unable to install firmware using odin - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi
my galaxy note 4 sm-n910g had a recent motherboard change through Samsung service. after about a month when I tried to update firmware it was not being completed and showed a message that I should approach service centre, I installed update myself using smartswitch. after about a week phone was not working and showed a message warranty bit kernel at top. I tried many ways to install firmware using kies, smartswitch and odin. oneclick root, cwm etc were installed and odin showed green pass. but firmware cannot be installed with any version of odin, I used odin 3.09, 3.10, 3.10.7, 3.12.3 etc. full copying is shown with odin 3.12.3 but fail at end and phone shows message 'secure check fail- modem'. service centre people say I have to change motherboard again. can I do anything to resolve this problem.

Maybe ? The motherboard they put in wasn't a "G" and the tars your trying to flash aren't working???

[Q] Updated to KNOX, can't restore with KIES or ODIN, soft brick??

Hi guys
Sorry this is my first post and it will be a bit long but I've searched everywhere, absolutely everywhere with no luck at all.
So tonight I originally tried to update my MODEM to a Telstra one, and I flashed it via ODIN.
The ODIN flash failed and I stupidly pulled the phone out, and it gave me the dreaded
PHONE-----YELLOW TRIANGLE----- COMPUTER
'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
I tried flashing a 4.3 KNOX stock rom later on (I realised it was a big mistake), that failed in ODIN as well
I have also tried re-partitioning with a PIT file as well via ODIN but it doesn't really help
ODIN keeps hanging on the "system" flashing command and goes to a red "fail". It won't start flashing "system.ext4.... etc"
I've tried all versions of ODIN and all version of 4.3
I can't use any 4.2.2 roms as the phone only seems to accept 4.3 stock roms now.
I've also tried KIES, but KIES will not recognise my phone, and ODIN hangs at 'system.ext4...' (can't remember, something similar, definitely said system)
So I have a completely bricked phone now... I can only get into TEAMWIN recovery but it won't connect to USB at all.
I absolutely can't flash anything with it failing in ODIN and KIES won't recognise my phone. I've put it in 'download mode' as well..
I've also tried flashing roms through TEAMWIN/CWM recovery but it instantly fails.
Are there any options open to me? I'm really scared that I have an expensive paperweight....

Try another usb port (recommended: back of the computer)
and flash again via Odin stock base rom 4.3
P.S: I was getting the similar problem you have. another usb port helped me

Thanks Yeah I've tried that, I've tried front, back, on a laptop, but Odin still red fails at the writing 'System' (the largest 'chunk' of the tar.md5 file) no matter which 4.3 rom I try
I so upset :crying:

Hello,
For my part, I also encountered problems! the only rom that is passed via ODIN after testing 5 other is:
I9505XXUAMDF_I9505PHNAMD8_PHN
But if Knox! possible that this does not happen either?
*************
For me I do:
1 - Flash with Odin Pit
2 - Flash with ODIN last recovery philz_touch_5.15.8-i9505.zip
3 - Wip full recovery for new rom
4 - Flash the I9505XXUAMDF_I9505PHNAMD8_PHN
And then this happened.

I thought with the official 4.3 new bootloader, we cant downgrade to 4.2.2.
Try another Odin version or extract the .tar file via Winrar (rename it from .tar.md5 to .tar if your file ending at .tar.md5) and flash the system.img.ext4 via this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333807 see if you getting error with this tool while flashing the system.img.ext4
and then try to flash again with odin
P.S. While flashing via Odin kill in Task Manager Kies and related process and flash again

Hey Bordo
Thankyou so much for your suggestion - I will try the individual component flasher later tonight and then write back on what happens
I will also remember to kill Kies with task manager beforehand, before using ODIN or any other flasher :good:
Thankyou so much for your time and effort in trying to help!!!! Much appreciated

Btu note 4 won't update

Hi guys my n910f freshly out of the box said there was a 80mb or so update. It downloads it fine boots to recovery and the fails to install it and says there was an error and restarts, boots to home screen. There its says send report and use kies I tried this but it also fails with unknown error.
Current firmware is N910FXXU1ANIE
Any help appreciated
Okay.... I'm obviously the only one to suffer this issue.
Do you guys think it safe to odin a firmware, i'm thinking I might have a corrupted system as neither ota or kies updates install, both download but error on install.
Thoughts please

[Q] S5 SM_G900F lollipopXXU1BNL9 TWRP install fail

Please help!!!!
I have a SM-G900F S5.
Just updated to XXU1BNL9 Lollipop.
Not clean install, I upgraded it. All official releases from Sammobile, done with Odin 3.09.
Upgrade went all ok, fine, up & running.
Tried to install TWRP 2.8.4.0, also with Odin 3.09
10/10 times it fails with write error.
Any ideas???
Would like to root my phone, so this first step would be really necessary!
Thx!
I fixed Odin fail with a pit file...
Download pit fie for your device...
Open Odin... Flash firmware
When Odin fail... Unplug cable... Plug it back... Uncheck that box with pda (and leave it there) ... Load pit file... And hit start even if the error is still there... After U hit start button It should finish and auto reboot
I USED THIS METHOD JUST FOR FIRMWARE FAIL... I DON'T KNOW IT WILL WORK WITH CWM FAIL in Odin
Also... You should try to download again twrp... Or another source... Version... Etc im sure that the error it's because of the cwm file

Thx for the ideas, I will try them.
I tried to unplug-replug cable, download other TWRP, also from different sources.
Seems as if it was some writing authentication issue of some kind - but no idea, why.

I tried everything else expect the pit file.
I did not find a pit file for the XXU1BNL9 version.
Also, I did not find ClockworkMod for Lollipop, only for 4.4.x
So, I triedTWRP 2.8.1.0 and 2.8.4.0 - both ending the same way: The recover flashing starts with Odin, and then it is almost immadiately fails with some write problem. It seems as if the recovery tar.md5 is not compatibl with the ROM version, or as if some mysterious Samsung protection would reject the recovery flash.
Strange thing is, that all forums (e.g. droidviews, ibtimes, xda, etc.) give a description about rooting this ROM, and not even one mentiones any phenomenon like this.

Galaxy s7 Edge bootloop

Hello all,
I recently had to factory reset my phone to bring it in for a screen problem, I used SU to fully unroot & my phone has been stuck in a bootloop since. I have tried to reflash the stock rom, but Odin version 3.09 is getting stuck at setup connection, I have also tried using a .pit file but Odin get stuck at nand flash write or something similar.
I have a Galaxy s7 Edge BTU, all the files are for BTU region, I have also flashed back to stock on many galaxy S range phones. Just don't know what is going wrong.
Things I've tried
Odin 3.09
Odin 3.12.3
Different USB ports
Different USB Cables
Reinstalled USB drivers
I have used the 4 files from the stock firmware.zip
I also used a .pit file for EUR HERO2LTE_EUR_OPEN_SAMFIRM.NET.pit (Used along with the 4 firmware files)
I normally just use the 4 files on my previous phones & all was well.
Can someone please help.
EDIT: I managed to get into recovery & mount usb storage, I put a custom rom on the phone & flashed it. It fixed the partition issues & booted up, I then flashed stock everything using Odin.
You need Odin 3.11.1.
