Hello, I have a Tab A6 2016 (SM-T585) that won't boot with the error message "could not do normal boot, invalid kernel length"
This came out of the blue, as its completely stock.
It's not rooted so I have no clue if I can flash a new oem rom to it.
Recovery menu is not available so I can't try hard reset, only download mode is available.
I'd like to fix it so my kids and girlfriend has a spare (I currently use an old outdated lenovo)
Anyone have a solution or workaround for this issue? Or do I just drop it off at the recycling centre?

I did brick my device and was trying to find stock firmware to return to stock via odin, but couldnt find it. Finally i got it from sammobile after so many attempts. I thought some of you are looking it too. So i uploaded it to google drive and here is link.
Flash it via Odin. Its 4.0.4 so after you odin you have to update it.

Yes. To flash via odin you need download mode not recovery. I was also not able to enter on recovery but was able to enter download mode.

Here it is . For firmware use one from my link.

Hi, my tablet Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8013 is also bricked, I mean when I try to start it, it just shows the Samsung logo and then it turns off, then again the Samsung logo, and that happens always.
I followed all the steps of the link you gave with your 8013 firmware (I loaded it on the AP option) and it showed me the ''Pass'' message but after the reboot, it just shows me the ''Samsung'' logo with his ''blue'' thing flashing and then nothing happens.
What I have to do now?? I'm very sad about all of this... I did the recovery thing before that but it didn't work as well.
Thanks
EDIT: I was really desperate, but I think the final step was putting the ''recovery mode'' (Turn on/off button + volume up) and then doing the ''factory reset''.
It's solved for me... Really appreciate your help Bik
You rock man!!!

I was just about to put one of my n8013 tabs up cause I needed to go back to stock to fix screen rotation, and there is no way I will spend money at a site to basically buy something they got for free. One was so scary that it didnt even have https. I'll stick this on AFH in a bit and edit this with link. That way when google eventually shuts yours down, users can still get a safe and reliable copy of firmware for their device. Thanks again, and I certainly pushed that button for you
FYI: For users, this is 4.0.4 ICS, yeah thats old school. It works fine though, and corrected my screen rotation issue. It was probably a file in lib, but fixed now, and this is for the WiFi version of the GT-N8013. Im going to add some Custom ROM in the directory where you can download this firmware also. I have CM 10.1 thru CM 12 and Hyperdrive i believe, so enjoy and let me know if it helps you. Also have pa.gapps for most versions.

In 2019, when this tablet is almost 10 years old, I'm super thankful. The download link STILL works, although it flashed through ODIN with PASS, it didn't seem to fix my stuck logo issue.
I was stuck in a bootloop and this stock firmware fixed it. This is the only place I could find the stock firmware. Updato.com has a download cap of 80kpbs and i dont think sammobile is any better. Plus, all the links in the pins and 99% of the link in this forum to this stock firmware are broken. This link should be pinned IMO.
I'm going to bump this. This should be pinned as one of the only working downloads for stock firmware which is super handy to fix commonly bricked galaxy notes. Hopefully some poor soul won't spend hours going through hundreds of broken links to get to this one, like I had to.
as the username suggests, I am a noob at this and I have a GT-N8013EAYXAR thats been broken for a few years now... welll comes CoVID and WFH and I have some time to try to ressurect this old ToDo project... So far seems like this stock ROM image mentioned here is what I need to start with, but none of the links work ...
So if some one still has the image can you please upload it some place?
sammobile.com samsung-updates
and many others for firmware
are there updated instructions anywhere? I'm stuck in reboot hell. I can get to downloader mode. I tried flashing the stick image, and odin said passed, and on the tablet itself I saw the bar get bigger and bigger, but when that finishes and it should boot to system, it goes back to reboot hell.

I posted in here like 6 years ago and solved this issue, but now the tablet seems to have randomly bricked again and now I can't find a link for the GT N8013 stock firmware... The one I found is "KIES_HOME_N8013UEUCOI1_N8013XARCOI1_813049_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5" but it seems a little fishy.
The link on Sammobile is locked so I can't download it.

Ok that's the same one I had, so I guess it's the official one. Anyway I flashed the stock rom with Odin, but I still can't access Recovery Mode. TeamWin logo appears briefly and then the tablet goes back to the bootloop.
Regards all.
I sent my beloved Galaxy S4 Google play edition (gt-i9505g) to repair at samsung's texas facilities. The phone was having the read sim card intermitent problem.
I called google support and the transferred me to samsung as they handle the repairs for google.
There Samsung technicians repaired and replaced several parts, but in the end installed the m919 4.4 os insteads of the i9505g 5.0.1 os that was in the phone when it was sent in for the repair.
Now the phone is having problems because the incorrect os was flashed.
I have called samsung over 10 times. What happened is that samsung uses a software to flash software that does not include the gt-i9505g on the flashable devices in the US and thus they installed the wrong one based on my current carrier. Odd as it was only sold in the US by GOOGLE.
K have tried to fix this by flashing vis odin and cyanogen to no avail. Took the phone to best buy samsung experience and they had the same situatiin as the texas repair, no can do. The phone does not let me...
Google support has no clue on how to solve this for me, they say its samsung... Anf so on
Help... How can I fix this.. And insatall the right os.....
If you boot in download mode what model does it say you have? If it says that you have a m919, then they replaced the wrong motherboard for a different model.
correct board I nstalled but....
Booted in download mode the model is correct... But. It says below that write is protected... Cyanogen mod installed does not recognize the phone for what it is neither kies. I believe the board is correct but the ROM is not.
Then just flash the latest stock I9505g rom with Odin.
Thats the problem

