after installing a stock rom of MK9. Odin mode appears to have added WRITTEN PROTECTION =ENABLED section. which prevetns me from flash bootloaders or any other custom rom. whenever i attempt to isntall TWRP, it triggers a message at the "SAMSUNG GT-I9505" start screen which stops phone from booting. so i conclude that i managed to stuff up my phone by locking it up. while it does still work. but now i;m stuck on offical rom. anyone help ?

I'm trying to flash Wanamlite's rom but at every attempt it goes into the bootloader instead of actually flashing the rom itself. Sometimes it does it immediately other times it takes about a minute but the screen goes black and when clicking on any button the bootloader appears. I've tried with CWM and Philz's recoveries but it's all the same. Not sure what to do as I'd like to be able to flash custom roms. It hasn't been an issue before. Can anyone help?
hi,
my S4 i9500 won't boot.
i have tried loading several versions of stock roms, recoveries and non-stock roms.
all stock roms fail in odin, and i get "unsupported dev_type" error on the device.
other non-stock roms install with no error, but the device won't boot after reboot.
finally, out of frustration and recklessness, i guess i used an S4 boot loader fix wihch loaded successfully from odin.
unfoutunatly, after rebooting the device, boot message sais GT-I9505 instead of GT-I9500. turns out it was a 9505 boot loader fix.
is there anything i can do to bring my device back to life??
currently, device won't boot to recovery (blue "recovery booting" on top left corner of screen), won't boot to system, but can enter download mode, and be identified by odin.
update: i also tried flashing stock rom with pit file. in this case i get "secure check fail : pit" error message on the device
thanks!!

if you dont want to be on stock rom then try flashing a custom recovery by odin eg philz touch link here and then just flash it via recovery and you will be able to boot into recovery and then you can just flash a custom rom.
if you dont want to install custom rom do a clean wipe and try flashing the stock rom again
hope it hepled .
Hit thanks if it helped.

It's an AT&T S5. I messed with the build.prop to try to spoof another phone, and wound up having the Android UI appear tiny and crash whenever I booted to the home screen. I tried to fix this problem by flashing earlier stock firmware with Odin, but now my phone freezes every time it boots up. It will load until the Samsung logo animation, then freeze mid-animation, and the screen will go black with my led light in the corner blue. I have to pull the battery out.
Every soft brick solution I see is to flash stock firmware, but it doesn't seem to be working. I flash G900AUGU1ANCE 4.4.2, the AP, CP and CSC files, but the phone still boots up with the the CUSTOM appearing at initial boot with the unlocked padlock graphic. Usually that goes away after flashing older firmware. SO despite flashing older firmware, it still boots and freezes. I can boot into Recovery mode and Download mode, so the phone is not all the way gone. I try wiping data and cache in Recovery, but that doesn't fix anything. I am at my wit's end. Can anyone help fix this?

I'm having the same problem after installing and using the TWRP app on my ATT S5. I tried reflashing the stock rom using odin and it says successful but the phone never boots. It only makes it to the Samsung logo then the screen goes black. I've heard that if the phone is on lollipop which mine is you have to downgrade to kitkat first then flash the stock files.
If your fone boot in recovery perform a full vipe and format system and after go in download mode end use odin for flash all file bootloader, modem ,PIT file for partition find the pit file for ur device modell in xda
Hello to you all,
I've downloaded and flashed the original samsung lolipop rom for my SM-T535, but something went wrong and it gets stuck at boot (samsung logo) and once or twice it boots up but freezes when I'm making the initial setup (google account etc.) and restarts and stops at boot indefinitely.
Now I want to go back to kitkat and I've downloaded the correct firmware for my region (Spain), but I've been unable to flash it. Odin tries flashing it (almost completing the process), but it says FAIL at the end. I try installing lolipop again (and Odin succeeds flashing it), still stuck at boot, but I can access recovery mode. I then make the factory reset and wipe cash, and try flashing kitkat again, but still Fail.
I would really appreciate some help, if anybody has an idea what could the problem be.
One other thing, when ODIN fails I try accessing recovery mode, but it says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
Can you flash a custom ROM?
I decided to root my Samsung Galaxy S5 today which was totally successful. I was able to update SuperSu and install Busybox. So, here is when everything went downhill. I wanted to install a custom recovery (used the unofficial twrp) and flashed it through Odin. It confirmed "PASS!" at the end of it and was excited to start finally installing roms on this bad boy. But after it re-booted it went to recovery & something "over-ridden" it in red text. Can't remember word for word but the screen said "[email protected] something software not allowed" so I tried pulling the battery, and that didn't work so I just used the un-brick guide to flash it back to stock. Once again, Odin confirmed "PASS!" after I downloaded the correct firmware for my phone. But now my phone doesn't boot correctly, it's stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S5," "powered by android" screen. There is a unlocked lock and has the word "Custom" under it. The phone vibrates when turned on, recovery and download can be accessed, it even makes the [email protected] boot sound but dosen't boot to the setup. I'm very confused and stuck with what to do. Sorry for the essay but I wanted to put everything I did so it can help you guys out on my situation too.
