Odin FAIL: Xmit Write fail and XmitData Fail - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone. I have a big problem on my hands. I tried to install Jelly Bean 4.1.2 stock firmware (on Samsung S II) from SamFirmware via Odin. During the install process a "FAIL!" message appeared.

I followed the installation instructions carefully:
Boot phone into download mode.
Load Odin.
Connect phone to computer via USB.
Click PDA and browse for file (mine is I9100XWLSS_I9100OJCLS4_I9100XXMS2_HOME.tar.md5).
Make sure default settings unchanged and Re-Partition is disabled.
Then I clicked "Start"
I have used Odin before and have successfully rooted and installed firmware on my phone in the past.
I just dont understand why this is happening.
At the moment I havent touched anything (my phone is still connected to my computer and Odin has been left as it is and not closed). As I am quite scared to brick it. The download bar hasnt moved.
Please help. My friend asked me to install this firmware on his phone so I am in seriously need urgently. Thanks

Thanks. I read the guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345831) but what I saw there was about flashing failing when the connection to Odin isnt working.
With me my connection works (Ive updated firmware before via Odin) but the thing is it failed in middle of process
Are there any options I can choose in Odin to reboot safely? It is still in Fail state and phone still connected to computer (I havent touched anything)

It can fail in the middle of a flash for all kinds of reasons (bad download, temporary break in the connection between phone/PC but not long enough to register on the PC side).
You don't really have any other choice than pull the plug & hope you can switch the phone off & get into download mode again/hope that you haven't hard bricked it.
One way or another you need to get a successful Odin flash away in order to fix it. Despite your protestations to the contrary, the stuff in that thread does apply to the situation you find yourself in. If you can still get into download mode once you've unplugged it/pulled the battery, I very much recommend you try everything in that thread (including trying different PC's if necessary; how many previously successful flashes you've had is irrelevant if you can't fix this phone). Unless you'd rather take it to a Samsung service centre & pay them an exorbitant amount of money to fix it ?

I can get into download mode, Odin will just NOT complete the install of the galaxy S3 firmware it stays stuck at "system ext4" for hours...any thoughts - see attachment...ty

And you're posting in an I9100 thread why exactly ?

it was my usb cable
try a genuine Samsung usb cable (the white one). I tried the one that came with my galaxy tab 3 swapped out my cheapo usb cable and got past this error and got the orginal firmware back on my sgh-t999 S3

Pretty sure nobody here cares given you have a different device (this is obvious advice anyway - of course you try different USB cables, in particular genuine Samsung ones).

why didnt you help out protein.synthesis with this info then? the error is the same fix across all the S3 variants.

Bigger idiot
I did help that individual, but that person lied about going through Hopper's thread in a methodical way, which will always recover a phone that's actually recoverable in this situation. And why did that person lie ? Because 95% of people who post here a ****ing lazy & want 'easy'. There is no ****ing easy in this situation.
Hopper's thread mentions the USB cable thing & 238 other troubleshooting steps dip****, which is why we refer anyone who has this issue with an I9100 to it. We're sick & tired of posting this **** over & over for people who are too ****ing lazy to search.
You should be posting in forums for your specific device, not wherever the **** you feel like it.
And you need to get your ****ing facts straight/get some reading/comprehension skills before you gob off in future you ****ing moron.
Also, FYI, the fixes are pretty much the same across all Galaxy series phones, but that is absolutely beside the point.

Basically same for me.
I've been trying to root my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 XWLSW and every time I try to install a custom Kernel ODIN says:

You need:-
1) To say please. We're not your servants :-/
2) To read my first post on the first page (after the OP). It refers to the 'tools' you need to fix this.

*Update*
Reviving this thread since it is still prevalent on google. Do you have Kies installed at the time of Attempting to flash with Odin? This is a common problem when trying to flash with Odin. Hope this helps for all those tearing their hair out over this!

once i got rid of my custom recovery things seemed to get better. I flashed cf auto root with odin 3.07 then flashed stock FW and i was back in business. Hopefully this will work for others.

