(T999, 4.1.2 Stock, 2 Binary counts now)
I've searched around and haven't had much luck with some help with my problem. Maybe someone would be nice enough to guide me to the right place?
Basically I had a root gone bad, and I get the:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
Honestly I have not tried the kies route yet, had a bad experience in the past.
I either can't get the button timing right, or it just will Not allow me to boot into recovery mode.
I can get into download mode without Any trouble.
I've referred to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687
Got the stock rom, but wont flash; keeps getting errors. I assumed I would just need that MD5. Would I need another file since I'm trying to hard reset and flash?
I would have given the "Galaxy S3 Toolkit" a try, but it won't eve get past the debugging part, and I can't change that at this time.
I would greatly appreciate all help.
Are you using Odin to flash the firmware? Does it recognize that the device is connected?
What is the output in Odin when it fails?
To boot recovery turn device off.
Hold home, volume up and power.
When you see blue text flash at top of screen, release power only. Continue holding HOME and volume up in till you see recovery start.

Thanks for your quick reply.
Yes, I am using Odin. And it does recognize it.
Odin does this:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> T999UVDMD5_T999TMBDMD5_T999UVDMD5_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

Since I closed it off and reopened it, now it gives me neither a pass or fail, but prior to trying to flash I would constantly say fail.
I havent seen any other color but red at the top on my screen, and that says "ODIN MODE" along with the error as stated in my first post when I try to get into recovery.
I've actually held the 3 buttons for up to 40 sec to no avail. The blue words never showed up. It would pop up with the "ODIN MODE" and the error, then the screen would go back to black and would never give any other indications until I let go of the power. Even then it went back to the error.
Maybe jtag can help or bad usb port.

jag may have done the job...
But nah, all of my USBs are in good shape. It was strictly phone trouble..
I went ahead and tried out samsung kies. To my surprise, It allowed me to fix it up. It did a major hard reset and reloaded the current rom.
Lost everything, but no longer bricked.

Is your phone soft bricked or hard bricked? does it get power?
mine was soft bricked; i could still power it on, i just was Very limited on what I could do.
Is your kies updated?

First I thought it is soft bricked but reading on forums about the same symptoms I understood that the motherboard is finished so I need to change it.
I have tried many attempts with flashing with Odin but nothing. It enters download mode but not recovery.
Odin sees my phone but not kies. I do not think is an update problem.
But I bricked my phone with my wife's laptop and I have tried to restore it back on my own PC. Nothing worked but I read on forums that maybe the PC have a problem reading the phone through the USB port.
I thought is not my case as Odin recognized my phone BUT trying to flash again with Odin from my wife's laptop BINGO! It flashed it on the first attempt and boot normally in to my kit.kat Resurrection Remix Rom!

Happen to me as well. All you need to do in flash a custom recovery through Odin, in download mode, like TWRP or clocksWord mod. Once thats done install any rom you want through the recovery, put the rom you want in an external storage like a sd card.
hi did you solve this problem?

I have a very similar problem. I would truly appreciate some guidance here!
Some details of the mobile versions since these differ from the OP.
I use a Samsung GT i9300 International Version, rooted and had flashed Nameless Rom based on Android 5.0.
Flashed TWRP or Philz Touchwiz CWM recovery (I dont really remember now)
The phone worked fine until recently when the battery started behaving bad!
(Small story short : On a vacation, my 1.8 Amp charger broke, and my phone crashed saying "Do a factory reset since the encryption during a restart failed". Forcefully, had to factory reset and my battery has been draining like mad ever since) When on wifi, the rate of draining was faster than the rate of charge on a 1A charger)
I was previously on a Slimkat Rom then.
I decided to flash Nameless Rom to see if the behavior changed.
The Rom was smooth but the charging issue persisted. I decided to buy a 2.1 A charger but one fine morning after an overnight charge, the phone didn't boot up. I assumed that the charge wasn't enough and I let it charge a bit longer. After several attempts, it booted up all of a sudden.
I believe this was a significant warning/indication of something possibly wrong with the ROM but I didnt bother to change it just yet.
Then came the surprise a couple of mornings later. The phone went into a boot loop displaying the WHITE Samsung logo with GT-I9300.
Tried booting into recovery, but it just doesnt load into recovery with Volume Up combination.
However, download mode comes up with Volume Down combination. So I was happy in a way that it wasnt hard bricked just yet!
Read somewhere asking me to flash recovery alone from which i could wipe cache and dalvik and try rebooting - So I downloaded TWRP latest version and flashed, but Odin failed to flash - Got a FAIL message and similar to quoted post after failed attempts.
Tried flashing Philz CWM, but failed again. Also tried flashing the Stock recovery too, but it just didnt pass!
Doesnt flash the recovery in whatever way I tried.
Now, I did read that flashing the stock firmware of GT - I9300 Intl version is the option I have left (approx 900 MB).
Will this flash the stock rom and reset the root?
Is there something that I have missed out on? Or I need to try something else before I try flashing stock firmware?
I need some pointers now guys, help me out!

