Hello, I have a soft bricked samsung galaxy grand prime sm-g530t1. I have tried flashing the recovery tar file but failed, I have also tried flashing the stock firmware which led to another failing because of "Volume size is too big 4362240 < 4546560 ODIN : Invalid ext4 image", and apparently I now have an error that occurred from updating the device software but when I tried using kies 3, smart switch, and kies 2.6 It says that my device isn't responding or it's unsupported. So I genuinely need help.

I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545) which I previously rooted via the Open1Your1Eyes0 pwn script. Everything was great except I wanted to update to the latest version and my phone failed with each attempt. I tried to unroot it using Odin to flash the VRUAMDK_NoWipe.tar.md5 stock ROM image.
That failed and now it's stuck on the ODIN MODE "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." message screen. The phone won't boot. If I hold Vol Down I can still go to the Downloading firmware screen, but I've tried flashing 3 other stock ROM's and nothing will work.
Any suggestions?
You are in the wrong forum. You need to go the verizon part.
I was trying to install an Official Stock Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 firmware, from SAMMOBILE Link for the firmware I tried to use: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=26516. So while flashing it with ODIN, I think it just randomly disconnected, but that just bricked my phone. I don't know whether it is a soft brick or a hard brick, but this is what happens to my phone, every time I turn on my phone whether it's done normally, the download mode or recovery mode method I will be stuck on that screen.
So now I typed in the error on Google to see how it can be fixed. Link to the method to fix the error: http://androidcentral.us/2013/09/how-to-fix-firmware-upgrade-encountered-an-issue-on-kies/
Firstly, my computer (running Windows 7 ULTIMATE 64-BIT) can detect my phone, saying the drivers have been installed successfully. However KIES doesn't detect mine. Anyways I still try to do this method where I have to go to Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initialization on KIES. I type in my model name: GT-I9505, that works, now I have to do my S/N or Serial Number: RF1DXXXXXXX, so when I press OK it says GT-I9505 doesn't support 'Intialising', so I am stuck have no idea what to do.
Also, while flashing I tried repartition my S4, to remove all of the stuff I had, none important, except my music which I transferred to my PC. Solved, just flashed Official firmware, it now works.
Just separately repartitioned my S4, it works but S4 is now stuck on boot loop, so have to flash a 4.4.2 Official Firmware.

Hi,
Can you get into recovery?
Can you still see your phone in odin?
If so , disable kies (task manager) and try to flash the firmware again.
Wipe data and cache before and after flashing firmware.
As the title says i have soft bricked my tablet it's an SM-T230NU Galaxy Tab 4 I tried to use Odin to root now stuck at at a screen with the following
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-T230NU

System Statusfficial
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in Kies and try again
I have tried mounting the device in various ways in windows 8.1, and made attempts at using Odin to recover but I have not been able to get it to work, any help you could give me in regards to recovering from a soft brck would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If your Phone is Not Rooted & Still Official Recovery You are using Try to Recover with Samsung Kies Most of the issues it'll solve...
Did you Check before Flashing the Drivers & Proper AP/PDA section??
More important are you Flashing the Correct Firmware for your Device???
Yeah cant connect to kies back then but i found a trick to passe that fail in odin when upgrading to 5.0.1 : when it freezed i reopened the download mode and put the n910h root in odin and then it succeded and the phone rebooted and bootlooped i then could access the recovery mode , i wiped everything and the phone just worked but with the 4.4.4 .
I tried one more time with the same procedure but when i opened the recovery mode i just hit reboot and the phone now has a rooted lollipop 5.0.1 even though i got a fail in odin.
But i v got very strange stuff going on with my phone :
-First i checked my s/n and imei with phone info and it showed a N910C not N910H
-I dont have a csc code and when i want to check it with phone info this popup shows up :
Error type 2
android.util.AndroidException: Can't connect to activity manager is the system running?

Help i soft bricked my Phone and it said Custom binary blocked by frp so I tried using Odin but that didn't work for some reason so now it says ''An error as occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software'' I dont know what to do now its my only phone and i need to get it back to normal plz help:crying::crying:
Download the original firmware and flash it on ODIN. If it stops at sboot.bin just remove any LOKI files and the sboot.bin itself
