So I tried to flash the rom of my galaxy tab.
I first flashed it to JM6, everything fine
Then to JMA, everything fine
Then to JMF, and the tab did not reboot, it went into recovery mode.
I tried rebooting again, it got stuck at Samsung logo, I went to recovery mode and wiped data and rebooted again and it again was stuck at the Samsung logo, I tried doing this 3-4 times and it was always stuck at samsung logo.
I tried flashing it again and no luck.
Then I tried flashing a different rom, the JHA from Roto, and odin failed.
Now my tab has picture I havent seen anywhere else, A phone picture - A PC picture and in between there is a yellow triangle with ! in it.
I can not go to download mode, can not go to recovery mode!
Stuck like this, can anyone help?
ok so when I have the phone+yellow exclamation+computer pics, i used odin to flash it again, and it did flash!
after the flash the screen became the normal download mode, i rebooted and it got stuck again at samsung logo, i did the wipe data thing on recovery mode but it still does not boot, gets stuck at samsung logo.
help please
solved !
went back to base rom jm6, pit csc pda modem files, did boot
then flashed again to jma
now using jma
dont know which rom i should use now, cause jmf did not reboot
Hello everyone,
I have the same problem since yesterday, after wanting to do things too fast. I have a french Tab bought from SFR.
Coming from Roto JME V4, i flashed OC Kernel v2, all fine.
Then when modaco's ext4 kernel drop, i flashed it and did the ext4 conversion : all fine.
On top of that i tried to flash new OC Kernel v6 for ext4, i ended up with freezing home after analysing storage, just like others.
Here's what i did wrong : i didn't backup recovery with CKW has i should have, i tried to flash JME V4 again, thinking it would wipe and i would have started all over again, no matter.
So here i am, odin flash didn't end well, i restart the tab and i have this frightening logo.
Now i would have liked doing like you, flash with odin while this logo's on, but i think the battery's out : whatever i do, tab keeps alterning logo/black screen(like off)/logo/black screen/logo, while pluged ; doesn't show anything if not plugged ; odin can't see anything.
Has anybody got an idea? Just let me know if you need more info (no logcat or screenshot though).
Thanks in advance. Regards,
FF
It sounds like you've probably both had a problem a lot of us have experienced in the past because the JM series ROMS after JM6 do not include dbdata.rfs and this often causes Tabs to error when you enter the recovery console after a flash (or hang at the Samsung logo if you don't go into the recovery console). The way to solve this is either to make sure that the ROM you flash includes dbdata.rfs or flash the dbdata.rfs file from JM6 with Heimdal after you have flashed another ROM. If you look in the topic for the JMG ROM you'll see a number of posts about this and there's a link posted on page 3 to a stock JMG ROM that includes the dbdata.rfs from JM6 and can be flashed straight with Odin.
Hello everyone,
I'm still with the same problem, the Tab don't seem to charge while plugged in, it keeps alternating showing the logo then nothing like the tab's off.
Odin can't see anything as the Tab just keeps turning on & off.
What do you think? screwed? go to shop and play the idiot to get a new tab?
Thanks.

Ok, I used odin to first flash pit and jj4 firmware, the tab then rebooted and the logo was all messed up and fuzzy, I then put it in download mode and flashed jj5 firmware and rebooted. The tab did the same again.
The display is on but nothing being displayed.
How can I flash it to a working rom and where can I get all the files to do this?.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Its sounds like you did it correctly. Try dowloading JJ4 from the net again and reflash that with odin. You can stil get to the yellow download screen right?

