Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 sm-t805 soft-bricked(?) - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
Sorry for my bad English, but I have to try.
I have a problem with my t805. I tried to install a custom rom on my tablet, but I did a mistake in TWRP. I managed to delete everything and now its stuck with the Samsung logo.
The only thing I can do is to put it in Download-mode. I have all the drivers necessary for this to work on my computer. Tried to flash twrp and stock recovery with Odin, but it get stucked with "setup connection" every time. I have tried to use different computers, different usb-cables, usb 2.0, usb 3.0 and it still wont work. Odin marks the tablet as added but nothing happens.
I have tried with windows 7 and 10, and none of them works. I have also tried a lot of different versions of Odin.
I have been searching around on xda and on google with no luck. Does anyone have an idea of what I can try next?

I forgot to mention that. I have the drivers needed. Not Kies, but the Samsung-usb drivers.

Well first of all you can't have wiped twrp, so that will still be there. Just boot to recovery and restore your backup.
If you haven't got one (tut tut) then first put the tablet in DOWNLOAD mode then put the stock firmware md5 in the AP slot and flash.

How did you try to flash with odin?
Haha!
The mistake was at the last option of thr AROMA.
You rebooted and you fully wiped everything.
Flash a new ROM using your recovery.
^^^ If that's the case, then yea just download any rom for now and flash via recovery
ok i managed to fix it. lol i thought my n7100 is bricked for life. i was shaking for an hour there. lol

[Q] HELP! I cannot boot or enter Recovery

Ok so today I tried to flash TWRP on my Note II today through the GooManager app from the Play Store, it went well and then asked to reboot. After the reboot it is stuck on the SAMSUNG Galaxy Note II screen in all white, with a black background. I know I should try to flash the stock firmware with Odin but when in download mode (which it can enter but not the Recovery or OS) it is not detected. I have tried on a Windows XP, Vista and 7 computer with no luck on each. I have downloaded Heimdall for my Mac and again it is not detected. I have read that there could be an eMMC problem or something like that but I was working just fine like two minutes ago. Again it will not boot into either the Recovery or OS after sitting there for minutes, I can upload a photo if need be but I dont think its that hard to imagine. Oh I was on OmniRom the release the one before the one released yesterday with CWM. I wanted to update but since i was on CWM i needed to flash TWRP and it was not downloading for whatever reason so i went with the app method, which has worked before on my Xperia X10 so i was semi confident, anyway I'm rambling now... Again if anyone would be able o help me I will buy you a beer! wait I can't I'm underage, well when I turn 21 I'll buy you a beer!
Thanks!

Your phone was on OMNI ROM with CWM recovery, you installed TWRP via goo manager and since then it's not booting up, right ?
I think the easiest option now is to flash stock via ODIN. Did you ever connect your phone using USB ?
Are you trying with the cable that came along with this phone ? I know samsung drivers can get messy, try installing KIES it will automatically install the appropriate drivers, then exit KIES and start odin with Admin right(right click-> Run as Administrator).
If you have a full back-up and if Odin works try flashing CWM first via ODIN and the reboot in to recovery and restore your backup.

I tried installing Kies, closing it with Task Manager and then using both Odin v3.07 and v1.8.5. With both they never detected my phone, and in Heimdall it still does not recognize my phone. And yes that is exactly what happened.
Oh and Windows finally said something and it said that the usb device connected cannot be recognized...
Sorry fixed it!
Yeah so... The USB cable I was using was broken or whatever so I changed it and yeah its detected, thanks anyway!
Glad to know it's fixed.

[Q] CM11 Failed to Flash Using TWRP, Stuck on Samsung Logo

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to give you a few details before I get into where I'm at now.
I decided for the first time to root and flash CM11 on my Samsung Galaxy S4 and everything went flawlessly so I wanted to try it on my S3 T999. I had a lot of trouble this time around every step of the way. I tried using CM's installer that they have but every time I would switch the USB mode from MTP to PTP using the CM OneClick app, my phone would no longer get recognized AT ALL through my computer, so I factory reset it through Samsung's settings and decided to just do it using ODIN and a guide here help me along.
So I started over and followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563955 this guide. Downloaded ODIN, I downloaded TWRP v2.5.0.0 because it states the dt2mo users might have problems with 2.6+. Followed the rest of the guide, everything went well. Then I downloaded cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3-d2tmo.zip and Gapps for CM 11.
Currently:
Booted into recovery, backed up to my SD card, did a factory reset, then went to install the above snapshot. It failed saying error executing updater binary in zip. I tried to restore my backup I just made and rebooted and it just sits at the Samsung logo. Not sure where to go from here. Someone in another thread mentioned to flash the latest twrp using ODIN but I tried to connect to ODIN when in download mode and the S3 doesn't get recognized.
EDIT: Two more things. I did an Advanced Wipe once. Dalvik Cache, System, Data, and Cache. And After failing to flash, when I try to reboot, TWRP states I lost root and asking if I wanted it back...
follow the instructions in this thread and flash the root 66(pre-rooted firmware) firmware for your T999:

I'm currently downloading root 66 for T999 but I have tried to connect through ODIN before and it is no longer recognizing my phone. Nothing happens. I had this problem all day yesterday after messing with the usb connections that I mentioned in my first post.
EDIT!:
It seems as though already having connected the phone to the computer and THEN booting into download mode recognized the phone and started downloading the drivers.

also i presume that you're using the stock\original Samsung USB cable that came with the S3?

