Can't flash, can't root, can't sleep

I have been at this for a week now. I've tried Heimdall 1.1.1, 1.3.2, AND Odin3 v1.83, v1.85, to reflash the stock Verizon firmware on my Galaxy Tab SCH-i800. I was an idiot and flashed U.S. Cellular firmware, which changed the boot animation and the cell service text. I've scoured the internet on how to do this and everything I've tried has failed. With Heimdall, whenever I plug in the stock files to the program (in 1.1.1 only, I can't figure out 1.3.2 for the life of me) and hit Start, I get "Failed to access device. Error: -12" I'm getting my files from SCH-I800_VZW_stock.zip, it's been extracted. When trying to flash a .tar file with Odin, it works successfully, then my phone goes into bootloop. I can get back to Download mode, but every time I try flashing a stock .tar, I get the same results. I'm starting to go crazy. Anyone help?

maybe you have missed with your partions? if so, i think you need a specific pit file for this stock rom, i dont know where it is, but you might start looking for it.
edit : look in this thread, you might find it useful http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-940046.html

Did you properly install the Samsung drivers on your PC using the heimdall utility? And you put your Tab in download mode?

The Problem may lie with youe Heimdall setup.
Make sure you have Keis installed. Then make sure you activate the drivers for Heimdall.
This is a great rom to flash to your VZW Tab. follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325469

[Q] MF3 suddenly cannot get into safestrap recovery.

Searched but and found similar posts but with different phones or different firmware, so the file references were of no help.
Basically I had safestrap working, had flashed google play edition ROM and it was working great with the exception of the play store not wanting to connect. I was in the process of messing with that and read (here) that I needed 4.3 edition of that app, I checked and I had 4.2, so I loaded 4.3 to the Sdcard and installed it..
Phone rebooted and just stays on the samsung custom splash screen indefinitely . I can get to ODIN on the phone, soI tried using https://builds.casual-dev.com/jodin3/ to get access and see what I could do, but it keeps telling me to unplug and plug in the phone, and gives an error that it cant mount the device.
So, im kinda stuck, I didn't use ODIN to do anything previously, But considering its the only thing I currently have access to, I guess its my only hope.
Been fighting this a few hours and getting pretty dejected, I had almost everything PERFECT.. and now back to WORSE than where I started.

The 4.3 edition of SS doesn't work on 4.2. Does it stay on the splash or does it go to the actual boot animation? Also, you don't need to boot into the phone to use odin, it's a PC program. You can google "mf3 tar files" and you'll find the thread with the ODIN files, use them to get back to stock.

It sits on the Samsung custom screen, that's it.
And how do I use the ODIN files.. When the ODIN program won't do anything except tell me over and over to in plug and plug in the phone?
How do I "use the Odin files" ??

Did you install the Samsung USB Drivers? Google that and install them, then plug in the phone and run the program.

I *think* I already have installed them but I'll double check just in case, I have android file transfer installed, it does the same, I'll try it under windows in instead of Mac as well.

You put platform tar in the PDA slot right? Also, you might have to restart between flashes or just load them in all at once.
There's a picture on this post with what options you should have: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46955352&postcount=7

Make sure the file you download was full and that it extracted the whole platform file. Other than that i'm not sure why it wouldn't work..

Ive downloaded it twice, Ive tried flashing it under windows 7 and OSX. Same result.
I would be happy to try a different platform file, but I cant find any others.
One oddity, the ONLY Odin program that can see the phone is Jodin3, the web based version.
Ive downloaded 1.85 and 3.07 (windows) have updated the samsung USB drivers, have updated the heimdall software... they cant see it.

Seems like it's not installing the drivers right. I'd try installing again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555 or just manually go into device manager and point it to where you installed the drivers. Also, you might have to wait a while on any version of ODIN (even the we version) for it to finish checking the file.

OHHHH ****!
You were right, it was the USB drivers, I had to do it via method 3, I.E. manually select them.. for some odd reason the installer DID install the drivers but the device showed up as someting totally different than when doing it manually.
flashing now... will see what happens:laugh:

ITS ALLLLIIIVVVEEEE!!!!!!!
Ok. so, now I cant start over lol!
Thanks for all your help, everyone!!

So you are using 3.07 and you can put it in download mode ? Are you then able to have the device recognized by odin ? You are then trying to flash the same firmware that came on your phone stock ?

