Hello XDA Community,
I am an 2 year XDA veteran, so i am properly familiar with all things related to XDA.
I currently own a Xperia X10 Mini Pro and a Xperia Mini Pro....
I tinker a lot with these 2 phones. SE phones mainly need fastboot.....
I just brought a Samsung Galaxy Note(SGN) N7000 (India) a few days back and am really excited to run CM9 on it.....
But i have alot of unanswered questions.....
So i just need the community's help...
1. Does the SGN have a stock recovery....????
My cousin has a Galaxy Tab 8.9 and it had a stock recovery. I just flashed a zip to root it and another zip for CWM......
2. What exactly is ODIN....?????
The Tab 8.9 had ODIN with a Recovery but our SGN does not seem to have one.......
3. Is it safe to upgrade to official Samsung ICS......????
There is alot of talk going on in the forum about HARD BRICKING our SGN if we upgrade........
4. What do i exactly have to do to get CWM......????
The guides in Development Section by dr.ketan have me totally confused, though i have rooted my SGN using DoomLord's Kit............
I am new to Samsung devices ant dont know the way they work.....
So any help will be extremely appreciated.......
Thanks.

I used Vol down + home + power while starting up, and the phone booted into ODIN but there is no recovery.....
The screen only shows " Start Downloading"...
What is this........???/
Whereas the ODIN in Tab 8.9 gave options to flash .zips and much more......
Help please......
Thats download mode, you use with odin from your PC.... use Vol up + home + power for recovery
Download mode is mostly used to flash stock roms (afaik) and they can be found http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-N7000&r=-1#modelsa

managed some soft bricks in how not to root. Odin up & waiting if a dev comes up with it
I am also waiting for the root!
not sure if it would work, but im working on a rom right now that is pre-rooted, but like i said i dont think that it will work,, i hope someone makes a cwm recovery soon
I'm currently trying to create a prerooted rom the way I did it for my tablet.
Extracting the system image from the Update package was easy, currently I'm trying to mount the syste,.img to set the rights and add the SU binaries.
If this works out, how can I flash this ROM?
With KIES? Or Update.zip on SD?
Is there an Update mode, and how can I get there?
edit: Okay... I was able to mount the System.img, but this is not that straight forward as in the img of my tablet.
I found a lot of folders, but no .apk, known folder or something I could work with.

Have you tried adb shell?. I am not allowed to post outside links, but if you type "londatiga net/it/how-to-use-android-adb-command-line-tool/" in Google, you will get the appropiate link
Could you explain with some derail how did you unbricked the phone?

Hi guys, I'm pretty new here.
I was wondering if there is any official 4.1.1 Jellybean for SIII Mini, 'cause my phone is pretty dead at this moment. I tried to download from official servers some packages , and use them with Odin ...but the phone is still at the main screen " Samsung Galaxy S III Mini GT-I8190 ". Any ideas how to manage with this ?
Or can I use another firmware, as 2.3.4 Gingerbread?To downgrade the device just to work?

Do you tried to get some of this firmwares:
samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I8190
and installing with:
trickytweaks.com/i8190xxaljl-4-1-1-jelly-bean-update-gt-i8190-s3-mini-how-to.htm
Yes, I have tried with my provider's firmware , but nothing happened. Still at logo screen. I have also tried with other firmwares, but still at a dead end. Right at this moment I'm flashing my phone again, hoping that something will change.
Had it stuck by flashing custom boot.img. Solved it by flashing 1 file image from samfirmwares as pda in Odin 1.85 default settings

I have succesfully extracted the PIT file from my S3 mini with the Heimdall software, but I don't wanna use it to flash with Odin because I think it's pretty messed up. Can anyone provide me with their Galaxy S3 Mini PIT file, hoping to rescue my dead phone ?
no boot into recovery mode and wipe data/cache that should get the phone booting again, esppecially after flashing firmwares with odin

Well, if the recovery mode can be accessed with Volume Up + Home + Power, then I can say that my S III Mini won't get into it.If I press these buttons the phone just gets on, and remains at Samsung Logo. So that is why I'm asking for a PIT file, 'cause I can't get into recovery mode to erase all data, so I can flash my phone again using Odin.
I have tried all official firmwares and still nothing. I guess my SIII Mini partitions are a little (or a little more) messed up, and I need to use Re-Partition from Odin so I can revive my phone.And to do this I need a PIT file from a working phone.
Or there is another way to get into recovery mode, excepting Volump Up + Home + Power?
Thanks for the answers.

