I know that the Samsung Grand 2 (SM-G7102). But I need help to flash custom ROM on a phone. This phone is still using stock ROM
If I remembered correctly, the step is :
Enable USB debugging mode -> done
Download odin -> done v 3.09
Install Samsung Driver -> done
Use USB cable that transfer data -> done, verified it can transfer data from/to computer
Get flashable TWRP -> done : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...y-grand-2-sm-g7102-unofficial-updated.3778414
Go to download mode and flash TWRP file.
On step 6, I got an error like below :
<ID:0/006> twrp 3.2.1.0.img
<ID:0/006> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/006> FAIL!

Whether you are looking to flash a custom ROM, or root your device, TWRP recovery helps a lot. Today, the latest version of TWRP recovery for Galaxy Grand 2 was released, which we’re sharing with you here along with installation guide.
With Galaxy Grand 2 TWRP recovery, you also gain the ability to create full Nandroid backup of the device, which can be sued to retore the device back to current condition, even if you flash a wrong firmware or ROM on it.
Without a doubt, TWRP is an incredible tool, and completely worth it even if you have to break warranty of your device for it, which it does.
KNOX gets tripped when you install TWRP, so know that you won’t be able to use enterprise apps that require KNOX, mostly the apps from your own company where you may be working.
Downloads
TWRP Recovery for Samsung Galaxy Grand 2: — Link | File: TWRP_ms01lte-beta2.tar (9.37 MB)
Odin PC software — Link | File: Odin3_v3.10.6.zip (1.6 MB)
→ Check the official downloads page here for the latest version of Galaxy Grand 2 TWRP available at the moment.
Supported devices
SAMSUNG GALAXY GRAND 2, model no. SM-7105
Don’t try this on Galaxy Grand 2 Duos, whose model no. is SM-7102
Don’t try on any other device whatsoever whose model no. is different than the one provided above!
Important: Check your device’s model no. on its packaging box, or in Settings > About device.
Warning: Warranty may be void of your device if you follow the procedures given on this page. You only are responsible for your device. We won’t be liable if any damage occurs to your device and/or its components. Also, this trips KNOX, meaning KNOX would stop working on your device, and thus you won’t be able to Samsung Pay, or install enterprise Apps on your device at Office.
Backup important files stored on your device before proceeding with the steps below, so that in case something goes wrong you’ll have backup of all your important files. Sometimes, Odin installation may delete everything on your device!
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1. Download Odin and TWRP recovery file from above.
Step 2. Install Galaxy Grand 2 driver (method 1 there!) first of all. Double click the .exe file of drivers to begin installation. (Not required if you have already done this.)
Step 3. Extract the Odin file. You should get this file, Odin3 v3.10.6.exe (other files could be hidden, hence not visible).
Disconnect your Galaxy Grand 2 from PC if it is connected.
Step 5. Boot Galaxy Grand 2 into download mode:
Power off your Galaxy Grand 2. Wait 6-7 seconds after screen goes off.
Press and hold the three buttons Power + Home + Volume down together until you see warning screen.
Press Volume Up to continue to download mode.
Step 6. Double click on extracted file of Odin, Odin3 v3.10.6.exe, to open the Odin window, as shown below. Be careful with Odin, and do just as said to prevent problems.
Step 7. Connect your Galaxy Grand 2 to PC now using USB cable. Odin should recognize your Galaxy Grand 2. It’s a must. When it recognizes, you will see Added!! message appearing in the Log box in bottom left, and the first box under ID:COM will also show a no. and turn its background blue. Look at the pic below.
You cannot proceed until you get the Added!! message, which confirms that Odin has recognized your device.
If you don’t get Added!! message, you need to install/re-install drivers again, and use the original cable that came with the device. Mostly, drivers are the problem (look at step 2 above).
You can try different USB ports on your PC too, btw.
Step 8. Load the TWRP recovery file into Odin. For this, click the AP button on Odin and the select the kernel’s file you downloaded above.
Step 9. Make sure Re-partition checkbox is NOT selected, under the Options tab. Don’t use PIT tab either. Go back to Log tab btw, it will show the progress when you hit start button in next step.
Step 10. Click the Start button on Odin now to start flashing the TWRP recovery on your Galaxy Grand 2. Wait till installation is finished, after which your Galaxy Grand 2 will reboot automatically. You’ll get PASS message as show below upon successful installation from Odin.
If Odin gets stuck at setup connection, then you need to do this all again. Disconnect your device, close Odin, boot device into download mode again, open Odin, and then select the file and flash it again as said above.
If you get FAIL in the top left box, then also you need to flash the file again as stated just above.
→ That’s it. Enjoy TWRP recovery on your Galaxy Grand 2!
Root Galaxy Grand 2
Now, that you have the TWRP recovery, flash the SuperSU file now to see if you gain root access.
If you need any help with this, let us know via comments below and we will try our best to help you out.

