Hi guys,
I got a p7500 yesterday with my s3 and the seals were broken on the box, I thought nothing of this as it worked fine and acted as new.
I used it fine all day and today plugged it into kies and it prompted a firmware update.
Being so stranger to this (I had an original Tab and the s2) I started the process.
It all worked ok but hung at 9% for over an hour and then turned off.
Turning it back on I had to preform a full reset using the boot menu as kies would not recover the firmware.
Now it is stuck in a boot loop, or when it does load in it is slow and crashes and get stuck int he loop again.
Plugging into kies does nothing now as it say the device cannot be updated through kies.
I am at a total loss, I was loing the thing and should have left alone really but lesson learnt.
Is it totally bricked or is there some hope?
Thanks in advance for any help given, I could not find a topic with my exact issue.
Try an Odin update. Grab the firmware from sammobile.com and put the tablet into download mode

Thanks for the reply.
Any firmware in particular? or just the newest? I downloaded odin when it happened but have not tried it yet.
EDIT tried to update to PDA: P7500XWKL1 ## CSC: P7500XEUKL1 and it has hung at about 9% again
Got it back into recovery mode and into the os but it now will not auto rotate
What did it (odin) stop on?
You could try flashing clockworkmod then try flashing a (custom) rom through recovery.
tutorial for rooting, but you first have to flash cwm 5o root so you can use just that bit of the tutorial 5o flash cwm then pick a custom rom in the development section and try flashing it. I'm on ics-aokp build 37 but you might want to try out a HC rom first, I hear good things about task 14 though i have never tried it (nor have i tried any other HC rom, I wrnt from stock to ICS)

I have searched and searched and cannot find any fix for my issue hopefully I can get the help here like always.
Last night I flashed ktoonz kernel like I have a thousand times before and it failed in TWRP recovery, I thought nothing of it, hit reboot, and am now at a brick wall. My Gs4 acts like the Gs2 with a stuck power button, upon powering it on, it goes straight into a loop vibrating every few seconds over and over, I can't get into recovery mode and for that matter can't even get the the initial Samsung splash screen to pop up. The only thing I can do with the phone is boot into download mode, I tried restoring several times with Heimdall on my Mac and always failed when the system reached 100%, it wouldn't move past that point. I have also just finished flashing it with Odin on a friends Windows laptop which completed successfully each time but the phone is still doing the same thing. I need help, I can't afford a replacement right now and am just a little desperate!

Odin and Heimdall don't have any options to RESTORE anything.
Both those utilities can only do one thing, they can flash firmware
TAR files. (and any other valid TAR files)
My advice to you is to simply go to SamMobile.com and download
the specific odin flash firmware for your phone model and country.
Here is an example of what you will find at SamMobile: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/
Good luck!

I understand what they do, that is why I used them. I downloaded both the amdl and amdb firmware from SamMabile.com and neither of them worked, it still goes through the same process.

I would keep trying Odin. Try different usb ports, don't use hub. Make sure you have the original usb cord. If it can get into download mode there's hope.
I tried flashing through Odin a few more times today with no luck, even tried to repartition with a .pit file and that failed. I think my phone is just screwed.

Actually, I had the same exact problem when I flashed KTkernel to my S4 a while back. At first I tried Odin, and it said flash was successful, but still no recovery mode or any screen.
I actually used KIES, either firmware recovery or firmware update. And that solved it. The phone boot up normally after KIES.

How exactly were you able to do this? Kies doesn't recognize the phone in download mode.
Make sure your KIES is up to date, and it should recognize the phone.

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be working for me, either. Kies is not recognizing my phone in emergency firmware recovery on OS X or Windows.
See if you can find help making kies to recognize your device. I think you should be able to since you used Odin.

Same problem. I tried flashing Ktweaker, install failed, and now the phone just vibrates every few seconds.
I have tried installing the PIT file, as well as the original firmware. Trying to reinstall the recovery ends with a "Fail" message.
Totally stumped.
I scheduled a repair with Samsung. Mines boxed up ready to go, just haven't sent it off yet. I gave up trying to fix it and went back to my iphone.

Hi I posted this in an existing thread but figured I may be better off starting my own.
I have a stock 4.3 note 3 on voda UK. Downloaded the sanmobile firmware and followed their mini guide to flash it.
However it failed at about 95% when i boot now i get a firmware failed to install use kies to restore error. I can still boot back to download mode, but am not sure what to do to get it back on.
Appreciate any help

Thanks, I figured it out by following a guide. I'll post basics in case anyone else struggles with the same;
Went back to Odin 3.07. Had to re-partition it, then do a factory reset at boot loop.
When it came on it was spanish, but i think it was the first time i switched it on too.

Hi, I started a thread needing help with my wifi but it has developed into not even being able to boot at all; it stops at the galaxy logo and either freezes or keeps booting. I have gone to the Odin page with all the different things to do and flashed the file to get back to the original rom but that is really where the trouble began. right now the only thing I can do with my phone is get into download mode, I can't even get into recovery. I have flashed a pit file that worked the first time but I don't know if that is part of the problem or not. Can someone please give me some directions, thanks
Also the phone won't boot at all unless hooked up to a power supply, the battery alone doesn't do anything.

