yes but he say There is no PIT partition.
how is that possible?

Not sure. Try different port and cable. Phone is in download mode?

It is working! You have right I must first put the phone to Pc to install drivers now it's is done! Thanks rcobourn

Problem after firmware flash

Hey there people from XDA Forums,
I kind of figure I messed my S4 (I9505) up. I tried to flash a DBT-firmware (branding free for Germany) on a phone I got from Switzerland including a netlock. After Odin started I got a write error and now the phone tells me there was an issue please ask Kies about recovery mode. But Kies doesn't recognice my Phone at all. Is there any chance i can get a new working firmware onto it?
greetings

Hi mate
This is an extract from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Odin troubleshooting: If Odin accidentally gives you "fail" try the following:
- Repeat procedure.
- Make sure that all actions of Kies are disabled from task manager.
- Change usb port.
- Try another usb cable (make sure it is the original).
- Try another Odin version.
- Uninstall and re-install driver.
- Use pit file.
- Try another computer.
Flashing firmware from other country should not be a problem , download file again
Where do I find a correct pit file? When flashing PIT is it always nessecary to check repartition in odin?

Hi
In your case it would be :
File Type: zip I9505_pit file.zip - [Click for QR Code] (1.2 KB, 43344 views)
Is on the thread i posted before , you only check repartition when you use a PIT file , any other case you do not
finally I managed to flash a new recovery and where able to restart the phone. As it seems the problem was my Computer. through the old notebook from my wife it went quite flawless. Now i am back to my original problems. I am on a branded rom with a sim lock and dont like both of it
will it work to just flash the complete firmware from my region? will it overwrite the netlock or where is it located?
Thanks for your help so far

Hi,
Glad you manage it to work.
Flashing a new firmware will not network unlock you phone , use to be possible to do it using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683
not anymore as far as i know , you will need an unlock code.
yeah, tried this one allready, but after key input I dont get a new menu. I guess this method is not working for newer austrian firmwares

What did you do before this all of this happened? You need to be very careful with PIT files, it is a sure way to brick your phone if not done right or with the incorrect PIT file. Usually, loading a PIT file is your absolute last resort.

Flashing pit files should be the last resort after failing the proper flashing of the official firmware.
Uneducated flashing of pit files can lead to a hardbrick.
That is why I said. Try flashing the official firmware from a different pc. Or use a different data cable. Or change everything.
Still if the pit error occurs, then flash put and then the official firmware.
Download the official firmware from here

FAILED flashing a custom ROM.

I tried to root my device (Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005) and it went quite well.
Then I tried to flash a custom rom (Darkwolf S7 edge port) on my phone but I ended up in a bootloop where it was stuck on the samsung logo for hours.
I tried different stuff to get out of it but nothing worked so I decided to flash the stock rom onto my phone and at the odin status I get "FAIL". And on my device it shows "Volume Size is too big 4620289 < 4718599. And my phone is unusable. I need some help asap to fix it.
Please Help!!!
What is the phone model?
You used a stock ROM from sammobile.com in Odin?

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005.
Yes,I used a stock ROM from sammobile.com in Odin.
But I get "FAIL!" over and over again...with the message,"Volume size is too big......",on my phone.
Have you tried using different version of Odin, different USB cables, and USB ports? You may need to flash the stock ROM with a pit file.

I've tried everything except for using a pit file. I don't really know much about using a pit file so I'm a bit apprehensive.
Could you help?
I have the exact same problem, but without the volume thing, I need help!

Hey there Flash!! xD
Its a pain..isn't it?
Anyway I figured out how to fix the phone finally...
You'll need to flash the custom ROM with the PIT,CP,AP, and CSC files.
Here's the link...http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...ader-csc-pit-files&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82
>Download the file suitable for your phone and specific model...Extract those files.. BE VERY CAREFUL TO CHOSE YOUR SPECIFIC MODEL!!!
>Launch Odin...
>Put you phone in Download mode and connect it...
>Load the PIT,CP,AP and CSC files in their respective slots..
*DON'T FORGET TO CHECK THE "RE-PARTITION" OPTION*
>And then hit the "start" button and pray...IT WORKS!!!
However this will erase EVERYTHING on your phone...all the user data...if you have some photos/videos/songs/EVERYTHING...your sd card should be safe though.
I hope this works for you...it worked for me..
Let me know if it does!! Have a nice day!!

placing a specific pit fit got me pass map and now gets stuck at hlo bin.. I think the downgrade firmware changed something cause windows sees phone as device called msm8960 . Odin sees it as far as a com port but beyond that its not a 910v anymore

Try this method if your bootloader is unlocked or you got developer edition n910v.
Flash twrp in odin
Make complete wipe 3× 3 times
(dalvik cache/data/cache/system/internal storage)
After wipe go to download mode
Close odin and open again as (run as administrator)& upload firmware (AP)
Hit start Flash firmware
After flash firmware DONT LET THE PHONE BOOT
go to recovery
Wile cache & data factory reset
Reboot & wait 5 to 10 minutes.
Report back

A 910F with a Verizon mobo?
Might be tricky to flash.
You can access download mode?
Tried different cables / USB ports?
I really doubt that you can flash stock ROM from SD when phone is boot looping.
Maybe with terminal but you would have to flash TWRP for that first.

installation via Odin failed

i dont own a s7 but i think you shouldnt download custom roms via odin but from twrp... But do you mean stock rom then yes use odin. Find your firmware on sammobile and unzip it and use the .tar file on odin while your phone is connected on the pc with download modus and then click start it will reboot and then youve got your stock rom..

youd be surprised at how often its the cable. We always suggest to use the factory cable when available and a very high quality aftermarket when the factory one isnt available. Different computer, different firmware etc etc etc. Glad you got it working via the power of helpful people on this forum!
