Odin help pleasr day 2! - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Ok well its looks like I a without a phone of course tech support on the phone sends me to the store. Store tech support cant do anything. Since the phone is over 30 day old they will give me a refurbished phone. But that's a problem there are none so they tell me to call Samsung??
So now I a on the phone with sprint but looks like in the end I a pounding sand. Without a mj4.tar to push with odin I have a brick!!!
QUOTE=claude9039u;47170179]I was on JB rom and updated to the last beta test rom and the following happened.
I installed 2.0.0 Beta on phone not storage card. I then made a back up before I flashed the rom then wiped cache, dalvic cache and system three times. I then installed rom, it booted up to my unlock pattern screen.
Now here is the problem every time I put in my unlock pattern the phone goes black comes back on to the unlock pattern screen again? I must have put in my unlock pattern 10 times and 10 times it goes black and starts up in the unlock screen. This does not appear to be a reboot more like a small shut down? I pulled battery same thing, I reinstalled 2.0.0 Beta, same thing.
So I restored my backup and the phone now goes to the boot up Samsung screen and tone, then goes to unlock pattern for a few seconds and back to Samsung boot up screen? Pulled the battery twice and same thing happened will not go pass the boot up Samsung screen and tone.
So I then go to recovery wipe everything Cache, dalvic, data and system. Restore the back up again and the phone does the same thing goes to the boot up Samsung screen and tone, then goes to unlock pattern for a few seconds and back to Samsung boot up screen? Keep just doing this pattern?
I then tried to restore to stock using ODIN and installed N900PVPUBMI5_N900PSPTBMI5_N900PVPUBMI5_HOME.tar.m d5 from JB's file and I get a fail each time?
I then downloaded KERNEL-SPR-N900PVPUBMI3-1378528567.tar and it installed passed but now I am stuck in the Samsung screen?
JB responded for me to do:

Try wiping data, system, cache and dalvic cache. then flash either official jellybomb ver. 1 or stock mj4 rom by freeza.
You cant go backwards from mj4 to older firmware... I dont believe...
So I did:
Since I installed KERNEL-SPR-N900PVPUBMI5-1379320673.tar I have a stock recovery so I ODIN'ed CF-Auto_root and then openrecovery-twrp. This gave me TWRP 2.6.3.7 and from there I wiped data, system cashe and dalvic cache. I then rerooted. TWRP told me I had no OS installed are you sure I said yes. TWRP then says your device does not appear to be rooted?? I then go back into TWRP and flash JB ver 1.0.0. It says install busybpx install kernel done updateing partition details... E: unable to mount '/usbstorage"
Successful so I then reboot system.
I get samsung screen and song that goes black and I get samsung note 3 screen and music. Screen goes black and it keeps on repeating itself?
JB came back and said
Ok. Lots of errors to your process there.. no need to do some of the steps.
So do this... if u have working twrp.
Factory reset in twrp.
Then install mj4 stock rom. And let it boot
I then did as he said
It appears that I have a working twrp so I down loaded SM-N900p_HLTESPR-MJ4-Odes-v2 from freeza. I went to twrp did a factory reset and flashed SM-N900p_HLTESPR-MJ4-Odes-v2
While flashing I did notice that it did not find MD5 file. In the end it says that it was a successful install. It rebooted did its thing, got to andriod upgrading and rebooted. Samsung screen song and got a process system isn't responding and it rebooted again doing the same thing?
And now I am in Samsung boot up screen get process system isn't responding and the phone keeps rebooting doing the same.[/QUOTE]
It looks that without a mj4.tar file to use odin my phone is dead

In twrp wipe everything then format data. You will have to type in "yes" to do this. Then flash freeza mj4. If this doesn't work then wipe and format data restore a nandroid factory reset then flash freeza rom. After flashing rom wipe all and format data again. Then reboot. Let us know if it works.

I also soft bricked my Note 3 over the weekend. Not because of Jellybomb Rom. I flashed an old MI5 file on accident after already being on MJ4. I kept getting stuck at sprint logo. Wipe everything. I mean everything. Then ODIN .tar file posted here on XDA. Phone has been working perfect since then.
It wouldn't work thru TWRP. Once I did it thru ODIN worked perfect. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472664

While I already did what you asked I did it again making sure to fomat data as you request it did not work with both freeza mj4 or freeza rom?? I really believe that I need a mj4.tar file to push thru odin?

I also did this and it did not work either?

In either of the above cases the phone boots up goes to the android update screen reboots then does a cycle of reboots showing Samsung screen and music then reboot?

Last ditch effort here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471421 don't worry about flashing via Odin just follow instructions and run the adv commands in twrp terminal emulator.

Why can't you just use Samsung Kies and restore your phone the old fashioned way?

Samsung Kies HAS to work. If it doesn't than your phone is broken.
You might try to mount your sd card in twrp and copy as many files as you can before the wipe (assuming you have anything left) (after everything else you've tried it's not likely you have any data worth saving)

Its been a nightmare but I called Samsung direct and they got the phone working???? How I have no idea they had me doing things that that I could not write down fast!!! But the bottom line is that I am on Mj4 and the phone is working??

