Hi all,
I royally messed up my Galaxy Tab trying to install a framework-res.apk without reading the threads properly. Now I have a Tab which just reboots itself continuously at the Samsung screen after buzzing three times in quick succession.
Is it possible, seeing as I can still go into download mode, to reflash the tab using this guide and send the tab back to stock/brand new?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848422
The only problem is that I have no idea what the latest firmware for the UK Galaxy Tab would be that came over Kies. Can anyone help me with this? I basically need to know what the latest official "Kies-loaded" firmware is and to download it, then use the guide above to reflash my tab so it's back to standard.
TIA

JJ7 is the latest update through Kies I think for the UK, although JJ3 seems to be what most Tabs were supplied with in the UK.
If your Tab was purchased in Carphone Warehouse then it's latest official firmware will be JJ7, if you purchased it from Tesco or Phones 4u etc then it will be JJ3. As long as you haven't tried flashing any of the JM series ROMs you will be fine to flash either JJ3 or JJ7 onto your Tab with Odin or Hemidal.
Thanks for both of your inputs, I have downloaded and flashed JJ7, but for some reason when I do a *#1234#*, under versions I have nothing under PDA, under Phone it says P1000XXJK5 qand under CSC it's blank. I could have sworn that before my screw up, all three of these values had something in them. Any help?

Did you go into recovery after flashing and let it finish doing it's thing?
Turn your tab off, then hold down power+volume up, wait until it's finished updating the CSC and everything and then reboot.
If that doesn't work, then flash a different CSC and repeat the steps above.
You'll get the PDA and CSC entries as blank if either you didn't flash the CSC or you didn't go into the Recovery console immediately after the flash to allow the CSC to install.
Hi all,
Thanks again for all your help everyone. I followed all your advice and thanks to you guys I've managed to save my tab.
Thanks again

Hi all,
Having an issue at the moment. I had originally flashed JG4, then JM5 onto my SGS (was originally Optus JF3), then decided to check out the Asia FW JH1, but when I try to flash back to JM5, Odin gets to the "dont remove download target" in the dialogue box and I'm left waiting...
After 30min +, nothing is happening... If I remove the phone, I get the connect phone to pc Icon on reboot.. I then have to reflash back to JH1 to get the phone working again......
Do I need to use a different PIT file, or is there something else I need to do.
Cheers for assistance in advance.
Hi,
I just installed kies today and got a message that my tab (p7510) has not an official firware and cannot be updated. I bought the tab in canada and live in germany.
Afterwards I used odin to flash xwkg7 (only pda, not bootloader).
Since then Kies does not show the current firmware anymore. The field is blank.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Klaus
I have the same problem.
I found the solution by myself.
I just flashed with odin "PDA". This caused that /system is overwritten, which is good. However, I did not install "CSC" which is usually also copied to /system. As a matter of fact, I didn´t have the csc stuff and this caused Kies to freak out.
Solution:
Use odin to flash PDA *and* CSC at the same time!
Never ever flash PDA alone, because then your csc files are gone.
Hope this will help someone
However, now Kies tells me that I do not have an official firmware version on my tab and thus no updates through Kies are supported. Damn... Ideas?
Hello Klaus,
This I had already tried again and got the message as you've described. Who can help us.
I have tried everything in this forum in regards to re-flashing, the weird thing is I can flash 4.2 which boots up, but no sound or wifi, also once it boots I am able to use Kies to Upgrade the 4.4, but still no sound or wifi, if I try and flash 4.3 JB through Odin it fails every single time, I have tried multiple versions of Odin and multiple sources for the firmware file???

Same issue
Hey, I'm having the exact same problem. I had a custom rom installed and I noticed that I didn't have much room left on my internal storage. It was probably a stupid move, but while my phone was plugged into my computer, I deleted a lot of the folders that I saw on my phone. I kept the folders I thought were important (Android, DCIM) but apparently I deleted some important files.
I have reset the phone multiple times. Still no wifi or no sound. I have the same model this person has (SGH-i337m) and it was locked to Rogers originally, but the person I bought it from had it factory unlocked. I'm assuming I still try flashing with the Rogers firmware? I still have 29 minutes left for the firmware to finish downloading and then I'm going to try flashing it twice like you recommended.
If that doesn't work, I really hope you see this and are able to help me out. If it doesn't work, I will dial #1234# and post what it says. Please reply asap if you see this. Thanks!
I have the same problem as well!
It wasn't until I read this post that I realized I have not sound either.
I'm in the process of running the update through Kies (takes FOREVER) and then I'll try these instructions. Originally locked to Rogers, but was unlocked so I can use SIM cards in other countries.
I flashed to CyanogneMod and then tried to go back and now have this problem, with the kernel warning in red when the phone starts.
I had this version on my phone before CyanogenMod - can I try putting it back on, or do I use the March/2014 release?
Model SGH-I337M

