WILL PAY $30 to anyone that fixes my Verizon Galaxy Tab!!!

I recently purchased an off contract Verizon Tab from a friend.
I had successfully rooted it using the superoneclick.exe file.
I since decided to flash Overcome_v1.2.1 with Odin using the exact steps as listed & even watched the video 2x.
"Click start and wait for PASS! to show highlighted green on Odin.
9. Your Galaxy Tab will Reboot, and get stuck on the Samsung Boot Screen. This is fine.
10. Turn your Galaxy Tab off by holding the power button for about 5 seconds.
11. Turn your Galaxy Tab on into RECOVERY mode (Press Volume UP and Power On at the same time).
12. The Galaxy Tab will now perform the EXT4 conversion.
13. Sit tight, depending on how much data you have, this can take quite a long time.
14. Once finished, click reboot system now (by pressing the power button)."
Now...I don't know what "quite a long time" is but after 30mins, there was still nothing but a blank sceen w the tell tale sign of a light, thin, margin type as seen on the video.
I then followed these steps:
"IF your Tab does not boot after flashing the kernel and hangs at the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen, you must follow the following procedure
1.Get a stock rom package (any of Rotohammer's firmwares will work)
2.Get P1_add_hidden.zip attached to this post and extract the P1_add_hidden.pit file
3.Using Odin 1.7, put stock rom (Roto-JME-Full-v4.tar for example) in PDA slot.
4.Put P1_add_hidden.pit in Pit slot
5.Check repartition box
6.Put Tab in download mode by holding Volume Down and Power, connect to the computer, and press start.
7.After this, the Tab will reboot normally. Shut it down and return to download mode.
8.Open Odin 1.7 and reconnect the Tab.
9.In the PDA slot, choose the Overcome Kernel v2.0 tar file for use with Odin. Press start
10.It will flash the kernel then reboot. Upon reboot, you should hear the sexy robot voices informing you of the status of the EXT4 conversion.
11.Once done, the Tab will boot normally. At this point you can load Overcome v1.2.2 rom (or any other Rom of your choosing)
12.NOTE - Overcome 1.2.2 includes v2.0 of the kernel, so no reflashing is required after install."
I never got past the part in step 10 to hear any responses. And instead of searching for one of Rotohammers FIRMWARES as suggested, I input a kernel from Voodoo!
Now I can STIL get into DL mode but whenever I try a normal reboot or recovery, it runs through -Wiping DATA- Formatting DATA---DATA: Wipe failed!
over and over until the Tab reboots and when the samsung splash screen somes up, there is a weird "flashing" of the screen in multiple colors.
PLEASE...for God's sake...with all the great inds on here, someone help me!
Please email me @ [email protected] or call/txt me on my GV # 401-213-9555 I will PayPal or Wire someone a "service charge" for their assistance!
Thank you & I hope i did not break any rules on here by asking.

You need to find a stock Verizon firmware and flash through Odin
I just did a brief search and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855415
But I'd ultimately recommend flashing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941749
And you may need to flash this to get to a stage where you have a working recovery image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941781
Hope this helps

Thank you very much! I will attempt that. I seem to be stuck in DL mode though.
I was downloading in Odin and the Tab has been stuck at 95% for the past 30mins.
Should I power off or is it a sure fire way to brick it?

Assuming there are no bootloaders being flashed you can't really make it un-recoverable. What exactly were you flashing?

Any idea why it keeps getting hung up right about 99%?

hi
hi friend
i had simmilar problems in past.
Maybe you have problems with the usb ports of your machine.
If you have amd/sis/via for usb chipset at your computer try to do the procedure with another machine with intel chipset.
I hope this helps you

[Q] Soft Bricked My SGH-I337

I was running CyanogenMod 10.1 Loki'd and the clock widget locked up. I rebooted figuring that would fix it, but it it didn't. I decided to put the Slim Rom on it and went into TWRP. It locked up & I rebooted it and now I'm at the dreaded "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue." Kies says device not responding and won't connect. I then tried to reinstall the stock using Odin 3.07 and it errors out after it tries to write. The error says Complete (Write) Operation failed. All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1
Can someone please help? I've read & searched till I'm blue in the face.

