Did you install the drivers? Does Odin find your tab?
EDIT: this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315364 is CWM flashable firmware, you can't flash this with Odin!
Yeah it finds it, and i ahve the drivers installed, ahh how stupid of me lol, well atm im downloading the asian firmware from samsfirmware, which i will try to use, and then I will flash it with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315364, will this work? or am i being stupid again?
Thanks for the help!
How did you brick it in the first place? What did you try to do?
If you are in Europe, why not just flash European firmware on it?
I tried to install the clock work recovery app, which when i ran crashed my tab, and it was stuck in the intro loops. I can get into the odin download mode as i said before, but thats it. Thats a fair point, but i cant find the european firmware, would much appreciate it if you could link it to me!
Thanks

You have a WIFI only GT8.9 (P7310), correct?
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/135410941/a028c7d/P7310XXKJ4_P7310XEUKJ4_XEU.zip.html < this should work.
Check out this guide on how to use Odin > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406137
Thankyou very much, that asian firmware actually worked in the end, worked when i tried a newer version of odin, so I should just do the same with this rom through odin with the one u linked? so i have european firmware?. Now i have a better understanding of it all, through learning the hard way , I was thinking of using the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321142 rom, with this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344330, is that ok?

Ok guys. I got the first ota att 4.2.2 update that caused my digitizer to stop working. So I came here looking to find a way to flash back. Well apparantly I flashed the boot loader. Not meaning to do this. It has left me in recovery boot. I have searched the forums, google, tried many different things. The pit file i found on here, everything. I have tried to adb sideload the ota update. But it reboots me out of recovery soon after it starts. Any who can help please do. I have searched and searched. Im not exactly what you call the problem other than soft bricking.
2910
and nothing from anyone?? has no one made this mistake before and able to get a fix or least can tell me what i need to search for. i don't know exact.
I have experienced a similar problem. The only solution that was successful for me was to download the Samsung Kies software and preform a emergency firmware recovery.

thanks for the reply. i have tried kids with no success. when i enter my model and serial number it tells me it is not valid. i know it is. i don't think kies can fix the ota update. maybe they can but it won't accept my model and serial number. i have the right drivers installed. but nothing
I'm assuming you've already used Odin as well then?
Yes I have. I have sent it somewhere to be fixed. He has told me the Knox did some kind if self destruct!!!!!
yay thanks ebay service
So I sent my soft bricked phone in for service. Now I get it back and it wont even power on. Talk about suck
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try aga
My watch is stuck on a screen saying
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I can't get it to connect to Odin, adb, anything...
Can't get it into recovery or download mode.
If I hold the power button, it just flashes off quickly, then straight back into that screen.
Any ideas??
I understand you're in a panic because your device is having issues. But please read the forum rules and search for your issue before posting the same question in multiple threads like you just did. By you posting the same question over and over searching becomes difficult and people are less likely to help. Please try searching again. If you can't find a resolution post exactly what you did, and what files you were trying to load.
I haven't had any further progress.
When I try to flash with Odin, it gets stuck at SetupConnection..

No, but the device does "show up" in Odin. But again, doesn't get past Setup Connection when I try to flash something.
Ok... Fixed my issue.
Just had to flash the MK7 firmware. That was the ONLY one that works.
Thanks all!

Yeah mate,
You just have to download a stock MK7 firmware from sammobile. I don't think it matters which region, I used Australia (because that's where I am).
Then connect up the watch, right click on Odin 3.09 to "open as administrator", make sure the watch shows up in a "COM" port, load the MD5 into AP, then start.
Not sure how much more detail I can give.
Good luck guy!

That's exactly what I did but for some reason mine is not working
I got the same issue. When i do it, im still stock at "SetupConnection.."
By the way, im from Denmark, so which region do i have to choose? Cause, denmark is not on the list.
And, what were you flashing at first when you bricked your Gear ?
A friend of mine went through the same problems 2 days ago, he tried to flash directly Tizen 2.2.1.1 over Null_rom (Android), and it went bad like your Gear.
I found out he needed to first flash Tizen 2.2.0, the very first Tizen version that came out.
This version weights 200MB+ than the latest.
I guess it's all the Android -> Tizen conversion software and tools that are embedded, and if flashing a newer Tizen version directly, it fails because of this 200MB+ stuff lacking in the rom.
Is it what you did too ?
I don't know if this is documented somewhere down here, didn't searched before reply.

Complete newb here, i haven't done any development work or even tried rooting or flashing my phone. Over the last couple of days, apps have started crashing as soon as i open them, and then yesterday i rebooted the device and it won't go past the Motorola logo. I've searched through a few threads and there isn't a simple enough answer or procedure to follow to get this working. Also most similar issues have USB debugging on etc, whereas i have no developer settings on at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated
You didn't search enough for an answer i see. But okey for the lazy i will help you, no offense
Can u access (AP)fastboot and can u boot into recovery from fastboot? Have a look at the link in my signature on how to get in fastboot and then in recovery.

