[Q] Soft bricked, wiping data didn't help, Odin fails. Help please - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Like I said in the title, I was trying to flash a new ROM on my phone, got stuck in a bootloop. Thought I had flashed wrong, tried again. Failed. Tried a different ROM zip. Failed. Tried the 'mild' unbrick by wiping everything, failed. Got into download mode, downloaded a stock ROM and a PIT file, loaded up Odin, have tried running it at least a dozen times. I have the USB drivers and Odin recognizes my phone properly, but it either says 'fail!' with a (succeed 0/ fail 1) or just quits with a (succeed 0/ fail 0).
Help please!
Edit: About to give up, randomly tried booting it and it worked! No idea what happened. Disregard!

[Q] Complete (Write) operation failed

Hi, I tried to root my device today (CF Auto Root )and got the complete (write) operation failed thing with "Failed" in the box using Odin. I forgot to enable USB debugging... So I read that I had to re flash stock firmware, I downloaded it and tried to install that but I then got the same message,complete (write) operation failed. Ive tried everything I can think of, such as making sure Kies isn't running, re-downloading drivers and all sorts but nothing I do is changing anything... All I can do is go to download mode... Help?!
Edit: I managed flash PhliZ Touch? I found out that it only stops working once it reaches system.img.ext4 ?
Edit 2: I managed to get it working by installing Cyanogenmod from PhilZ Touch... But I dont know why it didnt work through Odin...

[Q] Odin Firmware Recovery Kitkat failed

Hi,
I am really new to this and basically stuck without a phone (noob move I know).
I wanted to upgrade to Kitkat and downloaded N9005XXUENB4_N9005DBTENB1_DBT and odin v3.09.
I started up in download mode and got the following failure:
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
How do I restore so I can even just start my phone. Currently I only get the error saying upgrade failed- connect to Kies. But I again being noob never setup kies backup before.
PLEASE PLEASE help.

Flash NB4 again but this time also flash this pit file and check repartition. If phone is getting stuck at samsung logo upon reboot, boot to recovery and factory reset.
Well first what your model, this is n9005
is your download complete, did you have the drivers installed (kies installed but you need to kill it - in order to odin to work without issues)
go through this, page, it has detail procedure in odin flash of the same ROM.

@antz69 , hope that helps.

What does newst firmware mean? KK? If yes you need to use the correct recovery or autoroot image for kk or below kk it seems you flashed the wrong version
/edit it seems you try to downgrade

[Q] "Firmware upgrade encounter and issue" after flashing wrong recovery.

Hi! I have problem
I flashed official LOLLIPOP for N9005 from Poland and everything went okay.
Then I stupidly tried to install TWRP via Odin and it seemed it caused an issue. It must have been wrong TWRP.
Now everytime I want to turn on, the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
I tried to flash once again LOLLIPOP ROM but there is an error:
<ID:0/004> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Any idea what can I do?

Can not boot into rom, custom recovery blocked and firmware upgrade issue.

Hi, today I factory reseted my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime [SM-G531M] from the settings app using the official rom. The thing is, when I booted the phone, it didn't show up the setup page, it just kept restarting, and every time that it booted up, it would show up "Custom binary blocked by FRP". I'm now trying to use Odin to fix this, but I don't know what to do. The process already failed two times and failed, showing this in the log: " <ID:0/004> system.img
<ID:0/004> __XmitData_Write
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)"
When I boot my phone in download mode it now shos "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
I already tried kies but it never finished connecting to the phone.
I've tried 2 cables, both the original and another and tried 3 different USB 2.0 ports. I've also installed the newest drivers.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me.
Edit: I had previouslly installed TWRP and factory reseted my phone successfully more than once.
