Boot-loop, traditional debricking doesn't work - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I need your help with resolving my i8190N boot-loop situation.
What caused it:
I was on aokp and flashed revenge v4 over it with cwm including the modem mod listed in the thread.
I did manually format system, data & cache before and possibly after.
Symphtomps:
The white i8910N logo shows up, then disappears and the whole process repeats each few seconds.
Can't boot into recovery.
What I tried already:
Booted into odin mode
Flashed: wipe.md5, params.md5, stock recovery.md5, pre-rooted stock rom.
No change whatsoever.
Can someone help me resolving this?
I look funny on the train typing on my beloved G1 from 2009
Thanks!

Hi
Odin, instal .pit GT-I8190N file, and flash device.

Flashing ROMs on the way to work, you're brave lol. I do this sometimes lmfao.

Thanks for the reply vicoolpl.
Can you please detail this out for me a little bit?

I just attached two .pit zips I found. I'm unsure which one to use. The size is equivalent, but the CRC32 inside the zip is different.
Thanks for any hint.

Use the pit file that matches your phone model, which is the i8190N, dont worry if you used the wrong pit file, it will automatically fail

Unfortunately this didn't change anything either.
I did it both ways:
1. Flash the .pit first, then the ROM next
2. Flash the .pith and the ROM at the same time
Please see the attached screenshot of what I did.
Update: Just repeated the same thing on the screenshot but with re-partitioning enabled. Still no joy.
Thanks.

Use PARAM file here, see if that helps, flash as PDA in Odin.

Enable 3 button combo for recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2157105
Start in recovery and do a factory reset.

It finally worked out!
I installed the 3 button combo + CWM bundle + the official ROM for my carrier from Samsung-Updates.
Since then I flashed reVenge v4.0 and this time it simply worked.
Great thanks for all the replies!

Can't flash Overcome v4.0.0 tar

Hi and thanks in advance for your help! I have searched high and low for the answer. I have flashed "VERSION 5 of the Gingerbread-based stock-safe file " also the right pit file and modem. That flashes flawlessly. I boot the tab, transfer the ROM to internal sd card root and put the tab back into download mode. I then put the 002001-Overcome_Kernel_v4.0.0.tar in the pda section and make sure re-partition is not checked - this fails every time and then I have to flash the stock-safe file again to boot (I get the computer and phone logo). Does anyone have any ideas?
Exact same thing here too. I have flashed previous Overcome versions before without issue :-S
I have read that kernel 3.3.1 will work, but I can't find any live download links.

Found that out too, luckily I have a copy of it and am attaching it. After this I flashed the rest of the files through Recovery which you access by holding volume up + power.
Thank you for this! You saved my bacon. Surely there are others with the same issue.

Hi All,
I faced same problem, you need to re-download 002001-Overcome_Kernel_v4.0.0.tar due to the bad download and check the right file size
Thanks Overcome Team
Best Regards
kiricu
Hi all...
Same problem with me.
I have trouble when flash the overcome kernel v.4.0 using CMW recovery.....also using Odin v.1.85.
But it solve when I flash it using Odin v.1.7.
Sound rather strange, but it works.

Update Possible Solution
The download from the "Mizmo" mirror appears to be corrupt. It is only 4679kB.(MD5 hash D498624F1246BE59F77B96C37D62A5B1)
After about 10 re-tries, I got a mirror called "toe.toofickle" which served a file of 4690kB. (MD5 hash 9AE7329EF734719615C021E033762E6B)
I will re-try the kerneel flash via Odin using the new tar file.
(If it also fails, I will try the 3.3.1 version posted above.)
(Original answer to this at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18975791&postcount=307 )
UPDATE VERIFIED Solution
For me, at least:
Everything went flawless after getting the un-corrupted kernel file.
If you see this, alterbridge86, please get a re-sync at Mizmo's mirror. I lost 2 days and a lot of hair to this.
i just came from the previous version just installed the no wipe version and it was all good.
I had the same problem - thanks for the solution.
A working mirror is here: http://www.mediafire.com/?g8j13sn9o3ghi9f
Hi,
the archive is not corrupted...
FLashing the kernel dont work because alterbridge86 have made a mistake.
The archive have to be plain tar file.
The file posted on the website is a tar.gz file.
You have to uncompress it ( to gunzip it) and to leave the kernel as tar file;

Soft bricked N7000. How to?

