Hello.
I got a new Galaxy S4 (I9500) this October, and decided I would go ahead and install custom recovery on it. Me thinking I can get anything to work did not heed the warnings that this model does not support it go ahead and try anyway. After several failed attempts I find some software on the Play store that seems promising. Long story short, I no longer have a functioning recovery partition, and my phone will always try to boot into recovery mode unless I boot in Odin mode.
I have tried to follow several guides, most of which tell me the same thing:
Get Samsung drivers (not Kies)
Download Odin (one version or another)
Get the I9500 Firmware and install using Odin.
My phone is (from the sticker below the battery):
MODEL:GT-I9500
FCC ID: A3LGTI9500
SSN:-I9500GSMH
It is also factory unlocked.
I did notice however that the text in the top left when in Odin mode says it is a SGH-I337
The full text:
ODIN MODE

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

I have tried flashing both 4.4.2 (as it was delivered with) and 5.0.1, but I get the same error:
<ID:0/005> Odin engine v(ID:3.1100)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..

The error that is displayed on the phone is:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi
I have I9505XXUAMDM firmware installed and tried to install I9505XXUAME2_I9505OXXAMDB_NEE.
When device is in download mode and I'll start installing new firmware with odin, it stops immediately and shows this in odin (both 1.85 and 3.07):
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..
<ID:0/005> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/005> system.img
<ID:0/005> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/005> FAIL!
<OSM> All threads completed (succeed 0 / failed 1)
and this in device:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9505
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
CSB-OEM_CONFIG_LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
START [224, 1440]
Unsupport dev_type
Tried also differen usb port. Using original cable. After that I'm able to boot back to old firmware. Any idea what's going on?
Hi,
I used Odin 3.04 to root my phone.
All went smoothly and without a hitch.
Sent telepathically from my S4
Thanks, got it working with 3.04.

A few months ago, I got a (Verizon) Samsung Galaxy S4 (it was "free" with contract). I successfully rooted it not long after.
Just a couple weeks ago, an update was released through the verizon network, so blindly I decided to use the update, only to find out afterwards that it removed my root. I tried the same method I used before to root it, only to find people saying that the newest OTA (Over The Air) update made rooting impossible.
After a fair amount of searching, I found a method which supposedly would work (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487142). I used the method, however it did not work, and my phone was stuck in download mode.
After previous reading, I learned that the only way to manually exit download mode was to take out the battery. Though the root attempt had failed, it was obvious that something had occurred, so I was hesitant to use the brute force method of exiting download mode. However, without knowing an alternative, I removed the battery.
Now, whenever I try to turn on my phone, I merely get the message "Firmware update has encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
If it helps, the text displayed in the upper corner with this message is:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I545
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

I have tried firmware upgrade and initialization in Kies3, but an error message is shown saying "SCH-I545 does not support initialization", When I tried Kies2, it just told me that the device was not responding.
I am still able to enter download mode.
When I try to flash an os using odin, I get these results:

After some time spent on really deep and sophisticated analysis of your problem, I think that you will have a very good option of solving your problems described here
I don't have the Verizon version but maybe try reflashing stock file in odin

There isn't solution for:

SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 6 , Binary : 5
You can get it to repair to service center.
Long story short, I've been trying to get my phone back to stock unrooted rom from TriForce rom and each time i do it, it will not install and fail. I've tried triangle away but that didn't do anything either.
Can anyone help me get back to stock rom?
I made a post about this so long ago I can't find it (thank you work for keeping me busy but still not rich)

If youre on 4.3, Flash 4.3 or more...
If youre on 4.4.2, FLASH ONLY 4.4.2, not even 4.3...
Do not try flashing anything lower, a downgrade is not possible anyhow....
Press Thanks if I helped

Hi ,
Also use Odin 3.09....
Hey ya'll, this past Saturday my Note 4 started a boot loop while using Baconreader. I was using stock ROM, unrooted, T-Mobile. I first deleted the cache partition, then did a factory reset, but neither worked.
I tried flashing with Odin v3.09, using ROMS from SamMobile:
4.4.4 ANK4
5.0.1 COD6
5.0.1 COG2
Each time I would get
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/003> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/003> aboot.mbn
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003> sbl1.mbn
<ID:0/003> rpm.mbn
<ID:0/003> FAIL! (Auth)
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
And on the phone in download mode was:
Odin Mode (High Speed)
Product Name: SM-N910T
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Reactivation Lock: Off
Knox Warranty Void: 0x0
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable (CSB)
AP Swerv: S1, T1, R1, A2, P1
Secure Download: Enable
UDC Start
SW Rev Check Fail : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1
[1]eMMC write fail: ABOOT
I then used the latest ROM from SamMobile, 6.0.1 EPE3, and everything worked. Odin flashed it and the installation was good. But as soon as it finished and booted for the first time the boot loop started again. I tried using KIES to do a emergency firmware restore but it would not pick up my Note 4 (Using a Samsung USB Cord) I tried it with and without Samsung USB Drivers installed. I'm starting to think it may be a hardware problem, honestly though I have no idea. I would like to get some other opinions before I send off for a new one. (No warranty over a year old) Thanks in advance, and sorry if the formatting is long, I figured it would be easier to read if everything was spaced out. Thanks in advance.
Hello.
Today i tried to flash the stock firmware I9505XXUHPK2 BTU again because i was trying out some custom rom found on xda but decided to get back to stock.
After wiping my current os by TWRP i went to download mode and flash the firmware but failed.It says
<ID:0/007> Added!!
<ID:0/007> Odin engine v(ID:3.1100)..
<ID:0/007> File analysis..
<ID:0/007> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/007> Initialzation..
<ID:0/007> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/007> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/007> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
<ID:0/007> Removed!!
Now my custom recovery TWRP is gone and it shows
odin mode
product name: gt-i9505
current binary: Custom
system status: Custom
knox kernel lock: 0x0
knox warranty viod: 0x1
csb-config-lsb: 0x30

please help.TIA
Flash again without the pit file. A pit file is needed if Odin can't read the memory chip's partition table.
Also try using different usb ports and usb cables.
