[Q] Updated - Pseudo Bricked my epic

Screen shows a picture of a cell phone and a computer with a yellow triangle.
Any way to get Odin to pick up on this to load the stock image back?

Yes, odin will work. Iv bricked my atleast 4 times.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Can you give me an idea how? I can't get into any other screen except this all black one with a white phone, yellow triangle, and white computer...I'm lost on this one - I never had an issue so far and this is my 3rd rooted android phone. I am far from noob.

Yep, got that screen a few times when first learning the in's and out of this phone.
Hold the #1 key on the slide out keyboard and press power to get into download mode. Use Odin to flash to stock and try again.

Ok - ODIN is giving me:

What gives here? This is my first samsung, so ODIN is new to me.

Well, ODIN gets to "File analysis" now and just sits there.
Any other ideas?

Odin is now sitting at <ID:0/010> param.lfs
hasn't moved in 4 or 5 minutes....worrying me.

Well since you're not a noob, then I probably don't need to tell you that you should have odin open and ready, then plug the phone in, and THEN boot into download mode. In that order. you need to boot the phone into d/l mode before it starts charging once its plugged in. good luck.

OK....
HOW did you get it working? Inquiring minds want to know.

Phone is working fine, but Odin says "There is no PIT partition" when I try to flash.

Phone is working fine, but Odin says "There is no PIT partition" when I try to flash.
I have a GT-I9505 with the MDA version firmware, region EVR.
I've flashed it previously, successfully, to the latest ME2 firmware, but then I installed Chainfire3D which soft-bricked it.
I recovered using Kies firmware recovery, did a factory reset/cache wipe, have rooted the phone again... but now Odin won't flash the phone!
It says "There is no PIT partition", and when I try to re-partition using the PIT file from this thread, it just says "complete(write) operation failed".
I've tried Odin 1.8, 3.04, 3.07... all the same.
The phone is currently working fine and is rooted! I just want to flash to a newer firmware, is all.
Any thoughts?

Flash .pit file with the firmware, not alone make sure re-partition is ticked

I was doing both those things. Strangely, it worked when I used another computer! Thanks anyway.

I am having similar problems. Any other suggestions?
I'm trying to root my S4 for the first time. Just had the S4 factory reset itself before starting this attempt.
Seems like the USB connection keeps resetting. I don't have this problem on any other device and I've tried swapping USB cords as well as USB ports. Tried both USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports. I keep getting the same problems. I've even tried including the PIT file for re-partitioning. Even the Kies connection keeps resetting. Kies trouble shooting the USB connection resulting in reloading some drivers but that didn't have any effect.

Now, searching lead me to a thread for I think the S3 and they were saying these kinds of problems were defective motherboards on the phone. Do I need to take my phone back to Verizon for warranty replacement? It's not even a week old yet.

For the record, I just convinced the local VZW store to swap me a NIB S4 as a warranty replacement. The new S4 is giving me the exact same problem so in all likelihood the phone is not my problem.
Going to try removing and reinstalling the drivers on the PC again.
Does USB debugging need to be checked / unchecked for ODIN to work?

NO NEED to check it. a lot of users brick their phones and can not boot to check usb debugging. so they went directly to odin flash and it was good to go :good:

USB debugging needs to be ticked.

OK, I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and still get the same problems. Any other ideas?

Yes, a number of times at every stage one would think it would make any difference. It didn't make any difference.
I did finally get my phone rooted. While I can't say for certain, it seems like the S4 needed to be booted normally, then connected via USB, then let Win7 auto install several drivers, then I initiated bhp090808's all-in-one root tool which rebooted the phone into ODIN mode. ODIN was then successful.
Contrast that with having the S4 disconnected from USB and manually booting into ODIN mode, then connect USB, then let Win7 install drivers, then initiate ODIN to start. That sequence gave me all the problems.
Thanks for the replies though. I do appreciate your willingness to help.

Solved same problem this way:
1) Connected phone by original cable directly to rear USB port
2) Turn off Kies (no need to uninstall)
3) Stopped 2 kies processes which still run even if kies is off.
4) There must be item "Samsung Android Phone" and cascaded item "Samsung android ADB interface" in device manager.
5) Enable USB Debugging in phone.
6) I had unchecked item "Check installed apps from ADB by USB" - Not sure if it is necessary.
7) When you connect phone there has to be popup with question: "Allow USB debugging from this computer?" followed by computer signature.
Check always, answer yes.
8) Use old Odin 3 V. 1.85

Well I did thgis ... searched another firmware mewer same carrier .. and I rebooted the Pc ..Nothing
But on a forum external some dude sayd ok .. If you use front USB ports theese are coted as external USB and they don't are recognized as internal USB hubs so change to a back side usb and will work I did and now after waiting like 5 minutes the process started my phone is under process restarting now ... And Voloa .. the new firmware,

Thanks for that suggestion. Switching to the back USB ports worked for me.

