GT-s7562i - Chinese version help

Hello
I bought this phone in China and was stupid enought to try the firmware update with odim using the version for a s7562. As you can imagine the phone did not work and I had to go back to the original firmware.
The problem is that none of the versions I found on internet works.
Well, they work more or less. The phone starts and can even receive calls. Even Kies is able to reconize and update the firmaware.
Problem is that the buttons dont work and the touch screen is erratic, making it impossible to effectively use the phone.
Is there any idea what the problem could be? Wrong version of firmware or something else? If the problem is the firmware, is there any chance that I can find the right one?
Thank you very much for your help and attention. See you!

I guess I figure the problem. I was able to look into the phone specifications and I need the following firmware:
S7562iZCLK2
Does anyone have any idea where to get it?
Thank you

Your best hope is this firmware:

If it doesn't work then I am sorry the best way is to take it to samsung (chinese) center. One of my friend did the same mistake, and he flashed it with stock kernel and took to Samsung for repair.

did you try this firmware, what happened?

As I said we flashed the stock and sent it to Samsung. They fixed it under warranty.

go to sammobile and download your own region firmware. flash it with odin
here guide how to flash with odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/guide-odin-flash-guide-t1671969
im not sure why your phone is modified because different region firmware will not change phone status to modified.

Thanks a lot ! will give it a try. will it cost bricked?

just make sure your battery more than 60%..if the phone lost power half flashing it may hard brick your phone.

Install a custom recovery. Like TWRP and than flash it with odin (download mode) then reboot to recovery and try to wipe everything with it.

Has anyone considered that the tablet may be stolen and we should not give ideas on how to recover it? Contact Samsung and with valid proof of purchase, they may help.

I think it's pretty likely the reactivation lock is activated which is precisely to prevent use of a stolen device. You can't do anything except contact the original owner. If it's legit they can disable the reactivation lock.

Dude, its called odin and download mode. So you flash it manually on your pc. Im not sure if the twrp recovery for T800 works on T805. Idk something will need to link you to that.
To enter download mode: power off device. Then hold power, home, vol down at the same time till a screen pops up. Click yes. Now your in download mode.
Open odin on your pc and connect your tab s to pc. Now click pda/ap in odin and select the tar recovery img you downloaded. Now click start and it should flash

you means that i can instal TWRP via odin just like to flash any firmware via odin
it's correct or not
sorry for disturbance but
very kind of both of ur response
thanks
if you have any of t800 then please tell me i'll try it also
thanks again

Yes you can install twrp like flashing firmware
@Tkkg1994 what twrp did you use for T805?

Actually "Tkkg1994"
i purchased this online and he did't mention this problem and when i got my parcel
i was just shocked
i think he's got this from any abroad country i'm from Pakistan
and many people told me online that it's DEMO device
The problem is
screen is locked with pass code and fingerprint scans
and when i trying to hard reset through recovery mood then error " MDM not allowed to reset ...!"
even i flashed it with odin but nothing happen
ahhhh
that is my problem man (

If the seller is not willing to give the unlock code, then there's a possibility that you are in receipt of stolen goods. Why not disclose the seller's name and link to site?
If you can't do this, there is a possibility your case is suspicious and I wouldn't advise others to help until you prove you have bought the device legitimately.

i know that sir you are not willing to help me
but here in my country there no check and balance
and no one is responsible after that means that purchasing through individually
i'm not talking about ebay , amazon , etc and these are not working in my country
any thing else you want my purchasing i'll provide info MAN
thanks for replying at least

As your purchase seems suspicious to me and Im pretty sure you can buy one brand new from many known sites for really cheap, amazon, etc. Where exactly did you buy this tablet from? Did you get it from a website, or a person in real life. New tablets dont come with fingerprint locks. If you can give me that, then Ill go on in assisting you.

You have this options:
1. Give it to some IT specialist, who maybe can find out whose tablet it is. (maybe send it to samsung)
2. Try to reach the seller.
3. Download the chagallwifi twrp from here: Download link
4. Go to download mode, select AP/PDA and flash the file. it is a .tar file.

Sm-t807a bricked... Kies doesn't support

OK so the att tab s was rooted I, impulsivity, decided to try and flash Xposed through FlashFire. I mistakenly flashed the wrong zip though. I am now left with a tab that only goes to firmware trouble screen. My computer recognizes it, as does Odin. Like I said Kies is saying it doesn't support it so right now I'm stuck. I refuse to give up, so any and all help would be appreciated

can you go to recovery? then only way i can think off is format data thru recovery.

Cannot get into recovery

Explain what the zip was that you flashed?

I flashed the wrong exposed installer..I can't remember exactly which as this was done awhile ago. You answered my original post when it happens I think you said it wiped the partitions?

Was this device running KITKAT or LOLLIPOP?

Yeah this happened a few months back so I'm not sure. I'm going to go with LP , used KingRoot.

Well you didn't reply to that thread.

