You always loose root after flashing stock firmware! Should have flashed it with MobileOdinPro.
If you want root again, downgrade to a directly rootable rom (all versions till KL7) and reroot it with CFRootIntitialFlasher by Chainfire, thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784

I have flashed to KL3, but i failed at rooting it.
idk why, but the doomlord zerg v4 i used to root before won't work.
Just pick and download a stock rom from here (till KL7) http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3. Flash with Odin and reroot with InitialCFRootflasher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784 and you`re done

If I reflash KK2 would it keep all my stuff (contacts, apps, settings) or it will be as format?
Is there any other easier methods to root the LA1 or wait for it?
Iam new with Samsung and Odin, and read somewhere that mobile Odin will intact the 0 flashing (or something means that)
And also read that all flashing can be done via windows Odin (easier for me to deal via pc than mobile screen size)

No LA1 cannot be rooted directly unless you don`t care about raising the binary flash counter. I think KK2 is a wipe rom so yes you will losse everything on your internal disk, so copy the entire disk with windows task manager and put it back after you flashed KK2.
Odin can only be used with stock firmware, kernels or csc files, not custom files.
And try to read up about rooting, flashing and such things. There are threads enough around here.
Good luck

according to what I understood from you so far:
1 - I will reflash the Original stock rom KK2 by PC Odin
you said that KK2 will wipe my mobile and I should make a backup for my internal disk, So, Sorry to ask: what is this (windows task manager) and how to use it?
2 - I will root the KK2 same way I did last time
3 - I will flash the new update LA1 via Mobile Odin and it will keep my root and CWM
Does Mobile odin come in free or paid?

1. yes reflash KK2 using PC odin, I dont know wether KK2 is wipe version, if it is wipe, even you won't lose data on internal SD card, no meaning to take backup with window. If you want to backup your installed app + data, you must have Root.
alternatively you can choose non wipe version to reflash (e.g. KL3 india) it won't delete anything.
2. You have to Root Your relashed ROM (you can find how to Root guide on my signature)
3.Mobile Odin Pro is paid. Dont want to pay for mobile Odin Pro/ unable to purchase it, you can get Root + CWM, then update LA4 using CWM ( you may get installation guide link from my signature)
I will recommend to read all 4 links(first 2-3 post) on my signature,you will find answer of most of your questions
what if i tried to root my new ROM (LA1) using doomlord rooting kit, failed, and then downgrade it to KL3?
can i still use the doomlord easy rooting kit?
i tried this few times yesterday, but it still won't get rooted.
Ok, I reflashed by PC Odin my original stock rom KK2, and it was not wipe, I found everything is intact
But when I tried to root + recovery like before, did not work although I get on the screen (all done) but after reboot no root or CWM
I reinstalled Kies but still alot of errors when trying to do the rppt only or root+CWM
What should I do?
is there any way that I can wipe my phone and start as fresh as I can? what I did is :
boot to recovery and chooses wipe cache partition and Factory reset, it is all or there is something else can be done?
Edit : The wipe did it, and I have root and CWM now

Turn off your antivirus temporarily as it removes some components of your rooting tool which causes the error message.

Yes you can use doomlord method after downgrade.
check USB debugging on, close any PC sync SW, close Firewall, close antivitus. Try another PC.
Hello everybody.
I have a problem in my gt-N7000.
I tried to install the CM10, install normal.
I installed Gapps also normal.
When I went to wipe it crashed.
Now no more enters recovery mode, download mode only.
When I turn it only gets in this mensage:
"Formware upgrade ancountered an issue. Pease select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I've tried to pass other Stock Roms via Odim, but always hangs Odim.
I do not know what else to do, will my phone still has solution?
And have you tried that recovery mode in Kies?

1. I don't know what you mean by this.? The was was not rooted or some one else rooted it for you?
2. The place where odin is stuck could indicate a brick. So you need to be precise in the info you give.
3. Did you use cwm.zip to install the rom directly on a non rooted phone?
If ODIN is working for you,
Get your mobile flashed with Philz Kernel by putting the TAR file on PDA.
Enter Philz Kernel in recovery and flash a ROM of your choice.
If you can't then u r a superbrick.

