[Q] Help, wont boot after bad flash - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, yesterday i installed TWRP on my I9505 and I also installed cm 10.1 and it work well, I used it all day today. When i got home i saw that there was a new version of cm so i wanted to update. When i flashed it in twrp i got some error messages, i think it said it couldnt mount /system, I was stupid enough to not write it down. I had to pull the battery to restart and when i rebooted i got the "Firmware upgrade en****ered an issue" message with the triangle.
After this I tried to change recovery with odin to try and flash again but that didnt work and i cant get in to a recovery now. I can get the phone to download mode and odin can see that i plug in the phone. I tried to flash the stock recovery but I get the failed message in Odin. I have also tride to do a reset in Kies but that too failed.
Is there something i can do to save my new phone or did I mess it up permanetly? I was clinging to the hope that if i can get to download mode it can be saved but i dont know.
Any help is greatly appriciated

No i havent. Is the pit file included in the firmware? And do you mean flash fw in odin? Sry if this is a stupid question.

Ok i downloaded the pit file and started downloading fw from samfirmware, it will take a while it looks like. So just to confirm. First i try to flash the FW in PDA in ODIN and if that works it dont need to flash the pit file? If it dosent work i flash the pit file in pit in odin and the the fw?
Thank you very much for helping me.

yes. (unzip to get the .pit). dont flash pit file alone! but with firmware.
at the first time, when you flash only firmware in pda, dont mark re-partition

The download isnt finished yet, its very slow. I will try just the fw first and let you know. If that dosent work ill try it with the pit file.

if the phone enter in bootloop after flashing, wipe data and cache from recovery and reboot

Is there something else I can try? Is it possible that this could be something wrong with the hardware?

Try to change usb port
Use original cable
Disable kies from task manager
Be sure that you downloaded fw for i9505 and it is not corrupted

Error Firmware

Hello,
I downloaded the latest firmware for P6800 "P6800XXLB4 3.2 P6800XEFLC1 France February 2012"
I made a flash with odin and now I have an error message
"Encountered year after firmware upgrade, please select kies in recovery mode and try again".
With odin I always "Failed" ...
how do I do now?
Best regard
Press and hold the Volume UP+Power button until a recovery mode screen appears, and do wipe data/factory reset

Thank you for your response!
But I can not, if I do this I get the firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies and try again or volume down mode Odin that's all.

You shouldn't have to do a factory reset when flashing with odin. Odin wipes the whole drive and flashes from scratch-- it may not wipe the partition table or individual partitions, but it at least reformats each partition as if it were new. I'd recommend rolling back to your original firmware.

Hello all,
I added a screen dump. First time I tried to flash with the update in the CSC option... I downloaded the file and the G6800 Odin package from Sammobile. Before to go to sleep quickly tried to upgrade but then I messed things up.
I tried various modes. Can someone help me?
Thanks!
Please try to read the instructions for Odin...

If it's already been written and it's not the right one you'll need to find a valid pit file for your model of Tab (P6800 or P6810) to fix it. You'll have to search for it though, I don't know where to find them.
solution
I have this problem yesterday, so I work out via google search.
After a while I discovered that I had used a wrong PIT file ... So the correct downloaded flashed and ready
See attachment for the right PIT
Thanks for the solution!

Man I hit the same issue. Got stuck in the kies recovery screen while upgrading to ICS.
Can someone please provide clear instructions getting out of that? Thank you so much!
Note: download mode and flashing through odin does not get me further than factorfs. =_=
CRAP. Now my battery died. Won't even charge or turn on.

See my post about the pit file :cyclops:
And you must have your tablet at least for 10 min on your charger before you can turn on or you can see he is charging

I also experienced the error when doing the update to ICS recently and spent long hours trying to figure out and checking forums.
I tried the PIT file attached by "CL 1977" and it worked like a charm. :good:

The end of my S4? (Brick/dead) - Help..

Hi guys, long time lurker here anyway i've always flashed my S4 with odin and not a single problem always flashed STOCK firmwares
but today i recently discovered a new firmware on the list for the GT-I9500 Exynos Octa (version) - this firmware to be in fact I9500ZNUCMI1
but now its bombed... it hanged and hanged at booting for 20 min then it shut it self off turned it back on 'the firmware encounter a problem' message popped up... i cannot go into recovery mode AT ALL (just download mode) so i thought i will flash my previous stock firmware known as I9500XXUBMG9 but now i cant even do that..... odin just gives me a god damn fail - FOR THE LOVE OF ANDROID HELP ME
- Kies is not running in the background
- USB connections are fine
- Cables are fine
So do i have to fear this is the end ? lol i cannot believe this happened to me on a STOCK firmware.... (lucky for me... all my stuff is backed up on sd)
Any help would be greatly appreciated

If you can get into Download mode, all hope is not lost. Uninstall and resinstall drivers, Odin, etc. reboot.
Odin back to stock, immediately boot into stock recovery, wipe data, reboot.
Done.

The good news is that Download mode is still working. AS long as that's the case, you can get it back. Just keep trying. Switch PCs, switch cables, switch ports, re download a different stock ROM, etc. do whatever it takes to try every variable you can think of.
Eventually, you'll find what's causing it and the ROM will flash successfully. When that happens, get immediately into recovery and wipe data.
(Remove the battery after it flashes, but it back in and hold vol-up+home+power.)
After the data wipe....
Reboot.
Like I said, Download mode means you can find a way to flash, but working with Odin to resolve these issues can sometimes be a PITA. I've had the same thing myself before. Just don't give up. Try to stay calm, and work your way through it. You'll get it eventually.
Edit: Just noticed that you flashed a CHINA firmware. (Why? ) You may be facing this issue because (I think) they use a different pit. There's a thread devoted to resurrecting the device with pit. Maybe check it out.

yes, make sure that you are using the right pit, put it in "pit" window in odin, and the firmware in "pda", make sure "re-partition" is ticked, start.

