i am able to exit from download mode (by holding power + vol down + home), but no matter what ui try i am ONLY able to get into download mode (which is tricky because the screen that tells you to push vol up to enter DM or vol down to exit doesnt display, ill attach a picture of that.)
and that is the full log from ODIN

Are you in DM now ? You can not exit it ? Emergency exit DM : hold "Power" button and "Vol-" at the same time . Are you flashed via Odin anything earlier ?

Try to go to recovery. If there is a red system invalid*, then you the road to a service center. On the device in DM is the name of the device?

See my last post; I CAN exit DM, but when i boot the tablet the only thing that will accually boot is Download Mode. When i try and boot normally, or load recovery (power and Volume +) They Dont work like they dont even start to boot.
AND Nothing Has been flashed lately but i just found out that the owner of the Tab4 may have been in recovery mode and was trying to format or partition his ExtSD card and might have formatted or partitioned ALL the internal storage.

Well if so, then hope that someone will share with you the pit file

Hmmmmm. Have you tried Samsung kies? I always have Odin problems on windows 8 but never on windows 7.

KIES doesn't even detect the device

Here's a guide I found by searching to obtain pit. Someone needs to pull this from their device
1. Root+busybox+USB Debugging
2. Connect the tablet to a PC
3. Run program EFS Professional.exe
4. Go to tab Backup -> Device Filters -> select All Partitions
5. Go to a program EFS Professional directory and to look here for the new PIT-file SM-T705.pit
Ignore the T705 part. Hopefully this helps

now all i need is someone to come along and post a .pit file. ive looked everywhere online and came up with absolutly nothing.....

Need pit file also...
Found PIT file, but of course can't link it.... Someone can message me for link if they need it.

[Guide] Samsung Galaxy J700P root w/ TWRP

TWRP Link: https://dl.twrp.me/j7ltespr/
Phh's SuperUser: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/wip-selinux-capable-superuser-t3216394
Odin: http://odindownload.com/ (DOWNLOAD 3.0.9)
After you download TWRP, install Odin. Then follow the steps below.
1. Launch Odin
2. Put your J7 into download mode (hold volDown + power + home during boot)
3. Using your charger cord, plug your J7 into your PC while it's in download mode; make sure Odin is open.
4. In Odin, press the 'AP' button, and select the TWRP .tar you downloaded. (DO NOT CHANGE ANY OTHER SETTINGS.)
5. Verify that the checkbox by 'AP' is selected, then click the 'Start' button.
6. Once that's finished, your phone will reboot. Press volUp + power + home before you see the boot screen to verify that TWRP is installed. Reboot to system afterward.
7. On your J7, go to the SuperUser download link, and download it.
8. Once phh's SuperUser is downloaded, reboot and get into TWRP. (Press volUp + power + home before you see the boot screen)
9. When you get into TWRP, press the 'Install' button. Go to the directory where you downloaded the SuperUser .img, and select it.
10. Once you select it, it will ask you to swipe to install it. Go ahead and do that, and phh's SuperUser should be installed. (be sure to go to the play store and get his app to actually complete installation.)
11. When you reboot, you should be rooted!
Thanks to @CoffeeNAndroid for pointing out this method of rooting.
Thanks for the guide. I find that no matter if you flash cf auto root or twrp to root youre going to have to reflash that stock recovery... it makes since to root with twrp cause you can flash all the zips you want and backup youre rom all in one trip before you reflash the stock recovery... i can understand some people are like well i want a permanent twrp recovery without having to have to keep using odin to flash the twrp and stock recovery but this is what is available right now at this time...
Can you post the stock recovery.img for me please j700p.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/development/samsung-stock-recovery-700p-read-t3454061
just made one that works... swap back and forth to fix issues from time to time
We need to fix the TWRP issue
thank you.
orginally rooted with cf-autoroot which rooted it fine, but caused a boot loop. so i followed your guide, and voila, installed twrp and supersu, zero issues. thanks brother.

