Looks like whoever had it tried to flash a ROM or something and failed. You'll have to flash the stock firmware in ODIN. I recommend downloading MDL and MK2, because if by chance MDL works then you can get a full custom recovery and not be restricted as to what you can flash. This phone has a locked bootloader so flashing is not as straightforward as other phones.

What links can you provide that gets me the stock ROM, MDL, and MK2.
And thank you so much for the help.

Definitely try the AMDL image first like DeadlySin9 stated. If it is still on that version, you found a diamond in the rough. You'll want to keep it from updating afterwards if it is on AMDL.
AMDL is available from sammobile.com
MK2 is available from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621279
I believe you will have to register on that site to download them.

My biggest problem is this, It will not reconize the usb when I plug it in the computer. I am a computer tech, I know about usb drivers for samsung. etc...Ive done the volume down, power etc where its in download mode, it doesnt reconize the usb. Is there a way to put this on a micro sd card and install it from there? Or do I have to do it from usb?

I would try downloading the Android SDK. It may give you the drivers you need.
Otherwise, try different cables (OEM is best) and different USB ports. Make sure you download the drivers off of the Samsung website. If there is a bad driver on your machine, ensure you are checking the box to delete the driver file when uninstalling.
Otherwise, there is another program called Heimdall that ignores the windows drivers, but I'm not well versed in that one.

What the biggest problem is, I can go to Device Manager and when I plug it in, It doesnt do anything at all. No indication that a USB device in the USB section. But I havent tried kies, I figured, if a unreconized usb device wasnt in the device manager, theres no sense in going any further. EX: I plug my mouse in, it shows up in device manager somewhere. The S4 doesnt at all.

If changing cable and different USB ports hasn't helped, then the USB port on the phone is probably defective and that's an entirely different issue.
EDIT: Also try a different computer if possible.

I know this thread is an old thread but I still wanted to share. I was recently working/ playing with a couple of Samsung Galaxy s4's ( sgh-i337 & sgh-m919). I managed to get the "secure fail: kernal, unauthorized software has been detected by the system" message. These days you hook the device to smartswitch and do an emergency recovery. What I did was hooked the phones up to z3x Samsung Tool Pro in download mode. After selecting the proper device, I clicked the option to read the pit file. After reading the pit file, the device restarted normally with no message. The first time I thought may have been a weird bug but I have replicated it 3 times and the same result each time. This happened after installing or having issues with custom recovery.

Hmm it looks like whoever was trying to install a ROM or custom recovery, forgot to use the Loki exploit.
You can download the MDL firmware from my Google drive here:

Help, my phone is now a mess! - no odin, bad clockwork

My phone is running DL30 based Blackhole 4.01 with the DL09 modem. When I try to plug my phone into a computer, the phone detects the computer, but the computer does not detect the phone.
- The phone starts charging
- The phone says "USB Debugging Connected"
- The computer does nothing
- adb devices lists no devices
- same thing in download mode, the computer doesn't see the phone
I have tried on OS X and booted into Windows XP.
I have no idea how to handle this. The one thing I tried was installing the Stock/rooted DL30 rom instead of Blackhole, but that didn't seem to fix and I went back.
To make matters worse, assuming that everything in ROM Manager is basically safe, I accidentally installed orange clockwork today and I cannot figure out how to get back to a working clockwork. The All ClockworkMod Recoveries option in ROM Manager does nothing - they all say download error.
Wow. If anybody can help with any of this, that would be great. Thanks everyone.
Did you install the proper samsung drivers onto the computer.
Edit: Also did you try to Odin, the title indicates no odin, but your explanation doesnt say so. (Open Odin, remove battery, hold down volume and insert usb cable)
what do you mean "onto my phone?" My Windows system has samsung drivers and OS X were both previously able to connect, use odin, etc. I don't know when it stopped working.
Yeah, odin doesn't work because the computer never detects that the phone is attached.

Sorry, meant computer.
What do you mean odin stopped working, your explanation doesnt say anything about odin as my edit in above post.
What I mean is that I used odin to install DL09. After that, I don't recall every attaching to my computer, but when I tried recently to install EB01, it no longer works. Sometime after flashing DL09, my phone is no longer detected by computer.
Im saying does odin detect the phone, not the computer.
You can odin the updated CWM (non orange) from here:

Are you sure Odin doesn't work?
Check USB settings on your phone. My rom gives me media player mode and mass storage mode. Don't have my cable with me to test if media player mode stays hidden from the pc.

