[Q] Bricked I527 - Samsung Galaxy Mega

I'm about to give up, finally.
Okay so far I've: re-flashed with AT&T MK2 firmware...
I cannot: find a .pit file the phone will accept.
I cannot yet: establish a jtag connection and I know I'm wiring in right...
The MK2 Firmware flashes with Odin, no problem. This states on the download screen it shows:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I527
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 3
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
With the MK2 flash, it shows no errors unless I add the .PIT file I've found here for the I527.
When that's added with "Repartition" checked, it states SECURE CHECK FAIL: PIT
Either way, it accepts the firmware then reboots, as expected with "Recovery Booting" but it hangs there, then either sticks there or begins to boot loop.
Any ideas? Download is always accessible. I've never had a Samsung that was accessible in Download mode but unable to be successfully flashed.

Well not really sure but on that pit file it sounds like it is not signed..a knox thing..but while you have the rom installed do a factory reset and clear the dalvik cache and see if that will help.

That's an excellent idea.... If only I could get into recovery. It won't go into it....
I could go ahead and clean it out now, I have my own .PIT extracted from the device BUT I'm missing a lot of the partitions I'd need to accomplish this. ie everything not included in the Odin Flashable .tar.md5 file for MK2 here....
I do appreciate the suggestion though.

No problem..i did not realize you could not get into the recovery..

Just throwing this out there but imagine you probably already tried. Have you tried updating through kies while in download mode.

Any help is appreciated. KIES won't connect to the device either.
I can flash any firmware I want in Odin but it just won't boot.
I tried using a debrick.img and writting it to the SD card with W32DiskImager but with the SD card in when I turn on the phone it just goes to the same screen as the pic above in recovery mode.

Hi..since you have the i527m mega (Canadian version) by what your pic shows above by flashing this rom ROOT_JDQ39.I527MVLUBNA3.tar by @krazykipa it should get you up and running again and the rom is rooted already, this is the rom i use when this happens to me, just unpack it first to get the .tar file and then flash with odin..and i believe this is a rogers rom which will still work..just remove any rogers stuff if you do not have the same carrier...at least you should be up and running again. :good:

Thanks starmaster10, it's d/l now, I appreciate the help. I'll try flashing it and report how it went

Just a bootloop, give this a go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
You will lose all data although, nothing on external sd card will be lost.
Also, how did you flash the ROM? If you followed the guide step-by-step, you shouldn't have ended up in a bootloop.
I wiped all partitions and then flashed the zip file.
Is it with a bootloop that you even can't get in to recovery? I'm stuck on samsung logo, not on RR logo

Ok, well give the thread I linked above a go. You can download stock ROM's from sammobile.com, and flash through Odin. Do you know how to use Odin?

Ah I'm stupid! You need to get into recovery for that thread! You're definitely holding the correct buttons when the phone is fully off (home + power + volume up)?
I think I will give it a go. But the threat says that you should do it from your recovery, or if you are not comfortable with the recovery way you should do it via odin. I can't get in recovery, so maybe I have an other problem..
I'm honestly a little scared of odin.
once I had to do something with odin, but that failed. so I could not get out download mode..

This is taken straight from my rooting guide. It will help you correctly set up Odin:
First off, you need Odin, which is a flashing tool specifically designed for the SGS2: Just type in "Odin 1.85" without quotations into Google and the first result should display "Odin - xdadevelopers - XDA Developers." Click on the link and Odin will download.
Now before going ahead with Odin, download Kies: http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/ ,which is like iTunes for Samsung Devices, the drivers are needed for Odin, but when the drivers have been installed, close Kies, right click on your toolbar at the bottom of your desktop, I'll assume your running Windows 7, and go into Task Manager. Now find anything with Kies running in the Task Manager, right click on them and kill them.
Once you have done this, go to "sammobile.com", sign up and download a stock ROM for the GT-I9100. I'll assume you have the international SGS2, just remove your battery and make sure it isn't the GT-I9100G. Then flash via Odin by connecting your phone, making sure Odin is configured like above, and then putting your phone in download mode, connecting it to your PC and put the file you downloaded in the PDA section and flash.

Yes, if you can't get into Recovery Mode, a new flash is your only saviour. When you have flashed the ROM and hopefully everything went well, you can root your ROM by using Chainfire's CF-Root. Then you could restore a backup.
I have also a zip-file of my previous rom on my sd-card. That was codename lungo. Can I flash that zip so i don't neet to re-root lik you said?

