[Q] Help a moron out and get paid - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Note 3 in the middle of firmware UG cat pulls power cord out of the wall. Error message says repairable in Kies. I have not the time to figure it out myself. Is there someone out there who could fix the issue, install a Rom and send it back to me for a reasonable amount of money?

Are you able to boot to odin/download mode on the phone? If you can then you can try to flash firmware that is compatible with your phone to fix it.

Hey thanks for the quick response. I've got it connected in Odin. Any suggestions for fw?

Go to www.sammobile.com and find ur note 3. Then download the fw, extract the zip or rar and put the files into odin. Then flash =)

[Q] Returning Galaxy S4 (rooted) for a new one. Please help. (or unroot help)

So yesterday when AT&T announced 50% off of smartphones I was pretty dumbfounded since I got a brand new S4 the day before. But the day I got it I rooted it and did all the other stuff. I will return my S4 for a new one but it's impossible for me to unroot. Everything I've done doesn't seem to work. I used Odin but it stops at the "Get PIT for mapping" stage. I tried deleting SuperSU but that didn't work. It made things worse because it said I'm not rooted but I still am. Now I can't even go to recovery. And I can't even connect to Kies. Can anyone help me unroot my device or help me be able to return my device when it's rooted?

I would think the tools section of Kies will have an option that will work. Connection trouble shoot first then emergency recovery. If your phone boots, you should be able to reset it to out of the box state.
If it's still rooted, try triangle away app.
If you go to settings, more, about device, build number, then tap on build number repeatedly it will restore developer options, if it's not shown now. From there you can enable or disable USB debugging. That might help with Odin. Wish I had more answers for ya.
Also try settings, accounts, backup and reset, factory data reset.

Thank you for your answer. I will try it out now. Little more information is that I'm using the Pacman ROM.

Do you know how to enter the download mode? If so then odin should recognize it. I think it's "hold the power button, down volume, and home button" till it instructs you to let got and hit the up volume button. The connect it to the pc for odin.

Yes I'm trying the Odin process. It's working so far except it stops at "Get PIT for mapping..." which is here i.imgur.com/z8fnjRd (add png to the end)
Kies is not recognizing my device after troubleshoot. It is stuck at "Connecting..." which prevents me from emergency firmware recovery.
There are two options that will help me the most:
Connecting to Kies and getting a PIT file for Odin

Is your phone a US AT&T model I337? There is a stock recovery rom in this forum somewhere, it's a zip file when extracted it will have a tar.MD5 file for use with odin. Or maybe you should use the PDA selection in odin, and uncheck the reboot box.

Why don't you just call cs and get credit for the difference instead of returning it. You're going to get another s4 anyways.

Yeah I might do that now, but I want to fix everything first then start new.
Everyone I now know what I really want to do. I want to flash the stock ROM. But this is impossible with http://i.imgur.com/z8fnjRd.png "Get PIT for mapping" is stopping me, which is very frustrating.
Just throwing out some ideas. Try a different cable if you got another one. Try plugging into a usb port in back of computer. You could try to re download the file again using a different mirror. Could just be a bad download. Anyways good luck.

[Q] firmware boot problem

Hi, I'm having a problem. The 'Charging paused...' message kept popping up so I tried to flash a different official rom via odin. Unfortunately the flash failed and now when I try to turn on the phone the 'Firmware upgrade encountered an isuue......' message comes up. I tried connenting to kies also but can not to do so. I have hope as i can get into download mode but can't flash a rom. I got halfway once then suddenly it failed again. Your help is much appreciated.

Kies is probably the culprit here... It interferes with ODIN flashing.
Don't really use it as it is very much like Itunes... Besides, it keeps trying to copy 56gb of music and 6Tb of videos to my phone... Not too impressed...

Stuck on firmware upgrade encountered an issue restore

Please help!!! I tried rooting my device using this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...utmctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=1390275
and after clicking start in odin, the progress bar stopped moving halfway through. I didn't know what to do so i shut down my phone and when i started it back up, i got the message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
Now im stuck on this screen but i can still go into downloading mode.
I am using t-mobile and my phone model is SM-900. I think the problem was because i used the wrong file in odin. Rather than using:SM-N900 (International Exynos) i used SM-N900T (T-Mobile US). Anyway to fix this or am i screwed?Please help.

I Need Help Please! PLEASE HELP!

