Develop Bugs

[Q] Need some help on flashing rom.

O.k my wife got an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 when they first came out I bought it for her and it has this rom build on it l747UCALG1 and mine which I just bought about three days ago have this build on it l747UCALH9. Her build I was able to root if need be but my phone I can't and I am already on 2 count of the custom binary and I can't reset it since some how I can't root the phone the developers are seeing all of this stuff that we are doing to the phones and I believe they are trying to stop us. But anyway can some one tell me since I have a copy of her stock Firmware how can I just flash my phone or what have you with her stock firmware which is l747UCALG1 so I can root my phone. Also if you don't mind please leave me a clear step-by-step way to do it and if it works without doing any damage at all to my phone, and if I want to later go back to the stock that is on my phone now I can but I don't think I will unless I have to send or take it in ever for warranty repair or just sale it. If this works right leave me your e-mail or if you have a paypal account give me that address or what have you and I will send you a donation.. (Thanks)
Sincerely,

How to Revert to Old Firmware & Root Newest Release -
Hello and welcome to XDA.
I understand your concern to root your device especially with it being on the latest firmware, but I will do my best in order to explain every step to you in the utmost detail. I am currently on I747UCLH9 with a Custom ROM. Meaning I kept the Modem & Bootloader and kicked the Kernel and Firmware. Before I begin, I would like to ask you to thank to all the Developers / Posters who made & put this content together as this would not be possible without them. I will link all of their original posts at the end of this. Be sure to give credit to every one of them and please make sure to give thanks to them. I take absolutely NO CREDIT for any of these links/steps whatsoever. I simply researched and compiled them in order to help you. With that being said, let us begin.
Before anything you must remember this. After you are finished downloading whatever items you need, you MUST (and I cannot stress this enough) FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE. Reason being is because a lot of other people have tried this same process of downgrading without wiping and ended up getting startup boot errors. Be sure to NOT sign into your Google account. This is just a warning, follow the steps below to know when you should begin this process.
All files you download should be saved on your desktop. Personally I prefer to make a separate folder for these kind of delicate things. Keeps it organized so you don't forget where you are.
Make sure your phone IS NOT plugged in to your computer as of right now & you have NO external SD card.
Now;
Let's begin.
Before you start be sure you have the Samsung USB drivers installed. Which you can get from Samsung's website or here.
Samsung USB Drivers
Also be sure that you have WinRAR installed as well which you can get right here.
WinRAR
To be on the VERY SAFE side you must download ADB (Android SDK). What you must do is when it asks you for where you would like to install it, you MUST ONLY CLICK "Local Disk C:" . AND THATS IT. The best thing is to keep it here so when you have to execute a command line, it will be very simple. You will have a folder called "android" here. THAT IS YOUR ADB FOLDER. You will understand what I mean shortly. *Note* this is for CWM-T (ClockworkMod Touch).
Android SDK
1. Download the stock rooted LG1 Firmware. I747UCLG1 Stock + Root Only.
2. Right-Click the LG1 Firmware you just downloaded and extract it. It is currently root69.stock_ATT_I747UCALG1.7z ; the extraction process will turn it into the correct .tar file (Flashable file type with Odin)
3. Now that you have the Stock ROM, you need..well ODIN! Here's the link. Odin 3.07.
4. Since it is in .zip format you need to extract this as well. You will end up with 4 files. Right-Click on the Odin3 v3.07.exe and run it as administrator. Now you are at the Odin screen with nothing there -_-".
5. Factory reset your phone. Just let it boot up but DO NOT sign into your Google account, just click through skip everything head straight to your Settings, then Developer Options & make sure USB Debugging is enabled/checked. Back out of your settings completely and you are at the home screen.
6. Now, just hit the power button and turn your device off. After it is completely turned off hold the Volume Down + Home button. While holding these 2. Press and hold the Power button. You should now be holding all three buttons at the same time waiting for a green lettered screen to come on (Download Mode). Use the phone keys to select the option to continue. Your phone will now say Downloading, do not turn off device. (Or along those lines).
7. After selecting the option that sends your phone to the screen with the text "Downloading, Do not turn off device." You should be holding your phone in hand with USB plugged into your computer but your device is not connected. Odin is open on your computer screen with nothing still. From here just plug your phone in and you will see a pop-up in the first box of many under the Odin logo which says "COM: #".(#: Being a select number of your device. This is of no importance, as long as you see this pop up.) Once you see this your phone will be ready to be flashed back. Just click the PDA button and browse to the root69.stock_ATT_I747UCALG1.tar file. (Be sure you click the .tar and not the .zip.)
