Hello,
I was trying to flash Twrp recovery in my phone using flashify. It said flash successfully and i rebooted. It starting bootlooping. I manually tried by pressing Volume up + Home+Power keys it was still doing bootloop. I tried to goto download mode by pressing Volume Down+ Home+Power keys it still kept bootlooping even USB jig didn't work. I need your valued suggestion about what to do next.
Thanks in Advance.
I have Samsung Galaxy Grand Primr G530H

Just flash your firmware from Odin using a PC, I had a similar problem in my tablet, it didn't had download mode either and that worked, try it.
When I connect it to Pc it keeps bootlooping and pc gives sound of connecting then disconnecting of hardware.

How did you flash a firmware, when your tablet didn't have download mode? What ODIN version did you use? please tell us we need your experience.

Turn off your device, keep your finger in the button until the device is off or pull off the battery, connect it to the PC and flash your firmware through Odin, at that moment I used the 3.70 i think but you can use the latest version it's fine, that should install download mode and the whole firmware if that doesn't work I'm afraid I don't know how else I can help, that's what I did and it worked

You are right I did it the same way and it worked for me too. I actually was thinking the phone was quite dead bur or wasn't, I just flashed the recovery firmware 4.4.4 Russian and if you ask me food the step by step procedure it was just like this:
1. I started the Odin 3.07 and connected my device to see is it was detected or not, my surprise the Odin catch it, and shown added and the port number was 18.
2. I just pulled out the USB cable from my laptop and loaded the BL file only to just flash the bootloader file and see what would happen, I was trying it bcz I was totally disappointed with the device i.e. Grand Prime 530H Duos. I also noticed that my device was not stable even with that black screen it used to restart after almost five minutes in that case. And I knew that in 5 minute I will just be able to flash BL file. The BL file was loaded on the Odin now and I inserted the USB cable again while keeping the vol down button pressed to my laptop when the Odin again found and connected with my device, I didnot take any more time to flash BL file.
3. As soon as i had not flashed all the SW therefore, my device didn't boot properly, and I thought it didn't work but when my device was connected to the computer I just listened the startup tone of the Android 4.4.4. From that moment I knew my device was not dead now so i had to select all four files from the recovery firmware of 4.4.4 and connect the device to odin even there was no sign of download mode, as soon i clicked the Start button i saw many things in the Odin which were good enough to see. after the firmware flashed the device got started.

Hello guys! Could you please help me with the same issue? The difference is that Odin doesn't recognize when I plug in my phone! I don't know what else to do. It's a G530H.
Thank you very much!

Is your USB cable original is it working on other devices? And are you using a USB 2.0 port, that is very much necessary, for Odin and some other hardware/software environment applications. And you also must have Samsung USB drivers installed in your PC, you can also try all this process on some other PCs

Hello!
Yes, that USB works with other phones. And even not being the original one, it was working to transfer files before this issue...
It is a USB 2.0 port, and even when I go to "Device Manage" on Windows, it doesn't show any port with an unknown device or something like that...
Thanks!

Hello, I so hope someone can help. I just updated my galaxy tab 2 7 p113 to Android 4.0.4 UEBLH2. That was done automatically from samsung. I wanted to then install the newest update to 4.1.1 jellybean. So I downloaded it from this link. http://www.trickytweaks.com/update-...ecli4-4-1-1-jelly-bean-ota-test-firmware.html. I put the official Android 4.1.1 UEBLH2 Firmware on my sdcard then held down my power and up volume and installed it. HOWEVER, it never finished installing. Went all the way to the end. Now I HAVE NO USB CONNECTION and NO BOOT UP. Just black Since I dont have usb connection I cant us oden. CAN ANYBODY PLEASE HELP? I still can put files on my micro disk card and then put sd disk in my tab and use the power button up arrow to install something but I tried installing clockwork mod but that did not work. Iam out of ideas. P.S. My tab IS NOT ROOTED. I tried updating back to and original rom 4.04 I download but that did work. Thank you.
I think you need to enter the download mode volume down+power or recovery mode volume up+power to be able to restore the tab
Try multiple times close the tab even with long pressing power then try the button combinations (press both for multiple seconds) and release to see if you could enter any mode
If you reached download mode try flashing stock firmware for your tab specific model 3113 or 3110 or 3100 via odin (install kies and reboot before)
If you reached recovery (stock) then connect with kies and choose recover firmware from kies options (near the word file in top) you should have active internet connection
You could try charging tab even for some hours before trying button cobinations
If not try to return as not rooted so warranty is goood

