Boot loop after SD card problem - can't reinstall stock firmware - Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers

Turning to this forum in desperation after many failed attempts to use Odin to reinstall the stock firmware for my SM-T830.
Like others, my previously perfectly-functioning Galaxy Tab S4 got stuck in a boot loop after attempting to move apps to the microSD card. Unlike many others, I have never tried to root the tablet or do anything with TWRP, custom firmware and the like.
I have got the tablet into download mode and tried using various versions of Odin to attempt to reinstall the stock firmware files (BL, AP and CSC successfully downloaded by Frija - no CP file exists for this device), but Odin always gets stuck at the "SetupConnection" stage and then eventually fails with a "Complete(Write) operation failed" error. Possibly an FRP lock issue?
I've tried several different USB cables for this. Any help appreciated.

Hi, did you find a solution to this?
Have you installed the Samsung USB drivers?

Nope, no solution yet. Yes I had the drivers installed and the tablet was showing up fine in Odin.
I've taken it into a shop to see if they can fix it.

[Q] Not able to load anything via Download Mode - ODIN on GT-I9192 Duos

I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Duos - GT-I9192 phone.
Last week I was updating the phone via a OTA update and the phone suddenly stopped updating mid-way, restarting the phone got the phone to start but stuck on the initial Samsung logo and not beyond. Eventually after several retries, phone would only vibrate and nothing displayed on the screen. I can not even get into recovery mode.
I am now able to get into Download mode only with the following information displayed
ODIN MODE
Product Name: GT- I9192
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2
Write Protection: Enable
Over the past one week I have tried the following with no success
1) Downloaded the official firmware for my device/region from Sammobile and tried loading via ODIN (3.10 and 3.07), after waiting for an hour (On Initialization status) or so ODIN terminates with a Fail message and a error mentioning " No Partition Detected/ PIT File missing
2) I have tried with a PIT file (attached) but it does not proceed beyond Initialization status on ODIN either
3) Tried the same thing with CWM file and Auto Root files for the GT-I9192 but does not move beyond Initialisation and/ or Setup Connection step in Odin
I have now tried on Multiple computers, with different cables and USB ports, even tried connecting to Kies to see if a firmware can be loaded that way, but no luck.
Would appreciate any suggestions / help on what else I must try or do differently. Please help.
That pit is for serranolte your device is serranodsd now search for the apropiate pit file.
First try installing latest firmware without pit
If don't work try with apropiate pit
still doesnt work
Thanks fburgos I found a PIT file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53003227&postcount=4 (attached)
and another one shared by SilviuMik at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620621&page=2
But Odin still stuck at Initialization for both (attached screenshot)
I have tried the Odin option with Nand Erase checked as well but Odin doesnt proceed beyond Initialization.
Of course the stock rom doesnt install either via odin - I9192DDUCNL1_I9192ODDCNH1_I9192DDUCNL1_HOME.tar.md5
Same issue - stuck at Initialization.. fails after a long time.. with missing PIT file message.
Any other ideas?
Use both pit and firmware, in the same process
tried that as well, same issue with ODIN, stuck at Initializing
Do you have any progress? I have the same issue on my GT-I9192 . Odin has stuck in initializing.
No luck.. phone is still "bricked"
Let me know if you find a solution please.

Tab SM-210 won't boot anymore, even after installing stock firmwares

Hi,
I recently got a SM-T210 from a friend to repair. The description given was that their kids factory reset the unit and won't boot anymore. First the tablet had the death sleep issue which is a easy fix. But after that the tablet simply continues to show the "Samsung GALAXY TAB3" boot screen and never finishes booting.
As I'm known with Odin I simply downloaded the original firmware from sammobile for this tablet and took the firmware version for the Netherlands as that's where I live. There are 2 4.4.2 versions available and downloaded them both. When using Odin 3.09 and higher I simply cannot install the firmware, but on Odin 3.07 it can. Although it installs the tablet still fails to boot properly and hangs at the tab logo as described earlier.
With Odin 3.09 or higher I'm not even able to install the firmware as it says that there is no PIT file and NAND flash write fails. I've found 2 PIT files for this tablet on the forums and even with the use of these PIT files it still errors with the same issue and installation seems impossible with these versions of Odin.
I've also tried installing TWRP recovery but that won't boot either. When booting the tablet with volume key up it shows the Andriod icon with the spinnng "intestines" and alot of red error messages show not able to find /system and /data. My guess is that this is pretty bad, but that is what I want to fix with the stock firmwares and/or the PIT files (LT02.pit and T210(R).pit).
I'm currently out of ideas to revive this tablet and almost start thinking that it's completely dead, but before throwing it in the garbage bin I'm wondering if anybody here is able to help me further with this issue.
If you think you miss critical information, let me know so I can supply it!
Any help is greatly appreciated and thanked for!

Nothing to loose so i should give it one more try with Kies. I remember that years ago i had a problem with a samsung phone and even Odin wasn't helping me. I did it with Kies then which fixed it. No garantuees though.

Thanks, I've tried it with Kies but it won't even recognize the tablet. When I put it in Download mode and connect it to my computer the Kies welcome screen keeps switching every 2 seconds to the connecting screen, back to the welcome screen and keeps on going like that.
Any ideas left?

Except for correct drivers etc etc not really, no.
I am facing same problem.
My Tab 3 (Sm-T210) has gone too.
Now I can't restore it.
I have downloaded Stock ROM from sammobile.org,
but I can't extract this properly.
It always says that "files are corrupted".
I am also going to be hopeless as like as you.

