I have been trying to get this to work using several of the stock roms, from pb5 to pg5, which is what my phone was running. It continually errors out with [system] Fused 3 > binary 1 on the phone. If I try and reboot now it tells me that a software update failed and that I need to use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant to fix it, but I cannot find this software anywhere. The guides given say to get it from the phone but that requires it to be powered on.

Had the same issue and it told me that I have to use Smart Switch.
Only push Volume down power and home button and hold it until you're in the download mode again and flash

Hi,
I've got my good old 9505 I bought right at release on which the Volume UP button (or more likely whatever hardware it's connected to, as the button itself works perfectly normally) has become stuck pressed.
That causes a little problem - I can't enter Download mode anymore (Normal power up enters recovery due to the stuck key, Vol Down cancels Recovery and boots normally).
I had a custom ROM and recovery on it, and in order to send it for repair I obviously want to put it back to stock status, so I have reflashed a stock MI8 image I found using ODIN, using the custom recovery's "Reboot in Download mode" command.
Now the problem is I have bad luck and likely had an incompatible modem, and after booting even with cache/data wiped I have the Samsung keyboard crashing constantly and WiFi won't work.
Of course restoring the stock image wiped my custom recovery, so I can't use the same trick to get back into Download mode and reflash another modem.
I can't use Mobile ODIN or reboot menus with a "Reboot Download" option, as those requires root, but... rooting needs Download mode.
I can connect to Kies, but for my region it unfortunately says the current ROM is already the latest.
Does someone have an idea I didn't think about?
is there a way to reboot to download mode via usb debugging?/adb shell or something like that?
I found something that suggested it, however while I've painfully been able to go enable USB debugging (with the UI that locks and the "Samsung Keyboard has stopped" messages that appear between nearly every tap) adb devices returns nothing. Maybe the same issues cause debugging to fail too...
make sure that all instances of kies are stopped and also try reinstalling the drivers?
OK, found an app called "Kingo Android Root" that works from the PC through adb, and managed to root it again. It took some time to connect, but once it did it went through the procedure OK.
Then I could transfer the apk for "Quick Boot" to the phone through MTP, and its reboot menu worked to reboot in Download mode
Got a new modem flashed, and WiFi is back. The Samsung keyboard is still crashing every 5 secs, but I'll just try reflashing the OS, never know...
now that you can get to download mode, you can just restore everything back to stock? no? should fix any fc's you're getting, unless they are related to the physical fault with the volume up button being stuck?
Yes, it's just a matter of finding the right stock ROM... :\
OK, the MKF ROM for my country I found here works perfectly fine.
Issue closed then, hope this will serve other people who might end up in a similar situation
Now to see how the service center reacts to a stock config but with Knox flag set...
good luck, and don't forget to let us know how you get on with the service centre/knox situation.
Good news, received my S4 after a one week turnaround (shipping included), and it was repaired under warranty even with the Knox bit set and me having dismantled it (thanks Sammy for not putting "warranty void" stickers, pretty much the first manufacturer I see who doesn't!)
I need help and have no idea where to go. My phone restarted randomly like it usually does but It got stuck on this screen

Sadly I had no backup for the device and am wondering if it's bricked. I can access the phone when I hold the power/ down volume/home button from time to time. I formatted the device hoping it would fix the issue. I managed to set up the device but I have to hold those specific buttons for it to work. Here are the device specs. I don't know what to do. I tried factory resetting it but with no luck. Every time i turn on the device I have to use that button order. I just have no idea what to do. I installed a stock rom via odin using this tutorial.

Edit: I have to hold volume down/home button/ power to turn it on which is quite annoying. I've never had this issue before. Is there a way to completely restore it to factory without having to do all this stuff? I tried doing it via recovery mode and in the phone itself. I get this screen https://cdn-images.xda-developers.com/direct/3/0/1/9/2/9/4/20120813002112.jpg
Which I usually get but then it goes straight to the odd recovery mode screen and not to the phone.
I found out something huge that might help! My volume up key isn't working so I'm assuming it's booting it straight into recovery mode for that reason. I read on a few sites saying I need the device repaired! I'm almost 100% sure thats the issue but correct me if im wrong. The volume up wont work at all.

The youtube video you mentioned was about how to root the i337. The video did not mentioned anything about stock rom installation via odin.
The video shows to install the nc1 kernel, then use the towel root to root and then install the NJ4 kernel back to work with system.
It appears that your system messed-up in installing the kernel.
You need to install the full firmware via odin. There is only one full firmware available for kit-kat. It is NB1 firmware with NC1 kernel cooked by muniz_ri. You can download the firmware from here.
Unrar the firmware and you will get .md5 file. Put your phone to download mode, load the .md5 file to AP slot of the odin and flash it.
If you have problem in flashing odin show the screen shot of odin error.
Once your phone is running fine, you can use towel root to root the phone. If you want to upgrade to NJ4 I will show you the direction then.
basic rundown.....im rooted (was)..... today i made a phone call and ironically the xda app kept crashing and asking me to send a report....which i denied. Then it just kept popping back up, i then went to end the call and couldnt even access my "phone" app, i therefore restarted the phone. when it it booted back up, it was stuck on verizon boot logo, with a vibrate then double vibrate....but no advancement. I therefore accessed the factory reset, wiped my phone, and it booted successfully. However, the bare minimum apps were installed, not even a browser app, no chrome or anything...i therefore decided to return to stock following the odin/vzw files and encountered a major problem.....my phone wont accept the odin flash, i keep getting an error. my phone continues to boot into recovery and continuously fails odin flashes....any ideas???? my phone at the moment either gives me and update failed screen and to use the verizon update software or can enter "download" mode which then refuses to flash any stock image in odin.

