Hi. I am really a noob about this. I hope you guys can give me a hand.
I have a samsung galaxy i9505 rooted via ODIN and was able to install the latest non-touch recovery (CWM). Now I want to install a custom ROM. What I find interesting is the arrow ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349774. Now my question is how do I install this properly? I have android 4.2.2 with baseband i9505xxubmg5. This is considered stock as I got it from a carrier locked phone from Globe telecoms Philippines. Do I install the zip file from Arrow ROM 4.3 under CWM recovery? What about ODIN? Do I need to do something under ODIN before proceeding to flashing a custom ROM?

wow, thank you for that reply. I am now clearing my head a bit. You said base from my country. I dont have any idea what modem or base it is. Will it affect my phone being a carrier locked from Globe telecom Philippines? Where do I get the info to get these areas filled?

FLash this modem via odin by selecting phone/cp after flashing the custom rom , or you can do an opposite way flash the Modem/custom rom.

where will I find it i my phone which says I9505XXUFNBE? Checking under my "about device" baseband says i9505dxubmg5 with build number JDQ39.i9505XXUBMG5. I cant find I9505XXUFNBE.
btw, why does it say no info on that firmware found?

Mate , You need to Download/extract/flash the Link i gave you via odin . (Make sure you install Samsung driver to your computer) Turn off your phone manually and wait atleast 10 sec and then hold and press power+VolDown in order to boot into download mode . now open odin and Select phone/CP (Find the .Tar you extracted) Connect both cables wait until you see the (ID.Com became blue in odin) and click start ! once its done it should reboot automatically then remove the cable . Go to your phone setting and check if the baseband change to FNBE. IF that doesnt work try this one
Use Odin
Untick Autoreboot
Flash modem
Reboot once again into Download Mode using (Power+VolDown)
Flash Modem once more
Once done,unplug then reboot device manually.
If this doesn't work, try repeating the flash process again while rebooting manually and with auto-reboot option turned off.

You can either take your battery out and try and boot up again, but more likely You need to Reflash 4.4.2 and re-root, - seems the bootloader isn't playing too nice with everyone currently.

That file you used was recently updated by chainfire to work with Kit Kat. Could it be something in there kept you bootlooping?

Take your battery out to kill the power, then it'll let you go back to download mode when it's powered off.
hey_joe is correct with the fact you seem to have used the wrong CF file which is for 4.4 and doesn't seem to work with 4.3 builds.

It'll go back to download mode just fine, but what do I flash to restore my ROM? Is there an older 4.3 file I can flash to recover my phone?

No. As I said Chainfire updated the file to work with Kit Kat and maybe something from that update is causing the bootloop. Because he can't downgrade his phone's firmware to JB, he probably couldn't test if there was an issue or not with JB using the new file. Anyway it's just my thought. You can try the old file and see if it works. It beats having to download the whole firmware and flashing all over again.

You will need a custom recovery, You can try either Chenglu's CWM, PhilZ CWM or TWRP - all three are easy to use, quite easy to install also -- Open ODIN, flash in PDA and after 10secs or so all done, have a look around at the ROM's there's some nice one's going

Odin won't flash Disk Image Files? Only Tarballs? Chenglu's 6.0.4.5. CWM is an image not a tarball.
Hello,
*
I come to you because it has been more than 24 hours that I try to install an AOSP rom in my s4 Galaxy (GT-I9505)
In fact I have a big concern when I flash CF-Root-jflte Self-jfltexx-gti9505.zip (latest site chainefire) with odin everything goes correctly
But once back in android, not Rooted (lack binary ...)
-I tried several version odin (1.85, 3.04, 3.07 and 3.09)
-I tried on several PCs (Windows 7 and Windows 8)
-I tried several USB cables
-I made full wipe
-I flashed the PIT file from the stock rom 4.4.2 (version in my S4)
-I tried to put everything back to zero with a stock rom
*
Without success, my phone does not want to be Root ...
*
So I thought I flashed a Recovery
I tried TWRP, CWM and Philz-recovery and reboot before all began to flash, so do not even touch system
I tried several rom AOSP (11 cm, slimkat ...)
*
Could you please give me a little help here because I dry supplement
I'm bored here, this is my 5th as samsung and this is the first where I can not install CM 11
I do not understand why not traveling on wheels Recovery flash, they do not put error message but reboot alone and without flash
*
Ps: I've tried stock rom pre-Rooted to fasher with odin, it works, I have root but it does not address the concern of recovery
Sorry very bad English, it's google traduction
Are you sure you're using i9505? I have the same device and haven't any issue and the chainfire auto-root works very well for me.
Good luck. :fingers-crossed:

Try flash again the stock rom and use the Odin from chainfire auto-root. I'm doing this every time and work very well without any issue and fails.

