[Q] Big problem! I need help!

Hi everyone!
First of all I am sorry for my poor english, it's my third language...
I have a Samsung S4 SGH-I337M (The canadian one with Fido).
I used to root it, and then try some different custom rom and after this I wanted to put back the orginal firmware using ODIN because I installed not correctly a ROM and I didnt have the application to purshase APPs lol,... But my usb wire got disconnected from the phone while I was puting the firmware back into the phone! Now I cant boot my phone.... It tell me : " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. "..
And when I use ODIN, I receive a fail message telling me I am missing a PIT file.
But I dont have any PIT file,... I am lost haha... I hope someone can help me with it!
And if its possible, maybe I can dirrectly install a new custom ROM dirrectly from ODIN ? At this moment nothing work on my phone....

[q] please help!! No os installed!!

hi i was updating my phone from cm11 m8 to m9 when things went bad e.g. F.C. and there was no way around it so i formatted eveything via cwm (i mean everything) i normally do this when flashing and i flashed EE 4.4.2 NC4 stock firmware which first failed but installed 2nd time. then i tried my root file which again failed and passed 2nd time. last i tried flashing my standard cwm which kept failing so when i powered up my phone and it keeps saying no os installed. odin has always flashed first time round for me but today i dunno what happened. i've been flashing phones for years and i just dont know what i have done wrong today. i have tried odin 3.09, 1.87. tried flashing with pit file and two difernet usb cables. xda fourms seems like theres no soloution or thye links in the threads are removed. cant get into recovery only download mode. atm im on another pc downloading another firmware which is going to take 2.3 hours which is mental. (free registered)
on odin it says "complete write failed"
and in download mode on left corner says "
ODIN MODE,
PRODUCT NAME - GT I9505
CURRENT BINARY CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS CUSTOM
KNOX KERNERL LOCK 0X0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID 0X1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB 0X30

Hi mate ,
For the firmware go here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
in case you softbricked the phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477

ive read that link before and thats like a newbie guide but i did try but no luck. the problem i think is at the end of flashing odin it says complete (write) failed. im guessing the transferring files are not sticking on the phone thus installion isnt possible. ive tried 2 different pit files for gt i9505 and its still not working. im running out f ideas and really dont want to spend 200-300 pounds on a new phone. i have tried 3 differnt firmware one ee and two btu ones but same problem

yes yes! i done it. simple or maybe pure luck...i re installed usb driver and flashed btu and pit file and vola!!. thaks for your help btw

[Q]Samsung SM-N900 bricked

Hello guys,
I tried to root my SM-N900 this morning. I've root my Note 2 before and i thought it would just be the same. Unfortunately as i am starting to root with Odin, i've waited for hours but Odin is still not done with the phone and the download bar progression thing didnt move an inch. So with regret i turned off the phone and now it is stuck on "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen. I tried to download firmwares from sammobile but failed at 99% with a message of Unknown Network Error. So with that, are there any other solution possible? I've also tried Kies, but it wouldnt recognize my phone..

@bluws just download any stock firmware for your phone and flash it later with Odin. Use Odin 3.04 or 3.07 if 3.09 failed.

Make sure you are using correct Ver of root, make sure kies not running in bag round when you flash threw Odin, take care of antivirus

Try to connect your phone from the KIES program in a mode of emergency restoration of firmware by Model phone type and Serial Number of the phone. This may take several hours. To do this, you need a good internet.

Did you previously disable Knox? If you didn't, that can cause random problems, read about it in the newest Chainfire's thread in recent post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55325329
What kind of root process did you use Odin for?

Ty guys i got it working just by flashing a new stock rom. Tho now i am unable to call (no mobile services). Apparently it says that there are no sim card or something like that, does the region of the firmware i downloaded have something to do with it. Im living in indonesia (xse) but downloaded the russian stock i think.

Good it works again now!
Maybe it is just a baseband problem? I'm sure you will find an asian baseband only and be able to flash it.
Is your IMEI number still there? If yes, make sure to create backup of it now.

Note 4 (SM-N910H) stuck in samsung logo (solved)

Hi all,
First of all sorry my English not that good,
and please read it to the end
few days ago I tried to downgrade from Lollipop 5.1.1 to Kitkat 4.4.4 which i found later it is something can't be done,
but back then processor failed and i get some things on Odin , it stops on sboot.bin and fail and my phone in download mode says : sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
so as an android user i looked all arount the web and Xda forums and found a way to flash Kitkat with a way to avoid
sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
which was to delete sboot.bin and modem and compress them to .tar again , and guys that was the dumbest thing i did,
My note won't start and says : FIrmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again
so as usual I looked again and someone somewhere said "why don't you try PIT file"
so i tried and that work for me and WoW my note work again , and from then i I stopped all the Experiments at the poor Note 4.
but yesterday some App on my note (which require Root and I can't tell you what it is) do some weird stuff and reboot.
the devise work but this message appeared (com.google.process.gapps - unfortunately google play store has stopped) constantly, constantly and constantly ,and that is painful , so I backed up my files and wiped every thing and restart the devise but still getting the same message , so I tried flashing lollipop again but still getting the same error on download mode
sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
so i used PIT file again but nothing worked
so you know the deal , I looked around and again someone somewhere said use CWM to deal with sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
So i did , and get into recovery and I use every wipe option i did found,
and restart my note , and THIS IS THE END MY NOTE STUCK IN GALAXY NOTE 4 LOGO NO MATTER WHAT I DID
right now i am downloading Ukranian lollipop firmware but I don't think this will make a difference
Any help guys any solution to fix my phone , please i can't afford to pay to fix it
thank you in advance
UPDATE : My friend told my to root it again maybe it will work , but i just got the old recovery but still STUCK IN GALAXY NOTE 4 LOGO
So my device now working i just download this frimware
HERE
Ukranian one , and work like magic , I hope this thread work for someone else ,

If flashing the latest stock Samsung firmware back onto your device doesn't fix your problem. I would recommend taking it into a Samsung Service Center to see if they can fix it for you. If it's software based they will usually fix it for you free of charge.