Hi folks,
Having searched the forums I couldn't find an answer.
The problem I'm getting is when I get into download mode. I see the normal green android icon but at the top there is a grey caption saying: Write protection: Enabled.
I've been trying to flash twrp custom recovery but odin tries to do it and at the end it tells me success:0 failed:0.
That's all strange enough as previosly I managed to root the s4 using chainfire's Autoroot.
Could anyone tell me why is this happening and how to jump over it and install TWRP recovery.
//edit
I didn't check before I rooted the device but now I can't access stock recovery.
Cheers.
Ps. the device is: rooted i9505 running XXUAMDC stock rom, network: Three UK.
Attached is a screenshot of what I mean.
Thank you.
Didn't the TWRP site suggest using GooManager to install if you're rooted? Maybe give that a shot.
My unbranded UK s4 also said write protection enabled however I've had no problem installing twrp recovery.
Flashed via odin after putting phone into download mode... Have twrp in pda and it's checked in the box next to it...
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium

I have the same issue. I'm stock XXUAMDE with CF-ROOT.
I haven't tried to flash TWRP but I can't boot into stock recovery.
It says 'booting recovery' in blue but then just hangs.
Have you tried using Super SU app and unrooting?
Ok.
I tried using GOOmanager, it cannot find suitable recovery for my device (which is strange as you may find it through TWRP web page).
When I choose in GOO to reboot to recovery it actually gets me to stock recovery (I still can NOT get into recovery using power+home+UP)
When i try to flash TWRP using (newly discovered via GOO) stock recovery it looks like that:
There is a broken android icon (see 1st attached file) and the text
-reboot system now
-apply update via ADB
[.....]
# MANUAL MODE #
Applying Multi-CSC
Applied the CSC-Code : H3G (btw H3G is my carrier, three UK)
Successfully applied multi-CSC
when I choose the recovery file to flash I'm getting response that E:\signature verification failed
Again everything I've done with the phone was CFroot, that is it. No custom rom etc or other playing with it.

I've got EXACTLY the same behaviour. I discovered GOO manager allowed me to boot into stock recovery.
Thanks for your interest.

If you're having problems check the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266336
It's the same method I used to root my phone and flash TWRP. (I too have write protection enabled)
write protection enabled means nothing
I have the exact same thing written on mine.
I have CF-Auto-Rooted mine AND TWRP 2.5 placed on mine, both using ODIN method.
No issues at all - both work perfectly fine.

Try using just the Vol Up+Power. Once the phone vibrates, let go of the power but keep holding the up key until you see something appear on the screen. That works on my non-rooted phone to get into recovery.
Hiya
Just for your information.
I've done factory reset, it preserved root access (which I found strange) and now I've managed to flash twrp recovery (which in my view is way too much touch sensitive )
Thanks for all the replies.

Hi All,
Just got my galaxy s4 i9505 with baseband XXUAME2. Have been trying to root this using CFROOT via odin numerous times but each time it fails. The error message includes "write operation failed" and "No PIT partion".
I have downloaded the correct PIT file and tried again but the same problem again.
I have further tried to flash pre-rooted firmware and another stock firmware but again - nothing I do seems to work.
Have tried the factory reset as well but again does not work.
Have tried flashing using motochopper method but also does not work.
Was hoping if someone could kindly extend his/her expertise - I am completely clueless at this point..
Ok for those getting the following error using Odin,
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004> Removed!!
<ID:0/004> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I was getting the same errors whenever I tried to flash anything and couldn't figure out why. Now I seem to have sorted it.
Try this.
DO NOT HAVE ODIN OPEN YET
Stop KIES on your PC if it is on.
1) Put your phone into Download mode, (Home, Vol Down, Power at same time).
2) Connect your USB to PC/Laptop and phone.
3) Press UP on your phone.
4) now, open ODIN. <---only open AFTER your have pressed UP on your phone. COM and "Added" should be showing.
5) Flash what you need to flash.
(I noticed previously when I had Odin open, then pressed UP, it would show as "Added" and a Com would show, but I would ALWAYS get the Pit error and a Red FAIL)
I have now tried this method several times on the trot, flashed CWM with success, (where as it was always failing previously), and re-flashed other ROMS with success each time.
Hope this helps others.

