hi,
my S4 i9500 won't boot.
i have tried loading several versions of stock roms, recoveries and non-stock roms.
all stock roms fail in odin, and i get "unsupported dev_type" error on the device.
other non-stock roms install with no error, but the device won't boot after reboot.
finally, out of frustration and recklessness, i guess i used an S4 boot loader fix wihch loaded successfully from odin.
unfoutunatly, after rebooting the device, boot message sais GT-I9505 instead of GT-I9500. turns out it was a 9505 boot loader fix.
is there anything i can do to bring my device back to life??
currently, device won't boot to recovery (blue "recovery booting" on top left corner of screen), won't boot to system, but can enter download mode, and be identified by odin.
update: i also tried flashing stock rom with pit file. in this case i get "secure check fail : pit" error message on the device
thanks!!

if you dont want to be on stock rom then try flashing a custom recovery by odin eg philz touch link here and then just flash it via recovery and you will be able to boot into recovery and then you can just flash a custom rom.
if you dont want to install custom rom do a clean wipe and try flashing the stock rom again
hope it hepled .
Hit thanks if it helped.

Hi mate,
Flash a stock rom with odin , who knows what happen when you flashed the boot fix plus all the custom rom
Easiest way out is flash stock start from beginning

Hello to you all,
I've downloaded and flashed the original samsung lolipop rom for my SM-T535, but something went wrong and it gets stuck at boot (samsung logo) and once or twice it boots up but freezes when I'm making the initial setup (google account etc.) and restarts and stops at boot indefinitely.
Now I want to go back to kitkat and I've downloaded the correct firmware for my region (Spain), but I've been unable to flash it. Odin tries flashing it (almost completing the process), but it says FAIL at the end. I try installing lolipop again (and Odin succeeds flashing it), still stuck at boot, but I can access recovery mode. I then make the factory reset and wipe cash, and try flashing kitkat again, but still Fail.
I would really appreciate some help, if anybody has an idea what could the problem be.
One other thing, when ODIN fails I try accessing recovery mode, but it says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
Can you flash a custom ROM?
hi
i install twrp and it work just can't mount data.

Try to flash stock rom with boot and recovery and next flash TWRP.
Look at this .
Good luck.
I am having issues trying to flash a new firmware, ive tried alot of firmwares but odin keeps on giving me errors, my phone is stuck in a boot loop, i cant enter recovery mode but when i try to it takes me to odin mode and the error is cannot boot into normal mode, the reason why this happened is i tried to unlock the bootloader via fastboot, and after it rebooted it got stuck there.
Here are some of the Remedies i tried:
*Flash stock firmware
*Put in recovery mode
*Try To Flash rom with fastboot (Phone isnt detectable usin abd but odin detects it)
*Tried to re-root it but phone isnt being detected
Phone Details:
MODEL: SM-N910F
OS: 5.0.1 Lollipop
Please Help me find the correct firmware.
Ask any questions and ill try to respond asap.
Thanks
Hello,
I tried to flash my S8 with TWRP with Odin. OEM and Debugging is active. After I had some failed flashes, when I now boot into revocery (VolUp+Bixby+Power) there is a blue background with a yellow warning sign and a dead android guy and "no command" but after some seconds I get into recovery mode. Even though I made factory reset and wipe I still get the error everytime I boot into recovery. When I now go to bootloader, flash TWRP with Odin I get a succesfull-message from Odin. But when I boot into recovery afterwards there is still the Android Recovery and not TWRP.
I tried different Odin and TWRP Versions and deactivatet F.reset and autostart.
Can someone help me? According to google search the blue background with the dead android guy should be gone after factory reset and wipe but its still there.

Sounds like incorrect installation of TWRP.
Did you boot up into TWRP straight after installation? not system.
Note: - USB Debugging is not required.
- Just start up odin leave default settings - In options section you can untick Auto Reboot then flash TWRP then boot into TWRP manually before starting system.
