Hi guys,
I am trying to re-root as Tab needs to go in to be fixed. I copied across my nandroid backup and then tried to restore it but the MD5 checksum failed :-( I had already done a factory reset and format of system and am now stuck at the Samsung Logo. I can't mount the USB storage to copy over a different ROM to get it back up and running again. I have tried to mount USB storage in CWM 4.0.4 and 5.0.2.3 but keep getting "E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)".
Is the Tablet bricked? Is there a way out of this?
Help appreciated as am getting worried....
M
I was able to access my SDcard from recovery using Droid Explorer (google it):
1. do not connect Tab to PC
2. start Droid Explorer on PC
3. On your Tab in CWM: mounts and storage > mount system, data, efs (I don't know if all this is necessary, but It's what I did), mount USB storage
4. Connect Tab to PC, hit refresh icon in Droid Explorer
Now you should be able to access SDcard in Droid Explorer. You can only transfer individual files though, so any folder structures must be done manually.
Failing that, if you can get into download mode:
If you can get into download mode (which you should be able to), you can just use Odin to flash a new ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167250
The ASIAN ROM (Sept.) is the most recent (don't worry it defaults to English). Also, this will wipe your SDcard, but will get everything back to working order.
Thanks SO much for getting in touch, much appreciated! Well Droid Explorer is not working......I can connect via Odin though (thank God!). How exactly do I flash a ROM with it mate? Only ever done recoveries before....
Cheers,
M

Watch the first 2-3 mins of this video to see how to operate ODIN. In the video the guy is trying to root his tab, whereas you are trying to go back to stock rom. So the bit where he chooses the pda from his zip file, you just substitute that with the pda and csc from the asian rom file using the link in the post above me.

You need to use a ROM that is specifically flash-able in Odin. Pretty much just follow the directions in the link and you should be good to go.
After that, you'll need to re-install CWM, but once you're done that, you can flash whatever ROM you want just like you're used to.

dpakrr, you are a LEGEND! I was able to get back to stock thanks to you after I thought I was screwed! I had to send the Tab back today for repair to Samsung as it is not being recognised at all by any PC I hook it up too. Not being recognised by Kies either.....you think it's a hardware fault?? I have tried three different PC's with three different OS's on them!
I flashed the stock ROM using Odin back onto it before sending it, will they be able to tell it was rooted? I noticed a flash counter on the Odin screen so wonder will that now be + 1?? I checked and Clockworkmod Recovery was gone, all that was there was the stock recovery.....

your welcome mate. im going to limerick for 3.5 months this friday and i love guinness beer so consider that a thank you to the irish lol.
hm well if you have followed the basic guidelines like turning usb debugging off, installing kies and reinstalling samsung mobile drivers and the samsung customer service has no idea whats going on then there is definitely something wrong. so yes could be a hardware fault but just seems strange.
nah the stock rom is not rooted and as you said recovery is back to stock as well, thats all the samsung guys should be worried about. dont think they'll care too much about odin flash counter etc. they will just have a look at the os on your tab and its now stock, so should be fine.

Phew Thanks for all the help man, so many good people here on XDA! I was just thinking that the machine sees the Tab when in ODIN mode but why not in Windows mode? What is the difference? Are low low level hardware drivers used for ODIN that Windows does not have access too?
By the way have a GREAT time in Limerick, it's a cool town and you will not find nicer people!

yes that is it mate. thats what i think it is, odin's got low level drivers which the OS doesnt. thats why I thought the samsung mobile drivers might help the OS identify the tab as well but that didnt work for u either did it. so the tab is probably faulty.
cheers mate, yeh look forward to having a great time in limerick

I'm not sure what causes it. Could be an internal rom missing a flashed image. You were just really unlucky . This is very rare so I wouldn't worry too much

I tried to unroot my phone via OCLF from the market. It went dark, then got the normal Vibrant screen, the the Galaxy S screen, then it went dark again. Now, it just sits. Black screen. All the buttons at the bottom are lit up. :-/
Anyone?
Silly question, I know. But did you have a nandroid backup, by any chance?
This is probably a last resort, but try boot into recovery and wipe everything. This fix the problem for me, the downside is you lose all you data.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If you are anything like me, recovery didn't work and using Odin and reflashing Stock with repartition didn't work either.
You'll need to use odin to flash Eugenes "Vibrant that doesn't brick" (NO REPARTITION), then use odin again to flash Stock (check repartition this time) and you'll be good to go.
You can try to flash the froyo rom with odin...... I had that same exact problem and this is what fixed it for me. Once froyo us flashed then you can flash whatever rom you want. Hth
Ok, I probably should have stated that I'm a complete newby and have no idea what I'm doing. I believe I do have nandroid, but other than that you all are speaking French to me.
Right now I'm in the recover mode (I think). It's hooked up to my computer and I'm in the "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" mode. This is where I'm stuck...I have no idea where to go from here.
Please talk to me like I'm a 5 year old, because as far as this is concerned, I am!
Oh, and thank you so much for any help you can give me!

