[GSM] Unable to flash anything or let any changes to the memory stick.

Ok, so apparently I wrote a huge post and it disappeared because I got logged off.
I posted another long version here.
In short my phone froze while updating and connected to my pc. Pulled everything and now it keeps rebooting. Probably storage related (see link above). No change I made stays after a reboot, app uninstall, file deletion (through root explorer or windows). And here is the thing, I can flash whatever, but it won't do anything.
I tried manual flashing the stock image, it does its thing and then reboots in the same situation.
I tried flashing the individual images using this guide, didn't work.
I tried flashing the stock image using the Galaxy Nexus Toolbox, once again, nothing.
I tried ODIN using:
This guide
And this guide
I even tried creating my own odin file using this guide and one using this guide.
Odin will do stuff for about 25 to 30 minutes. It will then reboot the phone with no changes made. At this point odin will have a square saying RESET!. So after rebooting I check if it will still freeze and reboot by going to settings -> apps. It will freeze and reboot. Pull battery, go into download mode, odin will do some stuff and claim it passed by saying PASS!.

I don't know what to do anymore. Besides get some sleep. Tomorrow I will see if I can get odin to dump some logfiles or something.

Uh, what you said is kinda impossible...
Linux permissions revolve around a 0-1000 scale. Root being 0, and no access being 1000.
Odin uses root privilages, and so does CWM/TWRP.
Anyways, I'd just replace the phone.
You most likely corrupted your internal storage, which is near impossible to fix.
Or you screwed up multiple partitions in just the right way where it'll work, but it wont either.

What is impossible? That nothing seems to work? Because it sure as hell isn't working.
I did find a way to get zip files on my phone using the toolbox, but flashing cm9.1 didn't work.
I do indeed think my memory is corrupted.

No it is not corrupted. I don't think. I think the permission has been messed up... when you're flashing a Rom, does it give you an error, or does it flash successfully? If successfully, the permission is messed up and you need to figure out how to change the permission using adb, which can be used when in recovery mode. Sadly, I don't know much about permission changing, do this is as far as I could help
Good luck, and I hope you fix your phone

I just tried flashing through cwm again using the temporarily boot from the toolkit. It says:
HTML:
Installing /sdcard/[...].zip
finding update package
opening update package
installing update
fixing fs_size in crypto footer
install from sdcard complete.
And it installed in maybe five seconds.
The crypto thingy has me worried, it's not normal, is it?

Also, I just tried creating a backup with cwm and it said there was an error making a back up image of /system.

One last bump.

Well, I hate to say it, but I think it's a hardware issue. I've seen a few others with the same issue: flashing images seems to work successfully, but they actually didn't flash.
So, just to confirm, you tried flashing the images individually in fastboot and it says "OK" after each one, but nothing ends up being flashed. Is that correct?

I was afraid this would be the case. Still weird though how it happened while it was sitting on my desk while connected throught usb.
Anyway, I will be returning it tomorrow.

[Q] Bricked and tips aren't working so far. Help, please!

Well, dang... I've tried everything I can think of and am stuck. If any of you have suggestions, I'll be forever in your debt.
So I was trying out a few ROMS on my I747. The last working one I had was LiquidSmooth Android (v2.1 I believe) but it was rebooting on me more often than I'd like, so I tried booting into TWRP to restore my last Nandroid of the rooted stock ROM I had been running fine. I know that Nandroid backup was a good one because I have restored it before. So anyway, I boot into TWRP and suddenly TWRP asks me for a password, which it has never done before. It almost looked like TWRP thought my device was encrypted, which it wasn't. But then when I hit "cancel" and tried to use the TWRP Factory Reset wipe, all of the attempts to mount the partitions failed! So I decided to let TWRP reboot the device, thinking something weird was going on with TWRP that would be fixed the next time I loaded it (DOH!) and I've been hosed ever since.
I am in a stange position with my I747 now. The OS won't boot at all. It forces the phone to try to boot into recovery, which is the latest TWRP. Unfortunately that just hangs at the "teamwin" screen and never goes on. First thing I decided to try was to flash a fresh TWRP thinking my TWRP had gotten mucked up. When got the latest TWRP tar from your Toolkit "recovery" folder (I am a donator from a day or two ago) it looked like it successfully flashed the TWRP to the phone, although I'm a bit worried maybe I don't understand Odin's output. Here is what it shows when I flash the TWRP:

The phone reboots like the re-write of TWRP was successful, but then it just hangs at the "teamwin" screen again. So then I thought I'd try flashing CWM instead.. The output from ODIN looks basically the same, but when I reboot into recovery I again am stuck at the "teamwin" screen from TWRP! WTH?
Why am I still seeing the "teamwin" screen if I just flashed CWM and Odin says it succeeded? I'm guessing it has something to do with the "RQT CLOSE !!" line in the log above. Is that actually a failure message that I thought was a success message? It isn't real clear..
So then my last fall back was just to flash the whole stock ROM again. Sadly, that didn't seem to work either. It actually gives me a WRITE (Fail!) message. Here is the output of Odin when trying to write the stock ROM to the phone in Download mode. I'm trying to flash the files called "I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar.md5".

As you can see, the MD5 checks passed with no problems, but the actual writing of the code to the NAND fails immediately. At this point I have no idea what to try next.
And for the record, I also tried flashing back the original boot image from your Toolkit called "boot-stock-dlk3-SGHI747.tar". Here is what I get when I try to flash that with Odin.

Any suggestions anyone might have for what to do next would be most appreciated. Sadly, this is my only phone, and my employer pays for it. I need to get it up and running as soon as I can, if it is possible. Probably shouldn't have been messing with it in the first place, but I'm a tinkerer at heart.. What can I say?
Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks for any tips any of you can share!!

Flash a rooted stock Rom and reinstall recovery. I would recommend using root66 rooted stock by mr. Robinson.

Or rooted stock...I have had luck in the past going to pure stock and starting over. When your restored use the beginners guide to rooting in the general section. Once root is achieved....use the goo.im app to install most current version of TWRP.

Sorry for not being more clear.. I was using the various tar files, and the Odin exe file from the Toolkit, but I was using them on their own. I would go into the Toolkit install folder and crank of Odin binary by itself, outside of the other tools..
And when I tried flashing a Stock ROM, it would give me the "WRITE (FAIL!)" error.. When I tried re-flashing any recovery, CWM or TWRP, it would say success but when I booted into recovery it would always be TWRP and it would always freeze at the "teamwin" screen and never get past it.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

If you read my post again you will see that I have tried both flashing a stock ROM (non-rooted, got a WRITE error) and flashing a recovery (seems to be successful, but doesn't actually change the recovery on my phone), and neither seem to be working.
Is there any way you guys know of to get passed the messages I'm seeing in ODIN?
Thanks! Much appreciate you guys taking the time to respond!

I would bet it is a case of goofy android device hijinks. If you have another cord use that (this has worked for me in the past). Use that tutorial I linked and see if you can get it back to stock stock stock.

You are right and I don't mind going back to stock ROM at all. I downloaded the stock ROM and tried to flash it with ODIN directly. As you will see in my original post, I got a message from ODIN saying the NAND write had failed.. No idea why! That is why I'm stuck and not sure what to try next.
I have a good Nandroid backup that I could restore if I just had access to TWRP, but it seems hosed up and won't get past the "teamwin" screen, but when I try to reflash TWRP, or CWM Recovery for that matter, it looks like ODIN says it was successful but I always end up stuck right back at that teamwin screen. Even after I just flashed CWM Recovery!! So something isn't right.
Any other ideas?

I don't think you are going to get back in to the recovery. Pull the battery and sim. Let it sit for a while. Did you go and download the tar from link I provided? It could be that the one you have is corrupted. I dunno. Good news is you are not bricked, just soft bricked. We just need the right combo to get it back into the os. It sounds stupid but try another USB cable if you have one.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

I have tried multiple USB cables but that didn't help. The tutorial you linked was actually what I was reading last night to try to fix this myself without bothering anyone here. Unfortunately I get down to step 11 and that is where the problem happens. Odin gives me the output in my oringinal message and tells me the stock ROM could not be written to the NAND. That is why I'm stuck. If you look at my original post, it is in the second quote of ODIN output, and it says:
Code:
<ID:0/007> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/007> FAIL! (Write)
I always thought if I could get back to download mode, I'd be able to recover, but unless I can figure out why ODIN can't write the stock ROM to my NAND, I do not know what to try next..
Thanks! Any other ideas?

