Messed up my galaxy quattro - Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro

I was trying to flash a custom rom but by mistake selected incompatible rom.
My phone couldn't start.
I tried restoring the firmware using odin 3.07.
The phone has started working but gives a notification "update device information" also there is a permanent popup notification on the screen.
Please help, I already tried flashing firmware with pit file....but even after three hours, the process didn't complete.

s3 cannot flash any rom even with root enabled

Hi,
I have previously tried to flash a wrong kernel into my phone and caused the imei to become null and my s3 to lose all signal.
In my desperation, i have tried all sorts of different roms in imei retrieval methods but I was not able to get anything back.
I managed to get my imei back after pas a technician to do that for me.
However, ever since, when i went to the setting > update, there was update found but when i tried to install, it brings me error msg that 'signature verification failed'.
i get the following error msg.
assert failed: getprop('ro.product.device') == 'm0' || getprop('ro.product.device') == 'm0'
E:Error in /cache/fota/update.zip
(status 7)
When i reboot, i get the error msg 'Failed to update firmware. Try again using PC software (Kies) or visit a samsung service centre'
The current firmware version that is written on Kies is I9300ZSALF1/I9300OZSALF1/I9300XXLEF/I9300ZSALF1 (XXX)
I tried kies but kies says my device does not support software upgrading via kies.
I am not able to flash any rom into the phone, i tried stock roms and i tried custom roms like CM9 and 10.
I have tried using both ODIN and CWM to flash and always end up with having a phone that hanged during the bootloading phase. i restart and it stills brick, all i could do is to reboot in CWM and restore backup
Please help me because i am currently on ICS I9300XXLEF and it is not my stock ROM and there is no way for me to update the phone rom. I would like to get my phone back to a stock ROM that is Singapore based at least i can continue to update my firmware if there are any updates.
I am giving all the information about my phone as much as I can but if there is anymore information you folks need to now to be able to help me, please let me.
All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Need to flash a stock rom via ODIN in download mode. Plenty of tuts on here for that as well as a tut to redo your imei. Do you have a backup of your efs?? Thats where your imei is stored, if you have that just go into CWM and restore backup and sorted.
Did you do a factory reset from recovery after flashing with Odin?
From what you are writing it seems you are able to flash using Odin, so I suggest finding Odin image for uour phone stock firmware, flash using Odin (vol down+home+power) then reboot to recovery (vol up+home+power) and do a factory reset, reboot and I think it will boot.
I would boot to CWM recovery Mounts and Storage Format cache system and data .
Flash stock rom via Odin .
assert failed: getprop('ro.product.device')
means wrong firmware or wrong phone or wrong build prop on phone .

Hi....first of all got you an EFS folder backup? If yes try restore EFS ( copy folder with root expplorer..i do this with s2 and got my IMEI back)
second : try an hard reset with this code *2767*3855# ( remove sim and sd card)
and try to flash a stock firmware in download mode with ODIN procedure.
Hope its helpful:good:

[Q] Is This S5830i Bricked Or Hardware Fault?

Hi,
I've been trying to flash S5830i Galaxy Ace that I got, since last few hours. Tried three versions of ODIN for this phone (4.38, 3.07, 1.85) with two different firmwares for this phone. Basically the 4.38 version never discover the device although it is clearly in download mode with download counter at 0, however the version 3.07 and version 1.85 both detects it. I'm have latest version of Kies with latest USB drivers which I have re-installed many times when trying to get it on ODIN 4.38. Anyways, version 3.07 flashes the firmware fine with all MD5 checks passed (one of the flashing screenshot shown in attachment), the phone reacts to this fine as well (shows the progress bar on phone during flashing process), reboots fine as well after flash but stuck at the following screen always which I have attached as well. At first few tries I was just flashing the firmware (the PDA), but later I even tried flashing the .PIT file thinking that the partition might be corrupted, but same problem as always.
Kindly help me with this, at least I should get a clue whether it's a software problem or the hardware problem.
Thanks in advance. :good:
EDIT: It's been stuck like shown in the attached photo since an hour or more (just left it there to see if it does any progress, looks like it's been powered by usb), without sim or sd card. It does go to recovery mode as well but gets stuck on doing any operation similar to that photo, except when formatting cache.
flash all three,

see if it works..!!