Well, good news is... you didn't brick your phone, this is recoverable. Best idea would be to search the forums on how to ODIN back to Stock. Theres plenty of posts on how to do it. You should also be able to find this in the tips & tricks threads. Good Luck.
Thank you all for your help! I recovered it!! Seems as though I was just going about it the wrong way!! I got into the actual recovery mode and cleared it all out. Now it's as good as new!
Again, appreciate your help and patience with what I'm sure is the 120,000th post on this subject. ;-)

Thats also the problem as described in front : I have had no chance to received the DL Mode.. maybe I make something wrong? The phone is booting up till the "S" is there, after that, the screen is black, keys are lightning...
The recovery 3button are blocked from the beginning; the DL Menu - I did not have reached it successfully
The PC recognize, that is something on USB, but not what ... so Odin did not see the Mobile, too.
So i was flashing the firmware to use the phone on the tab and while doing it the install failed. the tab cut off and will not come back on at all. no download mode nothing...anything can help. wont connect to odin either. any suggestions
Not come back on at all ?
Contact your service center then
Oh one thing...
When something like this happened, people call it "Bricked" not "Fu***d".

Do you get any lights whatsoever when it's plugged in?
Also, have you tried leaving it on charge for a while in the mains? Generally, when ODIN fails, the phone/tab allows you to get back into download mode, so this is new to me.
Was it flashing the radio (modem.bin) at the time, out of interest?

No modem only the .tar and .pit files. i had flashed my galaxy s plenty of times with no problems. i left it charging tonight while im at work to see if that will do anything but i get no lights or anything. ive seen that some ppl get the pc to device screen but i dont get that either. but just wanted to try some things before shipping it to samsung only bc im in iraq and shipping takes forever.
Do U get anything when plugging the tab via USB to your computer ? And I do not mean Odin, I am just saying if the computer sees the USB connection.
Also, have you tried to press the POWER button and tap the screen at the same time ?

Nope the computer doesn't recognize it either. i get nothing at all..no i haven't tried that ...what exactly will that do?
If I bricked my Tab, I too would describe it as F***ED! But even with my moderate modding experience, Im not ready to do the phone mod. Just seems to me like too much risk.
Good luck with your Tab!

well i figured this would be an appropriate place to ask this type of ? as other ppl do. due to the fact that i was installing firmware from this section of the forums i figured i would ask the developers that read and write here.
anyways...i called samsung and told them idk why it wont cut on and they said to call it a power issue. so im going to send it to them to see if they can tell what i did..hopefully not. but we will see.

Try leaving it connected to your computer for up to 1 hour with Odin loaded and ready on the screen.
Someone it will take time before it allow your PC to talk to it when it a messed up state due to a bad flash!

i dont see the thread on here but it was on here about a week ago. the first one that got you 3g + phone. Im not on my laptop bc im at work but do you know what im takling about.
Edit: i think it was the old JME and 512.pit...
OK just as an update and for anyone who had the same prob...as in tab will not do anything...i called samsung used the 1 yr warranty and told them it was a power issue...that i went to work it was on came home it was off and wouldnt power up so they replaced it with another one.
I tried putting in a rom earlier for my note 3 and it didn't take.
I ended up on that, vibration boot loop.
Odin still worked fine so I tried putting in an original stock rom with root, so I can add recovery.
I could not actually find a fully suitable rom choice, and the samsung website didn't play well with me either. firstly it would not let me register for some reason...anyway.
I am UK on O2 running 9005 SO I put in N9005XXUDMJ7-PRE-ROOTED-KNOX-FREE-ODEX-BL-FREE
I don't know if that was the right choice, I set it up on PDA, and unclicked partition
It's been stuck possibly hanging on ext4 sys for over an hour.
The references I have seen suggest it takes a long time but how long is too long?
I don't want to pull the plug to brick the device completely.
I have a cwm recovery so all I need is to put the recovery back in and I should be good to go...
If this is hanging, what other options do I have?
How long is too long?
Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated, and a drinks on me...
I am kinda freaking out, have seen similar threads, but because the firmwares are so different they didn't really help..or perhaps I misread things...but nothing really covered not being able to load the recovery software itself
consider me lizard brain in freak out mode right now..
please reply promptly with something.
Can you still boot to cwm or download mode only?

Over one hour is too long to flash something even a full stock rom. Something is wrong there.
So you're saying you have no access to an original stock rom of your phone? If there is a problem like this flashing, I would flash the stock rom first then just root and install cwm. The first thing you want to do is have a working phone then just do the other stuff after like rooting, etc..
If what you posted is your stock rom, then download here and flash through odin.
There's also a newer one which is MK2 which you can download here.
Either one is stock.
Downloading the mk 2 now to test
That sorted me out thank you very much.

