Struggling a bit and hoping someone might be able to help.
I was running Batman 1.3 and went to upgrade to 1.4 and hit a snag. I didn't realize it, but my phone was encrypted so I just got the spinning padlock.
Went into TWRP and reformated, reinstalled, but it wouldn't boot past the splash screen.
Read through the forums and was trying to reformat to exfat and then back to ext4, but it got stuck during the first format and now won't even boot into TWRP. Just gets stuck on the TWRP loading screen.
I can boot to download mode, so I've tried reverting back to stock through ODIN, but no luck. Always gets stuck on "SetupConnection"
Hoping someone might have some advice.
Thanks!
Permanently bricked your device.
Nothing you can do.
Thanks for the response.
I was hoping there would be a way to reformat from scratch given that it connects to ODIN and at least starts to boot TWRP
Just wanted to see if others had any other opinions...
Ok, going to try again and get another opinion. Thanks
try install with smart switch
bro just use samsung kies ... ODIN. install TWRP flash ROM>
If I understood correctly, odin is stuck on a step during flash ? Or odin cannot detect your phone at all ? If it don't detects you should try using different pc, and if it stucks during flashing process, you need to flash pit file along with firmware. Cant be sure what you did, but if you corrupted nand, then unfortunately you have a total brick.

Flash again using pit file and check repartition box in odin. It should solve this issue, otherwise you are stuck, may be you corrupted nand somehow.

Awesome, I'll give that a try later today. Thanks for the input!
Did you end up fixing it? I'm having the exact same issue.

Hello guys
I tried to flash a wifi fix modem in Odin and now I cannot boot my phone and cannot flash a stock ROM.
I was on Omega7 (which has wifi problems)
Bought Phone Odin, chose to flash firmware (found the modem files I had downloaded)
Phone reboot to download mode, so I thought it had not worked, and tried to flash it in Odin PC version... but it got stuck at boot.img
So I unplugged, restarted Odin/Phone and tried again and again, but no luck.
So I tried flashing a Stock rom (I9505XXUBMEA_I9505OXABMEA_I9505XXUBMEA_HOME.tar.md5) but that gets stuck at boot.img too.
What can I do?
When I try to boot the phone, it says something about going to Kies and doing recovery there... but that assumes I have got some backup file to recover from, besides, Kies does not find my phone, it recognises it is plugged in, but continues searching for it.
Any bright ideas?

I flashed TWRP recovery and then flashed stock rom

And what do you know, my damned WiFi IS WORKING!!!!

What a PITA, but cheers for the help,

So I downloaded the latest UK firmware (MH8) from Sammobile and flashed using Odin, all went well and Odin passed and phone rebooted.
However now it just sits on Samsung logo FOREVER! I have reflashed firmware 3 times (every time it passes in Odin but still wont boot up)
I tried to reflash older firmware but that fails in Odin on bootloader section.
So I thought, all good I'll just flash Philz and restore my backup but now philz cant unmount System and I can't restore anything or even wipe system.
I'm pretty stuck it seems.
Does anyone have any ideas to help please
Flash mh8 in odin. Then boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset.
I tried that 3 times but just tried it again and for some reason the 4th time it worked!!!
Still cant restore my old back up in Philz recovery for some reason.
Keeps failing on mounting system. Damn.
looks like I'm stuck on a stock ROM for the time being

Yep, that's the theory at the moment but if you go here - https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/5ggu7naWtaW
you should be able to re-root the phone.. Not sure if I'd try to flash a new rom just yet but at least you should get back root...
All reports are you can't flash an older version through ODIN because of the new bootloader...
Thanks again Chainfire...

Yeah at least we can root it now.
Still keeping my fingers crossed that someone will find a way to unlock the System partition.
I wish I'd never updated now, Samsung should of warned us that if we do this we pretty much lock down our phone

Hi there. I think I soft-bricked my phone. I am running mf3 firmware on my i337 galaxy s4 and i tried to flash Graviton. I was using safestrap and I, like an idiot, didn't use a romslot and did it over my stock. Seemed to work fine until I actually booted the phone. It can't access wifi and therefore wont go past the find wifi screen. I try to enter recovery but it just keeps going to the download screen. After trying every way I could find I still cant either wipe my phone or flash the stock firmware. I have tried kies and odin but nothing works. Can anyone help me out or am I royally screwed?

as long as the phone can go into download mode, you can use odin to reflash the stock firmware (and factory recovery). Check samsungupdates for your model/region and stock/official firmware. You'd have to re-root after. I did the same thing a while back, lost my recovery and this is the method I used to bring my phone back to life, was just sitting at the samsung logo and had no recovery (but had download mode).

