Have not seen any post on this issue. CF has been updated to include a 5.1.1 file for 915P but I have not seen anyone discussing if it has worked for them.
I tried it once and it failed, before I would try again would like to see if anyone got it to work!
Thanks
For whatever reason the cache.img.ext4 file in the auto root will not flash.

The video worked, although but two things: 1) Step 7 in the text instructions with the video give the wrong name of the file you are flashing. 2) Like many others, I could not boot into TWRP because of the samsung overwrite issue. After flashing have to take out battery, then unplug from computer then boot into recovery to get TWRP

How did you get passed to reboot on Sprint screen.. I downloaded files which are there in thread but i'm not able root it... I got recovery tho.. I'm dying to use rooted phone again...
After I tried -and failed - to get Autoroot to work I had the Sprint Screen problem. Had to flash stock rom from the download screen before got things back to where the video worked

Hello all,
I successfully flashed the official ICS update and tried to root via Odin. Now my Note wont boot up past the "Samsung" boot screen. Apparently, I flashed a kernel meant for a Gingerbread build. Is there an ICS root kernel yet? If not, how do I reset what Ive done? Thanks :crying:

you might have to re-flash...
what most and I have found works....is odin the touch cwm....then flash the super user for root...
I did this and it worked great.
Bottomline you may have re-flash the Offic ICS then perform the above, btw the links you will need are locted in "My Links" in my signature (red) go to the GNote page and look for the touch CWM then put the super user flash zip file and flash that...you will have root on your Offic ICS...kk
Can I get your link for the super user and CWM touch a buddy of mine want his root back on his note and can u brake it down in instructions on how to do this method? I really appreciate that if you can.I haven't been on Samsung device in a while so I wouldn't know what I am doing again on that part for the note.

From CWM OP:
Download the odin "file">>>>2012-04-14 (odin) off the above link and the "odin program" see attached on this post.
Take the attached odin program on this post of mine...put in a folder...upzip and put this (odin file that is on the link above in the same folder)
How to install:
Odin (this will increase the flash counter)
- put your phone into download mode >>>>>>hold the volume down and power button....then once you get the download info volume up like it says...you will see the green android...you are in download mode, plug in your phone open odin program
- in odin program choose pda, and select the .tar.md5 file (that you put in the odin folder) and flash/ hit start button....

Then once you have CWM, download this file super user from above and put on your phones internal sd and flash it, to get into CWM, but first put file on the phone inter sd....power off phone...completely.
Hold the volume buttons and power buttons all at the same time....when you see the samsung logo let go of the power button only...keeping both volumes button down...then you will see blue cmw...just go to the intern sd find your super user file flash it...since this touch cwm you can touch the sceen and use the soft keys on the phone, ...the back button...after flash, just reboot..and you have root.

Root question Follow-up
bigjoe2675,
Thanks for all your help. After I failed to flash back to Gengerbread, I brought it back to AT&T and had it exchanged for a new phone.I have since upgraded to ICS and everything is running fine.
I would like to root it "correctly" this time and am trying to figure out where I should pick up from your instructions. Should I simple flash the .tar.md5 file and and use superflash? I guess Im confused as to what superflash does.
Thanks

Hi guys, i have the same issue. I tried to root my bell galaxy i717 with the pda file. Everything went well until i got stuck in samsung logo. I tried some other files , like touch cwm tar but nothing change. Is there anyone who can give me a big help.
Anything!
I'm trying to fix a friend's note(sgh-i717r) and it won't boot into recovery. When pressing the button combo, it just keeps vibrating and when I let go its stuck on the samsung logo. All I can do with it is go into download mode and connect with odin. How can I get to at least boot so he can actually use the phone?
Good evening,
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I rooted and unlocked my phone and then tried installing a wrong CM10. Then I installed the stock ROM again so that it would at least work. That succeeded.
However, a popup came offering a OTA update and I hit yes without thinking. It rebooted and stayed at boot loop.
Now when I try using ODIN to reflash the stock ROM it does so, reboots, and stays at the boot screen where the LTE and moving stuff shows up after the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 in white text screen. Please, I need this fixed urgently as that's my work phone.
I've tried flashing the rooted stock rom and that doesn't work either. When I try to re-root/unlock it says "Firmware problem please connect to Klies" or something along those lines. I can't boot into recovery mode either. The android shows up and a bar and then it reboots when it's close to finishing the boot into recovery.

I'm confused, where is your phone now. Boot loop, the firmware upgrade problem or other?

Really basic question here, how long have you let it sit on the boot animation screen? Sometimes it takes a very long time for first boot, especially if davlik was wiped.

Boot loop if I try to go to stock ROM. Firmware warning if I try to use boot unlocker/root ROM.
I can't get into recovery under either. When I try to get into recovery under the boot unlock/root ROM I get the firmware problem.

