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 updates applied.
Success 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.
Discovered recovery mode and did factory data reset. Can acces 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 in 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, wtf 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.
Sorry, wrong section please delete mod
If I'm not mistaken, remove Kies, then try using Odin. Also, dll is a Windows file. I could be wrong about Kies, but I think I remember reading that it conflicts with Odin.

Yesterday I installed same firmware in my computer runing win7 with Odin and Kies installed at the same time without problems. You don't need to rename the file, dll is a library for windows and needs to be on the same folder as the md5 file. Just remember to put the Note in download mode in order to get the firmware installed by Odin.
I have a thread in the development forum with the only file you need just flash in odin and done.

Tutorial is ok, problem seems to be elsewhere.
I have Windows 8 (x64) too, and Odin works i my case, i successfully flashed (and restored counter) N5110 before returning tablet to shop (it was exchange for N5100). Kill all Kies components via task manager, i have two more things in processes when i quit Kies. Next, try another version of Odin, but I remember one ROM from SamMobile, which crashed every Odin i had, so its may be this problem. Try another version of ROM - older, if exists. If crashes Odin too or not exists, try uninstall both Kies and Samsung USB driver, dowload toolkit from xda (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251033) and install new driver via toolkit.
In rare cases may be problem in your computer, so try another one without installing Kies. I wish you luck.
Edit - That big file is ROM, dll is not needed for Odin. Run Odin, press PDA, select your rom. Turn tablet off, connect to comupter by original or hi-quality short cable, set tablet into download mode (hold vol- and home, press power on for 2 secs, select continue by pressing vol+). If all is ok, first field in Odin change color to yellow (i think), then press "Start".
Thanks to all. Let you know how I go. Odin 4.43 keeps crashing when loading the rom, on both my win8 laptop and fresh installed win 7 pc. Uninstalled everything from laptop except nero. Nothing installed on pc except modem drivers and Samsung drivers. I will redownload the rom. I think it may have become corrupt. Cheers
ok success. this is what I did. eventually got the rom to sit in odin without crashing it by simply renaming file by deleting the .tar.md5 extention. clicked off the file to save the rename. Right click on it again to rename and type the extension back in. Loaded it in odin and it worked. File name in odin showed up with duplicate file extention eg .tar.md5.tar.md5 but it worked. Odin 4.43 would not detect my device. Senior Moderator Mskip toolkit for Samsung galaxy note 8 would not detect my device .This was very frustrating
Used odin 3.07
loaded rom in pda. Found in janjannsen99 development thread.
connected device ,odin 3.07 detected it, unlike 4.43 for some reason.
clicked start.
Walla. Im a happy man.
This is the kind of story that are the most scary. Now I am kind afraid of root my note 8 or do anything unofficial.
Anyway, best wishes to you.

That's what I use odin 3.07 . Don't use the other versions for some reason they don't work
Secondly guys when you download that file in my thread tO your computer it has to be extracted first you only Click PDA In ODIN and use the file you just extracted with the tar md5 extension. Thats it. That ss.dll file has no purpose its just there and you need not even bother with it.

I have checked that, but I don't see US Note 8.0. The search seems broken to, since United States is not shown in the list of country for Note 8.0

people keep posting to go to sammobile but every time i look there isn't a rom labeled for the US, and they dont give an explanation of what rom would be the equivilant or even if any of them would be. Should I use UK version? is it the same as the US?
I'm having the same exact issue as OP and I can get into download mode and i have odin 3.07 but i am just looking for the exact rom to load and cant find an exact answer so far. I've already messed up my tablet enough today so I don't want to flash the wrong rom and make things worse lol.

ps I looked for janjansen's thread in development and did not see it, am I missing something? anyone got a link?
ok I did some more reading around the web and found that a lot of people used the UK version as I kinda suspected. Would have been nice to get confirmation on that but its cool, I flashed it, no problem, and now I'm setting up the chainfire root and getting back all my apps. So all in all it took a few days but I'm back on my feet *sigh of relief*

