[Q] 4.4 Update via Odin Fail, Phone Bricked

I tried to install the 4.4.2 N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_N9005XXUENA2 update on my Note 3 via odin 3.09.
Got an ext4 update failed error.
After this, the phone's bricked and is stuck on the Kies Recovery Screen. I tried to go into recovery mode in Kies, but it says this model does not have initialization.
I tried installing a 4.3 N9005XXUDMK3_N9005TNLDMK1_N9005XXUDMK2, but again failed. Download mode shows SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] Fused 3 > Binary 2
Can someone please guide me to unbrick my phone?
I don't know what ROM I was on initially. It was the stock ROM that came with the phone.
I dont have CWM and TWRM installed.

This is not a brick at all. Just add a .pit file and restart the upgrade via Odin again.
You should be fine.

Thank you for that advice. How do I add a .pit file, and would you happen to have a link where I can download it from?

I tried a variety of N9005 .pits and each time, it shows PIT FAIL: TOTAL SECTORS (30777344) :crying:

(Read OP) . Try flashing the polish firmware again with odin v1.85 and try using different usb ports. Close most of your running applications such as firefox skype etc that can interrupt the process and flash official firmware.

You won't be able to downgrade back to 4.3 - Use the PDA slot on ODIN and try flashing again.

15 hour sleep man, seems to have me buzzing around lol :highfive:

Solution
I also have Hong Kong N9005 32GB with N9005XXUBMI5 PDA, tried to flash 4.4.2 with Odin and stuck at "invalid ext4 image", was't able to flash anything after it.
But after 16 hours I finally found a solution:
1. Get leaked Polish ROM (that one with 4 files, do not use the official - it has one file rom)
2. Extract archive
3. Extract "CSC_OXX_N9005OXXENA5_327209_REV03_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar" and get your pitfile - HLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit
4. Flash your phone with this pitfile and other 4 files from archive (I used Odin 3.09) with repartitioning enabled.
After this procedure I have fully working android 4.4 :victory:

cant root G900FXXU1BOB7 help please

i dont know whats going on but i cant root G900FXXU1BOB7 also cant install twrp or cwm any ideas anyone

Yeah, I lost root after flashing the standard BOB7 firmware.
Had to re-root my phone using these instructions.
Are you flashing with Odin?
If so, how are you getting into download mode (DO NOT USE THE 4-WAY REBOOT OPTION). You must turn off your phone (and some people recommend removing the battery, but I have never had to do that). Then turn the phone on, by pushing 'home', 'volume down' and power.
Flash the 'CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.tar.md5' (or whichever is the appropriate version for your phone. I am using the SM-G900F, which is kltexx but yours might be a different model) using 'AP' (if odin 3.09) or 'PDA'.
Edit: Meant to add, download the latest auto-root package from chainfire's link above (it has a compatible version of SuperSU that works with android 5.0). If you are using an old version, it may not work with android 5. The latest version is 2.45, but I think 2.43 and up should work.

Guys help me. I have the twrp installed. Su installed it says superuser enabled. But if i want to use any root app like adaway or titanium backup it doesn't give me a choice to grant. It just stops there. I tried to reflash the cf-autoroot, but didn't work. Anyone can help me? Thanks in advance.

[Q] Odin FAIL - N910U / From Hong Kong 4.4.4 to Taiwan 5.0.1 ROM

Hi All
I have the Hong Kong Note 4 N910U
PDA N910UXXU1AOC3
CSC N910UZZH1AOC3
As you may know, lollipop 5 is not out yet for this particular version. As I am experiencing some issues with the phone, I thought I'll just do a factory reset. However I've read somewhere here that I can use the other stock roms of the N910U eg; Taiwan 5.01 or New Zealand 5.0.1. So I thought I might aswell update to lollipop and then do a fresh factory reset.
So I downloaded this Taiwan one

I have identical problem. Same device, same stock firmware. Trying to update to BOD4

Dancing around:
I've installed last TWRP (https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote4exynos.html) from Odin after multiple failed attempts with N910UXXU1BOD4
Device booted normally (long boot with "updating applications")
TA-DA!
it booted to 5.0.1
It's creepy magic, but it works.
BTW, sammobile has newer version (N910UXXU1BOE3_N910UZZT1BOE3_BRI.zip)

I've repeated same procedure with newer rom: N910UXXU1BOE3/N910UZZT1BOE3:
Attempt to flash via Odin new firmware
Get error
Unplug device. Remove battery. Insert battery back. Boot to download mode again
Flash TWRP via odin
Successfully reboot to new system

Thanks for that mate. Will try it when i get home. Im not familiar with using odin or this TWRP thing. So do i download the TWRP tar file and load it to odin, then what? Can you give me the full nstructions please. Im quite confused especially the last bit under odin install method ,
"Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery"

My device booted to TWRP by itself without any problem, so no need to force it with keys or fastboot.
I forgot to mention, since TWRP is custom recovery You will trigger "knox void warranty 0x1", so if it's important to you - you need another way.
Does Your device boot to system after error with N910UXXU1BOD4? Cause my didn't.
Probably flashing original recovery will fix it also and will not trigger knox

I just want to clarify this just to be clear.
So after it fails you turn off, pull battery, turn on to download mode and install TWRP and then it will boot into TWRP and you just reboot and the BOE3 Taiwan firmware will just boot up? Sounds like magic, like you mentioned before.

Well after the error that odin gave me, i managed to recover my device using kies so my phones back on its original firmware all working. So, what is the method you used to install the latest taiwan update? Did you just go through the normal odin method or ? I dont really want to root the device, i just want to install the original stock 5.1 firmware.

yes. after error.
i "reboot" device to download mode (disconnect from usb, take out battery, put it back. volume-down+home+power).
in download mode I install TWRP.
if "auto reboot" is ticked in odin - it will reboot to new recovery (twrp) automatically. it (twrp) will perform some patching and will reboot device automatically. device will boot to system.
first boot can take a while.

it.s 5.0.1 btw. There is no 5.1 yet
Yes I went through normal odin with last taiwan firmware.
it did fail with error above.
reboot to download mode.
I flashed TWRP on top of it.
when twrp is installed - system boots to new 5.0.1
KNOX is triggered!
some hours device is alive and fully working. no issues... yet =)
As usual. No responsibility here, Do it on Your own risk

I see. Well there should be a way of getting this installed without having to root/trigger the knox. I dont see how others are doing it through odin and our ones are failing. There should be a reason. Or it might be that this specific taiwan one fails for everyone? I did see some who flashed the new zealand one without issues..

probably it doesn't like that we're flashing different CSC.
the last image flashed is hidden.img, which if I'm not mistaken has CSC stuff
I'd expect that flashing this TAR without hidden.img or flashing original recovery instead of TWRP - will keep KNOX 0. But this homework is for someone else =)

Ok, Well if i do it the way you done it, will i get future ota updates or not ? i dont mind voiding warranty because the device is from hong kong, even if something goes wrong it will be a headache to send it back there and wait for it to come back. If I can get future updates wirelessly then i dont mind rooting it.

Nope. It rejects to check OTA. Manual update via Odin is still an option.
Probably, if flash original recovery and reset device, so it switches to new CSC - OTA will work. Probably.

@gokhan04uk
Flashing a custom recovery does solve the problem... but when i tried the method below i noticied changes
BUT DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK

Can you give us full instructions please. I downloaded N910UXXU1BOE3_N910UZZT1BOE3_N910UXXU1BOE3_HOME
After I rename the md5 file to tar and extract. What do I do with the hidden.img file ?
Do I need to use only odin? or anything else

Extract hidden.img and flash it as pda
Simple as that
And remeber am not responsible even if it worked for me and another user

So I have to go through the normal odin process. Once it fails. I have to flash hidden.img through odin?

[Q] -CM- What to update to

Hi guys, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Canada, specifically Rogers. The phone is currently on the CM11 Nightly ROM. (I can check specifically which nightly, my phone is just backing up at the moment so I can't see!)
I have this problem, which is, when the phone automatically locks or I myself lock it, the radio signal completely drops. Sometimes the signal will come back, but to get it back for sure is to turn the phone on airplane mode then off again. It is annoying because when the phone is locked for a while, it will receive signal at some point. During that time I'll get a call and it'll ring but once the screen turns on the signal will drop, also dropping the call. I have a slight understanding that it could be a problem with the phone's radio firmware?
Now that you guys have an understanding about my problem, this is what I am hoping to accomplish. I want to update the phones ROM, as it is probably old, along with the proper fix to the phone's radio firmware. How do i go about doing this? The kind of ROM that I want is something in between stable version and nightly (not nightly as I think nightly was the one that caused my radio problem), I think that's SNAPSHOT M12? Please correct me if I am wrong. I would rather not lose any of my data but if I have to then I will but please do guide me because I am scared to lose any of my data.
Thank you guys for reading my long post, I hope my English and grammar is fine! I look forward to hearing from you guys!

The current version of Cyanogenmod is 12.1 (Android 5.1.1). The two release channels for 12.1 are nightlies and snapshots. As of yet there has been no CM12.1 snapshot I'm aware of, meaning all CM12.1 ROMs are nightlies.
You haven't said what version of the stock ROM you had before moving to CM11, but if the radio is too old, you'll want to update it. You'll need Odin and either the modem file, or a complete ROM, which you can download from here. If you choose to install the stock ROM, be aware that you will have to root your device again, using CF-Autoroot. Flashing the stock ROM or modem won't wipe your data unless you tell Odin to partition the S4, so you don't want to do that. What you do want to do before you attempt to do anything is make a nandroid backup as well as move any important files off the internal storage. While you won't need to wipe the S4 prior to installing the new stock ROM or the modem, you will need to do so when installing the new version of Cyanogenmod.
P. S. In the future, you want to direct your questions to the AT&T Galaxy S4 forums as this is the International S4 forum, which doesn't cover North American S4 devices. Your question however is general enough that we should still be able to help you.

Thanks for the reply!

I don't know how to answer this, It's been quite a long time since I moved to CM11. Basically what I did was, when I bought the phone I went home and installed CM11 on it, haha.

I am quite confused, sorry. What I'm doing right now is I'm downloading the newest radio firmware from the link you have given me. After that I'm going to follow the instructions of:
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.10.6
Extract Odin ZIP file
Open Odin v.3.10.6
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
That will fix my radio problems?
Now to update my ROM. This is where I am mostly confused. In your opinion, should I stick with CM11 Nightly? Can I somehow go from nightly to a more stable version like cm11 snapshot m12? Should I update to CM12? Will my phone keep up with the CM12 ROM?

Sorry I will keep that in mind! Mind you, I carefully chose this and looked at all my other options. I didn't see the AT&T forum to fit because AT&T is in the United States and my carrier is in Canada, I just didn't want to have problems with anything else

Guys, I think i screwed up.... So when i downloaded that firmware from Sammobile. I flashed it with ODIN and made sure re-partition was not checked. Everything looked fine and when my phone rebooted (its still rebooting at the moment) the welcome screen was the default "samsung" splash screen, not the Cyanogen Mod . I thought this method was only going to flash the phone's modem, not the ROM too
EDIT:
No....my worst nightmare came true .........NO!!!!
So my phone finished rebooting and its just a black screen. All I can see is the status bar at the top right that displays the WiFi signal and the Phone's network signal and the battery. Okay so I figured something out. When the phone is locked and I press the Home button, Battery Doctor's charging wallscreen shows up, meaning my device wasn't wiped ? When I tried to unlock from Battery Doctor's charging screen, it would just show the black screen with just the status bar .... PLEASE HELP ME !!!

It flashes a complete ROM, which is part of the reason I mentioned making a backup. Now you'll need to root your S4 again, as I mentioned, install a custom recovery, and then you can install Cyanogenmod (12.1 recommended). By flashing the complete ROM it also ensures you have a clean slate from which to move forward. Now all the firmware pieces "match" and you avoid any odd effects by having a mismatched bootloader and baseband.

D'awww Well I guess a clean slate isn't so bad. I backed up my text messsages and my photo's should be backed up onto the google drive anyways. I don't know if you saw my edited post but the UI is not loading. Its just showing the status bar at the top right (signal, wifi signal, battery).
Thanks.

If you're going to install CM12.1 I wouldn't worry about Touchwiz not starting. Just go ahead and prep the phone for Cyanogenmod, as the most important parts - baseband and bootloader - are apparently working properly.
EDIT: ROM installs don't wipe data when done through Odin unless you tell Odin to partition the device. Thus you'd need a factory reset to ensure Touchwiz works. But where you're going to put Cyanogenmod on, don't worry about Touchwiz.

The problem is, I can't. There's nothing there on the phone. Its just a black screen. Unless, thats what you meant.
I tried searching for a CM 12.1 Canadian version and I found this thread. http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/104233-jfltesgh-i337m/
apparently theres no canadian version of the CM 12.1
what should I do ?