[Q] i9300 Brick phone - Uninstalling Miui to Stock Firmware

Hi,
I have a Samsung i9300 with Miui V5 up to date and I was trying to go back to stock firmware.
To do this, I downloaded a stock firmware (I9300XXUGMK7) and flashed it through ODIN. All the flashing process went without problems but when the device rebooted it was stuck at the Samsung Logo. I waited around 10 min but it was completely stuck. I tried rebooting and then again was stuck. I believe it was a problem with the flashing process so I tried it again with a new stock firmwares but I got always stuck at the logo.
The device enters both download mode and recovery mode (android 3e - stock recovery i believe, although it shows the android laying down with an exclamation point).
I already tried several stock firmware and yesterday I also tried flashing through ODIN with PIT File and Re-partioning but I always got the same issue.
Is it another way to move from miui to stock that I am not aware? Is there any solution for this problem?
Help Please.
Thanks a Lot
Pit and repartion then you may well have destroyed the partitions on the memory .
Who ever told you to use pit files and repartition should buy you a new motherboard .
Are their any error messages in odin ??

Hi JJEgan,
I used the Pit file as last option because I already tried several regular flashes through ODIN. No error messages during the flashing process in ODIN. The flashing process always goes apparently well until it reboots and stucks at Samsung logo.
Have you tried factory reset wipe data in recovery?

Galaxy Grand Duos (GT-I9082L) won't flash the ROM

Hi, my galaxy grand was rooted and had the Resurrection Remix custom ROM, but now I want to reset my binary counter, unroot and flash the stock ROM. I started by downloading the .tar.md5 file (stock ROM), then I loaded it in Odin v3.09 as the AP (which is the PDA option but changed its name I think) and flashed, but it says fail at the beginning and now I only see "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I already installed Kies and tried this, but after a really long time when the progress bar reached 70%, it said Dll load fail and this was the second time I do it through Kies, but no avail and yes, I'm pretty sure that I have the ADB drivers installed. I flashed CWM touch recovery and it works good, so now I can enter Download mode and CWM mode (or whatever it's called) only. I want to flash back to the Stock ROM which I already have, but can't figure it how to solve this issue.
Thank you.
I really need help with this..

EDIT: Request close. I solved it. Apparently, it was my bad, I downloaded the firmware of GT-I9082 while my phone is GT-I9082L (though I bought it here from Egypt not Latin America).

Bricked phone, Odin can't load the system.img

Hello.
I tried to flash stock XEO ROM to my S3, but while the whole process it stuck on loading system.img. Then when i tried to turn on the phone it shows me the yellow triangle and info that i can recover the system with Kies. But it also didn't work. I tried to flash other stock roms but it always is stuck in booting system.img
FIX:
I downloaded different roms and different ver. of android
Tried to flash several times with pit file and without but it was still stuck at system.img
I tried different ports and the result was the same
I changed the cable and reinstalled drivers and I succeed to flash 4.0.4 ver without pit file with odin 3.07
Have you tried flashing stock rom via ODIN?
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about I tried several times and it still doesn't work :crying:

Did you try install stock firmware with PIT file?
If you have 16 GB version of GT-I9300, you can try this PIT file (I tested on my device).
Odin 3.07 with PIT file;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2762337&d=1401023420
Download a stock ROM from sammobile, then put it to PDA. Before start flashing, press PIT button on Odin and select the PIT file, then press Start.
I decided to send my phone to service, when will it come back still bricked I will try it
Ok, I will get my phone back UNFIXED because they told me at the service that i have to pay for changing the firmware because my phone comes from other country.. I disagreed and told them to send my phone back.
I had an idea how to fix my phone and also some questions about that.
First, is there any way to full wipe my phone without recovery, I mean that i can;t access recovery on my bricked phone and i think that causes the problem with flashing any rom with odin (that the brokem rom i still installed and odin can' flash the new one over it). When I'll wipe the phone completely i suppose it might solve the problem. But does wiping the phone makes the phone unrecognizable for PC?
The second idea is kinda connected with the first one. I thought about flashing cf root with odin into my phone and as far as i know, it has its own recovery so i can easily wipe the phone with it and then flash the stock rom.
I know that my reply looks kinda messy but I hope you know what i mean.

Bump, need an answer to this.
up
Ok my phone is finally alive :cyclops: Here's the solution i figured out:
I downloaded different roms and different ver. of android
Tried to flash several times with pit file and without but it was still stuck at system.img
I tried different ports and the result was the same
I changed the cable and reinstalled drivers and I succeed to flash 4.0.4 ver without pit file with odin 3.07
I will add it to the first post for those who have the same problem, cheers :good:
