I was looking to factory reset my Tab 4 7.0 to sell, but since I've rooted it and installed TWRP, the process wasn't as simple as I'd have liked. I tried the standard Factory Reset function of TWRP, but it didn't do anything. I tried Wipe Data, still nothing. Then I did an Advanced Wipe and checked off everything, not realizing one of the options was to wipe /system. Now my Tab 4 keeps rebooting to TWRP, and the recovery also states "No OS is installed".
I'm currently downloading the new NH1 firmware from SamMobile and considering flashing it through Odin 3.09. Would this be the most effective method, considering I had no prior backup made to the tablet? Will this likely remove my root access and custom recovery? Is there a chance of tripping something like a Knox counter and bricking my device (happened once when I tried an old method to root my Note 3, Knox blocked part of the flash and left the system halfway between two OS images)
Sounds like you're on the right track with downloading the firmware off of SamMobile. I had a similar issue with my Galaxy Tab 2 and that got my tablet out of its funk.

At this point I've tried all the ROMs listed on SamMobile for my tablet and all fail to completely flash. Odin says it was fully successful, but when the tablet tries to boot, I only hear half the boot sound and then the boot animation just sits there saying Samsung with the little blue dots popping out of it, and that's it.
Are there any other types of ROMs I can flash to this system? Does it matter what version of Odin I'm using? (Tried 3.06 and 3.09, both unsuccessful)

hi i have a tab 3 7.0. why dont you try using odin 3.07 if that fails try emergency firmware recovery in kies. odin flashing of official firmware does not increase binary counter as stated by sammy tech support. but you flashing twrp does increase binary count. hope i helped.

I have successfully flashed ND9 and N2E firmwares with Odin 3.07. The NH1 firmware is corrupt when I download it. These are the Cellular South versions which I assume are the US firmwares. I did also flash the Canada versions and I couldn't tell them apart. Currently on ND9 firmware so I could get it rooted. I only have the WiFi 230NU.

this question may sound silly but have you tried to wipe data/cache after full odin firmware install?
I believe i was able to keep all my apps and data after full firmware upgrade using odin, so it isnt doing full wipe after all.
.
I rooted and installed TWRP on this device and decided I wanted to get the SM-T330NU instead. I returned the T230 and the clerk tried to factory reset the device and it booted up into TWRP - the clerk made the comment "What in the world" but did not say anything. I had tried to factory reset it before returning and it would not work either.

If you power off the device and then boot up into download mode, connect the usb to your pc and run odin you can flash the factory stock image to the device using odin and that will reset the device to stock. Replacing TWRP with the factory recovery image and everything else. You can download the stock files for the device either by searching these forums or going to sammobile. Try starting with the oldest version available and update from there. I rooted and unrooted the SM-T230NU several times using this method and had no issues. Be patient. Allow the device 5 minutes to boot up after flashing the stock. Make sure the device has 80% charge or better before starting. Leave the device connected to the PC with odin open until you see a message in odin that reads, "passed".

Just install deodexed rom from twrp
I don't think sm-t230's have Knox do they? You didn't kill your tablet just flash a stock ROM from sammobile. And you'll be a-OK

Hi,
Recently my galaxy note was in repair at samsung. After I took it with everything wiped out and android 5.1.1, I rooted and installed twrp. I was able to install an aosp rom via recovery (the unofficial cm-13).
Now I cant flash anything via Odin without getting "sw rev check fail fused 2 binary 1" and every stock rom I flash via twrp give me bootloop.

Just flash it again but use different usb ports. It is the usb ports problems.

And when it bootloops boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset. That will clear all the crap out from CM-13.
I haven't taken any OTA updates but I did flash OE1. Odin will not allow my to flash back to NK2. Every time I try it fails and the phone reads : SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1. Is there any hope for going back or am I stuck with lollipop?
have you tried going back to ncg? also go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/guide-safestrap-access-odin-t3126686 and download the NI2 flasher and try doing it with that it doesnt matter which kernel you flash

If you took the factory OTA OE1 or OG5 update you stuck with LP. You can't go back.
Okay, So I was trying to flash stock rom (4.4.2) in Odin and It failed. IT left me with the error, SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 4 > Binary 1
I get this error every time I try to flash. And I tried to do an Emergency Software Recovery and it just fails after it downloads the Update. I am able to access Android Recovery and Download Mode Aswell. I think when I tried to factory reset I deleted The whole OS. I really hope I am not out a brand new phone. I already tried to flash like 3 different stock roms from different websites same error!
Phone was Not rooted.
No Custom Rom installed.
Android 5.1.1 Was installed before.
Also, I heard that some users have been able to flash the pit and fix this, How can I find my Pit File. Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900A
SM-G950U
I did an update from CRE2 to G950USQU5CRF6 from firmware.science and so i can't seem to upgrade any further or downgrade back and follow a different upgrade path. any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried the 4 file odin flash for CRE2 and it fails with the sw rev check fail fused 5 > binary . I think i just need more recent odin files for the "U5" bootloader but i cant seem to find them anywhere that doesn't require a paid membership to download.
update:
Well i was able to flash a factory binary with v5 bootloader but still couldn't flash the normal 4 odin files that i found on updato.com for CRL1
... did a cache wipe and data wipe / factory reset was then able to flash the 4 odin files to get me up to CRL1
i probably didn't need to flash the factory binary but it is a step i took.