Sorry for my english, I'm using google translation.
I was using the official version 4.0.3, so I entered the reovery and installed CWM and the file to the Root. Shortly thereafter, without restarting the phone installed the CM10 and then the gapps. When I do the Wipe the phone crashed.
Since then, officials have spent several Roms by Odin and all lock.
I do not know if I was very clear on the information, but now the phone is locked it sansumg logo. And when he enters recovery does not wipe, lock and resets the device.
Again, sorry for my english.
So you have flashed cwm.zip and the the root file and then on the same temp recovery, wiped.? That is serious mistake and it seems a brick.

Download the PIT file, open odin and choose the file in PIT tab. Make sure the repartition is checked. Then load the rom in pda tab. Flash the rom again.

Quite interesting. I currently have my phone with the firmware G800FXXU1ANG7 rooted by using cf-auto-root-sm_g800f-kminilte-xxu1ang7.tar.md5 as suggested in this post and I'd like to upgrade to G800FXXU1ANJ2. Could you please tell me whether to do it the following steps are correct?
Download the firmware G800FXXU1ANJ2 from sammobile (question: which one should I download? I am in France but not with SFR)
Install it by following the standard instructions
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.09
Extract Odin zip-file
Open Odin v3.09
Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes
Root the device by using cf-auto-root-sm_g800f-kminilte-xxu1ang7.tar.md5 with the same file and instructions of this post namely
Download Mode: (VolDn+Home+Power, VolUp)
Odin PDA (AP): cf-auto-root-sm_g800f-kminilte-xxu1ang7.tar.md5
Auto Reboot
Last question: is it advisable to end the installation process by installing TWRP as indicated in this post instead of reflashing the original stock recovery as suggested in the rooting instruction?
Thank you in advance
@castagna
The tools for rooting and recovery are working only in .....ANG7 firmware.
I tried update firmware ......ANJ2 and I was constricted to reinstall ......ANG7 to use root and recovery.

Tried to update ota but it does not install. I get error.should i remove root before via su?
Yes you have to remove Root over SuperSu.
If you have a Custom Recovery (TWRP) flash also the original Recovery.
Now you can download OTA.
During Installation, it could also fail with error String.
This happens if you have previously changed many Things in the System.
I've made two Updates. The first went through well.
In ANL1 it has always stopped at about 30%.
When that happens you can flash the complete Firmware via Odin

Look at the correct Version for your Country or Carrier.

Hi guys...a friend of mine bricked his Gear 2 Neo when he was trying to flash the stock firmware with Odin. The problem is that he accidentally left the "Re-Partition" option checked and, after the flashing was complete, the Gear didn't boot past the bootanimation anymore. After the Samung Gear 2 bootanimation, the smartwatch just turns off (or the screen goes black, idk). Tried to flash again the stock firmware (and different versions) but nothing works.
if you can get to odin mode, you should be fine. Try flashing this tar.md5 file in odin

Already found that thread and that PIT file but when I try to flash it, ODIN says "FAILED"...so I looked for another PIT file and found this site. With the PIT of this site, ODIN flashed everything without errors but the smartwatch still doesn't boot tried different ROMs (the stock tizen one and different versions of the android wear ROM port) on both AP and CSC but no result at all..maybe I'm missing something, so if you have precise instructions on how to flash this PIT file it would be nice. At this point, I'm really desperate :crying:

man, im not too familiar with flashing PIT files, other than trying to avoid it at all costs unless the partition table has been messed up. I dont think youre missing anything tho. Ive read that having to reflash the tizen tar.md5 a couple of times back to back with the reboot box unchecked has been a successful thing for some folks. But youre gonna just want to use the AP selection in Odin tho

Didnt want to create a new thread since I am having a similar issue and tried to use the solutions from this thread, to no avail.
I got a refurbished Gear 2 Neo as gift and it was working okay. However, some apps such as heart rate didnt function. Also, I couldnt transfer music to the device and some other things, so I decided to do a factory reset on it from the settings menu. Watch has not functioned since.
I can get to the reboot menu (continue, download, recovery, shutdown). If I press continue it will show the gear 2 boot screen, then the samsung boot animation =, then black screen. If I press download, it takes me to the download option and I can flash files through odin with no errors. However, when it reboots, same black screen. If I try the recovery option, same thing.....black screen. If it is of and I plug it in, it vibrates and charges, but I cannot get it to boot past the samsung animation.
I have tried flashing a PIT file, stock FW, tizen ROM......nothing works. I got a refurb because I wanted this exact watch, but it is discontinued. I am not new to flashing. I have a rooted and flashed a Galaxy s5, my current phone Note 4 and y current tablet, a samsung Note 10.1 2014.

