Hello
I bought this phone in China and was stupid enought to try the firmware update with odim using the version for a s7562. As you can imagine the phone did not work and I had to go back to the original firmware.
The problem is that none of the versions I found on internet works.
Well, they work more or less. The phone starts and can even receive calls. Even Kies is able to reconize and update the firmaware.
Problem is that the buttons dont work and the touch screen is erratic, making it impossible to effectively use the phone.
Is there any idea what the problem could be? Wrong version of firmware or something else? If the problem is the firmware, is there any chance that I can find the right one?
Thank you very much for your help and attention. See you!

I guess I figure the problem. I was able to look into the phone specifications and I need the following firmware:
S7562iZCLK2
Does anyone have any idea where to get it?
Thank you

Your best hope is this firmware:

If it doesn't work then I am sorry the best way is to take it to samsung (chinese) center. One of my friend did the same mistake, and he flashed it with stock kernel and took to Samsung for repair.
did you try this firmware, what happened?
As I said we flashed the stock and sent it to Samsung. They fixed it under warranty.

I made an incredibly stupid mistake and didn't notice what the actual model number for my S4 Mini was. I used a guide to root it as if it were a GT-I9195 and now I've completely screwed it up. When it booted I couldn't connect to any type of network and the soft keys didn't work at all. I tried to install what I thought was the original firmware to the phone, but again didn't know I had the wrong model number. How do I restore my phone to its original state? I no longer care if it is rooted or not, I would just like to have a working cell phone again.

Same here
Also needing help with the exact same problem. C'mon, Devs.......Sometimes us simple folk get in past our depth and need a little help.
Hello to everyone, I was wondering if anyone can help with this. I have a Galaxy Note 2 branded by an Italian company (3hg Italia). It recently received its update to Android 4.3 (update N7100XXUEML2). It was the official update OTA, the phone is not rooted and it had the stock ROM on it. The update somehow messed up my IMEI making it appear as the generic 0049 forcing me on "Emergency calls only" mode. I already tried flashing the same ROM with Odin and repeating the update with KIES, but while the updates always results successful the IMEI remains 0049. I never made a backup of the EFS folder for this phone since I haven't rooted it or flashed any different ROM on it yet. There is any chance that the phone made an automatic backup? I live in the States right now and Samsung tells me I need to ship it back to Italy to have it fixed, but that costs a lot and would take forever, and I would much prefer try to solve the problem locally. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, if not for any fix that I can try myself, at least some place on the West Coast that can fix the problem!
Thank you!
Lorenzo
Oh I forgot to add that because of Hardware problems I recently sent my phone to Samsung and they replaced the motherboard, which fixed the problem I was having. I don't know if that could be related!

I'm afraid that fix works just if you have your actual IMEI, I instead have the generic IMEI that starts with 0049. But I will check it out! Thanks!

Then you should simply flash another modem from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044937 ... flash a custom recovery first.

So I found someone nice enough to give me a hand with this situation, but still no luck yet! Here what they say:
At first glance, the EFS data on the phone was corrupt. I re-generated
that data and restored it to the phone without success.
The GSM radio itself is operational, and the firmware for it is
installed and functional. diagnostic data flows to the towers and back
to the phone but it's not reading the IMEI from the copy of
nv_data.bin contained within EFS. I've re-generated and installed
those files as well, again with no luck.
I rolled the device back to it's original factory firmware and radio
baseband, then ran through the update for the radio baseband, which
also regenerates the contents of EFS, and still no luck.
Given the situation, anyone have other suggestions?
OK so the att tab s was rooted I, impulsivity, decided to try and flash Xposed through FlashFire. I mistakenly flashed the wrong zip though. I am now left with a tab that only goes to firmware trouble screen. My computer recognizes it, as does Odin. Like I said Kies is saying it doesn't support it so right now I'm stuck. I refuse to give up, so any and all help would be appreciated
can you go to recovery? then only way i can think off is format data thru recovery.
Cannot get into recovery
Explain what the zip was that you flashed?
I flashed the wrong exposed installer..I can't remember exactly which as this was done awhile ago. You answered my original post when it happens I think you said it wiped the partitions?

Was this device running KITKAT or LOLLIPOP?

