[Restore to Defaults] ODIN for AT&T i537 (good for a soft brick!)

How to restore to factory MF1 (Warning this is a pre-release version with no way to update MF3 yet. There is no noticiable differences in MF1 to MF3 but you can't get OTA updates. Once a way is found I will update this post)
Thanks to designgears for posting the ODIN, and the anonymous user that provided designgears with it.
1. Download the ODIN flash from here (this is the pre-release MF1 firmware)
2. Extract using the password from the website above
3. Put your device in download mode by rebooting while holding volume down
4. Run ODIN and enjoy

I think we should make a MF1 bounty thread or maybe a Poll first to see how many people are stuck on MF1.:fingers-crossed:

Hello. Can help you with that.
This is the stock recovery for the active i9295.
You can flash it with odin.
http://db.tt/krkethQk
After flashing the recovery reboot to it.
Wipe /data factory reset.. From there.
If the problem persists. Than your second option would be to search a stock rom for your active @ sammobile. Can send you the link for the Dutch FW. But for others you need to search them yourself.

Just want to clarify:
No AT&T S4 Active users should attempt this.
ODIN will most likely tell you to screw off but flashing this on the AT&T version(SGH-I537) will cause the recovery partition to fail a signature check.
There seems to be confusion in this forum because the international and AT&T version are merged into one forum. This is okay to flash on the international ones.

I'm confused... The title says for i537 at&t but you say above its not for this version?
Well before I raid this I tried the oneclick an at last step it failed.
I have tried searching everywhere for the single tar file needed for Odin v3.07 an no luck after hrs of searching. I did actually find it in a few forums but was greyed out an replaced saying "this is all u need" well my PC internet connected runs off hotspot an a few minutes ago I used up all my 2.5gb of data for hot spot. So Anyways I'm lost an just bought the s4 active used, hated the tw an wanted Google experience ROM an I ****ed up by doing a factory swipe an can only get into android recovery or Odin on my phone. I did a back up but its not loading it.
Help just spent $250. on this junk box

You cannot install custom ROMs on the i537 because the bootloader is locked. You need to be in download mode in order to flash anything with Odin, and if you're looking for i537 firmware, go into the General section and read the i537 Firmware Thread. It sounds like you need to do some more research before you completely brick your phone. Everything you need to know is in this forum, you just need to search.

I have been in download mode with Odin one click, tried 3 times an re-read the instructions many times. I will probably just pay someone to fix this for me can't spend much more time on this. (Single father losing his mind)

You're going to have to start from the beginning and tell us what you're trying to do, what firmware you're currently on, and the steps you tried that failed.

Fixed an lies or Odin couldn't do it, had to go to Best buy an a Samsung rep used "smart" program an that did it. I tried all steps covered in different forums. O'well.

I'm trying to salvage my I537 after botching a noob attempt at getting lollipop onto it...
So now I can't boot recovery mode, only download mode. Download mode is the only thing my phone can do (besides the warning if you try to boot normally, saying that you have unauthorized software, go to AT&T store blah blah blah).
As far as I can tell, the method outlined in this thread is my only option, correct? I've followed the steps, and I don't think the Odin oneclick is working properly for me. Once I click "start" the process takes less than 5 seconds and says "all threads completed", and 1 success/0 failures, however my phone does not reset or anything. Just stays at download mode screen (with the blue bar full). I waited a long while just to be sure (nothing happened of course) so I unplugged my phone and restarted it manually. No change from before.
Here is the entire log shown by odin oneclick when it's done:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> RES OK !!
<ID:0/004> Completed..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
Any idea why I'm not having any success? Did I just screw up my phone bad enough to have an eternal soft brick? Thanks!

You can't use the file in the OP. You have to use this file: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952608110
Download to PC and extract using 7zip or WinRAR. Then you have to flash all 4 extracted tar.md5 files simultaneously with Odin

Thank you, this worked like a charm. I'm not sure how I missed this; I searched through the main thread on the i537. I am new to this though.
The OP is highly misleading, and even the following comments don't make this clear.
So since I'm on NE3 now, I'm not stuck the same way people were stuck with MF1, correct? I can get up to lollipop (the right way), if I decide to do so, correct?
Thanks again!

