I need to reinstall an OS into my GS T700 because I accidentally "wiped" the OS when I got stuck on the TWERP menu page. I'm currently downloading the original Kit Kat version of the OS and am wondering if that is the one I should install, or can I use the most up-to-date version "Lollipop". (That is assuming I can actually install anything when I seem to be stuck in TWERP forever.)
Thanks.
This is the wrong forum for your device. Use odin to flash your stock firmware and your back in business.

Hi, I have a galaxy s3 (SGH-i747M) with Telus and I would like to install cyanogenmod because touchwiz in a total bull****. Unfortunatly, my phone is «acting weird» and I can't install it.... I succeeded in rooting the phone, installing superSU and clockworkmod recovery but I can't flash the rom! When I want to flash it (cyanogenmod version stable 10.2.1....), I get the deadly error 7! I read that some people resolve this issue by updating their baseband, but I'm a little lost when it come to that.... I also tried to flash the rom with cyanogenmod installer, but even if the program said the install is a success, my phone encountered a unknown error and just reboot with a «clean» version of touchwiz. (This was not due to Knox, I desabled this crap when I install superSU.) Please, help me! (I softbrick my phone twice and hardbrick one previously, now he's ok but I don't want to trash it ...)
Here my phone info:
Android 4.3
Version baseband I747MVLUEND2
Kernel 3.0.31-2140838 [email protected] #1
Version number JSS15J.I747MLUEND2
I recommend flashing Philz Touch via Odin, boot into recovery, wipe, and flash a Kit kat custom ROM.
If you soft brick the phone again, you can use Odin to flash a pre-rooted ROM from XDA.
What recovery are you using? TWRP or Philz touch are your best options. make sure recovery is up to date.
Hello !
I installed the 5.1.1 AOSP rom to update my 5.0 rom (AOSP too) by my TWRP recovery. I wanted to next flash SuperSU, but when i try to enter in recovery mode, i got this : "Secure booting error : Boot certification verify". I tried to reinstall the recovery, but i need to be rooted, and for being rooted, i need to flash SuperSU, so i'm stuck.
I can use my tablet perfectly, but i can't get to the recovery.
Thank you for your help !
What variant of the the G Pad 8.3 are you using? VK810, V500, V510? You HAVE to find out how to root first because without root, you can't flash a custom recovery. I only know rooting details for the VK810 and I'm guessing you have the V510 (GPE - Google Play Edition) since you say you're on AOSP already. I'm sure if it's rootable there's a thread in these sections about it for your variant. When a device is rootable, there's always an initial way to get there without flashing SuperSU, except possibly for Samsung when you can flash ODIN-compatible repackaged custom recoveries.
I forgot to put it but i have a V500, i didn't had this problem when i installed 5.0 AOSP (firstly i had the LG stock ROM).
I saw that i can install TWRP with ADB, but it is for the GPE only :/
If you already had TWRP flashed then you've got some other problem going on. Maybe you have to downgrade the bootloader (aboot.img) in order to get into custom recovery on the V500? We do on the VK810. If that's the case then that means that somehow you had updated your bootloader since the last time you got into TWRP.
You might end up having to go back to square one, put whatever stock ROM on it that allows you to root it and install TWRP, ensure you can get into TWRP and the ROM fine, then flash whatever ROM you want. If the ROM you want doesn't already have root capability baked in, such as current CyanogenMod builds do, then make sure and flash SuperSU from TWRP before you exit out of custom recovery.
Does it no longer work? I've the correct drivers installed. I pulled the firmware straight from Sammobile. I flash through download mode, but after the restart, it just sits at "Samsung". That is with Kit Kat. With Lollipop firmware, I just get application and UI crashes on welcome screen.
You need to wipe data in recovery first.
This will solve both issues, the crash in lollipop and the downgrade to kitkat.

Well, all I've got available to me is download mode. So, I should try and get TWRP back onto it, wipe, then flash firmware via download mode? I'm coming from BlissPop, trying to bring it back to stock Kit Kat, so I can sell it. xD I tried flashing autoroot, but I don't think it works, as it only boots into download, not TWRP.
UPDATE: I totally forgot the device had it's only recovery with options. Lmao. Sorry. Thanks.
Hello everyone,
I have a TMO Note 3 running Lollipop at this moment, the phone is rooted, but I tried flashing a new ROM and it soft bricked on me. ODIN stopped at the very beginning of flashing and just bricked the phone. Also TWRP was not working either and still not, but I was able to bring the phone back from the semi-dead state it was in. I want to flash it again but now I don't know if I did something wrong (most likely) and I just need some feedback on what to do. I wanna go to a stock rom so i can upgrade to the actual Lollipop Rom from T-mobile but I was also wondering if I can just flash a stock 5.0 rom that runs better than the one I have. Additionally, I just cant get TWRP to stick at all; every time I try to flash it and try to go into recovery, phone goes into boot loop. Here are some screenshots of the current "about phone" section. I am sorry if i am not asking the right questions but I gotta start somewhere. Thanks everyone in advanced!

If you can get into download mode, flash the latest stock rom from Sammobile.com.

look for the samfirm tool, its faster then going through sammobile:good::highfive:
Hi all, every time I want to either install a custom rom or flash back a stock firmware it is an impossible task. Nothing works from the instructions to the firmware's themselves.
I've had a few custom firmware's on my tab s T705 tablet all of which are garbish and reboot themselves even when doing something simple like watching a video!
So wanted to flash back to stock firmware. However no matter what "stock" firmware you download for your model tablet even from reputable websites either the Samsung logo hangs at the start after a flash or twrp fails to flash a firmware.
Why is is so difficult to
a. Get hold of a stock rom
b. actually flash it and get it install!!!
Ive tried all sorts, wiped the entire tablet in twrp, used odin, used so called "stock" firmware, used and paid for skipsoft toolkit which I highly regret no as its utter usless doesn't do anything it states it does and their help section might as well not exist.
So I have a tab s with nothing on it and nothing that wants to install onto it.
What do I do? as so far its doing really nicely as a f**king paperweight.
That's really strange. I never had problem flashing the stock ROM from Odin on SM-T800.

Seriously mate, don't know what to do, nothing seems to work. No firmware seems genuine. How can I obtain an original firmware without signing up to sites or pay for a premium server to get the file?
Thanks
Currently I wiped the entire system via TWRP except the micro sd that has the firmware zip file on.
This is a recent log from twrp when trying to install a "stock" firmware. Hopefully someone can figure out what's going wrong
Problem fixed. Just kept trying different firmware roms online and found an original 4.4.2 that worked. just updating to 6.0.1 through Samsung updates now. And keeping the downloaded file safe and going to do a android backup dump from twrp once its done.
Thanks
how to mark this thread as resolved?
New issue. All I want to do now is just root the stock firmware to allow me to use certain apps. However every time I try a root either auto cf root, supersu, kingroot. All that happens after flashing the root is the Samsung logo boot loops saying recovery cant enforce in red and blue text.
Is knox preventing it because yet again my tablet does the opposite of what the instructions say.

Try reinstalling the stock firmware, and then install TWRP and get the zip package for SuperSU and install the zip package thru TWRP.
