[Q] noob here

Good day! First time poster and total android noob here \
Anyway, I had my under warranty note updated to ICS more than a month ago. Under gingerbread, everything was running fine and even after updating to 4.0.1, it was still running good. My problem started when I updated to 4.0.3. The phone locked my sim out and was asking for a network unlock code so my phone being under warranty, I went to the service center to have it checked.
The staff told me they needed to reformat the OS since I upgraded OTA. I backed all my data then I sent it to them. They formatted the OS and informed me that the problem still persisted. So they told me that they would change the board since formatting it did not solve the problem. A few days later, the board arrived and they replaced it. I got the unit back but noticed the camera would not focus. So I sent it back and I was told they needed ti replace the camera since it was faulty. I was hesitant at first as to why the camera would suddenly die when they only replaced the board. But it was fine with me and since it was still free, I sent it back to them anyway.
It was running fine when I got the phone back but since then, I always got a notification telling me a software update is available even when they installed 4.0.4 (and even before Jellybean update was aanounced). I tried to update OTA again but received an error report that it could not update due to network problem or to try updating via Kies.
I plugged my note via the computer to load Kies and received an error report that my device does not support upgrading via Kies. I never got that error before they replaced my board. I googled and found that maybe the board they replaced is not supported in my country or something.
Can anyone help me out? All I want is a clean install (if possible) with all software running good. I was always tempted to have my phone rooted to solve all the problems but opted not to since I don't want to void my warranty. I read somewhere that you could load an official ROM to reinstall your OS without voiding the warranty. And as you know, I am hesitant on asking the service center's help again (unless it is a hardware problem :fingers-crossed
Thank you in advance and sorry for the long post

u can download the Stock ICS roms from www.samfirmware.com and install it via PC odin.. this doesnot void the warranty
or go to this thread and install rom from ur region. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
all tool required are given in the 1st post.
Kies is not able to update the phone because the rom might not match the kies criteria (PDA/Modem/CSC).. PC odin is the solution for all ur problems

Thanks for the quick reply! Followup question, will reinstalling the ROM erase all my data? I know it probably would but I'm just making sure. If so, what backup programs can you recommend? I tried Kies before but the apps were not restored.. I need something that would restore contacts, messages, apps and others.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know of any backup app without having your phone rooted. But eh, new is always better

if u install ics over gb or ics. it will not as they are non wipe. but custom rom need a factory wipe to be done so they will.
Best backups u can get via root only.
titanium backup is 1 of the best
more over with custom recovery u can backup ur whole rom along will all data.

So how about this.. Root phone, install titanium backup, backup, reinstall ROM, restore backup, unroot. Sounds plausible? I would prefer to unroot so that my warranty will not be void

u can be on any rom.. to unroot u jus need to intstall stock ics usin odin.
reinstall ROM: is vast.. custom or stock?.

what is that u trying to achieve?
for using TB and to restore backup u need root again.. then u can unroot.

You can backup your apps with "app backup and restore" app.Rooting is not required for this app to work
For messages,"sms backup and restore" app and you can sync your contacts with your google account

I am a little annoyed by the software update notification that does not go away even if I am on 4.0.4 (maybe the service center botched the install) and Kies does not allow software update. I am a little OC so these small annoyances bother me a lot

Thank you for the recommendation! Will give it a try on of these days
and by the way, do I have to enter the captcha everytime I want to post something? or will it go away after I have entered a minimum number of post?

yeah it will go away after a few posts and the 2 Min limitation as well

Good day guys!
Just to give you an update, I rooted my device by superSU, installed titanium pro for backup and flashed it. Still got the problem. It tried both the file from samsung and the one by dr. ketan. It might be a long shot I'm thinking I got a unit that was not meant to be sold in my country. Any ideas?

No.I mean did you try downloading the software update you get on your phone

If I download OTA, it says failed to update firmware due to network or server problem. then suggests to try via Kies. If I try via Kies, it says my phone does not support software upgrading via Kies.

