i rooted my device but some games wont play like need for speed and asphalt 7 so i installd and its the last thing i did on my device (chainfire3d) then my device reboot and keep reboot wont open help please wait for answer

Sounds like this is a very similar problem to something someone else posted in the last few days. Take a look through the last couple of days posts in this forum and see if you can see it. The general suggestion if i remember right was to use ODIN to fix.

Read before you install, chain fire 3d does not work with jellybean 4.1.
I think the description in the play store also said enough

Amazes me why people dont read ?
It clrearly says not for jelly bean
You need to find your desired stock rom and flash it via odin. Only solution

Why do you install things which aren't supported?
It's the first thing people should do when installing unconfirmed stuff.
Chainfire 3D isn't supported for JB.
What you need to do now is go into DOWNLOAD mode, and flash your stock ROM via Odin, if you want official.

thanks all its my mistake am new , and i said sorry for my note lmao , well now i need to search for good custom room

i download nandroid and platinum backup and i backup my apps&system wz data got .gz files i think on my sd-card and got nandroid backup on my sd-card (nandroid back up like 4 files) one of them .md5 and its 1kb others .tar 500mb and 700mb cach and system and est i think didnt remember they are on my sd-card is that help me by odin ? because i cant open my device any way my only solution by odin mode but is there any file in my back up files can help ? forget i tried to restore my device by nandroid.md5 and odin closed not response , dont say iam lucky new in android world understand nothing for now

You don't need to flash custom ROM, bro. If you want official rom, just go to sammobile.com, find the firmware of your country and flash it through odin. There, you have official stock ROM again.
Also your English is extremely hard to understand. Try to use commas and full-stops.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 LITE PIT file

Hey, my cousin bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 LITE and he messed it up by trying to flash a wrong rom on it.
Anyways, he called me after 2 days and i think he also messed up some partitions, because the DATA is unmountable.
I think i need a PIT file to repair the damage, but i cant find it anywhere.
can anyone share it with me or create one? i dont know what to do.
My thanks for your time!

Does the device still power on? If so have you tried doing a Emergency Firmware Recovery with KIES?
Failing that you may be able to extract the PIT file from the device with Heimdall Frontend using Ubuntu (or other Linux Distro), not entirely sure though as if it's been completely wiped/messed up that might not even be possible at this stage.
Even then if successful, there's a chance Odin will fail to accept it.
If you wish to try, using Heimdall Frontend select the utilities tab, put the tablet in Download Mode and click "Save As..." under the Download PIT section, give it a name and save it.
Sorry I can't help further, I don't have that model, maybe someone who has it on here can help get the PIT file from their device.
Good luck :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Boot Loop/Stock firmware/I seriously need help PLEASE!!!!

Hello all *waves*
This is my very first post although I have used this site countless times. I'm just going to jump right to it because I seriously need some help!
I am trying to fix my SGH-M919 (Tmobile S4) that just suddenly stopped working one day. I have tried EVERYTHING! Kies, custom roms, Odin but my phone still will not load past the Samsung logo. It will boot into recovery (TWRP) and Download mode. I know that using Kies is the quick fix but (LUCKY ME...not) my phone is one of the few phones tmobile/Samsung sent out with no S/N on the sticker under the battery. Since I cant get into my phone I cant get the S/N and I do not have the box anymore.
I have tried using the many sgh-m919 Stock Rom files online, including this site, but nothing is working. When I spend hours downloading them and begin to use them in odin, Odin doesn't load the file for me to flash.
I know I am using Odin correctly because I have done it successfully countless times in the past. I have also tried EVERY download file out there, but I can't find a good one that I can flash in Odin. I have also tried all of the guides on this site several times so please don't redirect me to them, because I have seriously and correctly tried them all. If you have any suggestion please let me know. I can't afford the 161.00 Samsung is requiring or the 175 warranty fee tmobile is charging. PLEASE HELP.
And if some has a good copy of the Stock Rom for SGH-M919 that they would be willing to email me I would FOREVER be greatful!
also my sdcard and battery are not the issue.... tried that too
Thanks,
Nikki

Were there any symptoms or anything you may have done out of the ordinary that might or might not have caused the problem? By saying that odin will not load files, is there an error message or what exactly do you mean by that? And what version odin are you using?

