I'm trying to flash stock PIE firmware and the tablet gets stuck at system.img.ext4. It never fails and I let it keep running for 20+ minutes. I tried it a second time and no luck either.
Just to confirm, I should use CSC not HOME CSC if I want it to be formatted to clean stock right?
Any idea what else could be wrong?
Ahhh, noob error. I was using a USB-C to USB-C cable.
I used a USB 2.0 and all is well, flashed smooth.

Tried to root my GS3 tonight uding Odin 3.07 and the root66.stock_Telus_I747MVLALH1.tar but its just not happening. on two different computers (win7) I can plug it in, Odin sees it, starts the flash process, starts writing, gets to the system.img.ext4 part and then randomly fails. Sometimes the bar gets a few pixels in, sometimes it gets almost half way and it goes FAIL and Complete(Write) Operation Failed. Seems to be totally random when in the process it does it.. I've tried different USB ports and I'm using the factory USB cable.
The phone won't boot normally anymore. Depending on how I power it up it either says the Firmware is corrupt and Kies has to restore it or I get the GS3 splash screen that never goes away. Kies never connects to it so I can't flatten it that way either.
At this point I just want a phone back. I don't care if its stock or rooted.
Any ideas?
Managed to get it to take on about the 30th try but endless acore crashes. I think I've got the LE8 on when I should have the LH1. Would that make a difference?

Did you flash LE8 or LH1? LH1 is the latest for Canadian carriers I believe. Did you get an OTA notification?
My phone was working fine today until I took it out of my pocket and it was stuck at the Tmobile Note 2 screen. I tried multiple times to restart it and no go. Tried to go into my TWRP recovery and it appears there is no recovery.
I tried Odin tonight with the rooted stock file on here and keep getting no pit mapping. I tried with a pit file I found and it just gets stuck. From what I'm reading through google, it appears to maybe be a hardware problem. Does anyone have anything I can try? Phone was running Octos Rom with no problem for months.

See if you can Odin just a recovery image and then try to boot to recovery. I think I have a few different recovery .tar files for T889 if you can't find online. You may also want to try a different cable if you continue to get errors connecting.

I actually did try that, tried stock recovery and TWRP, both say no pit for mapping. using the tar from sammobile I did get it to start downloading one time, it went for like 45 minutes and then finally said failed at probably 3/4 along based on the bar graph that was showing on the phone. That worked after I switched USB ports on the computer although I think that was just a fluke as I tried again after it failed and kept getting the same message of no pit for mapping.

How old is your battery? This may sound crazy, but I thought my phone was toast several months ago but when I changed to a backup battery that I had all was fine. Also, try restarting your computer after you change USB ports. It may help to get Odin working properly. I have a copy of a CWM recovery that's worked for me to get me out of some similar issues. You can download it from my Dropbox here:

Hope that works. Good luck!
Hello all, I have a rather large problem.
I erased the entire OS in my S6 and now it only powers up to the initial boot screen. I can get into download mode, but when I try to use Odin, it fails to flash the firmware. I do get the "COM4" indication, but no success with the flash. The phone is rooted, however, I cannot even access TWRP.
Has anyone on here experienced this issue or do you have any idea on how I can correct this issue?
Thank you in advance....

please explain how Odin fails. what does it show?
try flashing the firmware twice in a row without rebooting between flashes. sometimes firmware doesn't stick after the first flash. or try Odin on a different computer.

