[Q] CF Auto-Root Failures

I am trying to use CF Auto-Root for my GS-4 i9500. I power up my phone in "download mode" but as soon as i do it already says 'Downloading... Do not turn on target!!'. I waited for a while (watched a tv show so probably 40-45 min) and nothing changed. The upper left says; Odin mode, ..., Write Protection: Enabled, eMMC BURST MODE enabled. I turn it off and back on in download mode (still says 'Downloading...'), load up the binary, connect the phone to my comp (odin says 'Added!!' and recognizes the COM port it is connected to), and click start. About half the time i get:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..
<ID:0/004> Removed!!
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I have tried 4 different USB ports and 3 different cables. I can simply click restart in odin and try again when i get this error
The other half i get:
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/005> recovery.img
<ID:0/005> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/005> FAIL! (Auth)
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
in the upper left on my phone I get, in red; start [224, 1440], secure magicode check fail : recovery. This requires me to reboot the phone for another attempt. I have clicked the PIT button in odin and there are no files there.
I have found some similar threads for the first failure but they all seem to require re-partitioning and re-make (?) the PIT file which is apparently "extremely risky". As for the second failure, I found several threads with a similar failure but they were regarding going back to stock and seemed to be caused by a bad recovery image?? On the up side my phone will still boot into factory software just fine, but I would really like to figure out what I'm f-ing up.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help

If I were you, I would look for a custom recovery and flash this. I use Philz Touch Recovery, you can root it from it and it works perfect.

flash it in Odin using AP.

recovery will not flash

Hello, after hours of searching on google i cannot seem to find a solution to my problem. I am running 4.4.2 NC1. I have rooted it with towel root and tried flashing twrp with rom installer. It claimed success but now i cannot boot into recovery. I have tried flashing twrp with odin but it gives me this error:
"<ID:0/006> Added!!

I have tried restarting my computer, phone and using a different chord. Im at the end of my rope here and need some help. Thanks in advance.

You can't flash twrp. The only recovery you can use is safestrap. Start by reading this

S4 does not run anymore after flashing TWRP

Hey guys,
i gut some serious problems with my Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505)
I was running Cyanogen Mod 12.1 with CWM Recovery. After trying to update to CM13 and the appropriate Gapps i noticed some problems installing gapps with CWM. After searching the internet i decided to try it with TWRP instead of CWM. So i used the App Rashr Flash Tool to Flash the latest TWRP Recovery.
After flashing TWRP i rebooted the device and got stuck at the Samsung welcome screen. In the right upper corner is displayed the following:
RECOVERY BOOTING. . . .
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
Unfortunatelly the phone does not load the recovery or start the OS. The only option i recognized is to enter the download mode by pushing Home + Vol.Down + PWR.
So i tried to use Odin to reinstall TWRP correctly over download mode and this is what Odin puts out.

When i now restart the phone i got following message on the screen:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again
After installing Kies it says that my device is not supportet...
So no i have no idea what else i can do to get my phone running again...
Does anyone has an idea?
Best Regards and thanks

Did you try flashing the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com?
Maybe use Odin to flash the latest version of TWRP to see if you can enter recovery?

The solution is easy. Use a different usb port / different usb cable.

Well a different USB-Port got me one step further.
It seems that odin flashed the recovery successfully:

<ID:0/007> RES OK !!
<ID:0/007> Removed!!
<ID:0/007> Remain Port .... 0
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
After that my phone booted back into my current android / cm OS
Unfortunatelly, if i try to reboot directly into the recovery, i get stuck in the samsung welcome screen again. Means i can not access the recovery...

Use a different recovery thats my advice, i have a same issue as you maybe someone could help me, i open a new thread there also

Try this: unchecked everything except f.reset time in Odin before flashing TWRP, connect phone, flash TWRP, when you see the word "RESET" in the status windows, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, use button combination to boot into recovery. When the phone powers up, let the power button go but keep holding home and volume up.

somehow i fixed it...
i re-re-reflashed twrp and suddenly everything went fine.
Thanks for your help and real quick responses!
great forum!

Can't Flash Stock Firmware with Odin. HELP!!!!!

It's been a long day... Let me start by saying that i had my device rooted for a month without any issues. Last night, i noticed some apps were killing themselves for some reason but i didnt give it much thought. This morning while i was working, i noticed the phone app was crashing and not responding, so i decided to restart it. It ended up getting stuck on the T-Mobile boot screen. I tried to boot it into recovery mode, but it wasn't the normal recovery mode. It didnt give me option to scroll up and down with the volume keys. It's just a black screen with:
RECOVERY BOOTING......
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G935T
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
FRP LOCK: OFF
WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
HP SWREV: B3(2,1,1,1,1) K1 S2
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
It just stays on this screen until i power the device off, and it goes right back into a bootloop. Also, i can't boot into safe mode either.
So, I figured I would try to flash the stock firmware with Odin. I downloaded the firmware and tried to flash it and got this error:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..

<ID:0/004> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I did some searching and found that i might need to flash a .pit file, so i found the one for my device and put in in Odin. I tried to flash it and got this error:
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..

<ID:0/005> FAIL!
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Re-Partition operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
At this point, I have no idea what to do or try. I need my phone for work and ive already missed today. If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

We need just a bit more info bro. What firmware you attempting to flash? And what firmware was already on the device? If you're on OTA would be good to note as well..

You need check at "re-partition" in Option Tab, and in PIT Tab, you download PIT of G935T, browser it then flash with your ROM via Odin together. Magic is happening )

Same issue here
I've tried to flash stock 4APIA to my SM-G935T TMO S7 Edge and I have not been able to get it to work. I am about to try the pit file, partition check and full 4 files to see if it will work now, I will keep you posted.
Have you been able to resolve the issue?

Having A Hard Time Flashing TWRP With Odin.

I've been gone for awhile. I've always been rooted until I got a phone that couldn't be so that made me less active on here. Then that phone broke and I got an Iphone given to me. I won't be getting another Iphone. That wasn't fun for me. Now I'm back at it with a phone that can be rooted and is already rooted but I can't get to the next step for some reason. The problem I'm having is that I can't get odin to flash TWRP for nothing. Here is my log if that helps. Just give me advise and I'll see what I can do here.
I'm doing all I can to get xposed on this phone so I can get those handy dandy addons.
In recovery mode it says I have the ''heroqltevzw''. I tried using google I even looked on here but I can not find any information about ''heroqltevzw''. It's either heroqltechn or herolte.
Using Odin3 v3.12.7. Used A Few Others But It All Gives Me The Same Problem.
Some info about my phone.
Model Number: SM-G930V (VERIZON)
ANDROID vERISON: 8.0.0 (OREO)
Build Number: R16NW.G930VVRU4CRE5
Debugging Is Enabled And So Is OEM Unlock.
