Its nice to be back posting again. Anyway i do have a problem. I recently purchased tab s2 t713. I found out that the stockrom was based in china. So i download a stock rom based in UK (BTU)
Now im flashing the stock rom to my brandnew t713 then after a while it says fail due to the FRP lock. So i soft bricked my device. I google everything about FRP lock but on how to turn it off. But my next step actually requires to use the tab and remove my google account. Now i cant use my tab. Tried installing smart switch but its not supported.
What else can i do to turn it off? So i can install fresh stock rom.
Can someone help me?
I did the same thing. Finally fixed after trying a lot of things but alas I didn't take notes. What I *think* worked was to reboot into recovery:
- hold power/vol-down/home until screen shuts off then slide my finger over to vol-up (while still pressing power & home) until it reboots.
Once in recovery I restored the original ROM, turned OEM Unlock on and was able to use Odin to put the new ROM in successfully.
Tried that already but no to avail. The recovery mode somewhat missing.
Nevermind. I returned it to the store. Maybe it was a sign to wait for Tab S2? Lol.

Alright
First of all i would like to say that im a completly noob in android OS and that i possiblely have done something idiotic!
So.. was i getting annoyed by a slow phone (have voodoo lagfix installed and set to be ON. It seems to work like ****!)
I rebooted into recovery mode and entered advanced settings and i was curios about the partition setting.
Then i picked "partition" and set it be on "4096MB" and at last i picked it to be "ON"
I finished it and reboot the phone.
Now i only getting the startup logo and nothing happens.
I have the 3 button fix installed to be sure i can get into recovery mode again, and i have tested it and it WAS working.
Now it does not work with the Vol up+Home+Power button combination.
I can get 3 different screens like the startup logo, the download mode and the battery charging logo, which not showing any sign on charging.
instead it show the loading circle, frozen on the charging logo.
So what can i do ? - I really really hope there is a solution on this huge problem, because it is worthless now and i only got this phone less the a month.
Thank you.
You'll likely need to flash back to your stock firmware and start over (meaning you loose all data on your internal memory).
Do you know how to use odin? Do you know where to find your stock firmware? I'm on my phone right notes so can't provide any links but you can check the reference guide thread in the i9000 general forum (it's one of the stickied threads) on how to flash firmwares. You can find your stock firmware on http://samfirmware.com
[SOLVED -- Read my last post]
Posting on forum was my last resource, but I've tried literately almost everything I can possible find.
I already bricked my phone and had to unbrick, do everything (update firmware etc) all over again.
I am at a point where I am afraid to do something new to my phone now without knowing what they are...
Please bare with me, I am not familiar with exactly what flashing is or whatnot, I just followed the instructions and got where I am....
K, recently I decided to wipe my phone CLEAN and update to new CyanogenMod 9 from factory mode.
So, I have Captivate, I897. It was ECLARE with 2.1 firmware.
I have updated to 2.3.5 (Gingerbread [I897UCKJ2]), Rooted.
I had to Flash BACK to KK4_stock_kernel.tar for me to use WIFI again because I had issue after Rooting my phone, I couldnt access the WIFI.
I installed Clockwork mod (Free version).
My goal is to install CyanogenMod 9, and part of the process requires me to enter the CMW Recovery Mod.
I dont even know what this looks like, but all I know is whenever I boot my phone, after the AT&T logo animation it seems to go into this "messed up" screen, where as if my phone is broken. Stays there for 3 seconds and then continues to boot back to its OS.
In ROM manager, it says Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (You must have the clockworkmod recovery installed to flash and restore ROMs!)
Another option within ROM manager is, Reboot into Recovery (Boot into Recovery mode for manual management.), which if I do access it, it takes me back to that AT&T logo animation and that "messed up" screen again, but this time it stays there. Where all kinds of colored pixels are on my screen as if my screen is broken. It will only continue to boot back to my OS if I press power button or some sort.
Im guessing that's my Recovery Mod, which my phone for some reason cannot see?
So I tried "Download ROM (Upgrade to ROM Manager (premium) to access the full list of ROMs!", hoping this may cure that messed up screen effect, which I think is the Recovery Mod for all I know... When I click to install, it gives me Confirm Phone Models. None are my phone model for me to install.. (It only gives me Google Nexus S / Google Nexus S 4G / Samsung Epic4G / Samsung GalaxyS i9000).
Earlier, I was looking at this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127578
which is a way to fix recovery mod(?) But I have NO idea how to even install those files... Maybe not the .tar file but the other one.
Please help? Am I the only one experiencing this kind of problem? Couldnt find anywhere else on youtube / google / forum..
Thank you VERY much in advance, really appreciate it..