Have you tried using a different cable?
How about trying another USB port?
Are you sure your using the right system image?
What is your model number
Who is your provider..??
This has happened to me with my laptop. Thought I tanked my phone hardcore. Was able to flash stock tar with odin, from a different computer. Not sure why my laptop doesn't work, it just doesn't keep the connection. Can't even maintain a connection to do a data transfer when everything is working. Blah!
Thanks all for responding, I will attempt it this week sometime and give you an update.
I do not remember what Odin actually says, it has been a couple weeks now since I last attempted to fix it.
Try using both Odin 3.10.6 and 3.10.7
So for the last week my note 2 would just do random reboots like once or twice a day, then started to do few times a day and now it goes to Samsung note 2 screen and sits there. I popped out the battery and went into recovery mode cleared the cache tho sure did nothing.
The phone has never been modified or rooted in anyway. I've owned since new. Is there a fix for this? Sorry I'm a newb. If the phone is toast I do have insurance on it so not worried about that. Just wanna know if I can either fix or if not can I get the data off it somehow?
I've included a pic of the screen...
Thanks!
Try flashing a stock ROM via Odin.
I have the same exact issue. It happened randomly. No root. Stock ROM. I tried flashing stock rom via odin but it fails.
<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/004> FAIL!
Anything I flash fails with nand write. I'm about to lose hope :S
Are you using the original Samsung USB cable? Tried different USB cables and USB ports? Post the complete Odin log?
If the phone is no longer usable is it possible to recover my data at least?
Hello!
Few days ago i found my Samsung Tab 3, and decided to charge it and biit it up.
It got stuck on Samsung logo when i booted it.
So i did a factory reset using the recovery mode.
After i did that the device booted up. with lots of errors.
I was on the setup screen for my device and these errors appeard and said like core has stopped working and every like preinstalled app on my samsung device aswell (NAME has stopped working). So i was not able to fullfill the setup of my device.
I read about it online and a firmware upgrade could fix the problem ( Like the easiest way i read )
So i did some googling and downloaded Odin and a firmware. Followed a guide and did everything right. BUT the process faild like 8min into the flash.
And now my device is stuck on "download mode" but with the error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I cant get the phone to turn off, nor get into recovery mode or anything else. I tried flash again but no luck.
I also tried another firmware i found. still same problem.
How do i fix this and how can i use my samsung tab 3 again.
WHen i bought it years ago i never really used it. So it's in "new shape" and has never really been used. And now i wanna give it to my little sister for some kids games to play at Xmas.
I hope we can solve this problem.
Thanks in advance

That depends on various things, such as the Android version, kernel and change ID. Than also the Odin version you've used and/or the settings during the attempt of flashing. I found that using the wrong Odin version on a particular Android version, that may prevent the flash of being successfull. B.t.w, did you format both user and cache partition while trying to reset to factory default?

Yeah, I've found out what Odin version to use that worked for others. I've downloaded lots of different firmwares and such and tried. ALL fails.
When i did a factory reset i also cleared cash and user.
Now i cant even turn off the damn thing. If i charge it up and start, it just goes directly to the screen where it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" and if i try to turn it off, it just reboots and goes back. And i cant even return to factory reset page.
I think that my Micro-USB cable might not work for this, or is that a thing? Do i need a good cable from PC to Phone for this? Or does any cable work?
I just want this tab to work. been trying for weeks.
Thanks for your reply. I hope we can sort this out.

It is quite easy to turn the device off, for that to happen you have to press and hold the on/off button. You'll see that the device will shutdown and try to reboot and then finally shuts down again and stay off, then release the on/off button.
Are you sure trying to flash the correct firmware with correct changes, etc??
Please share with us the device and Android version, as well as the stock ROM version with changes you're trying to flash.
Put (copy and paste) the output of Odin below.
Another way to get the firmware flashed is by using Heimdall, but for that to happen you first need to rename the extension of the stock ROM (remove .md5 and leave .tar) and than extract all seperate pieces that are contained within the stock ROM.
All those extracted pieces from the stock ROM you have to upload seperately onto Heimdall and try to flash them to your tablet, one by one.
Heimdall you'll find 'here' or use FWUL instead which has Heimdall pre installed, download is to be found 'here' and install it on a USB medium a stick, to put FWUL onto USB, use Balena-Etcher and the download is to be found 'here'.
Micro USB cable does work, but if you're unsure, try another one and make sure using the correct drivers too.
Using Odin, make sure the tablet is recognised and 'connected' in Odin, also make sure 'repartitioning' is unchecked.
If you've used the wrong Odin version, flashing will fail!
You have Discord by any chance?

You're welcome.
Hi, complete novice here, does anyone know where I can get a working Firmware for my Tab 3 v7 (SM-210)?
I have searched through various forum articles here, and tried to install with several builds but none will install. The only one that gets anywhere near is the JASBR build by gr8nole. It appears to install, but on restart, the TAB just sits on the "Samsung Tab3" start screen.
I read that I may need to flash the firmware 4.4.4 (Kit Kat), but can't find it!
The unit is not totally bricked (yet), as I can run TWRP 2.8, with which I created a backup of the original build, but when I try to restore the backup, it fails at just over 31%.
Can anyone help please?
