Hey, if anyone could help me with this, I would love it. I NEED this phone working again and every source I've found either doesn't mention my model or doesn't work.
I tried rooting my US Cellular Galaxy S5 SM-G900R4 using CF Auto Root and Odin 3.10.6. I followed all the steps and made sure I started the process in download mode, 75% battery, did it in AP, unchecked re-partition, and also had the correct root file. It was going fine until it got stuck on "CACHE". I kept waiting until it eventually said "FAIL". My S5 was still showing the blue download bar but I figured it was OK anyway. I clicked "RESET" and it did. I unplugged my phone and then tried turning it on but it came up with a yellow triangle in between a desktop logo and my phone logo and it said "Firmware Update Encountered an Error. Select Restore in Kies and Try Again". It does go into download mode but besides that nothing else. It's just stuck there.
After some research I found out you could fix the issue with Samsung Kies, so I installed it and everything looked fine and the drivers installed so I connected the phone and it just stuck on the "connecting" screen forever. I unplugged and tried Samsung Kies 3 but it immediately said "phone unsupported". On Kies I tried going into the update initialization mode and I typed the model number but it said the S/N was incorrect. On the back of this phone it shows the IMEID (H) number and the IMEID (D) and I tried both...
So the last method I had was using ODIN 3.10.6 to flash the stock ROM. My phone was not rooted when this whole thing happened but it does have USB debugging enabled and yes, the Samsung USB drivers are installed. Anyway, I downloaded the stock ROM for my model, and I started it through AP and everything but it immediately failed and said this:

What I did try was flashing the official 6.0.1 stock but it failed
try a fresh download. where did you get yours from? sammobile.com is the most trustworthy place, its slow from there, but theyre legit. You probably have a bad download, its the most frequent cause of issues like these

If you can give me the link to a legit download for my model that would be great. I tried a couple ROMS but they don't work, and SamsMobile doesn't carry the ROM for my model btw
Try this

Or this

Which I found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/cellular-galaxy-s5-sm-g900r4-t3024022

Phone is working fine, but Odin says "There is no PIT partition" when I try to flash.
I have a GT-I9505 with the MDA version firmware, region EVR.
I've flashed it previously, successfully, to the latest ME2 firmware, but then I installed Chainfire3D which soft-bricked it.
I recovered using Kies firmware recovery, did a factory reset/cache wipe, have rooted the phone again... but now Odin won't flash the phone!
It says "There is no PIT partition", and when I try to re-partition using the PIT file from this thread, it just says "complete(write) operation failed".
I've tried Odin 1.8, 3.04, 3.07... all the same.
The phone is currently working fine and is rooted! I just want to flash to a newer firmware, is all.
Any thoughts?
Flash .pit file with the firmware, not alone make sure re-partition is ticked

I was doing both those things. Strangely, it worked when I used another computer! Thanks anyway.
I am having similar problems. Any other suggestions?
I'm trying to root my S4 for the first time. Just had the S4 factory reset itself before starting this attempt.
Seems like the USB connection keeps resetting. I don't have this problem on any other device and I've tried swapping USB cords as well as USB ports. Tried both USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports. I keep getting the same problems. I've even tried including the PIT file for re-partitioning. Even the Kies connection keeps resetting. Kies trouble shooting the USB connection resulting in reloading some drivers but that didn't have any effect.

Now, searching lead me to a thread for I think the S3 and they were saying these kinds of problems were defective motherboards on the phone. Do I need to take my phone back to Verizon for warranty replacement? It's not even a week old yet.

For the record, I just convinced the local VZW store to swap me a NIB S4 as a warranty replacement. The new S4 is giving me the exact same problem so in all likelihood the phone is not my problem.
Going to try removing and reinstalling the drivers on the PC again.
Does USB debugging need to be checked / unchecked for ODIN to work?

NO NEED to check it. a lot of users brick their phones and can not boot to check usb debugging. so they went directly to odin flash and it was good to go :good:

Hi,
USB debugging needs to be ticked.
OK, I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and still get the same problems. Any other ideas?

Yes, a number of times at every stage one would think it would make any difference. It didn't make any difference.
I did finally get my phone rooted. While I can't say for certain, it seems like the S4 needed to be booted normally, then connected via USB, then let Win7 auto install several drivers, then I initiated bhp090808's all-in-one root tool which rebooted the phone into ODIN mode. ODIN was then successful.
Contrast that with having the S4 disconnected from USB and manually booting into ODIN mode, then connect USB, then let Win7 install drivers, then initiate ODIN to start. That sequence gave me all the problems.
Thanks for the replies though. I do appreciate your willingness to help.
Solved same problem this way:
1) Connected phone by original cable directly to rear USB port
2) Turn off Kies (no need to uninstall)
3) Stopped 2 kies processes which still run even if kies is off.
4) There must be item "Samsung Android Phone" and cascaded item "Samsung android ADB interface" in device manager.
5) Enable USB Debugging in phone.
6) I had unchecked item "Check installed apps from ADB by USB" - Not sure if it is necessary.
7) When you connect phone there has to be popup with question: "Allow USB debugging from this computer?" followed by computer signature.
Check always, answer yes.
8) Use old Odin 3 V. 1.85