First time i tried to install a custom recovery on my S4 I9505 LTE. With Odin.. It didn't work..
I knew about heimdall.. And i gave that a try. And it worked perfectly. The one thing that's a bit weird.. After it first worked through heimdall. I could flash any custom recovery through Odin. But I think you should give heimdall a try..
Here is a link to how to install CWM on the cyanogenmod wiki: wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jfltexx#Installing_a_custom_recovery_on_Galaxy_S4_.28International_LTE.29 (I can't post links yet. So i just removed the http)
i flashed modern , and, it is fail, what wrong
[/url][/IMG]
my phone have this entry : "write protection : enable"
on my phone is also 'write protected- enable' but odin and cwm work fine
So I have a verizon S4 (SCH-i545), I had it rooted, saw the 4.2.2 update today and downloaded and it failed... I figured because I was rooted.
I tired to unroot today and things have gone bad. Using odin tool and following a tutorial Odin failed.
I now see:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
In the top left:
odin mode
product name: sch-i545
current bianary: samsung official
system status: official
knox kernal lock: 0x0
know warranty void: 0x0
csb-config-lsb 0x30
write protection enable
emmc burst mode enabled.
I need to just restore it with the stock firmware but apparently the one I download which was labeled "Verizon Stock 4.2.2" and not SCH-i454 must have been the wrong one.
Does anyone have a RELIABLE link for the 4.2.2 firmware? Or is there something I should be doing beyond getting a reliable file and restoring again. I just installed kies and it wont connect to the phone to do an energency firmware recovery.
Also, what is this "i9500, i9505, i9505G, i9506" that is this forum title, my s4 isnt any of those as far as I know and there isnt a i545 anywhere?
:/
Here's the Verizon S4 guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726868
i9500/i9506/i9507 are different variations of the S4 phones.
Guidelines and Prerequisites:
1. The Update Guide is only for Verizon Galaxy S4 I545, Therefore do not try to flash these files on another variant of Samsung Galaxy S4.
2. During the latest firmware installation, you may loose all your data, therefore it is recommended to Backup your phone data now.
3. Enable USB Debugging on your Verizon Galaxy S4 by going to Settings->Developers Options and Check USB Debugging.
4. Also make sure you’ve already installed Samsung USB Drivers on your PC. If you have already installed Samsung Kies then that is ok, otherwise download the drivers from the link given below in the download section.
5. This one is also important point, You should have atleast 80% Battery charged on your Galaxy S4 I545 in order to avoid uncertain shutdown during the update installation via Odin.
6. Proceed at your own risk. We shall not be responsible if during the update something goes wrong with your device. Note this is the official firmware update and has already been tested on a number of Verizon GS4 devices and is confirmed to working perfectly. Do not skip any step in the tutorial.

Dear All,
I'm in need of some urgent help. I have a S4 GT-I9500 which was running Kitkat stock 4.4.2 unrooted. I noticed the Lollipop update available OTA and so I downloaded and applied it. The installation went ok but after that the phone has just not worked. It comes to the homescreen, there comes an error stating that "An application needs and update" and below that "Requested by Google Play services". The homescreen appears on the screen for less than 5 seconds and it reboots. This goes on and on making the device really hot. There was a massive battery drain as well (from 90% to 30% within 30 mins)
Now the worst part is I hadn't even backed up any of my data. Although my photos are on my external SD, contacts are synced to google but there are some application specific data (whatsapp, few games progress, etc) that I would like to save.
Please help me out. At this point, I dont even care about the lollipop as long as I can get my phone back. I'm also open to rooting it, as my warranty period is over.
OK, I booted into recovery and wiped the cache partition too. No luck.

2. Reboot in DOWNLOAD MODE and flash via ODIN again Lollipop firmware. You will have to download it of Sammobile.com.
3. I hope this will work :highfive:

Read the step 1.:
- You will have "Advanced Wipe" on your custom recovery. Click only for wipe system, cache and dalvick cache. In TWRP is:

I haven't installed TWRP. I was only using inbuilt recovery (using volume-up, menu and power buttons) until now.
Please correct me if the below steps on installing TWRP are right:
- download latest twrp for s4 from here: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/191
- flash TWRP to my phone using ODIN 3.09 (Download the above file and flash using Odin in the PDA tab.)

1. This will void you warranty: KNOX 0x1. You dont need care if you are out of warranty.
2. The steps are you following are corrects.
Thanks. I tried it but TWRP is just not getting installed. I flashed using ODIN 3.07 and PDA, but when in restart the phone into recovery mode, it goes back to the Samsung's stock recovery and doesn't have the TWRP. Any suggestions?
Use a different USB port, and don't use a hub. Also be sure you're using the original cable, have the drivers installed, and do not have Kies installed or running.
If necessary, find a later copy of Odin. 3.09 is apparently the standard although 3.10 exists.

Right....
Now I receive the below error in ODIN:

The COM port gets detected. Also, now the boot loop is gone and is replaced by "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error.
Should I try downloading Kies now?
Kies wouldn't do you much good, as it would find Android 5.0.1 on your S4 and report that there was no update.
You may need to flash with a PIT file in order to correct this as your S4 after the Lollipop update may have had its partition information changed. If that doesn't work, you may have to bite the bullet and do a complete factory reset, which will cost you the data.