Yup, this should get you going again. If you can get into download mode, you should be okay. That's what Odin needs.
Download mode is volume down plus power. Then volume up
Recovery mode is volume up plus power.
I want to thank both the posters on trying to help me. I did hold down the power and download button and it went in to the download mode. HOWEVER, since I can not access usb it did not do anything. Just kept saying downloading. As I mentioned in my first post I CAN ACCESS MY SD DISK FILES by doing the power up button thing. Thats the only way I can get files on. But the DOWNLOADING down arrow just does not do anything. hmmmmmmm will keep plugging away.
I can not understand how you can not access usb, is it a lacking driver so download kies and reboot and try connect again ,also try a different usb ports (esp the rear of case) of your computer
Was usb working before the problem?
do you have cwm or stock recovery?
If cwm so download cm10 or cm9 from www.teamhacksung.org and put in usb card and flash but do a cash delete and dalvik delete afterwards not for boot loop
If stock so try stock firmware from www.samfirmware.com (register their first) and put in sd card and try to flash

I think you're misunderstanding download mode. When you get the device in download mode, connect it then to the computer, with Odin open. The only reason Odin wouldn't recognize it would be a driver issue. In that case, do as the previous poster stated. When you're in download mode, you're strictly flashing through Odin. You aren't going to see the device as a storage device on the computer. The only way your computer can interact with it at this point is Odin. Via Odin, flash the proper p3113 firmware file from sammobile/samfirmware (will be a large 600mb+ file). Once that's done, you should then be back to completely stock and healthy recovery and ROM. Reboot tab and see what happens. If it boots, and you still want to update, then make sure you get the correct ota for the base file you just flashed (that is, if you're trying to upgrade to say Jellybean). If you need more help always ask, but you should be fine. If I lived nearby I'd do it for you.
All I can say is unbelievable help here! Thank you. I am spending hours on this (plus a fortune on this new Tab 2 7). After studying up I do now understand how Odin works and how grabbing the correct firmware will do the job. HOWEVER (maybe others come across this huge roadblock) nothing can be done with out usb interaction. I DID DOWNLOAD KIES and installed it. But no matter what I do can not get any storage device listed or anything going on between tab and computer. Only thing my Tab does is when I plug it in to the computer via usb is go in to charging mode with the charging icon showing. Loading Odin does not show any connection. I have tried different computer USB plugins, 3 different computers (all I have loaded Kies on). Iam sooooooo close. If only while in the POWER BUTTON DOWN ARROW DOWNLOAD MODE and running ODIN on my computer there would be a connection I would be home free and able to flash firmware.

Once you are in download mode, connect your tab to the computer with the usb connection.....you should see a com xx number pop up in Odin in yellow reporting your device is connected thru a communication port. From there you will be able to choose the file you want as a PDA uncheck everything else...reboot...reset timer....whatever. Just make sure you have the correct firmware. There is a Odin flashback to Stock rom in the development section. Make sure it's for your device. Once you start Odin, should take about 4 mins...disconnect and hold the power button down to reboot. That's it....
Hello Everyone Again, I just want to say thank you for all of you who took the time to help. I hopefully will become knowledgeable enough to help people in the forums as I gain knowledge. I finally did find the solution. I did everything that was mentioned. And no matter what what I did with KIES drivers Samsung usb drivers, etc could not get a connection so I could us Odin to keep me back to the orgiginal 800 mb 4.04 original file. My solution was (as mentioned) I deleted all my windows drivers dealing with usb, kies, etc. Then rebooted. I notice even though I did not have a direct usb connection showing up now Odin was showing a connection! So using Odin I got to restore everything and now back to like new. Lesson learned. Hope this helps others that almost fatally brick their tablets. Thanks again for all our help

