Ok so i have been working on this for hours now. I have never rooted a my phone before and i decided to try. I rooted it no problem and set up a nandroid recovery with goomanager. Then i tried to enable hotspot using QBKing77's tutorial on youtube by adding custom files in the system folder. when i restarted i was stuck at the sprint yellow screen. I started recovery mode and tried to recover my previous back up. It did not work and i think it made things worse. Now my custom recovery is gone and i tried to install the original sprint rom in adin and it keeps failing at when i gets to nand write. I have no clue whats wrong. Is there any way to erase the entire phone are reinstall everything similar to a wipe and load on a computer?
We need a little more info, what software version were you on? MF9 MJA, MK2??? This is important because once you are on MJA or MK2 you cannot go back to the older versions because of the knox bootloader. The odin error you are reporting usually happens when you are trying to install an older than MJA version on an MJA or newer phone. Make sure you download either the MJA full tar file or the MK2 full tar file and try again. It's very important that you know what version you are on before you start installing mods, this is why your phone failed to boot after installing the hotspot mod.

i have the same issue, please if anyone can offer some guidance we'd both really appreciate it!
Thank you that was the issue. I downloaded the android 4.3 tar from samsung-updates.com and flashed the PIT files and it started back up.

You may not need the pit file I would try it with out it first. This is where i got got my pit sxtpdevelopers . com /showthread.php?t=235
This is for the sprint galaxy s4 though. Don't use if you have a different carrier. Put the pit file in the in Odin in the pit tab and the Android 4.3 tar file in the pda tab. It should work then. Again I would try without the pit file first.
bootloop
I've also tried flashing for the first time, followed the ROM developers directions, and now I have a bootloop with the message at the top of the splash screen "Set binary bit: kernel".
Any guidance?

The ROM I was installing is Stock(ish), but I can't post in that thread since it's a developer thread, and I'm a newbie on this site, so that's why I'm asking here.

I've been looking so I could link you but I'm outta time! If you can still get to download mode you need a tar file of either mk2 or mja stock and then use Odin 3.07 and push it back in! Rooted or unrooted shouldn't matter but from what all I've seen and read this is about the only option you have!! Now this being if you were on mja or mk2 before you started!

i fallowed the steps from the link and i was able to get out of reboot loop now im stuck with the Samsung logo and a blue light at the top of my phone any ideas thanks...
The blue light probably says rebooting recovery! If so this worked for me. Pull battery then boot into download mode press up to continue wait for a minute then pull battery and try to reboot!

Hi all....
Today i was trying to flash the latest firmware for my i9506 (I9506XXUBNA2).
All flashing went fine...until it reaches the "Hidden" partition.
So....a big FAIL appears.
I was facing the same problem when i flashed the France(Orange) 4.3 firmware but then the problem was solved by flashing Philz recovery and rebooted.
Now it doesn`t work anymore...it gets stuck at booting animation.
Any solution for this?Maybe a .pit file will solve the problem?
Thank you!
Problem solved!It wasn`t the partition table the problem.Even so...Odin still gives "FAIL" error when trying to flash "Hidden" partition.
The main problem when updating to 4.3 is the recovery partion wich is not flashed properly.
So...if you want to update to latest 4.3 (with no errors after booting, like Samsung Keboard FC`ing every 5 seconds) try this firmware, this Odin and this recovery!
So....at first...flast the attached firmware via Odin!
Uncheck the "Auto Reboot" box.
Odin will "FAIL" to flash "HIDDEN" partition!
Don`t worry....just press and keep the power+volume down buttons until the phone reboots again in download mode.
Reset Odin and again, uncheck the "Auto Reboot" box before flashing "recovery.tar.md5"
Flash "recovery.tar.md5" provided here!
After the recovery is flashed, first the boot must be in recovery mode!enter in recovery mode by pressing and keeping volume up and power button.
In recovery mode the phone automatically will flash something on your device!
After that....the phone will reboot!
That`s it!
I don`t know if this method will void the Knox warranty because i already have KNOX WARRANTY VOID : 0x1 so try at your own risk!
Moved here and OP please read the Forum Rules on posting, as this does not belong in the Dev Sections. Thanks
still with "samsung keyboard error"
hey man!
i've tried your procedure. i still got the keyboard stopped error. i used the odin, rom and recovery you have provided.
have you done re-partition? i havent done re-partition. maybe that could be the reason why i still had that error. do you have other solution for that?

Just try again and right after you flashed the recovery image reboot right away to recovery mode. Press volume up and power right away.

next and only issue left is to make root stick! i downloaded "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529064" and flashed via philz touch. i gain root on one boot only.. supersu is fcuked, wont block knox or install su binarys. but all apps gain root access except "es file explorer" which won't enable "root explorer". if i only soft reboot the root sticks.
anyone successfully rooted i9506 4.3?

Hi guys,
i hope you can help me
I flash the stock firmware with 4.4.2 with repartitioning, but my S4 stucks after download at the Screen "Samsung Galaxy S4" and the blue "recovery".
I tried to take out the battery for some minutes and retry with Odin. Unfortunately the result is the same. I don't know what to do now :crying: Pls Help.

