I have a Tmobile Note 4. I had it rooted and had towel root installed on it. I bought a new phone and removed SD card & installed it in new phone and wiped the card. This was my first mistake. I decided I did not want to keep new phone and tried to go back to my note 4. I tried a factory reset but it only booted into the towel root boot load. I tried using its setting and deleted things there and tried reset. This was my 2nd mistake. Now when you reboot the phone it flashes in blue and says TEAMWIN and goes blank. I can get phone into download mode. So I tried KIES but it says cannot use device. I have tried odin but nothing has worked every thing I try fails. Is there anyone out there that can point me in the right direction? I need to get this phone working. The big problem is I cannot remember what OS version I was running. No backups available either.
Any advice?

Explain why Odin doesn't work? What does it say?
Do you have Samsung drivers installed? Are you using original USB cord? Did you download correct firmware for your device?

Explain why Odin doesn't work?
I do not know why it doesn't work. I used it when I rooted device 2 years ago. I have tried every tmobile rom I could dl.
What does it say? FAIL
Do you have Samsung drivers installed?
YES
Are you using original USB cord?
YES
Did you download correct firmware for your device? I dl every version for my phone.
I booted in towel and in one of the menus i tried to wipe phone. I know all is not lost because I can get into dl mode. Just super frustrated after three days of trying. There has to be a way to completely reformat and clear towel off phone.

So heres the synopsis on what my issue is:
first of all-
phone: Samsung Captivate build 1010
current OS: (botched install of Darky 8)
problem: no recovery menu capability, stuck in reboot loop (will not go past ATT Logo), can go into download mode but odin does not see the phone
I botched a Darky 8 install. I attempted to install the rom to my captivate via rom manager but to no avail. I then decided to give the install a try via clockwork and had luck. the rom was not to my liking so I went to mount the internal sd and proceeded to delete all files internally to make a fresh odin install possible (as I always do). It was at the time of restarting my phone that I realized the rom I install was accidently the I9000 rom on my captivate, thus forth being a possible source of my issue. Currently I have a phone that is stuck in a reboot loop any time I plug it into a power source, or attempt to power it on. While in said loop the phone will not go past the ATT logo, and as it cycles, at the I9000 screen a robot voice pops up saying restore system. Ive attempted to reflash back to stock with the stock captivate odin3 OCD, but I am having no luck with the phone being recognized by odin (run as admin). I am currently running Mac OSX 10.6 with windows vista on Virtual Box 4.0, and have had luck previously with flashing the phone back to stock after I decided to try new versions of cognition. Currently my phone can only go into download mode and not recovery due to the boot loop. please help asap, this my only means of communication with my family on the other side of the states
Try multiple USB ports/different computers if possible. I had a similar issue after flashing an i9000 rom. I could get into recovery but the power button wouldn't work for selections and in download mode my computer wouldn't recognize it. I just kept at it and eventually it worked.

going to try, redoing my virtual box in hopes that it was something stupid, and also trying the other usb port on my macbook.
Have you tried using a different cable? I had the same issue with a bad flash and Odin would not pick up my phone. If it did, it would nit complete the flash back to stock. I switched cables and it worked fine.

sadly I wished that work, I tried using adb reboot recovery, and in the attempt, the phone was not able to be detected. Should this be done in hopes to catch it at the right time in the boot loop or in download mode. Ive tried both.
So can you still get into Download mode? If so I would suggest finding another computer to use. For some reason, last week, my PC that I have been using to flash for months decided not to recognize my phone in download mode.
So I switched to my laptop, loaded the ROM. I tried reinstalling drivers and all kinds of stuff but nothing worked. I backed up my PC and re-imaged it and it's working again.
Another person on here had to go and manually remove all references to the USB Driver and re-install it.
I would say just try re-installing (with the phone in DL Mode) the USB drivers with the phone plugged in and see what happens then. Hopefully the OS will detect the phone and you should be golden.
And that mechanical voice is voodoo... need to be careful what folders your deleting even if you are going to flash ODIN.

Odd I was told your perfectly fine to do so, and then from there do an odin flash. Ive done it before, but oddly enough I think what screwed me was because I did it during while in the rom, vs while in 2.1. I just wanted to try to get a clean slate. doing the master clear code from samsung never really deletes the left overs from say clockwork and such on my internal sd.
problem was the virtual machine, plugged it into a friends computer and all was done within a couple of mins. leave it to emulation falling short :/
HI XDA
I got this sgh-t599 tmobile phone yesterday. (didn't realize it was rooted) messed around/did factory reset without backup.
now im stuck in CWM recovery 6.0.3.6, Ive spent several hours readind and trying to fix this with no luck.
I tried using adb, kies etc. none can detect device. device drivers are installed(tried 'have disk'), it shows Samsung under device manager.
I can device list in adb and shows the numbers and "recovery" but when i try to use commands it says "waiting for device" or something.
from what i read, i need unsecure boot to restore firmware. where can i get this and how do i do it pls.
i have no mount usb option in cwm, when i try to recover/update from cwm it says aborted. in adb im able to reboot the phone with the commands but always reboots to cwm recovery or waiting for device. any help pls. i may have access to another rooted t599 if i am able to backup and recover it to this phone?:crying:
do you think local phone repair shop can fix this back to stock or rooted and for how much?

