So I tried to flash the rom of my galaxy tab.
I first flashed it to JM6, everything fine
Then to JMA, everything fine
Then to JMF, and the tab did not reboot, it went into recovery mode.
I tried rebooting again, it got stuck at Samsung logo, I went to recovery mode and wiped data and rebooted again and it again was stuck at the Samsung logo, I tried doing this 3-4 times and it was always stuck at samsung logo.
I tried flashing it again and no luck.
Then I tried flashing a different rom, the JHA from Roto, and odin failed.
Now my tab has picture I havent seen anywhere else, A phone picture - A PC picture and in between there is a yellow triangle with ! in it.
I can not go to download mode, can not go to recovery mode!
Stuck like this, can anyone help?
ok so when I have the phone+yellow exclamation+computer pics, i used odin to flash it again, and it did flash!
after the flash the screen became the normal download mode, i rebooted and it got stuck again at samsung logo, i did the wipe data thing on recovery mode but it still does not boot, gets stuck at samsung logo.
help please
solved !
went back to base rom jm6, pit csc pda modem files, did boot
then flashed again to jma
now using jma
dont know which rom i should use now, cause jmf did not reboot
Hello everyone,
I have the same problem since yesterday, after wanting to do things too fast. I have a french Tab bought from SFR.
Coming from Roto JME V4, i flashed OC Kernel v2, all fine.
Then when modaco's ext4 kernel drop, i flashed it and did the ext4 conversion : all fine.
On top of that i tried to flash new OC Kernel v6 for ext4, i ended up with freezing home after analysing storage, just like others.
Here's what i did wrong : i didn't backup recovery with CKW has i should have, i tried to flash JME V4 again, thinking it would wipe and i would have started all over again, no matter.
So here i am, odin flash didn't end well, i restart the tab and i have this frightening logo.
Now i would have liked doing like you, flash with odin while this logo's on, but i think the battery's out : whatever i do, tab keeps alterning logo/black screen(like off)/logo/black screen/logo, while pluged ; doesn't show anything if not plugged ; odin can't see anything.
Has anybody got an idea? Just let me know if you need more info (no logcat or screenshot though).
Thanks in advance. Regards,
FF
It sounds like you've probably both had a problem a lot of us have experienced in the past because the JM series ROMS after JM6 do not include dbdata.rfs and this often causes Tabs to error when you enter the recovery console after a flash (or hang at the Samsung logo if you don't go into the recovery console). The way to solve this is either to make sure that the ROM you flash includes dbdata.rfs or flash the dbdata.rfs file from JM6 with Heimdal after you have flashed another ROM. If you look in the topic for the JMG ROM you'll see a number of posts about this and there's a link posted on page 3 to a stock JMG ROM that includes the dbdata.rfs from JM6 and can be flashed straight with Odin.
Hello everyone,
I'm still with the same problem, the Tab don't seem to charge while plugged in, it keeps alternating showing the logo then nothing like the tab's off.
Odin can't see anything as the Tab just keeps turning on & off.
What do you think? screwed? go to shop and play the idiot to get a new tab?
Thanks.

hi all. need help
i've been playing with different roms for couple of years now on different phones and did not have any problems.
till now that is ....
i have installed Omega 21.1, but from time to time phone would lose gsm data connection so i decided to flash something else.
installed [ROM]KOT49H【4.4.2】AOSP official Google Edition and it was good.
for some, God knows what reason, wanted to try Omega19 (4.3). installed fine but sound was broken. when ever phone used any kind of sound it would start flashing or would freeze or something. Flasing any other rom did not help. and for some reason it does not let me change modem with odin.
Last modem i have installed is XXUEMJ5.
tried to do restore using [GUIDE] Unroot/Unbrick, Flash official stock firmware on Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 & I9505 but Odin would fail with Auth error
tried with Odin 3.47, and 3.07
now i still can install rom but stops in logo loop. tried both Omega and google edition.
pls help

Hi,
Once you have installed a TW 4.4.2 ROM , it installs the latest knox bootloader.
At that point , you cannot downgrade your firmware.
You said you installed [ROM]KOT49H【4.4.2】AOSP official Google Edition and it was good.
Your best bet is to re-install that.
As for the modem , there is a technique which you have to try:
Look HERE
That should help.
BTW , I edited your title
thx. will try that and report back.
nope, still stuck @ logo loop
not sure what more combination to test
tried Omega 21.1 with
Bootloader -> BL_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5 and
Modems -> CP_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5
but now it does not get to the logo. shows samsung logo and than screen goes blank.

