Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help me with this problem. Basically I was updating my phone to mk2 BTU via kies and it failed. Kies stopped recognising the phone and it kept going in to stock recovery.
I tried manually flashing stock mk2 via odin but I kept getting the same result.
Then I got fed up and I rooted (cf auto root) and installed TWRP and my phone booted in to a rooted mk2. My knox is now triggered which is a bit annoying but at least it works now.
The problem is if I try to flash stock rom via odin it still does the same thing boots in to stock recovery and then I have to root and install twrp again. I blame all this on KIES!
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
Any ideas anyone?

Not clear here - by stock rom do you mean stock MK2 ROM (unrooted, same CSC as the rooted one that works)?
Have you also tried in Kies the special "emergency recovery mode" (under tools)?

Hi,
Yes thats right MK2 stock unrooted and same CSC. I tried KIES the first time with emergency recovery but it kept saying device unsupported, that's when i rooted it and installed TWRP and it worked. I don't understand it.

After flashing 4.3 leak on my I9500 using Odin 3.09, it doesn't boot up as it should, I have wiped data/cache, but to no avail. I even flashed the Russian official 4.3 firmware, but it just doesn't boot up as it should.
When I turn on the phone, the phone stops right after the "Galaxy S4 I9500," screen. I see a black screen right after that.
I tried to downgrade my phone using Odin 3.09, 3.07 and 3.04, but it keeps failing. My S4 shows "unsupported version," when I try to flash stock 4.2.2.
I am guessing this is probably happening because of the newer bootloader, the newer bootloader is making it impossible to downgrade to an older version.

ok try this first use the cf root provided in the cf root thread and then dload the latest 4.2.2 http://samsung-updates.com/details/14135/Galaxy_S_4_Exynos_Octa/GT-I9500/XFE/I9500XXUBMH1.html from here and flash it see what happens
Solved.
The problem was that I didn't flash the stock rom that came with my phone. I flashed that and my phone was restored to its factory settings. However my imei was messed up, it was showing me 0049. I rooted, flashed twrp recovery and used twrp to restore from a backup and I got my imei back along with my data.
I will wait for 4.3 to become flashable and see how it goes then.

Same happened to me when i used mobile Odin. The bootloader wasn't updated.
Did you use Odin 1.85? And did you tick the option update new bootloader? If not do that.
If did that then wipe cache and data reset from recovery.

yeah i used the wrong version of odin. i used 1.85 now its working, but i didnt select update bootloader, how do i know if it updated the bootloader?
You know if the phone is up and running. Kitkat can't boot without new bootloader. So if the phone is working there is no issues.

just FYI,
if you want to flash TW custom ROM, the best you use is Chenglu CWM. So far I seldom see user complain got problem during flashing with this CWM.
TWRP, some users got problem, some are not.
all.
I have an i9505 on 3 UK that has been rooted for over 6 months. I've been running the excellent TW based Echo Rom but wanted to try an ASOP rom but quickly wanted to revert.
I tried to restore my Nandroid but this failed and screwed up the phone (dont ask)so back to ODIN and i flashed back to stock 4.4.2 firmware for the UK via Sammobile (NG8)
Now back to square 1 so attempted to reroot with CF Autoroot again via ODIN. all show pass and i get the black screen on the phone with the red android logo and line stating stock recovery restored. I then used ODIN to flash Philz recovery again shown as Pass, however when i try to get into recovery i get some small white text on the bkack background that is there too briefly to read before the phone reboots as normal.
The Su superuser app is there but states the Su binary is outdated and the phone has no root access.
Ive read a few methods to get round this but they all seem to follow the same process ive tried a few times now.
The Rom for Echoe is auto root so id have thought if i could get to recovery somehow i could just flash this ?
Any one any views or have i screwed up for good ? .
You will be fine.
If you want to flash a custom rom anyway the shortest way would be to just flash the custom recovery. You don't need root for that.
Uncheck auto-reboot before you flash the recovery and it should work.

so i reflashed Philz recovery and unchecked auto reboot. This then gives me PASS in ODIN. I guess then i unplug and try and activate recovery - but still nothing...it just boots up normally ?

What is the model descriped when you are in download mode?
What is the exact version of Philz you are trying to flash?

GTI9505...(Bootloader i9505xxegng8)
Originally I tried philz_touch_5.15.8-i9505.tar.md5
and then updated to philz_touch_6.23.9-i9505.tar.md5 with no avail.
Try redownloading it. If you say that if passes, then it should just work.
If it still fails then try TWRP. Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing.
Could it be connected to me flashing a generic unlocked UK firmware on a 3 UK handset ?
That's sorted it ! Flashed CWM recovery and am now running Echoes v28.
Thanks for the help. I was really panicking for a while.
I wont be changing roms for a while but I guess if I did I won't lose root ?
Ok so I updated to the 5.0.1 update on my S4 yesterday and kept my root using that method with the chainfire app. Today I wanted to try flashing CWM on my S4. Upon trying on Odin 3.09, it said failed and now my S4 boots into Odin Mode and says "Firmware upgrade encountrered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & Ttry again."
WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST DO?

Glad you got it fixed.

Safestrap doesn't allow recovery boot for lollipop. This is because safestrap hasn't been updated for lollipop yet. Everyone's moving to lollipop someone will update it or come up with a alternative soon I'm sure.

If you want to fix the stock recovery. find the OC3 Stock Partitions file and ODIN it to your phone. If you find the one that's a zip file, you'll have to ODIN a kitkat kernel to flash that in Safestrap.

I don't understand. I've never used safestrap. I was able to flash back using odin to the nc4. Than flashed to NJ1, rooted that, then upgraded to 5.0.1 while keeping root using that flashfire method.
Now if I use flashfire, do a cache wipe that way I can access flashfire's reboot options, select boot to recovery, it will boot to recovery fine. I just can't get it to boot recovery using the volume up, power, and home buttons. It says recovery boot in blue at the top but then restarts and boots normally

@BlackMonkey It happened to me several times. What I had to do: flashed the stock ANE2 rom from sammobile (it allows to download for free, but it is slow). Flashed the BL and CP from ANE2 (I don't remember where I found it but it was on google. Actually, you should try the next step first, as I am not sure that it is required). Rebooted in recovery mode. Wiped cache. Rebooted. Root with towelroot. Install mobile odin. Flashed rom with option everroot. And you got lollipop in knox 0x0. Once in lollipop, mobile odin as failed each time for me, the same as you describe. It could be an issue with rom that use AROMA which are not supported. I had to use flashfire which works great.
ps : i did that as I wanted to keep knox 0x0. If you don't, you should install TWRP.

Thank you for your answer. I alredy did exactly this because i wanted to use again my phone and didnt see other solution. I hoped for a solution without a factory reset but it was necessary. Lost some picture and messages and have work for some hours So at that point be warned:
DON'T USE MOBILE ODIN WITH LOLLIPOP!!!
The problem is MOP doesn't support Lollipop.
So if u want to save data flash via odin the same rom but stock.
