how to factory restore the tab...i saw many flashing guides bt the problem is i downloa the firmware files...bt dont know where are the other files like PDA, CSC and PHONE files....plz asap...
To check your version of these files just type *#1234# in a dialer
what i mean is whn i try to flash...in the guides i saw that i have to put phone csc n pda files also...bt i got only the firmware file...i dont have these files...so where can i download them??
my system files are
PDA DDJK3
PHONE DDJJ1
CSC DDJJ1
If all you want to do is perform a Factory Restore then all you need do is either go to Settings/Privacy and where it says Personal Data select 'Factory Data Reset', or with your phone switched Off put the phone into Recovery Mode using the two button press method.
Press and hold both the Volume Up & Power button. After a brief period you should then see a menu appear with options. Now using the volume up/down keys select from the options 'Factory Restore and hit the power button'.
Your Tab will then be restored.
Well i tried that...bt the problem is i have rooted tab n i deleted many system apps which r creating for my tab now...so i want a complete firmware restore...i read guides so i think i have to flash it now...bt i m nt able to finds proper guides for it...they say in Odin first i have to select .pit file thn phone pda n csc files,..so my question is where ill get this files?
Hi, im about to flash my i5800 to 2.2, but came what i think is a simple question : the firmware rar, come with 4 md5 files,
I5800OXXJPF-CSC-MULTI-OXX.tar.md5
I5800XXJP4_PHONE.tar.md5
I5800XXJPF-REV02-Bootloader-low-CL794643.tar.md5
I5800XXJPF-REV02-PDA-CL794643.tar.md5
Well, on the tutorial, says to use the "one Package" option, should i load the PDA file on it?
thanks
No. Do not use one package option. JPF firmware released diffrently. You need to rename all 4 files to remove .md5. Then select individual files ODIN.
Do not use one package option
load individual files by pressing the BOOT, PHONE, PDA, CSC buttons.
Renaming is not required

Did you also select the bootloader? If yes, then there is a possibility of bricking?
Try the following:
1. Remove battery
2. press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds
3. Put in the battery
4. Press volume down + home + power key
This should take you to download mode. If it does, select all files one by one except bootloader. Also do not remove extension .md5. Odin will automatically check it.
Uncheck protect ops and upgrade.
If this fails, I dont have an idea. if someone else can help you it will be great else you will need to visit samsung service center. Act like you dont know anything
well wait, are you saying i should NOT use the bootloader? thanks for all the help guys, i just want to know that nothing goes wrong
so, on odin, i will put :
Boot: NONE
Phone: I5800XXJP4_PHONE.tar.md5
PDA: I5800XXJPF-REV02-PDA-CL794643.tar.md5
CSC: I5800OXXJPF-CSC-MULTI-OXX.tar.md5
EPS: None
is that right or should i put I5800XXJPF-REV02-Bootloader-low-CL794643.tar.md5 on boot option?
thanks again

There's no need to reflash the bootloader. It, however, minimizes the risk of bricking your device if you don't.
ok, really thanks, hope thats all i need to know, since there is no specifc tutorial for jpf
guys really thanks for everything, everything is running perfect, on my first attempt
thanks and screw samsung wth the official update lol!

Please the link u provided for the modem is "rar" instead of "tar" are they the same thing?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA-Developers mobile app
**Before you comment, all I need are links to guides. You don't have to tell me step for step, I wouldn't do that do ya**
So earlier this week I was tweaking some settings through 3D Toolbox and I managed to essentially kill my phone. Now whenever my phone 'boots' it will show my startup screen with its usual vibration, after which the screen will go blank and it will not boot.
I killed it by enabling kernel exceptions in partition cleaning in the 3D Toolbox app; after I rebooted my device as told, it never booted again. I'm only trying to get my device image off it so I can dump the phone and start again, keep in mind I'm still learning about the operating system so I was bound to break something lol.
I'm worried what I've done has trashed my system image and I've essentially lost what was on my phone (lets hope that isn't the case :crying if anyone knows what I've done wrong and how to fix it please help a brotha out :fingers-crossed: Also when I try to go into recovery mode I'm greeted with "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing" if that helps, as I have no idea what it means.
If you want to pull off the data, try installing TWRP, booting into TWRP, mount the data partition, and copy data to your PC.
If you don't need anything on the phone, you could use Odin to flash the latest stock ROM.

Thanks for the reply! But I'm very new to rooting and such and only touch what I know and what I need so I don't know how to go about this. If you could be so kind as to tell me the steps or to give me a guide I'd be on my way.
Thanks,

Alright I've found a TWRP for it, do I download this and load it through ODIN? I'd still need to get a backup of my device before I'd wanna load an image up, so I still need a program to do that. Any suggestions for a program like that?