I did download the same Stock ROM referenced and that is what I've been trying to load. The TAR file seems fine because ODIN says it passes the MD5 checks before it tries to flash it. I have tried it after pulling the battery for a while. Will pull the SIM also, just in case..

For the record, here is a screenshot of what ODIN looks like when I try to flash the stock ROM..
I'm starting to wonder if I need to start using some of the other options in ODIN. Obviously need to understand what they do much better before I start trying things. I don't want to hard brick the device. At least I can still get into download mode at this point!
Any other suggestions? Thanks for the help!

Make sure you are using the stock usb cable that came with the phone. Most micro usb cables are 5 pin, whereas the GS3 has an 11 pin connector and usb cable.

Hmm.. That is interesting. I don't know if I have the original cable or not. Is there a marking on the original that will let me know. I have some many USB cables laying around from Blackberries and other devices, I'm not sure which one is which anymore..
I have successfully flashed stuff with these cables before.. Thoughts?

Unchecked auto reboot and f. Reset time. Let it sit. Then button combo into recovery.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

Any time I try to go into recovery I just hang at the TWRP startup screen that says "teamwin".. Even after ODIN tells me "success" on flashing CWM Recovery!! Obviously the flashing of recovery isn't really working even though ODIN is telling me it is a success.
I'm starting to think I have NAND corruption and need to repartition. Does anyone know where to find a STOCK ROM file that is safe to use with the ODIN repartition option?
Thanks!

Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

I have so many microUSB cables lying around here from various devices (BB 9800, Playbook, etc..) I don't know which one is the one that came with the GS3 anymore. Is there a way to tell?
That having been said, aren't they all the same as long as they were made for data sync and power?
And I'm not giving up, I'm just pretty sure I am suffering from what I see referred to in other threads as NAND Corruption. I think I might need to re-partition in order to get it resolved. But in order to do that, of course, I need a good PIT file for my device. Anyone know where I can find a PIT file that is made for this phone (SGH-I747)? I'm not worried about loosing any data. I have a good Nandroid I know I can recover with if I can just get TWRP working again..

[Q] noob who thinks he has .PIT trouble

Hi All,
I've searched through the forums for answers to my particular problem but haven't found anything that's worked bla bla bla... you guys go through a lot of this every day, don't you? I honestly have been scouring the web, looking for answers to my problem (I'm a member on other, unrelated forums and I know how annoying lazy noobs can be) but I only found a single response in a single thread that might be helpful (but I'll get back to that at the end).
Here's a brief history of my failure, followed by my problem:
1. Tried rooting with motochopper, it installed Superuser but SU didn't work properly (kept going off about updating binary but would always shoot back errors when I tried to update) and Rootchecker said phone wasn't rooted.
2. Tried rooting via Odin, I don't remember exactly what happened (it's been hours since this happened) but I ended up with a failure notice halfway through the download, I read somewhere to pull the battery so I did. Waited a minute, plugged it back in, now the phone won't boot (I get a "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" error), and it gives me the same error message if I try to boot to recovery mode, but I can still boot to download mode.
3. At this point, I figured I'd screwed the pooch and should flash the original, stock Samsung ROM back on to the phone and start from scratch. (I don't have a backup file but I've only had the phone for two days, I don't care if I lose personal data).
4. Downloaded the 1.6 GB stock ROM zip file.
5. Deleted temporary files, restarted computer, booted phone into download mode, opened Odin, loaded the ROM .tar file into the PDA slot of Odin (left all the Odin settings as they were).
6. Connected phone to computer, blue light from Odin (this means it added the device if I understand correctly).
7. Started Odin, download failed. Here's the transcript from Odin:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

