Hello everyone!
Apologies in advance if I broke any forum rules by accident, first time posting here.
I have some experience with rooting galaxy devices as well as flashing roms and recovery, and have done this many times before, so I didnt put much thought in the firmware update process.
I decided to revert my S5 (SM-G900F) to its original stock firmware.
Before the failed attempt I was running Resurrection Remix 5.5.0 with TWRP recovery.
I simply went ahead and downloaded the last firmware released that is supported for my country (G900FXXU1BPA2_G900FOJK1BPA1_ILO) and proceeded with flashing it via ODIN and received the following log messages:

<ID:0/007>
<ID:0/007> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Currently the device is stuck during the boot process (most likely still in download mode) with the following message displayed on the screen:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
Kies does not seem to able to recognize the device at all.
It is worth mentioning that I have the original ROM files on the internal SD card, as well as an external SD card if needed for troubleshooting.
I would really appreciate if you can help me with this, I really hope that what I done so far is reversible.
Thanks in advance!
Does it say G900F in download mode?
If yes, try flashing this with ODIN 3.10.7
Code:

It worked! Thanks a lot!
Care to share what might have went wrong?
What is differant between the firmware you provided between the one I tried in the first place?
I understand this is a firmware for the UK, how can I confirm that the modem that comes with this firmware is compatible with my country's network?
Not sure what went wrong, I just know that ROM works for the G900F, so if it had failed with that one too, we would know it wasn't a ROM issue
As for your networks, only one way to find out

Hey Everyone! Okay so here's what I got, I (very stupidly) Rooted my AT&T (I337) Galaxy S 4. Now that I was all fine until I used a flashing script (AS we have no custom recovery) to flash a "working" Google Wallet package. After I rebooted I would get "NCF Service as stopped responding". I managed to install SafeStrap but I couldn't seem to get anything there. SO I thought "Well let me just reflash to stock" so I tried KIES but KIES detects the latest firmware to be 4.2.2, AS we know it's not, and Samsung made MF3 rather impossible to downgrade. So I got the MF3 files used at BestBuy from here [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502003]. So I put my phone into Download Mode, Open up ODIN and select the platform software in the PDA section and click start. Odin will start flashing and it goes almost all the way through but at the end I get the error FAIL! (Auth). I shall post the code below:

Any help? :/
Hello, I have tried updating my N9005 to the latest firmware 5.0 provided on Sammobile. After attempting to flash it via ODIN, the following error occurs:

Retried this step several times, but i have received the same error.
Following a few instructions found on the XDA forums, I tried using PIT file in order to re-partition.
The phone now reboots but will not go past the first boot screen "Samsung Galaxy Note3 N9005".
I tried pulling out the battery and performing a factory reset (along with wiping caches), but the situation is still the same after rebooting the device.
Also I have noticed that upon accessing "recovery mode", a error stating " Failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)" error is displayed.
I'm pretty new at upgrading phones and I've bought this phone recently and was unaware of the consequences of flashing ROMS via Odin.
The initial fw. on the device was 4.4.2 Official Samsung. Is there any way that I can make the phone reboot normally with fw. 4.4.2? Or any other firmware for that matter?
Thanks in advance.

Reflash the firmware again now via ODIN without the .pit file.

I've tried that several times without success. But the issue was fixed. Apparently the PIT file I was using did not match the ROM i was flashing. I just had to find a matching pair of both ROM and PIT and now I've successfully booted my device. Hope that this thread might help others in need for answers to similar questions.
Alright, this is taking alot more than i had expected, after finally managing to boot my device, I've noticed that flashed rom behaves awfully, my phone is stuttering, and i have no sound. Also, my IMEI is displayed as "Unknown" in the "Status'" section of the device's Settings. Any suggestion on how to fix this issue?
flash the stock the rom you have before
Hello I recently rooted my phone on 5.1.1 (Lollipop) and everything went well no issues till last night when I tried to install xposed installer and ended up soft bricking (I think) my phone, where it will turn on to the samsung s6 edge + logo and just sit there and won't go any further. I found out how to flash to the original firmware using Odin 3.10.7 and with the stock firmware file.
now I put my phone into download mode and connect it to Odin, put the firmware file into the AP section and hit start.
Once I hit start I get a fail message and this :
<ID:0/003> Odin engine v(ID:3.1100)..

