These firmwares are for the Galaxy Tab A 9.7 Wifi and are mirrored for faster download speeds. This is also an pit file collection incase of any person who has messed up their partitions.
What Do These UnBrick Firmwares Do?Basically, if you ever have an soft-brick or any sort, these firmwares will help get out of that. What makes these different from the rest for say like sammobile or samsung-updates is that these are separated into different tars which the SamFirm Tool provides an option to include binary nature aka PIT and separate tars like Bootloader, AP, CSC and so on. These should help you unbrick your Tab A in most cases and even somewhat worst ones. IF you are in an minor bootloop and just need to get back to stock, use sammobile and download the firmwares from there. Those are the regular ones. You can still use these if your doing the same also but these can help in desperate situations.
How To Use/Flash These Firmwares?!Simply just download the one for your Tab A model and in the zip it contains different tars. Place the tars in the appropriate sections in odin. Example: Put the AP bla bla bla Tar in the AP Tab Of Odin and the BL tar in the BL tab in odin.
In most cases for say like you flashed a bad rom or in a bootloop, you will only need to flash the AP and BL Tars Only. Most times you dont need to flash CSC. Flash the CSC Tar if your Tab A is not booting up after flashing BL and AP Tars. Make SURE YOU GIVE IT 30 Minutes after flashing in odin if it doesnt seem to boot.

PIT FILE COLLECTION
What are Samsung PIT Files?
PIT files contain the Partition Information Table (PIT) for Samsung Android phones. Different firmware versions may require different partition layouts so the necessary PIT file 'tells' Odin how to set up the phone partitions correctly for the specified firmware to be installed. Sometimes odin can't find the pit in results in odin saying "there's no pit partition" or something similar. That's why pits are important.
The PIT file contains all the relevant information for each required partition such as Partition Name, Flash File Name, Block Size, Block Count etc. and also contains some unknown properties that maybe identifiers or flags of some sort.
Note: Flashing Pits can totally brick your device! Most times it not needed! Be extra extra careful on what you do! I or no one else is responsible for damages. You are responsible for that!
HOW TO FLASH PIT
Take that PIT file and place it in the PIT slot in Odin along with the Firmware in the PDA/AP slot and BL Slots and so on.
Click Repartition and Auto Reboot. (Note if first attempt fails with a SET PARTITION error then run it again WITHOUT the repartition checked)

}
Now your data/partitions may not mount. Simply install twrp and reformat the partitions. In twrp, go to "Wipe" --> "Advanced Wipe" --> "Repair or Change File System" --> "Select Partition to Repair or Format" --> "Change File System" --> "EXT4". Hopefully that should fix your problems.
Alternate Option
Simply in the unbrick firmwares I have posted, place the CSC tar in the CSC Tab and flash. That should repartition and get things going again.

Flashing pits are dangerous so be sure your flashing the right one and is for your correct model. These are untested as I dont own the Tab A. These are extracted from the firmwares and are no way modified. I am not responsible for anything that happens when you flash these.
Want to help out others and backup your pit incase of anything?!
Guide to extract pit : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=56571584
Then upload that to dropbox or mega and send me the link. PITs do not contain personal info and it only contains partitions layout info.
HELP?!
Slow Download?!
Use this tool https://www.dropbox.com/s/iuglifc9cq1y1lm/MEGA Link Downloader v1.7.0_Setup.exe?dl=0
Install it and copy the link, add it the the downloader then start downloading.
Alternativly just install the chrome/firefox plugin for mega
WHY MEGA OMG?!?
AndroidFileHost is great and that but remember goo.im? That went down after a few years and yeah. Mega has been around for a few years now with no problems in which most likely, it will not go down. "Sometimes free things dont last forever" in which i wanted this to last a while
Can I mirror these files to bla bla bla website?!
Yes please! Then post the link in this thread!
Is there a PIT file available for the SM-P550 Tab A 9.7?
Thanks

Hi guys, I need some help.
I have a Samsung Edge S7 which lost the IMEI Number during some previews flashing process. I tried to recover the number by flashing the Samsung Factory Flash Firmware with Odin. At first all worked fine and it seems all perfect. Odin finish and my phone reset. How ever, once reset the device stucks with the screen attached.

