Here's a solution that worked for me
Flash the below with ODIN (thanks to bonzai3558), extract the .md5 file from the zip, and in odin choose PDA and point to that file, keep everything else blank/default. Connect Tab with USB (after it is in download mode by power on +Volume down then volume up, so it shows the yellow android with shovel) then hit Start.
this ODIN version: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DDN6BYB2
and this pda md5: http://www.mediafire.com/?gcenefqc3khcc0c
Now when you check for OTA once your back up, itll work fine and get past 13% and go all the way (it is normal for it to stay a long time on 76%)
Best of all tablet is ROOTED
so this odin file is surely stock (and plays nice with the OTA update)
-PS: This odin file also will save your device if it is bricked or frozen (boot into download mode) power button + volume down button, then press volume up to select
*thanks pershoot for help as well
Work in the v model ?
Thanks
this version of odin isn't seeing my tab. I have the samsung drivers installed. :/ But it still says unknown device when I go into fastboot mode and odin doesn't see it
edit: not sure what it is, my gigabyte mother board seems to hate samsung android devices. Worked like a champ with my wife's laptop. Thanks!
Does this work with retail 10.1?

SS2006, you are awesome! Thanks for posting this. I flashed recovery.img, flashed boot.img, and restored all the original apps from the system dump, but I was still stuck at 13%.
Was totally WTF...?
Then saw this thread. FLashed the zip file, and BOOM. Software update success!
Pershoot is the man!
Anyone tried this on the v model?
Does this work on retail 10.1 tab
Can we odin back to stock with this image if we have the retail tab? Can we replace the retail bootloader with the I/O bootloader?

doesn't work on retail with that ver. of odin (and trying to flash in a tar'fyed cwm).
either it too is locked, or there is another means of interacting with it.
ill kep my eyes peeled for retail.
So I did this to a retail locked 16gb. I get force close messages like crazy now. Any idea on how to get back to stock?
I tried this after an adb reboot,,, sent me into a boot loop and it did not clear it up so i did it the old fashoin way, hopefully can get it to work later would def help!

This saved my LE I/O SGT! Was stuck in boot loop; couldn't connect with adb or fastboot, but could get into ODIN download mode. After flashing a couple other versions that either didn't work or had other issues (no USB, accelerometer, etc), I finally found this thread. Flashed this PDA and now I'm back up and running!
However, I had already messed up my bootloader. I flashed it with this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1083517 which is from the 10.1v retail edition. Now when I try to do the 3.1 OTA update, it won't boot into update mode. It fails and says to try doing the update with Kies. Do you have a bootloader that I can flash with ODIN for this same PDA version?
It did same for me, when i tried to do OTA update, it says failed to update and try to update with kies. I ended up factory resetting the device. Its still rooted and now I am trying to update again. Hopefully it works this time. For some reasons I can't launch any apps. They are all crashing. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Any luck? I haven't had the app crashing problem, but it seems pretty common from reading around the forums.
I was able to install Kies and get it to recognize my tab (had to disable USB debugging first), however, it gives me the following message: "This version of the device cannot be updated." So, it seems I am still unable to get the HC 3.1 update... Anyone have a solution? I still think the original ODIN flashable bootloader from the same PDA as the OP might do the trick for OTA updates... Just not sure where to find it.
FWIW: Kies reports my current firmware version as: PDA:KE3 / CSC:KE3 (XAR)
It doesn't work for me either. I get the same error and when I tried to do OTA update, it reboots after the download saying it couldn't be updated. I think we need PDA with 3.1.
I haven't been able to use anything on my tablet. every app running in the background crashes and theres. I did system reset and factory reset but no luck.
Any help would be really appreciated.

SS2006, you are a god send! I was in a boot-loop somehow on my Android 3.1 10.1v after trying out the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130574 thread..
Flashed with this ODIN package (that is Android 3.01) and did the successful upgrade back to 3.1! Sweet!
So does anyone have more details on these ODIN packages and how they are setup?
odin is crashing es soon as i open it, anybody having the same problem?
update: nevermind, im using odin 1.82 and now im rooting my tab.
hey i got a stupid question:
i got tab 10.1 P7500 already on 3.1 HC
can i just flash the root exploit? using stock recovery?
just wanna make sure before i did something stupidly irreversible.
EDIT:
for those of you on locked 3.1 P7500 (indonesian edition) you can just skip the Odin flashing and directly place the root exploit to your root sd and then apply the update (just tried it and it works) i have root now.. moving on to CWM

