[Q] Quick help? Friend (maybe?) bricked his N910T while trying flash. - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I root my phones, my friend doesn't. I think he wiped the rom instead of installing it, and I haven't touched a samsung since my galaxy nexus. I downloaded and installed odin, kies and the white n4 drivers to be safe, and I just need to know what to do from here to fix and finish, hope it's not a hard brick :fingers-crossed:
When I power it on, the screen shows:
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N910T
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
REACTIVATION LOCK(KK): OFF
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 (4)
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLE
UDC START
And under that the text says:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select the recovery mode in Kies & try again.
Any help would be dope.

So. It looks like your friend was in the midst of an ota while a custom rom was on the device??.? bad... look on google for the exact stock odin rom that matches your device. Install odin on your pc version 3.07.
Put the phone into download mode.. (pull battery put battery back in hold power home vol up.
Plug the phone into the pc. Start odin. Youll see a yellow com port highlited. Extract the stock odin file youll get a tar extracted from the file. If you dont see a yellow com port highlited on your pc. Install samsung usb drivers.. hit pda in odin navigate to were you extracted the stoxk odin file youll see a :TAR file click on that it will load in the pda slot.. note: it may take a minute to load... when its loaded hit start....
Wait till phone reboots ......
Done.... MAKE SURE THE STOCK ODIN IS A 100% MATCH MODEL AND CARRIER..
good luck...
Ps.. no more friends doing work on your celly ok???? Lol.

Ha, thanks for the help, i'm gonna try it right now. But seriously, it's his phone. I'm rocking old Paranoid Android on my LG G2(it's legacy, and nobody compiling for d801). I don't really like Sammy since Knox.

Need Help, Bricked SM-T900

I bricked my SM-T900 Wifi while attempting to root it. Can anyone help me get it un-bricked?
Here's a step by step list of what I did and what happened:
1. Turned on USB debugging mode
2. Downloaded and installed Samsung kies
3. Downloaded the file for SM-T900 from autoroot [dot] chainfire [dot] eu/ (it won't let me post outside links)
4. Turn off tablet, get into custom firmware installation mode by holding power, volume-, and home, then confirm the warning
5. run Odin (v3.07, came in the zip file)
6. plug in tablet, tablet showed up as a com port but did NOT show any other information. I don't know if it was supposed to show anything else but I hadn't though about that at the time.
7. Clicked on PDA and selected the file CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5
8. Clicked start
9. Waited, it said it was doing something with cache, I don't recall exactly what it said
10. after about 3 minutes the screen looked wrong, all the pixels were different colors, (rainbow static?)
11. Waited about 10 minutes just in case that was not a sign of failure, then Odin reported that it failed.
Now when I press the power button, I get the screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
I tried using that in Kies but Kies can't connect to my tablet any more. When I try to use Odin using the recovery with power, vol-, home, it detects that I plugged it in but when I try to click start it fails and nothing happens.
I have exact the same problem.
I have read many articles, who said it was easy to root.
That's not true !!!!.
Maybe because the tablet became an update today ?
What I did to recover the tablet: (phew !!!)
Download this bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2591013&d=1392923580
Connect to Odin and flash it.
A few seconds, it says OK, reboots and voila: there's your tablet again revived !!!!.

Unfortunately Odin fails before it manages to even connect to my tablet so I'm not sure it will work for me but I'll give it a try. It managed to connect before when I tried to flash the root files but now it fails every time. I'll update this when I get home and try flashing that.
Edit:
Got home, tried your fix. I am happy to report it worked and it only took a few seconds. Thanks!
Edit:
To anyone reading this thread, if you tried rooting your SM-T900 using the SM-T900 files for rooting, try using the SM-P900 files instead! I just tried that and it seems to be working fine.
I'm glad I could help. :good:
It's bad for your heart when you see that your expensive tablet is bricked.
Hello everyone. Where do I flash the bootloader in odin? Do I use PDA or Bootloader and do I need to check the bootloader update box? Just wanted to confirm before further messing up my tablet. Thanks!
Edit: Never mind, figured it out. Thanks for the help!
This method just worked for me. Flashed the bootloader with Odin after getting "stuck" and it booted right up.