8. Check to make sure no other boxes should be checked except for Auto-Reboot.
9. Press Start and wait for the process to finish.
10. Everything should go through fine and your phone will start back up and you will be on LG1. You are now on stock firmware BUT rooted. Unplug your phone, Skip past everything once again and make sure USB Debugging is enabled. Keep your phone unplugged & don't forget to close ODIN.
Now before you do anything. You need a Custom Recovery AKA CWM. Well in this case we will be installing the latest touch version.
11. Download the latest ClockworkMod Touch from here. This link is saved in a way specifically from their website. You can either go to www.clockworkmod.com and browse the ROM Manager tab for the 6.0.1.4 Recovery. OR you can just right click the link provided right here and press "Save As..." this file will come up and asked to be saved as recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.4-d2att.img. RENAME IT AS "recovery.img" without the quotes & save it.
ClockworkMod Touch 6.0.1.4
12. Now that you have this file. Plug in your phone to your computer and in the root folder of your phone storage and copy the recovery.img file to it; which is the first folder that pops up when you press open when you plug your phone in. (Remember no SD CARDS!)
13. Now, click the Start button on your taskbar and in the search bar type cmd. Now you will see cmd.exe; press enter and you will see the Command Prompt open. If you saved the Android SDK the way I told you to, you can copy and paste the line below. If you saved it somewhere else you can change the folder simply by browsing to the android folder. Make sure you click on the "platform-tools" folder. NOT the "platform" folder. Also whichever directory it is you must add a "\" at the end so it will find the location correctly.
cd C:\android\platform-tools\
14. Now you are in the directory time to run ADB Shell and flash that recovery! Copy and paste or type the following; I recommend you copy and paste the last line as it gets tricky. After the SU command your phone will be detected.
First you type adb shell
following that su
and finally dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
As you can see in the last command it is named recovery.img there are no special characters or numbers or symbols to mess with the flashing. After you run this command you will an output similar to the following.
14004+0 records in
14004+0 records out
7170048 bytes transferred in 1.430 secs (5014019 bytes/sec)
Finish up this step with the following command
reboot recovery
15. Your device will now restart and head straight into recovery. Congrats you now have LG1 Stock + Root with CWM-T. Unplug the USB and press "Reboot System".
TO UPGRADE BACK TO LH9 WITH ROOT AND CWM-T
Before I begin.
You must remember that this step REQUIRES you download 4 files to go on the root of your phone memory. Your phone should now be on the home screen. Plug it in and open your phone memory. With that being said you need the following files. The Rom, Modem, Bootloader, and Kernel. You will be flashing them in this following order as well.
16. Download the following pieces and save them to the root of your phone's memory. Be sure to remember which file has what name so when you enter the recovery you aren't lost as to which to flash first.
I747UCLH9 ROM Download
I747UCLH9 Modem Download
I747UCLH9 Bootloader Download
I747UCLH9 Kernel Download
17. After everything has finished transferring, remove the phone from the computer and turn your phone. Remember how you got into download mode? Well instead of holding Volume Down + Home, you hold Volume Up + Home. While holding these two press and hold your power button until you see it says Samsung Galaxy S III. If you look at the top left hand of the screen while it's JUST turning on. You will see some blue text flash. When you see that you know your entering the recovery and can release the buttons.
18. You are back at the recovery. You must now do the following. Touch the options as I list them. Follow these steps precisely.
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Yes -- Delete all user data
- Wipe Cache
- Yes - Wipe Cache
- Advanced
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
+++++Go Back+++++
- Install Zip from SD Card
- Choose zip from SD Card
Now choose them in the following order, ROM, Modem, Bootloader, and finally Kernel.
WAIIIITTTTTTTT! After you are finished flashing the Kernel you MUST do the following. Click options as I state them.
- Wipe Cache
- Yes - Wipe Cache
- Advanced
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Advanced
- Fix Permissions
+++++Go Back+++++
Reboot System
19. Wait for your phone to reboot and NOW you can sign into your Google account. Go past everything go into your App drawer first and check for Superuser/SuperSU once you see that, go into your settings and check your ROM, Modem, Bootloader, Kernel. Yes. They are bone stock with root. Congrats you achieved maximum upgrade with root.
Now I would like to give my shout-outs; Thanks; and share the following posts that helped me compile this. I couldn't have done it without you guys.

