[Q] Someone please help!!!

ok i recently got a european open to all networks samsung galaxy tab,
now i decided to install a custom rom last night with horrible results, my phone is now stuck on the samsung boot screen and will not load properly,
here are the steps i took that ended me up in this mess,
i installed rom manager from android market,
then installed clockwork mod from inside rom manager, following the exact steps i was given but heres where i think i went wrong,
at some point it asked u back up everything onto an sd card, now i thought i had an sd inside it already but i didnt and thats what i think caused all the trouble,
i backed up all my files anyway onto the internal memory b4 goin into recovery mode, after completely wiping the phone as it saids u shud do, i then proceeded to load the modaco rom that i had installed into the "download" section of my memory and thats where it said the exact following words....
Checking /system...
E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
/system may be rfs. checking...
checking /date...
checking /database...
checking /cache...
filesystems need to be converted to ext4.
a backup and restore will now take place.
if anything goes wrong, your backup will be named before-ext4-convert-1297008631. try restoring it incase of error.
E:failed to mount /sdcrard (no such file or directory)
now i've tried restoring it and backing it up but all it repeats is the same thing, i know i messed up but now all i want to know is how can i fix it?
please any help would be much appreciated.

A brandnew start from scratch with Odin and repartioning with the rom from Rotohammer JMIv1.0 or v2.0 wouldt be my advice. You need the pit-file as well. Can be found on his server.

First extract the P1000XWJJ3.rar. You shouldt be left with a single tar-file?! If so
Well if you have the right files. Start Odin. On the left you see the option 'repartion', tick that box. On the left you see pit. Tick that box and load the pit-file. Tick the box PDA and load the tar.file you extracted.
Start the tablet in download modus and attach it to youre pc. You shouldt see on top left a yellow box. Then just press start in Odin
beware that all on yore tablet will be deleted.
here is a very good guide with pictures.

Ok great. at least you got it working again....
Now you need to flash the baseband-modem that you can find in the download link below. Flash it in Odin. Uncheck repartion. Check 'phone' and load the modemfile you downloaded. Its a tar.file. Leave it as it is. Then press start and the baseband will be installed.
Then you have to set-up the APN from youre telecom-provider and you will be up and running.....

ok i downloaded the p100-radio-xxjmf.tar file and followed the instructions u gave but it failed and said this message...
<ID:0/004> set up connection.
<ID:0/004> cant open the serial (COM) port.
OSM All threads completed ( succeeded 0/ failed 1)
i dont understand why it would say that, could it be cos the .tar is xxjmf and the Rom by roto uses jmi? u think u could help? thanks again honestly, you've been a life saver.

Hey mate, seems I am in a similar predicament here. Just 2 days back I flashed my Tab to Roto JMI v2 from a stock Asian firmware (DDJK3 I suppose) due to a bad Modaco flash that went really bad. Wiped off my data from god knows what areas. Now I am facing an issue that I am not able to understand or solve.
I was using Titanium Backup to remove a system app without Chuck Norris mode, which meant I had to reboot device and it would delete it OS level and say reboot to system. But once I click on reboot system an Exclamation mark just comes across the screen and NOW I CAN'T BOOT INTO my system. neither to i see the options it was earlier showing me upon Pwer + Vol Key up. The only option left for me is to reflash it using Odin.
Any Ideas mate? Reflashing again and again is not the solution right?
Thanks & Cheers!

Well, first of all. Removing system app ad hoc is not really clever to do. But you cant get into the recovery so you are able to clear cache and do a factory-reset? Volume-up+Power on and holding the volume-upbutton untill you get into the recovery?
If not you have to reflash from scratch with Odin. Use the pit/file and check repartion.

[Q] Returning Galaxy S4 (rooted) for a new one. Please help. (or unroot help)

So yesterday when AT&T announced 50% off of smartphones I was pretty dumbfounded since I got a brand new S4 the day before. But the day I got it I rooted it and did all the other stuff. I will return my S4 for a new one but it's impossible for me to unroot. Everything I've done doesn't seem to work. I used Odin but it stops at the "Get PIT for mapping" stage. I tried deleting SuperSU but that didn't work. It made things worse because it said I'm not rooted but I still am. Now I can't even go to recovery. And I can't even connect to Kies. Can anyone help me unroot my device or help me be able to return my device when it's rooted?

I would think the tools section of Kies will have an option that will work. Connection trouble shoot first then emergency recovery. If your phone boots, you should be able to reset it to out of the box state.
If it's still rooted, try triangle away app.
If you go to settings, more, about device, build number, then tap on build number repeatedly it will restore developer options, if it's not shown now. From there you can enable or disable USB debugging. That might help with Odin. Wish I had more answers for ya.
Also try settings, accounts, backup and reset, factory data reset.

Do you know how to enter the download mode? If so then odin should recognize it. I think it's "hold the power button, down volume, and home button" till it instructs you to let got and hit the up volume button. The connect it to the pc for odin.