Hello all *waves*
This is my very first post although I have used this site countless times. I'm just going to jump right to it because I seriously need some help!
I am trying to fix my SGH-M919 (Tmobile S4) that just suddenly stopped working one day. I have tried EVERYTHING! Kies, custom roms, Odin but my phone still will not load past the Samsung logo. It will boot into recovery (TWRP) and Download mode. I know that using Kies is the quick fix but (LUCKY ME...not) my phone is one of the few phones tmobile/Samsung sent out with no S/N on the sticker under the battery. Since I cant get into my phone I cant get the S/N and I do not have the box anymore.
I have tried using the many sgh-m919 Stock Rom files online, including this site, but nothing is working. When I spend hours downloading them and begin to use them in odin, Odin doesn't load the file for me to flash.
I know I am using Odin correctly because I have done it successfully countless times in the past. I have also tried EVERY download file out there, but I can't find a good one that I can flash in Odin. I have also tried all of the guides on this site several times so please don't redirect me to them, because I have seriously and correctly tried them all. If you have any suggestion please let me know. I can't afford the 161.00 Samsung is requiring or the 175 warranty fee tmobile is charging. PLEASE HELP.
And if some has a good copy of the Stock Rom for SGH-M919 that they would be willing to email me I would FOREVER be greatful!
also my sdcard and battery are not the issue.... tried that too
Thanks,
Nikki
Were there any symptoms or anything you may have done out of the ordinary that might or might not have caused the problem? By saying that odin will not load files, is there an error message or what exactly do you mean by that? And what version odin are you using?

I don't know if its something I have done wrong or not. I followed all of the instructions to the letter. I think (but am not sure) that I don't have a usable copy of the Stock Firmware.
I am using v3.10 but I have tried them all.
When I click on AP in Odin, then click on the file I am sent back to Odin, but the file (and filename) doesn't appear in the AP box like normal.
The stock firmware files take a while for odin to validate md5 check I think. Select your firmware file in Odin's selector, then wait a few mins for bit to process before giving up. This time lag surprised me first time I flashed stock firmware. Big file means longer wait!

The longest I have waited has been an hour, do you think that I should still wait longer?
Try different version of odin. Even if the file was bad, it would say something
Try a different pc.

Good evening folks. I hope I'm posting in the correct place.
First id like to start off thanking everyone for whatever help I can get. I know I've come to the place where I can get some help.
I apologize in advance If I'm lacking any info in my post.
I REALLY NEED HELP.:crying::crying::crying:
I have a rooted metro pcs galaxy s4
I have recently started having a really slow phone. Slow is a understatement actually.
Everything freezes up and I cant do anything with it. I DO have root access.
Anything I try to do such as enter the phone settings, an app or simply try make a call just seems to take a ton of processing power and eventually glitches or freezes up and force closes themselves.
It reminds me of a computer that doesn't have enough memory in it.
I installed some app in the play store that required root access called adjbrightness and ever since then my phone has been crazy slow with apps and services crashing.
I cannot be certain this app had anythinto do with my problem though.
I cant even make a call Its soooo bad.. GGRRrrrrrrrrr......:crying::crying::crying:
I installed one click kango root about a month ago and definitely haven't had any problems until about a week or so ago.
Since then iv tried everything. I'm pretty good with android phones too. I'm always helping ppl fix slow phones or computers.
I fear I may have force stopped or disabled a critical system function or service by accident.
Iv done the following already...
-Factory reset first then uninstalled the root.
-Ever since I unrooted today, I am unsure if I can or should or even could do a factory reset now. Because if I try to do it upon reboot, a warning states that installing custom roms can be damaging to my phone. Um.... Yikes!
-I formatted and removed my SD card.
-Prior to unrooting I did do factory reset several times without results.
I'm really freaking out.
I know this was something that could happen upon rooting as a risk I was taking.
I feel this issue was somehow due to the root access ultimately and that something in the rom (or what not) is glitching badly or some code is just missing.
- I never installed custom rom or messed with the rom that I know of.
-I never messed with any kernels or clocking methods because that's all too scary for me.
-I really didn't mess with things I didn't understand.
I rooted mainly to save battery and ditch some factory bloatware. I'm sure yall can relate.
Oh and I didn't download anything from porn sites, don't worry. HAHA.
Pleeeeeeese, please PLEASE, help lead me on the right path and I will be your best friend for ever.... I just haven't a clue what the issue could be. :crying::crying::crying:
Thank you so much for any and all help in advance.
THX!!!!! K++
---------- Post added at 04:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 AM ----------
I would suggest you download the latest metropcs firmware for your device and flash with Odin. Don't worry about the warning, it's supposed to say that. Hopefully you don't have any important info or media that you haven't backed up. If so, back it up before you flash. After the flash, boot straight into recovery and do a factory reset. After that you will start off fresh and your phone should be back to normal

