Hello everyone,
I was originally on stock 4.3 rom.
I wanted to unlock my ATT Galaxy note 2 so I downgraded to 4.1.1, went to service menu and did the unlock, and it was fine. I then decided to do an update through att servers, which it downloaded and installed. However, after installing, it rebooted to the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen, and won't go past that.
I decided to put the 4.1.1 rom that worked on it via odin, and this installed fine, but it still wouldn't go past the "Samsung Galaxy note II" screen.
I then proceeded to using Samsung Kies and did Emergency Recovery. It downloads 4.1.2 firmware on my computer, but when it comes time to put it on to my Galaxy note 2, the phone (in download mode of course) reads at the top "unsupported version" , and kies on my computer tells me "the installation failed due to the samsung sgh-i317 device. Please contact Samsung Services if this problem proceeds."
I did notice however, after using kies, even though it fails, and pressing the power button the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" logo screen does not appear, and the phone just show the screen that says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again". I then decided to put the 4.1.1 again thinking that maybe this time it will work, but nope just goes back to "samsung galaxy note II" screen and does nothing. Now, I can use kies to go back to "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again" or use the 4.1.1 to go back to "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen and just sit there.....
I don't care about unlocking the phone or not anymore. I don't care about having custom rom or anything. All I want is the original Stock rom 4.3 from AT&T. Can anyone please help me?????
Also, I have been using odin 3.7, the rom that i used that worked (the 4.1.1) is called: KIES_HOME_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_215287_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5
my phone reads this in download mode:
Odin mode
Product Name: SGH-I317

Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom

RP SWREV: A2
Got same problem
I am in the same boat. I got OTA to 4.3 and I went and downgraded to 4.1.1 to unlock and update and got stuck with error. Can't restore or do anything with the phone now. In ODIN, it got stuck with sboot.bin. It stuck at bootloader.
Thanks.

same thing happened to my note 2 i317. it was running on 4.4.2, downgrade it to 4.1.1, successfully unlock it. but my son tried to update it ota. now its stuck on Samsung logo and won't get to recovery mode. I tried flashing the 4.1.1 firmware again but it just won't pass the Samsung logo and cant get it to recovery mode. please help me
For unlock i371 we have 2 ways:
1)If your phone have 4.1.2 or less you jast need to try unlock codes:
*#197328640#
Select [1] UMTS > [1] Debug Screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] Network Lock > Options [3]Perso SHA256 OFF >After choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds.
Then go back one step by pressing the Menu button and then select Back.
This will take you to [6] Network Lock options
Choose [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ
Wait for a minute then reboot your phone.
Insert a SIM Card from a non-AT&T carrier
IF it not help to you, you need downgroad FW.
2) if you have 4.2.2 or more(4.3, 4.4.2.)
You need to wach this video and unlock your device! youtube.com/watch?v=KVrhNO__9JY
You need downgroad MODEM FW(NOT ANDROID VERSION!!!) and use *#197328640# from 1 step.
Have fun!
thank u very much

