[Q] flashed stock image using ODIN, stuck at boot at "Samsung". assistance requested
My wife's phone T989 stopped working during the week previously running one of the custom ROMs for Jedi Mind Trick. Unable to put or enter custom recovery i have restarted the phone to put into download mode, run Odin 3.07 and flashed factory stock image for the phone. Odin recognizes the phone, and completes the flash successfully. phone reboots but always stuck at samsung screen (just the letters, not the animation). the previous ways to get phone into download mode (power + volume buttons do not work), however, i can get it into download mode but doing volume and usb connection on power up. Odin still sees the phone fine and allows me to reflash factory image.
Any hints of where to look at next? is locating proper PIT file my next setp?
Thank you for your help
if it helps, here is what I see in the download mode

Thank you. no luck so far. I used ODIN 1.85 to flush stock image. everything worked without error, phone restart and is stuck at the same Samsung screen it was stuck before (waited for 1.5 hours to confirm).
The image i am trying to flush T989UVLE1_T989TMBLE1_T989UVLE1_HOME.tar.md5
My next attempt would be to flash T989UVMC6_T989TMB_T989UVMC6_HOME.tar.md5 images.
Any other thoughts?
Got it to work
If it would help anyone - used ODIN 3.07 and T989UVMC6_T989TMB_T989UVMC6_HOME.tar.md5 , flashed but did not wait for the phone to finish reboot. entered recovery, flashed system data to remove boot loop and got the phone to finish booting.
Thanks to all who helped!
I have a stock galaxy note 2 which keeps booting into download mode. the phone hasnt ever been rooted. it was running just the stock att firmware. but started bootlooping, and now boots only into download mode.
Ive tried to get it to boot into recovery but it will only auto boot into the download.

reflash stock rom using odin
Odin always give a pit error when I try and flash
4.1.1 firmware ?
Reflash stock firmware via Odin or kies....sounds like a corrupted partition...
Also possible that the emmc is bad...
Try reflash of the rom first...
Kies works also...but you "will" lose data not already on the SD card....g
I tried kies, it just says connecting.. but never connects. When I boot my wifes note 4 into download mode it will have some red text in the top left corner. The note 2 doesn't have anything other than downloading on the screen

try with PIT in Odin
Tried adding a pit file and the stock tar file. I then got a repartition error. I can Google and find other people who have had the same problem in the past but no one seemed to ever figure out how to resolve the issue.
Hi,
I have a samsung gt-n7100 it hangs on the samsung galaxy note II logo and afterwards the android bot appears to be loading...then a red exclamation marks pops up and many error messaged appear such as failed to mount efs etc.
Android System Recovery is - KOT49H.N7100XXUFNE1
I have tried odin3, but it fails every single time....failed to write to nand in short.
I tried using the recovery pit and 4.1.2 recovery files, but same it fails every time and I have noticed that on the phone sometimes there is invalid magic string.
I am thinking that it could be the bootloader since it cannot be downgraded, but the link nd3 bootloader to flash is down and can't try that, but it can be anything.
Can anyone suggest anything? maybe even a way to flash phylz recovery and then flash a custom rom?
Am clueless and any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
use different ver. of odin or kies recovery.
what info do you have in odin?
hey I had same problem stuck on logo and could not use odin becouse of same problem. so it was long time ago and I dont remember in details but what I did was, I used microSD. moved rom files in it and installed them with recovery.Sorry my english is weak but if you dont have cwm recovery or twrp recovery try to find them for odin.I think I did not have them working too but I found recovery to installed with odin and It worked.no NAND error or things like that.so try to install recovery with odin and then put rom files on sd card(if you have it).since then I haven't tryed to install any stock rom using odin becouse I still have that NAND error and I dont want my phone to die in my hands . GOOD LUCK!
Are you using the original Samsung USB cable? Tried different USB ports?
Trying to fix a friend's GT-N7105. At the moment it just bootloops the Samsung bootloader screen (which shows the model number GT-N7105).
I can boot it into download mode just fine. On download mode it just says that both the "Current Binary" and "System Status" are "Custom".
I've tried flashing the stock ROM for the phone (the latest for the Optus version) with Odin. I've also tried doing a firmware restore through Kies 2. Both of these complete fine, but the phone continues bootlooping the Samsung logo.
I've tried directly flashing the newest bootloader with Odin, and I've tried flashing a custom recovery with Odin. I've tried flashing the stock firmware with the device's PIT file and re-partition selected. Nothing seems to change how the phone behaves. I can't boot into recovery mode (it just continues the Samsung logo bootlooping).
The emmc doesn't seem busted, since it happily downloads the full system.img when flashing. Odin/Kies finish flashing without errors, so I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Make sure that you have pressed power + volume up + home button to boot into recovery (maybe you have known already)
And try to format everything: data, system, cache,...Wipe everything. There should be some adb commands to do it without recovery. After that reflash stock ROM again to see if it work.