If you want to be on lollipop rooted, follow the guide in the following thread, just skip the parts about "download" mode (that was actually meant for another device) it's pretty straightforward: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-active/general/how-to-update-to-i537oc6-5-0-1-t3089355

I'm new to this forum... I tried using the 1 click Odin method listed above to try and recover my sgh-i537 mf1 but I got an error saying get pit... I tried to copy the log to post it but was unable to right click in the log field... I am completely at a lost as to what I should do to get this phone un-bricked. I've been reading post and trying methods for the last 3 days and I'm beginning to feel hopeless

[Guide][P600 Only] - Guide to return to stock with links to files!

I created a spot on my website for the stock Odin Tar's that I use for the P600.
I posted the US / XAR Region Stock Odin. I also posted the ML1 Asian base I used as well.
As I gather newer ones I will put them up and updated this thread.
Although this guide is written for the p600 it would, in theory work on any P60x device so long as you have the proper Odin files!
Note: This will not "untrip knox"!!!!!!!!
Here is the download page on my site:
MOD EDIT: Link removed as domain has expired. Thread closed until new links can be installed
Enjoy!​

Currently Hosted:
P600UEUBMK1_P600XARBMK1_XAR (Shipped US ROM / XAR Region)
P600ZTUBML1_P600ZZTBML1_BRI (Asian Based ROM / BRI Region)
Other Odin Tar resources: Sammobile. Must be a member but they have tons of them.

How to Return to stock
This mini guide assumes the following...
You were able to root and or install a custom recovery or ROM therefore the drivers are installed on your PC for the tablet. So here we go...
Download Odin from the links in the OP
Extract the the .md5 file from the zip file you downloaded above.
Boot tablet into "Download" mode. You can do this by holding Power and Volume - (down) when the device is shut off. I note on this device it can be a little trickier so you may have to try a couple times. You should now see this on your tablet

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Connect Tablet to PC using known good USB Cable
Start Odin and Press the "AP" button to load the tar.md5 file. This may take a minute as it is also calculating the MD5 to ensure you have a good file. A bad file means bad issues and it wont let you flash it (good fail safe).
Once Odin sees the Tar and loads it completely AND Odin sees the tablet press the Start button to begin. Can takes about 5 to 10 minutes so be patient. Do NOT check or uncheck mark ANY other Options in Odin unless you know what you are doing!
Once it complete you will have a factory image on your tablet. Yay!
But we are not done. You may also want to, at this point, reboot to recovery and do a full data wipe. This method of Odin leaves the SD card and user data intact. To get into recovery hold Power and Volume + until you see the stock Android recovery. Select format Data, reboot. Boom, your tablet is like brand new!

Guided added!
I am not the best technical writer so if you need help understanding what I am saying dont hesitate to ask!

What happens if I failed to root (according to TWRP) and am stuck in the Samsung splash screen? I was obviously able to install TWRP so hopefully that is enough for Odin to get me back to stock
Will this work?

If you can see samsung screen you can odin back to stock.
The directions I posted should hold true about getting to Odin / Download Mode

Thanks for this guide, I agree, it should definitely be in the development section.

Hello
So will I get the OTA updates after this? How do I untrip knox?
thanks

Thanks for this Scott and a great ROM!!!!

Yes, this is returning you to stock like when you turned it on for the very first time.
No one knows how to untrip knox.

Is it Knox that blocks the ota updates, or is it the rooting itself?

Not sure. Never tried to Ota with KNOX.
Maybe ask in the Q/A forums.

Just to be safe, and If I do this the tablet will be as if it was completely new, right? I'm going to exchange it for another one and I want to be sure it's as new. Are there any flash counters or stuff like that I should be worried about?
Sent from my Nexus 5

So when a system update comes out we could use these directions to flash the stock rom with out loosing data, apps, settings, etc? Then be able to get the stock OTA?
Coming from the Nexus world, This is a bit different. Google seems to have no interest in the 10 inch sector though, so here we are.

Never have we had a tablet so heavily defended with so many issues. 6 tablets and this one stands out.

I think I understand what you are saying, but I'm new to Android, and would appreciate a sanity check::cyclops:
1. Knox "trips" (i.e. opens a fusible link in the hardware) if you root the tab and (or?) boot with a non-factory ROM. Once it trips, it cannot ever be "untripped", even if you return to a factory ROM image. (Hence the emphatic statement in the quote.)
2. Question: If a tablet is currently, and has always been, unrooted and stock, will using Odin and these instructions with a factory ROM trip knox? For example, to upgrade to the factory KitKat image
3. Follow-up question: If I flash KitKat as above, can I return to the original release by following your guide, again without tripping knox?
Thanks for the guide and software, and for your help.

