Before starting doing anything your phone must be s5830i/c/m/39i to flash this stock ROM. If your device is s5830 and you continue isntalling it i will not be responsible for any damage done to your phone!
This ROM was downlaoded from samobile.com
It was splitet by me using SplitFUS2
This guide can be used to unbrick your device and to FIX mount /data error (100% removing that problem)
Installation guide:
First isntall Samsung USB Drivers on your PC (Click!)
Then download Odin (Link in attachment)
Download this zip package Click!
Unzip the three files in the archive PDA,Modem and CSC
Run Odin..
Now take your phone and turn it off, hold volume up + volume down and power button until you see a screen that says Volume up:Continue... and that.. (If you only see a black screen you are in download mode just something is broken, i don't now what...
Now connect it with a compatible USB cable to your computer and press Volume up...
You should see on your computer a Yellow box saying COM:x,,,
Then just hit start on the Odin on your PC and the rest will be taken care by Odin
When it flashes you can root it by flashing Root.zip from attachment below (Not necesary, the warranty is being void by ROOTING)
DO NOT UNPLUG THE DEVICE WHILE FLASHING THE FIRMWARE FROM ODIN, THE DEVICE WILL BE DEAD YOU WILL ONLY HAVE A DEAD BODY OF A PHONE, THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT

Okay so i did something dumb and I'm wondering if there is a way out. I just got my second Note 5 because I dropped my first one and the screen went black. It was gonna be cheaper and easier to just buy a new device than actually repairing all the damage.
I installed TWRP through Odin. Stupidly, I did a complete wipe, including internal storage, and now I can't get the device to see the USB/OTG. I have a new cable on the way that's going to get here tomorrow. I can't think of what else it could be? Any ideas would be much appreciated. It doesn't have an OS so I'm thinking I may have wasted 250$.
It's not turbo charging either so could It be the charging port that's causing it to not be picking up the OTG?
Does Odin recognize it at least in download mode?
Have you tried mount on as usb in twrp?
press install>select storage then there will be two option
Internal storage and USB storage. Click on USB and the value will change from 0 to the amount of gb your otg have,then you can flash via otg

I tried to mount it in TWRP but the box is uncheckable. That is my problem. I go to install and under the select storage I cant select USB OTG and it says (0MB). I'm kinda perplexed. Thanks for the advice though!

Step 3 from the other guy's post above you. That's what I was gonna help you with because you wiped the internal storage. Odin will still recognize it but in Download mode and she won't work again unless you flash the stock firmware specifically for your phone from the link above.
Fixed
I reOdined and same problem so I went back and looked at the instructions. I saw that you had to have MM flashed onto the device so I tried that and it worked. I just figured updating the phone would give me enough but it didn't. Thanks for all the help guys!

Hi all,
Looking for some assistance... I jumped the gun after reading through a few of these forms and attempted to update the firmware on my Samsung Galaxy S2 Tab 9.7 SM-T817W official to Android 7 (T817WVLU3CQE4) I downloaded online. I was just looking for an official update to version 7 (ie no root or custom F/W) as nothing would happen over the air.
From some additional reading, I believe if I obtain the original firmware T817WVLU0AOF3 and flash it with Odin, it may bring the tablet back to life?
Does anyone has firmware T817WVLU0AOF3 ?
Device current status: boots to "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software." I can enter download mode using PWR + VOL DN + HOME.
Initial process I followed during attempted upgrade:
- downloaded "T817WVLU3CQE4_T817WOYA3CQE4_T817WVLU3CQE4_HOME.tar.md5" firmware that MD5 hashes to "6af7e575035d1877b877508e06b29317"
- downloaded and installed samsung USB driver SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_ver_1.5.65.0
- put tablet into download mode
- Connected to tablet with Odin3 v3.13.1 and flashed with options "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" checked only using firmware above in the AP box.
- process failed just after system.img file line in Odin and the table screen showed "Downloading..." with the progress bar at the beginning (one bar of progress)
- after resart, device boots to "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software."
Where I may have gone wrong:
- Did not enable USB debugging
- Did not OEM unlock bootloader
- Factory Reset Protection (FRP) was on (Google account on device and PIN for entry screen)
I'm not sure if all and specifically what of these options above need to be set for the upgrade to work in this case. Does anyone have specific insight here?
Troubleshooting attempted:
- tried different USB cable
- tried different USB port on computer
- tried different version of Odin (Odin3_v3.12.7, Odin3-v3.10.6)
- downloaded Samsung Smart Switch- attempted to run Emergency Recovery mode => device would not show up in list.
- downloaded Samsung Kies v 3 - attempted to update firmware via menu => no firmware found
- downloaded "T817WVLU2AOK3_T817WOYA2AOK3_T817WVLU2AOK3_HOME.tar.md5" 5.1.1 firmware that MD5 hashes to "7bc616642e6556b8e00a4f4a62ff3b68" => failed the same
- edited at custom .tar.md5 file that only contained recovery.img from above => with downloaded with PASS in Odin but still would not boot. Makes me think cable, USB and Odin version is OK and all issues are around wrong firmware and other processes.
Any help appreciated! Thanks!