Hi,
You said you tried the [ROM]KOT49H【4.4.2】AOSP official Google Edition ,and it worked .
So I figured to try and re-install that one.
The other thing you must do between flashing different ROMS is a full wipe (Cache and data)
yes. that was first thing i tested. at best i get the logo loop.
and yes, i do full data wipe before and after reinstallation of the new rom.
cache wipe only whe requested but in this case done that to.
is there a way to see a boot log or something to see where and why booting stops?

The best thing you can do is flash the entire 4.4.2 stock rom via odin.And start from scratch(Recovery/Custom rom) Since you already flashed the newestbootloader (from OMEGA file) .This mean your knox is now triggered and your warranty is now void 0x01.

Hi,
Perhaps you should try to find the latest test stock 4.4.2 firmware ( I9505XXUFNA1) and flash it in odin.
Wipe data and cache before and after flashing.
And then wait for the official update.
At least you should have a phone you can use.
following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
i've found that there is 4.3 stock image I9505XXUEMKF. downloaded it and tried to install but that did not work.
now this is a noob question but is there a speciffic bootloader, modem or something else i need to flash before flashing this image?
or should i search for 4.4.2 version?
thx
flashing stock 4.3 on current bootloader/modem combination gives me Fail from Odin and Sw. Rev. Check Fail error on the phone.

I believe malybru already answer that for you .Thread and Stop experimenting with your Phone because there's a chance that you might bricked your Device or end up with no IMEI.. and Your asking for help/Solution mate so follow their instruction . If not feel free to send your Phone to customer Service for repair.( and Be aware that your warranty is already voided unless your Country is part of EU so Rooting and Flashing don't void your warranty)

Click the link on EU mate . And start reading even my provider said that if the knox is already triggered, My phone still have warranty for 2 years as long its a hardware/system problem. But if i break the glass on my phone and such then i dont have any warranty for that..and must pay them for a repair.

ah, my bad. for some reason i was reading 4.4.2 as 4.2.2
i did follow all other instructions, and i thank you all for them, but still not sure where to go from here.
i know i should stick to 4.4.2 firmware but need to check somehow if bootloader/modem combination that i've install is actually installed.

If you already flash the Bootloader from Omega then you can no longer downgrade to 4.3 stock , that's why your Getting Fail (Auth) in Odin Flash the 4.4.2 stock Leak rom for now then if you consider flashing a Custom Rom then ,flash the philz recovery 6.09.2 or TWRP (Dont forget to Nandroid backup EFS and such and then DO A CLEAN WIPE by Wiping cache, dalvik cache data and system) and From recovery flash any Custom rom you like. (no need to root your phone, Your phone will be rooted after flashing any custom rom . So goodluck

(the boot logo displays endless).. i can only go into the download mode..
so i downloaded ODIN.. and tried flashing I9500XXUFNI2_I9500ODDFNI1_INS.zip onto it.. however, no matter what i do (removing battery, restarting PC, restarting ODIN), i cannot go past the "initialization" step.. no matter which ROM i try, it never goes past the "initialization" step.. please help..

Change USB cable/port, other pc or close Kies 3 on the task bar.
It sounds more like a hardware failure.

Ive already tried changing USB ports.. I dont have Kies installed in the first place.. I'll try repeating the procedure on a different system though..
i certainly hope it is not a hardware failure.. i literally slept with the phone on charge and woke up to a dead phone.. the phone boots up into the bootloop.. the recovery mode ends in the bootloop as well.. only the download mode ends up in the correct "downloading.. do no turn off target" screen.. and odin detects the phone just fine.. but upgrading any firmware via odin gets stuck on the "initialization" step.. i can answer more questions if required.. at this point i dont care which ROM works for my phone.. or if i lose data.. i just wanna revive my phone..

