Unbrick from "nand erase all" & Odin "fail" workaround!!

This should work with most galaxy device as I got some insight from the S3 forums.
If u get the fail message like the one in the attachment picturethen ur odin is f**ck*d up and wouldn't let u flash.So download another one compatible to ur device ie original firmware for ur device install by odin then root,install mobile odin and flash the "fail" firmware(u can later change csc to this firmware and install stock recovery for updates)!!
For "nand erase all" this was tough but once u've got it, its easy.
-First download this recovery.
-enter recovery mode and do a factory reset.Then do erase cache!
-Now reboot in download mode and flash the md5 official firmware of ur choice.(note not the one that gives u "fail" error).
-ur galaxy note boot animation may be screwed but ur device will boot eventually.
Hit thanks if this saves ur day!!

So is this for all models or just 8013/10 wifi models only?
If for specific model it might be an idea to say so or you may be causing people to brick their device...

works for all models!!But u should have a stock firmware handy for ur device!!

Bricked gt-n8010

Odin flash fail

Hello,
I'm new here
My problem started when my CSC got stuck on SEE after trying to go back to stock rom from XEO ROM. My original CSC is XEH. I tried to use KIES to restore it, it flashed to the newest but my CSC hasnt changed. After that I downloaded ROM from a different regoin marked as XSG and I tried to flash it with ODIN but it failed and now I'm stuck with "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.." screen. All roms are Official. My download mode shows Secure Download: Enabled. Did I brick my phone?
Sorry for my not so perfect english
My mode is N910C with Exynos

did you put your phone in Download mode? did you unzipped the file to get the odin flashable file? go to download mode by pressing and holding volume down+home+power for 3 seconds and then let them go, if phone boots into download mode then its not bricked, you just have to download the file and unzipped, to get the Odin file, then open odin, with the phone on download mode, then click pda, search the unzipped file, and flash it, cheers

[Question] Recovery fail?

Hello guys, I am sorry If I annoyed you, but I got one question
If I tried to flash recovery via odin and it suddenly failed.. Will get my phone hard bricked? Like it's uneasy to unbrick it, also, can anyone tell me how to flash recovery via odin?
I got steps from a guy (I dont trust... he ruined my phone once):
1- Download Odin 3.xx
2- Download TWRP 3.0.2.0 for N910F (My phone)
3- Extract twrp files
4- Open odin and load TWRP files
5- Turn off phone and put in download mode
6- Start flash operation, when the phone reboots put it in recovery mode quickly
^ Will those steps work? Please someone help.

Hi TheDon772
As per TWRP installation instructions, you should be downloading a TAR file (xxxx.tar) that you should not EXTRACT it but use directly onto Odin.
Seems you should be using [ Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Qualcomm (trlte) ] right ?
Read the instructions in there ... no extraction.
Please advise.

I knew something was fishy, thanks mate!

Please help!!!!!!

Today i was trying to install the Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 on my Galaxy S5 Snapdragon via Odin, i downloaded the firmware from Sammobile, i verified that the phone model was exactly the same as named on the firmware, i place the .md5 file in the AP slot and everything was ready to go! (The phone was already plugged and in Bootloader mode, and drivers were up to date) then when finishing the flash Odin FAILS to complete the flash and the phone is left with nothing than the Download mode, i panic and try to access recovery mode but realize that there´s no recovery....I proceed to install the recovery.tar into my phone and it works, i start the phone and Samsung logo comes up, finally it loads and does al the process after you flash a Samsung phone.
Everything works just fine!...except for one thing, THERE´S NO RECOVERY!!!. The phone works perfectly but when i try to enter recovery mode, it sends me to Odin mode as it displays a message saying that failed to boot into recovery.
Please help me i don´t know what to do.
Thanks!

Just flash a custom recovery like twrp or cwm

Already did...same problem, recovery won't boot

You need to flash a pit file to complete the install correctly.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 only download mode

Hello everyone,
I have a N9005 that only goes into download mode. It doesn't go into recovery mode. When I try to put it in recovery mode, just vibrates, the screen is black and continues to restart itself, vibrating.
If I try to turn it on normaly, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 logo comes on, stayes like this for 30, seconds, restarts, vibrates twice and keeps on doing this on and on
If I take it to download mode and try to flash a new rom, Odin tells me that there is no PIT partition. I even added the PIT file, but the same, no luck
When I try to flash a rom, on the download mode screen give me different red messages
UDC START-red color
MMC reading error
I even tryed to do emergency recovery with keys, but no luck as well
Any advice?
Regards!

I will let you know how it works/if it works

You cannot install roms via download mode .
Only official firmware.
If you have flashed official firmware via Odin then try flashing TWRP recovery via Odin .
Are you flashing the correct firmware as a TAR file ??
MMC reading error is probable damaged Nand .

Yes, I am flashing the correct firmware from sammobile.
It is tar.md5
Now the phone shows me ODIN: flash read failure.
What can I do in this situation? If it is as you wrote, damaged Nand?

When I try to flaah the TWRP recovery, "there is no PIT partition"

Find 4 part firmware and flash correct PIT file /
Suggest a search on NAND fail / Nand Write fail on XDA .

Do you have any ideea where I can find the 4 part firmware?
Thanks

Sammobile /updato/samsung -updates. Alldot comms
Search this forum search google.

Have you tried using different USB cables and USB ports?
Odin will sometimes give the "PIT" error when you don't use an OEM cable.

Hey guys. Did anyone ever find the solution for this? I have the exact same problem like as in literally exactly. And I've tried the 4part repair firmware, with the pit, as wel as the combination firmware as well as the stock firmware and even tried cf auto root, boot images, twrp flashes.. Nothing! Just also keeps giving the pit error.

Reads as NAND fail , if you have followed all the advice .
