Hello, I tried to flash the official lollipop rom to my i9505, and during the flash, the phone got disconnected somehow(although cable was attached).
So I'm trying to flash again, ODIN recognizes device, and phone can still go to download mode, but the problem is that when I connect to odin, the phone keeps connecting and disconnecting, and odin keeps saying:
Added!!
Removed!!
Added!!
Removed!!
I tried 2 different computers, and 3 different microUSB cables.
So I can't really flash it like that, and since the previous flash failed I can't flash a custom rom from microSD either.
I wanted to flash a new ROM because I was having problems with my phone(it kept frozing, when I called people, no sound, battery was draining really fast and more).
Does anyone know what I can do, or is my phone useless now?

Hello,
I recently flashed the Overcome ROM/Kernel (I'm still quite a noob though). After call volume issues I tried to flash the stock rom using the files from samfirmware.
I can flash the PIT successfully, it's when I try to flash the PDA file (either overcome kernel or stock firmware) I get this:
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..
<ID:0/005> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/005> zImage
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Can anyone help me or am I now the not so proud owner of a expensive and stylish paperweight?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
First let me get this right. You would like to go back to sgt stock rom after flashing the overcome kernel?.
As long as you can boot into download mode. There is still hope. If odin is giving you problems try Heimdal to flash zimage modem and other files from the samfirmware archive. If you still want to use odin. Try doing a factory reset and a wipe from recovery (vol up and power).
Just a word of caution samfirmware roms might have signed bootloaders. Which can be a hinderance for flashing custom roms in the future.
Heimdal doesn't want me to click start (it's greyed out).
I've put the pit, pda, modem and CSC files in and it's still greyed. Am I doing something wrong? I installed the drivers as stated in the read me.
Edit: Got a bit of life out of it, when I uncheck everything but PDA it allows me to click start but throws: Failed to access device. Error: -12
Then Try a factory reset and a wipe from the Recovery mode. Wipe it clean and start fresh.
I couldn't get into recovery.
I've just changed the driver to the unsigned ones (not the originals as stated in readme) and it seems to be working at the moment....
fingers crossed
It wouldn't go past the galaxy tab screen so I tried again and the same I get an image of a phone, exclamation mark in a triangle and a pc. I think this is like download mode as I can still access via odin which allows me to flash the PIT and get download mode back.
It seems a problem with the zimage process, I've tried 3 different versions with no luck
Thing seems dead now. It made a loud beep when I plugged it in to the PC but that's it
Plug in your wall charger and see if Tab charges. If it charges fully charge the tab and try a RESET. You might want to try ROTO ROMs at development section first to get your tab started before going into any trials with stock ROMs.
Personally i use odin. Find it easier.
If you followed the instructions for overcome, clockworkmod recovery is installed by default
All you have to do is copy the Overcome rom zip file (200+meg) to your ext sd card.
Boot to clockworkmod recovery (power+up buttons)
Clear all caches
Select install rom from sd card
Choose overcome zip file
Install
Reboot kernel is installed with rom
______________________

it doesn't want to charge, it seems it can't draw enough power from USB to even run off that.
When plugged into the wall I get the phone, triangle, computer screen and it constantly restarts after less than a second.
Think I'll just have to take it back to PC world and act dumb (like the staff)
Left plugged into the wall over night, the battery is still dead.
I'll faf around a bit more today and if no progress I'll just return it to the store.
Thanks for your help
Tired plugging into rear usb and after a while it turned on and went to the phone - triangle - computer screen (some sort of alternate download mode) flashed PIT with odin, this enabled me to actually get into download mode (or see the galaxy tab logo til the battery dies if I want to). Then flashed rest of the files with Heimdall, still the tab doesn't allow me to turn on. Thinking it might be due to low power I plugged into wall charger, usually when the tab is charging when turned off you see the battery image with the green level indicator, all I see is an empty battery with the sort of loading thing in the middle of it (though it isn't going round). Still doesn't seem to want to charge (or turn on) is the charging process governed by the kernel?
Just called PC World support, told them I turned it off last night to charge and when I turned it on it just showed the galaxy tab screen. They said just take it instore and they'd swap it
So I tried to flash modem (GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1.tar) before installing OmegaROM 13 to my i9505, Odin failed with message "Complete(Write) operation failed" while flashing it. Now... if I just turn phone on it boots into Download mode with message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." and tells me to run Kies, which I've done and Kies also fails while flashing modem (Kies downloads and flashes I9505XXUBMG4_I9505OPSBMG2_I9505XXUBMG4_HOME image). Tried to flash original Optus ROM and it also fails while flashing modem:
...
<ID:0/003> system.img.ext4
<ID:0/003> modem.bin
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Any ideas?
thanks.
Different usb cable, different usb port, different pc, reinstall drivers, make sure kies is not running in the background.

