Question regarding Rooting - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm somewhat new to Android operating systems. I had a iphone for years, knew how to jailbreak and such for it. Android is a little trickier I feel.
I was following Team Epic's thread to root my galaxy. I get to the point where I have to download CWM recovery file. I download the file, but it won't let me extract it because its a md5 file. I downloaded different file readers so it will let me correctly read and extract the file so I can load it into the PDA part of Odin.
I use the file it gives me when I do extract it, which is incorrect I guess, because I get this error message when I start Odin (after putting my phone into download mode, and after odin recognizes my phone when it's connected)
<OSM> CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar (1).md5 is invalid.
how do i extract the file? better yet, is there a way around this?

go here and follow the steps and you will be fine.

ERM your trying to flash the LTE recovery on a non-LTE device. Download CF-ROOT v6.4, extract, open Odin, connect your phone to your PC in download mode, make sure your phone is recognized, click PDA, find the file you just extracted, double click, click start. Bish bash bosh. It will install recovery and root your device.

It seems that odin did not find your phone, you got the sub drivers installed and kies closed (also look into Taj manager)?

I really need your help please

My verizon note 2 is stuck in the boot screen that shows SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE II. It just keeps FLASHING every 2-3 seconds.
Odin keeps failing, Ive already done the root yesterday and installed a rom and than i got a samsung update and it downloaded and went into installing it which all went well. But when it restarted I got stuck as mentioned above.
Please advice me on what to do. I'm not new to odin and I have flashed the gn2 yesterday to original formware but today it just fails????
Please help with ideas. THANKS
How about a batttery pull. Then hold power home and up key and see if u have custom recovery and if so then do a restore of your back up. Or just flash another rom.

As i do that the logo keeps flashing every 2-3 seconds and nothing ever happens.
I this because of the logo words are flashing nothing works when I try to do the normal/usual restore tricks.
If the logo words would stay still/freeze in place I would be golden. But as they just keep flashing I cant do nothing.
This is one serious problem Im thinking. Anyone that gets me out of this is a GENIUS, PURE GENIUS!!

Can you boot into download mode (power, home, vol. down), then flash a new rom through your computer? I'd start with rom, then if that doesn't work try flash a new recovery.

Download a custom recovery zip from TWRP, If you used odin, just boot into download, and flash through odin.
Edit: I didn't realize odin was failing. Scratch that.
Three things we need more info about how Odin is failing, but I have a guess it says sboot then fails. So in that case go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35265728
Get the alternate restore and use that in Odin. Or you could try the pit file, some day that fixes them up. Second had you read at all or looked in the stickies you would have got that answer in 10 seconds. Third, and finally never post in development until you develop something. Especially when you're getting help here, that's spam and can get you banned, plus normally I and others will not help you for that.

- I tried the pit no go.
- who said I did not look at the stickies?Maybe I should have mentioned that I did.
I did do as what was said in that link the first day I but my phone and it DID work.
Now it does not work and thats why I was asking her for help.
- I cant believe posting here is SPAM but ok I should have know better.
- Glad I got help regardless, thanks to everyone.
But I still have the issue.

Unroot Factory Reset VRUAME7 Verizon S4 Odin Failed. Stuck on Yellow Exclamation!

I rooted on VRUAME7 I am now trying to do a reset/restore. When I did a factory reset in the system, it rebooted and is now stuck on a yellow exclamation mark and says:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recover mode in Kies & try again."
I downloaded the Stock Restore and followed a guide to restore using Odin.

2.)How do I unroot and restore this back to factory?

Yeah, thats what I realized after I saw the file had 'MDK' in the name, unfortunately, I haven't found a 'restore' thread or post that references a ME7 image. Hopefully, others that have the same issue will find this thread.

It can if they boot it. If you unrooted and are back to a stock rom reboot it a few times and it should go away.

Is there a way to UnRoot without using a PC? Im currently at work and now my phone is not getting any signal easily, and I want to unroot but do not have a cable and cant install anything on this PC. I don't want to be without signal before I drive home, just in case.
I tried leaving it as a zip but can't find it for PDA. I tried extracting but it says it's corrupted. Please Help! :crying:

Get an md5 verifier and verify if the download is good or not. Thats the best way to do it. Which file are you downloading, some dont need to be extracted if I remember right.

