[Q] flashed official kitkat and kies wont recognize it

After running into some issues while upgrading to an official kitkat firmware I managed to boot up my phone but now it doesnt get recognized by kies even though its official. I also cant see which csc Im on since when I type in *#1234# it simply goes away from the screen as if its been wiped.
any clues? should i flash something else over?

Try flashing this in the attachments using odin the same wayy you did the stock firmware, just extract the rar file and use the .md5, and then do a full factory reset then it should recognize.
forget KIES ( completely useless) ! flash SamMobile's firmwares with ODIN !

Did you put into bootloader mode to flash?
Try another firmware from sammobile you don't say where you are from so cannot suggest which.

k,
that looks odd. you might be booting into safe-mode. research it.
m
another thought, if you are able to navigate to settings there may be an in-house factory reset option
you can try. again, research it.

Help flashing stock firmware in Odin

I am trying to flash the stock firmware in Odin but it always fails. Everything works fine until "NAND Write Start" then it just fails. Any suggestions? I am using the latest version of Odin and the firmware from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge/general/odin-stock-firmwares-t3081165
Did you try smart switch?
Remember reading somewhere in the thread about odin failure and finally getting smartswitch to restore phone.

This is the same exact scenario that everyone else that tries using odin runs into.
Don't think there's anything you can do but wait for a smart dev to figure it out or for Samsung to release the build source that devs need to fix it.
Maybe you have a spare phone to use.

I have run Odin and flashed 5.0 a few times and can get into recovery just fine. But I haven't tried Odin 5.1 though.

//SM-N920A\\ **N920AUCU4EQC6 NOUGAT Full Odin** - Links UP

Some people just post info and never post links . I had firmware for sometime already but i was waiting for other guy to post it. I know we all looking for full Odin files so here they are :

Download Link of :

All this files are in one zip. Unzip and put this in appropriate windows in ODIN.
Here are Odin 3.12.3
Good Luck.
Of course, this will wipe my device again, even though I do not select the CSC?
If you allow it to flash a new system and user data image then yes.
You basically need a wipe anyways going from MM to Nougat.
Sent from my Galaxy Note5 using XDA Labs
I'm already on Nougat N920AUCU4EQC5. I'm just trying to avoid having to wipe my phone
When i use this. It passes Odin then when the phone tries to reboot and install the update it says deleting then im back to 6.0.1. Any idea why?

I'm not sure about security . It was a stock at note 5 until I tried updated to qb2. All dev factors are turned on, and the rar files are all unzipped and loaded through odin in download mode. It passes then the android update screen (the little robot ) says erasing upon revoot and I boot into mm again

OK. Try this , After you unzip from one zip to 4 files , unzip all 4 files to tar.md5 and try ODIN again. Check for any encryption installed on your phone preventing bootloader from overwriting files.

You have to necessarily erase the security lock fingerprints, you also have to remove the password lock, you have not any type of security lock, then you have to enable developer options and type USB debugging(This last one I do not know if it is strictly necessary, but just in case)If you have some security lock on your phone, even if you pray, you will not be able to!

Just a thought, can you Odin flash any other version of the official AT&T firmware? Maybe try another version to see if the phone is truly screwed.
Also, have you tried a factory reset on the phone first. Maybe something (anything) loaded on the phone is preventing the Odin flash. I know this shouldn't matter but it's worth a try.

Question TWRP touch issue

I see that TWRP users have experienced a touchscreen issue, so they need to use an OTG cable with wireless mouse. Does anyone know when will the touch issue be fixed?

Arobase40 said:
I experimented this no touch TWRP but it is mostly buggy excluding the non touch issue there is a bigger issue which is that once installed you can't get out from it as it bootloops into this recovery mode. Flashing a stock recovery won't change anything.
You will have to totally restock your phone from scratch and then re root it and restore all your apps and data !!! ^^
I found out the twrp tree for A52 4G and was able to build a TWRP but obviously I can't test it.
I'm not able to build a twrp for A52S 5G for now as there are missing many kernel modules and other stuffs so I have to build them from kernel source code. So for now I'm working on the device and vendor config files...

Unfortunately, I have tried to reinstall stock firmware, but it failed. Looks like my bootloader became locked. Odin software showed "FAIL". There was a message that I could barely read, so that was the reason it failed to reinstall the firmware.
What should I do now?

So you got stuck in a bootloop after installing twrp. Have you tried just extracting the stock boot.img from firmware AP file and flashing it with odin? I really don't get it why you had to reinstall everything to stock. It's not necessary to reflash every partition if you only messed up one

While the phone is completely off, press vol up and vol down buttons at the same time and then plug in the usb cable to the computer. I had that happen too, when the device fails to boot it automatically puts you into download mode and it says that the OEM LOCK is on. You just have to reboot to download mode manually.

You don't need to unlock bootloader to flash stock fw with Odin.
Your problem is most likely related to something else.
Where did you download your fw?
Have you tried different cables?
What Odin version are you trying?

I don't understand why would it be possible to flash stock firmware with locked bootloader, I thought that locked bootloader won't allow the OS to be reinstalled.

A Locked bootloader will prevent you from installing any custom things, like recovery or custom roms. It will allow you to install stock firmware via odin. Use Odin 3.14 to install firmware downloaded from here. Use the AP, Bl, Cp, and CSC_OXM files. That will get you started from scratch, all previous data and stuff will be deleted.
