Hi guys, i have some big problems with my n910f, tried to upload a pic to facebook and my phone crashed.
It simply does nothing, not booting, not charging, download and stock recovery are working.
I tried everything possible>
*flashed 3 different stock firmwares with odin
*tried a pit file repartion in odin
*wiped cache, did a few factory resets from stock revovery
*bought a new battery
*tried to root and flash a custom recovery but doesnt work
It is simply as bricked as it could be, the only information about this i have is stock recovery telling me unable to mount /data
So it seems my filesystem got corrupted as hell
The question is, how do i repair it?
Like i said pit file and bootloader flash did nothing, odin lets me flash everything without an error but it doesnt help.
I assume i could somehow repair it with adb fastboot but how?
Any help is welcome!

It may or may not help but I would sure try Kies. You NSFW get done errors like Kies telling you is not compatible bit but I would try the firmware initialization.

Well i forgot to mention that i tried kies aswell, everyhting went good but didnt help, still nothing.
It confuses me a bit that it doesnt even charge, could a broken filesystem lead to this?

I am not sure what parts of the system need to be working for the battery to be able to charge. Good luck.

did try root=> costum recovery for your variant => installing costum roms for your variant (all can be done with odin +sd card and some fils on it) but warranty is lost it may worth the try
did you try the 5 flashing fils(pit pda bl csc phone) to initial stocks with odin

i have the same problem, do you know where can we find the complete 5 files (pit pda bl csc phone) for flashing with odin?
its the only thing i haven't already tried.
I manage to fix the issue with storage partition, i used a pit file and the one file firmware in csc button, that made the hole data partition rewriten again so the phone is able to boot properly.
Hope you gays this may help.
Happy new year!!

This morning I was attempting to update the firmware on my i9505.
I downloaded and extracted the .tar.md5 file and opened Odin in administrator mode.
Stupidly I then added the downloaded file as Phone and not PDA and pressed start in Odin. Unsurprisingly it failed.
I downloaded and tried other firmware (as Phone) before I realised my error.
When I boot the phone "normally" I get the failed firmware update message and have tried Kies but it can't connect to the phone.
Download mode does work, but when I try with the firmware (stock and pre-rooted) as PDA it always fails.
Can someone please help to recover my phone? I'm feeling pretty stupid just now

djembey sent me a couple of files and a ROM passed in Odin.
I don't think it's loading though as it's stuck on the SAMSUNG logo (and has been for about 15 mins) ....

I rebooted to recovery and did a wipe data then a wipe cache. Recovery crashed and the phone rebooted.

Did you feel the adrenalin flowing? I thought I bricked mine earlier. We had a mini power cut half way through flashing and it booted up with "Connect to Kies to do emergency firmware upgrade" or something like that. lol
Felt the cheeks of my bum twitch a bit there. lol
Managed to reflash one of the few stock ROMS I have to hand.

Aye, you could say that
I would say that I won't try flashing again after 3 or 4 hours sleep, but knowing me I probably will ....
S4 bricked after freeze during unmount internal sdcard
Dear friends. I need your help!
I did the actualization on my S4 i9500 (I9500XXUAMDK with root) and after this, I was trying to put more space in my SDcard (editing vold fstab files). During this process, appeared a message on phone about one error in sdcard and it suggested me to unmount the sdcard to try solve the problem. So, when I click yes, the phone froze and then I turned it off, but now it dont pass to Sangung Logo and the phone just go in recovery mode. In recovery mode I tryied clear/mount/unmount some file, but return with error to mount any directories.
I think the phone have the files or some partition corrupted!!! I can access it through ODIN and adb shell as well. There is (in adb commands) a command to fix the partition? How can I do?
I can access the phone in ODIN, and I tried to re-install the original FW. It did well (OK for update), but the phone cant finish the instalation after, because it cant mount anything. And returns to recovery mode with many messages about it cant mount directories.
Every thing I try to do, the phones (in recovery mode) returns "cant mount... or error to mount". I as said, I cant clear cache, format /sdcard or other directory or reset to factory data as well (because I think, the system cant mount any directories).
Somebody had this problem or could help me to solve it, please!!!
Tks in advance!

