Hi guys.
My phone is Samsung note 3 n9005 twrp recovery lollipop android 5.0
Im newbie superuser i already root my device
and i tried to install xposed framework but not working.
This made me decide to go recovery mode
and i wiped whole system, caches, data, dalvik cache, and other options.
1--Via odion and flashing file to my phone?
What files i needs for this!
2-- via downloading files to my external sd card
and flash them directily? What files i need for this?
Please help guys the phone was gift from my bro.
Btw i have macbook to use not windows, but not a problem i can borrow Windows
@Alrubaie, both method would work. You can install a firmware for your device using Odin. This would bring it back to life. And also, you can download a custom ROM (from development section here) and install that using TWRP, this will also do the trick. Though, you must be able to transfer files from PC to phone from recovery mode -- do enable MTP in Mount menu of TWRP for this.

Hi,
I was searching the whole Forum for a working Link to Download a Stock Image for the Viewsonic Viewpad 7 EU(German).
It would be great if someone knows where to Download or can provide it on a Hoster.
Big Thanks

This is the EU firmware, verison 3_420 that I originally downloaded from Viewsonic's Euro website as linked in the post - it is in *.nb0 format.
I re-checked VS's website in different parts of the world and they all appeared to be offline or not accessible, with no reasons given.
Placed this in dropbox - kindly let me know if you can access & retrieve it, or if you run into problems. Some of my cloud storage are gone as I am uploaded it to the multiload server and it's ...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64025118/ViewPad 7 Firmware v3_42_uk.zip
Below is the SUTL3 installation utility that you will need to flash it, please read & follow instructions - and, as always - backup first.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64025118/SUTL3_v1.7.9.zip
Please proceed at your own risk as I am and will not be responsible if you (soft) brick your device - the files as uploaded are unaltered as it was originally saved or downloaded. Good Luck !
Thanks for your help...
Now i have SUTL and the Rom...
When trying to flash, it boots in the recovery but then aborts...
and says that the file couldn´t be sent to the device...
do i need an Micro-SD-Card(tried without) inserted to flash the Stock rom?
or do i need the stock Recovery(i have CWM installed)?
Greets and Thanks

Whether it's flashing the stock/factory rom or cwm, you need to have the mSD card in the slot, especially custom ROM or else it will not install. Try it again.
The stock recovery will format & if I remember correctly (it will unroot the device) - need to root it again & reinstall CWM, so please make sure you have the necessary files since lots of us "had" cloud files disappeared due to the megaupload & related issues recently.
Check & uninstall, then reinstall any usb drivers - I believe it will load from the device onto the computer. While still in CWM recovery, connect via USB cable and if you can read the mSD card, then it should be ready to re-flash the factory ROM.

OK... I got it...
the problem was the recovery.
After flashing an older CWM-Recovery SUTL did the job.... and flashed the Image.
Thanks for your help....
Well let me start off by saying that I "updated" CMW through ROM manager. Big mistake it was actually a downgrade after using CMW Touch. So I decided to change it back, but for some reason the version that I was directed to use from ROM Manager had problems seeing files and directories.
So...I couldn't get access to the zip to flash again.
With my OCD and having a ton of useless directories and files already on my phone I said screw it, mounted my USB and copied my files over to my PC and then FORMATTED the entire phone.
Then installed CMW Touch through Odin v1.85. Success...
But my phone is stuck at the boot logo. Is there a way to flash a custom ROM from this point via Odin?
I am NOT worried about the flash counter. I just want my phone fixed

Yes, I can....
I thought I could mount usb storage there and drag over a ROM and then flash it, but my computer isn't detecting it when it's mounted, or I'm doing something wrong...?
Edit: I wanted to add the fact that my phone is showing up in my computer's device manager as Samsung Android ADB Interface...So is there some commands I can do through ADB to push a ROM onto my phone?
Thanks for your help Joe.