This is your likely problem right here. The Kernel that is installed during the rooting process and typically when you install custom roms is what is responsible for installing and therefor you being able to access the CWM recovery. Flashing back to the stock kernel likely messed things up for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
Now if you follow that link it will take you to several one click options for flashing your phone to stock gingerbread but with a kernel containing CWM. Also keep in mind that it is possible you could have wifi issues if you've had them in the past, but if your goal is to get to CM9 just ignore the wifi for the time it shouldn't be an isuse in the end.
Hey OP,
See this.... TRusselo's Flashing Guide

You need Gingerbread bootloaders.
Thanks guys! I figured out the problem and solved it!
Like you guys said, I didnt have the bootloader. The gingerbread I installed was the no bootloader version. After reinstalling to the one with bootloader, I was able to access the recovery mod and that "rainbow screen" glitch was no more.
Thank you!
Morning all, hoping somebody can help.
I managed to get a spare Galaxy Tab 8.9 (GT-P7310) from work that was not being used.
I work for a hospitality company and the tab is in some kind of lock down mode where many of the features are disabled, for instance I cannot access settings, there is no bar along the bottom giving me my home screen etc.
I have done a factory reset on the tablet and when it reboots it does come up initially with the home screen bar and I can get into the settings but then after approximately 45 seconds it seems to load something in the background and I am locked down again.
Any ideas??

You should see what apps are installed while you can get into settings. If there is an app in there that is locking all this stuff out, try to uninstall it before it kicks in.
If that doesn't work, I would check if it's rooted first. Download a root checker app. Also check to see if it already has a custom recovery. To boot into recovery, turn the tab off. Turn it on. as soon as the gt 8.9 logo pops up hold the volume down button (closest to the power button). That will bring up the bootloader and you can go into recovery (android with a box) or download mode.
Check the recovery version. If it's not rooted and has the stock recovery, then you have some work ahead of you.
First, I have no idea what your people did to the tab, so any of this could brick and ruin the tab. Keep in mind that that is your responsibility.
I would flash a custom recovery with ODIN. Make a nandroid backup through that custom recovery. Root the tab. Make another nandroid. Wipe the tab through recovery, and then flash a custom ROM.
Check on the status of root and recovery, and we can go from there.
I'm completely stumped on this. I'm new to Custom Roms.
So a long time (a little over year aprox) I bought an GT-N7000 from an at-the-time friend (no longer friends)
He factory reset and installed a custom rom (Paranoid Android) on it. (Such a nice gesture..)
Now, speed forth Christmas last year, I bought a Galaxy Note 3 for myself, and I then sold off the N7000 to my older brother.
Now my brother comes to me and tells me that his phone is acting weird.
I take a look and notice that the phone has apparently partitioned itself into several drives, making the phone run incredibly slow and he keeps getting an annotation going "There's way too little space left!"
Now, as I mentioned I'm new to custom roms and that kind of stuff, but my initial "brilliant" idea was to simply factory reset it, and install the Stock Rom on it.
I grabbed a Stock rom from Sammobile that had a country that at least was english in nature (UK) I unfortunately live in Denmark, and so therefor it was impossible to find a Stock rom that fits it.
I grabbed it, loaded it onto ODIN3 and went into Recovery Download Mode. And I started installing it. Everything went smoothly.
Then when the phone restarted it started boot looping.
I looked and searched everywhere for fixes. Problem was, looking at the first few fixes I've seen include links to .PIT files that are either dated or ancient in nature.
androidayos.com and android.gs both had a fix, but their links was either out dated or not helpful for my specific case.
And so I beseech thee oh mighty XDA Developers.
Have you a solution/help that might be what I need.
I've read that I should go into a recovery mode that allows me to look at the files. (Read that I could do so by holding the Home Button + Power button when it turned on. But such a function didn't seem to work on the N7000.)
I've also tried looking at installing Paranoid Android again, but that requires access into the Recovery Mode. Which I, again, do not have.
PIT files are dated because they never change. They have been the same since device manufacturing date.
So did you reset before odin install? Recovery mode is by pressing the power + vol up + home together.

