cant flash anything using odin - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

the galaxy tab 8.9 is quite aged so i thought that i could pump some newer juice in it. bad luck, it got bricked. stuck at the samsung logo, bootlooping over n over
it started when i tried to install twrp, my current recovery is cwm. currently, i can only boot into download mode. so, i tried flashing back cwm, twrp and even stock recovery but all of it failed. i also tried flashing another stock rom but it also failed. odin didnt even tried, it stucked at "SetupConnection"
can anyone hand out a helping hand?

I have a similar problem. I am waiting for tablet to die (battery dead) then plug into wall charger and it should bring up download mode.
Do you have the LTE model?

Going to necro this because I've had the same problem as the OP (but not 2nd message).
I had CWM 5, tried to flash TWRP (so I could get Nougat), ended up with no recovery bootable. Can anyone help me get back with a recovery?
Tried to flash TWRP 3 but stuck at "failed". The tab was stuck in like 2% status, and wouldn't respond to Odin commands to flash again, so I had to reboot it.
Then there was no recovery I could boot into (icon would just flash when I tried to enter recovery from bootloader menu).
If I don't try to boot into bootloader menu, it sometimes would show the message "Software update failed", but would still accept Odin flashing.
I tried flashing via odin TWRP 2.6, 2.7, 3.0, CWM 5.5, Stock recovery and all did not work. TWRP <=2.7 and CWM would flash OK but still could not enter it, icon would just flash the icon but not change screen.
It doesn't display "Software update failed" screen anymore, but when I try to boot it normally with power button, it will always go into bootloader mode. If I restart with power + vol -, it would go into bootloader menu for you to choose between recovery and bootloader mode.
What should I do next to get a recovery back?
I haven't tried from Odin flashing a full stock image since I can't find a working download link anymore since hotfiles and devhost are down. Does anyone have a .tar or .tar.md5 for Odin flashing they could link me?

Never mind. I managed to find a stock image flashable by odin, flashed that and recovered stock recovery (and a stock ROM). I used the stock recovery to flash TWRP and then used TWRP to flash a new ROM, and all seems to be well now!

It is not possible with Stock recovery to flash the TWRP Recovery.
I think your Stock image has an CWM Recovery ( its a modified Stock Recovery ) and it is possible to flash TWRP.

Hi, that's great news! Would you be able to share where you got the ROM from and what version of Odin you used (and where you got it) please?
I am stuck on the boot screen with my GT-P7300. The stock images I have found so far don't flash through Odin and also fail in the recovery.
Many thanks in advance

Stuck in boot screen with no recovery

I had a russian stock 4.1.3 firmware on my i9070 with standard samsung recovery and it was kinda buggy(Google Play wouldn't work) and I decided to flash TWRP (yes, I now realize it couldn't have worked since it is for gingerbread) and I got stuck in boot screen with no recovery. The only solution I could think of is to flash stock JB again, so I downloaded stock Romania(Cosmote) Firmware and tried to flash it with both Odin v1.87(with and without pit file) and v3.07 and Odin gave me a PASS each time, but I am still stuck in boot screen with no recovery.
Clearly I am doing something wrong, and it probably is something I should have read somewhere, but there are so many details that I don't know where to start looking...
Later Edit:
It finally booted! Sorry for the new thread.
I don't know why it wasn't working with the Romanian firmware but I used the Greece one and it works fine.
Hi, my friend is facing same problem. Its showing PASS always.
But, its not booting to custom recovery.
It goes to samsung recovey and says "Downloading"
How you got it cleared? Do u need to wait at that previous screen?

If you are flashing custom recovery, but you still have stock Samsung recovery, you are clearly doing something wrong.
When I flashed custom recovery, I had JellyBean Android installed and the recovery was made to work with Gingerbread, so it wouldn't boot recovery at all.
Since you are still getting the standard Samsung recovery, you haven't flashed the custom recovery correctly.
I suggest you retrace your steps and find some tutorial that could help you with your problem HERE.
When I couldn't access recovery, I just flashed stock JellyBean again with Odin.

[Q] Help needed please. Stuck on boot screen.

Hi guys. I was hoping that maybe some of you genius's maybe be able to help me out? I will try and explain my problem as clearly as possible.
I have an I9305 and an from the UK. I have rooted my phone before and used many custom roms. But quite recently I decide to unroot my phone and go back to a normal stock rom. Last week I got the urge
to root again and install some custom roms. I quickly discovered that since I had OTA my phone that the latest OS has problems (knox) with rooting. I did manage to root my phone. However, the problem started when I tried to install
twrp through Goomanager. I tried to reboot into recovery mode and my phone was stuck on the Galaxy S III splash start screen, and I could not get into recovery mode either. I could still get into download mode. Eventually I did manage
to restore my phone using odin, and install a stock rom for Ireland. After this I tried to install a stock from for the UK, and now my phone is now back to being stuck on the splash screen, and I can not enter recover mode on my phone
using the up/home/power combo, but I can still acces download mode and conect to odin. I have been searching on line for several days for some solutions and fixes, but I seem to be getting no where. So please, if you can help my out and hopefully get my phone back to life I would
be extremely grateful.
If you can boot to download mode, then have you tried to flash a custom recovery with odin? If its twrp you want then flash the twrp tar for i9305 which you can get off the team win website and then see if you can access recovery. If you can, then you should be able to flash a samsung 4.3 rom or cm rom from external sd if you don't have one on your internal or even restore a backup if you have one.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have tried to flash cwm and twrp using odin. They seem to flash fine, but I can not enter recover mode at all. I have also tried to flash some custom roms and they also seem to flash fine, with no errors, but my phone is still stuck on the boot logo. Thanks for any more help.

