Did you originally use odin to go back to stock? what were you doing to get stuck?
I rooted then installed twrp to flash a stock mf9 rom. I deleted some apps that I wanted back so I wanted to just go back to stock. After trying everything I still can't get passed the Samsung boot screen
First of all what file are you using to return to stock? You should be downloading the stock mf9 tar file and flash it through odin with your phone in download mode. Make sure after you download the zip file you extract the tar file from it. Use odin 3.0 or higher and make sure you only have auto reboot checked and you load the tar under PDA. After odin loads the file then connect your phone with it already booted into download mode. Once odin shows your phone is connected hit start.

I meant clear the cache and data on your phone. Also when you extract the zip there should only be one file do you have more than one?
I can't get into my phone to do that as it's stuck in a strange boot loop well its strange to me something about seandroid and yes I have the one file just have few coz downloaded different ones to see if odin can spot them

Are you sure you know what you're doing?When you phone is off hold Volume down+home+power to enter odin mode, can you do that?If you hold volume up+home+power you should enter recovery where you can wipe data/cache.
So, in summary, try entering recovery first and wiping data cache, if you can't then try entering Odin mode, connect your phone to the PC and then just flash a firmware for your note 4 which you can get from SamMobile.
I can't get into recovery it just goes back into the boot loop the main problem I have is odin it don't find the .tar file on my computer even though it's there on my desktop

