Frustrated - Can not unbrick! - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have been using a S5 for several years which I unlocked bootloader and rooted at the beginning. Been running a NI2 firmware with no problems. Decided I wanted to try a Lineage rom and when I tried to flash it, it failed. I wanted to update to later android so I flash a Stock firmware through ODIN and it work fine for several days. For reasons unknown to me I went into recovery again and did a factory reset. Now when I turned on phone this is all I get and it will no longer let me boot into recovery mode. No matter what key combination I push, I just get the following screen:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G900V
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
AP SWREV: S1, T2, A1, A2, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
UDC START
Software Update Failed
etc etc etc
Tried flashing different firmware in ODIN (3.09 and 3.10) and still boot into same
screen with following line added:
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] Fused 2 > Binary 1
Have tried Samsung Switch, Kies and Verizon Software Update to no avail. Have uninstalled drivers and reinstalled several times. Also ADB does not recognize phone.
At wits end - any suggestions appreciated!

You need to install using odin the last update avaliable for G900V. The last update is QF2. Download from updato and flash it..

Tried flashing QF2 and Odin failed again. I did manage to pick up a new in the box S5 and it arrived today. Works great and it is on 6.0.1 DPF4.

Just wanted everyone to know that the phone is now working!! Had not done anything to the phone since last post. Yesterday took it downstairs to an old computer running XP. When I turned the phone one got a surprise, it booted to the Verizon splash screen and stuck there. Installed ODIN on the computer, was able to put phone in download mode and then ODIN worked and was able to flash the DQH2 rom and phone works great. I now have a back up phone!

glad to hear it all worked out! I was in a very similar situation for the past week (S3 to the rescue), but using the latest Odin and the latest update for my VZW S5, I'm back on the S5. Now to search for regaining root....

Have I bricked my Note 4?

Hi guys. I'm having some problems with my Note 4. I previously have rooted the phone, but tried to use SuperSU to unroot it. I was getting errors loading some apps telling me that phone was still rooted so I attempted to do a factory reset on the phone. Somewhere along the road I appear to have messed up the firmware.
Basically, when powered on my phone states "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." If I open the recovery menu on my phone (power+home+vol. down) it says
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N910F
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 (4)
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)

SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE

I have tried using Kies (both versions) which say that my phone is not recognised in the emergency firmware recovery options, and the firmware upgrade option fails.
I have also tried using Odin using firmware N910FXXU1COJ3_N910FO2U1COJ1_O2U and N910FXXU1BOC3_N910FO2U1BOC1_O2U.
I am totally stuck for ideas. Is my phone bricked?

Do you use Stock Kernel or custom Kernel?

I'm not sure. I assume stock.

Judging for your answer I assume that you are kinda "new" to this ROOT & flashing ROM stuff?
Am I correct?
If you are "new" to this stuff....I suggest you read & re-read everything before "plunging deep into the abyss"
Now the answer,
ROOT & Stock 5.1.1 Lollipop Kernel is a NO GO!
By updating your KitKat 4.4.4/Lollipop 5.0.1 into Lollipop 5.1.1 (BTW COJ stock update IS Lollipop 5.1.1) will remove your ROOT access.
Re-ROOTing it will cause a bootloop....IF you didn't change your kernel into a "Permissive" one.
Try flashing a custom permissive kernel if you are going to keep ROOTed.
It'll fix your problem.
Download ODIN, then go to samfirmware and download some software for your phone. Use Odin to flash whatever firmware back onto your phone and start again.

[Help] N9005 stuck in download mode

Hi there guys,
I have a Note 3 N9005, and I am from Romania. My phone had the ORO Firmware (I think)but it was not SIM locked, or something like that, and it had Lollipop, the latest OTA version.
I've tried to install TWRP with Odin, on Windows (I have an MacBook, but I have installed Windows 7 x64 on VMware Fusion 8PRO).. but it gave me an error in.. and since then, when I restart the phone, it will say this : "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
I've tried several versions of Odin, like : 3.09 ; 3.07 and 1.85 but I have the same error.
I've also tried to install the latest firmware (N9005XXUGBOB6_N9005OXXGBOB4_ROM) , but I receive the same error, which can be seen in the printscreen.
This is what it says on the Download Mode :
ODIN MODE
Product name: SM-N9005
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Reactivation Lock: OFF
Knox Warranty Void: 0x0
Qualcomm SecureBoot: Enable (CSB)
RP SWREV: S2, T2, R2, A3, P3

Thanks for ur reply.. but the problem is that I ain't got a real windows computer..
Later Edit : I remembered I've had an old hard disk with Windows 7 which I used it for playing GTA5 a year ago.. (I have a Hackintosh).. and I've plugged it in.. and here it worked Odin.. to flash TWRP.. but now if I restart the phone.. it will get stuck where it says "Samsung N9005" ..but I can enter TWRP recovery menu..

