Hi,
Ive just re flash a Samsung official firmware to my Note, ver 4.1.2. Then later after a short while, Ive decided to re-flash with another release same v 4.1.2. I am able to flash it like always using Odin but after rebooting I was back to the old ROM with previous setting still intact. Tried a couple more time but stil the same. Tried with a third release still gave me the same result.
This is my first time having this issue, re-flash via odin but the original ROM remains with the same setting although flash was successful.
Appreciate if anyone can help. Thanks.
What do you mean by old rom remains? Did you go to settings and check if the build number if the rom changed? The settings of the old rom will be retained when flashing a JB rom as it will not wipe data.

Can´t flash a CustomROM from my SDcard through CWM
I was able to connect my phone to the PC. ADB finds the phone but adb shell won´t work. (No such file or directory <2>)
How can I install either a regular Androidversion or a CustomROM now.
found this but only for Galaxy S3, so the files won´t help me

Download a Stock Rom from sammobile.com or one of the prerooted Roms (I always use a GB LC1 from bodivas for this) and install it with the PC version of Odin.
tried that, Odin stops at "NAND write start!!"
AW: Softbrick N7000 Need Help
What Rom did you have and what did you do before this happened?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Now I used a regular Android 4.0.4. ROM
Before that I tried with a 2.3.1 ROM. This is probably the reason for the trouble, isn´t it?

I wrote to download a new rom and to try it with Odin. 15 min later you said: did this.
So I want to ask: Did you really download a new Rom or did you use one you had already?
And what Rom exactly?
And what did you do before stopping at boot logo?

I was already downloading the 4.0.4. ROM. Because I read somewhere it´s not possible to go from ICS to Gingerbread.
The download just finished right after you answered and I tried. I am 100% sure i got the right ROM.
Before getting all these Problems, I wanted to get a CustomROM on my phone. Android 4.0.4 was installed at that point of time.
I rooted my phone and did a backup with CWM. Then i chose wipe data, while doing that I started to charge my phone (I don´t know if that matters). I didn´t see what happen exactly because i wasn´t looking at my phone all the time, but when i looked at it again there was only the charging sign shown. Then I tried to get into recoverymode again. This wouldn´t work. I tried to flash CWM with Odin which worked after some time. Then I tried to Wipe data and cache again. wipe data wouldn´t work. Wipe cache worked. I tried to install the backup. After waiting for more then 1 hour it looked like nothing happend and the installation was stuck. But the regular recovery of Android was installed.
Because flashing a ROM through CWM wouldn´t work, I tried to flash it through Odin. First time I tried with a Gingerbread Version. I was thinking, I don´t care which version as long as it works and try again to install a CustomROM from there on. Odin stopped at NAND Write Start!!. Tried it with the ICS Stock version. Same thing.
This is where I am at now
Did you use cwm.zip?
To use with Odin? No
When I started it from the regular Android Recoverymode? Yes
Don´t you think this might be exactly the problem I have?

