nope i dont where to download the STOCK and even the procedure
I would DL stock KitKat with this link:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=33706
You might have to register to DL but sammobile is the only place I can find a decent DL for it.
Once it downloads unzip the file.
Download Odin 3.09 (you can find a free download everywhere).
Make sure your device is off, then hold vol dn and them power till it says to hit the button for download mode.
Once in download mode plug into your computer and if windows 7 or 8 let the drivers install fully.
If it does not find drivers then look for them manually.
Once you've got the drivers open Odin. It should be a green light on comm 1 or something like that showing a device is plugged into it.
Make sure ONLY F Reset Time and Auto Reboot are checked and nothing else.
Hit the AP button and find the tar file or md5 file you unzipped earlier.
Once it loads up hit start and hope for the best while it flashes.
Warning; read more about this before you try it. Once KitKat flashes do not try to downgrade, but read all about it.
I linked you to firmware for device SM-T231 so that had better be your device. Triple and quadruple check to make sure the file is the right one for your device...
Hope this helps.

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!
Only note, I've used i9300_repair_efs.tar for AP like farhaanwireless suggested and device is restoring as I type this
Thanks a ton once more

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
Hello guys. I hope I posted in the right section as this is my first post here. I tried to root my phone (S4 I9505) today,but it failed. Now I'm stuck at the screen where it says to "select recovery in Kies". Can anyone help me? Samsung Smart Switch does not recognize my device. As I searched in other posts,most of the persons with this problem were able to use button combinations. In my case, I CANNOT enter Download,or Recovery mode. This is very important,so please help me.
Flash the stock rom using Odin even if the phone only displays the firmware upgrade screen.

Any instructions for doing that please? I repeat,I cannot acces download/recovery mode.
FOUND A SOLUTION.
1) I found this thread,and saw a reply talking about a .PIT file.
2)Searched for,and found the said file here
3)Selected the "PIT" option in Odin,searched for the file,and then I pressed "Start". It took 2 seconds to pass,and the phone rebooted without any problem.
Hi, I'm stuck. I've soft bricked my G900F. Can someone help me restore it please?
When I turn the phone on, without selecting Download mode, it goes straight to it, and displays the following message
"Firmware upgrage encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
When I connect it to my computer with Odin open in administrator mode, it is recognised by Odin.
I have visited samknows and samsung-updates, but I don't know which one I'm supposed to download.
I'm in the UK and ideally want stock unbranded firmware, or something to get it working again.
So far, each firmware I have downloaded and then used Odin to flash the S5 has failed.
Please can someone help? Thanks in advance
