Stuck at "pit for mapping" - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Tried all drivers out there, uninstall then install, install kies then reinstall. Odin finds my phone both in debug and in download mode.
Was able to root it using win 7 a week ago, but now im on crappy pc with win xp. Only have 2 usb ports, tried both.
Im trying to install a recovery, but no good using i9505
Any tips?

[Q] Soft Brick

I've searched all over the posts and google and have yet to find a solution. I am a MAC user and trying to restore fascinate. I am stuck at Samsung screen. I can get into Clockwork Mod Voodoo.
When i did my last backup I never enabled USB Debugging. I can not ./adb into device, nor can I use ODIN on friends PC. (No Device) Same result with Heimdal "Failed to detect Device" I would just like to get back to stock. Is there a step by step guide to recover similar to ODIN get you back to stock but for a MAC. Or since i never enabled Debug mode I should just use my warranty?
When you tried Odin, did you have the battery out and put the phone in download mode?

Yes, I did see the Yellow triangle Droid character w/ shovel
So, battery out and in download mode, Odin doesn't recognize? Hm

I feel because I never enabled debug mode originally.
Does it recognize the phone at all? Maybe the drivers need to be updated

Morning, I'm attempting to resolve the same issue. I have the "Yellow Shovel" Andy but I can't get Odin to recognize the device.
The device was fine and Odin was working last night, however I do believe I did something ridiculous last night. I tried flashing my phone with a Nexus S rom and succeeded. HOWEVER, the only buttons that are recognized are the "Home" and "Menu" soft keys.
I can boot into the 2.3 Nexus S rom but I can't get the hardware to recognize anymore.
UPDATE: I managed to get the USB to recognize. I'm not completely sure how, it just started recognizing it after fidgeting with the cable. I'm not flashing it back to stock using ODIN and the following post.

UPDATE: The link above worked. I recommend using the stock USB cable that comes with the phone. Now that it's back.. I'm curious to know what I would have to change for 2.3 to work.. hm..

Come to think of it I did update the drivers on my friends PC but there was an error installing drivers. He had a Windows XP 32bit device (Did install the 32bit drivers X86) Im going to try my other buddies PC he has Vista should that make a difference?

Help: PC Odin Does Not Detect Note in Download Mode

PC Odin does not detect my Note in download mode and I think I may have a problem with the Windows 7 64-bit USB drivers.
When I connect the Note to my PC it automatically tries to install the Note drivers but fails to install MTP (see attached picture).
I've installed the drivers using Kies but that does not help.
I've googled for a solution but cannot find one. Does anyone here know the answer?
Many Thanks

download kies from samsung for win, install in yr pc, it will install the drivers. of cos u can find and install the drivers separately but in view u post a simple question here, i doubt that will be easy path for you.

Thanks for your reply. I've run Kies which installed the drivers but I still get the error shown in the attached thumbnail. I haven't tried installing the drivers manually because I don't know how to do that.
I've just tried updating Kies and using it to install Windows USB drivers and now I don't get an error when connecting Note to PC (see attached thumbnail) but Odin still cannot see Note in download mode.

Re-install odin or find another version of it.
In case still no luck, then try this tool from Adam Outler:

Thanks for your reply. It seems I have two solutions available and that is to try installing my original UK ROM over my German ROM in recovery mode. Or changing the CSC to match the German ROM to see if that helps. What do people think?
Just need to be careful about unsafe ICS kernel which they have warned in the sticky threads.
Also make sure kies isn't running when you try Odin, might be hogging the connection.

also try to use other usb port.
Thanks for all the replies. I have changed my UK CRC code to Germany ODT to match my XXLPY German ROM and I can now use Kies for updating firmware. But I still cannot get PC Odin to detect my Note and I so will continue to look for a solution for that problem.
I am still investigating why Odin does not detect my Note and one reason often suggested is bad Note drivers. So I connected my Note to the PC and then opened "Devices and Printers" in the Windows control panel where there was a Note icon. I right-clicked on the icon to get the properties and I attach thumbnails of drivers which show the drivers details and say the drivers are working normally.
I'm using 64bit Windows 7 and I would be grateful if someone could compare their drivers information with mine to see if there is any difference.
Since you wrote kies detects your phone, it is related to drivers.
German/Uk firmware/CSC is not the reason.
When I connected my phone in download mode for the first time, my PC and Netbook installed additional drivers automatically (not from windows updates).
As I wrote in your other thread SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe is all you need to install to get necessary drivers.
Copy it to your desktop and get rid of kies.
Reboot and install SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe
Reboot again.
It should work fine.
Just a hint - make sure you're using USB1.0/2.0 port. No idea about your port, but for me anything flashing related via USB3.0 always fails.
I have finally managed to flash the UK ROM on my Note and I wanted to change the CSC code from the German one ODT to the UK one but when I try there is only one chice and that is ODT. How can I get a list of choices which includes the UK CSC?

phone seems bricked

Try that:
You can use this software to repair Your dead Samsung i9505 and similar (m919, i337, L720 etc)
Note, You need to install QHUSB Qualcomm drivers first.
After flashing with this software, You need to flash phone with official firmware and PIT file, otherwise phone will be dead again, and You'll need to repeat the process.
If You get errors reported by this software (command prompt window), You'll have to replace the eMMC chip first.​

Did you install the drivers for the phone?
Did u put phone in download mode and flash with odin?
If so, trying closing all kies process, changing usb port and run odin with admin. Flash pit file and stock firmware.

