Do you have a known good PIT file for your phone?

I wouldn't put anything into the PIT slot, flash just the .tar.md5 in the AP slot, and don't select "Re-partition".

Since it seems to be failing when trying to repartition, let's skip that (as above) and see if it's any better.

okay im going to doit again and make sure it not check or anythig thanks ahead

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Are sure the download is good? Did you check the MD5? Maybe try downloading it again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Things to try :

Different USB Cable

Different USB Port on PC

A Different version of Odin

Heimdall instead of Odin

Re-download the full wipe MK2

Worth a shot...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eddieq2922:
I tried different ports I tride differemt odin I downloaded the md5 again full wipe and still same result
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Well I'm out of ideas myself. Heimdall can be found here http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/

Some have had much better luck with it from what I've seen. I'm not an expert in Odin errors just was thinking of what I'd try. You can go between MK2 and MJ7 as well, may be worth trying MJ7 full wipe, just for the hell of it.

Hopefully that works or maybe someone else here will have another idea.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Coycaine:
Sounds dumb, and sorry if you tried already, but did you try a different usb cable? Just trying to throw something against the wall and hope it sticks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eddieq2922:
No need to say sorry Im willing to try anythimg I greatly apreciate the help still that didn't make a difference same results I don't get it at al if I could get a custom recovery back on I have a back up but I lost the safestrap recovery somehow now I only got stock recovery damn kids
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eddieq2922:
Bump
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
First, everyone: asking him to check the MD5 is a waste of time. It's a .tar.md5, and ODIN verifies the MD5 when it reads it. Since ODIN isn't finding a problem, it's OK. (There's no chance whatsoever that a file could be corrupt and still have a MD5 that verifies while still being a valid tar file.)

What I would do is to go read this thread for the MK2 files.

Given what you're seeing, try the emergency recovery. Download the .PIT file from there (remember me asking about that?) and use that when flashing the full-wipe file in ODIN.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bradh024:
This might sound crazy, but are you using the samsung OEM USB cable when your trying to odin? I had the note 2 before getting this phone and every time I used oden with a 3rd party USB cable, I always ran into problems. I always had to use the OEM cable. Also, if it's bootlooping or hanging at the boot screen, you should be able to get it working again. The only time you worry is if it doesn't do anything at all. When you said you can't get into safestrap, what about the stock recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eddieq2922:
im using the the oem cable and as far as stock recovery yes i can get into stock recovery no problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bradh024:
Try the flashing the mj7 image instead of mk2. I'm not sure what version of software you had on it, but the mj7 is the original update to 4.3 mk2 is a minor update from mj7. I may be wrong here but samsung might have it set up to where someone can only update to mk2 from mj7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Here's the pit file k1mu has been asking you to try http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319199111

Grab that and put in PIT slot and put the stock firmware file you already have in PDA and try that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dazac:
****s ****ed.

I'm Having the same problem. I can't flash anything on Odin without it failing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dazac:
Working

Hey,

Thanks for the link to the pit file, none of the stock firmwares were working until I added that.

So for recap

(steps to fix)

Downloads

1.) Download Odin 3 here

2.)Download Firmware Here(MK2)

3.)Download Pit here(VZW)

Actual Steps

4.)Turn off phone and take out battery for 30 sec

5.) Put phone in download mode via three button combo (Volume down, Home, Power)

5.5.)Press volume up to enter download mode

6.)Plug in to computer

7.)Run Odin

8.) Set recover file to "AP" slot (It should check MD5 sum,Might take a second)

9.)Set PIT file to "PIT"

10.) Make sure "Auto Reboot", "Re-Partition", and "F. Reset Time" are all checked.

11.) Click "Start"

Should look like this before you click start

yesterday i rooted and installed safestrap... tried a few different ROMs but the issue i had was running out of room for my apps.

i wiped the stock rom and rebooted... not it won't go past the Samsung Note3 Custom screen.

i tried to reboot into recovery, and install a ROM from the sd card, but it isn't working, i get a few errors and once it's done, it still won't get past the samsung screen.

Can i fix this? or is it bricked?

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mutantblack:
This should be in the Q&A thread.

Since you have rom slot I assume you are on JB. You still can access to the recovery so that's a good thing. The rom that you are trying to flash are also JB? How long is it stuck on Samsung splash screen? Worse comes worse you can always use the restore to mj5 to unbrick it. A bit more work but by all means this is fixable and nothing major.

[General Questions and Answers] sstrong00:
I recently flashed cm11 onto my Moto G, soon to discover that my data connection no longer worked. Is this something with TalkTalk because I tried my dads sim (He's on O2) and the data connection worked on that? I can call and send texts, but I cannot connect to the internet through a Non-WiFi data connection. Is this something with TalkTalk or is CyanogenMod 11 not compatible with TalkTalk data?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] michalpo:
Hi there,

So I have been using N7000 quite a while now - 2 years or so. And I discovered one, very annoying thing about new versions of android - each one seems to be worse in terms of usability and desktop space usage then the previous one...

Lets start with GB roms - there was 5x5 launcher in home screen and 6x5 in app menu + very useful bottom app dock that visible from desktop (home screen) and app screen. Also - each screen had a number that was shown in the bottom, so you knew where you were.

See picture: gb.jpg taken from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424401 here

Next version - ICS has cut some rows of icons in the app menu and completely deleted bottom app dock. And where the hell is screen number gone? Why??

The good thing about ICS was decent performance and quite good battery life. - Actually, the best one so far on n7000

See picture ics.jpg taken from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1923817

JellyBean - same story less apps rows, everything seems to have more room for itself but it causes more screens and more swyping gestures. 4x4 in home screen is a joke. Having so big screen and using so little of it is pointless. I do not know what were they thinking designing the layout! And how did they manage to release so bugged software causing all kernel wakelocks destroying our batteries?

And finally - KitKat which follows the same direction - less icons in the screen, more touches to get you where you want.

Now regarding AOKP that everybody seems to love here - there is no support of very 'basic' apps that Samsung offers in stock TW roms:

- fm radio

- video calls via 3g

- s note

I can understand that s-note is the samsung specific app, but video calls and fm radio not being supported in 2014 AOKP KitKat roms is regress...

I recon that the next version of Android will have 1 icon and 1 icon for 1 screen - containing 12 screens.

We are putting ourselves in the custody of trying simplify things which are simple enough. Many other examples would be some of the google apps - Talk regressed to Hangouts, Maps regressed to new maps, and simple search app regressed to google now that everybody hates. And did I mention it takes 1 home screen when you swipe left on several devices?

I do not want be involved in the discussion of every single mistake google / samsung / communicy have made. I just wanted to point that the way, we are being directed is clearly a wrong way ahead!

Roll on Show me what you got!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazibasit:
Wow what an analysis. Yes ur right about everything u have said. Each new version of android shows so low mininum hardware requirement, which is not true because once the rom is released its much bigger in size than the previous one. I would like android to get updates like linux. Each edition getting a parallel update. Newer devices gets the newer edition and older devices should get the update of the edition they are already on.

The best performance my note showed was

turn of your phone. open flashtool. do not connect the phone to pc. select the firmware and click on flash,. after a few seconds it asks for the phone to connect. the hold the vol - button and plug in the usb. release the vol - button after the green light turns on. this may solve your issue :P

Interesting update (well not really), but I did some troubleshooting and stuff and found that when plugging my phone into the charger when it is switched off, it doesn't respond either (i.e. boot up). So I have a feeling that its the actual phone with a fault such as damaged pin in the usb port that relates to power when the phone is switched off?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FrankieZero:
I have the same problem.

When the phone is turned off it won't charge, either wiht the wall charger or with the USB cable connected to the computer.

I've sent an email to SONY but they told me so sent it to tech support.

It's not very easy to do it where I am so I'm looking for some other options.

I also noticed it when I was trying to update to 4.3.

PC Companion isn´t a solution since it asks to connect the phone to the PC while turned off pressing the volume down button, even to try the repair.

Can someone help?

[Hardware Hacking General] Papa Emeritus:
Hey all the good people at XDA. I have an idea and the potential parts to make this work. Think of it like a Google Glass ( another glass concept ) but for the combat Infantrymen. We wear eye protection already and put some crazy stuff on our helmets. We get shot at and we shoot back.

This is where I and trying to help.

The concept:

Being able to know and many rounds you have fired.

able to tell distance, direction and elevation the shots originating from.

Able to tell what round was fired.

The hardware:

Will be tested on Oakley M frames. I am drafting up at the moment.

Small screen on either eye but supposed to be your non firing eye.

there will be small mics around the helmet. This is what will give direction.

There will be a small shock sensor and mic to give an accurate round count.

What I want to try to use:

I have an electronic viewfinder screen from an old digital camera. that's what I will look up to. I have the orignal PCB that I know has the TI DPS. I think it has whatever display chip on the board as well. Basically I tore a kodak easyshare z710. I don't know what firmware type is it. Maybe Linux but I don't know.

Can I get some help on this. Is a little near and dear lol.
