[Q] Cannot flash Stock Rom n5100 - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Hi,
I am trying to flash stock ROM on GT-n5100 with no success. I will first recap what I did:
1. Tried to flash N5100XXBMD1 EUR version from samsung-updates with odin and it failed with invalid volume size
2. Recovery was not working, I flashed CWM and recovery mode was still not working, only the gt-n5100 logo.
3. Flashed stock recovery, and recovery mode still not accesible, stuck in the same logo.
4. After flashing recovery, device booted in normal android. Tried to root using galaxy note 8.0 toolkit 1.1 and insecure boot method and now the device doesn't boot at all, it gets stuck in gt-n5100 logo.
5. I can enter download mode, but every stock firmware I try to flash fails with invalid volume size message on the tablet.
So, I think I may have a problem with the partitioning. I may have got broken somehow. Does someone have the pit file for N5100XXBMD1 ? or a 3 part stock firmware I can try to flash?
The pit file can be extracted from a working n5100 using Heimdall Suite in download mode. Maybe I can use a .pit file from another n5100 running N5100XXBMD1 ?
Also can you please tell if I'm doing something wrong? I double and triple checked all options in Odin.
Thank you.

I tried to recover from Kies but the device is in download mode and it doesn't appear in kies emergency recovery. I will try from another PC/USB port tomorrow and post the result.

Tried from a different PC and same problem from Odin "Invalid volume size".I can't seem to find the serial number on the device to use Kies Firmware Initialization, but as I recall, yesterday when Android booted, Kies said that initialization is not supported for this device.
Anyway, can anyone extract the pitfile from their n5100? Or give me a serial number that works in Kies?
Thank you.

I checked from Kies with the serial number that I got from the box and it says "GT-N5100 does not support initializing".
Can someone with a N5100 extract the .pit file from it's tablet? It would be very helpful. I can guide you through the process using Heimdall 1.3.1. It is done in download mode.
Also if anyone has another idea on how to revive this tablet I would really appreciate it.

For anyone that can help me with this .pit file, It will not harm your tablet in any way. The procedure does not write anything to your tablet, You just nee to install Heimdall Suite on your pc, put the tablet in download mode, connect it and the app has a buton that says Download .pit file.

I guess no one has a couple of minutes to extract a .pit file from it's N5100
Ok then. I'll look into the option of sending the tablet to Samsung. Too bad I can't get help here, but at least I tried.

Download the appropriate zip for your carrier from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 and then flash with odin. Keep in mind the person that hosted these hosted them on a website with incredibly slow download times. It often cuts out on you too, so make sure at the end of the download the file size is right. You may have gotten a bad download earlier.
If I have helped, slap that thanks button

I would recommend installing kies from samsung and trying to flash the firmware with them. That should fix it no matter what and make sure that you do have the right drivers installed. Also make sure you have the right version of odin running. Here is download link for kies on PC (I assume you have PC) http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201306/20130612104232657/KiesSetup.exe just install, plug your phone in and hopefully it recognizes it. Even if it doesn't, it might install some drivers that make odin work. Let me know if it fixes it

Hi,
No it didn't work. I tried to flash a lot of boot files and firmwares ... And inthe last try my phone switched off in te middle of the process without wanting to switch on again: hard brick!!
Since your phone is still able to switch on and enter recovery mode ... I recommand to let the nearest samsung store deal whit it.
Good luck
Hi
Whit cmd on terminal emulator attached #1 we can create the pit file (not good for devices 32 GB). I made it. We have it on Sdcard.
It is out.pit inside out.zip.
The PitMagic is appl to extract the pit file on Windows Pc. Choice PIT file Analysis and open the file. Only to verify if the Pit is alright (this out.pit is) and have a listing if is good.
PIT_Analyses is the listing from the Pit File created on my S4 Mini I9195. The partition number is the "identifier".
I made this but never tried it. If you want try at Your risk, my out.pit created.
WOW

