I Flash Wrong rom (I9505_Omega_v17) to my Galaxy S4 I337 .. the phone get Samsung logo then black screen .. the Custom Recovery was Gone .. but the phone can boot to Original Recovery mode & download mode.
Help PLZ

i believe you can just flash back to stock using odin and download mode (hold volume down when booting) search on google for the correct files to flash with odin for the att i337. as long as you can get into download mode there is still hope.

Im stuck on MF3, I've rooted and cant update for sone reason. Can I reflash the stock rom or will that cause a soft brick? What files besides the .tar do I need?

Whenever I try to update using the system update it downloads the update and when it tries to install it bootloops my device which I unbrick using an odin file I found somewhere around here. I believe I may have uninstalled an important system file with titanium backup which is causing the softbrick or the root, either way will I be able to reflash the rom? Or is there another solution?

Yes it will affect it. It'll delete it. It will delete your device and return it to like new. But you should get some working device again

Problem with rooting and flashing with Odin.

Hey folks,
This is the first time I have had a Samsung phone and I am unfamiliar with Odin, I finally decided to root after having had my phone since release ( the first time I have had a device and NOT rooted it on day one!). I've used the Odin bundled with Chainfires CF-Auto-Root, 'CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5'.
This is what I get from Odin after flashing -

You can either take your battery out and try and boot up again, but more likely You need to Reflash 4.4.2 and re-root, - seems the bootloader isn't playing too nice with everyone currently.

Do we have a repository for ROMs? I assume I flash a ROM the same way I 'rooted'?

My bad on the last post saying to reflash 4.4.2 - seems everyone is using Odin right now and having issues with something.
Head over to Sammobile.com and grab the lastest JB Rom for your device, type in *#1234# and post your results here and we can tell you which firmware you need to grab,

That file you used was recently updated by chainfire to work with Kit Kat. Could it be something in there kept you bootlooping?
I have a copy of the old file that was used to root JB. If you want I'll upload it somewhere for you to try. Same process only different file.

Take your battery out to kill the power, then it'll let you go back to download mode when it's powered off.
hey_joe is correct with the fact you seem to have used the wrong CF file which is for 4.4 and doesn't seem to work with 4.3 builds.

It'll go back to download mode just fine, but what do I flash to restore my ROM? Is there an older 4.3 file I can flash to recover my phone?

No. As I said Chainfire updated the file to work with Kit Kat and maybe something from that update is causing the bootloop. Because he can't downgrade his phone's firmware to JB, he probably couldn't test if there was an issue or not with JB using the new file. Anyway it's just my thought. You can try the old file and see if it works. It beats having to download the whole firmware and flashing all over again.

I'm using some unfamiliar recovery now, 'Android system recovery <3e>'. Looks basic. I have root though, am I free to flash via storage a ROM now? I assume I do exactly the same flash via Odin to install TWRC?

You will need a custom recovery, You can try either Chenglu's CWM, PhilZ CWM or TWRP - all three are easy to use, quite easy to install also -- Open ODIN, flash in PDA and after 10secs or so all done, have a look around at the ROM's there's some nice one's going

Odin won't flash Disk Image Files? Only Tarballs? Chenglu's 6.0.4.5. CWM is an image not a tarball.

[Q] Big problem root gt-i9505

Hello,
*
I come to you because it has been more than 24 hours that I try to install an AOSP rom in my s4 Galaxy (GT-I9505)
In fact I have a big concern when I flash CF-Root-jflte Self-jfltexx-gti9505.zip (latest site chainefire) with odin everything goes correctly
But once back in android, not Rooted (lack binary ...)
-I tried several version odin (1.85, 3.04, 3.07 and 3.09)
-I tried on several PCs (Windows 7 and Windows 8)
-I tried several USB cables
-I made full wipe
-I flashed the PIT file from the stock rom 4.4.2 (version in my S4)
-I tried to put everything back to zero with a stock rom
*
Without success, my phone does not want to be Root ...
*
So I thought I flashed a Recovery
I tried TWRP, CWM and Philz-recovery and reboot before all began to flash, so do not even touch system
I tried several rom AOSP (11 cm, slimkat ...)
*
Could you please give me a little help here because I dry supplement
I'm bored here, this is my 5th as samsung and this is the first where I can not install CM 11
I do not understand why not traveling on wheels Recovery flash, they do not put error message but reboot alone and without flash
*
Ps: I've tried stock rom pre-Rooted to fasher with odin, it works, I have root but it does not address the concern of recovery
Sorry very bad English, it's google traduction

Are you sure you're using i9505? I have the same device and haven't any issue and the chainfire auto-root works very well for me.
Good luck. :fingers-crossed:

Yes it's a GT-I9505
I flash I9505XXUFNC4_I9505OXXFNC3_I9505XXUFNC4_HOME.tar

Try flash again the stock rom and use the Odin from chainfire auto-root. I'm doing this every time and work very well without any issue and fails.

