Hello,
First of all, I have to say that I'm quite a newbie here.
I had to get a ROOT access to my brand new Galaxy note 3 in order to install a screencasting app.
Therefore, I followed the root_de_la_vega process, which I found on a french website (I now realize that maybe that was not perfectly up to date ).
Anyway, it seemed to work fine, as I now have root access.
However, I'm facing a few annoying little problems now.
Knox is void 0x1. It seems there's no solution for this yet. So I guess I'll have to wait...
A notification message now comes regularly, which says something like 'Detection information - The device detected that an application is trying to perform some unauthorized activities. In order to protect your device, we recommend you to restart it.' (This is translated from french, so the exact message may be slightly different in english)
I can't use the S-Pen anymore as a keyboard input. The S-Pen works fine, (e.g. drawing apps), but the option does not show up in the keyboard. So it's impossible to use the handwriting text recognition feature.
I'm really frustrated with this latter problem, as this was the killer feature that made me buy the Note 3.
I also hope that there are no other hidden troubles,such as network efficiency...
Would you have some ways to help me, especially for the s-pen problem, and as a bonus, with the alert notification?
Thank you so much!
now that you tripped the knox, you can flash some other rom, or stock
At first i have to say that I'm on a German ROM so titles may vary a bit. This problem with unauthorised apps is very easy. Just go into settings and security. Under unknown sources there's an entry called check apps (or similar). Just deactivate that.
And for the inline handwriting go into s pen settings and check direct pen-entry (or similar).

Handwriting is now differently organised. You have to activate it in the settings as I said and then hover a text input field with your pen, then a small symbol shows up, just click that and handwriting field opens.

Thanks.
I found the message check box in the security options. But unchecking it does not prevent the notification from appearing.
The s-pen was already activated. There is this testing demonstration with the field to hover. When I click on it, it throws an error : "Samsung keyboard has stopped working" :crying:
Which other ROM or stock could I install? Will I still receive the updates?

Once you disabled app-checking you have to reboot maybe. And to solve the Spen problem just flash over a clean Rom. I can't imagine how to solve that without root or reflashing.
I tried to reflash with Odin from this link :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461929
However, an error happened at the begining of the update, and I couldn't restart the phone.
Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..

Therefore I tried to initialize the firmware from Kies.
But another error happened during the update : "Dll Load Fail".
I reflashed with the first ROOT image : N9005XXUBMJ1_VEGA.tar.md5, and I get back to the same status as before : no handwriting recognition, and error notifications.
Could you please help me with the right procedure to recover the phone with a stock ROM ?
Thank you so much!

Good day everyone. I joined this forum with the hope of finding solution to my seemingly unfixable S4 GT-i9500. I initially had a stock lollipop 5.0.1 China version flashed on it using odin because I was not patient for my region's to be released. Eventually when my region's version was released I tried flashing it using odin and my phone got bricked. I've tried almost all methods posted online in order to solve the problem but I'm yet to make a head way. Whenever I'm flashing the firmware it will get stuck at "system.img" then fail. I've tried doing it several times even with different firmwares but the same problem persists. I've tried connecting to kies (different versions) to complete the upgrade but it wouldn't connect.
Whenever I take it to download mode this is what shows on my screen
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME - GT-I9500CHN
CURRENT BINARY- Samsung official
SYSTEM STATUS- Custom
Secure download- Enabled
KNOX WARRANTY VOID- 1

Whenever I flash the ROM using odin I get the following log

1. PRODUCT NAME - GT-I9500CHN. This CHN is from China.
2. Yes but better no. You always have to flash the firmware of your device, no of your region.
3. You can help your friends asking in XDA anyway :highfive:

Thanks for your swift responses and your immeasurable help, if I can hook you up I will buy you a drink, you don't know how happy you made me. I still have some questions though. I initially downloaded a china version 5.0.1 (I9500ZCUIOH2_I9500CHNIOH2_CHN) which I flashed several times after my region's failed but it didn't work while the one you posted (I9500ZCUJOH2_I9500CHNJOH2_CHN) worked. What is the difference between the 2 firmwares? Also if I want to flash my region's how can I go about it? Because most of the functionality of the phone is Chinese so I can't utilize it's function 100%.
Please indulge my inquisitiveness. Thanks.

I've installed the apps there is nothing under "available CSC codes". Does that mean I can't flash other firmware aside the current one? If I can how will I go about it?
Also since the return of my phone from the land of the dead the google play store have not worked. It's keep crashing and whenever I open it always shows "check your connection and try again". I've tried phone data and wifi, clear cache, force stop, uninstall and re-installed it but its still the same story. Please what do you suggest? Thanks for your immeasurable help. :good:

I did all those and yet the google play service I re-downloaded keeps crashing and the google play store still won't open. In fact I had to uninstall the google play service because it kept crashing and was being a nuisance. What do you suggest again? Thanks.

