Ok. So rooted my Note 3 in Oct and ROMd in Jan with XNote 7. I had it all fine and everything since. Well, I upgraded to XNote 12 and realized I couldn't receive calls and a few other weird annoying bugs. So I attempted to downgrade back to MJ5 using the Restore tutorial in the General section.
Alright, well I did the whole tutorial I Heimdalled the MI9_Fix.img.ext4 file and then started flashing the ZIPs. I did the SEC_CSC then I tried the 2400845 and it failed with a message about system/vender/lib.camerafilter.whatever.so couldn't be found and quit. I figured it was normal so and now I'm stuck at the Samsung logo with a padlock. It will go into recovery and Odin mode fine.
It also deleted my Safestrap. So I cannot get into SS recovery. I have tried the tutorial again and now Heimdall quits with error 87 and something about a I/O error.
I have also tried to Odin the MJ5 stock flash files (AP, BL, CP and PIT) but it does nothing. I cannot install a ROM and cannot use my phone.
I desperately need my phone for work, so if someone can help me out ASAP, so I don't lose my job, I would be SO grateful! THANK YOU!!!!

do the procedure again and follow it to the letter as i can see you can still get to dl mode, btw you're supposed to flash the sec_csc and 240058 AFTER you flash the system.img with heimdall.

I can do the ODIN part, then when I try the Heimdall part, it comes up with an error. I have tried it 5 times over. To a T... : (
And yes, I know you flash those BEFORE. That's what I meant to say, but I was in a rush...
Im in a similar pickle but my problem is that I need a way to get those files to the SD card because the thing is bricked. I can't copy the files to a bricked phone and every device in my house refuses to read the micro SD card.

That's the problem right there. Over in my thread about the kitkat update fix people are saying it's not working for them but they are missing steps because they're not reading everything. I've used that method 3 times so far and it worked all 3 times. Start from the beginning. Delete all the files from previous attemtps, go to step 1, read everything, you will get it.

Again, I have done this 5 times. No joke. I have redownloaded everything 3 times.
1) Download and install Heimdall from here for windows. You'll need this and this to avoid missing .dll file errors
2) Download the following files;
MI9_fix.img.ext4
https://mega.co.nz/#F!icMTnSQY!bMBNFmUnn2_K8olSTYpwIA (mirror provided by drakeymcmb)
sec_csc.zip
rldv.zip
2400258.zip
Put everything except for the system.img on your external SD card
3) Download and install the MJ5 partions. Use Odin to flash these files (match the file names with the different upload slots)
AP_N900AUCUBMJ5.zip
BL_N900AUCUBMJ5.zip
CP_N900AUCUBMJ5.zip
HLTE_USA_ATT_32G.pit
4) Now is the time to use Heimdall.
Reboot into Download Mode once Odin finishes.
Install the vcredist packages downloaded from step 1.
unzip the heimdall .zip file to c:/
go to c:/Heimdall Suite/Drivers and click on zadig.exe
click the middle menu button to select "Show All Devices"
from the dropdown, select MSM8960
click the "install driver" button.
you should see a success message
5) Navigate on your computer to c:/Heimdall Suite/ and open heimdall-frontend.exe.
IMPORTANT -- Go to the Utilities tab and click the "Detect" button
Go to the Flash tab on Heimdall, click Browse and select the HLTE_USA_ATT_32G.pit file downloaded from step 3
Click the 'add' button, then next to 'partition name' select system from the dropdown.
click the Browse button underneath the dropdown, and select the MI9_fix.img.ext4 image you downloaded from step 2.
6) Click Start. ***I usually check the 'No Reboot' box to prepare for booting into recovery
THIS IS WHERE I CAN NO LONGER GO ANY FURTHER!!! IT SPITS A I/O ERROR 87 AT THIS POINT! I CANNOT GET AROUND THIS! THIS IS WHAT I NEED HELP WITH!
7) Heimdall and your Note will report a bad flash at around 95% -- but don't worry -- your system.img got uploaded Reboot directly into recovery mode.
8) Once in recovery, select "Choose update from external" in the recovery, and select the sec_csc.zip you downloaded earlier (did you remember to put that file on your external SD card?). This will install the CSC files and run the preload checkin so you don't FC all over the place
9) IMPORTANT--After flashing the sec_csc, the Note will reboot.
Try to catch it in time to reboot BACK into recovery
Once in recovery, select "Choose update from external" in the recovery, and select the 2400258.zip you downloaded earlier.
This will give you a stock MJ5 system. You can choose to stop here if you don't want to root.
10) Extract rldv.zip to the root of your internal sdcard (NOTE **my script removes Knox apps). Reboot, then once SuperSu installs, Reboot again.
This leaves you with a rooted MJ5 device.

