Hi,

I want du make a Upgrade to XXUMBJ3 from XXUMBJ1 with Odin 3.07.
The Flash works up to "hidden.img.ext4" then came the Error from ODIN: FAIL! (Size)
I have referred the firmware from different sources but the error remained.
The i want to flash the old Firmware MJ1 but this have a Error, too.

With Kies Emergency Firmware Recovery i have the same problem.
The Counters are all of 0
Please Help me

This means you are trying to flash a older firmware, Samsung does not allow for you to downgrade the bootloader.
You to need find a MJ3 firmware for your phone.

Thx for answer, but the problem is when i flash the MJ3 i have the error "Fail! (Size)" by flash the hidden.img.ext4

Bricked Samsung Galaxy S4 VE (GT-I9515)

Hi Guys,
A friend of mine brought me a Samsung S4 GT-I9515 to see if I could make it work again. He says that suddenly the phone just didn't boot, it just got stuck in Logo screen.
I've tried to enter the Hard Reset menu, but it only says "Recovery Booting..." and that's it.
I can access the Download mode, and with it, I've tried the following :
Using ODIN 3.10 > Flashed an official lollipop ROM
Flashed an official kitkat ROM
Using KIES > Used the recovery mode
In all cases the process finishes, but the phone never boots.
Donwload info, in case it helps :
ODIN MODE
Product name : GT-I9515
Current Binary : Samsung Official
System Status : Official
KNOX Kernel Lock : 0x0
KNOX Warranty Void : 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB : 0x30
Write Protection : Enable
EMMC Burst mode : enabled
Thank you in advance for your help!

This seems to be quite a weird problem.
Try finding the .pit file for the I9515 and flash the PIT file with the firmware.
It may be hard though, since there's barely any support for the I9515.

Thank you for the tip. I'll try to get this done and get back to you.

Probably a hardware failure.

Really ? What kind of hardware failure, any idea?

I had the same issue a few months back.
I solved it by flashing the .pit file and a custom recovery with advanced wipe options (went with TWRP).

If you know how Odin works, then flash latest stock rom with .pit and re-partition.
Then only use the latest TWRP. The rest is outdated.

- What does it say your model is when booted into download mode? What version of TWRP are you using?
- The roms should just work with TWRP. Try flashing the rom in my signature.

@yahya wessam: Look at post 3. The OP already tried that and it didn't work.

GT-I9500 Flashed with wrong firmware variant

Hi All
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 which was running on Kitkat, and I've decided to manually update to Lollipop using Odin yesterday. Unfortunately because of my stupidity, I used a firmware for the GT-I9505. My phone worked still but the wifi won't turn on, after several attempts to fix the wifi issue from my research, I decided to try to use flash using the GT-I9500 firmwares. Now my phone is stuck on the "Samsung GALAXY S4" logo.
-My phone can go to Download and Recovery mode.
-Tried to wipe cache partition as well as wipe data/factory reset several times
-Tried to flash I9500XXUBMEA_I9500ODDBMEA_I9500DDUBMEA_HOME.tar.md5 but getting NAND Write Start Fail error
-Tried to flash I9500XXUBMEA_I9500ODDBMEA_I9500DDUBMEA_HOME.tar.md5 and adding pit files I got from other threads (Adonis and JA3G_EUR_OPEN) but getting a Re-partition operation failed error
-Tried other versions of Odin from Odin3_v3.10.7 to Odin3_v1.3 with same errors
I'm at my wits end. Please help/guide me fix my phone.
Thanks

How can it boot with a firmware that isn't made for that model, but not boot with firmware made for it?
Are you sure it is a I9500? What model is displayed in download mode?
And if you flash the I9505 rom again, does it boot?

I'm not really sure why my phone worked with I9505 firmware but the sticker in the battery bay shows I9500
I just tried to flash using I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7 and it boots although WIFI is still not turning on so I'm back to square one.
BTW I just used the AP file from the zip.
Thanks.
Any ideas to on how to fix my wifi?

Forget the damn sticker and whatever is written on the box.
What model does download mode say it is?
Cuz I'm pretty sure it's some kind of I9505 model.

if it is a I9500 you can flash modems (NON-hlos) via odin or recovery

As I suspected.
SGH-M919N = I9505 from Metro PCS.
So it's basically a I9505, not a I9500.
That's also the reason why it boots with I9505 firmware, because they have the same hardware.
Now you just have to find the firmware specific to the SGH-M919N model. This should fix the WiFi issue, hopefully.

SM-G530H/DV bricked? Cannot re-install stock firmware, No PIT partition.

I have 2 Galaxy Grand Prime Duos. One is working which has the model SM-G530/DS, the second one isn't working which has the model of SM-G530H/DV.
The SM-G530H/DV model is bricked, I think, because it only shows the 1st Samsung intro and doesn't then it's just stuck there until it turns off on its own and its battery is also dead.
I've tried to reinstall a stock firmware of the latest firmware 5.0.2 using ODIN 3.10 but it always fail mostly saying "There is no PIT partition.".
I've tried to download .pit files for G530H but it doesn't work either.
I tried to extract a .pit file from my working SM-G530H/DS but I can't seem to find the .pit file even though it says extraction successful.
Can someone give me the .pit file for SM-G530/DV model???
Here's what it says on the Download Mode:
MMC: mmc_write fail
SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT
ODIN : flash read failure