Tried everything I could with Odin and phone still stuck in a start loop.
I was downgrading from checkROM to official firmware ZSLA2 with CWM (I wanted to keep ROOT, so I selected "Keep CF-Root kernel") due to stability issues, after restarting the phone got into the start loop.
I flashed with Odin official ZSLA2 with the same result (looped start). I flashed XXKKA (again looped start). During the flashing process, Odin says the flashing was successful. By the way, both ROMS are tar.md5 files.
I tried to remove the battery for over 30 minutes and charge it for 2 hours, tried re-partition in Odin (it's my understanding that with a stock rom, it creates a clean installation), but Odin fails to start the process.
What else can I do?
I am sorry if this has previously asked, but I've been searching for over 2 hours and nothing similar came. Somebody mentioned to use a PIT file in addition, but the other person who got his phone soft bricked didn't solve the problem either. As downloading a ROM is time consuming and I've got many problems with upload sites in china (cannot access to most of them), I would thank any help in regards this issue.
Sounds like your kernel isn't talking properly to your ROM.
A fresh start is your best bet. Flash a stock rom and kernel from Odin and reroot it with CF-Root.
What files are you putting into Odin? There should be a total of 4.
I'd also avoid the use of a .pit file. I haven't even seen the mention of one in all my time on the Note forum. I really don't think Samsung uses them the way they used to. (I used to have to flash one all the time when testing roms on the original galaxy tab.)
I am using official ROM N7000ZSLA2_N7000ZSLA2_N7000XLA4_HOME.tar.md5 into PDA and also tried ROM N7000XXKKA_N7000XEUKK3_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar.md5, which I used successfully in the past to make root into my phone.
Does it really make a difference to flash 4 separate files instead of a full pack? Where can I find an official ROM with pda radio and kernel separated? Just untar the ROM?

Oh, they do come into the Note; I flashed the Beta ICS, and one of the things they mention is to use the PIT file for the 16GB version, instead of the 32GB that comes with the leaked ROM. Unfortunately I deleted that ROM, and donwloading it is painfully slow and also wouldn't necessarily solve my problem as I couldn't even make a phone call.
True - the .pit file can change the size of the partition data... But that's not your problem. If the .pit file was the problem - you'd boot, but have 0 storage space (or something else wonky pertaining to your disk size.)
Open the tar up and make sure it has all the files in it. Should be 5.
I've attached a screenshot of the 5 file names. Make sure they are all in the .tar you are flashing.
Even i had similar problem after flashing Stock ROM using Odin (PC). Only thing i did is just rebooted in recovery and Wipe/factory Reset and Wipe cache. everything went fine.

Well, I finally managed to get my phone back. I was getting a lot of corrupted ROMS. I couldn't download your ROM as well; I managed to install the Beta ICS 4.0.3 which comes with a PIT for repartition, as I think the problem was that my booting partition was screwed.
Problem now is: that rom screws the phone and the keyboard, but at least I have my phone back.
Thank you

I too bricked my phone but after reading this guide (ABD wouldn't recognise my device so I couldn't follow it) I understood the partitions had become messed up.
I read somewhere about the PIT files.
I ODINed the ABYSS Kernal and PIT (Q1_20110914_16GB-patched) for my 16gb n7000 ticked the repartition box. It booted into CWM recovery and I used the restore and bingo.
Fix The problem
I had the same problem, the device got into start loop. JUST DO A FULL WIPE..! and the device should start normally. I worked for me.... :good:

Bricked Galaxy TAB 8.9 (GT-7300) - $20 reward for working solution

Hi,
So, I got a Samsung Galaxy TAB 8.9 (GT-7300) WiFi+3G. Nordic/European version. I have a long history of rooting and running custom ROM's on my Android devices, but this time i f##ed up a bit.
1. Installed root_original.zip from this thread by copying it on to the tablet and applying it from stock recovery.
2. Booted and installed Superuser and ROM Manager from Market.
3. Used ROM Manager to install CWM for Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Yes, I know...).
4. Tab would not boot, but I could still get in to download mode. Browsed some XDA threads and came across this guy who seemed to have the same problem. I did not see that he had a P7310 (WiFi only) tablet. So, I used Odin 1.85 to install the bootloader, which was for the P7310, not for P-7300. Now, the tablet boots but the display is just flickering, like it is using a wrong refresh rate or wrong resolution. Not at all possible to read anything, but I can still get into Download mode.
5. Installed stock rom from here, specifically this one: P7300XWLA2------2012 January----P7300NEELA1-----Nordic countries----
Still no luck. The tablet boots into Android but the display is still flickering.
$20 for anyone who gets me out of this mess
Can you come in recovery ?
Than try this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519564
There is an option in CWM under the mount and storage tab where stands mount usb connection click on that and move this to your tab after that install it
I hope it will work!
You could also try the Swedish firmware: http://hotfile.com/dl/146666862/13403b2/P7300XWKL4_P7300NSEKL1_NSE.zip.html
The NSE are usually pretty much the same as NEE with some swedish bloatware. Worth a try I guess.
Also see this guide for how to use Odin in case you did something wrong: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406137
One thing that I've noticed when flashing with Odin is that even if I check the F.reset checkbox it still does not do a factory reset (at least it did not do it for me). You should be able to do a factory reset using the stock recovery.
Oh and btw, my advice is for free.
Hi safariking,
I can get in to recovery, but I'm unable to read anything, as the display is just flickering. I would need a press-by-press guide in order to perform the steps correctly... :/
Thanks kallt_kaffe, I'll try the swedish firmware and follow the guide step-by-step

