Hey to my fellow people of earth !
My tablet suddenly not booting up properly ...
Every time when I use my tablet, I turn it on and when I finish to use it I turn it off (maybe it's the problem?!)
I don't use it too often ... Yesterday It worked normally and today I picked it up, turned it on and I've no fk'n idea why it got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy TAB S3" logo.. so I tried to do something to make it work...
I tried to go to recovery mode (Home+V up+Power) and since then It always says on the top left corner with a blue color "RECOVERY BOOTING...." and it not get into the ASR (android system recovery)
Then I tried to flash an official firmware Android version 8.0.0 from Germany and it didn't work too...
I tried to flash an old firmware version 7 and I got a failed massage on Odin and FRP block something like that.. on my tablet.
ohh yeah I just remembered that I tried to update it with Kies and Smart Switch
and of course.. I got a "SAMSUNG not supporting this device..." massage.. (Son of a..)
I have no idea what do....
I can't root it 'cause I can't change the OEM and the USB debugging..
I can't even put any file on it since I cant turn it on..
Indeed it's a Weird situation guys.
Someone ?

I have some questions to help me understand your problem.
You can boot into download (Odin) mode?
When you tried to flash the stock firmware what version of Odin did you use and what were the errors you got when you tried to flash it.
I haven't used the stock recovery for awhile on the tab so could you remind me what happens when you try to get into recovery? Does it look like a dead Android?
@jd1639
Hi.
Yes, I can boot into download mode.
I used Odin3_v3.13.3.
When I tried to flash the stock firmware (T820XXU3BSD1_T820DBT3BSD1_Germany_8.0.0_4)
I got an error massage. Fail massage on Odin and block massage by FRP on my Tablet.
When I try to get into recovery mode, I don't see a dead Android. I just see on the top left corner of the tablet
with blue color a "RECOVERY BOOTING...." massage.

This is what I would do:
Download the firmware again, sometimes you get a bad download.
Try different USB cables, and if your using a PC use the ports on the back, not the ones on the front. Odin can be sensitive to cables and ports.
In Odin flash the BL, AP, and CSC. Don't use the CSC Home. Also, don't have re-partition checked.
Did you ever enable developer mode and enable OEM unlock in it? You'd do this through settings, about tablet, system software and tapping on the build number 7 times.

That's the problem, I can't enable developer mode and enable OEM so because of that I always get an error on my Tablet.
I'll try your method tomorrow, Hope it'll work :good:
@jd1639
OK.
I tried to flash two different firmware.
1) T820XXU3BSD1_T820DBT3BSD1_Germany_8.0.0_4File
2) T820XXU1ARA1_T820OXA1ARA1_BTU
When I flashed to first one, I got a pass installation on Odin and my Tablet did a reboot but it still stuck on bootloop and it shows a blue massage on the top left corner.
But, the second one gave me a fail massage on Odin and on my Tablet I got also something like that.

I think you have to wait for 7 full days (168h) 'cos you got locked outside your phone. Read https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series-2017/how-to/guide-root-install-twrp-samsung-t3747535

Got? I have the same mistake
Had a similar problem with my T820, sorry I haven't found a solution as yet. One day the tablet went to a black screen, frozen. After a full charge was able to soft-reset and it booted fine, but decryption took ages, and then on PIN security screen the tablet was locked.
Booted into recovery, and tried to do a factory reset - but there are messages about missing partitions, so the delete starts, but never finishes.
Finally, downloaded official roms for v9 and v8 - but the odd thing, in Odin (re-partition unchecked) if I use default CSC (not CSC Home) it fails when trying to remove userdata. If I use CSC Home, then it passes but on reboot it goes into recovery and a blue "erasing screen" appears, and just endlessly tries to erase until the battery is flat.
Other similarity... region is Germany, so could there have been an update which has bricked devices here? Any advice appreciated... should I try using re-partition in Odin as well, as there could be some partitioning based on the error messages?
Get the tablet into recovery mode (power+vol UP+home), then select the option to wipe data/cache.
Then boot the tablet into download mode (power+vol DOWN+home)
In ODIN, only load the AP and BL files. Nothing else. Then start the process. DO NOT load the CSC or HOME CSC files.
I was having the same issue for almost a year. I gave up for 6+ months. Then I spent the last couple days trying to get the unit out of the boot loop it was stuck in (Samsung S3 start screen shows, then it attempts to go to the recover mode screen, then turns off, then turns back on and repeats the process until the battery died). I tried to reload the firmware through ODIN (either 3 or all 4 files) but the tablet would fail to install the "update" once it restarted. It would fail at 32%. I read someone else in this forum only loaded the AP and BL files and ended up working. Make sure your tablet is fully charged.