Is there any way to save my tablet if there is NO firmware out?
Im talking about the SCH I705, I followed the root guide, and it got ****ed up.
Unable to boot into recovery (it goes to Odin "could not do normal boot.")
Tablet seems unresponsive sometimes (to power on/off)
Will boot cycle occasionally

You have to reflash your tablet using ODIN. It's not that hard. Just follow the second method here (you don't need to download android SDK)
copy this in your navigator bar : rootzwiki . com/topic/37272-verizonsch-i705-root-for-all-current-firmware/ ( delete space around the dot)
Plus, your tab will be rooted.
You're welcome.
P.S : This limitation of URL is annoying as hell.

Sounds like a couple of things.
First go buy (or use) a brand new usb cable!
A buddy of mine was banning his head trying to connect recently and found his cable was for charging only. And I've had old usb cable s cause a world of frustration.
next uninstall the Samsung drivers and then reinstall them "as administrator".
then go find the full tar of the m f9 Rom not just the firmware but the full tar. its a zip extract it. open up Odin as administrator, put it in the PDA slot. then plug your device in and flash

Ok uninstall your old sammy driver and install the latest Sammy drivers 'as administrator'.
Make sure your phone is charged to at least 60%. Even if it doesn't turn on plug it in to the wall for a while and let it charge.
Don't connect it to PC yet.
HERE is the FULL system tar. All stock, kernel, recovery, ROM Modem.
Extract the zip and extract the .tar.md5.
Run Odin 'as administrator'. Place tar.md5 into PDA slot of Odin. Odin should look like this If you check on 'repartition or anything you are going to hose your phone...
With Odin open on your PC and your phone still not connected, put it into download mode - Simultaneously Press and Hold [Power][VolDn] until confirmation screen appears
Press [VolUp] to enter Download mode.
NOW plug your phone into the PC [Windows may install additional drivers; hopefully] and see if it shows up in any COM port (doesn't matter which one). If it shows up press start and let it finish. You should then have a stock MF9 working. First boot takes about 5 full earth minutes, let it go for even a little longer if necessary. If it doesn't boot after 10 earth minutes you may have to pulll the battery and then restart it but it should start.
You can then use the CF-Autoroot method to quickly root the phone. Then download goomanager and install a custom recovery and your off to the races.
Good luck.

one more silly thing to try.
After your phone is fairly well charged take out the battery for 1/2 hour or more even. I had some issues with other sammy's and doing that worked a few times; think it lets all the capicitors fully discharge on the device.
Put it back in the phone and go straight to download mode. Then start Odin and plug your phone in.
Also did you uninstall the old drivers, reboot, then install the new drivers and then reboot again before trying to connect?
I had this problem as well once. My cure was using Revo or some other advanced uninstaller to remove Samsung Kies, then I reinstalled the Samsung drivers.
However, that is only assuming that your problem is coming from your computer. Sounds like your phone's usb drivers got messed up during the flash. This seems somewhat reasonable to me, as I assume the USB drivers are in /system and the flash would disturb files there.
One other idea: be advised that Download Mode eventually times out. So, if you turn your phone on in Download Mode and leave it there for a while THEN connect it. Odin may not register it because your phone shuts off the download stream after a certain time of inactivity.
Hope this helps.
What are you guys using to unzip this image files, I downloaded like more than 10 stock files, every time I try to unzip them, it says the file is broken. I used 7zip, WinZip. My laptop has windows 7.
You should just have a .zip file that you flash via the recovery interface.

No, I'm talking about stock images that are in zip or rar files, that I need to unzip to get the the other tar.md5 files to odin, cause my phone is not working anymore. I think it might be my computer, or my internet connection. I don't know, I'm lost

NO just unzip the zip file.
Download the zip. extract the .tar.md5 file - it's a 2.10GB file after extraction named "L720VPUAMF9_L720SPTAMF9_L720VPUAMF9_HOME.tar.md5" .
Launch Odin 'as administrator' and put that ONE .tar.md5 file in the PDA slot.

