Hi Does it worked for you? i also have a N920F and actual is N920V, does the Flashing of 920V worked for you?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdul Amin:
Same phone

I had the same phone. I use cpu-z to check my phone and it shows that mine was from verizon. Since i failed to update any latest firmware, so i flash original stock firmware (u can find it in sammobile website) and i can easily update to the latest firmware at ease. After the flash, please factory reset ur phone. After resetting ur phone, if u use simcard from other than verizon u can setting network manually. There is no need to unlock it. If ur phone failed to update automatically, use samsung smart switch. It will update ur phone automatically ?

Thanks ashyx and Nandr0idC0nsumer.

I didn't realise that you could simply flash stock ROM using TWRP. All guides I have seen pointed to Odin or Heimdall.

In that case, how can I get system.img from T705XXU1BOL2_T705OLB1BOL2_T705DXU1BOJ1_HOME.tar.md5?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightn1ng:
Rename the .tar.md5 to .tar. Now open it with WinRAR (free application) and extract system.img and boot.img. Now flash those in twrp and you're done ;)

Not sure where to start asking for help. Here is where I'm at :

Twrp (2.8.6?) works great... Too good

Used it to create a complete Nandroid of my original (jb) system.. I backed up everything I could see.

Installed a blisspop rom that also worked.

Decided to return to the original system .

In twrp did factory reset, advanced wipe of dalvic cache, data, and system each time.

Did restore with md5 check. 6 md5's all good, no failures

Restore from Nandroid file on ext micro sd. Everything successful. No fails reported anywhere.

Reboot. System tries to start but returns to twrp instead of booting to system. Have done this 3 times with same results.

My stock was something like UEUCOI1.

I hate to have to start over but will if that's the best I can do. If so I don't know where to proceed from here. Where to locate a stock room

Any suggestions are much appreciated,

Best regards,

Dr Dan

Thank you very much Jonathan. Your words are more comforting than you know and much appreciated. It'll be late today before I've time to test this out but I'll get back with you either way.

Best regards,

Dr Dan :victory:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drdan123:
Hi Jonathan,

I got the back cover off and found something that I suspect is the serial number. It is SNR32CB01G4SN. Does that seem right to you? Inside the back cover (plastic) is KIGDSW1102 504B. Regardless it never asks for a serial number.

Your instructions call for a model number. I could not find one inside the back cover. The smart switch PC app is calling for a model name. There is no place for a serial number. The app will not accept GT-N8013 in the name space nor will it accept Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.

I don't know what other info I can give it. What do you recommend?

Thanks for helping me get started,

Dr Dan
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drdan123:
Update :

After experimenting and pushing a bunch of buttons I was able to get it to accept the model name as GT-N8013 and the serial number as written above except that I omitted the first 2 letters (SN). The search then reported...

"'GT-N8013' does not support initializing. Please contact our service center."

Looks like I'm still up the proverbial Creek. Stuck in TWRP never never land.

Thanks for trying ,

Dr Dan

Update. Upon reading about smart switch it says it is only good for devices with android 4.3 or higher. This tablet in its last update was 4.1.2. The last rom I had (Blisspop) was 5.1.1 but I doubt samsung would accept that as valid software.

Conclusion, smart switch is a dead end. I'm hoping to make either gnoba or hyperdrive rom work but am having a hard time getting the files needed. Also cannot make Sammobile site work so I cannot get the original firmware to flash.

I'll keep swinging as long as I can. :eek:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] furkey:
I actually starting to think that twrp is just not the right recovery for Note 10.1. When I was trying to flash the original software it happened to me too. It just has a bug or insufficiency to install system on some roms. Here is what I did:

-Installed gnabo rom for a system base. I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU FLASH THE SAME BASED ROM WITH THE ROM YOU WANT TO FLASH.

-Wipe everything EXCEPT system.

-Flash the rom you want. In my case it was the stock rom.

Well, not a proper, solid solution but if it's working, who cares? :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drdan123:
Hi furkey,

I also saw the gnabo room. I got 6 files...

Gnabo room v8

N801x+v6. Zip

Update-supersu-v1. 99.zip

Gt-n8013-kk-WiFi -fix .zip

Stock-gt-n8000-leaked-kk-boot.img-cwr-installer.zip (really a convoluted name?)

V8-final-fix.zip

I was unable to get the kernal. Each attempt sent me to the playstore to install Mega drive. I have it already installed and am fully subscribed but...

I wrote Mikyno (the creator of gnabo) asking for help but never heard back.

The morass of gnabo files is bewildering. I don't know what I need and don't need and how or with what tools to load them.

I'm pretty sure I need the kernal as I understand it the kernal is the interface between hardware and software. Without it and without some guidance or support from the creator I gave up.

Then I spent a couple of days trying to locate a 4.1,2 stock firmware (ready to give up on roms altogether) . There were several published but all links have expired and the posters do not respond. Sammobile requires a puzzle be solved to register. I spent several hours trying to make my tablet move a puzzle piece. No success.

Finally I gave up and reloaded the blisspop I'd installed to start this journey. It is a bit flakey at times but it's all I have. I cannot go forward and cannot go backward.

Any directions you can send my way are much appreciated.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badteddy:
Hello,

I too am experiencing this. I really can't throw this device away. I have even tried a stock rom from high on android. Downloaded and used odin to flash to no avail. I hope anyone will have an answer or another stock rom or anything!

Thank you!