Thanks for the reply, having spent many more hours on this I'm pretty sure it's a fault in the actual memory. It comes down to the userdata.img...
I've tried with Odin 3.13 the following
- re-partition: same issue, it fails when flashing userdata.img
- re-partition + nand erase... here it gets interesting, as it fails just as it starts, and on the tablet it displays "erasing userdata", so it seems even with nand erase set, the tablet refuses the clear this data. It also would explain why after a flash with HOME_CSC (which succeeds because it doesn't have a userdata.img) the boatloader goes into an erase loop, as it's probably trying to clear userdata.
I've got no idea what could cause this, corrupt memory chips? or just buggy buggy software - but I'm guessing Samsung really don't care too much and don't need to since all devices are out of warranty. Shame really!

A couple of weeks ago, i found a video titled: <<34C3 - eMMC hacking, or: how I fixed long-dead Galaxy S3 phones>>
This guy made an SD Card with a code inside, and basically "revived" a dead Galaxy S3. He also explains that eMMC is the one at fault if your phone is stuck in bootloop. Now i don't know anything about how this works, I whish i could just knew how to alter his code, I'll try to text him and tell him if it's possible to try it on my Tab S3, since i have literally tried everything to revive it.
If any1 here knows how to do it, pls pls pls help us out!!!!
I might be late for the party but i got the same issue out of no where, sent it to Samsung and they called me saying they need to replace the PCB (Main Board) guess what, in the last 2 years they replaced it twice coz i had a wifi not turning on at all. Now they wanna charge me 250$ , guess i am happy now coz i am getting rid of this garbage tab never seen a laggy piece of **** like it and nothing came out of but headaches.
My 5 years old ipad air 2 running like a champ since day one until today, not showing any sign of aging and still getting updates.
Tbh, i think the worst devices samsung ever had gets the number 3. Tab S3 and the Galaxy S3.
My advice to anyone who read this, save your time and money, never buy android tabs especially Samsung, spend a few more bucks and get the ipad which will last forever. PS: Without mentioning the huge gab of performance as IpadOS beats the **** out of any android tab

THIS WILL FIX YOUR ISSUE AS I WENT THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEM YOU ARE EXPERIENCING.
WARNING IT WILL DELETE YOUR DATA. IF YOUR DATA IS IMPORTANT FIND ANOTHER MEANS...
You MUST have Kies full installed on the desktop/laptop and make sure you're updated to the latest version.
1) Boot your note into download mode(hold down volume button at the same time as the power button, let go of power button when you feel
your phone vibrate but keep holding down button until you see a prompt to push up volume button to continue or down volume button to
cancel, hit the up button your are now in download mode.)
2) Connect your Note to the laptop with factory USB cable
2) Launch Kies on your desktop (full version)
4) Choose Tools, Firmware upgrade & initialization
a) While in download mode, pull battery and enter the S/N & model name (ALL CAPS!!)
b) It will prompt to initialize to original settings. Click "YES"
c) It will prompt to initialize the latest version. Click "YES"
d) It will download the firmware upgrade components (DO NOT DISCONNECT THE DEVICE!!)
5) It will prompt for firmware upgrade and initialization.
a) Click check box for reading above information
b) Click your choice if you want your information saved on Samsung Kies corporate servers (I choose WITHOUT saving).
Just kick back, wait and the phone will update to the original out of box software with the latest updates already applied. No issue with anything, no tripping of the flash counter, and Samsung/AT&T knows now different (if you tripped the counter back before performing this, or performed the process of installing CWM recovery through ADB as to NOT trip the flash counter when changing recovery).
This is the EXACT process I did, and had an AT&T tech verify and it's not detectable I was rooted, and was running a custom ICS ROM. Now, I will qualify that I DID the Recovery installation with ADB so that I didn't trip the counter with the Recovery installation. So if they are able to check the binary information to detect modification even with flash counter reset, that's out of my hands and can't confirm or deny.
You may have to do this process multiple times for it to work.
It worked 1st time for me but another guy had to do it 10 times!