I used a friend computer, and I was able to unzip the file, I think my computer is corrupting those files some how. Thanks for the help though.
Im sure you all have heard this one before. But I think mine may be alittle different. Im getting the error, System software not authorized etc. I bought it off of someone. I have odin 3.07 and it doesnt show the COM ports. I got USB drivers for samsung cellphones. I also got the stock ROM downloaded. I guess the question is, is there a way to flash this back to stock from the SD Card? I noticed this. I unplug the USB cable. The phone turns off. It does not come on unless the USB cable is hooked up. So I dont know if this means anything different. This phone has never been hooked up to this computer. It shows a Unknown Device in my device manager. Its hardware ID tag is USB\UNKNOWN. It is showing the SECURE FAIL: KERNAL. Can someone point me in the corrrect direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm guessing you when you bought it the phone booted is this correct?
If yes, what firmware is on it?
What have you done that no longer allows the phone the boot (did you flash something with Odin)?
The more info the better....

So you bought the phone and it has never booted for you?
If you have MF3 bootloader on there and someone tried to install a custom recovery it could be soft bricked.
Not sure what to suggest if you don't know what occurred to cause the phone to only go into download mode?
You could take it to best buy with a samsung experience center and have them reflash it?
The only problem with this is if you don't have MF3 bootloader, best buy will flash it and upgrade it.....
Try to Odin MDL on it first

When you mean MDL. thats the stock rom correct? I do have that. When I look at Odin, it doesnt show anything on the COM part at the top left. Like its hooked up to a com port.
What I meant by the Downloading ...... (with the driod logo guy) Im saying I can get it to do that. Im at the point where I cant get the S4 to be reconized by ODIN. I have the stock rom, odin 3.07 files. I have tried to install the samsung usb drivers....
Still no reply on how to fix this? I have no clue on what to do here. I dont know what firmware etc is on it. I bought it this way. I just want to flash it back to factory, its the att version. It only stays on when the usb is hooked up. I can get it to go into download mode. But on the computer, it doesnt show a usb device being found. I can start odin up, but nothing appears on the COM to show what com port is available. Is there anything I can do here off of a SDCard? I also need to mention that I can not hold down vol up and power and home button to get it to go into recovery mode. It flashes it fast and goes to the yellow triangle.
Anyone please.....
You need to get Odin to recognize it. Try different usb cables. Use the usb ports on the back of the computer. Try a different computer. Without knowing the firmware you're on odin may not work, but it should still recognize your device. If you're on mdl firmware Odin will work. If you're on mf3 then you're sol.
Have you tried to get into the recovery and not just the download mode?
Volume up + Home + Power - If you can get into a recovery try to do a factory reset.
If you cant get into the recovery than you'll need Odin. Sometimes (rarely) kies well affect Odin. If you have kies uninstall it and than run odin.
- Open Odin without your phone connected.
- Power on your device, go into download (Odin) mode. Volume down + home + power.
- Now plug device into your computer.
- Odin should read it, unless its MF3 firmwire.
If your phone is MF3, you may need a Samsung bestbuy rep to reflash the mf3 firmwire.

I have tried the power, vol up and home. It flashes the recovery, then goes back to the triangle. Odin, doesnt show a COM port that the phone is connected when i have it in download mode.
Also....i do appreciate you all for helping me figure this out.
Hey all, new Android user here. I just rooted my device with no problems, but it dies and I recharge it, but it just goes to the "samsung" screen, and will vibrate 3 times quickly followed by another about 1/2-1 second later, then repeat every ~15-20 seconds. I am able to run it in ODIN (download) mode. I was told I need a new rom/firmware, can someone show me how to do this without ruining my device? I didn't save a backup because I assumed I would have no problems
I have had 0 problems before this, and even after root I didn't experience a problem.
Model: SM_G530T
FYI I am a mac user so have downloads be .dmg's.
Thanks in advance! If you need more info, tell me!

