phone boots straight to odin mode help!

my friend tried to root his T999 but messed up on a step im guessing so now his phone will boot straight to odin mode. i tried putting it in download mode and use odin3 to restore it back to stock but odin3 would get stuck at the "nand write start" stage. his phone says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." when it is powered up. does anybody know how to fix this issue?? any help would be great! i googled everything that i could think of and tried everything that was suggested but nothing works! thanks in advance!!

Contradictory. Is it in download mode or isn't it?
You did not say what was being flashed with Odin, either.

Phones do not boot into ODIN. You will have to provide more info so we can help.
Links to the ROM or software you used etc.

ok i shouldve explained this a little more clearly. when i power on the phone it says this...
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-T999
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (10 COUNTS)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
so i pulled the battery, put it in download mode (vol down + home + power) ran ODIN3, and tried to flash SGH-T999_TMB_T999UVALH2_T999TMBALH2_Original (which is a stock image) thats when it gets stuck at the NAND write start!!

I could be completely wrong but it appears you tried to install an incompatible rom.

are you talking about the SGH-T999_TMB_T999UVALH2_T999TMBALH2_Original file?

Yes. I have not seen MBALH2 before regarding the tmo galaxy s3. I could be wrong. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in.

i also used this file too
T999UVDLJC_T999TMBDLJC_T999UVDLJC_HOME.tar
i downloaded the firmware from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-T999

If I understand correctly you flashed that after the first one. I'm not a IT guy, but to the best of my understanding if you flash a ROM intended for another device you are going to have major issues. Sorry. I know my answers are not what you are looking for. I am trying to give you a heads up for your friends phone.

well i am trying to flash the correct firmware for his tmobile S3.

He didn't flash the wrong file. Some other issue. Try a different data cable and USB port.

[Q] T-Mobile S4 & Odin

Well, I sure hope I didn't jack up my new phone for good.
I was using odin to get OUDHS CWM-Based Recovery 1.0.3.3 working.
I booted the phone into download mode, then connected and waited for my phone to be recognized. I selected the correct tar and hit start.
It failed on the first write section, and I couldn't get it to continue so i turned my phone off and tried to boot into download mode again. Now no matter what I do it gives me the "firmware upgrade failed" message and tells me to connect to Kies, but Kies will not detect my device.
Any ideas?
For reference I was following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260031 to the letter.
I will continue to work on this for awhile.

If you can still get into download mode try using odin to flash a complete firmware made for your specific device and obtained from sammobile.com

If I were you I would forget about KIES and uninstall it along with any other samsung applications and drivers
you have on your computer, then reboot your computer and download only the Samsung USB Drivers.
Once you have the latest samsung usb drivers install it and restart your computer.
That way you will have a clean start, and if the screen of your phone displays
anything at all, especially if it displays something about kies then that proves that
your phone will go into download mode if it's done properly.
Press the volume down, home and the power button at the same time until the phone vibrates
and then let go of the power button first before letting go of the other two buttons.
Before you do any of this, you need to download the stock Samsung Jellybean
v4.2.2 M919 MDL Touchwiz Odin flash firmware.
Here is the link to download it: http://k0nane.info/rom/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip
Here is the latest Samsung USB Drivers download: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...ng_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.14.0.exe

Well did finally get Kies to pick up the phone but it just gets stuck on connecting. How is anyone supposed to do a firmware recovery if the phone cant be connected to?
I will try what you said and uninstall and only install the usb drivers.
And to answer your question I can't get into download mode, it just skips right to the Firmware upgrade error.
Although in the top left of the screen I see this:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SGH-M919
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Official
CSB-OEM_CONFIG_LSB: 0x30
Write Protection: Enable
Does that mean anything?

Then do it the old fashion way, pull the battery out of the phone
and while pressing the volume down/home/power buttons put
the battery back in and see if that gets it into download mode.
(I hope your phone is a Tmobile M919 and not the international version or a variant like the M919V).