Having a few troubles,
I thought I would save myself some hassle and use the international bootstrap app in the market to get clockwork recovery.
So bought it, installed it, ran it.... then it was stuck on the "galaxy tab" logo screen after reboot, able to get into download mode but not recovery
Searched the forums, found people suggesting to flash the rotohammer JMI full with Odin would fit it, so I did that and got a FAIL half way through flashing,
then I saw another thread and they said just flash the .pit file by itself so I did that, this time it PASSED, but now all I get is a black screen, or white screen if its charging...
Can get to Download mode still, but not recovery or anything else,
Any ideas? I thought I would ask because I would just be guessing now and I dont want to do more damage than I already have...
The pit file repartitions your sd card. Now you are ready to flash the JMI rom in the pda spot, uncheck repartition. Reboot, then flash a modem.
Hi all,
I really need you guys help there..
I own a Asian version galaxy tab...
I first wanted to try out modaco r3 kernel so i flash the non-EXT4 version and it brings me to boot loop( doesn't get pass first samsung screen....)
then i had no clue about what to do and decided to flash back to HK rom with odin and when it is done it does get pass the first screen but it is now stuck and the samsung screen...where it occasionally vibrate and is stuck there
I really have no clue what's going on and it's the first time i encountered such problem since I've been a member in xda
I really hope if anyone can help out and lead me somewhere i can just turn my tab on and use it..
many thanks..
-Wilson
Also I've root my phone before and when i am done with the odin flash for the firmware...it actually gets me into recovery instead of to reboot directly
not sure what else is needed for you guys to help out...but if i can provide anything, please let me know
@season007
I encountered a similar problem just yesterday night while trying to flash to the New Modaco Kernel and Rom. While flashing the kernel, ext4 conversion took place and since then it just took me to a samsung boot window where a yellow window with half written text along with constant vibrations occurred.
I was able to get rid of it by installing Roto JMI v2 rom using Odin. ( Just put the "pit" file and the PDA rom and start. It takes about 5 minutes and my device is working again! P.S its a pretty good rom. Blazing fast!
You can get it here along with instructions : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939360

Hi folks,
i have had many devices and virtually customized every one. Now i have really done it, i bricked my phone.
I did happily flash the new march updates for the 910F, some dr. ketan, just the usal stuff. However, now my phone boot loops in and out recovery. To be precise, it starts after successfully flashing with odin (does not matter if repartition with pid files or full nand erase...):
- it tries to enter recovery (blue text at the top)
- it fails (nothing happens), then it goes black, it vibrates two times and
- restarts with trying to enter recovery (endless loop)
No getting out. Removing battery and starting normal does not work.
Download mode and flashing via Odin and Kies "does" work, but changes nothing....
Does anyone have ever had similiar issues and or fixed this?
All thoughts are welcome.

try to flash only the stock recovery.
If it fails, flash the last stock with pit file + factory reset on recovey, if wou're again in bootloop
I did the same thing on my note 10.1
"your partition is corrupt. Would you like to factory reset your device?"
it is still here in bootloop..

Do you have a recent stock recovery flashible with odin or do you know where to find?
I did flash the recent stock with pit files/repartitioning,...does not help.

How do you know the partition is corrupt? I think i already did a factory reset by repartitioning with the pit file. Corrupt partitions i tried to fix by nand erase in combination with repartitioning... this did not help.
I have the same problem, only problem I got some text with red+blue+yellow color, what I did was flash a stock ROM ( SAME ROM I HAD BEFORE ROOT FAIL) and it worked (like)

any flagship Samsung is bricked if you can get into download mode.
if you want to try, above you have the recovery from the last S1CPC1, flash it at odin:

thank you very much. i do not understand your first sentence......btw. i can get into download mode...(just if you meant "can not")
Update: I have virtually flashed every rom > 5.0. No success, no difference. Everytime the odin flash procedure is successful (in all variants, with pit, with nand erase, etc...), but the phone loops everything (normal start, recovery) besides the bootloader.
only new thing i noticed: allthough binary status is official, the device status is and stays custom not matter what i flash.
anyone? anything?
Did you try to flash the stock recovery yet?
Also, what did you exactly flash to cause this?

yes i tried stock recovery already. not sure what caused this. i do remember that i had some problems with 4.8 debloated and then i wanted to flash the hole corresponding stock package as clean base. somewhere in the middle this happenend. i am not quite sure, but maybe, maybe flashed cf-autoroot to this march update. but i am not sure if this was before, after or initially.
however,...what really bothers me, is that there is absolutely no indiciation for an error during the flash process. odin and kies, everything completes just fine, just booting does not work. that's why i fear, that this is just an ugly coincident and the problem is caused by some failing hardware.
maybe and immensly undclocked kernel (odin flashable) could start my phone. because something is still working, when the bootloader and the nand writing is working just fine.
does anybody know how to get a really granpa speedy kernel, or how to make it?

