Help with flashing rom. Nothing working for me. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay I have read many many threads. I have been searching for days and reading to the poi the where I'm about to just give up and smash my phone. I have a rooted note 3. Sm9005. Last week I tried using the freedom app with market enabler to mod the play store for free purchases, etc. Well I don't think I did it right because my play store stopped working group and kept force closing. I factory reset and tried to reinstall an updated play store but it still will not work. I tried Dow loading clockwork mod and flash the stock firmware. No luck. I tried to flash darthstalker rom. No luck. My phone will not connect to my pc even when USB debugging on. So I have to flash without a computer. I tried reinstalling samsung drivers but that doesnt work. I need someone with knowledge and patience. Please help somebody. I've looked and tried everything. I don't want to brick my phone.

Did it go to download mode? Odin detect it?

Well there's Odin

Market Stuck @ "Downloading..."

Hi All,
I have a Tablet S running honeycomb 3.2.1 update, stock rom. I've associated my google account and while some apps will install/update via google play - many will not. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to root/whatever like I normally would with a device I own myself (this is a work unit).
I've tried clearing market/download data/cache many times, reboot many times. Even gave up for a week and came back to it - same deal.
Can anyone shed some light on why this thing is being so difficult??!!?
FYI ICS update not avail for me yet.
Did you login to google talk? if not try logging and retry
I had the same issue. Had to wait for the market to to updated for it to start working again.
Market is currently on latest version, no good. I can uninstall updates back to "android market" but that doesn't work either.
Google talk is all signed in and fine - that's not the problem as I can download *some* apps. If signin weren't working nothing would d/l.

So you are not able to root this tablet because your boss have given you a device to work with or was it a gift and now you can keep the tab ?.
If som i should not wait any longer to root this tab, and install the inverted app from condi's AiO tool, this will reïnstall the play app, and probaly also the bug,
Even if its a work device, you could simply follow all the steps with rescue-backdoor etc in HC and then automaticly download ICS (UK) version,
Once you downloaded the ICS update you could simply get the unrooted version again by installing without following the steps for prerooting the signed zip.
on a later point, everyone will get ICS on their tabs, so no-one will notice right,?
Maby this info doesn't helped you out att all, but i think this is quite handy
Succes!,
Its been supplied to us by sony to promote stuff in store. Its still the property of sony ... So I'm not going to mess with rooting
Still haven't found a solution to the market, but I don't need it as much now. Was trying to get some wmv files working in something other than stock video player and market was being a pain not downloading things. Ended up getting mxplayer installed and just gave up on market and transcoded all the movie files. Not the best solution, but it works.

If it belongs to Sony, why don't you let Sony fix it?

Allright that says enough xD but then like Cat McGowan said, if you work at such a company why wouldn't you send it back by your self?. from what i understand you are working at a company thats regonized as a sony dealer am i right?, because your problem is a system thing, nothing that you can do about it, ( On a normal way )
It's surely just a software thing though, seems pointless sending it back for that. I did get my other video issue sorted so I don't really *need* market any more, and it got announced today that we should get ICS tomorrow (short notice, huh?!).
M.
Yép that will probaly fix your problem and after you installed ICS try to do a factory reset this is recommend so your old settings are clean again. Cache etc.
Good luck.!
Hi guys.
I had similar problem after updating from gingerbread to ice. After trying all tweaks nothing worked. Flashed again and nothing happened
However, disabling download from unknown source solved the problem.
My advice would be that when flashing a new rom without using external ed card, remove it before flashing. After flashing, disable download from unknown source. Try going to google play and update or download something. Once it worked, restart your phone and you can enable download from unknown source back.
I tried this twice and saw that it worked perfectly.

[Q] The horror they call Kies (Connecting Problem)

Hi,
I'm totally losing my mind because of Kies.
First of all, i've had problems using Kies with my Galaxy S3 since the beginning.
Every time i wanted to use Kies (To back-up Messages en Contacts primarly) i had problems.
After trying a few things i usually got it to work just long enough to get those back-ups.
Yesterday i Back-upped again before flashing and wiping. Again for some reason i got it to work.
However today when i need that Back-up i can't get ANYTHING to work.
I've uninstalled, re-installed everything i could think about.
I used CCleaner to remove RegistryKeys
I tried changing COMports
I plugged it in to every single USB port on my PC
I've been searching Google and XDA for 3 hours, and trying all different options.
But so far none of them worked...
I really have no idea why it sometimes works and sometimes don't
Is there anyone who has any idea how to fix this?
I'm using W8 Pro
And is there any good alternative for after i got this to work? So i won't ever have to use Kies again.

