Bricked 531F after restore by Odin - Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was restoring my G531F to stock ROM using Odin when it suddenly failed while restoring hidden.img. From what I've read deleting hidden.img from tar.md5 fille will resolve this issue. Unfortunately after rebooting screen shows "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery in Kies & try again.".
* device is recognizable in Odin but gets stuck all the time on "establishing connection"
* Samsung Kiess does not recognize the device
* I'm unable to get into recovery
Any ideas?

If you can reboot in download mode, try to flash a stock rom with odin. it should work. that's how rom's must be flashed with odin, not in recovery mode.

do u have the drivers installed??? download a different stock firmware for your i9505.. and try two ,three firmwares if still failing,, you can get firmwares from http://www.samfirmware.com
and try to flash using Odin make sure your drivers are working also removing Kies if you have as it could interfere..
My device is currently stuck in a bootloop with:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
I've loaded up Kies and it sees my phone is there and tries to connect but will sit there for a few minutes and then says that I need to reboot the device (this doesn't help either, same every time).
I'm unable to boot my phone in to recovery mode. However I am able to boot into download mode. So I've tried flashing root and/or CWM onto it but it fails each time. As does trying to flash stock firmware (or so I believe that's what "I9505XXUBMEA_I9505OXABMEA_I9505XXUBMEA_HOME.t ar" is).
I've searched and found some people suggesting that I try and flash a stock ROM through Odin, but unable to find one in a .tar or .tar.md5 format
I'm completely stuck now and unsure what to do. Can somebody please help me out.

Thanks mate. Trying a different copy of the stock FW now.

[Q] Can't flash I9500 stock rom?

So here's a run down of what has happened:
1) My phone prompts me to upgrade to 4.3
2) Following the update, the phone boots but is unresponsive; (just keeps on saying that app has crashed)
3) Tried to go into recovery mode, but it didn't
4) Used the Kies Emergency Firmware Upgrade method but it stopped and said that an error has occured
5) Now my phone is in a state where booting brings me to an error message that says "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
I have already tried to use Odin to flash a stock rom onto it several times already. I used both 3.04 and 3.07 versions with the 4.22 ser and 4.3 ser roms and they have all failed at Nand write or Can't open the serial(COM) port. or etc.
I've been browsing the forums for a day now and no help. Do you guys have any suggestions?
(I can still enter download mode.)
Bump.
Does anyone have any alternative methods other than flashing stock with Odin until it works? I'm just getting fail messages

soft brick

I have a sprint sph-l720,
I flashed the latest ng2 modem via oden, then flashed the latest version of SuperS4 rom. Booted no problem except for no cell service. Reflashed modem via oden, it then hung for over 20 mins. did a battery pull. now I can ONLY get into download mode. otherwise it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I have tried recover in kies failed. When trying to flash new firmware in oden I get "There is no PIT partition" and it will do nothing. I cant seem to find a pit file that will work. I have been at this for a few hours no luck. Help PLEASE!:crying:

If so, try download the stock firmware and flash via Odin.

Need HelP - ODIN gets stucked while flashing

Hello guys,
I need extremely technical help as no longer know what to do.
I have a Galaxy S7 Edge device, which installed the rom BobCat and everything went well until then.
Later I decided to install another rom to test KingRom that left me unsatisfied, because I thought it had some bugs. Had the TWRP 3.0.0 recovery and decided to upgrade to 3.0.2, everything went well.
At one point I do not remember when or how if was when install back, downgrade to TWRP3.0.0, I do not remember if it was via Odin or TWRP, it happens that the installation stopped halfway. Then unplug the device, restarted in recovery mode and got the following message "E: falied to mount EFS (Invalid Argumen)", I could not restart the device (Boot Loop, and stucked at Samsung Logo) except in Recovery Mode, which also made to stay without IMEI number and Serial Number.
I googled until I came to this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-e...ssues-t3379516
I followed all the steps explained, I back up EFS_backup and RADIO_bakcup partitions.
Installed FACTORY BINARY G935, everything went well. After restarted, already had the correct IMEI number but still did not present the S / N.
After all that, i tried to install Stock Firmware via Odin, from here started the problems that could not solve.
In the first attempt Odin stucked in "System" (also used the PIT file with the same CSC ... .i do not know if I was right using PIT?). Restarted the device forcibly, entered the stock Recovery, did a complete wipe and always get this message "E: falied to mount System (Invalid argument), I returned to install Factory Binary, then reboot in Recovery and the same message no longer appeared.
Again I try to install the Stock Firmware and Odin always stucks in System, or NAND writing, or Partition, etc. I've tried various Stock Firmware, with and without PIT files, always without success.
Only Factory Binary that successfully installs. The TWRP via Odin also but when device restarts to enter Recovery Mode always get the message at the top of the display:
"Recovery image signature check Fail"
"Reboot to avoid Warranty bit set."
1. Does the partitions are in good shape? how can I check it?
2- I did good or bad using PIT file?
3- Does the problem is running Windows XP through a Virtual Machine?
4 What else can I do?
In all actions used and am using a Macbook 4.1, OsX Lion 10.7.5, Odin 3.11 Windows XP Professional 32bit through Oracle VM VirtualBox 3.4.38
Device:
Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935F) CSC = SWC SwissCom
1st Original Firmware: (I guess was 1?) G935FXXS1APG5_G935FVFG1APF3_SWC
Need help Please
Thank you so very much!
