Im sure you all have heard this one before. But I think mine may be alittle different. Im getting the error, System software not authorized etc. I bought it off of someone. I have odin 3.07 and it doesnt show the COM ports. I got USB drivers for samsung cellphones. I also got the stock ROM downloaded. I guess the question is, is there a way to flash this back to stock from the SD Card? I noticed this. I unplug the USB cable. The phone turns off. It does not come on unless the USB cable is hooked up. So I dont know if this means anything different. This phone has never been hooked up to this computer. It shows a Unknown Device in my device manager. Its hardware ID tag is USB\UNKNOWN. It is showing the SECURE FAIL: KERNAL. Can someone point me in the corrrect direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm guessing you when you bought it the phone booted is this correct?
If yes, what firmware is on it?
What have you done that no longer allows the phone the boot (did you flash something with Odin)?
The more info the better....

So you bought the phone and it has never booted for you?
If you have MF3 bootloader on there and someone tried to install a custom recovery it could be soft bricked.
Not sure what to suggest if you don't know what occurred to cause the phone to only go into download mode?
You could take it to best buy with a samsung experience center and have them reflash it?
The only problem with this is if you don't have MF3 bootloader, best buy will flash it and upgrade it.....
Try to Odin MDL on it first

When you mean MDL. thats the stock rom correct? I do have that. When I look at Odin, it doesnt show anything on the COM part at the top left. Like its hooked up to a com port.
What I meant by the Downloading ...... (with the driod logo guy) Im saying I can get it to do that. Im at the point where I cant get the S4 to be reconized by ODIN. I have the stock rom, odin 3.07 files. I have tried to install the samsung usb drivers....
Still no reply on how to fix this? I have no clue on what to do here. I dont know what firmware etc is on it. I bought it this way. I just want to flash it back to factory, its the att version. It only stays on when the usb is hooked up. I can get it to go into download mode. But on the computer, it doesnt show a usb device being found. I can start odin up, but nothing appears on the COM to show what com port is available. Is there anything I can do here off of a SDCard? I also need to mention that I can not hold down vol up and power and home button to get it to go into recovery mode. It flashes it fast and goes to the yellow triangle.
Anyone please.....
You need to get Odin to recognize it. Try different usb cables. Use the usb ports on the back of the computer. Try a different computer. Without knowing the firmware you're on odin may not work, but it should still recognize your device. If you're on mdl firmware Odin will work. If you're on mf3 then you're sol.
Have you tried to get into the recovery and not just the download mode?
Volume up + Home + Power - If you can get into a recovery try to do a factory reset.
If you cant get into the recovery than you'll need Odin. Sometimes (rarely) kies well affect Odin. If you have kies uninstall it and than run odin.
- Open Odin without your phone connected.
- Power on your device, go into download (Odin) mode. Volume down + home + power.
- Now plug device into your computer.
- Odin should read it, unless its MF3 firmwire.
If your phone is MF3, you may need a Samsung bestbuy rep to reflash the mf3 firmwire.

I have tried the power, vol up and home. It flashes the recovery, then goes back to the triangle. Odin, doesnt show a COM port that the phone is connected when i have it in download mode.
Also....i do appreciate you all for helping me figure this out.
Hi,
after the lollipop update the phone worked for a few days, then got in a boot loop.
recovery booting
recovery is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit recovery
what i already have done:
flashing several roms, no succes
no way to get in recovery mode with the buttons, flashing cwm and twrp without succes
i dont know exactly wich rom i need because i dont know the csc, the phone comes from groupon, i just know that if i have to send it to repair, i have to send it to spain.
i'm from belgium and the phone worked good before the update.
what can i do more to get it back to work?
thnx
When flashing, are you doing a factory reset before each flash attempt? Are you flashing a GApps after the ROM?

no, it is not possible doing factory reset, because i cant turn the phone on and cant get in to recovery.
i do not flash GApps after.
You said you're not able to enter recovery. Are you able to enter download mode by pressing and holding volume down, home, and power? If you are able to do so, tell us your carrier, as you're already mentioned what country you're in as well as the phone model.

download mode is no problem, my carrier is telenet.
Belgium doesn't have its own CSC codes, so use the unbranded German firmware found here (yes it will work) to restore your S4 to stock. After that, run with the stock ROM for a little while to make sure everything is fine, then root and install a custom ROM.

i flashed the german ffirmware without results
Were you able to get into the stock recovery after flashing the ROM?
no way to get in recovery. flashing the rom gives a pass, butt no recovery.
Are you using the original cable and not using a USB hub? If you are using a hub, disconnect from the hub and plug into an available USB port. If not using a hub, change ports and try again. Flashing a ROM should have cured all ills.

i'm using the cable from my S3 and no USB hub, directly into the USB port, flash result is pass and reset but no way to get in that recovery or no normal startup.
And did you change ports as I recommended?
If you can't get it working after changing ports and trying to install, look for the I9505 PIT file and use it with the ROM. The PIT file will wipe the internal storage and ensure it's configured the way Samsung wants it. If you still get no results after this, you'll have to take the phone to the repair center.
oké, that's what i thought, thanks for your help.
When we say don't use a usb hub, we really want you to avoid usb expansion cards also. You should be going directly into a usb port of the motherboard. Some people recommend disconnecting other usb devices such as external drives and hubs. My gs4 has touch screen issues when I plug it into a usb port that isn't a motherboard port.
Hi!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505, which is not booting anymore after I tried to change the sim card tray. It gets stuck on the Samsung logo at boot. Recovery won't boot either. (says recovery booting but does not boot) I can only get it to download mode. I tried reflashing recovery with heimdall. Is there any way to recover data or fix the phone? I know it could be a hardware fault that's practically impossible to fix. Strange symptoms for a hardware fault though. Just looking for any ideas. It would be nice to at least dump data from it or get recovery booting.
Thank you for your help!
Try a different bootloader.
Or flash another rom with Odin.

