Hi guys!
I need your help.
My P-7501 doesn't pass the SAMSUNG logo. It is NOT a bootloop (in my opinion), it just displays the animated logo, which keeps 'shining' forever.
It had the stock rom (4.0.4). I can access to Download mode and Recovery.
This is a list of things I've tried:
- Rebooted to recovery, wiped data/factory reset
- Flashed, using Odin 3.07, "GT-P7500 ITV P7500XXLQ8 P7500OXALQ8 Original" and also "P7501XXLPC_P7501DBTLPC_DBT" stock roms. No errors, but still same issue.
- Installed Recovery – ClockworkMod 6.0.3.0 (CM 10.1) and then wiped data, formatted drives, cache, Dalvik, ... Nothing changed.
- Installed TWRP recovery, but got the 'rolling' screen issue.
- Manually (with adb sideload) tried to install "Ganbarou-GT-P7501-v4.05-2013-11-16", but got errors during the installation.
I have wiped data, formatted drives, cache, Dalvik, before and after every flash. I've tried everything I have found in here and many other websites, but the solution is always to flash a rom... but this is not working for me.
Any suggestion, info request, question is really welcome.
Thanks in advance!
I'm still using odin v1.85 althou this should make no difference. You can find it here if you wanna give it a try.
What version of TWRP did you use? You can find 2.6.3.0 here.
What errors did you get installing the custom ROM?
You can push files via adb to your tab if it dosn't show up as a usb-storage device and then use your custom-recovery to install it...
adb push /path/to/local/file /mnt/sdcard/path/to/file
The standard procedure of installing a new custom ROM is...
-Boot into your custom-recovery
-Factory reset
-Wipe system partition
-Install ROM from zip
-Install gapps from zip
Optionally you can reboot and fully boot up your device before installing the gapps to avoid bootloops that might occure...
Hi Prowler665
Thank you for your quick response.
I have installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 and it is working fine now.
As I cannot see the tablet from my computer (win7), I have adb push the Ganbarou rom to /sdcard/gan/
Then, I have tried to install it but I'm getting the error:
set_perm: some changes failed
Then, I have tried with the cm-10.1-20130116-UNOFFICIAL-p4.zip rom
but I'm getting the following error:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "p4" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "p4"
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/cm/cm-10.1-20130116-UNOFFICIAL-p4.zip'
I have been wiping to factory and the system partition before every installation.
I'm trying to install any custom rom just to make the tablet to work, and then to install the stock rom.
If I can provide you with more info, please let me know.
Thanks!!
UPDATE: Solved the assert issue removing the first line in cm-10.1-20130116-UNOFFICIAL-p4\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script, but now I'm getting the same set_perm error.
I have checked the MD5 checksum value of the rom and is wrong, so I am downloading it again.

The errormessage regarding the Ganbarou-ROM is a complaint about setting permission which could be about anything... Using TWRP you could try advanced/fix permissions
The error on the CM is a complaint about your tab not being a model p4 (7500/7501)... I had this kind of error when using an outdated version of CWM. Since I never tried CM I'm not sure if it depends on CWM for installation. Anyway you can find the latest version of CWM here.
But since you wanna go stock anyway...
I was using odin v1.85 and P7500XXLQ8_P7500OXALQ8_P7500XXLQ8_HOME.tar.md5.
- Using TWRP goto wipe/advanced wipe and wipe all but internal storage and power off.
- On your pc run Odin as Administrator, tick on PDA, and choose the firmware file
- While the tablet is still off, plug in the USB cable on the tablet. Don't connect to the PC yet.
- Boot your tab into download-mode and connect it to the pc.
- As soon as odin finds the tab click START in Odin and wait for it to finish. The tablet will reboot when done.
...at least for me this was working fine...
Thank you for your help, Prowler665.
I have managed to install the CM rom, but the issue is still the same as with the stock rom: the tab is stuck at the CM logo. I have left it for more than one hour, wiped data/factory reset, rebooted a few times... but no luck.
Now I'm downloading the P7500XXLQ8_P7500OXALQ8_P7500XXLQ8_HOME.tar.md5 rom and will try to flash it with Odin as admin, as I've never tried this way.
I'll let you know.
Thanks again!

