Whatever i try to do with Odin, installing twrp or cf-autoroot or even a stock firmware, i always get a "complete(write) operation fail".
What could be the problem?
It's a G900F from Poland, branded by the telecom provider "Plus", with a XXU1BOJ1 firmware. CSC is PLS. Reactivation lock off and usb debugging on.
Definitely a G900F? (Does it say G900F in download mode?)
Using a native Windows PC? (Not a mac?)
COM port lights up in ODIN when you connect the phone in download mode?
Using the latest ODIN 3.11.1 ?
Tried a different USB lead / PC ?
Yes me too. .today i trying flash stock firmware 5.0 frm m'sia XME but still not pass just say fail i using odin v3.10.6 window7.

Yes, definitely a 900f. I use a Windows PC with Vista, and Odin 3.11.1. The com port in Odin lights up blue when i connect the lead.
The blue progress bar on the S5 display lights up when the upload starts but doesn't reach any further than 2 milimetre, and that's it.
Haven't tried a different pc or lead as i haven't one.

Could try factory resetting the phone first from recovery
I'd definitely try get a hold of another USB lead
Try a different USB port too
And might be worth upgrading to Win 7 at least, COM port lighting up says the driver is working and can see the phone, but Vista is ancient and known for being buggy
I know you say it is definitely a G900F, but does it say that in download mode too? Just because this is the same behaviour that occurs when trying to flash a ROM for the wrong model S5, and a lot of S5s are incorrectly sold as G900Fs, they even say it in Android and on the box and sticker
Download mode can't be changed
Try from another computer. If that also fails, then I could only think of 1 thing. Your Galaxy S5's board is damaged. This happened to me back when I owned a Galaxy S3. When that happened, I did a little research and it turns out that in some cases of Motherboard failure, it will put the board in Read-Only mode, which will render and manual firmware flashing impossible. As it also turn out, the only solution was to replace the motherboard itself.
It could be other things, but if what I mentioned will not help you resolved your problem, a visit to an authorized service center could be your only hope in getting that fixed.

I uploaded some movies and other files from pc to S5 to see if file transfer is okay and there seems nothing wrong. Superfast and no errors or something.
If the lead or something else is faulty then the file transfers i did would give problems or not?
This is how the screen on the S5 looks like when i try to use it with Odin. The blue progress bar doesn't go any further than this.

Looks like you have ruled out just about everything other than Vista being the issue

Working perfectly for me
Solved.
At first i tried a Windows 7 copy but that didn't help either.
Then i looked at the back of my pc and noticed 2 different sets of USB ports, 2.0 and 3.0.
The lead was in a 3.0 port. Switched it to a 2.0 port and now it works.

Sorry for my English I will try to explain my problem.
After rooting everything was fine, but when I try to flash stock firmware somethings happen.First problem is that my PC cannot detect the phone with Odin and adb or mass storage I am 100% sure that the problem are not the drivers because I root that phone on the same PC before a week and of course I try everything on a another computer, but without success.
Download mode Odin cannot detect the phone! after many attempts to fix usb problem now the phone cannot boot , only in recovery (loop)after every start it's show recovery with message
Filesystems:
system: rfs
data: rfs
cashe: rfs
maybe system, data and cache files are erased I don't know.
recovery version is 0.1.3.b5
How can I flash stock firmware without PC. For example HTC devices can flash from SD card - Gold card, and PB99IMG.zip (I can't explain very well what I mean sorry)
Maybe the phone is usb bricked !
working..
recovery - only recovery
Download mode Volume Down + power off + camera ) - but cannot connect to PC and Odin.
not working
after flashing new costume ROM - the same thing - reboot to recovery
installed software on pc
android SDK,Kiesmini_1.0.0.10075_1,Samsung PC studio 1.5.1.10064_2,Drivers for spica on (Windows 7 x86)
really I cant find post like this !!! and sorry for my English
If you can go to download mode and phone is not detected, then you have bad drivers or bad usb in PC. Try another PC.
I have 3 pc and 2 cables and the same problem cannot detect. Can I flash new stock firmware without odin ?

