[HELP] Bricked S4 19505

I was playing with my S4 today and I saw this thread on xda regarding Android 4.3 firmware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272
Being cheeky, I decided to install it on my S4. Before I did anything, I backed up my device and transferred the backup from my sd card to my computer so that I have enough space. I then placed the .zip file into my S4 folder and wiped all data, clear cache and proceed to install it. I didnt remember if I clicked Disable Recovery Flash or not. heh After that, I waited for 1 hr but my S4 is stuck at the google startup screen with occasional vibrations of the phone. I tried going to recovery mode and resetted everything, including formatting my card, and hence, losing the .zip file of the custom google edition 4.3 firmware. I dont have anything to reset it coz my whole S4 is empty. So I decided to use Odin and downloaded the international mtar file, but this appeared.

make sure kies is unloaded it will interrupt odin
(stop all services and processes in task manager)

Odin troubleshooting: If Odin accidentally gives you "fail" try the following:
- Repeat procedure.
- Make sure that all actions of Kies are disabled from task manager.
- Change usb port.
- Try another usb cable (make sure it is the original).
- Try another Odin version.
- Uninstall and re-install driver.
- Use pit file.
- Try another computer.

WHat do you mean use a .pit file? Still doesnt wotk..

[Q] Firmware upgrade encountered an issue (only DL mode working)

Hello everybody
I've a great problem with my samsung galaxy s4 (i9505).
Today i buyed a new sdcard for my phone. I thought it would be a good idea to do a real clean up.
So i flashed the samsung stock recovery, stock kernel and the stock rom (from SAMMOBILE) . Worked perfectly.
Afterwards, i flashed the newest cwm recovery (6.0.4.7 touch). Worked again.
Copied my rom (aosb = android open source bam project) to the external sdcard.
I removed the external card and went to the mounts and storage entry.
Now the part, that hardly failed:
I wiped everything (every point under mounts), incl. /firmware and another point with /firmware (I think it was /firmware_dmm or something like this)
At least, i wiped the external sdcard. Because there was no, the recovery crashed (...) and rebooted.
Now i get this error: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
If i flash something over ODIN (stock recovery, stock rom, custom recovery or custom rom) it ends up in a "FAIL".

KIES doesnt find my device, but i already installed the newest samsung usb driver.
So i can't use the emergeny firmware "reset" of KIES.
If i start the phone normaly, the above error appears. Same, if i boot into recovery.
The only working thing is the downloading mode....
I also removed the battery for 15 minutes. But that changed nothing.
What can i do to "repair" my phone? Is it bricked?`
Thank you for reading
(Cant insert links to roms or images because of low post counter)

1. Reflash the firmware that u installed b4.
2. Flash TWRP or PhilzTouch using ODIN.

Help! I may have bricked my phone!

I was trying out this rom(my first)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60178468&postcount=9684
and now it won't reboot.
BACKUP your data to external storage
REMOVE external SD card
DOWNLOAD N900V_JasmineROM_v5.0.zip to internal storage & CHECK MD5
REBOOT to Safestrap recovery
DELETE all ROM slots & make Stock Slot active
WIPE everything (system/data/cache/dalvic)
FLASH N900V_JasmineROM_v5.0.zip - BE PATIENT !
MAKE SURE THE ABOVE STEP HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULY COMPLETED !
REBOOT to Download mode
DOWNLOAD N900VVRUEOB6_PartialFirmware.tar.md5.7z to your PC & CHECK MD5
EXTRACT N900VVRUEOB6_PartialFirmware.tar.md5 using 7-Zip
FLASH N900VVRUEOB6_PartialFirmware.tar.md5 via Odin in AP slot
REBOOT to Stock recovery (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Up)
RESET factory by selecting "wipe data/factory reset"
REBOOT to System & Enjoy!
I followed these directions except for when I got to "DELETE all ROM slots & make Stock Slot active" it wouldn't work so I googled how to use safestrap and I found I had to make a rom and make that active. So maybe that's where it went wrong. I don't know. Please help!
I can still get into system recovery but I'm not sure what to do.
My phone is the SM-N900v
I had android 4.4.2

Please help!

you cannot go back to 4.4.2 if you went with jasmine 5.0 you can not go back. either you find a work around trying to boot jasmine 5.0 or you go back to 4.4.4 and you will not have root cause there is no root method
did you install on stock rom slot when install jasmine?

