you mean you did a wipe/factory reset from recovery?
if so, i guess you have to reflash with odin. you could use adb to connect to the phone from recovery and try to fix the problem manually but i guess thats no an option for you ... reflash is the fastest method to get your phone running again ...
yes, i did the factory reset. i want no longer to be wrong, so can you please give me some newbie steps to do the reflash or at least a link? thank you very much, i am no longer in panic!

read flash firmware using odin. i recommend one of the jmX firmwares. the newest of them being WXJM7
thanks a lot for the help, i will never forget you. i was scared of losing the warranty and not solving this issue. if i am right, the method will work because i didnt know that you can make an entrance to the system. i checked the download mode and it works, i am now stuck with my pc until i repair it and on the firmware. 2 questions: 1. if the drivers of the sgs are installed, do i need to remove kies and reinstall it or something like that? and 2. if i did the factory reset, was the internal sd card formatted? thanks a lot again.

1)Hi there. There is no need to uninstall/reinstall kies, in fact u do not have to open it to be able to use odin. You can view this video tutorial first part and second part for illustration purposes. If you are unable to connect to odin you can open kies and reinstall your drivers with it.
2) As far as I know when you do a factory reset only your system reserved partition of your internal sdcard is formatted. The rest of your data in /SDCARD will remain untouched.
Senior members pls correct me if I'm wrong.

theoretically you WILL loose your warranty when you use odin to flash a firmware, in reality the will never find out as long as you don't brick it during flashing...if you want to be 100% on the save side (regarding the warranty) you can also flash the original firmware (JF3 for me) back. personally i would not worry about that ...

no, you are in fact completely right
now that i know that this method can not fail i dont care about the warranty., what is the differences between firmwares and should i use the latest one?

as i wrote above i recommend a JMX one (JM6 or JM7) as they are really stable. i use JPC (android 2.2) which works well for me but there are people reporting serious problems like locked phones and overwritten IMEI's. therefore i wouldn't recommend this for unexperienced people...
i don't want to worry you but there are people who managed to brick their phones with odin. it's very very unlikely if you follow the instructions precisely. just that you know ... read the howto's carefully before proceeding!

i agree but desperate people don't care about forum-rules which is why we have so many threads like this in the dev section. i guess the only way to solve this would be if an admin/mod would manually move them
i will consider this and i understand that it has some risk, but i think this is my only chance. also, i hope the 0.05 percent chance of a major electricity fail will not ruine my phone. for clarifying: is this reflash like the windows reinstalation with different update packs? if the process will be done completely, is there a chance for the black screen will be still there? i am a little nervous, not scared as the first time, but if the process dont work, is there any chance to repair it through samsung with some costs?

Hey there buddy.
I can see that you are really concerned about messing things up. But really, don't worry. It has some down falls, but flashing with Odin is might safe. And as was earlier recommended, you can try flashing to either JM6 or JM7. Both are very stable releases. Here are a couple of links, one for the JM6 and the other for JM7. Trust me when I say this, IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT.....
JM6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765032
JM7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770821
This is another link to a brilliant post by Darkstriker. This is a well thought of FAQ's. It will guide you properly. Follow instructions to the letter and you will be all right.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
It would also be a good idea to do a factory data reset after you are done flashing.
Take the plunge buddy. Be cool.....
Cheers....
Whoops.... Almost forgot. This is a link provided by Darkstriker in his FAQ. This is a faster website to download from. Let me give you direct links to the JM6 and the JM7 and the Odin and PIT files.
JM6
JM7
Odin And PIT File: https://www.wuala.com/Samsung Galax...Odin & Bootloader(.PIT)/Old/?key=AfzUZSU4SpKU
You will need both the files listed on the linked page (Odin and PIT File)
Plus you will also need the CSC files. Choose the correct one from the link below after finding the relevant info from the JM6 and JM7 links. If still in doubt, ask away.
CSC: https://www.wuala.com/Samsung Galax...C fo XWJM6, XFJM6 and XWJM7/?key=AfzUZSU4SpKU
it seems that i gave you something to work on. good, i will use one of these but i am not clear about the pda csc modem things. can someone tell me what i need to do at this step? i dont understand and i am thinkin about the apn settings... i hope i will get them. i dont think i longer have questions. thanks all!