Thanks for that. This seems to be for the N7100. I tried flashing that file both as is and when replacing the included recovery with one appropriate for the N7105. Still just boots back to the bootloader (looping, same as before). Certainly didn't make anything worse.
If I leave it alone, sometimes it randomly makes it to the animated Samsung logo, where it plays the boot sound (dun dun dun duuun dun), but then this animation loops forever (I have tried leaving it overnight).

sorry to hear that
i think N7105 differs from N7100 {modem & kernel (boot*img ) }afaik, I cannot confirm
anyhow I did not find an alert from the developer regarding this matter (N7105/N7100) in his post

I've flashed the file, but still having the same bootloop problem. It is ok, I have ordered a new motherboard now. Thanks for the input.
Hi, I've digged through much of xda and not found a satisfying answer. My phone boots into download, is detected by odin (7,8,9,12 all ok), and whatever I do, odin says it was successfull. I tried flashing the stock ROM, the official ROM with 4.4.2, pit file, all in vain. Before crashing my s4 was running cm13 with twrp3.0.2-1. When turning phone on, it just displays "Samsung GalaxyS4 mini / GT-I9195 label on black screen, with "set warranty bit: kernel" in upper left corner. Download mode boots ok, but recovery - twrp 3.0.2-1 logo is displayed for about 8 seconds, and then phone reboots to "normal" mode - displaying the logo.
It would be great if some of you had an idea of what to do as I've been trying on my own for 3 weeks now and nothing changed for better.
As there are people looking at this thread, it would be great to hear from you! I still did not succeed in flashing anything, twrp screen shows for 8sec and then phone reboots to normal, which is samsung splash screen. I'm using samsung drivers, have tried different usb ports, used different computers, still nothing.
Did you try 4 files firmware?

Hi,
Unfortunately I can't help you here, but I have a similar problem and it might be related to yours. I have also have a Samsung S4 mini GT-i9195 LTE. Originally with Android 4.4.2 but lately with no OS at all. And I can't figure out how to get one back. What happened, chronologically and (very) detailed:
I rooted my phone with KingoRoot, which worked fine as far as I can tell. When I didn't like the KingoSuperUser-App I installed SuperSU. But it failed to work, apparently because of Knox or something like that. I later wanted to flash my phone with a LineageOS ROM (lineage-14.1-20170505-nightly-serranoltexx-signed.zip) and therefore I wanted to install TWRP as custom recovery. As the usual way with Odin seemed a bit complicated to me at the time, I decided to install the "TWRP Manager" App, which went well. But as soon as I tried to install my ROM with it, it asked if my bootloader was unlocked. So, after searching the internet about that and it said that Samsung phones usually have an unlocked bootloader and only have to be rooted, I went on with installing the LineageOS ROM using the TWRP Manager. Mind you, I am not talking about the custom recovery that you have to boot in to by pressing Vol-Up+Home+On/Off-Button, I am talking about the app that you can download and just needs root permissions to do the same stuff. I had downloaded the ROM-zip onto my SDcard before and wanted to flash it from there.. Now, when I let the app go on, the screen just went blank. And this might be the moment I overreacted. I panicked and tried to start my phone again. But it only went as far as the Samsung logo and didn't go further and I had to pull the battery to turn it off. I then tried to boot into recovery mode by pressing Vol-up+home+On with no result, I then tried with Vol-down+home+On and found Download mode with:
Code:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9195
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 -> this one might have been 0x0 the first time
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
After some research I downloaded Odin3 (v3.12.5) and managed to flash TWRP (2.6.3.0) onto my phone. And I found the ROM-zip file, but it would not let me unpack and flash it and it didn't help to uncheck the "Zip file signature verification." When I tried to flash I always got the same error massage:
Code:
Updating partition details...
Running boot script...
Finished running boot script.
Installing '/external_sd/lineage-14.
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file foun
Warning: No file_contexts
Target: 1493971678
detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/bl
Can't install this package on top of
E: Error executing updater binary in
Error flashing zip '/external_sd/lin
Updating partition details...
And it gives a "failed" response. Now, I tried moving the zip to internal_sd and flashing with no better result. I also tried to flash a stock ROM which I downloaded from Sammobile.com. This didn't work either. The adb push method and the sideload didn't work out either.
Interestingly, when I go to "Reboot" -> "Power Off" to turn the phone off I get a dialog:
No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to power off?
-> "Swipe to power off"
-> then comes the next dialog:
Install SuperSU?
Your device does not appear to be rooted.
Install SuperSU now?
This will root your device.
-> "Swipe to install."
Which had no effect at all but to inform me that my phone apparently isn't rooted after all. I therefore downloaded the S4Mini_RootKit_v2.zip and tried flashing it, which was successful. But I still got the same dialog when powering off and I couldn't install the zip files either.
That's where I am now and I really don't know what to try or do next. As I could flash TWRP onto my phone, shouldn't it also be possible to flash an OS?
I hope this was a precise enough description. If someone has any further question, please ask.