If you turn it off and charge it, is the charging-mode-display also distorted?
Also if I were you I would leave it on in download or recovery mode and let the battery drain completely. Worth a shot I guess.

When I flash a complete ROM with Odin (e.g. the Swedish ROM you suggested) - is there anything left to flash that could be causing this? If I were to return the tablet to the dealer, will there be any evidence of dumb-user-flashing?

I honestly do not know.
Have you tried flashing the PIT file (in the PIT section) along with the ODIN image (in the PDA section)? You can download the PIT file so you can click on Repartition, right here. It's a very small file. Be sure you have F.Reset Time checkmarked too. Best of lucks.
If you flash a bootloader for P7310 so when you trying to flash P7300 ROM with odin, the bootloader will mapping all file just like P7310 with their partition Layout.. I think the pit file is not the solution..
First you need turn back the bootloader to original form.. I dont know where I can find P7300 bootloader..
After you finish with the bootloader, try to install P7300 Stock rom, with pit file and repartition..
I dont know if this post will help you.. but it worth to try..
EDIT:
maybe you can use firmware from P7300ZSKH5 from this link
This file include with bootloader and pit file..

As long as you have the right drivers installed, no. That's my setup.
I had a similar issue. It occured only when I turned display off and on, both in android and in battery charging mode while powered off. I just went back to the store and got it replaced. xD
Anyway the flickering began to show up after flashing 3.2 back from a 4.0 rom... So I think there was something wrong with the bootloader.. Didnt find any tar file containing the original bootloader.. Perhaps someone here can make it for you
hey,
i got same problem after i tried to install cm9. now i cant install nothing (i formated cash, data, system and preload) no data factory reset working. i have nonstop bootloops and format cache and dalvik not working but cwm ist starting but not working really. but can start download mode too ... so i think its not a super-brick for my gt 7300 from switzerland.
so, i will try to download from samMobile the original firmware and to flash with odin. anybody knows a tutorial with odin for gt 7300? cant find nothing for pit, csc, tar ...

I have to say, I was about to send the tablet to samsung, it was dead, no rom, no boot, no partition, no USB connection to store, what save me was the Odin up load that you recommended me, the tablet was really crashed.
I Think that is a sollution for actually almost any problem on the tablet (a complete format, sure, but still a good solution for ROM problems).
anyway, Many Thanks!!!!!!

Re-flashing in Heimdall had no effect.
I then tried flashing

using Odin 3.185 from my VMwars Fusion XP install,
and that seemed to finish ok, but no luck either.
I looked for the latest CWM 6.0.4.3 recovery, but I cannot find any
odin-flashable format for it, and of course I cannot use the sdcard
as I cannot even boot into any recovery as is.
Can anyone suggest next steps?

1st things 1st. Why would u use heimdall or odin? And what is your current ROM before trying to flash CM 10.3, was it stock? You should have looked for CWM recovery or Philz safe kernels as base when doing ROM flashing ESPECIALLY custom roms. From what you said, then can you still boot into download mode? I have no knowledge of heimdall so just download Stock Firmware, flash it with odin and see if you can boot your N7000 first.
The worst case scenarios is you are experiencing emmc bug-brick. go to the thread and read carefully to deduce your type of 'brick' and find solutions there. Good Luck.
I was on a stock 4.0.4 (but rooted). I originally tried flashing the cwm from the sd card, but after starting to load it it also just hung,
so I looked for an alternative..
I found a post on stockroms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997) but the links all point to hotfile.com. which my browser says it cannot find. is hotfile dead? Is there an alternative?

I found a post on stockroms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997) but the links all point to hotfile.com. which my browser says it cannot find. is hotfile dead? Is there an alternative?

Go to sammymobile.com if I'm not wrong. Download the stock firmware there. Rooted but do u have cwm installed? Rooted doesn't mean you have cwm installed.

I'm sorry so did u succeed or did you not succeed in installing the custom rom? If your custom rom boots fine then all u need is to search for solving status 7 error thread. My advice to all noobs is to always try n avoid installimg anything except stock rom in odin. Always read and re read before flashing anything that's beyond your knowledge. Basic knowledge of flashing cusroms is :
1. ALWAYS make sure you're on SAFE and COMPATIBLE KERNEL. Most rom threads ALWAYS Include threads/links to a specific recovery/kernel to use. Read n RE READ that.
2. Wipe everything IN RECOVERY mode before flashing a rom.