Thank you for linking me to that firmware! That worked, I'm back up and running 4.3. I would still like to be able to flash CM11 but I don't know what I did wrong. Should I have went with the latest TWRP or used something else?

not a problem. personally, i like TWRP, especially since it installs automatically when you download the GooManager app

[Q] Phone really seems to be bricked

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help, but I'm not too optimistic. I have a SGH-M919 (T-Mobile Galaxy S4) that had a tripped KNOX bootloader and I had been installing custom ROMs on it. I wanted to ODIN back to stock, but it has caused all kinds of problems.
I was using ODIN v3.09 to ODIN the NB4 complete .tar file from Sammobile under the "AP" section with only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked. It got what looked like about 95% complete and then showed FAILED. It gets to a point where it will say:
"Complete(Write) operation failed"
Upon rebooting, the phone says "Firmware upgrade ecountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
The phone will go into Download mode still but it will not go into Recovery mode.
After the above combination failed, I've tried using ODIN v.3.07 and v1.85, different official and unofficial firmwares (NB4, MK2, Fenny's NB4), tried various USB ports on my computer, and even tried another computer. Each time ODIN fails, and sometimes much earlier in the process.
I also tried installing using Kies after all of the above failed, but Kies will not recognize the phone at all.
Is it dead, or does anyone know of something else I can try? Upon my searching, most recommendations to "brick" problems seems to just be to ODIN like I did above =/.
Thank you for any help!
Have you tried flashing recovery and then booting right away to it?

I was able to flash a recovery, which is good news. The one I had on hand was Philz, which I could go straight into. Now I have a problem with /data not being able to mount, and no ROM I install from recovery seems to boot, even a full nandroid backup... Any ideas from there?
UPDATE: I flashed TWRP 2.5.0.2 and was able to format /Data, reinstalled a ROM, and it booted!! Thanks so much!!

ive read forums and trying different things for 6+ hours and was having no luck.
i read that someone took it to a best buy where they have a samsung kiosk because they can reflash the firmware.
i took it there but they were unable to reflash it.
they had the same problems i was having.
i literally just tried odin again and it worked.
i think mayb them hooking it up to their computer did something to it which then allowed me to get it to work.
if that doesnt work you can also send it back to samsung to have it reflashed,
both are FREE of charge. ( most people dont know that.
best of luck to you.
Hey sorry, have been swamped with work. Did you ever get it working or still need help?
Using ODIN to flash a complete ROM would always fail, bit have you tried flashing just TWRP recovery? For me that worked, and from there I could reformat the /data folder, and flash a new ROM in recovery. Never was able to use Odin for a full ROM but that method was good enough.

Softbrick Note 3 Neo 7505 Ltd - I really need your help

Hello,
I tried to root this device with cf-autoroot and Odin 3.07 yesterday. But it just didn't do anything. After felt 20mins I cancled the process with no good result :/
Now I'm getting the message:
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again."
-I tried it via Kies, but it needs some code I don't have.
-I downloaded stock Rom 4.4.2 and flashed it via Odin 3.09 but no success.
Odin just won't let me flash anything. I don't know why.
-While flashing Kies is off, drivers are installed (it's Added! In Odin) and it's not the first time I'm doing this. I have no idea. I tried different usb-ports. No success. First time I face this problem.
Now I read about Pit file, but I have no clue.
Every help is much appreciated.
Thank you so much

I guess the code is under your battery
Okaay. I will give it a try. Next time! The problems solution was to flash a custom recovery first.

The latest FW in Sammobile starting from Hungary till Bulgary they fail at hidden file in Odin, you need to flash custom recovery to solve that issue....
@Muhammad Rihawi, Also having the same problem. Somehow, i thought the solution ws flashing a pit file... Let us know if flashing a custom recovery sorts out the problem for ya..

Yes Pit file will solve it but we don't have it...
you can flash root or custom recovery, either of both will work.
From two days i just flash bulgari FW then chanfire Root via odin and its works

I don't get it, after flashing the stock Firmware, which failed at hidden. The status bar on the phone stopped and seemed to freeze... I flashed the cf-auto root but it failed... then removed the battery, rebooted into download mode and reflashed the cf-auto root then in odin i saw passed but when the phone rebooted, it was stuck on the bootscreen. After waiting endlessly, removed the battery and tried to enter the recovery mode but it simply wouldnt go there.... Did i miss anything???
