SM-N9200 Odin to TWRP CHINESE FAIL - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all here is my dilemma concerning my personal DD, the phone was bought new in 2015-6 brand new and is currently on Android 7.0! The phone is in my opinion still very relevant and can be made even more so (if) I can update the whole firmware to the recent Note10 UI as seen elsewhere??
The trouble that I have experienced is trying to install TWRP via Odin? What happens, it recognises the file to be used, I set the parameters and start! It moves reasonable quickly then suddenly stops - No errors on the Pc/Odin page BUT the phone moves from the download mode in English to Chinese with Warning triangle and remains there until I reboot phone which starts up as normal??
I cannot get past this, and do Not know why the Change to Chinese that I do Not read or understand, so I have a few Pics but the 2 that I think are telling I will add if possible?
I found something in an overall search via the net, but this was the only one and this though Unclear in it self did Not assist me! Would I be correct in saying that this may be unique in that neither pictures or any where as this error arose hence why my possible struggles? Please can someone help in Solving this puzzle thank you.

1st: welcome to xda
I understand you are still on stock rom, did you install other apps? always helpful to add as many details as possible
did you update to latest version via SEUS?
read here and compare your settings
then i read somewhere a hard reset would help (will restore default settings), consider it
cheers

don't get impatient and discouraged so fast, the response time is always variable
maybe you get an answer within minutes, maybe you don't get one for various reasons, help here is still optional and not mandatory, that's as it is
some here even have a real life
are you able to connect to internet in general, browse, read, whatever and only SMS don't work or is there a general connection setup problem? I would check that first (if not already done)
do you have a new X1? any idea about installed firmware (aka stock rom, when from SE)?
second thing you should consider is SEUS - the SE Update Service, you dl part of the connect software to your pc (go to SE home, support, select X1, ->update service, dl application) which then enables you to connect to SEUS
try to update to the latest firmware and retry sensing an sms
then drop some feedback
cheers

I should have asked earlier: is it a used X1? somehow doesn't sound like new...
search for software information, e.g under start - settings - system - about device (location depends on firmware version) and tell me what you find
get the device into bootloader and tell me what's displayed there, sounds like you are not on stock rom anymore
cheers
One simple thing. Did you check the sms service number? Its easy to forget this because nowadays it is common for smartphones (and dumb phones too) to get this number automatically from the sim card. Nonetheless I would check it to make sure you dont fall victim to such a basic detail. You can check it here: Phone\Settings\Services\Mailbox and SMS\
You can look for the correct number on your carrier's website (or you call them).
hello dear friends....I had some strange issue 2 days ago...my apps settings restore to time that I just installed them....
i would to hard reset my phone and it was a good time to doing it...so I did hard reset but after it another problem,call and SMS didn't work....some strange problems,so I Task 29 my phone but it hang on SE logo....
No way,I tried to SEUS my phone and this error appeared....
The Phone contain manipulated software and is not supported by this application
what I suppose to do???
First of all: Don't mess around with things like task 29 if you don't know what they actually do. Task 29 completely erases the rom section of your phone so it's no suprise your phone is no longer able to boot. Now you have to flash another rom in order to use your phone again.
Another remark, the fact that you use tools like task 29 and afterwards you try to use SEUS only confirms that you have no clue what you're actually doing. SEUS only works with original software, as soon as you change to a custom rom or even if you only install hard spl SEUS won't work anymore. So you need to read the corresponding tutorials (hard spl, back to spl, custom roms, task 29) and either get it done the right way or reverse to stock spl and rom. Good luck.
tnx dear friend for ur compelete answer,U are right,my mistake and I appriciate for ur guidence....
I have installed another ROM from SDcard and my problem is solved now,tnx again.....

Factory reset - Problem.

