Hey everyone, I can use some of your expertise assistance?
So here we go, Last night my curiosity took over and I decided to try ICS custom rom on my phone. I fully install the Rom, unfortunately, the phone got stuck on the ATT's logo then rebooting (it repeated in cycle). Fortunately, I did factory setting and able get my stock ROM back. (I did all this by using Clockwork Mod)
Against all my intuition, I decided to give Another custom ICS a try. It didnt work neither. I'm stuck now, cant factory reset to go back to my stock rom. Then i decided to unroot/unbrick method via Odin (I failed again). I got the phone to show the t-mobile logo but stop there, at this point i feel that there is nothing i could do to save my baby.
Now, i can only access Android System Recovery <3e>.
It pretty stuck in boot loop. If you think Odin will solve this issue then can you post the link for me to download the package?
PLEASE HELP ME?
Follow the instructions again to return to stock via Odin.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
did odin say it was successful? i'd try odin again, maybe a different odin package.
The first instance was a boot loop not a brick and right now it sounds like you can get into download mode and if that's the case then you should be able to flash back to stock? Did you use the one click Odin ics because there isn't any mention of clockwork recovery in your post?
I gave everyone a thumb up for your response. I coudn't find the right files to flash my phone back to stock ROM via Odin. Could you guys post a link for me to get the all the files that i would need to save my phone?
Roms don't brick phones. Ppl brick phones ;-). If you can get into download or recovery you should be golden, like my showers
In the dev section they have everything u need...search for how to return back to stock after badflash..just do a lil searching here...
Feeling nice today so.. Here's the thread with stock Tmobile 2.3.6 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391174 just unzip the file the password is in the op then flash the md5 file with odin.. Just so you know for next time there is a sticky in the general section called "☞ [ INDEX ] .☆.☆.☆. SEARCH HERE 1st .☆.☆.☆. most wanted topics, FAQ" with all the info you might need all it takes is a little searching to find these things out.. Good luck

Welcome to the forum! Your phone's hardly bricked if you can get to download and recovery modes. Flashing the correct (stock) firmware should get you back to working conditions. What Android version were you on prior to it being stuck and what were you trying to upgrade to?

i747M is for the Canadian and Mexican variants. If you were on stock 4.1.2, you should be able to Odin back to stock 4.1.1 or upgrade to 4.3 via custom recovery. You can go to the thread below to check the correct stock image for your phone based on carrier. Make sure you use the correct image as flashing the wrong version could hard brick your phone. Download to your PC and then flash. If you select the 4.3 version, you would need to flash custom recovery to your phone via Odin, save the file to a (micro) SD card and then flash via custom recovery.

If we are going to flash a stock ROM, we would need to flash the correct version as there is risk of a worse brick if we flash the wrong one. When the phone was working normally, the old network would probably be showing during booting. If you got it from abroad, please check if you can get the information from the previous owner. If there is no way of telling the correct firmware, then you can flash custom recovery to the phone and try flashing a custom ROM via recovery. It's always tidier flashing a custom ROM to a device functioning normally but, unless we can be sure of the correct stock firmware to flash, your options may be limited.

I've seen this particular problem reported several times and it's always been a problem with the pit file. Flashing a complete stock system should fix all partition problems though. If the stock file you are using is an Odin flashable file, you may try using Odin 3.09. Otherwise, I'd suggest you find a recovery flashable image and flash via (custom) recovery.

1. Reboot to recovery - Power button+Home button+volume up then factory reset if this don't work:
2. Download a 4.4.2 rom from Sammobile and flash through Odin and then repeat the procedures to install Dr Keaton Rom.
Hope you can solve the problem.