What did you do exactly to fix it? I'm having the same issue. Just sits at screen and says:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SM-T900
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Official
KNOX Warranty Void: 1
RP SWREV: A1
How do you use that recovery.img file?
For the top most problem flash cwm or TWRP recovery through Odin or through recovery mode then boot into cwm or TWRP recovery delete all files and install a supported rom.
If u want full explained steps mail me

it's 2022 & my T900 finally went into bootloop in model logo, does anyone know the real reason for this? is it hardware or software problem?
- I can flash any version via odin but still bootloops
- TWRP worked once after that can't get in anymore
- the only button working is for the download mode PWR + Vol Down
- before all this LED Stayed on until batt drained then bootloops
it's a good tab to watch movie while on a treadmill

[Q] Help Note 4 Bricked - Binary Blocked by Reactivation Lock & Boot Loops

I rooted my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 early last week using Odin v3.09 and cf auto root and flashed TWRP recovery using Odin. I disabled Knox as SuperSU suggested, and I created a back up after root. Saturday I flashed Dynamic Kat v 3.0, and go everything set up the way I wanted it. I didn't mess with any of the security settings, other than setting a pin for the lockscreen. This morning I rebooted into recovery to create a back up, but instead of going to recovery, I got a black screen with an exclamation point and an error message saying Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock. Secure Fail: Recovery that would just keep looping when I tried to restart it. I tried pulling the battery and restarting, but still had the same message at restart. I then tried to run odin and cf autoroot again, but got the same message and Odin said that it failed. Now the phone just keeps boot looping on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 powered by android screen.
If I go to the download mode the top of the screen says:
Odin Mode (High Speed)
Product Name: SM-N910T
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: : Custom
Reactivation Lock(KK): On
Knox Warranty Void: 0x1 (4)
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable (CSB)

How can I fix this, what can I do?

Yea, I followed the steps posted in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486564&page=2
1. download KIES 3 (for note 4)
2. Click tools>Firmware upgrade and initialization
3. Put phone into download mode (press Volume down+Home Button+Power Button and then volume up)
4. Connect your phone (it is OK if it is not recognized by KIES, just keep it connected)
5. Now do as it says by typing in your Phone model number (check the battery compartment).
6. Type in the S/N.
7. Let it do its business and download the firmware.
8. Once firmware is downloaded, It will start communicating with the phone.
9. You can see a blue progress line on the screen under the android guy.
10. Let it finish and restart.
You will have to re-root after this.

Thanks for all your help brotha. Kies wasn't working for me. I used odin to flash cf root and pulled battery and started into download mode pressed down to cancel and it boot up for me. I flashed Dynamic kat and checked off Reactivation Lock. That's why it did that to me for people with further problems.

Try entering the model number and S/N and pressing Ok before connecting the phone, or double check to make sure 0s aren't Os or vice versa. It took a minute or 2 to get started on my phone, and took awhile to complete.

This happened to me before and this is what i did. Easier than messing kies I think. Flash cf auto root in odin with the reset and auto reboot unchecked. Very important to uncheck those. It will fail to flash. Pull out your battery and put back in. It will boot as normal. Now go into security and uncheck that reactivate crap. That feature should be disabled completely custom roms to prevent this occurance i think.

I agree, it wasn't checked by default when I rooted the phone, nor when I flashed another ROM, so I didn't even think to check when I flashed Dynamic Kat, but I'll be double checking gem here on out.

Hi, Im in the same boat, locked out, etc, I am trying kies where I dump the s/n in etc, it downloads the firmware, sees the phone then crashes, same with ODIN, the blue bar underneath the android man, starts but locks up. Does not go anywhere and freezes the phone. I have to take the battery out or leave Kies to give me an error. Any idea?

Odin flash cf autoroot, it will fail but once it restarts it will boot up to your android screen,
also you can Odin flash the full firmware, but then u need to odin flash twrp again and root.

[Q] Stuck at boot loop.

I have a SM-G925V I'm trying to recover. Currently it's only able to get to download mode (Power - Home - Volume Down) and maintenance mode (Power - Volume Up - Volume Down). When you power it on you see the first splash screen then reboots over and over. Unable to get to recovery mode at all (Power - Home - Volume Up).
In download mode, using this I can get Odin 3.10.6 to successfully flash the firmware from the same thread and when it reboots it boot loops again. Also, tried the firmware from this thread.
I also tried using Odin 3.07 and 3.09. Both of these versions get stuck at <ID:0/005> NAND Write Start!! with the box at the top saying "Set Partition". Both versions will however, let you re-partition using the .pit file located in the first thread linked.
In maintenance mode, all of the options instantly reboot the phone and start the boot loop again.
Samsung's Smart Switch says "Unsupported device".
The screen shows this in download mode:
Code:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G925V
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
Secure Download: Enabled
AP SWREV: 1
Kernel AP SWREV: 1
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, pretty much willing to try anything at this point. I should also mention I did everything above on 2 separate computers, both running Windows 7 Pro and 2 different cables, cause that's always the problem right?

Downloaded OE2 from sammobile. Same result.
Side note: It doesn't have a .pit file. Do they normally come with one stock? I'd like to try another .pit file and see if I can get Smart Switch to recognize the phone again.