Of course. Earlier you flashed the phone but it doesn't completed. Reflash stock firmware. Or flash custom rom with twrp.

Needing help - Stuck in Odin

Hi all,
Please bear with me, I'm in way over my head here and don't understand most of what I've done. I was experimenting when I probably shouldn't have been.
So, I installed DarkLord's Note 7 kernel and rom. I found it to be quite buggy and am now wanting to wipe my phone and install Phronesis-N9005-N7-v6.0.
Problem is, when trying to boot into TWRP, I'm met with the the following:
ODIN MODE
Product name: SM-N9005
Current binary: Custom
System status: Official
Reactivation lock(kk): Off
Knox Kernel lock: 0x0
Knox warranty void: 0x1
Qualcomm secureboot: Enable (csb)
Rp swrev: S2, T2, R2, A3, P3
Write protection: Enable
UDC start
Downloading...
Do not turn off target
I've had it on for hours and it didn't do anything.
I managed to reboot it and it ran as it did before, in Darklords rom.
I read I have to install the official firmware and install it via Odin but I can't find anything about my device. On the back of it, it says:
SM N9005
FCC ID - A3LSMN9005
SNN - N9005GSMH
When I enter it into sammobile, nothing comes up.
Have I got this wrong? Should I be looking for something else?
You are booting to download mode not recovery .
Boot to recovery TWRP
#N9005 model firmware are on sammobile etc.

Booting into recovery via TWRP manager just results in the same Odin screen for me
As for the firmware - I'm not really sure which region I should pick out of those. I just thought this was an international model, but then I downloaded an app called Phone INFO and it tells me it's Vietnam. Could this be because of the rom already on there? It does also say it's a Note 7, so I'm assuming it's incorrect.
TWRP manager
DO NOT USE just boot to recovery via the vol up home and power buttons as normal .
Copy Phronesis to ext sd card and flash as per instructions .
You have N9005 Pick your area /network where you are .
Phone Info can only go by what's on your phone and you flashed DarkLord's Note 7 firmware .
Booting via manager was a last resort. I was trying the usual way and it also resulting in the same thing.
Boot to download/ Odin mode flash stock rom .
Thanks JJEgan, I figured out how to use Odin3 and Odin mode, then install Phronesis. All is good now

Emergency recover / download mode issue

Hey there, im having an issue were i can only get to either download mode or the emergency recovery screen.
What happened was that i was trying to flash the latest firmware XEU-G935FXXU2ERGE-20180808105405 and it failed after some time, i waited a long time, then i removed the cable and turned the phone off with vol down + power buttons.
At next boot up it showed the emergency mode, so i went along and downloaded Smart Switch, problem is the application says it's an unsupported device.
I can go to download mode, but odin fails every time, the settings in download mode are as follows:
SM-G935F
Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
FRP Lock: On
Secure Download: Enabled
Warranty Void: 1
AP SwRev: B:2 K:0 S:1
Sometimes Odin gets stuck at "SetupConnection..."
Other times it's the error
"Can't open the specified file. (Line: 1892)"
Any ideas?
Could some mod delete this post? It's amazing, i spent a great part of the night trying to solve this, this morning i created this post, then i went ahead and tried to flash with odin again, only this time i checked re-partition and nand erase, failed again, then i tried again with only nand erase, bam! it worked!
Im very happy now, thanks all anyway.
use last Odin3_v3.13.1

Need help!!! I believe I soft-bricked my Galaxy s8 SM-G950U

Hi recently I believe I soft-bricked my Galaxy S8 SM-G950U I was having trouble getting service on it, It would only work on like major roads so I knew something was wrong with it so I tried to get the device fully updated and everything by going in the setting menu in Android and doing it from there It still was doing the same issues. So I went about restoring it with OEM firmware with Odin, everything worked when I restarted it, it was running more smoothly and everything. So since I achieved doing that I was like might as well root it so I installed firmware in Odin then everything messed up I couldn't get into my boot-loader anymore. So I reflashed the stock files that originally worked at first and I was having the same issue. In the bootloader it's on a blue screen I see no command for a second and then it goes to installing updates and the screen keeps on flashing. I believe it's because I reflashed a firmware that had a loader bootloader I believe it was the v2 bootloader. I need the v3 bootloader for ATT galaxy I can't find it on any site preferably all the Odin files needed. Please any expert let me know if you experience this thanks!