hi,
first, flashing correct stock Rom should fix your issue.
second, if you launch Odin, then you must select. tar via pda(press and "navigate" /point to where the tar file is on pc. You have to waite a minute or two or three or may bit longer....as it has to check the tar md5.(.takes time, then it should load file into pda. )
if you cannot see it try using another pc/laptop. (Also pc/laptop must have Samsung Galaxy drivers installed etc,)
Thirdly, download another version /copy of Odin and try.
Bottom line, relax and think positve.
good luck
I have try we all that except a different computer mate it just don't show up for me think I will have to wait till tomorrow till get hold of a other computer
let me start by saying I've read almost all your threads only reason im actually bothering is because I'm really feeling like smashing my phone to bits .... that's how frustrating this has been. my phone was rooted and custom ROM till about 4 weeks ago, when Tmobile told me the IMEI on my phone was reported as stolen ... i grabbed my box as my phone i have since it was new and compared the IMEI ... to my surprise IMEI on box and on Phone chasis was not same as the one inside phone .... my phone was unblocked by a local unblocking service here in PR so i went to them and surely they took my phone and lent me another one while it was getting fixed ... "IMEI" was being changed again and it wasn't the one on the box either ... the gave me lame excuse about my IMEI .... they kept my note 3 for a week almost 2 after i got it back my note 3 said it was rooted but i couldn't use any apps for rooted phones as it would say i didn't have root access ... as i no longer trust these people i went on and tried fixing the issue myself ... and here's the thing i have tried absolutely everything cf auto root tar from download mode and even thru odin all versions of odin and using the sm-n900w8 cf auto root and the right roms "different one's to see if it was the rom's or the phone" i am about to give up i simply cannot root my phone so that i can install a modified rom ... thought of contacting you guys ... as my last resort ... i am so sorry to bother i know you guys are very busy ... but if you guys cant help i will have to settle for just a regular note 3 and that sucks... i have picture of absolutely everything i have tried and the outcome and the errors i have gotten and all in pics if needed...
Please pardon me for asking for a little help i really thought i could done this i guess i am not as savvy as i have thought...
Thanx in advanced Emilio Pinella
Does the IMEI on the box match the IMEI on the label attached to the battery compartment?
Have you tried using Odin to get back to a completely stock ROM, flash TWRP, and flash supersu from TWRP?
Ok here we go ...
Yes IMEI on box and phone chasis are same ... the different one is when you press *#06# ...
Secondly i have tried usin odin but absolutely all the files i downloaded are in .zip and odin does not recognize any of them i tried to convert from zip to .tar but it crashes odin thats why i have tried it from recovery mode ... even CF auto flash for sm-n900w8 doesnt work odin does recognize phone so it isnt a driver issue ... maybe if i had apropiate files in right format i could try flashing from odin ... but i dont and i cant find the files in .tar which is what odin recognizes ... as i said i have really tried almost everything ... i have been wondering can it be possible these people lock my phone in a way i could not do anything? ... will wait for your replay ... my phone sucks @The Moment i havent downloaded anything as i am factory resseting everytime i try a new method ... just fyi i do activate devops and usb debug after each wipe ...
Use 7zip or WinRAR to extract the zip from sammobile.com. Once unzipped, it should give you a tar. md5 file.
hello again...
well i was certain of my answer but before i started writing i had doubts so i went and open all the files i have for flashing with odin ... and yes none of my .zip files have any .tar files in them , i have no clue why they are zip files if they are intended for use with odin ... so i went to sammobile.com and yes i had downloaded the 3 files pertaining to my cel phone and tried flashing the stock rom but none of them worked ... some just werent recognized and some gave me whole file signature error or signature failed error ...
i have Tesla-hlte-5.1.1.High_Voltage.2.1-Release-20150824 and its a zip and has no .tar, inside also have cm-12.1-20150423-UNOFFICIAL-temasek-hlte-V10.4 and also no .tar inside and its in .zip format, also have X-Note_Build_15_ND5_Public and yes its a zip and no tar inside...
SM-N900W8-4.4.2-(KOT49H.N900W8UBUCNI1) is my original ROM and it does not have .tar inside ....
something they all do have in common is they have an img file inside that cannot be open ...
and i downloaded files for twrp but jajaja also in zip and no tar inside , just an image file wich is not recognized by odin and not recognized by recovery mode either as i have tried putting all these files in my sd card and have tried doing from recovery ending with results of .... whole file signature failed and signature failed error and also wrong footer error i have pic of all this ... would you want me to send them to you i wouldnt mind... btw thx for your time i really apreciate it.
If the files came from sammobile.com, they are defnintely tar. md5 files.
How many times are you unzipping the file from sammobile.com? The original file from sammobile.com should only be unzipped once.
Well after last replay i went and downloaded all 4 available files for my note 3 from the one dating at 2013 to the one with 5.0 lolli i will do this again tonight and will post the results ... i am certain they will be the same as last time but can you please remind me of steps to take using odin and which odin should i use as i have a few versions .
Once again thx for your time .
I like Odin 3.07 which is what I always use.
If you use Odin 3.07, put the phone into download mode, open Odin 3.07, place the tar.md5 file in the PDA box, uncheck everything except f.reset time, connect phone to computer, flash, when you see the word "RESET" in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, use button to boot into recovery, perform a factory reset, wipe cache, reboot.
Ok
I will do this from home as soon as i get there and i will post results any specific one you would want me to start with?
Start with a rom that matches the bootloader currently on the phone.
Ok
Hmmm is bootloader the number after model example UBUCNC1?
Yeah just checked and bootloader would be for my current 4.4.2 N900W8UBUCNC1 .... Also says that latest firmware is one of the firmware i downloaded the one containing lolli 5.0
So you downloaded the cnc1 from sammobile.com and there is no tar.md5 file after unzipping?
Just got home
I got home im unzipping and i will let you know in about 2 minytes if there are tar.md5 inside what i downloaded ...
Ok so far so good
All have .tar.md5 in them so i will try flashing with same rom version i have 4.4.2 to see if then i can root and flash a cutom rom ... tell you in a few minutes how it went... wish me luck.
ok finished
i finally got to flaSH WITH odin and now my phone is 5.0 lolli ... can you guide me on how to flash root with odin as cf auto root does not work i took picture of what it did when i tried to auto root tell me where to send it .... or can you tell me where or who might have tesla 5.1.1 high voltage rom or X-note in .tar.md5 format ...
once again thanks for your time and understanding all i need now is to be able to root it so that i may install custom rom after i actually find them in .tar.md5 format.
Find twrp here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494245
Get the latest 2.8.7 or any 2.x.x 4.4 .tar.
Then get SuperSu flashable. You can google that.
Flash twrp with odin.
Flash SuperSU.zip with twrp.
It's rooted.
If you want to flash a custom rom just flash the rom of your choice in twrp. No need to root first.
Sent from my SM-G925F
Root is not required if you want to install a custom ROM, just install a custom recovery. I recommend flashing TWRP.
Find TWRP for your device from here (make sure you download the tar version of TWRP): http://teamw.in/Devices/
Supersu 2.46 is here: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU Download and save Supersu to either the internal or external memory. If you put supersu on an external memory card, power off the phone and put the card into the phone.
Boot the phone into download mode.
Open Odin and uncheck everything except f.reset time.
Click on PDA/AP button and put TWRP into the box.
Connect the phone and flash TWRP in Odin.
When you see the word "RESET" in the status window, remove the USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, boot into recovery, flash Supersu, and reboot.
Ok will do now and tell you if anything ... but i read somewhere this version of android is unflashable ... but i will try what you are saying .
Which version of Android is not flashable?
Ok i gotta say if it wasnt for you i would still be stuck ... fortunetly i am riding 5.0 lolli and my phone is now officially rooted all i need to do is get tesla's 5.1.1 high voltage on it and i will be good ... so basically just need tesla in .tar.md5 to be good ... all thx to you .
Where can i download it or now that i have twrp as my recovery can you guide me thru on that? ... thx again.
Hi guys,
I had a rooted galaxy s4 I9505, which I tried to encript before selling. After 10 hours the encripting did not finish so I rebooted it and ended up with a bootloop, that I tried to foolishly solve by going to the TWRP menu and formatting the device, the OS was lost and since then I am unable to bring it back to life. I am trying to flash a new rom with jOdin because it keeps saying that the PIT file that my phone shows is corrupt, I tried different versions of jOdin and two different computers. Kies and the like are uninstalled. I tried downloading PIT files online with no luck.
Do you guys have any suggestions? I am really lost after wasting 2 days on this.
Many thanks...
Try downloading the official firmware from sammobile. And flash using odin. That should work

