[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> 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.
Links here: http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16644#files
flash it in Odin using AP.

I'm in a not-so-different situation, but I need an explanation before:
what is the PIT file and where can I find one?
I suppose it's the file that contain the list of partitions, is it correct?
TY in advance, when I understand this I think I could help you!

Yes, you can find it in the forum

If your phone suddenly stopped booting then you probably have a hardware failure.

Tried to flash my phone with an older kernal and now i'm stuck in recovery mode.

Hello the phone I'm using is s5 active at&t.
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-g870aucu1ang3-gs5-active-t2868776
used this G870A_NE4_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5
But for some reason everything went to the dumps. I then looked up some guides and got a stock firmware from sammobile G870AUCU1ANE4_G870AATT1ANE4_G870AUCU1ANE4_HOME.tar.md5
Odin recognizes the phone as it shows it in the ID:COM area but then it fails.

this is what appears on my phone: sw rev check fail fused 2 binary 1
My first time trying to root. It brings me to the recovery screen with a bunch of options and I'm capable of getting it to the download screen holding volume, home, power.
Please any help would be great.
edit. also tried this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8481Qm0l010 didn't do anything, but it passed on odin
edit. trying this guide out doing note.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-update-to-g870aof2-5-0-keeproot-t3161733
edit I went through this process a few times http://www.modifyandroid.com/stock-...ck-rom-for-samsung-galaxy-s5-active-sm-g870a/ and it always fails on odin

This is what the recovery menu looks like
Android system recovery <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from adb
apply update from external storage
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery logs
enable cp logging
disable cp logging
My main problem right now is that it fails whenever I try to flash it with a stock rom. But when I flash it with a kernal or other stuff it passes.

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......

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:

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:

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 )
http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30628

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?

SM-G930A Bricked after trying to unroot.

Currently stuck with a Bricked Galaxy S7 that is in a Recovery Boot-loop. I tried flashing the stock firmware to the device and it failed.

The Screen after this failure displays the "Downloading, Do not turn off target" screen. And in small red font in the upper left corner of the screen the statement, "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [system]fused 3 > Binary 1" is shown. I don't have any clue where to go from here so any suggestions would be lovely.

I ran into same issue. Just hold power button until phone shuts down, power up into download mode and Odin flash the stock firmware for your phone again. It's a soft brick. Be sure you have correct firmware.

Same issue here - phone bricked. Odin or the Download mode of the phone fails with 1 of several errors. I have found that only 1 version of Odin works with my SM-G930A now. The last trick I think I have in the bag here is to pry off the back of the phone and make sure the stock firmware I am trying to use i the one that matches the device...
I have tried these stock images (easily google-able):
- ATT_G930AUCS2APF2
- G930AATT1APB5_User_Binary
The only version of Odin that works is the one I used to root the SM-G930A phone:
- Odin PrinceComsy.exe
It can only flash the root file:
- Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR
I have tried so many different versions of Odin, I think I am going cross eyed. If anyone has a solution for a phone that is looking bricked, please give me a shout out.
Thanks,
Aaron

I fixed my phone.
Answer for my case:
1. Load into Recovery mode
2. Reset factory defaults/wipe phone.
3. Clear cache
4. Reset factory defaults/wipe phone a 2nd time just for fun
5. Reboot phone
6. My phone loaded a long time through at the AT&T loading screen (it appeared locked, but was not)
- NOTE: You can always hard reset it and try to get through the AT&T loading screen
7. Go through Android/Samsung/AT&T welcome wizard
8. Root the phone: See permanent root section here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
- This root process side loads Chainfire's SU tool
-- NOTE: This is where things become unconventional, since my phone was not working with Google Play Services nor did the Google Store app work (I tried everything... they just would not work)
9. Open Chainfire's SU tool, go to the app's settings:
- enable SU at boot
- instead of "prompt", set app to auto-accept root access requests (normally this is stupid since some other random app could automatically acquire root access, but in this case, I was not in this state for very long. I actually had to do this because the system would not pop up notifications for apps requesting root access)
10. On a PC, download Chainfire's Flashfire app (I used this: eu.chainfire.flash_0.53-53_minAPI17(armeabi-v7a,x86)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk)
11. In a Windows command prompt running as adminitrator, put the APK from step #10 into the same root.bat folder used in step #8
12. With the phone connected (with Samsung USB drivers installed of course), run this command from that folder: adb install -r eu.chainfire.flash_0.53-53_minAPI17(armeabi-v7a,x86)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
13. Open app drawer and run Flashfire
14. Follow this guide from step #1 through step #9 (because my phone will not work with Odin nor the boot loader listed on step #10 of the guide): http://www.droidviews.com/install-deodexed-debloated-stock-rom-on-att-galaxy-s7-sm-g930a/
- If steps are followed through step #9, the phone will be in Download mode
15. Hard reset phone and boot into Recovery mode
16. Repeat steps #1-5 from my steps listed above to reset factory settings / wipe the phone again
17. Phone reboots and will appear to hang... Just wait. Wait and wait. It will load.
18. Go through Welcome wizard...
This time, all apps work, due to the ROM image used during step #14. This slimmed down ROM image has fully functional stock apps, which is great because that is now set as as the factory image for any future Recovery mode factory resets. Life saver! ...or more like a phone saver for me.
Hopefully this helps someone else.

I know this is an old thread, but im having this problem after attempting to root to stock and im stuck on the samsung custom logo with recovery booting in the top left corner. the main problem though is i cant boot to recovery mode, it simply wont let me