Well, the NsPro tool requiers a box, that costs 170$. The program is useless without that box. I have downloaded it and doesn't work without that box.Another solution is by using a JTAG box, which does the pretty same thing, but again, it is expensive.
I was thinking that if I'll repartion my phone it will resolve the boot.img file, because it's in the "softbrick" at this moment.
helpline
Have you tried emailing or phone SAMSUNG`s helpline, they might help.
Write this image file whit odin 1.85 and voala you phone revive.
Pls use tanks buton
That param.tar file I saw it is for S II . Does it work for a S III mini too? Aren't 2 different devices?
Hi, I am having issues getting the TWRP v2.7.0.0 on my Samsung S3 Mini. If it matters I have AT&T and KitKat 4.2.2 on my phone. Below are the steps I have taken so far.
1) Used the one step root here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459910
2) Downloaded TWRP v2.7.0.0 because from the forums I have read that is the latest version for the s3 mini - http://novafusion.pl/
3) I tried using Odin3 v3.07 and failed. I tried saving both the TWRP zip file and the recovery.img as a .tar (otherwise odin cannot recognize it) then ran it through Odin... still failed. I tried booting into stock recovery and flashing the zip file and the img file separately.
I noticed someone on page 11 of the follow forum had the same issue (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678274)... but I am not able to comment on his questions do to me being a new user. Also there didnt seem to be a solution listed on that thread.
Has anyone had this problem? Or can someone send me a thread that has a solution? I appreciate all the help and advise!

Thanks for your quick response and help but unfortunately this did not work. I tried doing exactly what the instructions said. Downloaded the Odin3 v3.04 and the "GT-I8190_TWRP_2.7.0.0.tar.md5.zip" which I extracted only once. I ran Odin as and administrator too and it failed every time. I even tried it with Odin3 v3.07. Any other ideas? Thanks again!

no it doesn´t. Go to settings - Apps and stop Kies before booting in download mode and flashing the custom recovery (downloadTHIS ONE, unzip it to get a .tar.md5 file and flash it with Odin - follow the steps in the post)
After that reboot again to download mode, make a factory reset, and wipe cache and dalvik cache. Then flash the ROM with Odin.
Good luck

I just tried what you said. I could not find anything that allowed me to stop kies under my settings -> applications. The only Kies option I found was under settings -> Connections -> Kies via Wi-Fi. I am not currently on WiFi or have any Kies connected to my computer. I googled how to stop kies and saw that if debugging is on, kies will stop. I have already had the debugging box checked previously. So, I used the zip from the thread you sent me and tried it again. I followed the the instructions exactly and it still fails just as before. I really do appreciate all the help. It would be great if I could get this working.

None of it will work. These files you're trying is for i8190. You have a sm-g730a with completely different hardware and locked bootloader.
I know there is root method for it, but that's all.

Youre right... I just looked under settings -> more -> about device and it says the device name is SAMSUNG-SM-G730A. So do you not think my original root worked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2459910 )? It seemed like it did. I am also using ROM Manager but cant utilize it because I do not have TRWP or CWM. Doesn't my phone have to be rooted to use an app like that? Does anyone know if there is either TWRP or CWM for the SM-G730A model?

Link not working but you can use a root checking app to see if you got full root.
I don't think there is any custom recovery yet. I know some users have tried to build one, but I'm unsure of how far they went.
There is a few threads about it both in general and q&a section. Just search for it.
This is a permissive kernel with rooting restrictions removed.
Due to the new security policies in 5.1.1 you will need this kernel to root your device.
This will trip the knox flag thereby potentially voiding your warranty.
I hold no responsibility in any case if you decide to flash this product.

Officially its not available yet, but im trying to modify the t810 kernel for the t815 for when they release the 5.1.1 rom
I had a bit of a challenge to get this installed on my SM-T710. I couldn't get Odin to install the kernel using either boot or AP. I did get this working by installing your TWRP build, extracting the IMG file and having TWRP install the IMG file.

What was the issue?
Odin froze/did not complete on the flash. No fail message or even window greying. I tried 3.10.6 and 1.85. After about 10 tries, I decided to use twrp to flash the image and it worked fine.