Calm down. Did you read what I posted above? I said nothing about drivers. Have you tried other USB ports? Most people find the ports on the back of the CPU work the best, not ones on the front, or on a hub. It does make a difference.
hi my mate has and s4 9505 and he wiped the hole phone like a noob and it wont enter recovery and in odin nothing will flash tried pit file and also stockrom it either gets stuck on setting up connection or stuck on pit mapping part tried adb devices command but its not picking up the devices the drivers will be on his comp as he has all ready flashed things via odin before on the s4 any ideas people cheers

Try that:
You can use this software to repair Your dead Samsung i9505 and similar (m919, i337, L720 etc)
Note, You need to install QHUSB Qualcomm drivers first.
After flashing with this software, You need to flash phone with official firmware and PIT file, otherwise phone will be dead again, and You'll need to repeat the process.
If You get errors reported by this software (command prompt window), You'll have to replace the eMMC chip first.

Did you install the drivers for the phone?
Did u put phone in download mode and flash with odin?
If so, trying closing all kies process, changing usb port and run odin with admin. Flash pit file and stock firmware.

What odin version are u using? Are u sure you have properly installed kies or drivers? The latest kies version? Try disabling antivirus and installing latest kies.
tried with odin 1.85 3.04 and 3.07 and yea latest kies i uninstalled antivirus to be on safe side as i no it can conflict with odin and stuff
The problems you are having are purely driver issues. Try flashing the phone on another computer.

Try a different data cable it worked for me
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
Well I've had some problems too today and there a couple of things you might want to try (I'm sure one of them will fix it):
- Pick a different USB port (preferably one in the back)
- Try a different USB cable (I used one from my Nexus 7, didn't work. Tried with the original S4 cable, worked)
- Uninstall Kies and the Samsung drivers from you control panel -> programs
- Download the Samsung USB Drivers again (google it) (do not install them yet)
- Download and install USB Deview (google it) and delete every driver of Samsung you come across in the list (just right click and click delete)
- Disable your internet access and reboot
- After rebooting install the Samsung Drivers (without an internet connection)
- Plug in your phone after you've installed the drivers and enable USB Debugging
- Reboot
- Enable your internet connection again
- Try to flash again in Odin (it should work now)
If this won't work, I don't know what will. A different USB port, cable, fresh/original drivers (not the ones Windows Update may try to install for you), etc is probably what you'll need to get it working.
thanks for every ones help we installed a fresh copy of windows 7 and installed every thing again and it worked fine defo must of been driver related :laugh:
Cheers now flash away like there's no tomorrow
I have a S4 I got in a trade, and It has this error when it boots up. I plug a usb cable in, and it does not recognize it in windows in either the yellow triangle or downloading mode. I have enclosed two pictures to show the errors. Is there any hope for my phone or am I out of luck ? I do appreciate your alls help and directing me to the correct place to fix this.
Thanks!

Looks like whoever had it tried to flash a ROM or something and failed. You'll have to flash the stock firmware in ODIN. I recommend downloading MDL and MK2, because if by chance MDL works then you can get a full custom recovery and not be restricted as to what you can flash. This phone has a locked bootloader so flashing is not as straightforward as other phones.

What links can you provide that gets me the stock ROM, MDL, and MK2.
And thank you so much for the help.
Definitely try the AMDL image first like DeadlySin9 stated. If it is still on that version, you found a diamond in the rough. You'll want to keep it from updating afterwards if it is on AMDL.
AMDL is available from sammobile.com
MK2 is available from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621279
I believe you will have to register on that site to download them.

My biggest problem is this, It will not reconize the usb when I plug it in the computer. I am a computer tech, I know about usb drivers for samsung. etc...Ive done the volume down, power etc where its in download mode, it doesnt reconize the usb. Is there a way to put this on a micro sd card and install it from there? Or do I have to do it from usb?
I would try downloading the Android SDK. It may give you the drivers you need.
Otherwise, try different cables (OEM is best) and different USB ports. Make sure you download the drivers off of the Samsung website. If there is a bad driver on your machine, ensure you are checking the box to delete the driver file when uninstalling.
Otherwise, there is another program called Heimdall that ignores the windows drivers, but I'm not well versed in that one.

What the biggest problem is, I can go to Device Manager and when I plug it in, It doesnt do anything at all. No indication that a USB device in the USB section. But I havent tried kies, I figured, if a unreconized usb device wasnt in the device manager, theres no sense in going any further. EX: I plug my mouse in, it shows up in device manager somewhere. The S4 doesnt at all.

