Hi guys,
I am trying to re-root as Tab needs to go in to be fixed. I copied across my nandroid backup and then tried to restore it but the MD5 checksum failed :-( I had already done a factory reset and format of system and am now stuck at the Samsung Logo. I can't mount the USB storage to copy over a different ROM to get it back up and running again. I have tried to mount USB storage in CWM 4.0.4 and 5.0.2.3 but keep getting "E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)".
Is the Tablet bricked? Is there a way out of this?
Help appreciated as am getting worried....

I was able to access my SDcard from recovery using Droid Explorer (google it):
1. do not connect Tab to PC
2. start Droid Explorer on PC
3. On your Tab in CWM: mounts and storage > mount system, data, efs (I don't know if all this is necessary, but It's what I did), mount USB storage
4. Connect Tab to PC, hit refresh icon in Droid Explorer
Now you should be able to access SDcard in Droid Explorer. You can only transfer individual files though, so any folder structures must be done manually.
Failing that, if you can get into download mode:
If you can get into download mode (which you should be able to), you can just use Odin to flash a new ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167250
The ASIAN ROM (Sept.) is the most recent (don't worry it defaults to English). Also, this will wipe your SDcard, but will get everything back to working order.
Thanks SO much for getting in touch, much appreciated! Well Droid Explorer is not working......I can connect via Odin though (thank God!). How exactly do I flash a ROM with it mate? Only ever done recoveries before....
Cheers,
M

Watch the first 2-3 mins of this video to see how to operate ODIN. In the video the guy is trying to root his tab, whereas you are trying to go back to stock rom. So the bit where he chooses the pda from his zip file, you just substitute that with the pda and csc from the asian rom file using the link in the post above me.

You need to use a ROM that is specifically flash-able in Odin. Pretty much just follow the directions in the link and you should be good to go.
After that, you'll need to re-install CWM, but once you're done that, you can flash whatever ROM you want just like you're used to.

dpakrr, you are a LEGEND! I was able to get back to stock thanks to you after I thought I was screwed! I had to send the Tab back today for repair to Samsung as it is not being recognised at all by any PC I hook it up too. Not being recognised by Kies either.....you think it's a hardware fault?? I have tried three different PC's with three different OS's on them!
I flashed the stock ROM using Odin back onto it before sending it, will they be able to tell it was rooted? I noticed a flash counter on the Odin screen so wonder will that now be + 1?? I checked and Clockworkmod Recovery was gone, all that was there was the stock recovery.....

your welcome mate. im going to limerick for 3.5 months this friday and i love guinness beer so consider that a thank you to the irish lol.
hm well if you have followed the basic guidelines like turning usb debugging off, installing kies and reinstalling samsung mobile drivers and the samsung customer service has no idea whats going on then there is definitely something wrong. so yes could be a hardware fault but just seems strange.
nah the stock rom is not rooted and as you said recovery is back to stock as well, thats all the samsung guys should be worried about. dont think they'll care too much about odin flash counter etc. they will just have a look at the os on your tab and its now stock, so should be fine.

Phew Thanks for all the help man, so many good people here on XDA! I was just thinking that the machine sees the Tab when in ODIN mode but why not in Windows mode? What is the difference? Are low low level hardware drivers used for ODIN that Windows does not have access too?
By the way have a GREAT time in Limerick, it's a cool town and you will not find nicer people!

yes that is it mate. thats what i think it is, odin's got low level drivers which the OS doesnt. thats why I thought the samsung mobile drivers might help the OS identify the tab as well but that didnt work for u either did it. so the tab is probably faulty.
cheers mate, yeh look forward to having a great time in limerick

And a fault like that, is it easily fixable or would I need a new unit? If I get a repair I don't want issues with it again a few months down the line!!

I'm not sure what causes it. Could be an internal rom missing a flashed image. You were just really unlucky . This is very rare so I wouldn't worry too much

Can ROM somehow cause problems with USB recognising of my SGS4 I9505 ?
Charging is fine, but can't be recognized by PC.
Shall i try this damaged SGS4 with other ROMs flashing with custom recovery and SD card, or it can only be hardware problem, so no need to try other ROMS ?
My question is simple and i need simple answer (like yes or no). I won't explain how many threads i've checked- simply i'll tell what i've tried.
1. Dozens of cables
2. Few different laptops with different OS
3. A lot USB ports
4. Cleaning phone USB port
5. Replacing with another 2 USB boards from other SGS4
6. Hard phone cache and factory reset
7. Delete all drivers, reinstall em, also KIES, Error code i receive in device manager is 43. Tried to force Samsung drivers for this device, it accept them, but gives error code 10 - device can not start.
Phone can't be recognized in all modes. Last time it was connecting properly was when i flashed last ROM with Odin. It is STOCK rom. - I9505XXUHOB7_I9505YBTHOB7_DBT-Stock ROM Galaxy s4 and it has received several updates OTA from Samsung.
I have 2 more SGS4 which connects and works fine with all cables. They have never been flashed or rooted.
Shall i try this damaged SGS4 with other ROMs flashing with custom recovery and SD card, or it can only be hardware problem, so no need to try other ROMS ?
THANKS a lot in advance !!!

