Galaxy Tab 3 AT&T (SM-T217A) Soft Brick

Hi did the same dam thing on my t210r .....you flashed the wrong firmware . Take a minute and slap yourself. Then search for the pit file for your device and the last correct firmware you used check repartition in odin (i used 3.12)insert pit file ,firmware, in correct odin slots ensure the device is recognized . Let me know if this wasnt the solution.

1) Have you tried to use an other usb port?
2) do you use the original usb cable?
3) do you have all the samsung drivers installed?
4) make eure that samsung kies is not running in the background
Hope it helps you

Is it giving you a FAIL after flashing , or doesn`t show up after a successful flash.
If it doesn`t show up after flashing , re-flash but untick "Auto-Reboot" within odin before flashing & restart manually after flashing.
I have a "Fail after flashing" - complete (Write) - operation failed in Odin
Which odin
Hi,
When flashing with oder it depends on the package which oder will work.
At my p 605 the 1.86 version was working without probs.
The best is to use the Oden which is coming together the Roms Zipfile.
I hope this info helps please let me know.
Good luck

I tried all the possible combination... different Odin... different cables and ports... it just didn't work.
Since I read from a old post that flashing a original rom thru Odin helps... and i tried... Odin works and the rom can be flashed without prompting the signature verification failed error.
I suspect if Samsung has done something to make the recovery image fails...
I tried flashing the recovery using the stock recovery too and it failed as well

Now I am confused are you talking about recovery or rom ?
The only recovery I could get to work was the TWRP - this Zip file comes with a Odin that works.
Cwm philz are not working.
But keep in mind as soon you installed twrp your knox counter is tripped.
For rom flashing you have to wipe your tablet and then follow these instructions xxxx://www.droidgator.com/update-galaxy-note-101-sm-p605-android-43-xxubmj9-firmware/.
Before starting backup your tab then everything should be fine.
Thanks for your effort in helping me out...
Before I sent my tablet for servicing... I restored the tablet with Kies to the original factory setting and rom as I HAD rooted my P605 and flashed a custom rom before. [Although the Know count is 0*1 anyway.... but the service centre was kind enough to fix my tablet as it's a hardware failure instead of anything to do with the ROM ]
When I got my tablet back and tried to flash the TWRP into it, this problem surfaced. And I read from another post that some say flashing a Samsung original rom could help I tried but to no avail. Still I am waiting and looking for a solution.
I tried Odin 3.04 3.07 and 1.85 with the two versions of TWRP but still none of them work.

Might you recall what the firmware version was before you started to flash this one?
I am also trying to recover from NC3 back to MJ4XAC and it is not allowing me to finish, Kies also does not recover the tablet. It looks like one of the filesystems is in a different state. With TWRP there are options to perform CHMOD on the file systems but I figure I have been mocking around long enough and for some reason beyond my experience the system is not responding.
Can you still get into ADB mode? That might be an option to see if you can gain access?

Although it failed, I was able to recover using kies and use tablet as normal without data loss. It might be because at that point I had not rooted my tab and system state was still original in odin.
By the way I was on MJ4 xsa(AUSTRALIA) trying to install NC2 TGY(HONG KONG).
Now I have rooted it and have I installed NC2. I am still not sure what the issue was. But the only thing I did different was, first was using a virtual machine, but now did in an actual windows machine.
Can you please try this? If you can, install back NC2 using odin. Boot it once, then try recovering using kies. Kies recover mode gets your latest firmware based on your serial number. Not what firmware you are running.
Please post back the result. Interested to know the outcome.

I don't think it is. Although the specs are the same, read somewhere that the internal partition structure for carrier branded firmware are different to generic. Don't remember where I read that. But can't confirm that either.

maybe you can try to flash a third-party recovery like CWM with odin and watch if it flashed successfully and if you can enter recovery. the recovery file is a normal tar.md5 which can be flashed like stock firmware.Drivers works well under windows 8 8.1even the newest windows10 tp

Make sure you have a good cable and use back USB(2.0) port if you are using a desktop.Maybe youcan try another recovery file and flash as many times as you can(someone said it would work)

Do these at your own risk.
search for PIT file made by dr ketan and flash it together with the stock n7100 firmware in odin. that will solve tour problem.
somebody posted pit file here.. be sure that your n7100 is 16gb
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1927983
extract it and use that together with the stock firmware in odin. select pit for pit files and pda for stock firmware
after finish flashing it will be stuck again in samsung logo. boot again to recovery mode and wipe data/reset to factory mode and then reboot

Telus Note 2 stuck in bootloop

I have a Telus Note 2 sgh-I317M I believe it has android 4.3 on it but not sure. It was rooted using chainfires method.
I am not able to enter recovery mode but I can enter download mode.
If the phone is in download mode and I open Kies it spins on connection but never connects. If phone isnt in download mode Kies doesnt see it.
With Odin is able to see the phone in download mode but when I try and do anything the results are below.