No problem. Will try and walk you through this.
After you have downloaded either of the JM6 or the JM7, and you have extracted the files, you will see the PDA and the modem files. You will also have to download the relevant CSC file that is specific to your region. Also, make sure that Odin and the PIT files have been downloaded.
Let me give you simple steps to work your way through.
1. Make sure Samsung Kies is NOT RUNNING including in the notification area.
2. Disconnect your phone and switch it off.
3. Start Odin
4. Make sure the three options, "Re-Partition", "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are TICKED
5. Click on the "PIT" button and select the "s1_odin_20100512" file you downloaded.
6. Put your phone into download mode by using the key combination: POWER DOWN + HOME KEY + POWER KEY. When you see the yellow triangle, release all buttons.
7. Connect your phone and wait for the drivers to get installed.
8. Click on the "Start" button and wait for the process to finish. This will be indicated by the words "PASS" with a green background. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE PHONE TILL YOU SEE THE WORDS "PASS"
9. Remove the battery and put the phone into download mode again. (Step 6)
10. In Odin, click the "Reset" button and UNCHECK the "Re-Partition" option and keep the remaining two options CHECKED.
11. Click the "PDA" button and select the file starting with "CODE"
12. Click the "PHONE" button and select the file starting with "MODEM"
13. Click the "CSC" button and select the CSC file which you have chosen. (NOTE: You will have to extract the file from the CSC package you have downloaded and not the actual archive)
14. Connect the phone
15. Click on the "START" button and wait till Odin finishes its process. Again, DO NOT DISCONNECT THE PHONE TILL ODIN DISPLAYS THE "PASS" MESSAGE!!!!
16. If you are using Multi CSC, follow the instructions from any of the posts for JM6 and JM7: "When using *Multi CSC* you need to type *#272*????# after the flash (in dialer). ???? being the current time displayed by phone. For example if the time is currently 6.25pm you need to type *#272*0625#. Then select the desired CSC version from the list and press "Install"."
You should be fine once these steps are done. They might seem very difficult at first glance, but they really aren't. If you still feel concerned about the process, I would suggest reading the entire post again just to familiarize yourself with the process. I was trembling the first time I did this and it turned out perfectly all right in the end. I am sure it will be the same for you.
Cheers....
thanks for the flashing guide for dummies. I think that it is the most complete guide for noobs. thanks again, i will tell you when i am done but now the computer annoys me so i need to wait...

Hello again community. I am writing now from my SGS. Wonder how? (I did not the reflash) I don't know, the phone just booted up this morning. I have no idea how but now I will try to not reboot my phone. I think the logo is broken and the factory reset worked.
I still have the MCR app, but the Quadrant scores around 870, so I am no longer rooted.
Thanks all, I surely will need your help sometime... I consider the rooting now not so scary because I understanded that I can not break my phone completely. I will update to Froyo when it will be official and I hope the problem is not any longer in my phone.
Cheers!
Edit: I found a folder in the internal sdcard named ase that has 2 subfolders. In «resources» folder there are 2 files: playlogos1 which is 0 kilos large and userinit.sh, also with 0 kilos. If I am right this is the reason which stopped my phone to boot. What to do with them?

Relax bro.. You'll live longer
So I am finally in front of my PC, but I don't know if when I will reboot my phone it will work. I have the superuser/MCR and the scripts still in my phone and I don't know what to do. I don't really understand why the playlogo1 and userinit.sh files have 0 kB and they are on my sdcard. I think they have something to do with this.That's why I am afraid of rebooting it... but sometime I will need it and I hope I will not have the problem. Also, if I will reflash my phone with JM6 or JM7, which lag fix do you recommend for me? (The phone sometimes really annoys me)
Thanks in advance...!
I cannot find any development for the 3G version of the Pro 8.4
I bought one today and the standard bloatful ROM on this thing won't even allow me to use Google services... so it is quite useless.
Please point me in the right direction or tell me when a T-321 ROM or Recovery is going to be available.
Very surprised to see zero development for this which is obviously superior to the WiFi-only version.

Hi! I know 100% how you feel. I got a Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 and there were 0 roms for it so I ended up creating the first one. I don't have the device which you have but I can create a rom for you (or at least try to). I can't guarantee if it will work or not but we can use trail and error if you are up for it. Let me know if that's cool with you.

awesome! Thanks alot. I do not have programming skills at all but I have been rooting and playing with roms for a few years now. I be more than willing to try any ROM you would be willing to create for my device.

No worries: I actually am just finishing downloading the stock rom for your device. It's very slow speed from the website. So what I will do is once it finishes downloading I will upload it to google drive and give you the link so you can have a fast download.
As for the rom i'm going to have to do a little bit of research before making it so it will take me a bit. I don't mean to scare you or threaten but if it doesn't work please don't hold me responsible for any damage. Although I don't think anything bad will happen. Worst case scenario I have seen with my tablet is I end up flashing stock again.

