I followed your instructions but it still gets stuck on the logo

I have done everything I could. I also tried to install CWM but it gives me this error "secure check fail : recovery"

okay for those with the same problem as mine, I finally managed to fix this problem by going to recovery, then wiping data factory reset.

i've the same error,
it was because i use bobcat v2 with abyss kernel so after i would use echoe V5 but reflash a stock rom MJ7 to clean my phone
but ===> error the message just apear
I fixe the problem with a flash stock kernel ^^

1. I recommend u do a FACTORY RESET (remember make a backup of ur data folders and SMS before do this process). You will recover the sound maybe. If that no works continue with next step.
2. Full wipe (You can do this in CUSTOM RECOVERY or STOCK RECOVERY).
3. Flash again android 4.4.2 stock rom :highfive:.

[Q] ClockWorkMod is not working

Hi,
I have Note 3 - SM-N900. with ROM SER [Russia].
After flashing the ClockWork, It's not working, see the attachment! I can't choose ZIP file.

Reflash it, that looks like the stock recovery. Make sure you flash the correct one for your device.

Does odin shows 'pass' message?. After successful cwm flash, you phone will reboot and automatically enter cwm. Then after some times it will attempt to reboot to OS. If it ask to flash stock recovery then choose no

Extract the attached .zip and flash the extracted file "recovery.tar.md5" using Odin.

bro if anything goes wrong you have to just flash the official stock rom via odin through download mode and now again your are in your original state so no need for backup
Hope this helps.

I just try using Odin 3.07 to flash a original stock rom. However, during the start of flashing, Odin display a 'No Pit File' and stopped.
Moreover, flashing Chainfire or PhilipZ rom just failed.
What's wrong?
I've no problem using Odin before.

The firmware listed is the same as what my Telco provides. Still cannot flash with Odin with the same error message.
Do you think is my phone is locked? If so, how to check its status?

Half bricked galaxy s5! G900h

So the situation is that my phone is not booting up not in recovery mode and not in normal mode BUT it is however BOOTING INTO DOWNLOAD MODE .
now i thought maybe i will just reinstall the stock file and get back to business but it is still not booting up after flashing stock file properly as well in odin it goes as pass 100% but it does not boot back .
SINCE RECOVERY mode is not working i could not flash a custom rom
all this happened when i installed a boot logo changer zip from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65599504&postcount=22 , after that it hasnt been working !
please help @yash92duster or anyone else with such knowledge!

That link you attached is good
its the one many G900H users using
no one else faced the issue of bricking the device
maybe you must have dirty flashed several roms so it must have bricked
Try repartition with PIT
no other way i think

Keeps failing

do this
use laptop ( shutdown once and turn it back on and use )
use different usb 2.0 cable
use new odin application
Use New MM based Firmware
if it doesnt boot
then flash PIT alone in odin
then if stock recovery comes clear data and cache
and then install twrp and flash new roms
if not work i dont have any other solutions
:good::good:
good luck

tried but no show!

looks like the guy is dead !
any idea on how much it could cost me ?

if it has any sign of life its ususally recoverable .
links to fw u have tried, were they for the g900h?
which odin ver did u try
pull battery for long time, say 10mins b4 going into dl mode.
just flash bl and modem, search xda for howto.
did u try kies?
u can try usb jig or jtag as last resort