Just checked the md5 and under checksum value it gave me this (891ff0e944bbd2cc3ebbd381d5afa59d)
edit: not to sure if it means that it checks out or not, but ODIN says that the hash value is invalid

Help unlock my SGH-T599N please!
Hi... BRAND NOOB ALERT
*I've got the Metro PCS sgh-t599n*
It was rooted by my ex before he split*And Iv been trying to unlock my phone for almost a month since by myself. And I don't know what I'm doing.
So far, the only thing I was able to unlock was a virus onto my step moms laptop. Very nice way to say thanks to her. SMH. (My dad was able to fix that but not without being super mad =/)
*Do you know how I can unlock it??*I don't have one of those box thigs but I can connect it to my computer with USB*
I have the T mobile sim card (and like a total rookie) I activated (and paid for) prepaid service through them 3 wks ago... Sigh.*Guess I was a little over confident I would be able to figure this out lol I have done soooo much reading on it its insane! And although it's very interesting, ai t nobody got time.... So..
I have already canceled my metro service and didn't have them for 3 months prior, so getting my network sim unlock code from Metro isn't an option.
Also, (like a big giant noob) I thought I would be cute and try to guess unlock pin when I had some time to kill one day*SMH.*Now I may have made it to where I will need a PUK code also.*
IDK... That's probably obvious that tho
If anyone can help me with any advice or information, or even just point me in the right direction you would definitely be my hero. *This is the longest I have ever been away from my 6 yr old and although we Skype often, if I am not home (or somewhere with wif ) he has no way to reach me atm, even tho I'm paying for service.*Boooo. Lol. Someone help the newbie! Please and thank you =)*

What step does it fail at?
Found the pit here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51853378&postcount=256
So, I'd check off the repartition again, use that pit file and then redo the t599n Odin file from before.

Thanks i will try this pit. every time i put stock Rom for T599v i believe Tmo model or for T599n when i put pit and prerooted it says writing pit never shows percentage bar then lags out or fails to write as it says. then when i try to use odin again it will freeze for 5 minutes or more then fail. I tried to use heimdall front end too but kept saying all firmware.xml was missing in the multiple Roms i put on there then when pit is put in heimidall it wants me to manually build it i would have no problem with that but dont know the partition segments. This is my first time getting this deep into phone tech. Sorry if i use wrong teminology. I will report back with my findings ASAP

This is what i get everytime i run odin. I have tried every pot on my laptop and i have used 4-5 different usb cables. i have even unistalled all driver reinstalled them and also odin as well.
Another option might be to load a custom recovery and a rom to see if that will at least get you booting.
I have tried putting multiple recoverys pits roms everything i have found on XDA and Android forums. damn thing will not format. just only can get to download mode after i hit buttons to put it there. idk maybe its just hard bricked for good without JTAG and i should just use it for batting practice

i have since got phone to turn back on and put in download mode. Still failing to part even with recovery.tar in PDA with pit in PIT. but now it wont register anything but 0 instead of 1 and com like it was before.. Idk if that has something to do with it. I have removed Sd card to make sure it wasnt showing as two seperate ids. and even though it failed to flash on download mode it shows CUSTOM PIT BINARY!!
Ah, I was just suggesting to load the recovery, boot to it and flash a rom, without messing with the pit.

This is what i get trying to flash with Heimdall front end flashing with pit and param
Wanted to see if it was just odin. think it might be though because odin doesnt even try to show it loading up pit or anything. im using odin 3.04
You should be able to install a recovery without needing the pit file or anything else. Just make sure that Re-Partition is unchecked so it doesn't think it needs a pit file period.

Hmm. You can try the newest Odin. But you get that error with Re-Partition off as well? Strange. You might possibly have to get it to an actual service who should have the full actual file instead of bits and pieces rolled into a tar. Or get a JTAG service.

[ROM][ODIN] GT-N5110 XXDNE1 (Modem/Kernel/Bootloader/ROM - Full Restore - Unrooted)

