It's for N7100,not for N7105,Can use?

I already tried that before, or did i used it wrongly?
Just to verifiy, what are the actual steps to flashing a PIT to re-partition.
oh and by the way forgot to add this in the main post.

sad Christmas i have

metoo
i have a GT7100, and just flash 4 file: pit, pda, csc, modem, i fix storage error but emei is not

I'm not sure if it's possible to get the imei back without an efs backup, even if you do fix everything else. Odia had a way to do it back on the sgs2 but I'm not sure if the same thing will work for the note 2 or not, your best bet is to try to get your carrier or Samsung to replace it.

I previously had my Baseband and IMEI gone before, forgot what i did and got it back. If i were to replace it i need to unroot and reset flash counter, is there anyway to reset flash counter instead of triangle away? As you can see mine is not working.

flash philz touch cwm and try partitioning with it.

There's no leak rom for n7105. Pit file usually can be found in it.
I remember my friend note2 had problem. .no matter what he did oso cant solve.
In the end he hit "factory reset " (not cwm) and he solved issue.

Where can i get it? And what are the actual steps to go about doing the partitioning.
EDIT: Now that i think about it, What is busybox for? I think the 0 bytes problem came after i flashed some ROM with busybox included.

[S3] device wont boot into recovery while flashing cf-autoroot via odin

hi there, i have a problem while trying too root my s3 using ct-autoroot.
after connecting and flashing it via odin everything goes smooth and fine but when it restarts my phone it won't boot into recovery it would only flash black screen with a blue font in the top saying "recovery booting..." then shut it self down. I watched some other video on youtube which their phone successfully boot into recovery->blackscreen->samsung->logo->recovery thats installing the new file from autoroot, but mine just doesnt work even if i clear the cache and tried to redo the steps, still gets "recovery booting" ->black screen->phone shutsdown
it was also stated on the chainfire autoroot website that
"For the root to work, the device must reboot into recovery. Most devices will do this automatically after flashing these files, but in case that does not happen, please boot into recovery manually."
i have Samsung s3 (sgh-i747m)
carrier: bell
Android version: 4.1.2
P.s
I also tried installing root checker and tried to check my system but it says : "Sorry root access is not properly installed on this device"

Do you have any warranty left on your phone? Is your phone sim unlocked?
Since you're on 4.1.2, you can unlock your phone using the free method.

nope, problem is still happening what i mean is its already sim unlocked before i tried to root. it still shuts down completely when trying to boot into recovery mode when flashing cf-autoroot for sgh-i747m

The easiest way to solve the problem would be to flash back to stock ROM, flash Philz d2lte recovery, and flash supersu from recovery.

one question sir audit. will it be safe to flash a stock rom? i mean what if it fails to boot into recovery again. will it bricked my phone if that happens?

You can flash a stock rom from sammobile.com as long as you don't downgrade the bootloader.

hi , i successfully flashed 4.3 stock rom (because i cant find a 4.1.2 stock rom) what i noticed is the app called knox. i heard that it sometimes block you from rooting your phone. but when i clicked on it ,it ask me if i want to install it which is approximately 119mb of data but i havent clicked on it yet. I also check if its in my device security administration but it is not currently checked. Is it still safe to root my s3?

If you update to the latest kk, the easiest way to root would be to flash a custom recovery and flash supersu via recovery.

HI there, same problem I am facing as well. How to flash the stock ROM and recovery if the screen is not working? ODIN is not recognizing the device. No SD card as well.
My Galaxy S3 is SIM locked and with Bell .. Android 4.4.2 How to go back to normal mode again ? Thx.
Removed battery for a min, changed the USB port on the computer and attempted the process for about 5 times- then Volume down + Power + centre home button- started ODIN- recovery image was there as well.- flashed- Back to normal.. Sigh !

If you can't see the screen, the easiest way to get to download mode would be to use a USB jig. I purchased a jig soon after getting my Samsung Captivate. It has been used by me and several frieds to get ourselves out of a jam.

Flash to stock with Odin issue/question

Hi all. My daughter has been using my s3. I wanted to restore back to stock with Odin so i can update the phone for her. I've don't it so many times in the past without issue. Tonight I tries a few times. All goes well with Odin. No issues no errors. Yet when it finishes it boots right back up and nothing was actually done. Phone is same as it was. The phone was actually not restored to stock. What am I missing?