I had Kies installed and got this error:

when trying to flash my Note 5 with ODIN. I was using a Samsung USB cable but it was from an S5. I switched to the Note 5 USB cable and uninstalled Kies and I was able to overcome the error.
Thanks!

hay que cambiar el cable y listo

ROM version-JRO03H.***** XXALJL

This is a full Uk firmware rooted.
Download the rom an odin from the provided link and unzip it .

What are the advantages of flashing a rom designed for your country code/service provider?
Well for one you’re rom VERSION and CSC CODE will match therefore when there are official updates from Kies you should be able to just update.
Flashing a rom that was not made for your specific country code will work ,but you may find that your battery will drain faster, wireless performance is degraded etc ,this is because every rom made for a country id/provider also has a matching modem/baseband included, mess with that and you may find that your device will not perform as intended.
Some people may say: “I will flash any rom then just flash my country id/provider modem and that’s the problem fixed”
NO. Specific radios work specific matched (SYS)roms ( rill files) etc.
The rule is, your Baseband version should match the Build number, like so:
Baseband version-*****XXALJL
Build number- ******.*****XXALJL
Thanks to Avicohh, for all his advice and KEN for providing the devices!
Disclaimer:
If you don’t know what I’m talking about above I suggest you leave your device alone and do some research before attempting to flash it.

Thanks for your work.
I was wondering what are the optimizations this ROM brings to the official one except rooting?
Well im not from UK, im from Macedonia but my baseband and build number are xxajlj, so i can flash without problems?

Does ODIN recognize your phone? It should show something like 0:[COMxx] at the top left box (green colored).
If not you need to install drivers (KIES from samsung)

Yes, ODIN recognizes the phone (COM8) in second row first box from the left.
Kies/Drivers are installed.
Try another USB port with another cable if u have one, and exit kies because Odin & kies don't get along if running together. Try that see if that helps.

Worked perfectly with Romanian SGS3 Mini with the same baseband as in picture and the same info :good: Thank you :laugh:
Thanks for the ROM, it is the same as mine in Czech Republic
PDA - I8190XXALJL
PHONE- I8190XXALJL
CSC- I8190OXXALJ8
Well I hope it is the one, because you named the file that way (you have no CSC in the original post).
I also downloaded the original (unrooted rom) from the sammobile site.
The strange thig is that after flashigng with Odin both of these ROMs report
CSC: Unknown
Everything works, so I am not complaining but I am just curios as to why.
Thanks again for the rooted rom!
Thank you! I'm gonna try this right after I get the courage to flash my 3 day old phone
I'm using your V2 rom, had no problems so far only that software update won't allow it says that phone has been modified, will this ROM cure this problem?
Sorry for the noob question

[Q] Samsung S3 i9300 Stuck In Bootloop

Hi guys
First some details about the S3:
Model: GT-i9300 (International)
ROM: Custom (Omega v34)
Kernel: SiyaKernel v1.6
FW ver: 4.1.2
The boot loop happened freakishly :silly:. I'm saying it because, yesterday the S3 was working fine. I went to sleep and upon waking up found the S3 in a boot loop with the "Samsung i9300" and the black screen background.
I've been using the custom rom since 1 month without any issue. All I did yesterday (out of the ordinary), was to install a few updates of a few apps like AllShare/Facebook etc.
I'm able to boot into Recovery as well as Download mode. The Download mode shows:
Product Name: GT-I9300
Custom Binary Download: Yes (2 Counts) - I'm guessing this is the binary counter
Current Binary: Custom
System Binary: Custom
Had created a Nandroid backup, so tried restoring from it. Tried advanced restoring with boot first, but the phone restarted midway and then had the boot loop again. After that I tried a normal restore, same thing happened.
I've gone through a few similar posts here, but couldn't find an exact match for mine. Hence, I created this thread. For one, the details in the Download mode are different from others (in some the product or the other was missing, but all are showing in mine). So, I'm guessing my boot partition is still intact (I'm a noob, so, I might be wrong).
What are my options here:
Can I flash a newer ver of custom rom on it?
Will wiping data/factory reset help?
How about Cache Partition/Devlik cache?
Or should I flash a stock rom?
Also, if any other option available and in what order?
Any help will be really appreciated with a big THNX :good::angel:
Just go to download mode, flash a stock rom.. root it again and flash a custom rom (if you like)
Factory resetting wont help, nor wiping caches and dalvik cache