Trying adb push 'ROM' /sdcard right now....
Well I got the ROM onto my card, but when I flash it I'm getting an error Status 7....
"assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "SGH-I717" ||, then it repeats and says quincyatt.... I'm thinking since this in the nightly build of CM9 that my device should be named quincyatt and it's not since I don't have CMW for this ROM???
No one?
I would use either strategy:
1. Get the Gingerbread Odin 1Click package. This will install driver, Odin, then format and flash GB rom.
2. Use Kies ICS upgrade site, go to tools, then do an emergency firmware installation.
Then flash CWM kernel for recovery.
If you can push twrp to you phone, then flash version 2.2.1.1. You will be able to install cm9 successfully through that recovery. If you don't want to do that, then push a different ROM to your phone and flash that.
Excuse me for diverting the thread a little, but . . .
@froidroid:
I don't use that recovery -- what is the difference/advantage of it over CWM? TIA
I would say just a personal preference ultimately. The reason I suggested it for him was so he could flash cm9. Cm9 won't flash with his current recovery. I would definitely suggest giving it a try. The UI is amazing and there are a few more options that aren't available in cwm.
Did I mention a nandroid takes less than 5 minutes? Best part imho
Thats a gooood selling point.
At this point I'd say flash stock through Odin and start over...as long as you've copied over your important files...

LoL Thanks guys, I got it.
What I was able to do was push the newest version of CWM onto my phone via ADB. But it was tricky because it came as a stand-alone file (recovery.img) so I did some searching to find an actual Update.zip for CWM and replaced the recovery.img in that zip with the new recovery.img
Then pushed with ADB (adb push update.zip /sdcard) and updated
Hi everyone,
An acquaintance has brought his gf's i9300 to me because he needs help. Him and his gf went on a trip somewhere. She took a bunch of photos. She stored them on the internal storage rather than the SD card. At some point, she tried to apply an OTA update and now it's stuck at the Samsung logo. I believe the update got corrupted or maybe she let the phone die while it was applying... Something obviously went wrong. He's hoping I can get it to boot without losing the pictures.
I know I can flash an Odin image but I'm pretty sure that will wipe what they want. There is a thread here on XDA that says some Odin images won't erase data, but the files are out of date (they are ICS).
I did go in to recovery and try to apply the update.zip from cache but it failed.
Can anyone just provide me with the update.zip of the most current OTA for the Hong Kong version of the i9300?
One other thing to note, when I go in to recovery it says it has CSC XFE. According to another XDA thread, that's supposed to be the region code for South Africa.
Any help is appreciated.
Pretty sure all roms don't wipe data on sammobile.com but further confirmation needed.
Anyway, sammobile.com is where you need to be
Not sure if you can use mskip's unified toolbox to pull the data off the /sdcard

Sam Mobile does not have the Hong Kong ROM.
The unified toolbox requires the phone to be booted to Android.
I did download the ZSDLL1 HK based firmware that can be flashed in Odin, but I'm not going to flash it unless I know for a fact it won't erase their pictures. It would be awesome if I could just download the update.zip, throw it on an SD card, and apply it from there.
Doing a lot of searching online but there is so much conflicting information...

If you've got access to Recovery you can try to do a nandroid backup before trying anything else, then I think you may be able to get the pictures from the data folder in the nandroid.
The phone is stock, non root. Everything is stock. It's his gf's phone. Are the S3s sold in Hong Kong bootloader unlocked from the factory? If so, I might just unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery like twrp, mount the internal storage as a drive, and copy the files over. Though I think I'll run in to issues trying to mount to the PC due to lack of USB mass storage support...
There are some data recovery apps on play store, and they are fairly effective, so even if the phone gets wiped you should be able to recover most pictures......just remember to try data recovery app before you start filling up your internal sd as it will only recover deleted data that hasn't been overwritten
There's no way you can apply an update.zip now. The process failed, breaking the os. Its all or nothing I'm afraid.