Your phone had to boot up to unlock so again are you boot looping now? I'm thinking you need to use the alternate restore file. It sounds like your boot loader is still locked. If that's the case that's the only image that will actually flash in Odin.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
here is your problem:
1) NEVER ACCEPT OTA'S
2) You didnt research before flashing
3) Since you accepted the ota, the bootloader from the original vraljb odin file is black listed. meaning you cant ever use that file again.
4) To fix your problem follow section 1b of my guide, make sure to use the alternate restore link as it does not contain a bootloader in the file. it will revert you back to vraljb firmwqre while maintaining the L4 bootloader.

I received this verizon Galaxy Tab 10.1 as a gift and a project, but haven't been able to make any progress.
The tablet was bought from a taxi company that used it was in car entertainment. When booted, an app immediately starts up and removes the navigation bar. If you are fast enough, you can get to the settings and uninstall this app before it starts, or what I have found to be easier, just use shell commands to hit home and uninstall while the app tries to regain control.
The table is currently running 3.2, and cannot update over wifi, nothing happens.
Root was gained by an unknown method, but the SU app won't open up. I can access su through the shell however.
I have tried flashing a cwm recovery through ODIN which says is successful but if it is booted straight to the recovery it is still stock.
Flashing ROM's through ODIN appear to be successful, but just boots right back to the original rom and recovery.
Adding anything to the SD card or anywhere else accessable to the stock recovery does not work either because the SD card is reformatted to the original contents every time.
This also occurs with any apps that are installed, each one is removed when rebooted except for SU. And Rom Manager FC's when CWM is attempting to flash.
nvflash will not work either because the bootloader is locked.
I don't know much about the boot sequence for android, but I looked for any init. files that are out of the ordinary and cannot find anything.
I'm giving this tablet away when I finally figure it out, I just want to fix it. Any help would be awesome and let me know if I've left something out.
Even if no one has any specific suggestions, can someone post a PIT file for a SCH-i905? I have seen the stock firmware that can be flashed through ODIN but it does not stick on my unit.
Thanks!
Excuse my English but my original language is Spanish.
The default verizon tablet brings in recovery an option that reloads the original recovery. If units installed CWM via Odin must access the recovery option (Vol +) on 1st boot and enter the option to leave cmw (reboot) will give you the option of not recovering the recovery.
The other alternative is to flash via odin the original software look it by google "PDA_HC31_EG01Ba_AP352081user_CP1033580_LTE20110704_0708"
in this case the tab stay with the factory version.
if the team does not have SIM must type top left - top right - bottom left, bottom right and then vol + to unlock.
good look

i had the same problem but pulling the sim and unlocking as mentioned above helped a lot then went through the whole rooting process through odin and have not had any issues with anything reverting back to stock. only issue now is not very many roms for our model "bummer" all in all still a good droid tablet for what i paid lol if you still havent got it going let me know and i will give you all the directions and steps i used
I have tried installing PDA_HC31_EG01Ba_AP352081user_CP1033580_LTE2011070 4_0708 through Odin3.
I do boot directly into recovery after installing CWM, the stock recovery still persists. I have tried several times because I know sometimes it does not stick.
I have also tried flashing the factory image linked in that xda post "[ROM]EG01 - Factory STOCK ODIN Image - VZW LTE Tab 10.1".
Boots right back up and starts the same taxi cab show case media software it normally does.
One thing I did not note in the first post. I do have root access when the tablet is booted into the os, but I do not when the tablet is in recover. I dont know if this is unusual or not.
I can also install busy box, but have yet to find out his would be useful.
I also do not have access to nvflash, but I think this is normal because the bootloader is not unlocked.

Awesome, I'll give this a go when I get home.
Was there a p4vzw twrp version some where in those links?
Looks like all of the ones referenced were 3g and wifi only.
Sidenote: I don't care if I keep 4g functionality or not, I will only be using this for wifi, if that makes fixing the problem any easier.

I was able to find the thread, thanks!
After downloading the odin flashable twrp, I tried first with Odin3, but it failed. Then I flashed with JOdin, this first pulled a PIT file from the tab then failed to repartition. If I ran it without repartitioning it said it was sucessful, but if I boot straight into recovery the stock android recovery still comes up.
I have a way to get a pit file now though, so that's nice.

Hi..you can just use Kingo Root from this thread which is really simple to use, but i see the link for the program is now working again in that post, but you can get the program in my post also here as it will work on your model of the mega and use either the CWM or TWRP recovery from Silesh.Nair post here and in his signature use the downloads link and once on the download site and then select Recoveries via Odin and then select Old and there you can choose either CWM or TWRP recovery to flash with odin (i use Odin 3.07) and flash the .tar file with Odin and check my post here on how to use Odin, hope this helps you out and if you need more help just post.

