N910F problems

Sooo it's about 3 days that I'm having problems with my Samsung Note 4.
The phone is about 6 months old and I tried to root it when I bought it without success, so I put the original firmware again (As after successful (or insuccessful?) rooting the phone keept bootlooping all the time). With a few tricks (that I cant remember) i made it working again.
3 days ago I was charging the phone while browsing on google chrome and the phone suddenly turned off and went in a bootloop. I tried installing the original firmware again (Odin says "PASS!" at the end of the process) but it still wont go work. Tried to wipe cache and data, still nothing. Samsung Kies wont recognize my phone to do an emergency recovery.
Another strange thing is that I can enter in download mode but not in recovery mode.
"ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)

That's what it says in download mode and have no idea what it means.

I9506 problem after trying to root and flash Soft brick

Hello,
I'm having a bad issue with my phone. GS4 gt i9506 norwegian version... I have downloaded the I9506XXUBML6 stock firmware and lollipop version for the phone trying to get it working again. DL mode says:
ODIN MODE
Product name: gt-i9506
current binary: Samsung official
system status: official
Knox kernel lock: 0x0
Knox warranty void: 0x1
Qualcomm secureboot: enable
Rp Swrev: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1

When in odin and trying to put in firmware it just gets stuck.
Problems started after using auto root.
Most likely you will need more information
Thanks in advance

can you post the log of odin?
also when flashing with odin tar.md5 you need to wait like 3 or 4 minutes depends on your pc in order to start flashing.

Hello again,
I actually fixed the phone already so I will only tell what I did. The log file abruptly ended in the middle transiting data. No error. This led me to believe:
a) error with the file (wrong image?)
b) problem with usb port or cord
B was easier to solve. First went through all the ports on my laptop. All 3 of them. No change. Then changed the cord to a new one(newer). Neither of these worked so I asked my gf to nicely lend her desktop with marvelous 9 usb ports. :angel: Moved files to usb stick (thank you usb3) with odin in it too(so I will know whether it's a or b) Downloaded samsung drivers.
Phone connected. Files moved to D. Odin start. Connection! AP selected. Wait 15 min and come back. Phone is working. OTA lollipop incoming.
Thank you for your quick reply,
Hope this post will help someone else

Odin mode says Custom, Settings says Official?

Hi guys. Like a bunch of other threads around here, my Note 4 (N910F) was pretty much the perfect device until about 4 days ago at which point it started rebooting a lot. At first I suspected an app update to be corrupt or something and the cause of this, so I cleared cache, but no joy. It also then began to hang whilst booting on occasion, so I did a factory reset. No joy. Since then things have gotten worse, occasionally it will boot into recovery mode, sometimes it'll say it's in download mode etc. I've had a screen when it bumped me into Odin Mode that said mmc_read failed. I've had kernel panics where it complained about EXT4-fs throwing errors. Okay, so the internal storage has gone bad, I understand that. It's 22 months old, has a 24 month warranty.
However... as per the thread title, when I get into Odin mode, it says:
Code:
Could not do normal boot.
ddi : mmc_read failed
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N910F

Do not turn off target!!
Thing is, I've never rooted this phone. I've never installed anything but OTA firmwares. I've considered it certainly, but there was just no need to like there was in past generations. I've never installed any cracked apps. On the occasions when I can get the phone to boot, and go to Settings > About Device > Status, it tells me that it's official. So why is Odin saying it's Custom? And are Samsung going to refuse a warranty repair because of this? I'm also not entirely clear on what System Status in Odin reflects. Is it meant to be the current firmware, or is it a lifetime counter that says whether it's ever had another firmware on it. The thing that puzzles me is that I got the phone new and I really, really mean it when I say it's always been stock and official. My baseless theory is that if it can't boot, it can't read some blocks so can't properly hash the filesystem, hence saying it's custom. On occasions where it can boot, it can read those blocks and can complete some kind of hash.
I just want to get it fixed, but I suspect I'm not going to get them to fix it under warranty.
Any thoughts?
EDIT:
It just occurred to me that at no point had I deliberately gone into download mode myself, I'd only ever been in it when it couldn't boot. So I tried it. This is what it shows:
Code:
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N910F

This kind of backs up my theory that the "system status: custom" bit is coming from it not being able to read blocks on the eMMC when it starts.

Galaxy J500FN bricked. Last attempt before throwing it out.

Hi there,
I wanted to put Cyanogenmod on an J500FN and went straight to Odin without enabling developer options Why? Bc I am dumb.
Since Odin failed I cant even get into recovery mode. Can't enter a password. Can't do anything, really.
Normal start and Recovery Mode start result in the screen showing the Android logo and then turning yellow/green before fading to black.
Download mode is working. I tried Kies, Smart Switch, Odin. Each time it fails and a read line on the phone appears ("Mom Mode. Can't Download"). Using stock firmware from Sammobile results in the same outcome.
Download mode says:

FRP Lock: Off
WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
RP SWREV: S1, T1, H1 R1, A1, P1
Secure Download: Enable
MOM MODE. CAN'T DOWNLOAD (<--- Added in red each time Odin fails)
Is the phone toast?
Thanks!

1.Try doing wipe data before flashing the firmware.
2.Try flashing Stock LP firmware.
3.Try to flash using Heimdall, which doesn't have some restrictions that Odin has.
4.Nand erase all option in odin might help a bit.
5.If none of these works i guess you need to flash the device using Z3x box or jtag. Go ye visit a samsung service and hopefully they manage to fix your problem.

My bad didnt read your full post.

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions
I have tried everything I could think of and read about. Unfortunately, there was no debrick image for the model I need.
Ultimately, after days of extensive searching and trying, I give up at this point.
Either way, great forum, and thanks again for all the comments!