Tried 3.10.7 and several older versions with no luck. Was able to root by flashing the image file in twrp and then flashing the autoroot tar file in Odin so I'm good to go.
The tar package must have got corrupted in the upload or something.
Will re-upload.

if you already on 5.1.1 ...I believed you have to root first before you can install the TWRP...
I was not sure how did they flashed TWRP without got the Tab rooted first...

Odin froze/did not complete on the flash. No fail message or even window greying. I tried 3.10.6 and 1.85. After about 10 tries, I decided to use twrp to flash the image and it worked fine.

from what i understood they were flashing twrp in odin... from the instructions I read it appeared you could update to 5.1.1 and then begin the process...
Do I need to flash back to 5.0.2 and if so which one? I've got a US 710 wifi.

Hmm, I had the same problem but I can't use twrp because when I flash that it says it flashed fine but then I still get the regular stock recovery. Im on 5.1.1

The stock recovery gets reflashed by the OS when you reboot. To prevent this from happening you have to reboot immediately into recovery after flashing. TWRP will then patch it to prevent this from happening.
If you disable 'Auto reboot' you can reboot after flashing by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN then immediately switch to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons when the tablet restarts.

that did it thanks!
The combination T810XXU1BOH7_T810XAR1BOH7_XAR & t810_5.1.1_boot & t810_cf-autoroot_5.1.1 works on my TM810!

The tar package must have got corrupted in the upload or something.
Will re-upload.

I think AFH was having issues last night, I had a lot of my own uploads fail to flash after redownloading.
Hello everyone, Im new here and this is my first post. Im a total noob with phones and android.
First of all, let me tell you that I don't speak english (I speak spanish), but I can understand it quite well. Any help in english or spanish is welcome.
So please, excuse my english !
Well, this is the problem:
I was reading a guide here for installing a rom and this guide tells me that i need to flash the TWRP. So I downloaded the official TWRP app from the Play Store, select my device there [S4 Active], downloaded the .img and flash it with the app. But when i reboot my device trying to access to recovery mode [power button + volume up] a yellow triangle with an exclamation point pop outs with this
message:
"System software not authorized by ATT has been found on your phone"
Just to clarify, the phone works perfectly, and i'm able to boot up, and do all the usual stuff. Its the recovery mode, I cant acess to it. I have made a backup of the previous recovery (the one which came with the phone) using a backup option in the TWRP app. But the app doesnt have an option to restore it and i cant find the file using ES Explorer either.
My device model is Samsung S4 Active (SGH-I537) and its from AT&T (Im not sure if it is the US version) If you need any details or information I will provide it !
So, I hope you guys can understand my english and help me. Thank you !
EDIT: I was reading this post [ https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...esnt-exist-upgrade-to-android-6-7-s4-t3508564 ] and now I understand that my model SGH-I537 has a locked bootloader that no one has unlocked yet. So, now, the only thing that i want is to restore the previous Recovery which came with the phone from the factory.

You should flash the recovery using Odin not via a app is not fiable

OK but as far as I know it's not possible to install a custom recovery on my model, even with Odin. Is there any way to flash the stock recovery with Odin? How? Any links?
Thank you for you replay!

Just flash the NE3 Odin package for your phone and you'll be fine. Look at the stickied post on the General section.

Im sorry but I cant find the stickied post . What's an NE3 Package?
I forgot to mention that I'm on Lollipop 5.0.1 with root. My compilation number is I537UCUCOC6.
I will google about it.

excuse for being this dumb but in the post it says:
"In order to flash the OTA files you must be on either stock, unrooted NE3 or NH3 firmware. You can then download the OTA file, rename it to update.zip and flash it through stock recovery. If you've rooted or modified the system in any way then you have to flash the Full NE3 Odin Package and update to NH3 first; this process will completely wipe your phone."
That means that I have to flash a firmware with Odin that's not the one for my android version first and then update it to OC6 through the stock recovery? Will the recovery work then?
I'm sorry about keep asking dumb questions, but I don't understand. The post talk about "updating your firmware". Can I just download the OC6 firmware and flash it with Odin? If I flash the NE3 first, will the recovery work in order to make the update? Will I lose root?
Is there any way that I cant get an image of the stock recovery from the OC6 firmware and flash it alone or I'm talking no sense?