I can get to the reboot menu (continue, download, recovery, shutdown). If I press continue it will show the gear 2 boot screen, then the samsung boot animation =, then black screen. If I press download, it takes me to the download option and I can flash files through odin with no errors. However, when it reboots, same black screen. If I try the recovery option, same thing.....black screen. If it is of and I plug it in, it vibrates and charges, but I cannot get it to boot past the samsung animation.
I have tried flashing a PIT file, stock FW, tizen ROM......nothing works. I got a refurb because I wanted this exact watch, but it is discontinued. I am not new to flashing. I have a rooted and flashed a Galaxy s5, my current phone Note 4 and y current tablet, a samsung Note 10.1 2014.
edit.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-2-neo/development/android-wear-gear-2-gear-2-neo-t3182056
I flashed the ROM from this thread and my watch works........go figure. I would still like to figure out what is wrong when I flash OEM FW

Seems to have SoftBrick. I have no idea. You can't get into Recovery and it doesn't boot. Send it to Samsung for Repairing.

No longer soft bricked. I followed the recovery instructions from the android wear thread and I was able to switch back to Tizen
Going back to Tizen
BE ADVISED: GOING BACK TO TIZEN MIGHT PROVE DIFFICULT TO ANYBODY WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF THE WATCH, SDB, ADB, AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T USE ODIN. DON'T PM ME FOR IT. IT'S WRITTEN BELOW. ASK IN THE Q&A SECTION PLEASE. THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT THREAD, AND THESE IMAGES ARE FOR DEVELOPMENT ONLY.
BE ADVISED (again): There's no PIT file for this watch. If your favourite flashing app for samsung phones requests one, use Odin. I know, I don't like it either. But we live in a world full of virtual machines with the ability to share USB ports. Now it's your chance to use them if you don't feel like installing Windows in your machine.

1. Flash this file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/3c...ll-Restore.tar
2. When it fails to boot and the screen goes blank, reboot to the bootloader menu and select recovery.

Glad to hear that!
Hi guys,
I have a note 5 SM-N920C, tried to install stock firmware but i forgot to turn FRP off.
I have a soft bricked device now and I've tried flashing by Odin, using diferent versions but its still not coming up. I'll attach pictures of the error messages
Thanks for your help in advance
I had the same problem, but I solved it. Flash stock recovery (Odin), full wipe, after that, i flash the last stock rom for my Note 5 ( N920G) and smartphone back to live. I don't no if this resolve your problem, but for me, everything is ok now
About stock recovery, I extracted from the official rom (With Winrar), converted to .tar (tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.10.7) and flash by Odin.

1)Which Type Of Error ur getting exactly while flashing through Odin? Like At what step it stucks? Can u plz elaborate as couldn't find ur error attachments
2)Try To Flash The Latest Available Firmware For Your Country And Device Model Number Through Odin
3)Latest in the sense if your Country And Device Model Number didn't get 7.0 Nougat update Yet then Download and flash latest dated 6.0.1 firmware with latest PDA/Bootloader/CSC Version OR If Your Country And Device Model Number Already Got 7.0 Nougat Then Also Flash Latest Dated 7.0 Firmware Which On The Top To Download With Latest PDA/Bootloader/CSC Version Through Odin
4)You Can Follow Steps From My Thread To Flash The Stock Firmware Through Odin To Overcome Some Errors
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/guide-odin-flashing-stock-firmwares-t3634256
Download the latest rom of your model (N920C)
Extract only the "recovery" file with Winrar or 7zip
Convert the "recovery.img" file from .img to .tar (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269)
Flash "recovery.tar" with Odin
After entering recovery, full wipe
Then flash last firmware for your model

Thank you guys so much. I've flashed but I'm back at the google authentication screen. I used the Nougat update and it worked, stroke of luck actually.
Tried the marshmallow firmware after extracting and it didnt work, i then replaced it with the Nougat firmware and restarted my phone into download mode and it flashed, Didnt have to press start.
Anyway, I could bypass the FRP for my phone will be appreciated thanks
To bypass go to development option and switch fap off

I have done this over and over and have not been successful.. Would this work with an older or the original firmware? Are there firmwares for the Note 5 that already have the FRP off?
Is there an online service that actually works? If not I have to send my newly purchased soft brick into a Samsung Service Center and for 100 bucks get it fixed..
This is by far the most asinine thing I have ran into in a 25 year tech career

You need use the last firmware for your device, you can try flash last firmware with odin or flash some custom rom, i don't know if work with custom rom, but you can try.
