So I succesfully unlocked my note 4. Then I tried to install a MM rom following one of the guides. It failed an Odin update and now I have no firmware. I tried to go back to 5.1.1 by using the full version Odin flash and the recovery flash, but they both fail at the end of system. The phone is currently showing showing Software Update Failed when I turn it on and it connects to Odin fine.
After a firmware update failure the phone says:
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [tz]Fused 2 > Binary 1
Any clue on where to go or what to do?
See attached Odin screenshot.
I re partitioned with the PIT file and it took.

Hi, Tried to install root through odin for the first time but the install didn't complete.
Now my sgs won't boot anymore.
It gives, the firmware upgrade error.
I can boot into download mode.
When i try to flash the original firmware for the i9505 it gives an error (something about a pit file missing)...
What can i do to get my sgs4 working again?

seems partitions are corrupt so try getting the 16GB pit file and set it in odin with the repartition option enabled..... and try flashing the new firmware
Under normal circumstances, DO NOT tick "re-partition" during Odin flash of firmware.
Only tick "re-partition" if you have the PIT file as described in previous post
Ensure any firmware (double check !) is that for your specific model.

There's a .pit file in the DOWNLOADER folder at this link: moulnisky DOT com/index.php?dir=Samsung/Firmwares/GT-I9505/
I haven't tested it so don't know if it works, but there you go.
P.S. I had the same issue and restored my phone using Kies firmware recovery mode: samsung DOT com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00048586&fm_seq=52928
So I flashed 4.4.2 that had been released yesterday with Odin and I got "FAIL! (Size)" when it tries to flash hidden.img. I first thought my phone got bricked as it was only able to get on the download mode and couldn't get to recovery mode and when I tried to flash it again it did the same error. After reading about this problem fro the internet someone said to ignore that error message and go back to download mode after flashing the rom and flash a custom recovery. I did so, went to the recovery mode, wiped data and cache and I was able to boot normally. When my phone booted up I started to have an error message that bothers me the most; "Unfortunately, Samsung keyboard has stopped working". This happens every five seconds or so. Is there any fix for this, as I'd like having Samsung's keyboard working on my phone?
You can't just ignore Odin warnings.
Almost all Odin error can be resolved by the following.
- Different usb cable
- Different usb port
- Different pc
- Reinstalling drivers.

Most likely you are flashing different size partitions. Is it stock?
If so, please download pit file for your model, flash with pit file and repartition marked, do not reboot phone, go to recovery, wipe phone and reflash again, this time without pit file and without repartition marked. Shall do the job.
Final tip: NEVER ignore Odin errors messages.

Does it have to be 4.4.2 pit file as all I found was a pit file for 4.3? Does it harm my device in any way if I try to flash with that?

i have the same problem...please!!! help me!!!
Probably you've had an OTA (over the air, wifi) update. You should flash latest firmware for your device. Samsung locked the bootloader, it's not possible to install an older firm anymore (until someone finds how).
any solution to fix this problem ?

I fixed my phone by downloading stock 5.1.1, unpacked with 7zip, deleted modem.bin and sboot.bin from the extracted contents, packed the contents again as tar using 7zip and flashed via ODIN.
Looking for an answer as well. Same situation after I wiped cache. Phone is on the fritz. Ive been up for the past 6 hours trying to fix it. Im trying to save my files on my phone in the case I need to wipe everything.

do you mean aboot.bin? and when you packed the contents, did you just zip them? then just the extension to .tar? or did you change it to .tar, THEN zip it?
Figured it out on my own. Flashed CF autoroot. Then flashed 5.1.1 which is the most up to date firmware. Im not sure if the issue was because I was doing 5.1.0 and didnt realize that was the most UTD version, or if CF to 5.1.1 was the trigger. Either way, it worked.
I tried this but also failed, then I read somewhere else that I need to remove cm.bin and sboot.bin.
I did and it flashed OK, but phone is stuck in bootloop and wont go to recovery mote form e to reset.
I am presently searching for a way to get it out of bootloop

try rename firmware file from .md5 to .tar and extract it using 7-Zip, delete or move sboot.bin and modem.bin then make a new 7-Zip archive with .tar extension and install it regulary by Odin
Thanks.
But like I wrote, I have been able to flash, but phone is in bootloop now
use the sboot and modem files from the LATEST update..just swap em out
I have 2 Galaxy Grand Prime Duos. One is working which has the model SM-G530/DS, the second one isn't working which has the model of SM-G530H/DV.
The SM-G530H/DV model is bricked, I think, because it only shows the 1st Samsung intro and doesn't then it's just stuck there until it turns off on its own and its battery is also dead.
I've tried to reinstall a stock firmware of the latest firmware 5.0.2 using ODIN 3.10 but it always fail mostly saying "There is no PIT partition.".
I've tried to download .pit files for G530H but it doesn't work either.
I tried to extract a .pit file from my working SM-G530H/DS but I can't seem to find the .pit file even though it says extraction successful.
Can someone give me the .pit file for SM-G530/DV model???
Here's what it says on the Download Mode:
MMC: mmc_write fail
SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT
ODIN : flash read failure

I did an update from CRE2 to G950USQU5CRF6 from firmware.science and so i can't seem to upgrade any further or downgrade back and follow a different upgrade path. any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried the 4 file odin flash for CRE2 and it fails with the sw rev check fail fused 5 > binary . I think i just need more recent odin files for the "U5" bootloader but i cant seem to find them anywhere that doesn't require a paid membership to download.
update:
Well i was able to flash a factory binary with v5 bootloader but still couldn't flash the normal 4 odin files that i found on updato.com for CRL1
... did a cache wipe and data wipe / factory reset was then able to flash the 4 odin files to get me up to CRL1
i probably didn't need to flash the factory binary but it is a step i took.