Hi All,
I've searched through the forums for answers to my particular problem but haven't found anything that's worked bla bla bla... you guys go through a lot of this every day, don't you? I honestly have been scouring the web, looking for answers to my problem (I'm a member on other, unrelated forums and I know how annoying lazy noobs can be) but I only found a single response in a single thread that might be helpful (but I'll get back to that at the end).
Here's a brief history of my failure, followed by my problem:
1. Tried rooting with motochopper, it installed Superuser but SU didn't work properly (kept going off about updating binary but would always shoot back errors when I tried to update) and Rootchecker said phone wasn't rooted.
2. Tried rooting via Odin, I don't remember exactly what happened (it's been hours since this happened) but I ended up with a failure notice halfway through the download, I read somewhere to pull the battery so I did. Waited a minute, plugged it back in, now the phone won't boot (I get a "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" error), and it gives me the same error message if I try to boot to recovery mode, but I can still boot to download mode.
3. At this point, I figured I'd screwed the pooch and should flash the original, stock Samsung ROM back on to the phone and start from scratch. (I don't have a backup file but I've only had the phone for two days, I don't care if I lose personal data).
4. Downloaded the 1.6 GB stock ROM zip file.
5. Deleted temporary files, restarted computer, booted phone into download mode, opened Odin, loaded the ROM .tar file into the PDA slot of Odin (left all the Odin settings as they were).
6. Connected phone to computer, blue light from Odin (this means it added the device if I understand correctly).
7. Started Odin, download failed. Here's the transcript from Odin:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_M919UVUAMDL_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

Never flash a .pit file, it contains the partition information for your phone.
It is also a sure way to end up with a shiny brick.
You wrote an lot of specifics but you forgot to say if your phone can get into cwm or twrp recovery?
Do you have a cwm/twrp flashable custom rom zip file on your sdcard in your phone?
An other question have you recently flashed any AOSP/AOKP/CM/MIUI roms?
If you don't, download the wicked v3 custom rom from this forum for your M919 Tmobile S4 phone.
What happens if you do a full wipe in cwm/twrp recovery and afterwards flash a cwm/twrp flashable zip file custom rom?
Be sure to do a full wipe which includes Factory Reset, Wipe System, Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache before flashing.
If you do all these things there is a good chance your phone will work properly and then afterwards if you still want to
Odin flash the stock un-rooted firmware which you were trying to flash it most likely will be successful.
Good luck!

Sorry, I should have mentioned all of that...
As far as I know, I cannot enter into any type of recovery... the only thing that's working right now is download mode, no other button combinations work (volume up+home+on gives me the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" story, same with volume up+volume down+power). So I have no way of doing a wipe, unless there's something else I can do. Is there a way I can wipe the phone remotely, from my computer?
A couple other specifics that I should have mentioned in OP:
This phone is only five days old and has not be rooted or modded at all up until yesterday.
I've never put an SD card into the phone (though I have one handy, if there's something I need to do that requires one).

Vielen Dank, elesbb... I went to sammobile.com and started the download, but when I clicked through to the download server, it was the exact same file (from the exact same server) that I had just downloaded... So I have the sammobile file, I think the issue is that I need to wipe the phone before I flash it but I have no way of wiping it (that I am aware of).
Thank you both for your time and energy!

Restart your phone and computer. Try a different USB cable or usb port and see if odin will work. I've seen so many times problems because of a usb cable. And no, I wouldn't use a PIT file. Just the PDA tar.
Then you can use CF-Auto-Root to root or follow these instructions to root the MDL build.

Thanks, I haven't tried a different usb port... I'll try that when I get home. The USB cable I'm using is the brand new Samsung cable that came with the phone, I don't think it's the problem but I'll give it a try anyway.
Thanks!
Edit:
After some more digging, I think I might have NAND rw corruption issues (since I can boot into download mode but not into any kind of recovery/bootloader mode). I get this notion from reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458, which isn't for the GS4 but I figure it's probably a good diagnostic tool for both. In the thread, Phistachio says that reflashing the kernel (and if that fails, the bootloader) will fix the problem. Will this fix the problem for the GS4 as well?
At this point, I will try a different USB port and/or cable and if that fails, I'll try reflashing the kernel.
Does that sound good?

You make sure it wasn't a bad download? Check md5. I've had failed Odin's before. Just had to keep trying. I also unchecked "f reset time" when I flash. Also, try "wipe nand" option. I'd Google that first though.