Yea, its the Chinese one. That is how I got into this mess...I can access google drive via my VPN service so it should work.
I know the risks involved in playing with custom ROMs.. thanks for the warning though. As long as I have a reliable, non-chinese stock rom it should be fine to test stuff.
thanks so much.

Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes
Here is the link to the firmware: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxUUcfwWqMGYdUh1cmo2eUY2NzQ/edit?usp=sharing
Verify after downloading that the file is 1.22GB zipped
Oh...I actually need a non-chinese ROM.. Im sorry I didnt make that clear.
The CHN one probably doesnt have google account functionality. At least, the stock Chinese model I bought today doesnt. Maybe this is different. I will try. Otherwise, I might ask you to download the North American stock for me if it is not too much trouble.
Sorry for the hassle. What I need is to be able to add my google account and sync data/games.
I will sleep now (its 2:30am here). I'll update you in 7 hours or so on my progress. Thanks!

I tried the second firmware and it worked! Mission accomplished. Google Accounts and services are working (clash of clans has been synced!)
Thanks so much. PM me your bitcoin address and I will buy you a beer.

This firmware is doing alot of random restarts unfortunately :|
Better than nothing I suppose. I will look around for a fix.
Well I'm glad the firmware worked out for you. I'm going to start working on the custom rom today so hopefully I can get it finished by day after tomorrow. As for the bit coin thing, I'm 14 so no can do.
But if you would like to give me a little something how about a google play credit code?
Edit: just saw the thing about the restart issue. I'll look into it as I have no clue why it would do that on stock.

I present the latest stock ODIN firmware directly from Samsung. The current latest is G925TUVU1AOCG. These are for the T-Mobile Galaxy s6 Edge (SM-G925T) ONLY! DO NOT flash this on any other device.
Instructions:
1.) Make sure you have ODIN 3.10 setup (there are many tutorials on xda and youtube for this).
2.) Download the latest firmware zip from below.
3.) Extract the tar.md5 file from the zip.
4.) Add the tar.md5 file to the AP section of ODIN.
5.) Under Options make sure to ONLY select "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time". DO NOT select repartition (or really anything else)!!!
6.) Click start and let it flash.
(Again there are plenty of tutorials on how to use ODIN)
This won't wipe your data (probably). (It didn't during my test but always make backups just in case.)
Downloads:

Appreciate the first downloadable tar. Maybe a better place would be in the Android Development section. Just a thought. (Or original android development. ) Not sure which would be more appropriate but I'm sure a lot more users would see this. Just my 2c. Thanks for the post.

Unmodified stock ROMs do not belong in the android development section so general seemed like the better choice. Any mod, please correct me and move this thread if I am wrong.
Always seem to remember them being in general or Q and A.

THANK YOU for upload to MEGA. I'm getting really sick of the rapidgator spam.
Just when I think I'm getting well versed in rooting, etc. I ask a question like this:
What is the reason to install the stock firmware? I'm rooted with stock recovery flashed.
Thanks!

Lets says the rooting process borked your phone (or maybe you installed some experimental ROM/kernel, etc.). You can still get into download mode but can't get anything else to work right. Flash back to stock and start again.
See how it's useful?
Yep that helps! So, aside from that, if I am up and running - albeit very slowly and with significant battery drain - is there any reason for me to flash this firmware?

Those TWO reasons are exactly why you should try this. MANY, including myself have had the battery drain, lag, and overheating Cured by flashing the stock ROM Firmware.

@SuperSport - you said you flashed the stock ROM - @jamcar is talking about flashing the firmware. Two completely different things. Can someone clarify? FWIW, I did flash the stock ROM a few days ago, but after reinstalling everything, I'm back to being laggy and battery drain.

Yes, I said that wrong. I meant Firmware. There are many reports that the issues go away after flashing the Stock Firmware back on. I was using Smart Switch to do it, but Odin is a great alternative if Smart Switch does not work for you. I'm not sure why your issues returned, maybe the Root is bringing it back, or maybe an incompatible app. I've found a few apps that Force Close on me that never used to on my Galaxy S4 (ie: 'dji-vision' app for the Phantom Drone), so it is possible other apps are drawing too much power, etc...
Okay, that makes sense. I have been having Amazon FC's since rooting. Frustrating but not as bad as it was at its worst. Using Clean Master for the lag issues and Greenify for the battery. Not sure if they counter each other though. Anyway, I will try flashing the Firmware and report back. Thank you again for clarifying.