Did you flash any custom kernel
If not,flash the stock rom,dont root it and try downloading the software update you get
I guess it will work
Editont do any wipes after you flash the ics rom..Stock kernel is not safe to wipe and it may brick you phone

Got device back from samsung

Hello,
Ik bricked my phone last week. Did something stupid, tried to format with CMW.zip. Very bad i know.
Because i needed the phone asap, i send it to samsung
Went to pick it up today, with the message that i lost my warranty. I can live with that.
When i turn on my device i get the message that there is no firmware installed and i need to connect it to samsung KIES.
What do you guys recommend? I can get in Download Mode, but not in CWM menu. Possible they removed the failed root i installed before.
I cannot connect to KIES, think you all know KIES is a sh*t program.
What do you guys advise me? Root again trough download mode and install CM, or try and connect to KIES with different PC.
Regards,
Joao

Thanks for your reply, i have no idea why Samsung gave me a blank firmware back. Can i just update it with http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3
Here i can find the stock ROM's.
You think Samsung change the Motherboard? Because they told me i lost my warranty and i cannot update legaly anymore...
Regards

Samsung usually loads the firmware and returns the phone. Now sure why no in in this case.
Yes you can download the stock firmware from sammobile.com and flash via odin. But if you choosing ics make sure not to wipe till a safe kernel is installed. I would suggest philz. That way the phone will be rooted as well. Hope that have changed the mb.
Flash the firmware and hope for the best.

[Q?] URGENT Help with Soft Brick!!

Help me out guys i really need save my phone.
i have been trying to update my 2.3.6 to 4.3 (Jellybean) through Odin since I always got some weird stopping at 69% on Kies, but i seemed to fail on odin, Odin was failing to do it so i tried other odin ver and got stuck on the ''NAND Write Start'' thing, i exited odin and then tried something else i'm very stupid so i used a pit for the wrong version of my android to..help in whatever it was i dont remember, together with the ROM.
i didn't check if my phone was aleadry bricked after i force closed odin in patching in the first time so i don't know the root of the problem.
and i don't know if this is Soft or full brick but i get stuck at Firmware Upgrade encountered a issue, Kies does not help in it when i type the cellphone info into that option, it gives me a error so no way through kies. i didn't do any way yet to try to save it i'm really unsure what to do i checked really a bunch of different posts so its really confusing, i really get in panic when stuff like this happens so forgive me, i hope anyone can help in somehow, also, if better i need to save it in a way without having to wipe my stuff because most of my apps data are in the phone, but i dont mind if theres no other way than using wiping in one of the steps.
i don't really know how to follow if you link me over a thread so its better if you post the explanation here.

You must do factory reset when you go from GB to JB. That is why you get a bootloop probably.
So to make it short situations is like this:
1. You had problem with Kies
2. Tried with Odin and got force close of odin in Windows?
3. Retry with Kies with same ending
So what Windows do you use? Do you use 8? I read some had problem with Odin and 8.x. Did you use Odin 3.0.x?

Yeah, forced closed odin 2 times, kies like stopped and disconnected everything on 69% leaving only the android on downloading screen but that didnt brick it, i use windows 7, odin 3.09 only gave me fails so i used 3.07 where it got stuck on nand thing.
also, any ways to backup things even though the thing is bricked? i can go to download mode fine and i think i can go into recovery too (never tried it on this phone)

Your internal data (on internal SD) will be there, but Factory reset will delete your apps and its data.
Or try to flash GB with ODIN and see what happens.

It is probably soft, you can go to Odin. Way to unbrick it is to flash stock firmware with Odin - like you did. Find GB firmware and flash it with odin like you did.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985398
If your phone is I9070 then use firmware for I9070, if it is I9070P use I9070P firmware. If you miss this you will hardbrick phone, and not be able to use Download mode.
And do not use Hong Kong firmware.
sammobile.com and samsung-updates.com are sites where you can find firmwares.
You were on custom ROM when you did update with Kies?

I am not 100% sure about that. Maybe try other ODIN versions. But I used 3.0.7 without problem. Search for nand write problem to see what is it about.
P.S. Redownlaod firmware maybe, is it the same size as shown on the page when you started download?

