Another same question,
Flash dbdata.rfs.tar on your pda option via odin after flashing jm6
ok do i need to tar a dbdata.rfs? and which dbdata.rfs.tar from which firmware?
Browse the JM6 thread, and it should be on the 1st or 2nd page of the thread.
No its already tar'd
just did this and it looks like its working
Hello everyone!
Before you start reading I have to warn you that I WOULD NOT suggest you try what I have written here because this was alittle too risky on a 800+€ device!!!
I actually managed to downgrade to JJ4 tonight after alot of risky trials and errors.
I have had that boot error in ODIN since first JM6 flash when trying to downgrade and I did the repartition with the PIT included with first JM6 rom.
I don't know what actually was necessary to do for the downgrade to succeed but this is how I got there. (The rom was the JJ4 from samfirmware with the included P1_hidden PIT)
1: I flashed CSC and MODEM in ODIN, not the PDA as that will fail.
2: I downloaded Heimdall 1.1.0 for windows and replaced the KIES driver with the one included with Heimdall, That is the "Samsung USB Composite Device" when phone is in Download mode.
3: Then I extraxted the .tar files and added those files in their places in the Heimdall frontend.
4: Now it got scary, as the first time I hit start it gave a FAIL instantly. However I just hit it one more time after that and it started writing factoryFS. Woohoo I tought and looked at the process untill 100%, after that nothing more happened. The bar on the phone showed that it was about 80% done but Heimdall didn't want to do anything more. I took a deep breath and forced the phone off, then start again and i got the ---!--- screen.
5: Now I had to uninstall and delete the Heimdall USB driver and reinstall the KIES driver to get ODIN back and repartition with the P1_hidden PIT file. Nothing more here, ONLY repartition with PIT, no PDA or modems.
6: Phone rebooted into JJ4 with Russian language as default.
Now i have PDA:JJ4 /PHONE:JID /CSC:JJ2
Going to try to get JJ3 flashed in ODIN now and then try a update with KIES as i want the stock scandinavian keyboard with ÅÄÖ back.

after rooting my p1000, i`ve testet some tools.
for test reasons i`ve set density changer to 200 dpi and in the options i`ve used the reboot store funktion.
now the phone boot up sequenz stops after bootanimation.
sequenzes of vibrations are looping continously.
screen is blank. (no connect to kies possible)
(vol up+pow) factory reset and cache wipe will bring no effekt. (sometimes the recoverytool crashes and reboot, before the wipe is done)
download mode booting (vol down+power) will bring the 'hard working android' logo, but it will
not really connect to kies 1.5.3.(firmware flash mode in kies is not responding to usb drivers)
the p1000 hardware is already detected and the drivers are installed.
odin seems to be detecting the device on virtual com port 9, but i
don`t have any recovery image to flash in nandroid recovery. (update.zip)
samsung-firmwares doesnt have a p1000 categorie,yet.
has anybody a link to the original (odin flashable) firmware?
or any other hints? maybe by adb?

Hey guys,
i've got a big problem with my galaxy tab too.
Just the same symptoms like DOMin8or, but to me the fix does not work.

EDIT---------------------------------EDIT
Oh, no. Things getting worse. I tried a galaxy s firmware and now the screen is black (without backlight) und
the led is on.
I cannot turn off the device or enter any menu.
But I can still flash, because the galaxy tab is shown in Odin3 (no firmware changes anything).
Plz. I need help! My tab is getting hotter and hotter, 'cause of the led.
EDIT2--------------------------------EDIT2
That is what I have done:
- I rooted the device on stock firmware (XXJID)
- I tried to run the voodoo lagfix, afterwards i couldn't boot.
- I flashed the firmware as described above and had the problem( in quote).
- I flashed a galaxy s firmware
The only I can do with the tab is to connect with odin3 and flash it, but every firmware and
pit I tried leads to the same result: Nothing changes.
The camera-led is on and if I hold the power button the one is ca. 3s off.
Is there a possibility do rescue the tab?
You used Galaxy S firmware?

I know, that was stupid.
What I do not understand is that I can flash the tab with Odin without an error, but nothing happens. Are there different bootloader? And the tab still can't execute the start up code?

the reason why densitiy changer would crash my device
the device f*cked up, because there was no busybox in the system, after
rooting with superoneclick short fuse root.
the density changer`s programmer knows about the problem and he
told me, that i have to install the busybox from market first.
superoneclick 1.4 does not installed a busybox automaticly.
maybe the new version of superoneclick will fix that.
normaly it could push the busybox by adb, automaticly.