Why on Earth would you mess around with stuff like that? I hope you get help here, and next time just flash it and don't mess around. Perhaps get an external SDCard to solve your "space" problem.

hehehe... I agree totally with you. But, it wasnt brick because there is some mistake in vold.fstab edition (I suppose). My fault is to accept unmout sugestion in the phone message.
But, it has a soft brick now. I got the access thought adb and odin and I'm trying to find a valid pit to rebuild the partition, that I think is corrupted now (I cant mount anything there. I can access it, but not change anything there).
I found a post here that there is a pit file. I cant ask there because I dont have enough privileges to post in development topic. The links are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217777 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2214865
I´d like to know if this pit (the second link has a file attached), is a valid pit. If yes, I could fix the phone!!!

Tks demlasjr. My phone is a i9500 (not the ...905).
I run the adonis.pit on pit magic and it generated a analisys report (attached). Before I put it to run on ODIN, you (or somebody) could give a feedback about the entry memory below:
----------------------------------------------------------
Entry Memory Address: 0x754
----------------------------------------------------------
Binary Type: 0 (UNKNOWN)
Device Type: 2 (MMC)
Identifier: 12
Attribute: 5 (READ / WRITE)
Update Attribute: 1 (FOTA)

Block Count: 16.384
File Offset (Obsolete): 0
File Size (Obsolete): 0
Partition Name: CDMA-RADIO
Flash FileName: modem_cdma.bin
FOTA FileName:
My doubt is about the Partition Name CDMA-RADIO. Is this correct for a i9500 S4? I just really confirm and just to avoid to brick totally my phone, because when I run this pit through ODIN, or fix it or break it (no more chances to revive it)!!!
Tks very much!!!
I've seen that you have the 9500 later, but the forum was down and I couldn't edit my post. On that thread is a discussion about it. Somebody days that may be from 9502. I just seen the art you posted there, try adding this info too, including the pit magic report. Kinda hard to get confirmation and a trustful pit yet.

Dear demlasjr, the forum was down and I forgot to attach the pit magic report when the forum goes up. Im attaching the files now (magic pit report and the adonis.pit that I got in other topic about S4 forum).
If you (or somebody) could help me to analyse it and give us a feedback if this pit is a valid pit for samsung S4 i9500, I will thank a lot!!!
Ps.: I´m trying to solve the problem too, looking for a way to mount the files through adb shell, because I got access my phone with this way and I can see all the files inside there. I just cant to mount any drive yet. Is it possible the problem be only a vold.fstab file corruption or missed? And in this case, is only to solve this file (vold.fstab) to revive my phone?
Or there is a some command in adb shell that could repair the structure files (like scandisk for dos?). I'm newbie on linux and I'm trying to use fsck command, but it returns a error message (fsck: not found). I dont know if I'm putting a correct/complete command to scan and repair the system/drives/files (or if there is a error)...
So, I´m trying to solve it using 3 differents ways of thinking (finding a valid pit, edit/restore vold.fstab and find a correct adb command line to scan and repair eventually corrupt files/directories) and if I solve the problem, I'll be happy to post a tuto here to help some other guys in the future.
Until there, Im working to find a solution.
Tks for help me!!!
nothing worse than this feeling. I remember when I did this to my S2, felt a cold sweat instantly... :crying:

I agree totally with you my friend!!! I put it down in the first day I bought it... Its terrible!!! hehehe I put other phones down too, but how the others were olds phones (more then 6 months in the market), always I found the cfw or pit's to revive...
S4 is a newest phone, so, there is not a consistent or many topics/files/cfw tested yet. I´m looking for 3 full days about this and I found a lot of topics in how to root/unroot the phone, but not yet about pits, commands, etc...
The problem is that phone has a corruption files inside (my first diagnostic) and this is avoid to flash any firmware there until I fix this problem.
I´m trying to keep calm to avoid to worst the situation. I can access the phone yet, so I see a light in the end of tunnel yet!!!
But, the feeling is terrible!!! hahaha
Until Odia or GSMCN came back to you, we can't help you my friend. Only them can confirm the .pit file comparing the one already published with his phone's pit file.
One question....what if you try Emergency recover in KIES. Connect your phone to pc, open KIES, open emergency recover and insert your phone serial number. I read that people messed some times with the partitions and KIES saved their phone. It will not hurt to try, KIES is a putty compared with the repartitioning.