Try using another version of odin, usb cable, etc...
I had a similar issue, I had to download the Software Upgrade Assistant tool from verizon to get it to work
I think this is the direct link you'll want
edit: if you put it in download mode, it should show up under repair, relevant link
Solved: the Verizon software repair assistant got me back up and running. Many thanks.
Dear XDA,
It's been a while, I used to have all sorts of fun with rooting and experimenting with new ROMs. Shamefully, I haven't done it in years.
I come now with a problem. My phone seems to have failed the most recent update pushed and started freezing, cycling, all sorts of nasties. Now, however, it automatically boots into Recovery and cannot boot out of it. If I do select a reboot it only accomplishes giving me the one line of "verifying dmverity hash tree" and then after about a minute the phone just shuts off. (update, I watched more closely this time and it verified the above and when it tried to reboot it shut off)
At this rate, there is little I can do. A look at the current software version shows that I am one update behind (I think they pushed a new one today/yesterday). Would applying that update from the SD work? I am on verizon with update
MMB29M.N910VVRS2CQC1
and the newest is
"" D1
Would downloading MMB29M.N910VVRS2CQD1 to my SD card allow me to apply the update? They don't appear to put any of the updates on an online repo anywhere that I can see. I would appreciate your advisement, I need to get back into the phone to move an app over with its current data at the very least.
Regards
Edit1: When I take the battery out for a bit and try to boot into safe mode by holding the volume down button, it still boots into recovery but also then goes to the android "Installing system update" for about a minute before going to the "No Command" screen and eventually the recovery mode.

Download suitable firmware using sammobile
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download odin
Open Odin
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button

I was messing around trying to root my phone. Now its stuck in the ODIN mode. Which is the necessary ODIN and stock firmware to flash it? Do all I need to do is load into ODIN using volume down home and power. And in ODIN, click AP and choose the tar file, and then start? Can someone link me the proper ODIN and AP file please? My phone is a brick. Im a retard noob. : ( lol. Im trying though. Any help is appreciated.
It says "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.
Using Samsung Switch
All hope is not lost. You may have done what I just did and tried to flash a root exploit inappropriate to you phone's firmware version. At this time, the latest factory firmware that you can revert to is rev02 (files with the string "G935TUVU4BQB1" in their name). If you're on the latest T-Mobile update, the you've got factory rev03 firmware, for which no online release is available. Basically, T-Mo users can't restore if we try to root and screw up. But don't panic yet. Hopefully you have a computer to install Samsung Switch on.
1) Download and install Switch, and start it up with your phone unplugged. When it shows the animation of connecting your phone, do so. It probably will list it as an unrecognised device, ignore that.
2)Next to the minimise button in the upper right, select "more", then "Emergency software recovery and initialization". Go to the second tab in the window that pops up, labeled "Device initialization". If you've got the T-Mobile version of the S7 Edge, your model number is SM-G935T (which I'm assuming since we're in the T-Mo subforum). If it rejects the model number, ensure that your internet connection is working; I experienced network issues at the same time and drove myself nuts for a few minutes.
3) It then asks for your device serial number. If you know that, great. Otherwise, unplug your device. Perform a safe reboot by holding Home+Volume Up+Power, and release when a blue screen comes up informing you that loading custom OSes is dangerous. At this point, push the Home key (which the phone should say leads to barcode). The barcode screen will have your serial number on it, write it down. Safe boot the phone again (Home+Volume Up+Power), but this time press Volume Up to get back to download mode. Go back to Switch, which reset itself when you power-cycled the device, go back to that "more" menu, to the second tab. Input your model again, followed by the serial you just wrote down.
4) At this point, Switch should start downloading a pretty big file. If it's anything like the size of the other factory firmwares I tried downloading (the rev02 ones that won't work, with the G935TUVU4BQB1 in the names), then it should be around 2GB. Wait for that to finish, and it'll start pushing it to the phone automatically. Afterward, your phone has been factory reset, and will ask you to sign in with a Google account that has been previously linked to it. This will most likely be the one you were using before you tried to root. From there, it's like doing the first time setup of a new phone.
Sorry my recommendation is a month late for you, I only just had the same problem tonight. We should have been on the same firmware version, though, so if you're still looking for a solution, then give this a go. Hopefully it also helps people who get stuck in a similar conundrum. Good luck!

Simply Odin stock and start over make sure partition is uncheckeded
same problem

do you have a option if the smart switch is not recognizing at all?

do you have a solution or alternative if the smart switch in not recognizing or do you have access to stock firmware been looking everywhere