This might be revealing my noobness a bit too much, but I'm not sure how to check md5 :/
I'll research the "wipe nand" option, might be worth a shot...
Is there anywhere I can download the stock SGH-M919 kernel?
Thanks again for all the help!

Why would you want to download the kernel?
The kernel is in the TAR file which you were trying to odin flash.
Best bet, try different cable, different usb port and it might even be a good idea if you go to the
Samsung USA website and download the latest usb drivers too.
If you do download the drivers, be sure to uninstall ALL samsung drivers, kies or any other Samsung
utility you have installed before installing the new samsung usb drivers.
I can tell you this for sure, if you cannot flash the stock firmware using Odin with your phone
you will need to take it to a Tmobile store and get it exchanged.
You should have no problem exchanging it since it's only 5 days old and you have not even
rooted it or flashed any custom firmwares to it.
Good luck!

Why would I want to download the kernel, you ask? I'll tell you why! Because I'm an Android infant and I have no idea what I'm doing!
It was because I was reading on an un-soft-brick how-to for a different phone and it mentioned flashing the kernel. But as you mentioned, it was completely unnecessary.
Last night, I made sure I was straight on the driver front (updated drivers, no Kies, etc.) and double checked the tar file I downloaded... the one thing I didn't do that I should have was plug my phone directly into my laptop; I only have one functioning USB port at the moment and it's occupied by a cooling fan. But the cooling fan has a USB port in it that I run my mouse through and it works fine, that's what I've had my phone plugged into during this whole process. Just plugged it directly into PC, ran Odin, worked flawlessly. I feel like an idiot for going through the fan, but the relief that came from seeing my S4 boot properly made up for it.
Thanks everyone for your help and attention, I know it's annoying getting inundated by greenhorns who need direction and I appreciate that you would be willing to help us get on our feet.
Thanks!

Glad everything is working great! It was probably just a bad flash through odin. They happen from time to time. I am also wondering now if the USB on the cooling fan didn't have enough juice to fully power the whole process?

Yeah, the USB was probably already busy powering the fan and didn't want any of my Odin nonsense.

[Q] Please help. simi-bricked galaxy s 2

Here is the background. I upgraded my s2 to a note2 and added an extra line for my son to keep the s2. they did not register the sim at the store. I had rooted and installed custom rom, so wanted to return to stock. I then odin'd a tar from here sampro.pl/firmware/android/samsung-sgh-t989/ which worked for a week(allowed me to log his apps acct etc). Today, the day of his birthday I called tmobile and activated the sim. I called my phone from the sg2 sucsessfully. I then turned it off and packaged it/ wrapped it. an hr later my son opened it and turned it on. it then boot looped on the tmobile splash with the blue loading bar. I reflashed with the latest. failed after a few files, mid flash. It now gives me a screen i have never seen before. It says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try agian." I have tried other firmwares from the site and 2 from the sticky threads here. it either fails after a few files or instantly giving the same error screen. I have odin recognising it. I cant get kies to connect but it does try. I have been using costom roms from the start and am well versed in the processes and this phone in perticular. Someone please save my boys birthday, and tell me I dont need to jtag it. I have been through the posts and cant find anything that works. The toolkit is having issues on my laptop so am limited to odin. I will have him all weekend so any help in the next 2 days would be most apreciated!!!!!
PS: I can hold vol down on power up to see my usual message of up to continue or down to reboot. up goes to the prediscribed error and down does not reboot. I got the toolkit to launch(forgot about admin) and it doesnt recognise any hardware. odin fails on all flashes. I am thinking it has to do with the recovery. i am going to try to flash a custom now.

This made me laugh a little as it sounds like what i tell my coworkers before my first cup of coffee. Followed by did you restart it? I am re downloading for the 3rd time to be sure. as i am waiting i tried to reflash the stock recovery that i had laying around. that brought me back the boot ani with the tmobile logo and blue loading bar. I reflashed an original os i had in my files from a long time ago and got the first error screen. i am now attempting to reflash the working recovery and then the latest dl of T989UVMC6_T989TMB_T989UVMC6_HOME.tar.md5. will update as soon as done. thank you very much for the response on a saterday and all. you rock for effort!!

uggg
So I have used old recovery and several stock roms to no avail. I have tried 5 different ones now. it all hangs for wayyy too long. I just did a fresh dl'd copy of latest from predefined site. Back to original message. I am now going to try canogen mod with custom rom. please add if you have any thoughts.
edit: Ps : I have been flashing phones for a while now so when i say way too long i mean atleast 45 to an hour, which is longer then any sucsesful flash I have done.
2nd edit: I sucsefully installed twrp. in mid dl of jedi mind trick rom to install.

