I've soft-bricked my phone (ZE552KL) and after multiple failed attempts to fix bootloop by wiping Data, Cache and Dalvik, eventually wiped System too. So now there's nothing on there except for TWRP.
I've been trying to flash firmware from Asus but can only find the WW (Worldwide) version; when I tried flashing this I got an "updater error 7" message. The ZE552KL is not yet officially released here in Japan and I bought mine on import from Taiwan, so I think that's the reason for the failed flash. Therefore I think I need to download the TW (Taiwan) version. I can't find this anywhere, even on Asus' own Taiwan website...
Does anyone have an idea of where I might find this, or of whether I might be barking up the wrong tree? Thanks!
Try to flash different twrp. Don't use the one that provide in the oneclicktools

Hi,
I updated my p7510 that i bought in canada (xac) with firmware xwkg7. I live in germany and wanted a european version of the fw.
I did the following:
-Update tab (pit, bootloader, csc, code) using P7510XXKFC
-Update tab (code) using P7510XWKG7
After the update recovery gave me strange error messages (/preload cannot be mounted and so on). However, I installed CWM, so I do not have these errors anymore.
I also did factory reset, wipe cache...
However, since I updated the firmware I cannot use "about tablet->software update->update" anymore. I always get the following error message:
"Failed to update firmware due to network or server problem. Try software update later (Setting->Software update->Update) or using PC software (Kies)"
Before the update this worked just fine (although no update could be found). I dont have network problems, as I can browse, chat etc.
Since the update Kies is also not showing my current firmware version on my tab.
I guess it has something todo with the country where I bought the tab (canada) and the rom that i used to update (europe version)?
Do you know or have ideas how I could fix this problem?
I dont like the feeling that somwthing is not working on my tab
Thanks!
Klaus
Try to reflash the stock recovery with odin and factory reset, that will recreate the needed data structure on the tab and try again.
Or maybe its because you mixed incompatible code/csc.
Start over.
I found the solution.
I described it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1280069
In short: csc files were completely missing. This caused all my trouble.
Hope this will help someone.

I have the same problem.
So if I want to fix I have to install csc and PDA files at the same time?
Does that mean all my data will be erased?
Could I just use csc?
Where can I find these files?
Sorry for the 1000 questions!
I am currently on vacation and can not tell you the firmware versions, but at Sammy firmware I found two European rom versions. One had also a csc file that I flashed.
Flashing the original csc file with Odin will do a factory reset. You could also download a custom rom, extract the csc stuff and copy it to /system,if you want to avoid factory reset. You have the choice
But if you use an original PDA/code file and flash it with Odin, csc files are not included and must be added afterwards somehow!

Alright, I have a Virgin Mobile S4. I rooted it a year ago with towelroot and installed clockwork mod on it to install cyanogenmod. I tried it, didn't like it so I restored my backup of the stock rom using CWM.
Fast forward to now. I tried to update my S4 OTA for Lollipop, but it would give me an error. I figured it was because I had changed the recovery software. So I went and downloaded the virgin mobile lollipop stock rom from sammobile. ( I337MVLUGOC4_I337MOYAGOC4_VMC ).
I tried to flash it onto my S4 using Odin 3.09. To no avail, it always failed at the system4.img.ext or something. From there I tried to make it work by using 3.10. Still failed. I googled for a fix or workaround and found something about reinstalling clockwork mod. I also tried reinstalling the PIT file for I337M. It was still not working. So I tried to flash back to my stock backup.
1st time I flashed, I kept having program that didn't want to start errors. I wiped dalvik, I wiped cache, I factory reset. Still bugged. So as a last resort I restored the backup again after having done all this. It worked! But...
Well, I'm at a lost now, I can't update using OTA, I can't update with Odin, I can't update with Kies. Now what? Is there a way to go back to the stock recovery and let the OTA or Kies update go through unhindered?
The proper place to ask this is in the AT&T S4 Forum as there are more people with that device who are able to help you. This is the International S4 forum, and while we can help you in a general sense, there may be something device specific we'll miss.
With that out of the way, with the ROM you downloaded, there would be no OTA updates when you installed it as it is the most current ROM available. Since Odin should have worked but didn't, you likely need to use a different USB port, and make sure you're not using a hub. Changing the port can often fix issues with Odin.
As @Strephon Alkhalikoi says this is not the place for it.
But there is one thing I notice. You are flashing an I337M firmware. Are you sure that's your model and you don't have an I337 (without M.
Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade my SM-900 (ha3g) from Kitkat to Lollipop.
I've flashed the latest TWRP and the 5.0 bootloader via ODIN.
I then use TWRP to flash the ROM (I've tried CM and a couple others) - I wipe the necessary file systems prior to wiping and then select the zip to flash it. It flashes fine. I reboot the system and after the Samsung SM-900 screen comes up, it just remains black. Nothing appears. I've waited quite a while in the event it was just initializing, but that's not the case. I've also tried to wipe the caches and factory reset AFTER flashing, but that does not fix the issue.
The phone will just not boot.
Anyone ever experience something like this?
Thanks!
Is a stock LP ROM available for your phone one sammobile.com? If there is, it can be flashed via Odin.
There is, before I try that, is that really my only option? I mean, there must be logical explanation as to why this is happening. I just can't find it via search here or on google .
Three things,
1- Make sure you are using a ROM for N900, not N9005.
2- Check the MD5 value of the ROM you are flashing.
3- How long are you waiting after flashing the ROM? It actually takes quite a long for the first boot, around 5 minutes or so.
Let us know what happens.
Tried those to no avail, unfortunately...
So I flashed a stock ROM with ODIN, and then flashed Cyanogen and it worked. Maybe the modem or some other image wasn't updated and interfering. No idea.
So, mystery solved.
Thanks guys .
After some time with the T580 and FENIX ROM I'm going to give the device to a friend and therefore going back to stock.
I've successfully flashed T580XXU2AQA2 in Odin. Then recovery > wipe dalvik cache + wipe data / factory reset.
After booting to system there seems to be no software update available:
The latest updates have already been installed.
Current version: T580XXU2AQA2//
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Similar message in Smart Switch.
I know for a fact there's T580XXU2BQL1, T580XXU2BQI9 and T580XXU2BQE7 available .
Can you help me understand what is preventing OTA updates?

What is available for OTA depends on your region. Looking at Sammobile, I don't even see an AQA2 listed so I don't know what region it is but it would appear to be an Android 6 version. Why don't you just get the latest version from Sammobile for your region a flash it? Then see what OTA does? Mine just did an OTA to BRB2 within the last couple of days.
SOLVED
Here is what I did to resolve the issue: I flashed a 4 part firmware of BQI9 (3 part to be precise - gtaxlwifi has no phone, and using the CSC not HOME_CSC) in Odin.
After a reboot, the device downloaded and successfully applied the latest firmware after going to settings > software update > download updates manually. Now on BRB2.
Hi,
I installed TWRP on my SM-T515 and was going to install LineageOS, but I got stuck in a boot loop. I can return to TWRP, go to download mode, but system does not boot. When I bought the unit it automatically upgraded to Android 10. So I thought I would use Odin to reinstall an Android 10 Stock ROM. Unfortunately, odin3 gives me an error. Couldn't be because the unit expects the same exact ROM as it had before? I can only tell that I bought my unit from eGlobal Central, it arrived from Hong Kong, and everything is written in Chinese. I tried with the Taiwanese ROM, but I had no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks!
You can try to use the patched Odin to flash the stock from. It may be able to bypass the error. Get it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572

It worked, thanks! I used 3.14.1._3B_Patched and the BRI (Taiwan) ROM.
