I want to install stock OS for my Samsung Galaxy Light, but the system partition has been formatted. I can boot into Team Win Recovery Project, and I've downloaded the stock image tar.md5 file. Can Team Win restore OS from a tar.md5 file? Would ODIN work when Team Win Recovery Project is installed?

Either would Work. Theoretically anyway. The for sure way is through of odin. Let me know if you have any problems.
It does require Odin

Hi, all! I'm having an issue with reformatting my girlfriend's SGH-T399. Hoping someone here can help.
Basically, her story is the phone tried to auto-update OTA and got stuck on "Upgrading apps (4/4)". Now, when rebooting, the phone is stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Light" logo screen.
The phone can boot into download mode, but can't boot into recovery (goes straight to download) which makes me think somehow the recovery partition was corrupted or some such issue. I've tried re-installing the stock firmware through Odin, but Odin always gets stuck on "Initializing", which is another problem I can't seem to find a fix for. I've also tried using Kies, but Kies always gets stuck at 0% when trying to upgrade the phone's firmware.
To be clear, I can get Odin and Kies to recognize the phone and start the formatting process, but neither progresses at all once the process actually begins. We'd be happy with getting stock firmware back, or with installing a custom rom such as LightWave, CM, anything. This is her only phone and we really need to get it up and running again. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi this happened on my device too. Pretty much the same thing except I have sgh t399n. To fix flash TWRP through Odin as you did the first time, here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934519351 and then flash any ROM. You could flash lightwave or CyanogenMod. If you had a backup use it. I downloaded someone else's backup but I can't find any backup for T-Mobile so just flash a ROM after flashing twrp.

Wait but Odin doesn't work completely or just doesn't work with TWRP. Do you have it as run as administrator. Right click the Odin file then click run as administrator and allow. If that doesn't work do you have the Samsung drivers? And last do you have windows or mac?

Odin has not worked for any package I've tried thus far. It always gets stuck on "Initializing". I am running as an administrator. As far as I know, all my samsung drivers are up to date. I'm running Windows 7 and both Windows and Odin recognize the device. I've tried this on 2 separate Win 7 pcs, so I don't believe the issue is with my setup but rather with the phone itself.

Hey, AcreaperJB. That's the first guide I tried to follow. Like I said before, Odin works fine until "Initialization" at which point no other messages appear and Odin simply hangs. I've let it sit there for over an hour and there's no change.

I bricked my galaxy player 4 by flashing sprint epic 4G touch rom on it. It was rooted and failed in Odin and now it doesn't boot at all. It just has a black screen. I'm able to enter download mode with Adam's resurrector and Windows in virtualbox. I flash back to stock and repartition and nothing. It still doesn't boot and I've tried button combos and everything and no results. Idk what to do anymore. I want to unbrick it. Please help me.
oh.I think you can't fix it by yourself.you should show it to professional repairment or warranty service.
Hmmmm.... I think you need to JIG your galaxy so download mode will work properly. Try finding a JIG for your Galaxy Player

if you can go to Download mode, its good, i thinik, you have got partition table fault, so, you should get new partition table and its should back to life.
I vote partition problem. I had the same problem with my device and was able to resurrect it. As long as you can see download mode you can still bring it back. Try flashing the PIT file for your device, if that doesn't work you might have to repartition manually.
I don't know because I heard jigs don't work with hard bricks. I've tried repartitioning with the pit for my player and it doesn't work. I know that able to enter download mode with unbrickable resurrector is a good sign. I keep flashing stock and repartion and nothing. Idon't think its partition problem. It would've worked by now.
First, What in the world possessed you to try the ROM of not only a different device, but a different manufacture? You should count your blessing you where able to get download mode.
Second now that the scolding is over, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850 if that method doesn't recover your device then your up a creek without a paddle.
I've screwed my player up to the point where a PIT file won't recover it. No matter how many times I flashed a PIT or ROM/kernel, nothing would change.
You have to manually recreate the partitions through ADB.
Well I wanted to have the galaxy s2 rom on it and the international wouldn't work due to the physical home button. So I picked a us carrier such as sprint. That was actually my last method but heimdall kept saying error: failed to receive response, so I gave up. Yea that's what I heard to manually partition.

This is a bit off topic, but if you really want a SGSII rom on your SGP, just contact a SGP dev and ask them to port it (with permission from the original dev of course ).

So I've had my Verizon S4 rooted since I got it a few weeks ago and today I decided to put a custom ROM on it.
I installed TWRP Recovery via GooManager
I installed Hyperdrive RLS2 Android 4.2.2 ROM. I booted to it, it ran fine. I rebooted my phone and now it will not turn back on. I get stuck at the Galaxy S4 screen with the unlocked padlock icon. Sometimes I can boot into TWRP recovery but then it just hangs on the "Teamwin" blue screen. How do I get out of this?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Edit: After numerous battery pulls and restarts I finally got back into recovery, flashed OUDHS recovery, wiped data, cache, reinstalling Hyperdrive RLS2 Android 4.2.2 ROM via OUDHS

To power your device all the way off plug it in and hold power until the battery logo comes up.
Then unplug it and hold power, home, and volume down to boot into download mode.

