this is the part i did
Recommended Steps For Flashing.
Put phone into download mode
In odin select Your valila copy of the kies update and put in PDA option box
then select the posted TWRP and put in phone.
click start to flash and watch the progress,
AS SOON AS IT finishes the flash with writing the second recovery image hold down VOL UP AND VOL DOWN for the reboot, the device is now in recovery with twrp
you can either do adb sideload (choose advansed on main menu) to apply the patch or adb push and place on the sd-card (Note in recovery the phones internal memory is /emmc and the sd-card is /sd-card , so it you dont have a sd-card inserted you must use adb push filename.zip /emmc/)
once the file is sideloaded ( or installed via twrp install menu option for adb push users)
then do a factory reset once more.
Enjoy your Cherry ROM

My Dear Friend Just Install a Recovery Like CWM OR TWRP
Your Problem Will Be Solved

[solved]How To Root Samsung Galaxy Note SHV-E160L (New Method)
Basic Requirements:
Samsung Galaxy Note (SHV-E160L)
Computer
USB data Cable
Phone Charger (You won’t expect your phone to die of the battery during rooting)
Now we move on to our step by step procedure. (Do follow each and every step and read them carefully to avoid any problem for which we will not be responsible.)
Root Samsung SHV-E160L
Procedure To Root Samsung Galaxy Note
1. First you have to download all the drivers for Samsung SH-E160L on your Computer.
2. The second and most important thing to do is, enabling USB debugging. For this, you will find Developer options in your Settings option and then Enable USB Debugging.
Developer Options
In Android 4.2.2 the Developer mode is hidden and to unhide it, go to Settings and then in about option go to System Information. Inside this, you will find Software information, and then there you will see “More” option, inside which you will get Build Number. Tap on this option for 5-8 times and then a message will appear, “You are now a Developer” which means that the developer option is now shown under your settings option that was earlier not present.
3. Now the next step is to download vRoot(search in google and download) and install it on your Computer.
4. Now open vRoot and then mount your Samsung Galaxy Note to your computer through a USB cable.
5. The vRoot will automatically search for your smartphone once its connected to your computer and it will automatically detect when your phone is attached.
6. Now, click on your phone name in vRoot and in the next window that appears, you will see a root button. Just, click on it.
7. The vRoot software will automatically start rooting the phone and will automatically install SuperSU app in it.
8. Now you have Successfully Rooted your Samsung Galaxy Note SHV-E160L. To verify that you have successfully rooted your phone, go to your menu and then search for SuperUser app. If you found that app then it means the device is successfully rooted and if not, then please repeat the process carefully.
Note: Your Manufacturer Warranty gets Void when you root your phone. It means that they will charge you for any damage that you cause to your device. So proceed after making your mind and making clear of what are you doing. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT YOU CAUSE TO YOUR DEVICE DURING ROOTING.
If for any reason you want to Rollback all you have done, then go to Play Store and just Download SuperSU (ChainFire) and install it. After installation, open the app, move to Settings and then select Full Unroot. Your device will be brought back to the earlier stage.

"NAND WRITE START!" BRICKED or NOT?

"NAND WRITE START!" from Odin when trying to flash a Brand new S3 i9300.Problem from the box.
No service centre here.
Thanks
Why is it so hard to post in the right section for some? You drive in the opposite lane with you care also? "didn't bother looking for signs or search for other cars so sorry daaah"
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Stop ****ing around with it! If you don't know what your doing....don't do it! Seriously man.....
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Noted, After opening the box ,the client wanted latest whatsapp plus a new dialup pad app.After that handset hung and rebooted in samsung i9300 only.Download mode ok but same error.
I find it really helpful of you all to just yell at someone who is trying to find an answer. I have the same problem, and I am not inexperienced with flashing phones. The question still remains: Can there be something done via Odin or adb or whatever or is it a case for repair.
I would really, really appreciate to get some useful answers. I can **** myself I don't need others to do this.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I have found a solution thanks to a very helpful friend who found the relevant post here on xda (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27995287&postcount=16). You need to flash a 3-file stock rom via Odin v3.0.4 with mx.pit-file and repartition ticked. This worked for me and I very much hope that it also works for everyone else.
With all the pit files, i m getting there is no pit file.I m still looking for 3 files firmware.
Can someone post me a link for a 3 files pda phone and csc for S3.All the files i ve found are single file.
Thanks
The only 3 part files and pit for the Samsung range have in the past been posted on Sammobile.com .You will have to look and see if they post such for SGS3 . Never seen them on XDA and 3 part files posted on XDA have in the past been from sammobile .