I do not see the 4 download links for the ROM, Modem, Bootloader and Kernel. Can you post them.

I will fix the links but if you simply look at the people / threads I have given credit to at the bottom of my guide you will see drothenberger's thread. He has the original links there. Mind you, you MUST scroll down to the part where it says "PIECES:" and download following his links. Don't worry I will re-post them accordingly.

Does upgrading from rooted LH9 from a rooted LG1 trip flash counter since we are installing 4 separate files instead of 1 .tar?
thanks!

pit files for i317 and i317m

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.

Help

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.

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

Step 3: Now, Enable USB Debugging on your Samsung Galaxy Device. To enable USB Debugging: Open Settings > Developers Option > USB Debugging > Tick to enable.
(Developers Option is hidden for Android 4.2.2 or above, to show the developer option Go to Settings > About Phone > Built Number (Tap on it for 5-8 times).
Step 4: Power Off your Samsung Device.
Step 5: Now, you have to boot into Download mode. To boot into Download Mode: Press and Hold Volume Down Key, Home Key and Power Key. When phone vibrates Leave the Power Key but Keep holding the Volume Down Key and Home key. You will boot into the Download Mode.
Step 6: In the Download mode you will be able to see a Warning Yellow Triangle Sign. In this situation you have to press the Volume up key to continue.
Step 7: Download and extract Odin on your computer. Use Odin 1.85 (Successful in downgrading to KitKat from Lollipop)
Step 8: Now, Open Odin3 and connect your phone to the computer.
Step 9: Once you have connected the phone to the computer, Odin will automatically recognize the device and show “Added” message at the lower-left panel.
Step 10: Once your device is detected by Odin, click on the “PDA” (or AP) button and select the tar.md5 file that you have extracted in Step #2.
Step 11: Now, click on the “Start” button in Odin to begin the Flashing process.
Step 12: Once you see, the Green Pass Message then remove the USB cable from the device (during this process, your device will restart automatically).
Step 13: Your Samsung Device will now stuck at boot (boot loop). Now, You have to boot into Stock Recovery Mode, To Enable Stock Recovery mode: Press and Hold Volume UP key, Home Key, Power Key. When phone vibrates Leave the Power Key but Keep holding the Volume UP Key and Home key. You will boot into the Recovery Mode.
Step 14: In Recovery Mode, Wipe Data/factory reset.
Step 15: Once Cache Data is cleared, Select Restart Phone Now from the recovery menu.
Step 16: Now, your Samsung Device will restart without any issue with the Stock Rom you have flashed.
I ran into problems flashing the ROM twice and I went into a complete panic (could be Odin 3.10, or corrupted ROM). My region is XAC. Initially I tried XAR, and failed miserably. Eventually I downloaded the XAC ROM from a different source (SamMobile), also using Odin 1.85 instead of 3.10. Everything went smoothly (with the above stated boot loop). Should you get a Fail message in Odin, use the instructions from droidviews (do a web search on droidviews and "firmware-upgrade-encountered-an-issue-solution". Again, I will post the link once my post count is slightly higher.)

Step 3 is not required at all. Odin 3.10 should work fine.
As for factory reset, that shouldn't be required, that should be a last resort. Just wipe cache partition. I would simply install twrp for this.
It should then boot.

Rooting the P607T (T-Mobile Version)?

I just got the P607T version and i tried searching for the specific version threads but i didnt have any luck.
i have 4.4.2 id like to root and possiably update to the latest KK or LP while keeping the samsung progs (like multi window) and hopefully keep T-mobile sim support?
-thanks

bump?

