Hi,
Been working on this problem for a few days and getting frustrated.
I soft bricked my SM-T337A, and while reflashing the stock OS from this post using Odin, the cord disconnected from the computer.
Now the tablet won't go into download/fastboot mode so I can reinstall the OS using Odin files. I can access SD storage, however, and was wondering if anyone had a .zip recovery file for SM-T337A Lollipop. If not, does anyone know if/how it's possible to convert Odin files to a bootable .zip file?
Thanks.

I dont know whats going on, but Odin 3.09 suddenly stopped being able to view and add zip files to flash. Ive even tried repacking the zip into a tar format but odin crashes when it gets to the file verification stage. I did nothing to my files or Odin, and ive been using this for years without fail.
Im beginning to suspect it might be something to do with Windows (Im running 8.1) and it might have been some update that caused Odin to stop recognising zip files. Can someone help me out here? Odin is sitting useless in my computer now.

PC Odin DOESN'T flash zip files. It flashes tar or MD5 files.
Did you try unzipping the zip file?
If you are trying to flash a custom rom you need a custom recovery...
Oh yeah just realised I was flashing the wrong file all this while.. Haha thanks for reminding me.

I was running CM 11 until it decided not to work, so then genius me, I went in to TWRP recovery and decided to wipe EVERYTHING. I have nothing left besides download and TWRP recovery mode. I am using JOdin on my mac, but that has only ended in failure as I can neither retrieve a pit file or use one that I have downloaded as it continuously comes up as corrupt. Does anyone know how I can get a non corrupt PIT file?
Today i am update my phone to official lolipop from samsung and...
My wifi button don't work he is always grey
I know what to do but.....i don't have root permisions
For root i need to instal cwm but all computers don't recognize my phone
Now i need update.zip to flash in this stock cwm to get new cwm with install zip from sd
Or any other way to install cwm or twrp
Can anyone help me?
Download the modem files from the appropriate thread in S4 General, download a copy of Odin, and flash the modem through Odin. That should solve your problem. Then worry about rooting.
I know
Haa i know that but cant connect phone on pc
Use a PC with the correct drivers installed
problem is in my phone
ahh friends connecting problem is inside my phone no drivers and pc.Regulator of voltage Is die in my phone and he can only charge cant use USB
i need update.zip to flash recovery who have optin to install zip from sd card after this my problem is solved
Then you're going to have to get your S4 fixed before you can do anything. In order to root Android 5.x on the S4 you have to use Odin, which requires you to be connected to a PC.
Hi guys,
I had a rooted galaxy s4 I9505, which I tried to encript before selling. After 10 hours the encripting did not finish so I rebooted it and ended up with a bootloop, that I tried to foolishly solve by going to the TWRP menu and formatting the device, the OS was lost and since then I am unable to bring it back to life. I am trying to flash a new rom with jOdin because it keeps saying that the PIT file that my phone shows is corrupt, I tried different versions of jOdin and two different computers. Kies and the like are uninstalled. I tried downloading PIT files online with no luck.
Do you guys have any suggestions? I am really lost after wasting 2 days on this.
Many thanks...
Try downloading the official firmware from sammobile. And flash using odin. That should work

Thanks Soyuz4u, but Odin keeps saying that has found a corrupted file (either the PIT file or another) and does not even start flashing.
Has anyone had this problem before?
Can't you flash a rom via TWRP? I managed to soft brick my device last night with Mobile Odin. It wiped my recovery and OS. I just flashed TWRP back with normal Odin and restored my rom backup.
Have you googled to see if there is a pit file for the memory configuration of your phone?

Try a different USB cable / port. That error is related to that a lot of the time.
Thanks for the replies guys. I couldn't flash a new ROM with TWRP because it kept saying that the .md5 file could not be found, no matter what I did. I downloaded some PIT files online but did not find something specific to my phone memory config.
I'll give it a go in a Windows platform with different USB ports to see if that helps.
Thanks again!

I don't think you have any clue what you are doing.
You say you have TWRP on your device. Then download a custom rom and flash it with TWRP.
- What do you mean with .md5 file cannot be found? You never ever use a .md5 file with TWRP. You only need to flash a .zip.
- Are you running Odin in a virtual machine? That will not work. Jodin is also outdated if i'm not mistaken.
SOLVED NOW! I installed the latest Odin on WIndows and flashed the Rom with no problem. I was unaware of Odin being outdated for Mac. Thanks all for your help again.
It seems that it should be possible to make recovery SD using Odin T Flash. I was able to hard brick my phone by downgrading the firmware to 4.4.4, so would like to see if it would wake up again by SD boot. Is there a file available? I don't have another similar A500FU phone available for creating the file.
It seems that I'm not the only one who have bricked the phone by downgrading to 4.4.4 firmware. Is there any place where such a SD recovery file could been found?
