I've also tried downgrading the version so i can sideload pie BUUUUT of course it does the same thing. I don't get it. I've ALWAYS had issues with Odin with ANY samsung device. I have windows 10. What's the deal here? I'm using the ATT variant of the S9+ I've read people saying OMG IT WORKS THANKS but I can't get odin to do anything but FAIL and get stuck on bloated firmware. And these threads tend to get ignored so I really hope someone has an idea.
I've ran it as admin. I've turned it on as admin THEN plugged the phone in. I've tried literally everything possible and it just fights me.
Are you putting the phone in download mode?
Odin has been around since the dinosaurs, and has been roc solid since then. You're doing something wrong, or have an issue somwhere on your end.
Are you enabling usb debugging on the phone and using the patched Odin?

EDIT: Put it BACK in download mode, put debugging on. Same issue. I'm not doing anything different than I always have using Odin. Ever since KNOX samsung phones have been a pain. I even installed a XP VM and it did the same thing, aswell as a windows 7 VM.

That's what I thought but I was advised to enable it in the developer options. I flashed a Verizon s9 plus to the unlocked firmware with no issues at all, using that same Odin. I was also advised to choose a firmware that has the same bootloader version that the phone was currently on.

The 5th number from the end is either 1,2, or 3. So I checked in the phone info app and currently I had 1, so I chose an unlocked firmware that also had a 1 there. It flashed fine, and then it got all the OTA updates to get up to the latest unlocked build. Hope you figure it out!
Oh, I was also advised to choose an XAA firmware, but I have no idea why or what that even really means. I think it just means it's completely carrier free. Also I used CSC rather than Home CSC

The XAA is probably not crucial, but the bootloader number is I believe. Any luck yet?
Try to delete all android and samsung drivers on your PC. If you have Kies or smart switch uninstall it. Then start your phone in download mode and open odin. At least plug it into your PC and wait a few minutes, that Windows can find the drivers.
Are you launching ODIN as admimistrator? As in right click on it and selecting "runa as administrator "

I ended up just taking it back for a refund, the razer phone 2 is under AT&T with no bloat so I'm waiting for my refund from best buy. I liked the phone, too much bloat and bixby is the most worthless assistant. It wasnt even worth trying to disable it, samsung lost their touch. I miss the old galaxy phones without KNOX and this bixby crap. so this can be closed.
had the same issue. Changed USB cable and all was good.

Start .
One what firmware on the phone .
Two what firmware are you flashing .
Three is the phone SGS3 International I9300 .
Four have you tried re download of firmware .
jje
1-stop kies (if it is installed) before trying to use odin
2-try reinstalling the USB drivers
3-try with the stock SGS3 USB cable if you tried with another cable
4-try on another USB port on your computer
5-try on another computer
If none of this work, it seems that your phone has a R/W corrupt NAND and you will probably never be able to flash it
Maybe you need to turn on USB debbuging in phone settings.

Actually, I'd recommend one to completely uninstall KIES, since it is utterly worthless. It is possible to uninstall KIES but keep the drivers.

I dont know what firmware in the phone before customer bring phone like this.customer just saying he was just taxing and after he put in charge and he woke up and and finds out his phone saying Encryption failed
Code:
Encryption failed
Unable to complete encryption due to on interruption,perform factory data reset(erasing all your data )before use,After resting try encrypting device again
i m trying to do hard reset but wont let me do.
i try few different pc no luck with kies without kies same error.
He set phone encryption in settings and process has been interrupted or there was some errors while encrypting.
This procedure takes a while, even few houers. If phone will be rebooted by user or by power loss (weak battery) encrypion will fail in half way.
You should try to Initialize phone to factory default system by Kies. You need seril number and device name. GT-9300 in this case. Kies will check Samsungs database and try to restore original firmware, also branded. Kies will try to repartition to stock layout, format and flash this firmware.
This option is somwhere in Kies menu, tools if I remember.
If its fail than only option left is try Odin, 3 files firmware, mx.pit and repartition check while flashing.

It is XEO (Ost Europe) version but if flashing will be succesfull than you may flash anything you want after that. Only csc or whole newest one file firmware.
Look also at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796062
You must be aware that partitionning is not recommended. There is always small chance to screw something but in this case it seams like your last hope.
Personally I never had any problems with .pit (sgs, sgs2,sgs3), but s**t happens.

