[Q] I need help. i think my s4 is bricked

So I got a new phone and was going to give my s4 to someone with Tmoble. I was trying to unlock it and now im at the screen that says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recover mode in Kies & try again". it says some stuff in a tiny font size at the top left. I cant get into recovery mode and I've tried to hook it up to Kies and that didnt work either. I've been trying to use odin and a tar file but it fails everytime. Someone point me in the right direction please. I just at least want it back in working mode.

You're trying to Odin an outdated tar.
Go to www.sammobile.com and grab the NG2.tar.

Help s4

I recently got the update for lollipop on samsung kies 3.
I have an i9500 s4.
I got into my pc and had gone through the process and for some random reason my samsung kies popped out an error and the firmware upgrade failed so i had to do emergency recovery. Now the problem is that the emergency software recovery isnt working properly and so my phone has one error screen which i have posted as an attachment. Kindly help me through this process as i need this phone crucially.

i tried flashing a lollipop firmware with odin v3.10.6 for about 20 times.
all i get is a xmit data write fail.
my phone can't start or go into recovery mode, all it can go to is download mode.

please get me a solution and a decent one.
Thanks for all the help in advance. please help :crying:

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.

Hello guys. I hope I posted in the right section as this is my first post here. I tried to root my phone (S4 I9505) today,but it failed. Now I'm stuck at the screen where it says to "select recovery in Kies". Can anyone help me? Samsung Smart Switch does not recognize my device. As I searched in other posts,most of the persons with this problem were able to use button combinations. In my case, I CANNOT enter Download,or Recovery mode. This is very important,so please help me.

Flash the stock rom using Odin even if the phone only displays the firmware upgrade screen.

Any instructions for doing that please? I repeat,I cannot acces download/recovery mode.

FOUND A SOLUTION.
1) I found this thread,and saw a reply talking about a .PIT file.
2)Searched for,and found the said file here
3)Selected the "PIT" option in Odin,searched for the file,and then I pressed "Start". It took 2 seconds to pass,and the phone rebooted without any problem.

G900F Boots straight into Odin Mode. Soft Brick help needed pls

Hi, I'm stuck. I've soft bricked my G900F. Can someone help me restore it please?
When I turn the phone on, without selecting Download mode, it goes straight to it, and displays the following message
"Firmware upgrage encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
When I connect it to my computer with Odin open in administrator mode, it is recognised by Odin.
I have visited samknows and samsung-updates, but I don't know which one I'm supposed to download.
I'm in the UK and ideally want stock unbranded firmware, or something to get it working again.
So far, each firmware I have downloaded and then used Odin to flash the S5 has failed.
Please can someone help? Thanks in advance
