I have to post here because I don't have ten response yet. I have a Verizon S iii and am rooted. I tried to add the new radio and ran into major problems. It went as far as Modem section was all green and the stopped all action for about ten minutes. I the unplugged (ugghh) and therin lies my problems I believe. Pulled battery and tried to start phone and screen comes up saying " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." I came from a HTC where I used CWM allthe time and not familiar with Odin.
PLEASE HELP....
I'd suggest looking into unbricking a phone always before flashing anything custom.

Download the package and the kernal and make sure you have the drivers for the phone.
1. power off phone
2. hold volume down + home + power button
3. hit volume up to enter download mode
4. connect phone and wait for any drivers to finish installing
5. open odin and make sure it states the device is connected by showing a com##(## can be any number, 03 , 05, whatever) in the top left rectangle.
6. hit pda and point to the md5/tar file you downloaded that is the entire stock rom
7. make sure auto reboot is connected and reset time
8. hit start and let it reboot by itself
If the rom does not flash then repeat the same steps but instead of flashing the stock rom use the kernal.
Good luck.

NOTE: i can't even reboot my phone. it remain offed after installing update.
You have a galaxy s ii alright, what model? I9100?
So let me get this straight, you flashed via odin and the phone rebooted in CMW?
That would mean you didn't flash a thing.
Have you followed any flashing guide?

you flashed via odin by putting your device in download mode right?
did it restart after flashing the firmware? did you see result in the odin window?
if you can attach screenshot of the odin window it might help to understand the issue.
after flashing I9100XWLS8_I9100FOPLS3_FOP via odin, device should restart. first time it takes time. if you are stuck in samsung logo go in to recovery mode and do factory reset then restart the device. it should be fine.

the CWM you have in the picture is custom not the stock recovery. if you flash official firmware it should have stock recovery.

Did you even read about what those links are meant for?
One is for flashing ICS, the other is for getting back to stock firmware, and the last one is for getting out of a soft-brick.
REBOOT into Download Mode (Home + Power + Vol. Down)
PLUG your device in your PC.
KILL all KIES process working on the background (If you don't have Kies, install it and then close it all up)
OPEN ODIN and select the JB LS8 tar file on PDA and press start.
When it says "pass", phone will reboot itself.

If you get RESET again wait it out for 5 mins.
Try another odin version too.
And get LS8 from sammobile.

dont panic, remove the battery and put it back, dont power on. charge it for minimum 30 mins. then try to reflash the firmware using correct odin. after flashing you should have stock recovery. go in to stock recovery do factory reset and then restart the phone.

I am looking at your pictures but it doesn't make any sense.
When Odin shows "Pass" the device should reboot itself and go straight to android, not recovery.
Hi guys,
i updated my galaxy alpha to lollipop but i found a little big problem: recent button doen's work anymore. It doens't even light when pressed. I read some threads here on xda about people experiencing this issue and i decided to open a new thread to try to fix this kind of problem.
As first "fix" i found helpful enable the super sensitive touch.
And you guys?
if u a using the G850f model, try to backup your data. Then do a complete data and cache wipe (hard reset) then install a clean lolipop update and see if it will work.

I have same issue. And tried to backup my data and install a clean lollipop. Doesn't work.
Yes i tried it too but doesn't work.
tried it all. Flash, reflash, downgrade upgrade but no luck. it only works if i downgrade to 4.4. I also tried dowgrading to a xef csc kk then upgrading to lollipop xef but the damn key doesnt wanna work.
if i wipe from recovery then it goes through but givea an error saying somethibg **** E: cant find storage
i see the s5 topic they have problem like you...recent app and home key for them dos not worck ... im going to update mine to nighte i report my work wish me luck
ok i just finish flashing android 5 ...im from iran and my recent butten worck fine..my phone was not rooted before
I know exactly the answer to the Recent app keys not working after lollipop update. It only doesn't work when phone is in high temperature. I also experienced it but when i let my phone cool down. It worked perfectly fine

