[Q] gt-n7100 update to latest omni rom problem

Hi,
when i arrived to the step when i need to install the rom (zip file) , in recovery got error which says:
this package is for "t03g,n7100,gt-n7100" devices this is t0lte.
i know for sure that my device is n7100.
can you help me please?
10x.

phliz recovery
could it be because i installed phliz recovery that is for lte mode and i have n7100?
the page that i downloaded from said it works for n7100,n7102,n7105, but in the file name was lte. "t0lte/philz_touch_6.07.9-t0lte.tar.md5", where it says LTE version.

Flashing a recovery explicitly for the n7100 should solve your problem. Assuming that you want use PhilZ, try this one: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n7100/philz_touch_6.15.4-n7100.zip

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,
I've tried to flash via zip the appropriate version before you replied (philz_touch_6.07.9 n7100 zip)
And again got a message that the package is for n7100 and mydevice
is t0lte.
Will your link be different?
i took it to the store for checking, and they said that they tried to install stock rom but its not booting... strange.
is this can happen because i installed a wrong recovery and did format /system ?

If you formatted /system, Android won't boot until you flash a new ROM.

I know, but I can't install a new Rom that's the problem,
It says, when I tried install n7100 4.4.2 omni Rom, that this is
A package for n7100 and my device is t0lte, I think
It says that because of the wrong recovery. Again i try to
Install new recovery via zip from the recovery itself and it says
The same error.
I gave my device to the store to check and they tried install
The stock Rom with no success via Odin..
Any help appriciated
Thanks.

Then you have to "force flash" the recovery via PC using Odin, heimdall or flashboot.

Hi,
Can you tell me exactly how to "force flash" via odin?
Step by step?
Btw, if I have omni Rom, zip file, can I use Odin?
Thanks.

In recovery, as you already know, I did format/system.
What the /system do exactly?
Is it because that I flashed recovery for the t0lte version
I get the error? Or because that from the wrong recovery
I did format/system?
I just want to know why I get this error when flashing rom: "this package is for t03g,n7100,gt -n7100 devices this device is t0lte " when
my device is n7100.
Thanks.

Use Odin/Heimdall to flash an appropriate recovery for your device.
You somehow managed to install a t0lte recovery. You need an N7100 recovery

Can't install anything with Odin

I never had problems with flashing new firmware. But yesterday I thought to flash the newest stock rom I9505XXUFNC4, and I got:
Nand write start!
Complete(Write) operation failed.
After that, I cannot boot anymore until I flash a Pit file. I also tried to install TWRP, CWM and the last rom. Nothing, nothing and nothing. Now my root is gone and my wifi doesn't work anymore.
I'm scared that when I factory reset the thing, that I can't install a new rom. Can someone 'please' advice me what to do? For example, can I install stock rom with ADB?

I would re-download the stock firmware and try again. Maybe try an older version

I downloaded it a few times. And the other version was working fine. But as you can read in my post: I can't install anything but the pit file.

So, it'll boot only of you flash the pit first in Odin?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727

When I try to flash something, I got that error. After that it's not booting anymore. 'Problem updating firmware' message. After flashing the pit, it's booting like normal.
I tried other USB ports and cable, as some people on the net ar suggesting, but that didn't worked.

Can you boot into recovery or download mode?
What recovery do you have installed?
I have a Galaxy S4 LTE-A E330SK and have had problems similar to that when trying to install an older firmware or same version on top of the version already on there. Recovery wouldn't boot, and if Android booted, everything would force close. (I like breaking my own phone just to see if I can fix it lol.)
Any time I had severe problems that would not enable me to boot or use Odin, I boot into Recovery, under Advanced, format System, Data, Cache, sdcard, media/sdcard and reboot. That erases everything (your operating system and everything on sdcard0) and if you are stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo, then you are good to go. Reboot into Download mode, connect your cable, and open Odin. (By the way I also found out you will get errors if you try to flash twice in a row without closing and reopening Odin, so keep that in mind.)
This I would consider a clean install of Android.
Now for the iffy part... Everybody says do NOT check the repartition box when you flash the new ROM. But what I do is make sure I have the correct PIT file for my firmware version. Add PIT file under PIT in Odin, add your firmware md5 file under PDA (or AP,) tick repartition, untick Auto-Reboot (my E330SK would automatically revert back to stock recovery with Auto-Reboot selected.) F Reset Time ticked, and Start. You should have no errors now.
There might be a better way without having to format those filesystems I've stated, but haven't found it. This way has always gotten me out of a sticky situation.
Keep in mind as well, I have never been able to downgrade to an older version of Android. So recommended if you try this do it with the same firmware or newer version that is currently on your phone.

Might I mention I am using CWM Recovery as well

Yeah but I tried to install a new version and tried afterwards the current version on my phone. Tried as I already stated, several things to install and the only thing I could install, was the pit file.
Yesterday I installed CMW with Heimdall method. That worked. After that I install root from within CMW with ADB. And because I got an old backup, I didn't wanna go back that far and only flashed (with ADB) boot.img. Now I got a working phone.
I really want to update to latest firmware, but I'll try after the weekend. Don't want my weekend to be headached
Anyway. Thx for your response!
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

After trying and trying and trying, finally one of the USB ports let me push the new firmware (NC9) to my phone! (with Odin). After that my sd-card was unmounting itself all the time and giving errors as filesystem not recognized and being blank. Location methods didn't work correct etc.
Yesterday I managed to flash the NC4 firmware, and all is working well now!

