Okay where do I start...
I was given this phone from a friend, and it was working fine,
rooted and no problems at all...
Followed this guide to install the "Google Play Edition" ROM >> http://www.technobuffalo.com/videos/how-to-turn-a-galaxy-s4-into-a-google-edition-phone/
All was working perfectly, then in a backup process using titanium backup, the phone crashed...
I'm stuck in a boot loop with only the Samsung Galaxy logo screen.
I can enter Download mode, but not recovery...
Have tried every ROM that I can think would be appropriate to restore but to no avail...
Even tried philz touch recovery, nothing seems to be working...
Odin always reports either write failed or <ID:0/003> There is no PIT partition.
Have tried writing just the .PIT file from >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Have tried to recover using Kies, firmware downloads then "Error - F" Phone cannot be located...
The phone gets stuck with a small dot of a process bar in download mode and this read out in the top left of the screen:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9505
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
CSB-CONFIG-LSB; 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: ENABLE
START [224, 1440]
ODIN: FLASH READ FAILURE
I'm at a total loss how to recover this, and if it's even possible to recover?
I would happily send it somewhere for repair, I have no warranty so i expect to pay, but no idea where to send?
Does any one have any advice or solution to this problem?
Much appreciated.

During your unsuccessful flashing of the google edition rom you have lost ROOT and the custom and or stock recovery.
That is why you cannot go into recovery mode.
You are lucky that the .pit file did not flash, you could have ended up with a brick (unusable phone).
The .PIT file is the partition information table, if that is changed or damaged you would need to send
your phone to samsung or other phone repair shop to get it fixed.
What you need to do is to download and Odin flash the stock-rooted i9505 rom which can be found here:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490003683
This rom is pre-rooted and you will be able to get into recovery mode without any issues.
Once this is odin flashed, be sure to make a nandroid backup before flashing other cwm/twrp zip file roms.
The "phone cannot be located" error most likely means that you either do not have the proper samsung usb
driver installed or you need to check the usb cable connections to your computer and phone.
Perhaps use a different usb cable and a different usb port will fix this issue.
Just in case you need it, here is the link for the official usb drivers for the samsung s4 phone:

Good luck!

Are you definitely using PDA (not Phone) mode in Odin when flashing ROMs? Also are you running Odin using 'administrator' mode if using Windows?

Yes 100% sure that I'm selecting PDA and Admin privileges.
Honestly I'm baffled I'm now charging the battery now to ensure the phone has enough to attempt this process again.
The battery icon fails to display a meter... Just an empty battery with a loading circle inside, assuming this is because the phone cannot access the images for the battery charging display? (The display that is present when the phone if turned off and you are charging)
I'm still stumped with what to try here. Any suggestions?
I'm sure if I can get at least back into recovery mode I could resolve it, but with odin failing due to pit each time it's just like banging my head against a wall :silly:

Thanks for this, have tried flashing with the rom that Misterjunky provided (with pit from samersh72) and fail
also tried the EE rom I found on the forum that samersh72 provided (with pit from samersh72) fail
tried flashing just the pit alone... fail
**making sure that "auto-reboot" was unticked**
In each process >> re-partition operation failed?
:crying:
I'm now downloading the EE rom direct from sammobile (Although for some reason I'm sure this device was originally Orange network)
Will update the situation when all has downloaded and I can try again.
Thanks to all for your input on this.

re-partition must work. make sure that you are using the right pit for your variant, unzip it before putting it in pit window in odin
flash your original EE official rom from sammobile

Pit variant I have is from you for my device "i9505", so that would be the correct pit file?
Still waiting on the EE official rom from sammobile to download, as long as all is correct I will try again once downloaded.
Flash MH8 or newer...
In my case it was not possible to downgrade... i think that if you flash a mh8 or higher, after that is not possible downgrade because new bootloaders.

Reading more on this it does seem you are right, can you elaborate as to what is mh8?
Is this a specific rom? Reading what I could find it seems it will only allow custom roms on the device or a rom that is MH8?
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Going to download the latest BTU MH8 for UK and give that a try? Hopefully I'm making progress as the MH8 rule would explain why it's not working

be aware MH8 firmware will lock your bootloader, so you will not be able to downgrade.
your problem is in partition table. your solution is with the pit file flashed with your stock firmware.
if it fail, see odin troubleshooting in my thread

I believe I am already flashed to MH8, but I am not sure.
I have tried flashing the pit located in your sig for my GT-I9505 but it always fails?
Is there something else I am missing or not doing correctly? I have been following each guide and double checking the steps before I try anything.
No matter what action i take the pit flash with the file "I9505_pit file.zip" located here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
always fails? I have no idea why? Or which steps to take.

yes this is the right pit file.
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.

