Just received my bricked 9505 from Samsung service center flashed with the latest firmware.
I need to do a complete backup of the phone in the original state before I start to mess around with custom rom ..
Which software I should look for to do this job?

bro if anything goes wrong you have to just flash the official stock rom via odin through download mode and now again your are in your original state so no need for backup
Hope this helps.
Hit thanks if it helped

I just try using Odin 3.07 to flash a original stock rom. However, during the start of flashing, Odin display a 'No Pit File' and stopped.
Moreover, flashing Chainfire or PhilipZ rom just failed.
What's wrong?
I've no problem using Odin before.

The stock rom is from my local Telco. Even when trying to flash a custom rom, the same thing happens.

The firmware listed is the same as what my Telco provides. Still cannot flash with Odin with the same error message.
Do you think is my phone is locked? If so, how to check its status?

When Kies upgraded the firmware it updated the bootloader. Unfortunately you are stuck on Official firmware MHG8 and higher. There are some roms out now with an official MH8 base and you might be able to flash the CM110 roms BUT at this point
Omega is MH1 base so you can't flash this...

You don't flash ROMs through ODIN. You'll need to use ODIN from your computer to flash the stock firmware, reroot, install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM, and flash the ROM through the custom recovery.

sammobile.com should have it. You'll need to make a free account, and search for your model. I'm not sure what firmwares you can and can't downgrade on i337m, so try and get the same one you were on before. You might also want to use a CSC changer to make sure it identifies with your correct carrier, but I don't believe it's necessary.

Thank you so much for your help.
Sorry if this is a simple question; What I want to know is, do I have to use some recovery mod and flash from the SD card, or can I simply flash custom ROMs from odin 3.09, the same as I did for my stock rom?
Specifically Imperium ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706844&nocache=1
Many thanks.

You always need a custom recovery to flash roms from either your internal or external sd card
I'd suggest philz recovery just flash the .tar file from here in odin then enter recovery & flash away
Not sure if you have rooted your phone as yet if not follow this link first
Okay, I never used a custom recovery when flashing the stock rom.?
I can't just download and flash the rom in Odin from my pc then?

You aren't flashing a stock rom it's a custom rom hence the custom recovery ?

I have rooted it using Odin already yeah

Yeah just flash it in pda then flash rom from philz recovery then it's done just setup required
You won't need odin again unless you want to return to stock (which I doubt).
P.s you should like the imperium rom you've been lookin at

No just flash recovery in odin & then just use recovery (power/volume up) to flash rom. No need for odin again
So the situation is that my phone is not booting up not in recovery mode and not in normal mode BUT it is however BOOTING INTO DOWNLOAD MODE .
now i thought maybe i will just reinstall the stock file and get back to business but it is still not booting up after flashing stock file properly as well in odin it goes as pass 100% but it does not boot back .
SINCE RECOVERY mode is not working i could not flash a custom rom
all this happened when i installed a boot logo changer zip from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65599504&postcount=22 , after that it hasnt been working !
please help @yash92duster or anyone else with such knowledge!

That link you attached is good
its the one many G900H users using
no one else faced the issue of bricking the device
maybe you must have dirty flashed several roms so it must have bricked
Try repartition with PIT
no other way i think
Keeps failing

do this
use laptop ( shutdown once and turn it back on and use )
use different usb 2.0 cable
use new odin application
Use New MM based Firmware
if it doesnt boot
then flash PIT alone in odin
then if stock recovery comes clear data and cache
and then install twrp and flash new roms
if not work i dont have any other solutions
:good::good:
good luck
tried but no show!

any idea on how much it could cost me ?
if it has any sign of life its ususally recoverable .
links to fw u have tried, were they for the g900h?
which odin ver did u try
pull battery for long time, say 10mins b4 going into dl mode.
just flash bl and modem, search xda for howto.
did u try kies?
u can try usb jig or jtag as last resort

Hey guys,
I really realized that I messed up
Long story short, I deleted my os while messing around with rooting and roms,
I can't get into download mode (to download stock rom)
And I'm stuck and don't know what else to do....
Forgot to say I have TWRP installed (luckily)
But when I try to download the stock rom zip it says (Couldn't find MD5 file
Invalid zip format, And when I try to boot it up into anything its stuck at the s4 logo. System, Recovery Ect.
I'm buying a new phone tomorrow but would still like to fix this s4.
And I did a poll to pass time, so if you wanna do it go for it

So you mean just installing it from twrp, because what I did was I downloaded the stock rom from my laptop and transferred it to my sd card, so if I use a different rom you think i'll get a different result?
P.S Thx for replying :good:
Can't install stock rom with twrp.
Get a usb jig to force the phone into download mode and flash a stock rom from sammobile.com or updato.com. You need to unzip the file once to get a tar.md5 for Odin.
