[Solution] HC 3.1 OTA Difficulties 13% + Stock ODIN

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??

soft-bricked odin passes same result

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

Please Help..Sprint Note 5..Boot issues?

Ok here is my issue. I have been flashing droids for years without a single issue. I got my Note 5 about 2 months ago and decided to flash it since it was possible for the Sprint model. Flashing went as normal, perfect. I flashed a custom ROM, MOAR, and it was working great. No issues, very amazing ROM by the way. I then went and made a back up with TWRP and saved it to my OTG flash drive. I then proceeded to change the boot image, the one that says "Samsung" logo, because I had seen a tutorial on how someone did that on a Note 5. Now comes my problem. After flashing the new boot image, my Note 5 WILL NOT boot up. It will charge, as it does show it charging, I can get it into Download Mode. and that's it, just Download Mode. No recovery mode, no boot image, just Download Mode. I want to know if it's possible to use the backup that got from TWRP, which was a full backup, and use it with Odin to flash it back to the way phone was before this mishap, reinstall the correct boot image, or WHATEVER I need to get my phone up and running again. Thank you very much to anyone and everyone that can help me out

I would use download mode and a full firmware package to get it back working and booting , and once that works , I would use my backup to return to where i was.

Do you know where I could get one? I need this phone up and running really bad. I just went to Sprint and they said they were going to charge me $75 to look at and if it needed to be fixed it would be $350. I can't afford that. So ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry about not answering earlier. You should get your firmware from www.sammobile.com , just search your model # (Note 5 are : SM-N920XX ) where the XX is carrier dependant. Sign up to their site and take the slow download. Then flash the firmware in download mode , using odin on your pc.

can u post the model no (Note 5 : SM-N920XX ) ...???

Just wanted to say thank you for the reply. I've been downloading the firmware for the past 2hrs now.lol. It was the "newest" upload they had for the firmware. If for whatever reason this doesn't work, GOD please it work, what should next? Thank you.

Well I flashed the new firmware(N920PVPU2BPG1_N920PSPT2BPG1_SPR) last night with Odin and to no avail it did not work. I still get only a black screen when trying to normal boot, still can't boot into recovery, but still can boot into Download Mode. I don't know what to do at this point. I have never had this happened.

Help on S10!

I was running the current version of Android 10 and wanted to downgrade to Android 9. I went and got the correct version of the stock rom from Sammobile and used Odin to flash it. The cable got unplugged while it was going through the flashing process and now I'm stuck on the option of connecting my phone to smartswitch to restore from backup, which I was able to. I'm also able to go back to the screen where it says "downloading, do not turn off target and I see this.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated before I go to ubreakifix for this. And my phone is still under warranty.

Have you tried using the firmware that was already on it before you tried flashing it.also try going into download mode using the button combination

Just flash the stock firmware, 4 files in odin u should be good

Odin stock flash not working, don't know what else to try SM-N960U

Hello everyone- I hope someone can give me some advice i haven't tried yet on my issue. This is my first post and i searched through a million forums for ideas, my apologies if i missed anything or if anything below is unclear. I tried to list everything out that i have tried in case i missed anything.
Note 9 - SM-N960U (TMB) went into a boot loop randomly (possible after a Samsung update as it happened overnight).
Steps I've taken so far:
- Tried the normal steps first as instructed by Samsung, clear cache-partition, factory reset device etc - still stuck in boot loop.
- Took phone to authorized Samsung service center, they could not fix. phone now on blue screen "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software"
- Smart switch recovery software would not recognize the phone, updated drivers multiple times, still no detection.
-Downloaded stock TMB firmware from SamMobile (N960USQS9FUG2) - Tried to flash with Odin (versions 3.13 and 3.14 - patched and unpatched) kept getting stuck at vendor.img.ext4 in CSC file or system.img.ext4 in the AP file.
-Tried to Re-Partition without Pit file and with the pit file - PIT file name: CROWNQLTE_USA_SINGLE.pit - Odin would get stuck on same files.
-Tried to re-partition with Nand Erase selected and Pit file attached - Odin would freeze at setting the partition.
Is there anything else i can try or is this phone officially a paper weight?

You are able to flash firmware from the emergency screen. When one of my devices did this I was able to get things up and running with Odin flash from that screen. I can't remember what partition was broken when it happened on my Note 8, but the only way to fix was putting in new mother board. I'm not saying go this route. Might try combination firmware. I'm sure someone will chime in if I am wrong. I tried to flash stock on my SM-N950U after being rooted. It would show pass in Odin but would never boot..just bootloader. As I said above my only option was new motherboard. I wish I could find the message from a developer that helps me a ton, and which partition it was that was the issue. If I find it I will let you know.

Thanks for the reply @butchieboy, If you find those messages i would definitely appreciate it! I should have specified that i was able to run the Odin flash from the recovery page. That's a good idea to try combination firmware, never done it before though. Would i just try an older AP or CSC with the up to date other files? or just a combination of old and new and see if something happens?
Overall i think i may be in the boat you were in with your Note 8- something seems seriously wrong with the memory partitions that seem like it may be unfixable via flash. i'll have to see if i can find a motherboard that's worth the price to see if it's worth it at this point.

Combo firmware needs be on same bootloader that you are currently on
