What phone do you have? SPH-L720 or or the L720T?
What did you try to Odin? - Recovery, CF-Autoroot? etc. Full Stock .tar? And why just modem?
Did you run Odin as administrator?
Did the device show up at all - any comm port in Odin?
Is the phone new?
Was it ever rooted?

So the T version has it's own thread.
You CANNOT flash .tars for the standard 720. That's your problem.
Please go here and read through the entire thread.

Provide some info please:
1. Are you on stock now and which one?
2. What custom recovery do you have installed?
3. Did you update the superSU binaries?
4. What happens if you try to flash a custom rom?
-Edit- Sorry missread the post. Did you flash the recovery with Odin and placed the .img file in PDA. Have you closed Kies, also in windows tray manager? Do you have usb debugging enabled on your phone, tried another PC usb port (no hub), correct drivers installed?

If it is a .tar file you have to flash the recovery with Odin 3.04 on your PC or with Mobile Odin Pro from your phone. Download the latest twrp 2.6.0.0 tar file and flash with Odin.

I think you`re not rooted correctly. Have you updated the binaries of the SU app? Open the SU app and it will update probably. Did you install Busybox from Google Play, this is needed also.

[Q]Can't install custom recovery on s4

Hi, i have a problem when i try to install the custom recovery of philz. (The latest one for s4 6.53.9)
I have a samsung s4 black edition. I did all the steps on the guide, but when i install the custom recovery i only get "reset" on odin and nothing happened on the phone. On download mode it say that i have a custom firmware but the knox warranty flag has not tripped.
If anyone have an answer please help.

Can you please link the guide you have followed?
What black edition version do you have? I9500 or I9505, i understand there are 2 versions depending on region.
Is the bootloader unlocked?
What version Odin are you using?
Remember to reboot into recovery by holding volume up while turning power on after flashing.
Holding volume down gives you download mode.
Did you put the recovery package in the PDA tab?
I use odin 3.07 and used the guide of philz. I tryed with auto reboot and without auto reboot on odin, i put the tar.md5 file on pda without anything else. The only other option ticked was f.reset time.

Bump
Noone knows anything? Please help, I can't do anything with the phone in this state. I can't install the official firmware nor the recovery too.
Uncheck auto-reboot in Odin.
if problem persists:
Different usb cable
Different usb port
Make sure Kies is not running in the background.
Already done all that stuff,
Any other suggestions?

In odin 3.07 I was putting the tar.md5 in PDA, where should I put it now? Because your file is in .zip.md5 and I can't put it in any slot.

Note 3 ODIN always fails

I bought a note 3 which probably came with 4.4.2 D3 firmware (last 2 letters) with singtel carrier. I OTA updated to 4.4.2 NH1 which is the latest update for singtel version. I tried downgrading the kernel for towelroot cause it needed < jun 2014 so I tried flashing ND3 firmware which failed. Then my device never worked and is always in download mode or it asks for kies recovery which i tried but never worked. I tried flashing like 6 different stock tar's with odin but all fail at the system.img point. Not using any PIT file. I've still not tried flashing the NH1 which i'm currently downloading. Not if this will also fail and i'll be bricked forever. Please HELP! I've tried at least 3 -4 diffrent tars but not NH1 tar so far
Note 3 N9005 32gb LTE 4G SM-9005 (Signtel Singapore)
Also i did not enable usb debugging at all, will that cause a problem?
Ok I tried nh1 firmware as well, it still failed at system ext4 write failure
Solution: Do Not install odin firmwares using vm ware fusion virtual machine. Run bootcamp for mac users and flash via odin in windows native

You should show us your Odin error as well...
Do you have reactivation lock enabled?

Do you even know what you're talking about? You don't need to activate USB Debugging.
USB Debugging is only for in the firmware adb usage. If he's in Download mode, whatever you set in the firmware does not apply anymore. It has its own Download Mode connection.
Yes man I know whay i said and he is talking about firmware adb and I'm talking because I had this problem many times until activated it

Odin has no relation with USB Debugging/ADB.
It will not make a difference whether it is activated or not.
Also please read the OP, he is stuck in Download Mode, you can't access the system.
Ok maybe you're right I'm sorry, in this case checking the Samsung usb drivers on the pc and install the latest version of it ( could ) be the problem.
Solved
Solved the problem. It was vm ware fusion. Do not try odin on vmware fusion, it has problems. Installed windows, odin ran with succes, now i have knox 0x0 and root

Regardless, no one should be using a virtual machine to do something that may damage your warranty....
Yes it may work, but it's not true Windows you are working under, you are relying on USB device rerouting and hoping it will work. That bridge shouldn't be trusted, even if it might work as shown above, they are not under XDA's standard supported procedures.

Problem using Odin

When I use Odin to flash back my original Samsung S4, I received a 'Failed' message. I need to flash back the original rom as I need to send my phone back to service station. The Odin version I'm using is 3.07
My present rom is rooted and have Philiz recovery installed.
Anyone can assist?
Thanks.

Odin troubleshooting:*If Odin accidentally gives you "fail" try the following:
- Repeat procedure.
- Make sure that all actions of Kies are disabled from task manager.
- Change usb port.
- Try another usb cable (make sure it is the original).
- Try another Odin version.
- Uninstall and re-install driver.
- Use pit file.
- Try another computer.

Can't flash any rom.

Hi XDA,
Today I wanted to flash a new rom, but it didn't work, it just do the boot animation until infinite and nothing happens..
I tried flashing two roms by recovery: Carbon for Galaxy S4 and Dirty Unicorns Rom for Galaxy S4.
Both are stuck at boot animation screen.
What can I do? Please help me
My Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 Black Edition (from Romania)
Thanks.
Have a nice day.
I am using GT-I9500, but i think your recovery may have some things wrong.
Have you tried to flash the TWRP again through Odin ? May be that will work.

Did you turn the usb debugger on ?
Did you install SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones in your computer ?
I always do these when i flash somethings through Odin.
Did you wipe the device before flashing?

That's the reason it's failing.
Only use the latest TWRP recovery. The rest is outdated.
99% of Odin errors are resolved by the following:
- Different usb port
- Different usb cable.
