SM-T531 looks like bricked. - Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys.
i recently installed a new unofficial rom that the starter @sub77 said it might be compatible with SM-T531 too.after installing it now when i try to flash anything using odin it says fail after recovery.img file.

I wouldnt flash firmware that "might" work on your device or is build for another rom.... you should try reinstalling drivers and flash stock rom thru odin, if it wont work try twrp 3.0.0 if it detects your storage....

Go into TWRP, choose wipe, then choose the advanced wipe option. Wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik. Make sure you have a ROM to flash after you do so, this will remove the operating system

Has this guy solved? Since he can boot into twrp where it should be the problem? I ve seen some posts and some step is missing... if twrp says 0mb storage, are u sure u selected the right storage?

thanks for helping.
TWRP recently couldn't access any storage on device and recently not coming up by pressing power + volume up + home
i tried to flash TWRP again but nothing changed.

Oops. i must edit the last post for mention but i chose wrong butto. sorry

you told you did a repartition, how? you should try to make full wipe and flash a stock rom with odin, with repartition.

i downloaded this and flashed it.after that i flashed TWRP using Odin.then i tried again to flash a rom or boot to TWRP.
still trying.

[Q] ClockWorkMod is not working

Hi,
I have Note 3 - SM-N900. with ROM SER [Russia].
After flashing the ClockWork, It's not working, see the attachment! I can't choose ZIP file.
Reflash it, that looks like the stock recovery. Make sure you flash the correct one for your device.

Does odin shows 'pass' message?. After successful cwm flash, you phone will reboot and automatically enter cwm. Then after some times it will attempt to reboot to OS. If it ask to flash stock recovery then choose no

- you should be on kitkat stock rom.. the recommended firmware is NH6 and NK1 base
- root your phone
- then install recovery like cwm 6.0.5.1 or philz 6.49.0. you can find it on grand 2 thread easily
- after that install S6 styled S5 port. before install. make sure youdo this :
1. wipe data,cache, and dalvik. wipe dalvik can be find in advanced option
2. format system and boot in mount and storage option
3. then flash the rom
4. then aroma installer should be begin. there 2 option here
- wipe external sd card : this will wipe all your external sd card
- no wipe
if you dont want your data in ext gone.. dont choose wipe ext sd card !
instead use no wipe
5. oh yeah after that flash deds kernel v2.0 in kernel section of grand 2 thread. if you already download it. just flash it..
the reason flash deds kernel because it will fix the wifi and xposed installer issue
- and its finished. just reboot your phone now.. wait 5 minute and yay.. :laugh:
if i help. please hit thanks button okay

hmm maybe you should do this
- flash stock rom nk1 again and root it again
- after root your phone, reboot .and you will see supersu app. open it.then you will see knox bootloader. choose disable bootloader. then now it update binary from supersu. choose normal .dont use twrp/cwm option. reboot again. and now download busybox in play store. after that install the busybox
- then flash recovery.. and then see the instruction of flashing rom in my previous post
note : dont flash deds kernel v2.3e... it will brick your phone... flash deds kernel v2.0
please tell me if it works or not
I opened superu after reboot by it is showing nth in hw to disable bootloader

Oh dear ! Thats not a good sign.your motherboard is acting crazy.try flash twrp again in odin and try to flash rom without wipe cache or dalvik cache (just wipe system) and flash rom.
If same error ( invalid argument) shows again then in twrp advance wipe there is repair tab at bottom in twrp try to repair cache partition and try again.

[Solved] Recovering data from stock bootloop

Hey everyone,
Apologise for asking this question ! As it has been covered before from my research but not exactly and I am still quite confused so I'd greatly appreciate some insight from you guys.
Basically I have a stock i9505 which has gone into bootloop, it is not rooted and not modded in any way.
I've tried to enter recovery mode and wipe cache partition but it did not work, so I can do a factory reset, but a factory reset with stock recovery will wipe all of my data off my internal SD card.
I have downloaded odin but there a few different opinions as to what I should be doing, some threads say I should install CWM and run ADB to fetch the files. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498228&page=2)
Another opinion is that I should use Odin to flash a stock rom
"Install a stock ROM through Odin, as Odin doesn't wipe user data when a ROM is installed. If you want to play it safe however, install TWRP first and make a nandroid backup onto your MicroSD card. Then install the stock ROM."
(From this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/help/recover-data-soft-bricked-s4-i9505-t3236351)
Would someone be able to point me toward the correct process for recovering my files? I will appreciate it immensely.
Thanks very much!

It is the UK unlocked LTE version. I think the version number currently on the phone is i9505xxuhoj2 . However every place I have tried to DL from is one of those sites where you must sign up or it gives you an impractically low speed (sporadic connection means it cuts off the download quite quickly).
Thanks very much.

However every place I have tried to DL from is one of those sites where you must sign up or it gives you an impractically low speed (sporadic connection means it cuts off the download quite quickly).
Thanks very much.

Live demo units are so limited and so far from being a real phones, your phone model is i9505X, so it's not i9505 and so, you won't be able to flash custom ROM on it.

I read your message very well, just "i9505 demo" seems complicating, as the live demo version of the i9505 is the i9505X that's all what i was saying, so if you're sure you have a i9505 phone, then it's not demo.
Back to your problem:
1-what recovery are you using? If TWRP then what version?
2-what rom did you try to flash? And what did you wipe before flashing?

Ok, what TWRP are you using? you should flash android 6 or 7 with the latest TWRP 3, not with an older version, also for stock rom you should download it from a trusted site like sammobile.com, or samsung-firmware.org, other than those i wouldn't recommend, and use Odin 3.07 or 3.09, those versions works for everyone.

OK, did you format system partition as ext4 in TWRP?, f2fs may have problems with system partition.

In advanced wipe menu, Mark the system partition, then press the button at the bottom that says "repair or change file system", and choose EXT4 then format the system, and see if that works, if it didn't work, try doing the same for /data and /cache partitions.

OK, last suggestion is, download the most latest firmware for your phone from sammobile.com and flash it with Odin, and then try the twrp flashing thing again.
Maybe you have an old bootloader.

You're the one who told me your phone is i9505, you should have been sure of that, when you boot your phone the samsung logo appears with the phone name and model? What is written there? I9505 or i9505x?
