I tried rooting my tablet and I'm using arch linux on my computer, so I had to use Heimdall and Jodin to root it. I got the Heimdall to say "flashed succesfully", but I still didn't have twrp on my tablet.
Then I found Jodin and tried to use that to flash twrp on my tablet, but I really didn't got it to work. It usually said failed, because tablet would disconnect during the flash and reconnect right after.
Right now the tablet is stuck in "bootloop" it just boot's into the black screen where it says "Samsung galaxy tab a etc.". I can boot into download mode, but I really don't know how to fix this. When I boot into download mode, both jodin and heimdall detects the phone. Any tips how to fix this?
Try go to download mode by mtp from windows or micro USB with resistance
If you want to download twrp for root so you can make root with out it
Just by eftus and flash file from site or magisk apk with AP file same ver on your phone
I guess I wrote pretty confusing post. I can go to download mode, but not boot to the android. Right know I got it saying "could not do normal boot invalid kernel length"
Jodin says this when trying to flash:
<ID:0/008> Added!!Device Connected
Device Removed

Hi!
I have tried to flash unlocked bootloader V3 from civato's guide, and I could not pass step 6 (flashing bootloader with nvflash or blacthund3r's tool). None of this method didn't work (Nvflasher didn't flash anything, and blackthunder tool was stuck at formating some partition (can't remeber which one).
Last successful step was flashing ICS rom (full leaked version of 1.031.00).
After that I could boot up, and rom worked all fine.
But, after that, I got my self in trouble.... I pressed Vol- & PWR, tablet did his thing, and when reeboted, I got stuck in Acer logo screen with red writing "Boot verified failed"
I understand that I have messed boot somehow... And to fix this i have to flash new bootloader through nvflash and apx mode. I tried to put update.zip on sd card, but it didn't helped (I still get boot verified failed)
Here, I got another problem. When I have connected tablet in apx mod to pc, i got message "driver not installed". Now, in devices I have "unspecified APX device".
BTW, adb doesn't see my device?!
I hope that You guys can help me with these problems, so that my tablet is operational an running again.
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem but I can not find the v3 bl and CWM Recovery Package to flash with the apx flash utility. If you find them let me know.
This what you have do:
Your recovery is borked so u have to put a new one on there, the best way to
go about doing this is to:
Download the V3 AND CWM Recovery package and apxFlash that.....Done!!
your need to flash the WHOLE PACKAGE b/c ARI reports yr BL as plain old stock
You cannot replace the failed recovery with CWM with the plain old stock BL!!
You have to flash the patched BL as well, so again
You must flash the whole pckg just like in the guide OK
if later u want the stock recovery back u can use ARI to do that but after the apxflash!!!
Thanks for your replay! I'l try to do this and hope it will work...
By "WHOLE PACKAGE" you mean unlocked bootloader and CWM? Or, something else?
Check this thread for V3 and CWM.
boot verified
Yes "WHOLE PACKAGE" unlocked bootloader and CWM
The tread you sent me I do not know how to use the nvflash never works for me.
I have been trying for 3 days and no luck.
Let me know if it works for you or how you make out

Hi!
Yes, I have dl the drivers from Acer site and installed them. But pc only recognize tab in APX mode. And adb doesn't see my tab.
Every method that I have tried (APX flash tool and nvflash) hangs at some part. APX flash tool hangs at "Flashing bootloader EBT - stage two, and nvflash hangs at formating partition 4.
Hi, I´m having similar troubles to get acer drivers working on windows 7 32. I installed newest acer web drivers, ADB works OK. When I get to apx mode I need to manually point to drivers, I have an APX driver with a sign and turns to Acer Picasso USB Boot-recovery driver. The problem is that not any of the tools sees this as a connected tablet in apx mode (afterota or apxflash).
I am doing something wrong? I know a500manager shows me the tablet is in apx mode "please install drivers" when i get APX driver with Sign, after installing the driver manually it just doesn´t show connected anymore.
thanks

Download and install the Google USB drivers.
Google.... Android USB Drivers, and you should get the page for the Android SDK with google drivers.
In Apx mode, go to device manager on your PC, and manually install the drivers. Don't let it search automatically, do it manually. If you get a compatibility warning, ignore it.
Should hook you up with normal, ADB and APX drivers.