If that doesn't work try this...
fire up zadig, connect phone while in download mode, install the driver for msm8960, fire up heimdall frontend, go to utilities tab, hit detect button, and then go to flash screen and check no reboot, then start...
I also did mine with usb 3.0 and it worked fine so I don't think that matters. Using the stock cable also.
I was in the same boat. I had to switch computers and it worked first time. Both of them were windows 8.1 btw.

Yes. I actually powered down the machine completely, removed the charger and battery, let it sit for 5 mins and retried.
Also, yes I did. That was before I did click replace tho. Good eyes. ^__^

Does anyone have any input on the Hard Brick recovery method? The unbrick.img method? I tried it with (what I think was MJ5, but not 100% sure) a 64GB class10 UHS-1 Lexar MicroSD Card. I booted into download mode and nothing. Not sure if I did that wrong, or if the card isn't compatible, or the IMG isn't correct (anyone have any links to the unbrick.img for MJ5?)...

Well it's not bricked because you can boot into download and recovery mode. It sounds like it's just a driver issue with heimdall.

My Phone is DEAD
I was talking on my phone yesterday and it just shut off and hasn't been back on since. It is not responding to anything i try. Power + Vol down + Home. When i plug it up, there is no sounds or vibration no response. The phone is in a permanent off state. Any thought or suggestion on how to repair. I did the OTA update last week SM-N900A.

Hi,
I tried flashing a ROM with Odin to my I9000 today, and in the middle of flashing I received an error message. Once I tried to start it I got a weird logo on my screen with a yellow exclamation mark. Managed to enter Download mode again though.
Once I disconnected the device and tried to connect it again in Download mode, my PC stopped recognizing it - I got "USB Device not recognized" and can't use Odin to flash anymore.
I tried Heimdall on OSX as well but it didn't work either.
Is this fixable ?
Thanks,
George
At which phase did the flashing stopped? Uninstall and reinstall the drivers again.
Since your phone boots to download mode, it's absolutely fixable, so chill!
I've been through this before, and this method worked.
1. Reboot PC.
2. Clear /temp folder on PC.
3. Boot phone into download mode.
4. Connect to PC, so that ur PC recognizes your device.
5. Switch off phone.
6. Set up Odin with all the files assigned like PDA, modem and csc.
*I suggest re-partitioning using 512.pit file
7. Boot phone to download, connect to PC, hit start on Odin.
Done
#if device is still unrecognized, reinstall drivers.
Let me know if it helped.

Hi,
I followed your instructions & I tried a different set of drivers but I still get Windows cannot recognize your device error.
The error occurred in Odin while flashing the main image (the big file).
Are you sure that as long as I can get to Download Mode I can still recover from this ?
Thanks,
George
Try removing the SIM and/or SDcard before reflashing again with ODIN.
It's a solution I found on the forums that saved my I9000 before.
The problem is that I can't even get to the stage where I'm able to flash anything. No PC/Mac will recognize my device.

Well, I know this may sound weird..
1. Reinstall drivers
2. Detach battery and keep phone that way for 5-6 hour. (I dunno why, but this worked with me!)
3. IMPORTANT DON'T SKIP: clear all temporary files on your PC.
4. MOST IMPORTANT: reboot download and simply "connect" to PC with no other applications running. This time, your PC should recognize your device.
5. Turn off your phone, reboot your PC, again clear temporary files.
6. Start Odin, assign files to respective fields, check repartition. NOW CONNECT THE PHONE TO PC IN DOWNLOAD MODE.
7. After Odin recognizes (that block goes yellow), wait for a minute, start.
##Please follow all the steps do not skip any.
It should 99% fix your phone, if it doesn't, service centers will be happy to help.

Dear Forum,
I have a I9001. I've been busy with it for a week now and read and tried allot. Nothing seems to work!
So , my I9001 doesn't have a recovery any more. No root or CWM. The rom works (2.3.5) but crashes or freezes. Then tried every
combo in the book to get into the recovery mode but nothing works.
So I ask you biggest android forum of the world: What the hell is going on??
Tried to get into recovery by recovery boot by pc, tried installing other roms or kernels or whatever.
Also getting a mmc boot mbr read failed when trying above stuff by odin.
Also when I shutdown the phone and I start it up again then it has to be installed again like country and date etc etc...
Thanks in forward for answering.
Greetz,
Happybeat
But download mode still working? Then you could try to flash the recovery via Odin again or a stock Rom, AFAIK those contain the stock recovery as well so afterwards you'll have a "fresh" installed phone... Might work, no other ideas...

