Help! Brick?

K, I'm trying to fix my friends verizon note 3, it's stuck in dl mode with the error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use software Repair assistant & try again". Phone will NOT connect to kies, I get an error saying "This phone is not supported". My version of kies does see my att n3 just fine though. I can connect to odin it looks like. Cannot boot into recovery, it just boots into dl mode with the error message. Unknown how the phone got in this state.

If your in download mode and can get odin to recognize the phone then get the mje tar and Odin back to stock.

Is the phone on 4.3 or 4.4.2 right now? If 4.4.2 which one? The full odin sxtp leak or the rooted leaked build by Beanstown?
Edit. I see your not sure what's on the phone now.

No idea. Installed the pit file and can get into recovery and download now but wont boot. Phone hasn't booted since I got it. Here's what I have...

If it works then you can root and do the build by Beans and flash the firmware to get on rooted 4.4.2

downloading mj7 from here, I'm just in the dark about what I have on the phone, it just needs to be stock non-rooted. Didn't know if flashing the .tar would break it if I have a different firmware. I don't know how to find out if the phone won"t boot.

Cool let me know. It should work fine. The only reason it wouldn't is if it was on the unrooted 4.4.2 build.

Whut? Could it be? Ha ha, back from the dead. Only took about 6 hours total. Messed with kies for almost 3 hours before I gave up. Downloaded 2 versions of kies twice, drivers multiple times, 2 .tar files, tried 6 different usb cords...
Thanks for your help @Harleydroid, much appreciated.

Ans a screenie of my slightly modded att n3 for your perusal and enjoyment.

firmware upgrade encountered an issue! Please help

I know I know there's been quiet a few threads about people screwing up and I'm one of them with a little different problem.
So I really appreciate your help
I have a second I9505 running great on XXUEND1 (almost instant GPS lock) and tried very hard to find this modem to flash on my second I9505 but couldn't find it.
So I thought "lets download the stock which will change the modem, and then restore nandroid" Yes I have a TWRP nandroid I made just before this screw up
So I downloaded this stock from sammobile http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/28734/I9505XXUEND1_I9505TELENC1_TEL
I was on:
GPE 4.4.4
Modem: I9505XXUGNK4
Baseband: I9505XXUGNK4
Loaded the stock firmware in PDA/AP and flashed. FAIL!
Now I can get into download more only (no twrp)
I've attached the screen of Odin 3.09

Any help guys? I'm getting nervous here...

The cable should be the stock one and should not be on a hub. Try a different port on the computer, and do not panic. The fact you can get into download mode still means all hope isn't lost.
EDIT: You posted this question twice, with the second location being a development thread, where it really doesn't belong. You received a response there as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59386461&postcount=18244 . In the future don't cross post, no matter how desparate you are.

Thank you, it's directly connected to a port that I've flashed with many times.
I even tried other ports but still same thing.
Did I do wrong by trying to flash the 4.3 from 4.4.4? Or is that asking for trouble?
What else can I do?

not sure but it might be partitions (.pit file) - for example one was too short and write failed due to no space left
try flashing the one you were using before (or at least 4.4.2).

Yes I'm sorry about that. I was really starting to freak out.
Anyhow, I've managed to flash a 4.4.2 with modem and baseband XXUGNH6. I've also flash the latest twrp. But I would still very much love to complete what I wanted to do in the first place. Which is flashing XXUEND1.
I couldn't find it anywhere as a flashable and I couldn't downgrade to 4.3 which is where it is.
Could you guys please help me get this done?
Cheers

not sure if you have .pit file included in package downloaded form sammobile (the one for 4.3) but if so - add .pit and tick re-partition, while flashing 4.3 as you tried before.
re-partition, if it will include data partition will erease all your data - backup your movies, photos, etc before proceeding.

Thanks mate,
Just managed to get it back to normal bu flashing 4.2.2, then downgraded to 4.3 XXUEND1.
Now the build is showing as XXUEND1. However the bootloader and baseband stayed at XXUGNH6!
IS it possible to flash XXUEND1 modem/baseband on this now?
I've tried compiling the modem flashable but aren't savvy enough! So here are the files if it's possible to flash
Modem: https://mega.co.nz/#!HRNHQZob!WLfbPp...ZHF7pAd5HmC00U
NON-HLOS: https://mega.co.nz/#!iVFjWCZI!jcUyjN...WP8kfnQZbIxDi0

Those links ask for password - not sure what would that be
You can always extract modem and non-hlos form your XXUEND1 package downloaded from sammobile and flash them separately via Odin as in here:

Download Odin v3.10 and install on PC. Install Samsung Driver Suite on PC. Download CF Auto Root by Chainfire. Start up Odin on PC and uncheck everything, power down phone, hold Power & Volume Down until phone goes into Download Mode, connect to PC. Press PDA button in Odin, select CF Auto, click start. Wait for PASS in green (I usually wait another 30 seconds). Unplug phone, pull battery, replace, and reset. Download SuperSU from the Play Store and start the app up. Done.

