Soft bricked my device, Odin failure everytime - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried installing xposed framework via TWRP and ended up with a bootloop. I attempted to fix this by using Odin, however I keep getting a failure. I also tried to use MTP via TWRP and I keep getting a failure when copying over a file. I am in desperate need of help!

Don't leave me hanging here guys

Well if you are updated to current tou would be oe1 no longer bob7 and oe1 cant be rolled back to bob7. Best thing there is one rom that works that is bob7 and that is noterized rom. This is a great rom as well to be stuck on till the oe1 tar is released or rumored oe3 being tested. Just download and follow SaintZ93 installation instructions. Hopw this helps.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. Can you throw some ideas at me on how I can transfer files to my phone? MTP doesn't work

If you have twrp you can mount it to computer and do a slow transfer but works, or pull sd card and transfer straight to card. Then place back in phone and do wipe x3 not sd card, restart recovery and then install rom from sd card. and then follow instruction for Rom installation.

Do you have another sd card you can use or another phone to reformate the sd card. then follow needed steps to have twrp install rom. as well you should be able to move to phone storage to flash this rom just do your wipes first then twrp to comp and move to internal memory (phone). Make sure you have a good brand sd card as well the cheap 12 dollar ones just dont cut it most of the time. I try them and most of the time i get burned.

Like he said...if you took OE1 update, Notorized rom is the only one out there right now that will work with the OE1 kernel. All the other roms out there are written and work with previous firmware kernel BO7.

That is correct this rom is the only one i have gotten to work, we are waiting on the OE1 Tar to drop so Dev can start to switch over but I have a feeling we wont see a TAR till oe3 comes out. Which in that case you can not go to oe3 till the TAR drops and flash through Odin. Sorryman but you are stuck, the best part at least it is a great rom to use and stable.

how do i install twrp on oe1 update

Even on OE1, I believe it's still the same as normal:
-download odin to your pc, download twrp to your pc
-power off Note 4 first, then turn on by pressing: power + home + volume down (then hit volume up to continue when prompted on screen)
-connect phone to pc (download/install samsung drivers if you haven't already), now load up odin & make sure you're connected to phone & now you can install TWRP

Phone stuck on "Samsung" boot.

You are supposed to flash the compatible ROM BEFORE rebooting. Turn off the phone, boot back into CWM with 3 finger and flash the EXT4 compatible ROM.
I never had a ROM on it jut rooted it.
I want the stock stuff just rooted so I can get the wireless tether.

That was kind of an important part of the OP on CWM 3.0.0.6. You need to pick a ROM that is EXT4 compatible, download it onto your computer, pop the sd card out of your phone, put it in a card reader on your computer and copy the ROM to it and then put it back into the phone and boot with 3 finger salute and choose install zip from sd card and flash the ROM.
Or you can Odin a prerooted EC05 stockish ROM for that.
An upgrade to CWM 3.0.2.5 will fix the problem?
*know how to upgrade from a previous post*
Here is a stock EC05 ROM for EXT4 you can Odin in:

Yes, this may work. You are just having that kind of day, huh? Do you have access to a card reader on your computer?
I thought we had you all set with CWM 3.0.2.5? How did you end up with CWM 3.0.0.6?
Thats what I said! Idk how I got there let me put it on. Give me about 10 minutes.

I must be hungry...I just thought of something. Go into CWM and go to restore. There is a file there which says beforeEXT4 or something like that. Restore that and then put the other CWM 3.0.2.5 on and you should be good.
It wont let me do that.
Says no files found etc.

Is your sd card still in your phone? The conversion to EXT4 makes a backup on your sd card.
Yup i saw cwm saying it was creating a backup
when i go to clockworkmods/backup/
its there but says when i try to flash it as .zip no files found.

[Q] Stuck on TWRP

I wiped flashed file but it keeps booting into the modified TWRP RECOVERY? Stuck at this point.
Anyone have any ideas?
I was on TWRP 2.4.1 Newest version
MA5 Stock Deodexed MA5 Firmwares
OK Now a little freaked out. I can't get to billards file or any of my back ups because they were on my external sd card!!!! I hate trying to learn new stuff (old dog)
I'm so used to HTC and when I think I have a grasp of Sammy I F&ck it up!
Oh yeah and my back ups on PC are gone because of hard drive crash! FFFFUUUUDDDDGGGGEEEE!!!!!!!
Any help to get me back to where I was before I flashed this thing would be very much appreciated. Hell I'll take a bootable ROM of any kind. Sweating bullets!
I have the mskips 3.0 toolkit can that help? I scared ****less to do anything!
I don't have ideas of why. But if you have ROM, try flashing it and see if it'll boot. Then at least you can get the rom you want later and maybe your backups.