HELP -SM-T805 (807A for AT&T) failed ODIN CF-AutoRoot now won't boot, can't recovery

HELP -SM-T805 (807A for AT&T) failed ODIN CF-AutoRoot now won't boot, can't recovery
Hello Team,
I have 2 Devices, SM-T807A (AT&T USA) running Marshmallow.
I have downloaded the newest CF-AutoRoot and Odin V3.10.6 as instructed.
I attempted to flash the devices using CF-Autoroot.tar by clicking the "AP", I made Sure I only selected "Auto-Reboot" and "F Reset Time".
It loaded the image, started the process and gave me an error, "NAND Write Fail".
I tried the second device now, different cable, different CF auto-root download, same options, same result.
The device rebooted and now I am stuck at the screen asking me to connected to Kies to recover the device.
I connected to Kies and Smart Switch to do an "Emergency Recovery", and both devices cannot be seen to be restored. I used 4 different cables, all ports on a Mac and Windows device.
What I have attempted:
- To refresh a stock firmware, Tried the germany vodafone version and the swisscom, both failed
- Attempted to reflash CF auto root several times with many different ODIN versions, same result
- Attempted to flash TWRP to use a different recovery method, fails as well
What happens now?
- Device won't boot normally
- Recovery mode brings me to the Samsung error screen (Power+Home+Up)
- Download is still working but that's just about it
- Knox has not been tripped
- Device info shows that Official Samsung boot loader and image are both installed
This is not my first rooting, but I am completely out of ideas on what to do to fix this? Any thoughts?

Unfortunately the bootloader is locked on that device, so it can't be rooted with traditional tools.
It's simple enough to recover from this error.
The firmware is available on the forum.

Odin stuck at recovery.img (SM-T520)

Hello,
I tried rooting my SM-T520 today using Odin but I get stuck at recovery.img. I tried various possible solutions:
Different version of Odin: 3.09, 3.10.6 and 3.14.1
I tried 2 different cables, including an official Samsung cable which I used to succesfully root 1 other Samsung device: Tab Pro 8.4.
I tried different USB ports (including ones directly on the motherboard)
I tried different computers
I reinstalled the drivers and tried with an without Samsung Kies
I also tried flashing TWRP directly instead of flashing CF-Auto-Root
I also tried Heimdall but there I have issues exporting the Pit file
Having tried a lot of different solution with no succes I have no idea where to go from here.
Does anyone encountered a comparable issue and has a solution for it or am I doing something wrong?
I appreciate all the support.
You need root to get TWRP...
Also if you get root some how, then use Flashify.
To Get Root, use KingRoot temporarily, and then use flashify to get TWRP. And finally you will have TWRP.
If this doesnt work or you need more info then just reply to my REPLY .

Erase some apk with adb and stuck on reboot

Hi! I hope some one knows how to restore apk on a Galaxy S9 plus
I was trying to get rid of Bixby and erase some apks using adb app control, I have a backup of the apks in the computer, the problem right now it's that the phone has many photos and most of them are important , I would like to know if there is a way to avoid wipe data/ factory reset, via adb or Odin.
I'm stuck on loop after the operator logo.
It doesn't boot in safe mode.
I already have android 10 ROM but I'm afraid that if I flash it with Odin , it will wipe the user data, if there is way to Just update, or restore this files please let me know.
Thank you very much for you help.

Hi! I have tried several times, and I get failure to start, the phone is detected but the flash doesn't initiate, sometimes I get this screen, sometimes it says fail .
I have installed Samsung USB drivers, from the
Samsung Android USB Driver | Samsung Developers
You need the driver only if you are developing on Windows and want to connect a Samsung Android device to your development environment over USB.
developer.samsung.com
And Odin from here
Patched Odin 3.13.1
For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...
forum.xda-developers.com
I used the original Samsung USB cable and tried the 3 USB ports in the laptop
What else can be happening?
Thank you very much!

did you try booting into the download mode twice?
Once and then again and then start the odin.
I had to do that.
I had to flash the official firmware myself because my phone keeps crashing on the homescreen.
Didnt solve it but I did flash it properly.

go to the recovery.
connect to the PC.
open odin.
click on "reboot to bootloader"
It should go to to download mode.
what does your download mode screen say?
When I was doing this process I tried reflashing the latest rom but that didn't solve my boot loop issue.
So I flashed an older version of the rom.
Make sure the version you download is compatible with your phone.
You have G9650ZHU9FUG2 so only roms with 9 will work.
I flashed that old version and it didn't work, phone still stuck.
Then I flashed the latest one again and then my phone worked.
I used odin from the link you posted.
Odin3 v3.13.1
actually what i would suggest is downloading/re-downloading samsung usb drivers. otherwise most phones won't respond to odin even in download mode without it

Hi! Today I have successfully flashed the exact firmware that the phone had ( there is no newer) using a different laptop (it's true if the problem persist with Odin, use another laptop)
I got success message, at the very first time, and when the phone reboot, nothing , stuck as it was before, so I erased cache partition and no luck, still stuck on reboot, I have also tried repair apps , and reboot sistem now, what else should I do?
Thank you very much!
Hi! I want the community to know that using the APK adb app for Samsung it's a bad idea, after successfuly flashing the firmware and performing a factory reset several times the phone remain stucked, I downloaded about 10 different firmwares and flash them all times without an error, and the phone was bricked and stuck in boot. So I took it to the official service and nothing, still the same, then I found an external service that flash the device with a little box that they said they paid in advance for credits for using that box, it took them one full week to revive the phone, also they had to flash it several times. In conclusion, if you buy Samsung, stick with the garbage apps the throw, if you mess with the system in some way as the official technician said, the phone will be nearly unrecoverable for privacy benefits for the user. Thank you very much for the help to the community!
