Hello All,
I have this samsung galaxy note 2 locked with telus canada. Right now its stuck on samsung logo screen.
1) I have tried factory reset but i cannot enter that menu , its just keep on coming back to samsung logo.
I have tried to put it in download mode and tried stock rom with ODIN but it shows failed after few seconds
2) i have tried to install TWRP on it and tried to wipe thru that but same problem, right now its showing no OS installed in it
3) I tried to bring it to stock after putting stock rom in a SD card and tried it access SD card from TWRP but its not recognizing SD card, I have tried to replace sim card+ sd card tray on motherboard just to rule out if there is any hardware issue
4) I have tried to mount SD card thru TWRP but its keep on coming back with lots of error messages ( picture attached)
5) tried advanced wipe in TWRP but lot of error messages again ( picture attached)
I am trying to find a rescue firmware or emergency firmware for samsung galaxy note 2 i317M , if any body know a reliable link please let me know or any other advice will be appreciated .
if you need any other information from my side please let me know
Thanks in advance
What is the model of the note 2 as that may help others in finding a solution to the problems that you are facing with your note 2
Same problem happened to me after 2/3 days after mounting the "rom DN4". Now I connect it to my computer and is easily recognized by Odin but I try to install the original firmware, the process is successful but in reality nothing happens. As if it would record more changes !!!! I hope we can help !! I include photos of recovery !!!!
Model number for note 2 is SGH-i317M , sorry i forgot to mention that in my post, and it came with Telus , Canada

Hello ,
I thing the best should be :
Download the original rom from SamMobile.
Install it with odin PC
Root the rom
After, if you want , install a custom rom.
I hope that can help you.
It's something that I thought I'd do, but as I wrote, even if the writing process through Odin is reported as successful by both Odin that the phone itself with the advancement of the bar, actually it is not !! I tried to install both original rom 4.1 is 4.4, different bootloader and recovery original but nothing to do !! I hope you have other solutions to help us. Thanks in advance !!!

It's your rom a full wipe rom ?
Have you try with an other version of Odin ? .I had a problem with Odin PC 3.09 but it worked with Odin PC 3.07.
No, the rom was not full wipe. Unfortunately however through Ricovery wipe function does not work as per attached photos. Basically it is as if the phone would not see more memories, in fact marks 0 mb available, but this gives me hope that it's a problem of folder and fs / partitions corrupt, because removing the sd 64gb I filled in the computer works fine again! ! But how to solve it ???? I tried different versions of Odin from 3 to 3:09 !!!
Sorry cardone , no offence , please start your own thread , as you are confusing everything here , I started this thread and nobody is replying to my questions here
Ok, I'm sorry, but I thought that having the same problem or answer me or you do not change !! Anyway I open another 3d. Until next time !!

Hi,
have you try to install an original Samsung rom with Odin PC ?
It's possible TWRP doesn't work well if your phone are locked =Can another user confirme that ?

Finally, after you've tried everything and more without solving the problem I took it in for service. They told me that if it's a software problem (that has corrupted the partition) to others happened like that, is not to cost more than € 20 .......
I hope so !!! Then you update !!

Perhaps you can try flashing twrp recovery again to see if it picks up SD card.
Try flashing a split firmware with re partition enabled and a pit file for your particular model .
If same problem persists then it might be emmc ic problem ( a hardware issue and you need to get it replaced ).
Thanks Sachin , could you please let me know what is the difference between split firmware and stock firmware ? where can i find split firmware for this particular model ?
I am not worrying too much about bricking this phone anyways coz i have tried every other option available here and its already semi bricked now. i would really appreciate if i can make it work anyways. I posted this post almost 2 weeks ago so i guess most of other readers are out of ideas too now. so i would like to go for pit file option now. Please help me in this i have never tried this option before.

Split firmware means separate files for ap, cp, csc, bootloader in odin instead of single file in ap. U have to search for it. And also for pit file for your model.
Then flash it using odin with pit file also selected and re partition enabled.
If this do not solve problem. Then its emmc issue. Get it replaced.

Any Help Sachin , Could you please help me to find separate files for this model ?
My phone's stuck on the firmware from April 1st (specifically LRX21V.WW-ASUS-Z00A-2.13.40.13_20150401_8390_user044030427_201501601090010000500001). I have the TW 4GB/32GB/1.8GHz version of the phone and I have not ever unlocked the bootloader or rooted.
I can check for a OTA but it doesn't come up with anything. I was told to download the firmware from ASUS's support site and flash it from there. I downloaded the WW zip (my phone is currently running the WW version) and made sure it was *-user.zip and put it in the Internal Storage but my phone doesn't detect it. I've rebooted, recopied it, tried with a different version of firmware (still newer than my version) and no matter what I do I don't get the notification to update. I've also since factory reset my phone, which hasn't helped.
ASUS told me to try downloading the WW_2.14.40.19 zip and trying to update with that, but I don't get the notification to update either. My friend who also has the same model as me has exactly the same problem and we both have Android OS swallowing up ~60% of the battery per charge by using up the CPU, which is very annoying.
I have exactly the same problem. I can't update my phone.
The systemupdate.apk also crashes at start.

