Need help URGENTLY!

k well let's start by letting everyone know, I have searched EVERYWHERE! for a fix and i CANNOT find one. This is really fustrating me. I am a noob to these forums but i do have little knowledge when it comes to this kind of stuff.
I recently rooted my Samsung S4 GT-i9505 and i wanted to unroot it back to it's original state, In the process of unrooting i don't know what i have done wrong but i get stuck on a screen "Firmware upgrade encountered.. blah blah, NOW i have tried all means to try and fix this by using Odin WITH the original firmware from which i downloaded from the samsung drivers website. Everytime i try too flash it, It always FAILS. There is a type of firmware i can use "I9505XXUAMDE_I9505TELAMD8_I9505DVUAMD8_HOME.tar.m d5", But this particular one installs SU, Which i don't want, It also causes several features on my phone to stop working. Such a the clock and i can't even use my wifi.. I have tried several times, Over and over to try and fix it through Odin, But it will not budge, I can load the phone to download mode, But can't get past that. I am now stuck on the upgrade issue screen and i am literally stuck on things to do.. Any help will be appreciated as i am in desperate need to have my phone back too working order! I have tried Kies, Installing it uninstalling it, Disabling my firewall.. EVERYTHING.. I am trying to install the original firmware "I9505XXUBMG4_I9505XSABMG1_I9505DVUBMG1_HOME.tar.m d5" But Odin will not let me!!
Thankyou in advance to anyone that can help.

Hi,
Have you tried a firmware upgrade and initialisation with Samsung Kies?
Insert your phone model (GT-I9505)
Pull out your battery and you see on the battery holding place a S/N code, fill that in.
Reboot in Download Mode and follow the steps.
It takes about 30 - 60min. for the reset.
Hope i helped you.
EDIT: YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING ON YOUR PHONE.

Thankyou for your input, I appreciate every little bit of help, Yes i have tried that option, But it fails at around 70%, I even tried reinstalling Kies itself, And the drivers aswell. All with no success.

When Samsung Kies fails, do you get a error message why it has stopped on 70%?

The error comes up with something like "Firmware upgrade failure" Can't remember off the top of my head.

You have new boot loader so you can't flash those older firmwares. If you download the MJ5 firmware from Sammobile it will flash with Odin and you'll be good to go

It worked! Thankyou so much for your help, I highly appreciate it. My phone is now back to stock, And everything functioning!

[Q] return to stock rom failed, other roms failed

So long story short I'm trying to return to stock rom after using triforce, it was fun but I can't get the few "bloatwear" I actually use to install or work. (Exp.Sbeam, Snote) so each time ether it be odin, twrp, Phillis I get a message saying failed to install. On start up I get a message about know my kernel isn't correct and on odin download I have write protection enabled along with eMMc enabled. I've tried triangle away but it only reset my counter. And if I try any other rom it fails. Is there hope for me? And will you guild me out of this rutt?

Could you show us the Odin error you get?

Based on your screen shot, I'm going to assume that you're not trying to Odin NAE. Download the NAE tar and you should be good to go.

Another bootloop issue

Apologies for the repost, found this to be a better place to pose the plea for assistance

Hello all. . .
Longtime reader (learner), first time poster. Trying to bring son's GS5 back to life -- it's stuck in boot loop ("Samsung GALAXY S5" splash screen appears, reboots). Unknown cause, not due to any flashes, ROMs, ROOT, etc
All attempts to enter recovery mode (Vol up + PWR + Home) initially successful (get blue text: RECOVERY BOOTING. . . .) then display goes black, repeats. -- never see Recovery screen. Yes, I've cycled power, battery out, wait, etc, etc.

Cannot determine build number and original box long gone. I've downloaded a couple firmware zips from sammobile (Sprint CDMA) using files nearest to best guess for purchase date. Is it necessary to match the exact files which originally came installed or should later firmware releases also normally load? In other words, is the fail due to trying a wrong firmware revision?
Any other info I need to include here? Thanx in advance!

Hello again:
Zero replies, did I omit important information in my first request -- or am I just rehashing previous inquiries about boot loop problems? (I have read through all posts relating to boot loops but found no answers that solved the to write to Nand failures). Forgive me if it's here and I simply didn't recognize it. . .
So (succinctly) why might Odin fail to write when attempting to reload the original firmware: . . . NAND Write Start!! . . . FAIL! (Auth) . . .Complete(Write) operation failed. . . .All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
What might I be doing wrong, or what might I try instead?

Same thing with me.. patience gets you through it..
The same thing happened to me, same phone and same contract carrier (Sprint).
I bought my phone from a third party who apparently restores it to near-mint condition. The OS it had was one of the first releases of 6.0 /marshmallow. I tried downgradingit back to 5 / lollipop because i heard that call recording was still enabled with that OS.
I used Odin versions 3.7 thru 3.10 i believe and flashed every version of 5 that was listed on sam mobile and samsung 's site and all of them either failed to initiate- citing the same readings and failure reasons in odin that you mentioned - or they "succeeded" and resulted in boot loops.
I also failed to flash any of the earlier ROM versions of android 6 than the one my SM-G900P phone came with.
Finally, i succeeded in flashing 2 types of ROMS, the version of 6 my phone started with, then subsequently the most recent version released earlier in march 2017 (this month).
Conclusion: i believe the order that you flash these roms for our model phone with our carrier matters. Flash your phone with ROM images from the version that it came with, and continue sequentially and chronologically until your boot screen finally shows something other than that lovely little sprint logo
Good luck with your son's phone, and please let us k ow how it goes..... as i think this may be a recurring theme we may see more often in the future. I imagine the problem lies with either odin, samsung sm-g900p, or the sprint/cdma ROMa we're dealt.

Have you tried samsung kies yet? Odin is for rooting your phone. Samsung kies will put updated firmware in your phone. I have used it several times in the past on a sam phone. It will work. Its from samsung company.

SM-T580 Soft Bricked - Odin Wont Flash Stock Firmware

I have the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 SM-t580. It was on 8.0 stock prior to this. I attempted to flash TWRP a couple of ways to no avail. I did a factory reset and attempted another method, but I believe I forgot to turn on OEM Unlock after the reset. Odin now will flash a TWRP successfully, but trying to boot into recovery either loops or presents me with glitchy horizontal lines. Trying to flash the 7.0 stock firmware (XAR) from Sammobile results in failure (maybe because it has an older bootloader?). I've tried just the AP, AP and BL, and AP, BL, and CSC. They all fail. There doesnt appear to be any working OS on the device at this point. The only thing I can access is download mode.
After trying the flash stock firmware I get this message in odin:

Took a lot of figuring out. But My bootloader would only accept the latest version of the stock firmware (Oreo) and I had to dig to find a working TWRP. If anyone has any questions I gothca.

I was having the same issue and bricked/unbricked my tablet a few times before figuring out it will only take the latest firmware. Which version of TWRP worked?
I'm trying to downgrade as the last update caused an "Authentication Error" every time I tried to connect to wifi.

Did you find a working TWRP for Oreo? Can you post the link or say the versión of TWRP?
I used the twrp-3.2.3-0-gtaxlwifi.img.tar (lastest by now) but only had the red vertical lines in recovery mode

Same problem and I solved it flashing the content of this file CF-Auto-Root-gtaxlwifi-gtaxlwifixx-smt580.zip
Extrated from this documentation: w ww.techmoviles.com/rootear-galaxy-tab-a-sm-t580-sm-t585-con-cf-auto-root/ (fix the blank between the w)
This flash don't load a working TWRP in oreo, (because it is for nougat), but it fixes the recovery on oreo restoring the Android recovery.
I hope it helps you

OK. Got given a TAB 10.1 a few weeks back and decided to boot up Odin for the first time since my Note3. Hated the Samsung stock ROM so went through the same journey of trying to install TWRP over Android 8 only to find it soft bricks the tab. EVENTUALLY realised I could only recover with Android 8 which i have.
SO question is can I install TWRP over Android 8 or do i have to downgrade. If yes to a downgrade is it just a case of grabbing Android 7 off Sammobile?
Thanks in advance.

Use this TWRP. It should work: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78148216&postcount=169

There was a newer one on the same day though - it's what I'm using and it works fine
Then again my tablet was on stock Nougat - so no idea if @xballumx can use it on Oreo ... but I don't see why not since it still works on an Oreo custom rom :fingers-crossed:

Hey bro
you are using the wrong flash file your phone Binary is 4
check that the flash file name contains U4

Pretty sure that over a year and a half later they've sorted their issues ... or threw the device under a moving truck already :laugh:

Majorly Messed Up Rooting, Can't Flash Stock Firmware

I'll try to give as many details as I can.
Recently I did a root, which worked perfectly fine. Didn't know what I was doing, so I looked around and downloaded Xposed and did all the steps to get it on my phone. After opening it, it asked to download additional firmware or updates or something. I agreed, and the system rebooted once it downloaded what it needed to. Then, when it rebooted, it told me that it was unable to authorize or verify, or something. Essentially it wouldn't let me back into my phone and I didn't know what to do. So I downloaded the most current firmware for my model from Updato, but it didn't seem to work. I tried doing just the AP, then doing the BL-AP-CP-CSC, tried both Home and non home versions as well. After that, if I'm not in download mode, it tries to update software, and then runs a quick string, and then repeats, which I assume is just a textbook case of boot looping.

Can't post links, but on Updato, under SM-G935U, the first one with 8.0.0 is the one I used.
I tried some suggestions I found looking around, like changing out the USB cable, but ultimately it didn't help and it was fine to use to flash the original root in the first place, and I have Samsung drivers installed.
I would really appreciate some insight. Appreciate it.

sounds like you took an OTA while rooted.
I think you're ODIN flash might be failing because you're OTA might've updated your bootloader.
You need to determine the build you're on from recovery if you can get there and make sure you're flashing a build with the same (preferably) or greater (bad if you want to go back) bootloader. The 5th digit from the right is the bootloader version.

First of all - are you sure the phone got rooted in the 1st place? As your KNOX seems still 0x0 you probably did not modify too much...
Anyway - something to try is to flash the stock with additional PIT file included which rewrites the partitioning from scratch. Try that one
