Flash download mode - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

For some reasons it fails? firmware is right, usb is in right i think....never had this issue before?...Does Oreo let you go back??... 4hrs and getting frustrated must be something simple, developer options is on usb debugging.

One of my friends bought a new HD7 with SPL 5
This method didn't work with him
I don't know does this method need Official Chevron before applying it?
I installed WPE, run it and did all follow the instruction, but nothing happened...

what happened to him? bricked? or UpdateWP refuses to update? i think it should work, because we're only targeting 4.5 cab when downgrading to nodo & re-upgrading to mango, so, if we can have the cab, why should we revert to nodo? just waste of time
no, this method doesn't need chevron unlock, because, it's all official cab

do you extract all the things in the package? becuase, sometimes, "nothing happen" issue happened if you missed \Package folder or, check your device usb connection.

ok, there you go, you can use new wpe special attached on first post, that should fix your problem, or, you can apply it manually if you got sick & tired with this kind of error
Code:
<Your path to updatewp>\UpdateWP.exe /iu <your cab> /enablebackup

I've got an hd7 7740 with the HTC update and trying this method didn't wok for me. Said it couldn't update with the cab. It might work with 7720 before the HTC update. Oh and my phone is developer unlocked.
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
what is the difference between wpe and the 2 hotfix?what is the hotfix for?
Thread starter updated his tools, s does it work now ?

T-705 Missing developer menu

So i have gone into the about section and tapped the build number many times, had the message saying im a developer etc
There is no menu, or at least i cant see one, I assume it should appear in the general tab under the heading system?
If i press build number again it just tells me No need, developer mode has been enabled.
I have rebooted the tablet
Any suggestions?
Android version 4.4.2
Baseband T705XXU1ANF7
kERNAL 3.4.39-2293707
Build number KOT49H.T705XXU1ANG2
Anyone?

UK, it's a 4G+wifi model. Got me pickled to, did a factory reset and nothing.

Sorry if you feel that way, my process has always been to enable usb debugging before attempting to root anything.

Hey mate. It worked without usb debugging.

Thanks for quick response, Where did you find a guide to root. Cheers..
Just put root and Odin into a search term. Something should come up.
USB debugging is only needed in the operating system. It has zero effect and not needed in recovery or Odin mode.

Sorry my english level, thanks for your help!

You will find part 1 and part 2 of the ota update in the following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3071846
You can download them to your SD card and reboot to recovery and apply them..
I've got a straight talk sim card, so I know how you feel. Just keep checking Kies.

I found it! thanks! i just have to do that? doesnt need root? any risk?
There isn't root for the retail version and you don't need root to flash it..
Just clear cache between flashing part 1 and 2 and you should be fine
Finally! i got it! thanks you very much to all! specially to @PapaDocta ! its works perfectly!

If you were not on full stock rom without root, or anything custom, and you turned off OEM unlocking and USB debugging, then locked the bootloader, you are basically hosed my friend
Look at this point it just needs to be said... PEOPLE STOP RE-LOCKING THE DARN BOOTLOADER!!
PERIOD!!
There are literally a half dozen posts this week with probably bricked phones and a good amount of them are this same root cause.

Your preaching to the choir ol friend! While I agree with you 100%, some things are best learned the hard, and expensive way! I've done it twice myself.
The carpenters rule should apply to these phones as well...."measure twice, cut once" :good:
I remember and I'm sure that i left USB debugging enabled, and the bootloader locked, so is there any hope ?

My friend.....you could give me or anybody else 10 thousand bucks, and it's still not going to solve your problem I'm sorry to say. You should have unrooted the phone first, then fastbooted the factory image, or do a factory reset, and made sure that OEM unlocking & USB debugging were left on until you were done locking the bootloader. Sorry man, but there's not much you can do without at least a stock recovery, so....accept the loss, learn from your mistake, and move on. Many of us here, including myself, have been there as well. What you choose to learn from it is up to you
