Stuck in recovery, reactivation lock is on and ODIN is failing.

I've read that I need to re-partition but I can not find the correct PIT file for my device (specifically, SM-T337A). If this is in fact what I need to do, any assistance in locating the correct PIT file would be greatly appreciated! If this is NOT what I need to do, any assistance in figuring out what IS the correct course of action is also greatly appreciated! What initially happened was I attempted to root while on 5.1.1, which I've read you can't do (clearly) so now it only boots into recovery. When I try flashing with ODIN, ODIN fails and my device says "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1".
Again, thank you in advance for any help!

did you ever find a fix for this, i have done the same thing?

No fix yet
Nope, it has been a paperweight for a while now :/

well i've got good news for you then, got it running. download the OTA 5.1.1 update and write it to a SD card then run the update from external memory in the updater...
so download the zip file and put it on a micro.sd then put the sd in your T337A and when updater starts click down to install from external memory and select the file. it take a few minutes to start working so just let it sit. (link to the download below remove spaces), if for some reason you can't download it i have the file.

Yes!!
Thanks man!!! I'm headed to work but I will definitely do this tonight!!!!

IT WORKED!!!!
Thank you so much!!!!

i did what you said and it didnt work.i put the file in my sd card and it look like it was gonna work then it reboots back to the system software not authorized by at&t...do you have another update file? i tried odin and it fails every time.so im hoping this will work... plz help me

more info
i think its because im still rooted....but how am i gonna unroot if odin fails? is there anyway to unroot from sd card? and im boot looped so i cant download apps on my sm-T337A..plz help

Please someone have pit file for t337a

If you guys were on 5.1.1 you need the LP(boot.fix). If your on the unauthorized screen boot into download mode. Open odin and flash LP(boot.zip) do not extract zip just flash in PDA slot. Now im going to post the link for it through Mega. For those that do not know what Mega is its an app from the playstore. The last time I posted a guy said this method seemed fishy because he was new to flashing and had no idea that Mega is a cloud sharing app thats free. This fix is not my work ALL CREDIT GOES TO Cocafoca.

Paranoid Android official build

Came across the official build for Paranoid Android
http://get.aospa.co/official/ivy
Have not installed or tested it yet as I'm posting this as of downloading.
Files for z5 family are up as well.

Running smoothly no app crashes or reboots. Twrp working fine.
Camera is not up to par but hopefully Sony gets this sorted in the next few months (only thing holding custom ROMs back)

How you managed to launch TWRP?

Yeah I flashed your version as Oliver's versions file hosting was down.
I was on the cm build that I couldn't get into TWRP so flashed yours and installed AOSPA, Gapps and SuperSU. All working well :good:

@LMcR92
I remember you use E6553, right?
How about sdcard?

Yeah single sim here, SD card is working fine but it needs formatted to work. You have the options to use internally or portable.

1. Extract the zip file.
2. Browse to the META-INF/com/google/android directory, and open updater-script with notepad (notepad++, ...)
3. Delete the first line: getprop("ro.product.device") == "ivy" || abort("This package is for "ivy" devices; this is a "" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "".");
4. Save, re-zip and flash via TWRP.
Good luck.

I tried it for a little time without wifi and network and it seemed a little warm on the top as usual. I didn't run any power hungry apps.

@LMcR92 when i receive the call, speaker is very low, do you?

I have tried to flash this numerous times through TWRP. I have done it on a totally clean (wiped) device. It installs, then gets through to the boot animation, after a long hang I get the starting andriod optimizing apps....and then it reboots and goes through the whole thing all over again. Any clues what I'm missing here?

Buggs!
Hello,
Double tap to wake up does not work :crying: and the stock camera looks like when i'm drunk, can someone solve this? thanks!

Wrong phone? This is for Ivy, the Z4.

For me, Wi-Fi isn't working well(some AP doesn't show up and that was for my home AP) so I couldn't use.
Others are good I think. Haven't used camera.

Verizon HTC 10 on T-Mobile

So I've spent a good hour searching these threads, and I still can't clear this up. Some people are saying the Verizon HTC 10 doesn't have band 12 at all. Others are saying it does, you just have to s-off to use it. Will my plan enable full compatibility with T-Mobile?
Here's my game plan:
Buy the HTC 10 on Craigslist
Downgrade if needed
Read this thread and hopefully figure out how to s-off with sunshine
Follow these instructions to change the CID
Download the TMUS firmware from the "No Wipe" category of this list, which I conveniently found on this forum that clearly says no CDMA devices
Leave the radios alone, since the firmware from above already contains the TMUS radios?
Reboot and cross my fingers?
Thanks everyone!