There are a lot of good people here that will help you. You don't need to give anything back. And be sure to ALWAYS have a NANDROID backup so that you can restore your phone if anything bad happens.
This used to be easy.
After 8 hours yesterday I think I managed to root the phone. CWM/TWRP will not install. At all, under any method. Rom manager, goo manager, I now get this stupid message that says that "an application attempted to access something unauthorized and has been blocked" over and over.
Just trying to flash CM11 rom. Guess I need to learn how to sideload or something? I physically can't get my phone to recovery mode other than the stock Android, which does not have the "flash zip from sdcard" option.
For the love of god help me. My phone stopped working around 2 pm yesterday and I seriously can't believe I'm about to be going into day 2 of this, so rather than drive myself crazy i'm going to wait for help
bump please help should be simple

its the official samsung cable. and yes i tried others
tried other versions of odin as well
and different versions of both twrp and cwm
its crazy i tells ya xD
If it fails to flash true Odin, then you are doing something wrong.
- Different pc
- Reinstall drivers
- Different cable
- Different usb port
- Make sure kies is not running in the background
What are you running? Windows 8? Try a windows 7 pc.
Post the details of the error you are getting.
Also when the flash goes succesfull, but you still don't have a custom recovery, then uncheck auto-reboot.
can someone please link me to a guaranteed working version of a flashable recovery for odin ?
I know its a lot to ask but I've actually gone through almost that entire list you listed
tried diff cables
no kies runnning
on windows 7
drivers been installed twice
maybe i should try the other port, but in case that doesnt work can anyone just link me? sorry i've just never had this much problems with this, must be b/c of the new security knox update or w/e in oct of last year. Last June I did all this in about 15 minutes....
I had the same trouble with the knox crap yesterday, the only way I could get it rooted and/or with custom recovery was to use the Cyanogen windows installer, then when CM booted I then rebooted into recovery and installed a different rom from there. :good:

Hi i know youve already said said its officail cable but im saying try another different s4 cable. Because when i was installing recovery or anything it wouldnt let me (i thought i had original white s4 cable) but then i got my dads cable (hes gt s4) and it worked instantly. These fake cables are at large and its very very difficult to tell if its original.
Also like previous guy said using a different computer/laptop also helps i know because ive flashed my phones since day 1.
GL and plz let me know if u managed to fix it another way as its always good to try new options when others fail.

It will get you to download the installer (or http://dist01.slc.cyngn.com/CMInstaller.msi?t=1403660099360) the click it to run, It may download an update for itself, then it will download recovery, operating system, gapps, then start to install everything. About 300mb altogether.
That way you don't need the tar files, just search on this sight for flashable from recovery for the recovery files you want. (I use the touch versions myself).

So do you have an AT&T phone? If you do, you are in the wrong section of the forum.
Hi guys!
I would just like to start by apologizing for making another thread about a bricked note4, however I have read about so much I don't know which advice to go with anymore. I'm also a complete novice when it comes to this.
So long story short, my note 4 started playing up and lagging, eventually not turning back on at all. After endless attempts using odin and flashing what I seemed to have thought was the right firmware, it whittled down to about 1 in 5 attempts of trying to enter download mode (using the buttons) on the phone actually working. Now its completely bricked...no power, no download mode, nothing!
Just like to reiterate, I'm a complete novice,sorry if I'm not making sense, my knowledge doesn't go further than articles and google!
I have tried using kies to recover my phone and it cant recognize it...
I have read about using adb to get my phone into download mode, but I couldn't understand the explanation given well enough to use it...
I bought a 16gb micro sd card and have tried writing an unbrick image to it but I get no response off my phone, also tried another file, possibly sdc? cdc? cant quite remember, but that failed too.
I don't even know if the files I'm using are correct, I got them from a forum on here.
I'm at a loss!
The only hope I have left is if someone is able tell me if any steps I have tried are correct, and possibly provide me with the correct unbrick image?
Also, when I plug my phone into my computer via usb, there is a noise that sounds but nothing else happens, don't know if these means anything. As far as I'm aware I also have correct drivers installed.
Sorry about the long explanation!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Lucy.
Only logical result from your explanation is you have a hardware problem.
I dont think you are gonna be able to solve it with software...
Time for service visit i guess..

Nope.. I have no idea.. Sorry
Try the sd recovery method .
First you can try to flash the pit partion .
You can find that on xda .
Just search for note 4 pit files.
Download the n910f pit file with correct csc.
TRY flashing via download mode.
Try flashing .
Use this guide for using sd card to get into download mode if you cant access download mode
There is a method for http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/57e756f41dc6e/read me for brick fix.txt
