I have a SD Galaxy note 8 (U)
Tried to update the phone recently but during the install the cable jiggled and the phone stopped updating. It's currently listing "Software Update Failed".
I tried to go into Download mode and it automatically shoots me to "Software Update Failed". Factory reset doesn't work and neither does Safe Mode.
I have odin up right now and it looks like it can see the phone, but when trying to flash the AP over it just says that it has failed.
I'm completely open to any help at all at this point to hopefully save my phone.
Have you tried an older firmware? Might be worth a shot
It wont list Download mode at all. Just says in the text on the top above software update failed "Please re-download the official system image"
Note, it will get to the part of the warning screen telling me to press volume up to goto download mode, but as soon as I do that it states Software Update Failed and the above message.
The only time the device is listed in Odin by the way is if I try to use safe mode and reopen Odin.
Fixed it.
The solution is to download the modded version of Odin and then get the latest stock firmware. Get to the screen where it says "Software Update Failed" and connect the phone to your computer. Load up the modded odin and the stock firmware and flash. You're set.
That's good to hear, have you got a link to the thread of the "Modded Odin" it'll be good to know/have, if I have that issue in the future.

OP can confirm for sure, but probably this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=75870740
Good to hear. phew.
So I suppose you were updating through Odin and the cable disconnected by mistake?

But he already said what he did. Now it's on your part to do some more searching and reading to understand what you are doing. Your phone definitely didn't brick itself.

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....

Are you using Kies 3 or just the regular Kies?
Try putting the phone in download mode yourself, then plug into kies 3
Still no

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...

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

KNOX Warranty Void: 1

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.

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

The imaged you linked is considered a download mode, you should be able to flash from it.
That being said, the error you got often means your internal memory is dead. Which also means that you can't get what was on it (Think of it as a hard drive that just died). Your best bet after trying to flash stock would be to partition an SD card and run from it (there's a guide on how to do it on here).

Try reinstalling your drivers to get your phone connected.
But I'm pretty sure you'll have to partition an SD card. Your internal memory sounds dead.

You gotta do some basic research. Here's the stock ROM (without bootloaders): http://www.mediafire.com/download/w..., NO Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe.zip
Just loat it up on Odin and flash away. You can't get in recovery cause your phone can't load anything atm, it needs a clean flash. Just make sure nothing interrupts Odin while it's flashing.

You can give Heimdall a shot (note that it will install its own drivers on the usb port you'll use it on so Odin won't work on it): http://www.mediafire.com/download/5..., NO Bootloaders, Wipe-Heimdall One-Click.zip
If that doesn't work, I can say at like 95% that your internal memory is dead and you'll have to partition an SD card if you wanna get it running. There are guides on how to do it on here.
I've seen that image often. Uninstalling then re-installing the usb drivers for Samsung helped me. Flashing a captivate can be a little convoluted granted all the different methods of acquiring root and flashing a rom that's been used through the years ... and subsequently posted somewhere on the internet. I'd suggest the following .... once your device is recognized in Odin.
1. Flash I897UCKK4 with Odin (no root) for gingerbread stock rom
2. Download and install KK4root. Run Kk4 root "run" exe in the kk4_root folder. Corn kernel is installed with modded recovery system
3. From Corn kernel recovery click "root extras" to get su and busy box installed
My wife was gonna install the latest update (Lollipop) today and her phone was encrypted and so she decrypted it to prepare it for installation. At 85% the phone said that it failed and that she had to do a factory reset and so she did but now it seems the bootloader or something messed up. I've tried flashing it with Odin and with the PIT file but with no success. I could really use some help here buddies...
I attached some pictures of what I see when I try to flash it in Odin and what it looks like in recovery.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

You tried flashing the boot loader thru Odin am I right? Did you try flashing the whole Firmware thru Odin? Did you put the phone on Download mode? Remember to take the battery out then boot to download mode by pressing and holding volume down+home+power button for about 3 seconds then let them go, phone will boot into Download mode, the connect your phone to pc, then Open Odin, make sure the Odin :COM is on light blue meaning they are both communicating, then go to www.sammobile.com and download the latest firmware for your device model, and follow the instructions, it have to work, but your phone will be restored to factory, good luck, cheers:fingers-crossed:

It may be stupid question but did you flash 3 files ROM or just one file (PDA if I remember well)? If it was second option, then you shouldn't use PIT.

