[Solution] HC 3.1 OTA Difficulties 13% + Stock ODIN

Here's a solution that worked for me
Flash the below with ODIN (thanks to bonzai3558), extract the .md5 file from the zip, and in odin choose PDA and point to that file, keep everything else blank/default. Connect Tab with USB (after it is in download mode by power on +Volume down then volume up, so it shows the yellow android with shovel) then hit Start.
this ODIN version: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DDN6BYB2
and this pda md5: http://www.mediafire.com/?gcenefqc3khcc0c
Now when you check for OTA once your back up, itll work fine and get past 13% and go all the way (it is normal for it to stay a long time on 76%)
Best of all tablet is ROOTED
so this odin file is surely stock (and plays nice with the OTA update)
-PS: This odin file also will save your device if it is bricked or frozen (boot into download mode) power button + volume down button, then press volume up to select
*thanks pershoot for help as well

Work in the v model ?
Thanks

this version of odin isn't seeing my tab. I have the samsung drivers installed. :/ But it still says unknown device when I go into fastboot mode and odin doesn't see it
edit: not sure what it is, my gigabyte mother board seems to hate samsung android devices. Worked like a champ with my wife's laptop. Thanks!

Does this work with retail 10.1?

SS2006, you are awesome! Thanks for posting this. I flashed recovery.img, flashed boot.img, and restored all the original apps from the system dump, but I was still stuck at 13%.
Was totally WTF...?
Then saw this thread. FLashed the zip file, and BOOM. Software update success!
Pershoot is the man!

Anyone tried this on the v model?

Does this work on retail 10.1 tab
Can we odin back to stock with this image if we have the retail tab? Can we replace the retail bootloader with the I/O bootloader?

doesn't work on retail with that ver. of odin (and trying to flash in a tar'fyed cwm).
either it too is locked, or there is another means of interacting with it.
ill kep my eyes peeled for retail.

So I did this to a retail locked 16gb. I get force close messages like crazy now. Any idea on how to get back to stock?

I tried this after an adb reboot,,, sent me into a boot loop and it did not clear it up so i did it the old fashoin way, hopefully can get it to work later would def help!

This saved my LE I/O SGT! Was stuck in boot loop; couldn't connect with adb or fastboot, but could get into ODIN download mode. After flashing a couple other versions that either didn't work or had other issues (no USB, accelerometer, etc), I finally found this thread. Flashed this PDA and now I'm back up and running!
However, I had already messed up my bootloader. I flashed it with this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1083517 which is from the 10.1v retail edition. Now when I try to do the 3.1 OTA update, it won't boot into update mode. It fails and says to try doing the update with Kies. Do you have a bootloader that I can flash with ODIN for this same PDA version?

It did same for me, when i tried to do OTA update, it says failed to update and try to update with kies. I ended up factory resetting the device. Its still rooted and now I am trying to update again. Hopefully it works this time. For some reasons I can't launch any apps. They are all crashing. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Any luck? I haven't had the app crashing problem, but it seems pretty common from reading around the forums.
I was able to install Kies and get it to recognize my tab (had to disable USB debugging first), however, it gives me the following message: "This version of the device cannot be updated." So, it seems I am still unable to get the HC 3.1 update... Anyone have a solution? I still think the original ODIN flashable bootloader from the same PDA as the OP might do the trick for OTA updates... Just not sure where to find it.
FWIW: Kies reports my current firmware version as: PDA:KE3 / CSC:KE3 (XAR)

It doesn't work for me either. I get the same error and when I tried to do OTA update, it reboots after the download saying it couldn't be updated. I think we need PDA with 3.1.
I haven't been able to use anything on my tablet. every app running in the background crashes and theres. I did system reset and factory reset but no luck.
Any help would be really appreciated.

SS2006, you are a god send! I was in a boot-loop somehow on my Android 3.1 10.1v after trying out the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130574 thread..
Flashed with this ODIN package (that is Android 3.01) and did the successful upgrade back to 3.1! Sweet!
So does anyone have more details on these ODIN packages and how they are setup?

odin is crashing es soon as i open it, anybody having the same problem?
update: nevermind, im using odin 1.82 and now im rooting my tab.

hey i got a stupid question:
i got tab 10.1 P7500 already on 3.1 HC
can i just flash the root exploit? using stock recovery?
just wanna make sure before i did something stupidly irreversible.
EDIT:
for those of you on locked 3.1 P7500 (indonesian edition) you can just skip the Odin flashing and directly place the root exploit to your root sd and then apply the update (just tried it and it works) i have root now.. moving on to CWM

bricked....