Greetings everyone!
Few weeks ago, I gave my device to a friend of mine to manually update it. Something went wrong so he decided not to go any further. Yday i tried to "Factory reset", after reset some error pop'd in the left upper corner of the phone.It says:
[LGE_SECURITY] ERROR: boot image signature
Critical failure: Unable to start kernel.
Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x00000002).
Anyone had any similiar or even the same problem as i am facing right now? Thanks in advance.
best regards, Milan
Guy didn't know what he was doing apparently. Your handset is still locked and he apparently tried installing a 3rd party ROM, lemme guess, you wanted a newer version of Android than 4.1., which is a reasonable enough thing. Problem is that out of the box you can't do that because it only boots images signed by LG and they abandoned development after releasing 4.1 and a couple of minor point releases. You aren't totally screwed but if you were having somebody else do it for you, you might need to get some help. You can find the details elsewhere here, or more likely point a more skilled friend at it, but here it is in a nutshell.
You need to get LG's official updating software (from the LG website) and you need to fiddle with it a bit until you get it to do a rescue because it expects to have already paired up with the phone while it was still working. If you already had it installed, great because it will make it easier. Anyway, you will probably have to manually pick your model and input the IMEI since it won't already know those things and it will go out and fetch the most recent image. You will push VOL Down and insert the USB cable from a powered down state, it will then do the rest. Good chance you will even retain your data unless that 'factory reset' you mention actually succeeded.
Of course that will only get you back to stock 4.1. Read around for the official way and several un-official ways to unlock your boot loader. Once that is done you can install a better recovery and then a newer version of Android. But the first step is to restore the stock software since you have to have a running phone to be able to unlock it.
And no, nobody has ever been able to explain WHY they lock them, but every single manufacturer seems determined to do it, chipmakers put a lot of work and ad copy into how extensive and unbreakable the locks on their newest chip is, etc. And then they either bow to customer demand and add an unlock feature or we here at xda do it for them... as a courtesy of course. Truly we do live in the asylum. Wonko the Sane was onto something.

Unfortunately, app has stopped in every rom ever flashed so far

Unfortunately, app has stopped in Marshmallow
Good morning in South Africa time to everybody !
I decided to post my situation in here since I can see that all of you are quite helpful and would be able to help me with my Lenovo K3 Note T3s, purchased recently
The strange thing is that I have older apps which I use but every, I mean every, ROM,for the T5, which I have installed to my Lenovo K3,and almost every app that I have installed, and when I run these apps,it returns an error stating...UNFORTUNATELY, xxx HAS STOPPED. Most of the apps do start, and when the error is displayed, i can still see the app in the background underneath the error text that is displayed, which seems that the app does start, but something is preventing it with displaying the error above, and shutting it down when I press on the OK text in the error
I have tried around five roms already, various ones, most from Needrom.com, made for the T5, and they all return the same error when running the newly installed app, its as if this phone has a built in security function that doesnt allow any apps to be installed and used! The original ROM was ok but too much of bloatware and chinese writing which required me to find a better rom
Currently as I type this, I am downloading a rom for the T3S from needrom.com, hoping that I dont receive this error anymore
I have installed an updated app on one of the roms and it worked and did not display the error, however, I use some apps that do not have a later updated version available which causes the error to be displayed.
Are there any ideas on what could be causing this ? I have tried a few things from what I have read via a google search but none has worked
Any ideas or help would be much appreciated!
PS: I will keep you guys informed of what happens from this time of writing as well, just in case I find the cause/solution and somebody out there is also going through the same problem.
Heres the latest update so far...
Installed Lenovo K3_Note_MTK6752_Android_5.0_20150513 ROM from http://www.teamandroiders.com/lenovo-k3-note-stock-rom-firmware/
Its Android version 5.0, and still the same problem, almost every app still gives me the same error.
Going to try a rom built for Lenovo K3 Note T3s and reply afterwards.

I hope be helpfull to you.

