good evening
I am in a bit of tight spot
and before a srew it up (more) I wonder if you could help
I have a SM-G900V which is rooted and I had TWRP working just fine
I tried to flash a rom (project infinity) with aroma which freezed on installing aroma
the developer replied to me that the problem was from TWRP which had a bus and that I should instal CWP
I tried to install CWP on top of TWRP through ODIN and got a failure message
as of now I have neither TWRP or CWP or any rom flashed in mydevice
once I go into recovery mode and try to flash the previous rom that I had through the sdcard it says "footer is wrong signature fail" an reboots and gets stuck with no rom
just tried to reinstall TWRP through ODIN and got the failure message again
with the folowing message:
<ID:0/003> Added!!

Hey man,
Sounds like you're in a bit of a pickle. Not sure if this would be a bit extreme, but I'd download the stock firmware and flash it through Odin. After that, reflash recovery and retry your rom.
I kind of see flashing back to stock a 'fail safe' in most cases, so it's always handy to have the stock firmware stored somewhere anyway. ?

Don't flash anything until someone discerns what went wrong..
being impatient at this point will put you at high risk of bricking or worse.
The phone boots normally up until the footer error?
What is the exact error message that you see?
What version of TWRP did you have?
Any backups? If so, do they include your baseband, EFS & PIT?
16 GB ROM?
Did you have a Verizon ROM when this happened?
Rooted?

let me start by thank you for your time!
I am a bit new to all this, I have flashed some roms in the past so I am also familiar with some stuff...
The phone doesn't boot it gets stuck like the attached picture, the OS doesn't start.
I don't see any message as it is stuck like I mentioned before, I just saw a message of "FAIL!" in Odin when I tried to install CWM on top of TWRP
my version of TWRP was 2.7.1.0
I had a backup on TWRP but as I dont see TWRP working anymore I dont know if its still available
my phone is 16GB
my SM-G900V is rooted and at the moment I had working perfectly SpeedROM v1 Rev2
if you would like to contact me through chat let me know, and again thank you very much!!
Try this

Okay, on the positive side there isn't anything to suggest that your bootloader is corrupt which would make this a lot harder. Probably the failed aroma install just messed your kernel up. But I don't want to recommend messing around with shortcut solutions e.g. just flashing the kernel that may or may not work, but would put you at unnecessary further risk.
The earlier suggestion to flash a full stock image is generally sound advice, but it does not apply to all situations. My questions were basically aimed at getting a sense of whether you have corrupted the bootloader or partitioning which has a bearing on how to best recover your phone.
First, I am assuming that you do not have the Dev (unlocked bootloader) version S5. If you have the Dev edition with the unlocked bootloader, do not proceed with the rest of this post until we discuss that.
On the assumption that you have a regular 16 GB Verizon SM-G900V S5, then I would like to see you Odin flash a full stock S5 Verizon image that has been rooted. Unfortunately I couldn't find anyone who has made and posted a stock rooted Verizon S5 image like that. I don't mean a stock rooted (custom) ROM.. I mean the full stock firmware image, including the bootloader, but rooted.
That's fine. The rooted part would just be a little extra insurance put against theoretical possible snags i.e. Knox issues. So I will suggest that you use Odin to flash a full stock Verizon S5 image, with an explicit partition table. Normally we don't touch the partition information (PIT) in Odin, but in your case we need to.
Download the files below from this thread
Unless you already have the file on your PC
Verizon S5 Retail Tar 4.4.2 NCG baseband and Mar 31 kernel
MD5: 699a949b57c771b00db9f3ed675c7a5e
NCG Pit
MD5: 3dd82f91a02c82e60e0a1f9964fdb5c0
Odin 3.09
MD5: 810ad286967d0a33881fd8181d35959f
You should thank the OP in that thread for collating the files that you need in one place.
Particularly that all important PIT file.
Start Odin and check these three boxes only: Auto reboot, Re-Partition, F. Reset Time
Choose the PIT file in the PIT window. Note that the PIT file needs to be extracted. Do not leave it zipped.
Choose the stock firmware tar.md5 file in the PDA window. The tar.md5 file needs to remain tarred i.e. tar.md5 or .tar
Put your phone into download mode. Ensure that your phone is off, remove the battery for a few seconds if necessary, then press volume down + home + power until you see the android robot screen come up. If it doesn't go into download mode, repeat these steps. And in the very unlikely event that you can't get into the download mode at all, stop and post that information
Connect your phone to your PC, Odin should say that it has detected your phone
Press start and let Odin flash your phone
Basically we are replacing all of the system files and assuring that your partitioning has not been corrupted
When Odin finishes with a success message your phone should be back to normal. Do a normal reboot to confirm
If you did not backup your phone, your user files in the /data partition might still be accessible
Decide if you wish to back them up or not. Do so if you need them. Then do a factory reset from the Settings menu
You will need to re-root and reinstall your apps, etc
If you run into any difficulties:
If the Odin write fails, note the error message and double check that your Odin settings were correct
Do not close Odin. Pull the battery from your phone for ten seconds.
Then replace the battery and go into download mode again (vol down + home + power)
Note whether Odin detects the phone
Then try flashing with Odin again. Note that you are not closing the Odin program if the first flash attempt fails
Odin can be a bit picky and it is not unheard of to have to reset the phone like this and run the session a second time
Odin is also picky about USB cables. If you still continued trouble, try a different USB cable and USB port
Don't despair if anything goes astray. There is almost always an alternate way to go about something.
Let us know your results so that we can (hopefully) celebrate. Or at least regroup.