Yes, it's is the T-Mobile version. It has the case branding and everything. I got it straight from them.
Ah, that did it! I'm now back in download mode. Thank you.
I'm downloading the stock firmware, it will take about an hour. Should I attempt to flash the OUDHS recovery again, or wait and just flash the stock JB firmware?

You are downloading the STOCK JB firmware now....
After your phone is up and running reboot into download mode and you will need to Odin flash the OUDHS recovery TAR file: http://d-h.st/jTk
Once that's flashed you will need to go into OUDHS recovery and flash this superuser.zip file: http://www.shabbypenguin.com/Android/Scripts/Nexus-Files/Root/Superuser-1.0.1.1.zip
After flashing the superuser.zip reboot the phone.
Just to play it safe, after you reboot the phone reboot it again in recovery and flash this:http://batakang.com/ftp/SGH-M919/ROOT_M919UVUAMDL.zip
This will setup your kernel to be 100% un-restricted so there will be no chance that you will loose root access.
NOTE: If you want to keep your phone STOCK then after odin flashing the JB stock firmware don't do anything else.
Good luck!

Thank you for the help. One question though, Do i continue to use the PDA button on odin for the JB flash like I was instructed for the other thing or do I use the phone button?

FWIW home button is not needed on the S4 to enter recovery or download mode. I love it Just hold down one of the volume buttons as its booting and voila

Use the PDA button. I *believe* the phone button is only for flashing modem files.

Make sure your cable is good and try different USB port on pc.
Also which firmware are you on?

I've used 2 cables already and different USB. . I think the pit file is what I may have to check agian,as this seems debugging ODIN failures. Can somebody post me S4, Tmo 16GB stock pit file?
I'm on MK2 firmware. I'm trying to go back to stock firmware/4.2.2.

Completely bricked S6 Edge G925T - any help?

I can't boot up, can't get into recovery. I can only get into download mode. No matter what TWRP I flash, it says "Custom Binary(BOOT) Block By FRP Lock" on the Downloading screen.
I tried flashing stock 5.1.1 odin, 5.1.1 bootloader/modem, etc. Can't get past this to get into recovery or boot the device. Any suggestions??
EDIT: Good news! Flashing the stock 5.1.1 odin image worked . (link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841)
It even preserved my data and everything (I guess b/c I was on the leaked 5.1.1). I'll probably just back up some things and start fresh on the stock software, but I'm just glad to have it working.

I was running the G925T (edge) leaked 5.1.1 rom ([5.1.1][ROM][TW][OE6] Blck/TW), which worked well for the month that I used it. I had TWRP from that thread installed as well (I think it was 2.8.6.x). Everything was good at this point.
Where I am now:
When I power the device on, it says:
KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock.
When I try to enter Recovery, it says:
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock.
What I did to get here:
SHORT VERSION - flashed latest modem and bootloader for G925T (edge) via Odin.
LONG VERSION
Last night I attempted to flash (via ODIN) the G925T bootloader, modem, and TWRP for this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-xtrestolite-pure-edition-1-0-beta-1-t3082467
G92xF(D)/T Galaxy S6 Universal Odexed Pure edition ROM
Based on the latest Samsung Stock G925F XXU2BOFJ Lollipop 5.1.1 firmware (Base build date: 20-JUN-2015)
NOTE: I didn't ever get to flash the ROM because the trouble started when trying to flash the bootloader/modem via ODIN.
- Odexed Pure Edition: Odexed & 100% original/Stock files!
Steps followed:
Do exactly step-by-step the following things:
- Unplug your Phone (IMPORTANT!)
- Turn your Phone completely off (This is IMPORTANT)
- Start your Phone in download mode on this way: Press Vol down + Home + Power buttons till the screen turns on, press Vol Up to continue (Only enter download mode on this way, otherwise it won't work!!)[/B]
- Open Odin 3.10.6 on your PC (Make sure you're using this version of Odin, other versions won't work correctly maybe!)
- Click on the 'BL' button, and load in your BOOTLOADER tar.md5 file for your model
- Click on the 'CP' button, and load in your MODEM tar.md5 file for your model
- DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE (you can brick your phone if you choose other settings in Odin)
- Now Connect your phone to your computer (DO NOT connect your phone before this step, otherwise it won't work!)
- Click on the Start button
- Wait till it finish flashing.
- Your phone reboots automatically after flashing. <--- device never rebooted because ODIN said Failed instead of Successful.
I then tried to flash TWRP 2.8.7.1 (link below) since maybe that had to be flashed before the bootloader/modem, but it failed too.
Links:
Odin 3.10.6
DOWNLOAD - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934555153
[G925T] Odin Bootloader/Modem Packages:
5.1.1 Bootloader: G925T-UVU2COF6
DOWNLOAD - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347766210
5.1.1 Modem: G925T-UVU2COF6
DOWNLOAD - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347766211
You also have to update your TWRP to the latest version (2.8.7.1 or newer) when flashing this.
DOWNLOAD - http://build.twrp.me/twrp/twrp-2.8.7.1-zeroflte.img.tar