Does Odin recognize the phone? Also, when you say it won't go past the "find wifi" screen, does that mean it booted to the "Welcome" screen?

Sorry should have edited the first post. I actually fixed my original problem and am now having a different one. I got all the way through nd did a restore of my stock rom. I then tried to flash the graviton one to a different rom-slot in safestrap. So now there is a completely different partition in the storage and the flash didnt work so I'm now completely stuck in download mode. I have tried to flash the tar files in odin and it fails every time. I should have all of the necessary files for mf3.

If you have the 16GB Galaxy, try flashing this file in the PIT slot in Odin.. Don't put any other files in the PDA slot, etc. It's worked many times when phone would only boot to download..
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fptxnxsqevjhnt9/SGS-I337_16GB.pit
Hey Nerdyblonde, what does this pit file do?
I softbricked my phone when trying to flip from CWM to TWRP. (Thought I could just wipe phone and odin flash on top of CWM... VERY WRONG). Now I can't get into recovery and my phone is telling me to use kies recovery *shudder*. So I tried kies when I couldn't Odin flash to stock rom and still nothing.

Sorry it took a few days to answer.. The Kies screen was the same thing that happened to me... I have the MF3 version, so I can't install custom recovery, but I couldn't boot into recovery period. I flashed that pit file in the pit box on Odin, it restored my recovery.
Do you have MDL or MF3? If you have MDL, I would be really careful not to flash MF3 unless you want to stick with basically stock until one of the geniuses here figures out how to unlock the bootloader.
First of all let me say that I appreciate any help you guys can give me.
So I was trying to unlock to bootloader on my phone from KitKat 4.4.2 (NCG)
I was impatient and did something stupid.
I flashed the G900V_Firmware_PB1.tar.md5 file with Odin and repartitioned with the PIT file.
Of course it didn't work... Annnnnd I bricked... (Softbrick).
So after trying a few other things to no avail I panicked and booted into Stock Recovery Mode and did a full wipe/factory reset, wiped cache, then booted back into DL Mode and TRIED to flash the stock firmware to start over. The problem is the ODIN flash keeps failing and I don't know what to do.
I tried downloading the Stock Firmware from multiple sources and it keeps failing.
So I'm starting to freak out a little.
I can still successfully flash the G900V_Firmware_PB1.tar.md5 but that doesn't help me.
Any Help?

@Bren123, I've passed this to @stang5litre earlier today and not sure if hes gotten with the user yet. What do you think he needs to do? I mentioned to the user via PM that he needs to do a backup of everything, which is including a Nandroid but didn't mention if did or didn't. If so, should try that first? Should've just unlocked the bootloader first with what ROM it's currently using and then go from there to update.....hadn't had time to get back to them....not home yet. Appreciate it guys!!

Well to be honest I would just go to BPB1 here is the BPB1 Stock tar for odin (different than the one your using) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911970571
And use this pit https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347765167 in the pit slot in odin could be in the options on the left
And flash then report back any errors if odin gives one

Yeah re root and follow the bootloader unlock guide and you should be good to go
Hey guys, in a bit of a pickle.
I'm helping a buddy fix his Verizon S8. We were flashing stock firmware back onto it (never been rooted//unlocked) and afterwards when it boots into recovery, it says "Erasing" and then powers off. We've got it into the boot recovery thing and tried to reset it from there as well as recovery and it does the same thing. I've had him just flash CSC with Odin and to no prevail.
Suggestions would be appreciated. Repartition and nand erase look interesting, thoughts?

It wont boot into Android. We've flashed the latest pie build with Odin and nothing.
It sounds like a bootloader problem to me, as sometimes recovery wont even pop up.
