Put phone in download mode, press vol down + power + home button all at the same time until the warning message appears then let go of the buttons. Finally press vol up. You can check there if reactivation lock is off or on.

Yes, I was able to get superuser working on 4.4, but when I tried to install TWRP via goomanager, something happened and I got stuck in a boot loop, I think it screwed up my recovery. I never got CWM or TWRP working so maybe I didn't actually have it successfully rooted.

That is because that file is for 4.3 and you already have the 4.4.
I checked twrp and it doesn't have an updated one for sprint 4.4 but it has a N9005 4.4 which actually worked on my phone even though I'm using a N900W8. If you want to try it out, download here.

I'll give it a shot, I don't really have anything to lose. I just bought the phone 3 days ago and I noticed I tripped a Knox 0x1 - but they said I have 30 days to return the phone so I might be able to get away with a swap....... hopefully

i am able to exit from download mode (by holding power + vol down + home), but no matter what ui try i am ONLY able to get into download mode (which is tricky because the screen that tells you to push vol up to enter DM or vol down to exit doesnt display, ill attach a picture of that.)

See my last post; I CAN exit DM, but when i boot the tablet the only thing that will accually boot is Download Mode. When i try and boot normally, or load recovery (power and Volume +) They Dont work like they dont even start to boot.
AND Nothing Has been flashed lately but i just found out that the owner of the Tab4 may have been in recovery mode and was trying to format or partition his ExtSD card and might have formatted or partitioned ALL the internal storage.

Well if so, then hope that someone will share with you the pit file

Hmmmmm. Have you tried Samsung kies? I always have Odin problems on windows 8 but never on windows 7.

KIES doesn't even detect the device

Here's a guide I found by searching to obtain pit. Someone needs to pull this from their device
1. Root+busybox+USB Debugging
2. Connect the tablet to a PC
3. Run program EFS Professional.exe
4. Go to tab Backup -> Device Filters -> select All Partitions
5. Go to a program EFS Professional directory and to look here for the new PIT-file SM-T705.pit
Ignore the T705 part. Hopefully this helps

now all i need is someone to come along and post a .pit file. ive looked everywhere online and came up with absolutly nothing.....

Need pit file also...
Found PIT file, but of course can't link it.... Someone can message me for link if they need it.

Samsung Galaxy S5. Cant flash stock rom and Update it with kies.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) is stuck at the boot screen and keeps restarting. I cant go into recovery mode. I can only go into the download mode. I tried to flash it with odin and update it with kies. But none of it works.
At the download mode screen it says:
ODIN : flash read failure
Error: There is no pit binary

Any help will be appreciated

Got your back.
Hey man just make sure you closed odin completely.
1. Start Kies
2.Click Tools-> Firmware upgrade and initilazation
3.Type in model of your phone for example sm-g900i which is my Australian S5 then it will ask you for your SN which is a 16 digit code serial number located on the back of your phone when you remove the battery.
Then just follow steps until it asks YOUR phone to be connected... DONT connect it yet...first put it in download mode; phone turned off; press home but, power but, and vol down bot at same time then press vol up key to enter download mode.
Connect phone; then just wait 1 hour and voila you got your phome with latest stock firmware.
Please reply to us if this worked for you as this can help new users to determine what to do.
Cheers
Sorry but English is not my first language, hope i made myself clear.
If there is anything else i can do to assist please let me know.:laugh:

Which Kies works with the S5? Because neither seem to be working
I'm having pretty much the same problem, had a bad flash and can't boot into recovery or get it detected in Kies
And I can't flash stock Marshmallow or Lollipop till I finish downloading them
Going through firmware upgrade and installation option and putting in the model just causes Kies to freeze using either version

Kies will automaticlly download the correct atock fw.....just use Kies lite versiom which is the one i used a couple of days ago and had exactly the same problem as you i actually had a corrupter pit file so there was no partition being found...again install and use lite kies for samsung then just dlow the steps ut should automatically download the firmware and install it into samsung at the same time you shpuld not remove the cable whatsoever during download and installation and actually make sure yu have the drivers for samsung installed and that the usb cable you are using is original....hope it works if you need a detailed guide with instalation steps let me know or heck i cpuld even help out with a video just let me know.
Hope you get it sorted and if you do please let us all know so in the furute people can see the answer.
Cheers.

It's alright I fixed it now, still couldn't get Kies to work
I flashed the latest version of Lollipop (no carrier) to the phone, which initially sent it into a bootloop. But that enabled recovery again so I did a data and cache wipe, flashed the same ROM from ODIN again and it worked

j530f recovery is not seandroid enforcing

Hi guys, I have an j5 2017 (j530f/DS), and I rooted him, but, when I tried to unroot it, and get to default rom, it gets into a boot loop with the Samsung Galaxy J5 screen, and in the left corner is says "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing"

Please help me guys... Thanks...
EDIT: I can't get into the Recovery mode, or Download Mode neither
I can't take the battery out, because is unibody tho...