Yup you are right - however my phone is cool but still no left key. if i put it in the fridge then it works for a few mins.
on 4.4 never had this issue.
xef personal conclusion
hy, im from romania and flashed in odin the xef lollipop last night
till now no problem, works like a charm, slightly more performant than kk and more battery saver, recent app button works, im happy, so far no issues! ...finger cross....
fore the ones with issues try to update like me, with odin in these steps:
!!! charge phone battery to 100% with wall plug and make sure your phone is a free carrier type - the SM-G850F. download the france lollipop xef from samsung firmware site and download odin 3.10 from same place. unpack odin to a folder and then unpack the firmware downloaded to same odin folder.
1. backup to pc, cloud, etc. all you need - optional, but dont cry after for loosing your naked girl pics
2. shut down phone and make a factory reset - enter with volum up+home+power
DO NOT RESET THE CACHE - ONLY RESET DATA/FACTORY RESET
3. start odin and after this restart from earlier bootloader, let the phone start normally like after every normal reset but when ask for setup (first window screen where asks for language, accessibility, etc) dont begin anything and shut down the phone - press power and choose shutdown
4. start phone in download mode with vol. down+home+power and when in, select continue, a window with odin mode will appear
5. now connect phone to pc and in odin should appear as recognised, the square become blue and shows the com port number
6. in odin select the AP button and choose the firmware unpacked, unzipped, with the .md5 at the end of the name
7. make sure the RE-PARTITION checkhole is unchecked and the freset time and autorestart are checked, and hit start to begin flash
8. be patient and wait to finnish, it has several steps like copying (a blue line in download mode), restarting and upgrading/deleting things, restarting again and showing the galaxy alpha logo - DO NOT TOUCH IT, LET THE PHONE TO FINNISH, and after few minutes the amazing setup window appear !
9. disconnect the phone from computer, close odin, and shut down the phone!
10. start the phone in bootloader with vol. up+home+power and make a factory reset/wipe data but do not delete/reset the cache after, just data/factory reset
11. restart phone and enjoy your lollipop
if all this is made like i said then you should encounter no issues!
give feedback for help or if issues appear!

Mine also not working when phone is high temperature. Try cooling it down
I have updated to lollipop without any reset.
Have not found any bugs jet.
I was wondering maybe it has something to do with the region your phone comes from, according to the recent button not working?
I had the same problem, and I did this:
Went to Chrome - Settings - Combine Tabs and Apps. I deactivated the option, and by mistake, hit the back button, and started working.
Eventhough the option is Deactivated, when I press the left button, I can see Chorme's tabs wtithin the Recents Apps.
After that had to install and app from Google Play, and after doing so, the button stoped working again. I restarted de phone, and 20 minutes later, the button started working. I have no clue of what's going on.

Still doesn't work.
I always do factory reset, dalvic & cash & than flash new rom,ater instalig it I wipe dalvic again .
All working ,except in new Eudemony V4(5.0.2) deodex break recovery & stack on EULA Data conection.
possible solution - NONE, till region versions come out
i start to believe more and more that this issue has to do with region scrambling software glitches - scientifically said
probably some regions are compatible and some aren't
I tried to change the settings in display settings by increasing the sensitivity and it works. Eureka!:victory:
Try it for yourself.. go to settings under display.
Same issue will it work with other 5.x roms?
I have the same issue. I have not rooted this phone yet. I sent it back to Virgin and they downgraded it back to 4.4.4 then sent it back "fixed". Since I got no feedback I thought it must have been an issue during the update. So I updated again and Recent apps is still not working. I am using an app that brings up the menu for now. I am hoping that 5.1 will fix this issue anyone know the odds on that? Also I am willing to root and loose warranty IF it will work under a custom Rom (or will it not because the ROM would be based on 5.0.1?) Is downgrading pretty risky? I have only rooted with my nexus 4 and moto G and only ran Cyangenmod. so I am not sure of the risks of downgrading. (I remember it being risky in my iphone days). Any thoughts or suggestions?

btw volume down+home+power button is called download mode. recovery mode is different. And also your tutorial mentions xposed uninstaller. how to use uninstaller if phone bootloops and we don't have twrp recovery? :/
Sorry, my fault. I have edit it to download mode. Thx for correcting.
I don't find any boot loop. And if you do, then you can try reflashing the phone back to stock.
the original recovery is still there.
you can as well install TWRP but you will find that red kernel error on boot (enforcing).
and you can only boot to TWRP by using NDR utils -- not with buttons.
its the 6th time am getting into bootloop

