I went to cf auto root to find a root file for my phone and like an idiot, downloaded a boot+recovery file instead of the rooting file So I accidentally flashed a recovery+boot tar file on my galaxy j5 prime (SM-G570F) and ever since that it keeps restarting after the very first (samsung galaxy j5 prime, Powered by android) page. I flashed twrp and that works, I can use downloading mode and flash other things, I've tried a number of different boot image files, the problem remains, so Ive decided to flash a copy of stock firmware (latest update) instead. Will that fix it? If not, can I fix it, and how? Also pls provide a stock boot image if you can, I want to try that again one last time. Also please reply fast, If my parents find out, they'll kill me

Hi I hope someone can help me. I have searched this forum but could not find a similar situation to what I ended up in...
I tried to install a custom ROM on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 using the CWM/Odin.
This seemed succesful but was not, it did not start but was stuck in the Samsung logo.
So I tried entering the CWM and download and install an original Samsung ROM. I can get it into CWM, but CWM cannot enter the download mode only the other mode.
In this mode all options are available:
- reboot
- apply update from SD card
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
All options have been tried without any luck. In the update from SD card it only shows ...
or Error opening /data/media: no such file or directory
Any ideas how I could get this directory back or put a ROM on the Samsung in this situation.
Odin does see the Galaxy but as I cannot get it into Download mode I am unable to download anything to it.
All or any suggestions are very welcome!
1. CWM (Clockworkmod) =! Odin.
In the beginning, you don't have CWM installed. You install CWM, by flashing CWM on your Phone with odin.
Odin is the Windows Programm, that is used to flash Recoveries/ROM's/Kernels onto your device.
2. it seems, that you still have the default Samsung recovery installed, that meand CWM is not yet flashed on your device.
If the flashing process was succesful (I suppose it was done with odin), but you can't get past the Samsung logo, that means, you probably flashed a rom, that isn't made for your device(ex. a GTab 10.1v Rom).
If you DID flash a wrong rom, then you probably ****ed up the partition table and removed the Download Mode(Odin Mode). Strange thing is, that you still have the Stock recovery.
Could you please redirect us to the rom you downloaded?
Also, did you flash with a repartition on and/or a .pit file?
hi Kaukassus,
thanks for the reply.
OK I checked the files and what I did.
I think I totaly screwed this up. It was a theme I tried to install the AOSP_HC_v1.3_3G+KI1.
I rooted the Tab. So first when the Tab was still functioning installed it on the TAB via USB.
Than tried to install this via update from SD card.
This appeared to work initially. But hung at the start.
After that I tried (via Power Volume Up) wipe data/factory reset.
No luck.
After that I tried wipe cache partition followed by wipe data/factory reset.
And this is what I got now..
Bad news is the Tab was/is a X-mas present and I managed to screw it up even before I officially got it !-(
The valuable lesson you're learning is that you need to be aware exactly what things you're flashing and their compatibility with your device and the software it's running.
You haven't mentioned what specific device you're using or the specific things you've tried to flash (as kaukassus pointed out, direct links to threads where you got the files you tried to flash are best). Not sure if you're aware but not all GT 10.1's are equal; there are several models out there and each and every ROM is specific to a particular device. Verizon LTE GT 10.1's like mine can't take ROMs from any other device for example, it's likely that the new T-Mobile 4G one's wont be able to trade ROMs with Verizon ones . . you get the point.
When you say you installed via USB what exactly did you mean? If you simply copied a zip file via USB to the tab to flash in recovery mode that's not installing; the flashing from recovery may be but the file copy operation is not. If on the other hand you pushed things via ADB or you flash using Odin software then that's a different story.
Best thing to do at this point is to properly identify your device, look for a stock recovery image for Odin and flash that via Odin to your device. At that point you can start from scratch again to build what you want.
Thanks Muzzy996.
You are right. I was in a rush and should have taken more time.
However I am getting somewhere. Managed to get in download mode twice today, don't ask me how. This Tab just will not go into download mode!
However I did not have the stock ROM ready to be installed.
Will keep you updated.
i have the same problem. i just rooted my device was going to overclock. decided to save my rom with rom manager. saved it device went to reboot now the samsung galaxy 10.1 shows up screen goes dim then shuts off, and will cont. do this. i can get into download mode but recovery will not work. is there anyway to download my stock rom. im using verizion 4g 10.1 any help would be great, btw sorry to thread jack
Problem solved.
Managed to get it in download mode again and install stock rom via Odin.
Appeared to work fine. But kep switching off, even after full night of charging.
This morning Tab was dead after recharging whole night..
Got it back on by holding volume down and power button down.
i found a stock rom and im trying to upload it via odin, however odin does not find my tab? any ideas. btw congrats on getting ur tab back
I crashed both my I9000 (galaxy s) flashing custom roms and my tab 10.1 (editing some system files) both ended up just looping but managed to get both back. I purchased a small connector of ebay £1.59 that has just a resistor accross pins 4&5 331k I think anyway plugging this into most samsung devices boots them into download mode. Even before getting my resistor I managed to get things working I think that you'd have to be properly unlucky to really brick a samsung I've flashed both my devices with all sorts of crap with my little resistor I just reset them with ease.