Eeep i missed something
Hello all! Let me start by saying that i have researched a ton and there is a lot of great information on here. The info I've read however doesn't seem to work for me.
My situation is I spilled a little bit of water on my phone (really not much), but it got inside my phone a little, which was already rooted using auto root. My power button thinks its constantly being pushed (i think). It doesn't bootloop, but as soon as i pop the battery in it turns on, and my phone was unresponsive to me clicking the power button. The rest of the phone was fully functional and i checked with Tmobile and it is still under warrenty (didn't mention the water). They told me to backup the phone which i was able to do in kies with no problem. Then they said do a factory reset, which again I did with no problem. It didn't solve my issue which i kinda knew it wouldn't, so the next step for me was to unroot my phone so i can return it. I popped it in odin, selected the original firmware and it started , then it disconnected by itself. Now the firmware upgrade screen pops up, but i am still able to get it into download mode (for me since the power button is suspect) i just have to hold the home and volume down, pop in the battery and it goes to download mode. The problem is that every time i try to hit start in Odin it gets to the part about the PIT partition and disconnects and says there is no PIT partition. Everywhere i've read says to either use a PIT partition (can't find one for the M919) or that the partition is in the m5 file, which as far as i can tell it is not (at least not it's own file). I've tried downloading the stock firmware from a multitude of different places even Sammobile with no luck and I've also tried different computers, different cables, and all the USB ports available to me.
Can anyone please tell me where to go from here please? I need to get this replaced asap!
Are you asking for a .pit file to repartition? If so, I've attached one for a 16GB SGH-M919 ONLY, dumped from my own SGH-M919 through Heimdall. Download the .zip, unzip it somewhere. In Odin, check repartition, and click PIT and select this file. Hopefully this fixes your problem, but use this at your own risk.

One person is all I needed. Offered bestbuy and attached employees $100 for these and they refused every time. Just when I gave up hope they were for sale on the 7th of this month. Got no problems with experimenting now.

Dude. youre a life saver ( or note 8 saver). This worked PERFECTLY and i now have a working Note 8 again. This should honestly be a sticky topic. There are a lot of bricked note 8s out there.
Awesome. Been throwing everything I can find that might let twrp be used. No regrets and no more walks of shame through best buy and explaining how aspect ratios were modified.
Awesome!!! My note 8 is back to life after almost a year, I was going to trash it.. Glad I waited, thanks again!

