[Q] Experiencing Soft Brick Issues when trying to use Odin - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had a friend come over who wanted me to root his Verizon Note 3. It had the latest version of Android available for it when I tried rooting, which, from what I can gather, is Android 4.4.2 or 4.4.4. I can't seem to find exactly what it was.
This is the guide I followed when I started. Immediately I knew something was wrong because Odin gave a FAIL output. I didn't think to grab that exact output, but this is what I'm getting at this stage:
Code:

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

Here are the steps I'm taking based on this guide:
1. Downloaded latest Odin version.
2. Downloaded latest stock firmware (MJE).
3. Downloaded PIT file.
4. Reboot phone into Download Mode [Power + Home + Vol Down].
5. Open Odin.
6. Plug in phone. (Shows "Added!")
7. Choose PIT file and stock firmware (under "AP")
8. Choose Start.
This is where I get the error message. On the phone, it shows:
Code:
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 4 > Binary 3
I've been doing nothing but running in loops trying to fix this phone. I've tried so many different links and ran around to just about every forum I can find. If anyone has any advice, I really need to fix this as it's not my device.

MJE is not the latest....you will probably have to flash 4.4.4 (NC4 or NK1). You can NOT flash old versions one a newer version is installed.

Where do I find that? All of the places I've gone seem to show MJE. Do you have a reliable source where I can find the latest version at a reasonable download speed.

You can get the latest 4.4.4 firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N900V/ (if you think there is a chance that it was on 4.4.2 when you tried to root it with de la vega, then you may try that firmware first... Once you put 4.4.4 on it, there's no current root method for it and no going back to 4.4.2).
If you follow Droidstyle's restore guide and use the 4.4.4 firmware (or 4.4.2 if that's what it was on ), that should hopefully help you get the phone fixed. Here's the link to Droidstyle's guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46461911

This link is requiring a sign-up to download at 15 kb/s. The best download link I've found is Rapid Gator, which is limiting me to 40 kb/s. Are there any other faster sources for this file? I searched Google for maybe 15-20 minutes with no luck. Is this file so rare that no one has uploaded it to a more reliable/faster site (e.g. Mega)? I feel like this should be a much more common file than it is.

Sammobile does require a free registration to be able to download from their servers, but I think most people would say it's a generally reliable source.... and they give a md5 to make sure you get a good download. Maybe you'll find something else if you spend enough time searching. Good luck.

I just finally got his phone back on and it's no longer bricked. Now I can't seem to get towelroot to work. I open it on his phone and towelroot claims it's not supported on his phone. Am I missing something simple? Anyone here that's rooted a recent Note 3?

Good to hear you got the phone working again. If you're on 4.4.4, then towelroot will not work and there's no current root method.
4.4.2 was the last build version for the Verizon Note 3 that's rootable.

And in it says fail on ODIN. And now when I boot up I can't get to my stock OS
only to a screen where it says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please Select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I Can't use my S4 any more . I was wondering if it was because I had a locked bootloader, but the I337M varient should be unlocked right?
I also had the new MG1 firmware before I tried all this, but I saw alot of other MG1 users used this method.
PLEASE HELP, I would be forever grateful.
Are you sure you used the correct version for your model and are you sure you didn't have "repartition" checked in ODIN?

Completely sure.
Can you boot into download mode? If so I would Odin stock firmware and see if that helps. I have used the auto root on a couple different devices and have had no issues.

I've tried it 10 times so far with different versions of ODIN just to be sure.. No change. Would me having a USB 1.0 have anything to do with it?
I really have no idea what to do.. I have 1 year warranty left with this phone, and me trying to CF-Auto root was the only thing I've done that could have voided my warranty, but it failed and now that I'm stuck would I still be okay if I took it in for warranty?

agreed. or at least a different usb port. are you using the cable that came with your device? i'm assuming you had usb debugging switched on.
So i've tried it on another computer, but since my device is in download mode it doesn't install any samsung drivers to properly identify and read the S4, so it doesn't work. Can anyone please give me some direct links to download the proper usb drivers on windows for my S4.
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=samsung+galaxy+s4+drivers
Thanks to everyone that helped me troubleshoot and gave me options in figuring out the next step. I used another computer and installed the drivers on to that computer ran odin and cf auto root method and it worked like a charm. :victory:
On the first computer I used, I'm almost completely sure I had the wrong S4 Drivers installed and thats why it didn't work.

Take a deep breath, and try another cable. I find a large portion of flash errors are caused by junky usb cables. If that fails, try another usb port and another pc entirely, if possible. Let us know some more info, someone has already asked, more details the better. Good luck.