@SuperSport correct me if I'm wrong but aren't there two reasons for @ShermCraig issues? First would be the outdated build and second would be the recovery deep sleep issue if they're rooted.

Yes, and Yes. But I have heard some report that they Rooted after flashing the Firmware that has the OCG update included and they did not have the deep sleep issue anymore. Although, I believe they replaced the recovery with the original again. I myself have not rooted, so I'm not speaking from experience, just what I've been reading.

So, I cannot access Mega from my office - can anyone possibly put it in either dropbox or drive? DISREGARD - I am getting it by tethering off of my shiny S6 Edge!

I've now rooted, and flashed the Stock Recovery back to my phone. Deep Sleep is working fine. I'll monitor it over the next few days to see what the battery life is like.
Here is the Stock Recovery for T-Mobile Edge SM-G925T.

Lets says the rooting process borked your phone (or maybe you installed some experimental ROM/kernel, etc.). You can still get into download mode but can't get anything else to work right. Flash back to stock and start again.
See how it's useful?

This is exactly the the situation that I am in. I am glad OP posted the stock firmware.
Does anybody know why my phone gets stuck in a boot loop when I try to root. I used the S6 version as was suggested in the root tutorial, everything goes smoothly but then it just bootloops.
Where are the roms at guys I'm trying to build one as soon as I finish fixing my pc
I attempted to root my phone using the Chainfire Auto-root method today and somehow managed to use the 925p edge MD5 file instead of 920p. This caused a few issues, the X-axis was inverted, no service, and a continual automatic reboot after about 30-60 seconds of the phone being on. In an attempt to fix it, I have tried a few things. in many combinations. I have reflashed the stock tar file, cleared cache, factory reset, and flashed the PIT file found in post 12 of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/help/operating-smg920p-t3263325/page3. Unfortunately all attempts have been for fruitless. Obviously the first issue to be tackled is the constant rebooting. Any help would be appreciated.
Maybe flashing unikernel will help, it can be found here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087012055
Just flash it in Odin, if that does not work you may want to try bringing it to where you bought it for warranty.
No luck, unfortunately.

The firmware posted above is OJ7, which seems to be an earlier version than the OL1 firmware. I have no idea why OJ7 would work for you when OL1 wouldn't. (Unless you got a bad download of OL1, which is why I recommend checking MD5.)
If you are still on OJ7, can you try system update and see if that takes you to OL1?

will get that logcat
Saafir said:
Note the time and grab a logcat.
Ok i left the phone at home but i did look at the log cat about the first ten lines all had emmc in them im not quite sure. Well I cant read it lol. when i get home il flash twrp and restore a back up let reboot a few times get a log cat and post it will twrps log cat work? If im lucky i might get a app installed to do it. I no longer got adb and fastboot on my computer but will download if needed.
im waiting for a replacement to get to the sprint store. i flashed stock and took it in rebooting sprint guy tried factory resetting it and clearing cache which got it stuck in the pre load starting or optimizing apps before itd finish it it would reboot and if i kept going id beable get to start up settings thats it. now i can flash twrp still it does restores my back ups and after that itl boot the system i can uninstall or install something or what not maybe 1 min after im able to get into it it reboot. only wifi connects though.
Again i had about all roms we got on sprint forum on that phone worked awesome loved it til the time i restored the efs on 6.0.1 with a twrp thats a unofficial build modded to work on 920p.

Sounds good thanks man.
Seems as maybe a somewhat common issue unfortunately thats happening for s6 as well as sprint note 5 as there are a few threads regarding the same issue. Theres a thread for s6 on this issue and on 2nd page appears as if someone found a fix having something to do with letting it die completely etc.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/help/constant-rebooting-t3287213
I figured my rebooting issue was corrupted data becausr i was transferring from phone to pc to phone and no md5 check. Though now i will use it. Good luck
I love my Note 4 so much that I tried for about 2 weeks to fix it's constant rebooting issue. Went to ATT & Samsung repair center and they couldn't get it to flash. However, it stills turns on, I just generally need to pull the battery for a few minutes to get it to boot.
With that said, I'm not incredibly knowledgeable in this area. I've downloaded ODIN and found lots of resources for the exact steps to follow, however, I'm not sure where I can locate a version of 5.1.1 for ATT. To me, this seems like my only fix for my phone. I've tried clearing cache and factory resets etc. My phone is unlocked. Am I missing anything that you can think of? Can someone link me to a reputable source for the appropriate files?
You seriously cannot imagine how happy I'd be if I can get this thing working again. Thank you!
PS, if you think there is a more stable version than 5.1.1, I'm open to that too.
Bump. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What is your Baseband? Maybe you can't go back.
Heya guys.
Thank you for the link! I seriously googled and browsed forums for days looking for it. I even went to the Android website with a slew of different version but they did not have the ATT versions. Anyway, I'm going to give this a go but still pretty green to it. I was going to follow the instructions from this post - should work right? https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-att/general/expert-phone-trashed-t3573110
And Norbarb, I have no idea what my Baseband version is. I did a quick google to see if I can locate it somewhere but couldn't figure it out. How can I check?
I do appreciate your help.