Yes more then likely. I had the same problem when rooting, I used the fix I provided then tried rooting and got the same issue.
So I fixed again and then used another rooting method. Sorry but I cannot remember what rooting methods I used. You gotta
do some homework and find another root method. Put in the time it will pay off! Good Luck
You don't root with Odin. You flash cwm with Odin then flash super user with cwm to gain root. Or just flash a ROM with cwm and you'll be rooted.
You don't need kies at all.
Download the proper Odin stock package for your phone. Then put your phone in download mode, flash that with Odin. Once that finishes you'll be stock and no root. Find the Odin flashable cwm package. Flash that with your phone in download mode. Then put a ROM on your internal storage, reboot into cwm, and flash the ROM. You'll have a better experience than stock, and it will be rooted.
And don't worry about the flash counter. No reason to. People have gotten warranty exchanges no problem with their counter tripped. As of right now neither ATT nor Samsung care that it's tried so long as you go back to stock before you exchange.
And please, read a bunch. As much as you can. It's not hard to learn the process I just described. And it will Dave you from future issues like you're experiencing.

Hey a little help here. I have this issue right now after trying to root. I am following the directions on this post to go back to the official firmware but i'm having a problem locating the S/N. This is a replacement phone i got out of warranty last week. I was able to root/unroot my old phone but that was still in GB b/c I didn't update it due to the bugs in ICS. Well this one already had ICS and now I'm having a ****load of problems.
The only numbers I see on the phone behind battery is the

problems with flashing
Hello.My phone died mysteriously one night and won't boot into normal android system as it used to. I tried to do firmware emergency recovery in kies, but it remains stuck at 3%. I also tried do flash stock rom through odin, but it always stuck at system.img.ext4. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hello All!
My first post here, even though I have long been a lurker. I hope I'm posting in the right place. If not, apologies, and Mods - please redirect me, and I shall re-post in the correct place.
Phone: SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 GT-I9300 International version
Last known installed/running OS: Official SAMSUNG JB ROM (Unsure WHICH version) after having run on CM 4.4 for a couple of weeks.
PROBLEM:
a few months after going back to stock, Phone suddenly developed issues of random reboots. These would happen at any point in time, with no predictability whatsoever. One fine day, it rebooted, and wouldn't get past the Samsung splash screen. Pulling the battery and trying to restart phone resulted in the same stuck at Samsung logo issue.
Left the phone alone for a couple of months after this as I had a spare, but finally decided to try and revive the S3.
Phone does not charge when connected to charger. At least, it shows no visible signs of it. It DOES, however, try booting itself when plugged in, but gets stuck on the first screen of ODIN Download mode, instead of the Samsung logo splash screen as it used to earlier. Also note that this screen it gets stuck on is a pixellated screen, not the clear normally seen screen when entering ODIN mode.
The Vol UP, Home and power button combo brings me to this very same screen, there is no recovery menu to be seen, as would be normally. The Vol DOWN, Home and power button combo brings me to the regular clear ODIN mode as usual.
The headings at this screen read:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
I have read through most posts regarding similar issues on XDA as well as other forums, and tried flashing stock firmwares (single AND multiple part ones) through ODIN, with no success. The error i always get is as in the attached screen captures.
I've tried ALL versions of ODIN, and many PIT files. All were failures.
So, is this a dead for all purposes phone, or do I still have hope since ODIN mode is still available?
I don't think USB debugging was checked before bricking, because ADB toolkits just keep waiting for phone to be detected.
All drivers are up to date and installed correctly. Kies is not installed.
Any help is welcome.
@Mohanms04: if you flash a 3part-PIT, what result views ODIN after finishing?
I have a Device here which seems to have the same or at least a similar problem, however, i got it for free from someone else to experiment with, so there is no urgent need to repeir it.
I tried flashing a pit and erasing nand, but when i start to do it, odin just gets stuck at "erasing", if i try to flash a full firmware it just hangs at "getting pit for mapping" so i assume the nand is gone for good... however, i have one more dead s3 arround that seems to have a burned cpu, probably i manage to solder over the nand or the cpu