Is the phone an i747 or i747m? What bootloader is on the phone?

i747. Ucdlk3.
When I go software update it doesn't do anything. It's rooted with custom recovery. So wanted to just go stock and then update.

You're flashing the phone using the stock firmware from sammobile? What version of desktop Odin are you using?

audit13 said:

Odin is 3.06
Using the same file I've always used. Root_art_i747ucdlk3.tar.md5
Its just strange as odin looks good and it passes at the end. Think its worth into try re-downloading the firmware? These files and the version of odin are what I've always used. And its the USB cable that came with the phone. Computer recognizes the phone too.

Post a screenshot of the Odin progress. Are you unchecking everything except F.reset time and auto reboot?

Correct. Those are the only two options that are checked. I'll try again and try and get pics. I know the first 2 times after odin was done it said "reset". The next two times it said "pass"

Try re-flashing using rom from sammobile.com. You need a completely stock rom in order to install ota updates.

Try Odin 3.07. Weird that I see i9505 on the Odin screen.
Boot into download mode and let us know what is says on the screen.

Thanks. Download mode says model is sgh-i747.

That's good. As I said, try Odin 3.07 which is what I always use. When flashing, this is what I do:
Launch Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time, flash. When I see the word reset in the status window, remove, the usb cable, remove battery, replace battery, boot into recovery, do a factory reset/wipe, boot phone.

Before flashing anything from sammobile, make sure you are now running a 4.3 or newer bootloader. Flashing a ROM from sammobile with a 4.3 or newer bootloader might bright your phone.

If you want an easy way just install Root Checker by Free Android Tools. It's free will give you all the info you need.
I won't be able to try out again until this weekend. But this is just driving me crazy. I have a folder with Odin and my stock file that I have had and used forever. Never had an issue. Just did this a few months ago when I did this to get the phone ready before I have it to her. No idea what's going on.

once im trying to flash with 4 files with PIT or without, (or flash just bootloader) i get something like that
if flashing one file rom is like that
also forogot to mention as i cant charge the phone (once conect the charger it showing a battery with circle on middle and stuck like that). when trying to turn it on it stuck on Samsung galaxy note 2 GT-N7100

In the second screen, Odin is stopping at the sboot.bin file.
Are you sure you have the correct firmware?

N7100xxufne1 is the same which is on board at the moment (looks like)

Does the model number on the battery label match the model number in download mode?

I bet the device has a newer bootloader than the firmware you are using. Possibley a foreign firmware or update that was released by a carrier.

You have to flash latest firmware with pit file for repartition. The separated files firmware you are trying to flash with pit file is older than the existed, it is xxufnd4 and your bootloader is xxufne1. Sammy don't let old bootloader to flash over new. Also try odin v3 1.87, it flashes safely fw when newer odin fails.

Upgrade/downgrade s10+ to Q to Pie or Pie to Q WITHOUT losing data both rooted unroot

Hi guys.
GUIDE FOR INTERNATIONAL S10, S10+, S10e with unlocked boot loader!
I been seeing some post/questions that is it possible to downgrade from android 10 to android 9 and vice versa WITHOUT losing data or apps. There were quite some posts so instead of answering each n every post i see i thought to post a simple guide and confirmation.
Answer to question.....
The answer is YES can upgrade and downgrade WITHOUT losing data or apps everything works perfectly like never touched at all.
Guide...
Confirmed tested by me several time believe me more than 7 times i upgraded and downgraded.
The guide to do so is simple every time use HOME_CSC either to upgrade or after upgrading to downgrade you won't lose anything never use CSC i recommend to delete it just to be sure. You must every time use HOME_CSC.
Guess what one more very interesting thing.
If you are rooted(magisk) if you flash pure stock firmware and recovery too you wont lose data if use HOME_CSC and if after flashing stock use patched ap or patched twrp(recovery) it will get rooted again without losing data if used HOME_CSC.
Last thing.
If get stuck on samsung logo during boot with magisk then just go to recovery and use file manager browse to /data/adb/ delete magisk module riru edxposed if installed other wise it will boot fine if not installed.
I will help further if needed.
Regards.

If you have AT&T firmware (like I do) then the home csc file is very hard to get your hands on.

