Today i flashed my tab that was stuck at the samsung logo with stock firmware from sammobile. I have done many flashes before for other phones and tabs. I downloaded the firmware, went into Download mode, opened odin and flashed it. All seemed to go well until it restarted to a black screen. I can see the backlight come on when i power it up but nothing else. If i hold down the buttons to go into download mode it stays black. But when i press the volume up button to confirm to go to download mode. Odin mode appears.
Odin Mode
Product Name: SW-T210R
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
HW REV: 0x5
When i get to odin mode i decide to try and reflash thinking that it just didnt complete. When i try to flash it again Odin now gives me "There is no PIT partition". I download the PIT file for my model from another thread on here. It then gives me "Re-Partition operation failed." I have not been able to find any to little information about fixing the Re-Partition operation failed. I have tried 3 different computers multiple USB ports and cables but not having any luck.
I can not get to recovery mode to do a factory reset, anything other then going to odin mode results in a black screen (just the backlight is on).
Thanks ahead of time for any help.

Hello forums,
I just got the hint I posted my question in the wrong forum. Here again the relevant information:
I pulled my note 2 out of my pocket and there was this "Samsung Galaxy Note II - N7105" logo showing. Since then I tried to reboot the phone but nothing helps.
Then I somewhere read something about "safe boot mode" (volume down + power). Since I tried this the screen gets completely scrambled black and white (like old television with no signal).
I tried several things since yesterday. I am able to get into download mode (vol down + home + power). With odin first I tried to flash the original rom.
The error is "There is no PIT partition". Then I tried to flash the cf-autoroot kernel - no success.
Then I tried to get a communication with the device by using adb console - no success. The device doesn't show up in connected devices list.
Since odin reports a missing (read: corrupted) PIT partition, I need the correct PIT-file for my official rom, right?
This is the ROM i've dl'ed from sammobile: N7105XXDMB2_N7105DTMDMA1_DTM
It _should_ be the version that actually was on my phone. Now I need the correct PIT file for that rom. Any idea where I can get that?

You can try the pitfile in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37688128
it seems I don't have any luck. odin hangs at <ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
I think i'll save my time and get a replacement...
I don't want to be a pessimist but it looks like you have SDS (Sudden Death Syndrome)
I don't think that's too pesimistic - just realistic
Have requested an RMA
Hello XDA!
So, idiot that I am, I decided today would be a great time to root my Galaxy S III (SGH-T999N version). It was running Jellybean 4.3, so it had fewer root options than other, older Jellybean versions, but I still found a root file on here. I put it into USB debugging mode, downloaded the driver, Odin, and the root file. I also backed the phone up on Kies, and have that on my PC., I did everything right, and... it failed. I tried again without doing anything to the phone (read: kept it in download mode), but it failed again with a different root file. So, I turned it off, sad that I wasn't able to root it, and I came upon the dreaded 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again' screen.
After hours of searching, I saw two different solutions: downloading the 4.3 OS from online, and using Odin to flash that to the phone, or using Kies to reformat the phone. I've been trying Kies, but Kies 3 isn't recognizing the phone, and won't allow me to restore or to reformat the phone. I'm still waiting on the download of Jellybean 4.3 to finish so that I can try that (Odin HAS been recognizing the phone). While I wait, I wanted to know if other users have had similar problems that they've solved, or where I've gone wrong, and what I can fix.
As for additional details:
- I CAN put the phone into Download mode. I CANNOT do a factory reset through Vol. Up+Home+Power
- The status screen with 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again' also has this information at the top:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-T999N
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty Bit: 0
BOOTLOADER AP SWAREV: 1
- The phone is carried by Metro-PCS
Thanks in advance!
Okay, turns out the downloaded Jellybean 4.3 OS did the trick. For future people who run into this issue:
1. Have Odin 3.07 or higher downloaded (Odds are that you have this due to your phone's current state).
2. Download a copy of the OS you want from here: samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SCH-I535 Go to the dropdown menu on the left-hand side, and select your phone. Don't know/remeber your phone's identifier? Open up the back, remove the battery, and there should be a white sticker with your phone's model at the top. WARNING! Unless you plan to pay, these downloads will take a while. Do this when you can have your computer on for 4+ hours.