Try one more thing, set mx.pit as pit check repartition an UNCHECK autoreboot. Flash only pit. If it finish with success dont reboot your phone and do not disconnect it from Odin. Set this time pda, modem and csc (without repartition) and try to flash.
If it fail than its mean propably damaged nand and only service center will help (maiboard replace).
There is an option to flash only param.fs file as pda but i never tried this metod.

Pit file could help when odin does not see the pit directly from the phone (and needed if you want to make repartition)
This does not seems to be the issue here...
Problem is that partitions are partially encrypted and unreadable (odin is reporting error when trying to start flashing firmware to nand). Repartitioning restores the default layout. After that partition should be formated to zero all data (only file table) to virgin state.
I'm not sure it will decrypt nand but its worth a try, doesn't it?
***
F.reset can be selected but not necessary while only pit flashing.

Hi All,
My phone is GT I9300 International Version,
ROM Installed before incident: one of the latest (past month) CM 10.1 nightly builds.
Woke up this morning and my phone was in download mode and my screen was like this and it kept rebooting:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Tried taking out the battery / reboot / connecting to usb problem persists the rom is not loading and bring you back to download mode with the white screen.
Tried to enter the following modes:
Recovery Mode: NO RECOVERY MODE, it enters back to the download mode.
Download Mode: when entering download mode the phone screen is black as it should be
Conclusion: DOWNLOAD MODE IS THE ONLY AVAILABLE MODE I HAVE !
So, i figured something probably have gone bad in the phone but it's fixable since i can still go into the download mode.
So i downloaded one of the stock roms from samsmobile and tried with odin
Odin 1.85/3.04/3.07 - Getting error messages:
every time i tried reflashing it has lost the driver connection and even though it showed "Added" in the ODIN sometimes it wouldn't pass the setup connection step, so everytime i had to reboot the phone in order for the connection to be properly initialized.

No Pit ? So i downloaded a PIT:

here is the odin output

and that's it it was just stuck like this forever...
I should mention that i tried different USB ports or even computers (all win7 64 bit) also tried runnning it(odin) with windows xp sp3 compatibility
usually when you start download mode and odin has started already you would see some kind of a progress bar on the actual phone,
that was missing as well...meaning the phone didnt seem to respond so far to the odin although it did shows sign of connectivity.
does anyone have a solution for this issue ???
Flashing Pit can kill your phone ..
But looks like your PIT was damaged anyway .
Solution is a service centre repair or buy a new motherboard .

Is this the famous MotherBoard Bug ? My version was 1.1
Anyhow, the download mode works its just you can't do anything with it because the its missing a pit file and can't upload one apparently ...
Anyone has a better suggestion about how to forcibly re-partition the drive ? and set the pit file ?
to me it sounds like a SD CARD issue and not a motherboard issue...
Does it show product name while in download mode? Or is it blank?
No its not SDS.
If you think its sd card then you are confused as NAND is part of the motherboard .
As you have no warranty then its certainly worth trying to repartition .
Sorry i don't know where the relevant post is .

Hi,
Nope it doesn't say the product name in that field, what does it mean ?
here is the out of that...
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME:
CUSTOME BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CUSTOME BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

its ok, thanks for the patience,
i thought the re-partitioning is related to the space allocation between the partitions.
but you right since its just a few kb file it can sit on the nand, and be flashed.
Just got the exact same problem, used cyanogenmod 10.1 for a long time. Last days it has been freezing all the time so i put MIUI on it and after an hour it died.
If your product name is blank in download then you have SDS, return to Samsung for warranty repair.
Try flashing any kernel in odin and than check result

The motherboard is blown, memory control chip is toast which probably explains the white lines.

Download Mode: when entering download mode the phone screen is black as it should be
Conclusion: DOWNLOAD MODE IS THE ONLY AVAILABLE MODE I HAVE !
So, i figured something probably have gone bad in the phone but it's fixable since i can still go into the download mode.
So i downloaded one of the stock roms from samsmobile and tried with odin
Odin 1.85/3.04/3.07 - Getting error messages:
every time i tried reflashing it has lost the driver connection and even though it showed "Added" in the ODIN sometimes it wouldn't pass the setup connection step, so everytime i had to reboot the phone in order for the connection to be properly initialized.