Can you reboot to recovery?? There's some info there regarding your current setup
Ironically, now I can't even get the phone to turn on. I bought a battery charger for the Note battery to see if that is the issue. I can't get the battery to charge even when it's plugged in. That arrives Monday so I'll update shortly.
Quick update:
Baseband is N910AUCS2EPK3. I'm not sure if that means I can or can't roll back to Lollipop.
Popped in the charged battery from my new charger and it came right on. Had it on for a little bit just messing around with things. After rebooting it myself a few times, it now is reverting back to it not even turning on, even with a charged battery. I pull the battery 10-20 times, hold the power button without the battery to clearly out any remaining electricity and still no go. I have 2 batteries and neither work. So I'm going to let it sit and if I can get it to come on, install Wake Lock.
Does anyone know if I can revert back to 5.1? I'm not sure how my Baseband effects that. Thank you for all of your help! If I can't get this, I think I may go back to my S3 vs a Pixel.

If you have this, you can easily go to Odin and flash 5.1.1. I don't have the link to the LP Odin files, but heres the Odin link for the MM files in OP:
ODIN FILES to get back to EPH5 and latest ODIN
ODIN
Marshmallow full odin file thanks to @mmaku
EPH5 ODIN FILE
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...hmellow-att-server-link-installation-t3407308
Make sure you can be able to stay in Bootloader for a while before you attempt this, because if your phone dies before the Odin flash completes, you probably likely just created a brick.
Here's my How-To in that same thread. I've also used the newest Odin available with same good results.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68620446&postcount=1180
In fact, I'm about to reflash back to 5.1.1 again from latest updates. MM is pissing me off on that battery issue again. I just wish I can keep it there and keep ATT from pushing OTA without me agreeing to it.

Holy crap, awesome man. Thank you. At this point, I can't even get the phone to turn on with 2 different batteries. Tried holding the power button down for awhile and letting it sit for hours and still nothing. Not sure what the deal is with this thing. I'll keep attempting.

Try holding power button, home button and volume up all at the same time while its powered off. If you can get to Recovery screen here, then you just may be getting somewhere. I would then wipe data/factory reset, then reboot again. If this doesn't work, you can then try holding power botton, home button and Volume down at the same time. This gets you in bootloader mode. Once you get there, only way out at this point is pulling battery (to start over) or get started on Odin flashing.
At least I have kept OTA from working, with this debloater from this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294

Thanks. Yea i can't get into recovery or the download mode. I bought a battery charger just thinking my phone wasn't charging them. The first time it started up perfect. Now I can't get it to come up at all. As mentioned, I'll keep trying. Wondering if something else has gone wrong, or if it's software related still.

There should be a zip in here that you have to extract four files to a folder. You will use the Odin exe program to look for those files. Just follow my howto notes I wrote in the link I posted. This is to the Marshmallow stuff. Forget the MD5 and pit file unless you know what you are doing. Since I don't know where that came from, I won't even suggest those 2.

Ironically I'm looking to get rid of Marshmallow because I think 6.0.1 screwed up my phone. It was working great prior to that. So the LP files I have are the MD5 and pit, supplied in the 3rd post. Is there somewhere I should look for LP files? And to be clear, are there "regular" rom files for general use, and then ODIN specific files? ie, you could have a "regular" 5.1.1 file, and then ODIN specific 5.1.1?

With the mess you have, I would think you want to Odin flash a whole new setup. You don't know what's wrong and a partition could be corrupted. If it's hardware, nothing you really could do about it anyways

Got it. I looked around and cannot find the files for ATT. I see them for others I think, but ATT is a ghost. Would you mind uploading if you can? If not I understand. I appreciate all of your help! Crossing my fingers that my Note 4 is still alive and well.