Reboot from your stock nandroid backup and start over

It seems like my TWRP recovery is gone. It will only either go into Download mode or the triangle recovery failed mode. I haven't found anything I can do at this point.

Wipe data/Factory Reset in recovery mode (not in TWRP).
Then try ODIN again.

It won't go into recovery. This triangle recovery error screen seems to have taken over recovery. I've tried mucho times to get into recovery by holding power, volume up & home at the same time.

Maybe you can try Adam's Casual tool (in Development section) to see if it will work. It is supposed to "one click" CWM or TWRP onto your phone. If it works, you will have recovery to flash another ROM to get you back going. It might be worth a try anyway.

This is beyond my knowledge.
Since you did everything already (via KIES, ODIN and Recovery).
Sorry and hopefully someone can guide you to right direction.

Thank Scott. I'll give it a whirl.

That was a no go. It didn't see my phone just like Kies. I wonder why Odin has the error I put in my OP.

It sounds like you have a driver issue. Has your PC recognized your phone before this?
Also, see if you can get your hands on an earlier version of ODIN (1.87 Maybe or another) and give it a try. At this point I don't think you have much to lose.

Oh yes. It's never not connected. It's doing the same here on my laptop. The phone's drives don't even show in Explorer since this has happened.
The phone won't stay turned off in this state unless I take the battery out.

I'm calling it a night. Maybe the day crew can help me out on up this morning. I sure hope so.

Did you try to push the "volume up" key after the phone displayed the triangle? Once the phone shows the triangle and you have let go of all of the buttons, try to push the volume up button again and see if anything happens.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried the volume up & it did nothing after the triangle screen came and I released all three buttons. So I then tried the volume down button and still had no result.

Fixed - Got Damn Lucky
I reckon the stock rom I had and was trying to install with Odin was evidently corrupt. I re-downloaded it and Odin installed it flawlessly.
Thank God!!!! I thought I'd ruined it for awhile.

Nice.

ODIN will error everytime if you have the worthless keis installed, remove keis, load the newest samsung att g4 drivers , and it will NOT error again. I setup a workstation at the house JUST FOR THE PHONES a year ago, smooth ever since. lets see, $200 for a computer, $600 for a paper weight, best move I ever made. Nothing loaded on that puter but win 7 and samsung drivers, and any prog I need to do whatever, NEVER has odin errored on me...ever.

Well, might be that. But I have KIES on my everyday PC, I can restore using KIES or ODIN without problem :good:

I didn't install Kies till Odin was failing. I downloaded the Rom from Samfirms; I think its called.

[Q] help. galaxy s4 won't turn on at all

I tried installing wanamLite for my S4, but as after I tried to reboot, the phone just vibrates every 6 seconds. the screen doesn't even turn on. I am able to get into download mode but not recovery. I tried to flash the stock tar.md5 with odin, and even though it said it was successful on my PC, my phone still didn't turn on. I tried to do a repartition with the adonis.pit file from the formpage and that didn't work either. as a last resort, i checked the nand erase all and had the same results. the only difference was that on my phone is show that is was erasing user data. my phone still doesn't even go to the recovery screen even though i can get into the download menu easily.
please help

Sorry to say, but you've made a mess of your phone. I think you'll need to look at jtag.

I was trying to root my Galaxy Note 3, KitKat, SM-N900T with Odin 3.9. Everything went fine and I got the PASS! message. I disconnect the phone and I expected the automatic booting. That never happened. The screen started to flash the RECOVERING ROOTING (blue), RECOVERING IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING (red) and SET WARRANTY BIT : RECOVERY(yellow). Nothing that I did after that worked to get rid of those messages. I wonder if my new phone is bricked now or if I have a chance of recover it. Taking the battery out and putting in again plus holding all the buttons doesn't stop the messages from flashing. Please help!

