I recently purchased a Samsung A10 for my daughter from the internet ( Dutch version of Craigslist ).
Although the phone was wiped, there is still a google account connected to the phone ( which i dont have acces to) so i cant install anything.
The seller doesnt respond to messages so i have to find another way.
I was able to do a hard reset, but that didnt help.
I download Odin, but the phone doesnt get recognized in Windows and i presume that USB debugging is not enabled and so is the bootloader...
any suggestions??
Check your bootloader version and try to get a FRP bypass Rom which can be flashed from odin

To recognize your phone on windows, you have to install the Samsung usb drivers. After you did that, reboot your phone in Odin/download mode and check open odin software. If it's recognised by the app, then it's working and u can download and flash your stock firmware again.
Stock firmware can be downloaded from sammobile.

Why are you flashing only AP file?
Flash AP, BL, CSC and CP all together.

That's because the pit file in the firmware doesn't match your phone's pit file. For example your phone's storage is 32 GB but you are flashing a firmware for 16 GB phone.
Are you able to boot into the phone's operating system?

Hey everyone...last night I tried messing around with some Samsung official ROMs and some really weird things happened...:
I tried a Android 2.3.6 ROM (from a Samsung Firmware page) - it kept enabling/disabling my SIM card constantly.
I tried a Europe (general Europe I guess), it kept restarting my phone on start-up (boot loop).
I installed back my Vodafone (Spain) 2.3.5 ROM but now Samsung Keys says this device cant be updated trough it! (before I started messing around with it, it used to say "no new updates found").
Originally my idea was to have a Samsung stock ROM that is not carrier-based (Europe region though of course).
But now that I'm having a "white circle in the lower-left of the screen" problem I also need to keep my Vodafone ROM installed.
Any idea how to fix the "cant update trough Kies" problem? =/
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I took a look on the Stock ROMs posted here on XNA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278)...any recommendation for a generic Europe ROM?
Anyone?
I'd like to know this too. Im on Vodaphone UK and after flashing the carrier branded firmware from these forums (BUKJ3) the same as i had out of the box i can no longer update with Kies.

KIES is fussy and often fails to recognize flashed firmware .
Codes don't match on KIES server any firmware is why .

I've managed to do it in end. Here's what I did:
Go here: http://fus.nanzen.se/ and download version 2.1 of the PC program.
Use the PC program to get the firmware for your device/carrier.
Use Odin to install the firmware and then enter recovery mode (Up-Volume key + Home key + Power key while turning on) and format your Data.
That solved the problem for me and now Kies allows me to update the device again like before. ^_^

Hello everyone
I have a SII E120L with
Kernel: 2.6.35.11-120L.EL22.1023
Baseband: E120L.EL.0843LT
with the following problems:
- I can' t connect to a network
- I can't enter download mode.
I tried:
- upgrade via Kies: get your device does not support uipgrade via Kies
firmware version: E120LKRFB05/E120LKRFB05/E120LKREL21/E120LKREL21 (LGT)
- usb dongel to enter download mode: doesn't work
- when I connect the usb cable; and do the 3 button procedure when the green battery appears, then I can enter download mode, but the screen turns blank aftyer 2 seconds. I can see in Odin that the USB port is detetected but flashing results in an error (see pic1)
- I tried adb shell reboot download. This results in the download mode, but disapears after 2 seconds.
- I tried to root the device via DooMLoRD tootlkit but this results in an error:
failed to copy 'files\Superuser.apk' to '/system/app/./Superuser.apk': Read-only file system
I'd would like to be able to
- flash new firmware
and/or
- root the phone and so I can restore an efs.img file on the sdcard.
Can someone help me please?

Dude... he has an SII HD LTE. (E120L) Which has different CPU/SoC/GPU than the I9100.
I am about 95% certain I9100 firmwares will NOT WORK on his phone, and may, in fact, make his situation worse.

First off, do NOT follow that guy's advice above, unless you want to brick your phone.
Second, try reading/searching this thread. I myself did a quick perusal of it and found that someone in it mentioned that they were able to root their E120L or S by flashing Tegrak kernel. Search around for it.
@vdbergh, sorry, I noticed you already posted in that other thread.
About your issue; are you plugged into a mainboard USB port on your computer? Using a USB hub or keyboard passthrough can cause issues. Have you tried different cables? It could be a bad cable.

ctomgee, thanks for the effort to try to help me!
I am connected to the main USB port of my computer. I also changed the cable. Result is the same.
I think something is wrong with the firmware. Here's the history.
I had a perfectly good working phone. Then I wanted to flash the TL1.3. Something went wrong in that process and stupid me, I reseted the phone. Since then the phone was bricked. I tried everything but no success.
I sent the phonbe for JTAG repair. They manage to reanimate the phone, but it was impossible to get a network. All the est worked fine but I could't make phonecalls.
When I started Kies, it said to upgrade the firmware. The kernel upgrade went fine but the baseband upgrate got an error. I had the posibility to do an emergency recovery in Kies, but as soon as I start that, Kies doesn't recognice the phone.
Flashing new firmware via Odin doesn't work eiter.
The only small possibility I see is to restore a backup efs.img I found. But to do that the phone needs to be rooted. I can't do that via Odin so I tried the DooMLoRD tootlkit to root the phone. This doesn't work because I get an error that the filesystem is Read-Only.
Maybe I could root or upgrade the firmware via the recovery mode (apply update from sdcard option)?
So I'm very desperate now. I just don't know what to do anymore.