Literally my first post mate, how about you cut me some slack. I spent about 4/5 hours searching last night and even took the phone apart. If there is an answer please point me in the direction of it. There are countless threads where the issue is the user has loaded their own ROM or flashed the device already or something like that, which caused the system files to become corrupted. But as i mentioned i have done nothing to the device except for a data wipe a few months back, and there doesn't seem to be any threads where this just happened out of nowhere. I have booted into fastboot, recovery and done the partition cache & data wipe and rebooted, that was my first step.

Hoho, okey, my words have offended you and I am sorry for that.
I can't simply give u an answer if you only said that it doesn't boot and u looked for something to fix it. There are many fixes for many sorts of problems. Also if I knew u have tried to wipe the cache and data I would give u a totally different answer. But u had not mentioned anything about what u had done to try to fix it.
For now, if even a data/factory reset from recovery didn't work I suggest u need to try to reflash the whole stock firmware. See in my signature the link to an index thread about the phone. U can find there the ways to reflash to your stock firmware and hopefully fix your issue.
If u need some more help to flash stock firmware, don't hesitate to ask here.

So, this is all brand new to me. I'm using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974568
The firmware is from here - http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=13
- I chose the 4.1.2 UK Retail as i purchased the phone through Virgin Mobile (UK)
Drivers and RSD 6.1.6 are now installed so will try now
Is everything right so far?
Seems to have worked, but it seems a bit different and some apps like hangouts are unavailable now, even though i had them before. The firmware i chose was UK Retail, however i am not 100% that this is the one to use as i bought it through Virgin Mobile (UK).
Hangouts should work just fine. Strange.
But nice that all works fine now

Im having the same issue described on this thread.
My phone doesnt start, it stays at the logo screen. I've tried to recover, factory reset and nothing worked. I have access to the (AP)fastboot screen.
Later then i saw this thread, i've did everything as described at your tutorial, tried all the versions of the RSD Lite (6.1.4, 6.1.5, 6.1.6), it cant detect my phone.
I've tried in two different PCs, tons of different USB ports, running as administrator, compatibility mode...the PC tells me that the USB is connected, but the RSD Lite doesnt recognise it.
I've tried using these two options of motorola drivers:
- motohelper_2.1.40_driver_5.5.0.exe (that i found at your post)
- MotorolaDeviceManager_2.4.5.exe (found another similar tutorial on the internet)
Am i missing something?
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks!

did you boot first into Fastboot-mode before you connect to pc?
1. Install Driver + RSD Lite
2. Boot into fastboot + connect USB
3. Start RSD Lite

Yep. Thats exactly what i did.
I tried only using Windows 8.1. Is it compatible?
I will test on a win7 PC later.
UPDATE:
Worked RSD Lite on Win7, it found my phone. I belive RSD Lite doesnt work on Win 8.1 (at least on my PC and notebook).
I believe my firmware version is this one:
Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.982.50.29002.XT890.Vivo.en.BR Vivo Brasil 537.6 MiB
Can i use the Retail version without problems? (this one: Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.982.50.29.XT890.Brasil.en.BR Retail Brasil 532.8 MiB)
Thanks!
Finally got my phone working again!
I got it running RSD Lite 6.1.6 on Win 7 and used the same Firmware version that i had (in my case: Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.982.50.29002.XT890.Vivo.en.BR Vivo Brasil 537.6 MiB), not the Retail one.
Also used the MotorolaDeviceManager_2.4.5.exe that i got from Motorola website.
My phone now is up and running like charm, no apps or configs lost, everything seems perfect (and also a little bit faster). Not sure what caused my issue, did nothing but normal use.
I hope everyone with the same problem can find this easy solution and follow the right steps (and maybe avoid Win8 to do the process).
Thank you guys for all the information :good:!
Good it is solved. It can happen to anyone. Just a small coruption or miss configuration can take out the android system. Luckily this almost never happens and u were just unfortunate.

Hello,
I am a noob... My note 5 went into boot loop several days after installing Avira (after the last update my phone said I had a virus... I should have known better)... I have spent many days researching and trying different things... most advice came from XDA so I joined. I have learned a lot but still have no success.
Samsung says I need a new phone... the local store took out the battery with no luck... They said its a gonner. Really??
I can get the phone into download and have it talk to my PC, but that is it... I cannot get into recovery or reset the phone
I was able to downgrade to OK3 using odin and passed, but still boot loop
I have purchased software to recover data, but FRP has blocked it
I have tried many different ways to remove FRP, but all have failed... I don't think I ever put this phone in debugging mode so I think that is why the other things have failed.
Is there anything I can do? Can you point me in the right direction (as long as it is not the trash can)
Please help.
Since you can get into download mode , have you tried to flash a full firmware package (make sure of model number first) via Odin ? sammobile has most firmwares. I would start with that. Good luck
Thank you so much for responding... I flashed ok3 from one of the links posted on this site using Odin and it passed successfully, but did not fix the problem. What would be the full firmware pack and were could I find so I know I have the right one

Just use smart switch. You don't have to worry about which firmware to be flashed. It will decide for you.

I tried that before with no success, but since Smart Switch had an update I tried it again... It says it does not support my SM-N920P.
I tried emergency rescue and it recognized my model number, but says I entered the wrong SN... I pretty sure I am entering the right SN
