Need help asap! No wake ups from sleep!!!

Hi guys
I recently flashed OD4 Stock Lollipop to my phone via Odin with PIT file. It flashed fine but device randomly freezes, pc doesn't detect it (although downloading mode is fine) and the worst is DEVICE DOESN'T WAKE UP SOMETIMES. It just doesn't respond to buttons. It randomly reboots as well. My device had no issues since I flashed via Odin. What can I do???? I have backups from an aosp rom and a custom Touchwiz.
Device : I9500 With 32GB SD
Stock Rom and Stock Kernel
No root >> Can do it if its necessary
Thx.

Well, you could a another solution that for others is risky but it's not, if you follow the steps carefully. Flash your correct firmware (with the correct pit for this firmware) with odin 3.10 and check f reset time, auto reboot and Nand Erase All (you will loose ALL your internal data), re-partition (as you have PIT file), and Phone Bootloader Update. When flashing process is finished, the system will reboot to stock recovery and will appear an android repairing, after it it will reboot in Samsung startup but it will not boot, so you must boot to recovery with power+volup, wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache again. Then reboot and wait, it may take up to five or six minutes approx.
i leave attached an odin version that is woking fine.
I hope it helps.

Alright man I did everything you said and IT WORKED! THX VERY MUCH!! I had a 5.0.1 Chinese Firmware on my PC's hdd (4 files + special PIT) and i flashed it with your Odin and it went good. But I didnt have the Google Play Store on The CHN firmware so I restored my Prism backup and its working flawlessly now. Before flashing the CHN, the backup had the same Lockscreen issue. Now I have the CHN bootloader also. But when I flash the latest OD4 from sammobile (1 file + PIT from another site) It just doesnt flash (FAILED!). So I tried with NAND Erease etc.. then it worked, BUT THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN! What is wring with the OD4? Im on Prism now (flashed CHN before restoring). I want the stock OD4 because its updated. Do I need to flash OD4 with 4 files or with a special PIT?
(sorry for bad english)
Thx

Try flashing OD4 this time ticking auto reboot, re-partition, bootloader update, and f reset time, but without flashing the pit file, only the tar.md5 (if so) in AP. As i know the pit for china differs from other countries cause that, google and some bloatwate, and as far i know, OD7 firmware doesn't come with an seperate pit file. You must factory reset before doing this.

Problem upgrading from Kitkat to Lollipop...

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade my SM-900 (ha3g) from Kitkat to Lollipop.
I've flashed the latest TWRP and the 5.0 bootloader via ODIN.
I then use TWRP to flash the ROM (I've tried CM and a couple others) - I wipe the necessary file systems prior to wiping and then select the zip to flash it. It flashes fine. I reboot the system and after the Samsung SM-900 screen comes up, it just remains black. Nothing appears. I've waited quite a while in the event it was just initializing, but that's not the case. I've also tried to wipe the caches and factory reset AFTER flashing, but that does not fix the issue.
The phone will just not boot.
Anyone ever experience something like this?
Thanks!

Is a stock LP ROM available for your phone one sammobile.com? If there is, it can be flashed via Odin.

There is, before I try that, is that really my only option? I mean, there must be logical explanation as to why this is happening. I just can't find it via search here or on google .

Three things,
1- Make sure you are using a ROM for N900, not N9005.
2- Check the MD5 value of the ROM you are flashing.
3- How long are you waiting after flashing the ROM? It actually takes quite a long for the first boot, around 5 minutes or so.
Let us know what happens.

Tried those to no avail, unfortunately...
So I flashed a stock ROM with ODIN, and then flashed Cyanogen and it worked. Maybe the modem or some other image wasn't updated and interfering. No idea.
So, mystery solved.
Thanks guys .

Korean note 4 SM-N910L WITH latest official 5.1.1 wont even flash official 5.0.1

Hi guys i bought korean N910L (n910L is written on sticker under battery )
It had a rom which showed mobile name n910s , it was rooted bloat free. it had really good battery timing. Twrp was also preinstalled on device.
But i wanted to flash sphinx rom for n910L. But the flash in odin failed.
I tried official 5.0.1 but it also failed. Only latest official COL1 firmware 5.1.1 from sammobile flashed but it had terrible battery timing.
I rooted official 5.1.1 and tried to remove bloatware apps but they wont. Went to odin mode which showed os and binary as custom and secure download enabled.. Again tried flashing sphinx and official 5.0.1 for n910l but both failed and odin showed binary as Samsung official. Error on pc odin shows write failed. Is the bootloader locked or what. Can i unlock it or downgrade bootloader to 5.0.1. Or give me the link to the first bloat free rom which showed model number n910s and build number written " awais android lab "

solution
finally found solution. THIS IS HOW IT WORKED FOR ME on lollipop col1 fimware of SM-N910L
twrp wasnt flashing so using cwm, flashed it as follows
connected phone in download mode and opened odin 3.10 on pc, then selected cwm recovery file and then while holdind vol+ and home and power buttons in download mode for about 5 seconds pressed start on odin and when phone booted left power button but kept pressing home n + until cwm started
here is the link to veitnamees site http://vegaviet.com/forum/288/
open in chrome and translate page to english
u will find some roms here for korean variants
goal is to install lollipop 5.1.1 custom rom as u cant go back to android 5.0 or 4.4
i m using this one http://vegaviet.com/threads/398322/
download it using the mega link given in thread
and flash in CWM
if u have problem booting, as my samsung boot screen showed kernel is not seandroid enforcing, then
use the stock rider kernel link given in another rom's thread http://vegaviet.com/threads/415270/
kernel link http://www.mediafire.com/download/ra5ojtvt19y7hh3/StockRider_Kernel_v2.8.0.zip
flash it immediately after flashing the note 5 port rom and then reboot after wiping catche
first boot took me about 10 minutes (i was beginning to give up),, battery life seems average ( not sure but 5.0 seemed better)
hope it helps some in problem. if it does help ,plz hit thanks as it took quite afew hours to find solution

it must be impossible. please help if unbricking this g928t edge plus is possible.

