Hi,
You can try flashing firmware with a .pit file.

It's still a drivers/pc/port/cable problem.
You are not using a virtual machine are you?
I tried using different USB cables and on different USB ports. Drivers are correctly installed. Other phones are getting detected without any issues.
I'm not using a Virtual Machine. Thanks!
I had the same problem, try to use different pc like i did.
Shall I try using the .pit file? Can that be useful by any means?

.pit file contains information about partition sizes of System, Cache, and your Internal storage.
I'm personally using .pit file only if I have found broken partition when I was on custom recovery and custom ROM.
.pit file will be useful when you have broken your partition or soft bricked your phone and you want to recover back manually without go to Samsung Service Center. No need to change your computer, except all of your USB ports are dead.
Thankyou for the information. So, shall I proceed to flash the .pit file?

Most likely you tried to flash the wrong firmware/rom for your phone and that's why it failed.
Your best bet is to download the official stock firmware from http://SamMobile.com
and Odin flash it. Make 100% sure that the firmware you download is the right one
for your specific phone's model.
Good luck!

I installed few days ago 4.4.2, and CP_I9505XXUFNA5 and BL_I9505XXUFNA5. It has to much bugs so I decided to go back.
I tried to install stock rom from SamMobile with PDA in Odin and got this error.
I flashed just now TWR and GSM_Modem_XXUEMFK_and_LTE_Modem_XXUMFK and some custom rom 4.3 (google edition).
It installed but system keep crashing. I tried couple of roms and same situation. It is crushing all the time.
Could it be problem with bootloader

You can no longer downgrade to stock 4.3 mate,thats why your getting this error.. flash the 4.4.2 leak and that should fix your problem.

Oh yes! I forget, I installed FNA1 not FNA5 and i could come back to 4.3 because FNA1 dont have new bootloader... I rode that FNA5 have new bootloader and u can go back to 4.3.
The best choice is how said @Repulsa , U must install FNA5 and after install Philz-touch, CWM or TWR and install any 4.4.2
I hope that we helped to you! :good:
Regards,
A long time ago I sent my phone in for repairs (screen). I factory reset it and lost root. I don't even remember how I rooted it, it was an automated tool. After it came back from repairs, it still had 4.2.2 and MDL (it was a repair shop not Samsung).
Whenever I reset/turn phone off and back on, I get an error about com.android something, but only then, it works normally after. Due to this error, my phone tries to upgrade but fails (thankfully). I want to root my phone but I'm afraid it will fail because of that error. What exactly should I do next? I asked in another thread and I was told Motochopper was the best tool to root on 4.2.2. I just want to get rid of this error then root, that's it, what should I do next?
Moto chopper should work. I'm guessing towelroot would too. https://towelroot.com

But do you think I can just use it the way my phone is now? Someone told me to do a Factory Reset with Odin, but I have no idea how to do that. All the tutorials I find mention downloading something (apart from Odin itself), why would I need to do that if I'm just resetting?
This is the error I get "com.android.phone has stopped working".
I think I've already tried factory resetting with the physical buttons method and I still keep getting that.

Odin flashes the factory firmware, it does a lot more than a factory reset. You need to download the mdl firmware and flash that in Odin. You can get it at sammobile.com. It's a zip file, you need to extract it using 7-zip or win rar. After it's extracted you end up with a .tar.md5 file. That's what you use in Odin.
If you do flash it, the phone will want to update via the ota. You should make sure it doesn't do that by rooting it and freezing out deleting the update apps. There are three files and I don't remember their names

I restarted the phone and now I'm on the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I did have it connected to a rear usb port, let me change it.

It worked. Tried a different cable and port. I have all my apps, is that normal? I thought this did a factory reset.

After rebooting from the fail it gives a screen saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" and I can't open recovery but I can get into download mode again. I'm using an SM-G900F. Please help, I'm not a fan of £350 paperweights.

