Can someone help me out here? I am suffering from the major lagging and freezing with my Note 4 and i contacted Samsung about it. They told me to visit a local Samsung store and they can check out my phone, but i want to be back to stock before taking it in. Last night I tried to Odin back to stock Dok2 for roughly 4 hours and i couldnt get it accomplished. Am i missing something? I tried 3 different versions of Odin and downloaded 2 diffrent copies of the Dok2 firmware, but still no luck. Is there a specific processto follow? I tried factory resetting the phone before odin flashing, I even clean wiped the phone in Odin deleting internal storage as well.
Please help!
Anyone??????
Did you download Odin and DOK2 from sammobile? I was able to flash my phone with the downloads from there. I would double check and make sure you are using the stock samsung USB cable that came with your phone.
I'm having the exact same freezing and lockup issues as you are, by the way.
I dont beleive my odin and firmware came from sammobile, so i will give that a shot. I did make sure to use the samsung usb cable. I guess i need to make sure it was my usb cable and not my wife's S4 cable. Not sure if that makes a difference.
Ok. I still can't odin flash Dok2. I downloaded the new version on Odin from Sammobile and downloaded a copy od Dok2 (full) from a link to Mega. I couldn't get the sammobile link to work.
Any other suggestions?
It's possible that your DOK2 file might be corrupted or something. Try giving this one a shot, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 to download the firmware. Input your phone model, set region to TMB, place check mark on "auto" box, and place a check mark on the "decrypt automatically" box. Click on "Check Update" and download. Don't worry about the .enc4 extension on the file name, once its done downloading and decrypting you will get a .zip file of the firmware.
I tried downloading the SamFirm program from the link you provided above, but I get an error in the program stating: "Could not load file or assembly "Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Shell. Version= 1.10.0. Maybe this is because I am running Windows 10.
OK, problem solved. I downloaded Kies 3 and was able to restore to DOK2 using it.

Can you elaborate on this Kies 3, I'm stuck I the same issue and I cant get back to Stock ROM for Note 4
Sure. Kies 3 is the Samsung software for recovery and updates. You should be able to just Google Kies 3 and download.

So use Kies 3 as opposed to using Odin to flash the fw?
That's the only way I was able to flash Dok2 again. I tried at least 20 times in Odin and it failed everytime. I'm still having issues on Dok2, I wish I could flash back to Cod6.

I have a ATT S4 Active SGH-I537. It can only access download mode and from there i've tried everything. What happened was the phone had a OTA to the newest update pushed from ATT and after it updated the touchscreen did not work and i noticed the scren was "burning in the text" if that's what it's called. So i tried to wipe cache, and factory reset. Same thing Happened. Well now the firmware update did not go through so i have the error and can only access download mode. I've tried everything in odin and just get FAILS. Blahhh.
Any help would be great, I'm not new to this kind of stuff. I'm just stuck and need some help.
Thanks

As long as you can get into Download mode you should be ok. I don't know what firmware you were originally on and what you were updating to, but to be safe you should flash the NE3 Odin package. Download it from the i537 Firmware Thread and flash it through Odin. Check the md5 of the file you downloaded with the md5 posted in the thread to make sure you don't have a corrupted download. If you need step-by-step instructions for Odin you can find a link to it in the same thread.
Make sure you are using the usb cable that came with your phone since that is the only one that is guaranteed to work. You can use others, but Odin is very picky about usb cables. Also, try different usb ports on your computer, again Odin is picky. Finally try Odin v3.07 and Odin v3.09. Most people have used those versions to flash things.
If you need more help I'm going to need a little more information:
What firmware were you on before the OTA?
What firmware are you trying to update to?
You mentioned Odin doesn't work, can you post the Odin logs so I can see where it fails?

I will try the NE3 Package a few times, maybe stop by the store and get a different cable. If that doesn't work i will let you know. Thanks for replying and for the info. This is a frustrating mess.
I rooted my phone and wanted to flash back to stock so I can update with the OTA and re-root, but I downloaded the zip for the AT&T tar files and everything seemed to pass MD5 checks and went okay, but as soon as I hit Start, the program just continues to say NAND Write Start for over 20 minutes, and won't flash, how do I go about re-trying this without bricking my device? It's still plugged in atm in download mode.
What version of Odin are you using? I had this problem because I had v3.10 and the s6 is not compatible with that version, you have to have v3.10.6.
Mine did that, I closed odin, reopened, put each .md5 file in right section (AP in AP, BL in BL, CSC in CSC, ect) and it worked
If Odin is having trouble flashing to your phone. Here is some simply tips and tricks to try.
1. Try flashing everything except for the bootloader .
2. Try running Odin as admin.
3. Try upgrading to the newest Odin available.
4. If all else fails, open Samsung Kies, and go to emergency recovery, put your model # and serial # in, and it will flash your phone to stock for you, then you can try again.
5. Also make sure all of the correct drivers are installed for your phone, sometimes Windows can be bad about that. Try getting drivers from samsung directly.
6. Try a new USB Cable, as crazy as that is, I have had some not work, and others work fine.
7. Try a different USB Port on the PC, or restart the PC.
I hope this helps.
I tried just flashing the ROM and CSC and it flashed just fine, I left out the CP file, what is that? Everything seems fine just flashing the ROM and CSC, but do I need to flash the CP file too, for anything?
CSC is the consumer software customization and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
I hope this helps
I didnt get it. Do you mean to put each .md5 file in all sections? ? Please help me