What odin version are u using? Are u sure you have properly installed kies or drivers? The latest kies version? Try disabling antivirus and installing latest kies.
tried with odin 1.85 3.04 and 3.07 and yea latest kies i uninstalled antivirus to be on safe side as i no it can conflict with odin and stuff
The problems you are having are purely driver issues. Try flashing the phone on another computer.

Let us know if it worked
Try a different data cable it worked for me
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
Well I've had some problems too today and there a couple of things you might want to try (I'm sure one of them will fix it):
- Pick a different USB port (preferably one in the back)
- Try a different USB cable (I used one from my Nexus 7, didn't work. Tried with the original S4 cable, worked)
- Uninstall Kies and the Samsung drivers from you control panel -> programs
- Download the Samsung USB Drivers again (google it) (do not install them yet)
- Download and install USB Deview (google it) and delete every driver of Samsung you come across in the list (just right click and click delete)
- Disable your internet access and reboot
- After rebooting install the Samsung Drivers (without an internet connection)
- Plug in your phone after you've installed the drivers and enable USB Debugging
- Reboot
- Enable your internet connection again
- Try to flash again in Odin (it should work now)
If this won't work, I don't know what will. A different USB port, cable, fresh/original drivers (not the ones Windows Update may try to install for you), etc is probably what you'll need to get it working.
thanks for every ones help we installed a fresh copy of windows 7 and installed every thing again and it worked fine defo must of been driver related :laugh:
Cheers now flash away like there's no tomorrow

[Q] Stuck in Download Mode

I have a G360P Boost Mobile version. I rooted the phone using Kingoroot and things were working great.
I rebooted the phone at one point and now the phone only boots in Download Mode.
It doesn't seem to be recognized by Odin or by Kies either.
Any ideas?
***EDIT***
More Info, I'm using Windows 7 x64
I tried ODIN v3.09 and then v1.85 and Kies v3
I have tried multiple USB cables in multiple ports.
Just for future reference I was able to exit download mode by disconnecting USB cable and holding down the power button for 10 secs.

honestly like someone mentioned here install the samsung drivers for your phone. I had the same problem, it not being detected until I did that. As far as the rebooting go back to stock. Flash the stock image with odin, or remove root and hard reset the phone using recovery. Hope that helps.
I guess I had assumed that when I installed Kies that the correct drivers would have already been installed. I downloaded the drivers from the Samsung Website HERE and was able to flash the stock firmware via ODIN. From that point I was able to boot up and install system updates. Thanks you two for the help.

I googled for a bit and didn't find much other. The results suggested it was a Tracfone model. If that's true I've always had problems finding firmware for Tracfone models, but have sometimes managed to get away with using a firmware from a similar model.
Samsung 820L Product Page (No downloads here )
Phones that may have similar firmware???
If you run out of options I would suggest trying Kies - may not hurt at that point.

I tried to root using odin nowim stuck in download mode and it wont connect to my laptop ive download drivers kies odin PLZZZZ HELP!!!
Get Odin to recognize your phone
Try powering off your phone with it plugged into your computer then use the button command for download mode again that helped me......
I'm having an issue and I think it's because I've flashed to many files
I can't get my galaxy core prime sm-s820l to accept any flashed Roms stock or custom I've even tried twrp and stock recovery
The only thing I can access is download mode and most of the time it won't connect to Odin I can get it to connect using the method above. Someone please help
I have minor experience with Odin and Roms I've been playing around with my infuse 4g for a while

Failed to root; Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) (ANDROID LOLLIPOP 5.0.1)

Its been a month I am trying to root my Samsung Galaxy S4, running Android Lollipop (5.0.1) and model GT-I9505.
As we all know there are only two methods to root a phone. I tried USB method first, but a great annoying thing that is the phone is not being connected to my PC. I tried all USB ports, and at least 4 data cables, but failed.
The second method I used but failed too!
Towelroot gives error: This phone is currently not supported
KingRoot: root unavailable, submit a root request.
KingoRoot: root failed, try PC version.
what I should do now?

Yeah! It's not being recognized!
I have Odin3 v1.85
I've always had good luck with Odin 3.07: http://www.downloadodin.info/download-odin-3-07
This also, didn't worked for me!
(There is something like "WRITE PROTECTED MOD ENABLED" in Odin Downloading Mode! What does that mean?)
The phone is not recognized in Odin or Windows Device Manager?
Does Windows start installing drivers when the phone is connected to the computer?

No! The phone is not being recognized not being installing drivers!
But thank you so much for all you listened to me!
I got the root access using different version of KingRoot!
Thank you again audit13!
Glad you got it working
If Windows and Odin don't recognize the phone and doesn't start to install the drivers, maybe something is wrong with the phone's USB port?

I think you have to install the Official Samsung USB Drivers on your PC if you're rooting on the PC method. If you already have those then I don't know what could be wrong? As @audit13 said maybe there's something wrong with the USB port. Anyways, glad you got it working!
