[Q] Odin fails at modem.bin

Hi,
I'm trying to flash another firmware for my GIalaxy Note 10.1 N8000. I have read all tutorials etc. and prepared all according to it.
I was able to succesfully root to Clockwork Recovery so i though flashing another firmware to turn the Note into a European one instead of Chinese would be easy too. WRONG!!
Every time i want to flash with Odin it fails in the beginning of the process, see below:
Is there anyone who could comment me on what to do? I was able to recover from the failed flash attempt but i really want to flash another firmware from Europe for this Chinese version.

I tried already two different Firmwares but both seem to fail at the same point. I only installed the USB drivers not KIES so i guess it is not the reason.
Any help what is going wrong or what i should try to do?
Thanks a lot far any help.

Even it is a generic question you might get an answer if you post it in the correct forum.
You are here in the Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7500/7501/7510/7511 forum! This is not for Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000.

Samsung galaxy s3 international will not turn on.

So yeah, for some days ago i have installed a custom rom this one : Leaked Android 4.2.2 XXUFME3 ROM for Galaxy S III
it worked fine but i wanted to get back to stock rom.
So i downloaded a stock rom ( for nordic countries )
After this i re partioned my s3, i used a file for 16 gb cause its my model. after this the phone turned on and i saw samsung galaxy s3 logo blincking, nothing else heppend. But i knew i wasnt done and took the battery out and back, and entered download mode.
Now i chosed a rom with PDA button, i unchecked re partion and hited start button. Odin was stuck at "setup connection".
I have installed and reinstalled drivers, installed and uinstalled kies, i have tried this on all of my usb ports, i tried this on my other pc with installed drivers etc. Nothing WORKS!!!! i am a noob with Android and really need a help. i Have working to get it work 4 hours and nothing...
Btw i have no sd card in my s3.
It looks like i dont have any firmware on my phone now, but i can still enter download mod, but not recovery mod.
What can i do??
Reads as you may have bricked your phone as you have for some unknown reason repartitioned it ..
install stock rom via Odin and post the Odin results .

no need to reset your pc. change the usb port and check it. there's no need for you to panic.

did you do everything as mentioned in this site? http://androidromupdate.com/2012/06...ung-galaxy-s3-gt-i9300-stock-rom-i9300xxale8/
i did!
the only thing i did wrong was to re partition it......
now i dont know how to get it work...
Try flashing again but with the newest ROM from NEE, if flash successful, probably will boot loop again, enter to recovery mode and do a factory reset.

You'll need to re-partition now! You probably screwed pit partition!
Try with another pit file and make sure its a legit one!

Do all in one thick re-partition! And put the pit. And choose pda with your rom

Pretty fun that non experienced people are flashing stuffs, rooting etc etc without reading two or three times before so they learn about what could happen if anything are done the wrong way..
In worst case, warranty is the only solution to fix this and re-program PIT layering of your phone. It may cost if there is any sign of modifications / flash counter above zero...

I have followed this one.. downloaded the ME7 file...
It still is not working. This is not the only ME7 file I have downloaded and they have all not worked.
I have used multiple cables on the phone and multiple versions of odin.
They are all doing the same thing... I have been at this for HOURS.
I am seriously stumped....

I would verify the md5 to.make sure your not getting corrupted downloads. Its pretty common, but ya like hicks said you cant go backwards in firmware which is what you tried to do the first time around. It has to be an me7 image or ml1.

Google md5 checker or md5 verifier. Its a straight forward process. The correct md5 should be posted in the thread.

S6 edge G925F 6.0 downgrade brick?

I tried newest uk beta (BTU) recently and i wasn't happy about the battery etc.
Flashed newest lollipop firmware for NEE csc. I have tried so many firmwares and no luck .. :crying:
Do i miss something big time? and i am 100% sure about that firmware is right.

Getting this kind of log from odin. note this is copy from another thread, otherwise same but buildnumber is different..
I can't even flash twrp/philz recovery. without getting some error, PIT related.
I can't access recovery by anymeans as it wil boot up to that ''smart switch blablabla'' and pc will say it is not supported etc.
I only can access download-mode.
I have tried flash stock 5.1.1 PIT but it makes no difference.
This is 32gb model. How deep i'm in brown?
Got this working!
First i used odin 3.10.7 -> all fails
Then tried 3.10.6 -> first try successfully only that hidden.img was failed but i extracted from firmware and and flashed it after that.
Hope this helps someone.
if you had used smart switch on your pc, it was a lot easier............:good:

the bar is blue
No, there is a 'window' on the bottom left of the app with text in it. What does that text say when you've attempted to flash the phone?. Need all of it, not just the result at the end.
The blue bar means the flash completed successfully but doesn't give any more info than that.

Sboot.bin is the bootloader so I presume that it is either locked or corrupt. I'm not sure if that is a pit error or not. You could try to find another file and hope it works but if you're absolutely sure the one you have is good then there's no point. You could try finding a stock rom that doesn't include the bootloader. Also flashing a pit file (only as a very last step) is an option but make sure it is the correct one for your specific model and region etc.
I hate recommending pit file flashing but in this case it could be viable from other reports around the site. Flashing a pit file is a last resort only, I cannot stress this enough.

Try using different USB cables and USB 2.0 ports.

ive only got the 1 usb port on my tablet
The sboot.bin is not flashing because the bootloader on the phone is newer than the bootloader in the ROM you are flashing, the ROM is not for your phone, and/or you need to try another computer.
It's unlikely that the bootloader is locked as AT&T and Verizon are the only two carriers I know of who lock down the bootloader.
i'm totally out of my knowledge zone here....i did do thison 1 of my old phones a few years back and some one wrote on a comment exactly how to make it stock again....but i'm buggered if i can find that post again....or thats even if the site still has that thread...can anyone point me in the right direction here please?

In use sammobile.com. The download speed for free accounts is not great but I usually start the download and do something else for a while.
