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

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?

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.

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 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!

big problem

My phone fall down on the ground from my pocket and after that its like dead cannot enter bootloader recovery except when i conect it to pc.
when i connect it to pc and i try to enter recovery i get message "recovery is not seandroid enforcing i9505" and phone is restarting. only thing i can do is entering download mode and thats all how can i fix this thank you.

you need to find the stock files for you device and flash via odin, theres plenty guides of how to use odin, once you have the files its pretty easy, what software was it running originally? 4.2.2? or 4.3?

hey there mate , your having a problem flashing that file because its a 4.2.2 rom and you already have a newbootloader which mean Not possible to downgrade when you have Knox Warranty Void. and you can check this threadto know more about KNOX, so Download and Flash a 4.3 base in your country and you should be fine.Have a nice day.
Edit: You can download a Official rom from here base from your country.

I337UCUFNC1 for Odin?

Hello guys... I was given a phone that I can keep and use if I fix it, but this phone is stuck on the open padlock/custom logo just stays there (if I try to go to recovery it says AT&T found unauthorized software). I fixed that by flashing stock NC1 Recovery but that only eliminated the unauthorized software message. I have read every thread and tried everything... Even flashed NC1 Modem and Kernel also since I found them... Only thing I have yet to try is flash a full I337UCUFNC1 via Odin but cant find it (At least not free). It seems this phone will only take NC1 stuff. Any help on getting the full I337UCUFNC1 Rom for Odin will be appreciated. I have the zip version but that does not work form DL mode...
More info:
Galaxy S4 i337
Binary: Official
System Status: Custom
Knox void: 0x1
CSB-Config-LSB: 0x30
Write protection: Enabled
eMMC Burst Mode: Enabled

You can Odin flash NB1. That will work even on NC1.

Two brand new original cables, brand new usb/charging connector (Tried connector in another i337 and works fine), all usb ports tried on both pc's. It starts flashing then after a while I hear the usb disconnect and reconnect sound and Fail. I can flash nc1 modem, kernel and recovery all day without problems that gets me out of the Kies screen but no recovery either It gets stuck at the "Custom" logo with the "Recovery booting" on top left. if I flash a custom recovery i get the AT&T unauthorized software message. I'm writing this thread because I read and read and read and can't find a solution. Tried Odin 1.85, 3.07 and 3.09 all with same results. I was thinking maybe if I flash a full NC1 rom for Odin I can get it to work since all NC1 stuff flashes ok.

Downloaded from 3 diff places...

The only way I can get the progress bar to reach at least 98% is if I discharge the phone by briefly connecting the battery backwards (1-2 seconds). I have tried the NB1 file from different places all with the same result. Is there any way to convert the NC1 flash for TWRP recovery to .tar?

Ok... I was able to do a full flash "Pass" in Odin... BUT still stuck on Custom Logo. I Used JFLTE_USA_ATT_16G.pit and AP_I337UCUEMK2_1921628_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5. Recovery also not working.

179
Seems I can flash MK2 all day long but nothing... Stuck at Custom logo and no recovery... If emmc is bad would it do a full flash at all? Did 2 full flashes with MK2 but everything else that I try to flash fails...

MK2 still does not make it boot but... Any ideas why I can flash MK2 ROM and not NB1 ROM???

I extracted system.img.ext4 from NB1 rom then converted to .tar using cygwin, all the bars loaded in odin but right at the point where it is supposed to reboot it failed. Should I try flashing with z3x?

i9507 Could not do normal boot, Odin mode

Hi,
I wouldn't normally post unless I really need help and I do, I've been at this for days, I'm stressing out because I really need my phone for work and I can't fix it myself...
My phone is stuck in a loop where every time I turn it off/on it goes straight into download mode.
It's doing this because I foolishly (without knowing what I was doing) used a .pit file I downloaded off of the internet.
I installed Clockworkmod 11 on my i9507 with the jfltexx i9505 rom.
It worked flawlessly except the 3G would drop out every time I locked the screen. Only 2G would work.
To try and fix it I downloaded a I9505DVUAMD8_MODEM.tar because I'm on Australia's 3G Telstra network through ALDI (medion) mobile.
The problem I had was that when I tried to flash the new modem, Odin would say that it failed.
So without knowing what I was doing, I used CSB_signed_Fusion3_TDD_0906_V2.pit
Now my phone is stuck in a loop where it goes straight into download mode.
Can someone please tell me how to fix this, I'm stressing out because all of my work is on this phone.
Please help, I'd really appreciate it.

Just flash a stock rom for the I9507 and you will be fine.

I don't understand what you mean by 'reflash recovery'?
I downloaded clockworkmod touch 6.0.4.7 but its a .img file and I don't know how to use it with Odin.
So I continued with what you told me to do the first time.

The zip file on its own doesn't show up when I click open in Odin though?
When I click AP/PDA and the Open box pops up, it doesn't show the zip file.
file name must be PDA File (*.tar, *.md5, *.smd, *.gz, *.tgz)

file name must be PDA File (*.tar, *.md5, *.smd, *.gz, *.tgz)
What am I supposed to do...

Open Odin ,connect your phone to pc via usb ,developers options enabled in ...settings ...about phone ..tap 6 or 7 times on build and enable usb ...foutopsporing in Dutch...also enable unknown sources .gO IN download mode ..search for how to do it. When phone is recognized in Odin
(If in the section ID COM is blue or yellow with a number it ,youre ready to go...
Tap on AP and it will ask for a file ...navigate on your pc to the location where you have stored the file,at first choose the Chainfire root file(,leave all the settings in Odin as the are) .it will appear in the AP section and hit Start ,wait until PASS appears in Odin...Disconnect phone from pc ,shut down Odin , Start the phone again in Download mode connect to pc and follow the same steps as with root,NOW UNCHECK automatic reboot in Odin,hit start and wait for Pass.
This should do the trick

For root you need .tar file so unzip the zip file only once and flash that .tar file . For TWRP use the zip file,it contents the recovery.img NO need to unzip!!!
Sorry if i put you on the wrong leg.