Please help me out. I am having same problem NAND WRITE stuck.
Solved
Thanks everyone for your post. But what I did is, just downloaded the Odin v3.10.6......that worked with S6. And I guess S6 is not compatible to other earlier versions of odin. So better try with Odin v3.10.6.
Nand write start fail solved
I have solved using Odin3 v3.10.7 with firmware VZW-G920VVRU4BOK7-20151211140939 and Windows 7 for Galaxy S6 SM-G920V

Yes, I gave up but a friend of mine found a thread that talks about using Kies to bring it back to factory default. You need to know the serial # and IMEI # If you can find this information, you can reset it using Kies.
Had the same problem. Used Odin 3.10.6
But before all this, I connected phone with debugging enabled in windows and authorized it, the problem never resurfaced

Flash latest stock firmware in odin .
Once odin shows PASS go to stock recovery and do factory reset and wait 15 minutes to boot.
Do you have N910T tmobile note 4 ?
Link below for n910t latest firmware.
Extract the file and flash using odin choose AP

Hello everyone,
I tried installing my devices firmware from the samobile site, after having it boot loop. I got it into download mode, connected it to my pc running odin, and tried flashing the firmware. It got as far as loading the recovery, then tried the rest but failed in the end, saying flash write failed or something like that. Would a custom firmware work better? It seems there are tools for other versions of the s3 mini, but not mine, so I'm not sure of the next step.
Thanks in advance,
Nick
You could try using kies to flash the firmware and there is safestrap(twrp) available for the g730v. If kies doesn't work make sure you are following the steps to flash the odin firmware correctly.

I believe I followed the directions correctly for odin, and the kies software should have worked since my phone had an error message that it couldn't see the phone. I tried installing twrp, didn't take. I tried finding the correct safestrap file, but the only one close was for the s3 and the person said it was too big for their screen.
I appreciate your help, and any more would be much appreciated.

Maybe you downloaded some bad firmware, where did you get your odin package from?
I would recommend downloading this for odin.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634742565
also here is a link to safestrap for when you unbrick your phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../recovery-locked-verizon-s3-mini-ne2-t3361624
So the different firmware didn't work. I went so far as to uninstall kies software, used odin 3.07, 3.09, and the latest one with my the same issue. I even used a different cord. I guess the next step is to hook up my phone to my computer using ADB and see if it's stuck in write only mode.

Hi there!
So my Note 4 died on my eyes and it was greatly missed. So I decided to buy Note 5 and got one. Old one was running Cyanogenmod for 3 years without a fail.
Did not read about releases in Europe. Apparently there is no m920F. Download mode said it is N920T.
Things I've done:
Installed TWPR (TWRP-3.0.2-1-G928T-N920T) with Odin (Heimdall used for PIT file).
Checked was it installed - reboot. Then bootloop started.
Tried to flash a couple of firmware ROMS thrugh Odin. No luck.
Used ADB to transfer firmware rom downloaded from Sammobile. Tried to flash with TWRP. Got "coulnd't find META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary in the zip file"
Things I haven't done:
No backup.
Did not check OEM unlock.
Did not spend a day reading how to do it properly.
It's been a while since my last encounter with custom roms and installing them. I spent all night trying different things, to no avail.
I appreciate the fact that this is common and quite boring issue, so I'm offering a tenner ing GBP (PayPal transfer) for whoever will make my phone work again
I tried again to flash with TWRP to check for exact error this time. But it turns out, that the file with firmware pushed previously is not there any more.
Firmware downloaded is a read-only zip file, so I can't flash it with Odin either.
Tried adb sideload and got the same error - could not find meta-inf/com/google/android/update-binary.
Any ideas, please?

First of all see if ur phone can get into download mode. If YES and since your phone is 920T then download the latest firmware from sammobile. Extract the files inside the folder and flash firmware using ODIN method & try.

Yes I can get into the download mode.
I read some posts on sammobile and the problem with unziping the zip file might be connected with slow download, resulting in corrupted file.
I'll give it a try after work.
Thanks!
Ok. Better download during night time after 11pm. Those time the internet speed is high. Day time is not good for downloading.

Still no luck with downloading a file that is not corrupted. I managed to unzip it with winzip, but then Odin says the file is corrupted.
I've dowloaded a file from a different website, that unzips normally (previously couldnt unzip - winzip worked though), but it is not one file. There is AP, BL, CP and CSP. Firmware number corresponds with that on the sammobile.
Should I give it a go?
A corrupted file was detected. In order to continue, you must select a valid Odin File - that's what Odin says.
Can this have anything to do with Odin, well really JOdin3 being on MacOs?