did you ever resolve this issue? i am currently faced with the same issue.
Nevermind, I just flashed CMW recovery with odin and I was able to get into recovery mode and do a hard reset. It booted fine now. Phew.
Hi guys,
Is there any hope for my tab (Wifi US ver)?
Long story short, I thought my tab was soft bricked so I tried to flash a stock rom with Odin and it's now looping in the "manual mode: copying common apks", it would freeze there then the Samsung logo would load and it would go back to manual mode and the whole thing loops like this.
I can still get into download mode, but recovery mode loops with the copying apk thing.
Any help or input would be much appreciated. Thanks!
If you can still get into download mode, then find a proper firmware (my advice is www.sammobile.com), and give it another go.. Then root, cwm and try to restore the android again, though it might be corrupted so that's why you got into problems... Anyway, if download mode works it's ok!
EDIT: imo, maybe it should be best to flash with a pit file, so that everything, including /sdcard will be wiped, but you will loose everything (photos, music, etc).
Sent from my amazing 10.1 galaxy tab
A pit file and repartitioning was actually an option I looked into while doing some research, but I'm not sure where I would find a pit file.
I did do a factory reset+clean wipe and flashed a new rom and everything appears to be fine. I think the problem may have been due to Pershoot's new kernal for ICS considering my tab froze after I flashed it, and the ROM flashed after also had a similar kernal as well, and that also froze my tab at boot animation.
But yeah, I'll definitely find a pit file just in case this happens again. Thanks
Hi all
I hope that I am posting in the correct place
I need help with my Galaxy S3 SGH-T999
Recently the phone died on me, it was stock rom and with the updates through some of the apps, the phone stopped working correctly. I don't use the phone for making calls, etc, but need it for pictures and a few other apps. The phone is from T-mobile.
I tried to reset the phone and that worked until all the updates were back on and then back to the same problem.
So I decided to put on a custom rom on the phone.
I have tried the following roms:
cm-14.1-20161225-NIGHTLY-d2tmo
I9300XXUGNB6_I9300OJVGNB3_I9300XXUGNA8_HOME
RevolutionaryS5-V3
Slim-d2tmo-6.0.1.alpha.0.1-UNOFFICIAL-20160516-1346
I first installed CWM recovery and then transferred the roms over to the external sd car (also the internal card), went to boot manager (vol up) and installed the files.
It looked like the installation worked but when selecting reboot, the phone would not come back on.
I then loaded up Kies and reset the phone back to factory defaults and only then does the phone load back up after reboot.
Every time I try the custom rom - I run into the same problem
At first I thought the phone was bricked and found info about the jtag and then found something about using an SD card with the following image installed on it - tmobile-T999_4.3_debrick
With the SD card in the phone I can boot to either menus and also able to get the phone to boot to the slim-d2tmo rom. But when I pull the SD card, the phone won't boot. Nothing, no power, nada
I am not sure what I did wrong, followed the direction on the site and thought I did it correctly.
Not sure if I deleted some file, or partition needed or what. I would greatly appreciate some help with this.
Also I would like a custom rom that is stable and fast. I don't need all the bells and whistles but one thing I would like and that is for the camera to be able to take pictures using voice. I know the stock rom allows for this. Not essential but preferred.
Please help with detailed instructions.
Thanks in advance.
It,s amazing
Please elaborate. What's amazing.
Boot into download mode and confirm the model # of the phone. I see you tried to flash I9300XXUGNB6_I9300OJVGNB3_I9300XXUGNA8_HOME which not for the the T999, it's for the gt-i9300.

OPen Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time. Flash TWRP. When you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot directly into recovery.
Hey
Some days ago I flashed my boot-logo (the picture what says Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + when I start my phone) on my SM-G928F via TWRP. I think the file was corrupted, because my phone doesn't start anymore. I can't boot in TWRP or system, because there's a never ending blackscreen. I can only boot into download-mode. I flashed samsung stock rom via Odin but that didn't help, because the logo.jpg won't be replaced.
I tried other stuff like adb sideload but it didn't worked.
I think the only possibility to get my phone alive is to flash the stock samsung boot picture via Odin but I don't know how... I need a tar or md5 file for this...
I hope somebody is able to help me in this f***ing situation :crying:
Best regards
DGB

Hello
So I was trying to root my Samsung Galaxy S9+ a couple hours ago. But I got stuck on a bootloop in the middle of the process so I started panicing and trying every button in the TWRP menu. I accidentally wiped all files including the OS. So then after a little bit of research I tried installing a custom ROM that I found on a firmware website. The custom ROM was the exact same model as my phone, Android 10 G965F. I had no idea how to install this kind of stuff so I looked it up on youtube. I tried doing it with Odin but I didnt know which .md5 file to do first (because there were 5 .md5 files in the .zip file) and whichever one I tried loaded forever. My phone is currently stuck on the Downloading screen.
Any help would be very appreciated A LOT. Thanks!
I would recommend you flash in factory os via odin. If you don't bother to follow instruction from the custom rom op, don't attempt to root the phone or flash a custom rom.
You mentioned you panicked and hit everything you can see in recovery. That's a big no no and seriously don't meddle with it. You'll brick the phone.
Custom rom is in zip file and you do not need to unzip it. You do not use odin to flash in custom rom.
Please follow the instruction from the custom rom op. Seriously follow it. Every single step.