Hi Everyone,
Having a problem here with a SM-900 Note 3 sent back to the US here by a relative. A relative asked me to purchase it off Amazon with their credit card (prime shipping), so it comes from a trustworthy source. AFAIK the phone was unrooted (Knox counter 0) and apps were installed through the play store. The phone is stuck at the initial "Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-900" screen. The logo is not steady, instead it keeps flashing every 3 seconds. Recovery mode does not work, or at least the phone keeps flashing the logo. Download Mode, however, works and the phone stays turned on steady. Kies keeps saying connecting and Jodin3 keeps saying my phone isn't connected. I have tried all 4 ports and 3 separate usb cables. I don't have access to a Windows machine only an iMac. I'm not sure what is wrong. I'm going to try downloading odin to my mac to see if it will work. If all else fails, I plan on contacting Samsung to see if they will fix it seeing as it was purchased only 4 months ago. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you were using a Windows PC, install Kies 3 to get a correct driver to be installed, then download a stock firmware for your device and flash via Odin. That could help to fix the problem.
I'm not familiar with iMac so I don't know what software can be a replacement for the Odin.
You can try Heimdall.

I managed to go over a friend's house and use his windows machine. I got the correct file and used Odin and it said "PASS". Unfortunately, the Note 3 is still having the same problem with the splash logo flashing every three seconds. Not sure whats wrong. Could it be hardware related? The battery contacts on the phone are fine. I don't think there is anything wrong with the battery itself because download mode works just fine. It seems to start the phone up its having trouble getting past the initial splash screen. Safe mode is not working either. Looks like I might have to put in a call to Samsung for warranty repair.

1. You will have to download one of the latest firmware of: HERE. I supose you don't know the CSC (country CODE) of your device. We don't know what firmware had your device either. Try to flash one of the newest for avoid active KNOX to 0x1 in future if you have to come back to one older firmware. Flash the firmware of the correct country if you know it ofc.
2. ODIN don't works in Mac.... use HEIMDALL. Lil guide: HERE

Can you show the Odin screenshot? And also the full Odin log file?
UPDATE:
Vndnguyen; Sorry for the long wait as the past couple of weeks have been hectic with a family member in the hospital. Samsung Customer Support was obviously unhelpful but someone managed to find the true country of origin of my phone. They said (Samsung CS) based on IMEI it is from Taiwan. Now that I know the proper firmware I have downloaded the corresponding country version from Sam Mobile. Currently leaving Odin running to see if that does anything to fix it. Regardless, I will still post a screen shot and the log file.
P.S. It was confirmed the battery was not the problem, a Samsung Rep at a Best Buy store pulled out a battery from a working display Note 3 and used it in mine, but still no dice.
I tried the Taiwan firmware from Sam Mobile (N900ZSUENI3_N900OZSENI3_N900XXUENG1_HOME.tar.md5) but Odin reported fail. Even after 3 attempts it still reported fail. After contacting the third party seller via Amazon, they replied that the Note 3 was meant for Latin America. I picked one of the countries (Panama: N900UBUENJ2_N900UWAENJ2_N900UBUENG1_HOME.tar.md5) and Odin reported Pass! But it still keeps flashing at the boot screen.
This is the log for the Panama Firmware:

I need help, I have similar problem as the OP. I will give more background so hopefully someone can help me
I have a SM-G935W8 - TELUS - Canada
I rooted and successfully installed Custom Recovery TWRP using ODIN. I used it for a few days then changed my mind and tried to flash the STOCK ROM back to the S7 Edge using once again the ODIN 3.11.1.
While it downloading into the phone, every time it gets to the SYSTEM file it would failed. Since the first time it failed, I forced reboot my device by doing the (POWER + DOWN + HOME) it will bring me to the bring screen that says "An ERROR has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software" .
So I downloaded the Smart Switch and plugged my device into the PC and tried using the emergency recovery "initialization" but as soon as it finished with the download of the software, I think it doesn't recognize the device it would ask me to put the device into download mode even though it is already in download mode. It stuck at 0% update so once again I have to abandon it.
I tried ODIN again and again but it would just failed at the SYTEM. I have tried downloading and using multiple different version of the SM-G935W8 firmware from different carriers but still no luck. I tried various version of ODIN, nothing.
I am still able to get into the download mode by POWER + DOWN + HOME if I keep holding on until that screen pop up to ask me to press UP to continue.

Try plugging the cable directly into your computer, no hob or anything. Also try a different cable.