Thanks Soyuz4u, but Odin keeps saying that has found a corrupted file (either the PIT file or another) and does not even start flashing.
Has anyone had this problem before?
Can't you flash a rom via TWRP? I managed to soft brick my device last night with Mobile Odin. It wiped my recovery and OS. I just flashed TWRP back with normal Odin and restored my rom backup.
Have you googled to see if there is a pit file for the memory configuration of your phone?

Try a different USB cable / port. That error is related to that a lot of the time.
Thanks for the replies guys. I couldn't flash a new ROM with TWRP because it kept saying that the .md5 file could not be found, no matter what I did. I downloaded some PIT files online but did not find something specific to my phone memory config.
I'll give it a go in a Windows platform with different USB ports to see if that helps.
Thanks again!

I don't think you have any clue what you are doing.
You say you have TWRP on your device. Then download a custom rom and flash it with TWRP.
- What do you mean with .md5 file cannot be found? You never ever use a .md5 file with TWRP. You only need to flash a .zip.
- Are you running Odin in a virtual machine? That will not work. Jodin is also outdated if i'm not mistaken.
SOLVED NOW! I installed the latest Odin on WIndows and flashed the Rom with no problem. I was unaware of Odin being outdated for Mac. Thanks all for your help again.
My s7 edge got stuck at boot screen so i reflashed stock rom and rerooted then restored the backup i had, it said fail because of low memory while restoring the system and now when i try to reflash the stock rom on odin it says model dismatch fail.
If someone could help me fix this I'm willing to pay something decent, but not a whole lot lol
Re-download the stock rom and flash it

i did that lol thats when it says "model dismatch fail"
Do you have custom recovery?
Do you have a custom recovery?
Do you have the right and the newest Odin Version?
Did you try it with another transfercable or USB-Port?
Do you have the newest samsung drivers?
Did you have any Odin problems like this before?
My suggestion:
Just do a full wipe on your phone. Downlad the newest Odin Version. Get your device into download mode (maybe try different transfercables or USB Ports and the newest samsung drivers) and see if it works now.
If yes, flash the right Bootloader and Modem for your device and then flash the rom you wanted to flash.
If this didnt work, (and you have a custom recovery) try to reinstall the rom without any backups via the recovery at first and check afterwards, if the device is now recognized by Odin.
Good luck

I guess you still have twrp installed.
1. Step: go to TWRP and wipe everything except your SD-Card
2. Step: enter download mode on your device and then plug your usb in (maybe try a different usb-port or even another computer, or another usb cable)
3. Step:Flash the newest bootloader & modem in one step.
4. Step: Enter TWRP again and flash the firmware.zip via the installation process
I dont have TWRP, but i got it fixed, somehow my roomate got it, thanks anyways guys
So all he got was my phone to turn on, im still having this model dismatch fail issue..
Maybe You're trying to flash wrong firmware? What model did You buy?(check box) and what firmware did You download?
If nothing works then download 7zip. And remove all files from that tar.md5 file and leave system.img only. And then try reflashing it.
This way no matter what device You connect it should force flash this image file. Although it might be dangerous (a tiny little bit) so first make sure that You have proper firmware for Your model.

Yes, I've used these files multiple times before i did what i did, ill give that a try, if it works, i owe you.
If system.img by itself will flash successfully and Your phone won't boot then add slowly more files to that tar file (boot.img, recovery.img etc)
You could also try looking for a pit file for Your phone and then flash it with it. Pit file usually fixes most problems even broken partitions.
And make sure that You put that tar file in AP/PDA.
If nothing above works then send me screenshots of ODIN and the file that You're trying to flash. Maybe I'll notice something. But I hope You'll fix it