Ok, follow these steps. Ignore anyone, if you have already done.
That's what I do and usually gives everything well.
Flash samsung stock rom, after reboot, open Supersu disable Knox, Turn device off, turn the divce on in download mode, flash the custom recovery (Philz or TWRP recommended).
Have you try this?

This still does not work with the Knox free.
Tomorrow I back to the store to get a refund, I'm tired.
Why not just flash a stock rooted rom, and go from there. If it's the GPE there is a rooted ROM that fits that phone. That's what I did.

SM-N910G, I flashed chainfire's auto root without first using the Dr K/PhilZ forced/submissive whatever kernel first.
I can't seem to find a normal stock rom to push through Odin without encountering a sea of dodgy download sites.
Can anyone help? Just want a 5.1.1 stock rom...
Even any of the other 5.1.1 builds like Simpl, I can't seem to find a tar file.
Any nudges in the right direction would be very handy.

If you want to return to stock.
Download Samfirm from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Then extract the files and run the tool.
Then enter the model as SM-N910G and the region you are in (CSC)
Then tick the 'Auto' box and press 'Check Update' and the 'Decrypt automatically'
It should look something like this, I put INS which is for India.

Then extract the firmware from the downloaded file using an archive tool such as Winrar and flash it via Odin.
Or use Sammobile.
If you want to install a custom ROM you will need to flash a custom recovery, for the N910G I would recommend this one (TWRP 2.8.7.0):
Download the twrp-2.8.7.0-trltedt.img.tar
https://dl.twrp.me/trltedt/
Flash it using Odin and your phone in download mode.
download stock firmware from sammobile (google it) and flash it with ODIN.
***DO NOT *** download and flash latest 5.1.1 firmware with build number "COJ5" as the latest version of 5.1.1 locks down the bootloader download any version below coj5

Unless you do not care about downgrading to lower bootloaders. It works fine otherwise. But having it locked does suck if you want to downgrade. No way to do it..... Yet.
Thanks for the help fellas, I ended up finding "N910GDTU1COJ3" which I'm flashing with Odin now.
Next time I'll flash the Dr K kernel before I do anything else...
Time to update my sig as well

Download Samfirm from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Then extract the files and run the tool.
Then enter the model as SM-N910G and the region you are in (CSC)
Then tick the 'Auto' box and press 'Check Update' and the 'Decrypt automatically'
It should look something like this, I put INS which is for India.

This morning I grabbed a stock ROM from SamMobile and flashed it with Odin, no joy, stuck loading for about 10 minutes. It stopped boot looping at least.
So now I'm following your procedure, I will let you know how I get on.
It's a shame I can't use ADB otherwise I could just flash the Dr K kernel and then auto root with chainfire's tool... I've gotta use Odin for now...
It's downloading now with a CSC code of OPS...

After ODIN flashing, when it hangs, pull battery go into stock recovery and do factory reset.
I can't extract the enc4 files, both 7zip and WinRar don't recognise it...
Tried downloading twice...
I'll go back to my SamMobile download and see if factory resetting will work as suggested by DS...

So I've just tried a stock ROM I downloaded using this tool, still hanging when trying to boot.
V Frustruating, the stock recovery doesn't allow you to do anything.
I need to convert Dr K's kernel to a tar file somehow so I can flash in Odin... I'm on 5.1.1 and there is a known issue with the bootloader.

Check PM.
There seems to be some confusion here, people are telling me, even on other threads, to do a factory reset in the stock recovery tool.
There might be an issue with recovery then, because I've only got a green android logo with "Downloading..." on the screen, nothing else is available to me.
It's not like previous bootloaders I've used where you use the volume key to select options etc, I literally can't do anything except flash from Odin.
Yes I have tried to flash TWRP using Odin, it didn't work...
OMG... By random luck I decided to hold the volume up key instead of down key when powering on and hey presto I have TWRP...
36 hours of my life I want back!

That's how to boot into recovery. By holding Volume UP, Home Button while powering on.
Anyone with kind heart please help me root my phone.

thanks for your responce. but i need more accurate details in regards with the process. i read lots if post about rooting note 4. cannot search exact procedure for my note. get confuse on bootloader is locked on my device and need modified kernel. can someone enlighten me please..
Download Odin 3.10.7, from sammobile or any place else. Just use Google.
Download TWRP from their website, latest version, make sure to download for G model, and the .tar format, not zip or anything else.
Download SuperSU zip from chainfire's website, and have it placed on your phone's storage.
Now put the phone in download mode (volume down+power), connect to computer, run Odin, press the Volume up to continue. You SHOULD see one of them tab in Odin saying "connected" in blue that means your phone is connected. Now put the downloaded TWRP .tar image under AP tab of Odin, and hit on start.
Your phone will restart and you should have TWRP installed now. To confirm power off phone, press volume UP and power this time, you should see TWRP booting. From there just navigate to that SuperSU zip you downloaded and placed on your phone's internal/external storage, and select and flash that file. Phone will reboot twice on itself, and you are done, rooted.
To make sure whether root is perfect or not, install Root checker basic app from Play. Oh and install Busybox on rails afterwards too.
Clear?