Also if you do flash a custom recovery, you can use the unified toolkit to perform an adb pull (option 11) whilst connected in recovery mode if all else fails.
I just cant see how you'll get back to HK stock

Try this:
Download the .tar version of a custom recovery (I recommend PhilZ's CWM recovery). Flash it via Odin. This won't touch the data partition.
Now you can try and see whether you can connect the phone to the computer, mount the internal sdcard, and transfer out the data required.
If that doesn't work:
Using the custom recovery, try flashing the update.zip again. Else, download a stock firmware based custom ROM (maybe something on the smaller side, such as Wanam's de-bloated/light custom ROMs), put it into your external SD Card, and flash it using the recovery. Wipe the cache and dalvik cache, and reboot your phone.
Now, you can take the pictures out, onto your computer.
To flash back to a completely stock setup: first use Triangle Away by Chainfire to reset the binary counter, then get into download mode and Odin flash your region's firmware to get back to stock.
All the best man!

Yeah that looks like the best course of action. All that matters is trying to get the pics. I think after that they don't care if I reflash via Odin. Of course, if it's impossible I'm just going to tell them and offer to restore stock firmware which I've already downloaded.

These sound like a great idea. I'm already familiar with recoveries, I have Odin, I have the triangle away apk already (although it requires root).... I mean I myself have a USA variant of the S3. I'm pretty sure mounting in recovery is the only chance.
My only worry is that I seem to remember not being able to do this with my Verizon variant for some reason...
Also, if you can help me find the update.zip that would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
If you specifically use Philz recovery (link in my signature) that @Erahgon suggested, if you go into "Mounts and storage" you can use "mount /data".
From here, (assuming you're set up to use adb) you can use the following commands in windows cmd or Linux terminal:
Code:
adb pull /data/media/DCIM c:\users\myusername\Desktop
The "Mount /sdcard" options in recovery wont help.
OR, if you have an external SD card, you can follow the Instructions for Philz recovery to put aroma filemanager on the sdcard. This allows you to use a file manager from inside Philz recovery. You action this (once you have the zip in the correct place on external sdcard) Philz Settings > Aroma File manager.
Within there, you'll be able to copy the DCIM folder to external SD easily.

Wow thanks for this idea. But I went ahead and took care of it in a more roundabout way, which I'll detail for a future searcher.
I flashed Philz recovery. Then I flashed a ROM that was basically stock rooted. Then I gave the phone back. I didn't want to keep their phone too long. I figured that she got her data and hopefully maybe the inconvenience of having to restore apps along with this incident would teach her to store pics on an external from now on. The ROM also came with a 50 GB dropbox bonus, so I told them to sign up for that and start using it.
I remembered through research that custom recoveries will leave data/media alone (or internal sd) while still erasing all user apps when doing factory reset. And installing custom ROMs also leaves that alone. It took me numerous flashes, but I already had triangle away so I used that. The counter is unfortunately stuck at 1, but I asked first if they planned on keeping the phone or getting warranty service. They planned on keeping it, so I just told them if they ever needed to warranty it or something to just bring it back to me.
I also made sure to set SuperSU to deny root by default (except triangle away)... There was no way I was going to leave that power unchecked in her hands.
Thank you again for the help, everyone. When I get a chance I'll report my own thread to get it locked.
If any future searcher finds this and has questions, PM me.
Yup new bootloaders increment flash counter back to 1 every boot.
Have to prevent triangle away from booting the device once its done the deed. Them flash stock from Odin

I am in a bit of a predicament here. I wanted to clear all the rubbish and folders from my phone to load the stock JB rom so my wife can use the phone for the camera(custom ROMS have horrible camera software) so decided to go into CWM recovery and Format the system partition, cache partition and data partition. Now all worked great BUT now none of the phone drivers will install on the PC(any of the PC's I have) and Odin doesn't pick the phone up. I have tried everything to get the drivers installed but no luck. Windows refuses to install the drivers, even from Windows update.
Is there anything else I can do as I can't find a stock original JB rom in ZIP format to install via CWM. Only have md5 and .tar file which work with Odin. I can install ROM's and everything via CWM but not Odin. Any help would be appreciated.

