I have problems with my Galaxy SM-S975L, I have tried numerous times to update the version but have had issues from before I tried to update (Frozen screens, sluggish). When I try to update using Team Win recovery I fail and get the message in red: E: Unable to mount '/data' And that is it, I can't add new ROM updates nor can I access recovery to restore the original backup. I have tried to recover numerous times with the same results, obviously something else needs to be done.
Is there a draconian way to wipe the old data from the SM-S975L and then flash all the software the phone needs to once again accept a new ROM? I have tried all the wipe options in the Team Win software but that hasn't made a difference.
I'm not that versed in Android to know what to do at this point.
Suggestions?

It could be Knox... Enter in download mode and check if you can see a line called KNOX WARRANTY VOID. If you have it, please go to this thread.

User the usb ports in the back of your pc. If that didn't work try a different pc.
Make sure that Kies is not running and all Kies processes are closed.
Open Task Manager and double chek this.
This is a very important step as Kies can interfer with Odin.
Make sure that you have downloaded the correct firmware from Sammobile.
Turn off phone completely
Wait a couple of seconds
start phone in Download mode
Open Odin
Connect phone to PC.
Load the downloaded firmware (from Sammobile) as PDA
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset checked and hit Start.
If it fails again, try with another version of Odin.
Perhaps Odin 3.07 will work?
Also, and I know this sounds stupid, use a different USB cable or the original Samsung one if you're not already... Made the world of difference when I was flashing....
Hello guys... I have been at this for a few hours now. I own a Note 4 N910H. I had upgraded OTA to lollipop last month. I was reading some reviews on lollipop because I was experiencing a lot of bugs with the OS. A lot of people were having the same issues as me. So I decided to go back to kitkat. This is where my problem happens. I accidentely soft bricked my device.
Everything I've done:
Downloaded kitkat and tried to install via odin. (Didn't check developer settings prior, not sure if this was the problem)
Device soft bricked
Turned on my device and saw this message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
Tried to access Kies, it said my device wasn't supported.
I googled around and saw an article saying I have to go back to lollipop.
I downloaded lollipop and tried to install via odin. It failed again with the same error when I turn on my device.
All help will be greatly appreciated. I really hope I don't have to send my phone back. I don't have a backup lol.

Would that root my device? I don't want to void my warranty. If it doesn't void it, how do I go about doing those steps? This whole thing is driven me nuts.
Edit: THANK YOU!!! All is good now!
Use a pit file for it. Because your hidden partition fails. Or you can Flash your latest rom with no error. I think you re trying another rom from your latest.
Been doing alot of reading across the forum and alot of google'ing. Need some help. Was running a rooted version of lollipop and reflashed a stock version ( so i thought). Now im stuck in recovery mode. Formated system memory and cache. no luck. Odin always fails on the auth. Can't find any solutions that work for me!! Need help badly as this is my only phone. I've tried different versions of ODIN, different usb ports and different usb cables. Also tried reinstalling drivers.
I've read somewhere that you can't downgrade from the newest version of lollipop. Is there any way I can just get my phone to working again? I can access recovery mode or download mode, whichever is needed. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
I finally got it to flash stock kernels, but don't know where to go from here. After flashing kernels and formatting it still doesn't boot.
Bump. I also get error 7 when installing from sd card.
Installing from sd card:
error in sideload package.zip status 7

I'm thinking it could be the partition table?.. If anyone could link me to a pit file or guide to create my own.
this model seems difficult (gt-i9506)
i tried to root it via towelroot, then kingoroot, these failed but then now the reboot is stuck on "firmware upgrade encountered an issue"
ive tried Kies firmware recovery but the download fails after 80%,
ive tried the sammobile download the ROM this too fails, network drops out tried this 3 times
i want to try Kies emergency recovery but cant find any recovery code
im stuck i dont know what to do now been researching for 4 hours cant find solution :crying:
could anyone please help?? am going crazy over this spent 2 days researching and finding nothing
Download a complete stock rom and flash it with ODIN. You have to uninstall KIES beforehand (they are conflicting).
thanks for reply...
i took kies off and this is what Odin is giving me...

on samsmobile GT-I9506/VAU/ Roms (i cant post link)
well the first ROM was 4.2 android (bottom of ROM list), so then tried 4.4 (top of ROM list) android it failed again but with different Odin errors...

can anyone see the fault here...?? no error came up on the device, only on Odin this time
Did you restart after KIES de-installation? Was USB driver successfully missing (so you had to install one manually for ODIN)? If not, you probably still have drivers/files running from KIES.
Otherwise, try a different computer to double check its not the system.
If you originally updated to Android 4.4.x or later on this device, you cannot install 4.3.x or lower as Knox within the bootloader will actively prevent Odin from functioning. As to Odin, make sure you're using the original cable, are not using a hub, have Kies disabled or uninstalled, and use a different USB port. Odin sometimes is picky about the ports it uses.
If you can get the ROM issue resolved, use CF-Autoroot to root, keeping in mind that you will trip the Knox flag in doing so. Towelroot and other one-click root methods don't work on your device.
FIXED IT!!!!!!! :laugh::silly::good::cyclops:
Moved all operations to a different PC running XP with no kies on it
The error still occurred "write fail"
So instead i tried Odin 3.09 instead of 3.07 but most of all i changed usb cables, found an original cable off my mates Nokia
then boom!!! she starting writing!!!
Thankyou so much you legends, you are now my best friends forever!!!
Strangely the new flash, all my old previous data & apps are still on there??? somehow the network is not locked either which i was fearing being a vodafone ROM
still want to root it though
Flashing a ROM through Odin doesn't wipe the data partition, which is why your apps are untouched.
