Help me unbrick my device. N910H - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys... I have been at this for a few hours now. I own a Note 4 N910H. I had upgraded OTA to lollipop last month. I was reading some reviews on lollipop because I was experiencing a lot of bugs with the OS. A lot of people were having the same issues as me. So I decided to go back to kitkat. This is where my problem happens. I accidentely soft bricked my device.
Everything I've done:
Downloaded kitkat and tried to install via odin. (Didn't check developer settings prior, not sure if this was the problem)
Device soft bricked
Turned on my device and saw this message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
Tried to access Kies, it said my device wasn't supported.
I googled around and saw an article saying I have to go back to lollipop.
I downloaded lollipop and tried to install via odin. It failed again with the same error when I turn on my device.
All help will be greatly appreciated. I really hope I don't have to send my phone back. I don't have a backup lol.

Just flash a custom recovery via odin and reboot and you are good to go

Would that root my device? I don't want to void my warranty. If it doesn't void it, how do I go about doing those steps? This whole thing is driven me nuts.
Edit: THANK YOU!!! All is good now!

Use a pit file for it. Because your hidden partition fails. Or you can Flash your latest rom with no error. I think you re trying another rom from your latest.

User the usb ports in the back of your pc. If that didn't work try a different pc.
Make sure that Kies is not running and all Kies processes are closed.
Open Task Manager and double chek this.
This is a very important step as Kies can interfer with Odin.
Make sure that you have downloaded the correct firmware from Sammobile.
Turn off phone completely
Wait a couple of seconds
start phone in Download mode
Open Odin
Connect phone to PC.
Load the downloaded firmware (from Sammobile) as PDA
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset checked and hit Start.
If it fails again, try with another version of Odin.
Perhaps Odin 3.07 will work?
Also, and I know this sounds stupid, use a different USB cable or the original Samsung one if you're not already... Made the world of difference when I was flashing....

I also tried on various versiond of ODIN - the same results.
Now my phone is not able to launch - it gives me only the screen with
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In KIES I can't do the emergency recovery mode because KIES can't see the device. I've tried on Windows with KIES3 and KIES but also on KIES for MAC - all with the same result ;(
I don't know what to do, I'm hopeless - could you help me somehow ??
Change of USB cable/port and verify if Kies 3 is completely closed when you are using ODIN.

[Q] Botched Downgrade with Odin (Galaxy S5 SM-G900A)

I managed to soft brick my Galaxy S5 from AT&T and this happened when I was trying to downgrade to 4.4.2 Kitkat so that I could root it, and i have basically created a bootloop to where every time I shut it down and start it up, all I get is the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Pleases select recovery mode in Kies & try again) the only problem is that Kies isn't connecting my phone and I've tried both versions of Kies. Kies and it's processes are killed when I use odin. I can still use Download mode, but I really need to get my phone to at least boot up again. All the data was wiped so I don't care about getting it back, but I just really need some help. The Odin text that I keep getting is:

[Q] Help Galaxy S4 stuck in firmware upgrade....nothing works to fix

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S4 I9500 and tried to update the ROM a few days ago. ODIN crashed before completing and I am now stuck in the yellow triangle screen with " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue....."
I downloaded the stock firmware from Samsung and when I try to install i get the following message:

Also the phone has a red message in the left corner: SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE:3 BINARY:2
I have also tried with to ODIN with a PIT file and looked at various forums and tried different things however nothing seems to work. Is there anything else i can do or is my phone busted?
Why flash a 4.3? It isn't possible.
Just pick the latest version available for you phone and flash that.
You want to downgrade and that isn't possible.

Bricked s6 edge+ g928w8 on frp...fails on odin

I restarted my phone and it went into FRP lock. I can only access download mode and do not have access to recovery. I have tried downloading stock firmware using Odin but it fails every time. When ever I download something from Odin I get this

and then in my phone it says "secure fail check : (Bootloader)"
Any suggestions on how I can get into my phone!?
Try using Samsung smartswitch while phone is in download mode and use the reinstall feature and see if that cannot help you get back to stock (and a working phone)
I have SM G928F , had same problem. I downgraded the bootloader and succeeded in putting new recovery on my phone and then flashed custom Rom….
Hope this helps.

Hello everyone, mazzie66 could you please explain how you downgraded your bootloader. Thanx
s6 edge+ bricked by frp
I bought second hand s6 edge + g928f blocked google account.
i have the imei and s / n number but i do not know what firmware it had on it.
now it's just download mode or recovery.
I flashed 3-4 firmware stock successfully, but it gets into recovery when it opens.
I used odin / z3x.
I have edited the firmware and combined them with boot / modem / sboot / hidden etc.
I searched in vain how I could learn the former firmware version.
with the smart switch after entering the model and telling her to contact the service center. with kies the same. i just know it is 7.0 encoded vodafone romania.
I've had some bugs with drk.
I would like to ask you how to install a custom rom (twrp) or pass frp lock.
Sorry for English.
This video can help to fix the black, bricked Samsung Galaxy phone, wish helpful with you.
