Flashing questions

I actually wanted to flash the leaked Lollipop for my new Note 3 but from what I can read it's not safe just yet... i'm not rooted and can't backup my PIT. Also I read a whole lot about wifi-bugs and so on.
But coming from S5 I really want a fresh look on my Note 3 so I thought I'd flash a custom ROM.
If I understand everything correct I have to do the following:
1: Flash custom recovery with ODIN
2: Flash custom ROM from recovery
I don't need to be rooted before I flash a custom recovery with ODIN, right?
I don't care about triggering Knox. I'll just flash the Stock Lollipop when it's available.
Have I got the procedure right?

Yes you are right.
Regarding to backing up the PIT file, it is not necessary to backup the PIT file from your device. You can get a PIT file from the similar device, i.e the device with the same model name and same CSC. You can use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app to get your Model Name and CSC.

Allright, thanx!
Where do I find a PIT that matches my model?

First obtain your Model Name and CSC as I have said. Then search on Google, e.g. PIT file N9005 XME, where N9005 is Model Name, XME is CSC.

Ok! I think I´ll stick with 4.4.2 until the official Lollipop comes. Even if I succeed flashing Lollipop I don´t want to risk WiFi-problems and other bugs since I´m not rooted
May I ask where I can find Custom Recovery for Note 3 SM-N9005 32gb 4.4.2 XXUGNI4?
Best regards!

You can search for CWM or TWRP recovery...
To download correct recovery for your device, you will need Device Type and Product Name (e.g. hlte/hltexx or something like that). You can find it using the above mentioned Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app.

Thanx a million for the help! The "ThankYou-Button" has been clicked!

I must have done something wrong... Or am I missing something?
I used Odin 3.09 and started it as administrator. Everything connected fine and I selected the .tar-file (the correct one) and the procedure went ok, green across the board! The phone rebooted and still all OK. Shut of the phone and after 30 sec I booted to recovery but the stock one was still there...
Any ideas?
Edit: I found this... Do I dare to use it?

Sorry I have no idea as I'm currently on the stock recovery after upgrading to 4.4.2.
Try to google search for the solution...

I made it work. I flashed TWRP with ODIN again but I unticked AutoReboot. When the flash was done I pulled the battery and rebooted straight to recovery. Since I had the new ROM on my SD-card I could flash it straight away.
Problem solved!

The n910p is the Sprint model. You can update your firmware with Odin, just use the the sprint tar files.
If your not gonna use Sprint service, your first gonna want to make sure the sim is unlocked. Either with a paid service or some other way. There are threads at the Sprint forum for this! Search and read through them. Like GT tools. I am not very knowledgeable in this matter so ask I one of them threads.
Once you make sure your unlocked, if your using gsm service, you can pretty much flash any snapdragon Rom! All you need is to flash a Sprint kernel and correct data fix with the Rom you want.
Also Before you do anything, make a complete backup with twrp! Also make another one once you get unlocked.
The Rom you decide to install will determine which firmware you need before hand.
Once or if your already sim unlocked, and you pick a Rom out that you'd like to install, I can help.
Are you unlocked? Do you know how to use Odin? How to flash and use twrp?
What firmware are you currently on?

This thread has most of the sprint note 4 stock firmware files and Odin: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/stock-tar-odin-flashable-t3250864
Here are official USB drivers: http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...G_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.45.00.exe
Here is official Twrp 3.02: https://dl.twrp.me/trltespr/twrp-3.0.2-0-trltespr.img.tar.html This is installed from Odin!
Uninstall any Samsung software you have on pc for best results.
Download and install USB drivers to pc.
Download and unzip Odin to pc.
Download twrp.
1st thing I recommend is making a full backup.
So let's install twrp!
1. So put phone in download mode. (Turn off then hold power+vol dwn+home) then it'll prompt you to push vol up.
2. Open odin as admin.
3. Plug phone in pc USB. Odin should recognize phone.
4. In Odin. Click options, unclick auto reboot. Only 'F Reset time's should be checked. Now go back to log tab.
5. Click the AP button. And load the twrp file.
6. Click start. Do not touch pc or phone. Let it be. When the log states all threads completed. Wait 1 minute just to be safe. Unplug phone. Pull out battery. Put back in.
7. Boot into recovery. Press and hold (pwr+vol up+home)
You should now have twrp.
Goto backup and backup all partitions. If your not worried about your installed stuff, you don't need to backup 'data'.
Main thing is (boot,system,efs,modem)
Save this backup somewhere safe.

