Are you getting a failure in Odin or your phone when flashing Odin?

If it's just not booting, can you factory reset in recovery or try flashing TWRP and format data and try to boot.

goes halfway and fails to write is there any settings to change in odin
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brejzek:
i cant get into recovery because of the failed odin firmware
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Are you using Odin 3.10.7 or 3.10 series? Defaults are recommended.

You may get KIES to recover it if you Odin parts of the Odin tar extracted. Try stock recovery, and this modem below

http://www.mediafire.com/download/38t6p6v26xmta6i

Flash them twice with no auto reboot and USB and battery pull. Then try KIES to recover.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brejzek:
Ok thanks and odin 10 7
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brejzek:
how should i extract it
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Use 7zip and drag it out of the archive.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brejzek:
should i rename the .img
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brejzek:
also how should i put them into odin as separate files
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
I don't believe that's necessary. To answer your recent question, Odin them separately.

So I researched another issue somewhat similar but this user claimed Odin was flashing but phone not booting. Basically, you could try the above first; if it doesn't work, you could try his steps but if Odin continues to fail, you'd have to find another way or wait on a tar. Sprint or Best Buy could try to flash it.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brejzek:
i do not know where to put the the recovery img
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
AP slot of Odin. Run it just like you would a full image in download mode. Uncheck auto reboot.

Edit: OK, I see now you should compress the recovery.img you extracted to .tar with 7zip to flash in Odin. (Add recovery.img to archive & change archive format to tar).

Edit 2: I tried this on my current setup with Odin 3.10.7 using OJ6 recovery.tar and Odin just sat there; nothing! Googled and found this batch script to convert the recovery.tar to recovery.tar.md5 and Odin flashed it; booted to stock recovery.

rtn for sprint whats that
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Are you seeing that in Odin or are you referring to a dialer code?

There's a long and short dialer code. One is to provision only; I think the other wipes data like a factory reset and provisions also but not sure.

If you see that in Odin, it may be like the above. I haven't looked, my daughter has the PC ATM.

Recently I seen that the fallout 4 game does not have a certain coding integrated into it that as I remember significantly slows games down. The code or encryption starts with the letter D.

Denuvo DRM.

That nightmare was incorporated into Dragon Age Inquisition as well. It works by constantly encrypting and decrypting the game's files during playthrough, causing massive lag and damaging SSD's in the process because of the constant Read/Write load.

Because for some reason, they once again thought it was a good idea to make the game unplayable for people who actually paid money for it, and break their hardware while they're at it.... Which is essentially the core of any DRM. It doesn't bother pirates, it just bothers legitimate customers. :rolleyes:

No, Fallout 4 does not have Denuvo DRM. Thankfully. Just oldfashioned Steam DRM.

How can i change android kitkat UI icon in lillipop
[P3600 Software Upgrading] realn:
Hello,

I would like to follow the procedure for customizing the splash screen as described here

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_SplashScreen

At first, I didn't know where to get the program ROMUpgradeUt.exe, then I found (quite difficultly - sometimes the obvious for one is so obfuscated for the other one) that is contained in any ROM image. And that any ROM image is an archive. Well, I downloaded 2 Dopod ROM images, renamed them from .exe into .zip (and .rar) , but neither WinZIP, nor WinRAR is able to open the archive.

I remember doing it, could you please help with this issue ?

If you have any other advice on how to customize the splash screen(s), I would be very grateful.

Thank you all.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] realn:
Please, could somebody help me with this ?
[P3600 Software Upgrading] nealed:
It is not clear what you want!

You should not be renaming any .exe files to .zip or .rar.

Try right clicking on the .exe file (dopod rom downloaded) and if you have winzip installed you will have a winzip menu in the context sensitive menu. - Choose Extract to - and extract the contents of the .exe to a folder.

You also will have extract to as an option on your right click menu if you have 7-zip (free) installed.

Once you extract the ROM you will have all the ROM and upgrade files. You can Now delete the .nbh file (the ROM) and replace it with the splash ROM .nbh file that you created using the instructions that you are following. (Use the same file name to be sure).

Now use the RUUtility.exe to flash your splash:D
[P3600 Software Upgrading] realn:
Hi, thanks for the reply. I remember that last time I did the same operation I had to rename the file. I might be wrong. Anyhow, I'll try to do as you said.

Thanks again.
[Moto G General] lost101:
The following information is specific to Moto G (1st Gen - Falcon)​

How to prevent a Hard-Brick | Lost IMEI​

Definition: Hard-brick; Phone will not power on - no access to fastboot screen.

Definition: Lost IMEI; Phone will no longer connect to Carrier | Network despite working SIM.

Don’t allow Battery to drain completely

Don’t erase random partitions via Fastboot

Backup your IMEI

Only apply OTA Updates with 50%+ Battery

Don't downgrade to Android 4.4.2

Description:

Some users report a hard-brick after their Moto G battery was drained entirely.

Solution:

Deep Sleep Battery Saver appears to shut phone off at 15% in the event of serious battery-drain issue or event (flashlight left on). Alternative apps probably exist.

Use Android 4.4.4 or newer; earlier versions of Stock Motorola ROMs | Firmware have a sudden battery drop issue.​

Description:

Erasing partitions via Fastboot can result in lost IMEI.

Fastboot is not user-friendly. In seconds you can completely destroy your phone -

you will be given no warning messages

.