Is there anywhere to get a deodexed version of od2 for the 720t? I searched but haven't seen it if it's out there anywhere.

Only Verizon and AT&T lock bootloaders. It's already unlocked. I think you're confused on what a bootloader is, are you referring to SIM unlock?

I had no idea sprint didnt lock bootloaders. I just came from Verizon with locked bootloaders. Luckily I was able to get mine unlocked.
So just to confirm once we root the sprint phone nothing else is needed to be able to install custom recovery and Roms?

Actually if you're going that route, skip rooting, Odin TWRP and flash a ROM and you'll save time because pretty much every ROM is rooted.

just got my edge and ya.... i brokeded it

so i followed the instructions here on how to flash 935U to my verizon variant and i cant get the ODIN process to work. keis and smart switch tell me my phone isnt supported because i tried to restore the phone.. help please. i followed the instructions which are simple to follow. i put my phone in download mode. started odin and loaded all the files and it failed. what can i do now.. waiting for the stock firmare to dowload now but its taking forever

oh and just incase this is why. im on a mac running windows 10 bootcamp. maybe i dont have some drivers needed ?

Head to sammobile and get the official 935v firmware again, or download through samfirm. Make sure you have ODIN 3.12 and leave the phone unplugged and in dl mode. Unzip the fw files and place them in the appropriate boxes (bl, ap, cl, csc) and once they are all in Odin plug your phone in. If the box goes blue as recognized you are hits to press start. Tart will get you back to original asks try again.
And get a pc, lol

thanks for the reply
i have a pc but i am at school for 2 months without it.. i booted windows just to get by for now.
i downloaded the firmware from sammobile and it may have been currupt becasue it didnt work as well. i am worried but i dont think its hardbricked. i just cant seem to figure out why i cant flash the 935U FW

I wouldnt worry about U. Get V back up and then there is whole separate U thread here with a lot of tweaks. If anything else, look at the PH1 firmware thread (may be under beta thread) and try flashing that, then update to PI3.

are there steps i am not informed on like do certain files need to be in folders together or do i need to run something that was left out in the instructions? i have rooted and flashed with odin before and it always seems to be an interesting experience to say the least. but seriously im getting soooo pissed off right now

yeah tried odin 3. 12 with stock firmware.. put the home file in and the other 3 files in the right places.. still failed.. any other advice?

putting all these files on a flash drive and taking them over to a regular pc to see if this helps.. im really at a loss. this should be EASY right now seriously easy. how am i screwing this up!

tried another computer... didnt work. tried different files and methods.. nothing works.. tried verizon repair tool...joke..... tried everything.

It sounds like Odin/PC is not seeing the phone when it's plugged in. Do you have the Samsung drivers loaded?

suprisingly the verizon repair tool brought it back to life. it restored it to factory settings and firmware.. i want to root but im worried it wont take again

Galaxy J5 (2017) stuck in recovrey mode.

Hi. During the update to Android 10 the phone turned off and after switching on it goes into recovery mode.
The phone is not mine and this description was provided to me by the owner of the phone. I was unable to see the phone directly because of the quarantine, so as a first solution I thought about a restore via odin. Has anyone had this problem? And is there a less drastic way than Odin to solve? Because the owner has some data that he would prefer not to lose.

How did you get android 10 on j530f?
I get the same messages when I enter recovery but I'm able to get out. You could use odin to reflash the firmware but keep all the data.

You won't be able to do a thing with Odin if the device doesn't have an unlocked bootloader and USB debugging enabled which I doubt it has seeing as it's a stock update that was attempted.
What happens to the device once plugged into a PC? Is the data corrupt or is the device recognized and files can be seen?

I have the same problem with almost the same recovery messsges. It also says dm verity failed. Odin and samsung 300k tool both dont work.

Hi,
can you give some details what has happened?
I think you have to install TWRP. Otherwise you have no chance to debug anything...

Not even to flash a stock firmware? It seems strange to me, in the past I have often used odin on my S2 also for the stock ROM.
The device always reboot in recovery, I don't think the PC can see it.

Hi, the details were given to me by another person, the only thing that I (and this person knows) is that the phone during an update has turned off and reboots in the attached image window.
Thanks for the tips, I will report it to the person concerned, hoping that he can install the twrp.

Put the j5ylte update onto sd card.
Get the update from updato or sammobile or somewhere.
Then reboot stock recovery and apply update from sd card. Or sideload it using adb on a computer. Not very complicated at all

Install the stock rom like i described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/help/to-stock-rom-t4099857