THANKS FOR NOT TELLING US HOW YOU SOLVED IT:good::good::good::good:
Today i was trying to install the Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 on my Galaxy S5 Snapdragon via Odin, i downloaded the firmware from Sammobile, i verified that the phone model was exactly the same as named on the firmware, i place the .md5 file in the AP slot and everything was ready to go! (The phone was already plugged and in Bootloader mode, and drivers were up to date) then when finishing the flash Odin FAILS to complete the flash and the phone is left with nothing than the Download mode, i panic and try to access recovery mode but realize that there´s no recovery....I proceed to install the recovery.tar into my phone and it works, i start the phone and Samsung logo comes up, finally it loads and does al the process after you flash a Samsung phone.
Everything works just fine!...except for one thing, THERE´S NO RECOVERY!!!. The phone works perfectly but when i try to enter recovery mode, it sends me to Odin mode as it displays a message saying that failed to boot into recovery.
Please help me i don´t know what to do.
Thanks!
Just flash a custom recovery like twrp or cwm
Already did...same problem, recovery won't boot

You need to flash a pit file to complete the install correctly.
So, I have here a great old Note 4.
It has the generic mmc errors that cause it issues when booting and sleeping so I decided to give it a new rom. I bumped it into developer options, enabled usb debugging and fastboot and turned it off. I opened up odin, found the right twrp file to flash as well as a stock rom. I loaded it up and fired. The issue then was that the PIT partition had issues. Pit partition failed on odin's side, and flash read failure as well as a pit error of some sort on the phone's side. So I did my homework. I then tried to flash a new .pit file, I made sure the boxes were filled out correctly, had the right pit file as well as a correct stock rom, and the right drivers. It failed again with exactly the same errors. I don't know how you can manage saying that you can't flash the file your trying to fix but whatever. So I did more research and continued to change the usb cable to the original one that came with the phone, change the usb port, change versions of odin, use administrator privileges, find another .pit file, and change the pc. None of these worked, they all gave the same errors no matter what I did. So I moved on to see what else I could do, there was only one more issue though, the phone wouldn't boot up to an OS, if I tried to boot up normally it would boot into recovery, and if I booted into recovery it would boot into download mode with a message saying that the mme error caused it to. SO I couldn't do anything like flashfire or rom manager nor could I do something like root the device! So I did more homework, I turned to adb, because I saw something about an alternative to odin. Unfortunately, the phone has to boot up so you can connect it properly before you boot into download mode. So I did more homework and can't get anywhere, I am completely lost as to what to do because I can't flash odin or adb and sd card can only flash .zip files. I have no idea where to find a .zip for cwm or twrp that will work for my phone and the 2 files that I thought would work only gave me errors. I definitely am drowning in error messages and hope someone who knows what in the world is going on can help me get out of this mess.
Sincerely,
TiffPiff
s8 exynos stuck in Factory Binary, can't connect to adb "unauthorized", nor ODIN
Bought an S8 Exynos, tried to change my carrier with the Factory Binary. After installing Factory Binary via odin I now can not get odin to connect to the phone gets stuck at "SetupConnection". Trying to use adb says "unauthorized device" no matter how many times I start and kill adb server...
Is there any way to unbrick this phone now?
PS:
~ I can only get the phone to go to the FACTORY BINARY screens AND stock recovery screen.
~ Tried both modded and unmodded 3.13.1 ODIN

Try these of :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ning-to-ota-oreo-beta-3-t3920885/post79593856
Thank for the reply, I've tried all of these suggestions with odin still "SetupConnection"
1. Keep using Odin 3.13.1
2.Failng at setup connection :.some.things to try
- make sure you have latest Samsung drivers for your PC.
- if you have smart switch uninstall it as it can cause issues. It may be worth while to try using smart switch to see if that will update your phone.
- connect directly to a USB 2 port ( not a USB 3 or any USB hubs) on your PC.
- try a different usb lead ( data )
- try booting into download mode,restart and go straight back into download mode again then connect to PC.
- run Odin in administrator mode on PC.
- try a different PC.
I have an SM-T280 that I've been trying to put LineageOS on, so I can use my MicroSD card as app storage. I downloaded TWRP Recovery, used Heimdall to transfer it over... DISASTER! Heimdall says:
Code:
Downloading device's PIT file...
PIT file download successful.
Uploading RECOVERY
100%
RECOVERY upload successful
Ending session...
ERROR: Failed to receive session end confirmation!
Releasing device interface...
And on the screen of the tablet itself, "Custom Binary(Recovery) Blocked by FRP Lock". Now my phone is stuck in Odin Download Mode (won't turn on or off), I can't find the stock firmware because I don't have the CSC code, and worst of all, Heimdall won't even connect to the tablet anymore. It gives me this error:
Code:
Initialising protocol...
ERROR: Protocol initialisation failed!
Anyone got any ideas?

Just reboot to download mode (before you say you can't, I guarantee you can) then either just install the stock recovery or the whole firmware.
Boot to the OS and enable OEM_UNLOCK.
I suggest in future you read the installation instructions properly.
@OP
Whats the update? Did you manage to install LigeageOS?
I have the same device and want to install another OS for the same reason.
Did you have any luck installing another OS?