Have tried all except another computer, someone mentioned that an XP based machine works best.
Those are like gold-dust around here, I will try this process on a laptop and see if I can get it to work... That seem to be my best bet for now
Again kudos for all of the help and the quick replies. :good:
All hope seems lost....
After finally trying every method on this PC
(All versions of Odin I could find, all usb ports, original usb lead, kies is disabled, drivers un-installed/re-installed)
And having no luck...
I have had some different results on the laptop;
all other versions of odin I tried (v1.83, v1.85, v3.04, v3.06) just fail;
(again all usb ports, original usb lead, kies is disabled, drivers un-installed/re-installed)
And this read out...
flashing pit and rom > Complete(write) operation failed.
flashing only pit > Complete(write) operation failed.
However on Odin3 v3.07
flashing pit and rom > There is no pit partition
flashing only pit > There is no pit partition
and on v3.09
flashing pit and rom > re-partition operation failed.
flashing only pit > re-partition operation failed
I'm at a total loss now. I have a chance to send it back to cash generator as thats where my friend had purchased it from.
Is it worth doing so?
Any one have any thoughts or suggestions to aid this situation?
:crying:
I guess my only option here as I cannot get it to flash, is to either sell the phone in the state it is in.
Or send it back to Cash Generator to see if they will replace/refund it.

PLZZZZZZZ HELPPPPPPPPPPPPP
As mentioned before, if you want to install a custom ROM you don't precisely need to root for this process.
First flash a custom recovery, instructions:
Basically download TWRP or CWM Recovery for Galaxy Note 3 and flash it with Odin
Copy the ROM into your external SD Card
Then boot into recovery (Volume up + Power+ Home)
First Perform a full backup (search "how to do twrp/cwm nandroid backup")
Wipe dalvik cache and data
Then Select "Install zip from SD Card" and select the ROM
Wait for reboot and it should be done

My Galaxy s5 Will not return to stock after Odin 3.10.6 passes.
Sorry Guys I will have to keep this short. My Galaxy S5 (model number irrelvant) will not return to stock. Prior it had a custom 5.0 firmware and worked perfectly, except whenver headphones were plugin it would turn itself off. I decied to go back to stock firmware using Odin 3.10 and firmware 5.0 based on my model number.
Odin passes with green light. But I STILL HAVE MY DATA WTF?! Music and photos are still there.
Please help me reset my phone back to stock
Recap:
Model : G900T (irrelvant for my problem, I know what firmware to download)
Problem: Soft-Brick - sometimes loads rom other times black screen and rom is in the background. All data is still there, and phone does not ask you to rename phone, login to google, etc... You know the first bookup screen after reset of Rom.
Tried: Odin 3.09 and 3.10 (default settings) Firmware 4.4.2 and 5.0 multiple times.
WTF?! is going on. I cannot for the life of me understand this.
Be my :angel: and help me out with this problem
You can go down one of two routes.....
1) go to settings >> backup & reset >> factory reset......
As far as i know this just destroys the file paths to your data.....it's still on the device, but not accessible with a file manager.....The possibility exists that it *could* be retrieved by specialist software.
2) odin flash a pit file and a firmware.
The pit file will erase and format and rebuild the data partitions on your device leaving absolutely no data behind including the firmware.....hence the need to flash the firmware again.....
If you choose option 2, make sure you are flashing the CORRECT pit file for your device variant......flashing the wrong pit will turn your phone into an unrecoverable paperweight

I never even tried to do it with a pit file. I will be googling it now and will report to you if it works out. In the meantime if anyone could direct me to the right way for the correct pit file for Android 5.0 G900t 16GB. I will edit as soon as I find it and it works out.
Crucial I get the correct Pit file, so I will not leave it up to my judgement, I really need the help here guys.
Found these pit files
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2737448
I am guessing the G900T_pit_16GB is for me, but I need confirmation
Provided that you have the 'T' variant and provided that it is a 16gb model, you should be good to go.....
Though I would check in that thread to find out if they're suitable for use with odin.....I always thought that odin packages had to have a .tar extension.....and none of those pit files do....i'm not sure.....
sorry fella.....