Hello Everyone, i got a note 3 phone
SM-N9005 FCC ID: A3LSMN9005
SSN:- N9005GSMH
MADE IN VIETNAM BY SAMSUNG..
i bought this note 3 phone from UAE and it was with Kitkat 4.4.2 and when i was using it, some apps used to stop and not responding and get a pop-up message "System has stopped" or something like .com.system has stopped responding, also when i open some other apps the phone shuts down, so i turn it on, sometimes it works fine and sometimes it stops responding and shut down many times, so i had to make a full restore factory reset and still have the same problem, some guys told me you have problems with the rom, so i had to look for stock roms to it and found a lollipop rom under this name (AP_N9005XXUGBNL8_CL3643614_QB3415922_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar) and i installed samsung usb drivers just to make sure that everything is okay.
so when i started flashing it by odin it said Fail, so i tried once again but failed again, and i found my phone went to that black screen with (firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies & try again), i couldn't get to my previous kitkat rom after that, but i'm able to go to download mode and recovery mode, so after this( brick) i had to search of how to unbrick it so after that i flashed philz as a recovery mode, and then flashed (All samsung recovery.tar) so then after flashing it, that message of (firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies & try again) is gone, but i got another loop of restart each time i open the phone, it is not booting it is only taking me to the black start screen of android, and after a while it restarts itself.. and then when i tried to flash the same rom once again and connected my phone to my computer, drivers started configuring and so i waited to finish, but it failed it said (MTP USB Device Failed), though i still can see the phone connected over Odin in download mode.
so i had to look for another rom which is a kitkat stock version (N900TUVUCNB4_N900TTMBCNB4_N900TUVUCNB4_HOME.tar) which i found after downloading it and flashing it to my phone that it is for n900, which is normally failed flashing!.
so I don't know if i messed things up or not, and i really don't know what else or more to do ?
please give me your advice so i can restore this phone to its original stats.
Thank You!​
Are you sure the first firwmware you flashed is a full stock firmware?. What is the size?.
The second firmware you flashed isn't for n9005. Try different firmware specifially for UAE.

Choose corresponding file for BL, AP, CP & CSC. Do not tick repartition. You could also try with the firmware as suggested by joku

You have repartion ticked but without a pit file, so obviously it will fail.

I think my s7 edge SM-G935F its now just a brick...

I wanted to update my s7 edge to oreo via odin. So, i think i just flash it bad (instead of put one archive in bl i put other in ap, idk things like that). so i saw it told me An error has occurred while updating the device
software. Use the emergency recovery function in Smart Switch. I tried flashing again the firmware in odin but it just stuck in initialization. I just tried in diferent version of odin nor switch mode.
I tried with diferent usb cable nor other usb port
When i try to recover it with switch mode it just tell that it cant because it isn´t compatible (I even put the s/n)
Could someone tell a alternative tool to odin?
Help please, i think im losing my s7
Btw, sorry for my bad english.
Don't worry it will be fixed restart using volume down-home-power buttons all together go back in odin mode and try to flash only AP
Yo ur English is fine.
What version is your phone?
What version firmware are you using? Where did you get it ?
What version of Odin?
There are only 2 ways.
Odin or OTA by your provider.
Lol i don't think the change to Oreo is worth this trouble. But since you're going down this rabbit hole, we can at least try to get you working phone in Oreo.

Don't know about samfirm. Sam mobile download is pretty safe and good. Download again in case of corrupt download if you want to reuse your firmware. Ensure that your firmware is for G935F. Boot to download mode. Unzip the zip file and get md5. Put md5 firmware on Odin (latest version) in AP section. Plug phone to computer. Make sure it says "added". Then start process.
Below link will help.

Hello, everyone. I have a SM-G935F Galaxy s7 Edge. usb gate was broken and i started to change the software with odin. it was installed in half and I pushed the usb cable by mistake and the installation stopped. then a error appears on the screen: an error occurrd while updating the device software. i read a lot in the forums and i watched a lot of videos how to fix it but everywhere they describe and show that the phone needs to be restarted with the combination of buttons. my problem is that when i connect my phone to pc it says error: device is not recognized. I checked how to fix this error too, although I managed to fix the device manager in windows , the smart switch still does not detect the phone and the phone cannot restart with a combination of buttons. this phone is very expensive and i want to fix it at any cost. the phone is already with a new usb port, all you have to do is help me put the software on it. please help me very much.
---------- Post added at 12:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------
device currently stay off because not battery power. When I connect to charging cable phone is starting on blue screen with same error and not possible to off or restart the phone with buttons. Very strange
