Samsung Galaxy S5. Cant flash stock rom and Update it with kies. - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) is stuck at the boot screen and keeps restarting. I cant go into recovery mode. I can only go into the download mode. I tried to flash it with odin and update it with kies. But none of it works.
At the download mode screen it says:
ODIN : flash read failure
Error: There is no pit binary
Odin screen:
<ID:0/013> Odin engine v(ID:3.1101)..
<ID:0/013> File analysis..
<ID:0/013> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/013> Initialzation..
<ID:0/013> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/013>
<ID:0/013> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Any help will be appreciated

Got your back.
Hey man just make sure you closed odin completely.
1. Start Kies
2.Click Tools-> Firmware upgrade and initilazation
3.Type in model of your phone for example sm-g900i which is my Australian S5 then it will ask you for your SN which is a 16 digit code serial number located on the back of your phone when you remove the battery.
Then just follow steps until it asks YOUR phone to be connected... DONT connect it yet...first put it in download mode; phone turned off; press home but, power but, and vol down bot at same time then press vol up key to enter download mode.
Connect phone; then just wait 1 hour and voila you got your phome with latest stock firmware.
Please reply to us if this worked for you as this can help new users to determine what to do.
Cheers
Sorry but English is not my first language, hope i made myself clear.
If there is anything else i can do to assist please let me know.:laugh:

Which Kies works with the S5? Because neither seem to be working
I'm having pretty much the same problem, had a bad flash and can't boot into recovery or get it detected in Kies
And I can't flash stock Marshmallow or Lollipop till I finish downloading them
Going through firmware upgrade and installation option and putting in the model just causes Kies to freeze using either version

Kies will automaticlly download the correct atock fw.....just use Kies lite versiom which is the one i used a couple of days ago and had exactly the same problem as you i actually had a corrupter pit file so there was no partition being found...again install and use lite kies for samsung then just dlow the steps ut should automatically download the firmware and install it into samsung at the same time you shpuld not remove the cable whatsoever during download and installation and actually make sure yu have the drivers for samsung installed and that the usb cable you are using is original....hope it works if you need a detailed guide with instalation steps let me know or heck i cpuld even help out with a video just let me know.
Hope you get it sorted and if you do please let us all know so in the furute people can see the answer.
Cheers.

It's alright I fixed it now, still couldn't get Kies to work
I flashed the latest version of Lollipop (no carrier) to the phone, which initially sent it into a bootloop. But that enabled recovery again so I did a data and cache wipe, flashed the same ROM from ODIN again and it worked

Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6800 Need stock Recovery

I was trying to reset the whole device because I've uninstalled some stock apps by accident using Titanium backup. So I tried to recover my device through the recovery mode and start fresh. The stock apps was still gone...
So I figure I can use Odin3 v1.87 to flash the whole device with the firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
I thought that would most likely get me back to the factory settings with everything and start fresh. But then Odin needs PDA, PHONE, CSC to run and the firmware only gave me one P6800OZSLP7_P6800ZSLP7_HOME.tar.md5 I was like how can I use this...
Then I found a guide in XDA how to separate it out into the three sections.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...64&postcount=9
I was like finally i can start this fresh. Things got worse.... every time it flashes to modem.bin it got stuck. It can never go through that part of the flashing. I then want to give up and use CWM to recover it back. Now i dont have 3g anymore on my tablet. Can someone teach me how to reset the whole thing back to stock?
As you can tell from the firmware i used is an HK Galaxy Tab 7.7 in ICS.
Thank you so much!
stick the tar.md5 file in pda and flash with odin it will flash everything to the correct places. DO NO TICK DO NOT TICK RE-PARTITION

Actually i got it fix all i needed to do is to wipe the cache and maybe flashing it with the right pit i'm not sure but everything is working now thanks everyone

Help! Would doing this get Samsung Kies to work again?

[PROB] Can't install recovery, Download mode (Write protection: Enable)

Hi folks,
Having searched the forums I couldn't find an answer.
The problem I'm getting is when I get into download mode. I see the normal green android icon but at the top there is a grey caption saying: Write protection: Enabled.
I've been trying to flash twrp custom recovery but odin tries to do it and at the end it tells me success:0 failed:0.
That's all strange enough as previosly I managed to root the s4 using chainfire's Autoroot.
Could anyone tell me why is this happening and how to jump over it and install TWRP recovery.
//edit
I didn't check before I rooted the device but now I can't access stock recovery.
Cheers.
Ps. the device is: rooted i9505 running XXUAMDC stock rom, network: Three UK.
Attached is a screenshot of what I mean.
Thank you.
Didn't the TWRP site suggest using GooManager to install if you're rooted? Maybe give that a shot.
My unbranded UK s4 also said write protection enabled however I've had no problem installing twrp recovery.
Flashed via odin after putting phone into download mode... Have twrp in pda and it's checked in the box next to it...