1. As far as anyone knows, Knox cannot be untripped.
2. If you Odin a FACTORY IMAGE it WILL NOT trip Knox. Only custom roms/rooting trips AFAIK.
3. I'm not 100% sure as I haven't tried, but I think I've seen discussions where the bootloader wasn't changed so you could go back. Again, I'm not 100% sure. Maybe we could get clarification from someone who tried.

Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue

Hi,
I need some help im farily new to any sort of android dev or hacking my phone etc etc.. I am geting the following error after trying to update my phone to a leaked version of kitkat this happend months ago and i finally have time now to get this phone going.
I tried this : http://androidcentral.us/2013/09/how-to-fix-firmware-upgrade-encountered-an-issue-on-kies/
Keis did not reconize the phone.
I want to try this : http://androidcentral.us/2014/02/how-to-flash-firmware-using-odin-samsung-devices/
But i went to samsung-update and downloaded the latest firmware but its been downloading for 2 days. If this is the right path to go down the above instructions does anyone have a faster download link to the file I need?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try going to sammobile.com and download the Kies software. The article you cite is from 2013 and I know the software has been updated since then. You should search in the Q&A section on how to update using Kies. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-sprint/help) Not sure if there will be anything there or not but you will not finding anything in this section about it. There are several ways to update to KitKat in that section. I have never really used Kies so I cannot help you with using the software itself.

You can't use kies, that is for official releases direct from Samsung. You need to download Odin, preferably 3.07 or 3.09 since you are installing Kit Kat. Download the NAE Stock Tar file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663619 it is a fast download. Extract the tar file from the zip you downloaded. Open Odin with administration privileges and load the TAR file into the PDA slot (3.07) or AP slot (3.09). Place your phone in Download mode and connect it to your computer. Once the phone is recognized by odin click the start button and let it run. You can get Odin here: http://odindownload.com/

I will try that tonight thanks again

firmware upgrade encountered an issue! Please help

I know I know there's been quiet a few threads about people screwing up and I'm one of them with a little different problem.
So I really appreciate your help
I have a second I9505 running great on XXUEND1 (almost instant GPS lock) and tried very hard to find this modem to flash on my second I9505 but couldn't find it.
So I thought "lets download the stock which will change the modem, and then restore nandroid" Yes I have a TWRP nandroid I made just before this screw up
So I downloaded this stock from sammobile http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/28734/I9505XXUEND1_I9505TELENC1_TEL
I was on:
GPE 4.4.4
Modem: I9505XXUGNK4
Baseband: I9505XXUGNK4
Loaded the stock firmware in PDA/AP and flashed. FAIL!
Now I can get into download more only (no twrp)
I've attached the screen of Odin 3.09

Any help guys? I'm getting nervous here...

The cable should be the stock one and should not be on a hub. Try a different port on the computer, and do not panic. The fact you can get into download mode still means all hope isn't lost.
EDIT: You posted this question twice, with the second location being a development thread, where it really doesn't belong. You received a response there as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59386461&postcount=18244 . In the future don't cross post, no matter how desparate you are.

You received a response there as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59386461&postcount=18244 . In the future don't cross post, no matter how desparate you are.

Thank you, it's directly connected to a port that I've flashed with many times.
I even tried other ports but still same thing.
Did I do wrong by trying to flash the 4.3 from 4.4.4? Or is that asking for trouble?
What else can I do?

not sure but it might be partitions (.pit file) - for example one was too short and write failed due to no space left
try flashing the one you were using before (or at least 4.4.2).

Yes I'm sorry about that. I was really starting to freak out.
Anyhow, I've managed to flash a 4.4.2 with modem and baseband XXUGNH6. I've also flash the latest twrp. But I would still very much love to complete what I wanted to do in the first place. Which is flashing XXUEND1.
I couldn't find it anywhere as a flashable and I couldn't downgrade to 4.3 which is where it is.
Could you guys please help me get this done?
Cheers

not sure if you have .pit file included in package downloaded form sammobile (the one for 4.3) but if so - add .pit and tick re-partition, while flashing 4.3 as you tried before.
re-partition, if it will include data partition will erease all your data - backup your movies, photos, etc before proceeding.

Thanks mate,
Just managed to get it back to normal bu flashing 4.2.2, then downgraded to 4.3 XXUEND1.
Now the build is showing as XXUEND1. However the bootloader and baseband stayed at XXUGNH6!
IS it possible to flash XXUEND1 modem/baseband on this now?
I've tried compiling the modem flashable but aren't savvy enough! So here are the files if it's possible to flash
Modem: https://mega.co.nz/#!HRNHQZob!WLfbPp...ZHF7pAd5HmC00U
NON-HLOS: https://mega.co.nz/#!iVFjWCZI!jcUyjN...WP8kfnQZbIxDi0
Really appreciate your help!