Mine did same thing. I fixed mine by doing a factory reset from recovery mode. Reboot the phone and hold power+volume up+home key at same time until u see recovery mode in top left corner. It will say installing system update then go to a menu. Hit volume down till factory reset is highlighted. Hit the power button. After its complete go to wipe cache and wipe it also. Then click reboot system now and should now boot fine

Are you sure the stock version you are trying to flash is the same or newer than the version you had installed?

I think you have to Flash all 4 of the files, AP,BL, CP, CSC in Odin Latest version of stock is APK1
I flashed just this AP_G930AUCS4API2_CL8575098_QB10880146_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar in the AP section and my phone worked again. I don't know if that' might be bad thing or not though
I choose Phone Bootloader Update in Odin. It was the only thing that worked for me.

Samsung S8 bricked, odin not flashing stock firmware

I'm trying to recover from a soft brick from flashing TWRP on my G950U, but odin isn't able to write stock firmware. Here's the log:

Is 3.13.1 not the latest version? I couldn't find anything beyond that, but there's also a version called Prince Comsy Odin, which also gave a similar error.

Thank you for the suggestion. When I try this, the "Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software..." screen comes up after I restart, instead of the second download mode. Am I doing this wrong?
Also, I've been holding down volume UP + bixby + power while flashing, or else odin is failing at <ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
Some other stuff I tried:
Using heimdall on linux, but I get "ERROR: Failed to send handshake!" I'll try it again on another linux distro
Flashing different firmware versions, all for G950U sprint, flashing TWRP...
Using Samsung Smart Switch and Kies v3 (both report unsupported device) and Kies v2 (it gets stuck on "connecting", until it eventually reports that the device is not responding)
Some other error messages I'm getting with odin, seemingly depending on what button combination I'm pressing and whether I unplug replug the usb before flashing:
<ID:0/008> Complete(Write) operation failed.
...
<ID:0/005> Can't open the serial(COM) port.
I think I'm running out of options. Does anyone have any more ideas?
Is that the latest firmware? Try restarting your PC and use the latest odin. I realised heimdall doesn't work so I used vmware to run windows with latest odin and last firmware file and it worked. I was using the exynos version though. I had downloaded the stock rom from xda but that won't flash and checked sammobile for latest firmware, that one worked fine !

I believe it's the latest firmware for sprint. I've restarted my PC, and odin's version is 3.13.1 (which I believe is the latest). I'm currently trying a different, earlier firmware just in case that works.
I literally had the same error, I don't quite remember what I did but it was a frustrating two days of trial and error when I got this phone two weeks back, afaik it was just a wrong firmware file so give that old firmware a try

Will do. Do you know if anyone other than Sammobile hosts them? They limit upload speed so it takes four hours between each attempt

SM-T580, hopeless?

Hi everyone!
I hope I'm asking this in the right place. I think I may have really messed up my tablet. My apologies, this is going to be a long one.
After following some very bad advice I was using my SM-T580 8.1 (rooted with TWRP, Magisk and Manager) to explore Xposed. I now know Xposed + Samsung = bootloops. While trying to restore my poor little tablet I messed something up big time. When I tried to boot into recovery....it didn't work. So I booted into download mode and tried to flash stock firmware downloaded from Sammobile. While flashing with Odin 3.13.1, the connection was broken, my dog decided that it as the perfect moment for playtime. Now I can only boot into Odin mode and nothing else. To let it boot normally I get a bootloop with the Samsung Logo and the red warning "Could not boot into normal mode. Invalid Kernal length." Every time I try to flash the firmware I get "re-partition failed" error. I've tried two different PCs, 7 different USB cords, every USB port I have and stock firmware from 6.0 to 8.1. I've tried with and without the PIT file and tried checking/unchecking the repartition box in Odin's options. If I leave the repartition box empty is hangs on "setting up connection" and never moves past that. In the past week, I'm not sure how, I did get to the recovery menu. I cleared the cache and did a factory reset. It still went into the loop, so I tried recovery mode again and was able to look at the logs. I don't know why I looked because I really dont have any idea what they say. The only thing I did understand was that one of them said there was no recovery file. I assume this is a VERY bad thing. Since then I cant get back to it. Oh, depending on which USB port I plug into... sometimes the FRP is ON, with another port it is OFF. Don't know if that would help with a diagnosis. Sorry again for the long post, but I've tried to include as much information as possible. At this point is there any hope of fixing it?
Thank you in advance and a huge thanks for being my "go-to" since my SM-T530nu.

