Stuck in ODIN mode?!

[DavidDixon]

Hello everyone, please see below photos.

I have a Samsung SM-A300XU that is stuck in Odin mode. It says in screen that the product name is SM-A300FU??

How do I get this thing up and running???

I have tried Kies with no success....

Could Kies connect to the device?

Ok, so I "fixed" it somewhat. I found the correct firmware... but that firmware is a live demo unit firmware...

Your Odin screen shows sm-A300FU, I think the XU version is the demo one. There are ROMS for FU, here https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-A300FU/

Thank you for the link. I must admit I am a daily iPhone user and android is all new to me. I am downloading the FU firmware now.

I didn't know you could flash a different Models ROM onto another model. Interesting!