I dont understand I got PDA_SIGNED_HRI83_BUKDF.tar.md5 to work once but now its not and PDA_SIGNED_P7105.tar.md5 never works by the way which one is the retail one anyone know??
I bricked my SM-T900 Wifi while attempting to root it. Can anyone help me get it un-bricked?
Here's a step by step list of what I did and what happened:
1. Turned on USB debugging mode
2. Downloaded and installed Samsung kies
3. Downloaded the file for SM-T900 from autoroot [dot] chainfire [dot] eu/ (it won't let me post outside links)
4. Turn off tablet, get into custom firmware installation mode by holding power, volume-, and home, then confirm the warning
5. run Odin (v3.07, came in the zip file)
6. plug in tablet, tablet showed up as a com port but did NOT show any other information. I don't know if it was supposed to show anything else but I hadn't though about that at the time.
7. Clicked on PDA and selected the file CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5
8. Clicked start
9. Waited, it said it was doing something with cache, I don't recall exactly what it said
10. after about 3 minutes the screen looked wrong, all the pixels were different colors, (rainbow static?)
11. Waited about 10 minutes just in case that was not a sign of failure, then Odin reported that it failed.
Now when I press the power button, I get the screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
I tried using that in Kies but Kies can't connect to my tablet any more. When I try to use Odin using the recovery with power, vol-, home, it detects that I plugged it in but when I try to click start it fails and nothing happens.
I have exact the same problem.
I have read many articles, who said it was easy to root.
That's not true !!!!.
Maybe because the tablet became an update today ?
What I did to recover the tablet: (phew !!!)
Download this bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2591013&d=1392923580
Connect to Odin and flash it.
A few seconds, it says OK, reboots and voila: there's your tablet again revived !!!!.

Unfortunately Odin fails before it manages to even connect to my tablet so I'm not sure it will work for me but I'll give it a try. It managed to connect before when I tried to flash the root files but now it fails every time. I'll update this when I get home and try flashing that.
Edit:
Got home, tried your fix. I am happy to report it worked and it only took a few seconds. Thanks!
Edit:
To anyone reading this thread, if you tried rooting your SM-T900 using the SM-T900 files for rooting, try using the SM-P900 files instead! I just tried that and it seems to be working fine.
I'm glad I could help. :good:
It's bad for your heart when you see that your expensive tablet is bricked.
Hello everyone. Where do I flash the bootloader in odin? Do I use PDA or Bootloader and do I need to check the bootloader update box? Just wanted to confirm before further messing up my tablet. Thanks!
Edit: Never mind, figured it out. Thanks for the help!
This method just worked for me. Flashed the bootloader with Odin after getting "stuck" and it booted right up.

What did you do exactly to fix it? I'm having the same issue. Just sits at screen and says:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SM-T900
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Official
KNOX Warranty Void: 1
RP SWREV: A1
How do you use that recovery.img file?
For the top most problem flash cwm or TWRP recovery through Odin or through recovery mode then boot into cwm or TWRP recovery delete all files and install a supported rom.
If u want full explained steps mail me

it's 2022 & my T900 finally went into bootloop in model logo, does anyone know the real reason for this? is it hardware or software problem?
- I can flash any version via odin but still bootloops
- TWRP worked once after that can't get in anymore
- the only button working is for the download mode PWR + Vol Down
- before all this LED Stayed on until batt drained then bootloops
it's a good tab to watch movie while on a treadmill
Hello,
I have a Verizon S6 Edge, that I need help with. My phone was working fine and yesterday, all of a sudden it turned on, and is now stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Powered by android" screen. It does not go past that. I can't even turn the phone off. I just have to wait for it to die. The phone has never been rooted and I've always just done OTA updates on it. I went to a local Best Buy to get it reflashed with the latest firmware but that still hasn't fixed it. I cannot access the recovery menu, only the download mode. I can also access maintenance mode which gives the option for Normal Boot, factory reset, safe mode, and USB Debugging. I have tried all those options but nothing different happens. I have downloaded the latest firmware from XDA and tried to flash it with ODIN and nothing happened there either. Any help is appreciated, I just don't want to throw my phone away. (I bought it last August)
Thanks!
I have the same problem, but i live in Mx and i can't find the stock rom anywhere. I hope someone can help us.
Hey, sorry to hear you're having issues.
Have you tried contacting Verizon or Samsung support yet?

did you by chance use a pit file for odin as well as a full tar?
you could have messed up the partitions..
try to repartition it using odin or you can always try samsung smart switch emergency repair option etc.