Click the Odin link in my signature, and try the things over and over under 'If Odin won't recognize the phone". There are stock zips around which are CWM flashable for sure as well on XDA. I unfortunately don't have a link handy, but search for 'flashable stock rom zip xda i9100' or something similar.

You can always use mobile odin. the lite version can be obtained from xda itself, thanks to chainfire. U can flash .tar or tar.md5 directly from your phone. No need to meddle with any PCs. choose the correct flash kernel though.

Hi guys, I have a Samsung A50 of my dad which he recently bought from a store. He works on a financial company and while being there he used
this phone to keep his company data which in some cases are also costumer data which he doesn't afford to lose. On an evening night m mischievous little cousin got his phone
and on the try to open the phone to find games he entered a pattern wrong multiple times which made to lock the phone. I have been searching for things to get this phone unlocked but I don't seem
to find any successful methods.
I get to see a `Lockscreen_FIXER.zip` (from 2014, 8 years ago) but I seem to not be able to flash it. I can successfully boot into recovery mode but can not flash it for some reason, I also put the `.zip` file to the `sd card` or tried `adb` with `adb solidate Lockscreen_FIXER.zip` but either that didn't work out as I clicked "apply update with adb" on recovery mode.
Is there any method to bypass this lockscreen only for once at last?! Thanks so much!!
Hey
Im not an expert i want to point out first
But i anyway want to give my opinion in hopes i can help a little bit
First: this isn't the correct place to post troubles like so, you have a safer bet on posting this on "Question & answers"
Second: If its only data and not apps
You can try properly flashing Twrp because unless the file is no longer supported to get past Android 11 lockscreen
Then its the Twrp you installed
Then connect your phone to your pc
If you have the correct drivers you should be able to see your files in file explorer then copy and paste everything important to your desktop
Then in Twrp just Factory reset so you can use your phone once again
If you cant afford to lose your apps as well
Then you're out of luck on that one buddy

Hello @Nashiro10, thanks for your reply. Okay I will ask in the proper place next time.
I see, at this point I care much more about data inside the phone rather than apps. I have a question when it comes to flash ".zip" files. How do I do it? In my recovery mode I got only "Apply Update with adb and sd card" and these two options needs an OTAPACKAGE as an update. Or I can do the flash using Odin while phone is in the "downloading mode"?
Thank you for your time!

If you want to flash Zip files then you have to do it through Twrp (Twrp being a custom recovery which you can find on this section) since its easier and you have a higher chance that if something goes wrong with the install you'll have an error code
And It know hows to handle more custom style of Files so its probably the stock recovery you're using doesn't know how yo work with the zip file you're giving it
And as far as im aware Odin only works to install system important files (STOCK SYSTEM, recoveries, Data, internal data, etc)
And also used to flash Twrp via Odin
BUT!
What i forgot to ask is that if you have OEM unlock activated in developer settings?
If you dont then you're out of choices because you wont be able to flash your zip file and you wont be able to flash twrp
Which leaves you to restoring your phone with Odin
Dont know if you can access your phone's data through the stock recovery
But if you can then do what i said in the first post then factory reset the phone through recovery

No, I don't have OEM unlocked because my dad populated the phone with data in a short time and to do the OEM unlocking you have to factory reset the phone and OEM Unlock. Idk either if I can recover data using adb because I cannot connect the phone with adb(unless I select "apply update using adb").
It seems I don't have so much choices and if I'm forced to do the factory reset then I will do it...
I don't know how some phone service stations can unlock the phone... what do they do lol magic? Because I had another phone which couldn't boot and they fixed it.
