Help! I accidentally deleted my OS - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know this is probably the stupidest thing one can do and since I mediocre knowledge about Android stuff I just did that. While I was on CWM recovery mode I was tinkering around the settings and I accidentally deleted the OS, this leaves me soft-bricked (is that the term)? When I boot up on recovery mode again it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." But when I connect it to Kies it doesn't detect the phone! And when I boot up download mode it says I have Custom binaries (it says 3) which I suppose is because I had CWM? I have no idea how I could re-install my OS back to my phone and am panicking since this was my first phone. Is flashing back to stock firmware a viable option if I accidentally deleted my OS? Or so I have to do some other process? Please I am in dire need of assistance here!

Yes just flash back stock firmware with Odin.
That custom binary is probably from the time of GB because root method was increasing it. You can use Triangle away to reset it, it is free on xda.

Do you have any idea which version of Odin can detect the S Advance because one's I have have seem to not detect them at all. Specifically 4.43 3.07 and 1.85. Thanks.

You have Samsung USB drivers installed? If you have kies - kill it in Windows. I used 3.07.

I have kies and I always close it before opening, doesn't appear. Even the switch port thing doesn't. I'm going to try out 3.09. Since I accidentally deleted my OS doesn't that mean Windows won't detect it even if it's on download mode? Sorry I really have no idea what I'm doing. oh yes I have the Drivers installed.

Odin does not have anything to do with system partition, I mean it will work anyway. Do not just close Kies, go to task manager and kill it (in Windows).
P.S. If you have any ROM in your sd card, you can go to CWM and install it. Or if you have some other phone, put SD card in it, copy ROM and install it in CWM.

Gonna use this topic becaus i think i have simmilar problem.
So i rooted my phone and installed sucsesfully a custom rom with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198341

So i do have acces to TWRP but i cant install anything, i get constalty this error:
E: Unable to mount /preload
How can i fix it?
Thanks for help

Problem with connection phone to PC

After i tried to install CyanogenMod, and it doesn't work because of bad first tutorial. I made big mistake, i didn't root my phone and didn't install CMW before installed CyanogenMod. Now I'm stuck in bootloop "Android", i can go to recovery only and i can install or update anything. I want to install original soft by Kies or by Odin, but my phone can't connect with PC. I know that computer see my phone because of automatically install drivers. But when i turn on Kies or Odin, it doesn't connected. Anyone had the same problem or know solution?
Are you able to go to the DOWNLOAD mode ?
If yes, then your pc will detect your device and you can easily flash firmware using ODIN v4.38
Hi crashew!
If you can go to recovery, you can install CWM and then any stock ROM from recovery. That is not exactly what you wanted, but it's easy and you could try it.
If not, Odin is your solution.
Good luck.

My solution is Odin, because when i try root or install CWM it's bootloop too, so i can't install anything by recovery way. But with Odin is problem, that my PC doesn't connecting with phone, I'm sure that PC see phone, because after first time insert the USB, it started install drivers to my phone, but when i try connect phone by Kies or Odin it doesn't work, Odin saying " Please connect your phone!"
So I have problem and I can't solve it.

Is your recovery: recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip? If not you could try installing it from your recovery.

As I wrote above, I didn't root my phone and I didn't install clockwork, I have stock recovery, and on it I can't root my phone, I can't install clockwork or any ROM. Of course I can't turn on my phone properly, I'm stuck in switching and word "ANDROID". Bootloop
Hi crashew!
AFAIK if you can go to stock recovery you can root your phone and then install CWM.
Search in the general section, there are some tutorials for rooting, try and try, eventually one of them will work for you.
Good luck.

odin is the way

Stuck on Philz boot

It's been months since I had the rom 4.2.1 official from samsung with root access. The phone is somehow a lot slower than earlier and I wanted a fresh rom install. I tried to download the latest cyanogen through CWM but it gave me error. I wanted to flash the omni 4.4 kitkat through Philz but it was always giving me an error no file_contexts set_metadata_recursive and aborting installation.
I then had the insane idea of clicking 'factory reset - wipe data' I thought it would bring back to the last rom flashed....but it didn't. Now whatever I do, I go into the philz menu (i have all my data backed up I only worry about putting a fully working and FAST rom, the phone was getting stuck every few seconds).
I can access to philz and I can access to odin. What is your advice? What could I flash next? I also read that kitkat is not running well on the gt n7000....anything recommended for my situation?
******SOLVED
I flashed from Philz 5 with CWM 6.0.3.2 a cyanogen 10.1.3 from the microsd and it worked. I wrote on the microsd from a microsd reader.

