Samsung Mega SGH-I527 STUCK IN BOOTLOOP

Hi guys... How are you? This is the first time i have ever posted to a forum so I'm sorry if its a bit scattered...

okay i got a AT&T Mega SGH-I527 for free in its current state... so i don't know any of the info except what i can see which is :

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME : SGH-I527

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 <---Dose this matter if i don't care about the warranty?

CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 4

WRITE PROTECTION: Enable

its stuck in a bootloop, I can put it in download mode.

Now these steps kinda worked i think lol

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-mega/general/stock-odin-firmware-i527-4-4-2-t2835136

seam to work as far as Odin being able to access it and try to install those files i downloaded which are :

AP_I527UCUBNE7_1711751_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

BL_I527UCUBNE7_1711751_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar

CP_I527UCUBNE7_1711751_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar

CSC_ATT_I527ATTBNE7_1711751_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar

i also tried to a PIT file not sure which one it was tho file name is:

Samsung_I527_PIT.PIT <--- this is one is 4.75kb

that just tells me " SECURE CHECK FAIL: PIT

now all theses seam to take meaning they pass according to Odin but it reboots and just goes back into the bootloop...

now when i did try theses files it did something it didn't do before it gave me a little blue tag at the top saying "RECOVERY BOOT..."

then it just loops again... I'm not really sure what my question is and I'm sorry so i guess I'm just asking if anyone can tell me whats happening? do i keep trying to work it out or should i just recycle the phone? i cant help to think that there life here tho...

I know y'all have been over this a thousands of time but it all kinda mind numbing... any kinda advice would be cool thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kmt5150:
Simple. DONT USE THE PIT FILE AND DONT WIPE THE PARTITIONS.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tabernakal:
No PIT huh?..Ok

Hey kmt515.. :cowboy: thanks for getting back to me.... i was trying to fix my gs3 (i did) now I'm back to this... i will try without the PIT file. all tho i think i have tryed not doing that already I'll get back. thanks again.:)

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

okay i tied all the files without the PIT and they all passed... but on each one after its completed and passed (Odin)

and restarts. It just goes to the Samsung galaxy mega screen (first one) then it vibrates twice and reboots again. NOTHING FAILS THO.

and suggestions for me ?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kmt5150:
Flash each ODIN file one at a time. The AP file and the BL have a PIT built in, so you shouldn't have to manually parse it.

FYI I was able to obtain root on my SGH-I537 and I'm now trying to export that method to the SGH-i527, but it's proving to be difficult. Will keep yall posted!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] impactxvx:
hi

is the recovery file up for i527 mega yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] caguas56:
The Mega other than Root is Dead.

No bootloader unlocked and No One is working on it.

I myself have moved to the Nexus 6.

I still have the Mega rooted only for the big screen but out of all the Mega forums.

and I will not see your reply because I'm will not subscribe to any Mega forum.

My advice, keep the mega rooted if you like but move out to other phone.

Hello,

Not sure if this possible but my Note 4 sadly isnt receiving LTE at the moment. AT&T requires 700 mhz for LTE in my area and my phone does have 700mhz, but on band 28 in stead of band 17. IS it possible to flash my phone to use band 17 instead of band 28? Any help is appreciated.

I was messing with the build.prop on my rooted Alcatel One Touch Fierce, and I changed the build.prop. When I rebooted my phone, I was stuck on the T-Mobile Screen, I have a backup of the build.prop and an update.zip I made from the app zipme on the Play Store, but when I try to flash that update.zip, it aborts the update. I've tried putting the recovery in sideload mode and use adb shell, but it gives me error:closed. I have also tried a data reset, but nothing has worked. Does anybody have a working update.zip they can send me or can someone make me an update.zip with the one I'm giving them?

My SPen moves slighlty from side to side if I touch it. Just wondering if others are this way as well or is it a defect.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hohoXD1233:
Moves side to side very slightly if I push it, otherwise it's a very good fit. Doesn't feel like it'll drop out at all nor does it require a lot of effort to take out.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JippleStar:
I always feel that reassuring click everytime I attach and detach the s-pen and it doesn't move at all :3
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narekrocks:
Seems like we are unlucky ones then. Or I am because it kind of annoys me. Though as you said it doesn't drop and clicks in. I guess I'll get some tape.

