I've had various ROMs on my Note 4 SM-N910F the latest being Lineage. I've now decided to return to stock but after a couple of days of tearing my hair out trying to do this I came up against a brick wall. I'm in the UK and my Note 4 is locked to Vodafone so I sourced the following ROMs from Sammobile and Updato:
N910FXXU1DRI2_N910FVFR1DRI1_VOD
SM-N910F_1_20181022224027_54aed38d3j
I used Odin versions 3.12.3, 3.07, 3.13.1 to flash the above ROMs and TWRP BUT this keeps happening every single time I use Odin to flash anything..... (see attachment)
What I hadn't realised (normally I'm more careful) and what I'd forgotten to check was the battery had run down completely so Odin kept on failing. The phone was coming on alright but it was only being powered by the USB connection to the PC. So as a result I wasted hours. I mention this here in case someone else has the same issue. After a charge I finally and successfully flashed the stock ROM and after clearing the caches managed to boot into a perfect stock Note 4.
Moral of the story is check and double check your battery before flashing and clear your caches.
is everything going fine with your N910FXXU1DRI2?
I am thinking about upgrading N910FXXU1DQL2 to PDA N910FXXU1DRI2

Hi There,
I just bought a Rogers i337m S4 yesterday. This is my first experience with a S4. I have used a Note 2 in the past with some experience with Odin/Samsung however.
I want to flash the Google Play Edition 4.4.4 rom on it to get rid of Touchwiz.
First step is to root the phone.
I downloaded ODIN 3.07, download the CF-Auto-Root, extrated to get the .tar.md5 file, and followed the steps to a T... the update failed and now my phone doesn't turn on. It goes directly into Download mode on the phone when powered on.
I'm sort of freaking out as I can't afford another phone right now. Anyways with the Note II, I could simply flash the complete firmware from SamMobile via Odin.
Any ideas why this failed? I used a Sony Xperia USB Cable - would that be why?
I am downloading the NE1 4.4.2 Rogers Firmware now - and just downloaded Odin 3.09 now. I will dig out the Samsung Cable as well. If I flash this in ODIN should this at least get me back to stock and up and running again?
Just flash the firmware under PDA with nothing additional checked, correct?
Sorry for the panic
I downloaded the stock firmware and flashed, it fixed it. I then tried the CF-Auto-Root again and it worked fine this time.
Weird. Must have been the Xperia USB Cable? Only thing that changed.
Hello,
I've got (had) an SM-G900W8 running the XtreStoLite v2.0 LP BETA5 ROM on the XXU1BOA3 kernel. I installed TWRP 2.7 via Odin, and left the latest modem and bootloader updates I got through KIES3.
At which point I got the chance to sell the handset on Kijiji, provided I could get the stock ROM back on.
I downloaded the latest Odin (3.09) and the correct Firmware for my handset from sam mobile, and factory reset the device. I pulled the battery, let it sit, and tried to flash once I got it back up in download mode, and it wouldn't work.
This isn't too much of a surprise to me, because since I flashed TWRP, Odin hasn't ever worked for me. Regardless of how many times I've tried to flash the modem and/or BL that XtreStoLite asked me to use in their how to thread, it wouldn't work. I was willing to ignore it b/c the ROM worked with the modem and BL it was running.
My problem is that once I tried to reboot, the system hung at the BL animation. I went back into recovery, and tried to move my backups off my external storage (I had 2 back ups that were about 2 or 3 gigs each, too much for the local storage) to the local card and restore (b/c TWRP won't restore from the external card) and the back ups failed.
Now I've got the BL screen, but it won't advance to the animation, and it won't boot to TWRP either.
I tried to restore from KEIS, but it says my device isn't supported by KIES 3 (it is). I could really use a hand here. Every time I try something this gets worse. I'm no pro, but I've had no problem figuring this out on my old HTC handsets.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

Hi all
I am a silent reader of this forum since long but for the first time I feel like as if I am in a real trouble. A couple of days ago I got a Note 3 International version N9005 Snapdragon from a friend. It was running on 4.3 rooted version so I tried to update it to 5.0 stock using odin (Sammobile UK BTU firmware). Something went wrong over there and i got a FAIL message from odin. There onwards I tried searching all over the web but couldn't bring it back to life. One thing I never tried and won't do it that is use of pit file for re-partitioning. Now at this moment it has got a CWM recovery 6.0.4.7-kk(0125) installed but whenever I even try to flash a custom rom, it installs successfully but after reboot i am stuck again samsung logo. I have tried using a few kk custom roms with no success and also tried flashing 4.3, 4.4.2 and 5.0 stock roms from odin with again no success. Now my aim is to bring this thing back to life. Kies 3 gives a message that your device is not compatible with this version of kies.
Waiting for some expert opinions, I am ready to start from the beginning.
Regards
I have lost the phone that has been working for ages. I am broke atm. Please help I need to use my phone. I was trying to get my radio to work again because I lost data a couple weeks back. So I have spent more time than I even should have for this trying to fix it.

lineage-14.1-20190212-nightly-jfltexx-signed
and
open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20190209
I have wiped everything and tried 2 different system boards ;
from download mode I have
used I337MVLSGQB1_I337MOYAGQB1_I337MVLSGQB1_HOME.tar
to reload with nothing checked but F. Reset Time.
pulled out the cable then the battery.
went straght to recovery (system was going there already) to do first stage unpack with android and progress bar.
It said BAR and END
I went in back in after restart, and a full wipe.
And after a long wait .. the system very glitchy, slow like something was running in the background (modem ?) if I open the phone app it wont close and calls are silent. then resets over and over..
I have tried custom roms, and flashing latest modem and original ? Whats up ? anyone

I know your post was a while ago but you cannot use Odin to flash a custom ROM.
Are you flashing the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com or updato.com?

I ended up using the pixel experience rom. I am sure I have the wrong bootloader and modem for i337m though. It works with data when I reset network settings and re-enable. Data each reboot. For the longest time lineage 9505 ROMs worked until like Feb 5th I saw the data just fall use just fall off. I couldn't get chatr to work anymore. It was a nightmare I went to stock and , pitted the phone and it would only function until I added TWRP and tried a nougat rom or even with latest modem. Wifi was evn a problem. Now I am using like a lollipop bootloader with the green battery charging and modem isn't right. When I flash a different modem and bootloader in Odin and rip the battery and then cableit doesn't even change .
Wtf?

I'm not sure how you could flash the wrong bootloader unless it was flashed using TWRP or CWM. To confirm, boot into download mode to see the model # listed on the screen.
Are the modem and bootloader matched; i.e. the phone is running a 5.0 bootloader and modem? To easily ensure that both are matched, you can flash the latest stock ROM using Odin.
If the modem version is not changing after being flashed, it is possible that the internal memory is faulty.

Can you tell me what version the latest boot loader and modem is for Canadian i337m
I haven't had an s4 for a long time but it was running the latest OH1 firmware: https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=8D5422F720B911E6949E0CC47A44B7B2