Take a look: HERE.
I've got a bigger problem Joku!
Aside the fact that Google Play service still won't work on my phone another problem had ensued. It started with frequent crashing of few applications on my phone and now graduated to frequent restarting and restarting. Whenever it restarts the battery will go from whatever percentage it was to 0%. I tried factory reset, cleared cache, uninstall updates, disable auto sync among other things but the situation keeps getting worse. Now the phone barely stays on, it is always rebooting/restarting and it is becoming almost useless. Please your help is urgently needed.

I've done that as instructed but there is neither a pre-installed google play services nor a google play store on my phone. I went online to try and download some google play services apk files but I keep getting the error message 'there is a problem parsing the package' which I'm sure it's because it is incompatible with my phone because I already allowed 'install from unknown sources'. please can you give me an apk link that will surely be compatible with my phone? Thanks.

I've downloaded and installed it but it keeps crashing and won't work for any of my apps that depends on Google services and neither will it work for play store. I'm sorry for being such a bother, I just really hope you will be able to unravel the mystery behind this shii. Thanks.
This post is to help anyone that upgraded to Lollipop 5.0 from KitKat 4.4.2 with any newer 2012+ devices (Not just the Note 3, but also s4 etc.) exhibiting the symptoms in the title of this post.
So i picked up a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900W8 and got the OTA update from KitKat 4.4.2 to Lollipop 5.0 and thought "Cool!" but alas, was I to be sadly informed of a major issue when I rebooted.
It started up fine but when I hit the back button it didn't respond. Then I hit the menu button and "Search" came up instead. I freaked, I lost my cool. Then my technical mind took hold and I started digging through XDA with their search tool thinking "Maybe i'm not the only one that is having this problem" and WOAH! Did I ever find a load of trouble.
Here's what i found out:
Ebay and Aliexpress sellers of replacement screens for alot (and i mean ALOT) of samsung phones from 2012 and newer used a compatible chip from a company called Cypress who makes the touchkeys chip for samsung (and other phone makers) and that OEM part number is CY8C20065. The sellers/manufacturers of replacement screens are using the compatible Cypress chip part which is the CY8C20236A.
The upgrade to 5.0 installs new firmwares throughout the phone INCLUDING the IC that controls the capacitive keys (Menu + Back) to version 0x12, from the KitKat version 0x10. The IC CY820236A is NOT compatible with the newer 0x12 firmware and gets hosed.
Now for a Solution that you may or may not like: The only way thusfar that I have found that works is to DOWNGRADE back to Kitkat 4.4.2 as anything higher screws the IC controller up and you will have to replace your LCD+digitizer (at $180+ this is not an option, cheaper to go get a phone online used with the original screen and everything stock) This is a fully STOCK recovery to a 100% working unit. No Root, other add-ons etc.
Now, unless someone (BIG HINT HERE to devs) can figure out this issue, alot of people are stuck with a paperweight. You can try and add the softkeys onto the screen, or flash this kernel but it WILL trip your Knox counter and set you to "Custom" Binary and Status.
I take NO credit for this post at all, I just almagamated the information from this and this post.

Yes, if you read the threads, wiping the unit before primary boot has no effect on this issue at all. once you upgrade to Lollipop, the IC is written to and is corrupted after that. Nothing can stop this process save for a non-stock update/upgrade that has the 0x12 firmware altered/downgraded and that's where the kernel flash I listed comes in to restore (but void the warranty) the keys to proper working state.

I originally posted this under the wrong thread so apologies for the duplication. It was pointed out to me that my original post was in the wrong spot.
I'm super new to all of this but have spent the last two days trying to educate myself on how to use Odin after my S8 soft-bricked on me two days ago. I'm running into an issue with Odin's flashing not working for some reason and I can't seem to find any trouble shooting guides that solve the problem and I'm wondering if I maybe have set it up incorrectly somehow.
I'm running an SM-G950W through a Telus carrier in Canada and pulled the firmware through Samfirm since Sammobile is down currently. I've got the phone in download mode and the appropriate files in the appropriate slots in Odin. I'm looking to flash it without losing the data for the time being, if I can, just so I can back it up since apparently my cloud service backup failed and I have some relatively important images on there (ie. my mother's funeral) that I'd like to not lose if I can help it. Once I've pulled those, I plan to do a factory reset and failing that, plan to return the phone to my provider.
Odin sets up the files ok, recognizes the phone, and allows me to start but then it just doesn't actually seem to work. It doesn't throw any error codes or anything it just gives me the following:
<ID:0/004> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I've updated the Samsung USB drivers, I've tried multiple ports. I've cycled the phone. I installed and then shut down Kies (I had read suggestions on installing it to establish a connection with the device and the computer and then disabling it so it didn't conflict with Odin). I'm running Odin 3.12.3. I'm figuring I'll need to go back to an earlier firmware edition, once the sammobile servers are back up, maybe? Or is there some other suggestion I might try to figure this out.
I'll add I've not rooted or anything before. I hadn't done any sort of customization to my phone to trigger this. It started with random rebooting. Then multiple apps and functions started throwing errors repeatedly without break (made it impossible to type or use anything because it was so constant). The main one was cloud storage stopping working. Once I tracked that down and cleared the cache, it shifted to rebooting nonstop until it just stuck on the Samsung screen. Now that's the only screen it'll do unless I put it in recovery or download mode. I got it into safe mode once but it still rebooted itself which is what makes me think it's more than just an app issue or anything third party and will require a factory reset once I've retrieved the data I want to back up.
I appreciate any suggestions or help that can be provided.
I've now also tried the download mode cycle boot while starting Odin flash trick. While it didn't make Odin succeed, it did generate a slightly different Odin output:
<ID:0/005> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..

