Triangle away

So triangle away doesn't work as of now for mf9 I'm wondering has anyone tried and had any luck going back to mdl then using triangle away to reset the flash counter?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

Is the flash counter present somewhere in the file system? I know if I Odin back to MDL and let the phone boot all the way and go through the finalizing android update after setup screens, and then go back to recovery all will say official agaim

It can't read it or change it. Something is interfering.

Triangle away doesn't work on MF9. You have to use it while on MDC or MDL. Yes I have used it and it works.

You need to download the stock file from xda, reports from others have said the file linked by qbking is bad.

I was updating my samsung galaxy grand prime duos (SM-G531H) with kies, not knowing my cable was broken while the updating the phone disconnected and i ended up with a screen saying "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again" i changed the cable and decided to flash the update with odin... process went through and the phone booted up normal with the new update installed... now i decided to factory reset so i went into the stock recovery and did but it came up with a bunch of errors which i didn't take note of... i flashed twrp and repaired the file system, wiped system and then i flashed the the firmware together with the pit file on odin once more... the phone booted up normal and i was using it and eveything when i put it to charge and came back 10 mins later the phone was off.... when i powered it on it just stays on the "samsung galaxy grand prime" screen and doesn't boot... it doesn't go into recovery anymore it just hangs whe're it says "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" i tried flashing the firmware with odin again but every single time i tried it keeps failing at...

Remove kies. Reinstall samsung drivers.
Find and flash TWRP 3.0.0 with odin ( on recovery is not SEAndroid enforcing hold volume up and home for 5-10 seconds. Also flash the Custom Kernel by eyeless95 on the forum, its sepermissive.

What about for SM-G530H?
Do u have the link for the kernel?
After installing kernel what should I do then?

Two ways. Find stock rom in Sammobile and install via Odin (newest). Or try once again install it via Kies. You sould can restore it with Kies, but dont plug phone to computer. Write down S/N or something like that (it's under battery) and model, and Kies will download system

I have a g531h so I'm not sure. I'm below ten posts so i cant post links.
There are kernels and recoverys in the development section that work fine for your phone .

I screwed up flashing with odin. Plz halp!

SO, I made a stupid mistake and along with AP CSC and CP flashed BL to my Verizon S7. I tried to go back and do the steps correctly, but the odin flash's are failing now over and over. Get the "software update failed, use verizon repair assist." screen. Issue is in this state I can't get it in software install mode to use said repair assistant. Please tell me someone can help me fix my screw up!? I have googled and tried to solve this, but I came up empty.

What did you flash, firmware wise? What are you trying to flash?

I was going from the newly updated PH1 (OTA) to Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR I was just not paying attention ...lol singing and goofing off but yeah I flashed BL AP CP and CSC.
ps. Then I did try to go back and flash the right things, but not surprisingly it was unsuccessful. I after that found a stock tar to try to redo the whole thing (G935VVRS4APH1_CL8875708_QB10880117_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.zip) and that was also failed.

If someone could point me I don't mind learning and figuring it out, but yeah....tad frusterated so I'm gonna smoke some cancer lol brb.

Are you using the modified odin? The original one wont work. The modified one is in the root guide.

Do what he suggests. Use the modified Odin. If that does not work try swapping cables, computers, etc...

PrinceComsy version and the ? non PrinceComsy version linked in http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
Neither worked. Everything failed the same way as described previously (re-partition op. failed, and on recovery dm-vert failure)
Will try again.
Flash BL AP CP CSC, or BL AP CP CSC +pit or AP CP CSC?
Want to make sure I at least get this right.

Dont think you can downgrade ph1. Bootloader supposedly changed. There is a faster download in the forum. Way faster. http://downloadmirror.co/29Uj/G930VVRU2APE1_G930VVZW2APE1_VZW.zip<br />

Samsung Tab A SM-T585 stuck in emergency recovery mode

A friend forgot the pattern of his tab A sm-t585 and I tried to flash the 7.0 firmware through odin but odin stopped responding and closed before the flash could complete and now the tab is stuck in emergency recovery (a blue screen with an exclamation mark in a triangle with the message "An error has occurred while updating device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software).
1. I've tried using smart switch software but the tab doesn't show in the list.
2. I tried Kies, and it was the same.
3. I tried older version of Smart Switch and use firmware upgrade and initialization, download was stuck at 69% and the after a period of time changed to 85% and the to 0%, left it overnight and it remained unchanged.
4. I tried odin again, it gave an error (couldn't establish connection)
UPDATE: I just tried odin again and this is the log.

Hi. Check your installed drivers on Windows. Maybe reinstall. Check usb-cable and connection . Maybe need to change. And try Odin again.

Your internal memory is corrupt. You need to try in recovery mode do wipes: Wipe data/factory reset>>Wipe cache Partition . Then try flash via Odin again. If not success in Odin tick checkbox "Nand Erase All" else and flash again.

Thanks for your reply, I'm not able to power on the device at all. It only turns on when I connect the cable so I'll try the "Nand Erase All" option with Odin.
I've checked the "Nand Erase All" option in Odin and from 7:40pm GMT yesterday till now, it's stuck at initialization. Here's the log:

Sorry but in this case your problem have hardware propeties. Perhaps damaged flash memory contacts. Need SC.

I'm not able to boot into recovery but I've managed to get it into download mode but still stuck at initialization. The samsung service contact is quite expensive (GHS 350) but might be the only option now.

Post a screen shot of odin when attempting to flash the firmware.
You may need the PIT file and repartition to repair this device.

Thanks for the reply, I've attached the screenshot of the Odin when attempting to flash the Tab A. It stays at initialization for about 8 hours. I've searched for the Pit file with no results. I've attached a screenshot of the files I have as well.

Are you certain you are in download mode? What do you see on the screen?
If you are then the first thing to try is swapping the USB cable, preferably for the stock Samsung cable.
Being stuck at initialization is a communication error between device and PC. This is either the device is not in Download mode, bad USB cable or problem with the USB port on either device or PC.
Also make sure the PC and ODIN is in Admin mode.

Yes, I'm in download mode. I see the download sign at the center of the screen and something written at the top left corner of the screen.
I have tried different cables and port and The PC and Odin is in admin mode

Try removing the md5 extension.
Apart from trying another PC there's is not much else to suggest except download the files again or try a different odin version.

If the device is actually stuck in emergency recovery mode and not just download mode, then Samsung Smart Switch PC App is specificially designed to fix the emergency firmware restore.
We have ODIN. Samsung has Smart Switch. It's like ODIN 7.0. Smart Switch even uses the same ODIN Firmware. ODIN is just their base communications protocol.

Hi Guys, i have the same problem. Update went wrong and now stuck at blue screen. Smart Switch says the tablet is not supported. In odin, same problem as above. Is there any recent solution to this problem?

Thanx adj998. You have all reason. My version of ODIN was 3.12.3 and this version don't work with the latest firmware of Samsung S8.

Awesome glad it worked for you

Managed to go back to stock but my apps still think I am rooted. Any ideas why? Is it the firmware?

If you've rooted a g950f/g955f, then you've tripped Knox permanently, even if you install stock firmware it will stay tripped. Because of this, any Samsung app that uses Knox such as s-health and s-pay, and so on will say you are rooted, only way to solve this issue is to flash custom rom