I waited like 15 minutes but nothing happen. when I reset only the same thing happen. I can still enter the download mode again and reflash etc. but always stuck on this screen.
I also installed already TWRP and different ROM but than I am lost without IMEI Number.
does anybody has a tip for me? I would be happy...thx
not work new build combination maybe work !
Not sure what you mean @hasanben35
My main problem is that I can flash TWRP, root the device and install Stock Firmware without a problem. But than I am stuck with IMEI 00000000000.
To recover my IMEI I read that I need to flash the factory binary firmware and rebuild my IMEI (efs folder) but I just dont get the Factory Binary work. If I try to flash works but I stuck on the Samsung Logo with the messages from the screen I posted before (first post here). I circle now since hours between this steps.
I do not have a backup of my efs folder or IMEI and need to somehow recover my IMEI now.
thanks for your help guys,
I have the g930f buy it may work for the edge.

Reboot into recovery wipe dallying and reinstall no_verity.
Reboot and leave for 5-10 for binary to set up and boot.

Yesterday I tried rooting my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge using Odin CF autoroot with no experience at all. I did something wrong. When it wouldn't work at first and kept giving an error and "FAIL!" message I tried checking for the correct firmware so I googled my model number and found the one for my phone and downloaded it. I'm not sure what I did but my phone is in a bootloop whenever I turn it on and I can't go to recover mode, only download mode. How do I reinstall the correct firmware?
Please help me fix this. Hopefully I won't have to go to a store for repair...
Well u simply
1) go to sammobile
2) find ur model
3) download the latest firmware
4) extract the firmware
5) put the phone in download mode
6) open odin
7) connect phone
8) upload the extracted files to odin into there respective places

the phone will automatically reboot after flashing is complete
NOTE: just be sure to flash model specific firmware.

If I find the correct firmware will it just overwrite or must I remove the current one? I honestly have no idea how this works.
I had this problem once, you need to flash them Individually, one checkbox at per flash. The way to root ur phone should be magisk manager or supersu. First off you need twrp which is 3.2.1.1 that auto root thing in Odin doesn't work. Some custom rooms already have options for root so if ur a beginner it's best u try them.
---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------
https://dl.twrp.me/hero2lte/twrp-3.2.1-1-hero2lte.img.tar.html
Flash this as ap it's a custom recovery that everyone uses here. Then use the keys power home vol down to force restart ur phone. Then power home vol up the moment it restarts to reach recovery. wipe everything then Flash a custom rom from the forums. I understand ur frustration that the phone has no way to turn off at all
When I try to flash the twrp-3.2.1-1-hero2lte.img.tar.md5 file Odin stops responding.
Don't flash Md5.
Flash the .tar file.
pingufanpoy said:

Click to expand...

The non md5 download only has a recovery.img file which won't go into AP.
u flash it as a tar file not as the img file, you cant use .img files in odin
do not extract the img just flash the tar.
Btw in Odin the autoreboot and freset time don't matter they don't do anything because if you still don't have an os or recovery it will still send u to dl mode.
once u flash twrp it will automatically boot into recovery no need to hold keys. Then wipe ur phone and install either batman rom (an s8 port with Bixby) or superman rom (stock s7 edge firmware) both have customized installers that allow u to choose addons features and root.
U install custom roms by going to install button then selecting the zip. Also 2 main kernels that most people use are tgp kernel and superstock kernel.
dude, you're so smart, dont know what you're doing and you flash something without any knowledge and preparation...
that situation is fully on you
https://prnt.sc/iyosdg
I can't flash this.
https://prnt.sc/iyot25
Or this.
recovery.img comes in a .zip and nothing else is in it. If I don't extract it how do I flash it?? The .zip doesn't show up as an option in AP.

if u flashed it with a green pass, u should be able to boot into custom recovery
power home and volume down for force restart
when phone shows s7 logo, power home vol up to reach recovery
It hasn't flashed. It stays on file analysis for hours.
It does that if your phone is disconnected and reconnected. Download the official Samsung USB drivers.
https://samsung-usb-driver-for-mobile-phones.en.lo4d.com/download
http://prntscr.com/iz109e
I've installed the driver. How long should this take? It isn't saying disconnected.
Flashing a custom recovery should only take 10 seconds. Custom rom 10 minutes. What is the model of your phone check the back of ur phone.