Knox does trip if you root.... not sure there is any method that doesn't...... guess if its important... do some research.. I couldn't find one when I did mine... used CF-auto..... on i337m

Verizon Galaxy Note 3 bricked?

I think I may have bricked my phone, possibly a softbrick? I was using Odin3 v3.09 with Root de la vega for my Verizon Galaxy Note 3, Model SM-N900V. The tutorial I was using said it was for my phone, I followed all the instructions, and I got fail the first time using the stock cord that came with it so I tried again and used a regular usb 2.0 cord and got a fail the second time.

I am assuming I am going to need to flash the phone back to a stock firmware but I am not sure which one I should be using, or how to go about doing that exactly as well. I have rooted/unrooted phones in the past. I have also flashed my old phones as well, but I don't remember how to nor can I seem to figure it out with this phone. If someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate the help. I am trying to put the HyperDrive ROM on my phone.

I came accross this method, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483380

This should be a easy fix. Enter recovery mode by powering down the phone then holding the home button, vol up and the power button. Hold down all three buttons until you see recovery booting on the top in blue. The phone will reboot into recovery and then scroll to wipe data/factory reset with the vol down key and then press the power button and wait until it completes the reset. Now you should be good to go again. This will wipe all data but you will have your phone back.

Try this guide if you haven't already. I just tried and it said three hours not days. If it's slow try canceling and restarting it again. You might get a faster dl rate. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528707

No problem. Did you try to clear cache in recovery mode? If not give that a try and then the factory reset while you are waiting. You have nothing to loose at this point.

You use odin to flash the PIT (keep the default 3 boxes that are auto-checked when you select the PIT file). It is only a couple MB and will fix your phone up in a jiff. You can flash the PIT with odin when the screen with the two exclamation signs is on and the phone is connected via USB. This is where I got mine for the note 3 verizon, got mine just last week, which was january 26th or something. androidfilehost com / ? fid= 23159073880936457 so just remove all spaces from that and paste it into the omnibar and g2g!

This is where I got mine for the note 3 verizon, got mine just last week, which was january 26th or something. androidfilehost com / ? fid= 23159073880936457 so just remove all spaces from that and paste it into the omnibar and g2g!

I was able to flash the PIT file with Odin like you said which enabled me to get back to recovery, but I am still having issues with the Samsung Write protection being enabled (which is preventing me from flashing anything with Safestrap including trying to fully wipe and restart). I found out after attempting to flash my verizon note 3 that the write protection was an option that needed to be unchecked on the phone before flashing. Now I can't change it without being able to login all the way into the phone. Are there any options out there to change the write feature outside of being able to actually load the phone, like ADB?

Looks similar to what I was getting from Odin. Did you have to uncheck the write protection in your phone settings before flashing anything? Someone told me that might be the cause of what happened with mine since I didn't even hear about doing so until I had already attempted to flash my phone.
im also getting a fail just after aboot. I originally attempted to install the deodex version on kitkat and originally was still able to access safestrap.
I have tried flashing every rom i can get my hands on over odin. ive tried making a recovery from my other note 3 via safestrap and swapping the micro sd over to this one. did not show up when i went to ss recover. so i booted to recovery cleared cache. still got aboot failed(auth) so i booted to recovery again and cleared everything except data. (including system) now i cant access SS any longer. get stuck on bootload screen or get verizon sofware assistant message. still unable to flash roms via oden i have tried everything but lollipop and odin versions 3.9 3.7 3.10
im am completely lost. im almost ready to ship it to someone to fix it for me.
I'm gonna bump this in the hopes someone sees it and can help me.

I think I may have bricked my phone, possibly a softbrick? I was using Odin3 v3.09 with Root de la vega for my Verizon Galaxy Note 3, Model SM-N900V. The tutorial I was using said it was for my phone, I followed all the instructions, and I got fail the first time using the stock cord that came with it so I tried again and used a regular usb 2.0 cord and got a fail the second time.
This is the text from Odin.

I am assuming I am going to need to flash the phone back to a stock firmware but I am not sure which one I should be using, or how to go about doing that exactly as well. I have rooted/unrooted phones in the past. I have also flashed my old phones as well, but I don't remember how to nor can I seem to figure it out with this phone. If someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate the help. I am trying to put the HyperDrive ROM on my phone.

