I'm having trouble with getting my phone to connect to Odin and kies. It is saying my phone doesn't have the drivers to connect. Haven't had this problem yet. Anyone know a proper fix. I'm running on sacs rom 5.0. I did try updating to mk2 with mobile Odin but dialer freezes and no sound. So I flashed it back to mf9. After that I have been trying to connect with Odin so I can download properly.

Can you try from win 7 instead? That should clear up any problems.

That's why you flash a stock rooted MF9 ROM if you want to be on the latest and rooted.

S4 rebooting as soon as I boot it!?
Hi!
So I followed Djembeys guide to root my s4 back when ME2/MF2(or smthn in that matter)was the newest firmware avable. But now I wanted to go back to stock and update my phone and as stated in the guide that would be no problem, well OTA didn't work so i did it via Kies. It worked as expected for a while before my phone started freezing and rebooting itself forever, like as soon as i get into the launcher.
Things I've tryed to do:
*Checking in download mode that everything is official, it is, and the phone doesn't seem to reboot while in download mode, should I flash a stock rom, I mean, what if the phone shuts off in the middle of the process?
*Doing a factory data reset via stock recovery, the "android" in recovery falls down and a triangle at his stomach. However the data reset worked, but it didn't solve the problem, still reboots but now when the phone is trying to set itself up.
What can i do guys? You think i can send it back to the store seeing everything is official in download mode?
I'm giving up my GS4 and need to wipe absolutely everything and put it back to complete stock, however I only have access to a Mac. What's the safest and easiest way to do so and reset the flash counter on the way?

No. If you need to reset that, you will need to root on stock, and then use triangle triangle away to reset it, then use SuperSu to unroot.

Is kies the easiest way? It's terrible software, and is rather avoid it if I can.

You can go to sammobile.com look for the MDL tar file for odin and flash through Odin.

Actually, is there a 100% stock ROM of the latest, or second to latest, that I could flash through TWRP, and then update to whatever the latest is through it?I can delete everything manually, but that would be an easy way to stock, right?

It sounds like flashing files through ADB/fastboot on a Nexus. But man do I miss One-Click packages like they had back in my E4GT days. If only there was... I'd even do what I can and get to a Windows computer ASAP if I could get a One-click.

I liked adb/fastboot on my nexus one. Lots of versatility. I only have the iMac bc my daughter-in-law gave me one when my sony vaio crashed. kinda liking it though.
I did a full restore on a mac using Heimdall and I did not need to use the command line. I did not look at the linked thread very carefully so you may have found what you are looking for. If you'd prefer my method of using the Heimdall GUI, shoot me a PM and I'll post instructions here. I'd actually been meaning to work out how to make a Heimdall package...hmmm....
I'm on stock touchwiz, tried to root it using auto root, I enabled usb debugging, got into download mode, flashed using odin but failed. When I rebooted it showed firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use kies and use recovery method. Please help guys.

Change the USB Port, make sure you dont connect to USB 3.0, change the cable
If all of the above failed try it on another pc

Anytime bro
I've encounter this problem once before and this is what i did to get flash success through odin.
close all running program on your pc.. start odin and plug in your usb cable.. please do not use your pc while flashing stock rom on your phone because this is why it kept falling..flashing stock rom on galaxy s4 took pretty long time since the file is big.. just wait until the process is finish..
note : you can still use download mode when you get this message ( firmware upgrade encountered an issue )
p/s : i didn't see that it already has been solved.. i'm very tired when writing this so i think i might just post it here so other member can get clue when they encounter this problem
it took time when writing this, cuz my english is bad and i don't want to just delete it
I wanted to install the stock rom on my Sprint Galaxy s4. I installed mobile odin lite along with the proper kernel. I downloaded the stock rom from http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...axy S4 (SPH-L720)/Stock ROMs/MK2/Original TAR It's in the form of tar.md5. I transferred that onto my phone. When I launch odin and click on that file I get the message Partition could not be found in file. What am I doing wrong?
The proper way to do it would be on a PC and use Odin rather than mobile Odin. Use version 3.xx to have good results.

Something is wrong with the cables I'm using or the computers since windows doesn't recognize the phone. I downloaded and installed the latest drives, but still can't get the phone recgonized. That's why I wanted to use mobile odin
Hello,
I have s4 i9505 5.0.1 . I want to root it because i want to install custom roms or downgrade to kitkat. I have read many artical on rooting from pc but the problem is my pc windows 10/64 bit latest version didn't recognize my phone after i turn on "usb debugging". I have used kingroot & iroot but no result. if anyone knows any other method to root my phone or downgrade to kitkat plz share.
My phone touch is not so responsive,
i installed new battery but didn't give much higher result
& it heats up.
I think this problem is because of 5.0.1 version.
The best way to root is with a PC.
Have you install the Samsung drivers? Without those, the PC won't recognize the phone.
my pc is not even installing samsung driver
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I installed the drivers on a Windows 10 64 bit system and they worked.
I don't think there are any "No PC" root methods for Android 5.
Thankfully samsung driver is installed but now the problem gets bigger, my s4 is now completely not recognised by pc.

Can Odin see it? If it can, then it's no problem.
If it can't, then I suggest trying another USB cable and USB port.

If the phone gets really hot when connected to a charger, the motherboard is probably defective. I have an s4 that does the same thing and changing the motherboard solved the problem.

I used to have trouble with my PC recognising the phone. I tried 3 different cables and it would work 1 out of 10 tries if lucky. I eventually tried my PS4 usb cable and it works every single time i connect it now.
Thanks all for comments. I'm now rooted with kingroot apk app. Thread closed.
