[Q] Help with flashing rom!!!

Hi guys. Im a noob, first post here and need some help. Be searching all day for how to load a stock rom to my device GT-N5110.
Heres the low down.
Purchased in Australia. No samsung updates applied.
Successfully rooted with framaroot.Was running framaroot for more than a month
Install busy box today in normal mode I think. I chose the safe option.
Edited build.prop product model so I could install Navigon
Navigon working fine
Now..........
Unable to change the product name back using es explorer or file expert.
Thought it would change after restart but device entered bootloop. I think busybox was the culprit. Should have looked up what its all about.
Discovered recovery mode and did factory data reset. Can access odin screen on device too.
Device boots but hangs on language selection screen
I have found and downloaded stock rom for it that I found here somehow
I tried "Mrjraider" tutorial "how to flash back to a stock rom"
but odin crashes whenever I load the rom file and it wont recognize my GN8.0
Computer runs on windows 8. Kies is up to date too. Kies reconizes device but is unable to update or anything
Was running odin 4.43 with AriesVE.ops in compatabillity win xp sp3 with administrator .
can try on a win7 computer tomorrow.
This is the name of the file its about 1.2 Gb....... N5110UEDMD1_N5110XARDMD1_HOME.tar.md5 do I need to rename this or something
There was also a .dll that was in the package, whats with that?????
be looking through this forum all day and night and cant quite find what im looking for. If what I seek is here please point me to it. Or if any one here in Brisbane, can fix it for me,What are your thoghts? PM me.
Just want my baby back working again.

when it comes to phones, Kies and Odin never play nice together, so it may be the same with these things..
get kies completely off your computer, and your tablet, reboot, and try Odin again...also try a different cable and a different USB port if at first it doesnt work properly..

will give it a bash. cheers

soft brick issues

ive been trying to fix this issue on my own for the past 5 hours but just cant so i'm going to try to get help from you lovely people at XDA.
so i tried to unlock my bootloader using CASUAL and it soft bricked my phone failing half way through. now when i try to boot into the OS, it says theres been a fireware problem, reset using kies.
so kies is not compatible with verizon note 2's, awesome, i know.
so i try to use ODIN to flash a stock rom in download mode. and ODIN will not recognize my phone in download mode. ive tried every driver package under the sea and nothing seems to work. and on top of that, when ODIN used to work, it kept failing at boot.bin files and would fail.
so i cant get ODIN to recognize my phone any more, but my computer does, and the files i try to download all fail at the boot.bin file.
any help would be great, i know i can get this phone fixed its just very frustrating at the moment.

for those wondering, i fixed this issue by using another windows computer to find my phone via odin,
then just flashed the PIT file, nothing in the PDA section.
phew. trial and error.

where did you get PIT file?

[Q] Issues with Unbricking

Hi all, I've been a lurker for the past few months and have finally run into an issue that I can't seem to fix without some help. I have a Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 that I tried using a one-click rootkit on (Kingo Android ROOT) and it has soft-bricked my tab. I have already done my homework and found the one or two extensive step-by-step guides, and have downloaded Odin to remedy the issue, but I am having difficulties tracking down the firmware. I downloaded the given firmware from sammobile (it took forever and also, there is no USA firmware listed? I downloaded the British instead), and when I try to extract the data from the compressed folder, it tells me that the file doesn't exist and that I probably typed the filename in wrong. I am all about working things out myself but this one has me stumped; and although I consider myself technologically savvy, I am nowhere near the level of most of you on these forums. Also, I would be fine with just doing a hard reset, but the only mode the tab will boot into is download mode, so I can't do a factory reset unless there is another way (can't access settings, and will only boot to the galaxy tab 3 logo screen or to download mode, neither of which do me any good). Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Keep searching. The USA odin file is what you need to bring it back. I had a Verizon s3, same problem, I had to tear down the internet looking for the file. Finally found it and got it to work.

