[possible fix] Broken camera after flashing MJ4 modem - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
After flashing MJ4 modem from official XXUDMJ6 my camera was not able to record any videos anymore.
Gave me an error and force closed a few seconds after pressing on the record button. Also happened with every other camera app.
Found a possible fix that worked for me, you might want to give it a try if you have the same issues.
What to do:
- Flash official untouched XXUDMJ6 firmware with Odin
- Reboot to download mode
- Flash XXUBMJ1 modem (get it here) via Odin 3.09
- Untick "Auto Reboot" and Flash as CP
- After flashing process is finished reboot in download mode again with 3 button combination and flash modem again (you may need to restart Odin and untick Auto Reboot)
- After flashing is done reboot smartphone
- Smartphone will start but will not ask for PIN and will have no connection, also system process will force close
- Reboot to download mode and reflash the whole untouched XXUDMJ6 firmware again
- Reboot, camera should be working now
I flashed Omega v 3.0 after this and camera still works.

Flashing non-hlos from stock mj6 should be a good solution also

Flashing NON-HLOS.bin and modem.bin wasn't enough in my case. Even adding hidden.img.ext4 and multiple factory resets didn't solve the problem and camera and WLAN kept broken.
The only solution was to include boot.img and recovery.img from the unmodified Samsung tar-file.
Create a tar.md5 including the following files:
NON-HLOS.bin
boot.img
cache.img.ext4 <- created by Universal RDLV
hidden.img.ext4
modem.bin
recovery.img
system.img.ext4 <- created by Universal RDLV
DO NOT INCLUDE THE .MDB FILES!!! DO NOT INCLUDE UNMODIFIED system.img.ex4!!!
Use Odin from the RDLV-Bundle to flash that tar.md5 file and you will be fine. I'm on OXAUDMJ6 now with Knox-Flag 0x0 and working root, camera and WLAN.
Additionally I changed my region from XEF (France) to BTU (UK) with "Galaxy CSC Changer" (PlayStore) to match the region of the CSC file - but that step should be optional.
Using the wrong CSC doesn't change the Knox-Flag - I had to do it to change from XEF to BTU, because they are not in the same multi.csc file.

E:signature verification failed, Installing Muti-CSC Installtion adorted

Hi,
Last night tried to upgrade the firmware of my Tad but something goes totally wrong.
My device was Vodafone GR fully unlooked with firmware:
PDA: P1000BUJI4
PHONE: P1000BUJI3
CSC: P1000VGRJI1
I have try to back up the firmware using “Roto Backup!” but “adb shell” command not completed.
I pressed with the firmware update without having the backup using this steps:
Download from Famfirmware P1000XXJMA and Odin3 v1.7
Use the included in Odin P1_20100909.pit and in PDA the JMA.tar file using Repartition, Auto reboot and F.Reset time.
Enter the device in Download mode and update without error.
After finishing the update, device rebooted in Download mode again.
Disconnect device from USB and reboot holding the Power bottom.
The devise stack in Samsung logo and vibrate once and then another 3times, this happened in loop.
Try to flash older firmware using Odin3 v1.3 1 with error
<ID:0/015> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/015> boot.bin
<ID:0/015>
<ID:0/015> Complete(Write) operation failed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try to flash the Vodafone P1000BUJI4 and discover that installing CSC after reset get error E:signature verification failed, Installing Muti-CSC Installtion adorted.
Now Tap be able to boot but not PDA and CSC version appeared only the Phone version appeared P1000XXJM6 (the last tried)
PDA:
PHONE: P1000XXJM6
CSC:
Any Ideas???
Try to flash the JJ4 with P1(which is a full firmware, if you got errors go ahead with the JM6 still without repartition) and then JM6 don't select re-partition when you flash the JM6.
I have install the P1000XXJM6 form http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=854300
Now PDA and CSC appeared correctly.
I steal cannot downgrade.
Also I discover that E:signature verification failed, Installing Muti-CSC Installtion adorted error appeared when I try to install CSC from other version.
Also in JM6 non included Greek input language, is it normal???
Is there any firmware with Greek language input???
Thanks’ in advanced.