I've tried different firmwares from different sites, different odin verions, USB ports please help
I tried uploading pictures and links to the firmware I used but apparently I need 10 posts before that so if you want to know anything else in order to help please ask.
am non rooted trying to flash a different firmware and I get the same. I remove the OEM lock but cannot flash anything
odin 3.10.7 works
You write SM-G925W8 that´s S6 Edge, not S6 Edge+!!! Try firmware for SM-G928W8!
Hello i have a problem with flashing anything with odin on my Samsung Galaxy S4 9505.
Whenever i try flashing ROM or recovery or whatever, it says this:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Also when i try to boot my phone normally or go to the recovery it says this:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I've downloaded Kies and tried to recover it but it says:
'GT-I9505' does not support initializing.
What i've tried so far:
flashing pit file with and without the rom.Tried multiple odin versions.Tried multiple rom versions.Tried flashing recovery CWM and TWRP.
Also the error i got "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." was after i tried flashing official rom 4.4.2 downloaded form Sammobile(first i installed TWRP recovery wiped system data dalvic cache and booted in download mode ). I was previously using latest Android 5.0.1 official.
Is there any hope of unbricking my device?
Have you tried reinstalling your ADB driver?
Honestly, kies sucks. You don't need kies to have ADB driver installed. There is a package that install samsung drivers seperately.
Once you upgraded to a lollipop bootloader you can't just simply go back to a kitkat one. Samsung doesn't allow that.
Try using the back USB ports on your PC. Trust me, it can do wonders.
You could also try Heimdall.
well i think i've advanced abit now i get this:

Yes, but you tried to, even after I explicitly said you can't.
Your WiFi issues might be related to modem/kernel.
You could try flashing a different firmware.
I tied a differed one the wifi works now.Only when i turn on the mobile data and try to go to a random site it says Forbidden.I think i need to wait my carrier to send me the setting for the net...
Anyway THANK YOU very much!! <3
I have an i337m (North American version of s4) and you can downgrade from stock 5.01 to stock 4.4.2. I did this on 3 phones in order to use regionlockaway to sim unlock all three phones. Everything worked, including data and wifi.
I'd like to try a downgrade with a i9505 for curiosity sake but that particular model is not sold by carriers in Canada.
Hello all,
So ill make this short and sweet, I have an S5 the G900F and it wont boot, it just turns on, shows the Galaxy S5 logo, then appears to start the next Samsung logo but crashes instantly and restarts (does this on a loop)
I have attempted to use odin and flash using the latest firmware I believe to be correct for the phone, to which it fails at the end on "complete write operation failed". I then proceeded to try the recovery.tar file from the same rom and it worked (took about 10 seconds total) but im still getting the same loop.
Tried Kies and all that jazz, literally doesn't even see the phone so cant do jack, recovery mode doesn't boot, all I can get is download mode (home+vol down+power)
I would be ever so grateful if someone knows the answer to this as its driving me insane.
p.s. im by no way good with android so if im missing something blatantly obvious shout it out.
Where am I going wrong?

Which firmware are you using? Do you have a branded or unbranded phone? What happens if you try installing unlocked BTU firmware? This was a problem of mine when I had a branded phone and then I got the motherboard changed due to a display crack and then I couldn't install my branded firmware and only unlocked firmware like BTU. If I wanted to install my locked (DRE) firmware, it failed at the same point on odin like on yours (hidden write) . Idk if installing unbranded firmware helps, but atleast try it out