If you're able to boot up properly n prompted to wipe, then do it. But do it in recovery not on device.
Ok, I downloaded one of the stock kernels for my internatinal N7000, but flashing that with Odin 3.185 hangs about 3/4 through (has now been
sitting there for >60 mins).
Looks like I am screwed?
The file I found is KIES_HOME_N7000XXLT4_N7000OXALT4_1103517_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
I f I wanted to try flashing this with Heimdall, I'd need to know partition numbers I think
Where can I get those?
Or should I get another file?

Before that, do u have KIES installed? KIES is NOT compatible with odin and will cause potential trouble. So is some firewall and antivirus apps. You need to disable all of them before using odin. Please search the thread http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ for stock rom site.

but both fail with some (unreadable, apparently character set issue) error under ODIN.
I found this:

which shows how to do a full flash , including PIT file, but the links again go to hotfile which seems to be down.

Where can I get a) separate

MODEM_N7000xxxxxx_REV_00_CLxxxxxx.tar.md5
GT-N7000-CSC-MULTI-xxxxxx.tar.md5
and the PIT file?

Of course you fail... When using ODIN, U should have downloaded the .tar. if you downloaded a zip. then unzip it first to get the tar file, then you flash it with odin. All requests are included in the stock.tar And PLEASE DO NOT Play with PIT files if you don't know what you are doing.
So now what you need to do is. :
1. DISABLE KIES (Uninstall it better), Your firewall, antivirus.
2. Install CORRECT Samsung USB driver. (Search keyword "download samsung N7000 usb drivers")
3. Unzip your zip file and extract the tar.file.
4. Run ODIN as Administrator (Right click/run as)
5. Go to download mode. connect your device to Pc/laptop.
6. Wait until Odin detects your device, click AP/PDA and choose the tar file you extracted.
7. DO NOT tick partition.
8. Let it run
Of course I unzipped the zip to get a SINGLE .tar.md5, but flashing that fails on factoryfs about 3/4 through. consistently.

Try updating your odin. Use the newest vers. And try and read this https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...ds-cse&usg=AFQjCNGd2e3iG5hkDeo0KyAjGuCSfQSLUw . If All fails then it's a confirmed SUPER-BRICK and there's nothing except samsung service centre can help you now... Sorry for not being able to help more..
Thanks. That led me to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656635
where I found the PIT file, but for ROMs pointed to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530501
which again points to hotfile and fileserve.com , which (besides being under maintenance) says
FileServe can only be used to download and retrieve files that you have uploaded personally.
which makes it useless for finding ROMs...

Nand Erase In ODIN ( *** SOLVED *** )

Guys,
I need an urgent help. Here is my Story..
Using 9208 Note 5 model. After trying different custom roms i tried to flash stock firmware using Odin. Did everything correctly. Unfortunately i checked Nand Erase all option too. The result is my Note 5 stuck at Samsung DimDim logo. For almost 1 hour. Tried reflash several times but no luck..
So i flashed twrp and wipe data and factory reset and reboot. Its works. But problem with voLTE. No voLTE working. I know flashing JIO voLTE fix will solve this but i need a solution for this Odin. I dont want to flash voLTE fix.
Can someone help me pls.. How to bypass that Samsung logo without flashing Twrp.. ?

Well that's because you erased everything including your partitions so now you need to find the .PIT file for your exact model and select it in odin while flashing the firmware again.

I need to know the firmware version that you were on before this problem started.. The PIT file is always inside of the firmware you download all you need to is unzip it from within the .zip..

You can only downgrade if you have firmware that's bootloader version 4 because you're currently on bootloader version 4 and you cannot go back down to bootloader version 3 or earlier because that's been blocked by Sammy.. If you need the PIT file it's inside of the firmware that you downloaded you just need to extract it from the file. If you have the firmware G935FXXS4ESC6 then unzip it and then unzip them again and you'll find the PIT file in there.. It's usually inside of the CSC .tar file.

Thanks for your kind support, as per your suggestion after unzip the csc file i found the pit file . Now should i select Nand Erase & Re-Partition options after inserting the pit file. Is it safe to select these options?
I have flash so many time with same firmware, flashing was ok but still i'm facing same problem.

You can do that yes and if that doesn't fix your problem then there must be something wrong with the phone itself. For your information though you're asking for help in the Galaxy Note 5 thread but you're on a Galaxy S7 Edge.. I do think a moderator might end up moving this to the correct place.