I didn't use any PIT files or anything. I just downloaded the stock OK7 firmware and put that in AP on odin, plugged my phone in under download mode and the update seems to go through fine but it still just boot loops. Doesn't go past the Galaxy S6 Edge screen. However, when I did that, there is now a padlock on my screen when it boots up and it also says custom under it and system status also says custom.

something is not right then.. check the download md5 and what odin version you running?
custom padlock should go away after fresh install of a full odin tar which should be ~1.9gb zip before extracting it

I downloaded the stock one and installed it. Ithe was 1.86 GB. I put the md5 in the AP and that's it. Ithe downloads fine and installs fine on the phone but it just won't go past the boot screen and still has the custom padlock
so i recently got a note 3 from a friend to fix for her. it boots to the samsung logo then vibrates and reboots over and over, recovery just says "booting recovery" then it goes blank and reboots to the same booting recovery screen, shes doesnt know what version it had prior to bricking. she said one day it was working then turned off and never back on again, the odin mode screen had a2, a3 on it ill post a pic later anyway i can get into download mode so i figured id just flash with odin and be good, i tried to narrow down the proper firmware with the a3, but after flashing nc2, nl1, oc1, im still stuck odin says everything passed, i tried flashing the big main file, tried flashing them in each box at the same time, even tried it with the pit file, tried flashing with odin 3.9 and 3.10.7. same result odin says passed still cant access recovery or os. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
Open Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time, flash rom. When you see reset on the statutes window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, wait 5 seconds, replace battery, boot directly into recovery, perform a factory wipe, reboot.
does it matter what version i flash? since im not really sure what version it had prior?
I can't figure out how to upload a photo I have xda 4.0, and can't post outside links yet. Anyway
It says
Product name:N900A
Current binary: Samsung official
System status official
Knox void status 0x0
Qualcomm Secureboot enabled(csb)
Ap swrev s2 t2 a2 a3 p2
Secure download enable
Udc start
Hope that helps
Ran Odin again with the settings you said, after the battery pull the phone says recovery booting, then turned off vibrated twice then same screen again and again. Thanks for the suggestion though any our ideas? I was searching and thought I seen somewhere that to unbrick it it needs to be the same firmware it had before, but I don't know what that was.

You should probably ask her if she had Lollipop. If she did then that narrows it down to OC1 or OC2.
She doesn't know, not very phone literate as far as software, any ideas? I read in another thread to flash a modified version of nc2 but can't seem to find that version, this is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006
Don't know if I can't find it, kinda confusing as far as what I need, like I said I've tried everything except oc2 cant find a link I've tried googling, and that thread says Odin files but can't find a full one for oc2, there's ones for safestrap but can't find Odin
Hi guys,
Please help me fix my Note 5!!!
Quick background story:
Bought it on ebay "As Is". Guy said it got stuck while using Samsungs smart switch software. Phone still has intact Knox ("0") so warranty is intact(but don't want to take warranty route right now). FRP Locked. Its on 6.0.1 and I think version PH2 (not sure, but when I tried emergency restore with smart switch it said restoring "PH2").
SM-N920T model.
Things I have done: (Used multiple cables, using Win10)
- Started with searching xda ofcourse (spent 6-7 hours on Sunday and then 3 yesterday ).
- Tried Emergency restore via Smart Switch. -- No success. It says something like cant restore.
- Used Odin 3.7, 3.10.6 & 3.12.6 to flash stock PH2 firmware from Sammobile. Odin flashes the rom now (it wasnt earlier when I tried flashing 5.1.1 rom) and when the phone reboots it stays at "Samsung Logo" and
doesnt move on.
- Cant get to recovery. It just does nothing when holding the buttons.
- I can only get to Download screen.
- @firefox50 suggested http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=3293306 . --No success. The software to repack the (boot.img, recovery.img, system.img) does not work for some reason. Tried using 7zip, but I cant find a way to combine the 3 img files into .tar files
So, I dont know what to do now. I was able to get my previous note 5 working by using odin but this one is just stuck.
I would really appreciate all the help.
Thanks.

I had the same problem today. Downloaded stock rom from sammobile, flahed through Odin and everything is ok.
I will try rooting it some other time. As I understood this is happening because you have google account active on your mobile thats causing security issue.