Sorry, my fault. I have edit it to download mode. Thx for correcting.
I don't find any boot loop. And if you do, then you can try reflashing the phone back to stock.
the original recovery is still there.
you can as well install TWRP but you will find that red kernel error on boot (enforcing).
and you can only boot to TWRP by using NDR utils -- not with buttons.

hey there, does this xposed work on A800F with 6.0.1 marshmallow?
or is it only for lollipop?
thanks
great need of help from you guys...
i have a samsung a8(sm a800f vietnam, android 5.0.0) from my aunt but she had this phone for almost 2 years and gave it to me. i wanted to make it faster and maybe have an android 6.0.0 on it(if possible). im a super noob on this process but i already tried this thread and ([ROOT][TWRP][Xposed][New] Samsung Galaxy A8 (A800F/A800I) on 6.0.0)<< this too. hope you guys could help me i would very well appreciate it.
My Tab S6 tried to auto-install an update yesterday (it is rarely connected to Wifi/internet). It then rebooted. Since then, it's been stuck in a boot loop.
It will display the "Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 | Secured By Knox" logo screen for a few seconds, then switch to the blue "Installing System Update" screen (with the android logo). Installing System Update gets to 28% and stops. Then the rotating icon on the android freezes. Then the device reboots and starts all over again.
Edit: the tablet is 100% stock. It's not been rooted or had any custom ROMs loaded.
I have tried getting to recovery mode, by holding power+volup while it boots. This doesn't seem to change the behavior at all. Any advice is much appreciated.

can you shut it down? try volume down and power button ? if it don't shut down, do this soon as it reboots, hold volume up and down and plug in usb cable to desktop/laptop usb port! it will boot into download mode!

I can't actually shut it down. If I start holding power+voldown right after it boots, the tablet does reboot before getting stuck at 28%. But it reboots--it doesn't power off.
I tried download mode and that actually seemed to work! Specifically, I left the tablet overnight in the reboot loop until the battery drained. Just now, I held down volup+voldown and plugged it into my laptop. I got the green "Warning/Custom OS" screen and then pressed volup to continue. The tablet rebooted pretty quickly after that (I'm guessing due to low battery) so I didn't get a good look at the download mode options.
Once I'm in download mode, can I factory reset the tablet? I don't need to preserve any data/apps/settings.

You cannot reset the tablet from Download mode afaik- You need to enter Recovery Mode to do that.
You can however, flash stock from Download mode using Odin (3.13.3 is best). If you're not confident with doing that, your best option is Factory Reset in Recovery Mode. Hold Volume Up and Power when the Tablet is booting, let go when you see the Samsung logo. The timing can be tricky, but you should be able to do it. Also, you can force a reboot with Volume Down and Power.
Alternatively, if factory reset doesn't work, since you're completely stock, you will still be covered under warrenty.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried this many many times. I've tried letting go of the buttons at different times. I've tried holding volup while letting go of power. I've tried this a ton of different ways, and no matter what, the tablet always shows the "Installing system update" screen. Some googling has led me to believe that sometimes, when performing a factory reset, the "Installing system update" screen shows up right before the normal recovery screen. Is it possible that the tablet is trying to get to recovery mode, but can't get past this first step?

Honestly, I don't know - I'm not an expert but I guess it's possible that the update failed and corrupted both System and Recovery.
You'll be covered under warrenty, so maybe just return the Tablet from where you purchased or direct to Samsung, could take a while given the current situation though I guess. If you have a PC, then I think the best option would be to just flash stock yourself, since that's probably all Samsung will do. Even if that doesn't work you'd still be covered under warrenty, as far as I'm aware attempting to flash stock doesn't trip Knox.
Here is solution to unbrick your device!!!

