I need help
I have two Attains. 1 is rooted and screwed. It says for "baseband: Unknown". Samsung simple upgrade doesn't recognize it and when I put it into recovery/download mode it say "ODIN" at the top. It won't come out of airplane mode. It has been rooted by the previous owner. I am trying to return it to it previous glory. I want to start fresh. The other is untouched. The factory ROM is still intact and the phone is fresh. How do I copy the factory data and restore the screwed phone.
Please, I am a noobi so let's play nice. I have rooted my admires previously. Both of them are fine. One I even updated and rooted with odin.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx in advance

u can use samsung kies to copy your. tar and. pit. from new phone and/OR other rom and then use oden to get the job done

Links fixed, also if anyone needs help please PM me and I will also post the solution I used here.

Constant Restart
Having problems here. It only constantly reboots itself.
After I flash the phone, it restarts into recovery mode. The first time I simply selected Reboot, and the second time, after another flash, I wiped it and restored it to factory defaults.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Q] Factory Reset Note II with Broken Digitizer

I broke the digitizer on my note 2, completely destroying any chance of ever being able to view the screen again. Also, I never set up my note II in android device manager to be able to erase it. I bought a new phone, have no desire to put a new digitizer in this phone, and want to sell it. What are my options?

Samsung dive you tried?

Unfortunately I didn't set up Samsung Dive on my phone either.

You could flash your existing rom (if you know which one you had) through odin.
Only thing you have to do 'blind' is bring device in download mode (with device off...volume down/home/power...wait a bit...volume up....hook to your computer and odin suppose to say 'added').
If you don't know which rom was on it, search sammobile for the latest one and flash it as described...make sure it is a full wipe rom (otherwise your data will stay). I think the roms on sammobile that have the orange Kies symbol next to it are non wipe, the ones with grayed Kies symbol are full wipe, but don't shoot me for that
Another solution to be sure of a full wipe rom is to find a similar one here on the forums and ask in the specific thread.

The phone wasn't flashed...

For 'flashing' a rom through Odin your device would not have to be flashed in the first place.
Flashing in this case just means putting the original firmware back on it.
If you don't know which firmware was on your device give Sammobile a try to find the latest firmware.

Sorry, I meant the phone was never even rooted...

In the following link at post 6 you can find emergency factory reset firmwares which also reset your SD card personal information etc. Unfortunately the links was at hotfile which is not working anymore, but I saw at same thread some users have uploaded them to other servers search the thread starting from last post to first and u will find the links. The thread has installation instructions via odin. After installing browse your SD card via pc at android/data to see if any data of your installed application exist, if not and are only the applications which coming with phone means that your phone reseted successfully
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915386
For flashing via pc odin you have to go blind as nirak wrote to u earlier for entering at download mode. Follow his instructions to enter download mode and after the instructions of the thread I gave u. Also u have to install first Samsung kies software for the drivers and after to enter at task manager at your pc and terminate all the processes of kies, 4 processes if I remember well because kies don't allows to flash via odin. You need it only for the drivers.

SPH-L520 NJ1 update question

I have obtained a Sprint s4 mini. From what I can find, the current kernel is SE secure enforcing.
The exact build number is KOT49H.L520_4.4.2_0016
Build date is Oct 7 2014
I am not new here, I know that all known root methods are now bust. What other options are there?
Searching seems to be pretty difficult for this device. All searches for bootloader and recovery come up for the i9190 / i9195
If I use Kies or Odin to flash a previous recovery image, will that brick the device? Also in the settings, it says Secure Boot Status - Type: Samsung
Guess that is referring to the Knox enforcing
The particular image I had in mind to flash with Odin is SPR-L520VPUAMK2-20131115204826
Will it work? Or am I screwed?