Odin uses download mode with phone off.. What would this matter?
Sent from my Rocking dj05, themed superdark w/o swype mod, voodoo 5, with custom boot and shutdown.. With premium xda app.
I was IRL with OP trying to solve this a few days ago. It's not that improper/no drivers are installed, the computer literally does not detect that there is a device connected to that USB port. lsusb on Linux turns up just the controllers and root hubs, and devmgmt.msc on XP does not show anything attached at all, even after a manual hardware scan. adb shows absolutely nothing. My Captivate does show up on all the same scans, regardless of the USB mode (Kies/mass storage/media player/what have you.)
He has tried this on multiple computers, so individual ports/USB controllers/drivers/OS bugaboos have been effectively ruled out.
My thought is that between your last flash, OP, and now, your physical microUSB port on the phone is damaged. If you no can haz insurance, I'd say you're SOL.
FYI: The phone does not say "debugging connected" when plugged into the wall. I think the my USB connector is damaged or something. I may consider seeing if I can get it repaired, or I may just wait until I can get a different phone that's better supported by manufacturer (and therefore by the mod community)

phone seems bricked

hi my mate has and s4 9505 and he wiped the hole phone like a noob and it wont enter recovery and in odin nothing will flash tried pit file and also stockrom it either gets stuck on setting up connection or stuck on pit mapping part tried adb devices command but its not picking up the devices the drivers will be on his comp as he has all ready flashed things via odin before on the s4 any ideas people cheers

Try that:
You can use this software to repair Your dead Samsung i9505 and similar (m919, i337, L720 etc)
Note, You need to install QHUSB Qualcomm drivers first.
After flashing with this software, You need to flash phone with official firmware and PIT file, otherwise phone will be dead again, and You'll need to repeat the process.
If You get errors reported by this software (command prompt window), You'll have to replace the eMMC chip first.​

What odin version are u using? Are u sure you have properly installed kies or drivers? The latest kies version? Try disabling antivirus and installing latest kies.
tried with odin 1.85 3.04 and 3.07 and yea latest kies i uninstalled antivirus to be on safe side as i no it can conflict with odin and stuff
The problems you are having are purely driver issues. Try flashing the phone on another computer.

Let us know if it worked
Try a different data cable it worked for me
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
Well I've had some problems too today and there a couple of things you might want to try (I'm sure one of them will fix it):
- Pick a different USB port (preferably one in the back)
- Try a different USB cable (I used one from my Nexus 7, didn't work. Tried with the original S4 cable, worked)
- Uninstall Kies and the Samsung drivers from you control panel -> programs
- Download the Samsung USB Drivers again (google it) (do not install them yet)
- Download and install USB Deview (google it) and delete every driver of Samsung you come across in the list (just right click and click delete)
- Disable your internet access and reboot
- After rebooting install the Samsung Drivers (without an internet connection)
- Plug in your phone after you've installed the drivers and enable USB Debugging
- Reboot
- Enable your internet connection again
- Try to flash again in Odin (it should work now)
If this won't work, I don't know what will. A different USB port, cable, fresh/original drivers (not the ones Windows Update may try to install for you), etc is probably what you'll need to get it working.
thanks for every ones help we installed a fresh copy of windows 7 and installed every thing again and it worked fine defo must of been driver related :laugh:
Cheers now flash away like there's no tomorrow

[Q] Trying to root with stock 4.4

I am trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (well actually i would like to install a new rom and recovery) , but i am running into a problem.
Odin3 (v1.85) only finds my phone when i am not in the recovery mode (or the sideload to be precise), adb on the other hand is able to to do sideload but the loaded images fail with "Wront footer" and "verification failed".
Some Data:
AP: N9005XXUENA7
CP: N9005XXUENA2
CSC: N9005DTMENA2
Model: SM-N9005
Android: 4.4.2 (Stock, no root)
USB Debugging: On
Reactivation Lock: Off
USB Driver: Kies 3 (also tried the CWM Drivers)
If you have KIES installed it doesn't play nice with Odin, remove KIES or kill all KIES processes and try again.

Thank you,
i removed Kies and tried again, i still don't get "ID:COM" in Odin.
Sorry I should have said, once you uninstall KIES you remove the USB drivers, you need to install them again. Again, sorry should have said

No problem,
i actually installed the "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones" Pack after removing Kies and doing the reboot stuff.
Still don't get the device via odin.
Maybe i will remove all the drivers and try the CWM Driver again.

I tried different Ports (USB 2 and 3), different Cables and different drivers.
Removed Kies3, tripple check that debugging is on and recovery lock is off.
Still, Odin finds the device when it is not in recovery mode (sideload),
Was another user who had the same problem had to use another PC, I'm struggling to think of what may be the cause.
I had also the sane problem. I also tried all ports on my PC but did not work. I installed KIEs on my Laptop and it worked. I could flash the CWM recovery.

