i will tell all the information here..i have my samsung gt-i9505 carrier locked to globe telecom here in the philippines..
i tried to factory unlock here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683 but i have no luck on it..i have change my baseband several time via odin but still i pin request always shows after i reboot..i have android version 4.2.2, stock firmware DXUBMF8.
so i stopped from there..i moved on to try to root my s4,before having this phone i had owned a s4 factory unlock and i have had rooted it but i already forgot how to do it again..so started anew by looking again at forum threads,i have tried omega custom rom but if i goes to recovery mode my screen only shows the following options: reboot system now, apply update from ADB, apply update from external storage, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, apply update cache..my question here was,is this the default recovery mode of s4 now?because i can still recall that my last s4's default recovery menu shows with advance option with wipe dalvik cache etc..and my recovery menu now shows no apply update from internal storage..when i tried flashing the custom rom save on my sd card: apply update>omega*something*.zip..it all well done but after rebooting my phone didn't any stuff from that custom rom nor rooted at all..can you help me solving this?
and lastly this is my main problem now,i searched again the thread and went down to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824 i downloaded the pre-rooted rom XXUBMF8..flashed it with odin PDA..passed and from then my phone was stocked every time i reboot to samsung logo..
i have tried to flash again on a stocked rom. odin>PHONE>(the stock rom)>start>passed then reboot it still stocked to samsung logo..

The recovery your talking about is cwm not default s4 recovery you'll find that recovery here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281367
After its installed try wiping data then cache then going into advanced and wiping dalvik cache
S4 Info

did you try from the stock rom to go to recovery many and wipe to factory default again...
Have you tried to install a recovery like Philz and see if you can access the file system of your GS4.
You'll also find more wiping option
Edit: oh great some1 posted before me.
also try to do it from your official rom

In the Thread you point out... read AGAIN about PIT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Download the PIT and follow the exact procedure... it's not like flashing a new firmware so read which boxes you check
Try the PIT file with / without the firmware
check also this thread... in case you have a pit related error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283919
I'm sure you have all you need to recover your phone.
When you will have recovered your phone, update this thread saying you solved your problem.
check also this thread... in case you have a pit related error.
OH, don't forget to update my thanks counter

Hello,
I saw an answer to this problem in another thread. You have to swipe the phone by starting it with VOLUME UP + HOME + POWER, and then whatever options you have to swipe everything.

Problem SOLVED!!!
hey guys i have solved my greatest problem since i started rooting back on my N7100,my 1st s4 and now my new s4..
thank you for all who helped me,after more than 24hours of reading and waiting for you replies and doing some intervention on my s4,i have recover it..i will post here how i did it for reference for others who might encounter this problem same as mine:
first of all i have noticed this just after successfully revived my phone, you have to WIPE THE DATA/FACTORY REFORMAT via recovery mode before and after doing any firmware update,then i just removed my battery may be a minute and put it back again every time i do flashing..
i used odin version 1.85 not version 3.04..i first chose the pit file and flash it.(when i tried flashing the pit and stock rom together it always ended up to fail)..so i decided to chose to flash the pit file only using odin v1.85(it automatically ticked the "repartition option on this odin version" then it passed..after that as i have said remove battery,wipe data,then i removed again the battery,then put it back and do download/odin mode on my phone,then i flashed stock rom from www.sammoble.com, i searched for globe carrier since my phone was locked on that carrier, then after 2-3minutes(be patient and don't do anything while waiting) my phone backed to life!!!

You didn't have any custom recovery installed?
Try to boot into download mode and flash TWRP by using Odin.
Make sure the driver has been installed.

How can u go without any custom recovery!
U can find the correct TWRP for your device here: http://teamw.in/twrp_view_all_devices
I personally use CWM recovery, but they are both quite good.
Make sure the correct version of TWRP for your device and the correct driver installed.

Thanks for the Link.
For Germany I Download: openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.8-hltetmo.img.tar

What region is your Note 3 from? What firmware version are u using?
Go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/?page=1 and search for your stock rom, then flash it via Odin.
Hope that helps.

