http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/samsung-lollipop-range-tab-s-t3021612
Installing Lollipop Firmware
Instructions:
1. Download the needed firmware from above.
2. Download Odin_3.10.0 from the attached file below
3. Open Odin, select AP and than select your firmware.
4. Make sure you have installed all samsung drivers
5. Shut down your Tab S.
6. Open download mode by holding volume down, home button and power button.
7. Connect it to your PC.
8. LEAVE EVERY THING AS IT IS IN ODIN, OTHERWISE THERE WILL BE A CATASTROPHE (If you select something wrong.)
9. When your tablet is connected, there will be a blue box in odin.
10. Hit start and wait
11. It will reboot and you will get the latest firmware from samsung.

So I was in Download mode, klicked on Start in ODIN.
After one minute, this is what followed:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The Tab hangs in the Download mode screen...
USB connection does not work, PC is not recognizing the tab anymore.
Power off does not work, no chance to power down or reset the device (have to wail 'til battery is empty?)
Anyone knows what to do?
Thanks!

Got ya, it must be a bug with Tapatalk. It looks like you did everything right, I followed those same instructions to flash my SM-T700 and I had no issues. I'm sorry about the brick, I've done it once and it's upsetting for sure.
Edit- Did you make sure you had all the drivers installed correctly and the PC detected and installed everything?

Hidden.img part of that file fails unless have a vodafone locked tablet. This was VERY well explained. Flash the latest T805 UAE firmware and it will be fine, no loss of data. READ BEFORE YOU FLASH!

Dang, I missed that part. Ok so, that is the deal, but how do I reboot the device? It's stuck in Download Mode since yesterday evening. Any Idea on this?

Restart with the download mode 3 button combo then flash the UAE firmware.

You're almost there, you have nothing more to do than boot to stock recovery then wipe the cache.
The tablet will then successfully boot to lollipop.
POWER +VOL DOWN + HOME to restart then immediately change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME.

For reboot you can also press and hold a few seconds only 2 buttons HOME and VOL-

Ok I finally managed to get into download mode again. So i'm in Odin Mode. But please, can you explain why I should flash the UAE version?

I can't boot to stock recovery. I only managed to get into download mode. Recovery is not working.

UAE as it flashes nicely it's got the highest change list and it's clean - no bloat. I flashed it earlier today.

UAE is the country code for United Arabian Kingdoms, but I have a german device. Well it's not going to be worse than it is, so i will give it a try. Thanks, I will report back.

All you have to do is flash one.

I live in the UK, the firmware region makes little difference apart from that it can determine the bloatware you get. You will get offered the next OTA from the region you are in: but you can always manually flash any newer ROM.

Thank you very much all. I got it working, POWER+VOLDOWN to resrart, instantly HOME+VOLDOWN+POWER to switch to Download Mode. Connecting to PC, flashed UAE version with ODIN. TAB runs good now! Apps and Data were not cleared/wiped.
Thanks again!

Rooted Elephone P8000 stucks at Boot Logo after OTA Update

Hi there,
The phone is rooted.
I've proceeded with the latest update today (~12mb size), don't remember the exact version.
It said it fixes some system bugs, etc.
After the update installed the phone won't load, stucks on the changing color logo.
Cannot access the recovery mode option in the boot menu (Vol+Power), says "no command", if press and hold Vol+ and Power again the phone restarts and enter the boot logo again.
Has anyone ideas how this can be fixed?

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/help/boot-loop-ota-upgrade-t3246203.
Post #16 describes how get into recovery from the 'no command' screen, and my post #12 describes how I managed to get it flashed using the SP Flashtool.
(Note my point no,5 - all I needed to do is press 'Download' first, THEN attach the powered off phone.)
Good luck!

Thanks a lot fot pointing this out.
Managed to get the recovery options menu.
However wiping the cache didn't help.
After doing the "root integrity check" got this:

do you think this can be fixed w/o reflashing an entire rom?

Oooh. Brighter minds than mine might correct me, but I think the bootloop is only fixed with a ROM flash

Actually, what you need to do is format the data partition or write the empty data.img file over the data partition which in effect does the same thing. And the later one is also what happens when your download entire rom using sp flash.

In that case you probably need to flash the system.img and maybe even the boot.img from the latest rom. Elephone really should stop sending out these broken OTAs...

I didn't read official forum. However you do loose your warranty if device is rooted, thus the device manufacturer owes you nothing. OTA worked fine before I rooted my device.
Btw, I got my phone back to life by re-flashing the entire ROM, just in case.

The only thing you need to do is reinstall the añl the system with spflashtool. Never and remember never you can update any android with a ota if you are a rooted user.
If you speak spanish you can search in the youtube channel AndroidMxL to ser how you can reinstall the original ROM on your android.

Relocking was a bad idea, you just ran out of all options.
I'm not sure if there is any way around enabling OEM unlocking.
Try the previous suggestion.

Snapdragons are truly unbrickable. But I'm not sure I know enough to help.

this is what i see when i boot up

I'm fairly sure fastboot boot <image> doesn't even work if the bootloader is unlocked on the op3.
Also, it looks like recovery did get flashed.
Try rebooting to recovery?
Power off by holding power button, then hold vol down + power.
Then if you are booted into stock recovery, just side load the stock ROM.