Hello everyone.
I just got my dad's old Galaxy not n7000. It had android ICS 4.0.3 on it.
I wanted to install a custom rom, so i rooted and installed one, but it got stuck on boot loop, though i followed all steps properly.
I restored back to the stock 4.0.3 using odin. After restoring, the lock screen would not show, nor would it detect my sim card. i couldn't fix it in the phone options. I googled the problem and it told me to check my imei. My phone didn't have one. I decided to try and install another custom rom, but it didn't work, went into bootloop again. I tried another, same thing. So i decided i would just update my phone to the official 4.1.2 update released in UK using odin.
but again went into bootloop. i restored it to 4.0.3 and it worked. However, when i went into recovery while in 4.1.2, a red error showed saying :failed to mount /efs.
Something is seriously wrong and i need help.
Thanks in advance.
Also I should note that, couple of years ago, there was an official update released by samsung, but that too made the phone go into a boot loop. we had to recover it using odin.
Hello, I have been trying to flash for 2 days now but still couldn't get it working.
Initially, my I9305 is running on stock without root. I wanted to root it and then install recovery and ROM.
And so I prepare the necessary files, and start to flash.
I used CF-Auto-Root to root my device first, then got Resurrection ROM and Gapps to flash.
Then I started to get some issue, as it always fail. Error message like no file context and so on. So I read online resources, and found out that I had a older version of TWRP installed which may cause the install.
I then tried to upgrade TWRP but it doesn't allow me to. No choice, I had to flash philz touch, and I did.
I then tried to flash Resurrection again, boot up, and it keep giving me bootloop. After which I downloaded nameless ROM, and CM11 but same issue.
Yesterday night, I downloaded the stock firmware to try. I flashed it, and it is successful based on ODIN, but it still won't boot up.
I just tried it again and it stuck on the Samsung logo screen.
Can anyone tell me what else to do? What I have to do?
This is the stock firmware that I have downloaded and flash - I9305XXUENH1_I9305EVRENH1_EVR.
Let me know what other information I have to provide.
Thanks!
Here's the Download mode information.
Custom binary count: 9 counts
Current binary: samsung offical
System status: custom
Knox void: 1
RP SWREV: A2
Update: 16/1
I just tried to go into my recovery mode and apparently, it has been changed back to stock recovery which I assume is because I have flashed the stock firmware.
I am trying it yet again after wiping in stock recovery, to flash the stock firmware again now.
P.S: I have posted it in http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help-i9305/qa-samsung-galaxy-s3-lte-roms-kernels-t2999494 but no reply. So trying my luck here.
Ok, this is funny. I waited for 2-3 days before posting here for help. And it doesn't work for all those days.
Now that I just posted, it finally worked. I am getting into the setup screen.
Anyway, for those people who may have the same issue as me in the future, try to wipe everything after flash to stock firmware. then flash stock firmware again.
After flash
It's a good call,as per your last post,to wipe data and factory reset after a flash and even a second install.Need to give time for changes to occur.Don' go too fast.HTH.
Anyone have any thoughts on what might be going on with my note? i was coming from tekxodus rom back to a stock firmware and now i cant seem to get out of this bootloop. i downloaded firmware and flashed it using odin... it passed. then just goes from samsung note 4 logo to samsung circle logo to tmobile freezes for 3 minutes then repeats. Its odd
That happened to me as well. I had forgotten to turn on OEM unlock. Pull battery and renter download mode. Use Odin to reinstall TWRP then restore a backup. Turn on OEM unlock and then flash the firmware again with Odin
i happened to me going from cog2 to dok2. i was not planning to stay unrooted on stock.
i pulled battery.. flashed twrp... pulled battery... then flashed a rooted rom and all was well with the world.
i assumed it was because i did not unroot and do full internal wipe.. but then as i was mostly just updating baseband i did not do any further troubleshooting
Ok im going to flash old one unlock oem and get back to you guys
didnt work tried two roms on 5.1.1 both didnt have oem unlock inside developer options so weird. then i when to twrp hit factory reset then flashed firmware and that worked. im glad i lucked out with that method weird how you have to factory reset to flash an entirely new firmware you would think the script running would do that.
Glad you got it working. I thought Odin wiped everything including internal storage but it did not. When I flashed the stock firmware I still had my settings and storage was untouched. Not what I remember from my Note 3 days
hello, so i have a SM-N950F/DS and i had a cotum rom (Dr.Ketan ROM p11) for a year i think, so i want to update it with a new version. i try to flash a clean updated rom from Dr.Ketan but twrp failed (boot loop). then i tried to flash an android 10 rom (LineageOS 17.1) thad one work, but i lost my imei. so i decided to give up and restore my backup from my fist rom. and then the misery started. twrp failed to restore the back up. so i go to option 2 flash a clean stock rom with odin. the pc part work odin shows pass but my phone doesn't get any further than the bootlogo (the one that shows samsung note 8). and it does that with everyting now any costum stock rom and stock rom. and with a android 10 rom i get error 7 in twrp. i dont know what to do next.
i can enter download mode and recovery and flashing twrp after stock rom works too. i have treid various of stock fw from sammobile, Frija and updato
i also treid 2 difrend versions of fwrp (3.1.1-0 and 3.140-0)
edit: after looking carfuly what the phone does after flashing stock fw, I noticed that the phone say installing systeem update 32% and then starts erasing.
