I have downloaded all the files from this forum to flash my Gear fit. Those did not work. It fails every time on flashing the AP. THe other two files flash perfect. And it would not boot. So what I did next was I downloaded a copy of gearfit manager and extracted the AP firmware file from that and it flashes and fails, but when I flash the the other two files after that it boots up and is un bricked. I need your help in getting the other files to flash successfully. It works but it is on outdated firmware. I have downloaded multiple files to make sure it was not corrupt. I am using windows 8 x64 to flash. If someone knows a fix to this problem help. I am using the odin version 3.09.5 wingtip.

I tried to install custom rom on my phone. Flashed wrong recovery, after changed to working recovery (which i had previously) phone didnt detect sim cards. I think it was because of system so thats why need system.img. And boot.img because read somewhere to flash boot.img using fastboot, so flashed and phone have bootloop now. Thank you from the mountain. So I think if i flash boot.img and system.img with fastboot it will work fine again.
EDIT: Found stock rom at russian forums gsmforums.ru and 4PDA forum
Phone working but I still have problem that it can't read SIM cards. It's dual sim and both sim cards don't working tried with some other cards and don't work too. Someone have any idea? It's wrong recovery flash problem? :/ Because phone can't read cards since i flashed wrong recovery and returned to working one. Thanks, hope for fast reply.

I have found the ROM but it would be helpful if you could link it too. I haven't flashed android before and don't know how to do it properly, so it would be of great help if you could tell me how you did it. I have tried few things but with no success.

Sorry for the really late reply, but I've bought 3 new phones already in the meantime so I stopped watching the forum for the solution. Here's the link for the stock rom: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/d126368659a8/KK_4.4.2_stock_ Prestigio 3404 Duos.7z You should be able to download it without any problems. If You encounter some problems then tell me in next reply and I'll upload the rom to the other hosting site. Next thing You should download is a file from this link: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/c1e9138eac6e/backup.7z It contains scatter file which includes required info for SP Flash Tool to flash the image. Extract both files to the same folder on Your desktop so it'll be easier to find them. To flash the rom You have to download and install SP Flash Tool. It would be best if You'd follow the tutorial on YouTube like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CxDF2pkdCQ Here's the link to SP Flash Tool official site: https://spflashtool.com/ In the flashtool You should select download agent which is inside the tool folder and is most likely named something like "MTKallinoneDL". Then You should select scatter file from the rom folder which is named something like "mt6752_android_scatter" The next step is to select the "download only" option from the menu. You should follow the video on how to install the drivers and what steps You should take to connect the device correctly to the pc. So once again:
1. Download all the files and extract them:
* https://cloud.mail.ru/public/d126368659a8/KK_4.4.2_stock_ Prestigio 3404 Duos.7z << stock rom
* https://cloud.mail.ru/public/c1e9138eac6e/backup.7z <<scatter file etc.
* https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087012126 <<mtk preloader drivers
* https://spflashtool.com/download/SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1824_Win.zip << Latest version of SP Flash Tool
2.Install the MTK preloader drivers as shown in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=219&v=sADkzyI8Z5Q
3.Open SP Flash tool and select download agent, scatter file and select "download only" option from the drop down menu. (NOTE: You should open SP Flash Tool as administrator to avoid any problems)
4.Select checkboxes for ANDROID, BOOTIMG, RECOVERY.
5.Click the downlaod button (before connecting Your phone)
6.Connect Your phone without battery to Your pc.
7.Now wait untill the message window pop-ups with "download OK" message.
If You have trouble using the SP Flash Tool here's another video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKpt0TLE6_A NOTE: If You flash Your phone with "FORMAT ALL AND DOWNLOAD" You could erase Your IMEI partition which will result in another problems with phone calls etc. It's best if You select download only and select only these 3 partitions I mentioned earlier. If You encounter any problems please let me know in Your future reply.
Hello everyone,
Yesterday i've got my hands on an old Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 16GB and since i'm a fan of CM i wanted to install it.
The problem begins when i try to flash with Odin, no matter which version, USB Port, PIT File or what i'm trying to Flash it gets stuck at "Get pit for Mapping".
I tried on two PCs one with Windows 7 and one with XP but no luck.
The phone works perfectly with the Stock ROM 4.3 and i'm trying to figure out what is wrong with it.
I can't Root it, i can't Flash a Custom Recovery and i NEED HELP PLEASE.
1. Enable developer options (google it).
2. Enable adb (in developer options).
3. Grab all this : https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B4vTiHTBB629ZW5vQndpbjFnblk/edit
4. Put phone in download mode and connect to pc.
5. Install drivers (the one with 15 in the filename works for me in xp).
6. Run odin and click pda, select the rom.
7. Click start and wait for "pass"
8. Put phone in download mode and flash cfautoroot via odin (click pda and select cfautoroot).
9. Click start and let the device do its reboot with the red writing etc..
10. You now have 2 choices for flashing a custom recovery. Mobile odin or pc odin must be used. If there is no custom recovery file in the link i provided i recommend the official website only for obtaining the file. If you use pc odin you need the .tar file and flash via pda again. If you use mobile odin you need the .zip and the process is obvious.
Good luck.