Sorry don't know any solution but I'm quite new in here so maybe you can post it into/revive this thread because the Q&A is (in my opinion) not well visited by I9001 users because it's meant to be for i9000.

Yep did that. Doesnt work. The thing is also that I cant change anything. Everytime when I reboot I need to install again. So it doesnt remember. Same when I connect it to the pc and I remove a file from download that I do not need it doesn't remove the file because the next time I reboot its back. It's like the internal is locked?
I can't find a good page with an explanation, so I'll just type it out myself. If anything isn't clear, ask!
You can try getting into recovery mode using the Android SDK, maybe that could work...
Install the latest version of Samsung Kies if you haven't already (for the USB driver)
Install the Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) You'll need just the SDK, everything else is useless for this
Open a command prompt and go to the directory where you have installed the Android SDK (basically you'll run the command cd "<folder>", where folder is something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk")
Start your phone and go to Settings > Applications > Development
Enable USB debugging (if it's not there, just find that option and enable it )
Connect your phone using a USB cable
Go back to your command prompt and run the command tools\adb reboot recovery
Hopefully your phone will boot in recovery mode
Good luck!

Ok so thank you for this but unfortunatly it just didnt work. I think it is dead. Does Jtagg do any difference? Like hook it up to that machine?
So what it does at this moment:
It starts up but everytime you start up it will ask you to install everything again. So it asks what country etc.etc...
When I am in it appears to work but starting apps just makes it all crash or freeze.
Im a bit lost at the moment to do anything. It just looks that it doesnt memorize.
I can hook it up to the pc but you cant remove or add anything. You can just look and scroll through it.
Hello.
I recently installed CM10.1.3 on my GT-I9000 running stock GB. I did everything according to the instructions (though, mind you, this was not my first time installing a ROM just the first time on this device).
When I booted and tried to set up a CM account it gave me a message saying "Insert SIM card". I tried installing the kernel again, as well as installing other ROMs (AOKP mostly).
Nothing seems to work. It will simply not recognize my SIM.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

you can try taking it back to stock ROM , you can follow this but it sounds like you may have hardware problem, if that fails as sim contacts can get broken or damaged too and can be replaced. so best to test with Stock ROM to check if its a software or hardware problem. also try to flash without SIM card and insert after flashing and first boot.

For a clean install and root, flash JVU ROM and its CF_root, as it is easy and problem free. I never had any problem with JVU
The whole procedure is given below
FLASHING JVU ROM WITH ODIN v1.85:
1. Install USB drivers for i9000 on PC (ignore if already installed) and restart computer to take effect
2. Turn off your phone and put it in download mode
by holding VOL DOWN+MENU+POWER
Do you get the Yellow Triangle?..If so
continue..if not do it again...
3. Plug in Phone with USB Cable To Computer.
4. In ID:COM it should go yellow and you should see
ADDED in the message box
5. Check Re-Partition option and then Click PIT
button to select: s1_odin_20100xxx.pit file.
6. Click PDA button and select :
CODE_I9000XXJVU_xxxxx.tar
7. Click PHONE button and select:
MODEM_I9000XXJVU_xxxxx.tar
8. Click CSC button and select:
GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVU.tar
9. When you have all the files needed in ODIN,
Click Start and let it Run
10. Once complete you will see S logo on phone
(computer will make a few noises like connect/
disconnecting
11.Unplug the Cable to the Phone
You will see your phone working excellent. Now it's time for rooting
Procedure for rooting:
1. Power Off Phone
2. Download CF-Root kernel first.
Unzip the file to a folder. You
will get the .tar file – CF-Root-
XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.tar
— inside the extracted folder. DO NOT extract
the .tar file (even if you see it as a zip
file, which it is not). You need to flash
the .tar file using Odin to gain root
access and install the ClockworkMod
Recovery (CWM) alongside. If you’re
getting zimage file, it means you’ve
extracted the .tar file too! — and that’s
not a right thing to do.
3. Boot your phone in Download Mode —
Press and hold volume down+HOME
+POWER keys together.
4. Open Odin now. Connect your phone to PC now. You’ll notice “Added! !” message in the Odin’s message box in the bottom left.
5. On Odin, click the PDA tab and select the .tar file you got in step 2 — CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-
CWM3RFS.tar
6. Make sure “Re-Partition” checkbox is not selected. Leave the “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” checkboxes selected.
7. Click the Start button on Odin to flash the CF-Root kernel. After the CF Root is installed, phone will restart automatically. When you see the PASS written in top left box, you can remove the cable.
8. Your phone is rooted now. That surperuser app is there! The CWM app is also there, and
clockworkmod based recovery has
been installed too. Now you enter the custom ROM world without worries. Enjoy!