Use the Optimized CM12.1 here in I9505 Original Android Development. It's supposed to work with all Qualcomm S4s except the Value Edition S4.
Oh, and you don't need CF-Autoroot. Simply install the recovery using Odin, then install Cyanogenmod. Wipe data and cache, then reboot. Everything should be back to normal about ten minutes after rebooting, as the ART compiler compiles the apps.

Thanks for the replies! I'm sorry if im asking for too much but could you please confirm that this is the right one? link
So, I don't need to root? how can i verify that my phone is still rooted? If my phone is still rooted, I download Canadian Galaxy S4 SGH-i337M (Bell, Rogers, Telus) – CWM Recovery v6.0.4.4
Then flash that with Odin ?
edit: I think I know why this failed miserably....On Odin V3.10.6 I clicked "AP" for some reason, when I was flashing the firmware. Could that be the problem? If so, is there a fix ? i can't access my phones SD card .

Right link, but Clockworkmod is not a good choice for a recovery to flash through Odin. Use TWRP instead as Clockworkmod is no longer updated.
Cyanogenmod is pre-rooted, though until you open the developer options in settings you can't access it. That's why you don't need to root beforehand. There is no harm however if you choose to root anyway before installing.
Clicking Odin like that shouldn't do anything. But where you've encountered problems, read the instructions here to wipe the storage. Then install the stock ROM again through Odin to see if that resolves the problem.

i just installed cm-12.1-20150625-NIGHTLY-jfltexx on my s4 with cm-12.1-20150623-NIGHTLY-jfltexx but there is a problem with the phone functions. It can't make any call. .it do not find my sim card!! Same thing with cm-12.1-20150624-NIGHTLY . The last one that works is 20150623 . Is there anyone that can confirm my problem?

I am following this:
Code:
TWRP Recovery v2.8.7.0 is suggested for installation
First time or clean install:
Download the ROM from the link above
Download GApps package for Lollipop 5.1
Put the zip files on your SDCard
Reboot in Recovery
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Optional: convert to F2FS
Select "Install zip from SDCard"
Choose ROM's zip file
Choose GApps zip file
Reboot system
Unfortunately, I am stuck though. I can't put the zip files in my phone because my phone is semi-bricked. I can't access my SD card. I don't have another device that I could plug my SD card into, and I don't have an SD card reader either!
edit: sorry im really like uneasy right now and im thinking that I don't want to lose all my data, so i'm exploring a bit. I booted up CWM because I had a backup made from there. I saw the backup, but when I tried to restore it, it said "MD5 Mismatch" is there ANY way I could get that backup of mine to restore? I would have a peace of mind and then we can restart this process from there.

I assume your model is i337M. Check it in download mode. If that's the case, then follow this.
1. Flash this:

2. Flash TWRP
3. Flash the rom you want.

Flashing CM is easy. It doesn't require root access because this phone has no bootloader lock. Download a custom recovery with TAR file format, install drivers, go to the download mode of your phone, connect your phone to your computer, and use Odin to flash the recovery. Then copy CM zip file to a SD card and flash it in recovery. That's all!?
For recovery I recommend TWRP: teamw.in
If you've installed Kies you should have drivers on your computer. Otherwise install Kies or only drivers if you can find them on Samsung official website.

Try redownloading the .zip file. Maybe it's corrupt.

So after trying to install the ROM in TWRP and failing. I couldn't load up the phone anymore, it got stuck at the Samsung Logo screen. I am now re-flashing I337MVLUGOC4 - 5.0.1 Lollipop.
edit:
So at the moment, my phone is working fine on stock rom. I redownloaded the CM-12.1 optimized. I moved it into my SD card. I need to know if there are certain steps I need to do to get this right. These are the steps I took the first time.
Rebooted into TWRP recovery mode, then clicked install then I navigated to the CM-12.1 ROM zip and swiped to install.
Was I supposed to wipe anything? The only time I wiped(the default wipe in twrp) was after I installed the 5.0.1 Lollipop firmware. By the way, i noticed that my phone's internal memory is almost full, it only has 2GB of 9.69GB left in the internal. I checked it out and all my old files were still there!

Dont try to flash any bootloader below COJ5 as downgrading isn't possible.
Did you do a factory reset when you flashed COJ5 ?

If you can boot cm while not stock I would suspect the kernel.
Make sure that the zipped custom rom you tried to flash by recovery has the stock kernel (boot.img) inside in some folder other than "system".And always wipe data/factory reset when coming from non stock.
If it still doesn't help then Im afraid I'll be out of solutions cause I haven't had any experience with locked bootloaders.