Yes I'm trying the Odin process. It's working so far except it stops at "Get PIT for mapping..." which is here i.imgur.com/z8fnjRd (add png to the end)
Kies is not recognizing my device after troubleshoot. It is stuck at "Connecting..." which prevents me from emergency firmware recovery.
There are two options that will help me the most:
Connecting to Kies and getting a PIT file for Odin

Is your phone a US AT&T model I337? There is a stock recovery rom in this forum somewhere, it's a zip file when extracted it will have a tar.MD5 file for use with odin. Or maybe you should use the PDA selection in odin, and uncheck the reboot box.

Why don't you just call cs and get credit for the difference instead of returning it. You're going to get another s4 anyways.

Yeah I might do that now, but I want to fix everything first then start new.

Everyone I now know what I really want to do. I want to flash the stock ROM. But this is impossible with http://i.imgur.com/z8fnjRd.png "Get PIT for mapping" is stopping me, which is very frustrating.

Just throwing out some ideas. Try a different cable if you got another one. Try plugging into a usb port in back of computer. You could try to re download the file again using a different mirror. Could just be a bad download. Anyways good luck.

[Q] Please help w/ getting back to stock.

I don't want this post to be too long but I need some help here, let me sum it up.
I purchased a secondhand Note3 off Ebay to replace my Note2. I got it an it appears to me that it's been "modified", I see this SafeStrap thing at startup and a SuperSU App. Once I saw this I decided to hold off on putting my sim card in and have just been using it on wifi. I used the "RootChecker" app to see if it's rooted and it tells me yes. System info tells me the phone is running 4.3. I know not much of this rooting, flashing, roms, kernel scene. So:
- My goal is to get this phone back to stock setting, no SafeStrap or root of any kind if it's there, so the phone operates and is just as it would be if purchased new from Verizon. What is the easiest way to go about doing this?
From there I might actually think of trying my hand at rooting this thing since it's a secondhand device, but I first want to eliminate any modifications made to the phone by the previous owner, and if I do root I want to start from ground zero and do it myself.
I apologize for my ignorance in this but could really use the help and hopefully learn more about this world along the way since it seems everyone who roots swears by it, I must be missing something but for now my objective is a clean slate with this device
Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys, hopefully I can find some time tomorrow to tackle this.
One question just reading through the guide quickly, for step 2, downloading the stock image, I assume I want 4.3 for retail? IF so, I see 3 options: Official VRUBMJE 4.3, Official VRUBMJ7 4.3, and Official VRUBMI9 4.3. Does it matter which one? I am assuming they are just different releases of 4.3 but not sure, or if I could pick one that would work better than another.
I'll copy and paste the info below if you don't know off-hand what I am referring to.
Thanks again! :good:
Section 1: How to return to Stock Android 4.3 and recover from a Soft Brick.
Take Note If your Retail Locked N3 took the OTA update, you can not revert back to older firmware. Verizon now has Samsung blacklist the older firmwares bootloader after each update. If you try and flash older firmware the device will softbrick.
Step 1: Download and install Odin to a Windows based PC- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2189539
Step 2: Download a stock Odin image and Pit file to the PC. If Odin does not recognize the file then extract it with a program such as 7zip.
RETAIL Locked N3 Restore Files
Official VRUCNC4 4.4.2- http://samsung-updates.com/details/2...0VVRUCNC4.html(Only use this if you took the OTA or do not mind being stuck on stock...there is currently no root method available yet!)
Official VRUBMJE 4.3- http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319196106(Retail locked N3 only)
Official VRUBMJ7 4.3- http://d-h.st/IEW(Retail Locked N3 ONLY)
Official VRUBMI9 4.3- https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B26p...LWs/edit?pli=1(Retail Locked N3 ONLY)
Developer Edition N3 Restore Files
DE_VRUBMJE 4.3-http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319196402
-------------
HLTE_32gb.PitFile- http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23159073880936457(works for bothe DE and Retail devices)
Step 3: Power device off, hold the volume down/home/power keys until you see a yellow triangle, then press the volume up key to access "odin or download mode".
Step 4: Open Odin and connect the oem usb cable from pc to device. The driver should automatically install( it did for me on windows 7 64bit). There should also be a "comport number" in upper left hand corner of Odin indicating communication between the pc & device.
*If the drivers do not automatically install, then manually install the drivers in link and proceed to the next step. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2038555
Step 5: Click on the Pit function of Odin and select Pit file you downloaded in Step:2.
Step 6: Click on the AP/PDA(depends on Odin version) function of Odin. Select the stock 4.3 image you downloaded in step 2, then select start. This operation should take less than 8 minutes before Odin will say pass/reset.
Step 7: Your device should boot back up into factory stock 4.3 Android! However, these stock Odin files do not wipe data. To wipe data, power the device off, press and hold the volume up/home/power buttons until the samsung logo appears. The device will boot into recovery and from there you will need to wipe data/factory reset, then reboot.

