Upgrade Note SM-N960F with ODIN. Bootloop now. Please help me. - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I had a Note 9 SM-N960F (region XSG) that was ROOTED with Magisk and running Android 8 (Oreo).
I downloaded updated Android 10 firmware for my phone and region (via Samfirm). I placed BL, AP, CP, and HomeCSC files in correct positions. Ran ODIN. PASSED!
But it's bootlooped now.
I can get into "Downloading" and "Stock Recovery." What do I do???
Please help. I'm stuck.

Yes all info will be deleted and you cannot backup anything on this boot loop stage.
But you have to do factory reset anyway otherwise your device won't boot.

After many, many, many bootloops with STOCK FIRMWARE (correct regional and model for my phone), I FINALLY figured it out.
1. First, I used ODIN to flash TWRP.
2. I went into TWRP and I did a full wipe. This deleted my phone completely. No operating system.
3. Next, I went to DrKetans website and downloaded the Android 10.1 firmware he created for the Note 9 (SMN960F). I put that file on a MicroSD card and placed it in my phone.
4. I entered TWRP on my phone and flashed the file on my MicroSD.
5. My phone FINALLY loaded. But I had no reception.
6. So I downloaded the modem file from his site and flashed it via ODIN. I did NOT flash the BL file because i didn't want to mess up the bootloader again.
7. Rebooted my phone with reception.
Hope this helps someone out there.

Hello, I'm having exactly the same problem. I went back to stock from cm10, but now I have a bootloop (boots until samsung logo and reboots.)
I think I just need to wipe data, but I can't access recovery. I even flashed cwm a few times and flashed the stock rom with a pit file, but I'm still stuck on samsung logo.
So, any help?

Hi, I had exactly the same problem, flashed the stock firmwire but it gets stuck on samsung logo, flashed few CWMs but nothing. I really didn't know what to do, then my battery became critical so i connected it to the pc and let it charge. While charging, I tried to acces the CWM recovery (home+volume up+volume down + power) and BAM! It opened recovery, I deleted all user data, cache and factory reset, rebooted and it worked.
Try to flash stock rom
Flashing stock rom didn't work.

Hi All,
I was struggle with bootloop issue for 3 days. I got my problem when I forgot to wipe phone returning ROM 10.2 to stock rom. Before I didn’t have any problems with getting to recovery mode but after I was not able to get to CWM. Also did try (vol+) (vol-) (home) hold while odin reset all I get RUMDAMP ARM9. Same when trying to hold recovery combination while normal boot. I have no problems with getting to Download mode.
Phone show Samsung animation and then vibrate once, pause, vibrate twice.
What work for me.
Recovery Combination = (vol+) + (vol-) + (home) + (pwr)
1. With odin 3.04 (don know if version matters I hade SS_DL.dll in same folder as odin) I install cwm-6.0.3.3-b2-jena.tar.md5
2. It restarted and get boot loop again
3. When I hold recovery combination phone didn’t boot. But what did I remove battery plug it again. Press (pwr) and immediately (maybe 0.5 sec) I hold rest of the recovery combination. Phone boot and show me logo so I release the buttons. To my surprise I did boot to CWM. (don’t know way but I didn’t do wipe immediately but I restart did try it again to be sure if this works – and it did, at least for me)
Rest was easy (WIPE Factory Reset, Cache, Dalvik Cache and just in case fix permission) restart and did boot to Stock ROM. For some unknown reason now I can normally CWM just buy holding combination and releasing as soon as Samsung logo show up.
I hope this will help somebody.
Now im using CM 10.1 07/07
My phone is S6500D no NFC
Cheers,
Maciej

When using a new slot theres no need to wipe, it's a fresh slot just clear cache and dalvic and your good.
you need odin to flash firmware not Safestrap, google or search xda for odin firmware at&t note 3 :good:

Install Android 6 without root?

As the tittle says. Can I install Android 6 in my s5 mini without rooting? Or unrooting later. I have G800H model. Can I do it with odin? If someone can write the steps for me or paste some tutorial I'll be very grateful!

If you Flash TWRP recovery trough Odin, like it is mentioned in another thread all about flashing, you can install CM13 (which is basically Android 6). You don't have to install SuperSU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...install-twrp-custom-roms-g800f-t3439853/page1
This explains just how you do it, of course you have to flash files specific for G800H and not for G800F if you have the Snapdragon version.

