Dear all,
After my phone freeze during a umount internal sdcard process, I cant turn it on and it is stuck on Samsung logo.
I can access it through Odin and adb shell, and I discovered there is a corruption table/patition there, as adb parted command reported in /dev/block/mmcblk0: "error: Both the primary and backup GPT tables are corrupt. Try making a fresh table, and using Parted´s rescue feature to recover partitions"
So, I´d like to ask if somebody could help me uploading a valid pit files to be flashed in a i9500 model?
I found a pit in other topic here, but I didnt if it is a valid pit for i9500. So, I cant flash it until Im 100% sure about it. See the pit magic report and adonis.pit attached.
I really appreciate your help!!! Tks a lot!!!

Guys, Just to post my experience on trying to revive my S4 i9500: It revived!!!
So, I did this:
1) I used the ROM I9500XXUAMDK_I9500SERAMDK_I9500XXUAMDK_HOME.tar.md5 (link: http://live.samsung-updates.com/) look for your correct ROM by region.
2) The adonis.pit file (see attached on my first post). THIS PIT IS FOR ONLY i9500 S4. Dont use it for other variant!!!!
3) Odin (I used the v3.07, but I think you could use other version)
Ps.: I dont know if is mandatory or not, but my phone was able to connect in it through ODIN and ADB SHELL (Odin is mandatory!!!). So, you need to install all USB and ADB drivers (for the adb drivers I used to AdbDriverInstaller.exe on the link: http://adbdriver.com/upload/AdbDriverInstaller.exe)
4) Put the phone in download mode, pressing button volume down + home + power. The phone will ask you with you like to continue, press up volume button to confirm
5) Open the Odin and marked Auto Reboot, F.Reset Time and Re-Partition options (Re-Partition is automatic flagged when the PIT file is marked/chose.
So, choose the ROM on PDA (Odin will check MD5, so wait it finish to validate the file) and adonis.pit file on PIT field.
PS.: Dont use only pit file. It is mandatory use together the pit file and ROM file. If you flash only pit file, you will brick your phone!!!
6) Press START.
After installation, Odin will return with a GREEN PASSED message!!!
7) The phone will be rebooted and start to finish the instalation.
In my case, the phone revive successfully!!!! :laugh:
I hope this post can help other guys. Use it with carefully!!! For me, this procedure worked like a charm!!! But, use this for your own risk!!!
Good luck!!!
Yay! Congrats mate! Seems like you was out of patience and took the risk of bricking completely your phone.

Yeh friend!! I looked for pit files in many sites and foruns. I just find this pit on a one Chinese site only. So, I looked the Odia post and compared the pit structure there with the pit magic report with the adonis.pit file I got. It was very similar structure and so I decided took the risk!!!
So, the luck was with me!!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Tks so much my friend!!! I hope this post now can help other newbies like me to revive their phones! It's terrible to feel this sensation of torture. hahaha :highfive:
"newbie" like you? A newbie never mess with the partitions hahaha

Questions go in q&a forum, report your post and ask a moderator to move it.
Flashing a wrong file usually requires a new motherboard and/or display. Try the rescue firmware, in general forum, as last resort.
so guys.. im a newbie here.

and i really really need your help.

i tried to recover my device with samsung kies, but kies cannot detect my phone.
i need your help guys...
im an android newbie, just moved from ios
please help me
I had the same exact problem. Flashing CWM Recovery got me out of that nasty screen. You don't need to use the recovery - the mere act of installing it seems to have done the trick for me.
In the end I couldn't root but I am glad my phone works.

Andy Ibanez, I love you man! I thought i was in deep muck when i came across your solution. Thank you once again!
It sounds like you had a failed i.e. partial write and /or partition corruption.
Flashing a custom recovery is an expedient fix, but you may still have corrupt partitions that can cause you problems later. You should find the appropriate PIT (partition information) file to match your current firmware and flash that to assure a stable system.
Hey there
I had the same problem. The screen showed the ' firmware issue' message.
I used the odin 3.09 to flash the CF Root again and this time it worked properly.
i didn't loose any files and the root works perfectly

Hello all!
I can't get past Samsung Logo on my Sprint's S4. I successfully rooted, but ran into trouble after dropping services.jar and services.odex files for Odexed phones (MF9) and flashing to enable Hotspot capability I tried using several tar files in different version of Odin's, but none helped me revive the device. Although I am able to boot into recovery, restoring to factory settings and wiping cache doesn't do anything either. Please, Please, advise.
Thank you!
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.

re-root via Odin using cf-autoroot .tar file...I soft-bricked my 720T 5 or 6 times while trying to unlock it & re-rooted it & got everything back
Hi Guys. I'm new to this forum so do excuse me if you find my question stupid or in the wrong thread. I have a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900W8) which I tried rooting some time back. But as a result of the rooting, it has gone into a continuous boot loop. I have tried going back into recovery mode and resetting everything along with clearing the cache but that didn't work, Then I tried unrooting the device using ODIN and the stock ROM downloaded from Sammobile. But it showed failed at the end of the process. I thought that it may be because I may used the wrong ROM so now I'm trying to download the ROM used for unknown variants. My question is if there is any other way that I can use to unbrick my boot looped phone or will I have spend money and take to a service centre?
Any help or advise will be sincerely appreciated. It is worth mentioning here that I don't know anything about whether the phone was originally a Sprint or AT&T or Rogers or Bell etc phone.

Try TWRP recovery and flash with ODIN and unpin autoreboot in odin
Thanks for your valuable advise senzatiOn. Much appreciated. I have read about the TWRP recovery and in fact wanted to do that but I believe that there are specific files that are used for this type of recovery. I tried finding the ones suitable for my phone (SM-G900W8) but couldn't. So now if you could please please help me with getting the files and also the procedure to do the recovery using the TWRP method, I would be sincerely obliged.
Thanks
