Hi everybody Guys I need some help think I gone crazy My S8 950f Get bootlooping in Samsung S8 logo with red letters above it says only oficial binaries allowed. Something like that. I go to Odin To restore it back to stock with stock firmware 8.0 and Odin says fail when start to flash boot IMG when I see this I almost start to cry and we'll I tried so many firmware and Any does seems to work Now I got Beautiful 350 bucks brick phone. Somebody know what it's happening?
In the download screen says sv firmware check fail Bootloader
(Sorry for my bad English I using Google translate)
Please help
donot worry its a soft brick.. flash twrp and as soon as odin say successful and phone turns off imediately prss bixby + power+vol up....it will take you to recovery....download a rom and flash it
Just a question, but did you put your device into download mode before trying to flash via Odin?
It´s like said soft bricked, so any official stock Rom should work with Odin.
No need to flash TWRP first as each official ROM comes with stock recovery and will overwrite TWRP anyway when flashing it. But you of course can give it a try. If you can´t flash a firmware for some reason, i would try a different one. The one you are having might be corrupted.

Hey guys!
When i boot my phone i get this error:
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
I can't flash access recovery or Android OS, and i can't flash from Odin (No PIT-partition error)
What to do???
I am almost panicking - my phone didn't work earlier today because of CWM, so i tried to flash TWRP from Odin, and now I am screwed again!!
It this fixable?
Please help me
Thanks in advance
First thing you need to do is stop panicing. That will only make things worse. If you start messing with your phone, then prepare yourself that these things happen.
Also, there is little usefull information in your thread. If you want help, I suggest you make more work of you topic. What rom were you on? What did you do with CWM? What version where you on? What version of TWRP?
Can't you just flash CWM again and then flash a custom rom? If not, then try:
1. Do you have knox enabled bootloader?
2. If so, then flash any stock rom with a knox bootloader.
3. If not, then flash a stock rom without a knox bootloader.
4. Root again and flash recovery again.
5. Flash custom rom.

Be sure you have or get the official stock odin flash rom for your phone baseband/model
number from SamMobile.com. They only have official stock roms their with exact model
and basebands.
Make sure the battery is at least 50% charged.
Open odin and set it up so it's ready to flash.
Then remove the battery for 10 seconds & replace the battery then then hold/press the vol-down
and the power button at the same time until the phone is in download mode.
Connect the usb cable from computer to phone and then:
Be sure ODIN is ready to start, if it is then start the odin flash.
Have patience, after the flash it can take up to 4-5 minutes for
the phone to go thru the initial boot.
REMEMBER, only flash official and specific odin flash rom which is designed for
your phone's baseband and model number. Double check before flashing to be sure.
Also to avoid problems in the future, once you get your phone working properly
uninstall kies on your phone and in your computer.
Kies is really not required unless you plan to stay STOCK/UN-ROOTED and don't
plan to flash any custom roms, mod's, themes.
Good luck!
Solved it by using this guide:

had to change to USB3.0-port before i could flash without getting an error.
Thanks for the help guys.

thanks but.. the phone isnt starting that's why i have to flash a firmware..so i can't check what firmware i have..
The flashing process failed at half of it..:/......
Just pick one of the latest.
btw if the flashing of the recovery fails then just try the standard stuff
- different usb port
- different cable

Why did you want to flash a custom recovery, to just flash a custom rom? If so, then just flash the custom recovery again and then flash the custom rom you want.
And why would you just flash the ap file if the firmware has more files? Makes no sense to me.

Thanks! i managed it.. 2 S4 devices got Imperium v13 ROM
I am currently new to all this stuff so i dont have an exact idea what i was doing
First of all i rooted my Device I9500 Which had 5.0.1 Android
then i installed TWRP Recovery and then i was not able to backup any stuff to External SD Card so i installed some Boot.img which i exactly dont remember which i installed from watching any youtube video then later some problem occured It showed some error like "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" then i flashed Philz touch recovery which then worked and i was able to backup my data but i was not able to Boot into my Original ROM or couldnt see an option for that. Then i downloaded The Ozcan V6.3 ROM and tried installing it it succesfully installed but after that its not able to boot uo and stuck at SAMSUNG Logo Screen.
Please Help me What to DO !!!.
Thanks In Advance
If your device can still get into download mode, download the stock Android 5.x image for your device and flash it using Odin. That will get you back to square one so you can start over with rooting and installing the custom ROM.
I had the same problem on my gs4. It would only go to galaxy logo so I flashed the lollipop firmware via odin and all is well.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
Just have to flash the default one with Odin ?
i also backed up my old data with philz to my sd card that also and i also downloaded a new Default 5.0.1 ROM ?
Which one should i flash ?
and whats the critera for finding ROMs leaving the model number ? (noob question)
Is the S4 unlocked? If not, what country are you in and what carrier do you have?
My Country is India and its the International Version I9500 and i am not pretty sure that it was unlocked or not .but it was rooted and recovery was installed
Added later :
I just installed recovery back and then tried to install ROM the ROM was also stuck on the Boot Loop I think my boot loader isnt unlocked and ima stuck there because of that
I9500 isnt bootloader locked. And u must be flashing the boot.img on other partition that not in the odin package. So u must search how to repartition ur device. But. U MUST VERY CAREFULL WITH REPARTITION OPTION! U MIGHT BRICK UR DEVICE IF U DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT U DOING!. And if u wanna flash recovery and boot.img or bootloader thing. U must ONLY flash for I9500 version!. And if u successfully repartition ur device. U will lose all internal storage too. Ok good luck

You would know if you were carrier unlocked as you'd be able to put a SIM from a different carrier into the S4 and have the device work. To get you the correct ROM we still need to know your carrier.
secure download : enabled
Hi my galaxy s4 gt i9500 is stuck in a bootloop. When is boot I get "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again"... when I boot into download mode I see "secure download : enabled" which wasn't usually there. Am trying to flash the pit file with twrp but Odin is failing.... is it because of the secure download enabled?? Please help me
You can't flash the PIT file with TWRP.
Do you have Odin? Do you have a copy of your stock ROM, downloaded either from Sammobile or samsung updates? If not, you'll need to get them. You then flash the firmware through Odin WITHOUT the PIT file. This should restore your device to operating condition. Afterward, you will of course need to root the S4 and flash a copy of TWRP to be able to install a custom ROM.
Carrier is Airtel

You're in the wrong forum by the way. This is for Samsung Galaxy Tab A Series not for Samsung Note 3's.
But I'll still help.
NEVER EVER TRY INSTALLING TWRP AND THEN CWM!!! THAT WILL BREAK THE BOOT IMAGE!
So, Odin does not work, so you should try downloading the latest version of ODIN from the ODIN website.
Then download your firmware from Updato.com (Press OS Updates on the top of the webpage)
Type in your model number and it should come out with results.
Press the right firmware and the country (I'm assuming you live in the US so choose XAR if you have it unlocked. If it is locked then it would be SPRINT or something like that. Reply back if you need help finding that.)
Download it (takes about 5 minutes for me)
Turn off your device and go to Download Mode (Volume Down + Power Button + Home Button)
Open up ODIN on your PC and then plug in your device to the PC with a USB cord.
Wait until it says Device Added!
Press the AP Slot and find the firmware
After finding it, press OK and then press START on the ODIN application.
THERE! YOU ARE DONE! Your Device should take a few minutes and it should be back to original.
If you are having a problem, then reply back to me and I'll answer you preferably at 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM. (I go to school.)
Hope I helped!

I don't know your device really well but that error means your flashing older firmware to your device than what you had on it. As in downgrading. Find a newer firmware and try in Odin 3.13
It's telling you that your device is 3 and your flashing binary 1 or 2
Use updato .com to download a recent firmware and use a stable version of odin (3.12/3.13), most recent versions of odin can cause problems