Why do you think it's a usb/driver/pc/etc?! It doesn't flash modem ONLY.

Take the advice and just give it a try
99% of the time this is the reason for a failed flash

Just tried. As I thought it doesn't make any difference for me.
UPD. tried on two more computers in office. one didn't work, second one did the job. now what I don't understand is why did it happen? I mean I was flashing new ROMs for ages using same computer an home, then something went wrong and Odin and Kies have failed flashing SAME file from different ROMs (that was modem) on on 3 different computers...
Hello Guys,
I'm in trouble with a G900M device, after a OTA update, it stay in bootloop, but i cannot enter in a recover mode, when i try flash any room in Odin (various versions) don't work and i receive a message on the screen:
" ODIN: flash read failure"
" ERROR: there is no a pit binary"
"SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT"
" ODIN: flash read failure"
i have tryied to flash de pit file from this forum, and another in the internet, bot i had the same message.
can anyone help me ?
Thx.
The messages you are getting would indicate this is Odin not communicating with the device, so it's probably a PC end problem....
There is a basic checklist for odin flashing, the chances are you are probably doing everything correctly, but it won't hurt to make sure....
1) which version of Odin are you using. (3.10.7 is usually the best for the S5)
2) do you have the Samsung USB drivers installed on your PC. (You will get them when you install Kies)
3) Which version of Windows are you using. (From Windows Vista onwards you need to run Odin as administrator and Odin has had problems with Windows 8)
4) Do you have firewalls/antivirus disabled.
5) have you killed all Kies processes in task manager. (Kies interferes with Odin)
6) Are you using a primary USB socket on the pc. (A USB socket connected directly to the motherboard instead of one that runs through a 'hub')
7) are you using an official Samsung USB cable. (Other, cheaper, non branded cables are known to cause issues)

i've tryed to flash again whit Samsung USB 3.0 cable, and have the same trouble, i'm using windows 10, and have tested much versions for odin.
What about Kies? Have you installed it? It will give you the latest USB drivers.....
Also I'm wondering if you using Windows 10 is the problem.....it's a new OS and I'm not sure if Odin is 100% compatible yet.
If you have access to an older pc it could be worth giving it a try on that.....
I have an old XP laptop that I use whenever I flash a device......I refuse to get rid of it....lol

i'd installed Kies, samsung smart, drivers around internet forums and nothing, (i uninstall each item rsrs)
now i have tested at windows XP computer and odin return it:
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..
<ID:0/005> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/005> FAIL!
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Re-Partition operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Device screen returns:
" ODIN: flash read failure"
" ERROR: there is no a pit binary"
" SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT"
" ODIN: flash read failure"
using two different cables (a xperia Z2 cable and 3.0 usb for samung S5 )
no longer know what to do...
My S5 is dead?

You can use Kies Firmware Recover instead of flash via Odin.
kies returns the same error at device screen, i'm now thinking for the trouble is in logicboard.
Sorry fella, I'm pretty much out of ideas if you want to remain stock.....I know of a website where you can get engineer or repair firmwares for the S5.....but I've already checked and they don't do one for the M variant. I don't suppose there's any way you can take it to a service centre is there?......
Have you thought about trying out a custom rom setup?