It stays on "File analysis." Does this mean I don't have the right driver? If so, how do I find it? I downloaded the one from the link you shared.

Which version is currently installed? (you can check it in recovery mode)
Most likely you are not able to install former version because it has an older bootloader.
In my case "S5" ist installed, so I am not able to downgrade to "U4", which was installed before

Use samfirm for your newest firmware and use the region option for your current region. (it should work properly) if you get hidden.img failure, remove from package and repack .tar
Use updato.com to download latest firmware with full speed download.
I'm having the same issue. I wiped everything with TWRP and was going to reinstall the OS, but I'm getting the same fail as you do. I'm trying to flash the same version as I did before wiping everything.
Any ideas?

You just saved me! Thanks a lot! I thought I was stuck on CM 14.1. Just removing hidden.img fixed my flashing issues.
same here always stuck or error on modem.img so after unclick hidden.img use z3x it worked mine is G928GUBS5CRH1
Or you can try with this. Fix the phone is bricked, black screen and more by flash a new ROM for Samsung Galaxy phone. Maybe not the newest firmware, but works perfectly.

I have a Samsung S5 Plus (kccat6) (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/kccat6/).
Previously I successfully installed LineageOS 15, it worked without problems. I also successfully installed LineageOS 16 on a different device (klte). Some time ago, I tried to installed LineageOS 16 on the kccat6, but got into system crashes. These crashes occured when booting LineageOS, in the setup. (I don't recall it exactly anymore, because it's already a long time ago.) I tried many things, but the problem went worse, from crashes in LineageOS to crashing in TWRP.
Now I'm unable to even boot into TWRP recovery. When booting, it only shows the first screen with:
Code:
Set Waranty Bit : kernel
Samsung Galaxy S5
Powered by Android
And it then reboots automatically, causing the same screen again, resulting in a bootloop.
The only thing that still works is download mode, which shows the following information:
Code:
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G901F
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 (2)
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
UDC START
I tried the exact steps described at: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/kccat6/install which uses twrp-3.2.3-0-kccat6.img, but the problem persists.
I also tried to install the firmware from https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...e/SM-G901F/PHN/download/G901FXXU1CRH1/234884/ But the same problem persists. (Not sure if the exact "product code" and "pda" and "csc" matches my original device firmware, but the Sammobile firmware does match the model SM-901F.)
What can I do?

Was it the multiple part stock ROM you were trying to flash, wasn't it?
Give samfirm tool a chance as well and check "binary nature" when using.
When flashing a multiple one which CSC file did you use?
Perhaps it's even necessary to repartition it by checking the appropriate box.

I tried official stock roms from multiple sources, such as:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s5-plus/firmware/#SM-G901F
https://firmware.gem-flash.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=file&id=106989
Some are single file, some are multiple files (for bl, ap, cp and csc, and sometimes pit). I also tried via SamFirm, with both "binary nature" disabled and enabled.
When flashing with multiple files, I use for example these from SamFirm:
AP_G901FXXU1CRH1_CL9709634_QB19197342_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
BL_G901FXXU1CRH1_CL9709634_QB19197342_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

CSC_PHN_G901FPHN1CRH1_CL14008829_QB19202131_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
With Odin 3.13 and 3.14, with the BL_* file for BL, AP_* file for AP etc.
And these from gem-flash:
AP_G901FXXU1CRH1_CL9709634_QB19197342_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
BL_G901FXXU1CRH1_CL9709634_QB19197342_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CP_G901FXXU1CQC1_REV00_CL_2133768.tar.md5
CSC_TNL_G901FTNL1CQJ1_CL12426775_QB15508160_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
KCCAT6_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN200M.pit
When flashing TWRP in Odin, I select the twrp-3.2.3-0-kccat6.img.tar as BL AP file and keep the rest not selected. I also tried with Heimdall (then I have to uninstall Samsung mobile drivers) in the command line, but that also causes the bootloop crashes when rebooting.

When flashing TWRP in Odin, I select the twrp-3.2.3-0-kccat6.img.tar as BL AP file and keep the rest not selected. I also tried with Heimdall (then I have to uninstall Samsung mobile drivers) in the command line, but that also causes the bootloop crashes when rebooting.