Those links ask for password - not sure what would that be
You can always extract modem and non-hlos form your XXUEND1 package downloaded from sammobile and flash them separately via Odin as in here:

<< Stock Firmware For Your Verizon Note 7 and Quick Guide>>

Here is the newest available firmware for the Verizon Note 7 to flash with Odin. The flashing process is fairly simple. I will try to keep this updated as long as I own this device.
First make sure your PC is properly set up with the Samsung Drivers and ADB/Fastboot from here. After this is done proceed...
1) Download the latest firmware from the link below and then unzip the file.
2) Load the files located in the unzipped firmware folder that starts with BL using the BL button, AP using the AP button, CP using the CP button and finally the CSC using the CSC button in Odin and wait for them to verify. (See Screenshot Below)
3) After the files verify shut down your phone and restart it in download mode by pressing and holding down the volume down, home and power buttons until the phone boots to download mode. Then press the volume up and connect the phone to your PC.
4) Once you are connected and the firmware is loaded press the start button and wait for the process to finish. The phone will restart and then you should be running the latest firmware.
You can load either the HOME_CSC or the CSC_VZW file in the CSC slot. Home will not wipe data and CSC_VZW will.

Pardon my poor directions but here it is how I pull the firmware from SmartSwitch in a nutshell....
1: Open control panel and click on File Explorer Options and co to the View tab. Under Hidden Files and Folders change the option to Show hidden files, folders and drives then apply and close window.
2: Download SmartSwitch, install it and run the program.
3: Click on update to start the download.
4: Open your C: Drive and navigate to C:\Users\Rick\AppData\Local\Temp (replace Rick with your user name) and look for a file created today named tmp*.tmp. When your download in Smartswitch reaches about 70% or so a tmp*.tmp.zip will be created that's about 2 gb in size. That is the ota file you want to copy to your desktop. Copy it over and when it's done unplug yopur phone so it doesn't update. Then rename it to *.tmp to *.zip, unzip it and restart your computer to close SmartSwitch. Now you should have a folder with the latest OTA to flash with Odin. You need yo quickly copy the temp file before the phone reaches 100% and reboots into download mode. Don't worry if you miss it, just unplug your phone before it starts updating and start over. If you aren't quick enough and the phone starts updating in download mode you will have to wait until it's done ore you might soft brick your phone.

rom info
What exactly is this particular rom? Is is stock samung rom minus bloat? or verizon ota? And if it is ota, why not just let phone update itself?

No, It's basically the OTA but the full version instead of a patched one. It has all the bloat. I disable the OTA and I prefer to update the phone with Odin to get a clean install. Plus you can chose to wipe all data or not by flashing either the home_csc or the csc_vzw files. The home one won't wipe and the other will. I don't like taking updates when they first come out just in case it kills the battery performance or something else and then not being able to flash back to the previous version if Verizon chooses to make it non revertible.

Does it include the things that Verizon took away from us -- mainly, Device Maintenance?

No, it's stock firmware so if it isn't on the phone when you bought it isn't in the firmware.

This is essentially a factory reset guys. No new features just gets you back to stock. Extremely helpful if we ever get any form of unlock or root and this would basically undo all that.

Thanks for this and glad to see you again on here. I made the jump from the S7E to the Note. Quick question and I pretty much know the answer but am having a brain fart: if we have TMO firmware can we flash on the VZW model? I should know better, yes.

Good to see you here too. As much as I said I wasn't going to get the Note 7 I ended up with the spare cash to upgrade and did it. As for the firmware we can only flash the Verizon ones unless Samsung has another universal one like they do on the Edge.

That's what I thought as I was 99% sure. I am just annoyed VZW disabled some features like the Samsung Cloud which I was looking forward to and instead is promoting their VZW cloud app which is less robust. NP. I am really liking the Note and is slightly better than Edge though both are the best.

Well I decided to get the Note 7!! Glad to see some familiar faces here as well!!!

Try Odin3.10.7 in the OP for the home csc. I never have a problem with 3.11.1 and the home but some do.

No I haven't and probably won't for a while. I would like to wait until another update rolls out to make sure we can flash back. Besides my phone is running great the way it is.

It failed on odin 10 with home csc