I'm in a similar situation (bricked after cm12, no recovery, have let the battery die, gathering info on what to do next).
Here's a total guess, maybe the repartitioning for the cm12 is messing up the stock rom (did you have "repartition" checked in odin?) have you tried flashing cm11 or 12 instead of stock?
Also if this doesn't work try flashing with the pit file which can be found lower down on the same post as the stock ROMs.

I couldn't get mine into recovery either. I couldn't even get proper download mode. But, I used odin3 v1.85 (I also tried kies, and re-installing that may have installed drivers that turned out to be necessary, windows spent a lot of time searching for drivers... I'm a linux guy, I don't really understand how/why windows needs to spend 10 minutes searching for the same drivers again and again - whatever), and tried flashing lots of things, assorted pit files, roms and recoveries...
Eventually I managed to install a stock rom that I got from the first post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39188127
It installed correctly, but booted into an animation bootloop.
I cannot flash cwm on to it. When I boot into recovery I get the (stock?) android 3e recovery, and a screen full of red telling me that cache does not exist. None of the four options, reboot, install update zip from sd, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, do anything.
Stuck there now.

I'm going to try to flash that, thank you for your respond... Windows can be relly slow in seraching driver, linux is a lot faster XD, yesterday i tried to flash my galaxy player from JODIN3, which is basically ODIN for LInux, the problem is, after it ends, it says SUCCESS!! but the player won't boot... Maybe the battery is dead this happens everytime I flash the pit and stock rom, ODIN says success but then it shuts, giving no life signs
This is a really strange problem even I tryed to flash everything (from kernels, to recovery, to stock roms and the bootloader which posted AdamOutler) we need to ask to an experienced dev what maybe has happend, ecause i relly have no idea

This is a really strange problem even I tryed to flash everything (from kernels, to recovery, to stock roms and the bootloader which posted AdamOutler) we need to ask to an experienced dev what maybe has happend, ecause i relly have no idea

I'll look into JODIN3, messing around with Windows is so painfull. I would skip flashing the pit, just odin the one thing. I've also found that if odin fails flashing something, everything else I try flashing afterwards will fail. The only success I've had has been with disconnecting everything, plugging the device back into the PC, the starting odin new.
I've gotten a working gingerbread ROM, from here:
http://meticulus-development.com/index.php/galaxy-player-5-0-2/galaxy-player-5-0-stock-roms/
(irritating finding the download link among all the malware bull**** and "windows support" popups, it required registering for 4shared, but a throwaway email works)
The recovery is still a native samsung android 3e, and it took me a while to figure out that the "select" key wasn't the power button, but the home softkey... That might have been true of the last one I had flashed, the one that bootlooped, maybe I could have wiped... anyway. I've got a working gingerbread GP5.0 I can give my daughter (if I can avoid the temptation of putting cwm and then cm11 on it).

Actually it didn't work DDD: whatever thank you very much for trying helping me, I think I need to change the entire device XD, but i was thinking... maybe if I install the usa rom on my INTL do you think that it may work, i've read that it works but the home button won't be recognized... dunno
I'm gonna try, as we say in italy, rotto per rotto, I will try and install

Hmmm, I think the US/Intl might not be super important, since all you really want is to get a working recovery on there. I got one of those GB roms on, then was able to flash cwm. I don't think you need to be able to use the rom, but installing it make odin able to flash cwm. Once cwm was on I installed the cm11 xip and all is good.
Good luck with yours.

I still have the same results, the player won't boot after finishing flashing... oh well, thank you very much for your help
Maybe i'll buy another one, it's a very cool device
TheRealBubba said:
I couldn't get mine into recovery either. I couldn't even get proper download mode. But, I used odin3 v1.85 (I also tried kies, and re-installing that may have installed drivers that turned out to be necessary, windows spent a lot of time searching for drivers... I'm a linux guy, I don't really understand how/why windows needs to spend 10 minutes searching for the same drivers again and again - whatever), and tried flashing lots of things, assorted pit files, roms and recoveries...
Eventually I managed to install a stock rom that I got from the first post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39188127
It installed correctly, but booted into an animation bootloop.
I cannot flash cwm on to it. When I boot into recovery I get the (stock?) android 3e recovery, and a screen full of red telling me that cache does not exist. None of the four options, reboot, install update zip from sd, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, do anything.
Stuck there now.

If the stock recovery is not working try flashing a CWM recovery for the GB ROMS.
For the Intl Player with the hardware button this one should work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414565
You need the Odin file to flash then recovery should work.
Do a cache wipe, factory data reset, and wipe the Dalvik cache.
So I just installed the 0.2.3 cm 12 beta rom on and since I was giving my galaxy light to a friend I decided to do a factory reset so when I did that the phone rebooted and now its stuck at the twrp recovery splashscreen. I've already tried rebooting and re-flashing twrp but no luck. Could it be a cache problem or something? Thanks to all in advance who reply.