It's (TWRP) not showing anything under the external sd card and I'm not sure how to mount the external sd card? Under mount there are some options problem is this is a modified version of TWRP 2.3.2.3 or something close to that. Just confused on how to just get a stock rom back on the thing?
thank you very much for your reply

I had this problem a few times. I know I solved it by just flashing back to stock and formatted everything. I know that's probably excessive and you'll lose a lot of info but it's better than having a very expensive paper weight. Lol

I can't see anything on my sd card and since this is some sort of modified version of TWRP it can only see what's on the internal memory. But none of my back ups are on the internaland whenever it rebooots it always boots the the modified version of TWRP. Really stumped i don't know adb so I don't know if I can even push anything to the phone?
Don't mind losing data no biggie there but I'm like you don't want it totally hosed.
Thanks Charles
Use odin to flash latest twrp over the funky one. Then use real twrp to access sd card. Also before that, remove sd card and copy contents to new hard drive using a card reader.

Copying files now. Quick question/advice If I can see my old TWRP file in my internal memory could I flash that file with this weird modified version of TWRP? Then I could flash any file from my sd card stock or custom ROM. If not to flash the TWRP file in Odin do I place it in PDA the slot and which buttons do I need to check (reboot etc)?
Wait I can't use Odin because my PC can't recognize or see my phone because of this modified version of TWRP. Damn it!
My apologies for the noob questions just scared ****less to do anything.
My sd card is wiped clean
So I could put a file on sd card but this modified version of TWRP can't see my external sd card.
Thank you for your time
Charles
To use odin you have to put the phone in "download mode" not recovery. It's a special mode different from recovery or OS or bootloader. Power off the phone and press & hold UPvol+home+power until you get the download mode screen.
It doesn't matter what kind of recovery or anything else you have. It works even with no recovery or kernel or bootloader or OS at all.
Get the tar version of openrecovery 2.4.1.0 (or whatevers latest you future readers). Don't unpack the tar.
Uncheck reboot.
Use the PDA button, select the downloaded tar.
After flashing is done and it says 1 success 0 error, bpull the battery.
This next is annoying and I can't really believe there is no better way, but I need to do it this way or else the newly flashed recovery doesn't "take" and I have to flash it again. Just once the first time after flashing. After that no problem. Anyway, hold DOWNvol+home+power, and while holding all those, put the battery back in.
Now you should have a good fully functional useful TWRP recovery that you can use to flash all kinds of things from the sd card, backup all kinds of things to the sd card, access the internal main OS flash drive, the internal "sdcard" and external sdcard, etc.

Ok since I was in the middle of all this (On MA5 Firmware and stock rooted ROM) Do I flash a stock rooted ROM and which one(LJ1 MA5 LK8)??? I don't know where I was as far as this zip was when I wiped dalvik and cache and started this disaster?
For the life of me I can't remember how to boot into recovery Power & volume down? Is that right?
Thank you for all of your help your a godsend.

Thank you SOOOO MUCH... going to cry in my stressed out happy place

Samsung GS3 (d2att) not booting but have TWRP Recovery available

Hello all-
I was just recently running CM 10.2 RC1 but had to do an install of the correct gapps as it was randomly rebooting. Well the device now is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen with the BLUE cyanogen. I have access to TWRP and am able to reflash the .zip file for CM 10.2 RC1 yet it still won't boot? I did the wipe of dalvik, cache, data and system but still no luck? The device is NOT recognized in Odin. I just want to get the phone up and running again, even if it means root is lost.
Please help!!

Get a sd card>download a new rom and put the rom in the sd card and flash like a normal ROM
http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00023/E5R/I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar.md5 You can download that file and put it in the PDA section once you run Odin and run it from there. This will put your phone back to the Stock Rom 4.1.1 and you can restart from there if you want.

No, with the file I told you to download you do not need to have a SD card because you can't boot into the rom you have Windows will not recognize the phone like normal to drag and drop to it. So with this file you can save it to your computer, Open Odin, put your phone into Download Mode, plug it into the computer so that Odin detects it. Then Click PDA and browse to the file you downloaded and tell it to use that file and then Run the process and it will install the original rom onto your phone.

Can you get into recovery mode by any chance? If you can do that then it should be possible to do a factory reset from within Recovery Mode and possibly get you past the boot screen. If that doesn't help let me know and I will see what else I can find out for you. Also what all did you have checked and unchecked when you Ran Odin to reinstall the Stock Rom? If you had any of them other than Auto-Reboot on that may also have caused a problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722686 here is a forum that will show you how to use Odin. I apologize for not remembering about telling you what to check and uncheck. But try recovery mode first and do a factory reset and if that does not work, redo the odin install this time only having Auto-Reboot checked.