Sorry, I'm a little star struck that you responded to my post. I wanted to use the first TWRP i had installed, but it is a .img and I'm not sure how to use that without being able to access recovery mode. I am a baby when it comes to this stuff. I apologize for my lack of skills in this department. You guys that do this stuff for a living/hobby must have super human abilities. I've only been at this for several days and I'm already pulling my hair out.

The Odin version of TWRP can be found here https://dl.twrp.me/gtaxlwifi/ When you flash it with Odin, be sure to go into options and uncheck "auto reboot". When it finishes, press and hold Home, Vol down and Power buttons till the screen goes black. Quickly shift from Vol down to Vol up buttons till the first screen appears. Keep holding Home and Vol up but release the power button. When the screen blanks you can release all the buttons and you should then be in the TWRP menu.

Are you using Home, Vol up and Power buttons to get to recovery? If that works, you can try Factory Reset from that menu. That should wipe the partitions so you can then go to download mode and flash with Odin. If not, then you'll have to try installing TWRP.
edit: If you can't get out of download mode, try the trick of Home, Vol down and Power till the screen blanks and quickly switching from Vol down to Vol up.

When it finishes, press and hold Home, Vol down and Power buttons till the screen goes black. Quickly shift from Vol down to Vol up buttons till the first screen appears. Keep holding Home and Vol up but release the power button. When the screen blanks you can release all the buttons and you should then be in the TWRP menu.

Are you using Home, Vol up and Power buttons to get to recovery? If that works, you can try Factory Reset from that menu. That should wipe the partitions so you can then go to download mode and flash with Odin. If not, then you'll have to try installing TWRP.
edit: If you can't get out of download mode, try the trick of Home, Vol down and Power till the screen blanks and quickly switching from Vol down to Vol up.

I have tried the Vol up + home + power to get to recovery without success. It happened once, days ago and I wiped the cache and tried a factory reset. It didnt work. I still get the bootloop with the Samsung logo and the Invalid Kernel length error at the top in red letters.
This afternoon I was able to download 3 different TWRP files for my device and tried to flash them. This time Odin stalled...

and it never moves any further.

Odin 3.13.1
I'm not sure how to include a picture. I have several.
On the Odin/Download screen is says:
Odin Mode
Download Speed: Fast
Product Name: SM-T580
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
FRP Lock: ON (or off depending on the day)
Secure Download: Enabled
Warranty Void: 1 (0x030c)
the last numbers are B:4 K:1 S:2
This is the log from my most recent attempt. First without the PIT file and then with it included. Don't know if it was the right thing to try, but at this point, why not

I would suggest downloading the combination firmware and see if that can be flashed.
Also where did you obtain the PIT file and are you choosing repartition with the the PIT file loaded?

If the combination firmware is the BL, AP, CSC and Home CSC, it did not work. The only file I haven't tried to flash is the Home CSC because there aren't settings I was trying to keep. I got PIT file two ways. One was a download I found and another was by extracting it from the CSC file. I tried to compare them to the best of my ability and it seemed like they matched. I tried flashing with and without the repartition option. The only thing I haven't selected in the options is NAND erase.
I've tried
XAR-T580UEU1APF5
XAR-T580UEU4CRK5
XAR_T580XAR4CSC1
And GTAXLWIFI_EUR_OPEN.pit with all 3.

The first attempt was without the PIT, second try was with the PIT file as well as the repartition option checked. It did seem to take longer this time before it failed. I thought we were going to get lucky for a second.

I suppose its worth now trying with nand erase.