Why don't you just download KIES and run recovery through that it is much more simple and reliable

Kies doesn't register it... it just says connecting. I tried to kies 3 and 2.6 just to make sure.
It sounds like the issue is with your USB cable maybe try a different USB port preferred in the back of the system not one upfront. Make sure you have mock locations and USB debugging on. The only reason keys wouldn't detect your device is if the drivers are incorrect
There's a feature "Reactivation Lock" in security settings. Make sure it is unchecked. It is a security feature to prevent anyone from changing your system Rom.

So let me give you a little background first. I was at my brother's house recording him dunk in superslowmo. All of a sudden, my phone freezes. After about 2-5 mins I decide To hold power +volume down and the phone goes black and goes to the "Samsung Galaxy note 9 secured by knox" screen and does a infinite reboot to that screen. The phone will not go into recovery mode BUT will go into Download Mode. I tried letting the phone completely drain and then trying it with no success.
I do have AT&T protection on my device but the only thing they will do is replace it which I'm trying to avoid being that I have pictures I want to extract from the phone.
So to my question(s)
1) if I flash latest version of firmware from sammombile will I lose my pictures? (Trying to avoid loss of pics)
2) can I use a MacBook to do the reflashing or does it have to be windows?
Please and thx to all that respond!!!
Once in download mode hold volume down and power to see if phone boots up. If you reflash with Odin use home_csc so it does not wipe your data. If you do get to recovery do not do a wipe, everything you have saved to phone storage will be gone. See if you can get to device storage by connecting to computer once your in download mode or recovery. If so just move all important files to computer then you can use Odin to flash firmware.

1) while flashing in Odin, the CSC file determines if your phones data is erased or not during the flash. In order to retain personal data, flash HOME_CSC..
2) you can use Jodin to flash on a Mac https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=20803

Once in download mode hold volume down and power to see if phone boots up. If you reflash with Odin use home_csc so it does not wipe your data. If you do get to recovery do not do a wipe, everything you have saved to phone storage will be gone. See if you can get to device storage by connecting to computer once your in download mode or recovery. If so just move all important files to computer then you can use Odin to flash firmware.

I'm going to try that now. Just look at what version of Windows I have and it's 8.1... does that make a difference of why the drivers won't install ?
This is the error message when I try "mss installwizard for samsung usb driver for mobile phones failed "

When I was installing smart switch it told me to "disconnect my device from pc"( which it read AS A Samsung phone)
But when it's all downloaded It just says connect device again but when I do the computer makes its sound and then nothing.
If I'm in device manager and I plug in my note 9 it pops up as 'sdm845' but says there are no drivers installed.
I uninstalled the Samsung drivers (even though it says failed) and I tried again and it said fail to install again
Okay if anyone Is still reading this.. If I switch up and use my Father's Macbook instead, does anyone know the necessary steps to continue on with the process? And keep in mind the state of my phone is in a boot loop and only goes to the download screen
I was just doing the whole chatting thing with a Samsung representative and they advise me to go to a place near me to do the reflashing.
but still the thing that's bothering me is that my PC isn't installing the drivers regardless.
without even thinking about my phone connected , I should be able to go on Samsung's website and download the drivers right off the website but when I do I get the "mss installwizard for samsung usb driver for mobile phones failed "
Install this drivers, reboot pc, open odin as administrator, connect phone in download mode.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this ? I seem to have a similar issue, where phone is in a continuous boot loop. It stays on powered by android screen for few secs and then restarts.
I cannot enter recovery mode, but can get into download mode. Have flashed via ODIN few times successfully, but same condition prevails.
Safe to assume MoBo is fried ?
Could be that the main storage in the motherboard is corrupted, which needs to be reformatted entirely.

Just a heads up, Google photos has free backups up to 15gb in full quality, or unlimited backup of 1080 for pics and videos. So at least from now-> forward a hardware issue won't ever cause you to lose pics again. You just need to open the app and setup backups.