I am having this issue as well. Anyone figure out how to fix it?
I think I fixed it.
First I flashed a pre-rooted ROM (Like in this tutorial: asus-zenfone.com/2015/04/asus-zenfone-2-pre-root-systemimg.html)
After that, my phone detected the update files.
I hope this will help
I have same problem
That most likely indicates that you have CN device with WW rom slapped on top of it. The only way for OTA is unlocked bootloader and TWRP install, or ADB sideload full update each time new firmware released. If you still can return the device - do it.
Try:
1. Copy the downloaded firmware file to MicroSD
2. Rename it to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
3. Go to recovery mode
And the file should be detected and the update process should start immediately.
Edit: Okay, looks like your guys got it fixed.
Edit2: And oh no, this was actually a one year old thread :-|
Thanks dude!

Hi All
Bought a Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) from lightinthebox...came this week and it is full of either bloatware or malware as I can't use the phone with it popping up randomly with adverts and installing apps. I thought it would be pretty straightforward to update to another ROM. It is running Android 5.0
I've had nothing but problems with every step and method I have used. I've downloaded the stock rom from Asus (Android 6) and tried to install from SD card in Recovery I got 'only android 5.0(newer than 20160504 version) or android 6.1 (older version) can upgrade to this version'
I've tried over ADB and even then had issues with drivers (running windows 10). I've also tried the Asus Flash Tool but that didnt work.
Please please before I literally pop this phone in the bin, can someone provide a link to a working stock ROM that I can just install from the SD or whatever method that is known to work.....too many sites have shown various methods all of which haven't worked for me.

Do you have a working phone now ?
You can if you have above , disable WiFi , click app drawer, click on junk app ,and disable junk and it will uninstall it.
Firmware upgrade...
Put Asus firmware on SD ...WW-4.20 bla bla etc , .184 is a good one of LP ..
Make sure it ends in WW-4-20bla bla .184 (user.zip )and reboot phone
You also can change name of firmware to MOFD_SDUPATE , Put in adb fasboot folder and adb sideload..command is.....
adb sideload MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
Did you try a factory reset in recovery mode rather than a factory reset from the rom?

Update to 2.20.40.184 or newer before upgrading to MM.
Sent from my ASUS_Z00A using XDA Labs
Hi, I recently had issues in rooting the phone but I flashed stock rom/bootloader/recovery and everything was working fine. However, I tried Installing TWRP to make a backup, however, whenever I try to copy from Internal Storage, it returns "Error copying file or folder-- Unspecified Error". From SD to PC works great, USB cable and PC tested with another phone and copying was good. I already tried flashing stock recovery/wiping cache again but still the same error comes up.
I know that wireless transfer is available but transferring large files through cable is definitely faster.
Is it possible that this may be caused by bad firmware? I'm thinking that might be it but unlikely since I downloaded the firmware from ASUS' website.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
What phone is it ? what build number is it ?

Make sure to have stock recovery installed first :good: if having probs try modder tool and return to stock option in modder , flash boot.img and recovery in that option
reboot to system
Factory reset in settings.

Hello to all of you!
I'm a newbie in flashing ROMs... ahaha
I'm trying to install LineageOS 14.1 into my Samsung A5 17 but I'm running into some problems... I hope that someone around here can help me out
So right now I’m on Android 8.0 with the stock Samsung experience, bootloader ecc… I’ve tried to install TWRP and lineageOS 14.1, and it runs fine but it can’t recognize the SIM card! I did some research and turns out that I’ve to install first the stock Samsung ROM with 7.0 nougat and then install lineage in order to make the SIM show up. So I’ve tried to do so but when I try to flash the original stock ROM with Odin it returns this problem:
The flash fails after it tries to insert the param.bin file
The device in download mode return this error:
sw rev. check fail(bootloader) device: 7, binary: 4
Can you give me some advice?
Thanks :angel:
Why would you want to downgrade?
Make sure you have the proper ROM, as well as CS file.
Download said files again.
For some reason my brothers windows 10 partition hates downloading the files properly, on my Linux partition I never had said issues.
Because the I've read in other topics that if downgrade my phone to 7.0 it would be able to read the SIM card after install LineageOS 14.1, but I'm not sure about that. Am I right?
Don't worry I've tried to download the stock ROM multiple times but in every case it returns me this error.
I think that the ROM files aren't the problem.
Other advice? Thx you btw
Same here , my phone doesnt recognize sim aswell , but i didnt installed any custom rom i just had stock rom. It started with android 8 i tried a lot , but i cant make it work , if someone knows how to fix tell me.
And about the Binary on the device , you have to download a rom with a higher binary that you already have , since you have 7 you can only update to a 7 binary or higher , to know which is the binary on the rom ill Tell you how to realize the binary
The rom's file name is like this FXX5UIR7XVBR that seven in the last characters is the binary number of this rom. It was just an example.
Sorry about my english.
So if someone knows how to fix sim card problem it will help me so much , i tried to flash another stock rom , like 3 or 4 and nothing happened , imei is right its not corrupted or something.
Thx

Don't worry for the English I'm learning it too ahaha
Can you give me a more detailed explanation of that binary stuff that you were writing about? I didn't get how it fit with our problem, maybe I've just missed something ^^'
Also if you can find anything about our problem, please post it on this thread!
Thank you
