I was supposed to unpack the tarfile from the zip, but since my computer decided to not recognize the zip and using the rar icon I thought it was the tar itself and flashed it only to realise my mistake as Odin said the flash failed. As of right now, every time I start my device, it says "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." and shows a picture that looks like *Phone**Triangle**Computer*.
Kies emergency recovery does not recognize the device.
Trying to start the phone in recovery mode takes me to the *Phone**Triangle**Computer*.
Download mode > Flashing a stock rom = fail (Yes, it's unpacked this time)
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
P.S. Now before anyone bothers to help me out here.. I know.. I'm an idiot, and anyone who takes his or her time to help out here is my hero for the rest of my life <3 D.S.

see my sig for pit file with odin :good:
Alright, so I got a lot further this time.
I figured out how to get into Download mode again, suddenly I need to press and hold the combo a little while longer than I did before, or it will go to *phone**triangle**computer*.
I got the official firmware into PDA in Odin 3.07 this time around and connected my phone to the computer after I loaded PDA.
I then pressed start and VOILA!!! Thanks fellas!
You welcome enjoy

I post because I 've tried your process on my new tablet A7-50 (android 4.4.2 kitkat) and it worked fine, thanks you very much to Koli96 but the letter indicated on my tablet, it's not H or HV but L.
If someone else has the same it's cool for them, the process "http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-lenovo-a3500-h-t2879208/page2".

However there is a OTA upgrade and the CWM fails to execute it.

error installing super su
I followed the guide step by step it when I try to install super su in download mode it says: installation aborted.
rooting Lenovo A3500H failure
Hi folks,
I followed the procedure but when clicking download in the Smart Phone Flash Tool it goes to "search" and never starts transferring. I have selected Recovery (recovery.img) as required, nothing else.
The tool was started as Administrator on my Windows 8.1 PC.
But i mention one thing: When pressing download a Warning pops up like:
"Not ALL Images are correctly loaded, which may cause boot up issue!
Do you still want to go on downloading anyway?"
As said above, when clicking YES it goes into "search" and nothing happens anymore.
Stop works fine, it does not hang up or such.
The Tablet is recognized on the PC as 3500-H and i can view the data.
I have Android 4.4.2 on the brand new Tablet. Nothing done to it so far.
Who has an idea what goes wrong??
TIA and have a good week.
Hartmut
I just bought an A7-50 A3500-F. Has anybody here been able to upgrade that specific model to Android KitKat 4.4? (I know it works for the A3500-H and A3500-HV, but am wondering about the A3500-F model.)

Flash ROM via Odin (with pit)
thanks for replying
please give me a link to a detailed tutorial (with pit)
and my my phone is not rooted.
Everything you need is in the general section
Reply with help (SOS)
i tried flashing a lollipop firmware with odin v3.10.6 for about 20 times.
all i get is a xmit data write fail.
my phone can't start or go into recovery mode, all it can go to is download mode.
is there a way where i can reset my device completely or just upgrade to lollipop.
my s4 is a gt i9500 and it isn't rooted.
please get me a solution and a decent one.
Thanks for all the help in advance. please help :crying:
Sounds like you have a bad connection
Change your cable and USB connection
thanks dsa i got the fix
I'm having this problem past few days, tried all the links in the Q/A section, dev.. all links were dead.. and managed to found solutions for this problem.
Basically, the tab will stuck on "Samsung" logo and looping for eternity... tried to reflash the rom, wipe system and everything via odin.. will results the same thing...and I thought I'm gonna say good bye forever for my note 10.1 (n8000)...or send for repair (which samsung quoted me ~ $158 for the "board replacement"... but until I found how to get it alive... actually I've no idea what causing my n8000 stuck in the first place..
After a whole day "intensive" searching and everything.. almost all files links in xda were dead.. and finally I found out all the files and solutions..
What you'll need
> Odin 3.xx, can get from samfirmware website
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/30977/N8000XXUDNE5_N8000OLBDNE3_XME/
> Samsung drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
> note 10.pit and efs (extract the efs.rar after download, yes it's i9300 but can be used)
> n8000 rom, can get from http://www.sammobile.com/ or development section. I prefer flashable rom in recovery such as android revolution HD, and place it in microsd.
> Philztouch CWM
(files as attached)
Steps to do the recovery
1. Download odin and extract
2. Download drivers and install.
3. Run Odin, place the following files
- click the PIT button, select the note10.pit.
- click the CSC, and select the previously extracted efs.rar..it should be efs.tar now
- click on AP, for custom recovery, such as philz.. or official rom..up to you.
4. Tick the following menus in Odin
- Re-Partition (optional, some users said no need to tick this would do as well)
- Phone bootloader update
- Phone EFS clear
5. Place your n8000 in download mode, and connect via USB.
6. Click on START button.. and hopefully success.
7. Once finishes, reboot into recovery mode (those who flash rom via Odin can skip this), and install the rom zip file.
Everything should be fine now and your n8000 should able to start properly... that's how I managed to "resurrect" my n8000 tho... hope these helps... mine was n8000 16GB, 3G/Wifi version

