[Q] Hard to unbrick

Hey guys...
I need a little help from professionnals...I wanted to try a Cyanogen rom, the 10.1.3, a stable one, on my S4. So I downloaded it, I rooted my phone with cf-autoroot with Odin, intalled CWM Recovery. Then I did all the wipes and flashed the cyanogenmod.
Guess what, it didn't work The flash worked well but next infinite bootloop on the boot animation of cyanogen...So I tryied to go back to recovery, mount USB and flash an another rom of cyanogen. And the results was worse, the flash did'nt work at all, if I remember "failed to mount /system" or something similar. And when I tried to restard the phone, nothing happened.
So I wanted to go back to the stock rom to repair this mess. => Download mode then under PDA, my tar.md5 files. Didn't work. I also tried with a PIT file, same result.
I changed my usb cable, the version of Odin, the usb port.
Here's what Odin give :

I don't know what to do, I tried a lot of things beside all of this. Any ideas ?

Try install STOCK ROM with older ODIN (click here), no the newest version

What stock rom are you trying to flash?

Thanks, but no change...

if you have the secured bootloader (knox warranty void 0x0 in download mode) that means you can not flash old firmware such as MGA. you can flash firmwares MH?, MI? or MJ?.

I9505XXUBMGA = 4.2.2.
Thats probably why the flashing fails.

Only changing usb port and reinstalling solved it?
I have the same issue with ODIN3 3.07.

Unfortunately no. Apparently the tar.md5 file I was trying to flash was the problem. The developer released a newer version of it which was flashed okay. Thanks a lot anyway!

Xmit Write fail with ODIN

Hey guys,
I've been having some issues with an international rom on my W8 and i decided to go back to stock with odin. As i was flashing i realized that everytime i would reboot, even after a factory reset, or data/system/cache wipe, all my file and folders were not erased. So i booted into TWRP and wiped internal SD and all the other stuff, then flashed back stock rom with odin and now i keep getting this error:

Basically i start flash process and about 30 seconds in i hear the phone disconnect and i get the fail. I know it's not a bad firmware download as i've lready flahsed it 5 times today, i know it's not cable, or USB port because until i wiped internal SD i did not have any issues. Now, i can still access download mode, but i cannot access recovery because it tells me "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again." When i connect it to kies, it simply says phone not supported and doesnt show up under emergency recovery.
Anybody know how to get me out of this mess??

weird, my note 4 cable was causing the issue. I took my old S2 cable and it worked. Thanks anyways

I'll try to help, not that good myself though. What happens when you try to go into recovery?

I'm having the same problem. Only this phone was dropped by my friend on its top left corner and hasn't booted since then.
I successfully flashed the stock NAE tar through Odin last night but it still won't boot. I also cannot boot into recovery. It simply vibrates but nothing shows up on the screen at all. I can only boot into download mode intermittently.
Can't figure out why it would flash but not boot.

I didn't either, I completely wiped it.
What i think happened with me is that odin did put the stock firmware on even when it said it failed after like 5 mins. Then the allsamsungrecovery fixed the rest to let it boot up.
The only issue could be that your odin doesn't seem to have got quite as far as mine did. Can you only enter download mode and that's it?

i can enter download mod
but when i select the frimeware stock
The odin data appear log failed
and on the phone appeared : “SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2 BINARY 1”.

I'm really sorry, I don't think I'll be able to help any further. My knowledge is just from problem solving the few cases I've had to solve my self. Hopefully someone else can help you here.

Just Flash Lollipop 5.1.1 via odin which have coj5 or upgrade bootloader
you can't downgrade from coj5 bootloader you flash coh4 rom therefore you get error
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-note-4-mod-t3244665

Best Regards,

How do I fix my bricked Galaxy Note 4?

Model: SM-N910W8
So my device is bricked and I can enter Download Mode, but I can't enter Recovery Mode.
When I try to flash stock ROM, it fails and says there is no PIT partition.
So I get the PIT file for my device, and I try to flash stock ROM with the PIT and ODIN gets to system write, but then proceeds to fail there.
I've tried flashing 4.4.4 and 6.0.1.
I've also tried doing NAND erase and EFS clear.
I actually have a TWRP backup on my computer, so I tried flashing TWRP recovery onto my phone, however that also fails.
I am using the original Samsung USB cable.
Please help, I can't afford to toss this phone away...