I have tried uninstalling Kies and I have used Odin v1.85, V1.3 and V3.10
and I have tried different firmware for the phone starting with 4.3
I have tried using a different computer and different usb cables.
I have a second note 2 that is able to connect to both Odin and kies on this computer.
If I should post this question else where my apologies and please point me in the right direction.
What am I missing in trying to get this fixed? Google research mentions PIT files but Im not familiar with them and I haven't found a step by step guide.
Try using Odin 3.07. I only use 3.07 and I have had great success.
Download the latest Telus ROM from sammobile. Open Odin, do no check anything except F.reset time. Flash the ROM in PDA. When you see the word Reset in the status window, remove the usb cable from the phone, pull the battery and leave it out for about 10 seconds, replace the battery, boot into recovery, perform a factory wipe, and reboot.

[Q] SCH-i605 Stuck in Boot Loop No Recovery or Download Mode

I've had JediX on my note 2 for over a year. I got a new phone and want to sell the note 2. So I followed the instructions here to restore it to factory:
I used the appropriate image for my US Verizon phone (I think!). Odin reported success and rebooted the phone. That's when I got the boot loop at the Samsung Galaxy Note II splash screen. I can get to download mode but not recovery. So I tried again thinking I'd done something wrong. Now I get a failure from Odin:
<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/005> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/005> sboot.bin

Should say "No Recovery Only Download Mode"
Are you in the correct forum? This forum is for the ATT LTE version of the note 2.
I think you're getting the sboot.bin error because you are trying to flash a bootloader that was not desgined for your phone.
Did you try searching for stock firmware from sammobile.com?

Flashing STOCK firmware (via ODIN):
Put phone off / battery pull
Download ODIN (this one or whichever is newest at the time you read this)
Open up ODIN (as Administrator on Windows PC)
Press and HOLD DOWN the Volume Down [AND] the Home buttons. THEN Press the POWER button. On the screen it will show, press Volume UP to go to DOWNLOAD mode
Plug your phone into the PC and ODIN will show you (in the log) that a device has been Added!
Click the AP button and navigate to your downloaded firmware.
Let ODIN finish the MD5 check and then press START to start flashing
So, at this point, your ODIN will either be showing PASS or FAIL.
If it shows PASS, you're good to go. Skip to Installing a recovery.
If it shows FAIL, read the Log (displayed in the program's left hand side) and observe this:
Code:
<ID:0/005> sboot.bin
<ID:0/005> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/005> boot.img
<ID:0/005> recovery.img
<ID:0/005> system.img
<ID:0/005> modem.bin
<ID:0/005> cache.img
<ID:0/004> hidden.img
<ID:0/004> FAIL!
<ID:0/004>
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Before showing FAIL!, the last thing it should've listed should be hidden.img
If yours didn't show this, it probably didn't flash the phone upto this point. What we want is for the boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, modem.bin and cache.img to have been flashed to the phone.
When it shows FAIL!, it means that the bootloader it is trying to flash is older than what the phone already has. You will probably find that you are stuck here when you're coming from LL to KK or JB, or from a newer KK to an older one.
Fear not It still worked!
What we do now is just flash a recovery to the phone (we will be replacing the stock recovery that stock ROM comes with), (or root it) and we'll be good to go.
Installing a custom recovery:
Download a recovery (I use TWRP Materialized )
Unzip it and re-open your ODIN (if your ODIN was still open, hit the RESET button)
Do a battery pull on the phone, and boot into DOWNLOAD mode again.
Connect the phone to the PC. ODIN should show in the Log that a device has been added.
Click AP button and navigate to where your Custom recovery is.
After ODIN finishes MD5 check, hit START and let the Custom recovery be flashed.
After this is done, boot into recovery by holding down the Volume Up [AND] Home buttons then pressing Power button.
Go into recovery and wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik (factory reset) and reboot the phone.
BOOM! You'll see the Samsung logo doing its thing and we'll be good to go!
Leave a thanks if this helps :highfive:

Okay. I had the Odin Fail because I was trying to downgrade to a firmware with earlier bootloader and as you described I installed TWRP. But now I still get the same error in Odin when trying to install this firmware even with TWRP in place... What should I do?

