[Q] Updated - Pseudo Bricked my epic

Screen shows a picture of a cell phone and a computer with a yellow triangle.
Any way to get Odin to pick up on this to load the stock image back?

Yes, odin will work. Iv bricked my atleast 4 times.

Can you give me an idea how? I can't get into any other screen except this all black one with a white phone, yellow triangle, and white computer...I'm lost on this one - I never had an issue so far and this is my 3rd rooted android phone. I am far from noob.

Yep, got that screen a few times when first learning the in's and out of this phone.
Hold the #1 key on the slide out keyboard and press power to get into download mode. Use Odin to flash to stock and try again.

Ok - ODIN is giving me:

What gives here? This is my first samsung, so ODIN is new to me.

Well, ODIN gets to "File analysis" now and just sits there.
Any other ideas?

Odin is now sitting at <ID:0/010> param.lfs
hasn't moved in 4 or 5 minutes....worrying me.

Well since you're not a noob, then I probably don't need to tell you that you should have odin open and ready, then plug the phone in, and THEN boot into download mode. In that order. you need to boot the phone into d/l mode before it starts charging once its plugged in. good luck.

HOW did you get it working? Inquiring minds want to know.

[Q] Another soft brick problem...

I am sorry if this has been asked and answered, I've been searching the forum board for 4.5 hours trying to find the answer or some sort of point in the right direction. If you know the thread to answer my question, please don't flame me, just point it out...
With that said...
I attempted to upgrade my epic 4G from EB13 to EC05 last night. I did this with Odin3, everything said it passed no problem. Yet, it did not work. It would get to the Samsung screen then vibrate, pause, vibrate, pause, then nothing, just stayed there.
I followed the directions to flash the original EB13 that was on the phone to begin with. I followed the directions exactly, Odin failed, big surprise right? Now, Odin simply verified the MD5 said it was good and stopped. Now my phone just gets the 'phone-!-computer' icon, I can still boot into the downloading screen, but am unable to get Odin to do anything, am I missing something, or is there anything I can do to remedy this?

OK, I just tried the Samsung updater for eb13 and it failed at param.lfs
I am befuddled...

Try downloading the tar file for odin again and see ifthat works u might have a bad tar file

It's worth a try but the Samsung updater has it's own tar already. I think the answer he's looking for is in the Wiki.

I've searched through the wiki. Am I missing something? I find the root/recovery programs, they all say how to root, but I am not finding how to recover. for example, "One Click Root and Recovery", even though I cannot boot my phone, will it still recover? I tried it in the download screen, but it does not connect. How do I use these to recover?

I tried redownloading the tar again, SPH-D700-EB13-8Gb-REL.tar.md5, but I get the same result, Odin checks the file says it's OK then stops doing anything.
Am I using the incorrect tar? is there a tar that's not an MD5?

Are you using your stock samsung cable?

From the Wiki-
"If you get a FAILED error after it writes "param.lfs", try this method:
1. Reboot the phone and reset Odin
2. Load the pit file and place the tar in the Phone section
3. Start the recovery
4. The process will hang while writing "factoryfs.rfs"
5. Reboot the phone and reset Odin
6. Load the pit file, place the tar in the PDA section, and start the recovery again
7. It should now complete in about 3 mins.
8. Congratulations! Thank noobnl
If that doesn't work, take out the battery and reboot into download mode with only the usb cord plugged in."

This right here, The tar will be tar.md5, simply remove the .md5 from the end and try it.
Odin gives me problems on certain PCs too, if you have another computer, give that a go.

Yes I am in download mode, yellow work sign with digging android, "Downloading... Do not turn off Target.
Also yes, to placing the tar under PDA and using the stock cable, plugged directly into a directly soldered motherboard USB port

I am waiting for the tar to redownload, as soon as it does, I'll remove the .md5 extension.
I was trying to bonsai, that's how I got all screwed up.

Well....that didn't work.
Trying it now with the victory pit, and th eb13 tar. without the .md5 extension.

How did the phone shut off with a USB cable plugged in it? That makes no sense unless you have a really really bad cable.

I was just reading a post in which the user had used odin to put on d18 and he had no issue. Would this be detrimental to my phone since I started with eb13?
Do I need a different pit file instead of the victory_8G_100528.pit?
This is my first Android, been a Palm guy for years, but after my pre problems, I made the change. Theoretically going to older version shouldn't hurt, but I wanted to be sure.
One last thing, I seem to currently be getting to the datafs and nothing seems to happen after that, it's been about 10 minutes in this state, normal?
Thanks all for the help and assistance so far! it is much appreciated.

no idea how it shut off, it was on download screen, then black. took out battery, set back into downloading mode (#1 and power), now back at the datafs point, waiting...
oh, and the cable is brand new, using my wifes cable from her two day old epic.

Phone is working fine, but Odin says "There is no PIT partition" when I try to flash.

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?

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.

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:

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

[please help] galaxy s5 firmware issue!

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:

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

[Kernel is not Seandroid Enforcing] bootloop

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

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)

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.

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.

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
