So here's a run down of what has happened:
1) My phone prompts me to upgrade to 4.3
2) Following the update, the phone boots but is unresponsive; (just keeps on saying that app has crashed)
3) Tried to go into recovery mode, but it didn't
4) Used the Kies Emergency Firmware Upgrade method but it stopped and said that an error has occured
5) Now my phone is in a state where booting brings me to an error message that says "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
I have already tried to use Odin to flash a stock rom onto it several times already. I used both 3.04 and 3.07 versions with the 4.22 ser and 4.3 ser roms and they have all failed at Nand write or Can't open the serial(COM) port. or etc.
I've been browsing the forums for a day now and no help. Do you guys have any suggestions?
(I can still enter download mode.)
Bump.
Does anyone have any alternative methods other than flashing stock with Odin until it works? I'm just getting fail messages
I was trying to flash a modem/bootloader for my phone after the initial flash of a new ROM and the Odin failed to flash the modem and my phone is now stuck in a
" Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & Try Again. "
However, Kies doesn't recognise my device (I use a custom ROM before the one I was trying to flash as well) and I cannot do anything to my phone right now. What do I do? I cannot even get it into recovery mode to restore my phone or try to flash the modem again.
I tried the Kies emergency recovery mode but my phone is not displayed there and it says my phone isn't compatible with Kies 3, so trying the normal samsung Kies right now.
Anyone with a recovery code for the Samsung N-910G?
Need some help please!
EDIT: Solved the problem by flashing the modem and bootloader again and works this time round.

Hi,
I'm from Singapore and I believe I have the international s5 (SM-G900F), at least that's what it says in download mode. My phone was running CM13 nightly and till last night it was working fine. Last night when I charged it, I woke up this morning and my battery was incredibly overheated. I changed my battery and tried booting, but now it gets stuck in a bootloop. I flashed stock 5.0 lollipop from sammobile via odin, but it still is stuck. I can boot perfectly into download mode with the android logo. Here are the details:
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G900F
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
System Status: Custom
Reactivation Lock (KK): OFF
KNOX WARRANTY LOCK: 0x1 (04)
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE(CSB)
RP SWERV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
UDC START
I would really appreciate any help. Thanks!
Boot into recovery and factory reset, then try booting again
Sounds like the DATA partition got corrupted, or something installed to it did, flashing with ODIN doesn't wipe anything, so you'll still be bootlooped unless you wipe DATA / Factory Reset
When you go from cyanogenmod back to stock samsung firmware, a wipe data / factory reset is required in recovery or else the phone will be stuck in a boot loop or not boot up.
Hi, the problem is I cant access the recovery any more. Every time I hold power, volume up and the home button, it says recovery booting, warranty bit:kernel, kernel is not se android enforcing (the usual) but doesn't actually enter recovery.

Flash TWRP 3.0.0.0 with ODIN and wipe from there, then flash stock again
https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.0.0-0-klte-klte.img.tar.html
Hi I tried flashing twrp but that didn't work. It doesnt enter recovery, it still just restarts.
Is there any other way I can do a wipe? Through adb or something? Or should I select a specific option in Odin (3.09) ? Like bootloader update, etc or something?

Uncheck "Auto Reboot" in ODIN, flash TWRP again, when it completes, disconnect USB and pull the battery to power off the phone
Replace the battery, and boot immediately into recovery with Vol Up & Home & Power
Hi that's not working as well. Should I reflash stock and then flash twrp in the way you suggested?
Try, but something seems wrong because you should be able to flash TWRP with ODIN
Have you got the drivers installed and does ODIN give you a COM port at the top when the phone is in download mode?
You are putting the phone in download mode to flash TWRP right?
Vol Down & Home & Power
Yes I'm using Odin 3.09. I'm flashing via the AP slot. I only have F Reset time checked. My S5 is definitely in downloading mode. Looks similar to this:

Also, I think the drivers may be the issue here. Could you advise me on how to check and how to fix it? Thanks so much! Also, yes, the COM port lights up

If the COM port lights up, the drivers are installed and working
Try ODIN 3.10.7, that's the latest version

Hi, that also didn't work. Any other advice?
Use a different PC / USB lead, everything you have tried should have worked fine on a G900F
Hi, I tried using a different PC and USB cable. Still nothing. Could it be because I flashed a different PIT file previously? There was a thread where someone suggested flashing a pit file, so

