I need help to revive my ME7 SCH-I545 VERIZON. my device was rooted and had a twrp recovery. accidently I installed 4.3 on stock slot in TWRP. Now I can't boot anymore into sys or recovery. I tried to flash stock rom through ODIN but it failed with "no pit partition error".
I loaded a pit file (which I am not sure is compatible with ME7) and it failed again.
I don't know how to remove the TWRP recovery while the device is dead. It seems to me the logical thing to do because of pit error in odin.
Any idea?

Well it's impossible to have TWRP on ME7 so that might be you're first problem.

Are you sure?

As far as I know I had a twrp. I installed it and got a recovery which I encounter the first time: first an option to choose if to continue to system or to recovery. press recovery and then you get all the options like boot options, install, wipe and so on. I had my stock rom me7 installed on the stock slot and I installed a custom rom on slot 1. My mistake was to install the new ver 4.3 on the stock slot instead of an new slot.

I hope that I convinced you. I still need a help! my device is dead!

joshm.1219 thank you for trying.


I finally found an uncorrupted tar file. I flashed it with odin and everything is working now.
I can say now with certainty that most files out there are corrupted which is very bad news for us users.
