HELP!! Odin failure - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone. I was trying to flash a firmware with Odin 3.04 and it was "fail" all the time and then it appeared a message in the phone saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I don't know what to do. I can't turn it off, I just can get to the download mode and it shows this message.
Help me please!!

Take the battery off, put it in again, go to download mode then and try flash OTHER firmware. :highfive:

Are you sure that taking the battery off won't kill my phone?

No, It won't kill your phone.
Is your phone a S4 I9500 or a S4 I9505?
What firmware were you trying to flash?

OK
It's I9505, and I was trying to flash MH1 (non company Spanish, without knox, 4.2.2). Now I'm waiting for a firmware to download and I'm going to try another procedure that I've found in a spanish forum. It's MF8 I think. If I can't solve this, I will take it to the technical service on monday.

If your phone had a later version of software (with KNOX bootloader) installed before, then downgrading through Odin will fail. Is that the case?

1. I9505 must be flashed with odin 3.09 (except cfautoroot)
2. anyway, if you have actually android 4.3, installing any stock 4.2.2 with any odin version will fail.

Currently I have 4.2.2, so theoretically if I flash 4.3 the problem would be fixed, right??
Btw, probably I will have to flash a firmware with Knox, is it possible to install roms (like cyanogenmod) with Knox activated??

If you actually have 4.2.2 without knox bootloader (are you really sure of this?) and you are trying to flash another 4.2.2 without knox bootloader, you shouldn't have any problem with odin 3.09 (others odin versions could fail in some situations...)

Why would you flash a 4.3 stock rom ? you should flash a 4.2.2 pre-rooted rom then install a triangle away to reset the binary and then install Philz recover (any recovery) then download any custom rom you want . and Stay away from flashing any stock 4.3 via odin because your gonna get infected! have a nice day.

4.2.2 with knox bootloader? Can you upload a picture of your download mode screen or write here if you see there any string similar to "warranty bit..." or "... Knox...." or whatever you read in download mode?

Knox kernel lock: 0x0

That's it. I've tried with a technical service package (pit, bootloader, csc, phone/modem, pda) with odin 3.07 and nothing happened.

Yes, you have the first knox rom which Samsung published (a 4.2.2 room with knox bootloader) , so you can only flash stock 4.3 roms, otherwise odin will give you error. Download and flash last 4.3 rom using odin 3.09 better than 3.07 (3.07 is full compatible with i9500, but isn't with i9505, 3.09 is).

Odin 3.09 was specifically made for LTE version of S4 (i9505). You could have inconsistent issues on any partition such as baseband partition.

This is the solution, 4.3+odin 3.09, it was kind of obvious. Thank you very much to all of you. I'm still with knox, but at least I've got a phone.

Help (Samsung Galaxy S4)

Hallo all
Today I accidentally deleted all my folders on my Samsung Galaxy S4....
After my phone turned off because of low battery I charged my phone and restarted it.
Now when my phone is starting, im getting the error Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please Select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I tried to install the Stock S4 rom and tried it with the PIT file but it's telling me FAIL! (Auth).
I don't know what to do know, it's an unbranded version.
Please help me! Thanks!

I tried that and it's saying i9505 does not support initialising
Edit: I can only boot into phone with CF Autoroot. But when I got to download mode then and try to install my stock rom, I get the FAIL! auth again. And then I have to boot with CF Autoroot again....
Can u boot into recovery or flash a custom one, then flash a custom rom ?

Well CF auto deleted the CW recovery, so it's on the stock recovery now.
I'm trying to install the CW recovery now.
One more question, I live in the Netherlands and my phone is dutch, is it possible to install the stock rom from another country on the i9505 or only the PHN(dutch) one?

Ok, other question, which stock ROM is AOSP GE 4.4 from Jamal rom based on?
And also, 3.09 is ok for flashing a rom, but if you are flashing cfautoroot with that version, you are doing it bad. Cfautoroot must be flashed with Odin 1.85, the version that chainfire (the cfautoroot author) includes inside the zip for cfautoroot. Other versions can damage the partitions. But anyway, let cfautoroot apart until you fix your problem and get boot into a stock rom. Please, answer my question.

Buf... how did you wanted to flash that? ? Anyway, if you are right and it is based on a mj5 stock rom (Android 4.3), this means you have a 4.3 bootloader and you are trying to flash a prior version. If this agree, you will see in download mode at top left of the screen the warranty bit (knox bit) set to 0x0 or 0x1. Is it?
If so, if you are trying to flash that file you posted it will give you fail, it would be normal. You must search for a 4.3 stock rom and flash it with Odin 3.09. You can use mk8 PHE from Spain for example.
But before do it, check if you have warranty bit.

Yes that's right I got a warranty bit: kernel on the leftside when my galaxy s4 boots.
And in the download mode:
knox kernel lock 0x0
knox warranty void 0x1
Edit:
I installed the germany 4.3 android stock rom MK8 on my phone and that's working atm. What is the difference between MJ and MK?
Is there any possibility to go back to the Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 unbranded stock kernel? I got another kernel installed now but I don't know how to go back to the origional one. <---- FIXED THIS
Only problem left now is that I can't find the Netherlands (PHN) 4.3 Android stock rom because hotfile is down -_- Any other way to get the Area PHN stock rom?