Device is bricked!!!!!

Please help! I'am using model SM-N900. Today, I wanted to downgrade from my 5.0 custom ROM to stock 4.4.2. I downloaded the 4.4.2 firmware and opened ODIN. I selected AP mode and selected the .tar.md5 file I extracted and it loaded it up. I booted the phone into download mode. I selected auto reboot and F. Reset time. I clicked start and it started. It went along well until it got to system.img in which it stopped and failed. Now I tried a lollipop image, and it came up with the same result. I tried flashing the TWRP image and it flashed successfully. I was able to boot into TWRP and use it. I now tried flashing a custom rom. I tried a AOSP lollipop rom, 5.0 TW rom, and a 4.4.2 TW rom and they all booted to a black screen. I'am now desperate to fix my seemingly bricked device so somebody out there, please help! Thanks in advance.

I also tried flashing a bootloader I found somewhere in XDA for the N900 and I'm still able to flash TWRP and use it and access download mode but it hasn't changed my problem.

What bootloader was you using and what one have you tried to flash
Sent from my SM-N920F using Tapatalk

I'am not sure what bootloader I was trying to use before but I was on a custom lollipop TW rom so maybe its a lollipop bootloader? I flashed the one linked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/safe-to-downgrade-ll-to-kk-sm-n900-t3016966

UPDATE
TWRP factory reset and other wipe functions except cache wip are no longer working the wipe completes with a blue error. Was it because I accidentally checked nand erase all in TWRP?

I downloaded a pit file for my device and used it along with my kitkat firmware. This time, the flash succeeded and my device booted to a message saying data is corrupt. I did a factory reset from recovery and rebooted. The device successfully booted up and now I'm up and running again and downloading all my apps and stuff. No need to swap motherboard!

What exactly does a pit file do though? When I selected it it selected the re-partition option which everybody says not to use but it was the only way my device is successfully up and running again. Why do you think flashing the .pit file along with my firmware file worked?

basically a pit file increases partition size and as yours had corrupt data the system couldn't read or rite to it so pit file allowed you to install your rom I can't believe you got away with it normally bootloader doesn't forgive but glad you sorted things

The most recent version for the A500H is 5.0.2. Are you sute you flashed the correct firmware?
You can try to flash TWRP (the odin version) via odin.

Sorry my mistake I flashed with 5.0.2, flashed with recovery file via Odin still cannot boot into recovery mode, maybe I'm doing something wrong. I have the file "TWRP_2.8.7.0_LL_ODIN.tar.md5.gz". Should i flash this with odin or should i extract this file and flash with "recovery.tar.md5"?
Thanks

Do you have the correct samsung drivers on your pc? Does odin say added when you plug in your phone?
Did you extract the zip file you downloaded from sammobile? You should flash the tar. Md5 file.

Odin says added when i connect the phone and i extracted the file i downloaded from sammobile....i flashed the recovery you gave me but still cannot boot into recovery mode, when i try i get red message ontop of the screen "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" and "Set warranty bit: recovery.. Any ideas?

I'm using ODIN v3.10.7 on Windows 10, could that be the problem?

Thats very odd. Usually if you flash new firmware everything would work fine.

Soft Brick - FAILED TO MOUNT SYSTEM - Help

Good night guys, so there's my problem:
I was on DN 0.6.1 custom ROM, TWRP 3.0.2.0 and rooted. Today, i wanted to go back to stock ROM, so, I downloaded the stock firmware throught sammobile, and tried to install it throught ODIN 3.11, but it's stopped at system.img, and remained stuck in it for a long time. so i decided to restart the phone..
Then it's showed the follow message:
firmware upgrade encountered an issue note 4. Please select recovery mode on kies and try again.
So, i tried to re-flash throught ODIN, but stucked at system.img again, after it, I downloaded KIES and tried restore it, but it's stopped at 2%.
I wasn't abble to go to recovery mode, only download mode, so, i extracted the ROM file, and flashed only the boot.img through ODIN. Now it's boot to recovery...
I wiped data/cache, but the following error showed up:
E: Failed to mount system (invalid argument).
and now i can't find a solution for it.. tried to do amost anything that i could find on the internet, but none solved my problem...
I'm wanting to flash PIT + CSC + PDA file, using the repartition option on ODIN, but i'm afraid that may brick my phone for ever...
I'm following this tutorial by now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...-t-w8-t3282641
And i need this CSC file, because my phone is the C version, could someone give me link to download it ? couldn't find in any place.
ANd there's someone who could help me ? i'm very concerned about it because i don't have money to buy another phone at the moment...
Thanks, and yes, already looked at XDA for a answer but couldn't fine any.
THANK YOU

First, thread belongs in Help section not Dev.....
Second, are you sure you downloaded the right firmware from SamMobile? If restore in TWRP works, partitions most likelyaren't jacked up.

Are you sure it's system.img not hidden.img? I ran across something after attempting ODIN flashes starting a few version back.
You need to re remove hidden.img from tar file and flash it separate. Sucks but it's been working for me.
