Samsung Keyboard shows null?

Hello people, I bought a second hand galaxy note today, using Samsung keyboard, when I press the letter keys, instead of getting the corresponding letter I am getting "null" on the screen. Other keyboard works fine.

You need to flash CSC according ROM you have installed

I bought this phone second, the previous owner must have flash it without CSC

Flash the same ROM again with putting the ROM file in the [Cash] option in Mobile Odin.
Search for this ROM - UK I guess - in dr.ketan topic.
Good luck

Is it important to have csc?

I had look at your thread, does that mean I have to buy Mobile Odin Pro for the newer ICS firmware?

you can flash csc.with pc.odin too.
mobile odin have some.extra benifit like keep root while flashing. it is hassle free from pc connection.
so it is not must, just optional.

I am confused. I just bought the Mobile Odin and am getting
" superuser access is needed but could not be acquired . are you rooted and did give permission.
what am I supposed to do?

have you open supersu appl and updated binary?
if your root is proper, first time it will ask to grant permission.

I went through the root process in your "When all other method fails to root your device"
after everything was done, I am stuck on the Welcome to GT-N7000 screen.
Keeps on getting error messages popping up, then the phone would go blank and then slowly display this weird greenish screen.

How do I flash the newer cf root kernel?
Sent from Samsung Galaxy Note

I think the question needs to be asked, do you actually want root and non standard firmware/kernel?
If you just want a standard phone but want to solve the problem you originally asked about then just download and flash factory firmware from Sammobile.com using pc odin.

Galaxy Gran SM-G530AZ 5.1.1: Any Working Root?

Working Root SM-G530AZ 5.1.1??
Does anyone know how to root 5.1.1 on SM-G530AZ (Cricket)? Kingroot works, but after reboot, system is locked with unauthorized software flashed screen. Then a system restore with Kies 3 is required. I did manage to use kingroot and get it to reboot just fine but I don't understand what I did exactly. Then I used Flashify (dumb mistake) and on reboot back to restoring...Any Help would be amazing, need foldermount to work. Thanks

Its an over the air update, so you either update with kies 3 or go into the about device section in setting and then into Software update, from there you would upgrade it.

Found it about a week ago. Tested. Says Rooted. Phone restarts. Not rooted. Get error: Getting OffSets.. : error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported. (False)

Any updates on this?

I have tried everything in the book I could find with no luck. I messaged kingroot team. Got a message back saying they would looking into fixing "flash with unauthorized software" on reboot as soon as possible.

I can re store your SM-G530AZ, back to factory 5.1.1

srs root its a big scam.it doesn't work.i try already.
it will say "root successful" and report that to its web site as permanent root,but once you reboot the phone,srs root didn't do a thing.nothing change,NO ROOT.
srs its just a big joke.
if anyone found a root metod please tell us! help us!
or that firmware to use on odin,that way i can keep trying all roots and re-flasing if fails.
sm-g530az 5.1.1 cricket. grand prime.

if it would help, I still have a grand prime that is still in the 4.4.4 ... it's my daughter's and I told her not to update it. My son updated his and we hate it.
Is there any way I can use the rom from my daughter's into kies and and restore the 4.4.4 to my son's?
The main thing I want is the ability to wifi tether. FoxFi works on KitKat 4.4.4 on my daughter's, and was working on my son's until he accidentally hit the upgrade link.
I then rooted his , thinking I could use open garden or barnacle, but neither of those work, either.
any ideas?
If you can instruct me on how to extract and save the stock 4.4.4 rom from my daughter's phone on kies, I'd be happy to share the file with you all.
thanks in advance

idyviva...
there's no way you can downgrade from 5.1.1 to 4.4.4. you are stock on lollipop until 6.0. its available. i do belive it will be available for this is a new device.

@Vincenzolt98 @Dionisis89
It's a custom PIT or stock one? From where you downloaded stock ROM?
When I flashed stock ROM I only had to put it at PDA ( AP for newer Odin versions). I think the repartition should be done automatically when is flashed stock ROM.
Try latest Odin version and also make sure that the PIT file is the correct one (can be for 8gb, 16gb for example).
I recommend you to use SamFirm program for downloading stock ROMs faster.
SamFirm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 . Even if it's deprecated, it still works fine. The program is attached at attachments in that thread.

It should be the stock PIT. I don't remember where I downloaded it from but it appears to be the correct one. I don't know where the problem is.
The firmware corresponding to my J500FN's CSC is Austrian (ATO), so I downloaded it from that updato site.
The reason I went to find the PIT file in the first place is because flashing stock ROM via Odin failed. It showed this code (last 2 lines):
<ID:0/004> hidden.img.ext4
<ID:0/004> FAIL! (Ext4)
It had failed at this point, and I've tried flashing the 6.0.1 and 5.1.1 stock image, to no avail. Perhaps you have a solution for that instead?