Go to recovery and then mounts and storage.
Format system, data and cache. Also do a factory wipe on the first cwm page.
After that pull battery wait 5 seconds abs reinsert it.
Hold power home and vol down to go to download mode. Then press the up arrow.
Then plug it in to computer. In odin select pda csc and modem or if it's a one file firmware just select it in pda. Do not tick repart or select a pit file.
Then hit start.

OMG this actually worked...
So here is what i did...step by step...
1. Uninstalled Kies but did keep the USB drivers..
2. Made a Nandroid backup in CWM and followed Drew071's instruction and removed the ext_sd card...i actually did that before but without the pull battery step...
3. Used Odin 3.07 with only auto reboot and f. time reset ticked and loaded the stock rom that i took from sammobile in PDA...
5. Flashed as usual O_O....
I really don't know what it was but it scared the s..t out of me ^^
I'll try to root the stock FW now with the usual odin method and let you know if it works...thx all for your support
EDIT: Ok so i used CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300 with Odin v3.07....all went well and i'm a happy root user again ^^

Before flashing, make sure you have all necessary drivers installed and that you have more than 50% (30% is the absolute minimum) of battery left. Then download a ROM (I.e. from sammobile.com/firmware) and make sure that is is the right ROM for your device. If you download something that is for a different device, you may end up bricking it.
Then boot your phone into Odin mode (I think you know how to do that?) and connect the phone to your PC. Wait for the PC to recognize the device as a serial CDC (That's what Windows 7 and Vista usually show) and then wait for Odin to recognize the device. Then (If you have not already) load all the files into Odin (PDA - ROM and kernel, Modem - Phone, CSC - CSC) and hit "Start".
Then it should download fine. If you are still having trouble, feel free to PM me and I'll gladly help via TeamViewer

Sound to me like Kies was running in the background while you made the Odin flash.....you must disable Kies before using Odin
No Kies was not running in the backgorund..
Could it be, because I was going from 4.1.2 down to 4.0.1 for example? It is a old firmware..
I solved my problem with installing an Omega Rom v43, but I still want to back to original firmware..
what does the log say?
I dont now how to look at the log..
Can I just flash the original firmware even that I am on a Omega firmware?

The new 4.1.2 bootloader (I assume you have it, unless you specifically replaced it with the older one) will blacklist older bootloaders and prevent them from being installed. This might be part of the problem.

Firstly i have spent the best part of 5 days searching for a root method on the sm-t230 tab 4 and got no where until about 5 mins ago and just for reference and others i am going to put this guide here..
*** I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU DAMAGING YOUR DEVICE IN ANY WAY. THIS METHOD OF ROOT IS TESTED BY ME ON THE DEVICE SM-T230 IF IT WORKS FOR OTHER DEVICES THEN PM ME AND I WILL MAKE A LIST OF SUPPORTED DEVICES.. ***
THINGS NEEDED
> TAB 4 WIFI SM-T230 WITH USB DEBUGGING ENABLED AND DRIVERS INSTALLED
> ADB TOOLS FOR INSTALLING SUPERSU
> ODIN 3.07 + TWRP + SUPERSU ALL WHICH CAN BE FOUND IN THIS ZIP FILE >> DOWNLOAD
THE GUIDE
1. Download and extract the above zip to an easy to access location.
2. put the device into download mode by holding power+vol down+home and connect to computer with usb cable.
3. now run odin 3.07 and select AP and then select the twrp_2.7.1.0_SM-T230.tar.md5 file
4 .hit start in odinand as soon as odin is finished the device turns off for reboot DONT let android boot quickly press power+vol up+home to boot into twrp recovery
5. now goto advanced > adb sideload
6. now open a cmd on computer and use adb to sideload the SuperSU.zip file
eg, adb sideload location/of/zip/SuperSu.zip
7. twrp will now install supersu and binarys
8. reboot as normal to android and download rootchecker form gplay and check for root also granting root access when asked..
9. now also download busybox and install..
you now have rooted your tab 4 sm-t230
EDIT: while i am currently testing i have just found that certain system app remover apps seem to see the /system as not mounted although this app does work >> System App Remover (ROOT) -gplay
i am trying to work on fixing this with possible workarounds...