Hi Prowler665,
Yesterday I followed your instructions and flashed this stock rom with Odin 1.85 as admin, but the result is the same: stuck at the SAMSUNG flashing logo.
Is there anything else I can delete (like the whole 'internal sdcard') before flasing or to post any kind of report or log (with TWRP or adb) that could help?
I have access to the root directory with TWRP or adb shell. Is there something which is not flashed with the rom that I can check?
I have flashed many devices from routers to phones, so I'm not new doing this. I feel that the tablet is not dead, but there is something I'm missing...
Hmm, maybe adb logcat or adb bugreport can shed some light on this strange behaviour...
Wiping the internal storage should not make any difference but you can surely give it a try since there is nothing to lose anyway... If there are any files you want to keep you can get them with adb pull <remote> [<local>].
One more thing that might help is reflashing the bootloader as, at least for using CM on the p4, the UK ICS bootloader is advised - but this is purely a guess...
You can find the reference here and the files here.

To get a log of the boot-process...
- Turn off your tab and connect it to your pc.
- On your pc start adb logcat > boot.txt
- Start up your tab.
- When done hit ctrl+c on your pc to exit adb.
The same should work for adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt
USB-debuging has to be enabled thou.

Hi,
I have a SGS2, I was trying to get rooted but it didn't seem to work. I flashed the rooted kernel and during the process it said that /sdcard couldn't be mounted. I rebooted and some root functionality seemed to be possible. Rom Manager would start and clockwork manager was generating lots of SU prompts. When I restarted the phone again though, all this was gone and I was getting "SU binary not found".
I tried flashing the kernel again but no change. Seemed that something had messed up in the rooting procedure and after a bunch of googling I couldn't figure out what.
So I booked into CWM and after reading instructions here for doing a full wipe, I did a factory reset, system wipe, cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe.
I'm now a bit stuck and feel a bit stupid for not thinking ahead. What do I need to flash (in Odin I guess?) to get my phone running again.
Eventually I want to run the CM9 nightlies via RomManager, but how I get from my current wiped state to being rooted on any rom and then able to run rommanger I don't know.
At the moment my phone just boots to the SGS logo + yellow triangle.
Any help really appreciated. Thanks
Hi, can you identify your phone to be an i9100 or i9100G?
If your phone can boot into recovery, get the correct version here for i9100 or i9100G. Use adb to push the flashable zip into your sdcard, then install it from there.
If cannot enter recovery, try boot into download mode, flash CF-Root with ODIN, you should be able to get into recovery after that. Follow the instruction above to get CM9.

Thanks for helping me - much appreciated
I'm pretty sure my phone is a i9100.
I could get into recovery mode, (CWM v5.0.2.7) but when the phone was plugged into my computer via usb, I got the message that the device had malfunctioned so I flashed CF-Root (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5) again. I've still got the same issue.
I've never used adb to transfer files, but I tried something called Quick ADB Pusher - but it doesn't recognise my device (presumably because the reported malfunction means I'm not connected). Assuming this is my own oversight, is there a good idiot-proof guide to using ADB to get the CM9 onto the phone for installation via CWM.
Thanks
Since you're not confident with adb, I would suggest flash Siyah kernel 4.1.5 tar version with ODIN. It is the latest supported version for ICS. The CWM recovery that comes with it support USB storage mount, with this you can simply boot into recovery, mount USB storage, and then transfer the cm9 flashable zip file with your computer.

Thank-you so much - this worked perfectly for me
Just in case anyone is reading this and knows even less than me - this is exactly what I did:
1. Downloaded Siyah kernel
2. Flashed using Odin (reboot in download mode, select the siyah tar file in the "pda" box of Odin and press start.
3. Reboot phone into recovery mode, did factory data wipe as instructed on siyah install page.
4. In recovery mode selected mount/storage options, then mount usb storage - then plugged phone into laptop.
5. After driver installed, the phone appeared in "my computer"
6. I deleted everything and dragged CM-10 rom zip file and google apps zip file (available from CM10 thread) onto phone.
7. Exited usb mode on phone and then used the install from zip on internal SD card to install first CM10 rom, then gapps.
8. Rebooted.
All done Thanks again.
Hello.
I have a GT-i9305 andI tried the rooting by following the instructions at http://galaxys3root.com/ on my Ubuntu laptop with heimdall.
I managed to install the recovery and also flash the cwm zip. I saw som problems related to /cache/ so I wiped cache and after that I have not been able to get past boot logo. I hav ealso tried flashing a custom rom and doing a factory reset and wipe dalvik cache bu
t it did not help. I have tried Odin and flashing from a .tar.md5 file but it results in FAIL.
I can reach both download mode and recovery but that is all.
Please help, I need my phone.
did you use a i9300 method on your i9305? you've probably killed the phone.
flash a stock ROM via Odin (i9305 one) and factory reset from recovery. if that doesn't help - send it to Samsung.
And this is the i9300 section, you're in the wrong place
Thanks.
I got back to stock. I will try to use the i9305 method.
Mount /sdcard not possible
Wel, I have the same problem.
Samsung SIII International version. After installing a new rom (believe it was "jellybam-v6.1.0_i9300-STABLE.zip") but I am not sure, the phone boots only to the original logo and then the screen goes black. Nothing more.
I can get into recovery mode and download mode so I tried several recovery versions (CWM, TEAMWIN, latest ClockworModRecovery v 6.0.2.8.) and several ROM.
No mater what I install, I get the same results. Boot phone and it hangs after the standard Samsung logo.
I was able to find out "/sdcard" could not be mounted. All the recovery programs I used with the option "mount unmount" reporting the same "/sdcard could not be mount" error.
Formatting /sdcard all so won't work.
I am thinking installing a new kernel but I have some difficulties in finding witch one will work with my phone?
Any suggestions or help is really appreciated b/c I have no idea what to do next.
Samsung I9300
Win 7
Latest USB drivers from Samsung installed
No Kies installed.
Odin3_v3.07 installed.
Using Odin I flashed:
CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar
recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.2.8-GTI9300.tar
recovery-stock-dlj4-GTI9300.tar
recovery-stock-blg9-GTI9300.tar
And a few more.
Due to being unable to acces the phone installing a zip file is not possible. Using "installing a rom from zip, or sdcard" from recovery is not possible.
I tried installing a file using sideload but was not succesfull. I can get the phone in receiving a file from sideload but was unable to send a file from the PC.
Thanx in advance
you have to do a factory reset after flashing a new rom
Did wipe/clear/factory set etc every time just to find the phone goes black after the Samsung logo.
One particular thing: I can see the /sdcard in some recovery programs but can't modify it.
How can I transfer a zip file using Sideload?
I can get into "download a file using Sideload" on my phone but what should I do to get a zip file transferred. Maybe then I can use "install from zip" from a recovery.
Update Problem solved (for me) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162908
I flashed the 9305 firmware from here http://www.samfirmware.com/ in Odin then I was back to stock.
Then I rooted the phone by this instruction.

I have not tried a custom rom but I think it should work.
Hello,
I searched in many threads as I could and although I learned that mediatek phones were virtually "unbrikable", I'm afraid it keeps getting worse and won't do more without your expertise.
So a few days ago I was wiping my phone to install another rom and besides wiping data and cache, I also made the huge mistake of wiping SYSTEM... My phone now just boots into recovery and nothing else.
I have an Efox Smart e4, equals to no.1 s6 and hdc galaxy s4 according to other posts here. MTK 6589, 1gb internal, 1,84gb internal sd.
The first custom rom that i installed was Essefour no.1 s6 by iceman and also the touch recovery. The rom performed great but I wanted to solve the issue that the phone kept switching between sd external and internal randomly. Also, I wanted to merge the internal memory with the internal sd so I was gonna try another rom. With this problem, was even trying the stock rom but to no avail.
When I try to install the Smart e4 factory rom for cwm and I get status 7.
E:Resource type (image) failed to load
Installing /sdcard/SMART-E4_V1.0_V01_2013-10-29_CWM.zip
Checking for MD5 file
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
... Writing boot...
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot")
Error in /sdcard/SMART-E4_V1.0_V01_2013-10-29_CWM.zip
(Status 7)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Other roms it just fails.
Right now, my computer windows 8.1 x64 can't identify correctly my phone, only access the sd. So can't do any adb push. In download mode it identifies as lenovo composite interface?? and cdc serial, the last I can't install. In other modes, I get gt-9500 but with the yellow triangle.
I would really really appreciate any help, thanks!
Might try to just edit the updater-script and remove the asserts.
Reference this for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522762
But I think your issue is that since you wiped the system, there's no /tmp folder to store the boot.img. However, if the last rom and this rom can use the same kernel (boot.img) then removing the assert for the boot.img install might do it since wiping the system does not affect the kernel.
What happened to the other rom you know is working somewhat? Can you just reflash that?
Otherwise, you'll just have to find the official way to flash with the scatter file and all that.
I searched for that updater and there are no lines for assert on the stock rom. Also inside the main zip, there are zips for system, boot, recovery and logo...
I'm trying to install the stock rom to play it safe since it was the same that came with the phone. The previous rom I talked about, I deleted it and now the phone isn't recognized on the computer..
Since I don't know if they have the same kernels, is it safe to try and reinstall the custom rom?
As of using scatter and such, maybe I need other pc to get the drivers running again.
Will let you know
I got it!!
The zip from the stock rom wouldn't let me install the kernel (boot). Managed to install only the rom, and as you said the kernel wasn't the same.
Eventually I reinstalled the custom rom and afterwards flashed a completely different rom via spflash tools since it connected successfully to my computer this time.
As I'm already restoring apps and data, I think everything is working properly.
Once more, thank you very much
Hello everbody!
At first, my English isn't very well, so sorry for that.
My Problem:
I wanted to install CM 11 on my Ace I (GT-S5830i), but this extremly failed. To keep it short, i haven't any OS on my device now, but I can enter the CWM (version 6.0.1.2)
What I have done:
Install CWM
wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition (but in the Stock recovery)
format /system (in CWM)
Now I get the error message:
E: can't mount Cache/recovery/log
I tried to install CM 11 (for the Ace I (GT-S5830i) for sure)
Install zip from sdcard
but I get these Messages:
Opening update package...

