I'm having this problem past few days, tried all the links in the Q/A section, dev.. all links were dead.. and managed to found solutions for this problem.
Basically, the tab will stuck on "Samsung" logo and looping for eternity... tried to reflash the rom, wipe system and everything via odin.. will results the same thing...and I thought I'm gonna say good bye forever for my note 10.1 (n8000)...or send for repair (which samsung quoted me ~ $158 for the "board replacement"... but until I found how to get it alive... actually I've no idea what causing my n8000 stuck in the first place..
After a whole day "intensive" searching and everything.. almost all files links in xda were dead.. and finally I found out all the files and solutions..
What you'll need
> Odin 3.xx, can get from samfirmware website
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/30977/N8000XXUDNE5_N8000OLBDNE3_XME/
> Samsung drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
> note 10.pit and efs (extract the efs.rar after download, yes it's i9300 but can be used)
> n8000 rom, can get from http://www.sammobile.com/ or development section. I prefer flashable rom in recovery such as android revolution HD, and place it in microsd.
> Philztouch CWM
(files as attached)
Steps to do the recovery
1. Download odin and extract
2. Download drivers and install.
3. Run Odin, place the following files
- click the PIT button, select the note10.pit.
- click the CSC, and select the previously extracted efs.rar..it should be efs.tar now
- click on AP, for custom recovery, such as philz.. or official rom..up to you.
4. Tick the following menus in Odin
- Re-Partition (optional, some users said no need to tick this would do as well)
- Phone bootloader update
- Phone EFS clear
5. Place your n8000 in download mode, and connect via USB.
6. Click on START button.. and hopefully success.
7. Once finishes, reboot into recovery mode (those who flash rom via Odin can skip this), and install the rom zip file.
Everything should be fine now and your n8000 should able to start properly... that's how I managed to "resurrect" my n8000 tho... hope these helps... mine was n8000 16GB, 3G/Wifi version

Hi there!
I'm new to this and need help understanding what to install under Step 2, which is downloading and installing of Samsung drivers.
I have already unzipped the Samsung driver file but I don't seem to see any installation files. Do I have to plug in my Note to get to this? Or are they installed onto the computer first?
Many thanks, as this could potentially save my Note and save me $500... :fingers-crossed:
boootloop problem
tried all this ,but still my n8000 did not flash through odin properly but failed with error
'Repartition operation failed'
After running odin it says "reset" then the tablet returns to the "Galaxy note 10.1" logo and cycles going black then showing the logo.
When I hold down the power button it shuts off and turns back on again. So no luck for booting into recovery.
Im 99% i'm doing all the steps right.
Thank for your help.
ipoddude95, I have same problem. I tried different computers, different cable, different versions of odin to flash different versions of stock roms. but no success so far...
Similar problem
Hi,
I've got similar problem and I check couple of methods to solve this, unfortunately none was successful.
I tried method described in this thread, but was not successful.
I have old version of TWRP recovery (2.5.0.0). I can load recover but whatever I try to do - clear cache, format data, install recovery using dd it finish with error.
I tried installing new recovery twrp and philz using odin, using heimdall, everything seems to be ok, but when I try to load recovery I've got couple of restarts and then old TWRP loads. I've tried stock firmware, custom, with repartition and without.
I'm guessing that in my case it could be some kind of physical problem with memory.
What I can check more or what to try? How can I determine whether problem may be physical with rom memory?

I have, instead of just showing the initial "galaxy note 10.1" screen it goes to the "Samsung" logo with the animation and cycles through that. Still can't get into recovery.
thanks for the help
Hello, i have also this issue with the galaxy note 10.1 gt-n8020, its stucks on samsung logo and doesnt go any further...i dont have a custom firmware neither the tablet its rooted, i tried with odin having the original firmware but when i press start, after the msg "Start write to NAND" i get a FAIL and ends there. Even with the method mentioned here, still i get the FAIL msg...any Info on this on what might be the cause and maybe a possible fix?Can this be also hardware related malfunction?I cant go into recovery mode, only download mode works...
Thank you for the help, my Samsung note 10.1 note went on boot loop about a year ago , i tried so many different ways to flash it and nothing worked. finally got it working with your help.
only problem i encountered was wen i click on (AP, for custom recovery, such as philz.. or official rom..up to you.) it didnt allow me to put the downloaded file in so i used (i9300_repair_efs.tar)
and it worked..
THANK YOU
You Sir are a pinnacle of evolution! Stumbled on this thread by error while going trough history links in my browser and all of a sudden my brick turned to Galaxy Note 10.1!
Only note, I've used i9300_repair_efs.tar for AP like farhaanwireless suggested and device is restoring as I type this
Thanks a ton once more