Flashing a stock ROM with ODIN will NOT wipe user data
To wipe user data, factory reset your phone from recovery (Volume up & Home & Power from a powered off state)
If you still want a more thorough wipe:
Flash this PIT file at the same time as your preferred stock ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2752477&d=1400519587
Extract the PIT file down to "SM-G900T_pit.pit" and add to ODIN PIT section
They have to be flashed simultaneously, PIT in PIT section, and ROM in AP/PDA section
Ensure ODIN is run as Admin
--
Let us know how that goes, any more issues and we'll try something else
TIP: S5 model is always important when troubleshooting, there are different methods for different models
Thanks *Detection* always good to get confirmation from experienced Odin users......

Odin is not re-partitioning my phone for some reason. The phone says secure check failed for the pit. I tried both 3.10.7 and 3.09 both give me the same error.
I was able to factory reset my phone through recovery but after the samsung logo it goes black often. I have to keep removing the battery and resetting it to finally get it to load normally. After couple of hours it goes black randomly when the phone is locked.

Fixed Re-Partition Error
*Detection* said:
Flashing a stock ROM with ODIN will NOT wipe user data
To wipe user data, factory reset your phone from recovery (Volume up & Home & Power from a powered off state)
If you still want a more thorough wipe:
Flash this PIT file at the same time as your preferred stock ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2752477&d=1400519587
Extract the PIT file down to "SM-G900T_pit.pit" and add to ODIN PIT section
They have to be flashed simultaneously, PIT in PIT section, and ROM in AP/PDA section
Ensure ODIN is run as Admin

Let us know how that goes, any more issues and we'll try something else

OK I had to hex edit all the extra 00 00 00 00 from the end of the file you gave me to finally be able to flash. But I still have the same problem. As you can see below Odin flashed the following correctly: Re-partition.pit, AP, Bootloader, CP (Modem)
The only file I could not find is CSC file for my firmware (G900TTMB1DOB1).
More info:
Kernel Version 3.4.0-4033351
Build Number: LRX21T.G900TUVU1DOB1
SE For Andriod Device: SEPF_GM-G900T_5.0_0027
At this point I think the internal memory is physically damaged... But I find it weird that at times it just works for hours.
Any ideas anyone?
My phone was acting slow 2 days ago and then locked up on the Samsung logo . This is the third time this year it has happened. The previous two times I flashed the same firmware and good to go. This time it failed and I received the message "Samsung firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error with associated images. If I boot into recovery mode I am confronted with the same message. However, I can boot into download mode.
The phone is a US Cellular Galaxy S4 SCH-R970. It is rooted and running a stock 4.2.2 firmware.
Things I have tried.
1) Flashing the identical firmware with Odin.
2) Tried several original cables, several USB ports on my computer, different versions of Odin and even KIES.
3) Flashing 4.4.2 that I had used successfully on another identical device.
When I flash 4.4.2 with ODIN everything works until the write process and then it fails. Here is what is displayed by ODIN. I tried 4.2.2 again but it gives me a SW Check Fail because I had tried to flash a newer firmware.

This brings me to a 2 part question.
1) Is this a hardware issue like the motherboard failing?
2) Is there a way to revive the phone and stop this cycle of soft bricks?

Hi @apel69 ,
Have you tried installing a custom recovery and a custom rom?
I already had cwm installed and I can't boot to it. I had thought about reflashing it but wasn't sure there would be anything to recover since the newer firmware update had started and failed.
You mean the phone started a stock firmware upgrade from 4.2.2?
No update. I was flashing the existing version because it soft bricked.
Bought a new cable and successfully installed 4.4.2. All three original cables were bad including the one reserved for flashing. Grr!!
I'm stucked into booting logo "Samsung" and i've only access to the download mode, where i tried everything i could find online: reinstall recovery, flash stock rom, and so on. From what i've find i suppose there is a problem about partitions so i even tried to flash .pit file, but Odin gets stucked at "SetupConnection" or "Initialzation" proccess. It takes forever, even for the recovery. I tried the emergency restore from Smart Switch but it cannot recognize my phone...
At the moment im writing (im trying another time to flash twrp), after 15 mins of initialzation now it's stucked on "Get PIT for mapping"...
Thanks in advace for any help.

Don't be hopeless. Bricking a phone tbh is not that easy.
Just find the latest firmware for your model on sammobile and then place the files in there respective slots. In the option check nand erase and re partition and flash. Hope this helps. https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/help-unbrick-s7edge-sm935w8-please-t3927240
This is a thread with someone having a similar problem.
Also try changing the cable your using and making sure on the latest odin or version 3.1. Also try different usb ports on your laptop.