Where can I find a bootloader to install? I tried googling a bit but couldn't find a clear answer. Do the modem files also have the bootloader, should I flash a new modem file?
Modem and bootloader are different files.
You can find modems and bootloaders this thread. You may have to scroll through the comments to find what you're looking for.

Tried flashing a new bootloader. Now I get a message that "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" It still does not boot into TWRP recovery. I tried flashing another version of TWRP, but no difference.
Try this:
Open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time, flash TWRP, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, wait 5 seconds, replace battery, use button combination to boot into recovery. When the phone starts to boot, release the power button but keep holding the volume up and home.

Which version of odin would you suggest me to use? I tried with 1.85 and that didn't help. I'm starting to think that this might be a hardware fault, perhaps I broke something when tearing off the old sim card tray. Or the new part was faulty and somehow fried my phone. I have a backup from about a month ago. It was stupid not to take a backup before attempting to replace the sim card tray, but I tought it wouldn't be so dangerous.
Its not hardware problem. Hoy have a bootloop and Thats software problem. If you had stock recovery then the cause of bootloop also broken your recovery mode.
You will have to flash a full stock rom (Sam mobile web has them) or search here on xda.
A full stock rom has updated bootloader and módem, also stock recovery built in.

That also means losing all my data if I can't boot recovery beforehand. But perhaps I have to try that.
If you had usb debugging enabled you might be able to pull the data from the phone.
Odin 1.85 seems really old. I mean really old. You should use Odin 3.x. I had success with Odin 3.09 in the past.

Would it be enough if I flashed just stock recovery+modem+bootloader or something like that? I had usb debugging enabled, but since I cant get the system to boot at all it's of no use.
Can I use adb in stock recovery? I think the stock rom won't boot with my current data still on the device. I had cyanogenmod 12.1 installed. Haven't had stock rom in ages.

I prefer Odin 3.07 for all of my flashing needs. I have used it on a note 2, note 3, s4, s3, and s2.
If the flash fails, try different USB cables and different USB ports.
Hello,
I was trying to flash Twrp recovery in my phone using flashify. It said flash successfully and i rebooted. It starting bootlooping. I manually tried by pressing Volume up + Home+Power keys it was still doing bootloop. I tried to goto download mode by pressing Volume Down+ Home+Power keys it still kept bootlooping even USB jig didn't work. I need your valued suggestion about what to do next.
Thanks in Advance.

Just flash your firmware from Odin using a PC, I had a similar problem in my tablet, it didn't had download mode either and that worked, try it.
When I connect it to Pc it keeps bootlooping and pc gives sound of connecting then disconnecting of hardware.

Turn off your device, keep your finger in the button until the device is off or pull off the battery, connect it to the PC and flash your firmware through Odin, at that moment I used the 3.70 i think but you can use the latest version it's fine, that should install download mode and the whole firmware if that doesn't work I'm afraid I don't know how else I can help, that's what I did and it worked

You are right I did it the same way and it worked for me too. I actually was thinking the phone was quite dead bur or wasn't, I just flashed the recovery firmware 4.4.4 Russian and if you ask me food the step by step procedure it was just like this:
1. I started the Odin 3.07 and connected my device to see is it was detected or not, my surprise the Odin catch it, and shown added and the port number was 18.
2. I just pulled out the USB cable from my laptop and loaded the BL file only to just flash the bootloader file and see what would happen, I was trying it bcz I was totally disappointed with the device i.e. Grand Prime 530H Duos. I also noticed that my device was not stable even with that black screen it used to restart after almost five minutes in that case. And I knew that in 5 minute I will just be able to flash BL file. The BL file was loaded on the Odin now and I inserted the USB cable again while keeping the vol down button pressed to my laptop when the Odin again found and connected with my device, I didnot take any more time to flash BL file.
3. As soon as i had not flashed all the SW therefore, my device didn't boot properly, and I thought it didn't work but when my device was connected to the computer I just listened the startup tone of the Android 4.4.4. From that moment I knew my device was not dead now so i had to select all four files from the recovery firmware of 4.4.4 and connect the device to odin even there was no sign of download mode, as soon i clicked the Start button i saw many things in the Odin which were good enough to see. after the firmware flashed the device got started.

Is your USB cable original is it working on other devices? And are you using a USB 2.0 port, that is very much necessary, for Odin and some other hardware/software environment applications. And you also must have Samsung USB drivers installed in your PC, you can also try all this process on some other PCs

Hello!
Yes, that USB works with other phones. And even not being the original one, it was working to transfer files before this issue...
It is a USB 2.0 port, and even when I go to "Device Manage" on Windows, it doesn't show any port with an unknown device or something like that...
Thanks!

I don't have your model of phone, I've got SM-S820L. Have you tried booting into ODIN mode?
If you haven't tried that, I would do so and try using ODIN to flash a firmware update. You will need Samsung Drivers, a new release of ODIN3, and Kies or Kies3.
There are some good guides on this site that can push you along your way to full recovery of your phone.:good:
