[Q] ODIN Help - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Running a Dev edition Verizon GS5.... Trying to flash a modem in ODIN, but for some reason it's not taking (my baseband version never changes, even though ODIN reports a successful flash.) Placing in my PDA slot in ODIN 3.07. Never really had this problem before, and I've been able to successfully flash other things (NOT firmware or full ROM tars... haven't locked my bootloader.) F. Reset Time and Auto reboot are checked in ODIN, and nothing else. Any input would be appreciated, thanks! Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong

try odin 3.09+ as suggested in odin threads on here and report back lol

[Q] Updated to KNOX, can't restore with KIES or ODIN, soft brick??

Hi guys
Sorry this is my first post and it will be a bit long but I've searched everywhere, absolutely everywhere with no luck at all.
So tonight I originally tried to update my MODEM to a Telstra one, and I flashed it via ODIN.
The ODIN flash failed and I stupidly pulled the phone out, and it gave me the dreaded
PHONE-----YELLOW TRIANGLE----- COMPUTER
'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
I tried flashing a 4.3 KNOX stock rom later on (I realised it was a big mistake), that failed in ODIN as well
I have also tried re-partitioning with a PIT file as well via ODIN but it doesn't really help
ODIN keeps hanging on the "system" flashing command and goes to a red "fail". It won't start flashing "system.ext4.... etc"
I've tried all versions of ODIN and all version of 4.3
I can't use any 4.2.2 roms as the phone only seems to accept 4.3 stock roms now.
I've also tried KIES, but KIES will not recognise my phone, and ODIN hangs at 'system.ext4...' (can't remember, something similar, definitely said system)
So I have a completely bricked phone now... I can only get into TEAMWIN recovery but it won't connect to USB at all.
I absolutely can't flash anything with it failing in ODIN and KIES won't recognise my phone. I've put it in 'download mode' as well..
I've also tried flashing roms through TEAMWIN/CWM recovery but it instantly fails.
Are there any options open to me? I'm really scared that I have an expensive paperweight....

Try another usb port (recommended: back of the computer)
and flash again via Odin stock base rom 4.3
P.S: I was getting the similar problem you have. another usb port helped me

Thanks Yeah I've tried that, I've tried front, back, on a laptop, but Odin still red fails at the writing 'System' (the largest 'chunk' of the tar.md5 file) no matter which 4.3 rom I try

Hello,
For my part, I also encountered problems! the only rom that is passed via ODIN after testing 5 other is:
I9505XXUAMDF_I9505PHNAMD8_PHN
But if Knox! possible that this does not happen either?
*************
For me I do:
1 - Flash with Odin Pit
2 - Flash with ODIN last recovery philz_touch_5.15.8-i9505.zip
3 - Wip full recovery for new rom
4 - Flash the I9505XXUAMDF_I9505PHNAMD8_PHN
And then this happened.

I thought with the official 4.3 new bootloader, we cant downgrade to 4.2.2.
Try another Odin version or extract the .tar file via Winrar (rename it from .tar.md5 to .tar if your file ending at .tar.md5) and flash the system.img.ext4 via this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333807 see if you getting error with this tool while flashing the system.img.ext4
and then try to flash again with odin
P.S. While flashing via Odin kill in Task Manager Kies and related process and flash again

Hey Bordo
Thankyou so much for your suggestion - I will try the individual component flasher later tonight and then write back on what happens
I will also remember to kill Kies with task manager beforehand, before using ODIN or any other flasher :good:
Thankyou so much for your time and effort in trying to help!!!! Much appreciated

Help!! I may have bricked my s4

Hello everybody im in a little bit of a crisis.
I tried to update my modem to MK2 and I used odin to do so. It turns out that it failed for some reason.
After that whenever I boot my phone it gives me a black screen and says Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
After that I followed this youtube video right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1jyZ5QafAQ and downloaded this file to go back to stock: http://downloadandroidfiles.org/download-l720vpuamdc_l720sptamdc_spr-zip/
But yet it still gave me a Fail in odin. Any help would be appreciated as I am Freaking out right now
Here is the message log directly from odin when it starts
Firmware update starts
aboot.mbn
NAND write start
Complete(Write) Operation Failed
I switched USB ports now Odin is saying there is no PIT partition

If your on MJA/MK2 firmware (bootloader) you cannot go back to MDC (the file you showed).
Also did you run PC Odin 'As Administrator'?
You can find the link to the MK2 here.