It sounds logical. Once you get 4.3 bootloader and flashed a custom ROM, your warranty bit got increased... (I also have 0x1 because I rooted it and it isn't a problem for me...)
I use to advice that with a new device as our S4 it is better to work with stock roms and kernel for some months. Once custom development kernels and roms get better than stock one, you can start to experiment with custom kernels and roms... In all my LG P970, Samsung S2 and Galaxy Tab 10.1 after some custom kernels and roms, I use right now CM10.1 in all devices; I am sure my S4 will ends its days with CM11 after trying some kernels in stock roms, but now it is so young...

I think that next time when I buy a new samsung or other android phone that I just keep the stock rom installed on it. Cuz I'm buying a new phone every year. But for now, thanks for helping! :good:

[Q] Knox Bootloader 0x0 Is there a way to install cwm zip files?

i have the the Knox bootloader with knox waranty void 0x0 and im rooted with kingo.

Hi,
No.
Yes, there is a way.
When you download using Odin, un select restart. On getting pass from Odin, remove battery and re insert. Get it to flash mode. This will install cwm. Job done. Rest as per other threads. Hope this helps.

Yes, last versions flash zip files, but you need to be installed a custom recovery, which could be flashed with mobile odin, maybe (not sure) increasing the Knox bit (because the recovery flashing, but because zip flashings)...

Ok, so the only problem with flashing different kernels and recoveries and whatnot with the newest samsung update is that knox will be set to 0x1? (For the 9505)
I've been reading some threads but haven't been able to find a definite answer on whether the bootloader is actually completely locked like in the latest S4 AT&T updates, where you can't install custom kernels or recoveries, or that you can actually flash anything and the only harm is the 0x1 on knox, which i don't care.
Are things flashable with the knox bootloader on the 9505 international/sim unlocked version of the s4?

Official firmware whitout Knox

Gals sorry if this was asked before, really sorry... i dont want to bother you..
I have some issues whit TWRP, the backup that i made of my official firmware (4.2.2 whitout knox) doesnt work.
The problem is that i installed a custom and now i dont know how to go back.
I know that in sammobile i can find the official 4.2.2 but ¿there is any way to install a 4.3 o 4.4.2 (oficial whitout knox)?
My head hurts.. after reading and reading i dont know what to do... i cant understand the modems and baseband things...
Cheers for the help
First, it depends on what firmware you're currently on what you can and can not do. Second, 4.3 and 4.4 both have Knox and there is none without it.
Sent from my Nexus 5
Thanks for the reply jd.
Right now im using C-Rom, i went from 4.2.2 stock to this custom (i did not flash anything else like modems or basebands).
Everything works fine but i want to return to stock.
So, ¿exist a stock rom (knox free) flashable vía twrp or CWM?
As i understand you.. ¿The only way to have 4.3 or 4.4 stock its vía official firmware whit knox?

If you want to return to stock, I'd user Odin and flash the 4.2.2 firmware. You can get that at sammobile.com

KNOX WARRANTY VOID on the GT-I9506 (Galaxy S4 LTE-A)

From reading around on the forum and asking on IRC I have tried to figure out exactly how KNOX works. This is my conclusion, but I am far from sure this is correct.
If someone can give me more information, I would be happy
On a GT-I9506 with the stock 4.2.2 bootloader, using ODIN to flash custom software does not do anything special since the 4.2.2 bootloader does not contain the KNOX functionality to burn the e-fuse.
On a GT-I9506 that has been upgraded and has the 4.3 bootloader, using ODIN to flash new unsigned software will burn the e-fuse.

Semi-correct, with 4.2.2 bootloader you doesn't have knox, but with 4.3 bootloader you have knox, but you can flash a new official rom with Odin without affect the knox status. It only will change to 0x1 if you flash something unnoficial with Odin, like a custom recovery, kernel, root, etc... but know you can root in 4.3 wirh towelroot.

Ah, yes. This is my understanding as well, I was unclear in my post. I will edit it to reflect this!

Yeah. It would be interesting to find out if you can downgrade the 4.3 bootloader to 4.2.2 after getting root with towelroot, without burning the KNOX e-fuse

[Q] stock rom for N910F via odin no knox flag on

hay' i have note n910f with stock rom but no samsung rom and now i want to change it to stock from samsung.
if i will burn via odin stock rom did my knox flag will change to 0x1?
sorry for my bad english and thank's to the helpars.
Yes, flashing anything via Odin will trip your KNOX flag to 0x1. If that was the question..
@quadlt
Your answer is wrong
Stock Rom means original ROM.
Did you have a original Note 4 with original Rom?
Did you flash anything before?
If you're device is untouched, you can flash ANY original Samsung ROM via Odin without triggering Knox to 0x1

I hope so to, but i have my doubts....
Are you sure? I really Mbolblthlk say yes and others Slatham you know that I will run Knox from personal experience? Just do not feel like losing warranty on a new device, thanks for the help.
Can someone tell me where i can download the stock ROM from for N910F. Many thanks!

rom for SM-N910F
Hi
I just bought note 4 SM-N910F and i came unrooted with vision-x n4 ROM. The problem with rom is that the finger print does not work and there iss no data usage. When i boot(from the first time) on the upper of the screen there is written : Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit: kernel. Searching on the web this shows from the bloatware as there is a custom rom. I used sam moble to find the firmware but dont know which one i am going to download. Searching the APof the cureent firmware it corresponds to the t mobile variant (sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910T/TMB/) firmware. Can someone help me which i have to choose. Attached there is the the curent CSC.
Did anybody try to flash stock firmware? did it trip knox? I have seen different answers to this question so want to be sure. Another thing is the flash counter that will definitely change and that does void warranty if I'm not mistaken? thanks
Ok, I say this one and for all, I burned stock with Odin and it doesn't trip Knox flag on,it safe.
