Hi everyone! I need help. I tried to install twrp but it won't work in any way. Odin fails every single time. Get pit for mapping... Every time. I tried changing the cable, using a different usb and pc too. Usb drivers are updated. But every time I get this error message. I tried to reinstall the original firmware as a test, but that didn't work either. I have an old tablet (T-290) and it works without any errors. (Twrp and original firmware too)
Any ideas on how to get the installation done? Could there be something wrong with the charging port? (Data transfer, fast charging works)

Hello!
I have royally F***** up my phone so if there are any geniuses out there, I will be so happy to hear your thoughts on my issue.
Here's my problem and I am open to any solution:
-My phone isn't rooted so CMW, TWRP, and any other custom recoveries are not an option.
-USB doesn't work
-Factory reset doesn't help (I've tried both ways)
-Any installs via extSD get the signature fail notification
-USB debugging is checked
-Allow apps from unknown source is checked
-App verification is unchecked
-Any kind of app that is meant to root my phone doesn't work
Thank you in advance!
Can you put it into download mode? If you can then you should be able to odin a custom recovery or odin the stock rom back to your phone and start from scratch. Have you downloaded the Samsung USB drivers? Only use the cable that came with your phone, others may not work or charge only. Also, try a different usb port.
Signature fails because you are on the stock recovery and the file you are trying to install hasn't been signed by Samsung.

I can put it into download mode but my phone still isn't recognized. I've tried many different cables, computers, usb ports, etc. I've downloaded the drivers from people posting them on here or on samsungs website directly but either way, i'm using windows 8 and windows 8 does it automatically. this wasn't a problem from the beginning, this just recently started happening and it has nothing to do with my computer or any computer for that matter.
Have you installed the drivers 'as administrator'?
Have you used Odin before?
How did you do what ever it is you think you did?
Have you tried Odin'ing a complete stock .tar? Here's one. Just download zip and extact the .tar.md5 file.
When you launch Odin are you right clicking and running as admin?
Did you put your phone into download mode before connecting it to a RUNNING Odin session. Meaning start Odin on PC as admin. Then put phone into download mode and then plugging it into computer.
Seems you can get into your phone right?
You may also try copying the extracted .tar to your SD card (via PC adapter or whatever) putting the SD card back in your phone and then trying to flash it via Stock Recovery.
Always nice when someone asks for help and then never reports back.
My Note 4 is n910cq with Exynos and I downloaded Android 6 from an xda thread and while I try to flash it through odin I got an error. After that the phone stuck with a screen says"firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode ın kies and try again". I can put the phone into download mode but not able to get it to recovery mode. I tried to flash older roms but still keep getting error in odin. I tried Samsung smart switch app through upgrade section but no result. So, what to do?
it happens to me also because the phone disconnects while flashing , so you need to change the usb port ..keep trying to place it in a different usb port or even try to change the usb cable

Thanks a lot. I changed the cable and PC and works good.
Hey!
New to XDA but a complete fan of the help and guides you guys provide.
So, I acquired an i9060 smartphone and successfully installed CM 11 without the help of my laptop since the usb cable through Odin never worked for me (driver issues on Win10?).
Unfortunately, my phone entered an Android boot loop. And now with a lot of attempt I can't even enter CWM or even charge my smart phone, as it always reboots while trying to charge the battery (it's always drained) or gets stuck during logo before accessing CWM.
I tried to install Samsung drivers, Kies, ABD, Odin to restore the firmware but... nothing seems to recognise this Samsung device. Does anyone had the same problems I'm having now? Any suggestions?
You might try another USB cable, USB port, or even another computer. Without Odin, you're not going to be able to fix this since recovery is no longer available.

Tried on 3 laptops but the problem persists. Never thought of changing my usb cable though. I'll give it a shot
Btw, is there anyway to use an external SD card to force a factory reset?

Have you considered the possibility that your power button is sticking? Not the part that you touch but the hardware switch behind it?
Do you have USB debugging enabled?
Are you using the stock cable or at least a USB cable with the same number of pins/pinouts?
Guys could anyone help me?
My phone is Samsung A8 variant A800i non-rooted and already 6.0.1.
Eversince I upgraded to MM thru ODIN I am encountering an error in my OTG as in it won't read any disk... the only resort to make the otg work again is to reflash my phone. However during the most recent otg failure, a "USBsettings has stopped" was shown. I factory reset my phone but still this notification appears everytime I start my phone. So when I decided to reflash my phone, I was shocked that my laptop only charges my phone. It can't even detect my files thru mtp connection.
I tried the following and my laptop still can't detect my phone:
1. At the Developers Option I tried to switch the USB Configuration from MTP to Charging to MTP and various other switching, while connected and unconnected to laptop.
2. Dialled *#0808# to reset USBsettings but I am only getting "USBsettings" has stopped.
3. I reinstalled the USBsettings.apk from the system folder (via total commander).
4. I have installed USBsettings.apk taken from another phone.
By the way before I tried the above methods I have already eliminated the cable and pc problems since using the same cable and laptop, I can connect my other samsung phone thru mtp and is detected by odin. I have also tried various other desktop on Windows 7 and 10 but still the same problem: these only charges my phone.
Moreover, there is no abnormality in my charging time eversince this happened.
Hope someone could help me make this work again.
Thank You.
Hi All
I am looking for an update.zip file I can use to flash the stock 6.0.1 rom again over my existing version to fix a USB connection issue. I need a Samsung OTA update.zip which can be flashed from the stock recovery via an sd card.
This has come to light as I've recently tried to update my note 4 to nougat but came across an issue where the phone will not connect with my PC via USB. I have tried all the usual tricks on the phone (dev options, usb debugging, MTP+ADB etc) but nothing was working. In the end I have replaced the micro usb daughter board on the phone thinking there must be an issue with the data pins but the phone still refuses to connect but charges fine. Strangely the phone thinks it's connected fine but the PC says it is not getting a device descriptor response. I have checked drivers etc and also tried 3 other PCs all of which connect to my old S4 without issue. I have also tried various USB cables including a new genuine samsung one.
Due to not being able to connect to a PC in any mode (such as odin download mode or recovery) and having the stock recovery without root my only hope is that a new update.zip will sort out corruption from the last OTA update. I believe this may be the reason as I was able to connect fine until the most recent update a couple of weeks ago. I have tried using a zip from the samfirm downloader but the recovery failed immediately with 'unable to map file'
Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated as I really don't want to be stuck on Marshmallow now Samsung will no longer be updating the Note 4.
I have tried connecting in MTP mode, odin download and recovery mode with usb debug both on and off
Many Thanks
Luke