i cant download it for the life of me. Help.....?
Two quick questions. Any instructions or links on how to install? I don't want to brick my device. Right now I'm running 4.1.2 rooted. Also, does AT&T data work on this? Thx.
Downloaded with 2 different android devices and win10. Nor sure what to tell ya there.
Odin is the program needed. Google will explain better than I can right now.
And this is stock at&t software. No reason it shouldn't work unless tablet is blacklisted.
Thanks for this. Downloaded.
My device is rooted , how do I flash this to my device?
you are my hero dude...thanks a lot works perfect finally unbrick my note
I see 4 files. what do I do with each one? My Note 8 is stuck on the logo but I can get into download mode to update the firmware, I guess. Once I download all 4 files, what do I do then? Thanks!
Thank you so much djjiz! My tablet has been bricked and kept in the closet for years. Able to use it again thanks to you.
And thank you for keeping those four files available after all this time. As you can see from my post, it's 12/2018. I'm sure there are others who can make use of them.
For those who need help on using the files:
Some things you need:
1) Your Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet needs to be able to get into the Download Mode for this to work. On boot up, you hold down the Volume Down + Power +Home buttons on your Note 8 tablet. This will bring you to a screen that'll warn you against flashing custom OS (has yellow triangle with exclamation point at the bottom). From here, if you press the Volume Up button, you'll get into the Download Mode/Odin Mode. If you press the Volume Down button, it'll reboot your tablet. If you're able to get to this screen, you're likely able to get into the Download Mode/Odin Mode. Just press Volume Down to reboot your tablet for now.
2) You need the Odin tool to use these files. I downloaded version 3.13.1 from ( https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528067949 ). If this file isn't available by the time you read this, I'm sure you can get a hold of the latest version of Odin by searching Google for "latest Odin flash tool".
3) Your device needs to be charged. My Note 8 tablet wouldn't even tell me how much charge it had when I plugged it in. I just kept it charging for 2 hours and assumed that it had enough charge to last the flashing process. The whole flashing process (for me) took around 5-10 minutes.
4) You need the four files djjiz posted, which are all in .rar extension. Use WinZip or some other rar extraction program to get the .tar file. You should end up with four .tar files.
5) Your PC/laptop needs to be able to detect your Note 8 tablet when they're connected. You can do this by installing the Windows drivers. Go to Samsung's Official website ( https://www.samsung.com/us/business/support/owners/product/galaxy-note-8-0-at-t/ ) and scroll to the bottom to the Downloads section and click on the "Device(Install)USB Driver" link. If the link is broken by the time you read this, just Google "Samsung i467 Windows driver" and I'm sure you'll be able to find the installation file.
If all of the requirements above are met, here are the steps...
1) Connect your Note 8 tablet to your PC/laptop
2) Open the Odin application
3) Get your Note 8 tablet into the Download/Odin mode. Your tablet should now say "Downloading, Do Not Turn Off Target!!". In Odin, the ID:COM section should have a lit up tab w/ 0:[COM3 ] (or some other COM#) and the log section should say "Added!!". The COM# just denotes the # for the USB port you plugged the tablet into and is irrelevant.
4) In Odin, click on the BL button and search for the .tar file djjiz posted that begins with BL and click "open". Do the same for the AP, CP, and CSC buttons and their corresponding .tar files. For some of these files, it'll take awhile for Odin to respond, especially AP since it's 1.7GB in size.
5) Once you have all four files loaded, click "Start". Note, in the Options tab, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time were selected (has a check next to them) by default. Options for Nand Erase, Re-Partition, and Flash Lock were left unchecked by default. I left all of these default settings alone.
6) At this point, there is nothing left to do but wait for the process to be complete. You should see a blue progress bar filling up underneath the Android on your Note 8 tablet. In Odin, you should see a green bar near the ID:COM section filling up. Once everything is complete, your Note 8 tablet should reboot on its own. In ODIN, you should see "PASS" in green at the top left. Just exit out of Odin, disconnect your Note 8 tablet from PC/laptop, and after all of this time, be able to use it again.
thank you for not taking this down. i just loaded this my att tablet.
Hello, just picked up a used tab s t705w bell in good shape. Ive tried to flash the original 5.02 as well as autroot and another original image as well. All of them fail. Im using the latest version of Odin. The connection says its ok as per com port than when it gets to boot.img it stops and fails. Ive tried 2 USB cables as well as all my USB ports to no avail. Please help as to what I'm doing wrong, thanks.
Heres a pic
Update: tried with laptop still same thing, is there anybody that can offer a suggestion? I even unplugged the battery and plugged back in. I also tried several older versions of Odin.
Well since nobody knows what to do my research indicates possibly nand chip has failed meaning hardware issue. Gonna look at returning it.

Hi,
Did you end up fixing the issue? I think I have the same issue as yours on a SM T800. It came with 4.4.2 so when I tried to update to Marshmellow it failed and it restarted fine, and it told me to update via my pc using Kies or smarth switch. So I did so and guess what happened Smart Switch failed as well but now it bricked the tablet. So when Smart switch tries to install the recovery, same thing. So I now have a brick! So I am trying to find out if there was a solution or not. If not I will just have to wear it.
Thanks.

You're saying you can't get it back into the Odin download mode?
Hold HOME+ VOLUME UP+VOLUME DOWN+POWER. (Keep holding)
When the Samsung splash screen comes up, let go of the VOLUME UP button.
When the Odin warning screen comes up, let go of all buttons and click VOLUME UP.
Even when I was sure mine was soft-bricked, I was able to get it into Odin download.

In my limited experience with Odin, I find it to be a very stable, robust, and reliable application. Having said that, and not knowing what version you're using, the usual suggestions are:
Try another (older) version of Odin.
Try another USB cable.
Always use a USB 2 port.
Try a different firmware package making *certain* it's for your model tab. (<- This is what's most suspect - IMHO.)
As long as you can still invoke the Odin downloader on your tab, there's still hope.
Good morning, Sir
News update, detailed search carried out, found the latest specific Samsung Firmware, (XEH-T805XXU1CPL1-20170111202424 with MM.)
The procedure with Odin has been successfully completed. (end of good news) At the end of the operation the tablet remains with the logo samsung bright intermittently . performed hard reset but remains stuck on the initial logo samsung always bright intermittently.
Suggestions?