Thank you for explaining all you're issues
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628
this should fix you up, take a deep breath and relax, this is NOTHING
you need to download Odin 3.07 and the MDL firmware from samsung updates or sammobile
Open odin 3.07
check off pda and press the button to insert the .tar you just downloaded (dont touch anything else)
flash
reboot and keep you're phone off WIFI so you don't OTA on the stock ROM
hope this helps my friend, while you're firmware downloads I suggest studying a bit more and learning what you can
Thank you, in the future, would you recommend I use CASUAL or Motochopper? Also, should I install a recovery partition that factory touchwiz or a custom rom?

I think the problem might have been that I downloaded the wrong firmware.
You said get the "MDL firmware from samsung updates or sammobile".
On the thread you linked to, it was the MDL firmware for an m1919 device and I have an i337 device.
Where can I find the i337 MDL firmware? What site do you mean when you say "samsung updates" or "sammobile"?
Thanks for your help, this is really confusing.

Here is a link for the I337 MDL Firmware.. You sure are lucky that you got the MDL..If you had got the new MF3, you couldn't flash custom roms without Safestrap.. Anyways, there is the link, hope it helps you.. After downloading it, unzip it and use the .tar file you see..

Thank you, right now when I turn on the phone it is stuck at the samsung galaxy s black screen and the only way I can turn it off is to remove the battery. If I use the instructions on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628, but using the file you mentioned with Odin, it should restore the phone? Does it remove TWRP too?

If you just used odin, boot into recovery and do a factory reset. It should get you past a boot loop. If you use Odin it will remove twrp and put on the factory recovery.

[Q] 4.4 Update via Odin Fail, Phone Bricked

I tried to install the 4.4.2 N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_N9005XXUENA2 update on my Note 3 via odin 3.09.
Got an ext4 update failed error.
After this, the phone's bricked and is stuck on the Kies Recovery Screen. I tried to go into recovery mode in Kies, but it says this model does not have initialization.
I tried installing a 4.3 N9005XXUDMK3_N9005TNLDMK1_N9005XXUDMK2, but again failed. Download mode shows SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] Fused 3 > Binary 2
Can someone please guide me to unbrick my phone?
I don't know what ROM I was on initially. It was the stock ROM that came with the phone.
I dont have CWM and TWRM installed.
This is not a brick at all. Just add a .pit file and restart the upgrade via Odin again.
You should be fine.

Thank you for that advice. How do I add a .pit file, and would you happen to have a link where I can download it from?

I tried a variety of N9005 .pits and each time, it shows PIT FAIL: TOTAL SECTORS (30777344) :crying:
(Read OP) . Try flashing the polish firmware again with odin v1.85 and try using different usb ports. Close most of your running applications such as firefox skype etc that can interrupt the process and flash official firmware.

You won't be able to downgrade back to 4.3 - Use the PDA slot on ODIN and try flashing again.

Solution
I also have Hong Kong N9005 32GB with N9005XXUBMI5 PDA, tried to flash 4.4.2 with Odin and stuck at "invalid ext4 image", was't able to flash anything after it.
But after 16 hours I finally found a solution:
1. Get leaked Polish ROM (that one with 4 files, do not use the official - it has one file rom)
2. Extract archive
3. Extract "CSC_OXX_N9005OXXENA5_327209_REV03_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar" and get your pitfile - HLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit
4. Flash your phone with this pitfile and other 4 files from archive (I used Odin 3.09) with repartitioning enabled.
After this procedure I have fully working android 4.4 :victory:

Hi,
Try with different cables, PCs, or put files in BL. And make sure you're not on Chinese Pit.

Already tried mentioned method. Except Chinese pit. How to check that? And i think Chinese pit change can be issue because this happened after i flashed the first Chinese lollipop rom when it was officially launch for Chinese.
Can you guide me through this and help me?
Thank u so much.
Get an International pit arround XDA or use SamFirm with "Binary Nature" checked and flash it along firmware with Odin.
If you use SamFirm method, you'll have 4 files (Pit is inside CSC tar.md5). Put these 4 files on Odin and tick Re-partition.

But now facing new problem. My phone is slow and random hangs and go into deep sleep and only option to come out of it is reboot.
So y this is happening? Is adonis.pit international version? or do i need to find other pit file?
Please help.

Hi. I tried every thing. But still the deep sleep, random hangs and slow working of phone continues on lolipop rom.
This all started when i tried to flash some miui rom and i not able to flash as i think it was not for my i9500. After that i again flashed aurora v4.0 but started facing deep sleep, and slow working issue. Then i tried flashing ozcan kitkat rom and the again all become normal.
So basically my phone is not working good at lolipop rom (earlier it worked great) and works good in kk rom (ozcan).
So can you suggest what can be done? or how could i locate the problem and rectified it.
I don't have any idea for this.
I loved CM-based ROM and I would stay on it as long as it doesn't have any major bugs.
For MIUI by gtbluesky, use CWM. Or you can remove 'assert' word on first paragraph until 'abort{This is for ja3g...}' on updater-script file.