Super Thanks!!!
At the least He now has a usable device. Even beter is the impact of seeing the effort to fix it. He now knows to use xda and the steps taken which is more valueable then the phone itself.

Accidentally wiped everything in TWRP, "no OS installed" - what are my options?

Accidentally wiped everything in TWRP, "no OS installed" - what are my options?
I rooted my tablet last night and everything went fine, and the next step way to install a custom ROM. So I was attempting to move my download of CleanROM onto my external SD...but I forgot that I have no external SD card! I went into TWRP and wiped internal storage thinking it would be there, and now I get a message saying "No OS Installed are you sure you want to reboot?" whenever i try to exit TWRP.
I am assuming my only option at this point would be to ODIN back to stock? If anyone could tell me exactly how to do this, step by step (and specifically which files I need & where to get them) it would be greatly appreciated because my tablet is a $600 paperweight at this point and I am not too familiar with ODIN.
I also read some things about using something called "ADB" to load a ROM onto the tablet, but again I am not familiar with this at all and I would need to know specifically how to do this. I tried to figure it out with Google but all the instructions seemed too device-specific.

Steps to follow :
1. Extract the attached odin 3.09.
2. Download your region rom from here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-P600 or if you are looking for US firmware then from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-P600&pcode=XAR#firmware.
3. Unzip your firmware.
4. Go into download mode by pressing power + volume down, then volume up.
5. Connect your phone to your PC/Laptop until the com port on the left hand side turns blue.
6. Place your extracted rom in the "AP" bar.
7. Hit "Start"
8. Wait till installation is complete .
You should be good to go .

Thank you so much. Before i go ahead and do this, could you clarify one thing for me? On the firmwares page, it does not specify which one would be for the WiFi, American version which is what I have. Do you know which one i should choose? It does not specify "2014" edition anywhere so i just want to make sure i pick the right one, thanks

The firmware for USA is Cellular South http://terafile.co/574648641665/P600UEUBMK1_P600XARBMK1_XAR.zip

I think a small couple of small files in "data/media", which holds mostly unimportant stuff, must not get deleted or it's bricktime. Like when i once formatted "data" on my old tablet.

I had this same problem, however I fixed it using adb sideload. You can install it from here. First go to advanced in TWRP and click the ADB option. Then you just need to open cmd, change your directory to where the ROM zip is, then write "adb sideload test.zip" where the quotes are removed and test is the name of your zip which should be something like "CleanROM-2.0-R2.zip"

Thanks for all the help. I was able to get back to stock using Odin and am now rooted running CleanROM. I'll be using that ADB info in the future for sure too.

Dealing with the same issue!
I did this too but this was my result. Note 4 Sprint.

It was be not Your model's firmware.
Try appropriate or exclude all except: bootloader, recovery, system & cache

Same thing is happening with me. How I can edit it ?
I tried Winzip and 7Zip but there are errors in Odin...

I'm facing a similar issue but my device is Moto G5s Plus.
The problem I'm facing is that I accidently wiped out the mobile's system completely, and now it does not even have an "internal storage" partition at all (since it shows 0 MB). Hence, I cannot even transfer any files to my mobile because my computer does show the phone detected but no "internal storage exists".
Please help me out..

If you have TWRP installed you may be able to flash a custom rom through OTG...
Otherwise you may be in the toilet...

I would try a different version of Odin Also make sure you have the correct tablet ROM, try getting yourself back to stock before other ROMS.

Yes, and run Odin as admin (I'm an active user)

Ty for replying.
I think I have the correct firmware file from sammobile. EUR-P600XXSDRI1-20190117145157.zip
I also noticed that the tablet says that there is no root. But I have trwp.

i accidentali wiped everything in TWRP ON MY REALME 3 PRO... now stuck in bootloader with twrp working.....