Yup. Been there. Done exactly that. I fixed it by subscribing to SamMobile, then paying for and downloading the OEM firmware. That's probably the best news, You can always get back to a box-stock condition. If you have the patience, you can download the firmware for free.
EDIT: Once I got back to stock, I looked for and found:
DAMMIT! I keep forgetting we have two different tabs. Obviously Klimtwifi is wrong for you.
lineage-14.1-20200321-UNOFFICIAL-klimtwifi, installed it with Odin3_v3.11.2 (Not sure it matters.)
Then rooted it using Odin: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/android-basics-root-with-cf-auto-root-0167401/
And, once rooted, installed the Official TWRP app from Google Play. I always use the next older version of TWRP (twrp-3.3.0-0-klimtwifi) because TWRP doesn't like me much.
Then, rebooted into recovery and flashed GApps (open_gapps-arm-9.0-nano-20200417)
FWIW - This is from feeble memory, and I still have all the files - both those that worked and those that didn't - all in the same folder. So if something doesn't work for you, I've got what worked for me.
All said, getting LineageOS on this thing was far, far simpler that trying to get it back to stock.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 LTE is no longer maintained.
I just thought I’d switch to android 4.4 ....
The problem comes from the loss of boot files?

I'm not sure what caused the problem in the first place. I was just very relieved to see it boot when i got the stock ROM back on it.
Did you restore yours back to stock? It's good practice.

Good morning,
The tablet is Hungarian (made search via samsung and s n), I install unique files (extension .md5).
installed the version K.K. 4 , the only novelty the presence during the first restart of the colored logo, performed manual restart and hard reset /wipe ,
At the end it remains with the Samsung logo bright intermittently (Samsung logo power etc.etc.). Found the multifile firwarware.
Odin does not recognize extension . enc4 and (oddly ) I find nothing to extract Files...

Did you find your model number on the SamMobile website? That's really where you need to start. Once you have the correct OEM firmware, using Odin to install it is a no-brainer. You need to get back to stock before you can move on to custom.
What is your complete model number?
Send me a private message. I think I may be confused and am causing you extra confusion.

Good morning,
Downloaded and installed the latest version SM-T805_t805xxu1cpl1_marshmallow(Android 6.0.1)_Xeh_factory Rom (4 File)_20170111.zip.enc4. (decrypted with an earlier version of samfirm (3.9 ).
the installation procedure of the 4 files, AP, BL, CP, CSC, does not involve problems.
Unfortunately at the end of the procedure the Tablet does not restart automatically, and after its hard wipe reset remains locked on the initial logo samsung always bright intermittently.
During the tests I noticed that holding down the power button tries to start. The second samsung logo stands out completely but does not pass the stage.
The feeling he can’t make it.

Performed yet another installation test with Odin this time with Android 5 (XEH-T805XXU1BOJ1-20151111094815) similar result, you have precedents.
But with a novelty
.At the end of the installation, the tablet remains off, as in the pretending tests, I try to start it normally but nothing, in addition to the ever-present Logo (Samsung Galaxy tab S) flashing intermittently.
I press the power button for several seconds with the result of making the second samsung logo appear (colored) with an Android loading start, release the button, the device turns off.
By re-activating the flashing logo (Samsung Galaxy tab S) normally.
Holding down the power button starts
Android update - optimization of the accompanying application (192 tot), a few minutes later always with the power pressed, the process ends and the installation of applications begins, after a few seconds, the first APP starts., the tablet turns off.
By turning it on again and the intermittent luminous logo (Samsung Galaxy tab S) reappears.
Repeating the procedure (power button pressed continuously) you get colored samsung logo and the writing (alkalmazàsok telepitèese) installation of applications and turns off.
I perform a wipe data / factory reset obtaining:
--wiping data—
Formatting / data ...
Formatting / cache ...
Formatting / sbfs ....
E: unknow volume for path [/ sbfs]
E: unknow volume "/ sbfs"
Complete data wipes.
I run reboot system now.
The tablet turns on with the intermittently lit Logo (Samsung Galaxy tab S).
By repeating the whole procedure previously described, no changes are obtained.

