[Q] Cannot flash Galaxy S4 GT-I9502?

Hey Guys,
I am trying to return a Galaxy S4 Duos GT-I9502 back to stock, for someone who attempted to root the device, which failed. I am however experiencing some difficulty doing so, and would appreciate some help, if anyone has any suggestions.
This is the screen on the device:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I am able to put the device into download mode, though I keep getting this error message when I try flashing the device in Odin.
"Complete(Write) operation failed."
When attempting to flash the device, it quickly goes through boot.img, recovery.img and system.img (when it should take longer for each step, and you should see the little green progress bar move), before failing. Does this mean that Odin is having issues writing to the device?
I am pretty confident that I have the correct Samsung drivers installed, and I have tried completely closing all of the Samsung Kies processes on the computer. I have even tried using a different computer, and two different ROMs.
I have tried flashing the below ROMs:
I9502ZNUBMG2_I9502CHUBMG2_CHU
I9502ZNUAME3_I9502CHUAME3_CHU
I have also tried the 'Firmware upgrade and initialization' option in Samsung Kies, though I keep on getting this error message, before it closes (I do not know what it says, Google translate doesn't give a good translation).
"Binary files are not registered U.S. Congress gyeongmu mouth mid-sprocket
Bow can proceed
Please check the binary file registration myeobu"
Does anyone have any suggestion / idea of what is going wrong? Any help would be highly appreciated!

Never mind, I was able to resolve the issue by re-flashing CWM recovery!

same problem
i have exactly same problem with I9502ZNUBMH4 version , does anyone know how to flash this device because i tried 100 time with different versions of odin , and every time i failed repaird it with cwm .
oh and the device won`t do a full wipe , every time i full wiped it my files didn`t deleted ?!

Samsung S4 GT-I9502 root / flash failed - HELP
Hey Guys,
I tried to root my Samsung S4 GT-I9502 (OS Android 4.3), for that I found this website:
http://marrkdaviid.com/2013/08/fix-caller-id-install-google-play-on-the-galaxy-s4-i9502/
But it failed (see more Information below) and I had the following error message and no wifi.
"Complete(Write) operation failed."
When attempting to flash the device, it quickly goes through boot.img, recovery.img and system.img (when it should take longer for each step, and you should see the little green progress bar move), before failing. Does this mean that Odin is having issues writing to the device?
I live in China and I just bought the phone, I needed 5 days to download the necessary files, because most download pages are blocked in China. So I am loosing my last nerve right now.
I am pretty confident that I have the correct Samsung drivers installed. I don’t have Samsung Kies installed. I have even tried using a different computer (Laptops), and two different ROMs.
I have tried flashing the below ROMs:
I9502ZNUCMG2_I9502CHUCMG2_I9502ZNUCMG2_HOME.tar.md5
I9502ZNUEMK3_I9502CHUEMK3_I9502ZNUEMK3_SVA.tar.md5
Someone with a the same problem tried the 'Firmware upgrade and initialization' option in Samsung Kies, but it didn’t work, so I didn’t try. (Here the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382979)
Instead I tried a recovery. I used Odin 3.07 and the following file:
i9502-cwm-recovery.tar.md5
I got my phone back to work for a while, I reset the phone, just in case. But know I can’t switch the Wifi on and the phone wants to Reboot.
So I allowed the phone to Reboot, I clicked on “reboot system now” and then on “Yes – (I forgot what was written behind the Yes, but I didn’t just click on the normal Yes, I clicked on the Yes - …)
The problem here: The Phone changed to a China Unicom Screen and stayed like that. After 5 h I took the battery out, but I couldn’t restart the phone.
So I did an cwm recovery and know I am afraid to reboot. The Wifi is not working and I can’t find any information about how to fix it.
So please help me. Do I reboot? Can I already install SVA ROM, although I couldn’t flash the Stock Firmware? Do I send the phone back and give up?
Please let me know if you need any other information to be able to help me.
PS: This is the first time that I flash a smart phone. And although I already spent several days now, searching the internet for how-to-dos, tips & tricks, guidelines, Q&As and god knows what, I still do not fully understand what exactly I am doing here. Hence, I would be very happy to receive somewhat easy understandable answers.
Thank you so much for your help!

Philz 6.00.2
I have a similar problem.
I tried to install philz _touch_6.00.2-i9505.tar, by uisng Odin 3.09
Everything went OK. I got PASS! and my Samsung S4 i9505 rebooted into the stock ROM
However I cannot enter Philz. I tried to keep pressed volume Up + Home + Power but the phone goes immediately into the main Samsung screen. I have tried many combinations...the only working combination is:
volume Down + Home + Power > which leads to download mode (for Odin)
Thank you for your suggestions!

[SM-G9008W] Stuck at Samsung Logo

I created an account here because I need all your help and I've been crawling all over the internet, but I cannot find anything for my problem.
Whenever I charge my phone, I turn it off, shut it off to be exact so that it charges faster. One morning, I woke up and I booted it up, but it won't get past the Samsung logo. It will stay like that for a while, then it will vibrate and will appear at the same screen again. Also, whenever I put the battery on, a green LED will stay on even though the phone is still not on. I cannot access recovery mode, only download mode. My phone is rooted. It has been once submerged in water but no problems. No custom ROMS, but there is a custom recovery that is INACCESSIBLE. I badly need all your help since it makes me feel bad having a $600 paperweight. I have tried leaving the battery out for weeks and almost a month now. Ask me anything and I will try to answer with what I know.
Thank you and I hope for the best. (Cause it made me really sad. :crying,
Robert

I cannot access recovery mode. It says "recovery mode is not seandroid enforced" or something similar, then the screen freezes and returns to its original Samsung logo. The process goes on forever.

