Hi, my 910G started to restart. Today, didn't boot anymore. Not even in Recovery. But now is on Download mode and says "mmc_read-fail". I've read that it could be a hard problem.. but maybe it could be a partition problem. IN that case, I need the pit file, but I can't find it. I tried to flash the stock rom using oding, but i get olways an error :S.
Please, help me!
If you can't even get to odin without mmc read, maybe it is your memory. Sorry I couldn't help, can't beat hardware failures. .Best of luck
I can give you two suggestions
1)Start from scratch.
Remove any samsung related prog from control panel of your computer
Then flash stock firmware with odin
2)Try to claim warranty and tell them you get custom when you are trying to fix it from Internet

I've installed some roms. Now I'm on Nameless Rom. The problem is when I turn off the phone. If I take out the battery, put it, and press "on button", it says "could do not normal boot mmc_read failed". But if I do that processs, and enter to recovery, tap "reset normal mode", the phone works great... What could it be?

Well, this is the new "panorama":
The phone started again, when I installed the Singapure 5.1.1 N910G Version. Then, I've installed Nameless Rom 5.1.1 Stock. In the first reboot, it reboot again, and show "MCC READING ERROR" with "Download Mode". Turned it off and on, and it works again.
The thing is that the phone wasn't working 100%. Maybe in one reboot, it works flawless for 10 minuts. Then, get a call and the phone get stuck. Need to take battery out, to get it work.
So I've installed Australian Version 5.1.1. The same. Maybe its thing of me, but I think that when I try the phone with the Sim inside, its when it worse work. It's more common to have lag in an app.
I'm getting mad, really. I want to sell it, and I can't sell it like this... because I don't know if it will work or fail.
Tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823918. Used the 4 files. No problem in any block. Not even in Ifinite loop mode, when it searchs for an error till it gets one...
I don't know what to dooooooo

#1. Flash one thing and stop messing with it! DO NOT install anything else but stock TW ROMs until you get it working.
#2 Flash the correct firmware (MODEL/BOOTLOADER VERSION)
#3 After ODIN flash, from stock recovery choose reset to factory default.

Here you have it. I done what you told me. Installed from scratch with odin, and then Factory Reset. Sometimes it takes long to boot (like, stays in "galaxy note 4 boot screen for 15 seconds). And when it turn on, it takes its time to show lockscreen.

Ok, I'm tracking now. Been helping 2-3 people and got mixed up.
I did find this.... So if anyone with a working N910G, they can do this.
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=580 skip=2176
Need to be rooted and busybox installed.
I've found it multiple places.

Correct.
I guess it's possible yours is broken. Not sure how. Except possibly flashing the wrong firmware from a different model or make phone.
That's one thing I have give Samsung a little credit on. They are trying to at least make the phone where they can't get f*cked up.
It does cost them money also to replace the phones that get wrecked by people flashing stuff randomly and turning them back in under warranty.
Not directing this at you. Hell I've turned a phone in I messed with.
I think it was messed up when I got it but I'll never know since I starting hacking into it as soon as I got it.
@takato23 @dicksteele
I've done the command on my N910G. I hope this helps. :good:
https://mega.nz/#!cJlH3T6C!uOb2jJXfLIfEzzqirAVmRYNKg0rTqo81RdM6i3pFfGU
So I have to flash the pit file alone, using re partition enabled in Odin? Or the pit file and the firmware?

See for yourself what you posted in the title thread you have never mentioned that you used pit or boot loader - this is what i was asking also because simply flashing stock with Odin or JB won't give you hard bricks !
You shouldn't use pit and all unless you know what you are doing !
Try jig but if this is a hard brick it won't help !
Do you have warranty ? If yes go to Samsung service centre and play dumb !

2) There's NO way that your phone would "collapse" due to installing live wallpaper/ANY app that doesnt involve data wipe or modifying the kernel values..
3) What do you mean by nothing works? Did it get stuck at boot?
4) Well, did you flash it correctly? Which stock Firmware package did you take?
5) Including PIT and BOOTLOADER does NOT make a phone hard brick unless you use another phones bootloader/PIT. I made a lot of flashing with PIT, bootloader and repartition, this isnt the cause of your problem.
You must have taken another phones stock ROM packages/bootloader or using wrong method to flash the stock ROM, there's no way your recovery could be "lost" or your phone hard bricked by using correct firmware packages and flashing correctly.