Ok. I'll try it now. Should I use the PIT file? Or any of the others? BL, CSC? And just to be sure the file you gave me the link to should be in the AP spot, right?
I found how I could attach pictures for you. There is one that shows Odin with the "Pass" 1 successful/0 Failed. That happened in the middle of all of this by chance. I don't know if that helps any (I doubt it). The same problem was happening before it and after.

So you are able to flash the bootloader files?
Have you tried just AP?

I don't recognize the file you are using. The latest T580 stock ROM can be found here: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-a-2016-101-wi-fi/firmware/SM-T580/
For the U.S. it is the one for Cellular South. It is a zip file that needs to be extracted. You only want to flash two of the four. The one starting with AP and the one starting with BP.
The Odin screen should look like the attached image before you click start. Don't change any of the default options.

SM-G935T bootlop after succesful flash with odin

Hi guys, I tried to factory reset my phone by flashing the latest firmware. These are the files that I used:
AP_G935TUVSBCTA2_CL14365146_QB28658134_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5
BL_G935TUVSBCTA2_CL14365146_QB28658134_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CP_G935TUVSBCTA2_CP14916856_CL14365146_QB28658134_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
CSC_TMB_G935TTMBBCTA2_CL14365146_QB28658134_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_TMB_G935TTMBBCTA2_CL14365146_QB28658134_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
I am a noob and I accidentally flashed the HOME_CSC file in the USERDATA section but every other file was in its place. Then after the successful flash, the phone restarted and entered a boot loop with the galaxy s7 and t-mobile logo. Also, I could't boot into recovery. It shows " recovery booting..." and stays there. After that, I tried to flash several different firmware versions but I always get errors like "fw ver check failed" and stops flashing. I only managed to reflash the first firmware again with success but the phone still doesn't boot. Does anyone know what is causing the problem? Am I using wrong firmware? can anyone help on this?
regards

Oops! Very temperamental phone, the bootloader is locked.
You can only flash the same firmware that was on the device before you started but if not the latest G935T firmware should work.
p. s. Factory reset is an option in the settings menu, there's no need to flash new firmware.

I don't know what firmware the phone had installed before. What are my options now? I can't get into recovery menu, only download menu works. Tried already a bunch of different android 8.0 ROMs for g935t but Odin fails to install them. It only works with just one but it goes into boot loop.

If the phone is a T Mobile device you just need to install a T Mobile firmware from sammobile.
This is the latest for your device (and I'm assuming it is a G935 edge?)....

Fail (auth) means your phone is not in download mode or the firmware file is not in the correct box in Odin.
I think you may be better reading a step by step guide on how to flash firmware.
If you manage to flash and get stuck in a bootloop do the following.
1. No matter what the phone is doing just press volume down+home+power (in that sequence)
2. When the screen goes black quickly move your finger to volume up while still pressing home + power. This will boot you into recovery menu.
3. Choose "wipe cache partition" then "reboot system now"
4. Allow phone to go through the first boot up, it could take 10 minutes just leave it until you get the welcome screen.

When I press volume down+home+power it gets me to a screen says "warning: a custom o/s can cause critical problems bla bla bla..." and underneath it shows these options: 1) Volume up: continue 2) Volume Down: Cancel (restart phone) 3) Home Button: Show Barcode. If I proceed with the 1st option it goes to download mode where I flash with odin. I tried also the combination volume up+home+power with the phone witched off and it shows the message "recovery booting..." on screen with blue text but then it shows the android icon and says" installing system update, then restarts and falls into boot loop again with the samsung logo.

Yes that's fine, just keep trying to get it into recovery, it can take a few attempts for recovery to boot successfully.
The locked bootloader models are a nightmare unfortunately but there's lots of info on the forum about all the different issues and how to resolve.
Sometimes the only solution is to try flash the firmware which was there before you did anything to it eventhough there is a newer version.

I tried a lot of times already but it finally gets to a point that says "no command" with the android icon on top and if I press some times the volume up/down or home it finally gives some error messages and stuck there. It seems to me that the recovery menu is missing completely for some reason and the second problem is I don't remember which firmware version it had exactly before my attempt to flash another.
Anyone? Do I need a pit file to fix this problem?