Again, I have no idea what I'm doing with these, if you have a guide for stuff like this I'm all over that.
Step 2) Turn OFF your mobile and go to Download Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down + Home Buttons together for few seconds followed by Power button then proceed with volume up.
Step 3) Now open ODIN on your PC and connect your Galaxy Note 3 to your computer.
Step 4) Once your phone is successfully connected to your PC, the ID:COM box on ODIN will turn blue (or yellow) and will show the COM port number.
Step 5) Click on pda in odin (if odin 3.09 choose AP) and choose the " TWRP .tar" file.
Step 6) Tick "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" options and make sure that "Re-Partition" is unchecked
!!!!DO NOT CHECK "Nand Erase All" IN ANY WAY!!!!
Step 7) Click on Start button in ODIN window to start the flashing process. The process will take few minutes to complete.
DO NOT UNPLUG USB CABLE WHILE EXECUTING THE PROCESS, YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE!
Step 8) When the installation is completed, you read a "Reset " then a "Pass". your phone will restart

Joking... So follow all the steps written by JJEgan, except for Step 6 : DON'T tick "Auto reboot" then flash.
Step 7 : When Odin shows "Passed", unplug the phone and take off the battery for 10sec.
Step 8 : Put the battery back and directly boot to recovery (Vol+, Power, Home).

Try again but only check f reset time and flash.
When you see the word "RESET" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, use the buttons to boot into recovery.
How to root N20 (N985F/N986B/N9860)
WARNING!
Before you root your device you must be aware that
This will void warranty.
As of now you will lose Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass forever if you root once, even unrooting won't help.
There are many features stop working when you unlock bootloader other than S pay/Pass like Samsung Health, Secure Folder, Galaxy Watch pairing issue, Issue connecting old gear watch (S3 or earlier), Google Pay etc but some ROMs are patched for all these mentioned features, you can use custom ROM or patch it yourself for stock ROM. Still you may trouble using some bank apps and these may fixed by adding these apps to Magisk Hide
There may be some knox features there which you may not able to use but I can't list those as I never used. Just Google It
Patched featurs are working today when writing this, No idea if it may stop working next moment/tomorrow or later
Also to note, once you root, you can't go back to "pre-rooted" state completely. It is one way!
OTA won't work once you root device.
ROOT with caution.
You can unroot & Relock bootloader after flashing stock firmware, but still your warranty flag remain 0x1 and most of countries it still voids warranty. Also after unrooting & relocking bootloader, some knox features never work again.
How to Unlock Bootloader
Follow below four steps to ulock the bootloader
1.Enable Developer Option
Open the Settings app on your Galaxy device.
Choose About > Software Information.
Now tap on Build Number 7 times to enable the developer option.
You’ll get a message “You’re now a developer.”
Now Developer option has been enabled.
2: Enable OEM Unlock
Go to the Settings app again on your device.
Navigate to the Developer option.
Enable the toggle next to OEM Unlocking.
Tap YES to turn on the confirmation dialog box.
3: Boot Your device to Download Mode
While device is booted → Connect device to PC → Select to Restart → As soon as device screen turns off, Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down simultaneously OR In case device is powered off Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down simultaneously and connect your device to the PC via a USB Cable.
You can see the warning message on your device and release the pressed keys.
Finally, press the Volume Up key once, and you will be booted into Download Mode.
4: Unlock Bootloader
Once device booted into Download Mode, you will see option to long press Volume up to unlock bootloader,Now, press and hold the Volume Up key for a few seconds., Here, you’ll get a confirmation whether you are sure to proceed.
Use the Volume Up button to reply to the confirmation.
This will erase all the data on your device and unlock the bootloader.
Once completed, your device will automatically boot up to the OS.
Now you have successfully unlocked the bootloader
How to root
Instructions for stock non rooted ROM
Use either samfirm.js, Frija, or Samloader to download the latest firmware zip of your device directly from Samsung servers.
Unzip the firmware and copy the AP tar file to your device. It is normally named as AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5
Install Magisk apk
Press the Install button in the Magisk card
Choose “Select and Patch a File” in method, and select the AP tar file
When done, copy patched file to PC
Reboot to download mode. Open Odin on your PC, and flash magisk_patched.tar as AP, together with BL, CP, and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC because we want to wipe data) from the original firmware.
Your device should reboot automatically once Odin finished flashing. Agree to do a factory reset if asked.
Install the Magisk app you’ve already downloaded above and launch the app. It should show a dialog asking for additional setup.
Let the app do its job and automatically reboot the device. Voila!
Upgrading the OSOnce you have rooted your Samsung device, you can no longer upgrade your Android OS through OTA. To upgrade your device’s OS, you have to manually download the new firmware zip file and go through the same AP patching process written in the previous section. The only difference here is in the Odin flashing step: do NOT use the CSC tar, but instead use the HOME_CSC tar as we are performing an upgrade, not the initial install.
Important Notes
Never, ever try to restore either boot, recovery, or vbmeta partitions back to stock! You can brick your device by doing so, and the only way to recover from this is to do a full Odin restore with data wipe.
To upgrade your device with a new firmware, NEVER directly use the stock AP tar file with reasons mentioned above. Always patch AP in the Magisk app and use that instead.
Never just flash only AP, or else Odin may shrink your /data filesystem size. Flash AP + BL + CP + HOME_CSC when upgrading.
PS : It is strongly recommended to make EFS backup once you root device and save to safer place like on cloud or PC

Happy to see you here on Note 20 Ultra Dr. Ketan my bro.

