Hi, I'm new to this subject and the truth of z3x 've started on the wrong foot .
buy my z3x to begin working with i9500 which turn on and I went out the legend only emergency calls, my problem was from the beginning , I have installed the drivers appear correctly on windows 7 x64, when I start the tool samsung 17 I bottom of the window says , cars found (OK ) and then tells me NOT FOUND BOX but starts correctly, however, if I open the shell on the i9500 model only reached reading card found and then a number XX -XX # # # # # # -XX or something like that does not matter because I assume is the activation of the box , well I press :
1 - I configured the phone in debug and everything.
I tried using the two - S7070 UART cable connect the phone to the box and I never EVER answer by S7070 UART uart cable or any other cable, 3300k clarify that I have not since I never came in my kit installation .
3 - Connect the original cable that came with my phone direct from my notebook and lo and behold, there I recognized the phone .
4 - unlock i tried to make no changes .
5 - try to restore the network, but no change either .
the phone had version 4.3 and up and did a downgrade to version 4.2.2 with the risks that could run . to the top after making flash 4.2.2 reboot when the phone was hung on the samsung logo , but I did a cache wipe and then a wipe and factory reset the phone when everything worked correctly.
6 - I connected the phone again and I 'll take my imei NULL to try to restore a previous efs that I had saved , well if it was not the version 4.2.2 or version 4.3, do not remember.
7 - with the phone connected by direct mini usb from my notebook always pressed write efs and instead of looking at my previously saved with root explorer folder, what I did now was to search the backup files that had generated me the same z3x not know why I did this, but I selected the one that had the oldest date before I modify anything, so thought I would take the information from my imei from there, but I flatly wrong.
when the phone restart was permanently a bootloop on the logo samsung and never could get him out of there, I intnté do wipe again and nothing happened, I can enter download leisurely mode and also in cw vol up + menu + power on the notebook I listed as usb modem phone or something, but as I fail to operate any single uart cable usb mini me works, read the info when I search the phone always says PHONE NOT FOUND, not let me take any further action.
8 - now when I do a wipe I get the legend on the screen that says ...
e: failed to mount / efs (invalid argument) and stuck at the samsung logo.
no more to do or how to correct my problems to revive this phone mia agony.
could someone give me a very detailed step tutorial that can make step. do not forget that many newly started on this topic and please talk with us tomense unclear terms and cordial to answer very clearly some things that are very easy to units for us but maybe very difficult time.
please help with my UART since my box is useless without this work or am I wrong?
thank you very much.

There is no way of putting on the version : - SEK - I9500XXUBMG1 20130702160308.zip - I9500XXUBMG1_I9500OXEBME1_I9500XXUBMG1_HOME.tar.md5
and will again lower the version 4.3 to 4.2.2 to see if the version mentioned so loaded up with this file ( Clar0 ) I9500UBUAMDK_I9500UWAAMDK_CTI.zip - I9500UBUAMDK_I9500UWAAMDK_I9500UBUAMDK_HOME.tar.md5
but it says the same thing in red UNSUPPORTED VERSION . when I try to charge you the version of the post : w*w.clangsm.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=324565
not to do now , someone hand me that ? if you do a wipe after the newly installed version of course I still dicendo E: Failed To Mount / efs (invalid Argument ) Locked In And Meet The Samsung Logo .
I forgot to clarify that after the error obviously odin and text on cell unsuppoerted version , if I disconnect and try to turn me obviously goes the legend on screen with a warning symbol (Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again)

flashin DVT.xml is WRONG and most likely will hardbrick!
if you can still see the device in a fastboot devices commans then DO NOT power off
The flashing was done probably and after that the device won't turn off until now just black screen
Now the device turned off
but still open black screen
and won't open fastboot mode or recovery
I sent my tablet to warrenty service in my countery & they say it's a hardware problem
Is flashing DVT.xml could damdge the hardware and the motherboard?
no. that is bs what they told you.

it is NOT a hardware problem (is like saying that writing a file with random numbers on you usb flash will destroy it, idiotic)
it is a software problem (tho this is a 'special' software that loads from you bios chip at power on time and to distinct it among software is called 'firmware). the problem is that the software on your bios chip is not good for your tab and because of this the tab does not start (actually it starts but it will hang, i could explain why but this is not important for your objective)
to repair obviously you must 'flash' a good (compatible) software on your bios chip (same like when your tab needs a stock rom because you altered somehow the one on you emmc and no longer works properly), but the problem is that because the tab hangs right on start you have no way to interact with it using software tools (because it hangs on such an early stage not even the dnx module is loaded) and the only option available is to physically open (dismantle) the tab and program the bios with a correct version using a hardware programmer

Really Thank you for that info bro :good:
They make me confused how flashing software could damage the hardware
Now I know how to answer if they told me that's a hardware problem.

as you might guess, others had your problem too, for eg @rajan2002 (you can read from here and the next ones and maybe some other stuff will clarify for you)
They fixed the tab for me, It now with android KitKat and won't make lollipop update.
And the battery also become only 5700 mAh and the health status is unknown in every battery status app.
Note: they told me that they replaced my tab motherboard.

you can try and flash a stock kitkat rom for your model (which one?) and see if it fixes the issue (it should). remember once you flashed the kitkat rom to configure a region code (enter Contacts and type ####6020# in the search box and select a country from the list that shows). since i don't know the model i don't know what capacity your battery should be.
they changed the motherboard either because they are idiots and don't know how to reprogram a bios (and that operation is anything but difficult at a service center) either so that they can charge more (if that was the case). a similar 'mandatory' repairing requirement by replacing the mb was given to @rajan2002 (read this post and the next ones) but as you can see if you read the posts once he reprogrammed the bios all was ok (i also tested various bios files, dvt included and never had problems coming back from the hard-brick with the hw programmer).

