Plug into a different USB port and try to flash again.

Installing the required USB drivers might help too.

Yes, but if he's windows user , it downloads itself the drivers.

That depends on the version of Windows he's running.

Not to mention sometimes Windows doesn't download the right drivers anyways. Realistically for someone who doesn't intend to use ADB the easiest way to get working drivers is to simply install the latest version of kies, connect to it and let it recognize the device, then tell it to install drivers. It will usually say it already did but tell to do it again anyways. This will almost invariably get most devices recognized correctly by windows and functioning USB.

i had the same problem around 10 times and i always just pulled the bettery (after whatever i was installing on it had stopped attempting to access the device.) still works fine

phone seems bricked

hi my mate has and s4 9505 and he wiped the hole phone like a noob and it wont enter recovery and in odin nothing will flash tried pit file and also stockrom it either gets stuck on setting up connection or stuck on pit mapping part tried adb devices command but its not picking up the devices the drivers will be on his comp as he has all ready flashed things via odin before on the s4 any ideas people cheers

Try that:
You can use this software to repair Your dead Samsung i9505 and similar (m919, i337, L720 etc)
Note, You need to install QHUSB Qualcomm drivers first.
After flashing with this software, You need to flash phone with official firmware and PIT file, otherwise phone will be dead again, and You'll need to repeat the process.
If You get errors reported by this software (command prompt window), You'll have to replace the eMMC chip first.​

no such luck for us and that the other thing didnt work either :/

Did you install the drivers for the phone?
Did u put phone in download mode and flash with odin?
If so, trying closing all kies process, changing usb port and run odin with admin. Flash pit file and stock firmware.

What odin version are u using? Are u sure you have properly installed kies or drivers? The latest kies version? Try disabling antivirus and installing latest kies.

tried with odin 1.85 3.04 and 3.07 and yea latest kies i uninstalled antivirus to be on safe side as i no it can conflict with odin and stuff

The problems you are having are purely driver issues. Try flashing the phone on another computer.

Let us know if it worked

Try a different data cable it worked for me
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium

Well I've had some problems too today and there a couple of things you might want to try (I'm sure one of them will fix it):
- Pick a different USB port (preferably one in the back)
- Try a different USB cable (I used one from my Nexus 7, didn't work. Tried with the original S4 cable, worked)
- Uninstall Kies and the Samsung drivers from you control panel -> programs
- Download the Samsung USB Drivers again (google it) (do not install them yet)
- Download and install USB Deview (google it) and delete every driver of Samsung you come across in the list (just right click and click delete)
- Disable your internet access and reboot
- After rebooting install the Samsung Drivers (without an internet connection)
- Plug in your phone after you've installed the drivers and enable USB Debugging
- Reboot
- Enable your internet connection again
- Try to flash again in Odin (it should work now)
If this won't work, I don't know what will. A different USB port, cable, fresh/original drivers (not the ones Windows Update may try to install for you), etc is probably what you'll need to get it working.

thanks for every ones help we installed a fresh copy of windows 7 and installed every thing again and it worked fine defo must of been driver related :laugh:

Cheers now flash away like there's no tomorrow

Odin, always "complete(write) operation failed"!

Whatever i try to do with Odin, installing twrp or cf-autoroot or even a stock firmware, i always get a "complete(write) operation fail".
What could be the problem?
It's a G900F from Poland, branded by the telecom provider "Plus", with a XXU1BOJ1 firmware. CSC is PLS. Reactivation lock off and usb debugging on.

Definitely a G900F? (Does it say G900F in download mode?)
Using a native Windows PC? (Not a mac?)
COM port lights up in ODIN when you connect the phone in download mode?
Using the latest ODIN 3.11.1 ?
Tried a different USB lead / PC ?

Yes me too. .today i trying flash stock firmware 5.0 frm m'sia XME but still not pass just say fail i using odin v3.10.6 window7.

Yes, definitely a 900f. I use a Windows PC with Vista, and Odin 3.11.1. The com port in Odin lights up blue when i connect the lead.
The blue progress bar on the S5 display lights up when the upload starts but doesn't reach any further than 2 milimetre, and that's it.
Haven't tried a different pc or lead as i haven't one.

Could try factory resetting the phone first from recovery
I'd definitely try get a hold of another USB lead
Try a different USB port too
And might be worth upgrading to Win 7 at least, COM port lighting up says the driver is working and can see the phone, but Vista is ancient and known for being buggy
I know you say it is definitely a G900F, but does it say that in download mode too? Just because this is the same behaviour that occurs when trying to flash a ROM for the wrong model S5, and a lot of S5s are incorrectly sold as G900Fs, they even say it in Android and on the box and sticker
Download mode can't be changed

Try from another computer. If that also fails, then I could only think of 1 thing. Your Galaxy S5's board is damaged. This happened to me back when I owned a Galaxy S3. When that happened, I did a little research and it turns out that in some cases of Motherboard failure, it will put the board in Read-Only mode, which will render and manual firmware flashing impossible. As it also turn out, the only solution was to replace the motherboard itself.
It could be other things, but if what I mentioned will not help you resolved your problem, a visit to an authorized service center could be your only hope in getting that fixed.

Good luck

I uploaded some movies and other files from pc to S5 to see if file transfer is okay and there seems nothing wrong. Superfast and no errors or something.
If the lead or something else is faulty then the file transfers i did would give problems or not?

This is how the screen on the S5 looks like when i try to use it with Odin. The blue progress bar doesn't go any further than this.

Looks like you have ruled out just about everything other than Vista being the issue
I know members trying with XP have had problems using ODIN too

Working perfectly for me

Solved.
At first i tried a Windows 7 copy but that didn't help either.
Then i looked at the back of my pc and noticed 2 different sets of USB ports, 2.0 and 3.0.
The lead was in a 3.0 port. Switched it to a 2.0 port and now it works.

I did try a different usb port but i sticked it right next to the 3.0 port, which was a 3.0 too.
I didn't realize that i have 2 different sets of usb ports.

S8 does not show in Odin

Hello I connected my S8 to my PC and wanted to see if it shows up in Odin.
It did not show up so I tried the same with my J5 and it did show up.
Any idea how this can be fixed?

alright, do not panic, we are gonna solve this problem . Try a different USB port and/or a different cable. If you're connecting through a USB hub, use a port on the computer itself, instead of the hub. ( from androidcentral forum)
Go to odin and post here a screenshot, also what version of windows are you using ?
Try this latest version of odin https://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.12.3.zip

did you fix it ?

No OS,TWRP,USB Debugging isnt enabled...