I'd just convert to us unlocked

Convertng to US Unlocked is the way to go. Works on ATT. Should work with T-Mobile

Which RUU did you use? I got mine directly from HTC's website (2.28.617.8) and received error 158. Any tips?
Edit: Also my phone is in the update mode with the picture of the phone and a green circle.... I'm afraid to power off

Also some more info - I was on 1.85.605.9 and downgraded to 1.85.605.8. Then, I used SunShine and got S-off with unlocked bootloader. Next, I tried installing HTC's RUU, which failed.
My plan was to install twrp and supersu after getting the unlocked RUU, but now I'm just stuck.
Thanks in advance

Hey! That's the exact post I was following along! Didn't even make the connection - thanks for your help so far. Anyway, I followed your guide until the part you said to download that RUU. I'm on 1.85.605.8, and the one in your link is 1.80.617.1. I was like...ehh better not downgrade, so I used the one from HTC's website. HTC actually gave me a warning (before it died) and said make sure you're updating to an equal or higher firmware. Should I be concerned about using an older one?
Also, flash twrp and supersu before or after receiving otas?
Again, thanks so much for your help! I'm trying my best to search the forums and not ask redundant questions!

Also, use magisk instead of supersu you will be able to keep safety
Net passing, and snapchat, plus get root and all the goodies. You will need a custom kernel though

I just did a plain ol factory reset, but if that still doesn't work, I'll try twrp. Here's the screenshot about the test device message... you think that has anything to do with it?

Okay so I'm asking cause better safe than sorry. When you say wipe everything... is that the normal data, cahche, and dalvik? Or am I wiping system also cause that's like... woah don't normally touch that lol

System, data, cache, internal SD....basically everything but your external SD. Once wiped, go back to the format data option. Type yes, then reboot to download mode. Run your run from there

Are you bootloader locked?

Phone bricked while rooting

So i used this guide to root my phone:
youtube. com/watch?v=AMNVruAU6do
at the end it doesnt installed spuerSU and my phone have bootloop.
then i thought maybe factory reset would help. So i did it, and now i cant acces to my phone at all.
any thoughts?

Ok, need more info,
What model GRA ???
What Build No. ?
What you have tried since?
If the phone was bootlooping how did you access "factory re-set" ?
Have you done ANY searching/reading to help yourself, not least, even my advice in the post below "P8 Stuck at Boot"?
Have you any experience in flashing this phone or even others?

model GRA-l09
Build emui 4.03
so i used SRKToolHuawei 2.0 and it installed TWRP.
then i rooted, and it went into bootloop. So by this program i enterd TWPR again and did factory reset.
and i tried to reload lastest patch but i got "waiting for device", and its not moving from there.
only used kingroot to root another phone. and i tried looking on other forums for solution but nothing helped.

Have you tried downloading an official ROM, say B999, and putting the "update.app" into a folder on SD card named Dload and rebooting while holding all three buttons?
Have you read my advice here? :-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p8/help/huawei-p8-l09-bootloop-trying-to-root-t3695022

ohhhh i will try this option, but first need to get another phone so i can put things on sd card ;/

So i continued to root installed supersu and now my phone is working, but still i dont have root, and i cant find super su app. Anyway thx for help <3

@krullol
If using B399 you MUST use the latest versions of TWRP and SU.
Just follow the instructions in post #1,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...4-0-1-t3431249
TO THE LETTER, using these linked to files (TWRP and SuperSU) and, hey presto, a fully rooted P8.

If you're really stuck, the best way to get it working again is connecting the phone in download mode to a PC/Mac and restore it with Smart Switch, so you don't risk downloading a wrong/corrupted image for Odin

PLEASE, BEFORE POSTING THIS KIND OF ANSWERS HERE, READ THE QUESTION THREE TIMES AND USE YOUR BRAIN, OR YOU'LL ONLY CAUSE DAMAGES.
What I see there is a .tar image for J530, not J500 (J530 is 2017 model, J500 is 2015). He wants to get the phone working again, not completely bricked because he flashed an image for another device.