I assume you have a software issue, that's why I asked you to revert to Stock ROM after you confirmed the SIM card was not inserted the wrong way round. , only IF the sock ROM also gave you that result than you need to consider hardware, as I have not heard of anyone having this issue after flashing CM 10.
AS for PIT file its in 4Shared site, all they would require is you should be a member and register with them ( you can do that with any name and password) the ROM site is FileRio, there you should only use free download button , clicked a number of times ( same button) for download to begin, both uploads were by me, so its virus free. I will upload pit file to the thread asap as its very small file.
EDIT: already uploaded PIT File to thread uploaded 3 PIT files in a package used for i9000, only use 512

Hey. Thanks again.
One more problem, and it's a big one:
Odin won't respond to my device. No yellow rectangle, or any kind of response...
What can I do to make it realize that it's there?

the guide to solve such problems is right on top (begining) of that thread
Note:- It's assumed that you can and know how to connect your Phone to PC with USB cable . If you do not know, first install Samsung USB drivers on your PC/Laptop, than enable USB debugging on your phone by settings menu>Developer options> tick USB Debugging. After this use only Samsung USB cable and plug it into your phone micro USB port and to your PC USB Port. ( Always use the Back USB port on PC as some ports may not connect well enough for flashing ROM's. )
If unable to connect your phone to PC for any reason, refer to this guide

I tried everything in that guide, and it still the same.
Might be worth noting that the computer totally does recognize the device. I mean, I can access the internal SD from the computer, when the phone is on. It's just that when I connect it in download mode, Odin doesn't respond.
Might also be worth to stress that I used Heimdall to flash the recovery, when I did it. Could it be related to why I can't use Odin now?
And another thing regarding my main issue - could the "Insert SIM" message be a modem thing?
The password for XXJVU is samfirmware.com
If you are still unable to open this, then download XXJVU by Google searching and then try. This is the best way to get rid of the problem.
If you are able to go to download mode, install USB drivers for Samsung and restart PC . Now exit the Kies program and its related services from your PC. If you are using windows, you may find the tray icon and exit by right clicking. Now run Odin and flash.
If you are not able to go to download mode then search "homemade usb jig" and use the jig method described in those threads.
I'm trying to download the XXJVU again. Will see how goes.
I am able to go to download mode. So that's not it. I also don't have Kies installed on my computer, so that's also not it. I installed a few different Samsung drivers, and did the whole process a few times. The computer always recognizes the phone, but Odin doesn't.
I don't get why I can't delete stuff, if I accidentally posted twice. Anyway - feel free to disregard this one. Sorry for spamming..
OK. Managed to open the XXJVU.
Still have the problem with Odin not paying attention to my phone being there. Do you think it might be a problem with dl mode, that I should try fix with a jig (the phone does act LIKE it in dl mode - yellow triangle and all...)?

You seem to be having strange problems. I assume you pressed the correct combo keys ( as shown in image on that thread) and you did not get download mode ( this could be due to ) you don't have an i9000 but a different version of Galaxy S? or your keys are not functioning or you have a wrong bootloader
so use this methods & tool from PC to boot into download mode after you are sure you have an i9000 international version by checking under the battery. just to give you an idea , read this
Odin will only connect when phone is in Download mode, so as you mentioned you have NO problem with drivers and PC, its only your phone not being able to enter download mode.

You assume correctly - I did use the correct combo. And the battery says I have an GT-I9000. I think that's only the int'l version, isn't it?

I will try the ADB solution tomorrow. But doesn't the fact that the phone displays the download mode screen say that it is indeed in that mode? (because it does display it, as I mentioned above). I mean - is it possible that the phone seems like it is in download mode, when it's actually not?
Thanks!

hmm, i got the impression that you are not getting the download mode display , if it does than it is in download mode, so now you need to check your Odin3 download, what version are you using , try and download again and always use fresh Odin3, meaning, if it had a problem or even when no problem restart it a fresh. And best install Samsung USB drivers again ( link on that thread), if that did not solve it.
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.
I tried both versions that from here (i.e. v1.83 and v1.85). I'm not really doing anything else with Odin, so there's nothing to restart.
I also tried uninstalling and installing the drivers a few times, using a few different installation files, and by letting windows figure out on its own which drivers to install.
Non of it changed the result.

this is weird, anyway since heimdall is possible, right? try and download a heimdall rescue kit from MY Android collections and try flashing , if the phone boots you can also install Mobile Odin from playstore to flash stock ROM too.
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.
So I'm thinking of flashing back to stock just to learn/practice with Odin. I've read and watched a few videos/articles but I didn't find anything with 3.10. So as I understand here are the steps I need to take:
1. Put phone in download mode and plug device to pc.
2. Run Odin as admin
3. Select the appropriate 4 files.
4. Hit start and let it flash.
I don't check/uncheck any boxes in the other tabs correct? Are there any steps I'm missing? Thanks.
There are literally hundreds of googleable tutorials on using Odin. That being said, you have the steps right.