I tried to connect it in KIES, but KIES didnt recognizes the phone. I'll try once again!!! I think I really discovered what the problem is, reported by adb parted command in /dev/block/mmcblk0: "error: Both the primary and backup GPT tables are corrupt. Try making a fresh table, and using Parted´s rescue feature to recover partitions"
So, probably when the phone froze during unmounting sdcard, the partitions were corrupted. I'm really thinking to use the adonis.pit, due I think there is no other manner to solve the problem.
I'm waiting any reply from Odia, to see if him can help me. Otherwise, I'll cross fingers and press "enter", to see what happen!!!
My friend, tks for all!!! After I´ll post the results!!! :fingers-crossed:
Hi there ... yes I've done something wrong and would like to try to fix it without going to Vodafail to get them to berate me.
I was trying to install PhilZ Touch recovery but was having trouble with Odin (1.85, and 3.07 I was trying) and finally gave up and just wanted to make a normal boot but the dreaded firmware message has come up.
I've had a quick search & read and it seems that I need to flash (with Odin) a new stock ROM.
It's getting late here so I'm not going to try anything more without a lot of advice and reading.
So any suggestions please?
I'm in Australia with Vodafone, phone is about two or three months old. i9505.
Cam you get into download mode? Turn it off then press home, power and volume down at the same time, if you can download a stock firmware for your device this can be found at Sam mobile. Then flash it with Odin. Always use the latest version.

Hi,
Stock firmwares are HERE
Try ODIN 3.04 as well
Thanks guys, I'm downloading http://www.hotfile.com/dl/227186782/ebf4c32/I9505XXUBMEA_I9505XSABME4_XSA.zip.html now and will try it when it's finished.
And yes the phone will go into download mode okay.
I also had a think about it last night and I'm not against putting a different ROM into it, any suggestions?
Okay trying to flash that rom with Odin failed.
Where do I go from here please? Like I mentioned, I'm more than happy to try a custom rom.
Hmmmm just tried flashing CWM recovery ..... that failed as well.
Help!!
Know its probably a stupid question but did you root the phone before trying to install Phillz recovery?
If not, try CF-Autoroot, then try Phillz recovery. If you can't get these flashed you may have corrupted your partition table. Here's a link to the PIT file you need - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477 (Make sure you get the right one or you can say bye bye to your toy- I believe you should have an I9505)
Read this, then go and try again....

No problem, just remember though that flashing the pit file is no small thing... If that stuffs up or you have a corrupt pit file you can actually hard brick your device... It really is the final step before giving it back to Samsung to fix...

Hi XDA!!
I am experiencing problems on my Samsung Galaxy S5 Exynos variant (SM-G900H).
It has been soft-bricked. I can clearly say so as it can boot into stock recovery and in download mode, but not in stock 4.4.2.....
It has been bricked due to following the steps mentioned in this thread : s health and xposed
Many videos on youtube ask the viewer to flash stock Samsung Firmware from sammobile.com using odin in download mode.
I have a problem even there.... all versions of odin get stuck on initializing......
Tried on all USB ports.... Kies closed..... basically done everything everybody wrote on XDA.
Any new bright ideas would be appreciated....
Thanks in advance!!:good::good:

You need to do more reading. A lot more.
You clearly haven't tried everything yet. Nor are you are bricked if you can boot into recovery mode. It sounds like you have messed up the system files preventing a normal boot.
Odin is the most common way of recovering. Use Odin 3.09, ensure that you have disabled anti virus, malware amd firewall software and do not have intensive programs running in the background. If necessary use a different computer.
Flash a full stock firmware, ideally the same version as the current firmware on your phone. But in any event, not an older version and matching your current CSC /carrier /baseband. And you ought to make the effort to find the correct PIT file and flash it at the same time. This insures that you don't have any lingering partition corruption. A forum search will explain all about PIT files. And someone probably has a thread with the actual files too.
It will work. In the worst case, you will just need to find a different PC.

You seriously think that I don't mean it when I said that I had tried everything?? All steps you mentioned have been tried before I read your reply... Anyways, going on a different PC helped... apparently Odin is quite moody.... If it decides it is not going to run on a PC, it simply will get stuck on initialization... hence the solution is to find a PC which has run Odin before... It will work on that PC definitely!!! If you can't find one, try running on all PC's in your vicinity (friend's, family etc). There will be one that can run Odin...
And by the way, I clearly said my phone is "soft-bricked"... It means that I can boot only into recovery or download... not android... so my friend, you are quite wrong in saying that my phone isn't bricked...