PLS ! Read 1st post !
Just need to know has ROM anything to do with USB connectivity?
So should i bang my head and search for flashing without custom recovery, root and USB connectivity !? Is there any chances to flash that way another rom, an will it fix usb connectivity ?
If ROM has NOTHING to do with usb connectivity- then i'll just leave it that way! It is simple ! But no simple answer yet

Download mode is separated from the rom. So no, the rom has nothing to do with usb connectivity while in download mode. Another rom will not fix your problems.

P.s: I'm sorry for that posts! Though i can delete my previous replies !
Hi I'm just new here and my previous phone was an iPhone so i'm not really good at doing advanced android stuff I bought a used Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910C) and the previous owner said if I would upgrade the phone I'd go to samsungmobile.com but when i opened the site It's just a bunch of marketing stuffs of Samsung. I tried the OTA update but I't didn't worked and screwed up my signal it only says "Emergency Calls Only" so i returned it to the guy i bought it from and he fixed it for free. It turns out that my phone is rooted and locked to the carried Smart (Philippines) and there was something used to unlock it that involves rooting it. I wanted to update my phone to marshmallow since 5.0.1 is so unstable but i don't want to screw it up again since i can't contact the guy again. Thanks
Hi, lemme try to help you.
First, you need
Phone with 50%+ battery, if not charge it beforehand.
A Windows PC, the original USB cable (the one that comes with the Samsung charger) -> Detach it and plug it into a physical USB port on your computer.
Download latest 6.0.1 Firmware (the first one) and Odin from here and follow Install Instructions on the same page

It depends on the method he used to unlock it. If it's OS-side you would lose that, yes. If it's imei unlock, it's permanent. Sorry I can't help you more about this, maybe someone else knows more about unlocking?
Whenever I try to connect my phone to the PC it says "USB device not recognized"
Was thinking about copying some files from the PC to the phone when suddenly it doesn't recognize it. Could it be that the micro USB port on the phone is broken somehow? All I can do right now is charge the phone. Is there something I can work around to fix it on my own or do I have to take it for the repair?
Think you need to get it to the repair. First try another USB cable. Then you can try to get it on the other rom or factors reset it to make certain how it is a USB port & not the software even actually chances for that are slim.

Well, there is no dust in the port and I don't think that it got "weared out" or something since the phone is not that old. I was trying CM 11 and then went to stock to try something out and when I wanted to copy some files to the phone the PC couldn't recognize it. And I flashed the newest firmware from Sammobile with Odin which got out September 27th and it all started after I flashed it. The worst of all I am also experiencing some weird bugs like the wallpaper turning black when I drag apps over to move them to another screen on home which is gone after I reboot the phone. So this new firmware is for sure buggy, and the worst of all I can't get to an older version because the PC can't recognize the phone anymore. Jeez this is screwed up.
EDIT: Okay a bit more digging around on my PC and I found that if I uninstall the driver in the Device Manager that has an exclamation mark when I connect my phone the "connected" sound is played on the PC and it starts installing a driver and then I get the error message. So I guess it's this stupid firmware.

Actuality forget it and use FlashFire instead it's more simple.

Did you try on another PC or with another cable? If you did my bet is that it's not software but broken USB connector on the phone (plenty of those on alk S3's including Neo's).
Best regards.

No, I didn't try it on a differrent PC yet but I will. As for this FlashFire thing, it says it's for rooted devices, and my phone right now isn't, since I can't connect it to my PC(it all happened the same day - had CM11 all worked got to stock had UI bugs and PC couldn't recognize it). Is there some way of rooting it without the PC? I tried some apps but none worked even tho some of them did before on older firmware.

If the KingRoot doesn't work I am afraid that you will have to get a little creative & use ADB over WiFi.

Puff. First of all enable adb & over tcp (wifi) in developer options.

Or use some of the apps.

http://www.androidlegend.com/how-to-use-adb-fastboot-commands-with-your-android-device/
You need to push SU bin & app along with Busybox bin (command extension).

Aww that sucks. I'm not sure what else there is you can try.
Looks like it's time to upgrade or you can replace the logic board for like 50 euro/dollars/pounds whatever your currency is but it doesn't seem worth it for a 5 year old budget device

Thanks for the support.
I remember that my cell phone only turned off then did not turn on again
it's true, I think I should buy another one. I can tell you, that the files to put it in download mode works very well,
I check it with another J500M and on 4gb not required 16GB.
Edit...
Hi Againg
Last night I tried to revive from my laptop and today I tried again from my PC and it worked.
Can use 4GB Sd Card not necessary 16GB
My phone is alive again
Attach the photos the files