Yes, that's the website bro, and that's the Note 4 section as well
Hit on the India option, then download the very first tar.img link, so trlte is us
They use different type of model names actually, so when we type in Note 4 we just have to see whether it matches our chipset and not from a different region.

Hmm, just checked that page again, you've no other option other than India to flash it seems, shouldn't matter at all anyway. They just made India as G versions' default location it seems.
Stock recovery? I don't know how to have it dude. Maybe there's a flashable zip or something, not sure. The only way I know to get stock recovery is if you flash the stock ROM via Odin.

i might have a backup plan before doing the Indian version. thanks for your help bro...
So do you need to update the kernel as well?
On N910G 5.1.1, just flashing SuperSU zip won't work.. It will NOT root the device properly..
You need to flash custom Kernel first to gain proper root.
After flashing kernel flash SuperSU zip...
Try Nameless kernel latest version..
Hope it helps..
Yesterday I tried rooting my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge using Odin CF autoroot with no experience at all. I did something wrong. When it wouldn't work at first and kept giving an error and "FAIL!" message I tried checking for the correct firmware so I googled my model number and found the one for my phone and downloaded it. I'm not sure what I did but my phone is in a bootloop whenever I turn it on and I can't go to recover mode, only download mode. How do I reinstall the correct firmware?
Please help me fix this. Hopefully I won't have to go to a store for repair...
Well u simply
1) go to sammobile
2) find ur model
3) download the latest firmware
4) extract the firmware
5) put the phone in download mode
6) open odin
7) connect phone
8) upload the extracted files to odin into there respective places
9) flash
the phone will automatically reboot after flashing is complete
NOTE: just be sure to flash model specific firmware.
flash stock rom with odin or use samsung software to fully restore original firmware

If I find the correct firmware will it just overwrite or must I remove the current one? I honestly have no idea how this works.
I had this problem once, you need to flash them Individually, one checkbox at per flash. The way to root ur phone should be magisk manager or supersu. First off you need twrp which is 3.2.1.1 that auto root thing in Odin doesn't work. Some custom rooms already have options for root so if ur a beginner it's best u try them.

Flash this as ap it's a custom recovery that everyone uses here. Then use the keys power home vol down to force restart ur phone. Then power home vol up the moment it restarts to reach recovery. wipe everything then Flash a custom rom from the forums. I understand ur frustration that the phone has no way to turn off at all
When I try to flash the twrp-3.2.1-1-hero2lte.img.tar.md5 file Odin stops responding.
Don't flash Md5.
Flash the .tar file.

The non md5 download only has a recovery.img file which won't go into AP.
u flash it as a tar file not as the img file, you cant use .img files in odin
do not extract the img just flash the tar.
Btw in Odin the autoreboot and freset time don't matter they don't do anything because if you still don't have an os or recovery it will still send u to dl mode.
once u flash twrp it will automatically boot into recovery no need to hold keys. Then wipe ur phone and install either batman rom (an s8 port with Bixby) or superman rom (stock s7 edge firmware) both have customized installers that allow u to choose addons features and root.
U install custom roms by going to install button then selecting the zip. Also 2 main kernels that most people use are tgp kernel and superstock kernel.
dude, you're so smart, dont know what you're doing and you flash something without any knowledge and preparation...
that situation is fully on you
https://prnt.sc/iyosdg
I can't flash this.
https://prnt.sc/iyot25
Or this.
recovery.img comes in a .zip and nothing else is in it. If I don't extract it how do I flash it?? The .zip doesn't show up as an option in AP.

if u flashed it with a green pass, u should be able to boot into custom recovery
power home and volume down for force restart
when phone shows s7 logo, power home vol up to reach recovery
It hasn't flashed. It stays on file analysis for hours.
It does that if your phone is disconnected and reconnected. Download the official Samsung USB drivers.
https://samsung-usb-driver-for-mobile-phones.en.lo4d.com/download
http://prntscr.com/iz109e
I've installed the driver. How long should this take? It isn't saying disconnected.
Flashing a custom recovery should only take 10 seconds. Custom rom 10 minutes. What is the model of your phone check the back of ur phone.

G935P.
It stays on "File analysis." Does this mean I don't have the right driver? If so, how do I find it? I downloaded the one from the link you shared.