Well no one was able to answer my question, so I had to figure it out on my own. Hopefully the following information will be of help to someone else without spending 36+ hours digging through the internet for answers.
You CAN fix your phone it you are on the NJ1 kernel. This is NOT a guide to fixing a bricked phone, although it may fix that too.
If you are on the NJ1 kernel, there are no root methods currently available. You MUST be on NE3 or lower. I also attempted to flash the custom recovery through Odin, but after a reboot it was as if I did nothing. No Knox flag, no warranty trip, no custom recovery.
Here is what I did to get custom recovery and root:
READ THIS BEFORE ATTEMPTING STEP 1.
This is only for the Sprint variant of the S4 Mini. Model number SPH-L520
Your Warranty could be voided. Proceed if you like. (More info on steps 5 and 6)
I had a horrible time getting the downloads from Sammobile. You WILL have to create an account and login to download files. I could not find any working links for the firmware below except for this site. Register a user name and password, DO NOT UNCHECK THE BOX that says receive emails from Sammobile OR YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR REGISTRATION EMAIL. On the Register page it is at the bottom. After you register, check your email and click on the link to complete the registration.
Close all your windows that are open to sammobile.
You are going to want to download Internet Download Manager in order to download files from Sammobile. After many many attempts to download the firmware from Sammobile, all tries failed. YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IDM to get a reliable download.
Download IDM ---> https://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/download.html
Install it and follow these directions to enable resume downloads in IDM ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765456
If you do not do the steps above, you most likely will have failed download after failed download.
Even after setting this up, the firmware download failed on me twice. I deleted it from the download list in IDM and started it again.
IDM integrates well with Internet Explorer. Kinda buggy with Chrome. I would suggest using IE for the rest of this Tutorial.
Ok, now that you have that squared away, move on to step 1
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
1) Flash your phone back to NE3. You can get that here ---> http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/31482/L520VPUBNE3_L520SPTBNE3_SPR/ (click Regular Download, then on new page right-click Confirm Download and click SAVE AS. After that the IDM window should pop up. Just Start Download)
Also go ahead and download download the NJ1 in case things get rough. List of all firmwares here ---> http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SPH-L520/
2) Download and install the Samsung drivers ---> http://www.mediafire.com/download/a4hd8y0c1iakysk/Samsung-Usb-Driver-v1.5.49.0.exe
Download Odin 3.09 ---> http://androidhost.org/PVAIv
Unzip Odin to a folder or desktop. Do not run it from in the zip folder.
3) Run Odin 3.09.
Reboot your S4 Mini SPH-L520 into download mode. Turn phone off > Hold Volume Down, Home Button, and Power Button all at the same time. Wait for the phone to buzz and the pop up on the screen. Release the buttons and press Volume Up to confirm.
Now plug in your phone to your computer. It might take a few seconds for the drivers to install. Wait until Odin shows blue color in the first bar on the left side. Should say 0:[COM3] (the COM number will be different depending on your computer and the USB port you plugged it into)
VERY VERY IMPORTANT! Make sure that the AUTO-REBOOT and F. RESET TIME boxes ARE checked. Make sure that the RE-PARTITION box is NOT checked.
4) Unzip the NE3 download from earlier. Click on the AP button in Odin and navigate to where you unzipped NE3. It should be a .MD5 type of file
Give Odin a few mins to check the file. It may appear that Odin has hung up, just be patient.
After Odin has run the check, it should say ok in the little window on the bottom left. Now click START and wait.
DO NOT bump the phone, the laptop, the usb cord, and MAKE SURE THE BATTERY DOES NOT FALL OUT!!!
After Odin is done flashing, it will reboot the phone. After the initial reboot, the phone will reboot itself once more. Be patient
Now wait for the phone to completely boot up.
5) After you have got back to ME3, you can follow this guide to root it ---> http://androidxda.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-sprint-sph-l520
You already have most of the files you need. Just follow the instructions and download what you do not have already.
By the way, in Odin the AP button and the PDA button are the same
(This method should not trip the Knox counter, but I am unsure. Mine was already tripped before all of this)
OPTIONAL (this will trip the Knox counter and lose warranty status)
6) Now you can use this guide to install the custom recovery ---> http://techbeasts.com/2014/05/04/in...-root-sprint-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-sph-l520/
Again, you already have most of the files you need. DL what you don't have.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I am planning on instaling CM11 ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2669991
This ROM apparently needs a specific recovery in order to work properly. I installed that one instead.
MAKE A BACKUP IN THE RECOVERY OF THE STOCK ROM BEFORE FLASHING ANY CUSTOM ROMS, or else be sorry later.
This is about as simplified as I could get it. Hope this helps out those of you that were as confused as I was.
I will not be providing support. Simply do not have the time. There is more than enough info here to help you figure out what to do.