ODIN stays at "Setup Connection" without any progress. I've left it overnight a few times, just to ensure I was giving it enough time.
When the cable is pulled, it reads "there is no pit partition"

Hey everyone,
Please to be here and ever since I changed from Iphone to an Android, I am reading, flashing and trying new things with my device.
Unfortunately, I already came accross the biggest problem which you can have and I have no Idea what to do, nor do I find anything about this topic in the internet.
My Problem:
I flashed a developer version of the new Lollipop OS on the Phone, which did not really work... So I wanted to go back to KitKat 4.4.4 but also this didnt work and I tried a lot but as this developer version was very unstable, I couldnt install a custom recovery so I was stuck.
After a while I was so frustrated so I did the following:
First: I followed the instructions like in this FAQ to install the Kitkat version, which worked fine ainotech.com / how - to - flash - lenovo-s90 -sisley-root- and-custom-firmware (I added some spaces as i am a new user in here)
2. After I was so frustrated, I went into the bootloader mode, so I got access to the Com-ports
3. There I applied the bootloader unlock "trick" using QFIL and I hit the download button, after that the phone switched off and now is only vibrating shortly every 5 sec quickly.
I can plug it on the USB or on the charger, I can press buttons long or what so ever, but it does not switch on nor does it get recognised by the PC... NOTHING!
So any suggestions what I could do?
Thanks
did u try turn on your phone with volume up key pressed together with power button and go into recovery mode?
if u can enter recovery mode then u can flash any firmware using qfil from there.

Dear lawong,
Yes I tried everything like that but I think I hard pricked it.
Worst part for me is, that even after uninstalling all USB drivers, the phone still did not get connected nor detected by the computer.
have u already tried to charge your phone like 5hours+++ and then try once again plug in to your laptop ?
im bricked my s90 before when upgrading to lollipop and then downgrading back to kit kat , but manage to unbricked it with flashing full kitkat firmware using qfil.
well . i manage to super hard bricked my s90 with flashing s90t firmware to my s90a ,at fisrt its stuck in lenovo logo ,no recovery ,then after playing with emmc software download its completely dead. black screen with long vibrate. after a lot of trying. only one tools that really revive back my s90 to its fully fnctional. its called "miflash"
Can you send the thread how to fixed by miflsh tool

After a while I was so frustrated so I did the following:
First: I followed the instructions like in this FAQ to install the Kitkat version, which worked fine ainotech.com / how - to - flash - lenovo-s90 -sisley-root- and-custom-firmware (I added some spaces as i am a new user in here)
2. After I was so frustrated, I went into the bootloader mode, so I got access to the Com-ports
3. There I applied the bootloader unlock "trick" using QFIL and I hit the download button, after that the phone switched off and now is only vibrating shortly every 5 sec quickly.
I can plug it on the USB or on the charger, I can press buttons long or what so ever, but it does not switch on nor does it get recognised by the PC... NOTHING!
So any suggestions what I could do?
Thanks

Hello everyone!
I have the same problem as lawong with my S90U(2Gb). Phone after switching has a long vibration, then switches to 9006.
Was flashed it using MiFlash and QFIL in the instructions (the phone disassembled) - in the end two results:
1) logo for a long period of vibration, 9006 with many disks;
2) the logo, cyclic restart.
A few times the phone was even launched, the firmware was working correctly, IMEI is not lost. But after shutting down or restarting all over again.
I think it's not hardware. Otherwise most likely would have been problems in the flashing process and I think I wouldn't be able to run it a few times.
I have the feeling that something goes wrong while loading.
lawong, what firmware you have restored your phone using MiFlash?
In the firmware that I found for QFIL missing files .bat and there are a lot of images .img - As in the screenshot.