i flashed twrp recovery and rooted phone with cf-autoroot multiple times because of the dm-verity verification failing and causing FRP lock to brick my phone. i have always just flashed stock firmware and it has always fixed the issue until now. now that wont even work and i feel like ive tried everything possible. can anyone please please help me out. ive been without a phone for 2 days and it is my only phone to use. please help.

Can you get into recovery and/or download mode?
Try a 3 file flash with odin. I found these seem to fix better than the 1 big file.
Did you make a nandroid backup? Try reverting back if you did.
Did you go from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 of yes, did you flash the new bootloader?

yes i can get into both download mode and stock recovery. and yes i did go from 5.1.1 to 6.01 WITHOUT flashing a new bootloader. and i also never made a nandroid backup. i made some backups with twrp but it seems as if has disappeared because now i have stock recovery again. which 3 files should i flash? BL, AP, CP,CSC? which 3? and should i use the 5.11 or 6.01 files?

The 3 files go in the AP, BL and CP slots in Odin.
Grab the latest firmware from Sammobile. Turn phone off,. Once it has completely shut down, use key combo volume down, home and power button to boot onto download mode.
Flash the 3 files and wait for phone to reboot.
If want to go back to 5.1.1 then grab that firmware, or of you are happy on 6.0 that's fine too.
Good luck, and as long as you can get into download mode, all is not lost

Nothing would work. I tried everything you mentioned. On a whim I tried smart switch. The recovery and initialization and I could not believe my eyes when it worked completely 100 %. I really thank you for the knowledge and input though. Thank you.

Really old modem and bootloader, what are my options from here?

It's been a while since I've flashed anything; at least a year, though more likely two. Whatever I have now I'm guessing is a rom called stock(ish)v06, since that's what is listed in my bootloader. I guess the modem (baseband?) is NAE, and I'm still using a very old version of TWRP (2.6.3 according to my signature, haven't checked).
Obviously, the development that still exists for this device has moved well past me. But given how temperamental my device has been lately, I want to give flashing something newer a shot before buying a new device.
Trouble is, I'm not sure how to go about flashing roms and finding the right modem/firmware when everything I have is so out of date.
Suggestions?

Download latest fully stock firmware so you will have latest bootloader and modem from http://www.sammobile.com
which is Lollipop, then flash latest TWRP. If you like stock, there is a stock deodex ROM, there is the awesome Wicked X (heavily modified Lollipop stock), or if stock is not your thing you can get CM12(Lollipop) or CM13 official(Marshmallow)

I want to make sure I understand what you're telling me to do, so a few clarifying questions:
1) I am meant to be updating TWRP first, then using it to flash stock firmware to update the bootloader and modem, and then flashing a rom of my choosing?
2) Why is that method preferable to using Odin to update the modem?
3) If I flash this newer official firmware, am I going to lose root?
4) In flashing the newer firmware, won't my bootloader lock, making it not possible to flash a new rom?

1) No, use Odin to flash full stock that you downloaded from sammobile.com, you cannot flash full stock from recovery.
2) Because some if not most newer ROMs require you to be on Lollipop bootloader.
3) Yes you will lose root, but this flashing of stock firmware is to update your bootloader and modem so you can flash the newest ROMs. The lack of root doesn't matter since you will be flashing latest TWRP via Odin and modified ROMs soon after.
4) if you have Sprint L720 the bootloader isn't locked. Check I'm 'about phone' to make sure you have an L720 and not another variant of S4
Make sure Samsung drivers are installed on your computer.
So your flashing steps go as follows:
1) Download everything you need first:
a) Full stock from http://www.sammobile.com to your computer
b) Latest TWRP tar file to your computer
c) The custom ROM of your choice (and correct gapps if AOSP or CM based) saved on external SD card on your phone since it will be flashed via recovery.
2) Turn phone off completely. I pull the battery then put it back in then boot directly to download mode: power + volume down. (Rebooting to download mode doesn't always allow a proper flashing)
3) Start Odin (uncheck reboot and reset time) and then plug phone into computer.
4) If COM lights up green in Odin click AP and select the file you downloaded from sammobile (it will be PDA instead of AP if you are using an older version of Odin) and click OK or start (I don't remember which it has)
5) If it flashes successfully pull the battery and then put it back in and turn the phone on normally. It will take a while to boot, like 15-20 minutes possibly. Flashing stock myself I have seen it say it was successful and it wasn't and the fix for me was to leave reset checked and let it do it's thing.
6) Once you have booted into your newly flashed stock OK3, do step 2 and 3 again, so you can flash TWRP.
7) When you go to flash TWRP in Odin uncheck reset time and DEFINITELY have reset unchecked (if Odin reboots your phone TWRP doesn't stick). Do step 4 again except this time select the TWRP tar file. Once it flashes successfully pull battery put it back in and boot directly to recovery (power + volume up) from there do a backup if you want, if not you can flash the custom ROM and gapps if necessary that you downloaded earlier.
