Hi guys my n910f freshly out of the box said there was a 80mb or so update. It downloads it fine boots to recovery and the fails to install it and says there was an error and restarts, boots to home screen. There its says send report and use kies I tried this but it also fails with unknown error.
Current firmware is N910FXXU1ANIE
Any help appreciated
Okay.... I'm obviously the only one to suffer this issue.
Do you guys think it safe to odin a firmware, i'm thinking I might have a corrupted system as neither ota or kies updates install, both download but error on install.
Thoughts please

I never had problems with flashing new firmware. But yesterday I thought to flash the newest stock rom I9505XXUFNC4, and I got:
Nand write start!
Complete(Write) operation failed.
After that, I cannot boot anymore until I flash a Pit file. I also tried to install TWRP, CWM and the last rom. Nothing, nothing and nothing. Now my root is gone and my wifi doesn't work anymore.
I'm scared that when I factory reset the thing, that I can't install a new rom. Can someone 'please' advice me what to do? For example, can I install stock rom with ADB?
I would re-download the stock firmware and try again. Maybe try an older version

I downloaded it a few times. And the other version was working fine. But as you can read in my post: I can't install anything but the pit file.

So, it'll boot only of you flash the pit first in Odin?

When I try to flash something, I got that error. After that it's not booting anymore. 'Problem updating firmware' message. After flashing the pit, it's booting like normal.
I tried other USB ports and cable, as some people on the net ar suggesting, but that didn't worked.

Can you boot into recovery or download mode?
What recovery do you have installed?
I have a Galaxy S4 LTE-A E330SK and have had problems similar to that when trying to install an older firmware or same version on top of the version already on there. Recovery wouldn't boot, and if Android booted, everything would force close. (I like breaking my own phone just to see if I can fix it lol.)
Any time I had severe problems that would not enable me to boot or use Odin, I boot into Recovery, under Advanced, format System, Data, Cache, sdcard, media/sdcard and reboot. That erases everything (your operating system and everything on sdcard0) and if you are stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo, then you are good to go. Reboot into Download mode, connect your cable, and open Odin. (By the way I also found out you will get errors if you try to flash twice in a row without closing and reopening Odin, so keep that in mind.)
This I would consider a clean install of Android.
Now for the iffy part... Everybody says do NOT check the repartition box when you flash the new ROM. But what I do is make sure I have the correct PIT file for my firmware version. Add PIT file under PIT in Odin, add your firmware md5 file under PDA (or AP,) tick repartition, untick Auto-Reboot (my E330SK would automatically revert back to stock recovery with Auto-Reboot selected.) F Reset Time ticked, and Start. You should have no errors now.
There might be a better way without having to format those filesystems I've stated, but haven't found it. This way has always gotten me out of a sticky situation.
Keep in mind as well, I have never been able to downgrade to an older version of Android. So recommended if you try this do it with the same firmware or newer version that is currently on your phone.

Might I mention I am using CWM Recovery as well
Yeah but I tried to install a new version and tried afterwards the current version on my phone. Tried as I already stated, several things to install and the only thing I could install, was the pit file.
Yesterday I installed CMW with Heimdall method. That worked. After that I install root from within CMW with ADB. And because I got an old backup, I didn't wanna go back that far and only flashed (with ADB) boot.img. Now I got a working phone.
I really want to update to latest firmware, but I'll try after the weekend. Don't want my weekend to be headached
Anyway. Thx for your response!

After trying and trying and trying, finally one of the USB ports let me push the new firmware (NC9) to my phone! (with Odin). After that my sd-card was unmounting itself all the time and giving errors as filesystem not recognized and being blank. Location methods didn't work correct etc.
Yesterday I managed to flash the NC4 firmware, and all is working well now!

