Bricked GT I-9505 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been using one of the Lineage 14,1 versions of android lately and today I wanted to return to stock Lolipop using Odin. Unfortunately about half way through I got write error so I tried again and got another write error probably at the same time. Now the flashing doesn't want to even start and I get various error messages in Odin. The latest one is "There is no PIT partition. "
Obviously I cannot boot now I can only enter download mode.
Any ideas?

After numerous attempts, various cables, different usb ports I cleaned usb ports on my original cable and it was a full success.:good:

Glad you got it working.
I recommend using Odin 3.07 and higher in future.

Well I tried 5-6 different versions of Odin before I settled with 3, 1,85.

Hi you are still in download mode have you tried to flash new firmware
I can't using odin 1.7 it will prompt failed.
ok try press volume up and hold the power tell me what happens
It is the same pic as stated. I plug in the charger and it is still the same pic.
do you get failed while flashing firmware threw odin if yes can you tell me what firmware you were on before flashing and what firmware you are trying to flash now reason i ask as i was trying to downgrade firmware i had same problem, so i had to flash the latest firmware and it worked
I was on the P1000DXJK2 at first. I'm trying to flash P1000DXJM4. At first it was successful from the odin 1.7 but when boot up it stayed at the samsung screen. Maybe i need to flash the dbdata.
yeah that could be the problem, put dbdata in pda, no pit
Where can I downlaod dbdata for this firmware P1000DXJM4.
Ok. Thanks bro I managed to get it back. Thousand thanks.
Here you go just unzip and you have a .tar file

[Q] Water Damage - Won't Boot

Hi all! Walked into the lake with my phone in the rear pocket - doh! Here is what I did so far ...
1. Turned off
2. Removed battery
3. Disassembled phone
4. Dried it out
5. Cleaned all the components with isopropyl
6. Put in a new battery
Turns on fine
Goes into d/l mode
I can flash firmware to it via Odin
Will NOT boot
Will NOTgo into recovery
I have tried various stock firmwares from Samobile - they all do the same thing - see pictures below.

ANY firmware I try does this after Odin is "Successful" Blue writing says " Recovery Booting ... but it just sits there.
Any ideas? It is a stock Rogers phone but I don't mind using any Firmware ion any network if I can get it up and running - I'll just unlock it later.
Thanks!
Also, can I try to re-partition it using a .pit file? I've only ever used Odin for flashing firmware. Where can I get .pit files, can't seem to find them anywhere.

Download the rom you want and flash it via Odin.

Is that the only way? I'm on a Mac, and Odin never seems to work for me ...
Perhaps I just need to wait for the OTA

Still just having no luck getting JOdin to work on a mac... Java runtime messages, yada yada.
Is it possible to flash the firmware using the Heimdall front end, or command line? I've downloaded firmware G900FXXU1BOA3_G900FOXA1BOA4_BTU.zip
jOdin apparently doesnt work on some versions of OSX because you need a certain version of java. As for heimdall the github has a few pulls that people have reported work, so you can give that a shot, just check the issues section.

Put the Rom Odin and USB drivers on a USB stick and go to a internet cafe or use a friends windows computer, problem solved.

Want to unroot, need help please

Hi,
I'm new to android and recently rooted my Galaxy S7 Edge AT&T Snapdragon and now I want to unroot and return to stock but I'm having trouble.
To begin, I can't access recovery mode anymore. I get a message in the top left corner of the screen that says something about "custom rom blocked". I tried to follow instructions I found on XDA on how to unroot and return to stock. I downloaded the files and used Odin to flash it, it begins to do something and then gives me an error.
What am I doing wrong or how do I fix it? I apologize if I'm not explaining this the greatest, like I said I'm new to this and don't understand it much. All I want to do is wipe the root and return to stock. All help is greatly appreciated!

If Your phone works then try this ^
If Your phone is dead then post the log from Odin.
Thanks for the help! I tried it multiple times and it says each time "uninstallation failed". Could it be the issue I'm having with the recovery image?

I don't think so, but I guess that the best thing You can do right now is to just reflash the whole phone with Odin, but since You get errors in Odin I need to see the log.
I successfully unrooted last night using these instructions and the files provided. I don't know if it'll work for you though.
Instructions: https://stockromupdate.com/how-to-flash-stock-rom-samsung-smartphone/
Files: https://stockromupdate.com/2016/08/...galaxy-s7-edge-sm-g935fd-6-0-1-g935fxxu1apgf/
Note: Make sure you ignore the Home_CSC file AND the Pit tab in Odin. Never touch "Pit" unless you know what you're doing. And also note that the ROM provided might not be the one developed for your country, but it should work fine.

Samsung Note-3 N9000q stuck at initializing while flashing with odin

My n9000q started to stuck at black screen after samsung logo when booted. I tried to flash twrp recovery from odin to recover my files via backup. But after i tried to flash with odin it stuck at initializing. I tried different versions of odin but non of them work. Now i can't enter stock recovery either. How can i get past that initializing problem ?
Please tell what you did and what firmware etc .
as i say i tried to flash twrp3.2.1-0-ha3g with odin 3.09 with auto reboot and f.reset time checked re-partition unchecked. I don't know about firmware model and i don't how to check now while device is softbricked.
Try an older 2.8 TWRP.
The model number will be shown on the screen with the phone in download mode.
Post a screen shot or Odin log. These items are very helpful when helping other XDA members.
Model number is sm-n9000q never updated firmware before. As suggested i tried older twrp (2.7.1.0 and 2.8.5.0) it didn't work either.

What TWRP was on the phone before problem.
before problem it had stock recovery no twrp. The phone is full stock before.
Sorry I read OP recover files through backup and assumed backup =TWRP.
I tried but didn't succeed :/
All I can suggest is try different USB cables and USB ports.
Did you have a look through this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...elopment/recovery-official-twrp-ha3g-t3406899 ?
I look through that post and tried other ports and cables but none of them worked.
