It can reboot on download mode, but not on recovery...
I just tried to flash it to make him able to boot on recovery mode but it says "Complete(Write) operation failed", the same error message when I try to flash it on a official rom...

If you can reboot in download mode, try to flash a stock rom with odin. it should work. that's how rom's must be flashed with odin, not in recovery mode.

do u have the drivers installed??? download a different stock firmware for your i9505.. and try two ,three firmwares if still failing,, you can get firmwares from http://www.samfirmware.com
and try to flash using Odin make sure your drivers are working also removing Kies if you have as it could interfere..
My device is currently stuck in a bootloop with:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
I've loaded up Kies and it sees my phone is there and tries to connect but will sit there for a few minutes and then says that I need to reboot the device (this doesn't help either, same every time).
I'm unable to boot my phone in to recovery mode. However I am able to boot into download mode. So I've tried flashing root and/or CWM onto it but it fails each time. As does trying to flash stock firmware (or so I believe that's what "I9505XXUBMEA_I9505OXABMEA_I9505XXUBMEA_HOME.t ar" is).
I've searched and found some people suggesting that I try and flash a stock ROM through Odin, but unable to find one in a .tar or .tar.md5 format
I'm completely stuck now and unsure what to do. Can somebody please help me out.

Hi All,
I tried to root my S4 I9505 device, I now get an "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error.
Have tried -
-stock ROM install via Oden......I get an error and nothing happens.
-install PIT file ......again I get an error in Oden.
- Tried Kies.....it wont write the fimrware and an error comes up.
I can still go into download mode but cant go into recovery.
Any help would be appreciated.

Can you get into download mode? If you can, plug it in and try rooting again. I believe you are not supposed to run Kies when you are in the middle of rooting though...

[Q] Can't flash I9500 stock rom?

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

Galaxy S5 SM-G900W8 failed to root

Hey guys,
I tried to root my gf's S5 with CF-AutoRoot's package. I got this for the specific version which I double-checked
Included in the package was Odin and the image with an "installer".
Everything was fine, device detected in Odin, selected image in AP and let it rip... Except I got an error after it was in the process, under UDC start, can't remember exactly as I had restarted the device with the loading bar at like 30% of the way... it stated something dev_state
After I restarted, I got the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
I would've thought it was going to be pretty straight forward and decided not to do a backup but I'm so getting killed if I'm going to lose the data!!!
Any insight? thanks
I tried to get Samsung Kies for the recovery but under the list of devices requiring emergency recovery it won't detect it...
I managed to retry the Odin flash with the same outcome.
The error message is unsupport dev_type if that makes any sense to someone
Well issue seems to have fixed itself by flashing latest TWRP... The Odin flash went smooth and phone booted normally...
must've been something off with the AutoRoot
