[Q] Samsung galaxy tab 4 10.1 sm-t530 stuck on download mode.

Hey guys, recently I tried to flash the latest version of TWRP using Odin on this device, and i now find myself stuck on download mode (downloading, please do not turn off target!!). I can't get into any menu using any method of pressing buttons. Not even normal boot up, unless I flash recovery in odin every time. I wanted to flash the fitting version of CM11 i tried using TWRP the app and flashify to flash the zip, but no luck. I've searched everywhere!
Can you help me, i'd be greatfull forever!!

It sounds like you have to Odin back to stock (I had the same problem and that's how I fixed it). Next time when you try installing, download the TWRP img file and use an app called Flashify from the Play Store to install

At first ,emergency exit from download mode : hold on Power , Volume down about 10-20sec .
At second , you may to flash in download mode anything again : firmware , recovery , etc .
My advice : to flash TWRP recovery . For example from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=29953

In Odin , when you flash recovery uncheck reboot and go to recovery manually .

if you flash recovery successfully in Odin , go to him manually (home+volume up+power) from download mode . Make wipe - factory reset . Reboot to system .

I did as you said after succesful flash, pressed the buttons in download mode and it just rebooted and went back to download mode. Maybe I should try another recovery file or so, do you know a good download link?

SM-G900F Root Help

hello guys, i have a Samsung galaxy S5 (SM-G900F)
i installed the latest OTA updates,but today i tried to root my device with CF-auto root file,odin did successfully but the phone didn't restart,it keep saying
recovery rooting,
recovery is not standadid enforcing or something like that
set warranty bit : recovery
it keep saying for like 10min but nothing showed up,then i flashed phiztouch recovery file,then the device reboot successfully but after i went to the recovery mode,there is no phiztouch recovery,its the stock recovery
can anyone help me to root the device n to install a phiztouch recovery

CF Auto Root should have worked, I'd try that again
Make sure you use the G900F version
Run ODIN as Admin
Only have F.Reset Time and Auto Reboot ticked in ODIN
Obviously phone in download mode
--
Other alternatives are to flash TWRP with ODIN, then SuperSU from TWRP

No luck bro,i installed Cf auto root file like 3 times,still it keep saying the same thing,then i installed TWRP
its successfully boots up,but when i go to the recovery still i have the stock recovery :'( :'(

Are you using a native PC to flash with ODIN?
Got the Samsung drivers installed?
Mine is the G900F and CF auto root works fine with all firmwares to date, wonder if your bootloader is locked?

Same problem here
Odin 3 V1.85 does everthing correctly, then phone boots correctly, but when I go to recovery, still stock:crying:
Could it be that it has something to do with lollipop 5.0?
Please advice

So long as your bootloader is unlocked, CF Auto Root works fine with the G900F and all Android versions up to the latest

Yes I did.
This is what I did step by step:
I have odin 3V1.85 installed on my pc and from there I followed all instructions
I put following file in PDA. philz_touch_6.26.6-klte.tar.md5
After that phone rebooted succesfully. But when I want to enter recovery it gives me a warning sign and it enters stock recovery
Android system recovery <3e>
LRX21T.G900FXXU1BNL9
I have flashed alot of roms with my previous phone but this is new for me.
So again appolize for all the "stupid"questions!
I hope someone knows the solution.

Hmm odd, i had the exact same problem when rooting about 3 days ago, now it works but i can't for the life of me figure out how i managed to get it to work. Ill get back to you.

Ok guys, try this.
1. Download philz kernel that matches your modem number. I think philz_touch_6.26.6-klte.tar.md5 works good.
2. Put it in ODIN on PDA/AP
3. Uncheck "Auto Reboot" and make sure Re-Partition is NOT CHECKED (keep F. Reset time)
4. Flash
5. It will say RESET on Odin and nothing further when it is done so just wait 2-3 minutes when RESET appears to be entirely sure that the procedure is done.
6. Pull out phones battery.
7. Put it back in and now go into Recovery directly (Vol up+home+power)
8. ???
9. Profit
Hopefully this might work, i think i did the same

IMEI & baseband 'Unknown' after installing ROM

Ever since I've flashed latest SuperMan-Rom V1.5.1 using TWRP 2.0.3-0, Since then I lost IMEI, baseband etc, I can't even able to place/receive any calls. Baseband version is 'Unknown' and IMEI & IMEISV (slot 1 & slot2 ) are 'Unknown' too. Any ideas how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

You wiped your basband. Did you install incorrect CSC files. Same thing happened to me with the Superman Rom. Got to back up your efs in the future.