Still no luck successfully flashing though.
I had a problem with my s8 when I flashed 950u to my 950w Odin was showing fail so I did some YouTube video search and found a modified Odin that helped.

I think that the problem is your computer, maybe you should try with a different one.
Perhaps you could also try using third party applications that might help easily retrieve all the data from your device.

Good luck.
Thanks @hemp_invader. I did try a new computer and the flash passed but my phone saw no change. I saw some of those programs and wasn't sure if they were... trustworthy?

I had a problem with my s8 when I flashed 950u to my 950w Odin was showing fail so I did some YouTube video search and found a modified Odin that helped.

I got Odin to flash using a different computer but the phone is still unchanged in terms of being able to load in. I wasn't able to get that link to work though.

You're welcome. If there was no change on your phone, perhaps you already have the firmware you are trying to install. Are you on AQL5? If not, review the steps performed, maybe you missed something.
I have always been using their products to recover lost data, and never had one single problem.
I forgot about MobilEdit, which is more popular, you might want to check the forensics version for better results.

I'm on AQK7 which matches what's listed in recovery mode and the most recent firmware I could find.
I tried Android 7 data recovery but it couldn't find my phone. Dr. Fone sees my phone but the data extraction option only supports up to S6/S6 Edge, not S8. I downloaded the mobiledit forensic version but it requires being able to approve a code on the screen to gain access which I can't do since I can only enter Recovery and Download mode.

I've got mobiledit forensic express seeing the phone but it only sees it for a split second before the program loses the connection even though the phone screen remains on the load screen. I was able to hit next one time to see that it'll let me download the full data content of the phone but the connection isn't staying which is limiting me. I'm not sure how to trouble shoot that.
[Edit]: I waited it out and the connection finally stuck, I ran the full content extraction, and while it found 1 SIM card SMS and several of my contacts, it says it was unable to access my images, audio, video folders. Even using the file manager to browse the folders showed no results. It is suggesting rooting the phone but I'm not confident that won't void my contract/coverage so I'm guessing that my phone wiped my data already in its constant bootloop and this might be a lost cause. I'll run the extraction a couple more times but it's not looking hopeful.

Rooting your phone will not void your warranty. You can flash a stock os at any time and nothing is changed. Knox is never incremented to 0x1 as 0x1 is impossible on the g950w. The whole "root trips Knox" thing is a myth and imo needs to be eradicated from our collective memory.
You could try flashing a factory test firmware first, worked for me but I have 950F.
G950U,W COMBINATION FA70 G950USQU1AQDB FACTORY MULTI CERT
G950U,W COMBINATION FA70 G950USQU1AQG3 FACTORY MULTI CERT
G950U,W COMBINATION FA70 G950USQU1AQI3 FACTORY MULTI CERT
G950U,W COMBINATION FA70 G950USQU1AQK1 FACTORY MULTI CERT
G950U,W COMBINATION FA70 G950USQU2AQK2 FACTORY MULTI CERT
Then after that flash every newer firmware in order of release (just in case).
Also make sure you have latest Odin (3.12.7) and don't tick any extra boxes like re-partition etc. Use correct files (BL,AP,CP,HOME_CSC)
Did you turn ON OEM Unlock in developer before you began? Also if you can get back into the phone get your data - flashing stock WILL lose your data. Your other choice is to use ADB to copy out the files. You could also put a MicroSD card in and then use Odin to flash the latest TWRP - hold down [Vol Up] + [Bixby] +[Power] as you press [Start] in Odin to make sure you get to TWRP.
Once you're in TWRP use File Manage (in Advanced) to find the pics and copy them over to the MicroSD.
Then you can continue with the Root/Build process
Hello guys,
I am trying to update from CRC7 to CRD7 using Odin latest version like I have always did. Update files have been downloaded using SamFirm.
Sadly, this time was different. The process seemed to be doing fine, until this RQT_CLOSE log entry (it was not displayed as an error) appeared and the device rebooted. At least for Odin, the process resulted as PASSED with no errors. However, no files have been sent to the device.
I have searched this RQT_CLOSE thing in google, some say it is a security setting, and most results found have a couple of years old, and to be honest I couldn't find something helpful.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks!
So, i recently (like a month or so ago) bought a tab a (from Ger, since i live here) and directly rooted it.
Now since i have some rooting exp from rooting my samsung s4 and my xperia play (who remembers that phone lol) and i didnt find anything new during my (rather short) research, i directly got odin, got twrp and just went right ahead. I did NOT read about the fact that there is a FRP lock and that i have to do the OEM unlock thing in the dev options. This went well a few weeks until i started my tab a yesterday and got the FRP msg on boot. I did some more research, banged my head against a wall for not reading enough beforehand and got a (to my knowledge) stock firmware with recovery ( T580ZCU2AQH2_T580CHN2AQH2_CHN )
and tried to flash that over Odin. It didnt work and i get this
<ID:0/008> Added!!