Bro's, gotta start somewhere, right!
The fact that you're phones are boot looping is actually a good sign - it means that they're not totally useless but salvageable.
Question: Are you able to boot into your custom recoveries, e.g. TWRP? If yes, please reply.
If no, kindly uninstall your old samsung driver, reboot pc, install new driver, put your phone into "Download mode", connect phone to pc, run Odin & hope for the best! If you can get passed this step, then it's smooth sailing...

The obligatory obvious question here. Do you have the Samsung driver installed?
Just repartition the eMMC chip using .pit file with odin that it is suitable for galaxy S4 i9500.

Hi,
I realise that this is a common problem and that the usual response is "go read"
Here's the short version:
Bought the phone secondhand ROM installed is some varient of 5.1.1 afaik, tried to back up the ROM before trying otrher ROMS, CWM didn't work - read some threads - tried TWRP which seems to be installed, got into a boot loop, read some more threads - tried to install glamour S6 from TWRP, nothing happened now getting "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing"
Absolutely no idea where to start - I've had android phones before and always successfully rooted and installed ROMS before.
If anyone could help I would be very grateful as I don't want to make it even worse.
TIA....

You could have flashed a Stock ROM first / fresh and then try out other ROMSs.

Yes, possibly...
However, what I did was try to back up the supplied ROM first.
So that I would be less likely to bugger it up

Hi,
I don't think I can flash anything at the moment ?
All I'm getting is "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" in a loop.
Not sure where or how to start
V+ & home & power does go to Team Win Recovery Project v2.8.7.0
Can I do anything useful from there ?
TIA...
well, by flashing i meant downloading a frimware from sammobile or... and using odin to install the stock rom , dont let that "kernel not seandroid enforcing" get on you nerve that one doesnt really matter , only way to solve your prob is to install a stock frimware...
about the slow download speed try searching the latest frimware name on google and a direct link from another download site might probably come up...

i bought the phone when i was in india and i flashed the ROM which was released in some other country. Now im in saudi. Its working for me perfectly.
I guess the only solution for your problem is to download a stock version and flash using Odin. Then you can start trying other ROMs and so.
It will work 100% for sure.

Download this. This is the latest Lollipop ROM for SM-N910C. Download and flash this using Odin.
Vol down + Home Button + Power Button, Then connect the phone to the Pc and flash with odin.
If its confusing for you then READ THIS tutorial. Read completely and follow the instructions . . . this will work because i used the same method.

Hi,
Thanks that's what I've been trying to do, downloaded 3 ROMs before you suggested that one. Finally worked out that unzipping them in windows was causing errors (reason unknown) switched to a different zip program and the ROMs are ok now. Still wouldn't install in Odin, switched to a different PC - same problem - bought a new quality USB lead and I've now installed the ROM suggested by you, I don't know whether the other ROMs would have installed as I didn't try with the new USB cable.
All the operations in Odin carried out successfully, I've now got a slightly different problem - when Odin finished, the phone booted:
"Samsung Galaxy Note 4" "powered by Android" then just SAMSUNG logo in the middle of the screen with some music - then back to the "Samsung Galaxy Note 4" "powered by Android"
I've had to take the battery out to stop the bootloop - I have looked for answers to this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358554645
I'm a bit reluctant to randomly try fixes in case I make it worse ?
If anyone can help me out of the boot loop ?

Hi,
Thanks that's what I've been trying to do, downloaded 3 ROMs before you suggested that one. Finally worked out that unzipping them in windows was causing errors (reason unknown) switched to a different zip program and the ROMs are ok now. Still wouldn't install in Odin, switched to a different PC - same problem - bought a new quality USB lead and I've now installed the ROM suggested by you, I don't know whether the other ROMs would have installed as I didn't try with the new USB cable.