I am somewhat a new Android user, (considering I received mine around July 2015). Anywho, about two weeks ago I decided to root my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime device using the, "KingRoot" app by, Kingxteam, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=6674985). Upon today, I wanted to restart my phone since it was starting to lag a bit; but once the logo popped up upon restart, it said the following:
Custom binary blocked by FRP.
SECURE FAIL: KERNEL

At first, I thought I had nothing to worry about since I could reformat/reset my device; but that didn't work.. After that, I tried looking through a bunch of forums and YouTube videos; but none of them seem to work out for me..
Skimming through videos, there was one particular method that seemed close, and that was called, "Odin". During the process I've been trying to find the MetroPCS firmware for my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime, (Model SM-G360T1). (MetroPCS is currently my cellular/mobile carrier for my phone). Unfortunately, the only firmware I could find was the T-Mobile U.S. firmware.. :crying: Anyone know where I can find the MetroPCS firmware? Please, let me know ASAP! :fingers-crossed:
FRP lock, also known as Factory Reset Protection lock, is a new security feature for devices running Android operating system 5.1 and higher. This new feature is designed to prevent unauthorized factory reset or software modification of a device without a user’s permission. This feature uses the registered Google account on the device as the verification measure to check if the software modification being done is authorized or not. That your device shows the “Custom Binary block by FRP lock” error means that there is a Google account logged in. FRP feature is only enabled if a Google account is present on the device. It also means that the phone you are working on have screen lock feature enabled. Your device should have prompted you to enter the correct lock screen as well as your Google account credentials to perform a factory reset or software modification in the first place. Did you do this? If the phone didn’t prompt you to enter your Google account credentials, try to call Samsung and ask them for more direct assistance regarding this new FRP lock feature. Or your can visit Samsung’s site to know more about it.
or try reflash with odin the original firmware http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G360T1/TMB/
or https://www.metropcs.com/contact-us.html
Alright, thank you! I'll report back once I've tried all the things you've given out. One question though. If I try and reflash with the original firmware, will I be able to change the mobile phone carrier/provider? I checked the firmware file, and it says, "T-Mobile". Will this affect my SIM Card that's on my device in any way? If not, am I able to change to my phone carrier? I originally had MetroPCS before this error happened..
Same problem; different device
I have a Samsung Tab E running Android 5.1.1 and today, after using it for a week or so, suddenly the same error message occurred. In my case, I also used a KingRoot app but the tablet appears to be rooted only after the app does its thing; after it is shut off and started, it is not rooted again. I turned on developer tools and set USB debugging to on. Other than that, all apps downloaded, installed and uninstalled where from Google Play Store. I don't think anything I did qualifies as illegal software. Even if that was true, I would expect the device to no longer qualifier for warranty but not locked out from it.
The tablet was being set up as an Christmas present for my 75 year old mother-in-law and I was trying to resolve one last issue to allow me to use my laptop and remotely control her tablet using TeamViewer (the "recent" icon would not work). I'll assume I set up a Google account for her when the setup wizard did it's thing. I had a security pin set up but removed it and set the device to have "no security". I planned on setting up the pin again after she received the device, started up TeamViewer and I had her WiFi connection working. I had considered doing a factory reset and went down the settings path up to the point to read what a factory reset would do but decided it probably wasn't going to do anything and exited. No factory reset was done.
So, reading above, the FRP lockout requires a "Google account logged in"; what exactly does that mean? I didn't sign into any account intentionally. The device never prompted be for any account credentials.
Any advice as to how to proceed would be appreciated. I guess the good news is that I at least registered the device with Samsung and, since it is only a week or so old, maybe return it to BestBuy and see if I can swap it out with a new one and start over(?).

My phone did somewhat a similar reaction too. Every time I would restart it up, my phone wouldn't be rooted anymore, and I had to root it again with the KingRoot app. Anyways, I think what it means by a "Google account logged in" is the Google account you used when you had to first set-up the Android device.

