Have you tried flashing this file before? It maybe a corrupted download. Please check.

I had flashing issues before only to know that my download is corrupted or when I extracted my stock rom, it didn't finish properly.
You can try reinstalling samsung drivers. What odin version are you using?

i tried version 3.10

[Q] "Firmware upgrade encountered an Issue" ODIN PROBLEMS

This was originally posted in the wrong forum. My apologies.
So after following this link: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-ro...ung-galaxy-s3/ I have a bricked device.
No matter what I do, Odin seems to fail. This is what I think caused the problem in the first place. Also there is the possibility that the guide is way out of date.
So I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to proceed? The device isnt mine and this isnt my first time rooting a device. I just have never bricked anything before.
Here is the log from ODIN from recreating the process in the link above

Do you have an i747 or u747m? Do not flash any more ROMs without knowing the bootloader version installed on your phone. If you phone has a 4.3 or newer bootloader and you try to downgrade it, it will brick your phone.
I recommend that you install the latest version of Philz and flash cm10.2 for the d2att to at least get your phone running so you can determine the bootloader.

And the issue I am encountering is a bit bigger than that, I cant install anything. I cant even flash the stock .tar file I found. I cant get ODIN to do anything except fail? I never even got CWM installed.

Can you get into download mode and stay in download mode?
There is not stock tar.md5 ROM you can flash from sammobile because AT&T never made a stock ROM available after 4.1.1.
Did you try to flash Philz Touch for the d2lte in Odin 3.07 using his tar.md5 recovery file? What about TWRP?

No TWRP either?
Can you provide me a link to that MD5

After digging up the MD5 I have got the phone booting again.
Thank you so much for all your help!

Galaxy Note 8 GT-N5110- Stuck In Bootloop After Factory Reset

Boot loop after factory reset on GT-N5110
I tried to reset the device using Settings>Back up and reset>Factory data reset>Delete all.
Rebooted into a black screen with an Android with a hatch open and a blue spinning thing. It's been stuck in a endless loop of the startup screen with the name and model, which then goes to the Android with open hatch.
I pried the rear cover off and discovered that I don't have any screwdrivers small enough to remove the battery. So I'm wondering if there is any software based fix that I can try.
Holding down Power+Volume Down interrupts the loop and brings up this screen - blogyourearth.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Samsung-Galaxy-S2-Warning-Custom-rom-installation.jpg
I've had the tablet for 2 years, so the warranty is long gone. I'd be open to flashing a Custom Rom/Kernel, as long as I'm able to go back to the default TouchWiz 4.1.2.

Try flashing TWRP recovery, take a backup of your current ROM, and then try installing one of custom ROM .

Have no idea on how to do any of the above, but I'm googling now. Are there any guides/articles on how to do this, that You could point me in the direction of? Since I'm soft-bricked, is there any point in trying to back-up my presumably borked ROM? I've already downloaded my country specific, stock 4.1.2. ROM.
Many thanks for taking the time to help me and I apologize for the noob questions. I know my way around Windows, but when it comes to Android - I'm hopeless

I flashed TWRP successfully, I think...
Stumbled across the ODIN troubleshooting thread and one of the steps was to try different cables. The 10 foot cable I've been using for the past 8 months would only end up with a failure, stock cable... didn't even register. 8 inch cable I bought for my external battery had a successful flash in 10 seconds!

OK so now you have a working TWRP recoveryand you also know what was causing ODIN to fail.
Next step would be to install a custom ROM, check the development section.
if you prefer stock then you ODIN your stock tar file which you downloaded.

Using TWRP, I backed up; EFS, Boot, Cache, System and Data. After the backup completed I followed the prompt to reboot and it booted into Android *happy dance*.
looks like all the user preferences are gone. No more password or background pictures and all apps have been removed from their folders. Basically looks like all the apps that I installed are there and any data associated. But all my preferences and set options are gone.
Going through the apps, I remembered that I had rooted using Framaroot. Do you think that may have been the cause for the soft-brick? Should I un-root and then try the factory reset again or just flash the stock ROM that I downloaded?
EDIT: didn't see your reply when I started typing this out. Since TWRP is flashed. Does that mean it has replaced whatever recovery Samsung had in place? If so; does having it installed/flashed increase the chance of a fairly stress free recovery in case of future problems?