I tried installing Stock Rom from the Download mode using ODIN.
Followed this thread http://tutorialfor-android.blogspot.in/2012/08/how-to-flash-firmware-to-galaxy-s3-via.html
Did everything, but ODIN returns as FAIL. What am I doing wrong? Am using ODIN v3.07..
Downloaded the stock rom from SamMobile..

Try this ,
1. go to http://checkrom.com download the latest resurrection rom , make sure you have usb drivers installed
2.go into download mode in your phone and flash this rom through odin 3.04 ( administrator mode)
3.once everything is done it should boot into cwm recovery after that wipe data/factory rest and wipe cache partition and then reboot system
4. if everything goes well it should boot into the resurrection rom
Good Luck!
why would resurrection work if the stock rom didn't?

when i had a bootloop .. the stock rom didnt work but when i flashed the resurrection rom it did .. so maybe it may work for him too .
Just wanted to ask. Are there any other options that I might have before taking the mobile to the customer care?
I have read somewhere that a PIT file could resolve issues. Can that work in this scenario? If so, which file to use and what are the perils of using such a file?
Also, buddy "galaxy3lover", when you talk about resurrection rom, can you guide me to the exact FW that you are talking about? The link that you have provided contains a lot of links. Which one should I download from?
http://checkrom.com/download/ scroll down gt - 19300 if you are using the international model ... and then checkrom v6.zip
galaxys3lover: Tried ur resurrection rom, but its a no go.
Other than that also tried the PIT file/re-partitioning method but that too failed.
Searched a lot but couldn't find any other methods for my soft brick. So, is it really game over, even though mine is not a hard brick? Isn't there any other way to fix the issue?
Well if the nand and bootloaders are fine, Odin should be able to just flash it.
Try Kies firmware initialization

Yeah, no harm in trying that as well. Its interesting to note that where ODIN failed can KIES come to the rescue?
Stay tuned for the answer
No even KIES turned out to be a dead end. It begun and stopped with an error. Tried emergency recovery but failed again.
Guess the only option left for me now is take it to the Service Center...

Samsung Galaxy S3 Stuck on BootScreen

I posted my problem on androidcentral earlier today, I'm not progressing anywhere with my situation, I've copied my original posts with some edits here. If you need more information for helping me to resolve this dilemma, ask right away.
I'm in deep****. It started when i tried changing the fonts on my galaxy s3, simple install and reboot. Now when it rebooted it got stuck on the Metro PCS logo screen, I turned it off and turned it on again, and same problem. Then I tried flashing my g3 with odin it said pass, but now my model number has disappeared from the samsung boot screen and it still has the same problem prior; before it said Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999N, but now it just shows Samsung Galaxy S3. Prior to all this my phone was already rooted. I'm a noob and I need help. All the details I remember about my phone is that the carrier is Metro PCS, the model is SGH-T999N (a t-mobile variant) and the OS was Jellybean 4.1.2.
Thankyou for reading, please reply soon its urgent.
*Extra notes, I tried booting it up into recovery mode it shows splash screen for a brief moment and then completely turns off. It is still able to go in to download mode, also when the phone is completely off and charged in, the battery charging animation is still normal/unchanged before all this happened.
*Additional notes, when in download mode the information at the top left corner reads as:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-T999N
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (3 counts)
CUSTOM BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

Isn't that only on verizon's variants? I don't remember anything having to do with the bootloader, but I did successfully root my phone, so maybe I did, I'm not completely sure.
*Edit, Could you also give me a detailed guide as to how I could reset it with Kies? I'm not sure if it will work or not, because in my first postt, if it wasn't clear, I think I used the wrong .tar which made the model number under the samsung boot screen, disappear.

