after mounting /system/apps as r/w and deleting a few bloatware apps (and trying to remove the knox and carrier iq files - i know, i know, i should have frozen them, but these were just the APK's, i hadn't uninstalled or removed the actual apps), my phone won't boot into android anymore.. is there anything i can flash to get android up and running again without tripping knox? so i can't get into adb but i can get into recovery and fastboot. is it possible to run a custom recovery through "fastboot boot <recovery img file>" or does the bootloader need to be unlocked? i don't really care what method is used as long as i can get back into android and not trip the knox counter. preferably would like to save my data, but not a big deal if i lose it. i'm on android 4.4.2 t-mobile N900T baseband NB4 rooted 0x0. thanks!

ok! i think i know what the problem is, at least i hope. (otherwise i'm out of ideas!) after searching all over the internet i found a few threads where people were having the exact same issue, and we all had one thing in common - we were all running odin in windows using vmware on a mac. i'll try flashing the stock firmware again on my windows PC in a bit and hopefully that works.

Yes. Vmware is broken with usb. I use parallels and it works flawlessly. Might look into that. I think parallels can even import your old vmware images.
God luck!

so i plugged it into my windows PC, and strangely enough kies 3 wouldn't recognize it there either, saying it doesn't support my device. so i couldn't do the emergency recovery, but i got the phone out of the error screen and back into odin download mode, and then was able to successfully flash the firmware image and get back into android with all my data intact.
is odin the way way to flash the firmware from a computer or is there a way to do it in linux? i have heimdall for mac but i'm not too confident about using it for something like recovering from a soft brick..

I didn't really explain my situation well sorry. I went through all the steps to unroot my s4 but I ended up with slightly different firmware than what I originally had so wifi wont even turn on and kies does not detect the device at all. Right now I am reflashing to see if that helps.

Phone will NOT connect to kies, I get an error saying "This phone is not supported". My version of kies does see my att n3 just fine though. I can connect to odin it looks like. Cannot boot into recovery, it just boots into dl mode with the error message. Unknown how the phone got in this state.

Hey Y'all,
So I've been trying to root my 5.0.1 S4, but could not do it for the life of me. I figured since the CF Auto Root file was made for 4.4.2, I would try flashing back to that with Odin. After getting the correct build for my device, I've been trying to get it to flash, but it got to system, and then stalled forever. I let it run overnight, and it hadn't progressed, so I tried restarting. Now, it fails in a matter of seconds, but I keep seeing progress on the phone's blue bar.
[Q] AM I wasting my time trying to flash an old build? If so, should I just use a custom rom so I get my root? And if so, which one should I use (I'm new to this phone mod stuff.)
Thanks in advance!

Yes, stop before you brick your device. CF Auto Root works for Lollipop. Or Odin TWRP and flash SuperSU zip. Or just flash a rooted ROM. Read the OPs and decide which one sounds like the best fit for you.

Uncheck Auto Reboot and F Reset (everything) when using Odin. And wait a minute after it says PASS before unplugging. Also try different ports and cables.
I can only find .img files for TWRP, I haven't yet been able to find any .tar files. Any tips on where to get a recovery file to use with Odin?
Yeah, definitely cannot restart my phone at the point, it's referring me to Kies to recover. Kies won't connect, either 3.0 or 2.6. So At this point I guess I'm hoping flashing a custom ROM will work...otherwise, is my phone bricked?

TWRP can flash images now.
Flash this build of TWRP first. (It's a .tar for Odin)
https://dl.twrp.me/jfltespr/twrp-2.8.4.0-jfltespr.tar
Copy this build to your device somewhere. (You might as well go ahead and copy a ROM you want to install on your device also.)
https://dl.twrp.me/jfltespr/twrp-2.8.7.0-jfltespr.img
Boot into TWRP and go to install. Select images button at the bottom right and select the build you copied to your device. You will now be running the current version of TWRP.
WOOOOOO!
After a ton of troubleshooting and grief, I finally got 5.0.1 back on, and working. I also discovered that my front usb port was not working correctly. I guess I'll try to root it now!
Aaaaaand, it seems to have worked flawlessly. Thanks for all the help guys!
I have a spare galaxy s5 at home that I would like to get up and going, it's kltedv. Every time it boots the phone restarts and gives android crash errors. I've flashed stock onto it and it still does the same thing. Is there a way to rebuild everything using Odin that may fix it?