you senior member??? pppffffffff
you should OWN this forum!!! thanx a lot for your extended time in this explanation mate, I will proceed and let you know
Agreed. I use a Dell and sometimes I have problems with odin using the front usb. I have to use the read usb and then no problems.
Hi Guys!!
I am back, back with my phone completely restored
A special THANX to fffff for your help!!

Hi Guys
After trying out ART I realized that my System Partition went up from 5.5gb (Approx) to 7.2gb(Approx). At the time, I thought that as soon as I returned to Dalvik the System Partition would restore itself to normal but it has not.
I have done a lot of research but have not been able to work out how I can get my 1.5gb back now that i have returned to Dalvik full time.
I was wondering if there is a way to restore the system partition back to its stock size via re-partitioning or some other method. Is this what the Re-partition check box is for in Odin? If so, does this mean I need to flash a fresh stock rom and go from there?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Try re-flashing the stock firmware for your device via Odin with the PIT file.
You can obtain a PIT file from another device in its original state.

Thanks mate.
Will give it a try tonight.
Never use a pit file unless a firmware requires it.
The safest way is to use kies and do software restore from settings. It will flash the latest file for your S/N.
Just remember to add the pit file before you check the repartition box in Odin lol
I've heard of a few people being told to repartition, so they've just ticked the repartition box, but not added a pit file. If you do that, your phone is hard bricked, and only a JTAG box will fix it..
But it's a safe procedure if you do it properly, I've done it many times.
Hi guys
I recently flashed OD4 Stock Lollipop to my phone via Odin with PIT file. It flashed fine but device randomly freezes, pc doesn't detect it (although downloading mode is fine) and the worst is DEVICE DOESN'T WAKE UP SOMETIMES. It just doesn't respond to buttons. It randomly reboots as well. My device had no issues since I flashed via Odin. What can I do???? I have backups from an aosp rom and a custom Touchwiz.
Device : I9500 With 32GB SD
Stock Rom and Stock Kernel
No root >> Can do it if its necessary
Thx.

Well, you could a another solution that for others is risky but it's not, if you follow the steps carefully. Flash your correct firmware (with the correct pit for this firmware) with odin 3.10 and check f reset time, auto reboot and Nand Erase All (you will loose ALL your internal data), re-partition (as you have PIT file), and Phone Bootloader Update. When flashing process is finished, the system will reboot to stock recovery and will appear an android repairing, after it it will reboot in Samsung startup but it will not boot, so you must boot to recovery with power+volup, wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache again. Then reboot and wait, it may take up to five or six minutes approx.
i leave attached an odin version that is woking fine.
I hope it helps.

Alright man I did everything you said and IT WORKED! THX VERY MUCH!! I had a 5.0.1 Chinese Firmware on my PC's hdd (4 files + special PIT) and i flashed it with your Odin and it went good. But I didnt have the Google Play Store on The CHN firmware so I restored my Prism backup and its working flawlessly now. Before flashing the CHN, the backup had the same Lockscreen issue. Now I have the CHN bootloader also. But when I flash the latest OD4 from sammobile (1 file + PIT from another site) It just doesnt flash (FAILED!). So I tried with NAND Erease etc.. then it worked, BUT THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN! What is wring with the OD4? Im on Prism now (flashed CHN before restoring). I want the stock OD4 because its updated. Do I need to flash OD4 with 4 files or with a special PIT?
(sorry for bad english)
Thx

Try flashing OD4 this time ticking auto reboot, re-partition, bootloader update, and f reset time, but without flashing the pit file, only the tar.md5 (if so) in AP. As i know the pit for china differs from other countries cause that, google and some bloatwate, and as far i know, OD7 firmware doesn't come with an seperate pit file. You must factory reset before doing this.