I don't know if its something I have done wrong or not. I followed all of the instructions to the letter. I think (but am not sure) that I don't have a usable copy of the Stock Firmware.
I am using v3.10 but I have tried them all.
When I click on AP in Odin, then click on the file I am sent back to Odin, but the file (and filename) doesn't appear in the AP box like normal.

The stock firmware files take a while for odin to validate md5 check I think. Select your firmware file in Odin's selector, then wait a few mins for bit to process before giving up. This time lag surprised me first time I flashed stock firmware. Big file means longer wait!

The longest I have waited has been an hour, do you think that I should still wait longer?

Try different version of odin. Even if the file was bad, it would say something

Try a different pc.

try to download the firmware from http://samfirm.net/threads/official-rom-full-galaxy-note-7-sm-n930f-n930fxxu1apg7-xxv-23-07-2016.98/ and try to flash via odin.
Never ever try to flash anything till the time there is no evidence of success.

I tried that, but the problem is that I always get this error in Odin when trying to flash...

Did you check OEM unlock before you flash as per the instructions? not doing so will result in a boot loop.

Try different cable and USB port. I had trouble with both that had me running in circles.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

Yes, I did OEM unlock before the flash.
Different cable and USB port makes no difference...

Usually when I have issues I try to uninstall all drivers related to phones and only install the one I need. Then after a restart and forcing the phone into Odin I'm able to flash without issues.

It might be failing because of a Partition size error. Have you tried the Samfirm Tool to download a firmware from your region?
Have you tried Emergency Device Recovery from SmartSwitch PC ?
Also, I'm doubtful whether this is a new trick up from Samsung's sleeve. This Phone is still new, so it's quite a learning process. Maybe Samsung has implemented something to block these unofficial flash attempts. However I thank you taking the risk and trying the recovery first.

Can you help me, where I can get this?

Download and install SmartSwitch for PC. Then follow this Video.

I really have no luck here...
Any idea?
Googled already, but did not really find anything besides reinstalling...

I dont think theres a fix for this issue yet. There's also no subtantiated literature in the larger cummunity pertaining to rooting the Note 7.
I am guessing this is an additional precaution taken by Samsung therefore the rooting process needs a very specific set of steps in order to circumnavigate the systems Sammy has put in place. The thread itself says WIP, so I applaud you for your courage.
Nonetheless my suggestion is to instead of waiting for an answer which no one can provide, go to Sammy and bull**** to them that u plugged in the computer and it became a brick.
Theres is no possible senario whereby the internet can help you because we know next to nothing about Note 7.
I sincerely hope that you can come out of the situation with a working Note 7 in your hands whilst not burning a hole in your wallet due to the repairs. God-speed my friend, God-speed.

This seems to be an issue in your drivers, Please uninstall all samsung related and flash box related (if exists) in your PC and try installing it again.
Alternatively, you can just walk into a Samsung Care store and get it done while you wait.

I did that already... No luck. I will try on a different pm next.

Bill sad to see this happened to you
I am exactly coming for the same forum and was following the same steps thought u were, but u took one more step forward and flashed the vitanamese firmware, your phone just messed up there. Was actually about to do the same thing but then read your comments. My phone starts but with errors and has battery drainage , i havent lost anything as it is still virgin and havent transfered anything to it yet. Will wait probably 4 to 5 days more for the official firmwares to release and fire it in.
Sorry to say but u had become the test subject...