Sounds like you didn't factory reset your device. Before you factory reset, I recommend flashing TWRP recovery, mount your phone in recovery so you can back up important files to your PC if required.
After you've backed-up your files
Reboot (yes reboot, so switch your device off first) into the recovery menu (hold vol up + home + power), then select wipe data. This will wipe all data from your phone.

Where you cumming frop lolipop rom and flashed marshmallow or nougat rom ? If yes have you tick bootloader update in odin ? Rom will never boot without this update ! Try this if the previous good advice from Saber didn't help .
Everything is wiped. This is what happens when booting. Lines going across the screen. What originally happened was the person I got it from he had tried to do a update and the phone turned off. So I just flashed stock firmware but still get these lines.. Something is corrupted?

Here's my two cents if you've done what @Saber and @1981sebas suggested and still had no luck.
First, make sure the stock you've flashed is the latest MM XSA version to ensure you have the latest bootloader and modem. You can get it from sammobile or updato. It may take a couple of attempts so don't panic if it doesn't stick first time.
If it's still not right, hunt up the PIT files for your device and repartition it. Make sure you get legit files that others have used and had success with. You don't want to flash the wrong PIT. Then try flashing stock again.
Incidentally, have you tried flashing a solid custom ROM like RR or Cosmic? Maybe it's just an issue with your stock file being a bit corrupt if you haven't checked the md5 and any intact ROM will work fine.
My last option would be to try KIES because I personally find it iffy but others have had success with the recover phone option or whatever it's called. If you have KIES installed, just make sure it's disabled when you're using Odin and vice versa.
If none of this works, it may be a hardware issue. Good luck.

I have tried a pit file I have but it didn't seem to do anything with that and re partition checked. I have tried several stock roms. Even tried the firmware with kies and still the same thing happens. Custom rom does the same.. The lines only come up on the screen when its booting.. They never come up in recovery or anything like that

That may be the case.
I'd try to download the latest "low_ship" factory firmware via Samfirm.
It contains a proper pit file in the CSC so it's necessary simply to flash it via Odin to repartition the device and clean everything on it.
Hi. During the update to Android 10 the phone turned off and after switching on it goes into recovery mode.
The phone is not mine and this description was provided to me by the owner of the phone. I was unable to see the phone directly because of the quarantine, so as a first solution I thought about a restore via odin. Has anyone had this problem? And is there a less drastic way than Odin to solve? Because the owner has some data that he would prefer not to lose.

How did you get android 10 on j530f?
I get the same messages when I enter recovery but I'm able to get out. You could use odin to reflash the firmware but keep all the data.
You won't be able to do a thing with Odin if the device doesn't have an unlocked bootloader and USB debugging enabled which I doubt it has seeing as it's a stock update that was attempted.
What happens to the device once plugged into a PC? Is the data corrupt or is the device recognized and files can be seen?
I have the same problem with almost the same recovery messsges. It also says dm verity failed. Odin and samsung 300k tool both dont work.

Not even to flash a stock firmware? It seems strange to me, in the past I have often used odin on my S2 also for the stock ROM.

Hi, the details were given to me by another person, the only thing that I (and this person knows) is that the phone during an update has turned off and reboots in the attached image window.

Put the j5ylte update onto sd card.
Get the update from updato or sammobile or somewhere.
Then reboot stock recovery and apply update from sd card. Or sideload it using adb on a computer. Not very complicated at all
Install the stock rom like i described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/help/to-stock-rom-t4099857