Despair not...I have just come from resolving this exact situation not 30 minutes ago. I'd been trying to flash (using Odin as I decided to stay on Stock and not root this device, for a change) the latest OneUI2.1 releases for my device (SM-T865 - LTE version) and boom in the middle of the Odin update, the flash just failed...I then couldn't reboot and get into neither Recovery, nor Download Mode because it appears my bootloader and recovery both got corrupted.
Here's what you need....
1. Odin app for PC (am on Windows)
2. Your device's Stock firmware (sammobile firmware archive)
3. You will need someone to help you boot the device directly into Download mode (and this is the tricky part because for most of us we are used to get into Bootloader by using the key combination (from Powered Off device) Vol+ and Power On at the same time to get into stock recovery and then scrolling down to option 2 in this menu, "Reboot to Bootloader". Well now you are going to boot directly into Bootloader mode. Here's how you do it...
4. Get your friend to line up the USB-C cable into the port of the device, but DO NOT press it in...yet
5. Press Power off and Vol- buttons at the same time to turn off the device
6. And now you have to to be super fast: if device starts to turn on on its own, YOU press and hold Vol+ and Vol- both at the same time while YOUR FRIEND pushes the USB cable fully into the port - you should now have booted directly into Download mode. (if not repeat this, and remember to be super fast and sync with your friend pushing in the USB cable)...
7. When you get into Download mode, then you are home and dry...
8. Select ONLY the Bootloader file (BL...XX...) in Odin, make sure only "reset time" and "reboot" are ticked, and flash
9. When device reboots, press Vol+ and Power combo to get back into Bootloader mode again...but I think device will reboot into Download mode on its own
10. Now select all the files from your Stock file into the various tabs (BL, CP, CSC, AP...) do not select HOME_CSC as we want to flush this device clean...
11. Flash, and voila...success - you will have lost all your data but rather that than losing the device...
12. Feedback here and let us know if this works? For reference for others in the future...
FYI, I got in this situation, and the previous post did work for me, just takes good timing! Thanks!!!!
Same issue today for me. My tablet showed different screen with green and red text, it allowed me to delete app data, then booted into safe mode, then i had to do factory reset and now i am screwed, as it is refusing to restore any apps and their settings. I will try to flash it back to Android 9, maybe then it will do the restore. I forgot to do any manual backup to SD or so.
Edit: the device upgraded to 10, but reset itself after about 10 minutes of use.
Edit2: i found what caused it. It is caused by Nova Launcher, if i try to set wallpaper.
Just found a news article that there is a RGB/sRGB problem with wallpapers. It might be the problem i had.
I am adding a screenshot of the result.
Yeah, I had that kind of reboot loop from a wallpaper that I downloaded

Hi,
Really need your help, after I updated my firmware using Odin, updated BL, AP, CP, CSC, my tab cannot boot up stuck in logo. Doing the Power + volume up leads me to different screen now. I cannot access recovery mode or download page anymore,
What must I do? Pleasssee help. Added the pic, after doing hard reset (power + vol up)
I cannot connect back to Odin also. Always setup connection failed.
Please help. Really messed up big time
Just a thought... Can this be restored from service center?
Thank you in advance.
I have the same problem with a Tab S6 Lite, it is in bootloop and does not let me enter the recovery mode, I can go into download mode and I flashed the latest original firmware Android11, Android10 etc., . I tried them all but always goes in bootloop, and also the bootloop occurs only if I connect the usb cable to the PC, without any sign of life. Do I still have hopes or have I compromised the motherboard?
The reason for all this is because I had followed a guide to give root permissions with magisk, I did everything right, only that the guide was with Android10, while I had Android11 and I was deceived by the fact that in the title of the guide there was written "guide 2021"
, so I did not check the compatibility of operating systems, I was a fool, I know, I hope so much that I did nothing irretrievable, it's my son's tablet!

Did you use HOME CSC or the non HOME CSC when flashing?

Download the android 11 last rooted rom from there. You install it with odin as as a normal original rom.
Disable in odin auto reboot. After rom install, restart manually and press the correct buttons immediately to boot in Twrp and not to system. Format (not wipe) data from there and reboot to system. If you are lucky it will work..
(I hope you unlocked bootloader before try to root. If you haven't unlocked bootloader this won't work also).

Flash in odin the same rom you had. There are 2 csc files in rom, which you use 1 in odin one. Try use the "home csc". Home csc keep KEEPS your data. If you're lucky it may work. (It would work in keeping your data 100% if your rom was ok. Because it isn't you have some changes to work.).
You must try with same rom or newer.
CSC – If you flash the CSC file, it’ll perform a factory reset of your Galaxy device and wipe all data while installing a new firmware to bring your device to the same state as it was when you purchased it. Go with CSC if you want a clean installation.
HOME_CSC – On the other hand, if you want to keep your Samsung phone’s data and settings even flashing the stock firmware, you can select the HOME_CSC file.