No Pit ? So i downloaded a PIT:
SGS3\GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit - this one fits the i9300 with 16gb according to what i searched and off course the model i own.
here is the odin output

and that's it it was just stuck like this forever...
I should mention that i tried different USB ports or even computers (all win7 64 bit) also tried runnning it(odin) with windows xp sp3 compatibility
usually when you start download mode and odin has started already you would see some kind of a progress bar on the actual phone,
that was missing as well...meaning the phone didnt seem to respond so far to the odin although it did shows sign of connectivity.
does anyone have a solution for this issue ???

You can try this solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6
Read and follow the instructions exactly. If it doesn't work then you'll need a new motherboard, there is no other software solution.
It's NAND problem and it's solved
Hi,
this happens when you tick by mistake NAND ERASE ALL in ODIN software (ver.3 and newer), and then is partition damaged or couldn't be restored as the device need. Or when the some apps has access to EFS folder or DEV folder. Could be damaged partition.
Problem is solved here: Boot logo not boot animations disappeared! - solution is here! :highfive:
Regards, Peter
P.S. In thread above I explain all and btw. I had white stripes before starting my tablet! Everything will great after rebooting but white strips stayed.
Hi guys:
I have a problem with my GT-I9305. Last week it showed me some messages about a Policy Update and an app trying to access files. I clicked on Upgrade and it said that I have the latest one. (words more than less). Friday morning it restarts itself and never passes the 1rst screen, the one saying Galaxy S III GT-I9305, not even the one saying Samsung.
So I went to Samsung Support in Melbourne and been told that main PCB is faulty and need to be replaced. But.... there is the reason of my post ... I found that I can enter download mode and even I tried to do a factory reset. But apparently NAND files are corrupted as the boot files are missing. (Images attached) I have errors like :
E:failed to mount / cache (no such file or directory)

}
Now , a faulty PCB won’t allow me accessing download mode or android factory reset / wipe options , I believe. (or want to believe)
So, is there a way to flash the whole thing and resuscitate my phone?
I tried to use Odin V1.85, V3.09, V3.10 with firmaware taken from sammobile for Australia Optus (as I bought the phone from them) I9305XXUENC2_I9305OPSENC3_I9305XXUENA2_HOME.tar.md5
It failed all times.
Some forums suggest me to flash the .pit file, but I can’t find the one corresponding to my phone.
So the thing is : can my phone be hard bricked and still give me the down load options ?
if No, How can I flash the NAND files
This is a Galaxy S III LTE for Australia, service provider Optus. I did not root it and it was using stock firmware with officials updates. and yes , of course it's out of warranty. (otherwise the guys in Samsung would put more effort in fixing it)
Model: GT-I9305
FCC ID : A3LGTI9305
SSN: -I9305GSMH
Any help is much appreciated.
Do anyone knows how to restore / flash the bootloader ?
That could take me in the right direction

Hey Jonathan, I haven't used a Samsung Device for a while as I moved on to use Sony devices, but I'm gonna try to help you out as you asked me on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61923100&postcount=149
Just give this a go.
Download this Vodafone firmware from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/50575/I9305XXUFOD3_I9305VNZFOD1_VNZ/
Follow the instructions you see on the bottom of the page that includes downloading Odin v.3.10.6. After that if it's failed again then re flash the firmware with Re-Partition ticked and pit file included. Find the attached pit file for I9305

Thanks for replying , I definitely will give it a go. :good:
By the way I notice you give me a link to New Zealand - Vodaphone Firmaware, but mine is an Australian - Optus. Would it work in the same way using the following firmware, given the same PIT file you mentioned ?

Yeah it doesn't matter, Except New Zealand firmware is newer and Android 4.4.4 Kit Kat while Optus firmware is Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. If you already downloaded the Optus firmware then don't waste your time downloading the NZ firmware. See if you can boot your phone after re-partitioning with .pit file

Give it a another go with old version of Odin 3.07 attached below, which is the last version I used with my S3. Try it with and without .pit . I'm afraid I can't think of anything other than hardware fault if it still fails after that. Also make sure Kies not running on background and Samsung USB drivers are installed. Good luck

Ohhh just remember, is there a way to do the same with an SD card?, I mean not using Oding?
Perhaps I could bypass the issue and install from the inside.

