Hard reset did not help (reset to factory settings), this is the first time I encountered such a problem, so the first solution was to turn to experts for help. I took him to a miracle workshop, where he lay for almost half a year .. They could not find the firmware in any way .. My patience came to an end, I took it. On the way home, I brought in another pro. during the day they promised to do it. In the evening to come to pick up - it turns out they did not ask. The answer is the same - they cannot find the firmware. Returned in the same condition that I gave them.

Well, well, it was not, I thought and decided to make my contribution to the repair of this unit, it will not be worse. Having rummaged through the forums at home, after reading how and what such devices are sewn, I realized that the most important thing is to guess the firmware version. Similar Samsung Galaxy Nout-fakes on the network turned out to be a lot of firmware options. Well, I started downloading and trying them.

The most popular firmware for this device on the network turned out to be this: MaPan_MX913_DC_Jelly_Bean_4.1os_Root_Firmware_D20130601_UP and MaPan_MX913_DC_Jelly_Bean_4.2_Os_Root_Firmware_J20131101, but they completely lacked touchscreen support. That is, everything is beautiful, albeit in Chinese, but you can't move your finger across the screen, only the keyboard can control the tablet, which turned out to be very inconvenient. I started looking for other options. Online W3bsit3-dns.com and other similar sites, I found a lot of useful things. And after trying 100500 firmware, and did not find one that would work with the tablet normally. Some worked with a touchscreen, but it had a dead zone with a centimeter from below, others had the calibration of pressing the screen down, that is, a centimeter below you had to poke your finger, others did not have a motion sensor or an accelerator, which were in Mexican or completely on Arabic and so on. In general, I got tired of looking for a pig in a poke and I remembered that when I was taking apart this tablet, I took several pictures of its insides, and decided to look at the markings at them. The fact that there was a miracle processor

All Winner A13 I remembered, and it didn't give me anything, but what else was there for the inscriptions ... After reviewing the pictures, I found this cherished inscription on one of the boards of an unnamed tablet: "For-Fun Q3 Main v1.4".

Well, now there was at least some other clue. Going to the software repository on mail ru through the same wonderful site w3bsit3-dns.com, I found several firmware for "For-Fun Q3 Main v1.4". Well, the matter remained small. After downloading the one that weighed more, 624 meters, I poured it into my tablet, waited impatiently for it to reboot, and was upset, the tablet hung on the same inscription "android", on the second attempt I was lucky by uploading this "ZET6223WTAROM" weight in 446 megabytes, firmware, I got 100% result! The tablet is working. Everything, absolutely everything worked as it should. Download speed, screen, touchscreen and Wi-Fi - everything worked perfectly. I didn't even imagine how many cool applications could be uploaded to this China! The firmware was assembled on android 4.0.4, which also pleased me, that is, it is more fresh.

Well, now, in order, how and how I did it all.

What we need: a computer with the Widows XP or Windows 7 32-bit operating system, the Phoenix suit program, a cable for connecting a tablet, firmware and the tablet itself.

amsung, it is important to familiarize yourself a little with the device itself. So you can find out some useful things that you did not even know about before. Therefore, let's take a short excursion into the cosmic world of Samsung Galaxy devices - such as n9005 Note, n900, S3, N7100 and others.

Devices Galaxy line- these are very popular, stylish and high quality gadgets

The Samsung smartphone market today accounts for an impressive share. The mobile giant in the modern world is the biggest competitor for another popular company that even kids know about - Apple. And this is no coincidence, because Samsung presents to the public a large number of a wide variety of devices in all possible price categories. This, in principle, gives the company a certain advantage - the availability of devices for all segments of the population. If a person cannot afford a smartphone for 20,000 rubles, but he needs modern functions, then some of them can be provided by budget models. And Samsung is doing quite well in this regard: the company's devices in the budget price segment have a large number of necessary functions in their arsenal.

The most popular are the Galaxy series models. They include both premium smartphones S, S Edge, Note and more affordable ones - A, Grand, Grand Prime and others. How do these devices differ from each other?

As you know, the Galaxy S and S Edge are top smartphones companies that are released every year with new characteristics, functions and features, receiving a new number in the name ( latest version series - seventh). Note is positioned as a tablet (quite a popular word today), a device for business people or creative people. For those who constantly need big screen and the main feature of this device is the S Pen, which allows you to create quick notes, sketches and other types of handwriting directly on the screen in various applications.

Grand and Grand Prime are positioned in the segment budget smartphones as the most popular. And this is not without reason: the devices have two cameras - front and main, a touch screen, support for high-speed networks, access to the global network, the ability to install almost any program (except for complex games and applications) and use them.

Official firmware update

Without using a computer

1. So, you decided to update the version of the operating system of your smartphone without any cords or other devices, but only by the device itself. Go!
2. Initially, we connect to Wi-Fi networks... Without this, there is no point in going further. If access to wireless networks no, but there is a computer with access to the global network and a cable for USB, then move on to the next paragraph entitled "Using a computer."
3. Now go to the "Settings" menu and find the item "About device". Here we will need a tab called "Software Update". We press the update button.

Samsung in its official manual (instructions) for upgrading the operating system recommends resetting the data after such manipulations. Otherwise, Samsung warns of possible system malfunctions. This does not necessarily happen with your gadget, but you can take this into account if you find such problems in the further work with the phone.