Im guessing you wiped device and if you go into recovery and try to reboot system it will tell you no os installed if that is the case you can plug device into computer and still use twrp as file manager thats if you had a backup stored on desktop or drag a CM zip to device .
other method of course would be to enter download mode and use odin to flash stock firmware for your device not sure if you have t399 or the N varient lastest beening OH2/OH3 you can find that in my filehost i have stock odin zips to flash.

I used the download from this guide by ShabbyPenguin: http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-restore-your-galaxy-light-to-stock-mja.846767/
Hey guys...I did the same thing but my t399 must have lost battery charge because when I picked it back up, it was dead...I plugged in and it started flashing the Samsung screen slowly at me. It would not reboot. I did get download and twrp to show up and start to atleast work enough to flash and Odin again...I used Shabby's kernel source and it is still doing the same thing after flashing through Odin. Still stuck on Samsung screen slowly flashing and recovery shows no operating system. I'm about to put it back in a drawer but I feel it's so close that I had to ask for help. I flashed shabby work to root and recovery. I flashed twrp 2.7 and the cm12 beta rom. Then back to shabby guide to get it to recognize, it did..kind of..but still boot looped. Flashed 3 times... No changes. Can anyone help or is it time for a staircase? hA!
Oh yes .. I don't think the battery is bad.. I checked it with a meter and it reads voltage. It does get pretty hot while I'm working on it though and my pc shows its charged at 100% but the phone doesn't show that...it stays in like dead mode. Nit recognizing again. Anybody have suggestions? In recovery it also indicated it can not locate most of my files in read after I flash.. what am I doing wrong.
sgh-399n bootloop
It's taken me 2 months to cry for help. I'm not a complete noobie, but I'm completely exhausted. First of all, one morning I woke up and I thought that somehow my battery was dead. It wasn't. Eventually, I found it in a bootloop. This phone was working fine, running a "Tiger_Lilly" ROM the night before. I've tried everything using Odin, adb and fastboot (I'm not sure how to get the phone in fastboot mode and also, before using Odin, TWRP wouldn't mount/data.) I'm stumped. Would appreciate some help, thank you.
HELP...!!!

What was you using prior to it bootlooping and what rom was installed have you modifed anything else such as partions etc...
also list your method and link rom your trying. just wondering if its the lastest version for device. while in odin also make sure Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time is only selected and what version of odin are you using?
If your unable to flash any rom thru odin then there must be a major problem else where until we can narrow it down no one can assist you.
hi good morning, i actually dont know the prior version of the SW, i am using the available version on sammobile of the sw and i am trying odin to flash, ive already used odin 3.8 and 3.9 and the one that said it is configured to this phone in the thread.

3 most recent odin flashable bootloaders and modems For S5 G900T&T3 From 12/16 - 4/17
These were created from the stock roms and tested on my g900T using odin 3.11.2
So,if you want to update your bootloader and modem without having to flash the stock rom,then these are what you need.
Instructions:
Turn off your phone completely and manually boot into download mode.
Open odin 3.11.2,then plug your phone into your usb,and make sure odin sees it.
Load the bootloader into the BL tab of odin.
Load the modem into the CP tab of odin,and check the reboot
Hit start.....
The G900T will NOT work with the G900T3,If you need the G900T3 files,please download the right ones,towards the bottom of the page
As always,flashing is risky,so i am not responsible if you blow up your device..

This is driving me nuts...I'm following the instructions. Odin is recognizing modem and my phone...but when I hit "start" it's giving me a "fail" message immediately after "now writing...please wait about 2 minutes" I've tried 3 USB ports and 3 cords. I have a 5.1.1 modem and can't flash to 7.x unless I update my modem to MM. I have no idea what to do.

For some reason or another, Norton is kicking 3.11.2 off my computer...but I've even tried a newer version...3.12.3...still didn't work. I always do a battery pull before flashing and (according to Windows) my USB drivers are current. I thought about flashing a stock rom but that requires Odin and if I can't flash a modem, I certainly can't flash a ROM. Geez...the phone gods hate me!

I've let this sit for a few days and am pretty much out of options. I've used every port on my Windows10 desktop and wife's Windows 8.1 laptop...multiple Samsung cords (including the original one), multiple Odin versions, every posted modem. Windows says my drivers are up to date and Odin recognizes my phone every time. The only thing I can think of is that somehow my phone has developed a glitch..doesn't seem logical because it is working fine...but who knows. Have even tried to flash with Norton disabled, bluetooth disabled..and who knows what else. Not even thinking of trying to flash back to stock since I can't even flash a modem. But what about bootloaders? Have not tried to flash the comparable bootloader because I don't see how that effects the modem..but what do you think?

FOG6...same as the modem...came with the phone...supports 5.1.1. Haven't tried to flash the comparable bootloader yet because: 1. I never thought about it and 2. I figured if Odin didn't let me flash a modem, probably wouldn't let me flash a bootloader either.