S5 Active (G870A) stuck at AT&T logo

I was having issues with the WiFi on my phone so I made backups to the SD card, removed it and did a factory reset on the phone. I'm not sure what it was running at the time, but not lolipop. It now boots to AT&T logo and heats up until I pull the battery out (I've waited upwards of 30 mins). I tried flashing stock and 0F3 roms with odin and I get the error:

And on the phone it says "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1"
I've tried flashing with PIT, tried flashing the boot loader, G870AUCU1ANE4_Full_Odin, and G870A_OC5_Bootloader, to no avail. I also downloaded Samsung Kies 3 and tried to do Firmware upgrade and initialization, which also didn't work. It comes up to Firmeware emergency recovery and asks for a recovery code (which I don't have). I've also tried from recovery mode to factory data reset and also tried to flash the roms from external SD. Is there anything else I can try or something I am missing that can get this working? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Guess no one can help me. Lame. :[

I'm just trying to find root package so I can downgrade my active and root it. But I'm having trouble finding it. Can you give me any help please?
S5 Active

My little cousin soft bricked (same issue).
My little cousin said he went into SU and did "full unroot" and after the reboot got stuck on the AT&T logo, the kid brought the phone to me in search of help.
I've tried every which way I could think of using odin to try and reflash everything under the sun and cannot find a solution. I can get into download and recovery fine but I cannot flash anything: odin flashes fail except when I when I use odin to flash boot.tar (AP), modem.bin (CP), recovery.tar (BL), it's one of the few times the flash is a pass instead of a fail; recovery won't authenticate any roms.
stumbled on this thread and downloaded an official rom but flashing fails after authentication:

}
He said he was on 5.0, stock rooted stock rom - he told me he was sick and tired of the 5.1 update notification and tried to unroot to update and now it's soft-bricked.
here's a screen of all the firmwares and softwares and roms I've tried flashing every which way possible
Smart Switch and Kies3 asks for a recovery code (no idea where to get that); Sammobile only has FW for 4.3, this phone was at 5.0 - my understanding is that it's very difficult to go back from 5.0. I was thinking I could root again and then install custom recovery but can I even do that with no rom installed? any help would be much appreciated!

And on the phone it says "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1"
I've tried flashing with PIT, tried flashing the boot loader, G870AUCU1ANE4_Full_Odin, and G870A_OC5_Bootloader, to no avail. I also downloaded Samsung Kies 3 and tried to do Firmware upgrade and initialization, which also didn't work. It comes up to Firmeware emergency recovery and asks for a recovery code (which I don't have). I've also tried from recovery mode to factory data reset and also tried to flash the roms from external SD. Is there anything else I can try or something I am missing that can get this working? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nope, never could find any more information on it. AT&T just told me to file an insurance claim that it was lost, and I got an s6 active for 99$ instead of a new s6 active.

Use a different usb port/different usb cable. That will solve it.

@MichalPlays Try using Odin 307.

downgrade Samsung s4 [GT-I9505] from Lolipop 5.0.1 to kitkat 4.4.2
Please read the entire post and don’t skip any steps, note that we cannot be blamed in case something goes wrong and you brick the phone.
1)-Make sure that your phone version is GT-I9505 (if you don't know how to check ; remove your battery then you will find)
2)-Download[/B] " SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones" and setup, if you dont have it already

-Download "BL" ; "Bootloader_GNK2.tar" [2.12 MB]
-Download "CP"; "Modem_GNK2_FULL.tar" [61.46 MB]
3)- your phone must be Charged 70% or more, and Rooted, if you have Samsung Kies; reboot your pc then end Kies from CPU (Ctrl + Alt + Supp).
4)-extract Odin and Start a program as an administrator then put only the PDA file which you've already downloaded and extracted before "([email protected])"
-Disable « Auto Reboot » and « Re-Partition »
-Enable « F. Reset Time » only
-Reboot your phone on Download Mode ( Power off the Phone completely, Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons, all at the same time.
Release the buttons only when the ‘Warning!!’ message appears.