Do you know what it is/does? Also, the guide I took that segment on setting up Odin was actually written for rooting your ROM with CF-Root.
Oh, its a ROM. My bad! Well, I'm not too sure. I think if you have a backup of it, that would be safer. Rooting is real easy anyway.
Is Codename Lungo not a HTC Sensation ROM?
Oke thank you.
I will download the stock firmware from sammobile, and try to flash it with Odin. I just want it to work again (root or no root) and not have to buy a new phone

Don't thank me till it's working! Once new ROM flashed and booted, let me know.
By the way, don't use the .PIT file if one is included in the download, if you get PDA, PHONE and CSC, put in appropriate sections of Odin and flash, if just one file, put in PDA section and flash.

[Q] SOFT BRICK - Reset custom binary counter

Hello!
I soft bricked my Samsung Galaxy s3 GT-I9300
I don't know how...
I tried flashing cutom roms, stock roms and kernels...nothing works
ODIN says: NAND write start!! Then it fails everytime.
So i'm looking forward to send it back to the service centre as it is supposedly still on warranty. To benefit from the warranty, the custom binary download should be "No".
My phone can still go into download mode, recovery mode is inaccessible.
In download mode it sayS:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (5 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
Is there any way I can reset the custom binary download to "No" ?
PS: According to some videos on YouTube, USB jigs only get the phone in download mode, it does NOT reset the custom binary download counter.
Please help me, thank you.

My intel i7 has all kinds of usb sockets on it.
I don't even need a motherboard.
CPU is the processor. Computer, pc, these are what have ports. Your phone has a cpu also, is that what you mean?
It is a small point but at the same time big and important as I know many here are translating to get information.
To the OP:
1) Download the CF root for your device. Place it in the PDA section of odin and flash. Read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
2) Enter recovery (volume up + home + power) and wipe things
3) Download and install a CWM compatable .zip rom, I can recommend wanam's roms http://wanamlite.com/category/devices/rom-galaxy-s3/ But I would not start with a leak!
4) When and if you get running update your recovery!
Have been in your situation. I have even lost recovery, old tv style look when I go there. It may be recoverable.
Most custom roms flash through recovery, so if you are trying to flash with odin it will fail.
Try this and let us know how it goes. Also, make it clear how it fails, ie what file went to what program to do what.
Again, most custom roms and kernels cannot be flashed with Odin, that might be the reason you are soft bricked.
Laptop/Computer ports.
Brother, First of all completely uninstall samsung kies and samsung folders from your computer, then reinstall kies. After reinstallation is completed just close kies and start ODIN and flash your cell phone with help of download mode
I faced the same problem and this helped me out, and yes.. your device is not bricked
All the best :good:

[ROM][ODIN]SM-G900P ND2 (ND2 Modem/Kernel/Bootloader/ROM - Full Restore - Unrooted)

As always, a HUGE thanks goes to my partner in crime, @garwynn, for all the hard work he puts in on our site and all that he does for the community. He is the man!
Second, thanks to @vinman12 for posting the TAR here.
This Odin One-Click.exe contains the Stock ND2 Bootloader, Kernel, Modem and ROM for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5(SM-G900P). 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 phone to the stock ND2 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 phone'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 phone, ie on your PC or Dropbox.
2: Install Samsung USB/Android drivers (if necessary).
Samsung Drivers Download Link
3: Download the ND2 Stock ROM One-Click.
SM-G900P_ND2_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 SM-G900P_ND2_Full_Restore_UNROOTED.exe was saved upon extract from the 7Zip archive.
Double-click on SM-G900P_ND2_Full_Restore_UNROOTED.exe. *On Vista or newer, you may need to right-click on the file and select Run as Administrator.
6: Place phone in Download Mode.
- Power phone 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 phone.
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 phone should automatically reboot.
The boot process will take slightly longer than usual during which time you'll see the Sprint 4G/Spark logo screen.
Congratulations! You've flashed the Factory Restore ND2 build!

Unfortunately it doesn't. It does reset system status to official but no change to Knox.

So if this doesn't reset Knox is the phone warranty still void? Or is it good enough to use for warranty work?

I think stock rom far better versus modded roms. Feels more responsive especially for calling app which is mandatory for me and I'm sure for you too.

Thank you so much man! I wiped my phone clean of an O/S like a d*** and this helped out a lot. I know it wasn't much but I had to give you a little $ for that. Again, thank you!