1. Install this APP and see the CSC (like in the pic attached) for know your country code.
2. Download the correct firmware in Sammobile.com with the correct CSC.
ok, I can breathe again.
I flashed the ROM that I detailed above and everything is working again.... sound, wifi, camera.... let's not talk about everything that was f'd up...
Thing I have learned:
Breathe. and don't show your stress when things go belly-up.
Ignore husband laughing at me and saying that he won't let me have HIS Samsung S4 to mess with now that I f'd mine
Always back up.
even more importantly, DON'T BACK UP WITH KIES. I LOST ALL MY TEXTS.... research a good backup program
keep the latest working version of your ROM on your desktop for the next time you f up for easy reference.......
Hello everyone, I'd like to start off by saying I am a complete newcomer to all this so please explain literally all of the terminology/jargon you intend to use and correct me when I use it wrong.
I have a Chinese version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N9109W and up until yesterday it was running out of the box on android 4.4.4. I care not for any of the data on the phone nor the warranty as there was none to begin with when it was gifted to me.
I attempted to "root" it as I didn't want any of the Chinese apps/restrictions on it but have failed miserably and now my phone is stuck in a bootloop.
I was following this guide if it helps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/root-note-4-sm-n910c-t2977948 and downloaded the appropriate Snapdragon version (SM-N9109W).
I cannot enter recovery mode by holding down *power+vol up+home* as it just keeps on rebooting. I can, however, get into the downloader by holding down *power+vol down+home*.
I have tried for the entirety of today to find a specific guide for the Chinese note 4 on xda, youtube and google but to no avail - nothing that I can find is identical to my situation and I am hesitant to do anything further to it by following a similar guide in case I make it worse.
I have repeatedly seen suggestions to "flash" stock rom and as I can get into the downloader I believe this would be a great starting point, but once again I am afraid to do anything without a specific guide for the N9109W.
A few people have referred to SamMobile to download stock rom, but a search for SM-N9109W lists 8 files for 4.4.4 and I believe I have no way of working out my PDA or CSC, yet again I don't know what these even are and they might not be relevant?
Any assistance in getting my phone's software back to "out of the box" conditions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you for your time and patience,
Ryan
If you can enter Download mode then you can flash that firmware you found matching your device's exact model no. via Odin. Just put the ROM in AP/PDA tab (PDA for older Odin versions, AP for new) and hit start.

Thank you ithehappy for the reply,
When I search for the stock firmware on SamMobile, I type in my exact model number (SM-N9109W). This search returns with a list of multiple different versions for my phone, of which 8 are 4.4.4 (my initial version).
Does it matter which version I download and install?
To my knowledge, I have no way of finding my CSC or PDA unless you know of a database I can use to search the information that is physically on my phone? Once again, does it matter that I know what these are or can I simply download, for example, version 5.1.1 and flash that on instead of my original 4.4.4? Or, will this just cause further possibly unfixable problems?
Thank you for your help
Anyone?
No, you can download any one you want.
Thank you for the help, ithehappy. I now have a working phone!
For future readers, I downloaded the latest version of 4.4.4 that SamMobile had (2015-03-27) for my model (SM-N9109W):
PDA: N9109WKEU1ANL3
CSC: N9109WCTC1ANL3
It failed the first time I tried flashing with Odin 3.10.7, but whilst I was hastily taking screenshots of my problem to post here I accidentally started the transfer again and it successfully installed that time.
I followed the instructions on SamMobile for the installation.
This version of the firmware I installed does not have any google services (thank China for that), so keep that in mind.
Thank you
Hi everyone.
My apologies in advance if this has already been answered but I can't find it. I am not new to XDA and do know how to use the search feature. This is the first time I post requesting help with a problem as I always search and find what I need. I got an unlocked Galaxy S7 Edge and after carefully following instructions found on XDA, I used ODIN and flashed, what I thought was, the right Nougat firmware for it. The phone rebooted and went as far as the WiFi network selection screen when it frozen and then gave me the error message that's on the picture attached. So my quetio s are these:
1. What do I need to do to get it back to download mode
2. Out of all the different versions out there, how do I know which G395F firmware is the correct one for it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
****UPDATE****
Guys, I have an update on this. So the red letter went away; I guess because the battery died. I plugged it into the power jack - not the computer, and it started charging. When it reached 5% i tried to turn it on and, lo and behold, the device started and went through the rest of the initial setup process. It's been on for about 5 hours now and ho hickups (knock on wood 3 times). I booted into recovery and the flash counter is on 0 so it means that Knox didn't trip; this is mind boggling to say the least.
Which firmware did you flash?
The G935F is fairly generic. Most firmware can be flashed on any G935F.
I'm out at work now but will reply with the firmware once I get home tonight. Thanks.
1. Just hold down Power+Home+Volume Down. After a couple of seconds it should boot Download Mode.
2. sammobile.com, find your modell, and then search for your country (or whatever you want?)

This is the firmware I flashed;
G935FXXU1DPLT_G935FOXA1DPLT_BTU
Would flashing this change the serial number on the device?
Thanks in advance.

1. Tried to do that and it wouldn't work.
2. The problem is that for my model number, United States is not listed neither is the "Global" version, which is the phone I have.
Thanks tough.
Now what I would like to know is; which stock firmware should I install to get the device back to 6.0.1 since US is not on the region list on Sammobile neither is my Model number which is plain SM-G935F. There is a "UD" quite a few spaces to the right of the model number; does anyone know what that means? Unlocked perhaps?
Admin; please feel free to relocate this post if it doesn't belong here anymore and thank you.