Part 2. Info!
If your just looking to install stock Rom. All you need is Odin and the stock tar file. But you select auto reboot in Odin.
You only deselect auto reboot when flashing twrp, because it won't stick.
Also once you upgrade to ok1 there is no downgrading.
If your looking to instal custom roms, you should read what firmware they recommend to have before hand. But most of them should work on most current firmware. It just depends.
In general this is what you'll do.
1. Odin the stock firmware you want. Let it boot.
2. Odin twrp.
3. Once you have twrp, flash any Rom you want for your phone.
4. Use a Sprint kernel (Ram) and data fix for international roms.
Edit. Once you upgrade your firmware, it's a good idea to make another backup of it. Especially the EFS.

Help recovering data

So I have a friend who decided to mess with his phone, of course without doing a backup, and now he's stuck in a situation that it can't boot even into recovery.
Currently all I see when booting to recovery:
Recovery Booting. . . . .
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
The phone is G900F
He has no idea what version was installed on it before.
I don't need the phone to boot, I need to recover the files on it.
Being a oneplus person myself, I'm not that familiar with samsung phones (my latest samsung was s2).
I've tried to install with odin (3.0.7 - if that matters) the following recoveries:
official twrp 2.8.7
twrp
cwm
All these recoveries showed "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message as well as the above when trying to boot into recoveries.
I've tried the official recovery as well:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/sm-g900f-stock-recovery-5-0-lollipop-t3228871
which removed the "seandroid" message, but that's all.
Not sure what I'm missing.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hmm...
I see that your friend messed up his phone very well .....
Hopefully the eMMC memory is not corrupted becuase then only motherboard replacement would be necessary.
Summarising what you wrote:
1. you flashed "official recovery 2.8.7" -> where did you get it from? 2.8.7 is the very old version!
2. you flashed unofficial TWRP very old (2014) recovery (I checked your link)
3. you flashed unofficial CWM very old (2014) recovery (I checked your link)
4. finally you flashed stock, from old OS 5.0 Lollipop recovery provided from entrusted source - nobody reported that it works in the thread.
I listed this for you in order to underline one thing - READ, READ, READ, ASK, ASK, ASK .... before flashing anything to the phone and tell it to your friend.
Le's start with flashing from ODIN ver 3.12.7 (I am using it) this version of TWRP:
twrp-3.1.1-0-klte.img.tar for G900F which is the latest official recovery:
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys5qualcomm.html
Read how to flash it with odin method (when you open the link).
Edit: Are you sure the phone is SM-G900F? Please check model number on the label under battery (inside the phone).
Edit2: When you enter odin mode check phone model version as well - it is provided by installed bootloader.

First, thank you for trying to help me!
Please see attachments:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1euC7-CoBeeUQxTGXQnPPgRE2-5VxFXLh
You can see that it is indeed g900f. I've also checked under the battery.
I've flashed the recovery you asked, however I could not find odin 3.12.7 only 3.12.10, so I've flashed with that (the odin thread on xda does not provide a link for 3.12.7 download).
You can see that it's still not booting with that recovery, it's just stuck at "booting recovery" screen.
I'm thinking perhaps it has a bad bootloader? How would you suggest to proceed?