Did you do a checksum on the file you downloaded? I tried installing a modem on my i337m, same thing odin failed... downloaded the same file from a different source and success... unfortunately there was no md5 number on the file to do a checksum or I would have done that first.... when it comes to stuff like this I alway do checksum if the md5 is provided... (most times it is)

Download checksum tool from here http://download.cnet.com/MD5-SHA-Checksum-Utility/3000-2092_4-10911445.html its free. Then you find the md5 number on the site you downloaded from and use the tool to compare the numbers, typically you navigate to the directory the file is in (this gives you the md5 number, then you copy paste the md5 number from the site, then click the compare button, if they don't match your download is not good and should download again and repeat the checksum.

Soft bricked from failed ota update, odin failing me, any help for a noob?!?

Been having an issue with my ATT S7 when it goes to do some kind of OTA update and fails, then my apps start randomly crashing and of course I decide to reboot. When I reboot I get stuck on the white att screen. This is the second time is has happened, first time I just did a factory reset and was back up and running. Well today it went to do an update, update failed and I am back at a white screen again. I decided to start researching what the newest firmware was and can’t seem to get a straight answer. I also have no idea what bootloader I am on and so on…From what I can tell is PK1 is the newest firmware am I right?!? No idea where to check what bootloader I have…
So I decided I was going to just install everything from this thread in hopes to cure my issue https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/pk1-odin-files-t3522168
I downloaded all the files, deleted .rar off the end so Odin would recognize the files (did i do that right?), plugged all 4 files in to the right spots and tried to flash them. I’ve used Odin plenty of times and haven’t had any problems before but I am far from an Odin master. This time I just get stuck at file analysis. I’ve done the normal dumb stuff like latest drivers, get the same error on Odin 3.10.6 and 3.12, ran Odin as admin first then set phone to download and plugged it in. Odin is definitely recognizing my phone as it says added. Just can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong and want to get this damn phone on the latest everything so it will quit downloading updates and taking a **** on me. Any help is much appreciated!

Sorry about this replied to wrong phone.

When i flashed the APK1 files it hung on file analysis for about a good 5 min. I was fixing to reset and try again and it finally got past that part. I'm not sure why it took so long. The APK1 files are the latest files for the G930A. It is bootloader 4. What version of odin are you using.

I thought you just extracted the zip files to a folder and used them then to put into Odin slots. After unzipping they are MD5 files. At least that is what mine say after unzipping. CORRECT????

I figured that was the case too but odin doesnt recognize .rar files. I looked at the files i downloaded and they were named '.tar.rar'. Odin recognizes .tar files so i figured id just delete the .rar and it would work but nope you have to open the rar files in WinRar or whatever program you like and extract the MD5 files. Then plug those MD5 files in odin and it will go through just fine. PK1 feels pretty sexy so far!

Samsung Galaxy J3 2016 Firmware hidden.img stuck

Hello there,
I recently tried to get Android 10 onto my old phone. But i already got stuck on trying to root it. First I could not install new firmware because of FAP lock.
Then when I tried to get around the lock, I tried to root the phone with this tutorial. But Odin failed at hidden.img. Several times. And now I am stuck with "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue Select recovery mode in Kies".
I tried flashing with deleted hidden.img - it does not work. When I add an .md5 extension, Odin says binary invalid. When I remove the ".md5", Odin just crashes.
Any ideas?
If it is somehow important: I once rooted this device, but for some update or app, idk, i went back to normal, I dont really remember. I use Windows 10.
Thanks

So you have download the samsung drivers? Unzipped the file with result of a .md5 file? connected your phone to the pc with download mode? And then putted the file on the AP section? And clicked start?
Everything i just mentioned (except the .md5) can you find on HighOnAndroid website. Try to get the odin from there.
Please reply if it worked

Well yes, I already did all you described, but did not get it from HighOnAndroid (I also tried, but the "samsung drivers" are Malware which is blocked by Windows, so...).
I know how to flash a phone. It just does not work because of some weird Error with the hidden.img. I also saw a ton of other people trying to flash their phone with this Error, but their solutions do not work. So I need someone with another solution.

I once again tried it with these drivers. No change.
I just want to tell you, that I am no idiot and I know how to flash a phone. It just is a very specific problem, that occurs a lot apparently: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=flash+galaxy+hidden.img+stuck
The problem is, that the solutions posted on Youtube and other places do. not. work. As I explained in my starting post.
