Odin flashing problem - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I've got problem with my galaxy s4 i9505
So if i want to flash something via odin it's writes complete(write) operation failed.
My device is currently rooted I've install CWM mod somehow even odin said its failed so thats realy wired. At first i just wanted to update android from 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 i dont remember to latest official 5.0.1 and it failed and device are bricked. I've Don't know what to do so i flashed CWM and fortunately it works. Couple days later I've installed Resurrection Remix rom on android 6.0.1 and ti works quite well. Currently I'm running some s6 port rom on android 5.1.1 and there are some issues propably because I've don't install recommended modem & bootloader(current modem is i9505xxugne5) because i just can't. Tried to use another odin versions usb ports/cables and another pc's/windows versions. Any ideas how to get this work. I haven't any problems with odin on my previous phone galaxy s2 plus. Sorry for bad English and Thanks very much for help

Which file is giving the error in Odin? Have you tried different version of Odin, USB cables, and USB ports?

@audit13, he did mention trying all of the above mentioned.
@xOwczarek, do you have the Samsung drivers installed? And if you do, did you install the separately or with Kies?

First I've installed drivers and it don't work then kies and same.

did you deactivate kies before starting and remember to run odin as admin ?

And are you using the original cable or have tried with the original cable?

Yes I've use orginal cable. And tried others.

You may be able to use the app FlashFire to flash an official stock rom directly from the phone. You could also flash a modem and bootloader with that app, but the problem is that it will only work while on a stock rom.
My suggestion is: Try and flash a stock rom using that app, and so, your modem and bootloader will be probably updated too. Then try to, either root, or flash a custom recovery back. I recommend TWRP for the recovery.
Rooting first then recovery
Or
Recovery first and then root
They both work.

My apologies to @xOwczarek for not reading more carefully
Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I'm embarrassed but this error needed to be pointed out
Does the Odin error always occur after trying to write a certain file? What about using heimdall (http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/) to flash the firmware?
The stock rom came from sammobile.com? What bootloader is on the phone?

Nevermind i've used another pc and it pass! I've used this firmware: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/44775/I9505XXUHOB7_I9505XEOHOB3_XEO/
and orginal cable.
Thanks everyone for help

What am I doing wrong? Sprint S4 WILL NOT root.

I've always used Teamepic root and then flashed my rom, that didn't work with the S4, at least for me.... I couldn't get into recovery.
So I tried many other ways, every way I have found on the internet and if it's not one thing it's another. SSU will either say binary not available or when I am installing from recovery (cfroot) it says install aborted. I've flashed to the stock rom so many times since yesterday I'm about to go nuts, but nothing will get this phone rooted, please help!

Easiest way to root.Use odin to flash the tar file of agats kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260536

Do I have to wipe the phone again and reinstall the stock firmware first?

ATT GS4 failed installing custom rom and wont boot

I was installing a custom ROM onto my ATT GS4 with little experience and It ended up soft bricking my device. I was running MF3 firmware before I tried installing the custom ROM. I was trying to install the Gummi ROM with the custom ROM app and now my phone is soft bricked and will not fully boot. I have tried flashing many things and tried Kies and nothing will work. I don't even have a recovery. I have tried flashing MF3 stock to it and it still won't work.

ODIN the MF3 firmware and then use Safestrap. Use the search function to find info and threads about it. And make sure you do a lot of reading so you know what to do. Good luck.

Usually it's a usb port/cable issue. Use the value that came with your device and use the usb ports on the back of the pc. Make sure they're usb 2.0 not 3.0

[Q] Galaxy Note 3 9005 - Unresponsive after restoring stock firmware through Odin???

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum but have read many things on it and have gotten lots of help, but this question NEEDS a new thread!
I have been using my International Galaxy Note 3 (9005) for about 9 months, I bought it from Kogan in Australia and just recently I decided to root it using CF-Auto Root and then flash X-Note build 18.
A couple of days ago I decided that I didn't like X-Note that much so I tried and flashed Omega Rom. That all worked fine but I didn't really like any of the custom Roms and I just wanted to go back to stock.
So I download (for the first time) the newly released KitKat Australian SM-N9005 Firmware from SamMobile and tried to flash it through Odin straight over Clockwork mod recovery and over the Omega Rom that I currently had installed. When it finished it said that it had failed and something about the Ext4 not being valid, I was shocked (his had never happened to me before with Odin).
I no longer could boot into recovery and the phone said to plug it into Samsung Kies 3 and do an emergency recovery, So i plugged it in and it said that the device was not recognized, and it would not show up in the device list within the emergency recovery window.
So I did a lot of Googleing and came to the conclusion that It was probably the N9005 Australian Rom not being compatible. So after all of these errors and such I booted back into download mode and tried to install one of the other Kitkat Official firmwares that had worked fine before.
It installed just fine and Odin said reset and I unplugged it. but when it booted for the first time I was getting boot loops continually and when and now as I just start to go through the setup process the interface lags and it flashes black a few times and says I have no Sim card in (Which I DO!) and it restarts several times and IS ALL OVER THE PLACE!
It also takes about ten seconds or more after pushing the power button in to get the display to display again and it is unusable and behaving all weird.
The first few times I flash the stock firmware on it through Odin, it remembered my wallpaper, which is really weird seeing I factory reset it!
My best guess is that Flashing it through Odin and and factory reseting it is just not completely clearing it/wiping it and the system is all messed up and stuff is left over.
I don't no WHAT to do!!!! I can't even use it and it's driving me crazy can somebody, please help me!!!!
Thank you!
Look in to omega rom which version of android base it's used, flash same version of stock rom, may not available for Australian but u can flash other countries stock rom, try this & good luck.

Hi why would I have to flash the same android base as omega and what actually is Android Base?
Also will this fix it and how do I check the android base?
Thanks
If omega rom has higher bootloader version, it will not allow to downgrade if Australia stock firmware version is lower, to find out of version u must look at omega rom u flashed.

Should I try a 'Mega Wipe' to completely format it? - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501577
And I was just reading something about no signal and IMEI, I have no signal and it says no sim card, does that mean I've lost my IMEI forever??
When I was installing x-note I thought EFS backup meant a CMR full backup

Yes the original was, but this script is modified for the n9005 like the guys says in the link.
Will this mega wipe fix my phone??
I don't know about mega wipe, if I will be in your place before making case complicated I would prefer to flash LATTEST STOCK ROM.

No, I have i337 AT&T, but I have problems with flashing ROMs, and I do not know the reason.
I downloaded already 12 ROMs, but only one flashed good, but still without result. I can see onle screen with "Galaxy S4"
It seems to me tha this version is suitable for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46804713&postcount=2 but is was deleted from filehost
Make sure you have kies and the correct odin version. Maybe use another computer or reinstall windows on your computer and start from the clean slate if desperate. I have experienced that. It happens when your computer has some problems.
Omega ROM isn't made for AT&T variant S4.
If you did not flash a kernel compatible for AT&T after you flash the rom then you will not be able to boot up into the system.
Go back to your custom recovery, and install a ROM that's specifically made for AT&T like Golden Eye and so on then it should boot up fine. Also make sure you do a wipe before you install the Rom.