Ok. Let's continue ... I hope (as I had very similar situation) that the phone is not hardbricked and eMMC memory is not corrupted -> I faced this on my phone and finally had to replace motherboard.
But let's be optimistic:
1. For data recovery - I don't have a silver bullet for this but I found this software: http://www.recover-android-iphone.com/recover-android/how-to-recover-data-bricked-samsung.html
It needs working odin mode so under condition that it supports s5 G900F it should be able to restore some data.
2. For unbricking - I recommend to flash via odin the latest official Samsung stock firmware dedicated to your friend's country/region:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5/SM-G900F/
You must be registered to download the software. Link for odin 3.12.7 is available on the bottom of the download page.
Just to underline - odin flash most probably (anybody please confirm that) will wipe your data so be aware of that.
Good luck.

Why a full firmware is needed? Perhaps I can flash only the parts required to get into recovery? I count mount the phone from recovery, that's why it's my priority.
I would like to know also if odin will wipe everything if flashing a full firmware?

Because it is commonly recommended way to unbrick a phone.

Perhaps, yes. But:
1. I don't exactly know what restricts your recovery to run properly. Flashing separate recovery failed.
2. You, for example, could try flashing separately one of the latest bootloaders dedicated to G900F from BL section with odin but I doubt it would help.

As far as I know yes but I am not 100% sure because I didn't try that myself on s5.

In my opinion, if odin mode works then bootloader should be OK. But as you wish -
tell me first what stock firmware will you later on trying to flash on your friends phone or in which country the phone will be operated.

Latest available Firmware version for Hong Kong is G900FZHS1CQD1 however I can't find a separate flashable bootloader for you.
Generaly, in my opinion you might try any of the latest bootloaders compatible with SM-G900F phone (here you can find a collection: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54094068&postcount=3, I am on G900FXXS1CQI4) but again:
1. I doubt it will help for entering recovery;
2. I still recommend to flash complete stock firmware to unbrick the phone.
However if you anyway decide to try with a bootloader, flash it with odin from BL section (untick auto reboot). Also turn off the phone before and after flashing and pull out battery for about 30 sec. It happens that bootloader doesn't flash properly at once even the odin says "PASS" so some people reported that they needed to repeat flashing a few times. I managed to flash bootloader at first time.

Unfortunateely the phone is not with me anymore, so I won't be able to continue testing. Thank you anyway for trying to help me! I really appreciate your help!

can i just flash this rom using odin?

I'm using same model C9008 and already applied it and using to post this reply so it's safe if you know how to do.
You can't use odin to flash custom rom because it's file is in differnet format.

Guys I have tried TWRP but it isn't working
The TWRP gives me error
So TWRP is not compatible with sm-c9008?
Any way to do TWRP
On this Variant?

I too have samsung c9 pro sm-c9008 (china variant)
only marshmellow is available yet, but sm-c9000 roms also supported,and you have the latest firmware and the international apps.
i took a smart switch backup and then flashed twrp (c9ltechn) and flash with LATEST odin then your firmware will corrupt and wont work, but you have taken your backup, then download latest SM-C9000 firmware (i recommend hong kong region, im using too) flash it and restore your samsung smart switch backup.
Now your running the international version of c9 pro. (BUT ROOTING THE PHONE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE)

Proceed at your own risk!
1. Download latest odin tool.
2. Download twrp for china variant: https://twrp.me/samsung/c9ltechn.html.
3. Flash twrp and check if stock rom is not corrupted, if not, nandroid backup.
4. Now wipe everything in the phone.
5. Download rom (nougat), SM-9000 firmware is compatible with the SM-9008 hardware (check my image attached) but download the "hong kong" region firmware. Basically your changing your Asia phone to an international phone.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-c9-pro/SM-C9000/TGY/download/C9000ZHU1BQL3/200864/
(If you want different sites... Google "samsung c9 pro hong kong nougat stock firmware" and download the sm-c9000 rom and flash it)
NOW AFTER THIS YOUR PHONES IN INTERNATIONAL STATE. DO NOT FLASH CUSTOM RECOVERY AGAIN, IT WILL SOFTBRICK!!!!
ENJOY USING YOUR NEW ROM. ? feel free to clear more doubts.

