ODIN is unable to flash stock firmware for Galaxy S4 SC-04E

Hi,
I need some assistance. I have an S4 (SC-04E) and it has TWRP custom recovery loaded in it. My colleague accidentally clicked wipe system from TWRP and it wasn't able to boot at all. So I thought I'd flash the stock firmware in order to resolve the problem. However, when I flash stock firmware on ODIN, it fails and gives me an error:
<ID:0/012> Initialzation..
<ID:0/012> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/012> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/012> aboot.mbn
<ID:0/012> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/012> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
How do I resolve this? The original firmware was 5.0.1 and I tried flashing both 4.4.4 as well as 5.0.1, but both have failed. I googled the error and I was unable to get relevant results. I downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile. Any idea what I can do for this issue?

Your phone doesn't boot because your friend wiped the Operating System from it. The recovery should boot and flashing any custom ROM through it should make it work again.
Regarding your Odin problem, make sure you have done the following:
Used a different USB cable
Used a different USB port
Used a different Odin version
Tried another Windows
Tried a completely different PC.
All of the above can affect the outcome of flashing with Odin.

Bypass FRP? Can't get passed activation Setup Wizard

I recently re-installed a custom ROM and after installing a couple of the necessities apps and downloading Xposed (not installed) I would get random lost of wi-fi, lost phone's data, and couldn't send texts. I rebooted and lost root. Therefore was unable to perform a backup or re-flash ROM. I tried clearing system cache, rebooting, anything else i could think of and finally did a factory reset so i could flash stock firmware. Oh and my external SD card all of a sudden was corrupted. Once in the activation Setup Wizard was unable to activate the phone because the data wasn't working. I also tried removing the sim card and trying through wi-fi but again couldn't connect.
I've been searching for hrs and trying every method of bypassing the Set Up Wizard. Non have worked because most of them involve accessing the internet.
I've also tried booting in maintenance mode and enabling USB debugging to flash firmware but have been unsuccessful. I've tried different versions of Odin and all failed.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I could really use the help!
Forgive me if I'm missing something incredibly obvious or a previous post mentioned this issue as I did my best to search for one. I'm new to rooting as this is my first rooted phone which I only accomplished a couple weeks ago. And i realize now that a factory reset, (which I believe doesn't wipe the ROM, correct?), wasn't very smart while i was having network problems.

Can't turn on my phone, can't open twrp, Odin fail Galaxy s8

Hello everyone,
I'm following this forum for mounths but just had chance to register.
I tried to root my phone, then I think something went wrong. Turned on the phone and used for a while, but had a fingerprint sensor error. After that I reboot the phone, but while showing the Samsung logo, I got "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" top of the screen. And phone was automaticly turning off after that.
Then I put the phone download mode and tried to install official firmware. Odin was failed.
I tried to flash bootloader only, and fail neither.

I thought maybe the stock rom that I trying to install is older. But now I can't open the TWRP with the buttons for the wipe data. The Samsung Galaxy logo views, after that it turns off.
Trying to install twrp again, Odin gives me fail too. Now I can only open the download mode.
I need my phone today urgently for contact with my colleagues.
Please ask me for the missing informations and please help me ASAP.. Sorry for my bad and complicated English..

Try to flash an earlier Version of the bootloader maybe QF7.
I found the flashable odin archive at https://mega.nz/#!5Q4TATzQ!DT2OQO01KHfw7HsVNElZSfZ4DHoO9W99k3dJqfumMhg for s8 and at https://mega.nz/#!dMZ0zbDL!oYrcBh8DeOqMFeO9QObu8eNXVrjsajXICJ0o3MJPJ-o for s8+.
I also find a video for this issue at https://youtu.be/VTi3uBkpJic
Try this and reply back..

Or just try to flash the stock rom without the cm.bin/ bl firm.

My solution did work. Download the latest firmware and install it with Odin. Thanks everyone anyway..