I would get the latest firmware available via CheckFUS. (if you don't know what that is, just google it) Then flash it via Odin. Let's start there.
Use gingerbreak in my signature, it doesnt even need a computer, just put it on your sd and install it, then let it do it's magic

The checkFus didn't work. ( the SHV-E120L (SII HD LTE) is not in the list).
I tried the Gingerbreak, but I do't think the E120L is supported yet. It run's for ever without rooting the phone

My apologies... I didn't double check to see if the E120L was in Check FUS. Hmm. I'm not sure where you can get stock firmwares for the SHV-E120 series, unfortunately. (at least, on English language websites) Sorry dude, wish I could be of more help.

Ok guys, after 16 days of tryin everything, i guess i need ur help.
First of all, im sorry for my bad english, im german.
This is my Problem:
I did a Full-Wipe on my S6 Edge (SM-G925F - zerolte) to flash a Stock Rom via Odin.
But there is no connection to Odin! So i cant work with Odin.
YES, i reinstalled the Samsung USB-Drivers a 1000 Times. I tried different Drivers. Still no connection.
YES, i tried it on different Computers (Windows XP, 7, 8.1, Windows 10 and on a MAC). No connection.
YES, i tried it with a lot of different USB Cables (Original Samsung Cables and other USB-Cables). No connection.
My Phone still can go in Download-Mode and i do have a Custom-Recovery (PhilzTouch 6.59.0 - CWM 6.0.5.1)
So i bought a OTG Cable, to flash via Custom-Recovery.
I tried to flash a lot of Roms. No luck. Different Errors shows up.
I tried to flash other Custom-Recovery. No luck. Error shows up.
When i try to flash some Custom-Kernels. It works.
So my Phone is still alive. But what should i do now?
It would be awesome, if someone could help me with some ideas.
Thanks in advanced!

So you put the phone in download mode and connect to Odin but nothing shows in Odin? No added message or nothing?

what does the files do in the above link ?
The main difference is that the single file doesn't Factory Reset the phone after flashing, but the 4 file firmware does factory reset and remove absolutely everything and make it like an out of the box phone.
The 4 files are called Binary Firmware which contains all the files in certain order:
Bootloader contains all the boot files
AP contains all the system and recovery files.
Modem/CP contains phone network and wifi software.
CSC contains PIT file and cache removing IMG which puts all the files in order and repairs any damage firmware has before.
Thats why they are called repair files.
Here is instruction how to flash that 4 files:

I tried that and in odin after the single download it stucks on the MLO and shows write operation failed. In device manager my phone shows as samsung composite cdc device.
What should I do now?
Uninstall all drivers for your device , you can use USB Deview which you can download on the internet , once you uninstalled reboot your PC and again put your device in Download mode , and Open Odin With Administrative Privilegion , put thouse f4 files in right places and click on Start .

I have Tmobile G965U on android 9 One UI beta build PPR1.180610.011.G965USQU3CSAB and when I try to update on the phone it says the software isnt supported. When I try to flash literally any stock rom in Odin it either fails or gets stuck at SetupConnection/Initialzation. Can anyone help me get my phone up to date?

Sounds like a firmware mismatch possibly. What does it say in Settings/About phone/Software information/Service provider SW version? Last line under your IMEI number. Mine is TMB/TMB/VZW. I think possibly the first to have to match for OTA updates to work. The last one indicates what the original firmware out of the box was.

Hmm that looks good. The OTA failure might be due to you having the beta firmware. There might be a series of beta updates you can install from here in the forums to get you where you need to be. I'm not a hundred percent sure though.
Otherwise you ought to be able to update via Odin if you download the latest T-Mobile release. Are you experienced with Odin, is it recognizing your phone when it's in download mode?

Odin wont flash any rom whatsoever. I've already tried 3 different versions but I gave up since they usually take 4 hours to download. Odin gets stuck and/or fails at Setupconnection or initialization steps every time. I'm only asking for help because Odin will not work. I figured I need an update for the beta. They only work for each build though so I need the build that updates baseband ZRL5

So the phone is being recognized in Odin(the little box that says com:x or whatever)? Sometimes it helps to try a different cable if you have one. it sounds more like a connection thing than an issue with the firmware?

what kind of USB ports does your computer have? I seem to remember people having issues with USB 3, and having to use USB 2 maybe?

You have activate developer options and inside OEM unlocked and usb debugging ? Or try to get back to android 8 maybe is possible because you have beta firmware.

Wouldnt even have gotten this far if I didnt have ADB debugging enabled. As I said before several times. Odin wont flash anything. I've already tried to go back to 8. If you can tell me how to get back to 8 without Odin that would be nice. But i need links to files not unhelpful text that tells me that I need to find something. Thats the whole issue. It's almost impossible to find the correct files unless someone who already knows gives you a link to them. I thought that's one thing XDA used to be good for but I guess that isnt the case anymore.
I would of helped but you kinda sound like a ****. Have fun with your perma-beta phone!

Download the update from this website then follow the instructions at the bottom of the page. This is the only thing I can think of if Odin isn't working

If your stuck on setup connection on Odin some things to try assuming using windows
Use Odin 3.13.1 ( or modified Odin 3.13.1B )
If you have smart switch/Kies install, un-install it.
USB cable i'm assuming is a data cable.
USB port try plugging into USB 2 port.
Plug phone directly into PC not any hubs.
Use latest Samsung USB drivers.
Run Odin in administrator mode.
Boot into download mode then reboot back into download mode again.
Maybe turn off any anti-virus programs.
Try a different PC.
These are a few things to try as failing at setup connection can be a common with some people and can vary with the PC.
Also note having OEM unlocked or USB debugging has no bearing when flashing stock firmware with Odin.

OMG. Ok I'll try all those things and get back to you.
Remember the days when this use to be easy? I miss the old days of just flashing roms willy nilly on my Galaxy Nexus. Oh how you will be missed Cyanogenmod :crying:

I dont see the issue with helping people that are named Richard, nor do i see any reason to post this as it definitely qualifies as spam and did nothing but detract from this thread.
