So basically my phone does not work with odin anymore. I had my phone rooted both on KitKat and on the first build lollipop for the 910f. But it all changed when I upgraded to the newest build BOC3. I used CF-Auto Root. It gave me a fail with error "(Complete) Write operation failed.".
So I though it must not work with the latest lollipop, I flashed back the older version and tried it again which came to the same result. I tried older version of the file and also tried flashing TWRP and CWM recovery all failing with the same error. I tried changing cables and USB ports, no difference. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: After hours of searching it turns out the problem was that I had the reactivation lock on which prevented me from flashing anything but official samsung firmware. God damn so much trouble from such a small setting.

After flashing 4.3 leak on my I9500 using Odin 3.09, it doesn't boot up as it should, I have wiped data/cache, but to no avail. I even flashed the Russian official 4.3 firmware, but it just doesn't boot up as it should.
When I turn on the phone, the phone stops right after the "Galaxy S4 I9500," screen. I see a black screen right after that.
I tried to downgrade my phone using Odin 3.09, 3.07 and 3.04, but it keeps failing. My S4 shows "unsupported version," when I try to flash stock 4.2.2.
I am guessing this is probably happening because of the newer bootloader, the newer bootloader is making it impossible to downgrade to an older version.

ok try this first use the cf root provided in the cf root thread and then dload the latest 4.2.2 http://samsung-updates.com/details/14135/Galaxy_S_4_Exynos_Octa/GT-I9500/XFE/I9500XXUBMH1.html from here and flash it see what happens
Solved.
The problem was that I didn't flash the stock rom that came with my phone. I flashed that and my phone was restored to its factory settings. However my imei was messed up, it was showing me 0049. I rooted, flashed twrp recovery and used twrp to restore from a backup and I got my imei back along with my data.
I will wait for 4.3 to become flashable and see how it goes then.

i had this issue on my gs3 , try to move the odin md5 rom file and the odin folder to C: or my documents . maybe one of those directories where u have them right now are too large (odin has issues with long directories)
Alright, I have a Virgin Mobile S4. I rooted it a year ago with towelroot and installed clockwork mod on it to install cyanogenmod. I tried it, didn't like it so I restored my backup of the stock rom using CWM.
Fast forward to now. I tried to update my S4 OTA for Lollipop, but it would give me an error. I figured it was because I had changed the recovery software. So I went and downloaded the virgin mobile lollipop stock rom from sammobile. ( I337MVLUGOC4_I337MOYAGOC4_VMC ).
I tried to flash it onto my S4 using Odin 3.09. To no avail, it always failed at the system4.img.ext or something. From there I tried to make it work by using 3.10. Still failed. I googled for a fix or workaround and found something about reinstalling clockwork mod. I also tried reinstalling the PIT file for I337M. It was still not working. So I tried to flash back to my stock backup.
1st time I flashed, I kept having program that didn't want to start errors. I wiped dalvik, I wiped cache, I factory reset. Still bugged. So as a last resort I restored the backup again after having done all this. It worked! But...
Well, I'm at a lost now, I can't update using OTA, I can't update with Odin, I can't update with Kies. Now what? Is there a way to go back to the stock recovery and let the OTA or Kies update go through unhindered?
The proper place to ask this is in the AT&T S4 Forum as there are more people with that device who are able to help you. This is the International S4 forum, and while we can help you in a general sense, there may be something device specific we'll miss.
With that out of the way, with the ROM you downloaded, there would be no OTA updates when you installed it as it is the most current ROM available. Since Odin should have worked but didn't, you likely need to use a different USB port, and make sure you're not using a hub. Changing the port can often fix issues with Odin.
As @Strephon Alkhalikoi says this is not the place for it.
But there is one thing I notice. You are flashing an I337M firmware. Are you sure that's your model and you don't have an I337 (without M.
HI, I have tried to root my S5 900I but failed badly, have done other phones in the past but somehow stuffed this.
The phone is stuck on downloading screen and cannot do normal boot.
I Started with flashing "recovery.tar.md5" 1st which passed in Odin but phone stuck on downloading screen, then I went into recovery and tried reset and flash CF Auto Root but still not working.
Then flashed twrp.kit.tar and still no normal boot but I can get into recovery Team Win, have tried numerous wipes and installing more CF Auto Root's and also tried flashing Miui Rom.
I believe I have screwed up the stock rom and don't know what to do next.
appreciate any help

Same happened to my wife's Galaxy Grand Prime months ago; stuck at downloading mode after rooting and installing TWRP recovery. The problem was with the version of TWRP recovery I was installing. Looks like I was installing the wrong one (although the website I downloaded it from states that it's the correct one for the device model). I tried different versions from different websites and was about to wipe everything and flash the stock rom but finally I got the correct one and that fixed the problem. Hope that helps.

Thanks, I'll keep trying different TWRP, have tries so many but have changed the outcome yet
Hi there,
My tablet got updated to 7.0 Nougat here the other day. Now a few functions I needed in 6.0.1 is no longer working in Nougat.
So I of course I downloaded stock rom, odin, and added the files to their corresponding selections, and as I hit Start, it reads the file, and as it goes on to flash system or data, it just fails right out of the blue. This is early start even before its flashed anything it seems.
The error code showing on the tablet is: "system rev. check fail device:1 Binary:0"
FRP lock is OFF aswell. Tried flashing it over a custom ROM aswell, but same error persists. It actually started asking for PIT file all of sudden. But even with that handled, it still gave fail on same place. Tried 3 different OS versions of 6.0.1 for my tablet.
Any idea how to bypass this version check? It's like the tablet has added some data into its motherboard saying its on 7.0 and nothing below is allowed except custom. Is there any way to flash the downloaded stock ROM to be flashed in Odin, in TWRP?
Also just using a custom ROM isnt an option due to safetynet is a part of some of the functions I require.
EDIT:
Just after typing this, I managed to use V5 of Ultra Lean ROM for T580, did full unroot of SuperSU after a full boot, and said yes to attempt Stock Boot Image, and No on Stock Recovery. Now safetynet gave validated status
Hi everyone, I wanted to put a root issue on the Galaxy S7 edge.
I installed via Odin the latest version of ITV PDA G935FXXU1DQIC and CSC G935FITV1DQI1.
Once you've finished flashing once, I put it back in Download Mode and always flash through Odin the latest version of AutoRoot.
However, the phone still hangs before loading with a screen that warns me that the integrity of the system has not been checked out. I had tried to disable all security settings several times, but nothing. Once I install the root the phone gives me an error telling me that to reset the device I should do a factory reset.
How can I fix it is what? With previous firmware it did not work out what.

If you are using Chainfire's Autoroot it wont work on Nougat.. if you use some third-party AutoRoot i can't help you.
Best way i can recommend to you is to flash latest TWRP and easly get root also you can flash some of great custom roms you can get here!