odin detects the device on com port, kies detects the phone and I installed the usb drivers. BUT kies stays stuck on 'connecting...'
The only possibilities I have are philz and odin. Device is detected but cannot connect looks like. So I cannot flash anything apparently.
¿Did you try Odin with phone in download mode? Vol- + home + power
Enviado desde mi GT-N7000 usando Tapatalk 4
yes phone is in odin download mode. i connect the phone, kies stuck on 'connecting'. odin on windows find the com port but cannot connect.
If I try to flash .zip files from microsd through philz 5 interface, i get the "set metadata recursive some changes failed" error....followed by 'installation aborted' press any key.
This means I am stuck because I cannot flash stuff with odin from windows, and I cannot install zips on the phone from the phone.

i think something has changed just now. i'll wait till i finish downloading the stock rom to flash with odin and then see what happens.
But actually main question is: why can't i flash a rom with philz? I have put two roms on the microsd (one omnirom and one cyanogen official stable) and I keep getting the installation aborted message

Did you ever consider (in the nearly 5 years of XDA membership) that it might be a good idea to read the installation instructions for the rom you want to install or to search for an error happening to you. If you didn't consider this until now: the time has come to start.
And if you do not like to accept the help members offer it is essential to do these two activities youself.

I read instructions of course....my problem was not related to instructions (although i think my recovery mod was not compatible with the omni rom i was trying to install) and that kies thing was an anomaly. I had to wait till the stock rom finished downloading to reboot (windows asked to reboot after some time....maybe related to the installation of usb drivers but i am not sure).
Finally through Philz I was able to install a cyanogen 10.1.3 from the microsd....why I got the error with those other roms is only part of my ignorance, as I said maybe the recovery i have was not compatible (???)
thanks anyway, if I need odin to recover root access or something I'll follow your instructions in case it still doesn't recognize the connected device.
Of course your problems are related to instructions and not reading/understanding. Because these problems occured many times and were solved and got part of tutorials, q&a etc.
i searched the forum, found a couple thread entitled exactly like mine. I think one of them even had the tag 'solved' in the title. Problem is, who solved the problem never included the solution, so what is the point....And I don't get this aggression, obviously if I have a problem I try everything to fix it. I would read instructions and I also googled a lot to understand why i was getting that error from the recovery zip installation....it is not like I don't try, why wouldn't I want to solve my own problems? Also people were receiving that same error with compatible recovery / roms images....and got around the problem with many tries but I did not find any particular solution written anywhere.

Phone restarts every minute, cannot enter recovery mode, Please help!

As I said, phone is restarting every minute, it cannot enter recovery mode by using 3 buttons. I've tried hard resetting, but whenever I press the button to erase it, it either does nothing or it restarts again. Also whenever I change some of the settings they revert after a restart. I've tried flashing some rooted roms with odin, and it said "pass" but phone still remained the same. I've tried flashing pit files, the three button recovery and all, but still nothing did any good... Is there any way I can fix this? Is there any way to find stock official images and install them without odin, like LG's software update kdz, or HTC official installer files? Is the phone just dead? Please help guys!

Well from what I see, it seems she checked right options. What could possibly go wrong with it? After Odin was done, the phone was exactly the same as before...

Try to install twrp from novafusion by odin without checked 'restart phone'. Then pool out battery, put inside and go to recovery mode. Choose wipe, advanced wipe, choose everything without SdCard and slide button. Next turn off phone.
After this turn on download mode and install stock rom by odin.
If it not help, you have bricked phone.
Try any method but i dont know why you do something with pit file. Its not recommended to do wth this if its not necesary.
Cheers!

I don't think pit file thing did anything because phone just reverted back. By the way phone is running stock it isn't rooted. Shouldn't it be rooted for custom recoveries?

Answered on your question, yes. Because you need full access to operations on your phone. Btw, when you instal twrp and in some part of this recovery you want leave and restart, twrp ask you, did you want root your rom (its clue).
The easiest way to root your stock rom, find thread with prerooted stock rom to install by odin. Its the easiest way.