Vol+ & Vol- & Power should force your phone to reboot properly.
Then with Vol- & Home & Power you should be able to enter the download mode.

Ok, I i tried to install the software again, but i get this an error has occurred while updating the device software use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC Software , I didn't found my phone, and can't add by the S/N and phone name. I got into Download mode, and i am trying to install the default firmware, but it stucks at <ID:0/003> meta-data/fota.zip ...
Any solve for this?

Which FW and client program did you use?
There's Samsung Smart Switch which allows to update to the latest firmware or Odin which requires that you download the firmware manually, e.g. from Sammobile. Downgrading to an old version may fail. I could downgrade from Lineage OS (8.x) back to stock ROM (7.1) but I could not downgrade to stock ROM 7.0. Anyhow here flashing failed immediately.
In Odin I selected all 4 files (AP, BL, CP and CSC) and had no issues. Up to now I never heard of a problem with fota.zip, so I have no clue about this issue.

I got my device to the J530FXXU1AQF5 firmware
I need to update it to J530FXXU2ARA2. *who is the actual stock rom* can i do it whithout getting any problem?

Go into DL mode and flash it (ARA2 = Security Patch Level 2018-01-01) . J530FXXU2ARB3 (Security Patch Level 2018-02-01) is more recent.
As long as you can enter the DL mode flashing will work unless you encounter an hardware error.

SM-G935T bootlop after succesful flash with odin

Hi guys, I tried to factory reset my phone by flashing the latest firmware. These are the files that I used:
AP_G935TUVSBCTA2_CL14365146_QB28658134_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5

I am a noob and I accidentally flashed the HOME_CSC file in the USERDATA section but every other file was in its place. Then after the successful flash, the phone restarted and entered a boot loop with the galaxy s7 and t-mobile logo. Also, I could't boot into recovery. It shows " recovery booting..." and stays there. After that, I tried to flash several different firmware versions but I always get errors like "fw ver check failed" and stops flashing. I only managed to reflash the first firmware again with success but the phone still doesn't boot. Does anyone know what is causing the problem? Am I using wrong firmware? can anyone help on this?

Oops! Very temperamental phone, the bootloader is locked.
You can only flash the same firmware that was on the device before you started but if not the latest G935T firmware should work.
p. s. Factory reset is an option in the settings menu, there's no need to flash new firmware.

I don't know what firmware the phone had installed before. What are my options now? I can't get into recovery menu, only download menu works. Tried already a bunch of different android 8.0 ROMs for g935t but Odin fails to install them. It only works with just one but it goes into boot loop.

If the phone is a T Mobile device you just need to install a T Mobile firmware from sammobile.
This is the latest for your device (and I'm assuming it is a G935 edge?)....

Sammobile is a little slow for non premium members

Fail (auth) means your phone is not in download mode or the firmware file is not in the correct box in Odin.
I think you may be better reading a step by step guide on how to flash firmware.
If you manage to flash and get stuck in a bootloop do the following.
1. No matter what the phone is doing just press volume down+home+power (in that sequence)
2. When the screen goes black quickly move your finger to volume up while still pressing home + power. This will boot you into recovery menu.
3. Choose "wipe cache partition" then "reboot system now"
4. Allow phone to go through the first boot up, it could take 10 minutes just leave it until you get the welcome screen.

When I press volume down+home+power it gets me to a screen says "warning: a custom o/s can cause critical problems bla bla bla..." and underneath it shows these options: 1) Volume up: continue 2) Volume Down: Cancel (restart phone) 3) Home Button: Show Barcode. If I proceed with the 1st option it goes to download mode where I flash with odin. I tried also the combination volume up+home+power with the phone witched off and it shows the message "recovery booting..." on screen with blue text but then it shows the android icon and says" installing system update, then restarts and falls into boot loop again with the samsung logo.

Yes that's fine, just keep trying to get it into recovery, it can take a few attempts for recovery to boot successfully.
The locked bootloader models are a nightmare unfortunately but there's lots of info on the forum about all the different issues and how to resolve.
Sometimes the only solution is to try flash the firmware which was there before you did anything to it eventhough there is a newer version.

I tried a lot of times already but it finally gets to a point that says "no command" with the android icon on top and if I press some times the volume up/down or home it finally gives some error messages and stuck there. It seems to me that the recovery menu is missing completely for some reason and the second problem is I don't remember which firmware version it had exactly before my attempt to flash another.

Anyone? Do I need a pit file to fix this problem?