Hi,
First thanks for joining me. My concern is about my Tab 10.1 Samsung GT-N8000 / Note800, my warranty got over 2 months back. I tried to start my tab one morning and it got stuck on Samsung logo, then I tried to get into programming mode by volume dn + power it gave me a screen downloading and is stuck on that since then, the status shows as below
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME GT-N8000
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
With this the rest screen shows "Downloading....do not turn off target!!"
It remains stuck to this for days; on reboot a plain whit screen shows some times with colored dots and sometimes just white. I have gone to service centre they say it’s a mother board & screen issue to me its sounds senseless. I have never tried any update or ODIN please suggests I am stuck up.
Same issue here, if i try flashing a new version of android onto the device through Odin, I get a missing PIT file message. The phone wont connect through Kies either, just stays on connecting.
Hello, so I recently rooted and flashed CM 10.2 on my Galaxy Ace 2 and it can't see the sim card, and I can't call to anyone (it says turn off airplane mode before you want to make a call, even if it's turned off). How do I get back to stock ROM with no root? When I go to download mode it goes straight to ODIN MODE ; CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (1 counts); CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM. And my phone doesn't show up in emergency recovery table. It says: "device not responding, to resolve the issue, reboot the device). Pls help
Hello dear users of xda.
I have read alot of threads on several forums to find a fix for my broken phone, since I am hoping that the problem is caused by the software, rather than the hardware.
Sadly I was not able to find the fix yet and therefor you guys are my last shot at this issue. This account is also freshly registered, so I will not be able to post any links or images to help you guys out understanding what happened ... so please just bear with me here
Since I am from Germany I hope you can also excuse small mistakes regarding my writing in this thread. Thank you in advance
Lets dive right into this with a few details:
Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925F)
Never rooted, flashed -> always official updates
Android 7 was up to date
Phone has no branding or any kind of simlock
What happened:
My phone was turned off a few days ago when I woke up. Since I always charge it over night it couldnt be out of power and that confused me.
I then pressed the On/Off-Button to start it and the phone booted up.
But the boot did get stuck on the Samung logo-animation. I mean the animation which is usually displayed after the big "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge powered by Android".
I waited a minute or something and nothing happened, it seemed like the boot froze up and I turned it off.
When I booted it up again the samsung animation would not even finish and then freeze up. The animation is displaying the letters from left to right and it froze this time displaying only "Samsu".
After that I plugged the phone back into the wall to charge and went to the PC to google this issue. The phone displayed around 25% battery when I plugged it in.
So apparently it was not charging this night?
Anyways ... after googling and not finding any similiar problems I tryed to boot with Safe Mode ( holding Volume Down + On/Off Button .... no success) and then downloaded Samsung Switch and all drivers needed to get a device connected to the PC.
I connected the phone to the PC with an original Samsung cable and Samsung Switch was not showing anything until I entered the Download Mode on my phone by pressing Volume Down + Home + On/Off.
Then Samsung Switch displayed that the connected device was not compatible (even though it meets all requirements).
I went to the device manager to make sure that the drivers are working and the phone indeed was showing up in the list. It also disappeared properly when I unplugged it from the PC.
After that I again tryed out to boot the phone several times. It would always freeze up anywhere within that Samsung animation.
Not knowing what to do I thought an factory reset might help out and I pressed Volume Up + Home + On/Off for several seconds when the phone was turned off.
Nothing happened. I could only boot up the phone by pressing the On/Off button alone and by doing that it always froze up. Just the Download-Mode was accessable (Volume Down + Home + On/Off).
Since I had no way to recover or reset anything by using Samsung Switch or the Recovery Mode I decided to flash an official Samsung rom on the device using ODIN.
I downloaded the following:
Odin ( v3.12.3 )
Firmware ( G925FXXU5EQK8_G925FDBT5EQK1_G925FXXU5EQKF_HOME.tar.md5 // from a german android forum, information below )
FIRMWARE INFORMATION
Model: SM-G925F
Model name: Galaxy S6 edge
Country: Germany (DBT)
Version: Android 7.0
Changelist: 10958180
Build date: Thu, 09 Nov 2017 10:08:50
Android security patch level: 2017-11-01
Product code: DBT
PDA: G925FXXU5EQK8
CSC: G925FDBT5EQK1
When I connected the phone Odin was recognizing the device and I was able to flash the firmware successfully. Odin did not display any kind of errors.
After the flash the phone was still connected to the PC since I feared it would run out of power. I know that the first boot after a flash can take a while. Since the LED was flashing while the big "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge" logo was displayed I thought it was doing something in the background. I kept it like this (big logo, LED flashing, plugged into the PC) for over an hour and nothing did change. The device was warm but I doubted that it's doing anything since one hour for a boot, even after flashing, is way too long.
After that hour I turned it off and it instantly started to boot up again, but this time and all the other times after that it kept getting stuck at the big logo. It did not proceed into the animation like before.
I tested if I could enter the Recovery Mode at this point but it still was only able to get into the Download Mode.
The only way to stop it from trying to boot now was to get into that Download Mode, else it would just keep looping around, but not turn off by its own.
Every now and then, instead of displaying the big logo, it showed a blue screen with a yellow warning sign and the android mascot laying on the ground with "No command" beneath it. If you want to see how it looks you can google images "android 7.0 no command" and look for the full blue screen pictures.
Googling this blue screen with no command said that it can be easily fixed by wiping the data/cache from your device. But as I said the recovery mode was not showing up when I pressed the buttons for it. So a friend of mine suggested using ADB or fastboot to wipe the cache / dalvik cache.
Using both (ADB + fastboot) the device was not detected. We made sure that the drivers were installed properly. There was and there still is no way to connect to the phone with these both tools. Sadly.
After the first try of using ADB/fastboot we decided that the issue might have been the firmware I downloaded in the beginning and we used SamFirm (v0.3.6) to download the newest firmware for my SM-G925F ( G925FXXU5EQK8_G925FDBT5EQK1_G925FXXU5EQKF_HOME.tar.md5 )
This firmware appears to be the same as the one I downloaded before, but this one was slightly bigger.
This is a paste of the SamFirm window:

