My previous firmware was I9505XXUGNJ8 that in Kitkat 4.4.2
Today i was just trying to update to Lollipop 5.0.1
Tried direct flashing with Odin 3.09 the firmware I9505XXUHOB7_I9505YXYHOB5_I9505XXUHOB7_HOME.tar
Then it failed in the middle.
Now it does nt startup. Then i flashed the pit file for S4 i9505 and now the logo just comes then all goes black. Now i can start in download mode.
Help me how can i upgrade to 5.0.1

Make sure you're using the original cable, and that the cable isn't plugged into a hub. Plug it into a different port if need be, and try again.

[Q] Can't restore stock via odin

Hi everyone,
I just got my note 3 from Videotron sm-n900w8 only to realized it doesn'y have LTE on their network. So I'm trying to odin a stock firmware from sammobile (Rogers - RWC) but my phone stays the same.
I tried everything. Does this mean that I have a locked bootloader or some write protection enable?
I always check "usb debug" and "reactivate protection off". Installed the latest samsung usb mobile or kies. Tried with Odin 1.85, 3.07, 3.09. Tried different USB ports and cables. Tried NAND erase... Everything detects and ODIN says pass but my phone didn't wipe anything nor did it install the stock firmware (always same release or more recent).
What do I need to do to flash a stock firmware?

[Q] N910U 5.0.1 OTA not working

The lollipop update for the N910U in New Zealand this morning bricked my phone when I installed it this afternoon. I then went back to the latest 4.4.4 update and factory reset the phone and tried to install the 5.0.1 update again this time via ODIN, it got halfway through downloading the system.img before failing, so I reflashed the latest 4.4.4 update and tried again via Kies which also failed and this time when I try to reflash the 4.4.4 update it fails as well.
Now I'm currently trying a Software Update and Initialization via Kies, if it doesn't work what can I do?
EDIT: Changed to a different computer after trying all USB ports on my main one and it worked in ODIN.

Note: to have lollipop modem install an lollipop rom from sammobile then extract it and go install 7zip and open the lollipop fimeware(i9500****.tar) you have extracted and you see modem.bin take it and use odin by flashing in cp/phone in odin.

[HELP] G900F Stuck in firmware update mode (odin mode)

Hi, I have a s5 (Singapore) G900F. I rooted it and installed lollipop. (it was initially running kk 4.4.2) However, when I restarted, it got stuck in recovery booting. I tried reflashing the stock lollipop rom from sammobile and that didn't work. I then tried the same thing but with nan erase all. When that didn't work I tried the original kk 4.4.2 rom with a G900F pit file from xda. Now my phone is stuck in the firmware update (connect to kies mode). Any advice at all would really be appreciated. Thanks.

Phone not working after update.

Hey Guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530H, the updater asked me to update the Android into Lollipop from its original firmware Kitkat 4.4.4. After finished installing, it started bootloop, it wouldn't boot to the Android. I tried to search from many sources, to fix my phone, and I found some thread that I must to reflash the firmware because they said it's corrupted. After that, I downloaded Odin, the firmware (Android Lollipop) and flash it. It still can't boot to the Android. I tried to flash to Kitkat and it seems that the Odin was failed to flash the firmware. I can't find the CSC and PDA code from the phone because I can't boot into Android. I also tried Kies and SmartSwitch to initialize my phone, but it didn't work.
What should I do now???