Can't open the file. Maybe the download is corrupted. Re download and also try without pit file. One more thing you can try is just put AP in odin and leave everything else blank and try.
---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------
Any error on the phone screen?
Your firmware has to be an exact match otherwise it won't work, my advice is to download Sam firm to find out the exact match of your firmware, download the files suggested by sam firm and flash with the latest Odin.

Updato keeps aborting the firmware download. I used SamFirm but files inside are the same of the Sammobile archive.
Anyway while trying to flash PIT file yesterday or two days ago i got this error tho:

I've searched a bit online but nothing works... I gonna buy new phone i guess. I'm sad cause i wanted a Pixel or a Xiaomi but i have to get a Samsung since my things are all backed up on their cloud.

It served me for years and i never had hard things to do, or dangerous situations or critical bricks/unsolvable problems. Now first time i put hands on my S7 Edge [i waited warranty's end]... This...

Before trying all this I'm assuming you enabled OEM Unlock in developer settings, if so try to flash twrp. Maybe that will give you access and from there ypu can flash a custom rom

Twrp is flashed in recovery.img partition. I am afraid he will receive same error because Odin would try to open PIT file for recovery flashing. If there isn't any user error then the phone can only be fixed by AnyWay box.

What is user error? I assume it's kinda errors should appear on phone screen like UsmaniMustafa asked me before. Also i suppose AnyWay Box is a tool that only Samsung customers service or some tricky people have.

A few things to check, Odin version and binary numbers of firmware you're trying to flash vs your current binary number. If trying to flash oreo software ensure you are using Odin 3.13.1.

I started with Odin 3.13.1, later i even tried 3.12.7 since i've read something somewhere... I don't remember. How do i get my current binary number? I cannot access to anything but download mode...

In a previous post you noted that you have this "Rp Swrev: B:5 K:3 S:4" in download mode. The B:5 = Binary 5, you would need to match the binary number against firmware you intend to flash in Odin. For example, for the following firmware G935XXXX9CSC2, counting from right to left the 5th number would be the binary number. In the example it is '9'. In your case you would need Binary 5 firmware. If you have downloaded the correct binary firmware and it has still failed to flash you may need to try a different version of Odin (if firmware is Android Oreo, Odin 3.13.1 is needed due to lz4 format). You may need to flash incrementally, please see the link below and follow suggestion as posted in my italicized text below.
In Odin v3.13 U must add all 4 files (BL,AP,CP,CSC)
And in PIT tab you must add pit file
In options you apply Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time
Click Start
https://www.sammobile.com/forum/threads/40890-Odin-error-(can-t-open-the-specified-file-)-line-1892
Further suggestions:
If flash fails add USERDATA Home CSC in slot
If flash fail ... add all except CP
Forgot to mention the obvious ... make sure you are using OEM USB cable.
Redownload the firmware files, I think they are corrupt.
Redowmload odin 3.13.1 (only this version works with oreo firmwares)
Redownload italy's bootloader 5 firmware.
Don't use pit file.
Don't check repartition.
Don't check nand erase.
(All these options are useless and won't do any good (if not bad) on s7 edge)
To explain : pit file is already in csc md5, no need to extract and do pit mapping again..
Nand erase was a dangerous option only used for older samsung phones to repair hard bricked phones in samsung service centers. It erases all the nv data like imei / serial no. and even the download mode (accordingly on old samsung phones). This option is obsolete on latest samsung phones which are hard coded to not delete nv data and download mode etc so this option does nothing in new phones, also internal memory gets erased when csc.md5 is flashed !
Repartition option is useless too, as csc.md5 file repartitions automatically.
(Repartition option's only use is that when people want to upgrade from a previous android version WITHOUT losing data, they can select HOME_CSC.md5 while flashing the newer firmware and repartition box checked, I don't know if it works correctly..)
Just select auto reboot and F.reset timer in odin options.
If still it throws some error then phone's internal memory got some hardware problem.

Use 7zip to extract the CSC file from the firmware you downloaded from sammobile. After extraction you'll find the PIT file in the folder.
Start Odin 3.14
Go to options tab and enable re-partition and nand erase
Go to pit tab
Click on pit and select the pit file you extracted from the firmware
Now preload the BL, AP, CP and CSC md5 files
Click start and wait

And for removing FRP lock the easiest way of doing this is by using a tool named FRP HiJacker by Hagard
