You need to flash the NE3 Odin package first, then you can update to OC7. You can't go directly from 4.2.2 to 5.0.1 or you will have the exact problem you're experiencing.

[Q] Clockwork Recovery Problem

I am trying to get the latest version of Cognition onto the wife's phone, but it's not exactly cooperating. I used Odin and wiped everything back to stock, but now I can't get Clockwork Recovery to work with me. When I try rebooting into recovery, I'm met with this:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That was after trying the reinstall package option. Any idea what I'd doing wrong? I'm so used to everything being easy with my Nexus 1 and G2!
select reinstall packages again...you have to do it twice the first time.
Keeps failing. That normal?

read about it and you can fix it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213
or you can load up the JF6 ODIN instead and actually be stock:

If my goal is to maintain root and install another rom, the first link is my best bet, right?
Sorry I didn't pay enough attention to the screenshot in your op.
Either method pirate linked will get you to the point where you can flash a new rom.
Allrighty, followed the directions in the first link, and now I get this:
I seem to have sorted everything out. Thanks for the helpful suggestions.

Anyway to force OTA update?

I've seen in places where it says clearing data on the Google Services Framework pushes the OTA update but also can scree up sync issues. Anyone have any ideas. Still seeing my phone is up to date. Yesterday it said server was past daily limit. It's killing me waiting.
Thanks, Vinny

Originally, I was getting the message about the daily service limit, but now my phone says that 5.1.1 is already the latest version.
My USB port is not working properly, so I can't do an ODIN flash.

...using the OEM Fast charger, samsung car charger and Samsung docking station.
The phone charges painfully slow, and can't connect to PC since the USB port needs to be replaced.
I eventually got the OTA update, so I was able to update that way.

Can't Flash Official Firmware

Hello!
I bought a new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (SM-N960F) from a third party shop.
I saw that there is no Software Update option.
After 2 days I discovered that it's in a custom rom (may be) called Lamlazy OS.
Then I downloded official firmware from #sammobile
And tried to flash with Odin.
But every time it failed with an error " repartition operation fail"
So will you all please suggest me what I can do now?
Or the flashing procedure ....
Thanks
i doubt that your phone N960F. Go to download mode and in the first line there will be Actual model number of phone.

the problem in the OP isnt caused by a model number mismatch, its because he is trying to flash the PIT. Flash it again without the PIT and it wont experience that issue

ill have to do it in a little bit. im at work and the way the pic is attached doesnt show up thru the net nanny Citrix causes

Can't power off phone or enter recovery.

Following official Magisk installation guide.
Phone is a Snapdragon S10+, China/HongKong model.
Just Odin'd Android 12, rebooted and installed Magisk app, repaired tar with recovery option because no ramdisk then Odin'd all again with new fixed AP tar.
The problem now is according to the guide I have to get into android's recovery mode somehow.
I've tried all manner of key combinations like Bixby+vol up+ power etc and nothing works except download mode again.
Do I really have to wait for the phone to run out of power?

It is official originally. That message is because I flashed a magisk repaired AP tar to try and gain root. The next step was to enter recovery.
From https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#magisk-in-recovery
Heading: system-as-root
Tried again using a Canary build magisk, was able to finally get into recovery after flashing modified tar however the only option was a factory reset. Oh well..back to the drawing board.

Hey I got it working. Went back to magisk 24.3.
Was checking recovery option box before the AP patching as advised because no Ramdisk but a friend told me not to check recovery anyway and I successfully rebooted twice and now have root and Zygisk.
Thanks for your input!

@Samarimama I have edited your post to point to the article you searched. Please don't post long links.
@bilatche What happens if you hold down the Power button for at least 10 seconds?

absolutely nothing.... I have tried to recharge the phone, but still booting on DL screen....
The only solution I see : go back on last stock firmware via odin.
I will try this week.

If you're unable to reboot the phone, this won't help you. Have you tried holding down the power button until the phone does something?
nothing with long press on power....
here is the screen appearing 1 second at boot before being stuck on DL screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I will see if reinstall stock rom fixes the DL issue...
maybe it's an error due that I didn't have flashed vbmeta after twrp ?

You don't have the official firmware, you need to flash the official.