Grab the recovery in Silesh signature or philz touch cause you will needing to use it anyways with the 4.4 ROMs
*2SHAYNEZ*KCCO*
Hi..well first i would do is re-flash the recovery (either the CWM or the TWRP one, depends on which one you use) with odin and uncheck reboot option in odin, but when it is done flashing unplug your device and reboot your device into the recovery right away again as this has to be done in order for the recovery to work properly and from the stock recovery being installed by the device again.
The red lines can be taken away once you have your recovery flashed you have to flash the stock kernel from your rom with odin (recheck the reboot option in odin) which is the boot.img file and it has to be converted to a .tar file to be flashed via odin, you just have to get the stock rom for your region and unpack the zip file and then extract the boot.img file from the rom file which it usually comes as a .tar.md5 file or just a .tar file also. Just use winrar to extract the boot.img file and if you can do this and upload that boot.img file i can convert it for you if you like.
But even if you flash the stock kernel which may take twice to flash to get rid of the two red line when booting up your device, but when you go into recovery mode the two red lines will still be there i believe as your model of the mega is different than mine and my does not show this, only booting recovery in blue shows on my i527m version of the mega..hope this helps you out.
Try the re-flashing of the recovery and see how the phone boots into the rom after that as you might have to clear the Dalvik Cache with the recovery as this sometimes can correct boot problems when clearing this.

So I just installed the 0.2.3 cm 12 beta rom on and since I was giving my galaxy light to a friend I decided to do a factory reset so when I did that the phone rebooted and now its stuck at the twrp recovery splashscreen. I've already tried rebooting and re-flashing twrp but no luck. Could it be a cache problem or something? Thanks to all in advance who reply.

Im guessing you wiped device and if you go into recovery and try to reboot system it will tell you no os installed if that is the case you can plug device into computer and still use twrp as file manager thats if you had a backup stored on desktop or drag a CM zip to device .
other method of course would be to enter download mode and use odin to flash stock firmware for your device not sure if you have t399 or the N varient lastest beening OH2/OH3 you can find that in my filehost i have stock odin zips to flash.

So I just installed the 0.2.3 cm 12 beta rom on and since I was giving my galaxy light to a friend I decided to do a factory reset so when I did that the phone rebooted and now its stuck at the twrp recovery splashscreen. I've already tried rebooting and re-flashing twrp but no luck. Could it be a cache problem or something? Thanks to all in advance who reply.

Im more than sure that I can help you fix it. Metro or tmobile? Kernal? Any previous roms installed? You didnt delete your os but odin will work ill give you a working version and instructions but what version?

I used the download from this guide by ShabbyPenguin: http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-restore-your-galaxy-light-to-stock-mja.846767/
Hey guys...I did the same thing but my t399 must have lost battery charge because when I picked it back up, it was dead...I plugged in and it started flashing the Samsung screen slowly at me. It would not reboot. I did get download and twrp to show up and start to atleast work enough to flash and Odin again...I used Shabby's kernel source and it is still doing the same thing after flashing through Odin. Still stuck on Samsung screen slowly flashing and recovery shows no operating system. I'm about to put it back in a drawer but I feel it's so close that I had to ask for help. I flashed shabby work to root and recovery. I flashed twrp 2.7 and the cm12 beta rom. Then back to shabby guide to get it to recognize, it did..kind of..but still boot looped. Flashed 3 times... No changes. Can anyone help or is it time for a staircase? hA!
Oh yes .. I don't think the battery is bad.. I checked it with a meter and it reads voltage. It does get pretty hot while I'm working on it though and my pc shows its charged at 100% but the phone doesn't show that...it stays in like dead mode. Nit recognizing again. Anybody have suggestions? In recovery it also indicated it can not locate most of my files in read after I flash.. what am I doing wrong.
sgh-399n bootloop
It's taken me 2 months to cry for help. I'm not a complete noobie, but I'm completely exhausted. First of all, one morning I woke up and I thought that somehow my battery was dead. It wasn't. Eventually, I found it in a bootloop. This phone was working fine, running a "Tiger_Lilly" ROM the night before. I've tried everything using Odin, adb and fastboot (I'm not sure how to get the phone in fastboot mode and also, before using Odin, TWRP wouldn't mount/data.) I'm stumped. Would appreciate some help, thank you.
HELP...!!!

What was you using prior to it bootlooping and what rom was installed have you modifed anything else such as partions etc...
also list your method and link rom your trying. just wondering if its the lastest version for device. while in odin also make sure Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time is only selected and what version of odin are you using?
If your unable to flash any rom thru odin then there must be a major problem else where until we can narrow it down no one can assist you.
hi good morning, i actually dont know the prior version of the SW, i am using the available version on sammobile of the sw and i am trying odin to flash, ive already used odin 3.8 and 3.9 and the one that said it is configured to this phone in the thread.