I'm still stuck on the KIES method, I removed my sd card and found that my titaniumbackup update.zip, also I found the folder where my KIES backup files are that I made on kies a few days ago. Please continue helping me.
*Edit, okay I found my IMEI through the google dashboard, it was also the same number on the sticker under the battery. FML. Okay so when doing the Kies method it asks me for the model name, I enter SGH-T999N, now it prompts to ask me for the s/n, I copy and paste in the IMEI, but it says that it is incorrect. PLEASE HELP

you should first try the KIES method. following the guide, since you have mentioned it earlier, if that fails
Than you need to locate the original Stock ROM for SGH T999N to flash using Odin3 version 3.04 and up ( sometimes if you use wrong version or a poor USB connection ( wrong USB cable) , you could end-up with problem you had posted), as others meant for variants may not be compatible with yours that why its important you seek help in the S3 forum, for someone may have the same unit you have and may know where you can download it. You can Post in that forum, for help or search that forum for relevant info regarding your particular variant.

Thankyou again, I'll post there and see if anyone else has had the same problem.

(SOLVED) PIT/Bricked/Dead problem on GT-I9300 international

Hi XDA.
There are several thread about PIT/Partition/ brick/ mounting problem etc.
i spent over 2 days to fix my international GT-I9300 16GB white.
i think there is not much left about PIT on not only XDA but on other websites. Which I didn't read.
some of them are scary like. don't check partition box in odin or motherboard will be dead or that's it your phone is junk/ send it to service center. blah blah blah........
but all you need to do is downgrade you boot loader..........yes.***********THAT'S IT*********
tried millions of method (yes almost million) but nothing work. and i don't want to anyone else spend that much time on it
(back on topic)
here is how i did it.
download all files at last of this post
1. Put your phone on download mod (volume down+home button+power and than volume up)
2.open odin and select option *auto reboot*re-partition*f.reset time *Nand erase all(don.t worry just do it*unless you have other option*)
3.select **GT-I9300.PIT** as pit file(DO NOT SELECT ANY OTHER ONE)
4. click start(after finishing task phone will reboot )
5.now download CF-Root for SGS3 v6.4 from here-------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
6. again put phone in download mode and root your phone with CF-Root (file you downloaded)
7.now put ***Restore_Bootloader_XXBLFB** ZIP file on your sd card and flash it using phone recovery (cwm)
8.now download any 3 part official firmware for your phone and flash with odin ..
that's it
method above worked for me on my SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 GT-I9300 WHITE 16 GB but i still take no responsibility
for any damage to your phone or to your Dog/cat during process.
Thank you
Hope it'll work for you
sorry for my bad english.
In your post you link to the Old rooting method from Chainfire he hasn't supported that thread for around a year now, he moved to a new version of rooting, link is in my signature that is the better rooting method to use unless with your process it requires that you use the old rooting method.
Yes my process required this old root TAR file as it comes with cwm recovery. The new one does not. And as I mentioned up you need recovery to flash bootloader. So in this way you saving time to flash recovery after rooting.
Anyway after recovering your phone you can use new root file from chainfire to re root 3 part firmware which you flashed in recovering process.
Enjoy android

Partition Info flashing[PIT] works but bootloader is a problem! ANy other option to may the system works as earlier???
This zipped can not be flashed from Stock Recovery. It says its signature can not be verified! I do not know what to do now. Can not get my bluetooth bhai!
You need CWM recovery to flash this file. Read carefully bhaisaab
and iam not sure what you mean bluetooth not working. Explain more.

