Trying to install a rom on a rooted device SM-G900T - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I turn to the all might all knowing internet for answers
I have a galaxy s5 device that i bought in israel
under about device it says that the Model is SM-G900W8
the rom is a custom one 4.4.2 eyal mobile
This is how i unknowingly bought it from the store
Now normally i wouldnt mess around with roms and odin and whatnot but this phone has a problem
sometimes after i update an app(be it Youtube,potfarm,several apps altogether) the phone goes bat**** crazy and popping out the error message "The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" and i have a hard time fixing it
so i wanted to install an original (not custom) rom from sammobile
Now again, iam new to all of it(iam a pro at IOS but it was time to upgrade my iphone 4) so i read some manuals and did the following
downloaded the file named "G900FXXU1BPA2_G900FOJK1BPA1_G900FXXU1BOK1_HOME.tar.md5" from sammobile
this file is supposed to work on SM-G900F which is used in israel(this file is "customized" for my carrier Orange)
downloaded odin
but before i did anything i've shutdown my device, and under the battery the model name is "SM-G900T"
So the rom thinks its from canada (SM-G900W8) while in fact its SM-G900T T-mobile
Iam at a loss here
should i install the SM-G900F which is best suited for my country? or should i install the SM-G900T which is from what i've read so far a locked rom and my sim card will probably wont work on it... @[email protected]
and how does canada fits into all of this???
i did thought to myself Ohhhh what the hell and tried to install the file from sammobile which is suited for G900F
i worked according to a site that showed how to install a rom
rebooted the phone in download mode
noticed that "qualcomm secureboot enable (csb)" - i have no idea what that means
ran the odin and it gave me this error

and on the phone it showed SECURE CHECK FAIL : aboot
i've tried two versions of odin, 3.04 and 3.09 in admin privileges
the .09 gave a similar error
i think that it cant be due to the bootloader being downgraded because the current rom is 4.4.2 eyal mobile
and iam trying to install a 5.0 rom
I hope i gave enough info
Thanks in advance for all the helpers out there

[Q] Kies broke my phone, is it recoverable?

Hi Guys
I was having some trouble connecting my Galaxy S2 to my comp this evening to transfer some photos. Downloaded and installed Kies and it said there was a software update. Went through with it, upgrading to Icecream Sandwich (or w/e its called) but during the installation process it failed (can't remember the exact error message).
My phone is now unable to switch on, just showing the error message:
"Firmware upgraded encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
Unfortunately, Kies will not locate my device and will not go through with recovery.
After some searching I came accross this forum, and specifically http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449771]this thread.
I've worked my way through that. I can flash the kernel succesfully through Odin (says pass) but when I try and flash the firmware it fails.

Get the same trying to use Bootloader aswell.
Now I'm guessing my warranty is now voided, so is there anything I can do to save my phone or is it completely b0rked?
Help much appreciated.
Some details from under my battery
Model GT-I9100P
SSN: I9100PGSMH
Any other details you need?
Bare in mind i cannot get into the phone at all.
Is it possible that I need to use the ICS recovery package rather than the Gingerbread?
i think u need full rom with pit and ur phone will work
Hi, thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately I'm in work and don't have a comp with full access. Any chance you could possibly link the files I need or at least point me in the right direction.
Many thanks.

Not really sure what the issue is!

Same problem here, my phone was working fine then all of a sudden i noticed it was dead, tried rebooting it, nothing happened, boot loop, tried to access CWM, i got the lower section menu of CWM but nothing else, a black screen with the buttons.
So next i said, let me use odin to flash a new kernel. That failed and ever since that failed, i cannot do anything except enter download mode. If i power the phone on, i get a [phone-problem-computer] image in yellow with text that says somehting like problem loading software, please conntect to kies recovery mode. of course that never works.
And everytime i try to flash absolutely anything on this device, Odin DOES see the device, and the second i press flash/start, when it reacher nand write start, it hangs there, stuck doing nothing.
I took the phone to a friend who has an Riff jtag box, he soldered his jtag to the phone and said the memory chip is not dead, i can read its capacity normally. But when he tried to write to it, it did not work, kept giving him errors, he said he has never encountered such a behavior before. And then i had to leave.
Up to now, my phone is still dead and i have no idea what to do. It only enters download mode, but at the same time, this is useless since flashing anything simply does not work. Anyone knows what the reason could be?
FYI, i was on NeatROM 5.5, which comes with Philz Kernel.
NAND is stuffed/corrupted. How/why - who knows ? Motherboard replacement if you've already tried JTAG. Could be something hardware going on that caused the chip to become 'damaged'.

Problem updating firmware 4.1.1 to 4.3

Hi, I was trying to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 ; firmware version 4.1.1 to 4.3
On my first attempt I used:
* I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXXGML1_I9300XXUGMK6_HOME.tar
* Odin 3.07
I turned my phone off, then I went to Download Mode (power + volume down + home buttons), opened the Odin 3.09, opened the tar file on the PDA, ticked F Reset and Auto Reboot and start!
After this odin finished as:
Complete(write) operation failed! ...
On the download screen this is the following information:
Product Name: SGH-I747
Custom Binary Download: Yes (8 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable
Unsupport Dev_Type
As you can see the product name is different now. But it is an i9300 as i confirmed on settings before upgrading (and on the battery slot).
I have tried with 2 or 3 differents firmwares and it keeps giving the same error.
Phone will not show Samsung Logo right now, it shows: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. Kies does not detect the phone, but the pc and odin does.
Please help.
If it's really a i9300 then it should just be a matter of flashing the right file.
Please try this german 4.3 ROM: http://goo.gl/aJMX7K
If it doesn't work find a threepart-firmware for i9300 (with PIT-file included) and flash it.
Still presenting the issue

