Galaxy Tab S help (SM-T807P)

Hello,
I have ran into a huge problem with my tab S and I have been trying to fix this problem for weeks on end. The problem is I can't seem to flash my tablets stock rom without it giving me some error message saying "invaild ext4 image". I have done some research and from what I've found I need the PIT file but I can't find it at all. I know you can extract the PIT file from your device but I don't have access to the OS right now, just ODIN and my custom recovery. The OS is 4.4.2 and the Version is T807PVPU1ANK1 before It messed up. I have also tried to flash a higher OS version like 6.0 to the device but every time I try I get a message that says "Image file too large 5000 > 54466" or something like that. The device was not rooted before it broke either. This tablet is very expensive so If someone could please provide me with the PIT file for this device I would greatly appreciate it. (Image below is what the error is)

When Odin fails like that it usually means the firmware is not correct for your device.
It seems here you are trying to flash a very old kitkat firmware.
This may not be allowed by the bootloader if you are attempting to downgrade.
Try the firmware below. I also advise you upgrade your version of ODIN to at least 3.10.6

I assure you that (SM-T807P) is the correct model number because I wrote it down and made sure it was correct. Unless you have the PIT file for the device I doubt I'll get it working again. It needs to be re-partitioned while the OS is installed because no matter what I flash I get the same error.

First, thank you for finding the pit file for me. I flashed the firmware in Odin along with the pit file but this time I got a new error message I'm beginning to think this tablet is not going to recover now. I've tried three different firmwares one gave me the "invalid ext4 image" while other firmwares gave me the error message "Volume Size is too big 5120000 < 5929600"

I would use Smartswitch or kies to download your firmware to ensure its correct.
Select firmware upgrade and type in your model and serial.

It doesn't need to detect it, just type in the model and serial and it will download the firmware.

I think I know why I get an error when I flash firmware now. The pit file I flashed to my tablet wasn't for the 10.5in version it was for the 7in model. I don't know if the 10.5in and 7in share the same pit file but if they don't then that's my problem.

Thats the serial for the battery. Try downloading Samsung phone info. Im not sure if it gives the serial or not, cant remember.
Also not sure what you mean about the pit file, its definitely for the t807p?

Hi. I have the metro pcs variant 10e. Our oem unlocking in developer options has been hidden/disabled/missing. Is the a10f the same as far as my metro variant? Also when trying to get into bootloader mode the phone vibrated and a little yellow exclamation ! symbol appeared at bottom of my screen right above the charging port. What was that exactly? This is my 1st A series device
Click to expand...

even if its the same you cant unlock the bl or root as its a usa variant and its not allowed.
the yellow symbol you see is normal.. its an indicator for the charging i believe to indicate slow charging for example

you do know flashing combo firmware now requires factory approval in the form of a token right?

I don't really follow Samsung much anymore, when this was posted the phone was new and I had access to both and both firmwares weren't available anywhere so I posted it in case it would help someone.

I have metro ASK4 firmware currently on phone. I found official ASK1 4 file firmware . When trying to downgrade I get SHA256 error. So locked bootloader prevents it? Cant even downgrade. What can I look into as far as changing property values sys.oem_unlock_allowed 1 temporarily if anything? I do apologize if my questions annoy the more experienced members. I used adb shell setprop and it added it but theres 2. One with 0 and one with 1

That's because you spelled it wrong bro lol.. it also doesn't do anything unfortunately and reverts after you reboot the device.
You cannot downgrade.. most time even on unlocked bl's downgrading is not allowed.
If you mean you found a lower firmware on same rev that's a different story. You get sha error because you need a modified odin that has the sha checks disabled.. or you can use something like chimera tool

timba123 said:
Lol I see my spelling error now. I think I was really burned out trying to learn and figure out stuff. Is there any decent links on how to patch SHA256? I tried many web searches and little results
Click to expand...

huh? thats not useful at all lol.. theres already pstched odins all over the internet.. it doesnt patch the firmware, it patches odin software so it ignores the sha256 altogether

timba123 said:
Yes there are many patched Odin's but not a patched 3.14 version. My device will not work with any odin lower than 3.14

i forgot lol.. i also have an a10e but i use chimera tool and it works fine and no sha checks if u select that ootion

it does/doesnrt.. u cant just flash combo firm to the device, it also has nothing to do with odin or chimera.. samsung implemented security so combo firm cannot b flashed unless you have a token for it.. without it u can only flash stock firmware.. if u got acombo token tho then yes, chimera at that point could flash combo no problem

Thank you for your effort to help me but the exact problem im in is thus. j337r4 is frp locked to my old gmail that was hacked so i abandoned it and made a new one. I have yet to find a method of frp bypass that works on this one so i resorted to combination rom, however none of the combination roms for this exact model j3 that i can find have worked. they dont even flash, odin fails them after 10 sec and phone has new red message under normal download mode message that says "sw rev check fail" in red and that current binary is u4 but the only combination roms i can download free are u1 and u2 binary.

My frp says off when I go into download mode what does yours say? Try OEM unlocking the phone in Developers Option settings. Then let me know if you still have the issue.

G965W FRP lock

Hello all. I recently recieved a S9 from a friend that said it was FRP locked and thought I could fix it. But every single combination file I try to flash to it, I always get a "FAIL!" message in Odin. I would assume it isn't working because the most recent OS is installed (which is G965WVLS7CSJ6 i think)? If someone could help me out, that would be wonderful.

So, where can I find the combination file for my version? Because I've looked all over the internet with no luck
Edit: I think I found a website that I can maybe use for the combination file. Would any of them work?
URL: https://romdl.net/rom/samsung-galaxy-s9-sm-g965w/#combination-files
Edit 2: All the combination files links are dead. Would there be any way to downgrade the phone then flash a combination file?

Samsung galaxy S20 Ultra Super Image needed?

Hi,
Can anyone help... I bricked my S20 Ultra SM-G9880 and tried using odin3 to flash firmware but it is asking for the Super Image so fails the process.
It say on screen; An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software but when I download this it says the S20 is not compatible.
Please can anyone help it was a lot of money?

first off, what did you do to brick an expensive phone? Is it because you can't wait for the update to come along that you tried switching different Firmware without back reading some threads beforehand?? i'm not here to offend you or belittle you, in fact we have the same device and variant, HK- SM-G9880 to be precise.

I was trying to change rom to HK instead of Taiwan because I thought it might get rid of the chinese writing and be more western friendly... Wasn't really thinking... it was an expensive mistake.
Is there away to fix?

You probably have to read this topic about samkey so just dig this thread and read about the samkey. How it can fix your phone depends on what youll choose otherwise i can still suggest using samsung switch from pc and do an emergency installation but as always find a topic about it first and do the most suitable thing for you.

Hi thanks for comment... I flashed odin but it didn't remove lock. Maybe because it is a modern phone? I have given it to a local phone repair shop so hopefully they will fix for me.

Hi Folks,
I posted this thread and just wanted to thank everyone who offered advice. I have managed to fix the phone now.
I flashed latest firmware with Odin and included .PIT file i extract from the CSC file.
So pleased to have it back!

Many thanks to @[email protected], this method worked as a charm.