I was asked to make this one-click to help simplify the process of restoring a stock factory build for our Note 8.0 users. At this time neither myself or @garwynn are planning on releasing a rooted One-Click.
This Odin One-Click.exe contains the Stock GT-N5110 XXDNE1 Bootloader, Kernel, Modem and ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 16GB Wi-Fi edition (GT-N5110). Yes, that means this comes with the full Knox Bootloader.
There has been no change to the ROM from the initial build released by Samsung.
This will NOT trigger the Yellow Triangle NOR will it increment the Odin flash count.
This one-click resets your whole device to the stock XXDNE1 experience, similar to a factory restore and it may wipe all data. It also contains the full bootloader and Knox.
Instructions:
1: Backup anything important and Disable any PINs.
During this process your device's software will be returned to the Stock setup. All system data will be lost. To be safe, it is best to archive your backup off your device, ie on your PC or Dropbox.
2: Install Samsung USB/Android drivers (if necessary).
Samsung Drivers Download Link
3: Download the XXDNE1 Stock ROM One-Click.
GT-N5110 XXDNE1 Full Restore Unrooted (Compressed Archive).exe (Resets user data)
4: Unzip One-Click ROM using 7zip (this package is a self-extracting exe you should just be able to double-click on it after download and it will do the rest).
5: Start the Odin One-Click.
Navigate to the location where the "GT-N5110 XXDNE1 Full Restore Unrooted.exe" was saved upon extract from the 7Zip archive.
Double-click on "GT-N5110 XXDNE1 Full Restore Unrooted.exe". *On Vista or newer, you may need to right-click on the file and Run as Administrator.
6: Place device in Download Mode.
- Power device completely off.
- Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons, all at the same time.
- Release the buttons only when the ‘Warning!!’ message appears.
- Press [Volume Up] to enter Download mode.
7: Connect USB cable to PC and device.
Odin should show a yellow COM port in the second column. If you do not see a yellow COM port, you may need to run the Odin One-Click as Administrator and/or unplug/plugin the USB cable after starting Odin One-Click.
8: Start Odin flash process.
Press [Start].
9: Complete - PASS!
Status should change to green PASS! At this point your device should automatically reboot.
The boot process will take slightly longer than usual during which time you'll see the Samsung logo screen.
Congratulations! You've flashed the Factory Restore XXDNE1 build!

I believe it would mess up your bootloader but I don't have a way to verify as I don't have the n5100. Sorry!

Will this reset the flash counter and allow ota updates? Or do you need to reset flash counter before you do this?

This won't reset the counter but it won't increment it either. This is a 100% stock unrooted ROM so you'll be able to take OTA's again after flashing.
Can I side load this with ADB? I am currently bricked and looking to start over if I can get my N5110 to install another ROM.

I have full access to recovery and download modes.
I am unable to Odin and flash because of partition errors. I plan on using TWRP and the ADB option with Android SDk. Do you think this will work?
I have not been able to Odin . Pit files successfully and re-partition. I am hoping ADB will allow me to put the rom inside the current partitions and use TWRP to flash.
Just a thought. I really don't know what I am doing or how to fix it. But if I have download mode and recovery, I should be able to find a way.
I am currently in a bootloop to recovery.
Thanks for your response and any suggestions you may have.

Unfortunately I don't know that this will work for you at this time. Essentially the one-click is a repackaged TAR. The TAR itself contains image files that correspond to specific partitions on your device. If the partitions on the device don't match up Odin is supposed to throw up a flag and stop the flash in order to prevent bricking the device.
I can't be 100% certain but given the fact it is stopping on sboot.bin, my guess is that the issues you are experiencing probably come from flashing a ZIP bootloader or ROM for another device. If that's the case we might be able to backtrack and undo what you've done so far but this won't work unless you have the right partition structures already in place.
I have spent hours trying to re-partition. The furthest I have gotten is where I am now... Stuck on Get PIT for mapping..
.. In ODIN. I am using the only PIT file for N5110 available on the entire World Wide Web!

hello, could someone please point me in the right direction. I've been trying to use this tool, I have access to stock recovery, when I factory reset it says it can't mount the /system. I tried this tool to reinstall every thing, but it fails at sboot.bin. all the research I've done leads me to believe this has something to do with the bootloader being locked, but I can't find anything about it, I keep getting lead back to this post. If anyone could point me where I need to be to figure this out I would really appreciate it.
Edit: I'm not sure what my problem was, but I eventually downloaded the stock 4.4.2 firmware and was able to flash through Odin and get up and running.

Does this clean up all the crap left over from many flashes & nandroid backups & restores? I find I have a lot of bits like old directories from previous meddling (mine) & would like to a real clean up back to pristine stock (so I can start meddling again, sort of from scratch so to speak.
Going to run it anyway (meddling again) to see what comes out the other end but was curious 'is all.

Not able to verify as I no longer have the Note 8 but if I remember correctly the error you are getting is due to your device having a newer bootloader than the one-click. Most of the time a new bootloader locks out flashing of older bootloaders.

[Q] Rooted Galaxy S4 not fully booting.

