Hi guys, I've just purchased a live demo unit off eBay and I'd like some guidance on flashing a normal stock rom so it becomes a standard wifi tab.
Is it just a case of booting into download mode and flashing a stock rom from sammobile ? I've read conflicting reports, one said do as above but another said I'd need a custom recovery like twrp to factory reset it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards steve
I doubt a demo unit has been rooted and changed rom. You probably just need to go to backup/restore in settings and reset to factory default.

So a simple boot to download mode and flash a stock firmware with odin?
To restore the factory defaults you don't need to boot in download mode.
Pull down the top menu, press the gear icon and open the general tab, there you find backup/restore, look at the bottom, there's restore factory defaults.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. This is a live demo unit for store use only, so I thought this option would be disabled to stop people in the shop from doing this? I'll certainly try your idea when the tab arrives. Cheers.
If anyone else has any input I'd appreciate all /any advice. I've had many tabs and flashed rom etc...but never a live demo unit and my desk isn't big enough for a 10.5" paper weight
As this is a demo unit I think you'll find you need to flash stock firmware.

I agree, but was thinking should I flash a stock kit kat rom 1st or can I jump straight to latest official lollipop build? Does it make any difference? Sorry for stupid questions but my experience with live demo units is zero. Any thoughts appreciated.

Makes no difference.
UPDATE
Hi guys I'd thought I'd update my progress and would appreciate some suggestions on way forward .
Ok I flashed the latest btu lollipop rom via odin, all went smoothly and tab is now usable......sort of!
No finger print reader....to be expected i guess .
Lots of random apps like crazy taxi etc I can't delete .
Most weird of all is no multitasking button ( left of home button) I mean it lights up when back capacitive button used but won't work/light up when pressed.
So I think I need to install custom rom? Can I use flashify to install twrp? And then from there install custom rom? Do I need to root? If so which way is easiest?
Any help appreciated, I'm really out of practice at this stuff.
Cheers steve
Edit I need root for flashify, which way s easiest to root?
Edit 2 something isn't right as factory reset is greyed out, so I NEED root? And flash a custom recovery?
I'd forgotten the fun I used to have doing this stuff

If you are going to install twrp and root then got to the development thread and install my all in one package or follow the link in my sig.

Last update. Thank you so very much ashyx. I flashed your all in one root and recovery, worked beautifully, I then booted to recovery and did a factory reset.
I now have a fully functional WiFi tab S WITH finger print scanner and working multi task button, best of all I picked this mint unit up for £135 and with your help I got there.
Cheers buddy . Steve
So the shortest way to have SM-T800 is to flash all in one package, right? Can you help me to find the correct 'how to' for that please? Sorry for the stupid question.
@ashyx : where are the installation files of your "all in one package" ?
I have samsung galaxy tab s t800x .This is the live demo unit.I need the files exactly for this ,which one I have to use.By the way which way I wil do a full (rom) backup before starting ?

If you want to convert to a retail unit just install my latest update of twrp 3.0.0-0 in the development section.
Factory reset in twrp then reboot to download and install the stock firmware.

Thanks in advance !!

That's what I mean by a retail unit.
A normal unit for regular use for retail sale not demo.
Just download your firmware from SamMobile and follow the steps in the previous post.
Delete retail files
Hey Ash thanks for the " all in one " it works sweetly...donated too thanks for your work in this area, so I have done everything and finished but looking at storage it tells me its 8gb but I thought these tabs where 16 or 32gb.
Do you know if there is a locked partition with the retail files protected ?

It should be.
Flash the PIT file along with the stock firmware this should give you back the correct partition size.

I need to restore a live demo unit back to factory defaults with all the live demo crap on it. Does anyone have a link to the stock T700x rom that comes with the live demo units?
A link would be greatly appreciated, thanks
Please give me more info on the tablet. Is it wifi variant?, what country did you get it at? I can get you a link if you tell me that stuff.
If you do a master reset, you can get the normal rom.
From there, it's just a matter of downloading and installing the Retail Mode app, which can be found on the Play Store by searching for "retailsamsung".
I believe the password for the Tab S as well as the Note 4 and S5 retail modes is 5444, but I could be wrong on that.

Seeing as this thread still has some life in it... I'm trying to help a friend get a T700 out of demo mode, do you remember how you did it with your? I'm currently attempting to download the stock rom that matches what is on the tablet currently to re-flash it, but the download estimates are multiple hours long, so I was hoping that wasn't the only way out.
Never mind, I re-read the thread and you already said how you got it out. Looks like I'm waiting for a long download, hopefully this one doesn't die in the middle again.
Thanks

I suppose you flashed a ROM after you repartitioned your device.
Which one?
Also can you post screenshots to see what you mean?

I flashed the .pit file with official firmware from sammobile.com the flashed unofficial CM11 nightly.
I am unable to provide a screen shot of the actual device due to the live demo unit displaying at first startup. I have googled an image but of a different device to give you an idea.