google syncs your contacts on your phone! use sms backup & restore for all your messages

when you say flashing & wiping do you mean a custom rom? because kies won't work with anything but stock roms

And follow JJE's advice!
Hi,
Thanks for your response,
I've flashed a Stock Samsung (MC2) and flashed a few other things.
I've checked my RomCleaner file, and i noticed i deleted the # before Kies.apk
So that's the problem!
Is there anyone that can upload Kies.apk for me? Googling hasn't done me any good.
Or is there any way to extract it from the firmware?
Or is there any good contacts manager that i can use on my PC.
I have all my contacts back on my phone now, but there's a lot of information missing.
And i'd like to add that on my PC cause it's so much quicker!
And what about a good Music manager that can sync with my phone?
Greetings
Flash the rom again .
Or try Perkas File Stash .

Freeze on start-up after installing a app.

Hi, I apologise if I posted this in the wrong section I wern't sure,
My Galaxy S Wifi 5.0 keeps freezing on start-up, It was working fine until I installed a app called, Go Launcher, once it installed, it was working fine until my device restarted after that, it just freezes after like 1 minute as soon as it comes on, I barely have enough time to put in the start code to unlock the device..
I can't remember what firmware it has, It was a custom one I think of this forum, all I know after I put it on it put a picture of a black tree on the main screen, not sure if that helps sorry..
It is rooted too.
I'm looking for some advice on what I can do to fix this.. I don't want to completly format I have some pictures I kind of don't want to lose.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Try uninstalling it via the Google Play store, and then download another Launcher.

Thanks for replying, but I just fixed it, I managed to get into recovery mode and do a wipe data from there, it didn't delete none of my pictures but everything else and fixed my problem.

i have no idea what to tell you but if it come down to it you might have to flash a rom on your phone using lg support tool.. but before you do anything make sure your usb debugging is on your phone might be done like mine :crying:

Play Store is part of google apps
you delete all google apps , and you remove play store
so... btw why you want to remove GAPPS
people that wipe they phones and install custom ROMS , they install GAPPS afterwards
bloatware like metro own crap and tmobile are fine to remove
but why you want to erase the google apps
????
Just wondering what you want to do
How can you use you Google android phone when you uninstalled Google apps. Your gmail login is used for YouTube too and guess what....you removed your ability to log into your phone.

Strange problem with my Galaxy S4 Verizon SCH-1545 of no sound, video or app work

I've Galaxy S4 Verizon - SCH1545 with 5.0.1 Lollipop and Baseband 1545VRUGOF1. Bought a month ago, it worked fine for 15 days but then sound went off. Also I was unable to play any video nor any application is working. Getting error of Unfortunately UI has stopped and(App) is not responding. Upon trying below steps, sound comes sometime and app works fine then but it doesn't stay long when again starts same behavior. I get it when start phone and it doesn't play the sound when shows Samsung logo.
1. Cleared the cache of Play Store, Google Framework and Google Play Services
2. Wiped cache partition and Factory Reseted
3. Rooted the device
4. Unable to install TWRP or CWM
5. Odin gives Nand write error
6. If phone stuck with "Use Verizon Software Repair Assistant...", able to bring it back by CF Auto JFLTEXX-GTI9505.tar.md5. Although Odin gives error but after error, I disconnect the USB cable and phone starts
7. Tried Verizon Software Repair Assistant and Samsung Kies to update the firmware but same issue
8. Can't find GooManager in Play Store. Installed by APK but GooManager doesn't find any list or unable to find Script (to install TWRP)
9. Rooted the phone. Confirmed by Root Checker but Flash Fire shows "are you rooted?"
will be very thankful for anyone who has idea or had same problem.
As far as I understand custom recoveries are only available for MDK. Your best bet is to odin your current build and start there.

I don't mind any rom or whatever settings are. Just want to solve sound and other issues I'm facing.
I tried Samsung Kies and Verizon Software Repair Assistant to reload the firmware but still the same issue of sound goes off, youtube, apps and videos don't play.
I know its not hardware problem because this all gets ok sometimes after maybe reset, wipe cache, clear play store/services storage or factory reset... then goes off again after some time.
thanks for the reply
noticed one more thing. If I keep it off for few hours, the sound come back. And again goes off after some time.