Hi,
I currently have rooted S5, running MOAR with philz recovery. My phone has been running a bit wonky with quite a few problems and I think starting fresh as if I just opened the box with my shiny brand new S5 (instead of normal factory reset when flashing rom) would be the way to go. I have been searching and reading and to be honest, my head is spinning. I think this procedure is what I need to accomplish my goal :fingers-crossed: but just wanted to confirm. Appreciate any help!!

This is exactly what you need. However, I would suggest flashing TWRP and wiping internal storage before flashing. That way you are 100% brand new.

Do you mean flashing TWRP and wiping internal storage before this procedure or after but before re-rooting and flashing rom? I would love to go back to using TWRP all the time but had heard there were issues if you ever needed to do a recovery so that is why I use philz, But I guess if you are referring to before this process then I could flash philz again after re-rooting.
Thanks so much for your assistance!

I would do it before and wipe data and internal. Then immediately boot to download mode and flash the one-click. You can root and flash Philz after that.

Oakie dokie, that is what I will do. I do have one last question. When I rooted with CF Auto-Root and installed philz with Odin, you select the tar file in one of the boxes in Odin and then press start. Here it says to double click on exe, put phone in download mode and then press start in Odin. You don't need to select a file within Odin before pressing start? Hopefully not a completely dopey question.
Not a dopey question at all! The difference between this and most Odin packages is that this is in fact a One-Click Odin package. We have selected all the options and set everything up so that all you need to do is hit start and wait for the flash. No more accidentally loading something to the wrong slot or hitting the wrong button and having your device blow up in your hands. Ultimately it is the same process but simplified.

Please help, i9300 possibly bricked

Hi,
I flashes ArchiDroid last night, the rom worked fine and everything was going alright. When I woke up during the middle of the night I noticed the phone was on the samsung logo but didn't think anything of it. This morning the battery was dead and it was still stuck on the samsung logo, it won't boot to recovery but does boot to download mode.
I've just tried flashing i9300 Vodafone OFW (not my carrier, but would it make a difference?) via Odin and get the following error message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Bcoz its the best

Your nand maybe corrupt try all options if they fail then try rescue firmware here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6 << only use as a last resort and read instructions carefully.

edit: is there anyway I can save my pictures before I continue with this?
also, how do i open the other options in odin?

If stock roms are failing to flash with nand error then their is not much more options to try other than emergency firmware you could try flashing a recovery like PhilZ recovery with odin and see if it will boot into that then try to make a backup. (but I don't hold out much luck with that).
If that fails try rescue firmware in the link I provided but if that fails than it is a service repair.

If you are having problems with odin then try a different version some work better than others. >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539 << 1.85 seems to work well for me.

I717 revert to att stock from custom rom

I want to revert an ATT i717 rooted, with CWM ver.6, custom KK rom back to ATT stock rom (I did try KIES but it didn't recognize phone as I understand due to rom being custom.) I don't have a back up of the original stock rom. All download links I have come across are dead. Need help to locate working DL links.
2-Wifey has the same exact phone rooted with CWM ver. 6 with stock JB rom. I am wondering if I take a back up of that and flash it to my phone if that will be ok or if that's a chance for a brick?

You have posted in the development forum. Try Q&A.
Also if you can't find Odin file here, try to search google. You may find an active somewhere else. Other than that, you can wait. if I ever get off work I could probably scrounge up a copy to my dropbox.
Let me know if you find. Sorry, I won't have time until tomorrow afternoon . In middle of a work marathon on 2 jobs.

here's a link to stock jb:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8CfFE5fSiMQS1NuZVZmUnRNYVU/view?usp=sharing
it includes the rom, cwm recovery, supersu, odin, kernel, and modem.
odin the rom first, then the recovery.
copy supersu to the phone and install thru cwm.
you'll need to update binaries.
also included is the current cwm recovery i use to install kit kat roms.

once you get done installing and the phone booted up,
start supersu and follow the instructions.

Finally d/l at work, odined the rom and encountered "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
Phone cannot enter recov. mode nor download mode. I tried kies and 2 issues came up 1 my phone has no serial number, I entered wife's S/No. (same exact phone, both made in Korea) but the second problem is that kies wants me to turn off phone, and enter d/l mode which isn't coming up.
I tried my JIG thingy but same screen comes up.
How do I fix this?
ATTN: MOD
If need be please move thread as appropriate.

Could be, really don't know for sure. Note has this screen. Anything I attempt it's resulting in the following screen below. DL mode, hit volume up and bam, same screen. Recovery, same deal, try to boot normally = same. Even a jig gets the DL mode first screen and then bam! Is there any way to fix this or Is the phone at the point of jtag repair, or worse a brick?