Can you tell us exact steps you did? Because I am trying without success :\
Also another thing: the i9300_repair_efs.tar it's a rar and when extracted I get a directory with a .md5 file... Is that file that are you using?
Yes, that md5 was used.....
I've went completely by procedure described in first post, with exception of i9300_repair_efs change as mentioned. For that part, I've used latest Odin downloaded from Samsung web, and for bootloader, I've used Odin 3.05, just to be sure, since there is a button with "Bootloader" written on it

after rooting my p1000, i`ve testet some tools.
for test reasons i`ve set density changer to 200 dpi and in the options i`ve used the reboot store funktion.
now the phone boot up sequenz stops after bootanimation.
sequenzes of vibrations are looping continously.
screen is blank. (no connect to kies possible)
(vol up+pow) factory reset and cache wipe will bring no effekt. (sometimes the recoverytool crashes and reboot, before the wipe is done)
download mode booting (vol down+power) will bring the 'hard working android' logo, but it will
not really connect to kies 1.5.3.(firmware flash mode in kies is not responding to usb drivers)
the p1000 hardware is already detected and the drivers are installed.
odin seems to be detecting the device on virtual com port 9, but i
don`t have any recovery image to flash in nandroid recovery. (update.zip)
samsung-firmwares doesnt have a p1000 categorie,yet.
has anybody a link to the original (odin flashable) firmware?
or any other hints? maybe by adb?

the firmware P1000XXJID.tar and P1_20100909.pit
after flashing its italian again. but its changeable to german and many other languages.
now its working again.
Hey guys,
i've got a big problem with my galaxy tab too.
Just the same symptoms like DOMin8or, but to me the fix does not work.
I used the 909pit and XAJID firmware in Odin3 1.3, but after reboot it hangs in the recovery mode with following problem:
update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can*t mount DBDATA:

Wipe/reboot does not change anything. It boots, samsung video appears and it hangs like it did before.
I hope someone can help me, i'm so frustrated .

EDIT---------------------------------EDIT
Oh, no. Things getting worse. I tried a galaxy s firmware and now the screen is black (without backlight) und
the led is on.
I cannot turn off the device or enter any menu.
But I can still flash, because the galaxy tab is shown in Odin3 (no firmware changes anything).
Plz. I need help! My tab is getting hotter and hotter, 'cause of the led.
EDIT2--------------------------------EDIT2
That is what I have done:
- I rooted the device on stock firmware (XXJID)
- I tried to run the voodoo lagfix, afterwards i couldn't boot.
- I flashed the firmware as described above and had the problem( in quote).
- I flashed a galaxy s firmware
The only I can do with the tab is to connect with odin3 and flash it, but every firmware and
pit I tried leads to the same result: Nothing changes.
The camera-led is on and if I hold the power button the one is ca. 3s off.
Is there a possibility do rescue the tab?
You used Galaxy S firmware?

I know, that was stupid.
What I do not understand is that I can flash the tab with Odin without an error, but nothing happens. Are there different bootloader? And the tab still can't execute the start up code?

the reason why densitiy changer would crash my device
the device f*cked up, because there was no busybox in the system, after
rooting with superoneclick short fuse root.
the density changer`s programmer knows about the problem and he
told me, that i have to install the busybox from market first.
superoneclick 1.4 does not installed a busybox automaticly.
maybe the new version of superoneclick will fix that.
normaly it could push the busybox by adb, automaticly.

it rulez very very smooth with stock firmware.

now, everything is ok.

Another same question,
Flash dbdata.rfs.tar on your pda option via odin after flashing jm6
ok do i need to tar a dbdata.rfs? and which dbdata.rfs.tar from which firmware?
Browse the JM6 thread, and it should be on the 1st or 2nd page of the thread.
No its already tar'd
just did this and it looks like its working
Hello everyone!
Before you start reading I have to warn you that I WOULD NOT suggest you try what I have written here because this was alittle too risky on a 800+€ device!!!
I actually managed to downgrade to JJ4 tonight after alot of risky trials and errors.
I have had that boot error in ODIN since first JM6 flash when trying to downgrade and I did the repartition with the PIT included with first JM6 rom.
I don't know what actually was necessary to do for the downgrade to succeed but this is how I got there. (The rom was the JJ4 from samfirmware with the included P1_hidden PIT)
1: I flashed CSC and MODEM in ODIN, not the PDA as that will fail.
2: I downloaded Heimdall 1.1.0 for windows and replaced the KIES driver with the one included with Heimdall, That is the "Samsung USB Composite Device" when phone is in Download mode.
3: Then I extraxted the .tar files and added those files in their places in the Heimdall frontend.
4: Now it got scary, as the first time I hit start it gave a FAIL instantly. However I just hit it one more time after that and it started writing factoryFS. Woohoo I tought and looked at the process untill 100%, after that nothing more happened. The bar on the phone showed that it was about 80% done but Heimdall didn't want to do anything more. I took a deep breath and forced the phone off, then start again and i got the ---!--- screen.
5: Now I had to uninstall and delete the Heimdall USB driver and reinstall the KIES driver to get ODIN back and repartition with the P1_hidden PIT file. Nothing more here, ONLY repartition with PIT, no PDA or modems.
6: Phone rebooted into JJ4 with Russian language as default.
Now i have PDA:JJ4 /PHONE:JID /CSC:JJ2
Going to try to get JJ3 flashed in ODIN now and then try a update with KIES as i want the stock scandinavian keyboard with ÅÄÖ back.

Hi guys,
I own a Galaxy Note 4 (N910H) and have rooted it before without any problem.
Long story short I wanted to install a custom rom and on the instruction says I need to reset my device to factory before I actually install it (because mine is 4.4.4).
I successfully reset it back to factory settings, however when I tried to install the rom an error occured.
When my device restarted it goes into a boot loop.
So I go into the recovery mode and delete the caches and what not (even selecting the reset to factory setting again).
When my device restart it is stuck at the boot sreen (samsung galaxy blablabla) and it DOESNT LOOP, it just stuck there and I am unable to go into recovery mode.
I tried to reflash it using odin (i can access the downloading mode) up to no avail.
My device is detected by odin (com:x) but when I pressed start it stuck at setup connection and after a while I got the Fail message.
Now I am at a loss and have no idea what else to do. Tried kies, doesnt work either.
Kies doesnt even recognize the connection to my phone.
Any help would be appreciated.
NB: I'm a newb at this so please bear with me (and yes I kind of ****ed up)
Thanks

If I'm not mistaken you have Kies installed? If that is the case I would recommend you uninstall it. Then manually download the Samsung USB drivers
http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117
Reboot your PC just to be sure.
Then make sure your device isn't connected to the charger or computer and remove the battery and after 10 seconds reinsert the battery and manually boot into Download Mode (Home + Volume Down while holding the power button.)
Then connect your phone to the your PC and run Odin as Admin and try to flash the firmware.
I would also recommend that the firmware you are flashing is the correct one and is not corrupted.
You can check the firmware from Sammobile and after the download check the MD5Sum and then extract the zip file to get the firmware file.
Good luck and report back.

Install the latest verson of kies on you computer.
Then in kies under "Tools" choose "firmware upgrade and initialisation".
Then give you model number "SM-N910?", next give serial number of the phone (you can find that on the sticker behind the battery in your phone).
Then you get a message that the "device can be initialised to its original setting"
Press ok and ok again. Then put your phone in download mode and connect to the computer and press "start upgrade".
Not working @dewingerd
Kies doesnt detect my phone. Bt drivers are installed correctly. It only opens in downloading mode

Happened to me also 2 days ago.
Your mobile only can enter download mode ? but when u try to go to recovery or just power it , nothing happened , right ??
Well , you should do as @dewingerd said carefully do these steps :
Initially you need to upgrade kies to the latest version (mine is : 3.2.15072_2) or this will fail cuz it failed with me the first time.
1) take of your battery , and write down your Serial number .
2) open kies first.
3) open mobile in download mode then connect it . KIES WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE MOBILE
4) Choose : Tools >> Firmware upgrade and initialisation
5) Kies will ask you about your mobile name , TYPE : SM-N910C , ALL CAPITAL LETTERS OR KIES WILL NOT RECOGNIZE IT
6) if you did not type the name correctly , you will get a message that kies does not know this name , so start again , type SM-N910C
7) then you will get another box asks for your serial number , enter it (Not case sensitive).
8) Kies then will inform you that it is going to prepare the phone and download the firmware for your device and that you have to connect it in download mode.
9) unplug your mobile , plug it again and click start.
10) Now the process is going to take a while depending on your internet connection (downloading about 2GB), do not unplug the phone and do not allow your laptop/PC to sleep.
11) cautions that I read before : you better not connect or disable any usb devices during the process.
12) suddenly , you will hear you mobile starting up again , congratulations
Q: What about my data , apps and stuff ?
A: All is gone except for those on your External card , sorry , nothing can be done for that (May be you should remove your SDcard first just in case).
Good Luck