Why do you only think its an i9505? Isnt that something you should confirm before buying?
The model number is in the about phone section
Why have you flashed a rom when you arent sure what model you have?
Is kies installed?
What firmware was the phone originally on?

Thx for replay! so my phone when i bought it was on the 4.4.2 Kit Kat and that is the firmwere that i wanted to flash to it, i am saying that I am not shure what model is becouse in the model section it was writen i9505 but I was not 100% shure....
when ODIN gived me the error that i showed you the phone could not boot up any more, only the LED blinked permanently with blue so i have flashed with succes using ODIN the CWM and using CWM i have sucessfuly instaled Cyanogenmod now, but i wanted on the original stock Samsung firmwere .
I have tried reflashing now but no succes
P.S :
I dont think that the phone was on the original 4.4.2 by samsung becouse it had a wierd bootlogo. and in the rom i could delete stock apps
AND YES i have KIES instelled

In the download mode you can find your model number. So make sure you have an i9505 before you flash.
Almost all Odin errors can be resolved by the following:
- Different usb port
- Different cable
- Reinstall drivers
- Make sure Kies is not running in the background.

thx

[please help] galaxy s5 firmware issue!

Hey, if anyone could help me with this, I would love it. I NEED this phone working again and every source I've found either doesn't mention my model or doesn't work.
I tried rooting my US Cellular Galaxy S5 SM-G900R4 using CF Auto Root and Odin 3.10.6. I followed all the steps and made sure I started the process in download mode, 75% battery, did it in AP, unchecked re-partition, and also had the correct root file. It was going fine until it got stuck on "CACHE". I kept waiting until it eventually said "FAIL". My S5 was still showing the blue download bar but I figured it was OK anyway. I clicked "RESET" and it did. I unplugged my phone and then tried turning it on but it came up with a yellow triangle in between a desktop logo and my phone logo and it said "Firmware Update Encountered an Error. Select Restore in Kies and Try Again". It does go into download mode but besides that nothing else. It's just stuck there.
After some research I found out you could fix the issue with Samsung Kies, so I installed it and everything looked fine and the drivers installed so I connected the phone and it just stuck on the "connecting" screen forever. I unplugged and tried Samsung Kies 3 but it immediately said "phone unsupported". On Kies I tried going into the update initialization mode and I typed the model number but it said the S/N was incorrect. On the back of this phone it shows the IMEID (H) number and the IMEID (D) and I tried both...
So the last method I had was using ODIN 3.10.6 to flash the stock ROM. My phone was not rooted when this whole thing happened but it does have USB debugging enabled and yes, the Samsung USB drivers are installed. Anyway, I downloaded the stock ROM for my model, and I started it through AP and everything but it immediately failed and said this:

try a fresh download. where did you get yours from? sammobile.com is the most trustworthy place, its slow from there, but theyre legit. You probably have a bad download, its the most frequent cause of issues like these

Problems Flashing

T-Mo On5 Pro (I think lol
So I flashed pegasis and reborn. Turns out that they both have sound issues and the camera doesn't work on either.
So I tried to flash the recovery from one of the other threads, nothing.
Tried to reflash pagasis and reborn, nothing.
I can get to TWRP which is awesome but now even ODIN can't push anything.

I had this issue as well and what i did was use samsung kies to go back to stock since phone got semi-bricked and i could only enter download mode, since you have access to twrp you can try and flash the superstars rom which is stable and pretty much bug free

Great now I have "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software" on the On5.
I have to grab that to fix it so I can use Kies? or do I just use that now? :crying:
EDIT: So I can still drop it into download mode. But Kies and Smart Switch recognize that something is getting added. What am I missing for recovery? ...
Also - SOS send halps!

I've also been there, place your On5 on download mode and go to kies, Tools, firmware upgrade and initialisation it will ask for device model and s/n (everything can be found behind the battery) oh and type everything in CAPS

I'm sorry friend but I have no idea to what to do next I've semi-bricked this phone more times than I can count and managed to bring it back to life every time, maybe it's the variant? I have the sm-g550t or t-mo variant..