Is there a file I can Odin flash to disable FRP Lock? I can't boot up to turn it off.
If not, what are my options from here? Any way to preserve SDCARD or even /Data?
If all else fails, what Odin file should I flash to get back to stock?
EDIT: Regardless of what I try to flash in Odin (recovery, kernel, TWRP, modem), it begins the process but then fails because the phone states "_______ is not SEANDROID enforcing" and states FRP lock is on.

SmartSwitch isn't detecting my phone (although Odin does). What mode should it be in? I can get into Download Mode, but that's about it!

Your biggest problem right now is getting past FRP / factory reset protection, the only way to avoid this would have been to turn on bootloader unlock in "developer options"
OEM unlocking.
The security system is protecting your phone from you.
You need to be able to smartswitch back to stock but since your device status was not official, custom after running odin, root or anything else you may have done with root, smartswitch won't recognize your phone.
Without "OEM unlocking" on, the phone will turn on you.
The purpose of this security is to prevent your lost or stolen phone from been modified in any way and activated with another carrier.
Maybe tmobile has a procedure for returning phone back to normal.

Guys at the store couldn't do anything unfortunately. I guess it's just a brick now?
EDIT: The leaked 5.1.1 didn't have that option in dev options either. I guess running the leaked 5.1.1 is where I screwed up, even though it worked great while actually using it. I didn't have root, but I had TWRP recovery.

Would flashing the stock image work since it's not a custom one? I'm downloading it now from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
I'm guessing it won't work or else you would have suggested it. If anyone has a suggestion, I'm open to it!
It seems like there must be a way to disable FRP with an Odin flash, but maybe not.

After looking over article I give it a thumbs up, it may work for you.
Thats the problem with leaked updates or firmware, sometimes devs take shortcuts in order to package it for flashing and security stuff gets left out.
The ota 5.1.1, shows the option to turn on unlock bootloader .
Keep us posted, good luck.

Read carefully before you flash, and setup smartswitch on your pc, do a backup just in case.

Thanks for replying, by the way. I got locked when i am still on 5.0.2 and i flash the bootloader and the modem. It was the modem of 5.1.1 didn't go through.
Will it be flashed through the 5.1.1 firmware, if not, any other options can solve the frp locked? Thanks

You need to flash 5.0.2 stock firmware with Odin, then maybe.
You can't flash anything that's 5.1.1 on your phone.

Yes, use Odin to install the latest stock ROM. There are numerous threads right here explaining how to do this and providing links. But....
Download Odin from here: http://www.samsungodindownload.com/

If you are on the latest update U2QK2/5 and are trying to flash any U1 bootloaders it wont work. thats probably why its not working. on your phone does it say SW VERSION 2 / Binary 1 / Fused 2
something like that?