I don't know about that, but I have read in the forum about Knox resetting about a procedure that a guy used to restore his soft bricked phone. He states that "I used the Samsung KIes emergency firmware recovery tool!".
If flashing the Stock ROM via Odin didn't do your thing perhaps the mentioned procedure will. The tricky part is that "... it wants you to report a few numbers under the battery". Perhaps it's the Serial Number which you can get without removing the battery.
Perhaps what applied to Knox resetting will apply to your issue too. Let me know how it goes.

Hello Folks,
Nice site you have here I've heard it said that hacking is the new avant garde.
I have a: Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. GT-I9195 4.2.2. I got it here new in Germany a month ago.
A week ago, I tried to install Lollipop and didn't really understand what I was doing. Something seems to have gone wrong.
Now when I switch the mobile on, the Galaxy Logo appears but also a little yellow text message: "Set Warranty Bit : kernel" at the top of the screen. After this the mobile does nothing except display this message.
As I understand it, I should have 'rooted' the mobile first before trying to flash Lollipop via Odin. Correct?
Also, as I now understand it, I should have placed Lollipop on the SD card before trying to flash the mobile with Lollipop. correct?
I'm totally new at this and would appreciate it if someone can help direct me towards getting the mobile working again? And if I could run a better version of software I'd be thrilled!
Kind regards...

Hi there, according to my understanding if you have bought the phone recently, the stock version should have been 4.4.2. But anyways, u cannot flash Lollipop via odin. U need a custom recovery like cwm or TWRP for that. Not sure about the "set warranty bit" thing. May be KNOX has been tripped.At this moment i would suggest you to download a fresh firmware, from SAMMOBILE, to your to PC. Then flash it via ODIN. Thanks.

Hello Matesurano! Thank you for your help!
Hi there, according to my understanding if you have bought the phone recently, the stock version should have been 4.4.2.
- Yes you are correct. It's is actually 4.4.2
But anyways, u cannot flash Lollipop via odin. U need a custom recovery like cwm or TWRP for that.
- Thank you for this info. I was not aware that this was the procedure. I will somehow look into this method.
May be KNOX has been tripped
- Yes, I believe that Knox has been tripped. Mobile screen reads:
ODIN MODE

CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

Using Odin I've tried to flash these files but had no luck in getting the mobile to boot up and work.

If somebody knows how to get this phone running I would be so happy!

Check the file names of the rom you are trying to flash via Odin as they do not match your phone model. You are flashing the wrong version of firmware by the looks of it

To this moment there is no official lollipop firmware for the galaxy s4 mini, however you can always use something else like cyanogenmod (i personalidade dont like it).
Here is a download link for KitKat official release.

Good morning Yilun,
Thank you for your help and your suggestion at SamMobile
When I check that link you gave I see that it is a UK firmware. I am in Germany and see that a 'Germany (E-Plus)' firmware is available for download and since that is the carrier my mobile is from I will go with that one. I hope it will work!
I will not be able to have access to a Windows computer until Friday but will try to flash the mobile then and report back my success.
RuffBuster, I appreciate you trying to help but if you can do give more info next time in the way that Yilun has then that would be more beneficial to the people you are trying to help. some extra direction can go a long way.

To much effort for people who do to little reading... you shouldn't attempt any kind of flashing without doing the appropriate research. I spent weeks researching before I did anything with my phone.
And 2 seconds with Google you would have found this website. "Samsung firmware" and voilà the first search result.
Next time don't be lame and tell me what I "should" of done. Just be thankful I answered at all...
RuffBuster, Your answer contained no useful info. If you are not able to actually elaborate on the help you think you are giving then you are not actually helping anyone. Seems like you just want to give half answers to stroke your ego and collect posting points or something. Tell you what though, how about you do yourself a favour and go outside, there is a whole world beyond your phone. Feel free to write something childish back, I promise won't read it.

WHATS THIS?
This is my port of CF-AUTOROOT for the Samsung Galaxy TAB E.
You flash this at your own risk. Please ensure you have the stock ROM to hand downloaded from SAMMOBILE or a TWRP backup in case of problems. This will trip the knox counter.
Flash with ODIN 3.10.7 in the AP slot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
cfautoroot_sm-t377p.tar
cfautoroot_sm-t560nu.tar
NOTE: ON SOME 5.1.1 DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.
STOCK TWRP IMAGE FOR SM-T377P
This is a link to the stock system, boot, modem image for the T377P in case anyone needs it. Needs to be restored with twrp.

That was my plan ...however they do not support this model number yet so its not available to be reflashed. I checked sammobile as well figuring I could download firmware and use Odin to reflash and same situation.
There's a chance the sm-t377R4 firmware may flash as it's practically identical to the sprint firmware just a different csc.
Okay....will try and find that one.
Hi, I had a question. The Samsung Tab E is my first android device (I am a IOS user, so i know how to Jailbreak, but I don't know how to root!). My friend told me to root it, but I don't really know how to do it. Can you post a step by step tutorial. Also, after i rooted can i update my device to a newer version or do i have to remove the root. Lastly, how do you back up your device? Thank you! I appreciate your hard work!

You can follow the tutorial below, it's for the Tab A but the procedure is identical.
Obviously don't use the cf_autoroot file in the tutorial use the one here. Also note the PDA button in Odin is now called AP.