I have the same issue. I'm stock XXUAMDE with CF-ROOT.
I haven't tried to flash TWRP but I can't boot into stock recovery.
It says 'booting recovery' in blue but then just hangs.
Have you tried using Super SU app and unrooting?
Ok.
I tried using GOOmanager, it cannot find suitable recovery for my device (which is strange as you may find it through TWRP web page).
When I choose in GOO to reboot to recovery it actually gets me to stock recovery (I still can NOT get into recovery using power+home+UP)
When i try to flash TWRP using (newly discovered via GOO) stock recovery it looks like that:
There is a broken android icon (see 1st attached file) and the text
-reboot system now
-apply update via ADB
[.....]
# MANUAL MODE #
Applying Multi-CSC
Applied the CSC-Code : H3G (btw H3G is my carrier, three UK)
Successfully applied multi-CSC
when I choose the recovery file to flash I'm getting response that E:\signature verification failed
Again everything I've done with the phone was CFroot, that is it. No custom rom etc or other playing with it.

I've got EXACTLY the same behaviour. I discovered GOO manager allowed me to boot into stock recovery.

If you're having problems check the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266336
It's the same method I used to root my phone and flash TWRP. (I too have write protection enabled)
write protection enabled means nothing
I have the exact same thing written on mine.
I have CF-Auto-Rooted mine AND TWRP 2.5 placed on mine, both using ODIN method.
No issues at all - both work perfectly fine.

Try using just the Vol Up+Power. Once the phone vibrates, let go of the power but keep holding the up key until you see something appear on the screen. That works on my non-rooted phone to get into recovery.
Hiya
Just for your information.
I've done factory reset, it preserved root access (which I found strange) and now I've managed to flash twrp recovery (which in my view is way too much touch sensitive )
Thanks for all the replies.

Hi All,
Just got my galaxy s4 i9505 with baseband XXUAME2. Have been trying to root this using CFROOT via odin numerous times but each time it fails. The error message includes "write operation failed" and "No PIT partion".
I have downloaded the correct PIT file and tried again but the same problem again.
I have further tried to flash pre-rooted firmware and another stock firmware but again - nothing I do seems to work.
Have tried the factory reset as well but again does not work.
Have tried flashing using motochopper method but also does not work.
Was hoping if someone could kindly extend his/her expertise - I am completely clueless at this point..
Ok for those getting the following error using Odin,
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004> Removed!!
<ID:0/004> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I was getting the same errors whenever I tried to flash anything and couldn't figure out why. Now I seem to have sorted it.
Try this.
DO NOT HAVE ODIN OPEN YET
Stop KIES on your PC if it is on.
1) Put your phone into Download mode, (Home, Vol Down, Power at same time).
2) Connect your USB to PC/Laptop and phone.
3) Press UP on your phone.
4) now, open ODIN. <---only open AFTER your have pressed UP on your phone. COM and "Added" should be showing.
5) Flash what you need to flash.
(I noticed previously when I had Odin open, then pressed UP, it would show as "Added" and a Com would show, but I would ALWAYS get the Pit error and a Red FAIL)
I have now tried this method several times on the trot, flashed CWM with success, (where as it was always failing previously), and re-flashed other ROMS with success each time.
Hope this helps others.

First time i tried to install a custom recovery on my S4 I9505 LTE. With Odin.. It didn't work..
I knew about heimdall.. And i gave that a try. And it worked perfectly. The one thing that's a bit weird.. After it first worked through heimdall. I could flash any custom recovery through Odin. But I think you should give heimdall a try..
Here is a link to how to install CWM on the cyanogenmod wiki: wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jfltexx#Installing_a_custom_recovery_on_Galaxy_S4_.28International_LTE.29 (I can't post links yet. So i just removed the http)
i flashed modern , and, it is fail, what wrong

my phone have this entry : "write protection : enable"
on my phone is also 'write protected- enable' but odin and cwm work fine

Need help recovering Samsung S5 SM-G900A

Hi, my brother-in-law tried to root his phone but probably didn't know what he was doing with Odin and Kies. I tried to restore the phone with Kies3 but the phone is not recognized and I can't get a recovery code.

I've tried everything I could flashing each one by one [BL] [AP] [CP] and [CSC]. Apparently the only one that successfully flashed through was [CP]. The phone can boot into recovery mode fine, when I start the phone normally it just hangs on the Samsung Galaxy S5 screen. Any help in the right direction would be appreciated. I have pretty much GoogledFu'd all the information I can and am using the stock Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900A firmware. I have tried different USB ports, the stock Samsung USB cable, and an LG USB cable and that didn't help either.
To flash the firmware using Odin you need to put the phone in Download mode (Power + home + volume down) and not recovery mode. Select PDA/AP in Odin, select the firmware and then click start.