I am on MDC bootloader. What I did was download the tar file from stockroms.net for MDC. And I ran the 3.07 odin as adimistrator and it worked. Thank you cause I think that it was me not clicking run as administrator. Another question: Is it worth upgrading to MK2 if I wanna root again or should I just keep MK2. I have the geeksquad warrenty from bestbuy so it shouldn't matter if it trips the knox flag because I give them rooted phones all the time.

I wouldn't update to the knox bootloader (take the OTA or flash the full .tar) but that's me, for now.
Since you're on the earlier bootloader you can still update to any number of ROMs that have the knox bootloader removed.
Also I would definitely update the modem firmware - Unknownforce has a thread for that here.
Spend some time and read and you'll find loads of stuff you can do.
Good luck.

If you truly are on MDC and did not trip the knox bootloader you can Odin back to stock MDC. That will wipe the phone completely, giving you an all MDC phone - bootloader, recovery (stock), kernel, modem and ROM.
But I would just jump to MF9. It was the last official without the Knox bootloader. You can grab that here.
This is the FULL system tar. All stock, kernel, recovery, ROM Modem.
Extract the .tar.md5 and place that in the PDA slot and that's it. Make sure you don't check 'repartition'!.
Then use CF-Autoroot to root and again be careful NOT to check anything like repartition etc.
Once rooted you can then open up supersu, update the binaries. Go to playstore and download GooManager. User that to install custom recovery and then you can flash away.
I do suggest you spend some time here reading a whole bunch. You'll learn a lot about these methods and how and what you can do.
Good luck.

Ok I have upgraded to MF9 now should I use Unkown Forces links: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338919 to upgrade the firmware and modem?
And when I try to root with CF auto root on MF9 it fails on complete write operation failed.
Strike that its all good
If you're on MF9 full rooted you can update your firmware/modem following Unknownforce's instructions.
HOWEVER PLEASE take heed about the MJA(MK2 too) Notes: ...
some people report better success with turning Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time unchecked. Do the same flash, but when you see PASS on Odin, unplug the phone and Hold the Power key for 10 seconds to reboot.
Click to expand...

And read through the whole post not just the OP. Some people had to flash it a few times to get it to show up (in system info) properly - mainly because they didn't follow directions precisely and skipped the note part on MJA/MK2.
Since you're now on MF9 fully rooted (stock) you can install yourself a custom recovery (Philz or TWRP - the latest Philz;philz_touch_6.08.9-jfltespr, seems to be the most reliable for now) and flash some ROMs. Virtually all of the 4.3/4.4 ROMs require the MK2 modem so know that too.
One thing I would highly recommend is to spend some time reading through the sections to get a clearer understanding of how this device behaves vs others (HTC, Moto etc.). Every device has it's peculiarities and caveats and not paying attention to them could ruin you day.

People need to know the difference between soft bricked and hard bricked. Most say bricked and they mean soft. Hard is nearly impossible to get the phone back up and running. I have that same problem when I try to install a kernel. You need to reflash a ROM.

[Q] trying to revert sm-n900a to stock.

Wassup guys, ive been searching the forum for going on three days now trying to revert back to stock. i keep getting fails through Odin 3.09 and 3.07. Crazy thing is that i have a baseband of mj5 and a build number of mi9. Im on my last nerve with this. Had the phone since Oct. and love it to death. But right now im ready to take it out and practice shooting. Im a fairly knowledgeable with odin and flashing in recovery but this has me at a stand still. Any help as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated. I have downloaded the MI9 files for odin (BL, AP,CP,CSC,PIT) for MJ5 i have (BL,AP,CP,PIT). If im missing some files or doing something wrong a link to a good tutorial would help. Thanks
Just tried flashing mI9 firmware in download mode and got SW REV CHECK: (sbl1) fused2> binary 1
did the whole *#1234# and got AP Mj5 and CP MI9
Confusing.
Be more clear instead of shooting the phone.
What custom rom you were on, if i understand you correct? Android version and your firmware?