Well you didn't reply to that thread.
Wow you're right. I'm sorry I didn't even realize I didn't respond. So sorry for that. I tried those files and they didn't take, I cannot get into recovery and now I'm stuck at this stupid screen
I'm hooked up to Kies on my Mac and it's trying to connect but hasn't, so I tried manually entering is the name and sn . When I do I get up Kies pop-up to check the name I am entering "SM-T807A"

Did they actually flash with odin or just fail?
That screen usually presents itself when something fails to flash.
They failed, I don't remember what was flash to cause that screen. I have no problem getting Odin to connect..I just lack the right files apparently. The only option I see if I have a friend with the same tab so I could try to connect his tab to my laptop and have Kies download the firmware. But like I said Kies on my windows laptop is saying it doesn't support the device

You can't get the Firmware via kies. It's only available via ota or from an authorised Samsung reseller.
OK so I guess I'm SOL ... Thanks for the help anyway

Well I had requested many times for someone to catch the OTA when it came, but not one person could be bothered to make the effort. So now you and others are in this unfortunate situation. [emoji19]
If someone with root can pull the system.img from a T807a running lollipop there may be a chance it would flash.
Yeah I saw you asked that a few times while I was searching through threads. I have even thought about replacing the mother board lol. I got the us cellular variant really cheap on eBay so I don't need this tab but this is my first brick out of all the devices I have owned. So it's a pride thing lol...
So would any exynos variant stock recovery work? I'm pretty sure I was on 5.0.2

It's unlikely any other recovery would work, even though it would be compatible, it will likely just get rejected by the bootloader.
However you've nothing to lose by trying.
Like is had said in your original thread... If you can find a samsung support store or even bestbuy (although the ones around here have no idea what they are doing), they can flash the original firmware for you... The same thing happened to me with xposed, except I installed the right one, it just bricked the tablet, which i suspect is because we can't get any other recovery nor unlock our tablets, all we can do is root them...

I guess I'm lost.. you said odin recognizes it, so why didn't you just flash the stock firmware over?
Nvm just realized there were 2 pages. Did you try getting the firmware from sammobile.com?

I am in a very big problem.
Read carefully if you want to help me.
I rooted my honor 7x for trying the aosp 8.0 oreo rom i found that rom very intresting and very awesome i cant complain as it was its initial stage.
But then i moved to the official firmware of honor 7x but after flashing that from pc many functions got extinct...
Like-no volte
No update app
No system files app
And many other apps
Though i am okay with the app but cant live without volte if there is someone who knows the solution please help me.
Thanx in advance
My phone number- MOD EDIT: I removed your phone number. It's a bad idea to give away your phone number on a public forum with over 8 million members.
Did you flash original firmware? Has your build number changed?

Did you go back to the exact same firmware?
What is the buildnumber before and after, is it the same?
How did you go back to stock?
Because I was in the same position and tried flashing some dts.img etc. image files from some other variant and completely bricked the phone. Had to take it to service centre and replace motherboard. Only then they could flash stock rom.
Yes the build number have changed
I searched the whole internet but i cant find one so flashed some other like same firmware but as i told the features were missing. Can you tell how much they costed you to replace the motherboard...thanx for replying.
Thanqu
Please don't do that!

Oh my God! the world is round! I was in the exact same position yesterday as you are now! Only blunder I did was to flash some more img files and totally brick the phone. You still have hope as you asked for help before trying anything stupid!
You can directly go to service centre and get it flashed without any motherboard replacement. They should be able to power the phone up, that is all. Mine was totally dead.
By the way, mine was under warranty and there were not many technical people at the front desk of the service centre. So I did not have to lie and did not mention unlocked boot loader etc. Just told them I tried to flash a software update of different variant and that bricked the phone (which is true). So they changed the motherboard for free! didn't take a single penny.

Hi,
Can anyone help... I bricked my S20 Ultra SM-G9880 and tried using odin3 to flash firmware but it is asking for the Super Image so fails the process.
It say on screen; An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software but when I download this it says the S20 is not compatible.
Please can anyone help it was a lot of money?

first off, what did you do to brick an expensive phone? Is it because you can't wait for the update to come along that you tried switching different Firmware without back reading some threads beforehand?? i'm not here to offend you or belittle you, in fact we have the same device and variant, HK- SM-G9880 to be precise.

I was trying to change rom to HK instead of Taiwan because I thought it might get rid of the chinese writing and be more western friendly... Wasn't really thinking... it was an expensive mistake.
Is there away to fix?

You probably have to read this topic about samkey so just dig this thread and read about the samkey. How it can fix your phone depends on what youll choose otherwise i can still suggest using samsung switch from pc and do an emergency installation but as always find a topic about it first and do the most suitable thing for you.

Hi thanks for comment... I flashed odin but it didn't remove lock. Maybe because it is a modern phone? I have given it to a local phone repair shop so hopefully they will fix for me.

Hi Folks,
I posted this thread and just wanted to thank everyone who offered advice. I have managed to fix the phone now.
I flashed latest firmware with Odin and included .PIT file i extract from the CSC file.
So pleased to have it back!
Many thanks to @[email protected], this method worked as a charm.
