You tried root made for N9007 ??? Maybe a curropt dowload .try flashing again.
Btw to get back your device to work flash your official firmware through odin.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
yep, it was a direct download from chainfire... IDK, hope the reflash will work... I am going to hang myself if it wont.
There are different files for 4.3 and 4.4
but not for 9007 bcs there is just Jelly Bean, no KitKat yet...
ok update, I am stuck with writing error... tried to flash official JB but still got the same error... anyone could help?
Used Odin 1.85? And right instructions.
Wipe cache and data reset

I'm guessing you have the Australian Optus device. If so I have the same one and successfully rooted mine (SM-N9007) last night without a problem! (Been running root apps ie. Titanium Backup and xposed framework)
I jumped on 'AndroidXDA.com' and downloaded CF-Auto-Root File from their guide. If your phone is bricked then download official firmware for SM-N9007 from sammobile and install using ODIN 3.09. Hopefully you'll be able to get it working.
Thanks, I managed to reinstall the stock rom and root it - the problem was with the usb connection, my pc has got problems with usb ports from time to time. So I switched to another pc and got it working

Dear members,

Downloaded the firmware from The Netherlands for the G900F (G900FXXU1ANCE_G900FPHN1ANC7_PHN)
I've made a backup of the demo-software and set it back for now since i can't get this firmware working on my phone.
When i am trying too send the file with Odin i do get the following error:

The phone was wiped totally.
In download mode it says: (after trying with odin)

When i see the above and i look to ''write protection'' it says that i can't send a new firmware to my phone, is that right?
I do really appreciate your answers and i will send a small donation via paypal to the person who has the golden answer for me :good:
Thanks in advance!
It is done now, download a custom recovery made by user: shebi
How can i change the bootloader image which says live demo unit?
I got a demo unit, installed stock s5 rom on it and had the same result. Then went on and installed cyanogenmod on it and everything worked but connecting to the mobile network.

[Help] My Phone won't boot (Samsung Galaxy S4)

Hi guys, i been searching for long time to resolve my issue and nothing found i think you guys could help me.
The issue is
My phone was rooted - Samsung Galaxy S4 - GT-I9505
And then i unrooted, but nothing to do with this, it was all oK..
After that i tried to upgrade the firmware from sammobile something like that..
I downloaded the new firmware I9505XXUGNG8_I9505MAXGNG1_I9505XXUGNG8_HOME.tar for my phone
And in the end of the line using Odin i got FAILED red box.. And since that i can't boot my phone stuck at Odin Mode: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & Try again. And up with small text says: Odin Mode, PRODUCT NAME: GT-19505, CURRENT BINARY: costum, SYSTEM STATUS: costum, KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0, KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1, CS0-CONFIG-LS8: 0x30, WRITE PROTECTION: enable, eMMc BURST MODE: enable
i tried with Kies but i can't connect , because i think after i unrooted, i reset my phone so USB debugging is not checked. I think for that. So i'm trying to install new firmwares with Odin and is not working i always get fail message red box, i tried all versions.
Does anyone know what to do please.
i Appreciate it.
Thanks.

That's what he's doing. It should be working.
It MIGHT be because you have non official firmware on it now and it's not accepting the flash back to stock. IF that's the case the solution is to uncheck auto reboot in Odin and run the install sequence twice in a row. That's worth a shot here, but I don't think it's the solution.
Do you still have a working custom recovery? If so you should still be able to flash a custom ROM. I might try flashing a custom TouchWiz rom then starting over.
Still fail !

Hi ,
This is from the post i gave you earlier
Odin troubleshooting: If Odin accidentally gives you "fail" try the following:
- Repeat procedure.
- Make sure that all actions of Kies are disabled from task manager.
- Change usb port.
- Try another usb cable (make sure it is the original).
- Try another Odin version.
- Uninstall and re-install driver.
- Use pit file.
- Try another computer.
Check and see if it helps , did you try what Skipjacks said?

Try flashing a custom recovery first....
For N9005
Flash TWRP 2.8.5.0 by ODIN ..
then flash the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip from Recovery ..
that's it ..
with this method , TWRP recovery flashed by odin and flash update from TWRP recovery , the knox counter remains at 0x0 ??

YES! you need Mobile Odin Pro. there are enough tutorials on how to achieve this. just use search. But you still need to be on 4.4.3 KK. In your case, I don't think it is possible. I wouldn't try downgrading on my device. It's just not worth it. If you really want to root your phone, you will have to make a choice. Either you go the safe way and use a tutorial and trip the KNOX flag to 0x1, or you can try experimenting. Which makes more sens?

boot the device normaly, then enable developer mode AND USB debug
with the following steps ( Setting -> General -> About device )
and click 3-4 times on Build number (until you get message says you are a developer now),
then you must see Devloper options in ( Setting -> General ) click on it and check USB debugging option to on.
after that try to root your device.

[Q] Need help recovering a bricked SM-900W8

This morning I updated my Note 3 (SM-900W8 on the Canadian Rogers network) to 5.0.
I had rooted this device before then, and had used Titanium Backup to backup all my apps/data. When the initial OTA update failed, someone pointed out that it was because the phone was rooted. So, figuring I had this backup in hand, I factory-reset my phone and went through the update - though I used the Samsung KIES app as it was quicker to download the firmware update than over my phone's WiFi.
Once the phone was on 5.0, I went to restore the backup... and found that Titanium Backup only works when the phone is rooted. Oops.
So, I figure that I need to root my phone again. I find instructions on how to root a note 3 and start to work through it. I go to the link for "Download appropriate CWM or TWRP recovery for your Note 3" and find the one that says "KitKat/Lollipop Android 4.4.2 CWM Recovery" and pick the one "SM-N900W8 Canadian Note 3 – CWM Recovery", because 5.0 is 'Lollipop' and my phone is the SM-N900W8. I attempt to use this with Odin, and Odin reports 'FAIL!' and the phone is stuck on "Downloading - Do not turn off target !!'. I give this a while just in case things take a while to happen... and nothing does, so I figure it did fail. I have no alternative but to turn off the phone now.
And restarting it, the phone comes up in "ODIN MODE" with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
The messages at the top of my phone on this screen are:
Code:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-900W8
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 (4)
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S2, T2, R2, A3, P2
SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLE
UDC START
I connect the phone up again, select the Recovery tool in Kies... and the phone is not detected. No matter what I try.
So then I try and download the official firmware N900W8_RWC_N900W8VLU2DOC4_N900W8OYADOC4 from Samsung Updates and try to use Odin to recovery it that way.
Again, the update fails... time and time again.
The Odin messages output is:
Code:

1. Reflash STOCK firmware 5.0 for your device: HERE. Factory reset your device when finish of boot.
2. Use TWRP (You can flash this ONE via ODIN) and root your device then.
3. Don't restore your data of android 4.4.2.
I've managed to fix things.
From other searching around, it seems that trying to use Odin via VMWare Fusion on a Mac is a 'known issue' where it gets stuck at this point.
Installed a trial version of Parallels and a basic Win XP install, re-flashed and it WORKED!