Hi, it is possible to create a pit file to have more space in interial memory? In my second phone Galaxy s2 (16Gb) I "put" pit file with 6GB. And from this time I do not have any problem to install everything i wont. For s4 mini LTE 8GB it is possible?
Hi,
I noticet it was possible through this thread to obtain a pit file for the S4 mini to restore factory settings.
I need a pit file too but modified using the combination of internal storage+SD card.
I created a thread for this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...5-pit-file-t3199645/post62789202#post62789202
I was told to use pit magic but I do.not know how to use it well.and hot to.combine both media.
Can someone please help me out reaching my goal?
Unfortunately, till I do not get this pit file (proper and reliable) I vlcannot installed/upgrade to Lollipop.
Thank you

thats correct, when flashing .pit file nothing is checked-its not repartioning , after it passes (if) , go ahead and flash firmware, dont disconnect.
uvkl1 was the gingerbread these phone came with, but i was told this would work with ics.(uvli4)

Try using Heimdall. Use this pit file ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53455783) with the 4.0.4 stock ROM from samfirmware.com and flash it using Heimdall with repartition checked. This is what worked for me when nothing else did. I was using Linux, but there is Heimdall for windows. Make sure you install Heimdall and Heimdall frontend as the frontend makes it a lot easier. Run the frontend for the above steps.

There are good videos on YouTube, but basically decompress the tar file to get more files. All the file names match the names in Heimdall except modem which I believe is amss.bin.

I don't have a link for the drivers (I use Linux, so there is no need for drivers,) but a Google search should lead you in the correct direction. Also, make sure you run Heimdall as admin, or the device might not be recognized. To get the individual files, decompress the tar.md5 or .tar file.
You do not want to use "Load Package." Go to the flash tab. First try it without repartition checked. Use 4.0.4 from samfirmware.com with this pit file. I have an image below explaining everything hopefully.
I just saw the Windows 8.1 part. Windows 8 can sometimes cause problems with Odin, but it is worth trying Heimdall. If you have a Linux machine and Windows doesn't work, I would try that.

What bootloader is on your phone? If you don't know, boot into download mode and look for a reference to warranty bit. If you see something about warranty bit, that means you have at least a 4.3 bootloader and you can't flash a stock ROM unless the ROM was compiled for flashing in Odin.
If you have at least the 4.3 bootloader, I suggest flashing Philz Touch custom recovery via Odin. Copy a CM10.2 or early CM11 ROM onto an external SD card, boot into recovery, and flash the ROM. This will at least get you phone running to determine exactly which bootloader and baseband are on your phone.
I'm not sure what bootloader I was on, I think it was mjb software . I assume I was on the latest and I tried to flash a previous version and now my phone is hard bricked. I bought a jig on eBay and it should come early this week. I guess what my next question is, is if I can get into download mode using the jig, what software would I need to flash using Odin 3.09.
Sorry I'm kinda new to Odin and the gs3 flashinng so I'm not familiar with it (I also have a nexus 5 so I'm used to using fastboot). Could someone post what files I need to get my gs3 back in order assuming I can get into download mode?
Thank you for all of your help, it sucks having a bricked phone and not really knowing how to fix it.
Does your phone turn on at all? If not, a jig probably won't help.
It does but doesnt turn on. When i hold the power button nothing happens and it does not vibrate. But when i plug it into the computer the usb sound goes off and the red led comes on (Charging phone LED). Do you think a jig will help?
When you connect the phone, what does it say in device manager? Of it says something like qusb load, it may be hard bricked.

When i plug it into the computer it shows up as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM7)"
Does that mean im screwed? Is there anything I can do?
Since the phone will not go into download or recovery, you may have to have it jtagged. Before doing that, did you try to de-brick it?
This may help too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068

That should be the PIT file you need.

I need stock firmware from ANYONE SM-t807A it does not exist on the web.

I have spent days looking, turn on goes to kies firmware screen yet when i put in the model and s/n it shuts and the new samsung app to replace kies is of no help. I can get to the download screen and odin shows it up but no ATT 10.5 Tab S Sm-T807A firmware ANYWHERE.
Please help this is a very very expensive paperweight and im not affiliated with ATT so them helping me is out of the question.