Nope, using PIT/bootloader does NOT cause any problems. Its just not recommended as people could hard brick their device choosing wrong bootloader/pit. I always flash my STOCK roms (done like 30-40 times) using PIT, Bootloader and repartitioning. Its NOT the issue. The OP must have used the wrong stock firmware packages or using bootloader/pit of another phone
Sorry venkie now i have seen your post ! Damn tapatalk i missed it earlier !
Okay tell me from where you got the pit file ?
For jig all you need is a usb male - cut it out from some old data cables and 3x 100k +1k resistors . Peel off the usb male and connect the resistors in series with 4and 5 pins of the male - done ! Plug it in !

Hello all!
I have been a long time lurker, since the release of the Galaxy S3. I thought I had an account here but when I tried logging in I was told my credentials were invalid. Here is the situation. I tried to root my girlfriends phone and forgot to enable USB Debugging. Now it's stuck on the message that says; "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I have been scouring this forum for 2 days just about and I can't seem to find a situation like mine, a little like mine but not exactly like mine. I never really posted because any issue I've had, I have been able to fix by scouring the forums but this one is different.
I've downloaded Kies and tried to do an emergency recovery but it keeps saying the phone isn't recognized. I've tried every step but it keeps failing on me near the end. I've used Odin and it fails every time and I don't think I can boot into recovery mode. I can boot into the screen with the big droidbot where it say "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET" but I can't boot into the actual recovery mode where I can use the volume keys to wipe cache or anything else.
Any help will be appreciated. Sorry I haven't engaged in the customary 4play before diving right in but we are on vacation in Puerto Rico and check out is in an hour. I want to get it up and running before that. I'm glued to my laptop so any thing you need to know that might help you to help me, please ask.

I've used Odin and it fails every time and I don't think I can boot into recovery mode. I can boot into the screen with the big droidbot where it say "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET" but I can't boot into the actual recovery mode where I can use the volume keys to wipe cache or anything else.
Any help will be appreciated. Sorry I haven't engaged in the customary 4play before diving right in but we are on vacation in Puerto Rico and check out is in an hour. I want to get it up and running before that. I'm glued to my laptop so any thing you need to know that might help you to help me, please ask.

Sounds like you borked your stock recovery. Dependening on which firmware you were on flash the stock recovery in PDA slot in Odin:
MK2:https://mega.co.nz/#!E0kmzJLJ!Ftv1rwI68IU847kxATj9MF45ykUPlmyCUOF6OXs0HdY
NB1:https://mega.co.nz/#!M9EQBT5A!ri4QeMYpgi-JjmUGZ3FY2gtogDBWPEL7zRCjASIcVe8
Download latest firmware and use Odin to flash said firmware. Should fix the problem
Sent from my HTC6600LVW using xda app-developers app
It's a Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 and she was running KitKat 4.4.2 when it went brick. I'll try the steps outlined and let you guys know how it goes.
So I tried flashing using Odin and here is what I got. I said PIT file was missing so I loaded a PIT file and what you see is what I saw.

I removed MD5 from the end of the file and it worked flawlessly. I was able to get into recovery mode and from everything I've learned here over the years I got it from here. Thank you guys so much, the knowledge that's here is amazing.

Not so fast lol. I had to leave our rented house and now we are at her parents house before we leave in the morning. I shouldn't have rushed out but we were out of time. Now the screen stops at the AT&T logo and it turns orange. It won't start up to the actual OS. Any help with that? I can get to recovery mode and download mode but nothing more.
On a side note, while I was driving over here this situation made me want to learn more and the fact that you guys love helping so much makes me want to learn more about my phone and taking advantage of it. I'm going to find a profile picture to customize my profile because once I hit the states I think I'm going to participate a lot more. I just saw some custom themes that blew my mind!
Just noticed it gets extremely hot when it let it sit on the frozen orange logo screen.

