Tried this one already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41267669&postcount=96
But on phone says, security check fail...

Hi,
Have you find a solution ? I have the same issue

hi,
i have the same issue, wi-fi is not permitted to open, i tried everything, i cannot repartition with the pit file i find all over the internet, is there any other pit file? does it matter which PIT file i use?
I found that my phone has a unusual firmware (I9505XXUAMD7) i guess it is from Korea, i am downloading the originl one now and i will try to flash it, but i am already not sure it will work.

I have the same issue, flash failed at modem.bin part, tried mobile odin, does not work. I'm stucked

same here, I'm trying everything but no way
When I click start it say "fail" immediately
If I try to power on the phone it show "“Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“
Tried with Kies, impossible

MJ3 has new bootloaders that can't be regressed... Flash MJ3 back on your phone and iot should boot up fine but any attempt to root will trigger the warranty void flag....

I made a backup of mj1. Then mj4 was released and like the idiot I am I accepted it. Not my restore doesn't work and titanium is giving me hell(won't install half of what I ask). I have 4 years of catch notes that i have absolutely no access too. There has to be a way to downgrade.

Nope isn't possible

You're probably right. But are you sure he's not on mdl firmware? It would really suck if he is and he updated to nb1
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

True, I guess he can just restore to MDL firmware...
He was in the middle of a update so I was just assuming that the BL is already locked

i don't remember the firmware. it was rooted with towelroot. it gets stucked with the screen that says downloading, do not turn off. no loading bar.

Just do a factory restore with odin... You will loose all your data! But I dont see any other way unless you have a unlocked bl and a custom recovery.

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

KNOX Kernel Lock : 0x0
KNOX Warranty Void : 0x0

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).

need more information than that.
ok..
have you installed stock rom via ODIN from fresh ? or just trying to recover what is installed on the phone ?
if NOT odin then you need to flash stock rom again via odin and test again.
if YES then may be, may be it is hardware related (last option to consider).
BUT you need to do the steps above. then we can only reach on a proper solution.

probably a corrupted partition due to some error.
try getting a .PIT file for N9005,
and flash it via odin along with stock rom.
1. search google -- there are various PIT files on SamMobile. Download the N9005 hlte BTU version.
2. here is another link for you

change cables. (may be cable is somehow not working properly.)
use updated ODIN version. ( you are using old version)
use this PIT file. this is TGY version. (Android 5.0)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67773525&postcount=16
after then flash stock firmware. (preferably TGY one.)
if nothing works even now... then your mmc chip is corrupted and need to be replaced. the chip only if you can or the whole motherboard.
there is no harm in trying anything now, to revive it. so just do everything. don't lose hope. may be it will work.

i tried that and the same error , so i guess then it's the emmc chip . but i still want to know the cause of it's death . do you have any idea ?!

hmm..
that i don't know yet.
but in my opinion, if the emmc chip/motherboard is dead/corrupted/broken then it should not be detected by odin at all.
if it is being detected then it can be survived. but hey it is just an hypothesis.
imo the partition corruption chances are high like 85-95%. that can be repaired by available PIT file.
but i don't know any further than that.
and btw you didn't mentioned how it got corrupted ?