Yes I thought the firmware package included the partition table, but I could be wrong. I can't seem to find any .pit file for our variant on its own.
I am still curious to know what caused it in the first place, as it sounds like everything you have tried should have worked. Other than flashing the wrong variant firmware in Odin, or a corrupt .tar, I wonder how that could have caused a bootloop. And even then, if you can get into download mode, the correct full Odin package (as you tried) should have fixed it. Tried other comps, check. Tried other cables, check. Did you make sure you were plugged into primary USB ports? Did you check the md5s of the Odin packages?
I'll let you know if I run into a standalone .pit file, otherwise I am sorry I couldn't be of more help. Keep us posted though.

At the start of this, I did run into a USB problem. I couldn't flash at all on my desktop from my USB 3.0 front header. Works on the 2.0 front header and all of the motherboard headers. So I ruled that out by accident at least. The MD5s check out. I'm going to keep searching for a pit file that goes with the OE2, or at least find out why it's not in the firmware from sammobile. Know another source for OE2?
Without another partition file or firmware I can flash from Odin, some social engineering with the Verizon store may be the next step.

Bricked Note 4, User Death Imminent

Hello.
So, I rooted my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 4. It went flawlessly. I flashed TWRP and rooted it without a hitch. Now fast forward a few months, to today. I decide to restart my phone again. Nothing has changed, except that my "helpful" antivirus "conveniently" turned off USB Debugging. I restart it and it brings up a screen. It has a "caution" sign with the exclamation mark. Some text is there as well, saying:
Custom binary blocked by FRP.
SECURE FAIL: KERNEL
Granted, I was upset. My phone won't boot up. I've tried booting into TWRP, but the same screen appears. I can't use Odin because USB Debugging was forcibly shut off by my antivirus.
If I don't have my cell phone, I will struggle in school, as the only other device I have is this laptop which has no working battery and runs on outlet power alone. I don't have the money to purchase a new device, and I feel like I'm out of options, so if I don't get some help, I'm a dead man. If anyone could help, I'd be very grateful. On the Odin Mode screen, info is as follows:
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)

Did you try to use Odin to reflash twrp or the stock firmware? You dont need usb debugging on to reflash stock firmware. If you were on stock, i would just reflash with Odin, tuen on usb debugging and reroot. If u were on custom rom, you might have to odin back to stock, and then do factory reset from recovery.

FRP is referring to "Factory Reset Protection" , that means you had the Samsung Reactivation Lock turned on and the phone detected a change in the software preventing it from booting up. Now there are two ways to get the phone back up, first try going into download mode (Holding power button+volume down) then restart it by holding down power+volume up) if by chance this doesn't work then the other option would be to use odin and reinstalling the stock rom but it would need to be the same version currently installed.

How would one install a ROM directly from Odin? I know how to do it from the recovery, but I can't access it.
EDIT: After more research and a helpful PM, I am using Kies to wipe everything and restore the stock ROM.
EDIT 2: Success! After resetting using Kies, I was able to reflash TWRP and get rooted again. Thanks to everyone who helped.

No. You should have used ODIN (from your desktop / laptop PC) to restore a stock ROM so that you could have kept your data

I had attempted to do restore the stock ROM, and I recieved the same error as with reflashing the recovery.
I restored to stock with Keis, then flashed TWRP, re-rooted, and installed a new ROM. I then restored my important data (contacts, app info, etc.) from a Titanium Backup on a microSD.
And don't turn on factory reset protection. Useful for casual users who don't root and install cudtom ROMs, but a real problem for those who do.
I believe there is a null/dummy ODIN file floating around you can flash in Odin that will clear that message and get it to boot again.
You're getting it because your lock is on and it's trying to flash something, and will continue to try every time you reboot, there doesn't seem to be a way for it to clear itself after unsuccessful attempts.
edit: pretty sure this is the one I used, but I'd recommend doing your own research before blindly taking my advice:

What is a good way to get that same protection that for a rooted/custom rom user?

I am wondering if there are security app made for rooted devices to prevent a thief from stealing flashing or getting sensitive information in the device.
Is there a way to disable the FRP so it doesn't accidentally get turned on?

Can someone help me with a bricked 920A?

hello all, I have a bricked sm-g920A I bought second hand, I managed to get it into download mode via a usb jig, Is it possible to create a .tar I can flash in odin to get me directly to recovery mode, the usual button combination will not work, or if its possible a .tar that can allow usb debugging. I know its asking for alot but any feedback would be great
the phone is samsung account locked and it has the current firmware 7.0 (RC1)
the brick is a black screen with a solid white led. I reflashed current firmware with the pit file, but still no recovery mode