A little bit late, but better than nothing
If you want your tab to have latest Vodafone firmware (gingerbread) follow the instructions below:
----1) download Check Fus Downloader 2.1 from here
----2) use it with the following codes shown below to download latest gingerbread official firmware for your tab:
-------In standard tab, write the following inside the firmware info label:
-------Product code: GT-P1000CWAVGR
-------PDA: P1000BUJMC
-------CSC: P1000VGRJM3
-------Phone: P1000BUJM2
-------Press check firmware. Get it! (download button)
-------Flash it with odin 1.7
-------Done and enjoy your fresh tab!
----3) if you want to root it also, get this attachment CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip from this post.
----------- Follow the following instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
----------- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
----------- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
----------- Start ODIN
----------- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
----------- Put your phone in download mode
----------- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
----------- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
----------- Click the START button
----------- Wait for the phone to reboot
----------- Done!
----4) optional, but better to do it: when it reboots, before first start, press volume down and use wipe in every option you see available. look at the advanced submenu also (dalvik cache). Backup important files first, you will lose everything! You have to do this step to erase foreign CSC setting and set it back to VGR!!!
Done! your tab will work like a charm! I hope this helps you!

[Q] Problems with updating bootloader / modem

edit:
I finally managed now to flash DBT NB4 with PIT..
Hello guys,
I have some problems with my N9005.
First problem:
I tried to update my bootloader, also modem witn Odin 3.09
BL: NA6
Modem: NA2
Tried to update bootloader to ND5, also tried modem to NC2. I used key combo to get into download mode.
Auto Reboot and F Reset Time ticked, nothing else. Tried one by one, first BL with BL tab, modem with CP tab
Nothing changed after reboot... still NA6 and NA2
I also used mobile odin, skips modem cuz of write protection. This also is readable in download mode.
Second problem:
After every reboot (normal, recovery, etc.) the time is reset, you have to config manually or let it grab frome time-servers.
Annoying...
Can anyone help me?
Can anyone help me?
I tried to flash N9005XXUENB7_N9005DBTENB2_N9005XXUENB1_HOME.tar.md5 with PDA tab now, with hidden.img it stopped with FAIL (size)
So I used the pit file for DBT and tried again, still FAIL! (Size)
Note 3 now starts only to download mode with firmware upgrade error warning...
edit:
I finally managed now to flash DBT NB4 with PIT..
Sometimes pit file is needed for certain firmware.

When updating bootloader and modem, u have to shutdown phone completely before the 3 combos. And do it one by one at the correct tab.

G950f - After TWRP stuck on logo, no recovery, odin says 'no PIT patrition'.. help!

Hi all, i've also posted this on sammobile but have had little response. I installed TWRP on my S8 (G950f) and when it rebooted got stuck on the logo screen. I cannot enter recovery mode, only download mode. I've tried flashing with the latest Odin and it fails at the start with error DeviceInfo. So i installed an older version of Odin and now receive the error 'Set PIT file'. I cannot find a PIT file online for the G950f and upon reading it seems this is taken from the CSC file when 'repartition' is selected. I've done this to no avail, still 'Set PIT File' is displayed. I'm certain that the firmware is correct as it's been used before with success. For some reason this TWRP seems to have effed things up. I'm close to putting the phone on Ebay and never touching samsung again

Hi, i've downloaded the file mentioned but it's a zip file and there's no BL file contained within it. I can't install via recovery as my phone wont enter recovery.

Download the BL from https://www.sammobile.com/devices/ or using https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
OK I've gotten somewhere (i hope). Followed your suggestion and after repeatedly pressing the Start button in ODIN have managed (somehow) to get into TWRP. However when i click 'install' the 'internal memory' displays as 0 with no option to select it.
Where do i go from here? Looks as if the internal storage is corrupt
The pit file is located in the CSC_OXM_G950FOXM1... file. Open it with winrar or 7zip and extract it.

Yes, you need to use Odin, or alternatively Smart Switch.

