I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545) which I previously rooted via the Open1Your1Eyes0 pwn script. Everything was great except I wanted to update to the latest version and my phone failed with each attempt. I tried to unroot it using Odin to flash the VRUAMDK_NoWipe.tar.md5 stock ROM image.
That failed and now it's stuck on the ODIN MODE "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." message screen. The phone won't boot. If I hold Vol Down I can still go to the Downloading firmware screen, but I've tried flashing 3 other stock ROM's and nothing will work.
Any suggestions?
You are in the wrong forum. You need to go the verizon part.

If your Phone is Not Rooted & Still Official Recovery You are using Try to Recover with Samsung Kies Most of the issues it'll solve...
Did you Check before Flashing the Drivers & Proper AP/PDA section??
More important are you Flashing the Correct Firmware for your Device???
Yeah cant connect to kies back then but i found a trick to passe that fail in odin when upgrading to 5.0.1 : when it freezed i reopened the download mode and put the n910h root in odin and then it succeded and the phone rebooted and bootlooped i then could access the recovery mode , i wiped everything and the phone just worked but with the 4.4.4 .
I tried one more time with the same procedure but when i opened the recovery mode i just hit reboot and the phone now has a rooted lollipop 5.0.1 even though i got a fail in odin.
But i v got very strange stuff going on with my phone :
-First i checked my s/n and imei with phone info and it showed a N910C not N910H
-I dont have a csc code and when i want to check it with phone info this popup shows up :
Error type 2
android.util.AndroidException: Can't connect to activity manager is the system running?

I just dont find the csc code ..
A dm-verity verification failed shows up in the recovery mode
Phone info:
galaxy s5 (sm-g900v) verizon
sd card 16gb
previously before bricked had lollipop 5.0
So i was trying to root my s5 with odin and a custom rom. (i did not install a custom recovery) after the install through odin i tried to boot up the phone when i was greeted with the "Samsung Galaxy s5 powered by android" screen that stayed for a while, it then boots into recovery mode. i can not boot into android, but i can get into download and recovery mode easily. i tried to fix this by downloading more than 10 .tar files and trying to flash with odin but kept getting the error "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1" on the device. i was frustrated then decided to completely wipe everything so in recovery mode i wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partitioned the phone but it did nothing to my benefit. after hours and days of struggle and frustration i am posting this to see if anyone can help.
thanks,

Hello guys,
My plan was to do factory reset and then unroot my phone. I applied a lot of modding in the past and decided I wanted to go back to default phone setting again. Somewhere during this process I ran into this issue that would prevent odin from flash my phone properly...
When I rebooted my phone into Android Recovery, I saw these two messages at the bottom:
"dm-verity verification failed..."
"Need to check DRK first..."
I'm kind of stump on what to do next...
Then I rebooted the phone to go back into Android Recovery mode, and tried to do factory reset.
I got the following output instead:
"E:failed to mount /preload (No such file or directory)"
Is that indication bad?
Right now I'm lost on what to do next...
My Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge phone is the SM-G935U model.
Here are other info I got from the Android Recovery window:
MMB29M.G935R4TYU2APE2
samsung/hero2qlteusc/hero2qlteusc
6.0.1/MMB29/G935R4TYU2APE2
Thanks for any suggestions.
Hi, I think I f***** up badly...
I wanted to root my S7 Edge SM-G935F running android 7.0 so I enabled USB debugging and OEM unlock.
I used Odin to flash a CF auto-root I found for the 935F for android 7 and the site just said I had to install SuperSU after that but it was just boot looping.
After that I installed TWRP for my phone and installed the zip with Superuser. I kept receiving the error "failed to mount /data (invalid argument)".
I googled it and found a video that said I had to change my system "file system" from EXT4 to FAT. It was stuck so I rebooted the phone...
Now I can't load TWRP (it's stuck at the loading screen) to do a factory reset and when I do a normal boot it doens't go further than the S7 Edge screen, it doesn't go to the flashing SAMSUNG screen.
Now when I choose to reboot in Odin mode it says "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software."
I tried to do that but it says "unsupported device" and it doesn't see my phone in the Emergency Software Recovery tab.
I could have done a factory reset before but it's not the first time I root a phone and I never had a problem so I didn't back anything up but I have some very important pictures on my phone for school.
I enabled adoptable storage so I couldn't just take out the 128gb Samsung Pro + micro sd and copy the pictures on my pc.
Can somebody please tell me how to factory reset my S7 Edge even if I lose all my data. Sorry for my English it's my third language.
Thanks in advance
If I can remember correctly the "An error has occurred while updating th......." screen is actually the same as download/odin mode, so you can odin flash back stock rom.
Your data has probably already been lost during file system changing which automatically format /data.
Also I have never seen any phone run on FAT file system. S7 only support EXT4 and F2FS(required custom rom and kernel). So be careful next time.
AFAIK, there's currently no root available on stock nougat touchwiz rom unless you use modified kernel&rom.
For TWRP to be able to read /data.
/Data need to be FORMAT in TWRP once to remove encryption, so that TWRP can read it.