Did you factory reset after flashing ?

need fix
Did you ever find a fix for this? I also had jasminerom installed on my Verizon note 3 and tried installing a KK rom and can't escape from a soft-brick. I am completely lost and can't find anything with a search.

There is no "fix"...you can not downgrade from 5.0 to anything except 4.4.4

[Q] Cannot install stock firmware - ODIN fail

All,
As I noted in another thread, when I worked on my wife's new Galaxy S5, I let it upgrade to Android 5.0, then rooted it, then made some mistakes while restoring apps via Titanium Backup. In order to undo those mistakes, I want to roll back to the beginning and start over. To that end, I have been trying to reinstall stock firmware on the phone but I keep running into the same problem:
Code:

Based on reading here and elsewhere, I have tried the following:
Factory reset the phone
Verified that USB debugging is enabled and that allow remote lock is disabled
Ran Odin as Administrator
Use different versions of Odin (have tried 1.3, 1.85, 3.07, and 3.09)
Tried different firmware versions
Reinstalled Samsung drivers
Tried different computers and different USB cables
Regardless of what I have tried, I keep getting the same error.
The phone still works - I can boot it, so it is not bricked. I was also able to successfully re-root the phone (using the CF Auto Root approach). Based on my reading, it seems that replacing the PIT file is a next step to try, but it also seems that this is a fast way to killing a phone, so I am hesitant to try.
The phone in question is a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5, SM-G900P. The kernel is currently Android 5.0, build version LRX21T.G900PVPU2B0D3. I would like to replace with with the stock 4.4.4 kernel (found here: http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS5/SM-G900P/G900PVPU1ANCB_G900PSPT1ANCB_SPR.zip). If replacing the PIT file is the next thing to try, can you please point me to the specific one to use? If not, can you suggest something else to try?
Thank you.

Same here
I'm having exactly the same issue. Trying to downgrade from BOD3 to kit kat 4.4.2 NE5 in order to unlock my S5 G900P.
Hope someone has a workaround for this.

Sorry dumb question, what did you use to root a 5.0 firmware? I thought towelroot only works on 4.4.2?

Starting with BOD3 u cant downgrade anymore
Hope this will work 4 u.....it worked on my G900P :
1. Install CWM with odin...Philz: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/G...2-klte.tar.md5
2. Download Galaxy S5 Rooted Stock ROMs and kernel, flashable zips, and copy to your SD card
3. Reboot in recovery ...wipe data/cache/dalvik....install the zips(kernel and rom)
4.Reboot to system and enjoy ur downgrade
thanks to bto001 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/general/solution-to-sim-unlock-od3-downgrade-t3128120

What finally worked was to install the same version of the stock firmware.

I bricked my Note because i didnt flash the kernel :(

Hey guys,
i tried to flash my note 4 using the openrecovery method
but i forgot to flash the kernel and now my phone is stuck in the booting at the Samsung symbol. Can someone please help? i can still get into the download mode
Thank you!!!

If you can access download mode, your phone is not bricked.
Simply download last firmware for your model from sammobile, and flash it with odin...

ok thanks, will do.
But how do I safely root the note 4 5.1.1? CF-Autoroot isnt compatible

Ok, I just finished download a stock rom for my phone (.tar.zip) but when I click start in Odin it always fails for some reason...<ID:0/003> Can't open the serial(COM) port.
Edit: tried a different port now it fails at:
<ID:0/003> sboot.bin
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003> FAIL!
What can I do?
Does upgrading via Kies will result in losing all data?

I'm working on this issue for hours now but I'm stuck
Using Odin it will fail at sboot.bin
And kies doesnt recognize my note 4

Restore your backup in recovery

What is your exact model, G or F, what? You download the ROM from sammobile with your exact model no., and then flash.

It's N910H
I resolved it by recovering my phone via Kies though I lost all my data
Then I tried to install Xposed framework and now it's stuck in the bootloop again ...........

Never heard about the H version before! Anyway, make sure you are flashing the correct Xposed, that is Wanam's, but Arter's, and read the installation instructions closely.

Please, search before flash.