The problem is I have tried to install it with odin and with cyanogenmod....
And can not get it installed..... I guess something that samsung did does not let me do it.
I have used Odin many times in the past and cyanogen also...
What to do?
Can you get a custom recovery on it and then try flashing a rom?

If Samsung did make an update for your phone(since it isn't rooted) it would've come via OTA to you. So it seems that Samsung didn't care to update your phone so I'm sorry but your out of luck. There is no way to update your phone officially.So the final option is to flash a custom ROM for your device which is based on a higher android version than yours preferably 4.4 or more as you stated, try googling around the internet I'm sure you'll find a solution. But be advised it comes with risks. I rooted my device but I have never flashed a custom ROM for it. But if your phone is rooted, you'll find numerous ways to customize and theme your device to match your desired android version. I was able to theme one of my Samsung devices running 4.4.2 to nearly match android marshmallow 6.0.1.......Don't give up!! There's a lot you can do to make your outdated android look totally awesome and unique

The red exclamation mark is always there. What recovery did you flash? Because if it stays on that screen, but you hold the button combination, that probably means that you flashed a incompatible recovery.
Hi all,
I've recently been gifted the note 3 n900 and rooted it. I also installed TWRP and CWM as well, and when i go to install a ROM, it does say successfully and then at reboot, it shows the samsung galaxy note 3 screen, after that it goes blank. I've to do a battery pull to get it back and then restore a backup. I've tried many ROMs and also did rooting again, still nothing.
I've been using the galaxy s4 i9500 for about 2 years now and that is rooted and i've been flashing roms on it all year long with no problem. I'm just not sure what's going with this.
I'm currently on 4.4.2 official stock as I can't do much. Lollipop has not yet come to my region i think.
Any help would be widely appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Same Issue here but I am even not getting a samsung logo or a custom rom logo.

Hi
I had this problem for a couple of days, I found out that I flashed a incompatible rom via Odin. Can you can go into fast boot mode and tell me what it says at the top? Mine said " Couldn't do normal boot " which means the rom I flashed was not supported for my device. I went to the Samsung website to download a rom that was compatible with my device, I flashed it via Odin and it worked.
Thanks
I Just got my error fixed. U need to flash your bootloader via odin

I found that flashing the Stock Lollipop Rom worked, just as mentioned above by the above post. Yes, just by updating the bootloader i think it works. I've done it by getting the Russian stock rom from sammobile (even though i'm not in Russia), works like a charm. Really love the new feel to the note 3 n900. Just need to find a way to get permissive kernel now and ites perfect.
Hi community I just need help to figure out what to do with my Tab 4 7.0 the history begins this way:
I get this Tablet already used not brand new it looked to have Android Lollipop 5.1.1 when I got it and didn't appear suspicious and lend it to one of my kids, the problem begins after some time the Tablet didn't connect to the Play Store anymore proly because my kids was trying to root it via KingoRoot or other apps to mess with some games, so after that I decided to solve the problem doing a Hard Reset but it didn't work, the tablet still can't connect to the PlayStore via RH-01 error message.
So I decided to flash it with the official stockl rom from Samsung, my BIG surprise is that this Tablet never get Lollipop 5.1.1 it didn't ever get Lollipop at all accordingly to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/links-galaxy-tab-4-official-lollipop-5-t3102844
Because my tablet is the SM-T230NU (the model accordingly to the box is SM-T230NYKAXAR) model and that model never gets LL, so I figure it out this was a modified rom? Even in the Info about the device over settings it says the model of the device i "Nexus 5" instead of Tab 4 or whatever Samsung call this device but not Nexus 5 that is a phone from LG.
So I stopped here, because I've heard it can be dangerous to Downgrade Android versions? If not what should I do? Use Odin3 and flash the rom mentioned in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/links-stock-galaxy-tab-4-firmware-t3013128
For the T230NU USA variant? Hope u can advice me about what to do and give some tips because this will be my first flash on a device.
Thanks in advance! :laugh::good:
They probably flashed a custom rom with broken GAPPS, just restore with Odin and the official rom.

By restore u mean flash it with some of the roms provided in this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab...mware-t3013128
So there's no problem if I have 5.1.1 right now and get down to 4.2 as is the official one?