Hi so I was trying to use CF to root my phone and ended up screwing it somehow and bricked. I thought I'd followed the instructions well enough but I obviously did something wrong. Now my phone is stuck saying it needs to recover with Kies. This is my first Samsung phone but I'm not new to Android.
I tried installing the stock firmware through ODIN but everytime I flash it gets to installing the system ext4 and fails. I also wasn't able to recover using Kies(not even sure how you use it tbh).
If anyone could help me it would be mucho appreciated. I'm pretty pissed at myself right now.

Your phone is NOT bricked. If it was the screen would not even go on.
Have you tried going into recovery mode (VolumeUP/VolDown/PowerButton)
and once in Recovery Mode do a factory reset or Data Reset forgot what the
exact wording is in the stock recovery.
If you flashed twrp recovery it's ok too, just select "factory reset".
After doing that the phone should no longer display anything about Kies.
If you get to the twrp recovery screen you should be able to flash a stock
rooted rom without any issues.
If all you get is the stock recovery screen then you should be able to odin
flash the official Samsung Note 4 kitkat 4.4.4 NJ7 firmware which you may
need to download the firmware from http://SamMobile.com if you don't
already have it. (be sure you have the correct firmware for the Note 4 N910T).
Be 100% sure that the phone is FULLY POWERED DOWN before going
into Download Mode to avoid odin errors and issues.
Good luck!

Thanks man. I had tried Odin at my office and nothing doing.
Got home took my time and was real calm about things and voila. May have been an md5 issue with the firmware file. Just relieved I didn't have to RMA it.

Can you check for the file with md5 before you flash from your phone? I forgot where to dig for this info.
All I I have done before is on my cook rom file, I just open it with WinRAR and test for error. If no error, then its good.

On my Home PC I have a program that will put a check mark next to a file if it matches the md5. I also have Winrar at home.
I was just using the default Windows zip program and I have had problems with that and installers/roms in the past.
The only other things I did different were I removed the SD card and installed the drivers before plugging my phone in instead of letting Windows download them automatically.
I also removed the battery after I left work so it was out of the phone for a couple of hours.
The final thing I did was calm down lol after the initial shock of seeing a softbricked screen on my brand new phone.
I'm all rooted now with TWRP and running Hyperdrive so it's all smooth sailing from this point forward.

You should check md5 on phone once you done transferred to phone from PC

[Q] Hard bricked S6 Help plz!

I rooted the S6 using cf auto root. I'm not quite a noob but please forgive my ignorance. I installed twrp and had been using the XtreStoLite rom for about a week. I was selling the phone so I wanted to reflash the rom so he could run through the setup him self. There were no problems flashing the rom. It was up and running. I was installing apps and the phone froze. I held down the power until it restarted. Now it is in an endless loop. The Galaxy S6 powered by android splash screen appears but it reloops before the Samsung splash screen appears. I can get the phone into download mode and I've tried to reflash the stock firmware, bootloader, stock recovery, everything. Odin recognizes the phone and it looks like it is working but as soon as it gets to NAND write it fails. I've been told it appears like the recovery partition was erased. I've used andnew versions of odin. My friend who knows a bit more than me tried backing up my working S6's efs and copying it to the bricked phone. He even did some stuff with my pit file. I'm at a total loss. I would send it back to Samsung but the phone is blacklisted by T-mobile and I don't want them to repo it. Any help is greatly appreciated and I would happily make a donation to anyone who can help me.

I guess I'll be the bearer of bad news here... You're screwed... Most likely. There is, however, a 0.0001% chance you can find someone who can make a copy or port of their recovery partition and TRY to put it on your device. This seems like a long shot, but it may be your only bet.
Don't count on this, as I have never personally seen it done before.

Try flashing unikernel v8 again inside twrp I bet it boots.
Side note never ever Advance wipe INTERNAL MEMORY
You'll wipe your internal memory backups the whole Firmware and even your boot.

I didn't read it all that you attempted Odin...
KEEP IN MIND
You have to odin the same firmware build you had on it stock So if it was OJC build YOU have to use Ojc You cannot go from a newer 5.1.1 build to one earlier anymore So try the latest build OJC
It won't fail I bet .

