Hi folks,
Having searched the forums I couldn't find an answer.
The problem I'm getting is when I get into download mode. I see the normal green android icon but at the top there is a grey caption saying: Write protection: Enabled.
I've been trying to flash twrp custom recovery but odin tries to do it and at the end it tells me success:0 failed:0.
That's all strange enough as previosly I managed to root the s4 using chainfire's Autoroot.
Could anyone tell me why is this happening and how to jump over it and install TWRP recovery.
//edit
I didn't check before I rooted the device but now I can't access stock recovery.
Cheers.
Ps. the device is: rooted i9505 running XXUAMDC stock rom, network: Three UK.
Attached is a screenshot of what I mean.
Thank you.
Didn't the TWRP site suggest using GooManager to install if you're rooted? Maybe give that a shot.
My unbranded UK s4 also said write protection enabled however I've had no problem installing twrp recovery.
Flashed via odin after putting phone into download mode... Have twrp in pda and it's checked in the box next to it...

I have the same issue. I'm stock XXUAMDE with CF-ROOT.
I haven't tried to flash TWRP but I can't boot into stock recovery.
It says 'booting recovery' in blue but then just hangs.
Have you tried using Super SU app and unrooting?
Ok.
I tried using GOOmanager, it cannot find suitable recovery for my device (which is strange as you may find it through TWRP web page).
When I choose in GOO to reboot to recovery it actually gets me to stock recovery (I still can NOT get into recovery using power+home+UP)
When i try to flash TWRP using (newly discovered via GOO) stock recovery it looks like that:
There is a broken android icon (see 1st attached file) and the text
-reboot system now
-apply update via ADB
[.....]
# MANUAL MODE #
Applying Multi-CSC
Applied the CSC-Code : H3G (btw H3G is my carrier, three UK)
Successfully applied multi-CSC
when I choose the recovery file to flash I'm getting response that E:\signature verification failed
Again everything I've done with the phone was CFroot, that is it. No custom rom etc or other playing with it.

I've got EXACTLY the same behaviour. I discovered GOO manager allowed me to boot into stock recovery.
Thanks for your interest.

If you're having problems check the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266336
It's the same method I used to root my phone and flash TWRP. (I too have write protection enabled)
write protection enabled means nothing
I have the exact same thing written on mine.
I have CF-Auto-Rooted mine AND TWRP 2.5 placed on mine, both using ODIN method.
No issues at all - both work perfectly fine.

Try using just the Vol Up+Power. Once the phone vibrates, let go of the power but keep holding the up key until you see something appear on the screen. That works on my non-rooted phone to get into recovery.
Hiya
Just for your information.
I've done factory reset, it preserved root access (which I found strange) and now I've managed to flash twrp recovery (which in my view is way too much touch sensitive )
Thanks for all the replies.

Hi All,
Just got my galaxy s4 i9505 with baseband XXUAME2. Have been trying to root this using CFROOT via odin numerous times but each time it fails. The error message includes "write operation failed" and "No PIT partion".
I have downloaded the correct PIT file and tried again but the same problem again.
I have further tried to flash pre-rooted firmware and another stock firmware but again - nothing I do seems to work.
Have tried the factory reset as well but again does not work.
Have tried flashing using motochopper method but also does not work.
Was hoping if someone could kindly extend his/her expertise - I am completely clueless at this point..
Ok for those getting the following error using Odin,
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004> Removed!!
<ID:0/004> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I was getting the same errors whenever I tried to flash anything and couldn't figure out why. Now I seem to have sorted it.
Try this.
DO NOT HAVE ODIN OPEN YET
Stop KIES on your PC if it is on.
1) Put your phone into Download mode, (Home, Vol Down, Power at same time).
2) Connect your USB to PC/Laptop and phone.
3) Press UP on your phone.
4) now, open ODIN. <---only open AFTER your have pressed UP on your phone. COM and "Added" should be showing.
5) Flash what you need to flash.
(I noticed previously when I had Odin open, then pressed UP, it would show as "Added" and a Com would show, but I would ALWAYS get the Pit error and a Red FAIL)
I have now tried this method several times on the trot, flashed CWM with success, (where as it was always failing previously), and re-flashed other ROMS with success each time.
Hope this helps others.