Just saw this right now and if you still need help I might be able to help. I'm also on MetroPCS. That firmware you downloaded is a t-mobile one and I'm not sure what version it is but download the stock one from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...tock-base-metropcs-4-4-4-fni3-galaxy-t2899701 then flash it in Odin . After flashing it set it up and all that stuff and do the software update. It'll update your modem to NK3 which is the latest. I'd say use it for about a week and see if it's good or you can just root it right away if you want. I used CF auto root for M919 to root my M919N (MetroPCS version of the S4). For recovery I use TWRP jfltmo. After that just make a backup and keep it on your computer or SD card just incase something happens again so you can flash the backup. If you want to flash a ROM I recommend Hispasian ROM (currently using) or Insane Hybrid. Both are really stable and fast ROMS.
Howdy folks, I want to start off saying that Thank you so much for helping me. XDA is a awesome place.
"lordodin" is helping me with this issue in another thread i created although I amgetting anxious to figure this out as i cannot make any calls on my phone and today's my day off work. I hope I am not being too rude by posting my question here too.
-Im following the instructions in the official T-Mobile SGS4 thread in order to run odin here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2258628
I have odin 3.9 (and 3.07) and know to select the tar file with PDA/AD button.
although i cannot find the tar file.,
I know the fix tp this lies n the step requiring me to extract the tar file from the 7zip/zip archive,
yet I see no file with that 7zip/zip name or extension to do so. Im honestly tried everything AAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGG!!!
I downloaded all files needed.... triangle away, odin zip, and the mdl zip.
I placed all rooting files on desktop to locate easier and I am always running odin in admin.
I see the issue was solved somewhere else by completing the step requiring to me to extract the tar file from the 7zip/zip archive this step is confusing the heck out of me.....
I even download the 7zip unpacking program from the web hoping it may recognize a TAR file I may have missed with no avail. . Is 7zip a file type?
When i unpack the odin file all i see is the following
-Odin3 v3.07 (or the 3.9 version respectively)(application)
-Odin3(configuration setting)
-tmax.dll(app extention)
-zlib.dll(app extention)
As i said "lordodin" is helping me in another thread with this very issue which is super appreciated. Thx lordodin!!!!

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong forum here, but I wasn't sure where to start.
I got an ATT Note 8 unlocked running Nougat that would not come up on the Verizon network using my working SIM card. I had read that there were known issues with this and that an upgrade to oreo would fix things. Googling around I found an upgrade zip file from N950USQS2BQK2 to N950USQU2CQL1. I used the recovery method to upgrade from that file and at first things seems to be fine. I started having lots of issues with apps dying, eg Contacts, Phone and Bixby and started to wonder if perhaps the OS could be further upgraded. I hunted around and installed the samfirm tool and downloaded the file
SM-N950U_1_20181126150901_ouxwmh265r_fac.zip and extracted out all the parts. Using Odin (13.1) I tried to install this file but it got hung installing
system.img.ext4. Realizing that it would likely cause problems I powered off the phone after a couple of hours with no progress. As expected the phone was pretty pissed off when I tried to boot it up. It was stuck in trying to upload a crash file and took a lot of fiddling around to convince it to go back to download mode, thanks to one of the posts from this site I was able to make it work.
I've tried the same file again and it is stuck again at the same place. So the question is should I be using a different file? If at all possible I'd just like to run the standard Verizon load, in hunting around it seems for the latest Oreo I should use N950USQS5CRK1. but I can't figure out where to get that file in the format that Odin uses I've looked on the firmware.science website but have only come up with the zip version that would work with the recovery mode. Unfortunately with the state my phone is currently in I don't think I can get to recovery mode. It is in the endless upload mode, hitting the down & power button will shut it down but it comes right back to the upload screen. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the rambling post.

Download this odin firmware and FIRST extract it one time and the files for odin will be in the extracted folder and flash. You must flash AP, BL, CP and CSC all at the same time. Fill all the slots in odin.

Thanks for this. One question, I had the same issue the last time, there is a CSC and a HOME-CSC file included in the zip archive, which of these should be used with Odin?

