HELP

Im stuck on samsung boot screen after installing sec_csc and the 2400258.zip

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

It says "ERROR: Failed to send data!Releasing device interface..."

You put those on your card, right? You're not referring to the hemdall failing at 95% are you, because it will but doesn't matter.

Stickied with my post-it-note 3

If you did in fact put those on the card, maybe they were bad downloads, I do recall a red error on my phone screen but ignored it and everything worked

Stickied with my post-it-note 3

In Heimdall it doesnt even show "95%" it just says "ERROR: Failed to send data!Releasing device interface..."

For clarification, what step # are you on? The only place you would see that error is in heimdall, and you've stated you're stuck after running the zip files in recovery..

Following the step numbers, you shouldn't be using heimdall after flashing MI9_fix.img.ext4

I suggest starting from step 1 and remember, there's a difference between download mode (used for ODIN and Heimdall) and recovery (used when flashing .zip files)

Edit

If you are getting that error while flashing mi9_fix, then check the following:

Size of the MI9_fix.img.ext4 file
Your note is in download mode
Zadiag.exe reported a successful driver install
Heimdall says "device detected" after clicking detect device on the options tab
The system partition is selected in the flash dropdown

Im on step 4 but its still giving me "ERROR: Failed to send data!Releasing device interface..." I am re-downloadig "MI9_fix.img.ext4" to be sure

"9) IMPORTANT--After flashing the sec_csc, the Note will reboot.
Try to catch it in time to reboot BACK into recovery
Once in recovery, select "Choose update from external" in the recovery, and select the 2400258.zip you downloaded earlier."

What happens if I could not able to catch it time to reboot back into recovery??
as it says instruction Note will reboot, means when it reboots do we have to press any key combination to get back to recovery?

Are you in download mode?

nothing terribly bad - it is just really simpler and quicker if you catch it on the first reboot.
You have to hold volume up and home to enter recovery mode.

 

[ZOOPidy]

Yes in download mode

Yes in download mode

were you able to flash the odin files?

if i already have stock mj5, can i just skip all of the steps and go to step 10 to root my device?

unfortunately not with this method. My modded img file has an exploint similar to RDLV and needs to be flashed via heimdall.

You could try kingo, I haven't ever used it, but i've heard success stories

 

[appdroid]

Can you root if you are on MJ5? Using this method?? or is Kingo the only option??

 

[pham818]

you should add in the OP that for odin and Heimdall that you should be in download mode, threw me off a little haha.

 

[pham818]

Go to the last tab and click detect device.... then go back to flash tab and click on the word " system " the check no reboot and click start again

You can use this method (follow from step 5) but it will factory-reset your data partition.

If you don't want to factory reset, you'll need to use kingo:cyclops:

would rather factory reset then using kingo! Thank You! SO doing all the steps after 5 will root my phone and it won't trip knox right? Sorry just been behind on this Note 3.