Thank you! All I have are the MK2 files. I'll wait until I get to an actual wifi spot to download that because I've almost chewed up most of my cell bandwidth for the month. A 1.5GB hit won't help.
Also I just noticed the thank you button so I'm going to give thanks for everyone that has helped. It's appreciated!
Wait, I have the rooted NB1 image V2.0. Can I use that? Problem is, every time I try and use it, Odin crashes.
These are the last steps I was following before it bricked it accidentally. I have all these files.

I recommend you flash the 4.4 NB1 full odin tar to get your back up and running. From there you can take your time and do some reading and make sure you understand before flashing anything else. As long as newbies make an attempt to search and read most people here are glad to answer questions. Good luck

Yeah so I'll look for a good connection that wont kill my data plan. What funny is, I can root in my sleep, been doing it for a few years. With hers I just screwed up and now it's giving me problems. There is a plethora of data here that I mine through every few weeks. Up until this newest update my phone has been rooted since I got it with SU, Titanium Backup etc but I guess I have to keep up with what's new. You live and you learn I guess. Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it.

lol, i was thinking the same thing. Would not like to be him right now.
Hello, my name is Chris and I was beeing stupid.
I accidentaly started the latest OTA System Update (in Germany) on my rooted 830L.
After that, it was stuck in Bootloop.
I thought I was being smart and tried to go back to stock Kitkat so start over from there.
So i used the tool from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/thinkpad-tablet/general/yoga-tab-2-830-1050-1380-to-kitkat-t3240487 whichh seemed to work.
Afterwards i tried to flash Stock Kitkat using this firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62237392&postcount=9 and according to a german how to. That seemed to go well, too. But now the tablet starts in strange mode:
It is not recognized by the PC in this mode. I still can enter fastboot mode though. In Fone flash tool it is shown as INT1503... and not as Bayflie or whatever it was before.
Ist there anything i can do to repair this? Thank you very much in advance!!
Chris

go in fastboot mode and take a picture
try flashing the lollipop stock rom , maybe you are still on the lollipop bios.
1. download and extract someplace on your pc
2. uninstall your existing Phone Flash Tool and from the drivers folder install both files (Intel Phone Flash Tool and Android Driver accepting defaults) reboot pc when finished
3. place your tab in DNX mode (from power off press and hold both volume keys then press pwr to start, in a few you screen will show "Fastboot starting..." message and hang on that. you must get that message on your tab screen, restart from power off until you have it)
4. start the installed Phone Flash Tool and load flash.xml from the extracted YT2-830L... folder then Start Flashing, it will reboot when done
I just realized that I was even more stupid than I thought.
I flashed a 830F KitKat Rom to my 830L!!!! Is there a way to revert that?
I have added a picture of the fastboot screen above, since i couldnt link it here.
Thank you!

already instructed you with some stuff (also, that one is the DNX mode, fastboot mode is the one with the Droidboot menu etc). it is likely that your bios is still a lollipop one, the rom i linked is for lollipop. if it does not work just download the kitkat stock rom for your model and flash it
Ok, I am a step forward. At least there seems to be something.
Flashing your image with the tool did not work. It lead to the same screen as the first picture above.
However, when i tried to flash the KitKat Rom with your tool it startet and it went into Droidboot.
Flashing did not finish thoug. i get this error, see UPDATE 2 Above.

go in File->Options check the Force sparsing box and input 500MB in there (if is not already) then repeat the whole flashing procedure
i asked you to flash lollipop first just in case you were still on the lollipop bios (for the future so you should know, you can flash a stock rom matching your existing install if you brick, for eg you could have flashed a stock lollipop rom from the beginning) no longer the case as now you have downgraded the bios to kitkat. after you flash kitkat rom remember to set your region code before you start to update through ota's.

Excellent, Tab is booting and seems to be working!!! Region code is changed to de. Thank you very much.
From your other post that i have seen there it seems possible to flash the LC Formware to enable Calling?
Would i proceed by updating to Lilipop, all ota updates and then flash the lolipop 830LC firmware as sugested in the other post? Will it work with region code de and is it rootable?
Thank you very much again!