This package is for "cooperve.GT-S5830i, gt-5830i devices; this is a "".
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-11...

I was so silly and didn't make a backup.
When I try to start the device, only the gt-5830i-Logo appears, of course, ther is no OS installed.
So what can I do? Is there any chance to install an OS?
I also tried to install the Stock Firmware with Odin; result failed.
Thanks!
Edit:
Odin works, now I have the Stock Firmware, but I can't flash CM 11;

This error is not serious, it just means, that it cannot create log files, because of the missing cache partition.
I also got this error when using the "on-the-fly" CWM.
If you install a ROM (which has a kernel), then CWM gets installed to the recovery/kernel partition, then you have a "rock stable" CWM.
Hopefully without errors. But for now, you can just ignore this error.

On some devices the device info in the properties is empty, and therefore the updater-script thinks, the device is not supported.
If you know exactly that your device is supported, you can delete the first lines of the updater-script.
Steps
Open the *.zip with WinRAR or similar
Go to META-INF\com\google\android
Extract the updater-script (Drag & Drop), don't close WinRAR
Open the updater-script with your favorite text editor (i.e. notepad++)
Delete the first lines containing "assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "your_device" || getprop(...) == "...");"
This line can be on multiple lines, so be sure to delete the complete "assert" statement
Drag & Drop the modified updater-script into WinRAR (same folder as before)
Optionally sign the *.zip
Install it with CWM
Be sure what you are doing (at your own risk)
If it worked, feel free to hit Thanks :victory:
Thank you for your efforts, I really appreciate it, but I solved the Problem.
As I said, now I have the Sotck Firmware (thanks Odin ^^).
I flashed CWM again with Odin, and tada, I could install CM 11, without any Problems.

Yeah, flashing the CWM with Odin is another great solution.
Then you have a working CWM out of the box, and the device properties are setted correctly.

Hi I have tried to flash CM 12.1 to my S3 mini, so i downloaded ROM, did backup (but it went wrong, i think it didnt fully back up) and wipe cache, data and davik. After that i wanted to flash my ROM, but error appeared, that Installation aborted. So I tried to restore backup but it said "MD5 mismatch" and if I try to reboot It goes to recovery mode everytime. I read that flashing rom can be aborted because of old CMW ( I have v6.0.2.7 ) and if you get the newest, installation is ok, but what can I do? I cannot go to normal boot to Android and if I connect my phone to PC it reacts, but as unknown device and I cant open storage of my phone, so I cant update CMW recovery to flash my ROM.
EDIT: Now i get into ADB and sideload, everything going well but when I tried to install rom it said * failed to write data 'protocol fault (couldn't read status): Invalid argument' *
*Bump* i have the same problem..... not getting any where with this can some one help me out ....
SOLVED! I flashed stock official samsung ROM throught ODIN and after I used TWRP recovery instead of CWM and flashed CM 12.1 .
Hello, I desperately need help updating my Samsung S3 Mini GT-i8190 - I have followed all the steps, the phone is rooted, I have CWM installed - Odin won't read my phone (have original cable) I installed Android Toolkit and still cannot install zip files:- I keep getting an error message when the files run.