If changing cable and different USB ports hasn't helped, then the USB port on the phone is probably defective and that's an entirely different issue.
EDIT: Also try a different computer if possible.
I know this thread is an old thread but I still wanted to share. I was recently working/ playing with a couple of Samsung Galaxy s4's ( sgh-i337 & sgh-m919). I managed to get the "secure fail: kernal, unauthorized software has been detected by the system" message. These days you hook the device to smartswitch and do an emergency recovery. What I did was hooked the phones up to z3x Samsung Tool Pro in download mode. After selecting the proper device, I clicked the option to read the pit file. After reading the pit file, the device restarted normally with no message. The first time I thought may have been a weird bug but I have replicated it 3 times and the same result each time. This happened after installing or having issues with custom recovery.
Hmm it looks like whoever was trying to install a ROM or custom recovery, forgot to use the Loki exploit.
You can download the MDL firmware from my Google drive here:

My mother has this model which long ago I rooted for her and installed a custom ROM for better battery, recently the phone turned off and never turned on again, at first I thought of the battery which was indeed completely uncharged but after that the phone wouldn't even turn on or charge (had to charge with a battery charger) it doesn't enter recovery mode or ever show the samsung logo when turning it on, but it can enter Download Mode, I have tried repartitioning since I have the .pit file with the newest Lollipop ROM but it gets stuck in initialized in ODIN, I don't know it there's any way in which I could solve this problem since she cannot go to Samsung and needs urgently her phone and I want to be able to fix it, I have all the drivers installed, the newest version of ODIN downloaded and everything and I know it is not dead from the motherboard since it can enter into Download Mode, has someone been able to fix this?
You are using a stock rom in Odin? Tried using the original Samsung USB cable? Try different cables and USB ports. Also try a different computer and operating system.
The fact that the phone goes to Odin mode is a good sign.
Odin mode is a good sign. Change the cable, the USB port and check the drivers. Also try a different computer, if you can.
Still nothing
Yeah I have practically changed form all the USBs in my laptop, from 3.0 to 2.0, also from my PC. I have tried the microSD card fix that I read from the N900T forum using a N900 unbrick.img file and everything but it still gets stuck on the initialization phase of ODIN, I have tried with ODIN 1.85, 3.07, 3.09, 3.10.7, with three 3.0 USB cables and 2 2.0 cables. I'm using the last stock N900 5.0 firmware that showed up, don't know what else to do, and there's no Samsung repair center here so thats not an option :C. Does somebody knows what else I can do? Because the computer recognizes the device as a normal Download Mode Samsung phone and ODIN shows it properly and everything, it just doesn't make like the right serial connection with the computer.
Edit: I have also discovered that when I disconnect the phone after minutes of staying in initialization it shows in ODIN that it failed but 3 lines of code appear:
Get PIT for mapping..
There is no PIT partition.
All threads removed
Don't know if it means something.
Seems like the NAND shat itself if it can't repartition.

Already did, it doesn't get past the initialization part in ODIN with either the pit or any file
What about attempting a reflash with kies or smartswitch?
With Odin, you're using the original Samsung cable? Try other cables and USB ports?

Yep, have count exactly 14 USB ports to now, and Kies gets stuck at 0% :C
Progress?
Ok, after fiddling around with ODIN for almost 5 hours I decided to give Heimdall and its cousin JOdin3 a try. I deleted all the Samsung drivers even the logs with USBdeview and replaced the generic serial driver with the WinUSB one in order to use heimdall without the usblib error -12.
Everything fine with it and I have advanced in the way that it now kinda interacts with the phone via serial and not just initializes, but its receiveing an error which I cannot find a way to solve: https://goo.gl/FJJWJT
Anyone knows something about it?, I won't stop till I fix this hahaha

If I bought the motherboard of a SM-N900W8 that also has an Exynos chip would it work?, it's really hard to find a motherboard for the SM-N900. And the software doesn't seem to go anywhere :C
Someone?
My Note 4 is n910cq with Exynos and I downloaded Android 6 from an xda thread and while I try to flash it through odin I got an error. After that the phone stuck with a screen says"firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode ın kies and try again". I can put the phone into download mode but not able to get it to recovery mode. I tried to flash older roms but still keep getting error in odin. I tried Samsung smart switch app through upgrade section but no result. So, what to do?
it happens to me also because the phone disconnects while flashing , so you need to change the usb port ..keep trying to place it in a different usb port or even try to change the usb cable