Wow you're right. I'm sorry I didn't even realize I didn't respond. So sorry for that. I tried those files and they didn't take, I cannot get into recovery and now I'm stuck at this stupid screen

I'm hooked up to Kies on my Mac and it's trying to connect but hasn't, so I tried manually entering is the name and sn . When I do I get up Kies pop-up to check the name I am entering "SM-T807A"

Did they actually flash with odin or just fail?
That screen usually presents itself when something fails to flash.

They failed, I don't remember what was flash to cause that screen. I have no problem getting Odin to connect..I just lack the right files apparently. The only option I see if I have a friend with the same tab so I could try to connect his tab to my laptop and have Kies download the firmware. But like I said Kies on my windows laptop is saying it doesn't support the device

You can't get the Firmware via kies. It's only available via ota or from an authorised Samsung reseller.

OK so I guess I'm SOL ... Thanks for the help anyway

Well I had requested many times for someone to catch the OTA when it came, but not one person could be bothered to make the effort. So now you and others are in this unfortunate situation. [emoji19]
If someone with root can pull the system.img from a T807a running lollipop there may be a chance it would flash.

Yeah I saw you asked that a few times while I was searching through threads. I have even thought about replacing the mother board lol. I got the us cellular variant really cheap on eBay so I don't need this tab but this is my first brick out of all the devices I have owned. So it's a pride thing lol...
So would any exynos variant stock recovery work? I'm pretty sure I was on 5.0.2

It's unlikely any other recovery would work, even though it would be compatible, it will likely just get rejected by the bootloader.
However you've nothing to lose by trying.

Like is had said in your original thread... If you can find a samsung support store or even bestbuy (although the ones around here have no idea what they are doing), they can flash the original firmware for you... The same thing happened to me with xposed, except I installed the right one, it just bricked the tablet, which i suspect is because we can't get any other recovery nor unlock our tablets, all we can do is root them...

I guess I'm lost.. you said odin recognizes it, so why didn't you just flash the stock firmware over?
Nvm just realized there were 2 pages. Did you try getting the firmware from sammobile.com?

[SM-T837V][Combo Firmware and Stock Firmware Files]

Hello Folks!
As soon as I got the tablet I spent a good few hours looking around for the combo firmware to start looking for exploits so figured I would provide you guys with a link to the firmware for free
It was quite funny actually, after I soft bricked and got stuck in a boot loop I realized I couldn't find any stock firmware anywhere either haha, so I spent a few hours looking for that as well.
I have the Verizon variant, I am not sure if it will work on other USA variants or not as I have no way of trying. With that being said, below will be the links. I will provide a rev1 combination firmware and a rev1 stock firmware as well as a link to a modified ODIN for easy flashing!
And with all that being said, the combo firm is good to bypass FRP. You can enable the oem unlock switch but other than removing FRP it is useless as of right now. You can however, mix and match the firmware unlike my S9+. I am currently on stock firmware with a permissive boot.img for example.
If you got questions or need help, well, you probably shouldn't be downloading anything or flashing haha. But I will try to help when I have time. I do not have any current plans to keep this thread going with updated filese as I had to pay for these. If I can find em free moving forward I will re-upload if I can but I typically stay on the lowest rev/firmware I can until I find a root method
T837VVRU1ARG4 COMBINATION FIRMWARE/FACTORY BINARY
T837VVRU1ARGG STOCK FIRMWARE
MODDED ODIN v3.13.1
If you feel like buying me a beer...​

What is the main benefit of this?

In the q&a section someone wrote it is readily rootable with Magisk. Is that not the case?

@elliwigy
Is there any firmware for the unlocked LTE snapdragon. I got the Verizon version but it's not playing nice with AT&T. Any ideas? Maybe flashing the unlocked firmware would help.

I think it's just the tablet, my Verizon one isn't playing nice with my Verizon service. Constantly not switch towers and losing service when full service is available. Or it's a tower problem but my note8 doesn't do it when my tablet does

Thanks for this, have been looking for a couple days for the build.prop file.

If you get permissive boot, try adb verity disable and mod through push pull adb style like we did on Att note 5

OEM Unlock
I have the T837V and would like to ODIN flash your files, but as you know there is no OEM unlock in the Developer Options on this tablet. Are you saying that you can flash these files without enabling the OEM unlocking?
I would like to install TWRP, but I believe this is not possible without enabling the OEM unlock. Do you know if this is true?
Thanks

I am currently working on a root method with the N9 but it should also work on Tab S4 once all is said and done. I actually found the exploit I use on the Tab S4 originally before I started workin the N9. Nothing is released yet as so far have only gained root on S9 Exynos and I am currently super bricked and waiting for a device replacement lol
Flashing other carrier firmware won't help you unlock any bootloaders or anything nor will it necessarily help you root. Only benefit I can see really in flashing other carrier firmware is say if you have an sim unlocked tablet (we'll say it's a Verizon tablet) and you want to use it on say Sprint. You can flash the Sprint software in ODIN and everything should work. It would be like you purchased the tablet from Sprint essentially.