Hello,
I keep on playing with lots of ROMs and Mods so I am quite familiar with the entire process of flashing via recovery or odin. However, something really sinister happened to my S4 and I can't find anything that can revive my dead S4. Here is what happened exactly.
1. My battery would only give around 4 hrs of backup so I went and bought a new Galaxy S4 battery.
2. I came home and tried to replace the battery but the phone wouldn't show signs of life. I thought it was because the new battery had no charge. I tried to charge the phone. It kept of showing the lightening bolt sign for very short period in frequent intervals. I let it charge for an hour thinking the new battery was in deep sleep but to no avail the battery didn't work. The battery wouldn't charge but the upper portion of my phone was heated.
3. So I removed the new battery (which I would go the next day to replace) and I placed my old battery which started the "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500" logo but after I ended up with a black screen.
4. I tried to go to recovery mode but it would just get stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500" forever.
5. I went to download mode and connected it to Odin (which would assign ID:COM to my S4 meaning it recognizes it) and tried to flash TWRP but it would always get stuck at Initializing...
6. When I disconnected the phone it would say "Get PIT for mapping" and "There is no PIT partition"
7. I tried to flash Stock ROM (I9500XXUHPI1_I9500ODDHOJ1_I9500DDUHPE1_HOME.tar.md5) which gave the same result stuck at "Initializing..."
8. I tried 4 different USB cables, a desktop with Win 10, A desktop with Win 7, a laptop with Win 10, a laptop with Win XP, all the USB ports of each computers and still got the same result. I also tried 5 different Odin versions. Nothing!
9. I tried to flash PIT file with the stock ROM, same result.
10. I installed Kies, killed the processes, updated drivers, uninstalled kies and installed only the Samsung drivers and still wont work.
11. I tried to do the "Firmware upgrade and initialization" from Kies and put my model "GT-I9500" and my S/N and it said my model doesn't support initialising.
12. I have cleaned my USB port too. Oh, by the way, I had once replaced the charging flex and it would still give some problems regarding the "back" soft key but only once in a blue moon which I have ignored.
This is what happens in Odin every single time I try to flash anything at all.

Please help me. I don't know what to do because the download mode seems to never load anything into the phone. I am literally on the verge of tears.
I'm sure this is not what you want to hear, but you may need to let a professional look at it.
You've tried pretty much everything that might make the flash fail or get stuck, and yet it still doesn't work. So I'm pretty sure the problem is not you.
Are you using the original Samsung USB cable? Tried different USB cables and USB ports?
Based on my experience with Samsung phones (s2, s3, s4, Note 2, note 3), they are picky about USB cables when flashing in Odin.
Hi,
I have a Galaxy s4 I9505 on which I try to flash a new bootloader with Odin, so a tar file containg only aboot.mbn, sbl1,sbl2, sbl3,mpn,tz.
I'm pretty sur that the current one is a 4.2.2 and I want to upgrade to a 5.0.1.
So I put my phone on USB debugging mode, boot in download mode, select the bootloader.tar (which is compatible with my phone) in the BL field of ODIN which I launched as admin, , connect my phone which is correctly detected by Odin and then start to flash. The problem is that it always fails with this message:
Code:
<ID:0/003> aboot.mbn
<ID:0/003> FAIL! (Auth)
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I have the correct samsung drivers, I tried on different PC (windows 7/10), different USB ports and USB data cables, but I have always the same error message. The only thing that I did not try is to flash with the original samsung USB cable which I read in other forums that could be the cause.
I also say that ODIN works with no problem on the same phone when I flash any stock ROM (downgrade, upgrade) or any recovery file, so that's why I don't think that the cable could be the reason.
I'm not really sure if my bootloader is unlocked but I guess it is otherwise flash would not be possible, but I have no way to see of it is unlocked or not.
I don't see what else could be the reason, write access persmission?
Thx.
try older Odin version....

Hi, thx but I should have added also that in my first post, I think I tried every possible version of Odin from 1.83 to 3.12, no luck...
I know you said you have tried it on different PCs and USB ports, but does this mean you also tried the rear ports?
I know most PCs nowadays have front ports for convenience so maybe you haven't tried that option. Rear vs front does seem to make a difference.

Yes I did
Try to flash the entire stock Rom from Sammobile.com rather than just the bootloader.
You confirmed the model # in download mode?

already done also..it starts by flashing aboot.mbn and so fails exactly the same way..

Sorry, what do you mean by that? I don't see anything to confirm.
Boot into download mode. Is the model # gt-i9505?
Since the aboot.mbn is not flashing because the ROM is not for the phone, the bootloader in the phone is newer than the bootloader in the ROM, or you need to use the original USB cables.