You did a lot of steps that shouldn't have been done in the first place so instead of trying more things that wouldn't work just flash the official stock NE1 firmware from https://mega.co.nz/#!2QRmCbyb!YkWs927BfvYxqL-vJiQHXkshqG3UtqHm4XIDbgLsEK0 ,extract the zip file you'll get a tar file ,put your phone into download mode , (uninstall kies) only run odin, connect the phone to computer,make sure the ID:COM turns blue then check mark AP/PDA tab on odin and select the downloaded firmware.Dont touch anything else hit start and let odin do it's magic once your dad's phone successfully boots and you get network etc etc.then ask me i'll tell how to root the stock firmware and run custom ROM.Good luck.

That's odd,go perform a factory reset and see what happens.Which one was your previous ROM?
Edit: After factory reset if it still boots in your old ROM, reflash the stock rom i gave you and then tell me what happens.
Use odin v3.09 at least ill give you the link hold on
http://odindownload.com/
Are you sure it's the OLD ROM and not stock rom?Check in settigns>>about device>>and tell what you see under build # cause the link i gave you is of Kitkat ROM too NE1 firmware

Yes you dont need bootloader nor wifi fix anymore since flashing official stock 4.4.2 you are on the newest boootloader.Now you need to root your phone.So you need philz touch 6.41.tar file and supersu v 1.97.
Philz tar file
SuperSu v1.97
Refer to this post of mine in another thread How to root
The above posts show how to flash recovery in odin and do exactly what it says in the image UNCHECK AUTO REBOOT IN ODIN once its done flashing and says pass phone wont be turned off so remove the phone from laptop and pull the battery out and follow my instructions there.
Once you boot your phone again after flashing superSU it will ask you if you want to disable KNOX select yes (knox will be triggered to 0x1 that means warranty will be void)
Also thank the person when you visit his thread since he made the thread and i just helped him a bit.his id is smeet.somaiya

Btw the link to download odin seems to be spamware, insted of downloading odin, i got a program 104kb giving lots of options, and at the end still did not install odin. Just for info. (i already had odin later version, and used that before, but wanted to check if a newer one is available, so header over there).
Going to install dr ketans custom rom. fingers crossed.
Thanks for all the help, will update, how it goes.
It never asked me to disable knox...
Would it be problematic if knox is not disabled ? as i wanted to use knox.
...
Finished flashing dr ketans rom, and it booted just fine, albiet slow compared to the stock rom.
Thankyou Pratik for all the help with detail and correctness.

Ya i think all the custom ROM for our note 2 are heavily modded the latest ones that's why sometimes just to feel the smoothness i flash back stock ROM and when i get bored of them i flash one of the custom roms.Glad to know you were able to successfully flash the rom of your choice.Enjoy.
Help
Hello everybody, I have a problem with my galaxy note 2 N7100.
The problem is the following:
One day I was using my phone normally, and all of a sudden the screen turned off and the phone never turned on again, (if you press the power button the screen turns a little gray, but you must be in a dark place to perceive it)
I can't access download or any other mode, or at least I can't detect if the phone has accessed it, because the screen just turns a little gray and does nothing else.
I have the drivers and have the official ROM for my region, ODIN installed, ADB, and other flashing tools and recovery files. But it has been long time since the last time I flashed something or did anything to the device and would appreciate a little help.
Can anyone here help me to solve this issue or knows what is happening with my phone?
Thank you for any kind of help you can give me
Update: I "think" I got into download mode blindly, just press the home+power+down vol buttons, then pressed up vol and connected the phone to the usb, surprisingly the computer made the usb sound that indicated me that the connection was recognized, Odin showed the ID:COM blue, so I proceeded to load the original rom and flash it, it took around 3.5 minutes and finally it showed succesful. But when I pressed the power button to turn on the phone, the screen still grey and doesn't start. I'm starting to think its a screen problem. I already purchased a new screen so I'm going to tell a frend to install it for me.
I'll be in touch
I have spent days looking, turn on goes to kies firmware screen yet when i put in the model and s/n it shuts and the new samsung app to replace kies is of no help. I can get to the download screen and odin shows it up but no ATT 10.5 Tab S Sm-T807A firmware ANYWHERE.
Please help this is a very very expensive paperweight and im not affiliated with ATT so them helping me is out of the question.