For US carrier you can follow this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/g975u-g975u1-firmware-links-t3905897
This is is providing whole firmware with HOME_CSC. You can get/request firmware from him.

How can I do that? I upgraded to 10 but literally I hate it. I wanna downgrade to 9. I have no idea what you talking about home csc...

To flash firmware either to downgrade or upgrade you must download firmware for your phone and odin windows pc software.
When you download samsung firmware according to you phone model. It is a zip file that zip file when extracted have 5 files in it. You then open odin select files according to odin slot mentions i.e. for ap select ap for bl select file bl for cp select cp for CSC select HOME_CSC all files are extract from downloaded firmware. Put phone into download mode and connect and start flash.
Below is an example of extracted files from firmware archive.

Hi guys.
I been seeing some post/questions that is it possible to downgrade from android 10 to android 9 and vice versa WITHOUT losing data or apps. There were quite some posts so instead of answering each n every post i see i thought to post a simple guide and confirmation.
Answer to question.....
The answer is YES can upgrade and downgrade WITHOUT losing data or apps everything works perfectly like never touched at all.
Guide...
Confirmed tested by me several time believe me more than 7 times i upgraded and downgraded.
The guide to do so is simple every time use HOME_CSC either to upgrade or after upgrading to downgrade you won't lose anything never use CSC i recommend to delete it just to be sure. You must every time use HOME_CSC.
Guess what one more very interesting thing.
If you are rooted(magisk) if you flash pure stock firmware and recovery too you wont lose data if use HOME_CSC and if after flashing stock use patched ap or patched twrp(recovery) it will get rooted again without losing data if used HOME_CSC.
Last thing.
If get stuck on samsung logo during boot with magisk then just go to recovery and use file manager browse to /data/adb/ delete magisk module riru edxposed if installed other wise it will boot fine if not installed.
I will help further if needed.
Regards.

Quick question. Does one have to eliminate the .md5 extension in the filename before patching? I had to do this to patch the AP file for rooting. It worked for me but I just want to make sure it will not be a problem if I do the same for the other files if I have to install TWRP. Thank you.

It wont be a problem if downloaded from trusted source and properly.
Md5 are needed by odin but if md5 extension is removed it is also fine.

If i wanted to upgrade from android 9 to android 10 on a rooted(magisk) s10 would i first need to relock my bootloader?

No.
You just have to use patched firmware and have patched recovery in it.
Or
Download latest firmware and your favourite recovery patch them edit firmware and put patched recovery in it.
Now use odin.
Hope you know process in detail about patching and odining.

Ok thank you for your reply.
Sorry if this sounds like a silly question but what do you mean when you say patched recovery, I have patched my AP fie with Magisk thats all. i'm currently not using TWRP if thats what you mean.
Thanks

I don't recommend downgrade if you upgrade bootloader to Android 10. Downgrading bootloader to previous version is not possible.
I tested downgrade from stock Android 10 to Pie and it doesn't work.

Q15) Can I downgrade to an older build?
Answer: It depends on your current build. Sometimes you can downgrade, sometimes you can not. Read detailed answer to check.
Detailed answer:
You have to see the bootloader version of your current build. Samsung tends to upgrade bootloader versions regularly so downgrading is not always possible.
For example if your current build is G975FXXU3ASG8, and you want to downgrade to G975FXXU2ASF3, it will not be possible.
Moving from 'XXU3' to 'XXU2' is not possible since XXU2 is an older bootloader version, and because of Samsung's downgrade protection, it will not allow the older version to be flashed.
When attempting to flash, Odin will show 'FAIL' in the flash window, and the bootloader screen on your device will display this error:
SW REV CHECK FAIL(BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 2
This is showing that the device is currently on a v3 build, and the build being flashed is v2, so it will reject the file and abort the flash immediately.
If however you want to downgrade from G975FXXU3ASG8 to G975FXXU3ASG2, you are free to do so, since both builds are labeled 'XXU3' and are on the same bootloader version (i.e: v3).
Note: Some builds will be labeled 'XXS', and the same reasoning applies to those builds as well. If the bootloader version is different, you can not downgrade.

Actually without twrp you wont have access to system partition. Anyway try this... connect your fone with pc and use adb to uninstall the command is
adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