The mje should do fime. It's the latest jb stock firmware. Once you boot up into that, your phone should promt you to accept the new kk update.
I know you do not want or care about root, but I'll say this anyways. Once you've accepted the new ota update, there's no way to root and there's no way to get back to jb. Like I said, probably not a concern of yours... just throwing it out there.

Step 5: Click on the Pit function of Odin and select Pit file you downloaded in Step:2.

Following step 2 gave me one file, which I believe is the 4.3 image ( the file is 1.28GB). What exactly is the Pit file I am missing and how do I get it?
Thanks

u shouldnt need it. I think its a fix for a bootloop. I've returned my note 3 to stock many of times and havent had the use for a pit file

Another hangup, clicking on AP in Odin it doesn't seem to recognize the image file I downloaded. It seems to be looking for .tar, .md5, .smd, .gz, and .tgz . The file I got from the guide is .7z
Am I doing something wrong?

You need to download a program called 7zip and use that to extract the md5.

I clicked start and I am 99% sure it's frozen, I don't see anything that would indicate that it's working and it's nearly 1 hour later.
Is it safe to try and power down the phone and/or exit Odin and try again or could that screw something up?

Oops, sorry shabby! If you had one, I didn't see it. You didn't have a thread for it, right? Cause I looked and didn't see one.

There's a few already, in general where these threads belong. Moving this there.

This happens on a brand spanking new Sprint note 4 right out of the box. I know this because when me and my wife got our new phones at a corporate Sprint store the sprint installer "stopped working" on first boot when they were activating our phones and turning them on for the first time. This is caused by the way they have these installer/preload apk's in the rom and the fact that the installer has to contact the network and actually download files during setup. This is NOTHING to worry about. Simply reboot your phone a second time and the sprint configuration installer will initialize and do it's thing. This is jst a little quirk but I've seen on on stock unrooted phones and rooted phones exactly the same.

Thanks forbyhe insight. Knowing this i flashed this rom and everything is running smoothly

[STOCK][FIRMWARE][MM][TMOBILE] G550T - UVU1APF1

T Mobile Stock Firmware files
I did a deep dig and managed to come across the attached files from this source (files conveniently contained in .zip below or feel free to download separately from the source):
(Note: these are T Mobile On5 stock firmware)
AP_G550TUVU1APF1.tar.md5
CP_G550TUVU1APF1.tar.md5
OPT_G550TUVU1APF1.tar.md5
on5ltetmo.pit
From what I read.. one should be able to flash with ODIN. However, I would suggest that you already have a good idea of what you're doing (which files to flash and under which tab in ODIN) before flashing your phone.
All the flashing I have done using ODIN I have done so using only the AP tab>make sure Repartition is off>and disable Auto-Boot (all of those instructions can be found in other threads on xda). However, if anyone would like to chime in with any additional pointers that they feel should be posted please do so.
Otherwise.. I hope these will help some of those stuck w/ that MetroPCS firmware.

i cant flash in in odin . i says FAIL

Same here. Odin says Fail

You can't flash it because Odin uses tar. or .md5

Watch my youtube tutorial on how to remove frp lock/unbrick samsung on5 (sm-g550t)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6Yy0f6qtHA&t=4s

Did you guys make sure to click the oem unlock in developer options? Without doing so Odin will always come back with a fail as samsung has locked the boot loader. To enable developer options go to about device and tap on the build version until you see a small pop up on the bottom of the screen saying developer options enabled or something to that nature. Then go back to settings and developer options will be available right above the about device section. Open developer options and scroll down and click one unlock. Once you have done so the try flashing with Odin. Reminder... oem unlock should remain clicked at all times or else &it won't work. Hope this helps.

This must be done BEFORE flashing. Not doing so can brick the device.

I assumed that the device was already bricked and that what they were trying to do is unbrick it again

Yea then if you updated then you may need to use another firmware file. I know that sammobile hasn't even released the one I have in my videos, so I believe you're gong to have some problems finding the upgraded firmware. I could be wrong though.

FIX IT! USING KIES3 AND USE THE "firmware update and initialization" Option.

ON5 screen is grayish black
I used Odin to flash my phone Odin says I passed I got the green light but my screen is still black .Only the splash screen will show then it goes back to gray/black
Does anyone know how to remedy this?

how to do this

I have a Galaxy On5 --Metro PCS version---
How can I disable or remove the update notices which sit in Application Manager and continually pop up and in the top Notification bar? I have checked all the videos on Youtube but nothing works.
My On5 is not rooted (I am happy enough with the stock version, I'm just worried about letting the update go through and messing up my phone.) I don't think the update's downloaded TO my phone. I can't find it and the notification keeps asking me to liberate more space for its download....
How to get rid of it and just stay with the original OS. Thanks for your help!

The system.img in this firmware is corrupt.

I want to flash it by SD Card is it possible?

the problem with this answer is that we, the victims, have already BRICKED OUR PHONES and cannot GET BACK INTO THEM TO ACCESS DEVELOPER OPTIONS.
see?