PROCEDURE
1. Download the zip file from the above link in your PC and unzip it.
2. First, enable the developer option in your zenfone 5. To enable developer option, go to 'about phone' in settings and then go to 'software information' and click 'build number' seven (7) times.
3. After clicking build number seven (7) times, go back to settings menu and there you will find developer option menu. Just click it and scroll down untill you will see "android debbuging". Turn "android debbuging" on.
4. So after activating android debbuging, now shut down your phone.
5. Once your phone is turned off, now go to bootloader mode.To do this Just press power button + volume up button together untill you see asus logo. This will open bootloader window.
6. Now, connect your phone to your PC. (After connecting your phone to PC, open command window and type " fastboot devices " (without quotation mark) and hit enter. If your device is listed there then you are ready to go. Now close that command window which you have opened.)
7. Once your phone is connected to your PC, now open tool folder (which you have downloaded from the above link and unzipped it).
8. Now click on "unlock bootloader(DroidBoot)" or Click on "Unlock bootloader + install twrp" (if you want to unlock bootloader with twrp installed)" and click on run.
9. Now a command window will pop up, all you need to do is just press any key to start the process.
10. Once the process starts your phone will reboot several times, don't get panic.
11. This entire process will take roughly 2 minutes.
12. Once it's done now press any key to close the command window. YOU HAVE JUST UNLOCKED YOUR BOOTLOADER.
Now after unlocking bootloader, check your screen whether it's freezing or not. And also open the camera app to check whether it's working properly or not.

Again with this "just re-lock your bootloader" solution... What if you don't want to do so? (i.e. you want to keep a custom ROM/kernel?)

Note 10+ SM-N975F/DS very very HARD BRICK --- Advice?

After years of flashing roms (and lurking here, especially DrKetan´s thread), I hard bricked my brand new SM-N975F. When I power it on, it goes to the screen that tells me the bootloader is unlocked, then to a welcome screen, and that is where it stays. (see pics).
I have tried the following:
1) All possible hardware combinations. (I tried at least 100 times all combinations between the keys): always the same.
2) Odin3 does not detect the phone in either screen.
3) Samsung Tool 300K does not detect the phone.
4) ADB does not detect the phone. (adb devices comes empty)
I am about to get a hammer and wreck the little guy, but I decided to ask you first.
Any ideas?

Thank you! I was on stock ROM (Q), with an unlocked bootloader. I was flashing TWRP for Android Q with Odin. It "Pass"ed, and when I rebooted it bricked. Tried every key combination, I can´t get into download mode and the phone is not recognized when connected to the laptop. Tried several cables, too.

you should put the phone in download mode and reflash stock from odin.
reboot [down+pwr] when the screen shut down immediately put the usb cable in the phone usb port (the other already in the port of the pc) keeping the vol down till enters in download mode.
you cannot flash just the twrp partition, you have to flash the disable verity check as well. otherwise the bootloader dont't allow the bootstrap as the integrity check fails.
follow the dr.ketan instructions (carefully).

Thank you! I tried Dr Ketan´s instructions, but no matter how hard I try, I can´t get to the download mode. I followed your instructions but the phone does not go to download mode, it just shows the "bootloader modified" screen, then the other one. Odin (nor Samsung Tool 300K) do not recognize the phone at any time, not even for a second, so I can´t flash anything to it.

Sm-n975f hard brick - solved
I hard bricked my SMN975F by uploading the wrong TWRP. The bootloader was already unlocked, but the new TWRP for Q bricked it.
I solved it by sending the phone to a Samsung repair shop. It took them 24 hours (and about 70 dollars), but they were able to flash the bootloader, and the stock Q rom.
Moral of the story: if your Note 10+ is hard bricked, there is a solution. You can try the advice given to me above by these useful members, but if that fails do not toss the phone. Go to a Samsung service store, and they will be able to fix it. Thank you all for their help!

You f##ked it real good but not a hard brick as far as I'm aware. (I may be wrong)
Hard brick is only fixable with a new motherboard.
Well done on getting it sorted and that's great service from sammy

I know you said you tried 100 times, different combinations, by any chance was this - Press and hold the Volume Up + Bixby / Power buttons. - one of them? It should boot into recovery mode not download mode. I had a similar issue, I had to try and try until I was able to get into recovery, from there did wipe data/factory reset several time, and then select reboot to bootloader, then flash the latest firmware(since you probably wont know which booltloader you have on it). Also remember to used the recommended Odin by the XDA team.

Try following alternate way.
- Turn Off Phone, if unable to turn off, wait till battery drain and off itself.
- Press and hold the Volume up and the Power keys at the same time for 3-4 seconds.
- This will bring you to Recovery Screen.
- Use Volume Up and Down Button to Navigate and choose Reboot to bootloader by pressing the power button.
- You are now at Download Mode.

Thank you for your feedback. I had tried that, but the recovery screen did not come up. The method you suggest will work for most cases, but in my case I had screwed up the recovery itself by flashing the wrong TWRP.
Moral of the story: do not flash the wrong TWRP, because it may corrupt your recovery, and then getting to download mode is a lot more complicated.

I agree with you, real good. It may not be a complete hard brick, as the repair guys did not open the phone nor changed the motherboard. Still, it was as bad as a soft brick can get....

ust buy a z3 and fix it lol

Samsung Smart Switch
As far as I know, Samsung Smart Switch is the only method to recover your phone. Download it on your pc. Launch the app and connect your phone. Choose to recover bricked phone.

I bricked about 8 different phones with the new A/B thing before I learned TWRP doesn't work and the fix was to flash the stock boot.img to both partitions with:
./fastboot flash boot --slot all <nameofboot.img>

Download the modded version of Odin. Here's a link to it in my Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=10F5bh4YmD0vAduSMfuqF7jQl4ho1s83a

I have the same issue
Sm-n975f hard brick - solved
Guys I solved it. I pressed Volume down + Power, as soon as the screen turned off I quickly pressed Volume up +Volume down as I inserted the cable and voila! Download mode. Now I can reflash stock firmware
That was a very close call.
