[Q] [Help] - Odin not working..GS4 i9505

I know this gets asked all the time, but I am looking to un-root my GS4. I have the i9505 (google edition). I put cyangenmod on it a few weeks ago but i'd like to go back to stock. I've followed this guide to the T:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
With no luck. I have tried 2 different .tar.md5 files from samfirmware.com. I have tried multiple different versions of Odin 1.85, 3.07 and 3.09. I put my phone in download mode, connect it to the PC. Odin recognizes it. I hit PDA and select my .tar file and click start and it fails every time. Here are the messages it gives me:

What sort of logs would you like me to send?

Are you using Windows, and does it recognize the phone when you plug it in? If so, it's not the USB cable or the drivers. You may have the wrong file. If you do in fact have the I9505G from Google Play Store then the link you provided is wrong, it's only for the I9500 and I9505, not the Google edition.

I am using Windows. It recognizes the phone no problem. My settings say I have GT-i9505, it is (was) the google edition. Is there something specific I need to do since I have the Google edition?

You have to know if your phone is gt-i9505 (Normal) or gt-i9505G (Google EDITION). You can't flash gt-i9505 STOCK ROM in one gt-i9505G or viceversa. I9505XXUGNE5_I9505OXAGNE5_I9505XXUGNE5_HOME.tar.md5 firmware is for gt-i9505.

I bought the phone from the google store, GS4 Google Play edition.
I installed Cyangenmod on it using their system they have. I guess it thought I was using an gt-i9505 instead of gt-i9505G? when I go into about phone (after cyangenmod installed), it says I have a gt-i9505...not a G
I downloaded I9505GUEUBMKG_FULL_ROOTED.tar.md5 and was able to put that on my phone. Everything works. I followed this guide..

1. You own a Gt-i9505G (Google Play Edition). Don't forget it and don't confuse urself. The gt-i9505 firmwares aren't good for ur device.
2. The problem is that u installed Cyanogenmod for Samsung Galaxy S4 (jflte) device and it appeared in "about phone" like i9505. Nothing more.
3. Next time only flash things for Google Play edition Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505G) and enjoy :highfive:.

please help me i dont know that much

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

[Q] Note 3 SM-900 Stuck on Splash Logo (Download Mode Works)

Hi Everyone,
Having a problem here with a SM-900 Note 3 sent back to the US here by a relative. A relative asked me to purchase it off Amazon with their credit card (prime shipping), so it comes from a trustworthy source. AFAIK the phone was unrooted (Knox counter 0) and apps were installed through the play store. The phone is stuck at the initial "Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-900" screen. The logo is not steady, instead it keeps flashing every 3 seconds. Recovery mode does not work, or at least the phone keeps flashing the logo. Download Mode, however, works and the phone stays turned on steady. Kies keeps saying connecting and Jodin3 keeps saying my phone isn't connected. I have tried all 4 ports and 3 separate usb cables. I don't have access to a Windows machine only an iMac. I'm not sure what is wrong. I'm going to try downloading odin to my mac to see if it will work. If all else fails, I plan on contacting Samsung to see if they will fix it seeing as it was purchased only 4 months ago. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you were using a Windows PC, install Kies 3 to get a correct driver to be installed, then download a stock firmware for your device and flash via Odin. That could help to fix the problem.
I'm not familiar with iMac so I don't know what software can be a replacement for the Odin.
You can try Heimdall.

I managed to go over a friend's house and use his windows machine. I got the correct file and used Odin and it said "PASS". Unfortunately, the Note 3 is still having the same problem with the splash logo flashing every three seconds. Not sure whats wrong. Could it be hardware related? The battery contacts on the phone are fine. I don't think there is anything wrong with the battery itself because download mode works just fine. It seems to start the phone up its having trouble getting past the initial splash screen. Safe mode is not working either. Looks like I might have to put in a call to Samsung for warranty repair.

1. You will have to download one of the latest firmware of: HERE. I supose you don't know the CSC (country CODE) of your device. We don't know what firmware had your device either. Try to flash one of the newest for avoid active KNOX to 0x1 in future if you have to come back to one older firmware. Flash the firmware of the correct country if you know it ofc.
2. ODIN don't works in Mac.... use HEIMDALL. Lil guide: HERE

Can you show the Odin screenshot? And also the full Odin log file?