More info is needed. What firmware / bootloader are you on? Was it rooted? Did you have a custom recovery installed? What version of ODIN are you using?

Right now, it sounds like you might need to use enewman17's ODIN debrick file.

It is the AT&T s4. To be honest I don't know what firmware I am on, it is the one the Odin page said to use if you want to go back to stock. I never rooted it. The bootloader would be whatever the latest update was for this phone. I can't get into it to tell you anymore. I am using ODIN 10, the latest one. thanks
Well I finally got into recovery and did a factory reset, now it boots into the AT&T white splash screen before it just turns off. I am also wondering if my battery just died for some reason?

ODIN 10? Try using ODIN 3.09 and see if that helps. The latest update would be Android 4.4.4 NJ4 firmware. This link should help you, it will give you root with safe strap recovery though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/guide-odin-to-stock-updating-rooting-t2926642
I meant 3.10, I will try the older version. What file should I flash?

Check out the link I posted in my last post. It should help you get your phone fixed.
I have been there. I went to the very last option which seems to be what I need unless I am missing something.
Neither odin 3.09 or 3.10 will even flash any file now. it either says invalid md5 or fails when it attempts it.
Well, I finally got it to boot into android but it is flaky at best. It is android 4.3 instead of 4.4 where it was initially. The wifi still doesn't work and now the keyboard keeps crashing everytime I do something. The build is jss15j1337ucuemk2 which I know is older than I had before. Does this give anyone a better idea of what I need to do? If I can get a stable flash then can I flash a modem file to fix the wifi? I really need some direction, thanks
Turns out the battery was completely drained which was causing some of the boot problems, I don't now how that happened but I am charging it now.
Well after using odin 3.8* I got it to install some older firmware ending in mk2 rather than the nc1 or nf4 that I had before the trouble. After I got it to boot, I went back into download mode and flashed the modem file and now everything works execpt I had to force stop Samsung keyboard and use swype. I would like to upgrade my firmware but since for a couple of more weeks it won't have a sim card I can't upgrade OTA. For some reason Kies says that firmware upgrade and initialization isn't supported with this model which makes no sense to me. It also says my firmware is up to date
Does anyone know how to flash to the latest firmware without me going through this nightmare again? thanks

I haven't found anything from Samsung to download. If I flash a newer build, do I also need to flash a modem file and a bootloader or can I just flash the PDA? thanks for explaining this to me.
And can I do a dirty flash so I don't have to lose everything again?
well, now I see that there is no sound. so I guess I will have to flash again.

There's. Something I'm yet to understand. Did you finally manage to boot into recovery? If so, flash a custom recovery (I recommend philz touch recovery) then use it to make complete wipe.
Then boot into download mode and flash latest pda firmware in the compressed file you downloaded. Ps: make sure it's from your region.
May be if you provided me with your region I'd get you all the files required
My s4 was rooted about a year ago with the logo SAMSUNG and Unlocked with an open lock below it when it boots up. I gave this phone to my girlfriends daughter and forgot to tell her not to try and update it. I don't remember the way i rooted it or what software it had on it at the time.
So when I go to recovery after it loads into an AT&T logo and tries to install it and it gets to 24%. After this it bootloops. Any help would be appreciated. My phone model is SGH-I337 , also not sure of what the original firmware is.

Open lock symbol means your phone is rooted not unlocked.
If you could go to the recovery mode (voloume-up+home+power) it would tell you your firmware version. You could try clear cache, factory reset in recovery mode. If it still gives you the bootloop, you might need to flash the firmware via odin.
You can find instructions and necessary files in here and here.
No recovery options
Sorry I left that part out. When it goes to recovery i get the blue text that say recovery then it goes straight to the AT&T installing. So no recovery options. I can still get to the Odin dowloading screen though and it says im running Samsung Original software

One reason I asked you to go to the recovery option was to know what version of firmware you were on before .
Do you remember you were on jelly bean or kick-kat or lollipop? If you do you can find the firmware for jelly bean and kit-kat on the links I mentioned in the previous message.
If you could not recall your firmware, the latest odin flashable firmware we have is kit-kat NB1.
You can flash that one to revive your phone. Then use twoel root to root the phone. After that you can go to lollipop if you want. All the instructions are there.
Woop Woop!

I am glad that it works out for you.
Rooting is so easy from that point. Just get towel root and root it. The link also included in my previous post. After the root you might need to disable the AT&T OTA update too. The instructions are also in that post too.
The phone of my girlfriend has been stuck in a bootloop for a few days. It happened while she watched a video. Apparently at the same time she got a message that her phone ran out of space. Then it crashed and has been stuck in the loop since then. Her phone is not rooted. She did restore the device to default settings using recovery mode. This didn't do anything however.
I've tried using ODIN 3.12.3 to flash the newest rom from sammobile since her carrier is T-Mobile. I followed a guide from adnroid central since I never had done anything like this before. It all worked as far as ODIN goes but is still stuck in the bootloop. I'd link the guide but I need 10 posts before I can include outside links.
I'm not sure what the next step would be. If I should try an older ODIN version or use a different stock rom. Before the whole incident her android version was 6.0.1 I believe. Also in the download mode the product name is SMG-900T.
I hope someone can point me in the right direction on what to do. Thank you!
