Putting FW, repair files, TWRP and CF on to an SDcard and trying to update from external storage didn't work either. When using Odin or Heimdall, both detect that the device is there, but flashing is unsuccessful. If anyone is curious, let me know and I will find out what they are.
I checked the drivers for it and they are now installed as something other that what they were a week ago. So, for what ever reason, now my tablet is only recognized when it's in Odin mode or the ADB sideload option from the recovery menu. Heres a few screenshots, probably not very helpful, but eh.cant hurt Sorry more the longish post and all the questions, I just want to make sure I understand the "why" behind it all. Meaning that I've pretty much been barking up the wrong tree this entire time? I also don't get why sometimes the FRP is ON and other times it OFF, without changing the cord or USB port between booting? Invalid Kernel length" error as a result of taking the battery out. Is it a possibility that I got that "Could not do normal boot. The old one worked fine just being plugged (hard wired?) into the PC or charger. On my old tablet sort of the same thing happened (the dead battery part) and I just took out the battery until I got a replacement. After that I couldn't get the battery charged enough without it trying to start and very quickly shutting down or doing the loop thing. I plugged it in and booted it strait to Odin mode, started the flash and that's when my dog disconnected the USB. My battery, I think, must have drained completely during this time, because it did shut down about 10 minutes before the download finished. While waiting for the dl to finish I had my tab plugged into the PC in Odin mode ready to go. When I first got the bootloop problem, I went to my PC to download the FW from (if I remember right) SamFrew. Now to make a complex situation even more extreme.here's the fun part. Thank you SO much! I've been hesitating to connect to my computer until I got as much info as possible. Can anyone help? I have screen shots and there are more details here, I really have no clue what I'm doing at this point. Two weeks ago I didn't know what Ubunto was. I've only been playing with custom Roms and the like for about 3 months. I've just started with Heimdall.īasically the end result it the same: No PIT partition, Complete Write Failed, or most recently on Heimdall I recived and Error -1 Failed to Send Data, "Odin" something, or other.
I've looked at Miracle Box Cracked and Samsung Tool Pro. I've tried with and without the PIT file, with every option checked and unchecked.
different USB cables, 2 different computers with different versions of Windows and every USB port between them. I've tried flashing many different firmwares (stock, custom and combo) with Odin v3.13.1, v3.12.5 and v3.12.7. Long story short I messed up flashing the Xposed framework got caught in a bootloop and then somehow pretty much erased everything except the Odin Download screen. Other forums have tried to help and the local mobile repair shops wont touch it. Over the last two weeks I've been struggling to fix my tablet.