Didn't you flash the G900F PIT?
Flash this in the PIT section of ODIN along with the stock ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2721101&d=1399024091
Extract to .pit first
Hi, I tried flashing the stock rom with the PIT you gave me but it gave me the following response:
<ID:0/005> FAIL! (Size)
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Any ideas what I should do now? Also, which stock rom should I be flashing? KK or Lollipop?
I don't know what you've done to your phone, and from your main post, it is definitely a G900F if that is what it says in download mode
Which PIT did you flash the first time? And did it flash successfully?
Any stock ROM should work, but might as well go for Lollipop, I know 100% this one works

The only thing I can think of for now is to tell KIES3 to perform a firmware recovery
Code:
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/
If you already have KIES installed, remove it and try ODIN again, people have reported it interferes with ODIN
If not, install KIES3, go to the firmware recovery setting and see if it can fix your phone
Other than that, it looks like it's going to need someone with knowledge of manual partitioning via adb shell or something, if the phone can enter a mode the PC can use that with
EDIT - You are using a native PC running Windows 7 or later right? Not a mac running Windows? Macs don't install the drivers properly and fail
Yup I'm running Windows 10. I'll try KIES and see if that works!
Which PIT did you originally flash? And did it actually flash?
somebody can tell me step by step what to do? I'm stuck in a bootloop and i tried to install the stock firmware with odin but it keeps failing Odin says that after i started it, everything is ok and i get a "pass" in Odin but it just keeps rebooting i only can get into download mode, not into recovery mode And when the phone starts to boot, i just get this black screen with the samsung galaxy S5 on it and in the top corner in blue letters "recovery booting ..." and then it goes black and restart ...
Can anybody help me i'm kinda desperate
Hi, try with pit file check your pm´s

Whatdo i do with the file? Flash it with odin and then? Do i flash a new rom after it?
i tried to flash it again and used that PIT file but still the same result any other suggestions? Or is my phone ready for the recycle bin? :crying:
Flash it whit the rom
Does it say G900F in download mode?
Odin mode
Product Name : SM-G900F
Current binary : Samsung official
System status : Custom
Reactivation lock (KK) : Off
Knox waranty void : 0x1 (2)
Qualcomm secureboot : Enable (CSB)
Ap survey : S1, T1, A1, A1, P1
Secure download : Enable
UDC start
Thats what it says ...
Sounds like something in DATA is corrupted, which ODIN does not wipe
So flashing ROMs with ODIN won't fix it, you need to wipe the phone
Almost the same thing was happening with another member the other day, using ODIN option "Nand erase all" while flashing the ROM to wipe the phone, and then using KIES3 to recover the firmware was their fix
After Nand erase all, the phone would only enter download mode, KIES3 fixed that with the firmware recovery process
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/

Or you could try flashing TWRP with ODIN, and see if you can get into TWRP recovery first, factory reset from there
I tried to put TWRP on my S5 with odin but that didn't work ...
Now i just flashed the phone with a new rom and with "Nand erase all" ticked and then do a firmware upgrade with "Kies" but unfortunately that didn't worked either :crying:
any other suggestions?
In ODIN, uncheck "Auto reboot"
Flash TWRP
When it completes disconnect USB and remove battery to power off
Replace battery and immediately boot into recovery
Volume Up & Home & Power
ANd you need to add more details other than "It didn't work" or we can't help
Ok i did what you suggested and at first it starts up with this on the screen :
Recovery booting .... (in blue letters)
Set warranty bit: recovery (in yellow letters)
then it just reboots without this text on it but it just keeps rebooting ... i dont get to see any thing else but the samsung galaxy s5 powered by android screen ...
And what does KIES firmware recovery say?
With the kies program i get thesame result ... it just stucks in the bootloop ...
No, what does KIES say when you run the firmware recovery?
I'm going to leave you to it, can't help you when you just keep repeating the same thing "Doesn't work"
Im not home at the moment,i will give it another go when im at home and tell you what it sayw
Ok, i opened Kies and searched for that emergency recovery firmware that you talked about but i don't see a option to select my phone??
Here is a printscreen from kies and my phone connected i download mode ...