First time i tried to install a custom recovery on my S4 I9505 LTE. With Odin.. It didn't work..
I knew about heimdall.. And i gave that a try. And it worked perfectly. The one thing that's a bit weird.. After it first worked through heimdall. I could flash any custom recovery through Odin. But I think you should give heimdall a try..
Here is a link to how to install CWM on the cyanogenmod wiki: wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jfltexx#Installing_a_custom_recovery_on_Galaxy_S4_.28International_LTE.29 (I can't post links yet. So i just removed the http)
i flashed modern , and, it is fail, what wrong
[/url][/IMG]
my phone have this entry : "write protection : enable"
on my phone is also 'write protected- enable' but odin and cwm work fine
Hi guys!
It was a stupid move for me to check Nand erase all option, but i did it!
At first i was not able to go in to recovery menu, only in to donwload mode.
I flashed only a.pit file via Odin 3.09 and then i was able to get in to the Recovery mode - ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.7.
When i tried to wipe data/factory reset or to install zip i am gettinf error messages "Error mounting /data" or "Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure"
Then i tried to flash the stock 4.4.2 firmware via Odin, but i am getting FAIL message on the NAND WRITE step.
What i have to do now, to get back my phone in working order ?
Thank you in advance!
If it was me I would just flashed 4.2.2 firmware MDM (which have no bootloader files)
then 4.4.2
But this is just my opinion
so many times I fix my phone with this
but Knox on my phone was tripped
Currently Knox is 0x0 on my phone and all official and do not bother with custom ROMs because it makes no sense (they do not offer anything except headaches)

I can't flash it, because i am getting only:
Code:
<ID:0/004> boot.img
<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
UPDATE!!!!
I have managed to flash new rom. I just checked again Nand erase option, this time with PIT and firmware in odin and it got passed!
But now i am in bootloop! The device is loading to the Samsung logo and it is freezing on it for a minute or two, then it is turning off.
Also i can't access the recovery!
UPDATE 2!!!
Finally, everything is fine runing!
I have flashed a stock recovery and i was able to get in to it and to wipe /data and /cache and i've got out of the bootloop!
So to summ it:
1. You have to download a propriet PIT file and firmware.
2. In Odin you have to load both of them and to check this options: Autoreboot, F.Reset Time and NAND ERASE ALL! Yes, you have to check Nand erase all, again!
3. If you got stuck in bootloop after the above steps, you have to get in to recovery and delete /data and /cache!
Hey guys, I have the 910v I tried to manually update with Odin to 5.1.1. This isnt rooted or unlocked. Odin failed with the following error on my phone:
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [tz]Fused 2 > Binary 1
I have tried the VZW Software repair with no luck, as well as PIT file. Please help me get this thing working again! It just boots to a screen saying Software update failed and to run repair software on computer.

Thanks for the reply. I wish I would have saw that earlier. I ended up fixing it by re-flashing the PIT file.
HI dev,i have just used this phone in about a month .a few days ago i have decided to root this phone,i am using the odin method .it roots very well untill i have accidently opened the recovery mode and a message appears 'custom binary blocked by frp' wth.and then i downloaded the samsung kies and try to recover my phone but its failed on detecting my device.and then i will use the odin method to flash the official rom on this phone.i was wondering if the proccess will be interupted by the frp lock again.please answer me.thanks in advance
Go to developer options and on OEM unlock and then do ....
I came across the same issue.
Solution:
1. Remove all google account from your device.
2. Disable screen lock.

Just boot your phone in Download mode ( Power Key + Home Key + Volume Down Key)

*Read entire post before trying*
Repeat the install process with Odin,
keep ur fingers on the Vol. Up and Power buttons (not pressing them),
click Start and just before it's finished flashing push and hold those buttons until TWRP logo appears,
release and wait for loading to finish.
Hope that helps
(sometimes u have to also hold down the Home button along with Vol. Up & Power buttons)
I got this S7, wanted to flash 930U firmware to use T-Mobile but a failed flash has me in a boot loop. I fully updated before trying to flash, so it is I assume on the newest bootloader, etc.
I have attempted the newest firmware files that I can find (G930AUCS4BQL1) but am still getting the SW REV CHECK FAIL through Odin.
Are there files available that will fix this, do I just need to wait for them to come out, or have I bricked this thing?
Thanks for any help and have a great day!
Update:
- Using PrinceComsy Odin results in: FAIL! (Auth)
- USB Debugging is OFF and I am unable to boot to change that
- I am leaving the BL file blank in ODIN
perhaps you should try using offcial odin when flashing official images.
try version 3.12.3. whatever you do, don't use the princecomsy version unless for flashing engboot