I just was in the Samsung Care Center in Singapore with my bricked phone.
After 1 hour waiting time, a Samsung guy explained me, that they cannot do anything about it, because they don't have parts ? for this phone in Singapore because it was not launched yet and also there is no international warranty on it.
He had no idea about any software recovery or anything and suggested to get back to Dubai, where I got the phone from.
Really a bad Customerservice experience.
I also want to thank all of you for your great help and suggestions!
I think I will send the phone back to the store in Dubai now.

Well tht will be a good choice
But if u give it three more days and wait for the official firmwares to release would save you some time.
I am still following up with it.

I really doubt, that this will help, since I cannot flash anything in odin. After initialization I always get the error "FAIL (DeviceInfo)"

Same here in (Dubai) Mate, They don't even have the parts, or Tools to open the device up. If you remember me, I screwed up my Note 7 a week back, Just after two days from launch, and I still didn't receive it. They are still unable to sort it out.
I'm sure when a proper firmware for XSG (Dubai - Same as your device) and a proper ODIN is released to flash the Note 7, this will be a piece of a cake. Just hope for the best, As just like you - I too took a leap of faith and did something stupid.
Anyway, Wishing you luck !

I am not sure if this will help....
What happens when you try a older version of Odin?
Its worked for me in the past, with my s6 edge.

Bricked Galaxy A3 2017

Hello everyone, I decided to root my phone today. First I enabled OEM unlock and then installed TWRP, no problems with that. Then I tried to install CF autoroot through recovery and everything seemed fine. When I tried to boot up my phone it said something like integrity check failed and I had to do a factory reset to be able to even start the phone. I did not do that but tried to install official samsung oreo firmware through odin but it won't install, just fails. Then i got other error message saying "an error occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software". The only thing I can do now is enter download mode and nothing else but odin does not let me flash anything. I'm desperate here so any suggestion would be great. Model is SM A-320FL btw. Sorry for my english and lengthy post

What kind of error do you get in Odin?
Is it the one that says something like "SW Rev. check fail"?
If so than for me it worked to flash the bootloader and modem of Oreo and the after that i reinstalled the OS without any problems.

First it was just a red fail for BL, CSC and those other things and later it just won't even start. When I try to install TWRP it goes to half and stays there. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Was your device from a carrier, if so, try to flash the firmware that your device came with. If you can't solve this, PM me, so that we can try to resolve this on Telegram, Discord etc. :highfive:

Thank you for the reply, I don't think it was from carrier, when I tried to flash firmware I downloaded latest firmware from my current carrier so I think that shouldn't be a problem. I'll contact you tomorrow because i'm just too tired now. And update, I can flash TWRP now if that is of any help.

It is solved now, thanks everyone for your help

Hi. Glad to see you got this sorted, but it may be useful for other users to see what you did to resolve this.

Yes, how did you solved that.
Looking at two A320F I found one difference:
One has AP SWREV B:2 K:0 S:0
the other one (that makes trouble): AP SWREV B:3 K:1 S:1
What exactly does it mean.
Flashing with Odin gave me erros (on device, Odin just say "failed") depending on flashing BL (SW Rev Check failed )Bootlader Device: 3, binary: 2 , while flashing AP gives Kernel Rev check fail.
So, how to go on? I was able to flash TWRP, but not Stock (neither an old 6.0 nor 8.0).

Ok, solved it. Flashing stock will probably only work to same or newer versions, not for downgrade (at least not without any special tricks that I don't know).
After downloading the latest stock FW , odin passed.
Now I still have the problem, that I can't transfer data partion from one A3 to another one.

My first error was that I downloaded wrong firmware for my phone and because of that odin gave me errors. Second error was that I tried to wipe data through advanced wipe, but I needed to format it by pressing format data button. After doing that I was able to flash official stock ROM, install TWRP and root my phone. User MartinYTCZ helped me greatly with this, big thanks to him again. :victory:

Can't you backup your internal storage on PC or SD card, contacts, messages, phone calls, settings on samsung account and apps and data with titanium backup? When I flashed stock ROM I lost all data from my phone so be careful with that.