How do I make sure if I use to correct firmware or CSC files? Thanks for your help

So check this out. Try this. Go download your odin for your phone. You can download anyone. Just makensure it is newer or the same as what you have. After you add everything to Odin, click option tab and make sure Phone EFS Clear and Phone Bootloader Update are checked. Then flash the odin rom. Lmk if that works.

No luck so far, as I checked both buttons to install the firmware I downloaded from Sammobile site. So my phone origin county is Vietnam, any idea which firmware should I use?

Did you backup EFS before install the ROM?

No, I did not.

Go download smart Switch, boot your phone to download mode. In samsing smart switch click more emergency firmware initialization then click the other tab.... itll ask for your model numeber then a window below will ask for your serial. When it accepts it, it will attempt to restore it. It will show you the rom that came with your phone. Right that down. Let it do its thing. There is another thread on this forum you will need the binary for your phone.
---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------
Likewise if you can get into twrp, use the file manager to delete everything in the efs folder. And actually you dont need the original rom. Just download apdn or apdu. But you will nees the binary too.

'SM-G935FD' does not support initializing, Please contact our service center.

Your best bet is that guide to restore your imei and baseband. Do that.

So guys if you are getting a DRK error after flashing the Odin restore? GO ahead and try flashing Chainfire's root. This will get the phone to boot up, that is after you flash the Binary and then the Odin rom, the flash chainfire. Remember, you will have to flash Chainfire going forward forever, every time you use Odin to restore them room. Otherwise, youtherwise you will get a device root key error and refuse to boot up.

Did you flash the Binary of the Rom?
Follow the directions in this rom. See after you flash the Binary Odin, if your IMEI shows up. If it does flash the Odin Full restores, any , it doesn't matter. You will get a DRK error or you should, then Flash Chainfire

Thanks for your suggestion, I've tried flash Binary(exactely followed the steps), Kies urgent recovery, but nothing help, im going to try edit my broken EFS file.

Wait, you don't restore it with Kies, you have to use Smart Switch, then choose more... Emergency Firmware Initialization... Then enter your model number and then it will ask for your serial.
So when you flash the Binary, there is a secret menu, top left corner, click it and then you should see all these menu buttons, choose settings. It will look like stock Android. Go down to backup and reset, and fully wipe through that. Then flash the Binary, see if you get an imei in the IMei screen remember you have to type *#06# in the screen keypad. If you see your imei, good, power down, boot into download mode, and flash the Full Odin Rom.... If you get DRK error, flash Chain Fire CF-Root.
---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 AM ----------
*********Disclaimer********** If you get your device working, you willl always need to flash Chainfire CF-Root to get it booting, no matter which Odin rom you flash. Don't ever uncheck oem unlock, then you will not be able to flash Chainfire and your device is bricked for good.

I did everything you said, first I recovered by using Smartswitch, then checked OEM Unlock and flashed binary. After boot in Binary I checked the secret menu and did a wipe in settings from that secret menu. Then I flashed the Binary again via Odin. I dialed *#06# after reboot but imei is still missing. While stay in the Binary screen about 3 mins, the screen became black and display "CP CRASH UPLOAD MODE".
I appreciate your help bro... maybe it will be solved in next few weeks, I feel tired with flashing and flashing, maybe it's time to go with IOS series lol.

LOL don't stop there, but take a break. That is what I did, god I flashed so many times.
When you are rested......
Next step Flash the regular Odin Restore rom, this is different from the binary. BTW, try taking your SIM card out of the phone when you do this. If your phone boots up after the Odin restore, see what your baseband is. If it doesn't root it, then install twrp. I went into TWRP and used the file manager to delete everything in the efs files. I think something gets backed up or stored there from the bad csc files we flashed. No matter how often we flash, they are still there. Delete everything in the efs folder. Then go back to download mode.... Flash Binary.... Then Flash Odin Restore Rom.... Then Chainfire Auto-CF root.
While doing all this, check these options in Odin Clear Phone EFS, and Phone Boot Loader, I have also wiped the NVRAm option and Also repartitioned.

And if you are able try to restore through Samsung Smart Switch. It won't work after the restore, but honestly all are an attempt to repair what was done with Superman Rom.
After the Odin Restore, try Chainfire. The rom may look to be chain rebooting. Force it restart yourself.

Hi there, I have same issue, have s7 edge sm-G935F stuck at logo. I downloaded 2 different firmware from z3x box(shell) and if keep failing when using odin (latest) and also getting error when using Samsung tool.Also I can't get in the phone menu to check the baseband..can only get model from download model.any advice to this?

Same issue as well on my sm-g985v Verizon variant
Flashed an update to work out minor lagging bugs and soft bricked my S7. Can access bootloader and recovery. Beyond that, the phone gets there but with black screen and it is sputtering off and on. Tried reflashing stock firmware with odin, and its not taking. Running into a permission error while trying to write the image. Anyone here have any ideas?

Is this a 935F? Where did you download the orginal firmware from and what version of Odin u use?

Have never run into issues.
Flash twrp trough Odin first, let the phone start
Boot into TWRP, format phone with the options you have to type YES, then install dm-verity force encryption disabler
Now restart TWRP
Then flash the Supersu file from the thread.
Now restart phone

Download orginal firmware fro sammobile, unpack and flash with Odin 3.12.3.
Download the firmware from your area, the one that comes with your phone.
Use the right regional code and everything when you download firmware.
Also, have you guys flashed the right bootloader and modem beforehand?

So you flashed a beta firmware, the name of which you don't feel is necessary information.
OK. Shame I hate popcorn. How about INFORMATION instead?!

It was my understanding it was already in the package. Questioning that one now. Where do i look for that? And thank you for responding back. Downloading your first suggestions as i type this...

I have downloaded two non branded firmware for the Netherlands from samdroid. I had unpacked the zip and flashed the files. For the csc selection I put the one named home csc

When downloading original firmware there should be 4 files when unzip.
1 for each of the options in Odin, without the last one named home.
Some of the custom roms comes with bootloader and modem, but NOT ALL.
Most times you have to flash the right bootloader and modem in Odin beforehand to get the phone to boot.
Im unsure of what has happened because I have never run into issues myself.
If you can not get the phone to boot with firmware from Sammobile and Odin flash I am out of options.
If I do experience a problem like this I would:
-install bootloader and modem according to the custom rom used. Try and flash these with odin more than ones, if not working.
-if no recovery, try flash recovery again
-try flash another custom rom then another custom rom
-return to stock firmware downloaded trough Sammobile
If none of these options work im out of things to do, sorry
The times I have experienced phone stuck on Samsung logo, it has been because of bootloader and/or modem.
Flashing the right ones have always fixed the problem.
That said, I have never experienced problems with returning to stock firmware trough Odin, maybe one time.
And this time my firmware download was corrupted.

This is wrong, you should use the file named only CSC.
Home_CSC, is to keep your setup on phone as is.
I also remember that you have to remove the meta data directory, and then repack firmware or the install will stop.
And this is also NOT a good option if you use another firmware than the original on phone.
Installing firmware with Odin, always use BL, AP, CP and CSC.
Try this and forget about the Home_CSC.
I don't have anymore info, sorry

Thank you very much. I will try it. I will let you know.

Gentlemen, my appreciations and thanks. Was able to finally get the stock firmware to grab. After more time disecting the problem i learned about and was able to uncover the maintenance boot screen. There it had the option to do usb debug . Once i hit that, next flash finished fully. It must of reser in the dev options after the initial root. Damn, i was sweating balls for a bit thinking i must of hard bricked it somehow. I will take it throufh the toot process later today glitch free i imagine. Thanks again for assisting,

Buy pressing and holding power and volume down key, until you get to the screen.
Same procedure as download mode, but without the big button

Even this thread is old:
Thank you so much, bricked my phone unknowingly flashing custom recovery using a defektive usb port struggling to get it working again. This worked like a charm.
Don´t understand why the orthers did struggle with that method.

Hello everyone i just need help on my sm g7102,i tried flashing a custom recovery(cwm/twrp) but nothing happens through odin as my device says it cant do normal boot and go through download mode..i dont know what to do i tried all custom recoveries but it goes to the same problem. But luckily i have rooted my device, so the only thing to do is to have a custom recovery.

Andt do this..
1. ) Switch off the phone
2.) GO TO DOWNLOAD MODE
3.) DOWNLOAD THE ORIGINAL RECOVERY OF GRAND 2 SM-7102 FORM GOOGLE
4.) FLASH IT VIA ODIN
5.) AND THEN TRY TO RESTART THE PHONE.
BEST OF LUCK