You can update your device with odin anytime you want but not via ota.
To back up you device you need to install TWRP.
Search Google for info on using TWRP.

Surprised recovery doesn't work, considering the 2 devices are identical specs.
Try installing Twrp, you'll probably find that works OK.

What's the issue?
Rooting gone bad... Rooted my SM-T377P with KingRoot and there is an FRP Lock that comes up a week later. All of the custom ROM versions I have keep getting rejected by ODIN every time I try to flash them. The only other way I can think of doing this is to flash the stock ROM for the device.

You realise you can't flash a custom rom with odin?
Also when you flash the stock t377r4 firmware what part fails?
The aboot fails every time I try to flash it
Enjoy full stock AT&T Odin with last April security :
Download N920AUCS4EQD1
thanks for upload ! i'm not in US this is the only way i can upgrade my phone !
in the US but now a cricket-eer. Thanks for the file.
I can't wait to try this when I get home tonight.
The 1.99GB file size is so intimidating as though this one is REALLY packed with extra AT&T bloatware
I'm rocking nougat and I love it...but i want the latest security patch outside the US...i had to sideload to get to nougat...
Is there a way I can use VPN to enable my phone get updates outside the US?

I think you flash PIT file with it? If you did just go to recovery and factory reset and your memory should be back.

Yes, it works. I have just updated my N920A from C6 to D1. Don't forget to backup your data first.
:highfive:

thanks!, last time i did adb sideload (C6 to D1) and i got problems wich home and power button, auto press / autoclick it Without having pressed, i think can be google screenseach new function which hijacks the home button and when it is not turned on it does not return to the normal state of the phone
*i solved temporaly doing restore device form options menu, but it reappears from time to time without having pressed, Fixed if you do not configure or start googleseachapp (temporaly)
*Now downloading file and coming soon installing from odin an odin fresh installation from last version is better than doing adb sideload from B2 or older

Downloading this through Odin - would that be considered tampering? - I have had 7.0 on a sprint note 5 and I loved it. I now have an AT&T note 5 on cricket and I have to wait for cricket to come out with the update ... zzz .... does samsung s health and pay still work after flashing through Odin? I'm only using this phone until the new note phones come out, so I don't want to mess up selling this phone by downloading through Odin. - thanks in advance.

Everything's works. This is AT&T 100% sigh stock firmware.

OK just to be clear - making sure before I download this since with 7.0 there's no going back - This doesn't trip Knox or Samsung? I don't want to mess anything up just want 7.0 now instead of waiting months or so for the update through cricket. Thanks in advance. Also, I seen a post say this is just a partial/half of 7.0 is that fixed or us this still just half of the 7.0 upgrade?
can someone make a google drive mirror? because I have 1gb limit in mega

No. This is an official ROM with matching modem bootloader, and recovery. It will not trip Knox.
ok last question - is this the full 7.0 now? I see the title says full but there was a post saying this was just partial of the update.
Yes, this is the FULL 7.0
hello.
im a newbie to samsung and odin although i have had success with other samsung phones and odin a while back and after reading tons of info this is where i am at :: (i know the nougat file isnt the same but im guess the procedure is the same) . i read that updating via odin you can jump basebands, however im guessing that is not true. my baseband ends en 3BPH4
i downloaded >> Nougat_N920AUCU4EQC6_Odin_Files.zip (2.0G) <<
from here https://www.androidsage.com/2017/03...ndroid-7-0-nougat-ota-n920aucu4eqc6-download/
fyi >> im using virutalbox windows 7 and odin to try to do this <<
after i unzip the files i get four tar files
AP_N920AUCU4EQC6_CL10809541_QB12921033_REV00_user_ lo w_ship_meta.tar
CSC_ATT_N920AATT4EQC6_CL10809541_QB12921033_REV00_ use r_low_ship.tar
CP_N920AUCU4EQC6_CP6021124_CL10809541_QB12921033_R EV 00_user_low_ship.tar
BL_N920AUCU4EQC6_CL10809541_QB12921033_REV00_user_ lo w_ship.tar
i select each one as per requested slot in odin and then hit start and then odin crashes.
since that didnt work i opend the ap.xxx.tar.rar for the ap slot and hit start. there was some activity int he odin message box. firmware update start. single download..... and left it like that for over 30 minutes and there was no change. so i shut the phone off and restarted and nochange on the phone.
THEN i opened that ap.xxx.tar.rar file and saw that there was tar.md5 file inside. extracted and repeated the process and since i dont have a pda slot i choose to open under the ap slot.
so far same deal. odin message says NAND Write Start.
(im starting to believe that headers are not correct and doesnt want to follow through withe update)
if someone can guide me in the right direction or help where i went wrong. do i really have download 20gb of 10 updates for each step by step update to get to nougat and adb sideload?? cuz that is crazy. any help to get my note 5 lolipop to nougat is much appreciated.
also, if there is any knowledgeable buddy out there, since im on the 3BPH4 endind baseband is it rootable? (without loosing root when you reboot)
either way i dont care much about root but would definitely like tobe flashin roms etc, but as for now i just want to get to nougat