Thanks for answering. I think I screwed up a little. Installed twrp and rooted then I tried to install CM but it failed. I read that the reason is I got an old version of TWRP. So I wiped all but I still have TWRP and rooted. How can I wipe everything? And start as you indicated me? And where can I find a TWRP updated version because I can't find a compatible with S5 mini in the official website.
So many thanks in advance!

Just go to Androidfilehost.com and search for hennymcc than go into his CM13 directory for S5 Mini and download the TWRP there. You can flash it via Odin. Then you don't have to root. Just install CM13 from the same directory. No need to root at all. If you want to, just flash SuperSU which you can find on Google.
If you want to wipe, you can do that in TWRP under the option wipe -> advanced wipe -> and mark data, cache, dalvik cache and system.
Thanks again! I downloaded the recovery you told me. There's just a part that I don't get well:

Doing that I will erase the old recovery and the root? Because It's weird that recovery autodelete itself. Or how I have to do to delete the old recovery and the root? Or if i flash it with odin the new recovery will replace the old one?
Sorry and thanks in advance!

Hi Zocker1304 and anyone else who wants to help. I downloaded the twrp from hennymcc from Androidfilehost.com and flashed with odin but now the recovery is broken. I lost the twrp and the original recovery too. When I try to go to recovery I get this message: Could not do normal boot. And goes to odin mode. What should I do? I'd like to delete everything and put it all again from zero.
Thank you in advance!

Go to advanced tab on Odin and activate Nand erase all. I don't know if that will help, but activate that and than flash Stock again. That will erase everything.

Aaaaaaah you are on Stock right? If you are on Stock:
Flash the TWRP I told you via Odin and right after the flash finished press the buttons to enter recovery. DONT LET IT REBOOT! if it reboots, you have to try again. You have to go into TWRP right after flashing, because otherwise TouchWiz restores the stock recovery. It only does that on the first reboot. Once you were in TWRP, it stays.

I totally did it that way! because that's what the tutorial says. And eventhough it failed. So I don't know what's the problem
Maybe I need root after all and that's why it don't work. I tried a couple of times more and still had the problem

There are other recoverys but TWRP works fine and is the best recovery in my opinion. And no, you can flash any zipaligned ROM with the recovery.

Softbricked need help

Somehow I softbricked factory resetting my device and cannot find official software for it anywhere. It is the T-Mobile T818T.
It keeps rebooting into TWRP and won't go into system at all. Smart switch doesn't recognize it. So I need the Odin file.

I am not sure if the odin file is available for this model. Try a 'Format Data' from TWRP, in case if it is related to encryption.

If you can't find the firmware, make a backup and put it on your computer. If you ever screw up the firmware you will thank yourself.

stuck in bootloop, i have no history about what happened before

hi guys, a friend of mine gave e this samsung galaxy tab S2 SM-T715 32GB that is stuck on bootloop, he said nothing about what he has done to it (sadly) all i know is that it's stuck in bootloop and it's impossible to access the recovery... what i've tried so far is this:
- find a TWRP and flash it with odin v3.14, which works but when the tablet reboots it's stuck on bootloop and i can't access the recovery
- find and flash an older version of the TWRP that's for the android 5.1 stock rom, flashed in and worked, though i can't access it after the reboot
- find and flash the latest OFFICIAL rom which works because when i get into the download mode i see "samsung official" on "binary" and not "custom" as it was after the previous tries
if anyone has an idea about what i should do please help me ^^ the tab is still in good condition and would be a waste to throw in the garbage tbh

Try perhaps with Frija in place of samfirm and perhaps with heimdall (under Linux but also windows I think) in place of Odin.

mine is still up >30 hrs so looking promising. I've been working on it for 8 months or more. Thinking back, looking at the flash in "edl mode" guide . . .

This is a generic guide that could be suitable for many Qualcomm based devices, once the phone can be triggered to EDL mode. To make sure this guide will work as expect, following requirements are needed: - Know how to trigger the phone to EDL...
forum.xda-developers.com
. . maybe this is how I should have done it, but mine was stable in download mode.
In the end this is what I did ymmv.
flash back to 5.0.2stock with heimdall,
flashing twrp3.1.0-1, format internal partitions,
reflash 5.0.2stock, & twrp3.1.0-1.
edit: after 1 day it is rebooting again. groan.