How can i unbrick my phone? (no usb connection)

I was on NL1 rom, but trynig to use safestrap, i've flashed NC2 kernel.
Because of that my phone doesn't show screen after showing Galaxy note logo.
Everything works fine, but it only doesn't shows screen.
I really want to fix it, but I can't use ODIN to fix my phone.
When i connect it to pc, windows only shows Unknown device(every pc, every cable).
Is there has any way to fix my phone? (using stock recovery... etc).
Can you boot into download mode?
Of course, i can.
But also in Download mode, windows cannot recognize my device. It only says Unknown device.
Wait for pc to install driver completely after booting to download mode is what it sounds like to me. A icon in the windows taskbar tells when it is completed.

Since you flashed the NC2 kernel, restart your phone and see if you see Safestrap splash screen. If you do, then boot to Safestrap and flash this SM-N900A_NL1_KERNEL_RecoveryFlashable.zip https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891595 from your Sd Card.

Put your phone in download mode and connect it to your computer wait for it to say, unknown device and click the Start icon and type device manager, click to open it and right click to uninstall the drivers (mine shows Bluetooth, but your' s should say unknown device). After you uninstall them, restart your computer and see if that fixes the problem. After you flashed the NC2 Kernel, did you wipe anything in Safestrap or in Stock recovery?

What it needs to boot right, is the NL1 kernel, but Safestrap is gone since you did a wipe with stock recovery. You can't get a computer to see your phone, so you can't flash the kernel in Odin either. Only thing I know to do is do a wipe/factory reset, then do a wipe cache partition in stock recovery. After you do that, see if it boots and if it don't you would have to put this on your Sd Card and apply update from external storage in stock recovery. Instructions to Flash the Lollipop OTA http://www.droidviews.com/update-att-note-3-with-lollipop-ota-and-root-it/. You only need the one file. BUT if you can't use your usb port, you will be stuck on non rooted lollipop. This will either pass or fail, but you can try to flash the NL1 kernel with stock recovery SM-N900A_NL1_KERNEL_RecoveryFlashable.zip (link in post #7).

I think you need a custom recovery installed such as TWRP to disable dm-verity, but don't quote me on it.

I think your problem is that you're not on the stock rom and you're trying to use the stock recovery... dm_verity goes hand in hand with the official rom, you can see this if you go into download mode, you would see binary would say something like "samsung official" system status would say something like "original" or "official". You can find this in smart switch > more > emergency software recovery and initialization > device initialization.
Why is using TWRP not possible? Please elaborate, what rom are you running? I think 3rd party recovery is necessary to bypass this issue in all cases when using unofficial rom.
I would suggest initializing your device via smart switch, make sure to back up everything if you can as it will be lost, however, I think that it should resolve the issue entirely. Initialization if you can't boot into stock rom, you will need to enter download mode and in smart switch type the model number and then the serial number, it should initiate then.
You could try waiting for someone who knows their stuff, but initialization via smart switch (not just the image pulled from sammobile which leaves some files out) is probably the way to go, IMO. I'm just a novice, but I'm the only one that's replied, so hopefully some others can chime in and say if I'm giving you bad advice.

You will always fail dm-verity in stock recovery on a modified device.
It's pointless trying to OTA on a modified device. It will fail.
To update you need to flash the stock firmware with odin in DOWNLOAD mode not RECOVERY.

I would suggest initializing your device via smart switch, make sure to back up everything if you can as it will be lost, however, I think that it should resolve the issue entirely. Initialization if you can't boot into stock rom, you will need to enter download mode and in smart switch type the model number and then the serial number, it should initiate then.
You could try waiting for someone who knows their stuff, but initialization via smart switch (not just the image pulled from sammobile which leaves some files out) is probably the way to go, IMO. I'm just a novice, but I'm the only one that's replied, so hopefully some others can chime in and say if I'm giving you bad advice.

Then use flashfire to install the stock rom. It will install everything except the bootloader.

You don't need a PC. Just install supersu with twrp.

Then there's nothing you can do. You either need root, twrp or odin.
I have a similar problem, dm+verity verification failed in stock recovery but I have not rooted or installed any other firmware.
So my questions are
1. Has someone else installed it without my knowledge?
2. Has someone installed something through adb sideload without my knowledge?
3. Have i deleted something I shouldnt have?
4. When i go into stock recovery and before i choose what to such as "recovery logs" if i hold down the home/finger print button for about 2 secs the highlighted colour changes from blue to green, is this normal?
Thanks in advance
