Samsung Mega SGH-I527 STUCK IN BOOTLOOP
Hi guys... How are you? This is the first time i have ever posted to a forum so I'm sorry if its a bit scattered...
okay i got a AT&T Mega SGH-I527 for free in its current state... so i don't know any of the info except what i can see which is :
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME : SGH-I527
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 <---Dose this matter if i don't care about the warranty?
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 4
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
its stuck in a bootloop, I can put it in download mode.
Now these steps kinda worked i think lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-mega/general/stock-odin-firmware-i527-4-4-2-t2835136
seam to work as far as Odin being able to access it and try to install those files i downloaded which are :
AP_I527UCUBNE7_1711751_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
BL_I527UCUBNE7_1711751_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
CP_I527UCUBNE7_1711751_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
CSC_ATT_I527ATTBNE7_1711751_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
i also tried to a PIT file not sure which one it was tho file name is:
Samsung_I527_PIT.PIT <--- this is one is 4.75kb
that just tells me " SECURE CHECK FAIL: PIT
now all theses seam to take meaning they pass according to Odin but it reboots and just goes back into the bootloop...
now when i did try theses files it did something it didn't do before it gave me a little blue tag at the top saying "RECOVERY BOOT..."
then it just loops again... I'm not really sure what my question is and I'm sorry so i guess I'm just asking if anyone can tell me whats happening? do i keep trying to work it out or should i just recycle the phone? i cant help to think that there life here tho...
I know y'all have been over this a thousands of time but it all kinda mind numbing... any kinda advice would be cool thanks...
Simple. DONT USE THE PIT FILE AND DONT WIPE THE PARTITIONS.

okay i tied all the files without the PIT and they all passed... but on each one after its completed and passed (Odin)
and restarts. It just goes to the Samsung galaxy mega screen (first one) then it vibrates twice and reboots again. NOTHING FAILS THO.
and suggestions for me ?
Flash each ODIN file one at a time. The AP file and the BL have a PIT built in, so you shouldn't have to manually parse it.
FYI I was able to obtain root on my SGH-I537 and I'm now trying to export that method to the SGH-i527, but it's proving to be difficult. Will keep yall posted!

The Mega other than Root is Dead.
No bootloader unlocked and No One is working on it.
I myself have moved to the Nexus 6.
I still have the Mega rooted only for the big screen but out of all the Mega forums.
and I will not see your reply because I'm will not subscribe to any Mega forum.
My advice, keep the mega rooted if you like but move out to other phone.
Tha it no more lov for the mega
i think the most important downgrading is DONT TICK REPARTITION.
becaus will make your phone hardbrick and doestn have power at all
and knock bootloader is never cant be downgrade
Please Update the link of the twrp recovery and knox off
My SGH i527 Galaxy Mega from ATT is bricked after trying to update to KK. I have a bootloop on Samsung Galaxy Logo. Now I don't have recovery. The only thing I can to do is to get in Download Mode.
I can't get back to JellyBean. I have tried using Odin to Flash Many recoveries but everything failed. Please, help me, I am tired of seraching and downloading ROMS and customs recoveries for nothing......
PLEASE, I just need a recovery and AnyRom that Can work ....
Thank you in advance.

Many of us on the root bounty for i527 forum are stuck because we can't find anyone with our firmware. We have exhausted every method we can think of to pull it from the phone with no success. I would like to start a bounty to anybody that can post a downloadable file of the AT&T i527 Firmware. SamMobile was not able to track it down.

Yes the root browser only really works on rooted phones but I have looked at every sub folder as well as did a adb pull from the whole phone so far nothing.
i know this is probably a really stupid question, but i'll ask anyway. Has anybody tried plugging the phone up to a computer and tried like the mass storage type thingy?

Now that there's root for the 1527 for at&t is there a way to get the firmware download now for Odin. I bricked my mega trying to achieve root and need the Odin stock firmware for the at&t Samsung galaxy mega. Any help with an answer would be appriciated. I would rather just get the firmware download and fix it myself in three minutes instead of sending it to Samsung for repair for two weeks

I would post this in the root bounty forum. Believe you need a tar.md5 file for that. They have already pulled the files, think it's just a matter of compiling it. It may be a couple of days before we start seeing things like flashable files for odin or twrp and so on.

hi guys,
I'm a complete noob to all this but i have read through the q and a section and the noob guide to rooting.
I am running 4.3 on a 19305 and attempted to flash with odin 3.09.
i first tried flashing with CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.tar
and later recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.4.7-i9305
both times ive got the pass message on odin but when i check root status with root checker it says no access.
since i tried to flash i now get what i think are Knox alerts telling me its blocking things that are trying to access root or something.
i've tried copying supersu on to my sd card and installing from there and that hasn't helped.
If i put my phone in to download mode now this is what i see,
Odin mode
Product name GT-19305
Custom Binary Download: yes (6 count)
Current Binary: custom
Knox warranty void: 1
AP SWREV: AR
Can anyone tell me what to try next
thanks guys
Best ask in the i9305 q&a section, this is for the i9300. Anything from here could brick your phone.

Man I'm a big fan and I love what you have done. You make some great roms and make upgrades easy. Thank you. Only problem I am having (I'm a noob so sorry if this is a dumb question) is everytime I have downloaded the NG6 kernel from the link you posted and run it thru Odin 3.10, I keep getting a message saying "MD5 error. Binary is Invalid". I have redownloaded using several mirrors and keep getting the same result when I run it thru odin. What am I doing wrong?

Where did I go wrong
NG6 kernel is also failing for me using several versions of Odin. I also tried changing the file extension. The NC5 kernel flashes fine though.
I downloaded and flashed the new ng6 files that was posted in hopes of getting my wifi to connect with my ip address on the Verizon carHD Tom but still no luck.
One thing did change though, my phone is a Verizon Samsung galaxy s4 model SCH-I545. But now after upgrading to NG6 from NC5 VIA gogolies modem and kernel flash, the info on my phone says I now have a gt19505. So does that mean now I can use clockworkmod recovery on my phone instead of safestrap?
My replacement phone came with NG6. Will I be able to do this?

no usually you dont need to do that
first tell me what do you exactly want to do????
i have flashed my s5 couple of times for upgrading it ..... its quite easy .... fully exit your antivirus and kies ... enable usb debugging ..... go to download mode ..... connect your phone .... (if phone driver is installed on your PC) ID com turn to blue or yellow ..... check some option (depends on what you want to do exactly) .... choose your file(s) that want to flash them ..... and .................start.
some people advice to remove external card (but i didn't do that)

Hi..try a program called kingoroot. http://www.kingoapp.com/ as it works really good to root the mega..you just install the program on your pc and connect to your mega and follow the on screen instructions and when done your phone should be rooted...but you might have to factory reset your phone in the recovery since you cannot get into the rom as you connect kingoroot when you have the phone on and in the rom.
If this does not work for you I will get you a different file to root your phone with odin.
