Sent from my stock, untouched Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 on the xda-developers app

Go to sammobile web site find your oringinal stock rom mine it btu uk
Download it as backup then find what ever rom you want and download
Get odin 3 v3.09 turn off tab start odin 3 hold home vol up and power once it turns onlet go off power while holding buttons till it shows a download screen press up on volume key ..hook up to pc .make sure odin finds it you see com port in coner
Place your unzipped rom in ap section waif till it loads and checked then press start
On odin 3 dont touch till its done
Thats it as i made a backup with kies i when in recovery and factory wipe so its
More out the box and let google restore whatever .if you want to go back to your
Orininal rom just do the same as you did easy
Ps make sure you turn off srceen savers or power options on pc or laptop first
This is a must do and antivirus software till its finished

[Q] Black Screen on to Galaxy Note LC1 after BootLoader with ODIN

Hi, soume one could help me
I have a black screen on my galaxy notes after a bootloader via ODIN. The screen is black even at the Power + Home + sound !!!
But the galaxy note appears onto the peripheriques windows and Odin seems to work normally.
I'm going to install the LC1 official ROM with Odin but it changes nothing. I'll install the very first ROM N7000XXKKA_N7000OXXKK5_XEF just to see.
Thank's
I got the same problem too, did tried many methods to hard reset but not work, phone keep booting itself, anyone help?
The solution
Must be installe the first ROM of your Galaxy Phone.
I found the solution on a French blog
http://galaxynotetests.blogspot.fr/2012/01/tuto-mettre-jour-son-galaxy-note.html
At the end of the update, restart your rating Galaxy .. If ever it does not start after a quarter of an hour, you can simply go to the page sammobile and start the flash ROM of the first Galaxy rating. This rom contains a. PIT that will be needed in ODIN in PIT. Then repeat with the latest ROM again. This recovery method can be effective if you ever have bugs. Problems of this kind occur mainly on mobile operators blocked.
If a referral ODIN [FAIL] for each test, make sure the USB cable is that of the Galaxy Rating, and unplug anything that could put him in conflict (USB gadgets, printers, USB 3G or wifi etc ...)

Post in Galaxy S2 threads I'm sure there is the answer..
also provide more details i.e. Odin log/output
I did the same exact thing. Went to s2 forum and it shows u how to reset your phone to factory. Then all you need is to re root and voila. Back on game mode!!!::good:

Sprint GS3 Stock 4.3 firmware here!

I've managed to download a fully working 4.3 md5 for the Sprint Galaxy S3. I've uploaded it to Mediafire so you don't have to deal with slow download speeds. Took me 7 hours to download this from a different website. i hope you all enjoy PM me if the link gets taken down, and i'll re-upload it. This is Android 4.3 for the Sprint Galaxy S3. this firmware is to be flashed with Odin, (I've provided 3.07 on Mediafire as well) which you can download below, Samsung device drivers (Version 1.3.15.0000.0) are included as well, and the Stock 4.3 firmware in the link below. You will also need Winrar to extract and run Odin.
Samsung Drivers: http://developer.samsung.com/board/download.do?bdId=0000000700&attachId=0000000001
Sprint GS3 4.3 stock Firmware: https://www.mediafire.com/?nq2ugt0oo9tlj65
Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Note: this is NOT rooted and it DOES have knox.
For beginners with flashing firmware on Odin, after you download the S3 firmware, put your S3 into Download mode. If you have a USB jig like me, you plug that in. If not, while the device is turned off, hold the volume DOWN, POWER button, and HOME button.
Run Odin as an administrator, make sure the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time boxes ARE checked, the click the PDA button, navigate to the place where you downloaded the firmware too, and click it. It will take a second to check the md5 file, Odin will freeze and not respond, so let it load. if it takes 5 minutes, close Odin. If not, then Odin will unfreeze and the start button will be able to be clicked.
Click the button, sit back for 5-15 minutes, and let Odin work it's magic. Odin runs best if it is the only application running.
I have experienced when restoring from ROMs that sometimes the phone will not fully boot. if you are restoring from a ROM, go into Clockworkmod or TWRP, wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, and wipe system. Yes, wipe system. If you don't have CWM or TWRP, the try using the default recovery and wiping data and cache. If you don't know how to boot into recovery mode, hold the volume UP button, the POWER button, and the HOME button until you see blue text in the top right screen, then let go. when the text disappears, hold that button combo again until you see the android with an open chest. Then proceed to flash back to stock with Odin. This will ONLY work with Odin. I don't think it matters which version of Odin you use. You CANNOT install this straight from system recovery or Clockworkmod, or TWRP. I hope Sprint GS3 owners are happy with this. :3
I am in no way affiliated with Samsung. I am just providing a mirror for those of you stuck with really slow downloads because people want to make money with ads. I have played no part in making this software, i have not tampered or edited it in no way at all. This is literally stock Android 4.3 for the Sprint Galaxy S3. I also am providing the files for Odin and the Samsung drivers because people have trouble finding both of those files. they are not mine.
nice post and find but I've had this up for quite some time now lol
Oops sorry I never saw it when googling for the firmware yesterday or when looking through the forums.