Neither Google nor I understand that phrase. Do you?
Irrespective of that, I'm at my wit's end. And, assuming you're following the published directions, you may be looking at a hardware failure.
Just to confirm, before all this started for you, this was a working tablet?

good morning,
the tablet was working, during a game session started to reboot, always and only with the logo (Samsung Galaxy tab S) bright intermittently, performed hard reset, I did not fix anything. The only news, these days, after Odin, is the complete installation of android 5 with the power key pressed all the time.releasing the tablet key turns off . At the next power on I get the logo (Samsung Galaxy tab S) bright intermittently.
thank you for your patience and professionalism

This is the screen you see *before* you invoke Odin and connect the tab to your PC?

Some how I got my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 to lock up. I can get it to a screen with a message on the top saying "recovery is not seandroid enforcing"
On that screen I can not seem to do anything, the other screen I can get to is the ODIN download screen. I am not overly familular with the Samsung=, yet, how do I get this to reboot back into something working. Even if I have to wipe the entire memory that is OK.

How you get it to reboot back into something working depends mostly on what you did to get into the condition it's in. Since I don't know what that was, I can't help you there. But:
The good news it that as long as you can get it into Odin Download mode, you can fix it. But you have to have the right OEM ROM. It's a very simple process, but you have to follow the steps precisely. First, get the correct OEM ROM from SamMobil. If you're in a hurry, you'll want to sign up for an account (less that $10). Otherwise, you'll have to wait until the free servers have undergone their maintenance and come back online. This would also be a good time to familiarize your self with the Odin Process. You might want to start here: https://odindownloader.com/download/odin3-v3-11-2
I think i got here by running a 'reboot to recovery' widget that i was trying to remove.
my tablet now has:
ODIN MODE (in red)
PRODUCT MODE: SM-T700 (white)
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
Secure Download: Enabled (dark blue)
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x0500)
AP SWREV: A1
then the green android with 'Downloading..... Do not turn off target!!'
Running ODIN 3.13 on Windows 10, plug in tablet nothing shows up in log, or in the ID:COM section.
Any help?
I responded too soon. Need to think some more.
It may mean Android debugging isn't enabled. If you can't get in to settings, I'm stumped on that for the moment. Try:
A different USB cable.
Make sure you're connecting to a USB 2.0 port. (I just have lousy luck with USB 3.0 ports.)
OK, tested cables they are OK. I can plug the tablet in question to my Linux laptop. When I do and run 'adb devices' in terminal the tablet shows up with 'not authorized' beside it. I am guessing USB debugging is kinda out. But is there a way to just tell it to reboot to OS and not recovery?

Here's why I'm stumped. Odin has always been just brain-dead, stupid simple for me to use, I've never needed to to use ADB. But it does run in my mind that there is a command-line mode for nearly anything and everything. And there's a wealth of resources at your fingertips. I'm sorry I can be of more help than that. But congratulations. Your learning curve just went seriously vertical.
Is it a possible Windows 10 issue? Do I have to "Run as administrator" for ODIN to work correctly?

My gut tells me it's not Windoze (This time.).
I've always been in the habit of running as admin, anyway. It can't hurt to try. But for sure, debugging isn't enabled. And that's the show stopper.
Hi there, sorry for the delay work had been little nuts.
OK got to try everything using "Run as administrator" and ODIN say the tablet. When I did the 'Start' function I got a FAILED error. What I did which is probably not correct, it put the Firmware file name in each of the areas to upload. Do I do that, or put it in one or two (if so which one(s)). Think I am getting close to fixing this with the help you have given me!
Getting further
OK, did get a firmware update to download. Looks like it installed the firmware. When finished rebooted the T-700. Got a message with the android bot "Updating Firmware" the T-700 reboots again, the SAMSUNG logo (grey work) comes up after a while vibrated one long 3 short, pauses about 30 seconds then vibrates again... This went on for about 2 hours, then the screen flashed a lot and powered off.
Can get back to the logo screen, some flashing, then log off.....
Any suggestions on what to try?

Errr.... no. (I wish I had a screen shot of that.) After Odin is satisfied that the tab is connected, You should only click on the AP button which will open up a navigation window so you can point it to the image you want to flash. After that, Odin will check the file's integrity, then stop and wait for you to tell it START.

Well... I'm not surprised, but I've never seen one buzz an error code. It's new territory for me. There may or may not be a file somewhere that explains what the buzzing means. (It's Morse code for "b" but that's probably meaningless.) This is the best explanation I can find for how to do this. If you're doing anything this doesn't tell you to do, it's probably wrong: https://www.**********.com/install-android-6-0-1-marshmallow-on-galaxy-tab-s-8-4-sm-t700-wifi/