I've tried this method, but Odin shows me another error: MD5 error! binary is invalid .
And yes, I've tried removing the .md5 from the file name, but then Odin is stuck on file analysis forever. That happens on Odin v3.12. At version 3.11, it simply hangs after choosing that file. At version 3.09 (which also has the option of flashing a PIT file) it shows this:

Did you try to flash it without PIT file?
Also, if you flashed TWRP before, then try to flash TWRP, then boot in TWRP recovery and wipe /system, /data, /cache and dalvik-cache. Then power off the phone, boot in download mode and try to flash again through Odin.
If you didn't flash TWRP before and you don't wanna lose warranty, then boot in stock recovery and wipe, but your internal memory will be wiped too.
I never used a PIT file when I flashed stock ROM.

I'm sorry I didn't try flashing the firmware you provided me with in the first place, thereby "making you" type more on an answer that has been answered (by my flashing the correct firmware). There is something else you might help me with, if you have the time. Why did you provide me with a link to the German firmware? I told you it had Austrian CSC. And yet the German firmware was the one that actually worked. How so? And something else. Which is the website that you sent that firmware from? You edited your post soon after you had posted the link.

Huh? I only gave you links with the YouTube video and SamFirm.
Oh wait, I think that maybe SamFirm downloaded latest available update. In SamFirm you can switch to manual mode and type there the region, PDA and CSC and you can download the firmware which you want.

I didn't use SamFirm to download the firmware file, of that I'm sure. Mostly because upon attempting, I failed. I had put SM-J500FN in model name and ATO in CSC, but SamFirm found nothing.
I think you had a link from Mediafire in your response to me and that's how I downloaded the firmware. Hell, I might be mistaken, since I searched through a ton of threads, including some at XDA, in order to find a solution. It's possible I saw the link at another user's post.
In any case, thank you very much, once again. You saved my phone from becoming a paperweight.

It's kinda old firmware, but always worked fine for me, didn't have any issues (it's the firmware which my phone came with).
You welcome! I'm glad I helped you!
Maybe the OP (first post) has same problem like you. He'll have to read

Yes, yes, that's the one!
I doubt he still has the problem though, since the thread was created at the end of August. Nonetheless, other people who might face the same issue will be able to read this thread and extract useful information.

Stuck on AT&T Unreleased beta nougat update from earlier this year

Hi, so i'd like to upgrade my AT&T GS7 G930A to the latest available version of android that's released, as i'm still on the nougat beta update from earlier this year that wasn't officially released(meaning i'm still only at security update's from january 2017), however, none of the odin files i've tried have worked (links will be below) it keeps getting stuck at "Initializing" and on my phone it keeps saying "Odin Protocol version error", so i was hoping you guys would be able to help me

and https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/g930a-android-n-offical-odin-package-t3567801
the version currently installed on my phone is G930AUCU4BQA4

You need to go completely back to stock in order to get back on nougat latest I suggest that you flash back to the pk1 marshmallow 6.0 and use the odin provided by Sam mobile

how would i go about finding these files? as you can see by one of the links in my post, i already tried the PK1 firmware from here

From what I learned it always ends up being an Odin problem not going back just try different versions of Odin make sure your restart your phone when putting it in download mode

Try just flashing the CSC file with that Odin version. It contains the .pit file to format your partitions. If that works you should then be able to flash all 4 files.

so do you have any links to both the PK1 files and odin that you know work? because i still have this problem, and everything i've tried just keeps giving me the same errors, either that odin protocol mismatch, or the model dismatch failure (and you also said try sammobile odin? i can't find it, and their website seems to insist that the G930A doesn't exist)

Sorry for bumping, but I'd really like to fix this

thanks !

What version are you using? it has to be 3.13.1 to update the s7 edge for android 8
you can download it at: https://odindownload.com/download/#.WyBC0qdKjIU
Good luck with your installation!

Always read thoroughly before doing anything, you are using Home CSC. You have to use CSC not Home_CSC to install oreo. This will wipe all your data. Good Luck.

Weird.. I did a nougat to oreo update with home_csc no problem.

Flashing with home csc of another country (which is not in your multi csc group) will simply won't allow you to flash oreo..
Flashing home csc will only work if the firmware you are flashing belongs to the same multi csc group in which your country's original csc is.. thats why you could flash using home csc with data intact.. hope it clears the issue

Phew, I do do backup before hand in case I need to wipe it. Will keep that in mind next time thanks.
Weird part is that I switched from OPS to BTU. OPS is not in the available CSC codes according to phone info app Samsung.

I have upgraded my Galaxy S7 edge from android 7.0 to 8.0 using BTU firmware although my region is XSG and I used Home _CSC and encountered no problem. As I understand it, if you want your files intact, then used Home_CSC just what I normally do when when upgrading from the current Android version to the next in line for my galaxy S7 edge as well as for my my note 5.
This is only to share my observations which maybe helpful to others.

I update from 7.0 to 8.0 with odin too and use csc not home_csc