You could try.. But You need a custom recovery first such as CWM or TWRP.. Good luck
Well, all efforts were made to save the good old S3, RIP GT-i9305.
We had good times but you departed too early.
Kamalmawa thanks for your efforts.
AAAAND now I have a shiny new S5 $40 plan, 1 GB data. not too bad
During sending an SMS my phone hangs, and does not start anymore.
The phone is rooted. I tried to start recovery but nothing happens (Vol UP + Home + Power Key).
Odin is working by VOL Down + Home + Power Key, so i tried to flashTWRP recovery (https://dl.twrp.me/zerolte/twrp-3.0.2-0-zerolte.img.tar.html)

But I can still not start into Recovery(?)
I think the next steps is to try a full flash of complete image, right?
But can i download/backup some files from the phone without recovery, I don't want to loos all my data (if possible)
Are there any other procedures to try?
Best regards,
Tom
Now, I tried Smart Switch with recover option -> no success ;( Stuck on Samsung boot logo.
I think I need a new phone (any help?)
You can't backup anything without the phone on or recovery.
Try hold only POWER + VOL DOWN ONLY nothing else. This should force safe mode. If this doesn't boot up hold power and vol down again until it goes off then quickly switch to recovery mode combination. If this won't boot to recovery next thing is to flash stock firmware. But you will lose all data and it will flash a new recovery image.
What model is it and what region?
Thanks for your tips, unfortunatly it does not work -> Save mode also stuck on boot screen.
I also tried to flash stock firmware (G925FXXS4DPIF_G925FVFG4DPHB_G925FXXS4DPIF_HOME.tar) -> Same issue
Model: International Version: SM-G925F
Should I try to flash a new bootloader? Which one? What's about my EFS Backup?

Hi,
I did a lot of trying to get twrp installed.
After a while I followed a hint and it worked but I lost Magisk.
After installing Magisk I got a bootloop. Magiskuninstaller didn't work and all other methods I know also didn't help.
Now I have only twrp working and maybe that's the only possibility to install anything, because in ODIN I always get failures
e.g.
Trying to install bootloader:
<ID:0/007> abl.elf
<ID:0/007> xbl.elf
<ID:0/007> xbl_config.elf
<ID:0/007> FAIL! (Auth)
and
<ID:0/007> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/007> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/007>
<ID:0/007> Re-Partition operation failed.
or, when I tick Re-Partition in options
<ID:0/007> Can't open the specified file. (Line: 2006)
any help would be appreciated
Firstly, and please forgive me for nitpicking in your time of dread, if your device can power on it is not bricked, despite what so many uninformed folks say; "bricked" means there is no way to get it to even power on. And since I'm in 'education mode' there is no such thing as "soft brick"; it's like saying something is "kinda dead", and there is no such things as zombies irl.
Anyways, have you tried resetting the tab in recovery mode? Good instructions here:

I don't think I've had to use button combos while in TWRP, but their purpose is to *force* your device in to a certain state (in this case Recovery), no matter what state they are currently in. Usually in such cases where it looks like critical files or operations are messed up, common, and sound, advice is to get back to stock and then do, whatever.
Other than that, I'll have to defer to what others have to say. Good Luck!
or is there a way to do it via sideload?
it's totally crazy, nothing seemes to work
I was able to install stock boot image and stock recovery that I extracted from firmware that I downloaded from samfrew hopefully I could solve the problems with odin - but failed
I'm even not able to shut down the tablet when connected to powercable - there is a permanent bootloop
I was able to take some photos. Maybe someone will realize what else I could try to do. The large photo shows, what happened when I tried to sideload several versions of the downloaded firmware

I'm not an expert here by any means, but I think if you can get to fastboot/bootloader you can use ODIN to do a full restore. I would think you can also use fastboot to just restore the recovery partition as well.

