Hello guys
Yesterday I was trying to root my Galaxy s3 neo (thing that I've already done with my old S2) but when Odin came to 25% of its work, a FAIL text showed up and blocked everything. I had to reboot my phone, but this thing didn't happen, as it gets stuck on the "firmware upgrade incountered an issue" screen. I tried to install a new stock ROM (adding its PIT file too) through Odin but it doesn't work, as it gets ready in recovery mode and then fails again after 3 seconds telling me that there is a problem with an ext4 file. I'm not a developer (but working on it) and I'm kind of a noob, but could you help me out?
Thanks a lot in advance guys!

I am trying to recover my bro -in law's phone who bricked his phone during an OTA update. I don't know what happened. I have followed several of the how to's here but i ran into the error updating Firmware shown in a black box.
I have an AT&T Galaxy S4.
I have been trying using kies, going to "tools", then "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization." and followed the instructions and agree to everything.
It continues to download the Firmware which takes about 30 minutes then it changes screen and looks to begin the download to the phone
but right away has an error "failed to upgrade due to unexpected error, do you want too run emergency recovery now? And wants a recovery code.
That's as far as I get, I'm exhausted in my ability to fix this. Can anyone help?

Hey guys! Thanks for reading.
I was trying to flash stock FW to my phone (SM-G530MU, G530MUUHU1AOA2), but i couldnt do it. I downloaded almost all FW available in SAMMOBILE, but all gave me the auth error in odin.
I thought it was because of the recovery, so i flashed the Phil one. Still no luck.
Then I formatted and wiped through recovery, thinking that would be a good way to have everything to stock.
After that, the phone wont get past the Glaxy Grand Prime logo with androidn at the bottom.
I still cante get ODIN to flash any FW because of that Auth error. Have no idea how to fix it.
Also i tried KIES, but once i enter all infor, it simply says "Failed to run firmware update. Unknown error occured".
So yeah, please help. Dont know what to do. Thanks!
I fixed it! Close this Mods! Finally i went to Samsung and they provided me the original firmware for my model. Thanks
Hello. So ill start from what i wanted to do and where i need help.
I wanted to put Cyanogenmod to my Samsung Galaxy s3 neo. But when i deleted data fro. The phone i also lost the ROM. So i lost the OS. Now i searched and i flashed my phone with stock firmware. All went well. But now when the phone started it stucks on samsung bootload logo. Some of my friends said try downloading another firmware. So i downloaded one. But i dont know when i want to extract the firmware with Winrar, it sops after 90% and says crc fail error, the file is corrupted. (I downloaded this file from sammobile.) Now what can i do. Please help me because i don't have any other phone.
Hi all,
First of all sorry my English not that good,
and please read it to the end
few days ago I tried to downgrade from Lollipop 5.1.1 to Kitkat 4.4.4 which i found later it is something can't be done,
but back then processor failed and i get some things on Odin , it stops on sboot.bin and fail and my phone in download mode says : sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
so as an android user i looked all arount the web and Xda forums and found a way to flash Kitkat with a way to avoid
sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
which was to delete sboot.bin and modem and compress them to .tar again , and guys that was the dumbest thing i did,
My note won't start and says : FIrmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again
so as usual I looked again and someone somewhere said "why don't you try PIT file"
so i tried and that work for me and WoW my note work again , and from then i I stopped all the Experiments at the poor Note 4.
but yesterday some App on my note (which require Root and I can't tell you what it is) do some weird stuff and reboot.
the devise work but this message appeared (com.google.process.gapps - unfortunately google play store has stopped) constantly, constantly and constantly ,and that is painful , so I backed up my files and wiped every thing and restart the devise but still getting the same message , so I tried flashing lollipop again but still getting the same error on download mode
sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
so i used PIT file again but nothing worked
so you know the deal , I looked around and again someone somewhere said use CWM to deal with sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
So i did , and get into recovery and I use every wipe option i did found,
and restart my note , and THIS IS THE END MY NOTE STUCK IN GALAXY NOTE 4 LOGO NO MATTER WHAT I DID
right now i am downloading Ukranian lollipop firmware but I don't think this will make a difference
Any help guys any solution to fix my phone , please i can't afford to pay to fix it
thank you in advance
UPDATE : My friend told my to root it again maybe it will work , but i just got the old recovery but still STUCK IN GALAXY NOTE 4 LOGO
So my device now working i just download this frimware
HERE
Ukranian one , and work like magic , I hope this thread work for someone else ,
If flashing the latest stock Samsung firmware back onto your device doesn't fix your problem. I would recommend taking it into a Samsung Service Center to see if they can fix it for you. If it's software based they will usually fix it for you free of charge.

Hi there.
first of all i want to introduce myself because this is my first post on this website, i got this website from a friend of mine.
my name is nicky, im from holland and 26 years old.
but since today im in big trouble..
i had my phone rooted, but i wanted to uninstall this.
so i used an app for it, but then it rebooted and it had a bootloop.
first step i tryd to reset it with the recovery tool within the phone.
not works because of an error. E: cant mount (or something)
so i tryd to bring back too stock firmware with odin.
it came back with an error.
NAND write start, FAIL...
next thing i did was to try recovery with samsung programma smart switch.
also fail. (now i have this logo An error has occurred while updating the device software. use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software) while powering my phone.
i dont know what to do anymore, im working on this since 11 clock this morning and im getting a little depressive about this.
Details:
Samsung galaxy s6 edge.
Nederlands, not a provider locked phone.
still can go to download mode, but cant go to recovery.
many thanks.

If you're still able to get into download mode try rooting your phone, install custom recovery and boot into recovery.
Then flash a custom rom
After that if you want stock again test if Odin works
@Ticky-Nax
Odin fails to flash if the firmware isn't the right one for your phone or you've got a bad download.
Look on the backside of your phone. There's some text. Search for something like SM-G925 and another letter behind it. Now visit http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and insert exactly the modelnumber from your back. Now search for a firmware from the Netherlands and download it. Last of all you need to flash it again with Odin and it should work.
@mattan1999's method won't work because you killed your bootloader I guess. This means you really have to reflash a stock firmware with Odin
I hope this helps a bit