[Q] Need to Revert from ICS to GB, need clear answer please!

Hi Guys
I flashed the leaked ICS but hate it. Can I flash to stock GB via Odin? What about the baseband versions etc.., would it matter?
Sorry, I read another thread but it's unclear and I want to avoid bricking. Thanks
As far as what I've read you can flash stock from Odin or even use CWM to a previous nandroid of gingerbread.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
If you got your Note from AT&T, simply flash this stock ODIN:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
I went from ICS back to Gb cause I missed the tethering and it was easy. Just make sure you clear the caches and all should be well.
Thanks.. I was worried of the different baseband would have any adverse effect, but it doesn't sound like it will. I'll give it a try.
I Odin'd back to stock and I'm in a world of ****. My phone cant do anything, it just gets stuck on every swipe and reboots about every 5 minutes. Does anyone have any ideas?
Mines fine..only baseband is different, phone works.
Before I Odin to stock, I booted into recovery, factory reset and wiped cache. Odin, then booted into recovery and performed another factory reset and wiped cache again.

lindenhurst said:
You get it figured out? I did the same thing. . My old apps still there. I can tell it is gingerbread, but nothing works now. I hope you got your figured out!!
When I boot into recovery I get the screen that tells me to use the up and down keys and when I choose factory wipe, and press power button, nothing happebs. If I hold it down eventually the phone shuts off. When i restart it, nothing changed.

I had to revert from ICS to GB yesterday and, even tho I am on Telus, I had success by flashing the pda-odin-att-stock.rar image
I can't post links .. I'm too new. But literally.. google what's bolded above and you will find the hotfile link.
It replaced everything (including the recovery) ... FULL system image. Solved everything and brought me back to 100% stock.
So yes, I lost my root and my CWM recovery software.. but it got my phone working again.. I can reflash CWM and re-root as I need.
After the install, wipe cache, factory reset etc.
I too flashed the stock ATT rom but like the previous poster, it gave me a phone which started up but wouldn't work. When I tried to get into recovery mode, it went to a screen with the recovery mode stuff at the top, but with a yellow warning sign in the middle and some words about manual mode, and it would not let me do a wipe or reset.
Here is what I just did that did work.
I flashed the recovery-i717-cwm-b4.tar file with odin. This worked and allowed me to get into the "proper" recovery mode to do a wipe and factory reset, as well as a cache wipe. I then reflashed tieh the stock ATT rom, and my phone now is back to stock.

[ROM][ODIN][TAR] SM-N900P MI3 Stock Restore Tar

Credits: Our thanks to Samsung-Updates.com for posting MI3/MI5.
Until I have time to clean this up I figured I would post this now and we'll update it later.
It's more important to make sure people have this while testing new things.
Samsung-Updates.com has posted MI3 here:

As usual we're putting it up on Rwilco's repository. I am not doing anything with them though for a few reasons.
1) At the moment neither I or rwilco12 have a device to test with.
2) Given the issues with Knox I am leary in doing anything without addressing #1.
Link to Stock ROMs:
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900P)/Stock ROMs/
Download, flash in Odin/Heimdall. This current version will wipe your data.
TESTED AND WORKING - Great Work bud!
Any other DL links? Its not downloading anything.. On either link. Thanks
EDIT: Might be on my end I think it is working now. I already did something and messed it up. Very easy fix but I cant believe the n00b mistake I did lol. Oh well
Edit 2: Last one lol but link did work and was able to restore. Thanks!

Mine was stuck on the yellow sprint screen. I went in the stock recovery and wiped data, and after that it loaded up perfect. So if you are stuck on the sprint screen, try that and it might help you.

[Q] Boot loop: Process system isn't responding

Hello,
I didn't do the system update before rooting the device and perhaps I should have, with the epic, touch, and note2 it was a bad idea to do system updates so I just skipped it. I rooted the phone and flashed TWRP on it without issue using the tools from galaxynote3root.com's. I then made a backup of the rom using TWRP. I then went to flash Galaxy-S-fre3-MD4FirmwareModemAIO.zip through TWRP which I think is what killed it but i'm not 100% certain, I just know it errored out / wouldn't let me flash the zip. I tried restoring from the TWRP with the backup I made, no luck.
I'm now stuck unable to get anything to boot stable, it always shows "Process system isn't responding" and dies shortly thereafter. I can occasionally get to the point where it sees icons but usually it just reboots. I think I might have nuked the modem but I can't seem to find a radio/modem thread for the sprint model and I don't know if the modems from the GSM thread are safe for the Sprint.
I have tried flashing N900PVPUBMI3_N900PSPTBMI3_N900PVPUBMI3_HOME.tar.md5 on it through Odin with the auto reboot on and off without luck.
hmm

Ah forgot to mention that I tried that, no joy. It goes through the caching of apps, sits forever at 'finalizing boot' and then goes into the reboot cycle.
Restore doesn't work and once u do that it borks your file system. Your phone is bricked and using Odin to go back to stock will not work. You can try but u need to get ur phone replaced and hopefully sprint doesn't look at your knox counter if not u got ur self a $700 paperweight

