So I've only had this phone for about a week now and just tried to install TWRP on my phone with the TWRP app from google play once rebooted 'm now stuck on a screen that says:
SECURE FAIL: KERNEL
Start Up Failed
Your device didn't start up successfully. Use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant on a computer to repair your device.
What do I do?!
Things I've tried to do:
I tried hooking it up to my computer but it doesn't detect it but makes a sound when connected?
Even though I'm on fully stock rom but my device is rooted with kingroot i planned on using ODIN to go back to stock rom just to see if anything would happen but still wouldn't detect my phone, I'm lost and miss my baby, it's the only phone I have right now currently and I need it for work.
My phone is on 5.0.1 btw
Do you have kies and the drivers installed?

Ok. So here's what happened. I wanted to root my verizon galaxy s4 and put stock kitkat on it. It was on 4.3. So I rooted it. No problem. Then I tried to put on CWM so I could flash AOPK. But, once I put CWM on, I could not get it into recovery mode. It said that unauthorized software was on my device, not approved by verizon. The only way I could turn on the phone was to put it into download mode and then hit cancel. I wanted to unroot the phone at that point and try again. Also with downgrading it. So I downloaded ODIN and tried to restore my phone to samsung stock 4.2.2. So I tried it, it worked for a while and then ODIN said that it failed. Then when I turned on my phone, it gave me a message saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." So I opened Kies, connected the phone, and tried to do emergency recovery, but it did't recognize my device. So I selected firmware upgrade and instilation. It downloaded and everything but it said "this devices version cannot be updated." So now I have no idea what to do. I can only go into download mode now. Please help me! What should I do?

Not an easy one this one, but can be solved.
First step: get the right firmware from SamMobile. (phone/operator/country).
Uninstall Kies (and USB drivers).
Reinstall Kies.
Obviously, phone removed all the time form PC!
Shut down the phone (it should be fully charged before, using the normal power adaptor).
Get phone to download mode. Still not connected
Connect phone and wait for the drivers to install.
Start Odin and flash the right firmware (watch for the blue button in Odin, it means the phone is connected OK).
IF it does not work, try another USB port (maybe even a different computer).
If it does not work the first time, in spite off all the above steps successful, don't despair. Shut down the phone (keep pressing power button) and restart in download mode. Repeat Odin procedure.
So I am trying to install a custom recovery for my i9505, but Odin does not recognize the phone which was put in download mode before. Please help me! Here are some details:
I got proper USB Drivers installed (1.5.55.0), tried even with Kies/smart switch installed
Using Odin 3.09-3.10.7
Different usb-cables
Completly UNROOTED i9505 with STOCK recovery and 80% charge
In device manager the phone does not appear properly. It has two listings:
1. Other Devices\ MSM8960
2. USB-Controller \ Unknown USB Device (Error trying to get device description //translated from German
Windows 10 Home 64bit
Personally I think it should be a problem with Windows 10 but I am not sure...
To the phone itself because it could be hardware-wise broken:
The phone itself is a completly meltdown. Before I tried repairing it the speaker were broken (no sound). The phone ran an official lollipop rom. I think 5.0.1. Then I thought I could just hit a software update to fix maybe some problems. I updated to I9505XXUHOJ2 [5.0.1] DBT
And now the software experience is completly broken. The phone gets a lot of soft-reboots, the booting takes like 5 minutes and yes the phone is factory reseted. BUT HEY THE SPEAKER WORK AGAIN?!
I really dont know what is happening but there can be only 2 solutions:
1. Re-Install stock software via odin and then switch to cm and hope it works
2. or throw this piece of sh*t away because the cr*ppy hardware is brokanus sarus rekt
or is there any other solution? Tell me
Otherwise I would also ask if there is any solution to install cm12.1 or a custom recovery without root and odin access. (thinking of sideloading in recovery or something like this)
Thanks for reading and replying. I am gratefull for everything I hope the best ^.^
Try running Odin in compatibility mode, set for Windows 7.

Windows 10 x64 works fine. I used it myself.
Try all the different usb ports and reinstall the drivers. Use the drivers from here:
http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117
Hi,
As the addition, make sure Kies isn't running when Odin is executed as it could cause the device being not detected properly in Odin.
PS Note: I used Windows 10 Home x64 too and working fine as it should.

I rooted my mobile which worked perfectly, after the initial reboot after rooting. the mobile will not boot since the battery died tho it just goes to a pink static screen after the logo.
It wont let me boot into recovery but i can still boot into download, however now Odin will not see my mobile and i have tried all the drivers uninstalling and re installing to no avail.
Tried several Pc's and new USB cables!
Bump

Update
So after brute force restarting into download mode several times i was able to get Odin to detect my mobile, however the sm-a310 failed, i then used the old root file which let me back into my phone, but again after 1 restart im back at square one so all is not lost ... its defo soft bricked and i can gain access very rarely but i don't know where to go from here.

You`ve to flash the Stock firmware through Odin, then do a Factory Reset.
After successful booting , then you try to root it again.
Got to Sammobile website and download any unbranded Firmware perfect for your device and flash through Odin in Download Mode.
BTW, how you rooted your device ?
And Make sure to check your device`s Battery level before doing any thing.
Hey guys!!!
Can you please help me with this?
Yesterday i tried to install a new ROM on my LG Android phone (My LG phone is not working properly, it has a reboot loop). I tried to do a factory reset without success -> the dead Android logo appeared :/
I put my phone in Download Mode and connected to the pc but Windows does not recognize my phone.. it says: "USB device not recognized.. the last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it"
I do not know what to do now.. when i try to flash a ROM with the LG Flash Tool it fails because LG program does not recognize my device..
PS: LG Support Tool recognizes my phone (it shows the model) but i cannot flash a ROM
Thanks!!:fingers-crossed:

Were you using a custom recovery? (i.e. TWRP)? If so, are you able to boot into recovery? It was a few years ago but whenever that happened to me I would have to use the hard reset option. If I remember correctly, on my LGG2, I would hold down the power button and the volume down button at the same time until the LG logo appears, then right when it appears, release and re-press both buttons again holding them down again until the hard reset option showed. Then when it asked me if I was sure I wanted to reset my phone, select yes (it made nervous the first ten times or so). Eventually I began to trust it would, in fact, do what I was informed it would do which was boot into TWRP without actually resetting anything. From there I was always able to flash a new ROM etc. Anyway, if you knew all that sorry, just trying to help. If not, please get second opinions since I will not be held responsible for your device and since it's been years since I tinkered with mine. Having a Samsung now, I don't mess with it cause rooting a Samsung Note trips Knox and then Samsung Pay is disabled.
Anyway, happy flashing and best of luck to you. It was an awesome hobby while I was involved with it.
Cheers!

So yeah, I screw up by a lot, but let's see if someone can help me/
I tried to update twrp on my phone and it got bricked, ADB was not seeing the device but Mi FlashTool was with a code but not COM, tried changing the phone drivers brom 900E to QL8000 and it got registered by MiFlashtool as COM and another code, the phone was still showing there even if I could not make the phone go to fastboot mode, just blackscreen; I tried to reinstall stock rom with it but got stuck at "flashing", disconnected the phone, the phone was still bricked in a black screen, when trying to reconnect the phone again to the pc, Win10 now displays an error

I hope you can help me with this issue.
Hello Bro. Try install latest Mi Flash Tool latest version and then install the drivers. For my it's works in windows 10.