Here is Patched kernel to root N986B Note20 Ultra (N986B_TH3)
Unlocking Bootloader
This is a basic step to root device. Go to settings - about phone - Software Information - tap multiple times on "Build number" - This will open developer option.
Now in settings at the end, you will have new option "Developer options" - look for OEM unlocking - Enable it.
(PS : If you don't see this option then you may need to wait up to 7 days or more to appear or may be on some operator you will get it never. Without this option you can not root your device, sorry!)
Once you have enable OEM unlock option, switch off your device and reboot to download mode.
To put device in download mode - Press Volume Up & then Press Volume Down (Keep holding both) and connect device to PC with USB cable
When device start to download mode,long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot
Now let finish setup and again enable developer options (as said above), and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and grayed out!
If it is not then you can not root device!
Once you see this option and greyed out, you are ready to flash custom binary and root your device
Installation (Flashing) custom binaries
1. Switch off the device and reboot to download mode (As said earlier) and select volume up to continue
2.Download Magisk Patched Kernel and extract on PC
Open Odin as administrator (Above downloaded Zip have included Odin)
Select Roor_N986*.tar.md5 file (you have downloaded & Extracted on PC in above instructions) for AP tab of Odin
3.From Odin option - uncheck Auto Reboot option
4.Now start flashing and wait till it finish. When you see a PASS sign on Odin, disconnect device.
Now magisk is successfully finished but yet you need to follow instructions below.
Factory reset
After disconnecting device, keep holding Vol down + Side key to exit from download mode.
Here is very important - when you see device reboot As soon as the screen turns off, immediately press Volume Up + Side Key to boot to recovery partition. continue pressing the volume up button until you see the stock recovery screen.
In the stock recovery menu, use volume buttons to navigate through menus, and the power button to select the option. Select Wipe data/factory reset to wipe the data of the device.
Select Reboot system now
The device will automatically reboot for the first time it boots. This is completely normal and done by design.After the device is booted up, do the usual initial setup. You shall see Magisk Manager in your app drawer; if not, Download Magisk Manager and manually install the APK you downloaded and continue to the next step.
Magisk Manager will ask to do additional setups. Let it do its job and the app will automatically reboot your device. (You must needed to connected to internet)
Status : Untested

Also last 3 digit of firmware is weird. Which device is this? Can you post screenshot of phone info?

What I guess, here unlocked means sim unlocked NOT bootloader.
Some people might need clarification. An "unlocked" phone is not the same as a phone with an unlockable bootloader. If it's the same pattern from the past several years of Note releases. All of the snapdragon US versions won't have the ability to have their boot loaders unlocked, therefore a root. This root method most likely applies to the non-US Exynos versions. If you live in the US, and ordered your phone through Samsung or any carrier, it will be the snapdragon version. I hope I'm proven wrong.

Here is Patched kernel to root N986B Note20 Ultra (N986B_TH3)
Unlocking Bootloader
This is a basic step to root device. Go to settings - about phone - Software Information - tap multiple times on "Build number" - This will open developer option.
Now in settings at the end, you will have new option "Developer options" - look for OEM unlocking - Enable it.
(PS : If you don't see this option then you may need to wait up to 7 days or more to appear or may be on some operator you will get it never. Without this option you can not root your device, sorry!)
Once you have enable OEM unlock option, switch off your device and reboot to download mode.
To put device in download mode - Press Volume Up & then Press Volume Down (Keep holding both) and connect device to PC with USB cable
When device start to download mode,long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot
Now let finish setup and again enable developer options (as said above), and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and grayed out!
If it is not then you can not root device!
Once you see this option and greyed out, you are ready to flash custom binary and root your device
Installation (Flashing) custom binaries
1. Switch off the device and reboot to download mode (As said earlier) and select volume up to continue
2.Download Magisk Patched Kernel and extract on PC
Open Odin as administrator (Above downloaded Zip have included Odin)
Select Roor_N986*.tar.md5 file (you have downloaded & Extracted on PC in above instructions) for AP tab of Odin
3.From Odin option - uncheck Auto Reboot option
4.Now start flashing and wait till it finish. When you see a PASS sign on Odin, disconnect device.
Now magisk is successfully finished but yet you need to follow instructions below.
Factory reset
After disconnecting device, keep holding Vol down + Side key to exit from download mode.
Here is very important - when you see device reboot As soon as the screen turns off, immediately press Volume Up + Side Key to boot to recovery partition. continue pressing the volume up button until you see the stock recovery screen.
In the stock recovery menu, use volume buttons to navigate through menus, and the power button to select the option. Select Wipe data/factory reset to wipe the data of the device.
Select Reboot system now
The device will automatically reboot for the first time it boots. This is completely normal and done by design.After the device is booted up, do the usual initial setup. You shall see Magisk Manager in your app drawer; if not, Download Magisk Manager and manually install the APK you downloaded and continue to the next step.
Magisk Manager will ask to do additional setups. Let it do its job and the app will automatically reboot your device. (You must needed to connected to internet)

If it's rooted, how do I update it?

Also have any of you signed up for beta 3.0 android 11 for the s20? Im guessing you guys have early access because the note 20 isnt even out yet.