Sent from my Note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narekrocks:
Well I guess "perfect" is subjective. I see some people say there is very little wiggle. Well that's what I am talking about. I'm not saying it feels like it's gonna fall out. Non issue for most, but holding the metal solid frame and then touching that wiggly pen. Just doesn't feel nice. Anyways, I'll get me some of that grey industrial tape and see how it works out :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] couragedragon:
I should really say that I have to make it wiggle if anything. It doesn't rattle or anything. Mine feels great as is.

|> transmitted from deep inside a Verizon Note 4 <|
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enfurno:
If we are speaking with regard to the definition of slight. Then I have a slight amount of play when I force it to wiggle. If yours is annoying you then something must be wrong.. I literally have to try and feel it move under pressure, but as with anything, apply enough pressure and it will move, slightly. Oh so slightly.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsk91:
Mine fits very nice. Clicks when i insert it and then it is not moving at all.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narekrocks:
I am one those easily annoyed types I guess. If anyone is wondering I just got some of that famous grey tape, cut a thin strip and stuck it to the side the SPen could be pushed to.

It doesn't move at all now, no matter how hard I push and the SPen slides in and out just as easily as before. You also don't have to worry about it peeling off and getting pushed as once that tape is stuck it ain't going no where.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Shaunfarris:
Hi All,

I'm quite new to ROM upgrades, but have done a couple.

I'm very keen though on putting WM6 on my Orange M5000, but not sure which you guys think would be best for me to try.

I've spent the last couple of days reading over and over the threads about:-

1. PDAVIET 2.00.07 PRO

2. i-mate JASJAR Crossbow Rom Update 2.01.06 WWE

3. New WM6 Rom of Helmi_c (V1.1)

But am now even more confused than I was before I started, I'm kind of leaning towards the i-mate JASJAR Crossbow Rom Update 2.01.06 WWE, but really dont know why.

Any help would be much appreciated
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] sub69:
Those PDAViet ROM's are modified versions of Helmi's earlier ROM, but they've then been filled with third party apps that I don't want. I've been using Helmi's v1.1 for a while and I'm very happy with it.

I haven't tried JWright's Crossbow ROM's, because I'm settled with Helmi's and the base image is the same. When a newer build comes out though, I'll probably upgrade again, no matter who releases it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] mtvn:
The latest PDAViet 2.00.07 PRO combined the Helmi and Jasjar. Basically, they combined what works best in each ROM and all the known fixed to create a better ROM. Basically that what cooked ROM is. You combined the best ROM, tweaks, fixed, suggestions, etc... to create a better more stable ROM.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] minhsu:
I tried all 3 roms, now i use PDAViet 2.00.07. I think this rom is the best one that has all necessary functions with big memory and less memory leakage. I can also use Bluetooth stereo with this rom.

When im on KK roms with theme engine support, I use the Xperia Z2 theme by thomasffca and also use the Z2 keyboard, I feel this is enough to make it feel like Sony UI still but have all KK features, try out those apps I mentioned and see what you think?

Edit: On CrystalPA 8.50, there is a minor bug on hover notifications, its got no background when displaying the notification while using the Z2 theme.

I have also installed the Xperia font with ROM Toolbox and that has also made the phone feel more like the Sony UI we know and love.

Also, use digital xperia clock widget from play store and use that on your lockscreen and homescreen to keep the clock looking Xperia.

[About XDA developers] ka24e:
I'm sure the people that run this site have better things to do then fix compatibility issues with banners and advertisments. To tell you the truth I used to run a forum like this. It's not an issue of the code being wrong it's how it's interpreted by your browser. I just installed FireFox to see, and sure enough the menus show up UNDER the banner. That's not the site's fault, that's the browser's fault for rendering it wrong. If it works fine in another browser then use that. Sometimes there is a middle ground, but unfortunatly vBulletin only offers certain types of code and has constraints. Also I'm sure no one wants to pay money to switch to phpbb or invision powerboard. These board/forums softwares have issues to themselves.

However, I agree about the page layout there in ivorh's post, that can be fixed by some simple code changes, but it's not that big of a deal. The PDA list view could be fixed as well I suppose. Meh. I come here to get information, not spending 10 hours wondering why the banners aren't working along with the menus lol. I'm not saying you don't have valid points, but I think you need something better to get fustrated about.