Hi everyone. I've been meaning to sell my old S4 for awhile now and I haven't been keeping up with the root scene, so clearly I might have screwed something up. I was originally running my S4 rooted with Hyperdrive S15 (Android 4.3) with TWRP + Safestrap 3.71. I deleted the hyperdrive slot and booted into the stock ROM. After that, I used TWRP to wipe everything (dalvik cache/cache/data/factory reset) then after rebooting the phone, it just stays loads up the "Samsung" Screen with the custom symbol under it. I've tried looking at guides online to try to unbrick/fix this phone, but still have no idea what to do. I've tried booting it into download mode, but for some reason, it only goes into recovery mode (I do Vol Up + Home + Power, then as soon as it vibrates, I don't press the power button anymore). I was trying to use Odin but I can't get it to go into download mode, so when I plug it in, Odin doesn't see it. Can anyone give me some ideas/info on how to fix this?
EDIT: Here are the things I have tried doing:
1. I have used both Odin v1.85 and 3.09 to try and flash the VRUEMK2 firmware and the absolute newest firmware (4.4.2 NK2). Here's the log:

Fails on both old and new Odins.....hmmmm...
2. Kies 2.6 and Kies 3 do not seem to be able to find the device when I load them.
Download mode is Power + Vol Down + Home. Press and hold all 3 until you see a warning on phones screen. Once you are at warning screen simply press Vol up once. If this doesn't work you may have to get a download mode jig. I had to buy one for my old S2, they can be found on ebay pretty cheap so you know.
Hope this helps!

Hmmm..how long does it normally take for Odin to do it's thing? I'm following this guide:
http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/06/how-to-unroot-unbrick-galaxy-s4.html
It's been in the "downloading" screen for quite awhile.
EDIT: It says "failed". Hmmm. Figured I should have paid attention to when the article was written. I was previously on VRUEMK2 so I'm going to try this guide:

Looking at that link it shows 4.2.2 firmware for your VZW S4, going by your first post you were on a stock based 4.3 rom since you are using safestrap recovery. If that is correct then your issue is that you need a 4.3 or higher firmware, Samsung made it so you cannot downgrade most firmwares now. If I remember correctly, xda doesn't want us posting links to Samsung Web pages so please Google "sammobile" this will pull up Samsung mobile firmware download page as first result. Click on that link and then enter you model number in search box in top right of page. Enter model number and hit enter. This will pull up a list of firmwares for your model, make sure you choose 4.3 or higher firmware (4.3, 4.4, 4.4.2, or 4.4.4) and download it. Once downloaded please try Odin again.
You will have to make an acct on Samsung site to download firmware but it only takes a few mins and it's free.
Hope this helps, good luck!

Went to sammobile, registered, and downloaded the VRUEMK2 firmware (android 4.3). I tried using Odin 3.09 for this and it failed again. Should I try to flash 4.4 firmware on it? I'm only selecting the "AP" option. Should I use any other options other than f.reset, auto reboot, and AP?
Also, when I try to turn it on normally or even try recovery mode (vol up + home + power) it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"

You could try the 4.4, or you could just download Kies and see if it will restore it for you. Yes you are using correct space (AP) and right things checked. Another though would be to try a lower version of Odin and use the PDA slot to flash it, I vaguely remember someone having trouble on here using newest version to restore phone, he had to use older version.

Yup. Tried Kies 3 and it says device wasn't compatible, but Kies 2.6 seems to be "Connecting" forever. I'll just wait until my 4.4 firmware finishes downloading and I'll try both the new Odin and the old Odin.

Okay I just went at it again. Quick question, if Odin runs through but fails right at the end (literally write as the thing is almost over, it says "Complete Write Operation Failed"), should I just keep trying?

What part is it failing on, system? That is strange that it's still failing since you are trying to flash the newest firmware available for your device. You can try it again but if it failed once it will most likely keep failing. You might want to check md5 sums on the downloads to be sure your not getting a corrupt download.

Alright. Actually, I did a lot of online searching and actually switched the usb port that I was using. After switching USB ports, I tried Odin again, flashed it, and it actually worked. Wow.
Anyways, I've thanked all of your posts, and of course, I thank you for spending the entire day with my problem.

Sweet! Glad to hear you got it fixed! That was going to be my next suggestion. We're you by chance using a USB3 port? (it is blue if you look inside the USB port if it's usb3). For some reason most Android programming needs USB2 ports as they don't play very well with USB3.
Either way, Congratz on fixing your device, I may have given you a few pointers or helpful hints but you fixed it all on your own!

Actually my desktop has usb ports in the front (which aren't a direct connection to the mobo as far as I know) and of course, there are the normal usb ports in the back of it. I switched from the front one to the back one and all was well.

Yep it is usually best to connect directly to mobo instead any type of a USB hub, Android doesn't play very nice with those either!

Hopefully this thread will help those in the future who make the same dumb mistakes I have. Haha...