You must have format system or something. A factory reset wipes cache and data, nothing else. There should be a homebrew odin-file somewhere in these t599 threads.

phone was rooted and had superuser etc on it. I didn't know about rooting, I did factory reset from the main menu which im pretty sure is what caused this. before that I was able to look through its apps where I saw the superuser,terninal and others, once factory reset it rebooted to cwm recovery and stuck there. there was no backup or side sdcard. only realized it was rooted after saw the cwm and stuck
odin doesnt detect phone either, downloaded/installed universal drivers still no go.
main issue is not being to able enable usb debug/download while still in cwm
repair shop says $30, about to run there
i caused my friends sgh-t599 to do that
So... This might be late.... But I'm going to postthis for others .... So I was looking for ever for a way to unbrick his phone... Then hope Finley came .. After I read hard enough .. And came across a post for a stock pre-rooted tar file to be flashed with Odin...

I'm a newbie on XDA so pardon anything that I might do "wrong"
So I was using safestrap recovery to play around with some custom roms, and I was going to switch to a new rom so I thought I was going to delete everything from Rom-Slot 1, but actually ended up going to the section where you can check off everything you want to delete from the the rom. I ended up checking all except micro SD card, and ended up deleting all the data from the stock rom by accident. I tried restarting the phone but all I see now is a stuck "Galaxy Note 3" on boot-up.
I've tried using Odin (with the BL AP CP CSC and PIT files ) to flash back and Oneclickbin.exe, but none work. They all give me a fail message shortly (or a couple minutes) after I press start
Additional notes:
Rooted with kingo root
I got the OTA update on the stock rom (The one with the black stock keyboard)
Please Help!!!
How do I fix this?!?!
UPDATE: Problem not fixed, but when I try to turn on the device, it now says:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
I plugged my phone in the computer and kies can't connect to the device....

I'm using Kies 3 and tried emergency recovery. It didn't work. Kies 3 actually doesn't even recognize my note 3 as a supported device, but I attempted the recovery anyway. I can get to step in the recovery where the recovery window on my computer says, "Do Not disconnect your device from the PC" but the loading bar never goes past 0%, then after a while it'll give me another fail message...

Hi so I was trying to use CF to root my phone and ended up screwing it somehow and bricked. I thought I'd followed the instructions well enough but I obviously did something wrong. Now my phone is stuck saying it needs to recover with Kies. This is my first Samsung phone but I'm not new to Android.
I tried installing the stock firmware through ODIN but everytime I flash it gets to installing the system ext4 and fails. I also wasn't able to recover using Kies(not even sure how you use it tbh).
If anyone could help me it would be mucho appreciated. I'm pretty pissed at myself right now.

Your phone is NOT bricked. If it was the screen would not even go on.
Have you tried going into recovery mode (VolumeUP/VolDown/PowerButton)
and once in Recovery Mode do a factory reset or Data Reset forgot what the
exact wording is in the stock recovery.
If you flashed twrp recovery it's ok too, just select "factory reset".
After doing that the phone should no longer display anything about Kies.
If you get to the twrp recovery screen you should be able to flash a stock
rooted rom without any issues.
If all you get is the stock recovery screen then you should be able to odin
flash the official Samsung Note 4 kitkat 4.4.4 NJ7 firmware which you may
need to download the firmware from http://SamMobile.com if you don't
already have it. (be sure you have the correct firmware for the Note 4 N910T).
Be 100% sure that the phone is FULLY POWERED DOWN before going
into Download Mode to avoid odin errors and issues.
Good luck!
Thanks man. I had tried Odin at my office and nothing doing.
Got home took my time and was real calm about things and voila. May have been an md5 issue with the firmware file. Just relieved I didn't have to RMA it.

Can you check for the file with md5 before you flash from your phone? I forgot where to dig for this info.
All I I have done before is on my cook rom file, I just open it with WinRAR and test for error. If no error, then its good.
On my Home PC I have a program that will put a check mark next to a file if it matches the md5. I also have Winrar at home.
I was just using the default Windows zip program and I have had problems with that and installers/roms in the past.
The only other things I did different were I removed the SD card and installed the drivers before plugging my phone in instead of letting Windows download them automatically.
I also removed the battery after I left work so it was out of the phone for a couple of hours.
The final thing I did was calm down lol after the initial shock of seeing a softbricked screen on my brand new phone.
I'm all rooted now with TWRP and running Hyperdrive so it's all smooth sailing from this point forward.
You should check md5 on phone once you done transferred to phone from PC
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Anyone please help. I am fairly new too the whole Android scheme of things and everywhere I look I see gibberish all talk about Roms and flashes and I don't know what to do. I have a Galaxy Note 4 in a rebbot loop, I tried to root with this thing called kingo root. And I rebooted my phone and it doesn't turn on it goes to the T-Mobile screen then powers off and repeats the process. I need to know how to factory reset the phone. I already tried to wipe the phone in recovery and same problem. I don't want a root or custom OS I just want to get the phone working. And as dumb down as possible. I'm so used to the one click jailbreak on iPhone and not the complexity of rooting and it screwed me over. I just want to know how to reset the phone and get it working.
Thanks
Lollipop 5.1.1 was what it was running and I have an SD Card if I need to reset from external since ik that's an option.

Look on here how to Odin 5.1.1. Thatll give you a fresh start. I suggest staying away from kingoroot or king root. Use cf-autoroot.

This could help you also - you could try to re-root and flash the kernel in this video that should get you going.

Look for a program called odin 3.10 and dl it to deaktop. Then dl 5.1.1 firmware . Also dl twrp 2.8 or higher . Once you have everything put phone into dl mode by holding power ,home and volume down. Once in dl open up odin and connect your phone to computer. Click pda and look for the twrp and flash it. Once done put phone into recovery by pressing power,home and up volume. Once in recovery wipe to factory reset. Now put phone back into dl mode and do the same with the firmware you dl. Make sure you extract the 5.1.1 file and it's a tar so you can flash it. Once it's ready flash the tar and you should be back to stock with no problem.