So you didn't do anything different than I would do it.
Although I would choose a lower Odin version as I've read on one of their sites, that for older ROMs they recommend older versions.
Only chance I see right now is repartitioning if the older version doesn't help.
That you didn't do already, did you?

I just tried Odin 3.09 that was shipped with G901F images and pit file from @javilonas, but that also didn't work.
Including repartitioning with a pit file.
Attached is the output of Heimdall print-pit. (Not sure if it can be helpfull for diagnosis.)
Also attached is a screenshot of Odin 3.09 with the images files from Javilonas.
Flashing different versions of TWRP does change the booting screen a bit, for example an old versions adds the red text "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" under the blue "RECOVERY BOOTING ...." text, but the same crash boot occurs on that screen.

I hope i may join the discussion.
I experienced something pretty similar. So i have the following specs:
-Samsung S5 Plus (kccat6)
and installed:
-twrp-3.2.3-0-kccat6.img.tar
-lineage-16.0-20201105-nightly-kccat6-signed.zip
-open_gapps-arm-9.0-nano-20201110.zip
-NO ROOT
It all worked well. Then i installed some apps, modified the settings. Then i did a restart on purpose.
After this, i had the same loop @deoxy had mentioned in the first post.
Code:
Set Waranty Bit : kernel
Samsung Galaxy S5
Powered by Android
And it then reboots automatically, causing the same screen again, resulting in a bootloop.

I then did a recovery mode restart by removing the battery. I did the "small swipe" in the twrp menu.
I then could reboot again in the lineageOS, but ofc, everything was deleted. Why did this happen? Can i assume that this error will happen again? I don't want to install all the apps, risking to loose everything again.
EDIT:
So it just occured again. Wiping the "data" will solve the issue. Wiping cache/kernel alone will not help.
The phone then restarts into default settings of LineageOS. So what exactly is causing it? I deactivate all Google permissions, is this the fault?
If anyone is interested:
My problem was with the GAPPS package. So currently running only with LineageOS without GAPPS.
No problem or whatsoever. Deactivating any Google services broke the build.
Have an old SM -G935V that I'm trying to use on ting mobile. Can anyone recommend a Rom that will work? VZW says device is unlocked but still has VZW app on it saying "sim card is not Verizon." Any help is greatly appreciated!

download the U firmware or Tmobile firmware for it
Thanks @jrkruse I downloaded and read through your EASY_ROOT_ROM post. Would following your EASY_ROOT_ROM steps be better or does that include more steps than I really need?
For the U or T-mobile firmware download, do you recommend a link? I found one on updato... takes forever for the free version. Thank You!

what version firmware are you on the bootloader version
I'm sorry. Don't follow. Are you asking for the versions on the U firmware I'm trying to download? Or what is currently on the phone?

thats what you need but you may have to extract the pit file located in the CSC_OYM_**** file and load it in the pit tab in odin and flash it with the above firmware
I asked what version you were on because if your on B/11 bootloader you cant use anything in my EASY_ROOT_ROM post

Thanks for your help on this. Yes, the phone is currently on the B/11 bootloader.
I selected the appropriate BL, AP, CP, CSC (tried both HOME and not). Tried extracting the PIT file out and loading it separately like you suggested. Using PrinceCosmy ODIN v3.12. I only selected auto-reboot and F. Reset Time. Still fails. Should I try selecting any other on the ODIN options tab like BL update or Nand Erase All?
I tried an earlier G935U ROM w/out breaking out the PIT file and it failed too.

try using regular odin
Split out PIT from CSC which checks ‘re-partition’ option, loading BL, AP, CP, CSC:
Auto-reboot, F Reset Time and Phone bootloader update is also checked.
This is with regular odin. Not much on the error though.
At one point, I got an error on writing emmc_appsboot.mbn.lz4 from the BL. 'Write failed' was the error. Now the phone is stuck in a boot loop, unless in download mode.

Use this odin and maybe try a different cable also make sure the files are on your computer and not a storage device
Thank you! Switching the cable worked! I got so far down the rabbit hole, I forgot to check something like that.