Hello mate and thanks for your help, i tried to do your list but when i try to flash it still hangs on "Get PIT for Mapping".
BTW when you say enable ADB you mean the USB Debbuging right?
What else can i try?
Yes i mean usb debugging. Looks like the partition table (pit) is definitely corrupt. If you cannot flash another pit file then your device needs jtag or call it dead.
guys i think i got a real problem here.
First of all i apologize for my english and thank you in advance
i was trying to flash magisk on my with twrp rooted device (samsung galaxy neo, G903F) and since i had some problems i thought i could try it on a fresh system again.
so i just wanted to flash a stock image from updato (i am kinda sure it is the right version).suddenly odin says the progress failed and after a few minutes waiting i disconnected and took out the battery.
when i wanted to start it, i got "error occurred while updating software. use emergency recovery function in smart smitch PC software"
after watching a short video i tried this smartswitch-thing, but its just telling me my device isnt supportet.
the problem is that my phone was rooted while i tried to flash the stock image right? so smartswitch wont work for me? what do you advice? only thing i can do is download modus.

You should never remove the battery of your phone when an update failed , you just corrupted your system.
What you have to do now is enter in bootloader mode , plug you phone to your PC , and flash the stock system.img and boot.img.
Search how to do that on your device , watch videos and guide on XDA , then do this.
Remember to always make a backup of your system before doing that.
TY for the fast answer!
do you mean the recovery mode(home + power + vol.up)? i cant enter anything except of the downloadmode (home+power+vol.down). I extracted the boot.img and system.img from the tar.md5 file with 7zip and coverted it to .tar, can i flash that per Odin the same way i tried to flash the whole firmware? and if yes, in which order should i do it or sould i convert boot.img and system.img to one single .tar file? sry i googled more than an hour but didnt find instructions to do this. just the extracting and converting part and thousands of how to flash whole firmwares or fixes via smartswitch-.-

I'm not an Odin expert at all , but I think you should use the .IMG file , starting with the system.img , and after the boot.img
But I'm not sure at all , take another hour to make searches.
I am trying to root my s10 lite by following this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10-lite/development/how-to-root-galaxy-s10-lite-t4099777
Been trying for the past 3 days with no success
I have already unlocked my bootloader and downloaded the latest firmware available in my country (Do I have to download the stock one in order for this to work and then update ?)
Flashed the vbmeta_disabler.tar device rebooted to recovery did a factory data reset then powered phone off through recovery and reentered download mode. After that I flashed vbmeta_disabler again along with AP,CSC,CP and CSC files from latest firmware.
After that phone booted and afte the set up downloaded latest magisk manager (canary) . Then I transfered the AP file to the phone's internal storage and patched it using Magisk . Lastly I transfered back the magisk_patched.tar back to pc and tried to flash it with Odin along with BL,CP and HOME_CSC files.
It resulted in a bootloop .
I even tried to use the patched image from the telegram channel dedicated to s10 lite. Extracted the magisk_patched.tar and replaced the boot.img there with the one provided in the Telegram channel. After that using 7 zip I made a .tar file which tried to flash with Odin alongside the other files (BL,CP,HOME_CSC) but Odin crashed.
I tried to follow the exact same steps noted in the guide but with no success and I can't figurr out what I did wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated
Some Questions :
1. Auto reboot is left on on Odin should it be disabled ?
2. After flashing the patched.tar do I have to press a specific key combo to launch phone with Magisk ?
3. When I do manage to root it (optimistic approach) if I want to power off or restart during the boot is it required to press a key combo to boot with Magisk ?
4. After the rooting process can I use the stable Magisk Manager instead of the canary one cause I need Magisk Hide which I think the Canary one lacks ?
Thanks a lot !
wait on twrp, my guess its the wrong patched boot for the software your using
I wanted to root my A52 5G (SM-A526B) i first unlocked the bootloader
then i downloaded my Firmware with Frija and patched the boot.img with Magisk then i went into download mode and flashed it with Odin
Odin gave me a Green PASS Message and i knew i needed to factory reset with recovery mode but i couldnt get into it then i got into a boot loop with the Samsung Galaxy Bootlogo
then i tried to flash Twrp with odin to factory reset because i couldnt get into the stock recovery mode Odin again gave me a PASS Message then i tried to get into recovery mode but it still didnt work and now im trying to flash Stock Firmware but cant get it to work what should i do
The picture is what happens when i try to boot please help me to flash stock firmware
When i try to flash Stock Firmware it fails at the very end on vbmeta.img
The a52 5g doesn't have twrp currently. Also, you might have flashed the incorrect firmware.
Plus, just for you to know, you do not need to do factory reset after flashing your firmware. What steps have you taken to flash this firmware? How did you patch magisk? Show the steps so we can help you cuz you might have done something wrong
Ok it seems that your mistake here is that you are trying to flash boot.img. so what you actually suppose to do is to download the firmware, take the AP file from the firmware(don't extract the file!). Then, move the file to your phone and download magisk on your phone. You will see that magisk is offering you to install magisk on the top corner of your screen. You need to choose to patch the file, the AP file. Once magisk done, on your file explorer(probably in downloads) a file called "magisk_patched xxxx.tar" (the xxxx representing the version of magisk). Take this file and copy it to your computer, and on Odin, instead of using the AP file, use the magisk file. Boom, done. Now first, we need to recover your phone to its original condition. Take the AP file and flash it(not the boot.img!)

Try flashing other parts of firmware, not just AP
i.e. BL, CSC and CP
But don't add home_csc (USERDATA).
If all fails, you can use EDL mode to flash firmware