They dont have it for the SM-T807A
0 Results found
You searched for "sm-t807a"
It would better if you just explain what state the tablet is in and how it got to that state.
There is no official software for the t807a.
OK here how it goes,
The tablet was completely fine.
The original owner ( a family member) tried to root it and didnt accomplish it, somehow through his process it ended up softbricked.
I can enter he download mode for odin but no firmware for this LTE model.
When I turn it on it goes to the kies screen but kies doesnt recognize it, and when I enter the serial it buffers for 2 seconds then closes the process of kies.
Also it says device isnt supported and yes I have installed the right drivers and uninstalled kies numerous times.
The new replacement prog for Kies (forgot the name) is no help either.
Im terrified of what to do next as it does go to the odin screen just no firmware as I stated.
Any update, or could someone upload the stock firmware so i can use Odin on it.
Samsung told me ATT can flash it for free onto it so its deff a possibility however I do not have a ATT account so they cant help me.
It doesn't boot because the stock recovery has been wiped/replaced.
Thats assuming you have tried to boot recovery?
The att models are all bootloader locked.
I'm surprised a bootloader locked device even allowed an unsigned image to flash or did they use something like flashify?
The stock ota update was posted by someone here a while back. Your only chance is to pull the recovery from it and try and flash it in download mode. However odin may refuse to flash it.
If I can find it I can pull out the recovery.img and post a modified cf_autoroot which will try and flash the original recovery, that's if odin will even accept the image.
I was used with something like kingroot.

this i would highly appreciate as the firmwares not deleted just corrupted.
i have searched the whole web.

The images won't flash as they are raw unsigned images.
The update should contain a signed recovery image, but may still not flash with odin as the tar package you make will not be signed either and odin may refuse to flash
There may be a way though, another member managed to brick their device by flashing twrp using Heimdall, but couldn't then flash back the stock recovery with Heimdall.
If somehow the stock recovery can be forced to flash with Heimdall then there's a chance of unbricking the device.
I worked just flashed the FW part through AP did it on a friends pc all is back to new.
if you need a link for the ripped files just pm me.
also odin was used.

Unfortunately, Heimdall shows the same behaviour as Odin has.
AFAIK they are using the same protocol and seems that recovery CRC/sign check done via device internally, not via flashing tool.

Did you use command line or gui?
I used GUI, i didnt do the bootloader or choose any special clickies, I simply tried another pc with the same FW and it flashed in a hearbeast with PASS.
USB hubs are the devil, TRY EVERY USB PORT YOU HAVE
Kies sucks so does the new one.
any issues PM me and ill set you straightm any public questions ask away.
You have to download the IMG files and use the IMG to TAR app, I will provide a ZIP with all tars included but I assure you dont start ****ing around with bootloader images stick to AP.
AT&T is he devil.
The new Rockstar Whipped Strawberry OWNS, Oraneg Creme is Meh.

The gui question was for synphonica about Heimdall.
Are you saying you flashed the images with odin? Which version and which images?
This has been tried before and failed.
Also what do you mean you tried a pc with the same firmware, same firmware as what?
I'm new to rooting so be gentle, I just bought a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 sm-t807a (AT&T) with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. I want to backup the stock ROM (firmware) so I can go back just in case I bricked it when rooting or installing custom ROM. I searched the web but there are no clear instruction on how to do it for an unrooted sm-t807a. Can someone provide me with a step-by-step instruction? I can share my backup of the stock ROM afterward since there does not seem to be one on the web. Thank you in advance for your help.

You can only root with Kingroot, don't try any other method or you'll brick it nor can you install a custom kernel or recovery.
Once you have root you can pull the partition images with EFS PRO or PARTITION BACKUP.
The best way to have a back up is to catch the stock Firmware update.
This is tricky so research how to do it.
There is one backup I know of:
