Most likely you tried to flash the wrong firmware/rom for your phone and that's why it failed.
Your best bet is to download the official stock firmware from http://SamMobile.com
and Odin flash it. Make 100% sure that the firmware you download is the right one
for your specific phone's model.
Good luck!

What version of Android u had before flash and what are u trying to flash??
Maybe u can't flash because u had 4.3(KNOX) and u are trying to flash a 4.2 that is possible?
Ops sorry, Its older or newest this version of Android 4.3 that u had?

I installed few days ago 4.4.2, and CP_I9505XXUFNA5 and BL_I9505XXUFNA5. It has to much bugs so I decided to go back.
I tried to install stock rom from SamMobile with PDA in Odin and got this error.
I flashed just now TWR and GSM_Modem_XXUEMFK_and_LTE_Modem_XXUMFK and some custom rom 4.3 (google edition).
It installed but system keep crashing. I tried couple of roms and same situation. It is crushing all the time.
Could it be problem with bootloader

You can no longer downgrade to stock 4.3 mate,thats why your getting this error.. flash the 4.4.2 leak and that should fix your problem.

Oh yes! I forget, I installed FNA1 not FNA5 and i could come back to 4.3 because FNA1 dont have new bootloader... I rode that FNA5 have new bootloader and u can go back to 4.3.
The best choice is how said @Repulsa , U must install FNA5 and after install Philz-touch, CWM or TWR and install any 4.4.2
I hope that we helped to you! :good:

And in it says fail on ODIN. And now when I boot up I can't get to my stock OS
only to a screen where it says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please Select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I Can't use my S4 any more . I was wondering if it was because I had a locked bootloader, but the I337M varient should be unlocked right?
I also had the new MG1 firmware before I tried all this, but I saw alot of other MG1 users used this method.
PLEASE HELP, I would be forever grateful.
Are you sure you used the correct version for your model and are you sure you didn't have "repartition" checked in ODIN?

Completely sure.
Can you boot into download mode? If so I would Odin stock firmware and see if that helps. I have used the auto root on a couple different devices and have had no issues.

Try it a few more times. I've used odin where I got "failed" and then after a few tries got it to work.

I've tried it 10 times so far with different versions of ODIN just to be sure.. No change. Would me having a USB 1.0 have anything to do with it?
I really have no idea what to do.. I have 1 year warranty left with this phone, and me trying to CF-Auto root was the only thing I've done that could have voided my warranty, but it failed and now that I'm stuck would I still be okay if I took it in for warranty?

agreed. or at least a different usb port. are you using the cable that came with your device? i'm assuming you had usb debugging switched on.
So i've tried it on another computer, but since my device is in download mode it doesn't install any samsung drivers to properly identify and read the S4, so it doesn't work. Can anyone please give me some direct links to download the proper usb drivers on windows for my S4.

Thanks to everyone that helped me troubleshoot and gave me options in figuring out the next step. I used another computer and installed the drivers on to that computer ran odin and cf auto root method and it worked like a charm. :victory:
On the first computer I used, I'm almost completely sure I had the wrong S4 Drivers installed and thats why it didn't work.

Take a deep breath, and try another cable. I find a large portion of flash errors are caused by junky usb cables. If that fails, try another usb port and another pc entirely, if possible. Let us know some more info, someone has already asked, more details the better. Good luck.

Knox does trip if you root.... not sure there is any method that doesn't...... guess if its important... do some research.. I couldn't find one when I did mine... used CF-auto..... on i337m

Have I bricked it?

Well, first of all, your bootloader has been upgraded to Kitkat's.
So you can't flash a JB ROM.
Keep trying different Kitkat ROMs.
Try the leaked one.
And if you are willing to trip knox, you can use a custom ROM.
Got it working! What I did was
Download the Firmware you require, in my case for the UK Vodafone Version for the SM-N9005 4.4.2 I used this
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=25990
I then downloaded Odin 3.07 as 3.09 wouldnt work for me!
http://www.android.gs/download-odin-3-07/
Now this alone wouldnt work for me then I found a similar thread that provided some info.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2662373
On this thread they link to a .pit file to flash with the stock ROM, I used this along with the Firmware I downloaded earlier.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50614669&postcount=77
So now it would work and I am succesfully on 4.4.2, now once its all running and I got the the Samsung Logo I took the battery out, booted in recovery mode, cleared the cache and the performed a factory reset... Once the phone resarted I went through the normal process of setting it up and viola...
Ill add that although it says it was UK Vodafone mine was spanish? I dont know wether that was because of the .pit file? Ill let the experts decide on that one..
Simple thing though, change the language and remove the vodafone app that came with it in spanish...
Hope its of some help to people.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2662373
On this thread they link to a .pit file to flash with the stock ROM, I used this along with the Firmware I downloaded earlier.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50614669&postcount=77
So now it would work and I am succesfully on 4.4.2, now once its all running and I got the the Samsung Logo I took the battery out, booted in recovery mode, cleared the cache and the performed a factory reset... Once the phone resarted I went through the normal process of setting it up and viola...
Ill add that although it says it was UK Vodafone mine was spanish? I dont know wether that was because of the .pit file? Ill let the experts decide on that one..
Simple thing though, change the language and remove the vodafone app that came with it in spanish...
Hope its of some help to people.

