Problems with marshmallow update. Emergency recovery - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all. I'm having some trouble getting my note 5 to work again. I downloaded the new Marshmallow update today from sammobile and proceeded to flash it with odin. After 10 seconds I got the fail red box in odin, disconnected my phone and got this error: '' an error has occured while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software''.
So I went ahead and read in a couple of forums and saw that people got their phones working back using Kies. I did that. Entered my model number (sm-n920g) and entered the serial number. Kies then started to download the firmware and the recovery failed. I have no idea what to do really. Should I try using the Smart Switch program instead? Flashing a lollipop one via odin? Or what? I've never had any trouble before flashing stock roms or customs on any of my other phones, so I'm getting a bit frustrated after Kies didn't work. Any recommendations would be gladly appreciated!

I would personally go back and flash the stock lollipop firmware and double check that the marshmallow update you are using is not corrupted. Also, make sure to use twrp 3.0.1 as a recovery. I was having boot loops at first until I discovered the correct recovery file.

Thanks for your fast response. I will try and flash the lollipop one via Odin. Hope it works.

Well the lollipop stock rom failed too. I'm getting an error in the download mode that says SW REV CHECK FAIL. Don't know what it means or how to fix it, but I'm currently not able to flash anything. What can I do??

Please make sure the download is not corrupted or ensure you are using the correct firmware file.

[KERNEL] Permissive Lollipop 5.1.1 kernel for T710/T810

This is a permissive kernel with rooting restrictions removed.
Due to the new security policies in 5.1.1 you will need this kernel to root your device.
This will trip the knox flag thereby potentially voiding your warranty.
I hold no responsibility in any case if you decide to flash this product.

Officially its not available yet, but im trying to modify the t810 kernel for the t815 for when they release the 5.1.1 rom
I had a bit of a challenge to get this installed on my SM-T710. I couldn't get Odin to install the kernel using either boot or AP. I did get this working by installing your TWRP build, extracting the IMG file and having TWRP install the IMG file.

What was the issue?
Odin froze/did not complete on the flash. No fail message or even window greying. I tried 3.10.6 and 1.85. After about 10 tries, I decided to use twrp to flash the image and it worked fine.

Same issue for me. Couldn't get it to flash with Odin so flashed the image file via twrp and all is good.

Tried 3.10.7 and several older versions with no luck. Was able to root by flashing the image file in twrp and then flashing the autoroot tar file in Odin so I'm good to go.
The tar package must have got corrupted in the upload or something.
Will re-upload.

if you already on 5.1.1 ...I believed you have to root first before you can install the TWRP...
I was not sure how did they flashed TWRP without got the Tab rooted first...
more specific instruction ... would be nice...
Thanks

from what i understood they were flashing twrp in odin... from the instructions I read it appeared you could update to 5.1.1 and then begin the process...
Do I need to flash back to 5.0.2 and if so which one? I've got a US 710 wifi.

I just got the root working...
no need to go back for 5.0.2
from 5.1.1 stock..
1-flash TWRP
2-copy t710_5.1.1_boot.img (pulled out from the corrupted TAR) place it in your Tab
3-go to TWRP
4-select install from Image
5-flash t710_5.1.1_boot.img
6-go back download mode, and flash the CF_auto root
7-go back download mode again, and flash the TWRP again
8-go back and verified got Rooted and Custom TWRP
Thanks

The stock recovery gets reflashed by the OS when you reboot. To prevent this from happening you have to reboot immediately into recovery after flashing. TWRP will then patch it to prevent this from happening.
If you disable 'Auto reboot' you can reboot after flashing by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN then immediately switch to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons when the tablet restarts.

The combination T810XXU1BOH7_T810XAR1BOH7_XAR & t810_5.1.1_boot & t810_cf-autoroot_5.1.1 works on my TM810!

Flash latest stock firmware in odin .
Once odin shows PASS go to stock recovery and do factory reset and wait 15 minutes to boot.
Do you have N910T tmobile note 4 ?
Link below for n910t latest firmware.
Extract the file and flash using odin choose AP

samsung galaxy 3 mini fails to write firmware on sm-g730v

Hello everyone,
I tried installing my devices firmware from the samobile site, after having it boot loop. I got it into download mode, connected it to my pc running odin, and tried flashing the firmware. It got as far as loading the recovery, then tried the rest but failed in the end, saying flash write failed or something like that. Would a custom firmware work better? It seems there are tools for other versions of the s3 mini, but not mine, so I'm not sure of the next step.
Thanks in advance,
Nick
You could try using kies to flash the firmware and there is safestrap(twrp) available for the g730v. If kies doesn't work make sure you are following the steps to flash the odin firmware correctly.

I believe I followed the directions correctly for odin, and the kies software should have worked since my phone had an error message that it couldn't see the phone. I tried installing twrp, didn't take. I tried finding the correct safestrap file, but the only one close was for the s3 and the person said it was too big for their screen.
I appreciate your help, and any more would be much appreciated.

Maybe you downloaded some bad firmware, where did you get your odin package from?
I would recommend downloading this for odin.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634742565
also here is a link to safestrap for when you unbrick your phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../recovery-locked-verizon-s3-mini-ne2-t3361624
So the different firmware didn't work. I went so far as to uninstall kies software, used odin 3.07, 3.09, and the latest one with my the same issue. I even used a different cord. I guess the next step is to hook up my phone to my computer using ADB and see if it's stuck in write only mode.

Wiped EVERYTHING (I MEAN EVERYTHING)

My cousin thought it would be a good idea to wipe his phone via TWRP. However in doing so he wiped the entire phone ROM and all. I downloaded the latest stock rom, tried to flash via Oden and was unsuccessful. The only information I was getting is FAILED. I'm not sure if I need to download and install drivers on the phone first or if it's just bricked for good. Any help would be grateful. I'm familiar with Oden and rooting, however I've never come across something like this.
Thank you.

Question #1
If he has TWRP installed, does he have a backup you can restore? If not...
Why not flash a custom Rom from the Android Development forums for this specific device?
But back to your Odin error...
When you connect the device to your PC while Odin is open and your device is in "Download" mode, does Odin show the words "Added in the dialog window?
If Odin shows "Added then the drivers are installed into the PC and your PC and Odin are recognizing the device.
Make sure you click on "options" in Odin and un-select "Auto-Reboot".
What does Odin say at the bottom of the dialog window after you hit the Start button and the installation fails?

He has no backup saved to restore. I'm not sure why I've not tried a custom rom, I'll see if that does the trick. When I connect the phone to the computer it does say Added in the dialog box and I have Auto Reboot un-selected.

If Odin has failed with all things looking normal, are you sure you have the exact, matching stock firmware for the device?
Odin can do funky things sometimes. Also, what version of Odin are you using? I would suggest downloading a new version of Odin and verify you have downloaded the correct firmware for the device with the correct region.
Which device are we talking about again? It's a T-Mobile Galaxy S6, correct?

Seems the first stock rom I downloaded even though it matched MD5 was faulty. I downloaded the stock rom again from a different source and was able to install everything perfectly. Thanks for the help everyone. Now I'm off to find a way to unlock.

Normally repartition is not checked by default in odin. Further which version are you trying to flashing? Which one you have? Give some more details to seek help from xda family.

Download latest firmware thru samfirm with check marks on binary or something like that which will reset your phone on favtory condition and rebuild all partitions. Be aware with this method your phone will be restored just like new one and data and other will be gone.