Yes, I already have done that and the only thing that writes successfully is the [CP] file. It fails to write to the NAND and does a FAIL! (Auth). Not sure what else I can do.
Alright I think I figured exactly what he did to the phone. Apparently AT&T locked the bootloader on Lollipop and his phone got upgraded to Lollipop while he was sleeping. So he tried to use Odin to flash the AP for the older KitKat back onto the S5 and this softbricked the phone. As far as I have read there is no way to downgrade back currently to KitKat to get root access. I'm trying to look for stock firmware for Lollipop but I can't find anything for this model. I assume if I flash it back to the latest Lollipop version functionality will be restored. Someone said something about flashing a kernel but I don't know. Not really sure what to do now since I can't find official Samsung S5 SM-G900A firmware to flash back either through the recovery or through Odin.

I assume if I flash it back to the latest Lollipop version functionality will be restored. Someone said something about flashing a kernel but I don't know. Not really sure what to do now since I can't find official Samsung S5 SM-G900A firmware to flash back either through the recovery or through Odin.

I am currently in the same boat. Please tell me you found a fix for this and if so, what was it? Any help is greatly appreciated.
@DigitalBeating and @Theamazingcorey
Here is an AT&T lollipop firmware.....

G900AUCU4COI5_ATT4COI5_v5.1.1_Repair_Firmware
I found it (by chance) on a Russian hosting site. They say it's a 'repair' firmware which means it is more than likely going to be more than one file (it'll probably be bootloader, modem and OS) So you'll have to load each file into it's respective Odin 'slot'.
If I understand how repair firmwares work, it should wipe and format the data partitions (instead of simply overwriting them) as it flashes. This will give the best chance of a successful flash.....

I cannot thank you enough, that seems to have fixed my problem. I though I was going to be stuck with a paperweight, lol.
Would you happen to know if there is a way to root the the AT&T S5 with 5.1.1?
Glad it worked fella.....
With regards to rooting, everything I've read on XDA indicates AT&T Lollipop can't be rooted....and the possibility of downgrading to achieve root is non existent.......
But there's a LOT if information on XDA, and I'll be the first to admit that I haven't read it all........

@Theamazingcorey just out of interest, can you confirm what files were inside the zip?

Thanks for the info. Sorry I was not able to get back to you sooner, I've been slammed these last couple of days. Have family coming into town this evening and between work and getting ready for their visit, I haven't had time to think straight, lol.

I wanna warn you before start this process
If your model is n910f then go ahead and flash
Make sure in download mode the model shows sm-n910f otherwise you'll have some serious issues and it can brick your device and useless if model is different like n910v n910a n910t etc.
Report back as soon as you get any results.

after a time a found that the phone is booting normally again, i've installed the TWRP app and flashed the .img recovery (like i did before), but when booting into recovery it takes me to download mode.
i've noticed that in the recovery it is written in phone model: N910P and not N910F, i think the problem may be here, how to get it back to N910F?
yes, i tried to flash the stock ROM (i've downloaded it from sammobile.com) N910FXXU1DQHC_N910FBTU1DQH1_N910FXXS1DQA1_HOME.tar.md5 (android V6) and i get the same problem (auth).
this is my old ROM: N910FXXU1COH4
i've downloaded this: N910FXXU1COH4_N910FOXA1BOC3_alexndr.7z (android V5)
should i try to flash this and then i re-falsh the other one (i want to install a ROM that has android V6 or V7)?
You can use the Smart Switch for Samsung to get your original firmware - it requires the serial number of your phone.
At least you can have back the original OS. And see from there where do you want to go.

that program didn't give me anything helpful, i couldn't get the OS from it.
should i try odin again with the old version?
i finally could enter the TWRP recovery again
i tried this rom:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-resurrection-remix-5-8-0-t3523130
but it didn't work, i get 'error 7'.
What did you do to get back to TWRP???
I've tried to flash, failed a few times before success, but it was buggy, so I tried to go back to recovery to find I'm stuck in download mode permanently..... I've tried to force it out by using dr. fone and all other sorts but they all fail. IDK what to do..

in my first problem with this device, i could enter the recovery again after several tries, and i could flash a rom (lineage-14.1-20170825-UNOFFICIAL-trltespr) throught it.
now the phone is stuck again in download mode, and when i try to flash this rom: (N910FXXU1COH4_N910FOXA1BOC3_alexndr) i get: (There is no PIT partition)
i've downloaded the pit file of N910F, the phone was showing that my version is: N910FXXU1COH4, but in download mode it shows: N910P
i'm confused, what pit files should i use?
my phone is a gsm and not a cdma.

Yeah, I flashed Lineage on my phone successfully and I like the rom so Im just gonna stick with it, I've flashed a few others without a problem, not getting stuck, and I was also able to use a PC program to "force" it out of download mode.