Can you help me to backup your first partition on your phone and send to me. You can use EFS Professional on xda.

Hmm....I installed the NJ1 update through Odin. And then flashed the CF auto root (or maybe it was the recovery.tar) with no issues. I did this when NJ1 was first released.

I was unsure about it considering all the changes with SE Secure and Knox. Always pays to be safer than sorry. I could not find any reports of this anywhere after hours of reading and searching. Thanks for confirming though. :good:

I am sorry, I have been really busy. What exactly are you trying to do? Asking someone to backup sensitive data from their phone and share it to a stranger can be alarming.
At least tell us what is going on or why you need the backup.

Bricked Galaxy A3 2017

Hello everyone, I decided to root my phone today. First I enabled OEM unlock and then installed TWRP, no problems with that. Then I tried to install CF autoroot through recovery and everything seemed fine. When I tried to boot up my phone it said something like integrity check failed and I had to do a factory reset to be able to even start the phone. I did not do that but tried to install official samsung oreo firmware through odin but it won't install, just fails. Then i got other error message saying "an error occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software". The only thing I can do now is enter download mode and nothing else but odin does not let me flash anything. I'm desperate here so any suggestion would be great. Model is SM A-320FL btw. Sorry for my english and lengthy post

What kind of error do you get in Odin?
Is it the one that says something like "SW Rev. check fail"?
If so than for me it worked to flash the bootloader and modem of Oreo and the after that i reinstalled the OS without any problems.

First it was just a red fail for BL, CSC and those other things and later it just won't even start. When I try to install TWRP it goes to half and stays there. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Was your device from a carrier, if so, try to flash the firmware that your device came with. If you can't solve this, PM me, so that we can try to resolve this on Telegram, Discord etc. :highfive:

Thank you for the reply, I don't think it was from carrier, when I tried to flash firmware I downloaded latest firmware from my current carrier so I think that shouldn't be a problem. I'll contact you tomorrow because i'm just too tired now. And update, I can flash TWRP now if that is of any help.

It is solved now, thanks everyone for your help

Hi. Glad to see you got this sorted, but it may be useful for other users to see what you did to resolve this.

Yes, how did you solved that.
Looking at two A320F I found one difference:
One has AP SWREV B:2 K:0 S:0
the other one (that makes trouble): AP SWREV B:3 K:1 S:1
What exactly does it mean.
Flashing with Odin gave me erros (on device, Odin just say "failed") depending on flashing BL (SW Rev Check failed )Bootlader Device: 3, binary: 2 , while flashing AP gives Kernel Rev check fail.
So, how to go on? I was able to flash TWRP, but not Stock (neither an old 6.0 nor 8.0).

Ok, solved it. Flashing stock will probably only work to same or newer versions, not for downgrade (at least not without any special tricks that I don't know).
After downloading the latest stock FW , odin passed.
Now I still have the problem, that I can't transfer data partion from one A3 to another one.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78062070&postcount=71

My first error was that I downloaded wrong firmware for my phone and because of that odin gave me errors. Second error was that I tried to wipe data through advanced wipe, but I needed to format it by pressing format data button. After doing that I was able to flash official stock ROM, install TWRP and root my phone. User MartinYTCZ helped me greatly with this, big thanks to him again. :victory:

Can't you backup your internal storage on PC or SD card, contacts, messages, phone calls, settings on samsung account and apps and data with titanium backup? When I flashed stock ROM I lost all data from my phone so be careful with that.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 (SM-T525) TWRP installation Error