im afraid like me, your stuck on 4.3... download the offical rom and odin it across to your phone, you will not be able to root your phone from now on, your stuck stuck with stock 4.3.. you cant even enter recovery mode thanks to knox.. just the download mode.. like i said in my post "UP YOURS SAMSUNG" IF I EVER SEE YOU IN THE STREET ILL KNOX YOU OUT LOL
relating btuali
Thanks for you replies and help so far. It would be good if I could flash 4.3 through odin, but unfortunately after each successful flash, my phone remains on the sIII logo screen. Maybe there is a specific rom that you guys could recommend that I try? Thanks once again.
Hi there. A big thanks for taking the time to help and give advice. I now finaly have my phone working again. I used Odin 3.7 and the latest official rom, entitled "I9305XXUENA1_I9305SIOENA1_SIO.zip" Odin froze and stalled a few times trying to install but after a few tries it worked. I can now also get back into recovery mode now. So, I was wondering might it be a good idea to do the normal wipes in recovery mode. ie wipe cache, etc. Thanks once again.
Yes keep it clean...

[N910C][TUTORIAL]TWRP Recovery on 5.1.1. (No root)

Hi guys Recently Samsung released 5.1.1 for our devices! So I decided to make a easy tutorial on how to install TWRP on our devices (unfortunately without root).
1. Download newest odin from Here!
2. Reboot to download mode.
3. Download this file TWRP RECOVERY
4.Flash it with AP option.
5. Done! Now You should be able to boot into TWRP Recovery.
Info
Can I restore my previous custom rom now?
Yes and no. I tried restoring two roms. AOSP and TW, aosp had a bootloop then successfully booted, and TW didn't seem to boot at all.
Does it root my device/Can I root my device now?
Nope, not yet. I tried to make a custom rom with root built in but it was stuck in a bootloop.
Why would I need this?
Well. Now You can restore Your rom, and flash other roms(Some may fail due to a newer bootloader).
Any bugs?
Sometimes first boot after flashing this recovery might bootloop, but just remove Your battery and turn on Your phone again.(Happened only once to me)

Yes... I did manage to restore the backup image of 5.1 as I ended up in bootloop while trying for the root access. So far OK with at least TWRP is working.
I have a question, If I'm on 5.1.1 and I've installed this TWRP, By using this TWRP RECOVERY, can I install 5.0.1 custom rom via zip file?
I do not mean to restore my backup rom. I mean I do a fresh installation

It seems to bootloop roms that need 5.0 bootloader. But AOSP rom that runs on 5.1.1 boots up without any problems. Just during boot You might see message "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and then the rom should boot up.
I flashed twrp via odin and it says pass then reboot after that when i try to enter recovery it get me to stock recovery any clue why is that and how to solve this ? v.v
Thanks a ton bro.
thank u so much guys

Easiest way on odin is make sure auto reboot is unchecked. When its done unplug the cable pull the battery put it back in boot into twrp Let me know how it works out for you.

When Im trying to enter recovery mode it is stuck at TWRP loading screen

In odin mode it was written that Custom binary download: Yes (4 counts) Does this message has something to do with my problem?
I think my device is soft bricked, I cant open my phone again and whenever i try to enter recovery mode it stuck at TEAMWIN blue screen.
I already tried flashing other custom recovery such as stock and CWM but when I flash it through odin it is successful but when I try putting my phone on recovery it is still the same.
I already tried flashing the stock rom from Sammobile and it is successful through odin but when I open my phone it is still Cyanogenmod.
What should I do? I ran out of options, All i want is to make my recovery mode working again so that I can wipe and reflash my rom.
Thanks a lot, hoping somebody can help me soon.
Im using GT-I8190
ROM: Cyanogenmod
Recovery: TWRP

Can't flash recovery on my S3

Hello, just bought an used i8190. Since last friday i have been trying to flash a custom recovery on this phone via Odin, but after i flash it returns to the default recovery on next boot.
Yes, i have unchecked the "Auto-reboot" option on Odin. I turn off the phone and then manually enter recovery but with no results. I rooted the phone pretty easily and installed both TWRP and CWM apps to flash from android, but they don't work either (twrp crashes always and CWM just gives me an error.
Mi baseband model is XXAll2
kernel is 3.0.31 [email protected] (root name seems weird)
I searched the forum and found similar cases with the baseband, but even so i haven't found a concrete solution.
I even flashed a new pre-rooted rom from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030282
Mi compilation number has changed to XXAMG1 but the baseband remains the same. I can't flash a recovery whatever i try.
I hope someone can give me an answer, cause i really want to use this phone feautures to it's fullest
Update:
Somehow, i managed to flash CWM via it's app successfully. However, when i tried to flash the TWRP via zip all i got was a blank screen and the phone booted directly to Android. I had to reflash the cwm with the app. However, i tried flashing via odin the Lineage os 14 from novafusion and i got a bootloop, reflashed the old stock firmware and now my device works but the recovery doesn't, and can't even flash this time via the app.
I tried flashing via ODIN stock recovery and other recoverys and i still get the same result. I have downloaded some stock roms, but im afraid to flash them in case i end up in a bootloop and unable to access recovery still
Any clues?

Flash the stock rom as it will fix bootloops and bricked devices. Make sure to have the right ROM and flash it with Odin. The os may take longer on first boot and make sure to factory reset it as data may cause bootloops, then try flashing the recovery.
I flashed twrp 3.1.1 through Odin