Just got my hands on a P607T on 5.1.1 today. My coworker was getting an iPad and wanted to trade the Note in for like $37 in store credit! Can you believe that? I managed to score a great little companion tab for my Note 4 for next to nothing!
Anyway, I hopped on XDA and was a little overwhelmed by the various models of this tablet, and unfortunately found little mention of the T-Mobile variety. After reading through several posts (and being pretty familiar with rooting other Samsung devices) I figured I'd give something a go, hoping that if I mucked the tablet up I could just ODIN the stock firmware.
After doing what I listed below, I appear to be rooted (according to Titanium Backup), and root sticks after a reboot. However, TWRP does not stick. This isn't a problem for me, as I'm content with the stock rom, but it begs the question as to whether I could've just ODIN'ed CF Auto Root and been done with it. If that's the case you can skip everything I did further down and just:
1. Download latest CF AutoRoot from here (https://download.chainfire.eu/551/C...F-Auto-Root-lt03ltetmo-lt03ltetmo-smp607t.zip) to your PC and extract the contents of the zip file.
2. Reboot your tablet into Download Mode. I was able to do this by restarting the tablet and holding the Home button and Volume Down button as it rebooted. Press Volume Up when prompted and the tablet should show the green android along with "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!"
3. On your PC, open the folder you extracted from the CF Auto Root download. Inside this folder, you will see the ODIN application. Run it as Administrator.
4. From this ODIN window, click "AP" and select the CF-Auto-Root file that is in the same folder you just ran ODIN from.
5. Connect your tablet which is in Download Mode to your PC. When you see the window under ID:COM in ODIN turn blue and show something like "0:[COM3]", click Start.
5. Let it do its thing. You should see the magic happening on your tablet as CF Auto Root is installed, and then the tablet should reboot and you should be rooted.
However, this isn't exactly how I did it, so I'm listing all of my steps here and you may proceed as you see fit:
1. Download latest ODIN from here (http://odindownload.com/download/) to your PC and extract the contents of the zip file.
2. Download latest TWRP here (https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote1012014qcom.html) to your PC.
3. Download latest CF AutoRoot from here (https://download.chainfire.eu/551/C...F-Auto-Root-lt03ltetmo-lt03ltetmo-smp607t.zip) to your PC and extract the contents of the zip file.
4. Reboot your tablet into Download Mode. I was able to do this by restarting the tablet and holding the Home button and Volume Down button as it rebooted. Press Volume Up when prompted and the tablet should show the green android along with "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!"
5. On your PC, open the folder you extracted from the latest ODIN download and run the application as Administrator. Click the "AP" button and select the TWRP file you downloaded.
6. While your tablet is in Download Mode, connect it via USB to your PC and you should see the window under ID:COM in ODIN turn blue and show something like "0:[COM3]"
7. Before you click Start in ODIN, be ready to immediately hold down Home and Volume Up on the tablet. Click Start in ODIN and immediately hold down the Home+Volume Up key combo on the tablet for 10 seconds. If done correctly, the tablet will reboot into TWRP after about 30 seconds. (Note: I read this in another thread, and it's intended to keep the tablet from overwriting a custom recovery with the stock recovery when rebooting. Again, this ended up not working for me, as TWRP did not stick after reboot, but I did it as part of this process to get root, which seems successful, so I'm including it here.)
8. Reboot the tablet to System from TWRP. Reboot back into Download Mode. If you haven't already, disconnect the tablet from your PC.
9. On your PC, open the folder you extracted from the CF Auto Root download. Inside this folder, you will see another ODIN application. Run it as Administrator.
10. From this ODIN window, click "AP" and select the CF-Auto-Root file that is in the same folder you just ran ODIN from.
11. Connect your tablet which is in Download Mode to your PC. When you see the window under ID:COM in ODIN turn blue and show something like "0:[COM3]", click Start.
12. Let it do its thing. You should see the magic happening on your tablet as CF Auto Root is installed, and then the tablet should reboot and you should be rooted.
Again, your experience may vary with this. I took a gamble and gave this a shot and I appear to have root according to Titanium Backup, which has been a pretty reliable indicator in the past. I may run into problems down the line. If so, I'll update.

How's performance? I want to try it, but my main concern is the GPS issues. I want to eventually mount my P607T in my Jeep for navigation, music, podcasts, etc. Any chance you've tested GPS?

Performance is very smooth especially for me going from stock 4.4.2 to MM
I just threw my sim from my phone into the tablet and loaded up Waze, it seems like it works but thats the best i can tell you, i haven't had the chance to really use the sim functions yet

Do you guys have brand-new devices? Can you make a backup of factory-original esf?

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.

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:

The corruption was my side, I was using a download manager, but when I downloaded through chrome it was all good. As I said, schoolboy error on my part for not checking md5. I used sammobile site for the firmware.

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?