Yes... but to no avail... anyways... like I said above, flash the stock firmware in download mode again using Odin... If Odin gets stuck, try it on a different PC...
I will not recommend anyone to do data factory reset as
(1) It won't do anything that helps you
(2) If you don't reset your phone, you can still retain your apps and settings after flashing the stock firmware again!!

Hi
I just got a Note 3 N9005 out of the box!
When i turned it on every thing was fine but there was no IMEI(Unkown) but the baseband etc was fine.
When i tried to make a call it said not registered on network; So i flashed a modem then the phone boots up but the problem resists!
Then i flashed some other modems but nothing happens!Then i did a hard reset(Recovery--->Factory reset data & wipe cache partition) & the Phone didn't boot!
It's Always stucked on the Galaxy Note 3 logo restarts(boot loop); When i take off the battery for some time and put it back on it boots to the SAMSUNG logo (there are some parasites on this screen)or some times straight to the recovery and stucks till it restarts and boot loop...
Itried:
1.Flashing Rom via Odin
2.Flashing 4 file Rom via Odin
3.Flashing Rom with PIT file via Odin
Please help me! It's very urgent!
Erm....wipe system, data and cache then try re flashing via odin.
I did that!
But when i do that i should reflash it and then boot loop!

Erm....why was you changing the modem in the first place? In the firmware package you should have 3 .tar files. One for system, one for CSC, one for modem. If you dont, try finding a software package that has all these individual files as opposed to just flashing the pda file. In future, try not to mess about with stuff unless you know how to fix it buddy otherwise you'll just end up in the situation you're in now. If what i suggested above doesnt work....a trip to the service centre might be your only option, if knox has been triggered, they might not repair it. Be prepared for disappointment.

If what i suggested above doesnt work....a trip to the service centre might be your only option, if knox has been triggered, they might not repair it. Be prepared for disappointment.

Reboot and wipe cache and dalvik cache
I tried installing UK firmware on my Galaxy S8+ using Odin, but it got stuck at system.img and now I can only boot the phone into download mode.
I've tried installing the original firmware as well but it also gets stuck at system.img.
Has this happened to anyone else? And is there anything I can do to fix this or am I ****ed?
Thank you very much in advance for any help
Did you use the most recent version of Odin (v3.13.1) ?

Yeah I did.
I've spent half the day trying to fix this, but it actually seems to be hard bricked.
All I wanted was the Pie Beta
If your Odin and files are right it might be the cable, if you're not using the original cable it causes that it happend to me many times. Hope this helps you

Well that is a very dangerous process and should not be done if u dont have any major issue but since u have pretty much death phone as u say it cant hurt to try as a last option.
Google what nand erase is in odin option,it will explain much better then me [emoji14]
Wish you all luck
Edit : try and see if u can find any emergency firmware aka repair firmware for you s8 if it exists and flash with that

I've tried it now, same result as always :/
In download mode it says OEM LOCK: ON, could that be the reason why?

Since u trying to flash samsung official firmware it shouldn't matter. Dont know what to advice as u tried pretty much everything i would do.
Maybe someone with more insights and knowledge what to do could help you but dunno.
Search the web all i can say.
Can u boot into the recovery? Maybe try to flash twrp and format everything from there ?

I think I've gone through every forum post and article on the internet about the issue, can't seem to find a solution.
Can't boot into recovery either, only download mode. I'll keep trying and I'll see if I can send it in for repair.
Thanks for your help, really appreciate it.

Have you fixed it already? If not try flashing everything with odin and also in 'Pit' tab put dreamlte .pit file from inside CSC .md5 file(open with rar)
Double check your files make sure you're not flashing an old fw and your Odin
After that, you probably try to flash using a non original data cable, its not a must but some cables can cause that

I've triple-checked everything. Both Odin and the files are all up to date, and the files are from the same firmware I had on the phone before it got bricked.
I'm going to try using firmware from SamMobile instead of SamDB.org, and will post back with results.
UPDATE:
Flashed firmware from SamMobile, it went through and my phone works again. Can't believe I spent $7 on SamDB for faster download speed and all I got was some files that don't even work properly. Next time I'll be more patient I guess