Soft bricked phone even after factory image flash

Hi all, I am in urgent need of some help...
I got my GS4 when it first came out back in May. It was the VRUAMDK build. I used ODIN and motochopper to get it rooted, eventually got CM going and have been using it ever since.
Today I was playing around flashing different nightlies of CM11. I went to restore from a backup, but it error'd out and said it couldn't restore /data. I rebooted anyway and it hung on the CM logo for about 10 minutes. I tried a wipe/restore again and the same thing happened. I should note that since updating to CWM 6.x.x.x from (I think?) 2.x.x.x I hadn't attempted a restore from backup, but I know that restore worked on CWM 2.
So anyway I went to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
Followed the instructions, similar to when I first rooted my phone, and flashed the 99% factory image with Odin. It "worked" ie no errors but upon reboot my phone hangs on the Verizon logo. It gets through the Samsung boot logo but will just sit at the Verizon logo. Not frozen because the logo is shimmering.
At this point I have no idea what to do. Help?

How did you re-root/recovery after the odin to MDK?
I have the MDK bootloader, but I've never had to odin back to stock.

The same way as when I first got my phone. I Odin'd the pre-release MD2 kernel, used motochopper to grant root access and install SuperSU, Odin'd back to MDK, then downloaded GooManager to install TWRP.
*Odin back MDK kernel... Not full factory image. Just clarifying

Installed the new upgrade of 6.0.1 and .... Bootloop

Hello. I upgraded my galaxy s5 to the android 6.0.1 and now it is stuck in the T-Mobile logo. I can feel a small vibration after about 40 seconds as if it were to finish the process of initiation. Yet, it never does. I have wiped the data, dalvik cache, and everything. I have reinstalled the upgrade via odin, also via kies, also via the same phone. But nothing works. In odin i first tried without the option of update phone bootloader, then i tried with it , and nothing works. I went back to 5.1 , and tried going back to 6.0 and nothing. It keeps in the tmobile screen. How long do i have to wait for it to finish the process? I spent 30 minutes waiting, and 30 minutes is NOT USUAL AT ALL!. the most i have had to wait for a device to finally initiate for the first time is about 15 minutes. Any help?

Yeah i have read someone who cleaned the cache partition about 3 times , booting after each time he cleaned the cache, and it worked for him. Although it wasnt an s5. But right now i just installed the 5.1 via odin again, and now im installing the 6.0 again. Then i will try the cleaning the cache several time and see how it goes. Even though i need my device to wake up at 6 tomorrow lol . Lets hope i can fix this.
6.0.1 right? You don't need to go back to 5. Just reinstall 6

I have a question. After the green screen appears and finishes the process, does your device reboot after it says starting apps? Mine did it all the time. It just did it now, but im going to try to wipe cache now. But first, let me wait a couple of minutes (5 minutes) to see if by some miracle it works.
I don't think it should reboot. Cache wipe should do it

Wiping cache several times didnt work.
I was in a class. Did you reflash marshmallow again with odin 3.11.1 ?

Samsung Kies3 can help you restore your original Samsung ROM (remove custom OS ROM), and it did fix bootloop for my Galaxy s5 recently.
Open Kies 3 and click Tools > "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization"
In order to proceed, you will need enter your device model name and S/N number.

yes. I did it with the 3 latest versions and nothing worked lol. I went back to 5.1 and then flashed a custom rom based on AOSP, Resurrection Remix. Seems like i wont be able to flash 6.0 of stock firmware ever. I have tried every method

I tried kies after i tried odin and it didnt fixed my issue. I tried it 2 times. Then i tried to use the Software updater of the own device in 5.1 firmware, it didnt work either. I think i give up . i spent the whole day trying every single method that came to my head or that i could found. But none of them worked. I dont feel like spending 30 minutes flashing the whole thing again going back and forth, wiping, etc...
Hard reset is gonna be your best bet if you haven't done it already

Only hard reset might not be sufficient,
I tried once, and the hard reset plus 10 times of wiping dalvik and normal cache was able to fix bootloop.
But stuck in bootloop, my phone was not able to enter stock/TWRP recovery to perform the necessary master reset and cache clean.
Therefore when bootloop problem came back again later, my only solution was to try Kies 3, and Kies 3 was able to control my phone and fix bootloop while my phone was stuck in bootloop.

I tried all that several times and nothing. Do you know all the stuff that one can dk from 9 am to 11 pm? I even downloaded 5 6.0 firmwares from different sources each, including sammobile.com. and tried kies, odin (3 versions) , OTA, wiping only cache, wiping dalvik cache, wiping data and factory reset, wiping everything, wiping nothing,
Just to let people know. If you are in the same situation than me i have solved the issue. There were some files in my Micro Sd card that were affecting the installation process. Now i removed the sd card and the process finished successfully. Thank you for suggestions anyway.
Yea it should have been formatted along with the factory reset from the get go.