UPDATE:
Vndnguyen; Sorry for the long wait as the past couple of weeks have been hectic with a family member in the hospital. Samsung Customer Support was obviously unhelpful but someone managed to find the true country of origin of my phone. They said (Samsung CS) based on IMEI it is from Taiwan. Now that I know the proper firmware I have downloaded the corresponding country version from Sam Mobile. Currently leaving Odin running to see if that does anything to fix it. Regardless, I will still post a screen shot and the log file.
P.S. It was confirmed the battery was not the problem, a Samsung Rep at a Best Buy store pulled out a battery from a working display Note 3 and used it in mine, but still no dice.

I tried the Taiwan firmware from Sam Mobile (N900ZSUENI3_N900OZSENI3_N900XXUENG1_HOME.tar.md5) but Odin reported fail. Even after 3 attempts it still reported fail. After contacting the third party seller via Amazon, they replied that the Note 3 was meant for Latin America. I picked one of the countries (Panama: N900UBUENJ2_N900UWAENJ2_N900UBUENG1_HOME.tar.md5) and Odin reported Pass! But it still keeps flashing at the boot screen.
This is the log for the Panama Firmware:

Stuck in bootloop and not even ODIN wants to work! Help!

Hi,
My wife's phone SM-G935F started to bootloop after a normal update. It goes to the loading screen (IMG 1) and just stays there. The only thing I can do from there is VolDown+Power to reset or Voldown+Home+Power to Recovery mode.
Can't access factory reset mode, and the only other thing i've been able for it to show is the light-blue screen with the "!" simbol and "Try using Smart Switch Recovery..." which didn't work.
IMG1= https://s11.postimg.org/w6vna4mwz/20161029_180455.jpg
I Don't exacly know the region of the phone, but i think it is the Trinidad and Tobago one (International unlocked bought from B&H).
Anyone knows how to know region from a cell you can't boot?
Also don't know if OEM was active or not, but i think this is the problem. If i can't boot the cell, hoy to disable OEM prot?
When I try to ODIN it shows this:
http://postimg.org/image/4yyt2sd1b/
And then it FAILS
I don't know what more to do.
My odin active options are:
Auto Reboot
F. Reset Time
And the phome screen goes from this:
http://postimg.org/image/qwqoiu2nz/
To displaying this
http://smg.photobucket.com/user/brava/media/20150902_012011_zpsjm9lr9np.jpg.html
Just instead of RECOVERY, it says BOOT.
I successfully updated the bootload so the "!" simbol and "Try using Smart Switch Recovery..." screen isn't showing anymore, but the bootloop is still going. Cant update the AP, CP not CSC.
Anyone has any idea what can i do?
This phone was running Marshmelow, never had been rooted and never used custom roms in it. It was only 3 months old. Think of the children
Thanks

smart switch will work if you download the drivers to your computer. this step is necessary to allow smart switch to see your phone.
then use smart switch, click on more, emergency recovery, then device initialization.
followinstructions, it should take about 5 minutes to recover your phone, if you have input the correct information.

Does the phone needs to be in download mode? or in the loading screen is ok?
Only 3 options I have are:
Boot screen (galaxy screen)
Powered Off
Download mode.
I can't reach any other screens.
Thanks!

This is the case when i try to AD everytime. I'm quite sure my problem is the region of the firmware, but i can't know WHICH firmware to download. I called the US store where i bought it and they told me it was from Vietnam.
Got the Vietnam Stock Firmware (XXV) and it still is "Blocked by FRP Lock" when it tryies to do the recovery.img file...
Anyone knows how to get the region of the phone from the serial/imei or any other meens whith a soft bricked phone?
I tried SmartSwitch but it had the same problem. I think it used the region from the BL/CSC i flashed to it instead of the original one...
Also, the radio from the Vietnam version didn't match my phone...
Any ideas?
I can't take it to the manufacturer, i bought it online from H&M in the US and I live in South America.

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.

At this point, I'm stuck and need a little bit of help (to at least go back to stock). Thanks!

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

Well, I guess I can grab Kies in the meantime.
Where did you grab the superstars ROM and the stock ROM? I just want to make sure camera and phone work lol.

Rom:

Stock:

Remember that kies flashes the up to date stock rom so there's no need to download the stock one in my opinion

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

Failed to run firmware update. Unknown Error Occurred. Thanks for you all your help in this matter. I think it might be dead. lol

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..

Thanks for messaging back every time though It's the T-Mo version as well. I'm really at a loss at this point. Going to try one more time this weekend and see what I get. :cheers:
Oh man - I don't know what happened but it finally recovered. I think doing it at home made the difference. Thanks!