Thank you for your reply.
I came across a website that had a guide to try, two options were available, the first option I have tried and it worked, havent tried the second option though. The first option was the Android System Webview app, where, by opening it under apps in settings, and choosing to uninstall the update, it should help fix my error, and it did. There were one or two apps that still gave me the same error but most of the apps began to work after doing this.

update ASUS TF701T (k00c) android to latest version

Hi All.
I trust you well. I was wondering if I could request your assistance with updating my TF701T to a new version of android. I have tried many methods and none has worked. I am actually more confused now as to where to start and what to download and install. :silly:
If possible maybe direct me where I could get a step by step guide with the links to the correct downloads/procedure.
I imported the pad from USA to South Africa and barely used it.
Kind Regards
Rob
(h-tee-tee-pee-s) androidbiits.com/root-asus-transformer-pad-tf701t-easily/
probably use the versions of magisk + twrp that are linked at the site, as they are tested with that hardware -- the latest versions may not work. i do not own that particular device and am not a programmer -- just trying to help you out. search the web for info if anything is confusing in the instructions -- i can't really walk you through it, but the person at that site may be able to help you out if you get stuck.
you'll need to connect the asus pad to a computer, so you'll need the usb data cable & adb installed on the computer.
you will likely also need open gapps to get the play store + apps working. select processor type, android version, then variant. you can find it here ==> (h-tee-tee-pee-s) opengapps.org <== but i'm not sure how long that will be functional, as hosting is apparently migrating to sourceforge.
please note that there are no w's in either address mentioned previously.
here's an explanation of gapps ==> (h-tee-tee-pee-s + w's) androidfreeapks.com/apk/download-gapps-for-android/
...and there are also download links for various variations at that last address too. cheers!
you will not be able to install *the latest* version of android (it's just plain not out there as a mod for a device this old) but you *can* get something a bit newer than the stock version on it.
best of luck!
one last thing (pertaining to the very first thing you have to do) is unlock the bootloader.
(h...s + w's) asus.com/us/Tablets/The_New_ASUS_Transformer_PadTF701T/HelpDesk_Download/
you will find the utility to do so at the above site. select Android, then under "Utilities"
click "See All Downloads" - therein, the 2nd thing from the bottom in that section is the unlock tool,
which says: Unlock Device App. V1.o (there's only one thing with that name. size is 448.82 kb)
and it will only work from the stock Android version, which i assume is still functional on your device.
Magisk is apparently a newer replacement for SuperSU, which doesn't flag the system as altered...
therefore you *may not* need to install Gapps if using Magisk - that seems logical to me, but i am not certain.
thanks for the assistance Dorkus.........this is killing me....but I will keep the faith and try again
I am trying myself and cannot get the unlock tool to work, performed wipe data reset without google account and still "network error occurred" . Android version 4.4.2