Before you started this...what version of android were you using? You must flash the last version you had running or higher.
Get the firmware from here
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N900V/
instructions are also there
You can also try having Verizon reflash it or at the Samsung section of your local best buy

thanks, im just jumping straight to 5.0 and hoping for the best. half hour left on the download. fingers crossed
*update* it seems the newer version was the answer for me... now to find a way to root it on lolipop... whole point was originally to get hyperdrive and get some headphone software worth using.

URGENTLY NEED HELP!
Thanks guys
Need to know what build you were on before you attempted all of this. If you were on BOE1 or BOG5, you cannot ODIN back to a previous build. You will have to ODIN the same build you were on when you started this.
Most likely I had one of the two. I'll try to odin to same build.
My phone was on Android 5.1.1 stock.
YES! It worked. Thank you so much! I really appreciate taking the time to help me. Good to know people are still willing to help out!
Hi I am having the same problem but I cannot find the stock file for 5.1 or 5.0.1. or whatever the newest version is if anyone could help out

Here you go. This is factory stock, it will locked your bootloader.

I am having the same issue as the OP but mine is 5.0 and was BOG5. Can you please help me fix it or explain to me how I can? I am a noobie at all of this.

If you're having the same problem, the solution is the same: Use Odin to flash the BOG5 system restore image that was linked in the post above yours.

Help with downgrading to android 4.4.4 on SM-G900V?

To start out, I will say that I am not the best with this kind of stuff and do not know THAT much about rooting/flashing ROMs and what not. I have read many posts about how to go about doing this and here is what I tried. I downloaded Odin 3.11.1 and the most recent Android 4.4.4 version (USA) from SamMobile. I turned my phone off and put it into download mode. After this, I started Odin, and pressed VOL up on my device to continue. Odin said "Added". I selected the file to flash in the AP section (G900VVRU1ANK2_G900VVZW1ANK2_G900VVRU1ANK2_HOME.tar.md5) and hit start. This is what came up in Odin:

I have tried this many times with all the USB slots on my PC and with 3 different cords. I have also tried different versions of Odin. I'm not sure if any of that would change anything, like I said, I do not really know what I am doing. Am I doing something wrong here? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Hunter.

You cannot downgrade from BOE1, BOG5, BOK3, BPB1, DPD1, or DPF4. As of BOE1, the bootloader was fused to prevent downgrading.
If you do have a downgrade-able firmware still installed on your phone, then the most likely remaining problem is that the file you're trying to flash is corrupt or incomplete: compare the md5 hash
You can do a partial downgrade to kk 4.4.2 you will still have pb1 bootloader but it does work in s5 verizon general there is a thread by brens123 called I booted into ncg on pb1 bootloader you might be able to subsitute the nk2 firmware instead of ncg firmware using his guide

Looking to Root a Samsung Galaxy Tab E

I would like to know if there is a way to root my Galaxy Tab E, T377V, Android ver 7.1.1
I have tried a couple guides using Odin, Magisk, TWRP and CF Auto Root. None of those worked and all tries failed in Odin. I'm assuming it's because I can't find a version of TWRP for my model T377V.
If anyone has any help or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
I have Odin version 3.14.1 installed on my PC along with the latest version of the Samsung USB drivers. I can boot my tablet into the download screen, then I connect it to the PC with a USB cable. I open Odin and it shows "added!", then I click the AP button and selected the CF-Auto_root file. Below is the info taken right from Odin....

I assume I'm doing this correctly, especially after reading several guides. I thought I would post the info in case it helps anyone who tries to help me. I tried doing this with TWRP, but that failed also (I'm assuming because I can't find a file for my model T377V, even though most of the guides say you can root a Verizon version of the tablet).

I found this :
Root is working for the SM-T377V!
!! Great news! Your curiosity got me thinking about this again, and I got root working fully!
We finally have a working Root for the Samsung SM-T377V Galaxy Tab E 8.0" (Verizon)!
The trick is to use KingoRoot. (not Kingroot)
http://www.kingoapp.com/
First, downgrade the stock ROM to the very first version that Verizon shipped with. Build RU1AOL7, dated 2016.02.11. It's about 1.5gig, and I have no way to host such a large file, so search for it before you ask for mine. I found it pretty easily directly from Verzion. Use ODIN to flash it, yadda yadda yadda.
Then, use the Windows version of KingoRoot to actually root the tab. You will need to enable Developer Mode and USB Debugging, which KingoRoot walks you through if you don't know how. Be sure to uncheck the "Install recommended software" checkbox to avoid the bloatware they try to sneak by you.
After it finishes successfully, reboot the tab. During the boot, a message will pop up that says Android is Optimizing 1 new app. Badda boom, you're rooted!