pls help I want my phone back
You'll find your stock firmware on samsung-firmware.org
It'll be tar.md5 format, perfectly normal.
Add it into the AP/PDA in Odin and it'll flash fine.

teach me how to upload to odin pls
Make sure all your drivers are installed, turn your phone off, plug the USB into the computer.
Start Odin (right click, properties, run as administrator and in xp compatability mode)
Put your phone into download ode (VOLUME UP, HOME, POWER)
Plug your phone into the computer. Odin will say "added" in it'd output box.
Press the button PDA or AP (depends on version) then select the firmware you just downloaded (tar or md5).
Once loaded into Odin, press start, it'll flash everything and then restart your phone.
Let me know if you need any more help!!
Edit:
Please ensure you are flashing the correct ROM for your phone. Bad firmware or recovery images can cause some bad problems.

Is there a version of http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117 for mac? Could you give links to everything that I need to download? (I got this https://samsung-firmware.org/downlo...Mobile)/400h/TMB/G530TUVU1AOF8/G530TTMB1AOF8/) Also remember that my phone can't turn on, gets stuck at the T-Mobile part.

Not that I'm aware of, but Google is your friend, friend.
Home + Volume Down + Power, that starts your phone in download mode which Odin uses to push software.
Your phone needs to be in download mode to do anything at all with Odin.
Also, why not just spin up a virtual machine and use the windows Odin, Windows is much better for all of this sort of stuff.
somedays ago, i rooted my samsung galaxy grand prime (sm-g531f). which is processed by flash twrp via odin, & then flash supersu via twrp recovery.
after root, i erroneously add google account, so that frp lock was on. and top of that when i go to recovery mode its shown "custom binary blocked by frp".
so, solve this problem (bcoz i already solve this many time on many phone), i go to download mode, and i try to connect my phone via usb cable in pc, but everytime it say "usb device not recognized", but when my phone was switched on (before locked by frp), it also not recognized by usb but it was charging..
so, now:
*i cant switch on my phone
*cant go to recovery mode
*cant connect by usb cable
*i tried on many usb cables
*two laptops
*install/unistall samsung mobile drivers many times
but, nothing wasnt solved my problem..
if anyone also faced this problem, and solved this, please share your valuable process in this thread.. and help me...
Update-1: now i even change my phone's usb connector if anything could happen, but again my bad luck.. nothing happen, means usb not recognized..
Update-2: sorry i was offline or forgot to update my condition. I was tried to fix it via many mobile hardware technichian. And at last, i fixed my problem by change my whole motherboard. Bcoz, the all technichian told me that, it was my phone's cpu which have problem. For that, it couldn't recognize by any pc.
Do u have another samsung phone? If yes then try this connect that phone to your laptop or pc let it be recognised anf when thatd done removed the port from that phone and immediately connect your phone in download mode. This worked for me. If that doesnt work tell me ill look for another solution

This might be stupid but try it worked for many people. Boot your phone in download mode connect it to your pc open odin and without removing the cable remove the battery of your phone. Your screen wont go off , and if odin recognizes your phone put the battery back. It might not work but still give it a try

I'm having this exact problem also. I've downloaded usb drivers for Samsung, i've downloaded kies, ive tried 5 different computers and 4 different cords. No computer even recognizes it (but it does charge) and only one computer says couldn't recognize usb device.
Currently i'm stuck in the google loop of trying to login with an ID that you've previously used on this device and when i enter in the correct info it just keeps looping back to that screen, so i cant even get into the phone to debug or choose MTP connection etc.
The only reason i pulled out the grand prime and started working on it, was i rooted my s6 and s5 and i wanted to keep learning so i pulled out the grand prime and realized its powerful enough to run updated software so it doesn't have to be a paperweight anymore.
Me too I have same problem bro plz help me
FIX for FRP LOCK USB Not Working
The only way to fix that I have gotten to work is to download the stock firmware and Flash using ODIN. I had to try a few different cords but it will eventually work!! Keep trying!! I did the BL the AP the CSC and the CP, went into download mode and ONLY STOCK FIRMWARE works ok!