Hello there,
I'm facing pretty much of the same issues.
Having the 1050l Version, tried to update the ota while having the device rooted. So after that, it just booted until the "those who do"-sign.
I followed the "get back to kitkat" thread, downgraded the bios (might have worked i think) and flashed YT2-1050L_S0225_150422_ROW to it.
Right now it is just coming to the very first "powered by Android"-screen and aborts rebooting, booting again, and so on and so on.
Might it be that theres sill the lollipop bios on it?
Thought about flashing yoga_tab_2_osc_android_to_lollipop_201505.rar (Official stock rom) on it, but dont want to make any further stepp before having your advice.
I hope for you help,
Thank you.

this is the 1050L kikat stock rom and this is the lollipop one
if you are sure that you downgraded the bios when using the restore kitkat bios tool then flash the kikat one
Thank you very much.
It just appeared to me that i flashed the "erase" image, so i might try to flash the "blank factory" one.

do not use other files than flash.xml, you can erase the imei for eg or even worse some xml files are writing a bios that will hard-brick. always use a known stock rom and never use other files than flash.xml unless instructed otherwise!
Oh boy... ye i will keep that in mind definately!
Is there btw any possibility to charge the device in the current status?

if you used the 'restore kitkat bios' tool once there's no need to use it again (you already have the kitkat bios)
download the kitkat stock rom i linked, extract it and flash using intel phone flash tool (flash.xml file) from dnx mode (from pwr off, press and hold both vol keys then pwr on, screen will stay on a 'fastboot starting...' message, you must have this message on your tab when you click the 'start flashing' on the intel phont flash tool)

I wanted to install xposed framework on my S7 edge but it failed due to some reason about not being able to mount/system or something. To fix that, i reformatted my /system and /data to FAT from TWRP. part way through reformatting /data, it froze and i restarted my phone, now it was unable to boot into recovery. I then attempted to reinstall the stock rom from ODIN and now it boots straight into a flat orange screen. Within this screen, i can hear the change in volume when i press the volume buttons, the LED on my phone is on (blue) and i can turn the screen on and off with the power button. It seems like a normal functioning phone, just with an orange screen that wont change.
If anyone can help me fix this problem i would really appreciate it, any help is valuable and if you need anything that im able to provide, i will.
Thanks.
Edit: I can sometimes get it into download mode and the TWRP screen loads, but then nothing happens.
I may not be able to fix your problem but I am curious, why would you format to FAT when the standard filesystem used is ext4?

I watched a video and it said to do it, yes, it was a bad idea.
What i have done was reinstall TWRP and it works now. Still orange screen. Where do i go from here?
Why on earth did you format to FAT? Android/data, /system and /boot are EXT4. /sd card is FAT.
Think you'll have to reflash stock firmware with Odin, assuming you can still get into download mode. Your non-external sd card data is probably history though.

And you've extracted the necessary .tar etc files from the stock FW? I'm assuming you are very new to this, just making sure you're covering everything. And please describe exactly what happened when you tried to flash Xposed. Which version, installer etc. A screenshots of your Odin fail would be helpful too.

OK. We'll sort this out! I'm no expert, but I've made every f-up possible with Odin/TWRP, so I'm an expert at rectifying my mistakes...
Off out for lunch, back in 2 hours. Hopefully you'll be fixed by then but I'll check. One other thing in Odin - in options, check "F-reset time" but NOTHING ELSE.

Don't think so, but I've never been carrier locked. I'd use it just to get up and running again, you can always flash something else later.

Thanks mate, ill keep updating here if i encounter more problems ill post them here. Thanks for the help so far. Im in a better spot than when i started this thread
I reinstall the stock firmware and currently it is installing applications. Looks like it is going to be fine. Next step is to make a backup and install xposed.
Hello forums,
I'm a novice in the field of tinkering with Android firmwares for phones. Just today I bought a perfectly fine, working second-hand S7 Edge, but I found out the owner had flashed a custom ROM to it, which prevented several features from working and made some annoying notification pop-ups. I wanted to revert to stock staying away from things like Odin, and I found out I can flash firmware using Smart Switch by Samsung. Apparently, when I completed the update, the phone would refuse to boot up.
This is the firmware Smart Switch has installed on my phone:
{