Maybe the version that your phone was running was "coj5" Build of 5.1.1. this is the latest build of 5.1.1 and it basically locks down your phones bootloader you can't flash any old 5.1.1, 5.0.1 or 4.4.4 firmwares just go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910C/PAK/ and download the top firmware which is coj5. flash it and it might take you out of the bootloop (do a factory reset first) it will lock your bootloader to run only 5.1.1 or newer builds but since you have already tried other roms i think its worth it atleast you will have a working phone. (don't worry about csc being PAK it does not have any additional bloat)
Just in case it's of any help to anyone in the future.....
The unzipping problem was down to unzipping inside windows - as soon as I used winrar, no more corrupt files.
The install from Odin problem was down to a knackered USB cable.
Many thanks to Captain Droid and everyone else.
I got out of the last bootloop by repeatedly wiping the caches, after about 3 wipes it booted and seems to be running ok...
I'm very pleased to have it working again
Is there's a safe/best way to try other ROMs or is it a case of best leave alone ?
Less bloatware would be nice - or is there a way to properly remove some of it ?
I have N910CXXU2COL2_N910COLB2COL1_THL installed atm
What's the best currently available custom ROM for the N910C ?
Do not be afraid to ask dumb questions; they are easier to handle than dumb mistakes
Is there any obvious reason why Rom Manager can't install a custom recovery with this Rom ?
Captain Droid said:
Download this. This is the latest Lollipop ROM for SM-N910C.

Hi,
I've installed this and am grateful to have a working ROM. I thought that after installing this, I would be able to install other ROMs ?
I would like to back up EFS and the current install before trying to install another ROM, ROM Manager won't work, so I have tried to back up EFS from Philz Touch Recovery, that hasn't worked either. It couldn't write to SD1 but claimed to have written to the phone, but hadn't.
I've also tried to install Sixperience from Philz, without any success - another bootloop. I eventually managed to reinstall the THL ROM via Odin.
Is it possible to back up EFS from the THL ROM ?
Can I install sixperience from Odin ?
Is sixperience the best ROM to try ?
TIA.....

Hi,
I realise that this is a common problem and that the usual response is "go read"
Here's the short version:
Bought the phone secondhand ROM installed is some varient of 5.1.1 afaik, tried to back up the ROM before trying otrher ROMS, CWM didn't work - read some threads - tried TWRP which seems to be installed, got into a boot loop, read some more threads - tried to install glamour S6 from TWRP, nothing happened now getting "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing"
Absolutely no idea where to start - I've had android phones before and always successfully rooted and installed ROMS before.
If anyone could help I would be very grateful as I don't want to make it even worse.
TIA....

So I tried to Flash JDCTeam's Rom which is the Android 6 a.k.a Marshmallow. I cant install it because i cant flash TWRP. Odin, Standard recovery, idk. I just cant install it. I tried using the Terminal emu trick, i still didnt get the TWRP. I tried flashing a6 using safestrap, so i installed it but when i installed it, i cant open it, it doesnt go to recovery, just restarts. So, I tried to install Flashfire, Wipe, install zip OTA files, selected the Android 6 files after that, something popped up in my screen, " a software has been detected by AT&T..." you know what it looks like. So after that, i tried all my best tricks to open the screen. Is this brick? if yes, is it hard or soft? if no, whats happening to my device?.... So after that, i tried flashing files to open this, i used the something kernel ( i used odin flashing it ) so after that, my device suddenly opens, i thought its fixed, but when it turned on, the SAFESTRAP POPPED UP AND LOADS THE RECOVERY. Then, I restarted my phone, Clicked continue to continue bootloading, it suddenly go back to Samsung logo then goes to Standard Recovery. Then, i think that i failed doing this, so i tried Wipe dalvik wipe all wiped all many times, Flashed the JDCT Rom, it says " this rom is only for jfleatt, jflte... something something something...." then at the end it says " your device is " zerolte " i was like what the? my phone is atnt but what the hell is zerolte? its supposed to be jfleatt? right guys? then yeah, i downloaded stock roms still failed. anyone how to solve this?
I need to fix this ASAP. Thank you xda community.

Please tell us the model of your phone, current OS version, Firmware version, etc...
If your phone is AT&T S4 SGH-i337 and your bootaloder is neither MDB or MDL, then you have a locked bootloader as such you can not install the TWRP or JDCTeam's Rom.