7) then you will get another box asks for your serial number , enter it (Not case sensitive).
8) Kies then will inform you that it is going to prepare the phone and download the firmware for your device and that you have to connect it in download mode.
9) unplug your mobile , plug it again and click start.
10) Now the process is going to take a while depending on your internet connection (downloading about 2GB), do not unplug the phone and do not allow your laptop/PC to sleep.
11) cautions that I read before : you better not connect or disable any usb devices during the process.
12) suddenly , you will hear you mobile starting up again , congratulations
Q: What about my data , apps and stuff ?
A: All is gone except for those on your External card , sorry , nothing can be done for that (May be you should remove your SDcard first just in case).

thank for your quick reply, my variant is n910c ans yes i can still install recovery. I upgraded from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 poland using odin and everything works well. I flashed Googy N4 kernel using TWRP 2.8.1.1 and everything still works well. My problem began when I made a backup of my 5.1.1 stock rom and flash infinity rom which end up in bootloop. So I tried restoring my backup but whenever it got to DATA RESTORING it keeps failing and flashing back the 5.1.1 poland stock firmware through odin keeps ending up on the SAMSUNG boot animation screen.

which version of googy kernel ?
Well whatever , TWRP 2.8.1.1 won't work with 5.1.1 bootloader , try TWRP 2.8.7.0

GoogyMax N4 v2.0. I have tried TWRP 2.8.7.0 but still the same.
After flashing stock firmware using odin, on my stock recovery i found this error
"E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
dm-verity verification failed.......
need to check drk first......."
I have search through the internet but i can't get a clear picture of what it meant.
Does anyone has an idea of what it meant and how to resolve the error?

Hi again ,
Looks like a locked phone and was unlocked in a wrong way or something like that.
read this thread , looks like the same problem.
in short , you need the 4 files firmware to be flashed via oden and as stated in page 2 there , you flash them without pit file.
You can find the 4-files firmware here but this is not 5.1.1 firmware , give it a try , if failed too , search for 5.1.1 4-files firmware.
here is another site but I do not really know if they are 4-files or the single file .
Good luck.

yes my phone is back but not fully back. I am having a bad IMEI, phone is not registering on network and i have mistakenly delected my EFS backup........my bad!
Can i get a working EFS backup of the same phone model (n910c) and restore it on my note 4 n910c? will it restore back my IMEI?
APCOtech said:
Well , you should do as @dewingerd said carefully do these steps :
Initially you need to upgrade kies to the latest version (mine is : 3.2.15072_2) or this will fail cuz it failed with me the first time.
1) take of your battery , and write down your Serial number .
2) open kies first.
3) open mobile in download mode then connect it . KIES WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE MOBILE
4) Choose : Tools >> Firmware upgrade and initialisation
5) Kies will ask you about your mobile name , TYPE : SM-N910C , ALL CAPITAL LETTERS OR KIES WILL NOT RECOGNIZE IT
6) if you did not type the name correctly , you will get a message that kies does not know this name , so start again , type SM-N910C
7) then you will get another box asks for your serial number , enter it (Not case sensitive).
8) Kies then will inform you that it is going to prepare the phone and download the firmware for your device and that you have to connect it in download mode.
9) unplug your mobile , plug it again and click start.
10) Now the process is going to take a while depending on your internet connection (downloading about 2GB), do not unplug the phone and do not allow your laptop/PC to sleep.
11) cautions that I read before : you better not connect or disable any usb devices during the process.
12) suddenly , you will hear you mobile starting up again , congratulations
Q: What about my data , apps and stuff ?
A: All is gone except for those on your External card , sorry , nothing can be done for that (May be you should remove your SDcard first just in case).

Try to download the appropriate firmware with Samfirm_reborn0.3.6.2 you'll find on Github. Unpack the .zip and start as admin.
Insert full device name and region and additionally check "binary nature" box.
It should download the latest! ROM multiple file format from Samsungs servers directly, at least it did for all my 7 devices (just in case) before I rooted them.
BUT I know that for N910V nothing is found and don't know about S model.
KIES I never used as I read it sometimes conflicts with Odin.
If files are downloaded flash with Odin adding the different files in their input fields. (selve explaining names)
Hello guys. I hope I posted in the right section as this is my first post here. I tried to root my phone (S4 I9505) today,but it failed. Now I'm stuck at the screen where it says to "select recovery in Kies". Can anyone help me? Samsung Smart Switch does not recognize my device. As I searched in other posts,most of the persons with this problem were able to use button combinations. In my case, I CANNOT enter Download,or Recovery mode. This is very important,so please help me.
Flash the stock rom using Odin even if the phone only displays the firmware upgrade screen.

Any instructions for doing that please? I repeat,I cannot acces download/recovery mode.
FOUND A SOLUTION.
1) I found this thread,and saw a reply talking about a .PIT file.
2)Searched for,and found the said file here
3)Selected the "PIT" option in Odin,searched for the file,and then I pressed "Start". It took 2 seconds to pass,and the phone rebooted without any problem.