Thanks.
Meanwhile, I've tried on another PC too, same issues. "Complete (Write) operation failed." error in ODIN there as well.
PIT file flashing is next on the list, I guess. Any pointers as to how should I start?
And BTW, I don't know how I can wipe complete data, as now there is no way to access the stock recovery. Pressing the "up+menu+power" just opens the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error. The boot loop doesn't happen any more. Its just a soft brick now.
Update: I've tried flashing recovery.img (from both CWM and TWRP) using Heimdall. Both were not helpful.
Code:
C:\Heimdall Suite>heimdall.exe flash --RECOVERY recovery.img
Heimdall v1.4.0

So I was now able to flash stock 4.4.2 along with adonis.pit. This was a PASS! in Odin. However, still the device didn't boot. Stuck on the Samsung logo.
I did manage to flash CWM recovery on it and I'm now able to boot into recovery. I'll take the backup now and then try to wipe data and flash.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) is stuck at the boot screen and keeps restarting. I cant go into recovery mode. I can only go into the download mode. I tried to flash it with odin and update it with kies. But none of it works.
At the download mode screen it says:
ODIN : flash read failure
Error: There is no pit binary
Odin screen:
<ID:0/013> Odin engine v(ID:3.1101)..
<ID:0/013> File analysis..

Any help will be appreciated
Got your back.
Hey man just make sure you closed odin completely.
1. Start Kies
2.Click Tools-> Firmware upgrade and initilazation
3.Type in model of your phone for example sm-g900i which is my Australian S5 then it will ask you for your SN which is a 16 digit code serial number located on the back of your phone when you remove the battery.
Then just follow steps until it asks YOUR phone to be connected... DONT connect it yet...first put it in download mode; phone turned off; press home but, power but, and vol down bot at same time then press vol up key to enter download mode.
Connect phone; then just wait 1 hour and voila you got your phome with latest stock firmware.
Please reply to us if this worked for you as this can help new users to determine what to do.
Cheers
Sorry but English is not my first language, hope i made myself clear.
If there is anything else i can do to assist please let me know.:laugh:
Which Kies works with the S5? Because neither seem to be working
I'm having pretty much the same problem, had a bad flash and can't boot into recovery or get it detected in Kies
And I can't flash stock Marshmallow or Lollipop till I finish downloading them
Going through firmware upgrade and installation option and putting in the model just causes Kies to freeze using either version

It's alright I fixed it now, still couldn't get Kies to work
I flashed the latest version of Lollipop (no carrier) to the phone, which initially sent it into a bootloop. But that enabled recovery again so I did a data and cache wipe, flashed the same ROM from ODIN again and it worked
Hi, good afternoon, I have an SM-A205YN imported from vodafone and I want to unlock it for use in my country so I want to use a SM-A205G rom, I'm trying to flash a SM-A205G rom by odin3 v3.14.4 and I'm getting the following error: re-partition operation failed I'm on Windows 10, AMD c 60 processor with 8gb ram I've tried flashing with the "re-partition" box checked and also with the "re-partition" box unchecked, if anyone can help me I'll be forever grateful

First, before using Odin and doing other stuff, including flashing, you should unlock the bootloader. Have you followed any guide to do so, but it did not work?
The first steps are to click build number 10 times, open developer options, select OEM unlock and USB debugging, restart the phone and go to recovery mode and see if you have a bootloader unlock option...
If this does not work, you can try using the Magisk app. For this: download the app, download the firmware for you phone on the pc (which will be a .zip file), extract boot.img from it, copy that on the phone, use that file in Magisk and let the app patch it and flash with Odin (AP) the resulting patched Magisk file.
But in order to receive any help, you need to tell us exactly what step did not work for you...
By the way, unlocking the bootloader erases all data on the phone, so do a back-up beforehand.
Hi, my bootloader is already unlocked and USB debugging is enabled,I try to flash the system through odin3 but I get this error:

No, do not flash the custom rom using Odin. Flash with Odin only the TWRP (TeamWin Custom Recovery Project) on the AP. If I am not mistake, there is an official version for A20. If not, there is certainly an unofficial version. TWRP is device specific. Do not install TWRP for another device or you risk bricking your device.
After flashing TWRP, go to recovery (TWRP) and see if you can see the custom recovery file before installing anything. Also, having the device connected by usb to a pc running windows and having all samsung drivers installed, you should see on your pc the contents of your phone.
Only then, wipe dalvik, cache, data and system (=also called clean flash).
If you see a bunch of encripted folders and files in TWRP, you need to first format data, then wipe, than move the custom recovery file from pc to phone, find it in twrp and flash.
Then restart to system.
If anything happends wrong, you should have on your pc the stock rom firmaware for your specific phone. Go to bootloader and flash it with Odin to save your phone.