Take the battery out, put back in (dont turn back on)and hold volume up, home and power button. It'll take you into download mode.
Then flash your stock ROM via Odin

It just keeps bootlooping you mean?
Keep trying to get into download mode, might be that you're catching the power button first and powering the phone back on.
Can you get into recovery ? Volume down and power/home button.
You should be able to get to one of them at least

Try this.
Remove and put battery back in, don't power on.
Hold Vol Down + Power + Home Button all at the same time until the warning message comes up then let go of the buttons. Finally press Vol Up only and you'll be in download mode. Connect phone to usb.
Flash this CF Auto root courtesy of Chainfire thru odin. Not sure if CF updated it for 4.4 but one poster said it worked for him on his Tmo.
Optionally flash a custom recovery cause you will have a stock recovery after rooting.

I had the same issue, I did as you said, but now I am stuck at RECOVERY BOOTING... RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING Set Warranty Bit: recovery.

I've got myself stuck a couple times... both times I booted into download mode and selected reboot phone... it worked both times. As stated in another reply, make sure you pull the battery then replace and make sure you are holding home/vol/power... and make sure you get the home/vol buttons before you press and hold power.

HI there, guys! I just read the whole thread and maybe you can help me also! I'm facing a less critical, but similar problem.
I use Omega ROM (Android 4.3 yet) and just after a reboot my device is stuck at boot animation forever. The only thing I did before rebooting was freeze S Finder using Titanium Backup (after it was enabled again because Samsung updated it a few days ago) and move some apps to SD Card using Clean Master.
The critical part is that I can't enter Recovery Mode to try to solve wiping caches because my Reactivation Lock feature is enabled, so I can't access it.
Is there anything I can do except from flashing stock ROM over Omega itself? I can't lose my files on internal storage. There are pretty important ones! =/

Bricked S8s after software update.

Hi. Browsed for ages and always come here for answers.
Here's my problem.
2x S8s. SM-950f.
Updated to most recent software through software update. Both phones were glitchy and crashing and just generally irritating after.
Factory data reset etc. This did not resolve the problems, also led to one of them having issues with FRP (annoying)
Used Odin to try and flash the latest firmware (from sammobile, UK BTU) after flashing both, they reset and powered on. Got stuck at the S8 screen.
Restarted then both were at the "an error occurred during update" screen.
Managed to get back to download screen. Re checked the software and model numbers, even that the bootloader was the correct version etc. All was fine.
Connected to Odin, shows that it is connected, but nothing happens when clicking start.
Now after attempting that, both phones will not power on.
(One will when placed on the wireless charger, but just sticks at S8 screen) and download mode or reset screen can not be accessed. So, not exactly happy. And totally out of ideas
Any suggestions, beyond taking it to a shop to see if anyone can help.

yes .....dont tuch the phones for 24 hours let the battery die ...it will...connect to pc and then try download mode....u may need to press combination for like 1 minute to get to download mode....flash twrp reboot directly into it when odin says successfully .....wipe system data ....dont turn on phone download any custom rom flash and enjoy.....it will trip knox but worth than getting a new board....

Okay, will give that a try.
TWRP?

TWRP install
https://dl.twrp.me/dreamlte/twrp-3.2.3-0-dreamlte.img.tar.html: Download link for twrp SM-G950F (dreamlte)
Just said, wait until your device powers off due battery insufficience. Plug cable and hold at the same moment vol(down)+bixby+power. Then press vol(up) at the warning screen to proceed to odin mode. Let it charging a while like 1 h. Then unplug it and plug it to your pc. In Odin select ap the previous downloaded file. Take your mobile in your hand. With one hand, prepare your fingers to vol(up)+bixby and with the other hand start the flashibg process. Be careful, and take your hand directly from the mouse if you clicked start in odin, and position your one finger to power button, but dont click. If odin start pass, press immidiately the buttons (vol(up)+bixby+power) and let it to start into recovery. If you arrived to recovery, reply to us if not search for help!!!
Good luck

No files appear that Odin will recognise.

Not sure what stage your at and maybe some more useless ideas
1. Trying to flash twrp is kinda of useless if you can't get into your system need oem unlock for that.
2. Have you tried taking out Sim card and SD card and reboot.
3. If you can at least boot try smart switch as it has a emergency recovery option.
4. Trying rebooting in safe mode.

All been attempted
