Samsung Galaxy S4 (19505)- unable to flash from recovery - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I am unable to flash custom recovery on my galaxy s4. I already flashed CalyxOS on my Pixel device successfully so i have a little experience with that. I followed the instructions from lineargeOS website step by step - I downloaded Odin, recovery image and Samsung USB drivers. When I entered the download mode and tried to flash custom recovery using odin, this is what happens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The process is stuck, tried to restart my device several times, the USB debbuging is enabled as well.
edit: Phone is not bricked, I am able to restart it to the current OS anytime.
Thanks for any suggestions. !

Downloaded the latest version of Odin and repeated the procedure. Results on the screenshot below:

Haha, the problem is solved. I installed odin on my old spare laptop and succesfully flashed custom recovery.

[Q] Cant get into recovery to flash SuperSU Zip on Yoga 2 (Lollipop)

So running the Yoga 2 10inch tablet, with the new lollipop rom that was just released. I cant seem to get into the recovery to flash the SuperSU zip by using the recovery tool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096
Im using the latest version of it, and tried the T4 option yes but no luck.
Heres what comes up on the tabets screen when I run the tool on my PC and it reboots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This comes up on the tools command line when its running also:
Odd thing is, I rooted this very tablet earlier today when it was on kitkat before removing it on this PC. Ive tried two other computers and same result. Any help greatly appreciated.
I have the same problem like you
I used "IntelAndroid-FBRL-05-16-2015-PTR.7z" and "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip" and it worked with Lollipop 5.0.1.
Here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1j7Qr4n1Z15NmlxbUlUbXJFSlk
Edit: you use the same FBRL version or the latest version? Your screenshot says 05-16-2015-PTR...

Stang ROM on Galaxy S7 Edge build PI3

I just purchase a Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge 32GB
this is my build # mmb29m.g935vvru4apI3
I followed the rooting instructions and got root.
Well I realized the hotspot didn't work :/ so I tried installing the Stang ROM
that didn't install, and I downloaded the PI3 stock rom image and tried to install that via oden
but it fails. I've included some screenshots below.
Will Stang work with PI3?
If not how can I restore back to stock?
Thank you for your help

I'm currently using stangs rom on pl3. When it fails that's normal it will fail the first time you just have to load the files together (don't click start yet) in Odin, restart your phone in bootloader mode until it says device added and then start.

upon booting recovery (volume down and power) im seeing pheonix OS
Haven't really been in this space for awhile, but the end goal is to install a custom ROM onto this device, I was going to attempt to install twrp recovery and then install lineage OS or some generic OS. How do I interface with phoenix recovery in order to boot a custom rom?
I have exactly the same situation like you. Did you make any progress?
I managed to not only get to fastboot, but I also managed to use SP flash tool and WWR MTK to extract the firmware off it. I have 4 of these devices to mess around with

Samsung SM-T580, custom binary blocked by FRP Lock

Hello,
Knowing nothing about it, I had rooted using twrp and magisk in order to install a custom rom on my old Tab A6 SM-T580. It worked but since I hadn't found anything in potable rom I wanted to delete the root. On a site they indicated that it was necessary to uninstall magisk. I also removed the oem unlock which seems to be an error because when I turn the tablet back on I have this message and it turns off again afterwards:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I then tried to flash an official firmware with odin but I have this result:
Then the tablet showed me this:
But that smart switch tells me this model is not compatible
so I come back to this screen:
I tried again with odin and it freezes on setup connection:
Is there a solution, please?
if you need to flash custom firmware first turn off oem then do that
The problem is solved by using home_csc file and not the csc as I did the first time. Thank you.