3. Once the download is complete, unzip the file, and place it in a location that you can easily find with Odin.
4. Open Odin, and make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset time are the only options checked. If there are other options selected, uncheck them and proceed.
5. Click the "PDA" button, and select your copy of the Android OS from where it was stored. Assuming everything has gone correctly, a message should appear in the Odin status box along the lines of "Check MD5... Do not unplug the cable...". Wait for the message "Leave CS..." to appear before proceeding.
6. Once "Leave CS..." has appeared, put your phone into Download mode (Turn it off, then restart by holding down the Vol. Down, Home, and Power keys until you get a screen that has informed you that you are in download mode.). Then, plug your usb cable into your PC/Laptop, and then into the USB outlet on the phone.
7. Once Odin has noted that your phone is attached, you can press "Start", and assuming all steps have been followed correctly, the new OS should download, and your phone will reboot, fully functional. If you are lucky like me, it will even have kept all of your settings!
I tried doing a factory reset of my phone from the settings and it ended on a soft brick. The screen is white when i turn it on (no galaxy note 2 logo), i cannot access recovery mode, I can however start download mode. I tried to flash the firmware using odin but odin said the pit table is missing. I tried flashing the PIT but it failed (no error message, just fail). What can I do?
I suspect its an eMMC chip failure. Very few options, if at all.
Take it to service centre.
Sorry
ok so i had the latest cm13 rom on my phone partition is in ext4 had many issues with the rom so i went to flash the stock rom with odin
while the firmware was loading my usb cable failed and an error popped up saying odin process was aborted then the com port went empty (the phone disappeared) no the phone will not go into download mode while trying to get into download mode every thing looks good till you press the up button an you go to odin mode but with a message: firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
however my pc will not recognize my phone any more and i can not get into recovery either
in fact if i just plug the phone in it boots up to this message screen without even touching any buttons
I have tried just about everything i can think of even a unified toolkit but nothing will work as i cant access recovery or odin or kies???
I have also gone threw the forums and was not able to find anything pertaining to this directly
please help
I have a Samsung Note 8 GT-N5110 (WiFi only) that is stuck at the Samsung logo.
This started after there was an attempt to flash a non-stock firmware and the device powered off before it was done.
When I attempt to enter Recovery Mode (Volume Up + Home + Power) it displays "Write Fail!" in upper left of the screen.
I am able to enter "Download Mode", so I've tried flashing a stock firmware using Odin.
I've tried both a One-Click recovery based on ODIN3 v1.81 and also tried Odin3 v3.12.10.
Each time, Odin fails, with a message:
write fail!!
SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:2, BINARY:1
I've tried various versions of firmware, and nothing seems to work.
I've tried disconnecting the battery for a minute or so, and it still fails.
Any ideas what else I can try?
I have screen shots and detailed logs of what I've been getting, if that helps.
Thanks!
Believe it or not, I still have this device, and have not been able to get it to work!
So, I'll just revive this zombie post more than 2 years later, and see if anyone has any idea on what to do.
I'm in the fourth (fifth? sixth?) week of corona-quarrantine, so plenty of time to look into this!
The tablet needs more power than the computer's USB port can deliver. Thus, it will slowly drain the battery while connected to the computer and working via ADB, Odin or Heimdall. Seems like that has been the case in your earlier attempt, resulting in a corrupt flash memory. I can't tell if it's really defective or just corrupt and in need of formatting.
I'd try to:
1) Charge the battery
2) Copy LineageOS to the MicroSD card
3) Boot into download mode and install TWRP only via Odin or Heimdall. If this works,
4) Boot into Recovery (TWRP, not the stock one!), connect the charger to keep it powered and go from there (wipe and repair the internal flash, install LineageOS)
If this doesn't work, try if you can find any service functions in Odin or Heimdall to wipe and repair the internal flash.
Good Luck!
Ektus.
Hi Ektus,
Thanks for your help!
I will try as you suggested, and see what happens.
I'll let you know how I do.
Thanks!
I had similar problem. What I did is just change the USB cable to new.