Solution:

The only safe Fastboot erase command is: Fastboot erase userdata​

Description:

A small percentage of users have experienced a hard-brick after applying an OTA Update.

Solution:

This could be related to the Moto G battery draining to 0%. OTA Updates also include Bootloader upgrade - another possible cause.​

Description:

Many people found themselves with a hard-brick after downgrading to 4.4.2 and then applying the 4.4.4 OTA Update.

Solution:

If you must use KitKat, only flash one of the 4.4.4 Factory Firmware Images available here. It is safest to avoid flashing the Bootloader (motoboot.img) - to reduce the risk of causing damage.​
[Moto G General] S0bes:
In case battery is fully discharged the solution is to plug it to charger for an hour and then hold vol down btn, then hold power btn and you should hold them both for 2 minutes. Leave your fingers from buttons you have been pressing. You're in fastboot mode now. Press vol up btn to reboot.

In case this didn't work you have to replug battery connector.

So, you can't hard brick your phone cause of battery. You're always able to fix it. And btw I believe motorola has already fixed that battery dead bug cause it's been a lot of time since I saw people facing that problem.

What tip is really useful is that:

Don't ever apply ota updates if your bootloader is unlocked. Wait for fastboot image and flash it. In that case I guarantee you won't get hardbricked device cause of new bootloader ota can contains

Upd

And as far as I know you still can get your signal back after loosing email and not having backup of your partions

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63211631&postcount=328

Upd 2

About bricks. It's all about messing with bootloaders. If you downgrade to 4.4.4 then apply ota for 5.0.2 you'll brick your phone. 444>442(443)>ota 444 brick again
[Moto G General] lost101:
[MENTION=4413273]S0bes[/MENTION] - Thanks for your insight. I'm fairly sure the people I spoke with did try everything to resolve their 'hard-brick after entire battery discharge' scenario, but I will add your solution. Also, I do say that since Android 4.4.4, Motorola have patched the 'sudden battery drop' bug.

I actually really love the charge sound, in fact I consider it one of those must have features...since owning these devices with micro USB ports, which to me are inherently weak, hearing that sound is reassuring that the port is operative, and if my phone is plugged in, and the sounds starts going on and off without purpose, I know that I have a problem...and yeah. I know that the USB c port is way sturdier, but it's still nice to know it's working...my solution is a Tasker variable that emits a sound whenever the power state changes.

Hello, it's been a long time since I messed with this but I'm smart. I'm also in a rush (unfortunately) to find a TW-based firmware that I can flash to from CM11.

The end goal is to use the unlock code I just purchased, but that won't work because I'm on CM11, I assume.

I'm knee deep in information, half of which I understand, half of which I think I barely understand.

What information do you need to help me?

From what I understand, being on a 4.4.4 CM 11 I must have a firmware that is at least android 4.3 or higher, is that correct?

If so, what other specs do I need to ensure I don't brick the phone from having the wrong bootloader, modem, ect from being incompatible?

Effectively, I'm tyring to find firmware to get back to any TW-based firmware from CM11 android 4.4.4. (Also somewhat unsure if it needs to be just TW based or 100% stock)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
The first thing I would recommend is to verify your bootloader and modem version. There is a playstore app, Phone Info *Samsung*, by vndnguyen that will do this. Or you can use the terminal emulator that is in CM roms and find out with these two commands:

getprop ro.bootloader
getprop | grep version.baseband

All I have seen indicates you will need to be on a stock rom with a stock dialer to use the code. You may even need to unroot before using (I am not sure about root/unroot.) Before recommending any stock rom source, are you using an i747 or an i747M?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] politelyowned:
I know that it is an I747. I will comment again when I have the info for bootloader and modem.

So lets assume we find a rom that is; i747 gs3 stock rom and stock dialer; meets android version requirements (which I would love to have confirmed, based on the OP); compatible bootloader and modem; and is rooted, and the unlock code doesn't work. If we assume the unlock failed because it is rooted, is there a way to unroot the phone that doesn't require flashing a different, unrooted, to spec, rom? That is something that I truly don't understand what is happening.

Is there a wiki, or a list, or somewhere I can go to learn more about bootloaders and modems? I don't understand how they play into the overall configuration; such as how they may be X or Y when I'm running CM11, instead of being mandatory for a given configuration. I guess that question is, what prerequisites determine the bootloader and modem options that one may be and can be running or that one can flash successfully.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
Some of the stock ROMs will remove root, that would be one way to resolve the issue. If you flash a stock image that is rooted, and it is rooted with SuperSu you can use the options in the SuperSu app to either temporarily unroot or to completely remove root.

I don't recall seeing a specific source for info about what bootloader / modem is needed in each situation. Most is accumulated knowledge from reading many posts and threads.

There are variations on what is correct, it all depends on the specifics of a device's status. For example, CM 11 would run on 4.3 bootloaders and modems up until about September of a year ago (or was that two years ago), since then you need to be on 4.4.2 bootloaders and modems. I think the same held true for AOSP based roms. I don't recall seeing where any of the 5.x.x roms have run on 4.3 bootloaders and modems. (Well, I think the devices run but have signal and data issues - both 4.4.x and 5.x.x roms.)

Generally you will see it said that the 4.4.2 Touchwiz based custom roms must be on 4.4.2 bootloaders and modems. In truth there were a number of such roms that would run with the 4.3 bootloader and modem IF one of a few specific kernels were flashed just after the rom was flashed.
