Do you have the Kies drivers installed?
Are you in downloadmode?
Turned on usb debugging on your phone in developer options?
Is Kies closed, also in windows task manager?
Tried another usb port or the original usb cable?

Plug into a different USB port and try to flash again.
Installing the required USB drivers might help too.

Yes, but if he's windows user , it downloads itself the drivers.

That depends on the version of Windows he's running.
Not to mention sometimes Windows doesn't download the right drivers anyways. Realistically for someone who doesn't intend to use ADB the easiest way to get working drivers is to simply install the latest version of kies, connect to it and let it recognize the device, then tell it to install drivers. It will usually say it already did but tell to do it again anyways. This will almost invariably get most devices recognized correctly by windows and functioning USB.
i had the same problem around 10 times and i always just pulled the bettery (after whatever i was installing on it had stopped attempting to access the device.) still works fine

phone seems bricked

hi my mate has and s4 9505 and he wiped the hole phone like a noob and it wont enter recovery and in odin nothing will flash tried pit file and also stockrom it either gets stuck on setting up connection or stuck on pit mapping part tried adb devices command but its not picking up the devices the drivers will be on his comp as he has all ready flashed things via odin before on the s4 any ideas people cheers

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.​

no such luck for us and that the other thing didnt work either :/
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.

ok thanks will try it on mine 2 moz cheers
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

Unbrick soft bricked s4 9505 CM 13 HELP

I'm having a terrible issue with my phone, I was using latest cyanogenmod 13 rom and tried to revert to the stock rom but somehow the process didn't work and now my phone can't boot. It just shows a message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again".
I've already tried to the kies method without success.
I still have odin mode, but I can't flash anything with odin, it simply report a write error.
Trying to figure some other way to flash a rom or recovery, maybe via sd card... pls help

Odin or Heimdall are the only options.
Have you tried different Odin versions, different USB ports and different USB cables (preferably Samsung original cable)?
Do you the drivers installed and did you stop kies before running Odin?

Yes, I've tried at least 3 version and 2 different usb ports, however I'm not using the original cable...
I have kies installed with the proper drivers and I never run odin with kies on the background. Do I have to stop any kies's service to stop it completely?
Everything kies related has to be stopped.
And I recommend trying to get a Samsung cable. It appears the S4 is kinda sensitive in this way.

How to use odin with original charging cable samsung gt p5110?

If I remember correctly, unusual kies but it should leave the drivers Odin needs.

You may need a new cable, well-used ones don't connect good enough. This issue happened to me, it's common.
More importantly you should refer to this thread, it's the best I've found.

If possible, use a USB 2.0 port instead of USB 3.