Tony
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drdan123:
Hi badteddy,

Perhaps we can work this out together. I'd like to try out the stock rom you have. I went to the site but was unable to search very well at all and could not find any stock roms. Can you send me a download link to it? I assume it is for the UEUCOI1 build. I think anything close should work. I also assume your tablet is the GT-N8013 Wifi only version.

Have you loaded the blisspop rom and twrp both? I have both working as advertised with a minor improvement.

Looking forward to hearing from you ,

Dan
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badteddy:
Dr. Dan!

of course! here's the link:

http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-10-1-2/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-10-1-factory-firmware/

the link to download the rom is here:

http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyNote10.1/N8013/N8013UEALI3_N8013XARALI3_XAR.zip

i have not tried the blisspop rom. I believe I was using the latest twrp.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] furkey:
Just do what I said in the first place. It worked out for me and I have a strong feeling that it will work out for you too (well, hopefully). You can use just the main rom file, not thinking others are required too. Or you can simply flash the tab s sensation rom instead of gnabo rom. It can be found in this page: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-10-1/development/gnabo-rom-x-tab-s-feature-t3164779. Notify me if you succeed or not.

And do not forget to mention me otherwise I may not notice that you have wroten to me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drdan123:
Hi Tony,

Thanks much for the links. That site has always given me grief. When I select download it simply takes me back to the same page to select download again etc. This time your 2nd link worked! Great day. I got the file, unzipped it, removed the ". Md5" extension and ran the md5 Checker. It failed. I hope you checked yours before installing it. Is there any other place I can get that file. Upon returning to the same page to dl the file again I got stuck back in the old circle I have always found myself in.

On anther note; I think furkey is stepping in to help. He wants us to try the gnabo rom. It looks good but there are 7 files needed. I don't know if furkey was referring to you or to me in his last post. I'll ask and see. I think he can easily clear the air on what is needed to load gnabo.

I also am using the latest twrp (2.8.6 I think).

I'll get back when I learn more.

Dr Dan
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drdan123:
Hi furkey,

Thanks much for stepping in. I'm assuming you mean me instead of (possibly in addition to) badteddy.

I'd never heard of the tab s rom. It looks really good. The gnabo scares me a little. My concern is you likely have flashed more support software than I. What works for you may well crash mine.

The tab s rom was given without an md5 so I can only hope I got a good download.

Once I've rebuilt my courage I'll give it a go and report back to you (and badteddy) with results.

Best regards,

Dr Dan

I don't recall a stylus on the tab s. Does this rom support the active stylus? Do you know if there is an addon that will include support of not? I'll also ask the creator but I've yet to hear back from any rom maker save the sweet lady that made the blisspop rom.... Needy blonde.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] furkey:
It's not a Tab S rom. It's a Note 10.1 rom with Tab S features in it like new touchwiz, file explorer and etc. Your s-pen will work on this rom.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drdan123:
OK. I tried out the Tab S Sensation Rom. It is outstanding. Here is a link that shows what I did,

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67440486&postcount=342

Furkey recommended it and he was spot on!

I was never able to dl the link you gave but I did find the file and checksum on a different mirror. I finally got it but have no use for it as the tab s room works better than the stock.

Enjoy,

Dr Dan

Hello,

since 5 years i am playing with google android OS and about 15 devices it looks like i have first fully bricked device.

What happened?

I made a custom marsmallow firmware from the update.zip.

The bad thing was (i think) that i deleted the aboot and also sbl1 partition from the update and also the script for flashing recovery. The second bad thing was (maybe) that i included busybox and root to the update.zip right from the begining without testing the firmware without it.

Then i made complete wipe of cache, dalvik cache, data and system (anothe rmistek i think). Flashed the firmware with no problem, no errors. Then i made wipe cache and dalvik cache again (as i used to, when going to higher OS version).

Afte rthat i hit reboot and my device is dead since then.

It cant be powered on normaly, neither recovery, neither bootloader, neither qualcomm loader.

Only thing that happens is when i connect the device to PC, the LED turns on. I have to tweak the ALCATEL USB drivers to be compatible with my WIN10PRO (yes i hate the win 10 because of the drivers,but had no other option than upgrade to win10).

Now i managed to see the device as "Android HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (yes 9008 not 9006 also bad thing).

When i try to connect to the device with panasonic eluga SUGAR_QCT_SP tool or with mobile upgrade Q or with SUGAR_QCT_SP tool i always get error when the tool downloads the MPRG. It cant download it from the device so it gives me error and thats it.

Since I dont have the proper rawprogram0.xml, patch.xml and other mbn files to pus them trough QPST i think i am in the dead end.

So if anybody has any suggestion i wil appreciate it.

If not, i will send it to warranty repair on friday and get finger crossed that they will repair it (while the service in chzech republic who is Alcatel aproved is a bunch of loosers, who do anything to do not have make it as warranty repair).

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DallasCZ:
have tried with 3 PCs with win7 and with 3 usb cables. Still error when downloading MPRG.

I cannot understand where it went wrong. The aboot and sbl1 parition shouldnt affect the device to boot to recovery or to bootloader, because when the sbl1 chechk for aboot it should be fine whle they are the same version.

whether to open or not Тhe service will want money for repair
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DallasCZ:
if they cant boot the device they will probably replace the mainboard so they will not get known if the device was unlocked or rooted.

If i will open it and replace the battery i will break the stamps on the battery so they will know i was inside the device and they will refuse to make it as warranty repair.

SO if there is no software option i will send it to warranty repair. If they will refuse to repair it as warranty repair. then i will consider to open it and do whatever it takes to get it to life :)