[Q] update to 4.4 from 4.3 +clean some bugs

Hi all my name is Blake and I'm a noob. (Sigh) thanks in advance for answering my stupid questions and being the awesome intelligent human bada$$es you are and helping teach me to better understand and operate my phone! So I rooted my phone a while back (4.3) or at least attempted it but I think Knox or something along those lines was preventing the process from completing so I had a friend help me out to complete the root so I'm still not 100% on how to do this. So I want to upgrade to 4.4 assuming it's better but more importantly my phone has a lot of quirks and bugs that annoy the living crap out of me and I won't waste u r time listing them unless you need me to and I'm hoping updating will solve some of them and if not I'll be back to forum surfing... anyways I'm rooted and need to know how to get to where I can get the ota update and then root it or however would be easiest to get the update and back to being rooted? I tried reading and understanding the existing threads but I'm still learning the terminology and i couldn't quite understand the ones i could find. Also this is probably a stupid question but is there an app or anything that will magically go through my phone and fix any stupid bugs and stuff!
Also to show my appreciation if u guys have like a YouTube channel i can like and subscribe to or anything i can do to show my appreciation I'd be glad to do so just send me a link thanks again you're my hero!

I know you wanted a video I don't have all of the equipment to do so .. this is just a lot of words but simple easy steps.
Best possible solution for you if you really wanted the 4.4 update (nothing really has changed except the basic updates (firmware/modem)
... nothing noticeable except when you click on About Phone lol and you see 4.4.2 and the description of your system. That's really it.
But if you really want to give it a try the best solution for you is:
1 ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR PHONE!
This WILL BE UNROOTED BUT WILL GIVE THE OPTION TO BE ROOTED IF YOU WOULD LIKE
2 Download Odin if you haven't already and download the .tar file for 4.4.2 (the OTA Update)
When you extracted everything and opened Odin make sure Auto Reboot and F Reset Time is the ONLY ones checked.
3 Put the .tar file in PDA on Odin and put your phone in download mode (home, vol down, and power) when it comes up press vol up and it will show downloading .. it may show NOT RESPONDING give it a minute it usually will load up
Attach the usb cable from computer to phone once it registers it (will say added) click start. let it finish and you will have a complete wipe of 4.4.2 STOCK ROM --- UNROOTED!
FOLLOW THESE STEPS (COLOR MATCH) TO BE ROOTED ..... 4.4.2 ROOTED OR 4.3 ROOTED
-THIS IS THE START FOR BOTH --
1 Download your custom recovery (Philz or TWRP) ... I use Philz it's simple and and does everything for you to make sure it goes through.
2 Open Odin once more (same checked) turn your phone off wait for the vibration to indicate it is completely off then put it in download mode.
3 Place your recovery in PDA then attach phone and click start.
It will reboot just turn phone off and enter recovery mode (home, vol UP, and power). If the recovery doesn't show (sometimes it won't due to knox again) Then try again this way:
Phone off, place recovery in PDA, attach phone, and UNCLICK Auto-Reboot and push start. It will show downloading wait for Odin to show pass then boot in recovery from the screen you are on by just pushing home vol up and power. It should load that time.
Once it's loaded...
FOR 4.4.2 - ROOTED
3. Factory reset/clean to install new rom ...
DO NOT wipe cache just simply factory reset ..wait.. done ... clean to install new rom .. wait .. done.
If you do you will get a Status 7 or an error message.
4. Flash rom
5. Reboot
-It may ask you if you want to disable custom recovery make sure you hit NO!
You will need to update SU on playstore. And you should be good to go (had problems the first few times).
FOR 4.3 - ROOTED
DO NOT TRY FLASHING .TAR THROUGH ODIN. It will fail everytime because you can not downgrade firmware through it.
1. You will need to go back to stock unrooted with this HERE (MC2 Download only)
2 Make sure you have the MC2 Download -- or you will receive a Status 7 .. which means you don't have the right rom to update from.
3 Once you're on the MC2 firmware I believe it is the 4.2 version.
4 Turn off phone, enter recovery mode and flash this MC2 to Mk4 Rooted (NEED TO HAVE MC2 first!)
5 Reboot - if it asks to disable custom recovery make sure you press NO or it will unroot it at start up.

Note 3 neo 7505L -Lollipop

Guys I'm trying to upgrade my samsung galaxy note 3 neo sm-7505L now since 4 days.
I've soft bricked it,
I've rooted it,
I used odin and renamed tar.mp5 files to only tar.
I tried french firmware,
Russian firmware, hongkong-singapure,timbuktu-whatever firmware.
I can't sleep, my wife hates me and my kids go crazy.
Please stop that nightmare.
I managed to download firmware 4.2 again.
First I like to know:
Is a 7505 any different to a 7505L, when it comes to installing a new rom/firmware?
Second:
If anyone has done this before, please just link a description/youtube-video and I will try to figure out the rest on my own.
Lollipop is all I need at the moment, no matter if costum-romed or firmwared, as my knox counter is "1" anyway.
Thanks in advance
Hannes (very sleepy and frustrated)
download latest 5.1.1 from here http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=sm-n7505&exact=1
enter download mode ( turn off. vol down+home+power)
flash the firmware in odin
enter recovery (vol up+ home+power)
clear cache and data
reboot
