Hello, I have a Samsung S4 that i recently had flashed to Page Plus. Before I had it flashed it would connect perfectly to my PC, now it wont. I tried another S4 using the same cable and the PC had no problem recognizing it. The guy who flashed it wont get back to me on fixing the problem.
Anyone know how to possibly fix it ?
I tried going into developers mode and turning on USB debugging ... don't know what else to try .

Get stock firmware for your device/country/carrier from Samfirmware, flash with Odin (How ? Search). Might want to choose a firmware earlier than XXUD, flashing one >= same will give you 'Knox issues'. If you've already had firmware like this on your phone though, you don't need to worry about this, you'll already have the 'Knox enabled' bootloader so you're boned on that score anyway).

Thanks man, but this seems like a little to much for me, i'll just have to take it to a repair shop .
Hey there people from XDA Forums,
I kind of figure I messed my S4 (I9505) up. I tried to flash a DBT-firmware (branding free for Germany) on a phone I got from Switzerland including a netlock. After Odin started I got a write error and now the phone tells me there was an issue please ask Kies about recovery mode. But Kies doesn't recognice my Phone at all. Is there any chance i can get a new working firmware onto it?
greetings

Hi mate
This is an extract from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Odin troubleshooting: If Odin accidentally gives you "fail" try the following:
- Repeat procedure.
- Make sure that all actions of Kies are disabled from task manager.
- Change usb port.
- Try another usb cable (make sure it is the original).
- Try another Odin version.
- Uninstall and re-install driver.
- Use pit file.
- Try another computer.
Flashing firmware from other country should not be a problem , download file again
Where do I find a correct pit file? When flashing PIT is it always nessecary to check repartition in odin?

Hi
In your case it would be :
File Type: zip I9505_pit file.zip - [Click for QR Code] (1.2 KB, 43344 views)
Is on the thread i posted before , you only check repartition when you use a PIT file , any other case you do not
finally I managed to flash a new recovery and where able to restart the phone. As it seems the problem was my Computer. through the old notebook from my wife it went quite flawless. Now i am back to my original problems. I am on a branded rom with a sim lock and dont like both of it
will it work to just flash the complete firmware from my region? will it overwrite the netlock or where is it located?
Thanks for your help so far

Hi,
Glad you manage it to work.
Flashing a new firmware will not network unlock you phone , use to be possible to do it using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683
not anymore as far as i know , you will need an unlock code.
yeah, tried this one allready, but after key input I dont get a new menu. I guess this method is not working for newer austrian firmwares

Hey guys,
I've looked at a few threads on here and i've tried to flash the Unbranded New Zealand (XNZ) firmware on my XSG phone. I got this phone from a parallel importer.
I've tried this firmware:
updato (DOT) com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-G955FD&exact=1&r=XNZ&v=&rpp=15
which results in a soft brick where I can only get into download mode. The only way to get the phone working again is to flash this:
updato (DOT) com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=30852F83814511E7963AFA163EE8F90B
The phone has OEM unlocked, USB debugging on.
ODIN detects the phone fine, and everything will copy over. The issue is when we get to Hidden.img and then an RQT CLOSE happens. Googling around I found a thread, where it says I should be deleting this file and then flashing, but I just want to confirm why this is happening so I don't make a mistake and perma brick this phone.
Could someone more knowledgeable about this let me know what the next step should be.

You should unpack the firmware the XNZ one, remove the hidden.img file, repack the firmware and flash again. It should work that time. Which firmware was it you tried? The AQH5 one?
I wanted to update my s7 edge to oreo via odin. So, i think i just flash it bad (instead of put one archive in bl i put other in ap, idk things like that). so i saw it told me An error has occurred while updating the device
software. Use the emergency recovery function in Smart Switch. I tried flashing again the firmware in odin but it just stuck in initialization. I just tried in diferent version of odin nor switch mode.
I tried with diferent usb cable nor other usb port
When i try to recover it with switch mode it just tell that it cant because it isn´t compatible (I even put the s/n)
Could someone tell a alternative tool to odin?
Help please, i think im losing my s7
Btw, sorry for my bad english.
Don't worry it will be fixed restart using volume down-home-power buttons all together go back in odin mode and try to flash only AP
Yo ur English is fine.
What version is your phone?
What version firmware are you using? Where did you get it ?
What version of Odin?
There are only 2 ways.
Odin or OTA by your provider.
Lol i don't think the change to Oreo is worth this trouble. But since you're going down this rabbit hole, we can at least try to get you working phone in Oreo.

Don't know about samfirm. Sam mobile download is pretty safe and good. Download again in case of corrupt download if you want to reuse your firmware. Ensure that your firmware is for G935F. Boot to download mode. Unzip the zip file and get md5. Put md5 firmware on Odin (latest version) in AP section. Plug phone to computer. Make sure it says "added". Then start process.
Below link will help.

Should work flawlessly. Let me know if this doesn't help. Sorry if it's too simple of an explanation. Would rather have you understand than not.

Hello, everyone. I have a SM-G935F Galaxy s7 Edge. usb gate was broken and i started to change the software with odin. it was installed in half and I pushed the usb cable by mistake and the installation stopped. then a error appears on the screen: an error occurrd while updating the device software. i read a lot in the forums and i watched a lot of videos how to fix it but everywhere they describe and show that the phone needs to be restarted with the combination of buttons. my problem is that when i connect my phone to pc it says error: device is not recognized. I checked how to fix this error too, although I managed to fix the device manager in windows , the smart switch still does not detect the phone and the phone cannot restart with a combination of buttons. this phone is very expensive and i want to fix it at any cost. the phone is already with a new usb port, all you have to do is help me put the software on it. please help me very much.
---------- Post added at 12:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------
device currently stay off because not battery power. When I connect to charging cable phone is starting on blue screen with same error and not possible to off or restart the phone with buttons. Very strange
Try This : if not working you can check the guide how to here but you need to select the right one from here
Hello good people at XDA, it's been quite a while since I have had an android phone, and am currently stuck, I reset my SM-G950W ( Canadian S8 ) and I can't seem to flash stock firmware back onto it. I used a .tar.md5 to flash the current one, but can't seem to find a .tar for the stock firmware, and adding the BL/AP/CP/CSC manually from the downloaded packaged result in odin doing nothing or failing. Could really use some help with my expensive brick :3

First make sure u put phone into download mode if u trying to flash something with Odin,use sammobile ,samfirm app for PC or updato.com for faster download speed and download firmware for your model ,use latest Odin 3.13.3 and flash it via Odin while your phone is in download mode

That's what I've been doing
Odin seems to hang after I press start every time ( doesn't freez , just does nothing for al ong time then fails )
I'm using a G950W which is the Canadian model, but as I said every G950W FW I think I find is just not working. Tried admin mone on odin and new usb ports... I was able to flash the Factory Settings rom on there , but can't seem to get anything else

Yes to all that, I think I have the issue of finding the correct firmware now though, I was able to flash a couple things to it, but nothing seems to get me back from factory binary