Problem: Unable to install TWRP via ODIN. I try to flash the device with the twrp-3.1.1-0-picassowifi.img.tar using ODIN, I get the following errors during the boot recovery step Home+VolUP+Power:
Could not do normal boot.
ODIN Mode
Product name: SM-T525
Current binary: Custom
System status: Custom
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox warranty VOID: 0x1
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enabled (CSB)
AP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
Write protection: Enable
UDC Start
I am able to reinstall KitKat back to its original state using ODIN each time which helps alot.
The tablet was in the following state prior to the TWRP installation:
I did a factory reset back to original Kitkat version 4.4.2
Samsung account: No
Google account: Yes
Installation Preparation Steps
Downloaded following files:
LineageOS 14.1,
open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20201223
ODIN v3.14.4
Samsung USB Drivers v1.7.31.0
Auto-Root-picassolte-picassoltexx-smt525
twrp-3.1.1-0-picassowifi.img.tar
Installation Steps:
Tested if recovery mode is working prior to installing twrp: Done Successful
Installed USB drivers on your PC
USB Debugging was enabled on device by pressing build number 7 times in settings
Developer options: Activated USB Debugging
Disabled bootloader: not done (not sure how to do it and if it is required)
Rooted device via ODIN: Done successfully (Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time flags checked)
Disabled KNOX via SuperSU
Tested if recovery mode is still working after root: Done Successful
Installed TWRP image via ODIN: Status PASS (Auto Reboot flag unchecked, F. Reset Time flag checked)
Booted into TWRP Recovery using HOME+ Vol UP + Power button
The last step is where the error occurs and TWRP recovery mode did not start.
I tried multiple versions of TWRP, but all attempts failed.
I installed TWRP via play store on the tablet and selected the .img file for my device via the TWRP tool. Although the tool was able to flash the device (stated that the flash was successful within the tool), when I try to enter device recovery mode, I get the same error: Could not do normal boot.
Any idea what could be wrong? Am I missing a step, permission issue?
I would appreciate any hint
thx
Sal

Isn't the T525 the picassolte?
Seems to me you're using the wrong TWRP.

Thanks for the help. Before I reached out to you, I tried my best to gather all the info to upgrade to LineageOS. Rooting the device was one of the steps. I got the file for t525. I did not think about wifi or LTE. I see now that it makes a big difference.....thx. I'm rather new to the rooting and upgrading a device approach.
Strange, I doubled checked the package. It doesn't say anywhere about LTE - only wifi. But I checked the imei on imei.info and noticed that it is a LTE model. I bought the tab in 2014 and I guess I bought the lte model. This explains alot.
I will try the lte version of twrp.
thx again

I tried the lte version of twrp and I was able to enter into recovery mode. Thanks for the excellent tip.
I guess I need to do more homework on twrp and the whole process. I also got lucky on using the right root file. Because I almost made a huge mistake with rooting, I think I need to take a step back and do more research. I want to make sure that I have a complete image of my tablet just in case I take a wrong turn. I believe twrp is the right tool to do that. Any suggestions on the steps which I need to do?
Initially when I first started to gather all the info and dowloaded the files, I also downloaded lineage-14.1-20201218-UNOFFICIAL-n2awifi.zip. It appears that this file is also for the wifi model. Is there a difference between wifi and lte for lineageos 14.1?

@Sal60 so we finally figured out what you really got .
The saving process is very easy in TWRP just use backup option and save EFS, Boot, System and Data.
Although the last three can easily be restored by flashing stock ROM via Odin.
DON'T flash any ROM which is not specifically designed for your model as danger of bricking will be increased by doing so.

Awsome, I backed up everything. I will need to do more research on the right ROM. Using the wifi version I downloaded of the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 is probably not the best way to go.
I see that LineageOS.org does not support my tab as of now and CyanogenMod no longer exist. Do you know of any other projects which might support my tablet?

@Sal60 as I don't own any T52* I've no idea what's going on in ROM development.

@bmwdroid: thanks for the link. I will review the url. I completely understand the risk part. I rarely use my very expensive tab anymore because it is so old and more or less useless. Most apps do not work anymore. Samsung stopped updating the tab shortly after it was released.
Sorry about not hitting the like button.
I will update the post with the results after I do some research on the file.
Thanks.

@Sal60 I condemn Samsung for their update strategy as well.
That's why I will never ever again by a new device from them.
All my stuff is older than four years and on custom ROMs either on Nougat or even Q.
I bought them only after searching here for active devolopers.
