FAIL Flashing stock 4.2.2

Ive been desperately trying to return to stock to unroot my phone for 2 days to no avail.
Holding the power button takes me to the Samsung bootloop.
I used Odin 1.85 to flash a HOME.tar.md5 file getting this message:
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/003> sbl2.mbn
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
In download mode it says the following:
ODIN MODE

Knox warranty void: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30 (have no idea what this is)
Write protection: Enable
eMMC Burst mode: enabled
START [224, 1440]
Any ideas?

Did you:
Use the cable that came with your device.
Use the usb ports in the back of your computer. Don't use a hub.
Try on a different computer.
Get firmware from sammobile.com
These are all things that you should check. Also, I've had Odin fail a number of times and the for whatever reason decide to work. It can be finicky.

I also found certain versions of Odin didn't work with some ROMS. When I tried using a 3.1x version of Odin to root my I9505G, it didn't setup properly, but using the 3.07 version did.

Yes I have tried all of those things. I also downloaded all the Odin versions and tried them. Unfortunately all of them failed. Is there any idea of what the failure in the original post means?

In the last fail the box on the bottom left side said "Leave CS" what does this mean?

Do you know what firmware you were on? And what country and carrier are you.

You mean now or before the root? And my country is Estonia which has no stock .tar file anywhere on the internet. I read somewhere that you can just use a random countrys one and change the csc later so I decided to do that.

Yes, before root.

I even tried re-partition. Still failed instantly.

Before root I was on the stock Android 4.2.2. The first time I flashed anything it was the new leaked 4.3 which worked just fine.
Then I flashed CM 10.1 and it worked but the problems started when I wanted to get back to stock.

I'm pretty sure it's the firmware version you're flashing that's the problem. If you know what it was before you rooted I'd look for the same version.

I have a similar problem
Hello there,
I have a similar problem but in odin it is a success but then i get stuck at boot.
To flash the file as a success, remove your device then flash again. By looking at your info, it says you have samsung knox which is a bummer (i'm in the same boat), you'll have to flash the same stock firmware as you did last time
Let me know how you get on mate

If Odin is successful but you get stuck at boot, do a factory reset in the stock recovery and it'll get you past the boot loop.

Would that delete my internal sd card folders etc?

What if I flash another recovery then try wiping?

What do you mean I have Samsung Knox? I dont know how to find the same stock firmware as I dont know what I exactly need. As in if I need the exact same as it was when I bought it then I probably wont have no luck because my countrys csc firmware is nowhere for download.

I just realised - Im probably a huge idiot - I just checked the store site from where I bought my phone and it says the OS version is 4.2 not 4.2.2. Im going to try that but does every site only has 4.2.2!

Accidentally deleted my System folder SGH-M919

Hello, I accidentally deleted my systems folder. I was trying to overwrite one file but apparently it deleted my entire system folder, now I cannot use recovery. If I try to go into recovery mode i get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
I tried downloading Kies and updating it through that but I then get the error "the device's version cannot be updated." I have updated KIES to the newest firmware and still get the error.
I have tried adb pushing but my device is unrecognized and does not fully connect to my computer (Kies will just be stuck at "Connecting...")
I have tried installing a stock rom back with odin (ran as administrator), but odin gives me the error:
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/003> sbl2.mbn

<ID:0/003> aboot.mbn
<ID:0/003> FAIL! (Auth)
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
So it seems I have tried pretty much everything so far with no avail, may someone please help me? I am really stressed out and confused at all these errors.

I managed to fix this! WOW was this such a headache!
after a long time researching, I found out the 4.4.2 update has some sort of updated bootloader that will not let you install older firmware. So I downloaded the 4.4.2 stock rom from www sammobile com
After you download that, i ran it with odin 1.09 and it installed.
My phone went into some weird loop where the samsung logo would come out for 1 second then my phone would vibrate every 2 seconds and not turn on... great another wall...
After more research i found out it could have been a power button issue, luckily it wasnt this, someone had mentioned that if you go into download mode and hold down the power button until your phone reboots you can get out of this "glitch". So this got me out of the glitch and my s4 started up normally!
Right now I am back to stock, I hope this helps out anyone who encounters something similar!

Hey I am also in a similar difficulty. > http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/help/help-firmware-upgrade-encountered-issue-t2821045
Basically read this above, and tell me what you think I should do. One thing I forgot to add is that when I try to flash a Official Firmware via ODIN, my S4 doesn't really do anything then ODIN would say FAILED, and it would have no affect on my S4 because it just stays on the firmware upgrade encountered an issue part.

[Q] secure chek fail : recovery, can´t flash anything

Hi guys I'm having problems trying to root my note 3, in fact i can't flash anything with odin.
It is a n900w8 from Telcel, with 4.4.2 stock rom.
I tried flashing to root it and tried to flash a custom recovery and nothing.
this is what odin shows:
<ID:0/009> recovery.img
<ID:0/009> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/009> FAIL! (Auth)
<ID:0/009>
<ID:0/009> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
and in the phone it shows in red letters : Secure check fail : recovery
I already checked the reactivation lock, and it isn´t checked.
Do you have an idea of what could it be?
If you need another info pleas tell me, i would appreciate any help thanks

1. Reinstall the Samsung's drivers.
2. Try other USB cable/port.
3. Take a look if you are flashing the latest firmware for your device. Latest is: HERE.

Hi!
I have a Galaxy S4 i9505 - I bought the phone on a tesco contract so i am assuming the ROM would be the 02 one as they own tesco and i get the option between O2 PAY Monthly, 02 Pay As You GO and TESCO.
I'm trying to flash the 02 ROM (I9505XXUBMF8_I9505O2UBMG1_I9505XXUBMF8_HOME.tar)
I have tried using ODIN v1.85 and v3.09 but neither work

Hi mate ,
When i mention what stock rom i mean version number not from who ( carrier) aboot.mbn is the bootloader , if you try to flash a older bootloader than the one you have it will give you an error ( odin will not let you downgrade) , is that the latest stock rom for your phone/ carrier?
Just in case check that:
Odin troubleshooting: If Odin accidentally gives you "fail" try the following:
- Repeat procedure.
- Make sure that all actions of Kies are disabled from task manager.
- Change usb port.
- Try another usb cable (make sure it is the original).
- Try another Odin version.
- Uninstall and re-install driver.
- Use pit file.
- Try another computer.

Hi
You can use a stock 4.2.2 as long as you have a 4.2.2 bootloader that should be no problem , yes you can always upgrade (4.4.2)

SM-N9005 recovery/root problems

Hello guys, I've tried to flash a CWM recovery on my SM-N9005 via Odin v3.07 and I always have a problem with that.. I run my phone in download mode, connect it to my laptop, and try to flash but this is the result in Odin log:
<ID:0/006> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/006> FAIL! (Auth)
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
And result on my phone in download mode is:
Error: Secure Check Fail : aboot
I had the same problem when I try to root this phone with Odin, I dont know what to do with that and I'm thinking that you can help me
I know that my English is not very good but you have to understand that because I'm from Poland and I'm still learning it

When you are in Odin do you see that it actually shows that there's a successful connection? I mean look at the white status box at left hand side, does it say 'connected'?