I've (kinda) managed to sort it!
Looked online and downloaded the files for AQF7 (just the BL and CP files) and whilst in download mode clicked start, held the 3 download buttons down again and hammered the start button in odin.. that made it boot into TWRP. However this just proved there was no partition there as the internal memory read zero.
So i downloaded the firmware for my device (XEU) and opened the CSC file with 7-zip and took out the .PIT file then in ODIN I JUST added the .PIT file and BL files. Pressed start and it worked but still only booted to the logo screen.
Next i added the AP file in ODIN and flashed that. This now went without a problem as the .PIT file had done its job repartitioning the phone.. The phone then restarted and booted to the welcome screen.
Some oddities which i don't understand are that in my Settings menu i now have an option 'T roaming' which shouldn't be there. and also a service provider option for 'KT twophone' whoever that is.
Confusing as i selected my countries (UK) XEU firmware.
My phone says 'international' on the boxes label so whether it's different firmware i'm not sure (couldn't find an international firmware on sam mobile).
*Edit..
I discovered that the additional options in the settings menu were due to me not flashing the CSC file so i reflashed all files at once (ensuring that odin had been reset first) and everythings back to normal.
Interestingly i wonder if i flashed a USA CSC file, would it give me access to the additional content available through the samsung USA store - they seem to have more AOD's, addons etc
Well Derr... because i discovered that android pay didn't work i felt like i had no option but to install TWRP... tried it, followed the instructions perfectly and it failed on DeviceInfo so now i'm back to the beginning.. stuck at the galaxy logo screen ( getting fed up of this phone now

It got worse, however i've fixed it. I kept getting stuck in a boot loop despite having a successful flash. I just happened to check the files being flashed and realised that the BL file was the AQF7 bootloader and the other files were from my countries firmware. so i reflashed just the BL file for my country and the phone has now started
It looks as though flashing with TWRP won't work on my device for some reason as it seems to delete or corrupt the PIT. It's then a pain to get it all back working again.
Any other options to install TWRP?
Thanks

Hey mate. I am in the exact same boat as you, I am new to this and need some help. Where did you get your files, could you link them to me please? I don't know what I am meant to be doing and my back up didn't work properly so I can't even just go back to stock

Install Canadian Firmware (SM-J320W8) in AT&T Variant (SM-J320A)

I Have a J3 SM-J320A and I want to install the Canada Firmware SM-J320W8. If I try to flash the ROM with ODIN appears a bootloader error on the phone and fails to flash sboot.bin.
Is there a way for install the firmware or make .tar file without the bootloader?
I made a .tar file just with system.img file and another file without sboot.bin for try to flash it with odin but when I press start ODIN closes by itself.
Both models have the same chipset and supports the same frequency networks.

[SOLVED] Custom binary blocked by frp forgot OEM - back to stock firmware but how?

Hi,
I have my moms SM-A310F
..fool me I forgot to enable OEM before installing TWRP and flashing the latest LineageOS
After a reboot it shows "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock"
After some research I came to the conclusion that only flashing back to the Samsung firmware could save me.
I'm going to use Odin.
My problem is that the firmware provided by samMobile and samfrew both only provide .img and .bin files.
I found out how to convert them over here: [Script][Tool] how to create a tar.md5 file from img For Odin
But which ones do I need to convert? And where do I need to flash tem to in Odin?
I got:
boot.img
cache.img
cm.bin
hidden.img
modem.bin
recovery.img
sboot.bin
system.img
Odin gives me the options to flash:
BL
AP
CP
CSC
USERDATA
I know that I can ignore USERDATA. But what about the others?
Do in need to flash all the files above? And which file goes where?
Thanks a lot, my mom (and I) will be very thankful for your help.. ;-)
just realised that unzipping the .zip file (firmware) on a Mac caused the issue. If I unzip on Windows i get a tar.md5 that I can flash on AP
on Mac unziping gives me a folder with all the mentioned files.
I have a big problem. Please help. I unknowingly disabled developer mode and when I reboot it says "Custom binary blocked by FRP. (boot.img)" or "Custom binary blocked by FRP. (recovery.img)" in recovery. The worst thing is that Odin mode does not recognize the device. I have also installed the latest samsung drivers. But it is useless. My device is J2 Prime or G532F. Please help me...