They dont have it for the SM-T807A
0 Results found
You searched for "sm-t807a"
It would better if you just explain what state the tablet is in and how it got to that state.
There is no official software for the t807a.
OK here how it goes,
The tablet was completely fine.
The original owner ( a family member) tried to root it and didnt accomplish it, somehow through his process it ended up softbricked.
I can enter he download mode for odin but no firmware for this LTE model.
When I turn it on it goes to the kies screen but kies doesnt recognize it, and when I enter the serial it buffers for 2 seconds then closes the process of kies.
Also it says device isnt supported and yes I have installed the right drivers and uninstalled kies numerous times.
The new replacement prog for Kies (forgot the name) is no help either.
Im terrified of what to do next as it does go to the odin screen just no firmware as I stated.
Any update, or could someone upload the stock firmware so i can use Odin on it.
Samsung told me ATT can flash it for free onto it so its deff a possibility however I do not have a ATT account so they cant help me.
It doesn't boot because the stock recovery has been wiped/replaced.
Thats assuming you have tried to boot recovery?
The att models are all bootloader locked.
I'm surprised a bootloader locked device even allowed an unsigned image to flash or did they use something like flashify?
The stock ota update was posted by someone here a while back. Your only chance is to pull the recovery from it and try and flash it in download mode. However odin may refuse to flash it.
If I can find it I can pull out the recovery.img and post a modified cf_autoroot which will try and flash the original recovery, that's if odin will even accept the image.
I was used with something like kingroot.

this i would highly appreciate as the firmwares not deleted just corrupted.
i have searched the whole web.

The images won't flash as they are raw unsigned images.
The update should contain a signed recovery image, but may still not flash with odin as the tar package you make will not be signed either and odin may refuse to flash
There may be a way though, another member managed to brick their device by flashing twrp using Heimdall, but couldn't then flash back the stock recovery with Heimdall.
If somehow the stock recovery can be forced to flash with Heimdall then there's a chance of unbricking the device.
I worked just flashed the FW part through AP did it on a friends pc all is back to new.
if you need a link for the ripped files just pm me.
also odin was used.

Unfortunately, Heimdall shows the same behaviour as Odin has.
AFAIK they are using the same protocol and seems that recovery CRC/sign check done via device internally, not via flashing tool.

Did you use command line or gui?
I used GUI, i didnt do the bootloader or choose any special clickies, I simply tried another pc with the same FW and it flashed in a hearbeast with PASS.
USB hubs are the devil, TRY EVERY USB PORT YOU HAVE
Kies sucks so does the new one.
any issues PM me and ill set you straightm any public questions ask away.
You have to download the IMG files and use the IMG to TAR app, I will provide a ZIP with all tars included but I assure you dont start ****ing around with bootloader images stick to AP.
AT&T is he devil.

The gui question was for synphonica about Heimdall.
Are you saying you flashed the images with odin? Which version and which images?
This has been tried before and failed.
Also what do you mean you tried a pc with the same firmware, same firmware as what?
I'm new to rooting so be gentle, I just bought a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 sm-t807a (AT&T) with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. I want to backup the stock ROM (firmware) so I can go back just in case I bricked it when rooting or installing custom ROM. I searched the web but there are no clear instruction on how to do it for an unrooted sm-t807a. Can someone provide me with a step-by-step instruction? I can share my backup of the stock ROM afterward since there does not seem to be one on the web. Thank you in advance for your help.

You can only root with Kingroot, don't try any other method or you'll brick it nor can you install a custom kernel or recovery.
Once you have root you can pull the partition images with EFS PRO or PARTITION BACKUP.
The best way to have a back up is to catch the stock Firmware update.
This is tricky so research how to do it.
There is one backup I know of:
