[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSamsungGuyS4:
Hello so i believed i soft bricked my Galaxy S4 when trying to install a custom ROM. I tied to factory reset in my settings but it stayed at the downloading stage for multiple hours so i had to reboot. I downloaded a factory PDA file and PIT file to use with ODIN but everytime i click start it says ODIN is not responding and after it fixes it says Failed. Please help i really would like to fix my phone asap.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbaBand:
Make sure you didnt connect your phone to USB 3.0 Port
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petrusconsult:
Bott in recovery, then wipe cach and dalvik, this will help if you're still on boot screen, and also for bottloop.

About USB 3.0. I always connect my devices via USB 3.0, it doesn't matter, the only thing is to have Intel drivers (Win 7) and not Microsoft (Win 8).

Reinstall KIES/drivers on your computer then connect your devices.

I think it should be OK

Hallelujah !
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaraee:
if you use PDA file you don't need pit file

and please note,when flashing PDA file using ODIN check F.reset time and auto-reboot option only

also, before flash using ODIN make sure ODIN recognize your device ( the box will turn to blue ) then you can press start to start the process

No, I've use windows 8.1 and it work fine and it'll work on other windows as well ..please note that someone maybe install windows 7 OS over their current OS and it will create more problem to them..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petrusconsult:
With one-file rom, if you want to make a repartition, you need PIT FILE !
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaraee:
Yes..but why bother to repartition your device..as many of them bricked their device by flashing wrong pit file

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prak06:
Hey Guys,

After recently purchasing my Samsung Note III N9005 only 3 days ago, I've already encountered a problem - The phone works absolutely smoothly until the screen times out and doesn't turn back on! I am able to see that I am getting notification via the notification light and that the phone is still active as the two keys light up and the hepatic feedback can be felt both with touching the keys and removing the S pen, however the screen does not respond by turning on - until I restart the phone through holding the power button down.

It seems that I am not the only one who is having this problem, with numerous other people around the world also encountering this problem - However, I have been unable to find a suitable fix, and finding the process of restarting or taking the battery out inconvenient!

I have also found a YouTube Video of someone who's has the same problem as me:

As I am unable to post links being a new member : The name is of the Video is -

Samsung Note 3 III screen not turning on...

I look forward to your positive replies!

I've just bougth my new PDA HTC TyTN, :) which is amazing because it has everything! PPC 5, GSM Quadband, EDGE, 3G, Bluetooth 2, WiFi both 11b/g...... I dont even have the video alignment problem quite a lot reported around here, and my serial is HT628. Lucky me because I bougth an English version in Sweden, but I'm using it in Colombia!! (hard to reach any support, eh?)

The only problem I'm having now is that I can not connect to the WLAN in my office because the encryption they use is AES (Authentication WPA-PSK). When I try to create the connection on my PPC, I can set the Auth. to WPA-PSK, but the only option available for encryption is TKIP!!!.

Is that a hardware or software limitation? I can not find on the web topics about it... the provider doesn't have any comment about it his web page. Do I have to ask the company to lower the encryption used? :twisted: (dont think they will do it because of me!!!) or is there any other solution to get connected via WiFI? :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fgro:
hi,

i am struggeling with this issue since weeks. In my opinion its a software issue and it has not yet built in to the ROM's. So i believe its a AKU problem which might solved after changing AKU to 3.x.

Take a look at this thread there is a beta ROM which should support WPA2 but it does not work yet. Seems to wait until HTC is releasing the AKU 3.x on the TyTN too.

Solution during the issue ... ask your company to setup a WiFi connection with WEP this is the only thing i got to work on my TyTN so far.

Good luck :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] HB_TyTN:
Windows CE 5.0 and thus Windows Mobile 5.0 seem to not suport AES due to it's CPU requirements.

But you don't want to go back to insecure WEP. Ask for WPA/TKIP instead of WPA2 (WPA/AES). Worked like a charm for me.

If somebody gets LEAP (Cisco AP) working, please let me know how.

Thanks to both on your answers..

I'm not so exited to try a ROM upgrade just for this, and even less if it's not sure it will work. So I'll try to convince people here in the office to use TKIP, not sure they'll do it just for me, but I'll try anyway!.

This happens just 1 week after repaired at Samsung Service Center (having failed KitKat upgrade via OTA - Bootloop) and they said must replace the main board. Sadly, the warranty period has run out :crying:

Just want to ask here, is that true it only can be fixed by replace the main board with a new one? Or there's another way to fix it? And why this can happen? I'm afraid, after replace the main board these events recur.

Note: The last ROM is official JB 4.3 without root and don't have any backup (EFS, NAND, etc).

This should work.

How to restore original stock partition table.

You will need to do this if you want to install stock official firmware.

1 - Download Odin3_v3.07_with_PIT_16GB_GT-N7100.zip and extract it somewhere.

2 - Download any stock ROM from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com and unzip it.

2 - Open Odin, click "PIT" button and select " PIT_N7100_16GB_20121102.pit"

3 - Click "PDA" and select official ROM that you've downloaded

4 - Click "Start"

5 - After installation, phone will be stuck at bootanimation, don't panic.

6 - Pull out battery, boot to recovery (you can see some mount errors, don't worry)

7 - Select "wipe data/factory reset" in recovery menu

8 - Select "reboot system now"

I'll put the links up in a while.

Your phone is not bricked, it is currently "soft" bricked.

A brick means your phone is, simply that, a brick, does nothing..

Anyway, since you are S-ON, and no signed RUU, I am not sure there is too much you can do.

Some back info.

Were you ever S-OFF?

Did it set you back to S-ON when you "decided to take the firmware from ota package and flash it using fastboot"?

All information can remember always helps, hope there is a light at the end of your tunnel. At worst, since bootloader is locked and S-ON, I would personally, get a refurb. Unfortunately seems the only way as no singed RUU exists ATM.

I can verify this, too. I rooted about 5-6 devices with it, and it did it flawlessly with them all.

What I remember using it with is the Samsung Galaxy SII (i9100 and i9100g) and a Tab 3 and others which I don't remember.

However, all it does is that it installs SuperSU to your device only, and nothing else. One Click Root is also as known as Kingo, but it installs a custom recovery, too, if you choose to.
