get the twrp for a10
Download the twrp file here : https://mega.nz/#!OU1WhSDZ!vQz5K1wpqBhg0hCD59aziaHPxFlUsT_2WG8SgT8p6iY
5.After you got everything open the .tar archive and extract vbmeta.img, boot.img and you should already have recovery.img on your Desktop
6.Grab all the 3 .img files and archive them into a .tar using 7zip, Now continue to step C,
C :Unlocking The Bootloader and Getting Into Download Mode (THE PART WHERE YOU RESET YOUR PHONE)
1.Turn Off your phone
1.2.Put your data cable into your PC(dont connect your phone to it yet)
1.3.Hold Volume Up and Down then insert the cable into your phone
1.4.When you see a bluescreen let go
1.5.Hold vol up until you see another screen then let go for 1 second and hold vol up again
2.Your device will reset itself and reboot
2.1.After the device has booted in into the setup take the cable out after Turn off your phone
2.2.Hold Vol Up and Down again and connect the cable
2.3.Let go when a blue screen appears then press vol up until you are in download mode
D: Flashing TWRP
1.Open Odin
2.Press on AP then find Desktop.tar and press open
3.Press start and let it do its thing
4.After your Phone has rebooted you oficially have TWRP installed
5.If you want to know hoe to root go to step E
E: Installing Magisk
Since magisk is counted as the best rooting option rn i will be using it in this tutorial(Sorry supersu fans)
1.Install Magisk Manager
2.Press on Install (first one) then press install again and after that press Install Zip Only
3.Then go into Twrp by doing the steps below
3.1.Turn off your device
3.2.Hold vol up and power button untill you see TWRP logo
4.Press install
4.1.Find magisk-v20.4(20400).zip
4.2Swipe right on the bottom to flash it then press reboot system now.
5.Now you have TWRP,Root and Magisk Congratulations!
What happens if something goes wrong.
1.SV Error Device 1 library 0 - You installed the wrong firmware look for the right firmware.To check go in recovery mode and look at the A105XXXXXX and then look for a download. Remider AP->AP BL->BL CP->CP HOME_CSC->CSC
2.vbmeta.img error - you have the wrong vbmeta.img file. Redownload the original firmware and take out the right vbmeta.img next time you try flashing. Reminder AP->AP BL->BL CP->CP HOME_CSC->CSC
3.A blue screen telling you to use samsung switch emergency update. That wont work so just flash the original firmware and try flashing twrp again.
4.When i try to boot in it gets me into TWRP - Thats just because that your data is corrupted and to fix it while in TWRP mode press wipe then swipe after its done press Reboot To System. That should be a fix
5.My internal storage is just full of weird numbers and I can't download anything on it! Go in TWRP then wipe,press advanced wipe, click on internal storage and data, swipe. That should fix the error
6.Boootlooping or Bricked! Installed corrupted firmware or the recovery was f-ed up. Then install the right firmware and redo the steps!
If you have issues during the process send it in the comment ill try to respond as fast as i can!
i notice thread title says exynos only.. u do know they are all exynos including a102u and a102u1 right?
Oh. Alright thanks for telling me.
Press on app? I have nothing in odin saying that, do you mean ap?
Edit: guess not....i'm bricked, stuck on galaxy logo, device not recognized by pc, holoding power button wont force reboot, nothing lol.
Edit2: can force reboot holding volume down and power but instantly stuck on logo again, cannot power off or enter download, nothing...bricked. Followed this guide to the letter. I assumed when you said app in odin you meant ap since there is no app button. My bootloader unlocked then I went to flash in odin the tar i made with patched boot and vbmeta, along with recovery linked. I used matching firmware to what my A10 has also. Would not mind if i could get back into download mode, but that looks impossible now.
Edit3: Managed to get download mode but had to be so quick...hopefully I can reflash stock now.

Im sorry for that and yes i meant AP.
If you wanted to reboot you had to hold vol up vol down and power at the same time and you sure that you unlocked the bootloader and used the right firmware?
Also tell me the AP and from which source have you downloaded it :laugh:

5.Now you have TWRP,Root and Magisk Congratulations!
What happens if something goes wrong.
1.SV Error Device 1 library 0 - You installed the wrong firmware look for the right firmware.To check go in recovery mode and look at the A105XXXXXX and then look for a download. Remider AP->AP BL->BL CP->CP HOME_CSC->CSC
2.vbmeta.img error - you have the wrong vbmeta.img file. Redownload the original firmware and take out the right vbmeta.img next time you try flashing. Reminder AP->AP BL->BL CP->CP HOME_CSC->CSC
3.A blue screen telling you to use samsung switch emergency update. That wont work so just flash the original firmware and try flashing twrp again.
4.When i try to boot in it gets me into TWRP - Thats just because that your data is corrupted and to fix it while in TWRP mode press wipe then swipe after its done press Reboot To System. That should be a fix
5.My internal storage is just full of weird numbers and I can't download anything on it! Go in TWRP then wipe,press advanced wipe, click on internal storage and data, swipe. That should fix the error
6.Boootlooping or Bricked! Installed corrupted firmware or the recovery was f-ed up. Then install the right firmware and redo the steps!
If you have issues during the process send it in the comment ill try to respond as fast as i can!

Be cause you modified the firmware ignore that message
have you fixed the storage reduced to 16gb problem?
I have a Samsung galaxy sm-a10. I've tried everything here, even combination files. The error I ALWAYS get is 'failed flashing ROM... OEM lock'
Of course I have unlocked OEM in developer options, but still I get this error in the bootloader.
Any ideas?