I really think that idiots
I'll gave it a try, but is it safe to flash it with the PC flash tool.

as long as you use a known stock rom you're fine (use only flash.xml too) search in the other threads for a stock rom already reported as used by others for your model (still no indication from you on what model you have... so i guess is confidential stuff)
Sorry I forget to mention my tab model, it's Lenovo Yoga tablet 2 1050L
Phone flash tool doesn't detect the tablet on dnx mode, only detect it when it's open.
By the way I already downloaded (YT2-1050L_USR_S000225_1504220451_WW21_ROW).

i was talking about starting your tab in fastboot (droidboot) mode and when at that screen (on your tab) check the IFWI entry

I'm not sure what "IFWI" mean
but that's an image for phone flash tool
It was connected when the tablet was on,
When I turn it off, It'll be disconnected.
I tried to flash it while it open, the tool turned the tablet on fastboot mode but stuck on 0%.
Hi
I updated my Galaxy s7 edge ee to...
ModelSM-G935F
Model nameGalaxy S7 edge
CountryUnited Kingdom (EE)
VersionAndroid 6.0.1
Changelist9519568
Build dateThu, 15 Dec 2016 09:37:03 +0000
Security Patch Level2016-12-01
Product codeEVR
PDAG935FXXU1BPLJ
CSCG935FEVR1BPK5
I did this via Odin as no ota has appeared yet. Just wondering if anyone knows why s health says my device can no longer track my heart rate and there's no option for WiFi calling anymore? Any help would be very much obliged.

It sounds like there was either an issue when flashing or a problem with the firmware you have used.
I would advise using Smart Switch on your computer to force another update instead of using ODIN.
Type *#06# and make a note of your serial number then turn off the device.
Open Smart Switch on your PC (Download Here if you don't have it) then in smart switch press MORE then select 'Emergency Software Recivery and Initialization'
Put the phone into Download Mode and connect to PC and wait for drivers to install (you may get a message saying it is incompatible, ignore it).
Click on the Device Initialization tab.
Enter your device model 'SM-G935F' and press OK. Then type in your devices Serial then press OK.
Now follow all steps until device is flashed. This could fix the issue.
Hi,
My S8 is second hand, there is something wrong, i noticed it first when i try to update and it said its the latest version while actually not (attached file).

You can go to download mode to check your exact hardware model. The things in download mode can't be changed and are telling you the truth.
To go to download mode, power off your device completely and then press volume up + bixby + power button. it will ask you if you really want to continue, press yes and then look what it say by "Model Name". If you're at it already, also check the "warranty void" if its 0 or 1 (0x0 or 0x1).
To exit Donwload mode just press volume down + power button for 7 seconds.
You then can download the newest software for which ever device you have.
@jaannnis
Thank you! So in download mode, i found no phone model, instead i found carrier:xaa also the waranty void is 0x0 (no rooted). I google a little bit and found that is the USA unlocked. Also i just realised the back of my phone written model SM-G950U1. I think my hardware is USA unlocked but the firmware is hongkong (is hongkong better than usa unlocked??)
So what do you think i should? the safest way please. i have no waranty, i bought it online shop and the shop is closed.
should i flash usa unlocked firmware with odin? https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U1/XAA/download/G950U1UEU2CRB9/214007/
or hongkong? or with smart switch?
Edit update:
1. so i tried smart switch 4.1.17054_16 with device initialization, with various combination (correct uncorrect model, correct uncorrect S/N).
- With wrong sn and anything samsung model the pop up is "unable to find the serial number, model name, or IMEI on the server. Please check and try again"
- correct sn and anything samsung model except SM-G950U1, the pop up is "please check the model name and S/N, and enter them again"
- correct sn and SM-G950U1 the pop up is, " 'SM-G950U1' does not support initializing. Please contact our service center."
2. Odin 3.12.3 with SM-G950U1, 2017 december nougat. The installation failed.
hope it helps to overcome my problems. thx
I bought the diggro di03 but it was randomly disconecting from my phone ( Xiaomi running miui 9.5).
I then decided to update the firmware
I followed the guide diggro provides and used the correct firmware, however, my watch is now bricked….
I don't know, for sure, what went wrong but i suspect that i flashed it with the option:
"Usb download/readback "
instead of
"usb download/readback (DATA CARD)"
It is still detected on the software (COM3) and i can still flash firmwares onto it, but nothings seems to bring it back to life.
The only thing it does now is blink the heart sensor whenever i press the power button and when i release it.
Guide i used: http://www.chinawatchs.com/mtk-smartwatch-update-the-proper-way/
firmware : https://www.diggroapp.com/diggro-firmware/
If you know what i should do plz answer as i love the looks of the watch and would like to keep it (functioning)
Thank you reading this