I kept getting the same fail message in Odin.
I've fixed it now. I used Samsung Kies > Tools > Firmware upgrade and installation. It's taken the phone back to the stock Australian Optus rom. Not the original optus rom with baseband XXUAMH2 but a newer one running 4.2.2 with baseband XXUFOA1. Unfortunately I've lost all data on it but thankfully the phone still works. I was stressing out of my mind.
Thanks to everyone for helping, I appreciate your input

BRICK - Accidentally flashed N900P firmware to N9005

Hello,
i got a device to repair. I am not so familiar with samsung devices so i would apreciate some advice/help.
I dont know how to flash correctly the n9005 firmware.
I cant go to recovery and when try to boot there is shown on the screen "kernel is not seandroid enforcing, set warranty bit : kernel" and the device is rebooting to this text over and over.
It Is N9005 (is written under the battery).
But when i go to download mode it is listed this:
Code:
Odin Mode
product name: SM-N900P
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox Warranty Void: 0x1
Qulcomm Secureboot: Enable (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A3, P1
Write Protection: Enable
I assume the owner accidentally flashed an n900P firmware to his n9005 device.
I tried many ODIN bversions (3.10.7,3.10.6,3.07,1.85) and stock 5.0, 4.4.2, 4.3 firmwares, various n9005 PIT files
when flashing a stock 4.4.2 firmware (only AP file from sammobile)
Code:
<ID:0/016> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/016> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/016> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/016> sbl1.mbn
<ID:0/016> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/016> FAIL! (Auth)
when flashing a stock 5.0 firmware (only AP file from sammobile)
Code:
<ID:0/015> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/015> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/015> aboot.mbn
<ID:0/015> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/015> FAIL! (Auth)
when flashing a 4.4.? csc file for n9005
Code:
<ID:0/015> Odin engine v(ID:3.1100)..
<ID:0/015> File analysis..
<ID:0/015> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/015> Initialzation..
<ID:0/015> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/015> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/015> FAIL!
<ID:0/015>
<ID:0/015> Re-Partition operation failed]
closest i got with this:
in ODIN 3.07 when flashing kitkat csc file i got
Code:
<ID:0/015> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/015> cache.img.ext4
<ID:0/015> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/015> hidden.img.ext4
<ID:0/015> FAIL
and on the device was shown:
Code:
secure check fail : PIT
Set warranty bit : cache
Unsupport dev_type

nobody?
I make a step further.
Now i can flash system (AP) or i can flash twrp recovery or root trough ODIN, but i cant flash the whole stock, because it will fail everytime on sbl1.img, aboot or hidden.image.ext4
So now i can boot the system, but with N900P modem, kernel and othe rpartitions, so wifi dont work ect.
Now it would be superb to have a zip file with stock modem,sbl,aboot,non-hlos to flash it trough TWRP.
please any advice?

Sorry for my English!!
Download your region firmware from sammobile and pit file for your device n9005 note 3 open europ from xda.
Open odin select pit then the rom on itch specific place flash everything...
Let me know if you've got a positive result.

tried this dozen times. It gives me error when Odin tries to write the sbl1 or aboot or modem partition (as i wrote in OP). It gives error because the pit file doesn't match.

Is it possible the phone's motherboard was swapped for a 900p?

don't know... maybe. so you suggest to imstall stock N900P firmware?

This is a pit file for n9005 Europe
I advice you to reflash the rom of your original specific model with the pit file with wipe partition checked
Let me know wen u did

I will try. I avoided to wipe partitions while users say here on xda that it is a one way ride. ?

Samsung seems to have pretty good security measures in place to prevent flashing incorrect ROMs via Odin.
The failure to flash the 9005 aboot file tells me the bootloader on the rom and the bootloader in the phone do not match.

so how it can be, that i have an n9005 device with n900p Firmware and all partitions?

Does the imei in the phone match the imei on the printed label under the battery?

And why not your device would be a N900P ? Remove battery and see...
Maybe your USB is bad (it happened to me : 4 cables, 3 not working, 1 working hopefully)
Or maybe your downloaded ROM can't been flashed (weird, but it happened also to me), so flash the same model, but other revision (exemple OD3 doesn't work, try with OJ3, in my case)
Good luck !

use kies to install firmware. from kies select tools then "Emergency firmware recovey".

Install Kies ot SmartSwitch (Kies' replacement)
Go to Emergency
Enter N9005 in device model
Enter the S/N number (written under the battery)
Connect your phone (don't worry if it is not recognized)
Go !
It will download the right update and install it : be patient, don't disconnect the phone or internet...
Good luck

I have the pit file for N9005 i flashed it using ODIN ..it was all ok
When i try to flash the AP image of stock (that cotains all parts BL,AP,CSC, CP) the flash ends by starting with flashing BL partitions sbl1.img)
When try to flash BL (bootloader) there is error in flashing sbl1.img.
the same goe with CSC and CP images (always show some error in flashing aboot.img and other partitions and ODIN stops.
I can flash AP (the AP that is only the system,recovery,boot) it goes well, the device starts but has some errors (because of missing parts in CSC and CP?.). wifi dont work i see full signal but there is no simcard inserted
Now i can boot the device the imei that is shown in the android systme is other than the imei on the back (under the battery).
I think someone tried to flash a N900P firmware over the N9005.
Now i cant flash the rest of the partitions.