Hi,
a friend wants to recover his pictures, movies, documents... from his galaxy note 4. The phone doesn't boot (it gets stuck on the first screen where "samsung galaxy note 4 powered by android" is displayed).
As it could still boot in download mode, I tried to recover the data by flashing twrp with heimdall and making a backup on an external sd card.
But twrp freezes after 1 minute approximatively each time I use it and the backup failed.
I found also this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/note-4-debrick-img-t3488114
but I didn't manage to download the whole debrick img on mega.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

freeze your phone before trying to use it with TWRP.
Keep it as cool as you can get during the whole process.
Take a look here, I ve been there, I manage eventually to debrick my phone for a while.
The ultimate fix was replacing the motherboard, but this could help you boot up and hopefully save your files

Thank you, I'm trying to do the procedure with heimdall because I'm using linux. According to my pit file, I have 30 partitions and I don't know where I must load the 4 files (BL, AP, CP and CSC) in heimdall-frontend.

I can point you out the link on how to flash bootloader and modem using heimdall
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71445806&postcount=10
also a general link of use of heidall you can find here:
https://gitlab.com/BenjaminDobell/Heimdall
flashing though the repair stock rom (stock rom divided in the 4 files set, BL, CP AP and CSC) I have never seen that happen using heimdall.
I am not saying its not possible to be done, I just have never read about it in our threads.
How difficult is for you to find a windows pc and try it using odin?
That is a way many times have been taken even from me and I could probably give you better answers and help.
Just tell me if you want to do that and I am here to help.
But keep in mind that if you do that, it would probably erase your internal storage and so, even if it boots, you may still will not be able to access your files any longer.
If I was you, I would try to flash TWRP on it and then, with the phone freezed and keep it cool as much as possible, I would try to copy the internal storage to an ext sdcard .
If you could flash TWRP and stay on it enough time, you could connect the phone to a (windows) pc , where samsung usb drivers are installed, and by that way having access to the phone so to copy the internal folders and files
Actually, when you extract the files BL, CP, AP and CSC, you find all the files needed by heimdall-frontend + 1 file TRLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN200M.pit inside the CSC that I didn't load (I preffered loading the pit of my device).
Unfortunately, the hidden.img.ext4 was too big and the flashing step "--HIDDEN hidden.img.ext4" failed (I think because I didn't load the pit file of the CSC). I will try again with the appropriate pit file but I'm afraid that the data are lost.
I have a question : if I don't tick "re-partition" with another pit file than my device's one, will the partition table be erased ?

Seriously, I dont know.
All I know is when you are making 4 files set flashing using odin (also 1 whole file rom flashing), I have seen message
''getting PIT from file'' , meaning the program is using the PIT (partition information table) that the particular rom needs for been flashed correctly. Maybe thats why your hidden img was not able to flash, because they had different partitions size, between the new rom and phones partition.
Theoretically, internal storage is not erased when you flash a new rom, as storage partition is not involve in the flashing and it stays intact. So if you are able to completely flash the rom and boot up, the chances to find your files is strong.
As I said, theoretically, because even if it flash, many times rom is stucked in a bootloop while booting up.
In that case, the only way to escape, is to boot in recovery (stock recovery) and perform a factory reset and wipe user data then reboot system, as the rom is having trouble with old data partition that cannt handle.
So not hitting repartitions in your case could be the reason, but also is the most common emmc error, when phone is too hot, the connections between cpu and emmc (as they are one ontop of the other) are getting loose and the system cannot write data on the emmc.
Thats why we suggest freeze the phone and keep it as cold as possible during this process.
Nothing else to suggest here my friend, sorry
Hello everyone,
I have a phone beyond2qlte and I accidentally checked the "Re-partition" button in Odin without PIT, the storage only recognize 32GB now (The original size is 512GB). i am so stupid and would be so grateful for your kind help.
My phone is Snapdragon and tried every method to flash TWRP but still bootloop. I just want to have a phone for normal use now, but it seems so hard....
I flashed BL,AP,CP, CSC but still failed...
Please help me. Thanks a lot

Have you attempted a factory reset?
I think you have to flash PIT file from your S10+ firmware.
here the articles you can follow :