Did it wipe data?
Steps in using Odin. Ensure u have Samsung USB drivers installed. Then put phone in download mode. Most phones use the volume down + home key+ power key to enter download mode, if this doesn't work then switch phone on, ensue USB debugging is on and use adb command "adb reboot download" phone will reboot to download mode automatically. Now open Odin and phone should be shown as added in Odin. Then u good to to if u can't see added then u have an issue here with drivers or a bad cable. Once all is sorted and added is seen on Odin, click on the tab u want to select what u flashing , PDA or CSC or bootloader or phone(modem). Then click start to begin flash. For this boxes to select. It depends on what u want. If u using a pit file then repartition will be checked, auto reboot is set checked by default and reset timer is checked by default. You should always read the instruction the file provider includes with the uploaded file , that will give u a good idea of what to check .

So I did a factory reset on my kids tablet and in reverted back to 2.2. I tried to to download the recovery file from the Dev-Host site.
The problem is that each one of those downloads an zip file with an exe file in it (which will try to load a bunch of spam crap on my computer). Anyone have a solution on this or where to find the update file??

I believe there are compatibility issues with windows 8 and fastboot. If you have an xp machine I would use it. Here is a video on setting up fastboot drivers;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Os_U8n9ngY
Here is a link to the fastboot drivers;

Here is a link to setting up fastboot and flashing instructions;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_7/Flashing_Guide#Installing_a_recovery
Here is a link to a video on using fastboot commands (You should only need to flash recovery.img)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIkcALvQmWM
Fastboot command to flash recovery image is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (without quotes) hit enter.
After flash has completed "fastboot reboot" hit enter.
Once you have the recovery I sent via pm flashed, reboot your device into recovery mode and install update.pkg (The .pkg file I set you needs to be renamed update.pkg and placed on the sd card.
I haven't owned this device in awhile but did flash multiple roms/recoveries without issue but I'm going from memory here. You might want to use google and research if your not comfortable with flashing .
Good luck!

Strange, I was able to use XP and Windows 7 with fastboot without issue. Windows 8/8.1 had problems. Do you have any other android device drivers installed that may be interfering? I'm running out of ideas at the moment.

I dont know either. None of the above helps.. all those assume your computer can actually see the tablet in the first place regardless of drivers. The tablet use to acknowledge that the computer is attached as well.
As long as the tablet is working I would tend to go with a computer/driver issue. Try un-installing previous android device drivers (you indicated the computer used to recognize the tablet so there must be drivers installed) and start over. Running out of ideas here.

Not sure about installing drivers or using fastboot on windows 10. You may have to disable signature verification to get the drivers installed. Google search on disabling signature verification should provide instructions to do this. Also, you noted a T-mobile update. The files I pm'd you are for wifi. Do you have the 4G verison? They are different files, let me know which one you have.

Depending which recovery you currently have installed, you may be able to update to a subsequent version of the rom via update.pkg on the sd card. Rename the .pkg file to update.pkg, boot into recovery menu and update via pkg on the SD card. If it won't flash the .pkg file, you will need to flash the corresponding recovery.img via fastboot. Also, which device do you have, WiFi or 4G. I previously sent the WiFi rom, but have the 4G rom if you need it.

I have the Tmobile one which i think is the 4g version. Quick way to check?
I tried installing LG7 -514-21700 via the SD card but that didn't work. If i cannot get fastboot to work the tablet is SOL right?
Right now it is on 15420 (2.2.2) which is usless since i cannot setup a google account or get the market (google play) to work.

Carrier branded would be the 4G variant. You can tell if it has a sim card slot. The WiFi version has a sim card slot, but with a non-removable dummy card in it. I will pm you the 4G rom and recovery.

Be sure and rename the file update.pkg. Also, I just pm'd you the 4G rom. Trying to flash the WiFi rom on a 4G device may fail to install. Also, just reviewing the wiki, it seems that 2.2 was the last T-mobile rom. Not sure if the 4G will flash as the region changed from 33 to 30. Never had the 4G device so not sure.