Dear,
did you really read my post?
I need real, detailled help because I'm always getting errors in Odin.
I think Odin is no longer an option.
Mostly it ends with an FAIL! (Auth)
or Re-Partition operation failed
or, when I tick Re-Partition in options: <ID:0/007> Can't open the specified file. (Line: 2006)
I was so desperate that I was looking for a PIT-file, who knows wherefore, but no success.
I ticked and unticked I think every possible options in Odin, tried several releases of firmware with several releases of Odin-Software and also different twrp releases.
My last hope was my old notebook, as I read, that sometimes there are differences in behaviour between some PC, but failed again.
Maybe a detailed instruction how and what to sideload or another PIT-File (I found only this one: GTS6L_EUR_OPEN.pit)
Maybe that's the problem: I'm using German firmware with European PIT? But I couldn't find European firmware oder German PIT

Might want to use Frija to download the firmware. If ODIN is no longer an option, then all is lost. I highly doubt that is though. I've had issues with specific USB cables not working or a bad USB port. I wouldn't panic yet as TiTiB said. As long as you can get it to turn on and get to the bootloader, there should be a way to recover it.
Looks at the Tab 5Se, S10, note 10, etc threads on recoveries. The Tab S6 forums don't seem to be nearly as prolific as other forums.
I know you are at your wits end, but hang end there. Try using Frija to get the proper firmware. You might even try going back to the original or second release in August of last year. You key is going to be getting ODIN to do the work though. I also fine it ludicrous that the Samsung devices have so many different boot options using the keys. Evening the timing of pressing the buttons in a certain order is critical.

ok, I did, downloaded, flashed with the same disappointing result

If ODIN is no longer an option, then all is lost. I highly doubt that is though. I've had issues with specific USB cables not working or a bad USB port. I wouldn't panic yet as TiTiB said. As long as you can get it to turn on

I even cannot shut it down. That's what make me think, it's lost.

I didn't find any. In bootloader there should be a warning message first before entering, but there is none. And later some characters (a status message or something like that) on the top of the screen, but there is none.

All is not lost - If it powers on, it isn't bricked - Simply software malfunctioning. Would assume you've corrupted the system with Magisk, which means just flashing stock should fix it. No idea why Odin isn't working though, since you've already flashed back to stock recovery - Are you sure you have the correct Firmware? Your bootloader is probably locked again, so you won't be able to flash anything but stock.

I tried all available firmware versions with different odin releases. It's always the same:
<ID:0/010> Initialzation..
<ID:0/010>Set PIT file..
<ID:0/010> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/010> FAIL! (Auth)
<ID:0/010>
<ID:0/010> Re-Partition operation failed.
Trying to flash twrp recovery:

I really really would like to know where this FAIL! (Auth) comes from. But all google search brought solutions not fitting to my situation.
Few minutes ago it just let me flash TWRP_T865_3.3.1-9.tar without grumbling - but there is no twrp recovery, only stock

That's great news. Now I got one step further.
For the first time there are some characters on the screen. (see attached file)
... but FAIL! (Auth)
persists
when I tried flashing BL-File
That's great indeed.
Now we get down to the firmware issues...it appears you might have upgraded to a higher BL one which may not allow you to downgrade BL)...might I suggest you try a different firmware?
And you are also already OEM Unlocked, right?
Was this round one of flashing BL, or round two, as per my guide? Please PM me and lets troubleshoot that way rather...

display shows
FRP LOCK : OFF
OEM LOCK : OFF (U)
so I think I'm unlocked
I tried all German 4 firmware releases and I always failed in step 1
I got my device in november with october release and upgraded to december release
Here's the full log of Odin, it always shows the same result:

I think this is a TWRP issue then, and you can ask in the thread there...as far as I can recall with flashing TWRP, you must be quick again at first boot to NOT let the device boot fully...you need to boot directly into TWRP else the custom recovery won't stick...

Yes, I know. But I don't know what to do with twrp?
There seemes to be no operating system on the tab and there is no possibility to flash one from twrp. I flashed it just to see what would happen. It couldn't get worse.
What I need is a methode flashing by odin or something else with available firmware.
I only know odin. Is there something similar?

Sorry but I have to ask, why are you repartitioning anything? The only option you should touch in Odin from the options available on the left side of the screen is automatic reboot as far as I'm aware.
I would slow down and reread from the beginning.
1. Get all the correct firmware, double checking model and version numbers (is it SM-T860 or SM-T860N for example).
2. Prioritize your tasks and do them 1 at a time (get recovery working correctly, then install stock firmware, then if desired install TWRP OR root, one or the other, don't attempt to speed things up and try flashing 2 operations at once).
3. Reread what you are about to attempt before you start the process.
4. Don't try and improve on the instructions you are following, follow them exactly.
If you do the above I really can't see how you can go wrong.
Feel free to PM me any questions and if I can help I will.
Good luck brother
