Urgent help (stuck in Firmware upgrade) - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I am having some serious difficulties with my verizon note 3. Last night my phone started boot looping so I decided to wipe and recover from my backup. I did the factory reset and all was well but safestrap would not recognize my backup so I attempted to install the stock Jasmine Rom (which I was using when the boot loop happened). Every time I tried to install I would get the E: unable to mount 'system' and 'systemorig'. I tried to wipe the system and it did not work, so I tried to format the internal memory which did not work. Today I tried to flash stock ROM using Odin 3.09. I also downloaded the "pit" file to attempt to repartition the drive and Odin is failing as well because of an authorization error I believe.
Here is the Odin information:
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/003> FAIL! (Auth)
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
On the Firmware upgrade screen on my phone it reads
ODIN MODE

System Status: Official
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0

Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable (CSB)

Write Protection: Enable
UDC START
SW REV CHECK FAIL: [aboot]Fused 3 (greater than) Binary 1
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Have I successfully bricked my phone?
Sorry if this has been covered before but I could not find anything that has worked, and I have tried so many things that people say to do on forums that I may have caused more damage to my phone than there was in the first place :crying:
Since last night I have not had a phone and I need to get this thing working ASAP because I need it for work.

You're not running VMWare are you? I had a similar error when trying to use ODIN on a work VMWare machine - it always failed. Once I went home to my desktop - ODIN successfully flashed.

No I am not running VMWare, but trying it on a different computer isn't a bad idea. I'll try it on my other desktop as soon as I get ODIN and the drivers installed. Thanks for the idea
Edit: Tried on a different computer, downloaded a different stock .tar.md5 file, did not try to flash the 'pit' file (re-partition)(some other forum told me to do that), and made sure that only auto reboot and f. reset time were checked. Odin passed and I am currently back on stock firmware with a working phone! Thank you BigMcguire and the rest of the XDA forums that i looked through to help me fix this!

[Q] Soft bricked (hopefully) my phone when rooting. Help, please?

A few months ago, I got a (Verizon) Samsung Galaxy S4 (it was "free" with contract). I successfully rooted it not long after.
Just a couple weeks ago, an update was released through the verizon network, so blindly I decided to use the update, only to find out afterwards that it removed my root. I tried the same method I used before to root it, only to find people saying that the newest OTA (Over The Air) update made rooting impossible.
After a fair amount of searching, I found a method which supposedly would work (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487142). I used the method, however it did not work, and my phone was stuck in download mode.
After previous reading, I learned that the only way to manually exit download mode was to take out the battery. Though the root attempt had failed, it was obvious that something had occurred, so I was hesitant to use the brute force method of exiting download mode. However, without knowing an alternative, I removed the battery.
Now, whenever I try to turn on my phone, I merely get the message "Firmware update has encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
If it helps, the text displayed in the upper corner with this message is:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I545
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enabled
eMMC BURST MODE enabled
I have tried firmware upgrade and initialization in Kies3, but an error message is shown saying "SCH-I545 does not support initialization", When I tried Kies2, it just told me that the device was not responding.
I am still able to enter download mode.
When I try to flash an os using odin, I get these results:
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9500): Bricked After Trying To Install Custom Recovery

Hello.
I got a new Galaxy S4 (I9500) this October, and decided I would go ahead and install custom recovery on it. Me thinking I can get anything to work did not heed the warnings that this model does not support it go ahead and try anyway. After several failed attempts I find some software on the Play store that seems promising. Long story short, I no longer have a functioning recovery partition, and my phone will always try to boot into recovery mode unless I boot in Odin mode.
I have tried to follow several guides, most of which tell me the same thing:
Get Samsung drivers (not Kies)
Download Odin (one version or another)
Get the I9500 Firmware and install using Odin.
My phone is (from the sticker below the battery):
MODEL:GT-I9500
FCC ID: A3LGTI9500
SSN:-I9500GSMH
It is also factory unlocked.
I did notice however that the text in the top left when in Odin mode says it is a SGH-I337
The full text:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

eMMC BURST MODE: enabled
I have tried flashing both 4.4.2 (as it was delivered with) and 5.0.1, but I get the same error:
<ID:0/005> Odin engine v(ID:3.1100)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..

The error that is displayed on the phone is:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Note 4 Boot Loop - Tried KIES and Flashing Stock ROM - Still Looping

Hey ya'll, this past Saturday my Note 4 started a boot loop while using Baconreader. I was using stock ROM, unrooted, T-Mobile. I first deleted the cache partition, then did a factory reset, but neither worked.
I tried flashing with Odin v3.09, using ROMS from SamMobile:
4.4.4 ANK4
5.0.1 COD6
5.0.1 COG2
Each time I would get
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/003> SingleDownload.

<ID:0/003> sbl1.mbn
<ID:0/003> rpm.mbn
<ID:0/003> FAIL! (Auth)
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
And on the phone in download mode was:
Odin Mode (High Speed)
Product Name: SM-N910T
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Reactivation Lock: Off
Knox Warranty Void: 0x0
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable (CSB)
AP Swerv: S1, T1, R1, A2, P1
Secure Download: Enable
UDC Start
SW Rev Check Fail : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1
[1]eMMC write fail: ABOOT
I then used the latest ROM from SamMobile, 6.0.1 EPE3, and everything worked. Odin flashed it and the installation was good. But as soon as it finished and booted for the first time the boot loop started again. I tried using KIES to do a emergency firmware restore but it would not pick up my Note 4 (Using a Samsung USB Cord) I tried it with and without Samsung USB Drivers installed. I'm starting to think it may be a hardware problem, honestly though I have no idea. I would like to get some other opinions before I send off for a new one. (No warranty over a year old) Thanks in advance, and sorry if the formatting is long, I figured it would be easier to read if everything was spaced out. Thanks in advance.

Note 4, no binary PIT found

Hello
I wanted to use my Samsung Note 4 again.
When i started it, i came into the recovery mode.The phone seems not to start into the os.
The phone was working normaly before.
I made a factory reset and tried to restart the phone. But it got stuck.
So i removed the batterie and put it back in to turn the phone on, but i wouldnt. I removed the battery and waited a bit.
I again came into recovery mode.
Then i decided just to flash a new firmware via odin.
So i downloaded the official firmware form samfirm and tried to flash it but an error came: 'There is no pit partition'.
On the Note 4 Error: no pit binary
i googled a bit and found out i have to flash the PIT. So i downloaded the right pit for the firmware and tried again. Same Error
I dont know why its not working
I got the firmwares from sammobile. I tried 3 different.
My phone is from austria, so i tried TTR, MOB and DRE. For Pit i have SFR and VFG
What am i doing wrong? what am i missing?