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(I actually live in the Baltic countries, Lithuania to be more exact. I think SEB firmware is the one I need.)
This is the only screen my phone can make right now:
I've found that the only way to fix my phone now is through an Odin flash, but the firmwares take hours to download, and I'm not spending $16.5 to SamMobile for a one-time download. Plus, I don't know what those different BL, AP, CP or CSC buttons mean, or why I have to specifically flash the firmware with my HOME_CSC, which I don't know where to get from.
I just want to get my darn phone fixed on any firmware and I'm willing to hear any feedback from you.
The 5 files are
BL = bootloader
AP = kernal
CP= modem
csc = home csc if you want to keep the data currently on your phone. Generally you would use the first 4 files unless you are starting from scrate then substitue csc for home csc.
csc = use other csc, you will delete everything on your phone and will be reset like came out of the box.
these files are stored in a zip format in the download.
Download the file and unzip it for the 5 files which you would then upload to odin.
Ity sounds like you have a poor internet connection. If the file does not get download properly, it could get corrupted and be useless.
Flashing with odin on older computer could take up 30 minutes.

No, I have a good computer, but all of those cancerous websites don't allow faster download speeds than 150 KB/s if I'm choosing their free version.
OK, this phone is completely F-ed. I don't know what to do at this point, because when it says "Installing system updates", it stops at 32% and then says "Erasing", and follows up with the infamous "No command" screen. Says dm-verity error... failed code: 0x02.
I'm pretty sure I'm installing quite valid firmware. Do I must install the correct CSC file, otherwise it won't work?
These xda developer forums aren't quite helpful, are they? I only get info I can find everywhere, and not the info I need.
You might wanna read this thread. Read it all first before trying anything... I think the answer is in there..

Hello forums,
I'm a novice in the field of tinkering with Android firmwares for phones. Just today I bought a perfectly fine, working second-hand S7 Edge, but I found out the owner had flashed a custom ROM to it, which prevented several features from working and made some annoying notification pop-ups. I wanted to revert to stock staying away from things like Odin, and I found out I can flash firmware using Smart Switch by Samsung. Apparently, when I completed the update, the phone would refuse to boot up.
This is the firmware Smart Switch has installed on my phone:
(I actually live in the Baltic countries, Lithuania to be more exact. I think SEB firmware is the one I need.)
This is the only screen my phone can make right now:
I've found that the only way to fix my phone now is through an Odin flash, but the firmwares take hours to download, and I'm not spending $16.5 to SamMobile for a one-time download. Plus, I don't know what those different BL, AP, CP or CSC buttons mean, or why I have to specifically flash the firmware with my HOME_CSC, which I don't know where to get from.
I just want to get my darn phone fixed on any firmware and I'm willing to hear any feedback from you.

You can't spell, plus, that tool is deprecated. I used updato.com later on, which lets me download at proper 10 MB/s speeds.
Why does this forum always imply that the original poster is a goddamn dumbass? What sort of people join this forum, seriously?

You told me that I used the wrong firmware, that's incorrect. You're helping me in the wrong way.
I can't change my CSC anymore. It's stuck on multi-CSC in BTU, no matter how many times I try. I tried taking my phone to a repair shop, they weren't able to do it and said that my IMEI is gone. But why does that prevent the phone from booting? My proper CSC is supposed to be SEB, and I know that. I just need to find out how to flash the firmware so that the phone can boot. Maybe EFS Clear and NAND Erase All?

This guide is telling me to install apk files and root my device??? My phone doesn't boot, how am I supposed to follow the steps? Also, the video is completely useless and pathetic. Why can't they make normal downloads instead of ad click sites and not fill the description with arabic text?
The guide telling how to fix dm-verity errors is showing just to install stock firmware. I have done that a million times, it does not work anymore. Do I have to do the Factory Mode thing first?

I don't mistrust you completely, but you having posted only 5 posts in this entire forum makes me unsure about this. I've taken the phone to some different technicians, hopefully they can fix it before I have to.

Well, I had my phone fix by an acquaintance of mine, he explained to me that he loaded completely official Samsung firmware he got by contacting Samsung directly, but I didn't ask specifically how he did it. Anyway, the phone is still KNOX tripped, but it works. Problem solved just by taking it for professional repair.
