Hi I installed the root for my s 4 i9505 but i used the i9500 and now it is stuck on the kies thing. I was wondering if there was anything i could do and also if someone has the pit partition for the h3g stock rom i could try that way. Any help is appreciated.
Try to flash back your stock Rom with odin, should be fine.

i have tried that but it keeps on saying there is no pit partition. Do you know where i could get the pit file?
you don't need to get complicated. just download an official firmware that is Odin compatible, and then install in odin (open is as PDA).
before that, shut down the phone (keep power pressed). restart in download mode (volume down, menu then power), with cable plugged out. you will go to the download screen. connect the cable, start odin... and there you are... (at least this is what I did with mine when I got stacked to the kies screen)

I will try that again and get back to you. I am downloading an official firmware now and will try that.

good luck!
and maybe, if that does not work, an forced update via kies might still do the job....

How do i do a forced update via kies? Kies does not recognise my phone when i have it connected. Should i try connecting the usb to the back of the computer rather than the front?

I don't know exactly what that would do.
You cannot flash another kernel, as there is none yet.
You need to be in download mode for kies to recognize (volume down, home, power). It should work to do Emergency firmware recovery in Tools.
Anyway, I am quite sure that running from Odin works. Have you tried to follow the steps I mentioned?

No still at work finish in 20 mins. I have tried all that yesterday but Odin still kept on saying no partition thing and kies I did the emergency firmware recovery but it did not connect to the phone. I will try again but this time connect the usb to the back of the computer.
Do not flash with re-partition only in an EXTREME case !

Repartition is supposedly going to wipe all data on your phone, but it's also a death button that makes you ODIN freeze and making your phone not boot up so proceed with extreme caution
It uses the .pit file to repartition the space the pit file holds how much to allocate to /system, /data. If you leave it blank and flash, it'll drop the files your flashing into the existing 'slots'. If you select the pit file and repartition, it'll reallocate.
Only select that if the instructions for your rom require you to do it.
Thanks it works. I put the usb lead at the back of my pc and installed the stock rom thanks for your help guys

I was supposed to unpack the tarfile from the zip, but since my computer decided to not recognize the zip and using the rar icon I thought it was the tar itself and flashed it only to realise my mistake as Odin said the flash failed. As of right now, every time I start my device, it says "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." and shows a picture that looks like *Phone**Triangle**Computer*.
Kies emergency recovery does not recognize the device.
Trying to start the phone in recovery mode takes me to the *Phone**Triangle**Computer*.
Download mode > Flashing a stock rom = fail (Yes, it's unpacked this time)
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
P.S. Now before anyone bothers to help me out here.. I know.. I'm an idiot, and anyone who takes his or her time to help out here is my hero for the rest of my life <3 D.S.

Alright, so I got a lot further this time.
I figured out how to get into Download mode again, suddenly I need to press and hold the combo a little while longer than I did before, or it will go to *phone**triangle**computer*.
I got the official firmware into PDA in Odin 3.07 this time around and connected my phone to the computer after I loaded PDA.
I then pressed start and VOILA!!! Thanks fellas!
You welcome enjoy

Sounds like a couple of things.
First go buy (or use) a brand new usb cable!
A buddy of mine was banning his head trying to connect recently and found his cable was for charging only. And I've had old usb cable s cause a world of frustration.
next uninstall the Samsung drivers and then reinstall them "as administrator".
then go find the full tar of the m f9 Rom not just the firmware but the full tar. its a zip extract it. open up Odin as administrator, put it in the PDA slot. then plug your device in and flash

Ok uninstall your old sammy driver and install the latest Sammy drivers 'as administrator'.
Make sure your phone is charged to at least 60%. Even if it doesn't turn on plug it in to the wall for a while and let it charge.
Don't connect it to PC yet.
HERE is the FULL system tar. All stock, kernel, recovery, ROM Modem.
Extract the zip and extract the .tar.md5.
Run Odin 'as administrator'. Place tar.md5 into PDA slot of Odin. Odin should look like this If you check on 'repartition or anything you are going to hose your phone...
With Odin open on your PC and your phone still not connected, put it into download mode - Simultaneously Press and Hold [Power][VolDn] until confirmation screen appears
Press [VolUp] to enter Download mode.
NOW plug your phone into the PC [Windows may install additional drivers; hopefully] and see if it shows up in any COM port (doesn't matter which one). If it shows up press start and let it finish. You should then have a stock MF9 working. First boot takes about 5 full earth minutes, let it go for even a little longer if necessary. If it doesn't boot after 10 earth minutes you may have to pulll the battery and then restart it but it should start.
You can then use the CF-Autoroot method to quickly root the phone. Then download goomanager and install a custom recovery and your off to the races.
Good luck.

one more silly thing to try.
After your phone is fairly well charged take out the battery for 1/2 hour or more even. I had some issues with other sammy's and doing that worked a few times; think it lets all the capicitors fully discharge on the device.
Put it back in the phone and go straight to download mode. Then start Odin and plug your phone in.
Also did you uninstall the old drivers, reboot, then install the new drivers and then reboot again before trying to connect?
I had this problem as well once. My cure was using Revo or some other advanced uninstaller to remove Samsung Kies, then I reinstalled the Samsung drivers.
However, that is only assuming that your problem is coming from your computer. Sounds like your phone's usb drivers got messed up during the flash. This seems somewhat reasonable to me, as I assume the USB drivers are in /system and the flash would disturb files there.
One other idea: be advised that Download Mode eventually times out. So, if you turn your phone on in Download Mode and leave it there for a while THEN connect it. Odin may not register it because your phone shuts off the download stream after a certain time of inactivity.
Hope this helps.
What are you guys using to unzip this image files, I downloaded like more than 10 stock files, every time I try to unzip them, it says the file is broken. I used 7zip, WinZip. My laptop has windows 7.
You should just have a .zip file that you flash via the recovery interface.