Try an factory reset with the recovery.
Download a multiple Firmware from Sammy with PIT.file
Boot into Download mode.
Download Odin 3.07 or 3.09 not newer
Flash all Files with Pit.file
Reboot.

I posted this thread precisely because my recovery DOES NOT work. No option for factory reset. It just reboots after ~8 secs of twrp 3.0.2-1 screen. Flashed with ODIN 3.09, official intern. ROM from sammobile into AP and drive. google. com /file/d /0Bx2R0nz6jh17bllKenctWnVsWkE/edit <-- this PIT file. Also tried this pit with different versions of twrp - 2.6, 3.0, 3.1 - still no change at all, no recovery booting
@desolate_sorrow
But you are not tried a multiple ROM with PIT.file.
You flashed only a Single File ROM under AP.
On the multiple ROM you can extract the CSC File and than you have the PIT.
Pit you can only flash with Odin and a ROM.

Perfect! Worked like a charm for me! While factory reset itself did nothing to improve the phone, the other stuff worked. I flashed my phone with the .tar.md5 file I extracted from the .zip file (from sammobile.com) using Odin 3.09 and my phone works again, thank you soo much!
I then rooted it again and flashed LineageOS (lineage-14.1-20170505-nightly-serranoltexx-signed.zip) onto it. It worked but during the first startup I got the error massage "Setup wizard keeps stopping". I then tried the newest (20170519) version and got the same error again. Any Idea how I might repair this?
About the pit. file: what exactly is the difference between this multiple pit file, a "usual" pit file and the .tar.md5 file I used?
On a multiple ROM file is all separately, Bootloader, Phone , Modem and CSC file.
The PIT file is the partion File of the RAM. You can extract this seperat from the CSC file.
To the issue the the gapps. Try an older Version or flash first the LOS and setup WiFi.
Than flash Opengapps with wipe cache and dalvik than normally works the wizard.

i got the same problem, that the recovery is not working, flashing a multiple rom with pit doesn't help (neither recovery nor rom is working).
but i guess the main problem is, that i got a REV02 phone and I only can find REV01 firmware (e.g. this one here: http://firmware.smartphonewp.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-gt-i9195-full-firmware-4-files/)
are there any REV02 firmwares out there, which maybe can help? or does anyone (@bierma32, @albaCross or @desolate_sorrow) got any other ideas?

Thanks for replying. I tried flashing the LOS ROM and booting without gapps. According to TWRP it was successful. But when I booted for the first time I got similar error messages as before "[any app name] stopped running". Just with several names and all of them one after the other. Most of them appear to be named something like .android.com with different pre- and suffixes.
I then tried a more actual version of LOS with a similar result (same error message, similar names). After several times I decided to go back to my previously created TWRP backup (of the stock ROM with root access and several of the more annoying apps removed, also I had checked all partitions when backing up): I did a custom recovery and recovered my backup file and it seemed to work, TWRP said "success". On booting I again had the now so familiar error messages on the screen. Same happened when I flashed the stock ROM and recovered my backup after that, or at least tried. While TWRP still said it was a success it would not get past the screen where you choose your language.
After this I gave up and went back to the stock ROM and "rebuilt" my old phone. Maybe my phone just doesn't like anything but the stock ROM, so I should probably just stick to it.
But, just out of curiosity, what exactly is the problem with the phone if neither custom ROMs nor system backups work on it properly?

this was me just 2 days ago!
i was on lineage os 7.1.1 with TWRP and was stuck wanting to go back to stock.
i flashed many many roms and they all failed in ODIN.
Eventually i found a Netherlands ROM that did not fail on the REV02 check - might be worth a go!

good luck!
Hello,
I own s4 mini gt i 9192
i have rooted it with kingroot when it was in a stock firmware, then i have decided to install lolipop rom with twrp with superuser in it, everything gone smooth i have used my phone over 3 months, one morning i woke up, the battery level was 43 %, i have set it in the charger returned back after 30 minutes and have seen that it only got 3% energy, pulled out the battery and inserted back, charged the phone for a while in a turned off mode, and powered it one, strangely it started but showed some kind of upgrading panel on the main screen than immediately it turned off and started to restart again and again, i have booted it in recovery mode, wiped the cache restarted the phone, main screen turned on to enter my password but in a seconds it went black again, opened it up in twrp recovery mode, went into advanced settings and wiped something in there(i can not exactly remember the name of the thing i have wiped but there was an option to wipe it in twrp advanced settings, it warned me "that my phone would not start correctly but anyway i have done it") after it's wipe phone started with s4 mini logo, and restarted like this over and over again, in recovery mode it only shows twrp logo no options panel to access to internal or external sd card, neither wipe or factory just nothing but twrp logo. I have flashed the 4 files recovery pack, (pit, ap,csc and etc,) but same it is never helped, i have used multiple recoveries, and the original stock rom from sammobile, but it has nor cure, i am a newbie on tech and xda please if you could help me, i have tried to post it to xda forms but i did not find a button to post a thread, thanks.