Hi. Try chimera tools and flash rom.
I'm beginning to suspect you are on commission for chimera...
It looks like the op flashed a firmware for the i747, try the rescue firmware from general forum else a repair centre.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
That would definitely be my next step as well. Try the 3-part rescue firmware with PIT.
What do you mean on device it says SGH-i747? Where on device, when it trys to boot? That's from the incorrectly flashed firmware but
should normally be overwritten by the correct firmware without problem.
Again, if you're positiv it really is a i9300 the rescue firmware should do:
http://direct.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735
You do need to ensure you get the correct firmware and to do this you need Kies to work.
Uninstal Kies then download Kies and install again, download the 4.3 version, then start Kies go to tools and select the Firmware Upgrade and Installation, follow the instructions, hopefully for you it will see the phone, following the process should wipe the phone and install the correct firmware for it, once this is done the phone should boot up, after that you should have a working phone.
Seems very odd your phone shows i9300 in the About Phone and under the battery but not when you go into download mode it shows the US / Canada phone model.SGH-i747

Higher chances your phone can easily be recovered
The only problem is if you havent backed up ur data u could loose it.
Im not sure if u can back it up at this stage unless its on the external memeory card.
Method 1:
- Copy over the flashable OMNI ROM Zip file to an external memory card then insert in phone
- remove battery,
- re-insert battery,
- hold MENU KEY + VOLUME UP + POWER KEY for like 3 - 5 seconds then release
- The phone will enter recovery mode
NOW if it happens to be CWM recovery (u just flashed) and not the Original Stock recovery
then you could do a DATA WIPE / WIPE DATA normally deletes the apps and not personal files but I believe OMNI ROM uses a different file system compared to original Samsung stock ROMS so if your flashing was successful and ur pohone is just suffering from a bootloop then ur personal data (pictures, videos , personal files) may have already already been have wiped. eboot and u could be good to go with OMNI ROM
OR u could use the same recovery to flash the OMNI ROM Zip file on the external SD Card... (google or search on XDA how to flash a ROM using CWM Recovery)
Method 2: will set everything as how it was before if above fails or is complicated
My advice Flash a samsung STOCK ROM using Odin (u need to google or search on XDA on how to flash the phone with Odin ///pretty easy though)
Also download a samsung stock ROM version which was currently on your phone when you bought the phone not any later versions unless your phone was updated via OTA then download that version just to avoid some possibilites of corrupting the EFS..you can download most samsung stock ROMs from here
Your phone should be restored to stock and should work fine. If u still need to use Omni ROM or any other ROM (in most cases) then u would need to ROOT ur stock rom , flash CWM and flash your ROM. but just after rooting its always a good idea to backup ur EFS Folder/EFS Partition (These two links may help you link 1 link 2)
Note: if you dont tick REPARTITION while flashing with Odin chances are your data on the internal memory could be available and not erased just a heads up
Thanks...

Ok i used to have a similar if not the same problem. Are u in download mode when you perform the flash? Try flashing with an Older Odin version1.85 attached here it helped me numerous times .. the newer ones never worked for me. also send me screenshots before & after you flash you phone of odin

[Q] Device Softbricked, PIT errors and flash dead ends

Hi,
A few days ago, my device spontaneously soft-bricked itself (haven't installed any mods or stuff), and after a quick regression, it is now only able to boot into download mode (recovery mode sends it to a screen with white horizontal and diagonal lines..)
In download mode, it reads:
ODIN MODE:
product name: GT-I9300
Custom binary download: NO
Current Binary: samsung official
System status: custom
I have tried setting up cyanogenmod but haven't been able to flash their provided custom recovery, due to my computer being unable to download the PIT from the device.
I also tried using the master version of heimdall to do that, with no success.
I also tried recovering my device with KIES, but after downloading the firmware update to my computer, it gets into a load where it would be uploading said update into my device, but just hangs at 0%
I tried uploading a stock firmware using odin 3.07, and I recieved some error regarding my PIT file.
Finally I tried repartitioning with a downloaded PIT file but I got this message: <ID:0/003> Can't open the serial(COM) port.
My phone's status remained the same so I am pretty certain that I haven't caused any further damage to it.
Sooo, any ideas?
If possible, I would very much prefer to install CM on it, and am considering rooting it, but most importantly i'm dissapointed with samsung's default os.
Thanks in advance,
Macro
If odin cant see it you've buggered it proper.
The method was
Install cfautoroot
Install clockwork recovery (official, custom borks your phone).
Install cyanogenmod (via cwm).
The error with the pit file would most likely be a bad file or wrong version. Playing with the partition table is a no-no and a last resort only.
If you can get odin to see the device in download mode you can flash stock and start over. If not, you have an expensive paperweight.
Samsungs "os" is bada. I think you mean "overlay". I agree. Touchwiz is rubbish but i think samsung only do it to grate some apple.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
Hi! Thank you for the reply
I tried earlier to download a stock and flash it with odin (3.07) and got the same pit file error, specifically this:

What kind of wrong files would I have? Are you talking about the cfautorout version for my model, or do you mean that I should use a different odin version?

What kind of wrong files would I have? Are you talking about the cfautorout version for my model, or do you mean that I should use a different odin version?

As I see you should send your device for a repair. It says there is no pit partition that as I know it mean there is no pit partition in your device!! So you totally messed it up and don't know what you have done but it needs a repair.
As oddly as it sounds, I had practically nothing on it. Never messed with it or anything. Barely any apps, no root/mod/whatever.
After looking into it with a friend, it seems like this problem is called SDS, and I saw some references to it over here:

I will look into it tomorrow afternoon once I'm free, but according to my friend, this would require a replacement motherboard... Might as well buy a new phone, lol
Still, if you have any ideas, I'd be happy to hear them. Thanks for your help up until now