Hi,
Today I wanted to update my Galaxy S via Kies and I get "Update Fail". From then my phone won't start, won't boot, won't do anything. On screen appears a phone with exclamation mark and a PC. I tried vol down + home + power but that symbol
won't disappear.
You can see the exact symptomes if you will search on youtube "Re: Samsung galaxy s upgrade FROYO 2.2 fail ! ! HELPPP "

In Kies select "tools", "emergence firmware recovery"....follow on screen instructions
This happened to me more than once.
Just pull out your battery and push the powerbutton for 3 seconds.
Now put the battery in, start in downloadmode and flash via odin
Time for a custom rom if you ask me...
You will never look back trust me...
Custom ROMS are always problematic and the OP is not asking about custom or stock roms..
@gabi Whenever such a situation occurs, just reinsert the battery and enter the phone to download mode and flash again and make sure your USB connection is solid and you are flashing with the correct files.
First of all.. that's a load of crap..
2nd.. he is using kies, not odin .. so what correct files?
Facepalm.

Hello guys this is my first post and please consider me as a beginner.
I have a SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 international version. I believe the solution I will be posting will work for all types if they get the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please selected recovery mode in Kies & try again".
I downloaded the file attached to the post (insecure kernel).
Then with help of odin v3.04 the phone in download mode I installed the above insecure kernel. By doing this I got the firmware issue away then I put the phone to recovery mode by pressing the volume up button and menu button and power button and selected the option factory reset and wiped or deleted the entire data. Once that was done I was able to install the latest Jellybean 4.1 official release using odin and my phone is back to life. I am so happy. I belive it will work for you also..
Thanks.

Disconnect the USB, remove the battery, put it back and get into recovery and see if it gets into download mode. If you get the "recovery screen" again, connect to kies and try the emergency recovery. Irrespective of what happens, retry getting into download mode again after that. I had encountered the same problem during and update after around 62% was written to the phone and was able to get into download mode again.

thank you so much this is a good information
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!

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
First: I'm a noob. I only know the basics, and I am sure someone asked this before but I simply can't find it, after weeks and weeks of searching.
I have an original Samsung Galaxy Young from when it first came out. Recently tried to install a custom rom on it and 1. didn't back it up 2. didn't even root
It now boot loops or sends me to Recovery mode. From what I've read it's a soft brick, because I still can access the recovery mode.
Whenever I try anything it tells me:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I tried installing CWM from one of the threads here that still work (installed v6.0.1.2)
The menu opens but nothing works (ie: wiping cache, system, etc...)
I tried installing a custom rom with CWM: Can't mount cache; Can't open last_install: No such device
I tried installing TWRP and it doesn't work either
Tried ODIN (in admin) but phone doesn't appear (I installed the samsung drivers)
I simply can't find anything. I'm so sorry of asking you all to help such a rookie that makes dumb mistakes but I simply can't find any answers anywhere
Please, please help me.
Have u tried vol- + home + power keys?
Samsung have specific called Download Mode like semi-fastboot on most brands.
Same'kind of answer, did you boot in Odin mode before connecting the phone to the computer in order to'use this soft (that should unbrick your device if you flash a dedicated stock rom)

Yes and no: I tried it but it didn't work for some reason, but I just tried it now and it worked. i'll keep you updated if it works
Okay so it worked. Here's what I did in detail in case someone who doesn't understand anything ever needs these files (took me weeks to actually find them):
1. Install Odin3 v1.85 (i found mine on hardreset.info)
2. Get the partitioned firmware from here or from the attached files
3. Then, I entered download mode on my Galaxy Young (Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button)
4. Opened Odin v1.85 with Administrator Perms
5. Put totoro_0623.pit in PIT
6. BOOT_S5360XXMK1_REV05.tar in Bootloader
7. PDA_S5360XXMK1_REV05.tar.md5 in PDA
(I didn't put anything in phone but i guess you can put the MODEM file in that section, don't quote me on that)
8. GT-S5360-csc-DBTML1.tar.md5 in CSC
9. Checked Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. reset Time
10. Pressed START
And now everything works just fine!
The thing that was missing was 1. Odin Mode on the phone and 2. Odin flashable firmware (sammobile premium locked so I had to go look elsewhere)

First: I'm a noob. I only know the basics, and I am sure someone asked this before but I simply can't find it, after weeks and weeks of searching.
I have an original Samsung Galaxy Young from when it first came out. Recently tried to install a custom rom on it and 1. didn't back it up 2. didn't even root
It now boot loops or sends me to Recovery mode. From what I've read it's a soft brick, because I still can access the recovery mode.
Whenever I try anything it tells me:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I tried installing CWM from one of the threads here that still work (installed v6.0.1.2)
The menu opens but nothing works (ie: wiping cache, system, etc...)
I tried installing a custom rom with CWM: Can't mount cache; Can't open last_install: No such device
I tried installing TWRP and it doesn't work either
Tried ODIN (in admin) but phone doesn't appear (I installed the samsung drivers)
I simply can't find anything. I'm so sorry of asking you all to help such a rookie that makes dumb mistakes but I simply can't find any answers anywhere
Please, please help me.

I tried to install a lot of stuff... crazy, ik. I'm sure I did (tried to follow), but when you''re a newbie, a single mistake can just mess up the process. But now the phone works perfectly fine and I learned a valuable lesson!