So, it turns out pvsgh is pretty awesome!
It worked! Thank you so much. You rock!
Had to use another cable though. I think I need a new USB/Charge port
After flashing the stock ROM I had quite a bit of left over data like app folders and pictures/screenshots. Went into the stock recovery and did a factory reset from there, which wiped the internal storage back to factory state.
Should I flash TWRP again and use it to backup everything, now that everything seems to be working normal. Or just leave it as is?

You can take a backup that you can use to restore your tablet if you ever get issues again.
Or just follow the same procedure again.
Taking backup is completely a user choice whether he want it or not.

[2015] ODIN failed flashes reflashing STOCK 4.4.2 - Please HELP :'(

Hi there!
I recently bought a N3N (N7505) :good: for mobile drawing. Since I bought it used, I found KNOX at 0x1 and the 4.4.2 it came with was already annoyingly buggy (lags everywhere, packed RAM & phone app FCs). I did manage to root it through CF-Autoroot (I think?) and even put a custom recovery (TWRP touch v2.8.7.0)
The problem is, everytime I download a ROM from Sammobile (md5 checks confirm undamaged downloads), it fails to flash via ODIN (flashes ALL THE WAY till the end and says FAILED - phone reboots perfectly to previous OS like nothing happened) and I'm wondering if I downloaded the wrong ODIN files, or is there something I'm missing?
So, i'm currently on N7505XXUCNL1 and wondering how I can reflash it (or a similar one) to refresh the phone anew :angel:
ROMz, Y U NO FLASH???
Any advice on what ROM would best suit me to refresh my N3N with???
:victory::victory::victory:Thanks in advance!!:victory::victory::victory:

When i'm in Download mode, this is the information displayed

Greetings damadikaz,
I have posted my ODIN logs as an UPDATE on the main post for two separate flashes that both failed.
Any help is greatly appreciated:highfive::highfive::highfive:

Try flashing the latest stock ROM from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N7505/
Looks to me like the flash is failing because the bootloader currently on the phone is newer than the bootloader in the ROM you are flashing.

GT-7100 stuck on samsung logo

Hi,
I woke up this morning and found my phone stuck on the startup logo.
I tried removing the battery and wipe the cache but it won't go past the start up logo.
I don't care about the phone, I wanted to change it anyway but I would like to retrieve some data before. So I haven't try the factory reset yet. Is there a way to save some data ? (my contacts and some data from note everything and task list mainly).
I afraid to try something and wipe all my data.....
Note : when I go to recovery, It says "failed to mount /efs (no such file or directory)... failed to mount /system ......"

Flash TWRP using Odin. Then boot into TWRP, mount the data partition, connect the phone to a computer, and copy off the data files. Hopefully, this method works for the phone.

You mean I have to install TWRP (? Team win recovery project) on my phone using Odin ? Is that correct and then start the phone with TWRP ?
Does my phone need to be rooted for that ? (it's not).
I haven't use odin or TWRP yet but I will try and tell you if that works.
Any advice for how to use Odin and TWRP for a beginner ?
Thanks

So after making a few more research to understand how to use odin et twrp, I tried to flash twrp using odin but it failed. Here is my log :

so what do I do now ?

Use the tar version of TWRP, not the IMG version.

I used this file : twrp-3.0.2-0-t03g.img.tar so it should be right

So I finally tried to wipe the data from recovery mode and it didn't work.
Tried to reload the firmware using odin (N7100XXUFOC2_N7100OXAFOC2_N7100XXUFNG1_HOME.tar.md5) and got this :

Is there something else I can do or is this a hardware problem ?

The sboot.bin file is the bootloader for the phone and could be failing due to the following reasons:
the ROM is not for the phone;
need to use a different USB cable and/or different USB 2.0 ports;
the bootloader in the phone is newer than the bootloader in the ROM;
the ROM needs to be flashed with a pit file;
the memory chip is damaged.