Sorry for not seeing CWM. I am using stock recovery! Bluetooth icon has gone into gray color, I can not make it green[try to turn ON, it will go to OFF position]. Above all, my csc folder is missing. May be it's the culprit!
found csc folder by making my IMEI into that 049... by flashing ITV rom explains in other thread. I didn't worry much I know I will get back IMEI as I didn't break my efs. flash back thereafter 4.3 swc then to indian xxemh4 4.1.2. my network, wifi, gprs work fine, I got my CSC folder back.
but I still have my Bluetooth non functional and mobile is as laggy as that of 4.3.
another problem is both UART & USB change automatically to modem everytime phone booted!
Hi! I'd like to try your method, but this is what happens in the first step:
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Erase...
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I can not flash anything. My phone, as I've read is not bricked, just semibricked.
Thanks in advance!

thx a lot, i solved the problem on my s3

[ROM][SM-T510][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 16.0 for Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019)

}
In the spirit of moving custom ROM development along for the 2019 Galaxy Tab A 10.1 [SM-T510], here's a build of LineageOS 16.0 I just created based on the latest OEM firmware and @AndyYan's latest LineageOS 16.0 GSI. It's very much a work in progress, but it should hopefully help blaze the trail for even better work.
Notes:
The current process requires you to reset to factory defaults to remove file-based encryption. Remember to backup your data!
Custom kernels are specific to OEM releases, and this one is based on the February 2020 Update (T510XXS3ATB4).
Stock recovery will be replaced with my latest TWRP build for the SM-T510..
This is built with root support (enabled in Developer Options). To remove (and enable vendor spoofing), just run "/system/bin/phh-securize.sh" with root access.
This is unofficial and unsupported, so the usual caveats apply. Since we don't flash the bootloader, you should be able recover from any problems...but nothing is guaranteed.
Not working:
Support for file-based encryption
Downloads:
lineage-16.0-20200422-UNOFFICIAL-T510XXS3ATB4.tar.md5 (Odin tarball)
lineage-16.0-20200422-UNOFFICIAL-T510XXS3ATB4.zip (TWRP update)
Change Log:
20200422:
New private build of LineageOS GSI with April 2020 Security Patch.
Updated to the OEM T510XXS3ATB4 kernel and vendor partition.
20200405:
Fixed Double Tap to Wake feature (enabled in Phh Treble Settings).
Fixed crash on first two attempts to launch Phh Treble Settings.
New private build of LineageOS GSI with the above fixes (#663 & #1228).
20200324:
New LineageOS GSI build of treble_a64_bvN target with March 2020 Security Update.
Switched to ext2simg for sparse image conversion to improve Odin compatibility and reduce download size.
Updated to T510XXS2ASK5 kernel (November 2019 Update)
20200308:
MTP file transfers should now work even with USB Debugging disabled.
Charging after full shutdown will no longer hang during level-of-charge animation.
Updated to T510XXS2ASK1 kernel (November 2019 Update)
20191019:
Initial release based on lineage-16.0-20191017-UNOFFICIAL-treble_a64_bvN
Instructions:
From OEM stock firmware:
Unlock bootloader
Hold Vol Up & Vol Down buttons during restart to enter Download mode
Install custom ROM tarball (.tar.md5 file) to AP with Odin
If TWRP launches, factory reset with Wipe->Format Data and reboot to system. (Not necessary for incremental upgrades.)
From existing TWRP install:
Hold Power & Vol Up during restart to enter TWRP recovery
Factory reset with Wipe->Format Data. (Not necessary for incremental upgrades.)
Tap Install, select your update (.zip file), and then swipe to install
Reboot to system

One thing to note: LineageOS includes LiveDisplay and Night Light which affect the tone of the display (I like colder displays), but on this device both features lag the UI horribly, probably due to lack of HW acceleration. In this case, try the build.prop trick here to make things perceptibly smooth.
Gapps?
Thanks for this great ROM. I have managed to get it installed on my Black Friday purchased device. However, it would appear no to come with any Google stuff (which I would expect). Normally I would install from OpenGapps but it don't think any of those of suitable. Can anyone advise me what would be suitable. I was looking for the equivalent of the Full package on OpenGapps.

Works like charm! thank you so much for the great work, are you going to release TWRP zip update files for coming version? also any idea why the tablet can't be encrypted? on other note, gsmarena mention that the CPU is Exynos 7904, which is not correct, mine is Exynos 7885! which isn't 64bit as far as I can tell, any idea of there was some versions with Exynos 7904 released?

