new P900 5.02 ROM on sammobile not flashing?

[dwl99]

I see there's a new 5.02 ROM on sammobile for Cellular South (I think this may be a US carrier).

Model SM-P900
Model name GALAXY NotePRO 12.2 Wi-Fi
Country Cellular south
Version Android 5.0.2
Changelist 5574008
Build date Thu, 13 Aug 2015 06:34:16 +0000
Product code XAR
PDA P900UEU1COH2
CSC P900XAR1COH2

Unfortunately I get a flash error every time when flashing it on top of the Korean P900KXUBOG6 5.02 ROM. I've downloaded it from 2 different sources and used Odin 3.09 and 3.10. Has anyone else tried it? Make sure you have your original ROM to reflash if you give this a go!

I have no problem of flashing over the Korean version

Any chance of you uploading the rom you flashed? Which version of Odin did you use?

I had the exact same problem trying to flash it over the Korean release. Mine was downloaded from links on Samsung-updates.
Help much appreciated.

I downloaded the ROM and Odin 3.10.6, from Sammobile site. I don't know why you have problem of flashing over the Korean version. I did it just in 5 minutes and it boots normally without any lost of settings or apps.

You may try flash back to US Kitkat, then flash the latest OH2, or using the normal update routine from the tablet.

Thanks for this. Was Knox OK doing it this way?

See all of my pictures, as long as you flash the official firmware, there is no problem, you're not rooting your tablet.
I flashed from US Lollipop OF4 to Korean OG6, then to Kitkat NK1, then to Korean OG6, and the last one is OH2., all of them are official ROMs.
Actually, Galaxy Note Pro wifi version is identical tablet in all regions, the difference is firmware loaded into it.

Thanks for this.
However, COH2 size is 2,322,361, while COF4 is 2,339,711.

Both report corrupt archive when extracting with WinRAR, but no corruption error is reported with 7-ZIP.

Odin Flash fails for both firmwares. What could be the issue here? Surely it has nothing to do with the region?

If the file is corrupted when extracting with winrar, you can flash it. I had no problem when extracting with winrar.
May be you have problem with download as I downloaded just from Sammobile the Korean OG6 and US OH2.

Try to download this OH2 Build and make sure they're not corrupted when extracting, the original I downloaded from Sammobile and flash without any problem

Thanks for uploading your OH2 files. Unfortunately I got the same result, a failed flash. I'm currently flashing OF2 then will try OH2 on top of that, i.e. bypass OG6. I see that you had success dropping back to NK1 and reflashing the BL & CSC files separately but you then seem to have been able to flash OG6 then OH2. Neither myself nor Yosefe can successfully do OG6 -> OH2.

UPDATE - OF2 -> OH2 fails. Will try NK1 -> OH2 next

Here is my history:
1- From Kitkat 4.42-NK1, upgraded to Lollipop 5.02-OF4, via OTA ( US version ).
2-Flashed Lollipop Korean OG6 over US OF4 to fix bluetooth.
3- Flashed back to US Kitkat NK1 using only PDA file, stuck at Samsung Logo.
4- Flashed again with 3 files checked: (BL, PDA, and CSC ), succeeded at boot to come back Kitkat NK1.
5- Flashed back to Korean OG6.
6- Finally come back to US version by flashing OH2 over OG6.
My only failure when flash back to Kitkat with only PDA file. Odin passed but stuck at boot.
Other times, I only flash PDA file in steps : 2, 5, 6.
OG6 and OH2, I downloaded from Sammobile . NK1 I downloaded not from Sammobile.
I did just for fun and experienced different official ROMs.

 

[dwl99]

OH2 successfully flashed on top of NK1. When NK1 booted it had done a factory reset whereas all my other flashes were dirty flashes. I wonder if that had anything to do with it? Anyway, thanks for your help!

 

[YOSEFE]

Still struggling. Flashed NK1, stuck Samsung screen.

Will try downloading again. Is extracted file size of 2,322,361 kb correct?

Yes. Did you flash the BL & CSC files at the same time as the ROM as per the earlier post?

If stuck at boot, try to Recovery Mode: Power+ Volume Up. Clear Data/ Catch, then Factory Reset.
If it doesn't work, flash with all checked: Bootloader, AP, and CSC. It should boot normally.

Hello,
Where can I download the BL & CSC files, do I tag the same file as PDA?

Thanks.

The files in both Part 1 and Part 2 look the same as the md5 for AP or PDA?

This is where you download the BL and CSC for Kitkat NK1 if you stuck at boot, assume you already have AP file for Kitkat NK1,
You need to load there files BL, AP, and CSC to Odin, after it finished loading, click Start. It should be done in 4 minutes and your tablet should boot normally:

And after flash back to Kitkat successfully , you only need the AP file of Lollipop OH2 to flash over the NK1 as he did.

Okay, this is now very clear.

If I fail, there must just be a problem with my note.

Cheers mate.