Please help!!!!
I have a SM-G900F S5.
Just updated to XXU1BNL9 Lollipop.
Not clean install, I upgraded it. All official releases from Sammobile, done with Odin 3.09.
Upgrade went all ok, fine, up & running.
Tried to install TWRP 2.8.4.0, also with Odin 3.09
10/10 times it fails with write error.
Any ideas???
Would like to root my phone, so this first step would be really necessary!
Thx!
I fixed Odin fail with a pit file...
Download pit fie for your device...
Open Odin... Flash firmware
When Odin fail... Unplug cable... Plug it back... Uncheck that box with pda (and leave it there) ... Load pit file... And hit start even if the error is still there... After U hit start button It should finish and auto reboot
I USED THIS METHOD JUST FOR FIRMWARE FAIL... I DON'T KNOW IT WILL WORK WITH CWM FAIL in Odin
Also... You should try to download again twrp... Or another source... Version... Etc im sure that the error it's because of the cwm file

Thx for the ideas, I will try them.
I tried to unplug-replug cable, download other TWRP, also from different sources.
Seems as if it was some writing authentication issue of some kind - but no idea, why.

I tried everything else expect the pit file.
I did not find a pit file for the XXU1BNL9 version.
Also, I did not find ClockworkMod for Lollipop, only for 4.4.x
So, I triedTWRP 2.8.1.0 and 2.8.4.0 - both ending the same way: The recover flashing starts with Odin, and then it is almost immadiately fails with some write problem. It seems as if the recovery tar.md5 is not compatibl with the ROM version, or as if some mysterious Samsung protection would reject the recovery flash.
Strange thing is, that all forums (e.g. droidviews, ibtimes, xda, etc.) give a description about rooting this ROM, and not even one mentiones any phenomenon like this.
Hi, Ive been stuck with this problem for about 3 days now. I have tried EVERYTHING possible and now I'm getting impatient. I've tried every advice on almost every forum or blog. But still cant seem to resolve the issue.
I was running echoe rom 5.1 and tried to flash cm 12 on it through philz recovery. It failed the first time but I was able to access philz. Then I tried to flash stock firmware through Odin and I dont know what happened, it failed and I got an error "Firmware upgrade failed and try recovering through kies...."
I tried kies, my device wasnt able to connect( I tried all the ports and cables I have) and even reinstalled kies just to check. No luck.
Then I killed all the kies processes and tried to flash a stock firmware, this time odin gave an error "PIT partition not found".
I have tried multiple PIT files for i9505 16gb with multiple stock roms on multiple versions of Odin (1.85, 3.07, 3.09, 3.10) some forums asked to tick 're-partition', some said to untick 'auto reboot', Ive tried all of them, still fails.
I can only access download mode on my phone right now, not philz recovery and neither stock android recovery.
my write protection is also enabled, I think this is the core issue, once the protection is disabled, PIT can re partition and flash a stock, and once a stock is flashed, I can flash any recovery and flash any custom ROM through that.
I have been flashing and rooting androids since the last 2 years and never encountered such a problem. Always found some solution online.
I would really appreciate if you guys could help with the problem. Thanks
You're device got soft bricked because you flash philz recovery and its outdated (and so does as CWM recovery) you should have flash TWRP recovery, anyways try to flash stock

hi
my galaxy note 4 sm-n910g had a recent motherboard change through Samsung service. after about a month when I tried to update firmware it was not being completed and showed a message that I should approach service centre, I installed update myself using smartswitch. after about a week phone was not working and showed a message warranty bit kernel at top. I tried many ways to install firmware using kies, smartswitch and odin. oneclick root, cwm etc were installed and odin showed green pass. but firmware cannot be installed with any version of odin, I used odin 3.09, 3.10, 3.10.7, 3.12.3 etc. full copying is shown with odin 3.12.3 but fail at end and phone shows message 'secure check fail- modem'. service centre people say I have to change motherboard again. can I do anything to resolve this problem.
Maybe ? The motherboard they put in wasn't a "G" and the tars your trying to flash aren't working???

I just flashed TWRP for the first time but it comes up with "Unmodified System Partition" but touchscreen doesn't work for some reason so I cant select anything. I tried removing the battery and rebooting my phone (Galaxy S4 19505) But it just boots back into recovery for TWRP in the "Unmodified System Partition" . Please Help, thanks.
Edit: Should I delete the TWRP disk image from my pc? (My phone also keeps vibrating while turned off). I have also noticed that there is a non physical home back and menue button, did I download the wrong version? I used the TWRP app to download and flash the image.

How do I update baseband? I cant find it anywhere
baseband should be somewhere on xda, if you can't find it than try different bootloader ,latest one

I recommend using Odin to flash the latest stock rom to the phone. Then, check to ensure the phone is working properly.