No. since your changing your rom, the rom your currently using might get corrupted after flashing the TWRP. If it doesn't get corrupted, boot to custom recovery(TWRP) and backup your current rom (BACKUP>SYSTEM).
If your rom is corrupted (when restarting your phone after flashing custom recovery(TWRP) the phone will be soft bricked) but you dont need to worry because you can flash back the new sm-c9000 rom. ?

Download the CROM.apk https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...ease/crom-service-1-0-4-android-apk-download/
Enable Developer Option by navigating to your Settings > About > Software Information > More > Build Number. You need to tap the Build Number option more than 5 times or until you get a pop-up ‘Developer Option Enabled’
Navigate to Settings > Developer Option and enable OEM Unlock
Install the downloaded CROM Services app and disable Samsung Reactivation Lock.
Run the CROM Service app and tap ‘Unlock Bootloader’.

verification failed after root s7 edge nougat (CANT ROOT MY PHONE)

Hello I have the S7 edge g935f nougat 7.0 , I flashed the twrp last version, got into twrp, flashed the SuperSU, and then after reboot said verification failed etc.. I flashed a stock rom which has the December security patch probably that's the reason why says that... I tried to flash the rom again, then flash first a dm-verify zip and then SuperSU (tried with magisk too) but nothing changed.. what to do ?

This is for Exynos
1.Turn on Odin3 and connect your phone to PC in Download Mode (hold "Power & Home & Volume -" for a while).
2.Download lastest custom recovery correctly for your model from offical TWRP website then unpack zip to get flashable *.tar file.
3.Put twrp-3.2.1-x-xxxxxx.img.tar file to "AP" tab.
4.In Options tab check only "F. Reset Time". ATTENTION: rest options must be UNCHECKED!!!
5.Press "Start" and wait till finish flashing (you will see "PASS" info as on THAT screenshot when flashing will be finished).
6.Press and hold "Power & Home & Volume -" for a while to reboot your device. Directly while phone rebooting (when display is turned off/black) press and hold "Power & Home & Volume +" till custom TWRP recovery menu shows up.
7.Go to "Wipe" menu, and swipe to right for "Factory Reset".
8.Now you can flash any zip file to your phone, so all custom ROM's & kernels & mods etc and also you can ROOT with lastest Magisk.zip or SuperSU.zip, etc.

What is equinox?

I want to flash the stock rom not a custom one because it's says you can flash any custom rom , after all steps can I flash again the stock rom ?

after i swipe right to factory reset my device says failed to mount '/data' (invaliod argument)
...done
Unable to mount storage
tried to flash the no-verify-opt-encryption zip but nothing changed ..

You need to go into TWRP straight after installing it and do the following:
Click Wipe --> Click right button that says "Format Data".
Type "yes" to continue
If that doesnt help:
How to solve problem with mounting "/data" in TWRP?
1.Flash THAT package via TWRP or go to CF-Auto-Root website, download package for your model and stock firmware on which you are/were and just flash it via Odin3

Dont know where is the problem, are you following steps correctly? Install twrp > wipe all data > flash rom > flash super SU / magisk . Also don't flash carrier firmwares, flash the correct carrier free firmware for your region IF your phone is NOT carrier locked.

Bro, then you should flash the rom through twrp ! Put rom on sd card and flash. Then flash super su. I advise you to watch video tutorials on the links i provided above.

No, i will never think that anyone has lesser knowledge than mine, i am a newbie myself. But why you wipe all internal memory ? If you want stock then only format data and cache/dalvik. Also use system less root or otherwise you will get dm verity fail error. You can also flash no verity opt encrypt to bypass this error if you don't want to use system less root.

I flashed the superman ROM which is like the stock the UI and it has more features.. but the battery is draining faster than the stock.. maybe a cpu governor can help that ?

Ofcourse, there is a whole lot of tweaking when using custom kernels/roms. But be careful, as these tweakings requires much research as it could also damage the hardware if done the wrong way. My advice still is to go back to everything stock and then root it using twrp and super su. Again, don't wipe all internal storage, only data and dalvik cache. Good luck