I'd use Odin to reflash stock system image again. You may have screwed it with partitioning though, you should flash without it. But use Odin to flash again and hopefully will resolve. May be a bad download of the firmware last time too, make sure to check the MD5 after download.
---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------
The other option is to try flashing a new recovery only in Odin if that's Al your after getting too to flash an alternate ROM.
thanks for the answer. i don't find the checksum of the md5, so i tried with different files. the phone still stuck at the blue "recovery" screen.
Is there another way to restore everything? i can´t enter Recovery Mode with costume recovery (TWRP, CWM)

Flash TWRP for your model of galaxy grand prime. backup DATA partition and copy whatever you have in internal storage to pc through MTP. then flash stock firmware from odin.

Got an idea. Ask someone at this forum with same model phone as yours to send you the partition backup for /system,/recovery and /boot.
Maybe we can make a custom odin tar file.
Yeah, it's a straight talk phone, so no stock rom, no source code, no nothing.

what do you think about making a n odin flashable tar file of the /system folder and whatever else from someone that has my phone model?
well guys, there is teh "custom" rom for this model... but its more of a last resort thing.... it allows it to boot up but you cant get wifi lte, 3g, etc etc, but you can make calls on it and stuff
but im not gonna do it cause i dont feel like its worth it
I don't consider that rom to be custom. It'll turn your Grand Prime into a Core Prime with no wifi or data. A FrankenPrime if you will.
ya i know... but what about flashing through /system partition like that one guy suggested? would that work?

So check this out. Try this. Go download your odin for your phone. You can download anyone. Just makensure it is newer or the same as what you have. After you add everything to Odin, click option tab and make sure Phone EFS Clear and Phone Bootloader Update are checked. Then flash the odin rom. Lmk if that works.

Go download smart Switch, boot your phone to download mode. In samsing smart switch click more emergency firmware initialization then click the other tab.... itll ask for your model numeber then a window below will ask for your serial. When it accepts it, it will attempt to restore it. It will show you the rom that came with your phone. Right that down. Let it do its thing. There is another thread on this forum you will need the binary for your phone.

Likewise if you can get into twrp, use the file manager to delete everything in the efs folder. And actually you dont need the original rom. Just download apdn or apdu. But you will nees the binary too.

Your best bet is that guide to restore your imei and baseband. Do that.

So guys if you are getting a DRK error after flashing the Odin restore? GO ahead and try flashing Chainfire's root. This will get the phone to boot up, that is after you flash the Binary and then the Odin rom, the flash chainfire. Remember, you will have to flash Chainfire going forward forever, every time you use Odin to restore them room. Otherwise, youtherwise you will get a device root key error and refuse to boot up.

Did you flash the Binary of the Rom?
Follow the directions in this rom. See after you flash the Binary Odin, if your IMEI shows up. If it does flash the Odin Full restores, any , it doesn't matter. You will get a DRK error or you should, then Flash Chainfire

Thanks for your suggestion, I've tried flash Binary(exactely followed the steps), Kies urgent recovery, but nothing help, im going to try edit my broken EFS file.
Wait, you don't restore it with Kies, you have to use Smart Switch, then choose more... Emergency Firmware Initialization... Then enter your model number and then it will ask for your serial.
So when you flash the Binary, there is a secret menu, top left corner, click it and then you should see all these menu buttons, choose settings. It will look like stock Android. Go down to backup and reset, and fully wipe through that. Then flash the Binary, see if you get an imei in the IMei screen remember you have to type *#06# in the screen keypad. If you see your imei, good, power down, boot into download mode, and flash the Full Odin Rom.... If you get DRK error, flash Chain Fire CF-Root.

*********Disclaimer********** If you get your device working, you willl always need to flash Chainfire CF-Root to get it booting, no matter which Odin rom you flash. Don't ever uncheck oem unlock, then you will not be able to flash Chainfire and your device is bricked for good.

One other thing when you are flashing in Odin, make sure you check Phone EFS Clear and also Phone Bootloader Update

I did everything you said, first I recovered by using Smartswitch, then checked OEM Unlock and flashed binary. After boot in Binary I checked the secret menu and did a wipe in settings from that secret menu. Then I flashed the Binary again via Odin. I dialed *#06# after reboot but imei is still missing. While stay in the Binary screen about 3 mins, the screen became black and display "CP CRASH UPLOAD MODE".
I appreciate your help bro... maybe it will be solved in next few weeks, I feel tired with flashing and flashing, maybe it's time to go with IOS series lol.

LOL don't stop there, but take a break. That is what I did, god I flashed so many times.
When you are rested......
Next step Flash the regular Odin Restore rom, this is different from the binary. BTW, try taking your SIM card out of the phone when you do this. If your phone boots up after the Odin restore, see what your baseband is. If it doesn't root it, then install twrp. I went into TWRP and used the file manager to delete everything in the efs files. I think something gets backed up or stored there from the bad csc files we flashed. No matter how often we flash, they are still there. Delete everything in the efs folder. Then go back to download mode.... Flash Binary.... Then Flash Odin Restore Rom.... Then Chainfire Auto-CF root.
While doing all this, check these options in Odin Clear Phone EFS, and Phone Boot Loader, I have also wiped the NVRAm option and Also repartitioned.

Thank you very much bro, I will try more tonight. I always backup my EFS in the internal storage, but yestarday I flashed superman 1.5 accidently wiped the entire internal storage lol... I was like what the f....
I will let you know the result. Again, thank you so much for the help
And if you are able try to restore through Samsung Smart Switch. It won't work after the restore, but honestly all are an attempt to repair what was done with Superman Rom.
After the Odin Restore, try Chainfire. The rom may look to be chain rebooting. Force it restart yourself.