in the command line thingy with the text

SW REV. Invalid type.

can anyone tell me whats wrong, and suggest what to do instead?
same issue.. Did you manage to get a fix for this?

actually yes, i did this a few months ago already, but iirc i flashed a stock rom from the web (just google it theyre not hard to find), without any rooting shenanigans and disabled the lock and then went through the whole process again
you might need to boot into the rom a few times to make it install the stock recovery tho
FRP lock should not prevent you from flashing a stock ROM via Odin. But you have to flash the correct Android 6 ROM. Go to Sammobile and enter SM-580 and then chose your region. Then download the ROM ending in PL4. When it boots, it will ask for your Google login and password. It is only if you don't know those that the FRP becomes a problem. If you can't flash the PL4 ROM, your problem is NOT the FRP lock, even if Odin says it is. Also, once you get Android 6 to boot, your tablet will automatically update to the latest version from Samsung so long as you don't try to root or install TWRP before it has a chance to update.
edit: BTW, when flash the PL4 ROM, flash only the AP and BL modules.
Yeah i did some research following all that up and noticed i had the wrong ROM because some sites on the internet are very non descriptive, but like i said above i got it working shortly after and i now have a linageOS rom with a more recent android version, all working, thank you anyways for responding how to properly resolve this ^^

Hallo @ all. I hope your can help me with a Problem.
I bought last week from Amzon a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite P610.
I do not can Setup this Tablet why the WiFi Switch turn off by selfe. It is so fast that I am not able to put in the WiFi password. So I set up the Tablet with cable connection between the Tab and my Galaxy note 10 +. Only my accounts are not copied why for that it needed WiFi.
I searched for this Problem on Google and it seems a lot of People has this Problem after the Update to Android 11 but nowhere is a Way to solve this Bug. Also Bluetooth crashes with the Message App will be end.
So I thought it is a Problem with the OTA and when not all People has the Problem than I will flash the Rom new through Odin.
So I loaded Frija (SamFirm are not able to download a Rom). I typed in SM-P610 and csc is DBT.
It loaded the Rom.
In the zip are no CP File but I never flashed a Tab so maybe it is ok.
I restarted the Tab in the download Mode.
In Odin I set up BL, AP, and in CSC I set CSS Tar not Home CSC.
Than I started the Flash Process.
Odin still Flash and hung on download File (system.img).
On the Tab comes the Message:
FRP Lock
FRP Lock Pit File ignored Download.
On the Tab are no changes. I can still reboot in system. So I google and thought ok I reset the Tab. So I did it and repeated the Prozedure but the same Problem, FRP block the flash of the Firmware. Samsung can not help. The customer service only says do a reset. The Android 12 Update comes in May 22. But without Internet the Tab is useless.
Anybody maybe has a Idea?
I do not has make changes. I do not turn on USB debugging, do not activate OEM Unlock and do not activated the Developer Option.

There is no CP because it is a tablet and not a phone. The CP is for the phone modem. You must enable Dev Options and OEM unlock to flash anything. Even stock. But before I'd try flashing a new ROM, I'd factory reset the tablet via recovery to see if that would fix the wifi and bluetooth problems.
Ok. I have solved the Problem. My Odin Version was to old. I User Odin 3.7.x
But to new flash the Rom solved not the Problem. Wifi still turns off by selfe. I send the Tqb back to Amazon. Friday I get a new one not from Amazon Warehous. Still lower Space, the 64 GB Variant. I hope it has still Android 10. When it has Android 10 and WiFi works, I do not update for the Moment.