Yeah um it was, as i said Odin 3.09 only failed while 3.07 got stuck in nando. isnt there someone that knows about that nando thing? i readed alot but i dont think i can really find a good answer.
alright so, downloaded a 2.3.6 firmware, i download which odin? i do need download that ''odin tools'' from that link you linked me ? because it has a very old ver of odin but skipping that it has a PIT file that i dont really know what it is for.

Odin. Like you did now, just with JB firmware for your I9070 model (P or non P, if you miss that you will hard brick, for example if you flash P firmware on non P phone, and otherwise).
Just follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985398
Simple as - put firmware in PDA, hit flash. And check if you have unchecked/checked as it is written there.
Probably Kies was the problem, because that nand write error. He messed up, and now this fixed it.

Oh, OK.
Messed up CSC configuration causes this error. Try this;
Flash the latest Odin-Flash available FW via Odin. After you've flashed, do factory reset from stock recovery. Then, when the phone boots up, just reboot to bootloader and flash the latest Odin-Flash available FW via Odin again. When the phone boots up, do factory reset from Settings application. After the phone boots up, try to install update via ADB.

We have to wait until ATT makes it available to get the OTA or update via Smart Switch.
There's another thread in here on how to use Odin and load MM, but it's not the 'official' way.

Oh, OK.
Messed up CSC configuration causes this error. Try this;
Flash the latest Odin-Flash available FW via Odin. After you've flashed, do factory reset from stock recovery. Then, when the phone boots up, just reboot to bootloader and flash the latest Odin-Flash available FW via Odin again. When the phone boots up, do factory reset from Settings application. After the phone boots up, try to install update via ADB.

Hi,
I just test your solution. Unfortunatly, this doesn't solve my problem. Do you know if I can download an ODIN version of the firmware for Android 6 and the Galaxy S6 Active ?
Regard,

Help.........!!!
Can jump from version G925AUCS5DPK5 to this version ? when flash is stuck in odin, is there any way to do it, stays in file analysis for a long time but does not load, any idea how to fix it?:crying:
Here's everything I've tried
1) Change USB port
2) Administrator mode
4) Rebooted phone
5) rebooted computer
...... any other idea ?

Does this require a phone to be on a specific version before flashing? Just want to be sure everything is good to go before moving forward.
**Edit** found answer by searching. (sorry to jump post heheh

Now it´s working, I unzip all 4 files to md5, and then load the ROM successfully, but it stuck on black screen for about 30 min and never started, I had to go down to the previous version now with imei corrupt and now my cell phone no longer has signal, I do not know what went wrong or where I was wrong?

I flash this files in my g925aucu4dph5 phone, I will upgrade to nougat? What about ADB files? Do you have a video tutorial to this process?

just received my g925a 128GB version, currently has the build number LMY47X.G925AUCU3BOJ7, can i use Odin 3.10.6 and just flash this on it after zipping all 4 files down to md5? (bl, ap, cp, csc)??/
I'mgoing to assume it will not b rootabe after this? If so, to what firmware can i. should i update to so that I may root as flash some other ROM? What I really want to accomplish is just rid myself of all the AT&T bloat, as I do not use AT&T.......and would like to be a more newer version of android then 5.1.1
excuse of it seems nubish, but been using OnePlus One for 3 years now, and stumbled upon getting this phone on a great deal on getting this phone for $240.....so new to the samsung scene, but not to the rooting/bootloading unlocking flashing scene....
Also saw that another poster lost his storage flashing odin....something not cool on a 128gb device and another lost his imei....not cool either

Thanks for the update! Worked beautifully. Now waiting for may update.

Once you load these are we supposed to get updates from ATT? I ask b/c when I hit update it never finds anything and I don't have the most current OS I have the previous to current using these methods to update

has anybody done this without losing original storage or imei??? have a 128GB att edge and would not want this error to occur on mine...still in 5.1.1 build OJ7....

localization of 7.0 AT&T
Hi guys. Sorry for possible offtopic, but I have a guestion for people who upgraded to Android 7 on this device:
Is there any changes in localizations list? Can this phone switch to russian language?

Do we need to be on a certain version before flashing this w/odin?