Ok, follow these steps. Ignore anyone, if you have already done.
That's what I do and usually gives everything well.
Flash samsung stock rom, after reboot, open Supersu disable Knox, Turn device off, turn the divce on in download mode, flash the custom recovery (Philz or TWRP recommended).
Have you try this?

This still does not work with the Knox free.
Tomorrow I back to the store to get a refund, I'm tired.

Why not just flash a stock rooted rom, and go from there. If it's the GPE there is a rooted ROM that fits that phone. That's what I did.

I don't believe you can downgrade from MK2 or above.
What I would do is pull the battery, download latest NG2 tar from sammobile.
Load it into odin. put your phone's battery in and press+hold the power button and vol down button at the same time. Hopefully you will boot into download mode at this point. Then you can plug your phone into your pc via usb and flash stock rom.
If that fails, have you attempted using kies yet?

Try reflashing the ng2 firmware. Make sure you get it from sammobile (or the xda thread that uses sammobile as the source) and double check the md5sum.
If you dont wanna go through all that you can try flashing the ng2 modem-only found in the stock roms thread of the development section. you gotta use odin for that. try a different slot if it doesn't work for you.
Is your software and firmware recognized under about phone menu of the settings?

I got it working by just doing a factory reset. All good now!!!

Soft bricked, can't find stock roms, it's been 18 hours, I'm slowly losing my mind...

SM-N910G, I flashed chainfire's auto root without first using the Dr K/PhilZ forced/submissive whatever kernel first.
I can't seem to find a normal stock rom to push through Odin without encountering a sea of dodgy download sites.
Can anyone help? Just want a 5.1.1 stock rom...
Even any of the other 5.1.1 builds like Simpl, I can't seem to find a tar file.
Any nudges in the right direction would be very handy.
Thanks in advance.

If you want to return to stock.
Download Samfirm from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Then extract the files and run the tool.
Then enter the model as SM-N910G and the region you are in (CSC)
Then tick the 'Auto' box and press 'Check Update' and the 'Decrypt automatically'
It should look something like this, I put INS which is for India.

Then extract the firmware from the downloaded file using an archive tool such as Winrar and flash it via Odin.
Or use Sammobile.
If you want to install a custom ROM you will need to flash a custom recovery, for the N910G I would recommend this one (TWRP 2.8.7.0):
Download the twrp-2.8.7.0-trltedt.img.tar
https://dl.twrp.me/trltedt/
Flash it using Odin and your phone in download mode.

download stock firmware from sammobile (google it) and flash it with ODIN.
***DO NOT *** download and flash latest 5.1.1 firmware with build number "COJ5" as the latest version of 5.1.1 locks down the bootloader download any version below coj5

Unless you do not care about downgrading to lower bootloaders. It works fine otherwise. But having it locked does suck if you want to downgrade. No way to do it..... Yet.

Thanks for the help fellas, I ended up finding "N910GDTU1COJ3" which I'm flashing with Odin now.
Next time I'll flash the Dr K kernel before I do anything else...
Time to update my sig as well

This morning I grabbed a stock ROM from SamMobile and flashed it with Odin, no joy, stuck loading for about 10 minutes. It stopped boot looping at least.
So now I'm following your procedure, I will let you know how I get on.
It's a shame I can't use ADB otherwise I could just flash the Dr K kernel and then auto root with chainfire's tool... I've gotta use Odin for now...
It's downloading now with a CSC code of OPS...

After ODIN flashing, when it hangs, pull battery go into stock recovery and do factory reset.

I can't extract the enc4 files, both 7zip and WinRar don't recognise it...
Tried downloading twice...
I'll go back to my SamMobile download and see if factory resetting will work as suggested by DS...

Stock recovery doesn't allow me to do anything, just hangs there with a "Downloading...." message under the green Android Icon.

So I've just tried a stock ROM I downloaded using this tool, still hanging when trying to boot.
V Frustruating, the stock recovery doesn't allow you to do anything.
I need to convert Dr K's kernel to a tar file somehow so I can flash in Odin... I'm on 5.1.1 and there is a known issue with the bootloader.

Check PM.

There seems to be some confusion here, people are telling me, even on other threads, to do a factory reset in the stock recovery tool.
There might be an issue with recovery then, because I've only got a green android logo with "Downloading..." on the screen, nothing else is available to me.
It's not like previous bootloaders I've used where you use the volume key to select options etc, I literally can't do anything except flash from Odin.
Yes I have tried to flash TWRP using Odin, it didn't work...

OMG... By random luck I decided to hold the volume up key instead of down key when powering on and hey presto I have TWRP...
36 hours of my life I want back!

That's how to boot into recovery. By holding Volume UP, Home Button while powering on.