Used to happen to me all the time. What I used to do was, after flashing the rom, connected it again to odin, flashed the cwm recovery 5-6 times and then used to give it a try. Also ,after trying this, flash the bootloader-modem file and pretty sure your phone will boot(This is optional)

I was having also huge bug with dr.ketan rom at first was working flawlessly and 1 month later my phone wouldn't charge at all or recognise any charging cable.
Good thing is you can enter download mode (odin )
That means your phone is only soft bricked.
Flash SM-910F pit file + Latest stock firmware in odin mode all together in 1 flashing process...dont forget to mark repatriation in odin when using pit file.
When you got pass on odin and phone reboot and you see Samsung logo...fast take battery out and wait 1 min , put battery back and hold combo to enter stock recovery and do factory reset.
Good luck :fingers-crossed:

Thanks guys. I tried yesterday some stuff, nothing was working and i finally got it dead as a stone! Nothing was working anymore. However, i took it to the samsung service center. They were irritated, that they can't get it on at all! ... However, i am curious, how they handle it and how much they want for a repair attempt/or replacement.
Just for info. I did all the things you proposed. Nothing worked. I think this was just a coincidental hardware failing. If you flash all the time, there is a chance that you do it, while something is dying!?
i keep you updated! Thanks for now...
Corrupted eMMC? Probably! Please let us know what the service centre said ultimately and how much they charged you.

So i am back with a fresh note 4 mainboard. they changed it no questions asked, no fee, no problems. i like!
I got a bricked Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (910F) vodafone branded.
it's totally broken I can't start it, can't go into recovery (the hardware buttons are OK).
I can only go into download mode.
tried flashing everything with odin back to stock. followed many different instructions and now I'm lost.
can someone tell me what exact files I need?
I think I have the right firmware downloaded BUT what about the bootloader? on sammobile under germany-vodafone there are so many different versions which one shall I choose?
AND: Do I need CSC? if so which one and where to find? Couldn't find it on sammobile.
And am I right with putting the bootloader under BL, the firmware under AP, the CP (whatever this is) under CP, the csc under csc?
repartition unchecked as I read somewhere.
I still don't understand what this "pit" file is for and I'm not sure if I have the right one.. never had a phone with sooo many different firmware files..
I'm used to flash via fastboot "recovery.img, boot.img, system.img" odin is a new thing for me
HELP PLEASEEE :'(
the reactivation lock is on.

The note 4 firmware is usually only 1 file that contains all you need. It contains the bootloader and CSC that you pick during download. Just pick the CSC for your country.
This is unless you get a 4 file repair firmware, which contains separate bootloader, system, and CSC files.
The pit file is only needed to repartition your device.
But with all off that aside, you state that your activation lock is activated. These means the phone was password protected.
If you tell me your country, I can at least point you to the correct firmware. So at least you'll know you got the correct one.
But as far as the activation lock, I can't help with that. "Google"
Edit. I now see you mentioned Germany Voda.
So here's the most current firmware for your device.

Download and unzip.
Then if it's just 1 file that's .md5 then you put it in AP slot.
If it's 4 files put them in appropriate slots.