Hi there!
I'm new to this and need help understanding what to install under Step 2, which is downloading and installing of Samsung drivers.
I have already unzipped the Samsung driver file but I don't seem to see any installation files. Do I have to plug in my Note to get to this? Or are they installed onto the computer first?
Many thanks, as this could potentially save my Note and save me $500... :fingers-crossed:
boootloop problem
tried all this ,but still my n8000 did not flash through odin properly but failed with error
'Repartition operation failed'
After running odin it says "reset" then the tablet returns to the "Galaxy note 10.1" logo and cycles going black then showing the logo.
When I hold down the power button it shuts off and turns back on again. So no luck for booting into recovery.
Im 99% i'm doing all the steps right.
Thank for your help.
ipoddude95, I have same problem. I tried different computers, different cable, different versions of odin to flash different versions of stock roms. but no success so far...
Similar problem
Hi,
I've got similar problem and I check couple of methods to solve this, unfortunately none was successful.
I tried method described in this thread, but was not successful.
I have old version of TWRP recovery (2.5.0.0). I can load recover but whatever I try to do - clear cache, format data, install recovery using dd it finish with error.
I tried installing new recovery twrp and philz using odin, using heimdall, everything seems to be ok, but when I try to load recovery I've got couple of restarts and then old TWRP loads. I've tried stock firmware, custom, with repartition and without.
I'm guessing that in my case it could be some kind of physical problem with memory.
What I can check more or what to try? How can I determine whether problem may be physical with rom memory?

I have, instead of just showing the initial "galaxy note 10.1" screen it goes to the "Samsung" logo with the animation and cycles through that. Still can't get into recovery.
thanks for the help
Hello, i have also this issue with the galaxy note 10.1 gt-n8020, its stucks on samsung logo and doesnt go any further...i dont have a custom firmware neither the tablet its rooted, i tried with odin having the original firmware but when i press start, after the msg "Start write to NAND" i get a FAIL and ends there. Even with the method mentioned here, still i get the FAIL msg...any Info on this on what might be the cause and maybe a possible fix?Can this be also hardware related malfunction?I cant go into recovery mode, only download mode works...
Thank you for the help, my Samsung note 10.1 note went on boot loop about a year ago , i tried so many different ways to flash it and nothing worked. finally got it working with your help.
only problem i encountered was wen i click on (AP, for custom recovery, such as philz.. or official rom..up to you.) it didnt allow me to put the downloaded file in so i used (i9300_repair_efs.tar)
and it worked..
THANK YOU
You Sir are a pinnacle of evolution! Stumbled on this thread by error while going trough history links in my browser and all of a sudden my brick turned to Galaxy Note 10.1!
Only note, I've used i9300_repair_efs.tar for AP like farhaanwireless suggested and device is restoring as I type this
Thanks a ton once more

Can you tell us exact steps you did? Because I am trying without success :\
Also another thing: the i9300_repair_efs.tar it's a rar and when extracted I get a directory with a .md5 file... Is that file that are you using?
Yes, that md5 was used.....
I've went completely by procedure described in first post, with exception of i9300_repair_efs change as mentioned. For that part, I've used latest Odin downloaded from Samsung web, and for bootloader, I've used Odin 3.05, just to be sure, since there is a button with "Bootloader" written on it
Hello guys. I hope I posted in the right section as this is my first post here. I tried to root my phone (S4 I9505) today,but it failed. Now I'm stuck at the screen where it says to "select recovery in Kies". Can anyone help me? Samsung Smart Switch does not recognize my device. As I searched in other posts,most of the persons with this problem were able to use button combinations. In my case, I CANNOT enter Download,or Recovery mode. This is very important,so please help me.

Any instructions for doing that please? I repeat,I cannot acces download/recovery mode.
FOUND A SOLUTION.
1) I found this thread,and saw a reply talking about a .PIT file.
2)Searched for,and found the said file here
3)Selected the "PIT" option in Odin,searched for the file,and then I pressed "Start". It took 2 seconds to pass,and the phone rebooted without any problem.
