G530h showing black screen after installing the stock lollipop update

Hey guys so I think I screwed up. I was updating to lollipop stock firmware for the galaxy grand prime (g530h/ds) using odin and I forgot to enable usb debugging before starting the process. It all went well and odin gave me a 'PASSED' message but now the phone doesnt show anything after the samsung boot screen (Which shows the name of the phone and "powered by android" beneath). Also, by 'the display not showing anything', I mean that the display doesnt entirely go black, there are faded vertical bars (initially the is screen dark with faint white edges on all sides) and i can see a very faint shadow of the Android logo and a 'Downloading' caption underneath it (sometimes, not always). Also, the screen fades in and out after a few seconds. Bricked or nah? I cant get into recovery but I can still get into Download mode.
This was the firmware I installed:
G530HXXU2BOH5_G530HSER2BOH5_SER (russian) from samfirmware
and then after all this happened, I retried with this firmware but the same thing happened:
G530HXXU2BOH7_G530HODD2BOH3_INS (indian)
then after digging around on google I realized that you have to install the firmware that matches your region (csc, baseband and all that stuff I did not even understand). Now how do i tell what is the basedband, csc or whatever of my phone so that I can download the proper firmware version? Or am i screwed here? (i know i'm not well versed in the technicalities of rooting and I realize it was my mistake to not properly do research before manually installing firmware, so it would be nice if i get a positive feedback)

I am from Nepal. How long do you think will It take for me to get official update?

hi
i flashed g530h/ds with this firmware (5.0.2)
G530HXXU2BOH5_G530HSER2BOH5_G530HXXU2BOH5_HOME.tar .md5

Hay @ibrahim95: I too have something same like your problem but mine is more complex as i can't boot into download mode. And ODIN also shown PASSED massage and as did with some other samsung devices the process was like OK, but it really didn't pass and dead now.
I flashed this firmware G530HXXU2BOH7_G530HODD2BOH3_G530HXXU2BOH5_HOME.tar.md5
your experience with Grand Prime may help me, if you would like to.
I have not download mode to flash something else, neither i have recovery mode.
The screen is black with a little dim light, which indeed shows that the phone is not totally dead, I think it can be called hard brick.

Same problem with my g530fz. Any solution?

hay @MikeChannon: Thanks for creating such great forum, mostly for the Galaxy Grand Prime devices.
I have a problem with a apparently Grand Prime G530H Dous, But i highly doubt it has something else inside the casing, I mean may be this devices has been tweaked to work with other networks, OR simply it is a device from like India, Russia or China, and has been installed with a firmware that could work here in Pakistan.
And my bad luck, that i downloaded the INDIAN (G530HXXU2BOH7_G530HODD2BOH3_INS) version or lollipop to upgrade it to 5.0.2 and that screwed my device. Now it only has a light black screen, NO Download Mode, No recovery, No boot loops, Nothing at all.
Please help me.

So, guys finally I've got my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime G530H Duos running again.
I did something some people have been saying here and there but we might didn't believe them, I want to say that they were right by saying that. But the important thing is that they didn't say it well.
These kind of unbelievable things must be explained in detail. So here I am trying to make it a little detailed in plain words so that everybody may understand it.
1. I started the Odin 3.07 and connected my device to see if it was detected or not, to my surprise, 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 + home key 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. or the device. From that moment I knew my device was not dead now so i pullup the battery, put it again inside to check its status, did this almost thrice, but still the same black screen, yet i heard the startup sound everytime. Now as far as knew the phone is on but showing nothing, 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 bar which were good enough to see. after the firmware flashed the device got started.
Please press thanks button if I helped you anyway.

N900 Not Rebooting System After Flash

Hi all,
I've recently been gifted the note 3 n900 and rooted it. I also installed TWRP and CWM as well, and when i go to install a ROM, it does say successfully and then at reboot, it shows the samsung galaxy note 3 screen, after that it goes blank. I've to do a battery pull to get it back and then restore a backup. I've tried many ROMs and also did rooting again, still nothing.
I've been using the galaxy s4 i9500 for about 2 years now and that is rooted and i've been flashing roms on it all year long with no problem. I'm just not sure what's going with this.
I'm currently on 4.4.2 official stock as I can't do much. Lollipop has not yet come to my region i think.
Any help would be widely appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Same Issue here but I am even not getting a samsung logo or a custom rom logo.

Hi
I had this problem for a couple of days, I found out that I flashed a incompatible rom via Odin. Can you can go into fast boot mode and tell me what it says at the top? Mine said " Couldn't do normal boot " which means the rom I flashed was not supported for my device. I went to the Samsung website to download a rom that was compatible with my device, I flashed it via Odin and it worked.
Thanks

I Just got my error fixed. U need to flash your bootloader via odin

I found that flashing the Stock Lollipop Rom worked, just as mentioned above by the above post. Yes, just by updating the bootloader i think it works. I've done it by getting the Russian stock rom from sammobile (even though i'm not in Russia), works like a charm. Really love the new feel to the note 3 n900. Just need to find a way to get permissive kernel now and ites perfect.

Hello!
I know that reviving dead threads is not very popular but would you please tell me what you wanted to say in your post? I presume that some auto complete function garbled your text. Which revision of Samsung firmware did you flash to solve the problem?
I have exactly the same problem. Moreover, it prevents me from installing Optimized CM13 since I don't have touch in AROMA installer.

Hi Taurus,
I m not sure we got the same issue. My touchscreen become irresponsive After being Locked, either in twrp or in Android. As far as I Can remember, it Was related to custom kernel, i have to reflash à Samsung kernel. I think i Was underground jdc lollipop rom.

We have exactly the same problem, actually. It prevents me from installing a custom ROM which sucks!

Dear, I have Note 4 N-910C. This is what software is mentioned in the setting>about ( See screenshot) but in recovery it says N910S.
Now I m confused which model is this in real terms because it has very weird problem. sometime it gets into a constant reboot-loop without stop.
I have to Factory resets it through stock recovery. Its No-Rooted. Rooting and flashing the right firmware may resolve this issue i guess.
I didn't encountered any other issue except constant reboot-Loop. I also dont need rooting if this loop issue would be solved without rooting.
I m confident that you may have some solution to this.

from what i see and my experience tell me that your phone is n910s for sure 100% , its n910s with modified rom or just flashed with parts of n910c to convert it & add some language & debloat the rom from useless apps
to resolve this problem only flash the right firmware (stock ) No need to root
Or find Stable rom for N910S without restart or something
is there any other problem like battery drain or Heat too much or something else ?

No other problem faced. I rooted the device and then flashed the MIUI 8 cutom ROM. Yah, you were right. Model is N910S. But I ran into another issue after I flashed another ROM. Its IMEI is not showing by dialing *#06# as well as in setting> about. Although the IMEI which is written under battery is quite ligit which I checked through IMEI.info
I dont have EFS back type of anything. What should I do now?

this is link for the rom
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/70878/N910SKSU2DPD6_N910SSKC2DPD6_SKC/
you shoud sign in to download or you can search in the net for this rom N910SKSU2DPD6_N910SSKC2DPD6

Tab A6 Sm-t585 no charge, no boot

Hello, I have a Tab A6 2016 (SM-T585) that won't boot with the error message "could not do normal boot, invalid kernel length"
This came out of the blue, as its completely stock.
It's not rooted so I have no clue if I can flash a new oem rom to it.
Recovery menu is not available so I can't try hard reset, only download mode is available.
I'd like to fix it so my kids and girlfriend has a spare (I currently use an old outdated lenovo)
Anyone have a solution or workaround for this issue? Or do I just drop it off at the recycling centre?