This reactivation lock doesn't matter I found a solution how to bypass it when the phone is set up running android.
my question is, is it possible to flash firmware to the note4 at all with reactivation lock on? Or is that just an android thingy?
And yes please that would be nice if you show me the right firmware.
My model:
N910F GSMH
I believe it is vodafone branded because when it once worked it showed a vodafone logo while starting up.
my country is Germany.
I hope thats enough info :/

I believe it should still flash with lock. If it isn't flashing something is wrong.
If you can't get Odin to flash that firmware try this and see what happens.
Download TWRP and flash it. Can you boot into recovery then? If so download a custom rom and flash it and see what happens.
TWRP: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/trlte/twrp-3.2.1-0-trlte.img.tar

I have the right latest samsung drivers installed yes.
I have the Odin version you just sent a link of. ( I also tried different older versions but no success).
I can't boot into recovery doesn't work. the hardware buttons are 100% working as I have to press vol+ to confirm to go into download mode.
I tried flashing TWRP and CWM both didn't work "custom recovery blocked by A/L error".
I can successfully flash firmware with Odin. It says "PASS" and then the phone reboots and is stuck on Samsung Logo. and sometimes it just shows blue text "recovery booting" but is stuck. nothing happens.

Thanks for the link I'm downloading.
After flashing odin says PASS and my note 4 reboots. then there are 2 cases which in my view appear randomly. Either it shows the samsung logo and is stuck.
OR it shows the samsung logo and a blue little text in the upper left corner saying "recovery booting" and is stuck. I waited like 5 minutes. shall I wait longer? :/ hm..I'll try
OH and sometimes the screen just goes black idk if it really turns off after getting stuck on samsung logo.
Pull the battery, leave it out for 10+ minutes
Put battery back in
Boot to download mode (Power + Vol Down + Home)
Then try (re)flashing stock ROM via odin, i would try the earliest you can find to have the best chance, you can always flash a later one if you get it running
Better range of ROMS from sammobile, i never use updato for that reason: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note4/SM-N910F/VD2/
If none of that works, then its likely you have a hardware fault ...emmc or other

So I tried flashing. after flashing OH WONDER it said recovery booting and then it showed this green android logo thing with a rotating icon in it "you know what I mean" but then it stopped and just turned off.. I could freak out really.. I tried flashing again. same issue. I could then press the recovery mode key combo to get into this rotating android logo screen but everytime it just freezes and turns off. yes the battery is fully charged before I started flashing this firmware now. I flashed the one u said the earliest. So Now I tried the one the other guy here showed me. didn't work either. it just gets stuck at samsung logo. I found a repair firmware for my model containing (pit, bl, ap, cp, csc and odin) I flashed all but odin fails "write error". I then tried odin v3.0.7 but then it got stuck while flashing the system image. I waited like 1 hour. nothing. tried it again. nothing it freezes on the same position. I then tried the same on the latest versions of odin v3.12.3, 3.12.7 and on 3.13.1 but it also freezes on system.img.ext4 image flashing..

Try the Samsung Smart Switch for PC - like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QhJngOuLQ4&t=337s
Good luck, maybe it will work - for me it did work for the 910C.

doesnt work. I tried several versions of smartswitch AND samsung kies. nothing works it always says my model is not supported. I reinstalled drivers. tried on another pc. tried another usb port. yes I'm using the original stock usb cable. model not supported. But I've also read that in other threads that the 910F model seems to be unknown by kies or smartswitch. I'm rly starting to hate samsung now. I have never ever had so many problems with flashing and so on.

afaik the "repair" fimeware is no better than flashing a stock ROM in one file...
its startng to sound like a hardware error, if it cant even write to the dvice theres really not many (probably any) options left.
ive purposely bricked a phone and recovered it (not recommended of course), ive never had or never saw as much effort youve put in to try and recover a phone...

me neither.. can't believe this.. how can a phone be physically damaged by flashing? paid 70 bugs for a note 4 with a software issue.. as I often do. recovered dead phones from sony, xiaomi, wiko, asus, lg, huawei etc... adb, fastboot and u good to go. odin is killin me.. gonna sell it as bricked.
Cleared caches?