List for the steps you're taking to install. I fear that we might have gotten lost somewhere along the way.
The idea is to FIRST install the firmware, THEN install TWRP, then reboot (TWRP should be the last thing you install.)

Your post title says "for downgrade". So I have a firmware with, let's say, bootloader binary version 3 installed. I want to downgrade to an older firmware which has bootloader binary version 2. I can't just flash the older firmware, because Odin fails. So I was following your guide to install TWRP to somehow downgrade through that, but it doesn't work.
When it shows FAIL!, it means that the bootloader it is trying to flash is older than what the phone already has. You will probably find that you are stuck here when you're coming from LL to KK or JB, or from a newer KK to an older one.

That's okay! it's perfectly fine for it to FAIL!
Flash it again and copy/paste the ODIN Log here for me to see and advise on what you should do next.

not helpful. you only flashed the recovery and not the whole system file. flashing the system file will took you a minute while the error on takes less than a second.
After i do the odin recovery it showed PASS . but after that phone tried to restart and the samsung logo came on thrice flashing and gone OFF . Now the phone is in dead mode. Please help me to help to resolve this. My phone is samsung note 2(GT7105)
hi, if i flash firmware via odin, programs and files on internal memory will erase or not? thanks
Hi, i was flashing an older version of android to my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, using odin, i entered all the files in Odin and it was working fine up until it was almost finished and i accidentally bumped my phone and Odin displayed a FAIL immediately... lol wow i am such a idiot. I disconnected, reconnected, tried to re-run Odin again, it told me it failed right away so theres no fixing it with Odin anymore. I tried restarting phone, i somehow got it to restart but it doesnt show samsung logo or anyting, i just see a Recovery Booting... in the top left corner of screen in tiny letters... i can get it into download mode but nothing else. I dont know what to do, somebody help me out here. How do i fix this??

Hello, I got a very similar issue on my phone. I spent more than a week trying to find a solution and everytime I got a FAIL. This morning I got a PASS! here is what I did:
_ Use odin v3.12.7 with administrator priviledges.
_ In options I checked: Autoreboot, Re-Partition, F.Reset Time and Phone Bootloader Update.
_ I loaded BL, AP, CP and CSC Files (it was CSC and not Home_CSC).
_ I started the phone in transfert mode (home, volume down and start button). And then press volume up to activate the transfer mode.
_ I connected the phone to the computer and the Phone appeared in ID:COM.
_ I pressed "Start".
And this time the transfer did not fail. It took several minutes and then the phone rebooted and I got the welcome screen as good as new.
I don't know if it worked because I selected "Re-partition" and "phone bootloader update" this time or if it's because I downloaded the lastest stock rom from samsung I was able to find at present (maybe both). But I am so happy now.
Good luck to you and BE CAREFUL because Re-Partition and updating the bootloader could definitely brick your phone...
Secure boot fail
Im getting a secure boot fail after update. Ive tr8ed just AP and odin says boot fail. Phone says secure boot fail. And ive tried all ap,bl,csc,cp and i get from odin re partition fail and again on phone secure boot fail. Is there a way to maybe bypass secure boot. Oem is not optional and it will fail trying the combo rom for factory binary as well. Before the update i was ablento flash everything basically regardless of csc and verison.
Hello,
I downgrade and i tried many stock ROMs (marshmallow and lollipop) and checke all youtube videos, nothing is working. I always i got error. So i want to ask if with your instructions you managed to install stock marshmallow ROM from stock nougat on A510F just because you additionally chose "Re-Partition" and "Phone Bootloader Update" ?
Thanks.

a few days ago my Samsung bootloop, I found a solution. Download the latest firmware for your Samsung, which is suitable for your country. enter download mode, just flash AP, later he will install and reboot. when rebooted later if it isn't mistaken it appears no modem / radio (I forgot). enter download mode again, flash CP only. then device will reboot and enter recovery default. in recovery select wipe factory. and my samsung will reset again. I hope this helps you.
