[Q] Help, wont boot after bad flash

Hi, yesterday i installed TWRP on my I9505 and I also installed cm 10.1 and it work well, I used it all day today. When i got home i saw that there was a new version of cm so i wanted to update. When i flashed it in twrp i got some error messages, i think it said it couldnt mount /system, I was stupid enough to not write it down. I had to pull the battery to restart and when i rebooted i got the "Firmware upgrade en****ered an issue" message with the triangle.
After this I tried to change recovery with odin to try and flash again but that didnt work and i cant get in to a recovery now. I can get the phone to download mode and odin can see that i plug in the phone. I tried to flash the stock recovery but I get the failed message in Odin. I have also tride to do a reset in Kies but that too failed.
Is there something i can do to save my new phone or did I mess it up permanetly? I was clinging to the hope that if i can get to download mode it can be saved but i dont know.
Any help is greatly appriciated

Ok i downloaded the pit file and started downloading fw from samfirmware, it will take a while it looks like. So just to confirm. First i try to flash the FW in PDA in ODIN and if that works it dont need to flash the pit file? If it dosent work i flash the pit file in pit in odin and the the fw?
Thank you very much for helping me.

yes. (unzip to get the .pit). dont flash pit file alone! but with firmware.
at the first time, when you flash only firmware in pda, dont mark re-partition

The download isnt finished yet, its very slow. I will try just the fw first and let you know. If that dosent work ill try it with the pit file.

if the phone enter in bootloop after flashing, wipe data and cache from recovery and reboot
I must go offline now. please report back with the result :good:

Is there something else I can try? Is it possible that this could be something wrong with the hardware?

Try to change usb port
Use original cable
Disable kies from task manager
Be sure that you downloaded fw for i9505 and it is not corrupted

[Q] 4.4 Update via Odin Fail, Phone Bricked

I tried to install the 4.4.2 N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_N9005XXUENA2 update on my Note 3 via odin 3.09.
Got an ext4 update failed error.
After this, the phone's bricked and is stuck on the Kies Recovery Screen. I tried to go into recovery mode in Kies, but it says this model does not have initialization.
I tried installing a 4.3 N9005XXUDMK3_N9005TNLDMK1_N9005XXUDMK2, but again failed. Download mode shows SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] Fused 3 > Binary 2
Can someone please guide me to unbrick my phone?
I don't know what ROM I was on initially. It was the stock ROM that came with the phone.
I dont have CWM and TWRM installed.

This is not a brick at all. Just add a .pit file and restart the upgrade via Odin again.
You should be fine.

Thank you for that advice. How do I add a .pit file, and would you happen to have a link where I can download it from?

I tried a variety of N9005 .pits and each time, it shows PIT FAIL: TOTAL SECTORS (30777344) :crying:

(Read OP) . Try flashing the polish firmware again with odin v1.85 and try using different usb ports. Close most of your running applications such as firefox skype etc that can interrupt the process and flash official firmware.

You won't be able to downgrade back to 4.3 - Use the PDA slot on ODIN and try flashing again.

Solution
I also have Hong Kong N9005 32GB with N9005XXUBMI5 PDA, tried to flash 4.4.2 with Odin and stuck at "invalid ext4 image", was't able to flash anything after it.
But after 16 hours I finally found a solution:
1. Get leaked Polish ROM (that one with 4 files, do not use the official - it has one file rom)
2. Extract archive
3. Extract "CSC_OXX_N9005OXXENA5_327209_REV03_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar" and get your pitfile - HLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit
4. Flash your phone with this pitfile and other 4 files from archive (I used Odin 3.09) with repartitioning enabled.
After this procedure I have fully working android 4.4 :victory:

have you tried a different cable? I know it sounds rather sophomorish, but its a very common cause of the computer not being able to flash via Odin. Or can you get to another computer to try it there?

that is odd indeed. I have 4 computers that all recognize all of my samsung phones. Are you getting the unrecognized device message in the area down by the clock?

My other computer detects it, okay, but I still cant flash any other stock firmware by odin AND BEFORE I COULD
---------------------------------------
EVERYTHING SOLVED, SAME PROBLEM? CONTACT ME

Here is HOW I SOLVED IT:
This error happens when you before have updated from "U1" to "U2" and then you try to flash a firmware with "U1" (UX appears in the firmware "name")
So, the simple solution is to flash the stock firmware with the same "UX" that you had before your device gor bricked.
In my case, testing KingRaheel's ROMS I flashed an Indian firmware (...U2APK6...) at this moment I didn't know I ****ed up. But don't worry, I simply had updated the "U" and how I didn't know it, I tried to flash lots and lots of firmwares with "U1" without knowing what was happening. After long nights, I tried to flash my last firmware from SPAIN (PHE) with "U2" and it worked.
I hope I helped you. I used SM-J510FN (J5 2016)
If you have another device, try the same but with your current model, any questions, ask by twitter/dm

First thing - can you get back into Download mode?
If so take out battery and leave things for a while. Then when you put battery back in, hold down the DL mode keys and enter DL. Then connect phone to computer and in Odin, flash your Stock v5
You could also DL the Odin-flashable version of CWM or TWRP and flash that before you restart. (untick the Reboot option in Odin BEFORE you flash the firmware)

What phone do you have?
Do you know which region it is from?
I think that firmware is Austria and some of the Asian phones seem to have different partitions.
Also have you tried re-downloading the file - sometimes zips get corrupted.

There is No PIT Partition

Hey!
I kinda screwed up, horribly.
I initially had a Verizon S7 Edge, but I was on T-Mobile service so I decided to follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...de-flashing-sm-935u-firmware-verizon-t3415145 and it worked! Then I thought, maybe if I flash the T-Mobile firmware, it would work even better, and it did! Then recently I decided that I wanted to go back to unlocked firmware, so I tried flashing it again. Thats when everything went to ****. It failed, and said something about "sw rev check fail fused 3 binary 2", and so I tried again and it failed. I rebooted thinking that maybe the old os would be intact but it booted to recovery mode saying that it couldn't mount any of the partitions. So I tried to reflash the T-Mobile firmware again and now its giving an error about how there is no PIT partition. From googling online, I think I need to flash a .pit file or something. I could only find PIT files for the international unlocked s7 edge. Does anyone have the PIT files for the AT&T/Verizon/Unlocked S7 Edge (preferred, because I can then flash the U firmware), or even the T-Mobile PIT file?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
EDIT: I rebooted the device and it took me to recovery and complained about not being able to mount /cache and /system. I fixed the /cache issue by using the "wipe cache partition" option, but now it is saying "dm-verity verification failed. E: failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)"

I tried flashing a PIT/ROM combo for tmobile that I found online but now im getting this error:

Thank you, but I just figured out how to solve the issue. I found the latest firmware from TMOBILE and flashed that. Apparently I had updated my phone so the bootloader was version 3 instead of version 2 or something and you can downgrade. Im not sure if thats the right explanation, but my phone works now, so thats good.
Thank you.

Download G935 U 4files firmware (qualcomm edition, no verison-tmobile-sprint-att bloatware).
My g935a phone is g935u firmware, and work perfectly.

I have already tried that and failed. I think the TMOBILE bootloader is more updated or something and so you cant flash to a previous version of the bootloader. IDK, maybe someone can explain it better?

Nahtnam, do you solve that problem, just now I have exactly the same

The issue was that I was I was on bootloader version 4, and I tried to flash a firmware with bootloader version 3. I ended up finding the firmware with bootloader version 4 and flashed that.