The flash was again successfull and still the same problem remained: no full boot.... sometimes a blue no command mascot.
After that we flashed again but with another PIT file attached. At first we got an error after the hidden.img but after changing the PIT file to this one ( ZEROLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN300M ) it worked again without any errors displayed by Odin. Apparently the PIT file we used at first did not have enough space for our hidden.img ...
We flashed that firmware several times and sometimes after the flash there would be a blue screen with an android mascot saying it is erasing, but the animation of that mascot freezes also after 10 to 20 seconds. I've kept the phone in this blue screen for several hours (up to 5h I think) since a few forum threads said that it sometimes takes very long to work and the LED was actually flashing all the time, but nothing changed.
We did not try to flash anything else because the Reactivation Lock is enabled and I have no idea how to turn this thing off w/o booting the device.
I would not mind flashing a custom firmware on the device as long as it just works again. So if this is somehow possible and might be a solution I am up for it.
What currenctly is going on with the phone:
· It only turns completly off when the power runs out.
· No button combination is working to turn it off.
· I can enter Download Mode easily but I can not enter the Factory Reset Mode.
Within the Download Mode it says:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SM-G925F
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Reactivation Lock: On
Secure Download: Enabled
KNOX Warranty Void: 0 (0x0000)
RP SWREV: B:5 K:2 S:2
· The boot ends either up with showing an "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge powered by Android" logo for the whole time (kept it like that for several hours, no boot)
· or with a blue screen (yellow warning sign, android mascot laying on the ground and a "no command" beneath it).
· Odin is recognizing it as a device.
· The device manager is recognizing the device.
· Samsung Switch is saying the device is not compatible.
· ADB/fastboot can not detect the device.
So ... is it possible to get this damn thing to work again or is it gone for good?
If you still got any questions regarding the current state of the phone please ask. I will try to reply ASAP.
Thank you very much for any reply you guys might throw at me.
It sounds like a hardware fault and your phone is kaput.
Interesting.I would love to open the phone to inspect it

If your not bothered about tripping knox (0x1) and voiding your warranty you can flash twrp recovery. Then wipe from there or flash a custom ROM. This way we can know for sure if it's software or hardware issue.

Thanks for that reply.
Sadly I can not flash twrp recovery because of that Reactivation Lock ... and I do not know how to deactivate it at the current state of the phone
Is there a way to workaround that lock?
same here lol. but even twrp recovery cannot run LOl, sammy charged me as U$$ 700 to repair,
of course i did not let them repair, and now i have a dead phone, that only goes to download mode, and the bootlogo with glitches
What if you get a stock ROM and flash it via Odin, if your phone goes to Download Mode...? I didnt totally understand your situation but that came to my mind, flashing stock firmware via Odin.
EDIT: Just went through your SITUATION a bit, you should get it inspected by someone and then decide, otherwise you might lose your phone permanently.
Same here
Same here.... But with s6....
Only download mode. Not even a bootlogo. No recovery... Tried flashing literally everything. is it possible to flash a custom Rom with Odin? Convert a rom.zip t a tar file? I tried flashing cf-root but I don't know if it's rooted...
Hey guys,
I got a Galaxy Note 4 on Telus (Canadian), and my phone was in a bootloop so I decided to flash stock ROM with ODIN. Here's what I know:
It has never been rooted
Reactivation lock is on
There are no other modifications that I know of
Model number: SM-N910W8
Known issues: My phone would randomly shut off (straight reboot, doesn't go to logo) when I used Snapchat after around 5-6 seconds. This would also happen rarely when I used my camera, but other than that it would never happen.
Notes on what I've tried:
Getting latest ODIN version
Updating Samsung drivers
I made sure that I had the correct ROM
When I flash in ODIN, it gives me a pass
Phone reboots, and it says recovery booting in top left corner with Samsung logo
It says installing system update, and it shows a progress bar
It's slow and steady progression until about a quarter of the way through, where it jumps and then promptly says "Erasing..." and then reboots
After it reboots, it still says recovery mode and it goes back to saying installing system update but this time without a progress bar
It stays on this screen for a short period of time then reboots and does the same thing > recovery booting > system update
I would just like to know why I fail to flash a ROM that works properly. Am I doing something wrong?
Does this occur because you have reactivation lock on?

Is there a way to turn it off then, outside of the settings menu?