[Q] soft bricked i9505, odin keeps failing

hello everyone
i rooted my s4 a while back, then unrooted by flashing XSA-I9505XXUEMK9-20131212101727 through odin
then i decided to root it again, it worked but this time the wifi stopped working so i flashed XSA-I9505XXUEMK9-20131212101727 (same firmware) again, except everytime i do it, odin gives me a fail
i used a pit file to flash with XSA-I9505XXUEMK9-20131212101727 (same firmware again), except during the middle of this process, the connection between my cable and phone broke
tried pit + XSA-I9505XXUEMK9-20131212101727 (same thing) on odin 3.09 after the first attempt, it gives me a fail and this

Although this message your phone is in download mode
change usb port and try again
try different port
Fixed it somehow........
actually disregard all that, i flashed the pit file by itself in odin 3.09 and everything works again O_O
i'm missing an app which is weird...
i still can't reflash XSA-I9505XXUEMK9-20131212101727 through odin though, it still gives me a fail, which ends up ruining everything again, so i reflash the pit and now this happens
i did a factory reset, now samsung keyboard keeps crashing and the menu and back button do nothing
wth is happening ._.

After rebooting from the fail it gives a screen saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" and I can't open recovery but I can get into download mode again. I'm using an SM-G900F. Please help, I'm not a fan of £350 paperweights.

I've looked before but I've never managed to find one for my model, maybe I'm just dumb and not looking in the right place. Also I've heard that PIT files can potentially brick your phone so I'm a little hesitant
Well from the looks of the ROM name you're trying to flash, it's a G900F
PIT file is very easy to find for that model

You're a saint mate, thank you so much, I used the 16gb 900f pit from the link you gave alongside one of the ROMs in your signature and its back to working order
Nice one

Hello, i recently got a used s5 running 5.0 lollipop Poland latest build. I tried to root it and install customer recovery but was met with that recovery is seandroid enforcing something error. I looked on google found a workout to pull the battery out as soon as Odin finishes flashing Root. The situation is that i have rooted the phone and have also installed TWRP but when i press power +vol up + home to enter recovery it still does display that seandroid error for 3,4 seconds and then boots into recovery.....and i am not able to root my device normally (without pulling battery immediately). My question is that if i download that PIT file from the link you gave and flash it with odin will it delete my EFS or modem folder? ...will all these issues be resolved if i flash S5 16 GB pit file?

[Q] Requesting a PIT file for SM-T530NU

I've done everything to restore to stock firmware. I used odin-v3.10.6 and Kies 3. They both stop at 4%. My firmware is T530NUUEU1BOE5_T530NUXAR1BOE5_XAR.zip. But I can flash TWRP-2.8.7 via Odin just fine. But I am running out of ideas.
T530NUUEU1BOE5_T530NUXAR1BOE5_HOME.tar.md5 (2,225,735,835 bytes)
MD5: 5358d7e9247803a164d9a8cbc713bc55

MD5: 5c910ca3b4599971669cddf445fef8dc
This is why I'm requesting a PIT file or another solution.
Thanks

Try taking off the .md5 extension, or try the Canadian Firmware file, or try KitKat instead.
Also try doing a factory reset in recovery before flashing the firmware file

Some reason TWRP-v2.8.7 can't mount /system when I do a wipe. Is there a way to do it manually and wipe it myself?

I tried everything you said and I got no where. TWRP complained that the file system was read only.

I'm trying it right now. I'm just confused why Odin stops at system.img.ext4. Is the partition corrupt because its read only? But I installed a custom ROM (BlissPOP) and it worked fine.

Service firmware [SM-T530NUUEU1BOE5_XAR_SERVICE_LP.zip] didn't work. It stopped at 4% again. But I have 5.0.1 and not 4.4. TWRP won't let me check "system" under mount.

That's where Kies 3 stopped at. It stops in system.img.ext4 [Odin-v3.10.6] at the beginning of it. But it does process it but very little of it.

Why Kies . Close it . Use only Odin with him guide . Go to dounload mode . Connect to PC . In Odin download unpack service firmware (BL , AP , CSC ) to their button . And start . Please copy Odin log to me .

Correct, kies is awful don't use it. Also use Odin v3.10 or 3.09, not 1.85
Boy, do I feel very stupid...
It was the cords. I had 2 extension USB cords attached to the cord for the Tab 4 and used a different USB port.
Now, the service and the regular firmware works now.
Thanks for everything.