What I did is just did a firmware recovery in samsung kies, click tools on the top then click Firmware upgradeand initialisation. It asks for your modle I havw the t110 so I type SM-T110 the click ok and it will ask for a serial number, put it in and start the en download. Youll need to put your tsblet into download mode for kies to install

Bricked Note 8 AT&T SGH-I467

I've searched, I've tried but to no avail have I been able to fix my poor note 8..and I'm hoping someone can help!
I HAD a stock 4.4.2 Note 8 (AT&T version I-467) running, and I went with the Kingroot method to root. The device rooted but ran like a dog, and in my infinite wisdom did a wipe/reset to see if that would help.
Now here is where I stand:
1) The device boots to a screen saying unauthorized firmware
2) I can get to download mode (power+vol. down+Home)
3) I can NOT get to the screen with (power+col. up+Home)
I have tried Kies, and it won't take the serial number/model number, and Odin can only seem to flash the boot loaders. I have tried 4 different ROM's from samsung (with different international codes), and none of them are able to update the system (they all fail at about 90%). I've tried the all in one toolkit, and since I can't enable USB debugging at this point, it never recognizes the device as attached.
I've tried manually flashing with Odin TWRP, Phils, and stock recovery,(in the hopes of getting one to take so I could load a new ROM from SD card) and they all fail as well.
When I split any of the system images I can load a boot loader file from them, and it succeeds, but everything else fails.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, or am I completely hosed?

+1 on that, I'm stuck in an exact same situation. No help from Samsung either. After rooting with Kingroot my tab started acting like crazy with flickering screen and random reboots, did exactly like you did.
There are many with similar issue and as per my research most of them have given up. Getting a system image dump from a rooted tab running 4.4.2 might be the only way out. Unless of course Samsung/AT&T decides to release full odin flashable image.

I was in a similar situation from trying to fix a eff problem and took my sgh-i467 to a Samsung Experience Center located in many Best Buys and they fixed it free of charge. They were not able to fix my issue with a corrupted EFF file that is keeping my 4G from working though as I had hoped. If you have a Best Buy around with the Samsung Kiosk in it I would give it a try. I ended up trying a few different ones to fix the eff issue and some of the employees at the Samsung centers were about as smart as a head of cabbage (they laughed at me when I said my Note 8 was the issue and said "you can't have a Note 8 the Note 5 just came out") but some were at least helpful and listened when I told them they have the tools to fix my tab (reflash it back to life) and they did. Hopefully they can help you.

man Im in the same exact situation.. And I cant seem to find any help anywhere. I cant locate a stock 4.4.2 kit kat odin flashable file anywhere for the n5120

Note 7 possibly bricked

Hi all,
so im coming here to ask you for a help.
Yesterday i have read about samsung pushing deactivating update for our notes 7, i have panicked and immediately started with installing TWRP, HydraRom and root to block incoming updates.
But, as i have already found out, my skills with android and flashing are already gone. So i have installed twrp, then rom and tried to reboot but phone was showing a lot of error messages and notification about low memory, which is weird. After couple of hours of seeking i have found out, that i should try to fix /data and /storage in TWRP by converting from EXT4 to ExFat... So i tried it, but phone suddenly died when it was repartitioning and now im stuck with note which is unable to boot or go to recovery. I can get into download mode yet when i try to flash anythin (whole rom, just bl, TWRP) odin shows immediately FAIL!
Does anyone know if there is way how to fix my note 7? I was thinking maybe a PIT file would help, but im unable to find one...
EDIT: Tried methods found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/how-to/fix-samsung-note-7-snapdragon-exynos-sm-t3443753 but no luck, same story with smartswitch as Odin, flash begins but immediately fails and note comes out of download mode.
So I have made decision, that I will add bounty - 50 bucks (will pay through PayPal) to anyone who will find way how to make my note work!

You should return your Note 7 to Samsung. Its safer and if want to do trial and error. I've found it possible to rescue any phone as long as you can put it in download mode ?

I know i should return it, but i really want to keep it atleast as a second phone, anyone has a solution please ?

Before trying to install twrp and custom Rom what firmware were you on? If I were you I'd download the stock firmware from Samsung site open Odin and put phone into download mode I'm sure that will work.

I was on the newest one, with green battery indicator. I have already tried flashing official rom downloaded from sammobile, but odin always only states fail! After a second, meanwhile phone leaves the download mode and gets stuck on bootloop.
When I try to entry recovery phone gets stuck on TWRP screen but doesn't actually start TWRP.
I will send 50 bucks through PayPal to first of you guys, who will lead me to the successful repair of my note!