Well, I had to flash in phillz to actually get a recovery mode to work.
But I managed to do just that, and then whipe the caches and I could then get the stock rom flashed onto it.
Which then got the phone to work properly.
No failures to report yet.
So for the moment a full-on success story!
This is my first post and I'm in need of some help that I can't seem to find anywhere when searching the internet. I'm not a developer nor am I close lol I just have tons of fun learning the development process - it's seriously one of my favorite things to do. Anyways I've messed up royally with my Galaxy Note 5 N910P and I'm stumped on what I should do next! So here's the issue: My Note 5 will not stop boot looping!!! I've flashed stock, almost every version that I'm able to and nothing has worked. The last thing I remember doing before it started this b.s is rooting with CF Auto root. I've always used twrp then flashed Supersu and the dm verity and never had issue! But after flashing the CF Auto root I kept getting kernel is not seandroid enforcing and then the dreadful boot loop issue that has been going on for three days now! Is there something i'm missing? or not doing right? Please message me and let me know, and if this is the wrong place to post about this, I dont mind if my post is taken down just at least help with my question some how! Thank you, XDA is my favorite place - you guys are awesome, I don't trust any other source!!!

First of all you have entered wrong model no here note 5 model no should be SM-N920xx
1)Have you enabled Oem unlocking from developers option before flashing twrp and cf-autoroot using odin? If not then you done a mistake!!
2) Have you tried to flash latest stock firmware using odin with latest usb drivers installed on you pc and proper odin flashing guide?(Flash latest 6.0.1 for your device with latest usb drivers installed on pc and connect phone to main usb port using original usb cable) After flashing stock rom if your facing bootloop then you can try reset through stock recovery (Press volume down+power button to switch off your phone..When screen shuts off immediately press volume up+power+home key simultaneously untill you see Samsung galaxy note 5 logo, release keys..You are now in stock recovery from there choose wipe data/factory reset..After reset complete reboot your device)
3)If you can boot into twrp recovery normally then flash any custom rom suitable for your device i.e. for sm-n920p..Custom roms are pre-rooted so no need to flash cf-autoroot..Flash custom rom, if you successfully boot up the rom( It's difficult to boot custom rom though if you haven't enabled oem unlocking you will face custom binary is blocked by frp protection),then enable oem unlocking from developers option and try flashing stock rom again
4) Next option for you is download Samsung smart switch for pc, install latest usb drivers on your pc, connect your phone to pc in download mode(Press volume down+power+home button simultaneously),in smartswitch select emergency software recovery, it will ask you imei,model no and serial no which you can find either on box or back panel of your phone,smartswitch will detect latest stock firmware for your device, hit update now,give some time until update complete..Your device will be automatically reboot..If even you face bootlopp, then goto stock recovery(Press volume down+power button to switch off your phone..When screen shuts off immediately press volume up+power+home key simultaneously untill you see Samsung galaxy note 5 logo, release keys..You are now in stock recovery from there choose wipe data/factory reset..After reset complete reboot your device)
**IF SUGGESTION IN SECOND POST HELPS YOU THEN ITS DONE, AVOID NEXT SUGGESTIONS**
Are you sure you can't install cf auto root again to solve it? IF not...
I did a search and got hits for twrp for N910P. Get it loaded, get it wiped and have another shot at success. Next way to get rid of the persistent rooter gone rogue, load up a factory BL + AP. If that doesn't work download another version and try again.
I've enabled OEM unlocking, flashed latest stock AP...BL.. And so on, factory reset in both factory and TWRP. I have also tried flashing CF Auto root again to see if that would fix it also custom ROMs bootloop except for CM13 and Lineage OS- Which is weird because the ROMs are for the SM N920C model and I'm and Sprint model, So I don't understand that. Weird!! Everything recognizes me as SM N920C except when I am in download mode. Also, having no imei or any back ups make its even harder since my computer completely crashed on me because I am unable to use Samsung smart switch due to the wrong model and null imei. So I'm completely stumped with this issue. Not sure if its a corrupted partition or folders not being in the correct folder locations along with wrong permissions, I've literally stressed everything to my knowledge about this and I'm all out of what issues this could be related to