Yea, so flash a stock ROM first...

Actually my support effort was perfectly adequate, if OP had read and followed the instructions I provided in my first post
I don't enjoy having to post the same thing twice, especially if OP won't even read it once, hence my shortened 2nd post

My J530F is stuck on Factory Binary mode due to sabotaging the FRP Google bypass.

Hello everyone,
Hope you're having a nice day,
So I Factory Reset my SM-J530F.
When I enter from scratch, it says that I have to write my previous Google Account that was synced to the phone, which I completely forgot.
So I try these FRP bypass methods on YouTube.
Basically these are the steps I followed:
1) Turn off my phone
2) Access the Download mode
3) Sync my phone with my computer
4) Odin: I'd already downloaded the COMBINATION_FAC_FA70 MD5 file (for my model), and this 4-file patch that included the AP, BL, CP, CSC_OLB files (Which I later noticed that they had J530YDXU1AQ written on their descriptions instead of J530FXXU1AQ which is my model, but I thought that it's not too important)
5) I flash with the COMBINATION file. It succeeds.
6) Phone goes to Factory Binary mode.
7) I go to Settings, then Developer Options and I enable OEM Unlocking.
8) Switch off the phone, then back to Download mode
9) Now, I try to flash with the AP, BL, CP, CSC files... and it FAILS. I forgot what it exactly said in the Log since I closed the Odin window, but something about Secure fail : Bootloader.
Now, what I meant by "sabotaging" is that I attempted this so many times, but no results. To the point where I can no longer reboot my phone to its normal "Welcome, choose a language" interface since it's now stuck in Factory/Binary mode.
I noticed one more thing: the OEM Unlocking enable/disable button is sort of freezed (I can't either enable or disable)

I apologize if this was too much details. I'm clueless whether I completely damaged my phone and there is no chance to take it back to its normal state. What do I do? Any options to just repair it from scratch and also bypass the FRP Google Account while I'm at it?

T550 Hard Bricked QHSUSB_BULK

Hi everyone,
I have a Galaxy Tab A 9.7 T550 that seems hard-bricked. No visible (or audible) sign of life when trying to power on. Device does charge (checked with USB ammeter and voltmeter at battery). When plugging into computer it shows up as QHSUSB_BULK.
I did some searching and it seems that sometimes devices in this state can still boot directly from an SD card with proper partition structure on it. However, I couldn't find an image from a working T550. Does someone still have a T550 lying around from which they could provide me with a dump of the emmc to try?
Or any other suggestions are welcome too!
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE:
I managed to get QPST up and running and the tablet seems to be recognized properly by it. However, also for it I couldn't find an image file that I can flash. If anybody has one lmk
UPDATE 2:
I realize I should've included some more information so here is some more:
I tried using Odin to flash a stock firmware but the device won't boot into download mode, recovery, or regular OS. When plugging it into a computer it is not recognized by Odin.
It is recognized in QPST as "Q/QCP-XXX (Sahara Download)" (see pic below).
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However, it only allows me to select an AP image for download, the BL option doesn't seem to be working, the buttons don't give any reaction. Also, QPST wants one of .hex, .hxb, .pbn, .bin, or .mbn file. I did try simply flashing the Odin AP .tar.md5 in QPST but it recognizes it as invalid. I did notice that various system images can be extracted from the Odin flashable firmware files, including some .mbn files. However, the AP file for Odin yields only the following:
boot.img
modem.bin
persist.img.ext4
recovery.img
system.img.ext4
These don't seem to be correct for flashing through QPST.
The Odin BL file yields
aboot.mbn
hyp.mbn
NON-HLOS.bin
rpm.mbn
sbl1.mbn
sec.dat
tz.mbn
These look promising, only the BL option in QPST still doesn't work for me.
I also did read about using an XML file in QFIL to flash specific images to specific partitions on the device. I found an example XML here but I don't know the partition IDs the images need to go to.
The other idea with an SD card I think could also still work (along the lines of this or this). But I would need a debrick image to write to an SD card.
So yeah, I don't think there's a high chance of being able to revive the device, simply because the correct firmware files aren't (easily) accessible. But if anybody has any wisdom to share on it let me know.
Thanks in advance and enjoy your day!

First, you didn't search for a ROM obviously since the first google result is this.
Second, you don't use QPST with samsung devices, you use ODIN.
Third, since you lack the skills to deal with this I'd recommend sending it to a professional, however if you insist on fixing it yourself.
Then follow this guide. Specifically the second method, and don't download that scam tool in the third method.
On a side note: Learn how to search, it will save yours and others time.
Goodluck.

Thanks for your reply!
Sorry I should've said this earlier but I had tried flashing with Odin. The problem is that Odin won't recognize the device (and yes I do have the drivers installed).
For me, it's not really worth sending to a professional so I thought I'd try myself.
I should've really included more information in the first post, so I'll add some more there now.

So you can't even boot to download mode? Maybe charge your phone for 10 mins or more, or try to boot by connecting the phone while pressing both volume buttons.
If you still fail to boot into download mode, then take it to a service center. No one can help you except them.

Exactly! Tried both and no success. I guess you're right, I won't be able to fix it.
But thanks for your help!