OK, thank you. I'll report back
It works! ;D
Thanks a lot linus2014! :laugh: You really helped me out here in this type of situation! After it successfully booted up my phone, the center of it said, "MetroPCS" with the following slogan at the bottom saying, "Riding on the Nationwide Network T-Mobile".. This whole time I've been trying to find the so called, "MetroPCS" firmware. But after some research, MetroPCS integrated with T-Mobile.. :silly: Sorry for my ignorance.. XD Thank you once again! :victory::angel:

well, if you want please click through to your right
Which
I got up to the point to select the firmware file but in the list of countries there is no USA listed. There are numerous different files listed so I don't know which file to select.
The tablet screen says "do not turn off target"; I have the tablet hooked up to the laptop so I hope it is charging.

well this is becoming quite a ride. thanks to edgardo uchiha i was able to root my sch-i545. then i screwed it up with an improper mod. finally got it back into download mode after several attempts with the phone's buttons and seemed like i was back in rooted vrugoc1 state. then when i restarted it today it said no longer rooted. so i tried to reroot and upon reboot it is now stuck on verizon logo. really want to get this thing in a state that wont cause problems if possible ? being a verizon pos.

Do a battery pull, then once the phone is off, go into download mode. Then flash stock OF1 with odin (this may take while). After you have successfully booted, root again.
thanks for the tip. like you said time involved due to size of the rom which is downloading now. will try and let you know if it does the trick.
nope pretty sure no go .... let it sit for an hour and no reboot. if it takes longer than that id be surprised. anyone want a pos verizon s4 chunk? what is the hangup on this part?

What part of the process did it not boot? Flashing stock OF1?
will try again overnight just in case that wasnt long enough. will reply may be as late as monday after the jig comes in the mail. gonna try different options until i get this thing. trying everything possible to not have to send it in to the shop.

I just had to flash the stock OF1 using Odin3 v1.85. Newest version of Odin would not work for me. I was stuck on the Custom boot screen but was able to get to download mode. I could flash OC1 & OF1 using Odin3 v3.10.7 but the phone would hang on the boot screen. Not sure what version of Odin your using but maybe this helps you.
thanks for the odin 1.85 tip. how long does it take to flash such a large 2gb+ file ? it just seemed that an hour would be long enough to flash so i stopped the process after it seemed to me to hang on odin last line says aboot.mbn. but im gonna let it go overnight just to let it go if it needs that long on the older odin like you said.
still no luck on getting s4 to load past the verizon logo
cant find odin 1.85 without warnings saying this requires a subscription and then those links cause my pc to say this site is loaded with trojans. isnt there a trustable link to download files? just tried again with odin3.10.6 and stock oc1 using my new jig and still no reboot of the phone even after waiting an hour . so i either get no reboot with the large rom file or it reboots but hangs on the verizon logo on the small rom file. its frustrating to not see a progress bar during flash to know if it is doing anything especially on these huge full stock rom files. and i think i may be using the wrong button in odin. shouldnt i be using bl on these full stock oc1 and of1? for me i dont know enough to just grab any version of odin and any version of rom and hit the buttons and know it will work. so kinda back to square 1 on knowing what to do now.
still hangs on verizon logo more on whats goin on
went on YT and found a good 1.85 link and it showed the blue progress bar. mine does not move. glad there is one but sad mine sits. here is a link to my dropbox screen snip of failed attempt to flash fullstock of1 using odin1.85 as described above. it failed quickly in just a few seconds it didnt sit there and try for awhile.

one last point about how i may be doing this wrong : i pulled sim and sd card both is that part of the problem?
decided to go back to an angle i gave up a week ago. that was for a couple of days at boot attempts the phone would stop at a screen saying the following : " startup fail! run verizon software repair assistant..." when trying that on my desktop the repair galaxys4 button is grayed out until i put it in download mode and it takes about 10-15 sec to turn red . all looks good until 83% +/- when it says "unable to complete repair because phone was disconnected. try repair again do not unplug phone until repair is complete. obviously i didnt unplug it but something is going wrong. maybe its the same thing that is happening when i try to flash the stock of1 rom and cant complete as described above. just wish it was known what that is causing disconnection....
just so everyone knows who may see this ** i sold the stupid i545 to someone on swappa! ** thank you swappa another successful sale!
and thank you buyer for taking it off my hands i lost only a few bucks. then i turned right around and got an att model sgh-i337 on kitkat for a little less than what i bought the i545 and a little more than i sold it for. so im good again & will be on that forum learning that model. to the moderator this can close.