I've looked before but I've never managed to find one for my model, maybe I'm just dumb and not looking in the right place. Also I've heard that PIT files can potentially brick your phone so I'm a little hesitant
Well from the looks of the ROM name you're trying to flash, it's a G900F
PIT file is very easy to find for that model

You're a saint mate, thank you so much, I used the 16gb 900f pit from the link you gave alongside one of the ROMs in your signature and its back to working order
Nice one

Hello, i recently got a used s5 running 5.0 lollipop Poland latest build. I tried to root it and install customer recovery but was met with that recovery is seandroid enforcing something error. I looked on google found a workout to pull the battery out as soon as Odin finishes flashing Root. The situation is that i have rooted the phone and have also installed TWRP but when i press power +vol up + home to enter recovery it still does display that seandroid error for 3,4 seconds and then boots into recovery.....and i am not able to root my device normally (without pulling battery immediately). My question is that if i download that PIT file from the link you gave and flash it with odin will it delete my EFS or modem folder? ...will all these issues be resolved if i flash S5 16 GB pit file?
I've done everything to restore to stock firmware. I used odin-v3.10.6 and Kies 3. They both stop at 4%. My firmware is T530NUUEU1BOE5_T530NUXAR1BOE5_XAR.zip. But I can flash TWRP-2.8.7 via Odin just fine. But I am running out of ideas.

This is why I'm requesting a PIT file or another solution.

Try taking off the .md5 extension, or try the Canadian Firmware file, or try KitKat instead.
Also try doing a factory reset in recovery before flashing the firmware file

Some reason TWRP-v2.8.7 can't mount /system when I do a wipe. Is there a way to do it manually and wipe it myself?
Thanks

I tried everything you said and I got no where. TWRP complained that the file system was read only.

I'm trying it right now. I'm just confused why Odin stops at system.img.ext4. Is the partition corrupt because its read only? But I installed a custom ROM (BlissPOP) and it worked fine.

In TWRP 2870 you need uncheck checkbox on Mount button

Service firmware [SM-T530NUUEU1BOE5_XAR_SERVICE_LP.zip] didn't work. It stopped at 4% again. But I have 5.0.1 and not 4.4. TWRP won't let me check "system" under mount.
It stopped at 4% again

What is 4% ? Where ? I dont understand this .

That's where Kies 3 stopped at. It stops in system.img.ext4 [Odin-v3.10.6] at the beginning of it. But it does process it but very little of it.

Why Kies . Close it . Use only Odin with him guide . Go to dounload mode . Connect to PC . In Odin download unpack service firmware (BL , AP , CSC ) to their button . And start . Please copy Odin log to me .

Correct, kies is awful don't use it. Also use Odin v3.10 or 3.09, not 1.85
Boy, do I feel very stupid...
It was the cords. I had 2 extension USB cords attached to the cord for the Tab 4 and used a different USB port.
Now, the service and the regular firmware works now.
Thanks for everything.

I have a SC04E (Japanese NTT Docomo Galaxy S4) and I failed to flash Cyanogenmod and bricked my phone. When I try to put the original ROM from sammobile.com, I get this error on Odin:

From that I think I need a PIT file to flash but I couldn't find any pit file on the web.
I really need a pit file for it or if there's any way I can fix this problem, please reply.
Thank you in advance.

You probably do not need a .pit file.
In 99% of the cases the error is resolved by the following:
- Different usb port
- Different usb cable.

Thank you for your quick reply,
I have tried changing usb ports and checked all the cables I had and I even used different computer but I couldn't get it to work and always got the same message...

Are you trying to flash the latest firmware available? If you try to flash the latest firmware then it's still either one of these thing.
- Different usb cable
- Different usb port

I downloaded the latest firmware and there wasn't any errors but it gets stuck where the samsung logo appears. Is there any step that I missed?
it also says Recovery Mode on the carrier logo in blue and then reboots, next time without the message and shows samsung logo and shows the battery charging
nvm I redownloaded a latest rom and it fixed the issue