No custom rom, 4.3 Baseband says MJ5. Build number says MI9. i dont know if they are supposed to be the same. I was rooted and unrooted. Just trying to get it back to days 1, fresh out the box, Bone stock.
Ok i did the *#1234# now my AP is N900AUCUBMI9,
CP is N900AUCUBMJ5,
and my CSC is N900AATTBMI9.
this is confusing the hell outta me. in the earlier post i didnt have a CSC. only the AP and CP.
Flash a newer firmware or same as your last firmware. I assume you can't downgrade to the original firmware if you have updated once to a newer one as bootloader gets locked.
Or flash 4.4.2 with Odin 1.85

I have tried that also. I dld the N900AUCECMLG.zip for the phone but when i unzip it im at a loss for what to do with the files. i dont know if it should be done in recovery or what files to use with odin. I dont see any tar or md5 files.
You have [email protected]? If so this is the correct firmware for you.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=25106
From there you can see instructions to how to flash. Read carefully. Don't panic.
Download rom. And use e.g winrar ro open just once when the files are downloaded. You are extracting twice and stop doing so. Open onse and drag and drop files to your e.g desktop. Once you do this you get md5.
You put the phone into download mode when flashing firmware. Turn it off. Volum down+home+power button at same time when asked if you want to continue press Volum up. Then you are in download mode.
Why do you even flash anything if you can't basics. Read more. If you still can't do this all before attempt or ask a friend to do it for you.

[Q] Soft- Bricked, Can't Flash via Odin 4.4.2

Hello guys, so i sold my AT&T Galaxy S4 to a friend an move up to Note 3.
After a couple of weeks he downloaded an app from Playstore and got into a Bootloop. I tol;d him i could help him as I have come through the same procedure again in the past.
I tried flashing the same rom the phone had by that time "I337UCUFMLD_OneClick" and i Got a FAIL.
Soon i realized the phone was bricked. I have been searhing for 5-6 hours today, tried to flash "ALL_ATT_I337UCUFNB1_I337ATTFNB1_505595_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar", all MK2 roms I Found here, and the only once which worked was flashing the "pit" file and flashing "I337_NC1_Stock_Recovery.tar". Now The phone has access to both Download & recovery mode but
i 'cant enable usb debugging cause i can't access the system.
If anyone has a clue, please help!
PS: Sry for the long description, can't post links.
You should be able to flash the all in one nb1 tar use Odin 3 v1.85 make sure you extract the rar and load the tar in the pda slot. Unless it's been updated to nc1 then you'll have to wait and hope someone releases a all in one for that.

Nope, i flashed only the stock recovery from NC1 cause it was the only one i could find
Att recently pushed the nc1 firmware if your friend unknowingly applied the nc1 update and it flashed a new bootloader then that would make the nb1 Odin fail. I think your best bet is going to the Samsung Rep at your local Best buy and they can flash the factory image.

It has been reported that the NC1 update did not incriment the Q-fuse count in aboot. If this is true, it should be safe to Odin NB1 back onto a phone that took the NC1 update without it causing failure..

After several tries i managed to flash it back to STOCK NB1 with no problem.
The only Problem some people may have is that if you try flashing with odin 3+ and then try 1.85, you will fail due to Windows instabilitty.
I recommend taking battary of the phone for 1 hour (may sound too much but worked for me) restart PC, and try flashing right away after your computer boots up!
I will propably make a guide out of this cause that brick was tricky as hell.
Thanks everyone for replying
PROBLEM SOLVED :good:

Help recovering back to stock ODIN Flash Fail!

First of all let me say that I appreciate any help you guys can give me.
So I was trying to unlock to bootloader on my phone from KitKat 4.4.2 (NCG)
I was impatient and did something stupid.
I flashed the G900V_Firmware_PB1.tar.md5 file with Odin and repartitioned with the PIT file.
Of course it didn't work... Annnnnd I bricked... (Softbrick).
So after trying a few other things to no avail I panicked and booted into Stock Recovery Mode and did a full wipe/factory reset, wiped cache, then booted back into DL Mode and TRIED to flash the stock firmware to start over. The problem is the ODIN flash keeps failing and I don't know what to do.
I tried downloading the Stock Firmware from multiple sources and it keeps failing.
So I'm starting to freak out a little.
I can still successfully flash the G900V_Firmware_PB1.tar.md5 but that doesn't help me.
Any Help?

@Bren123, I've passed this to @stang5litre earlier today and not sure if hes gotten with the user yet. What do you think he needs to do? I mentioned to the user via PM that he needs to do a backup of everything, which is including a Nandroid but didn't mention if did or didn't. If so, should try that first? Should've just unlocked the bootloader first with what ROM it's currently using and then go from there to update.....hadn't had time to get back to them....not home yet. Appreciate it guys!!

Well to be honest I would just go to BPB1 here is the BPB1 Stock tar for odin (different than the one your using) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911970571
And use this pit https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347765167 in the pit slot in odin could be in the options on the left
And flash then report back any errors if odin gives one