You are right. I have tried many things but the simpliest thing like trying a different cable I haven't. The device is connecting directly into the PC. I also tried a new USB port now. I'll report back shortly. Thanks

BIG BIG THANK YOU!!!
I can't believe it is THAT EASY. The whole time it turns out it's the friggin CABLE.
I bought an aftermarket cable that is 10 feet long so I can use while I lay watching TV but I guess it's cheap cable so it doesn't perform as well. I plugged in the original cable that it came with and it worked RIGHT AWAY and now i'm back with Stock ROM. Thanks again.
Yes, cables can be the problem. Glad you made it

Over a certain distance most USB cables data will break down. It may be OK for power and some light weight data transfer, but always use a legit cable for flashing etc.

I really messed up my phone :/
Hi, so about one month ago I decided to root my phone, but I did not know what I was doing since it was my first time and I was VERY confused. I ended up causing my phone to go into a bootloop, I'd first to even get it to work make it I'd make it go into download mode then restart from there. It'd just say in the top right corner "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" then afterwords it'd flicker the bottom buttons to just turn off completely. Any advice or help would be amazing , I won't mind spending time just to fix this so I'm all open
I recomend to flash the stock firmware on your phone.
Get the firmware file from fw.updato.com(fast but sometimes website is down)
Or
sammobile.com(slow but reliable)
Since you already sayd you tryed to root ur phone i suppose you know where to get odin3
Extract the firmware zip file y downloaded inside should be a .tar file put that in AP in odin and click start
Also i recomend a wipe but in theory it should* start working without.
Hope this helped you

Quick edit, my phone doesn't show up on the ID:COM area at all, I've tried other cables but it just won't work at all. I'm pretty sure it's from my phone itself and not the program

Oh no I forgot y need to have installed special drivers otherwise in some cases it won't show up. Get it from here în my experience first time it can take up to 1 hour for phone to be recognized. Also make sure ur phone is well enterd in download mode (volume down+home+volume up+power) a blueish screen appears and volume up again) there is no way it's bcuz of the phone. Also use the cable that came with the device and if it still doesn't work (for some reason) try in another pc (or mac)

I got the driver installed and so far it's actually being able to connect ! but I have no luck at all, I put it in downloading mode, opened up oden then at a certain point my phone randomly went black then said "An error occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software" Which I did end up doing but even while using that it will randomly shut off :/. Here's the oden log

Nevermind I found the issue! For some reason, my phone wasn't charged and my computer couldn't charge it enough. Dude, I can't thank you enough, I've been at this for a month now and never thought of going onto a forum. I was about to pay some guy $30 to fix it for me.

do you have flahed a custom rom?
or flash custom kernel? like audax kernel?
So awhile back I bricked my Samsung Galaxy Tablet 4 by installing a 1 click root app and later restarting my tablet. I haven't been able to fix it since. I was using an app because of the locked bootloader. Is there a way to fix this? The tablet uses the T337AUCU2BOH4 firmware which I think I was able to find through google, although it said it only worked for nonrooted apps which I didn't understand.
You could search about Odin. With it you can install samsung stock firmware on your device, if you can still boot to download mode. Also it's best to avoid 1 click root apps(if possible) they seem to cause problems very often.

I found the firmware files here
I set my device to download mode and chose the file for the BL, AP, CP, and CSC section of Odin3 and click start. The program than stalls at SetupConnection and fails. I run Odin3 a second time and it's now stalling at Initialization. Later attempts I get a log with "Can't open the serial(COM) port". I Googled something that suggested I download the USB driver for the tablet so I downloaded this, but it didn't help.
Here's my log:
Code:
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Here's my log after running Odin3 a second time

Later attempts it now does this:

Can any help me figure out what I'm doing wrong here? I don't really know much about android so this stuff is all new to me.

This guide says that you should only choose file for the AP, but I have no idea is that fix for your problem.

Thanks for finding that! I was actually originally following that guide although I had to find the firmware files elsewhere. I tried just selecting the AP, but it didn't work. I'm still getting the same set of errors.
Edit: I restarted Odin3 and unplugged and the cord and plugged it back in and I think it's working now. It started downloading and the tablet rebooted when it was done. At first, it looked promising, but it booted to some AT&T logo in the middle and white background which scared me a little. After a minute or so it booted up to the welcome menu to configure the tablet. Thanks so much for your help!

No problem. About that AT&T logo, you can get rid of it by finding "non-branded firmware" (or something like that I don't know the right term for it) or you can check if SM-T335 has same specs as your tablet(all its firmwares seem to be "non-branded"). Like with sm-t230 you can use sm-t231 roms. But be careful if you do that.
This site might have more firmwares http://forum.youmobile.org/downloads/?cat=151 thought I'm not sure have I ever tried to download from there. Atleast you can find build numbers there.
Or maybe rooting your device and changing boot animation.