Hey!
I am getting this tab in 3 weeks, is there any "1 click root" method like vroot? If not can someone help me what to type in CMD? (i've installed cwm recovery on other my devices and custom roms too but they were way easier to root with one click methods)
You would need to use v1.0 for now. Safariking is fixing the v1.5 to make it all correct again. Have fun in the meantime folks and a good new year!

Much Easier...
FYI, change step 5 to then reboot system from twrp and choose to root the rom when prompted.
after booting into the OS using TWRP prompts of "play" and "normal" installed binaries and rooted no problems. no sideload or adb necessary.
TWRP handled this all just fine for me.
I also had to use Odin 3.09. 3.07 failed for me 3 times in a row.
(win 8.1/sm-t230un) wifi
I followed the instructions, but after it updated the firmware (first stage), it rebooted and went straight back into the normal OS, no changes.
Now when I try to access the download mode it won't - just keeps rebooting to normal OS.
Anyone any ideas? The Log bit from Odin says the following:

it sounds like your problem lies with step 4 and 5 after the flashing in odin is complete DONT let it reboot to android... when odin finishes and the tablet turns off and back on press and hold press power+vol up+home until it reboots the first samsung logo at which point let go of the power button and continue to vol up+home until you see TWRP logo now when in twrp just select REBOOT and then SYSTEM after android boots proceed to step 6 and 7 and you should now have root..
Awesome thanks for the help!
You should give credit to the original post as it did from ShinySide. This guide has been around for quite sometime now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/root-galaxy-tab-4-7-t230-t2835264
Added: it's still working on the latest firmware.
Can't remember too well: I too let it reboot after odin but no problem going into TWRP (note the difference in combo buttons) and select Reboot and it will has a choice to root. No need to odin again.
Got there eventually, just need to find some decent roms for it now!!
hi, just bought this awesome tab. quick question, where can I download the driver?

[Q] Sumsung s3 stuck on Logo and odin fail to help

Hi, please can you suggest what else I can try to fix this phone.
I have Samsung S3 GT-I9300
It was working fine but suddenly, I turned it on and It is stuck on the Samsung LOGO forever.
It doesn't go to recovery mode when pressing HOME+VOL UP+POWER.
But I could go to Download mode. however Odin fails to install CWM and TWRP
this is download mode:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME:GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD:YES (9counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custum
SYSTEM STATUS:Custom
I tried to install official recovery but it fails too
Code:

although it fails It says : Current binary: samsung Official .
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME:GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD:YES (9counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS:Custom
but the problem remain the same, NO RECOVERY MODE, and still the same LOGO stuck screen.
Please Any suggestions... .??
Try the rescue firmware thread in general forum, using a pit file. Also, downgrading the bootloader might help flash to work.

Thanks for your reply .
Just before I start flashing, I want to confirm things as I am a newbie.
I have downloaded FIRMWARE FACTORY 4.1.2
GT-I9300XXEMG4_KOR_MULTI_FACTORY
from this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6
Do I have to check Re-partition box too beside auto reboot and F. Reset time?
About downgrading, I don't really know which bootloader I have.
Depend on what version firmware you were on before 4.1 or 4.3. Follow the instructions in that thread.
Downgrade bootloader to BLFB, search for it.

I screwed it more trying to install this Bootloader_XXELLA_Odin.tar
now it show this message
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
i45.tinypic.com/27y2tmd.jpg
please any advices, I am still able to go download mode
1. Downgrade bootloader
2. Flash stock firmware
If the bootloader flashed correctly, then try step 2.
The bootloader you used is not ideal, I don't know if that still has the problem but it might work.

Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925F Belgian emmc problem

Back in the days I had a emmc problem with a Note 4. I made a image from a working device and booted it up from a sd card. Since s6 edge doen't have a sd slot I wonder how to restore it.
So I can enter Download Mode but not Recovery mode. It's a SM-G925F Belgian model. G925FXXU5EQD4_G925FPRO5EQE1_G925FXXU5EQCD_HOME.tar is what I used with Odin but no luck. Also I tried with SmartSwitch with model and serial number and so but no luck either. After that I tried to flash twrp-3.1.1-0-zerolte.img.tar but still no Recovery Mode. The device turns on, schows the logo and reboots. Always bootloop. This happened after a week of using the new software update.
FYI: Not rooted

Before you flash a pit file (as they can be very dangerous) try again to remove hidden.img. extract firmware with 7zip or something similar. Remove hidden.img and then repack. Then flash.
Or
Flash a different firmware