Had some issues with TWRP, turned out to be a bad cable, was crashing with Odin and heimdall on Linux, but at 85% changed the cable and everything worked fine also not USB-C to USB-C cable in my case it had to be USB-A to USB-C cable.

Hi
I've flashed this Rom yesterday and it does seem to work relatively well.
There are some issues, though. Mostly stability. Also the Tablet thinks that it is a phone. How do I tell it that it's a Tablet?
So.. where do we go from here? What are the next steps? How is this Rom built? What is the process to build it?
Regards

Had some issues with TWRP, turned out to be a bad cable, was crashing with Odin and heimdall on Linux, but at 85% changed the cable and everything worked fine also not USB-C to USB-C cable in my case it had to be USB-A to USB-C cable.

Just tried with a brand new C -> A cable plugged into a USB 2.0 port and same error. I was originally using the cable that came with the tablet. Not sure what to try next.

I ran into this (the Odin error on product.img) on the 2 T510's I picked up for my kiddos. Both were initially running the November update, and both upon first boot and setup patched to the December update (this was before I realized there was a Lineage build available).
I was able to successfully flash this build by first downgrading to the September Samsung release (T510XXU2ASI4). I just pushed that through Odin, and immediately entered download mode again post-install, and then install Lineage without an issue. This worked on both of the tablets I have.
I ended up paying for a 3 day pass on samfrew.com because the download speeds are horribly crippled. I would be happy to upload/host the OEM firmware files somewhere to help others if it's not against the rules.

OK, that's odd. I bought this one at Costco about a month ago and it shipped with and factory resets to September AS14 :/
I'd already downloaded that rom from samfrew and even tried to flash it after both this and the Nexus ROMS failed. Same results as those two and failed with the same error at product.img
I wonder if I'll need to roll back to an even earlier one, or would loading a ROM earlier than what's in the recovery be a bad thing?
FWIW, in order to unlock the bootloader I went through the "disable auto-updates, auto time adjust, set the time to the past/future manually" trick.

Odd. I didn't have any issues with applying the ASI4 updates (just the BG, AP, and CSC files) with Odin 3.14.1. I don't think OEM unlocking comes into play for this part.
What "KG STATE" in download mode showing? Prenormal means the knox protection got tripped which is probably (part of?) your issue. I can't say more because I honestly don't know (first Samsung device since the Galaxy Nexus). If you're at ASI4, and download mode shows KG STATE: checking, then you're in the same place I was for a successful flash of Lineage.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Whelp, thar's mah problem. KG state is Prenormal. No idea how I tripped it but this is my first sammy since the S2. I'll start googling and would welcome any advice on what to do to get to a better state.
Thanks! At least now I know what's borked :/
EDIT [SOLVED]: The clue was in Menendez's reply in post #6 of MossyT's guide where he indicates that wifi should be enabled on the restart immediately after the Volume Up long press to unlock, thus revealing OEM Unlock in developer options. The very first go around, I was able to see the option and must have borked a stdep before or during Odin. All subsequent attempts after doing factory resets, I failed to activate wifi on first boot and went straight to Odin. Until the OEM rom can phone home, KG will remain 'prenormal'. Simply turning wifi on and verifying OEM Unlock in devops, KG changed to 'checking' and the flash went through fine.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. My daily drivers are a Moto G5+ and X so I'm a bit rusty at the "samsung way"
Any Chance to get double tap to wake (dt2w) running?
There seems to be a solution:

For now you can flash magisk and run those commands via adb as root on each reboot.
I suppose at some point we either fix the init.rc or phh extends the phh treble app to also run the connection check command.
Is this ROM still being updated or worked on? Just curious been 2 months and nothing from the OP. Thanks.
I am on T510xxu1ASEF. Am I correct to assume I need to upgrade the Firmware to the september release and then install the rom? Or is it as simple as flashing the new rom? I have unlocked the bootloader and have stopped until I find out what to do.
Edited because I'm an idiot and kept saying kernel when obviously the file I downloaded from Samsung was full rom not just kernel.

I'll update it with the latest kernel source when I get back from holiday, but I wouldn't expect much because there haven't been any GSI updates from @AndyYan.
