So i recently got the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910F). And i rooted it as i always do with my other phones they´ve worked fine every single time. But this time something happened to it when i rooted it. I used ChainFires Auto-Root. Worked perfectly fine untill reboot then my phone got stuck at the samsung logo and stayed there for ages and ages.
Then i let the phone be off for a while and i come back to something im not used to. And the error was That my firmware upgrade encountered an issue and that i should go into recovery and try again. I´ve tried flashing my note with the Stock Rom from sammobile but just at the end i got an error. Volume size is too big 12880 < 204800
odin : Invalid ext4 image
I have no clue what to do anymore so i came to this site and wondering if anyone does know what my problem is.

Yes,please share.
Oh damn sorry for not posting it totaly forgot. But what i did was I downloaded a recovery that was said to work on all Samsung Mobiles (4shared. com/get/bIYubEevba/All_samsung_recovery.html) And then i just used Odin3 V3.09 and just waited a couple minutes and then the phone booted up just as normal. And working like a charm right now.

My original issue got resolved thanks to s15274n. This mans ROOT walkthrough is amazing!!!!!
NOW I have a problem getting my ROM to load.
Im trying to Install the Malice ROM. and nothing is going quite as smoothely as I think it should.
This is attempt 2, the first time I waited an hour to try and install this rom, straight from SD, and I think the furthest it got was "installing ROM"
nothing. pull the batery out (I assume thats a total noob move, and at beast ill-advisable.) rebooted, went about my day. well, im trying again, and now the furthest ive gotten is "Installing update" the status bar is never filling or scrolling though.
Whats the problem? (going on about 15 minutes with no change btw)
You must use Odin to either
-Flash back to stock so you can reinstall packages
or
-Flash a voodoo integrated kernel so you can flash roms w/ CWM/Voodoo Recovery
Download a voodoo kernel and flash it using odin.
ok, I have the kernal and I have ODIN. once again I have never used ODIN< I definately used a one click root.
does anybody have a link to a thread with *detailed*, hold my hand, walk me through it and pat me on the butt at the end Instructions on this? It's a learning process and damn if im not learning something by the time this is all said and done lol.
last time it sat still for me when it said installing update, it was a bad download. I redid my download of the rom and it went through fast and smoothly. Thats how i fixed my prob maybe it will fix it for u.
I really need some help i want to cry

do you have the .pit and .tar files? Also, are you turning your phone off? There is an awesome guide by s15274n called the noob guide. It goes over very specifically how to root, it also has a small tutorial on rooting using ODIN3. Search the q&a forum, i believe thats where the guide is.
Also just to clarify, im not saying ur a noob or inept, im just saying its a super awesome guide. My phones neen rooted for three days now, ive flashef a bunch of roms and i always flash nack to stock...REALLY helpful tutorial. Good Luck!
so guys.. im a newbie here.
i have the galaxy s5 SM G900H the international exynos version
and i really really need your help.
here's the story
i rooted my galaxy s5 and it always fail in recovery... and when i get out from the download mode, everything's ok, my galaxy s5 worked well.
and the problem came one hour ago, i reset my phone to factory settings and tried to root again and it works!!
but the process stucked at cache.img,
and i tried to get out from the download mode and i find "FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE. ......"
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!
First of all i want to thank this site (and the people behind it) that makes everything android possible.
I feel privileged to be a member of this forum specially on rough times like what i am facing right now.
I rooted my Galaxy A8-A800i the other day and everything went great. I followed the instructions that i found here. Unfortunately, yesterday i turned off the OEM Unlock on my phone. Now, as the thread title says it. it is stuck on the Logo Screen with the annoying " Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock ". i read a guide that ashyx made and i felt stupid. I didn't know that turning the OEM Unlock will do that to my Phone.
Right now, I am digging deep on this forums to try and revive my phone that is currently in Brick state.
i am downloading a firmware from sammobile for my phone, the problem i have is... i don't know how to use it. I don't know much about my phone but I do want to learn a lot and i know that this is the right place. I would like to ask assistance on how to use the firmware that I am downloading right now, and also, can i make the Knox Counter go "0" again?
Thanks for everything guys. I highly appreciate everything i've learned here so far.

Thank you!... i downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile. but whenever i extract it there's a rar message saying it is corrupted so i DLed a new one, it has the same result. I haven't tried using it to fix my phone but i will try right now. Ill give an update on how it goes.
Tried flashing the new firmware but Odin can't detect my phone. i have the latest Driver for SAMSUNG and i have the latest Odin. I tried restarting my phone and my computer several times but it still fails. i am really frustrated and our of options right now. Even if Odin detects my phone there's no guarantee that the stock firmware will be installed properly since it always shows corrupt when i extract it from zip

Install the Samsung drivers first, reboot your pc.
Start odin in Admin mode then put your device in download mode, plug in the usb cable. Your device should be detected.
Don't try flashing a corrupt firmware, it will be rejected anyway as it will fail the md5 check.
I suggest you use a different browser to download.
@ashyx hey! thanks for all your help. my internet went offline while i was trying to respond to the other thread. my phone is now fixed with your help. Thank you so much! only took 3 mins for the while Odin flashing to complete
This issue is now FIXED

but how? I have installed official firmware and flashed via odin and it shows"success", but then it gets stuck in the samsung logo. please help
Alright, so I have an S7 that I bought off of ebay, it was originally sprint, but I use it on Metropcs.
Today, I attempted to Odin root it and it got me stuck in a "Galaxy s7" boot loop. As a result, I looked for the stock, which also put my in a "Recovery booting" loop. Now I don't know what to do. Recovery mode does not work. The only thing I can do is go into download mode.
Some notes: I have/had nougat on it, don't. I wanted to use smart switch, but it needs a serial number, and when I tried to find mine using the IMEI from the download screen to find mine, it said it couldn't find the Serial, so I'm just going to assume it's a fake S7.
If anyone can help at all, or even have an S7 serial, please let me know. I've tried several of the main threads for sprint with the 2.2gb stock AP/CP/CSC, and none of them worked, they all result in boot loop.
Edit: My phone is an S7, NOT an edge. I put this in the wrong section, and I have to wait 20mins to make a new thread.

I'll try that if the current thing doesn't work. What I did just now is I got a file from samfirm which was SM-G930P_1_20161227210652_bpv0ccfhas_fac.zip. Instead of jusst doing the AP/CP/CSC, I also added in the BL, and it seems to be working, and reverted me back to 6?

The one I linked, seemed to work, but it's back on 6, but it's downloading updates, which is likely for 7 again. Thank you alot, I really appreciate it, since I was full of panic seeing as I'm going on vacation within a few days so wanted to have my phone. Leaving this here for anyone who may have the same issue!

Last time I reset my phone it took forever to reset. Try redoing the process but give it plenty of time. Also, don't worry about it heating up.
If you had any message saved on the phone you won't be able to view it after a reset.
Try taking these precautions next time you reinstall firmware:
Make sure you have the right firmware for your country code (it's usually on a sticker on the box or when you go in download mode: power+volume up+bixby)
Make sure you have the latest Samsung Drivers for Mobile installed on your pc, this usually leads to bootloops if not installed before flashing
Ensure you have the original cable that came with the box connected as it has information that's not found on other wires
Make sure you have the most recent version of Odin. I recommend uninstalling anything you have on your pc and reinstalling the files from the beginning so nothing mixes up
These really helped when I got MY phone stuck in a bootloop...twice...
It happened after only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed. but got someone a s8 backup?