if I wanna odin without losing data I use home instead of CSC correct?
I would suggest also using Samsung Smart Switch before doing it. It gives you the option to back up pretty much your whole phone including just about all your apps, settings and customizations to an SD card. It also saves your custom icon groups too if you do that. The it makes it a breeze to restore after doing an Odin flash. It has helped save me a time or 2.
Eta: After rereading the OP, looks like you may not be able to use this as you need to be able to boot all the way up.
Right, I was not able to boot so smart connect isn't an option, but luckily it's a new phone so no data to transfer. I did run into an issue using Odin with USB C on my laptop to the phone, I think that is how I got into that predicament in the first place with Odin downloads failing to complete. Works fine with USB 2.
Phone is all set now and working fine. Thanks for your help.
Hello everyone!
I'm really new here. I hope this is the right place to ask.
Last year I bought an A505F from the internet. Unfortunately I got (kind of) scammed, since the device was from abroad and it was rooted. As I further found out, the current IMEI is from another phone. So I couldn't sell it because people really look at that stuff (smh why didn't I ). So I decided to make the best of it.
Last week I decided to Update the firmware. I don't know spesifically what kind of firmware there was before. After a bit research and hoping not to break anything, I downloaded the official firmware, matching the version on the phone, from Sammobile (A505FDDS2ASI5) and flashed it with Odin. I tried but didn't succeed to flash the latest firmware at that time. Some italian guy on youtube said that the firmware you want to flash has to match with some version of something on the phone. So I did that. Spesifically I extracted the zip, and assigned the BL, AP, CP and CSC (not HOME) files each to their corresponding field in the gui and hit Start to flash it after I put the phone into download mode. It successfully loaded the firmware. After I did that, I upgraded the phone via OTA to Android 10. I was very happy that I finally had Android 10 on my A50 and could do this fancy multi-tasking gesture from the navigation bar . Because I was the whole time at home, connected to WiFi, I didn't notice the problem. When I went out, I saw that I have no service. No call, no mobile data, etc. So my investigation continued. I then found out that there is something with the modem (?), the CP file I am flashing (?), that it has to be up to date and that OTA updates don't update that? So I went ahead and downloaded the latest firmware from Sammobile (A505FDDU5BTJ2) and flashed it as described before. Both times I carefully selected the version matching my region (TR). Unfortunately that didn't help either.
So now I am stuck with the latest firmware and an "Emergency Calls Only" warning, not being able to do anything. The IMEI is still there. I can check it with *#6...
When I go into Network Operators under Mobile networks and hit "select manually", I get "Error while searching for Network". And when I hit "select automatically", I get "Unable to connect. Try Later."
Other than that, everything seems to be okay with the phone.
I would really appreciate any help. I'm out of town thus, not gonna be able to give it to some service.
Also, all this firmware, partition, modem, etc.pp.-world... it's really exhausting to understand. Everybody is saying something else. There really should be a unifying approach to this..
Sorry for the long post

Last year I bought an A505F from the internet. Unfortunately I got (kind of) scammed, since the device was from abroad and it was rooted. As I further found out, the current IMEI is from another phone. So I couldn't sell it because people really look at that stuff (smh why didn't I ). So I decided to make the best of it.
Last week I decided to Update the firmware. I don't know spesifically what kind of firmware there was before. After a bit research and hoping not to break anything, I downloaded the official firmware, matching the version on the phone, from Sammobile (A505FDDS2ASI5) and flashed it with Odin. I tried but didn't succeed to flash the latest firmware at that time. Some italian guy on youtube said that the firmware you want to flash has to match with some version of something on the phone. So I did that. Spesifically I extracted the zip, and assigned the BL, AP, CP and CSC (not HOME) files each to their corresponding field in the gui and hit Start to flash it after I put the phone into download mode. It successfully loaded the firmware. After I did that, I upgraded the phone via OTA to Android 10. I was very happy that I finally had Android 10 on my A50 and could do this fancy multi-tasking gesture from the navigation bar . Because I was the whole time at home, connected to WiFi, I didn't notice the problem. When I went out, I saw that I have no service. No call, no mobile data, etc. So my investigation continued. I then found out that there is something with the modem (?), the CP file I am flashing (?), that it has to be up to date and that OTA updates don't update that? So I went ahead and downloaded the latest firmware from Sammobile (A505FDDU5BTJ2) and flashed it as described before. Both times I carefully selected the version matching my region (TR). Unfortunately that didn't help either.
So now I am stuck with the latest firmware and an "Emergency Calls Only" warning, not being able to do anything. The IMEI is still there. I can check it with *#6...
When I go into Network Operators under Mobile networks and hit "select manually", I get "Error while searching for Network". And when I hit "select automatically", I get "Unable to connect. Try Later."
Other than that, everything seems to be okay with the phone.
I would really appreciate any help. I'm out of town thus, not gonna be able to give it to some service.
Also, all this firmware, partition, modem, etc.pp.-world... it's really exhausting to understand. Everybody is saying something else. There really should be a unifying approach to this..