Any ideas as to what could have possibly caused the issue in the first place? I do want to re-root the device again and I am assuming my best bet is to flash a Stock ROM like you referenced with ROOT injected? What order should I follow, flashing a Stock w/Root injected...and then the Recovery of choice? Or vice-versa? What do you recommend?
Again, your timely responses were greatly appreciated. Was really worried I would have to take it to ATT.

It could have been several things that could cause the ROM to do that. I recommend that you make sure that your Bootloader is up to date and then go from there. Download the newest CWM, do a backup of your current rom so that you can flash back to it if you phone messes up. Then when you try to install a new ROM make sure you Wipe: Data then Cache, then Dalvik Cache in Advanced then Format /System. Then from there Install the new Rom, then install the correct GApps, then wipe Cache and Dalvik cache then Reboot into System. It takes messing up a few times to get it right but as long as you follow the guides pretty close and keep a good backup that you know works or keep the knowledge of how to Inject the Stock Rom to your phone when it messes up you shouldn't have much to worry about.

BTW, how can I confirm I have the most recent bootloader version? It looks like my phone's current baseband version is i747UCDLK3. I did download the boot_CWM_i747UCDMG2.zip file and put it on the internal storage. Do I just want to flash that file to update my bootloader?
Thanks again!

Thanks for the information. The phone that has been all screwed up and the reason I posted a thread in the first place is my gf's GS3. I have her's rooted again and running. I am going to update her baseband version and then install a custom ROM so she's up to 4.3.1. As far as mine goes, I have been fine. I myself also still have the outdated bootloader version. Is it ok to just flash that update for the bootloader without it doing anything wrong? I'm asking this since I'm rooted and running a custom ROM with no current problems. In other words, I don't want to end up saying "it wasn't broke, why did I mess with it" ? I did bookmark that thread you referenced in your last message. Damn that thread is LOADED with just about everything one would possibly need to know about Android and making it their own.
So my g/f accepted the OTA update today (not knowing obviously) and she got updated to 4.3 via AT&T, unfortunately!! I attempted to flash the latest Liquid Smooth ROM and I continue to get a FAILED message during installation. It mentions a bunch of bootloader numbers ( I am assuming the only ones this ROM is compatible with?) So is there any way to roll the bootloader back to a compatible one or just go a different route for the custom ROM?
Also, I attempted flashing the file to update my baseband yet when I so into the device, it doesn't show as having the updated version? Is there a different way of doing it or maybe a different file?
I'm not to sure about the troubles that may come about since your gf went with the 4.3 OTA but If I am not mistaken it will need to be downgraded before you try doing anything else to it and if it is not showing that you updated your bootloader on your phone I recommend grabbing the App called Root Checker to double check then look for another file, tho unless it failed it should have updated it or messed up your phone one.

Missing data after 4.4 update

Please help. My wife did the 4.4 kit kat update on her note 8 5110. Update seems to finish fine but now all her data is gone. It looks like the internal SD card is cleaned. However, I see that under storage, it says that only 1.2 gb is free so it seems that the data is still there but not mounted. I tried to root the tablet using CF root method but every time I go into the tablet, it says that SU has stopped. I install Philz CMW to try to fix root but that did not work either.
Hopefully someone is able to help me. I was hoping to be able to root and go searching for the files but no such luck. I am not too familiar with adb commands but if someone can point me in the right direction to be able to copy her personal files out and move them to the new location on the tablet. Thank you.

Please help. My wife did the 4.4 kit kat update on her note 8 5110. Update seems to finish fine but now all her data is gone. It looks like the internal SD card is cleaned. However, I see that under storage, it says that only 1.2 gb is free so it seems that the data is still there but not mounted. I tried to root the tablet using CF root method but every time I go into the tablet, it says that SU has stopped. I install Philz CMW to try to fix root but that did not work either.
Hopefully someone is able to help me. I was hoping to be able to root and go searching for the files but no such luck. I am not too familiar with adb commands but if someone can point me in the right direction to be able to copy her personal files out and move them to the new location on the tablet. Thank you.

Are you letting recovery flash SuperSU for you? If so, I suggest that you try flashing the installable zip file in recovery from this page instead.

Thanks for the reply ramjet. I've tried both CF-Auto-Root and just letting recovery try to fix it. I've tried flashing the file you suggested and it still did not work.

Hmmm...
Did you test for root with Root Checker? I don't understand how you could have done all that and still not be rooted.
Since you have a working recovery you might want to try backing up all your partitions to the SD card, removing the SD card, and flashing the 4.4.2 update with Odin. Then try the CF-Auto-Root again and if that completes successfully you can flash your custom recovery, insert the SD card, restore the data partition from the backup and look for the missing data.

Can you point me to an odin package for the 4.4? I tried searching on google and it points me to sammobile.com. Looks like you have to pay to download. It tried reflashing the cmw package with my sd card and it keeps failing. Not enough space.
I am ready at this point to wipe out everything start clean on the tablet.
Thanks.