No, I'm talking about stock images that are in zip or rar files, that I need to unzip to get the the other tar.md5 files to odin, cause my phone is not working anymore. I think it might be my computer, or my internet connection. I don't know, I'm lost

NO just unzip the zip file.
Download the zip. extract the .tar.md5 file - it's a 2.10GB file after extraction named "L720VPUAMF9_L720SPTAMF9_L720VPUAMF9_HOME.tar.md5" .
Launch Odin 'as administrator' and put that ONE .tar.md5 file in the PDA slot.

I manually tried by pressing Volume up + Home+Power keys it was still doing bootloop. I tried to goto download mode by pressing Volume Down+ Home+Power keys it still kept bootlooping even USB jig didn't work. I need your valued suggestion about what to do next.
Thanks in Advance.

Just flash your firmware from Odin using a PC, I had a similar problem in my tablet, it didn't had download mode either and that worked, try it.
When I connect it to Pc it keeps bootlooping and pc gives sound of connecting then disconnecting of hardware.

Turn off your device, keep your finger in the button until the device is off or pull off the battery, connect it to the PC and flash your firmware through Odin, at that moment I used the 3.70 i think but you can use the latest version it's fine, that should install download mode and the whole firmware if that doesn't work I'm afraid I don't know how else I can help, that's what I did and it worked

You are right I did it the same way and it worked for me too. I actually was thinking the phone was quite dead bur or wasn't, I just flashed the recovery firmware 4.4.4 Russian and if you ask me food the step by step procedure it was just like this:
1. I started the Odin 3.07 and connected my device to see is it was detected or not, my surprise the Odin catch it, and shown added and the port number was 18.
2. I just pulled out the USB cable from my laptop and loaded the BL file only to just flash the bootloader file and see what would happen, I was trying it bcz I was totally disappointed with the device i.e. Grand Prime 530H Duos. I also noticed that my device was not stable even with that black screen it used to restart after almost five minutes in that case. And I knew that in 5 minute I will just be able to flash BL file. The BL file was loaded on the Odin now and I inserted the USB cable again while keeping the vol down button pressed to my laptop when the Odin again found and connected with my device, I didnot take any more time to flash BL file.
3. As soon as i had not flashed all the SW therefore, my device didn't boot properly, and I thought it didn't work but when my device was connected to the computer I just listened the startup tone of the Android 4.4.4. From that moment I knew my device was not dead now so i had to select all four files from the recovery firmware of 4.4.4 and connect the device to odin even there was no sign of download mode, as soon i clicked the Start button i saw many things in the Odin which were good enough to see. after the firmware flashed the device got started.

Is your USB cable original is it working on other devices? And are you using a USB 2.0 port, that is very much necessary, for Odin and some other hardware/software environment applications. And you also must have Samsung USB drivers installed in your PC, you can also try all this process on some other PCs

Hello!
Yes, that USB works with other phones. And even not being the original one, it was working to transfer files before this issue...
It is a USB 2.0 port, and even when I go to "Device Manage" on Windows, it doesn't show any port with an unknown device or something like that...
Thanks!
Hey all, new Android user here. I just rooted my device with no problems, but it dies and I recharge it, but it just goes to the "samsung" screen, and will vibrate 3 times quickly followed by another about 1/2-1 second later, then repeat every ~15-20 seconds. I am able to run it in ODIN (download) mode. I was told I need a new rom/firmware, can someone show me how to do this without ruining my device? I didn't save a backup because I assumed I would have no problems
I have had 0 problems before this, and even after root I didn't experience a problem.
Model: SM_G530T
FYI I am a mac user so have downloads be .dmg's.
Thanks in advance! If you need more info, tell me!

You'll find your stock firmware on samsung-firmware.org
It'll be tar.md5 format, perfectly normal.
Add it into the AP/PDA in Odin and it'll flash fine.

teach me how to upload to odin pls
Make sure all your drivers are installed, turn your phone off, plug the USB into the computer.
Start Odin (right click, properties, run as administrator and in xp compatability mode)
Put your phone into download ode (VOLUME UP, HOME, POWER)
Plug your phone into the computer. Odin will say "added" in it'd output box.
Press the button PDA or AP (depends on version) then select the firmware you just downloaded (tar or md5).
Once loaded into Odin, press start, it'll flash everything and then restart your phone.
Let me know if you need any more help!!
Edit:
Please ensure you are flashing the correct ROM for your phone. Bad firmware or recovery images can cause some bad problems.

(I got this https://samsung-firmware.org/downlo...obile)/400h/TMB/G530TUVU1AOF8/G530TTMB1AOF8/) Also remember that my phone can't turn on, gets stuck at the T-Mobile part.

Not that I'm aware of, but Google is your friend, friend.
Home + Volume Down + Power, that starts your phone in download mode which Odin uses to push software.
Your phone needs to be in download mode to do anything at all with Odin.
Also, why not just spin up a virtual machine and use the windows Odin, Windows is much better for all of this sort of stuff.