However, it is worth remembering that before resetting, it is important to always save all existing data: photos, contacts, videos, music, documents. This can be done manually, by simply transferring information to a computer, or using the Smart Switch utility, which allows you to do backup data Samsung smartphone Galaxy n9005 Note, n900, S3, N7100 and others.

Firmware using a third-party program Odin

First, familiarize yourself with the main points that in no case should be violated. You have been warned about this several times so that later you do not grab your head and say to yourself: "What have I done?" Therefore, it is better to play it safe and carefully watch what needs to be done and what you are doing.

1. All operations you perform at your own peril and risk. This is the most important rule, because after flashing unofficially, you void Samsung's warranties.
2. Do not pull out the power cord of the computer or laptop, that is, ensure the unconditional operation of the PC.
3. Charge your smartphone at least 80-90 percent so that it cannot be discharged during the update.
4. When connecting to a PC, use only the original cord.

Preparing and configuring services

As you may have noticed, these rules do not differ from the requirements for updating with official Samsung tools, so it will be easy for you to follow them. Now let's move on to the most important thing:

1. First, download the Odin utility. It can be taken from the site (http: // androidpru / odin-firmware-samsung /).
2. Now download the firmware file for your device to your computer. If you do not know where to do this, then you can use Samsung program Firmware Linker, which allows you to find and download the firmware specifically for your device.
3. Download the driver for your device to your computer. This is necessary for the correct detection and configuration of the smartphone when it is connected to a PC. You can use the resource (http://androidp1.ru/drviver-for-android/).
4. Be sure to save all important data from the device to any other medium just in case. Because when flashing, partial or complete loss of information from the gadget is possible.
5. The preparatory work is over, and we are moving on to the main process. We transfer the phone to the firmware mode. If you do not know how to do this, then we try this option: turn off the device, hold down the volume down, center and lock (off) buttons at the same time. If it works correctly, you should go to a special menu, where using the volume up key you will consent to launch in firmware mode. If you did not get into such a menu, then find this information specifically for your device.
6. If you succeed, you can connect the device to your computer via USB. Wait a while for the necessary drivers to be installed.
7. After that, you can launch the Odin application on your computer. On the left in the corner, you will see that the gadget is connected, which means that we are moving on.
8. Now you need to add the firmware files in the correct order. If for single-file firmware everything is very clear (insert the firmware into the AP or PDA field by clicking on the appropriate button), then with multi-file firmware you will have to tinker a little longer.

Multi-file firmware

Let's figure out which files and in which field you need to insert:

1. PIT is inserted into the PIT field.
2. tar.md5 - in BL or Bootloader.
3. CODE_xxxxx.tar.md5 file - in AP or PDA.
4. MODEM_xxxxx.tar.md5 file - in CP or PHONE.
5. tar.md5 - to CSC.

Continuation

1. Please note that you do not need to check any checkboxes on the left if the firmware itself does not provide for this.
2. After the correct placement of the firmware files, press the START button and wait until the program finishes. When finished, the word RESET or PASS appears on the left. The device will now reboot and be ready for use again. You can disconnect your smartphone from your computer.

Conclusion

If, after flashing or flashing your device, you cannot turn it on (the so-called "eternal reboot"), then try resetting. It is also known by its other name, Wipe. We hope that you can still get the firmware or flashing of your Samsung Galaxy n9005 Note, n900, S3, N7100 and others without any incident. Good luck, dear readers!

Surely many do not want to wait for the official Samsung update Galaxy Note on Android 4.0, and want to flash their smartphone today. So I decided to write this small instruction so that everyone can quickly and successfully do this. Immediately I draw your attention to the fact that you do all the manipulations with your favorite phone at your own peril and risk, and neither I nor anyone else will be responsible in case of his untimely departure.

But be alarmed, everything is not so scary, and after spending about 15 minutes of your time, you will get an updated, magnificent Android on your smartphone and a bunch of all sorts of goodies.

First steps

So, taking the smartphone in hand, immediately copy the contents of the folder efs to a safe place. Since you have to do "full wipe", you need to save all the necessary data from your phone, make a backup of SMS, contacts and any other required files, applications, etc. The latter can be done using the utility.

Preparing for firmware

• The firmware itself, for example

We unpack the whole thing into a folder on the PC, and take out the cable from the table (box, drawer) to connect the phone to the computer. Now you need to upload the firmware file in the archive to the root of the memory card, in this case it will be called ICS_Stunner_1.4.26.1.zip.

Technical process

1. We turn off the smartphone, connect the cable to it and the PC, put it in the “download” mode. To do this, you need to simultaneously hold down the keys: power on, volume down and the center button. A green robot appears.
2. Next, you need to run the program for the firmware itself, namely the file Odin3 v1.85.exe from a previously downloaded set. We don't change anything in Odin, just select the CHAINFIRE REPACK I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK.tar file in the "PDA" item. That's it, now we press "Start" with an almost firm hand.
3. We are waiting for the end of the process, after which we reboot the smartphone.
4. We go into recovery mode and select the item "wipe data / factory reset" there. This will destroy all data in the smartphone! It is not necessary to do, but it is highly desirable, a kind of "brain cleaning".
5. Select "install zip from sd card" and find the previously downloaded firmware file on the memory card, select it and press confirmation. The process takes less than a minute.
6. We select "reboot system now" and enjoy the flashed smartphone.