Same here. I tried to contact Asus but no hope... We're completely blocked unless they do something? No other way to unlock?
greetings all, it is i, dorkus, of the house of mallorcus. haha. my name is actually reni.
xda keeps locking me out for some reason. i've now created 2 accounts (3 including the one from which this comment is posted) one even with a dedicated e-mail address just for this, but if i try to log in with either one, i get some "invalid" whatever message. admins: what have i said that was grossly incorrect? those links may not be presented in absolutely the most coherent way, but they're the best reasonable explanations of the procedure involved that i could find with about an hour or 2 of research, which i did because of intending to get one of these devices myself (which has now occurred! yay). besides that, who else with greater experience has chimed in on this thread? yes, i've reset my password, on both accounts. after i do so, both times: same "invalid" message. it's wasted over an hour of my time, when i'm just trying to help these people. it's highly annoying & if it continues, well, they'll just have to go it on their own.
to the point:
as luck would have it,
i was able to acquire one of these devices, still in superb condition, for a great deal from ebay. i have been in contact with Asus support & the word is: it's an EOL product, so the unlock servers have been shut down & there is currently no recourse end users have for unlocking their devices. i feel it's doubtful that they'll fire up a server again, but maybe we can pester them enough to develop a fastboot unlock tool? it sure would have been nice if it worked like that in the first place, but oh well, like the song says:
you can't always get what you want.
i will surely let you all know if am able to make any progress on unlocking my TF701T.
footnote: i also have a TF700 model which is in fact unlocked, has TWRP installed, and is running Android 5.1.1 {zombie-pop} which works a bit better than the Cyanogen mod flavor that it came to me with: somewhat improved user experience, maybe a little snappier too, but speed improvement is fairly minimal. most importantly, almost all of my apps work on it - a few don't even have an installer for Android 4 at the Play Store. the 701 is noticeably more responsive than the 700 model, even running 4.2.2 - the main issue with it for me is not being able to run all of my apps, some of which are purchased. i'd probably sell the 700 if i could get everything on the 701. oh well. it's an excellent reader + portable video viewing device even at stock. it's definitely worth what i paid in the condition received, but it'd be even better if i could unlock the bootloader & get a newer version of Android on it! i could possibly even be so happy that i'd float a couple bux Tim Duru's way, the guy primarily responsible for porting Android 6+7 (the latter of which apparently does not have a working camera) to this device.
footnote #2: the first day i got the 701, i tried to do a firmware update (proper region, latest available. full battery charge. the battery in the one i picked up is in fantastic condition, the thing is practically brand new + functions nicely... but now Asus won't let me unlock it, even though it's well out of warranty! grrrrr) which crashed mid-way & then it proceeded to get into an update / crash boot loop. i was pretty sad for a while, but did not give up & found a way to restore the original firmware (which turned out to be a very minor upgrade) from the SD card, thanks to information in a post here in the xda forums. that post is the link which follows. my thing would still go into fastboot (albeit slightly corrupted) + recovery mode, which enabled an SD card firmware flash to happen {...and lo, my little slab of Jelly Bean was resurrected...} so i did not require the NvFlash tool at all... but it's still there at the provided links in that thread.
to summarize the procedure:
1) format an SD card to fat32
2) download the appropriate firmware from Asus [**please note the region: if you flash the firmware from a wrong region onto your device, you will -hard- brick it + will then be required to use the NvFlash tool**]
3) un-zip the firmware (not completely, just remove nesting - so you have only one zip file)
4) rename the one remaining zip file: t4_sdupdate.zip
5) put that file on the root directory of SD card, then into the tablet (while turned off)
6) invoke recovery mode (power + vol down) & choose the recover [RCK] box (hit volume up, while it's the selected of the 3 choices) and from there the firmware update happens automatically. you can apparently upgrade to any official firmware by this method, but **cannot** downgrade... so i'd suggest leaving it at 4.2.2 until we are 100% sure that there are zero bootloader unlock options, because apparently the unlock tool, from what i understand, only works from the original 4.2.2
without further ado:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf701/tf701t-nvflash-unbrick-solutiontested-t3742848
it's now a few hours later from my original post, near bedtime for me, and the xda gods let me log into this account to make this edit... and it's even allowing URLs now! will wonders never cease? not sure what the problem was earlier, but it was quite annoying. anyway, if it lets me log into the account with the dedicated xda e-mail address, that's the one i'll use in future. username is renigade.

Hope someone can help you fix your N9.
Bad news odin and such wont help. Right now you are what's called soft locked you have 1 recourse and that is factory reset. Using adb it might be possible to pull off a backup of the file system but that is still it. If you get a readable backup you are still going to need factory reset. The only thing that would have helped would be twrp and nandroid backups you could have loaded them or used twrp to mount the emmc to copy off. And since you are stock you might have encrypted the emmc and sd card and if that is the case nobody can help you you only have 1 option and that is factory reset and restore from syncronized backup.
What's more is this isn't an issue of a maligned 3rd party theme needing to be overwritten it is from an official store on a stock device. Good news is you seem to have signed into samsung cloud backup and perhaps linked a google account to the phone so the auto backup should restore your contacts and txt messages.