It is sammobile.com but you don't have to pay.
Assuming you have a GT-N5110 the firmware you need is here, including instructions on how to install it.

Thanks for your help ramjet. I made an account and downloading. I'll try it out and hopefully it clears my issues.
Do the files not show with My Files, or Solid Explorer, or even plugging it into a PC?

No luck at all. I ended up formatting everything to clean the card then odin the official 4.4 update. Wife only had pictures (sync to dropbox) and audiobooks on there. Still could not get root. I was not able to flash any 4.4 rom either.
Guess I am going back to 4.2.2. That version rooted fine and I have a Titanium backup of her tablet before updating to 4.4. Hopefully everything is okay after 4.2.2.

I need a stock rom

So I was able to lean how to root my phone. The I decided I would load a custom rom that I got from one of the rom tools that was suggested here. I loaded it, it got stuck on the loading screen. So I tired to use philz to do a recover and it says there is nothing to recover. every stock rom I get on this form will not load. the only option I have is to load the zip file to my sd card and then try to load it from the sd card. so now what? right now im completely out of a phone

i was quite tired last night and wanted to put more info in the post here on what i did. So this custome Rom I cant remeber the name of it but it had to do with the little android dressed up as a viking, i got as a recommentdation from the applicatio cybermoid or something to that nature. So when it attempted to load the rom it when to the boot up screen and just sat there, So i figure I would do one of the clock work mods recoverys that I had on my sd card and it failed to load. So at one point Philz asked me if i wanted to wipe the current rom and replace it with a new one. So i said yes figring that I could load the stock rom and it said that loaded. So last night I stayed up and tried to load 3 different roms and they all failed to load. Im wondering an this point if there is anything that can be loaded. I do remeber at one point it came up with a screen that said oden mode and said voided warrenty. i dont have a warrenty so i disregarded that. I will try the rom that you have suggesst tonight, I really hope that I can get some type of ROM on there. Beacase right now it just goes to the galaxy note 2 screen and sticks there.
Is there a manual key sequence or command line that can be run for my skipsoft tool kit that i used to root it to automatically turn on the us debugging? Also remember seeing a message that states that the root was removed. I think in in a hot pile of dog poop and this point, Any other suggestion if that rom doesnt load???
Thanks

How do you check to see if the modem is wipped?? i know it cleared off both the sd and sd1
If you did just the rom might have it in there if not just download and flash it its just like flashing a rom and its ok if you wiped both just download the rom put it on your sd1 and flash it in recovery I use philz

Ok so drop the ROM on the SD card, obviously plug it in go to recovery mode via the volume up/home/power key then selected it SD card and it sould load automatically. This is going to sound stupid but the ROM has to be zipped on the SD and not unzipped correct? If I get a error meaage I will post it here. I will probley be doing this around 5 pm or 6 as I am at work at the moment.
Sorry to be such a newbie..lol rooting it was easy if and when I get back into it I will put the full name of the ROM that blew it up because I dont want to have anyone else to go through this.

Wipe everything but the sd1 and the modem
Flash the rom

And let me know what happens
did all that and it is just sitting on the Samsung galaxy note screen
so for this one http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_A...6-t0lteatt.zip it loaded it and then got suck on the main galaxy note 2 screen.
For http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_A...lteatt.zip.md5 it failed. Re Ran ]http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_A...6-t0lteatt.zip and worked but before I rebooted it it states at the top that the root is missing or broke. rebooted and still the same stuck on the samsung screen
Ok im goig to go with im screwed on this one as Ive been all over this form looking looking at how to fix this phone. the only thing I can get into is the philz and do a data reset/ wipe the dalvik cache and load the philz touch recovery then when I try to install any zips beyond that it fails so at this point I have no idea where I am going and if I am doing it properly. when trying to install the ODEN-UCUCNE 5 stock-no recovey zip it finds it, opens it and then fails.
so im pretty lost at this point either im not doing it right or the phone is bricked.. any other suggestion? I looks like im going to be buying a new phone

No do everything on the phone don't use Odin so in the recovery go to mounts and storage and
wipe the system, data, preload, cashe, boot, and sd card but not the sd1 (external sd) and reboot the recovery in power options and hit reboot recovery and hit no when it says something about supersu root process then when it reboots just hit install zip and find the rom you downloaded

ok so
1)factory data reset
2)wipe cache partition
3) go to advanced and wipe the dalvik cache
4) then I went to the sd card and installed the zip you gave me, it says install from the sd completed press any key to continue
5) when to power options and hit reboot to recovery
then it asks me if I want to restore the recovery settings from the card or no - I said yes
then it asks me if I want to apply the root from /system/xbix/su- I said no
it rebooted back to philz touch
now what??? I assume install rom zip..
what is the correct ROM download that I should use... ive downloaded so many if you can point me to the right link that would be steller