Your device will now show a green Android with the ‘Downloading… Do not turn off target’ text listed under it.).
-Connect your device with your PC and check "Added Message" and « ID:COM » in Odin
-Start
5)-Once you have "PASS" Plug out your Phone, and Reboot again in "Download Mode",
-Reset Odin
-Enable « Auto Reboot »and « F. Reset Time » only
-Put « Bootloader_GNK2.tar » on "BL"
-Put « Modem_GNK2_FULL.tar » on "CP
-Plug in your Phone and check "Added Message" and « ID:COM » if it doesn't work; restart Odin.
-Start to Downgrade

Ok then we can probably rule that out.
Are you using the original cable? Did you try different cables?

Yeah you can do that. Flash the latest TWRP. Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing with Odin.

Soft Bricked S4

*****************Thread can be closed as issue has been resolved*****************
I think I have soft bricked my phone.
I tried this tutorial and everything went according to the instructions except that the wifi couldn't be turned on.
So I opened a thread asking for help regarding my wifi, I was advised to flash a custom ROM (Android 5.0.1 Lollipop SDK 21) thru TWRP but I must have done something wrong because the phone was stuck in Android System Recovery.
Then I was advised to flash the original firmware thru Odin (Android 4.2.2) and that's where I think the brick happened.
The phone can go into download mode but there is a gray line that says "Write protection: Enable" and everything I try to flash thru Odin gives the same fail error:
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Urgent help is much appreciated as I have no other phone and I have been incommunicated for a week+ now
UPDATE:
I just tried to go into Android System Recovery just now it worked! I swear I wasn't able to. It says on top:
LRX22C.I337UCSGOK3 (I was on NB1, where could have this come from?)
And has a couple extra options I had never seen before (last 3 or 4 from the list:
reboot system now (tried it and gets stuck on Samsung logo)
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery logs
Enable cp logging
Disable cp logging
At the end of the recovery screen there are 2 lines in red:
failed to mount "/system" (Invalid Argument)
E: failed to mount /system (Invalid Argument)

What is the model # in download mode?

It says:
Product Name: SGH-I337
PS: Sorry I didn't specify because I thought this forum section was only that model.

The bootloader on the sgh-i337 is locked while the bootloader on the sgh-i337m is unlocked. which means you cannot flash TWRP or CWM to the sgh-i337.
Look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-to-update-to-i337oc3-5-0-1-keeproot-t3075814 and note the following comments from that thread.
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, and Stock Recovery.
3. No need to wipe prior to flashing! The ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset.
4. If you are not already rooted (or to unbrick) you must first flash the I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.tar (use Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+).​

Mine is not the "M" version.
What am I supposed to get from those notes? Are you suggesting I follow the steps in that thread?
I'm not too technical, but I can follow steps.

If you are to unbrick you must first flash the I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.tar (use Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+)

What bootloader are you on? Only the MDL bootloader can use the 4.2.2 Odin firmware.

It seems that I already had tried this because when I extracted the file it had to be replaced on my Desktop. Anyways I tried it again and it said the same thing:
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

UPDATE:
Somehow I can go into recovery now and it says LRX22C.I337UCSGOK3 and unable to mount /system. Please refer to first post for complete info about this.

You tried using different usb cables and usb ports?

I have successfully flashed stuff using this cable. I do swicth usb ports every time I get a fail just to make sure.
I really think the fail is due to the "Write Protection: Enabled" legend that appears on my screen as it wasn't there before and I was able to flash without mayor issues.
I'll try using a new cable now but I don't think I'll get a different result.
Will post the entire logs when I do.

You were on the OK3 bootloader. Now you're on the NB1 bootloader. You're stuck with using safe strap recovery and can only boot custom ROMs based on touchwiz as your bootloader is locked and can no longer be exploited with loki doki.