Duh. ???
Pp.

I have the same problem and when i turn to the download mode is written another model. I have tried several steps in odin came back failed. Anyone can help please support me.....

What's on the boot screen? If it says FRP Locked or something similar, you need to go into download mode (if possible), connect to ODIN and flash the stock ROM from Sammobile.com. It will flash the stock kernel, ROM, etc. DO NOT reboot your phone. Go to your settings, unlock developer options, and toggle OEM Unlock OFF. Then you can reboot your phone and attempt rooting again.

literally same **** happened to me homie
just did this ****

das youtube btw

Tmobile bricks the phone once someone black lists it and if you flash stock firmware...... always have custom rom installed and disable all network bands on dialer *#2263#

Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge stuck on boot logo

Hello,
I have a Verizon S6 Edge, that I need help with. My phone was working fine and yesterday, all of a sudden it turned on, and is now stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Powered by android" screen. It does not go past that. I can't even turn the phone off. I just have to wait for it to die. The phone has never been rooted and I've always just done OTA updates on it. I went to a local Best Buy to get it reflashed with the latest firmware but that still hasn't fixed it. I cannot access the recovery menu, only the download mode. I can also access maintenance mode which gives the option for Normal Boot, factory reset, safe mode, and USB Debugging. I have tried all those options but nothing different happens. I have downloaded the latest firmware from XDA and tried to flash it with ODIN and nothing happened there either. Any help is appreciated, I just don't want to throw my phone away. (I bought it last August)
Thanks!

I have the same problem, but i live in Mx and i can't find the stock rom anywhere. I hope someone can help us.

Hey, sorry to hear you're having issues.
Have you tried contacting Verizon or Samsung support yet?

did you by chance use a pit file for odin as well as a full tar?
you could have messed up the partitions..
try to repartition it using odin or you can always try samsung smart switch emergency repair option etc.

I didn't use any PIT files or anything. I just downloaded the stock OK7 firmware and put that in AP on odin, plugged my phone in under download mode and the update seems to go through fine but it still just boot loops. Doesn't go past the Galaxy S6 Edge screen. However, when I did that, there is now a padlock on my screen when it boots up and it also says custom under it and system status also says custom.

something is not right then.. check the download md5 and what odin version you running?
custom padlock should go away after fresh install of a full odin tar which should be ~1.9gb zip before extracting it

soft-bricked odin passes same result

so i recently got a note 3 from a friend to fix for her. it boots to the samsung logo then vibrates and reboots over and over, recovery just says "booting recovery" then it goes blank and reboots to the same booting recovery screen, shes doesnt know what version it had prior to bricking. she said one day it was working then turned off and never back on again, the odin mode screen had a2, a3 on it ill post a pic later anyway i can get into download mode so i figured id just flash with odin and be good, i tried to narrow down the proper firmware with the a3, but after flashing nc2, nl1, oc1, im still stuck odin says everything passed, i tried flashing the big main file, tried flashing them in each box at the same time, even tried it with the pit file, tried flashing with odin 3.9 and 3.10.7. same result odin says passed still cant access recovery or os. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Open Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time, flash rom. When you see reset on the statutes window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, wait 5 seconds, replace battery, boot directly into recovery, perform a factory wipe, reboot.

does it matter what version i flash? since im not really sure what version it had prior?

I can't figure out how to upload a photo I have xda 4.0, and can't post outside links yet. Anyway
It says
Product name:N900A
Current binary: Samsung official
System status official
Knox void status 0x0
Qualcomm Secureboot enabled(csb)
Ap swrev s2 t2 a2 a3 p2
Secure download enable
Udc start
Hope that helps

Ran Odin again with the settings you said, after the battery pull the phone says recovery booting, then turned off vibrated twice then same screen again and again. Thanks for the suggestion though any our ideas? I was searching and thought I seen somewhere that to unbrick it it needs to be the same firmware it had before, but I don't know what that was.

You should probably ask her if she had Lollipop. If she did then that narrows it down to OC1 or OC2.

She doesn't know, not very phone literate as far as software, any ideas? I read in another thread to flash a modified version of nc2 but can't seem to find that version, this is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006
Don't know if I can't find it, kinda confusing as far as what I need, like I said I've tried everything except oc2 cant find a link I've tried googling, and that thread says Odin files but can't find a full one for oc2, there's ones for safestrap but can't find Odin