SM-T580 Soft Bricked - Odin Wont Flash Stock Firmware

I have the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 SM-t580. It was on 8.0 stock prior to this. I attempted to flash TWRP a couple of ways to no avail. I did a factory reset and attempted another method, but I believe I forgot to turn on OEM Unlock after the reset. Odin now will flash a TWRP successfully, but trying to boot into recovery either loops or presents me with glitchy horizontal lines. Trying to flash the 7.0 stock firmware (XAR) from Sammobile results in failure (maybe because it has an older bootloader?). I've tried just the AP, AP and BL, and AP, BL, and CSC. They all fail. There doesnt appear to be any working OS on the device at this point. The only thing I can access is download mode.
After trying the flash stock firmware I get this message in odin:

Took a lot of figuring out. But My bootloader would only accept the latest version of the stock firmware (Oreo) and I had to dig to find a working TWRP. If anyone has any questions I gothca.

I was having the same issue and bricked/unbricked my tablet a few times before figuring out it will only take the latest firmware. Which version of TWRP worked?
I'm trying to downgrade as the last update caused an "Authentication Error" every time I tried to connect to wifi.

Did you find a working TWRP for Oreo? Can you post the link or say the versión of TWRP?
I used the twrp-3.2.3-0-gtaxlwifi.img.tar (lastest by now) but only had the red vertical lines in recovery mode

Same problem and I solved it flashing the content of this file CF-Auto-Root-gtaxlwifi-gtaxlwifixx-smt580.zip
Extrated from this documentation: w ww.techmoviles.com/rootear-galaxy-tab-a-sm-t580-sm-t585-con-cf-auto-root/ (fix the blank between the w)
This flash don't load a working TWRP in oreo, (because it is for nougat), but it fixes the recovery on oreo restoring the Android recovery.
I hope it helps you

OK. Got given a TAB 10.1 a few weeks back and decided to boot up Odin for the first time since my Note3. Hated the Samsung stock ROM so went through the same journey of trying to install TWRP over Android 8 only to find it soft bricks the tab. EVENTUALLY realised I could only recover with Android 8 which i have.
SO question is can I install TWRP over Android 8 or do i have to downgrade. If yes to a downgrade is it just a case of grabbing Android 7 off Sammobile?
Thanks in advance.

Use this TWRP. It should work: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78148216&postcount=169

There was a newer one on the same day though - it's what I'm using and it works fine
Then again my tablet was on stock Nougat - so no idea if @xballumx can use it on Oreo ... but I don't see why not since it still works on an Oreo custom rom :fingers-crossed:

Hey bro
you are using the wrong flash file your phone Binary is 4
check that the flash file name contains U4

Pretty sure that over a year and a half later they've sorted their issues ... or threw the device under a moving truck already :laugh:

Majorly Messed Up Rooting, Can't Flash Stock Firmware

I'll try to give as many details as I can.
Recently I did a root, which worked perfectly fine. Didn't know what I was doing, so I looked around and downloaded Xposed and did all the steps to get it on my phone. After opening it, it asked to download additional firmware or updates or something. I agreed, and the system rebooted once it downloaded what it needed to. Then, when it rebooted, it told me that it was unable to authorize or verify, or something. Essentially it wouldn't let me back into my phone and I didn't know what to do. So I downloaded the most current firmware for my model from Updato, but it didn't seem to work. I tried doing just the AP, then doing the BL-AP-CP-CSC, tried both Home and non home versions as well. After that, if I'm not in download mode, it tries to update software, and then runs a quick string, and then repeats, which I assume is just a textbook case of boot looping.

Can't post links, but on Updato, under SM-G935U, the first one with 8.0.0 is the one I used.
I tried some suggestions I found looking around, like changing out the USB cable, but ultimately it didn't help and it was fine to use to flash the original root in the first place, and I have Samsung drivers installed.
I would really appreciate some insight. Appreciate it.

sounds like you took an OTA while rooted.
I think you're ODIN flash might be failing because you're OTA might've updated your bootloader.
You need to determine the build you're on from recovery if you can get there and make sure you're flashing a build with the same (preferably) or greater (bad if you want to go back) bootloader. The 5th digit from the right is the bootloader version.

First of all - are you sure the phone got rooted in the 1st place? As your KNOX seems still 0x0 you probably did not modify too much...
Anyway - something to try is to flash the stock with additional PIT file included which rewrites the partitioning from scratch. Try that one