I did this on a new computer that never saw an Android device before.
Odin does not detect my device despite following this advice and the one before.
I installed Kies, made my device known to the Windows Device Manager, rebooted, connected device while in sideload-mode and waited until detection was finished. The next step was firing up Odin3 v1.85 and my device didn't show up, but i was able to use the adb sideload which failed with "Verification Error" when installing a new recovery or rom.
Could it be that the phone being branded by T-Mobile Germany changed the game even though the model is just plain SM-N9005 ?
Is there another option to root this device or preferably install some other rom without Odin?
Never ran into so much trouble with my Asus eeePad, the Samsung I9000 or the HTC One X.

Well when stupidity strikes you...
I always went into the recovery rom (Vol+ & Power & Home) instead of going with the odin mode (remove battery, power device on with Vol- & Home & Power).
Thanks everyone who tried to help me, but you were no match to my blindness ^^
Maybe this might help someone who utilizes the search function after he or she didn't read the tutorials carefull enough.

If the phone won't turn on at all you might be boned.
Odin and all that obviously require you to be able to boot to download mode.
Are you positive the battery is good? Could you find another battery to try?
Does the charging light come on when its plugged in? Are there any signs of life at all?

I think it does turn on because the phone does continue to heat up but its just a black screen also i can put it into download mode and it stays there without being plugged into charge. I'm not sure about the battery ill have to check that out. ill get back to you.
It sounds like you dont have recovery or a rom installed at all.
To fix that you need odin. If the PC wont recognize the phone that is a problem. Did you try a different USB cord to connect to the PC? They are not all created equal.

yes i have used both the original one that came with the phone and the s5 one that my brother has, i have had no luck.
my phone shows up as "msm8960" or mtp usb device also it it device driver software was not successfully installed.
[UPDATE] i have found something similar to odin called JOdin3 that connects to my phone, through this i will try to flash a stock firmware, downloaded from sammobile, and see what happens.
Odin doesn't work without the drivers, and since you had an issue with the drivers that would explain why Odin doesn't work yet JOdin3 does.

No it still wont connect to either but the computer does recognize the phone.
MTP is built into Windows, so the fact the PC detects the phone is a good sign. The entire problem you're having seems to hinge on your PC rejecting the Samsung drivers, which are absolutely required for Odin to function. Those drivers should have no problems installing, and I have successfully installed them on both Windows 7 (x64) and Windows 8.1 machines so I know the installer does work.
There could be many reasons as to the source of your problem, such as a corrupt file or registry entry from when the phone soft-bricked. You want to take a closer look and do some detective work here. Uninstall the drivers if you haven't already done so. Clean out the PC with CCleaner. Even attempt a reinstall of the drivers in the PC's safe mode. Regardless of what you choose to do, if you ever wish to use Odin, you'll need to get this resolved.

yeah ill definitely try to fix the problem because odin is such a great tool. i have uninstalled and installed the samsung drivers but i'll go search the net and what not to try and find a fix. odin was working before when i flashed the stock rom and changed something to mtp and adb (i think i put in an ussd code or something (*#0808#) and through that i was able to use odin) but because the wifi wasn't working on the stock rom, i flashed a custom rom to fix the wifi problem but was once again greeted with the odin problem.

Soft Bricked My Tablet With TWRP and Have no Backup

So, I made the ludicrously stupid mistake of somehow accidentally basically wiping the OS from my tablet with TWRP because I was having problems with it and was trying to figure stuff out. Anyways, I didn't have a backup on the device so I found a stock rom online for it. I tried plugging it into my computer and directly transferring the zip to the device, but it just flat-out refuses to do so. It tells me the device is either not responding or disconnected. I found out that if I try dragging it into a folder it should work, but all it does is give me a different error, telling me that it exceeds the size limit or something. Anyways, next I tried using ADB sideload but the device isn't recognized at all. As a last resort, I finally got a USB-OTG cable and tried that. However, TWRP refuses to mount the thing. It isn't recognized at all. I'm using TWRP v2.8.0.1. Tell me, am I completely screwed?

I meant that I have drivers for it, but neither my computer nor Odin actually recognizes it, so having the drivers is pointless anyways.

you don't have an sd slot? just copy a FLASHABLE zip onto the card and flash in TWRP from there.

I don't have an SD slot in my computer, no. I also don't happen to have a spare micro SD card laying around either. As soon as I'm able, I'll try and get one and let you guys know if it works.
Side note: The ROM doesn't necessarily have to be flashable considering TWRP can install zips directly. Obviously it has to be in connected storage that the device recognizes, though.

TWRP can only flash *TWRP flashable* zips or .img for kernels/radios but nothing more. i meant sd slot in the tablet of course.
im having the same issue, because odin will say it worked , but simce it doesnt show the device , in win 10 device manager it only shows samsung usb composite drivers, in idin it doesnt show anything , if im not mistaken , odin need to recognize the device, so how do i get win 10 to recognise the tab 4?

Only odin will detect your tab if there is no rom booted up. Try flashing deodexed stock rom from twrp
