No its not at a hard brick dont worry dont panic thats the best wat to work around
I would say dont use pit file unless its last option and try without that only may be in other pc using other cable some below steps myte also help u
2) Install later Kies.
3) Kill al kies applications (all 4 of them).
disable antivirus or whatever you got there.) Get to Download Mode and push Vol Up.
7) Open Odin.
8) Plug the device to your laptop.
Does it see the device?
If NO:
A) Get another usb cable, are you using ?
B) Try different Odin Versions (download 3 or 4).
C) Try another USB port.
D) Still no luck? reboot the pc and start from step 3.

Download 2/3 stock firmware and try installing thru ODIN it should work
Make sure u have all the drivers installed
MAke sure kies is not open or make sure its closed even in background process

Official firmware is not a wiping one. It doesnt flash userdata, it replace system, recovery, and some other partitions.

Great to hear that man
If u flash stock firmware all will remain as its in ODIN but its good if u reset the device after or b4 root
Also take a EFS backup of ur device and be safe
i had root before the device bricks... so i rootet it now again, and works good...
yeah, i will backup efs (hope this <- works...)
yah, thank you again...
have a nice day..

Mh, is this normal for ODIN, having a single PDA file given?
@ SAMGS4: What exactly did you do? For me it looks like you put the same file in all file selection lines.
Do you still have access to phone's UI and can check the complete device properties?
I know this is the wrong device forum but if a mod moves this topic to the proper location, the replies got moved also.
someone please help

thanks and ive just reported the post to be moved, and also i have no access to the phone, i can get it on the download mode and when it says about firmware upgrade kies update etc
Well ... there might be another reason why you can't flash the wanted file - the DL is corrupt. But ODIN checked the md5 hash and the file passed the test.
Did you try to flash another, earlier leaked, ROM for your phone?
Does the ROM match to your country / provider code? Maybe the ROM you try to flash doesn't match exactly to the phone you have; there are various SGS4 models.

I'd give it a try. Update the drivers before you attempt it. I'm on three as well and have flashed the same firmware without problems. Have you tried flashing a recovery and wiping the phone. Internal SD etc? Wouldn't do it any harm

hi could you please give me a link to stock rom for three please as cant find one and what recovery would i flash?? thanks?
Mh, can you get into Recovery mode? If not, flash an alternate Recovery mod first. Try PhilZ Touch Recovery. It's being flashed within DL mode, fill only PDA field.
Ah, I didn't notice yet ... you use ODIN 3.04. That's an outdated version; maybe 3.04 can't handle an I9505.
Most current version is 3.07, get it here. In this post it's said ODIN 1.85 can already deal with an I9595; try this too.
Does ODIN run with Admin rights? Maybe there's a problem with your Windows UAC.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281367
That's the link for philz recovery. Download the latest .tar and flash in O.
Boot into recovery and wipe everything including the internal SD. Make sure you back up.
By the looks of it you are flashing the latest three firmware. MEA H3G.
I'd download the firmware again. You can get it from Sammobile.com. you'll need to register an account. Think its labelled as Hutchisons 3G
someone please help
i just tryed to flash PhilZ Touch Recovery and it failed, also ive tried all the odins and the one that seems to get me the furthest is the 3.04
someone please help
anymore ideas?? pls:crying:
Have you tried another PC, one with Win 7 or 8 on it?It doesn't look like a partition problem, it seems to get further through each time but keeps failing. Might be a problem with your PC...
Oh, and I use ODIN 3.04 to flash too...
Yesterday I had just rooted my Sprint Galaxy S4 on 4.3 and tried flashing Sac's 4.3 Rom and it 1st left me at some shinig small android logo so i decided it would've been a better idea to restore back to stock ( with the back up i made in TWRP ) and after i restored the back up, the phone's screen was stuck on the yellow sprint boot screen. After that i've tried using Odin mutiple times as seen a solution in other posts to completely put the phone back to stock/unroot it and i get the following error from Odin: *Note I've tried using 2 different versions of odin and 2 different laptops.*

Grab this tar (it's zipped, so unzip and use tar.md5..) and try it in Odin. It's the full MJA.
Also make sure to run Odin 'As administrator'
Thanks leadbuilder! I managed to reflash a stock 4.3 mja.tar from that exact link about an hour ago i right before i read your reply.
Thank you for repsponding though!
Thanks for the reply!
It's always good to know what happened. That way maybe others can benefit too.
If you hang around and read all the way through some of the posts you will quickly get a really good education on how this device works and have a blast with this phone. There are some really good devs and contributors here.
Good luck.
Accidentally posted this in the TMO S5 board, my bad.
I've followed the super easy instructions on how to use CF Auto Root but still cannot make it all the way through the first part of the root process. It starts running fine and then stops at NAND Write Start. At one point it got past that but failed at again.

Earlier it said something about the PIT partition, but I can't seem to find a 32GB pit file for the Sprint S5 - and it's not saying that any more. I am kind of at a loss here, and now my phone won't boot at all. What else can I do?
Thanks!
Could you first please confirm is Kies installed?
Secondly could you try to change the cable and try a different USB port?
Have you booted your phone into the bootloader? Home + volume down when powering on. Take the battery out and leave it for 10 seconds and then try to boot into bootloader mode.
this model seems difficult (gt-i9506)
i tried to root it via towelroot, then kingoroot, these failed but then now the reboot is stuck on "firmware upgrade encountered an issue"
ive tried Kies firmware recovery but the download fails after 80%,
ive tried the sammobile download the ROM this too fails, network drops out tried this 3 times
i want to try Kies emergency recovery but cant find any recovery code
im stuck i dont know what to do now been researching for 4 hours cant find solution :crying:
could anyone please help?? am going crazy over this spent 2 days researching and finding nothing
Download a complete stock rom and flash it with ODIN. You have to uninstall KIES beforehand (they are conflicting).
thanks for reply...
i took kies off and this is what Odin is giving me...

does this highlight anything that could be going wrong?
Not sure... but looks like the rom is not for that device. Are you sure you have a i9506?
on samsmobile GT-I9506/VAU/ Roms (i cant post link)
well the first ROM was 4.2 android (bottom of ROM list), so then tried 4.4 (top of ROM list) android it failed again but with different Odin errors...

can anyone see the fault here...?? no error came up on the device, only on Odin this time
Did you restart after KIES de-installation? Was USB driver successfully missing (so you had to install one manually for ODIN)? If not, you probably still have drivers/files running from KIES.
Otherwise, try a different computer to double check its not the system.
If you originally updated to Android 4.4.x or later on this device, you cannot install 4.3.x or lower as Knox within the bootloader will actively prevent Odin from functioning. As to Odin, make sure you're using the original cable, are not using a hub, have Kies disabled or uninstalled, and use a different USB port. Odin sometimes is picky about the ports it uses.
If you can get the ROM issue resolved, use CF-Autoroot to root, keeping in mind that you will trip the Knox flag in doing so. Towelroot and other one-click root methods don't work on your device.
FIXED IT!!!!!!! :laugh::silly::good::cyclops:
Moved all operations to a different PC running XP with no kies on it
The error still occurred "write fail"
So instead i tried Odin 3.09 instead of 3.07 but most of all i changed usb cables, found an original cable off my mates Nokia
then boom!!! she starting writing!!!
Thankyou so much you legends, you are now my best friends forever!!!
Strangely the new flash, all my old previous data & apps are still on there??? somehow the network is not locked either which i was fearing being a vodafone ROM
still want to root it though
Flashing a ROM through Odin doesn't wipe the data partition, which is why your apps are untouched.
