Today I tried to flash the official firmware on my rooted GT-I9505, but it failed along the way and now I'm stuck with the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen. Tried recovering it using Skies but it couldn't connect to my device. Tried flashing it again but it now fails when writing into the device. Then I found out that it's write protected which I believe is the reason why odin could no longer write into it.
Is there still a way to recover my GS4 given its condition? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
Look HERE
Great !!!
I was missing the pit file
Thanks a lot
Hi guys,
First thanks for all your help in advance.
My mobile yesterday started to give me error "Not registered on the network" every time I tried to do a phone call. After google-it apparently this is a common problem on the Samsung devices and following a tutorial on the link bellow I was able to root my mobile phone without any problem and following the tutorial on idroidspace I was able to try all the solutions as suggested
As a first option they told me to try using ARIZA patch, but when I ran it says that my model is not compatible. As second option they advice me to flash my modem, I have follow all the instructions but didn't work as well, I was still receiving the error when I tried to do a phone call.
Today I was looking to find the stock firmware (ROM) for my Samsung thinking that a reinstallation could work to solve the error, but after I installed the Kernel file using ODIN v3.07 my mobile is now saying "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" message and after that is not showing any image on the screen
I'm trying to turn my mobile using recovery mode but the same message shows up and the mobile is not turning on...I'm only able to turn the mobile on using the download mode...and ODIN is still detecting it
My Mobile is a Samsung S4 GT-I9505 XXUBMEA unlocked to all the networks from UK
Can you guys please help me? I probably have destroyed the phone already and seek for help to late. But can you guys help me?
Thanks

You need to go to http://www.SamMobile.com and download the newest official stock
i9505 Odin flash firmware/rom and flash it.
Here is the firmware you need:
GT-I9505 United Kingdom (EE) 2013 November 4.3 I9505XXUEMJ8 I9505EVREMJ2
This is the latest official stock samsung jellybean 4.3 firmware for your phone.
This is the stock official firmware for your country and for your phone so it's NOT rooted.
You will have to create a new user account at SamMobile.com but it takes only a minute.
Good luck!
I'm downloading it now.
To install it I will need to use ODIN, right? Click on the button PDA and select the right? Just in case and for double checking
Also, do you think this will solve the error with the phone calls? And should I worry about the kernel message on the startup?
Thanks
is it possible to get root and recovery on these roms? no point if cant..............do i need downgrade then root and recovery?
yes. that is possible as that you will change knox warranty void to 0x1 i think.
hi guys,
I have managed to install the suggested firmware and now the mobile is turning on and I have the recovery mode back as well. The only problem is now the Wi-Fi doesn't work and the error is still there everytime that I try to do a phone call.
There is any suggestions? Do you guys think if I use a custom firmware instead of the stock one the problems will go away? Do you guys recommend any firmware for my device?
Open for any suggestions as I really don't know what can I do more...
Thanks
Hi guys,
I was just on the phone with Samsung support and they actually told me to look for an answer in the forums, and I will be surprised how much information can I find out here...
I'm writing a complain at the moment as the phone is not even 6 months old and I really don't know what to do to fix it
Any suggestion from your guys? I'm really out of options at the moment
Thanks,
So I tried rooting my galaxy note 4 (Baseband: N910AUCU1COC4, firmware version: 5.1.1) using KingRoot. After it was done it said that it was rooted, but once I rebooted it wouldn't go to the home menu
So I did some research and came upon Kies. I tried using that but it wouldn't even connect to my PC via USB
Then I tried Odin to try and install a stock firmware (N910AUCU1COC4 version 5.0.1), but everytime I did that it would just give me the fail message "SYS REV CHECK FAIL: Refer 2 > Binary 1"
Please help. I just want to be able to use my phone again. Is there nothing I can do?
keep in mind this is my first time using any of these programs and i'm extremely new to this. I'm really desperate at this point
any help is appreciated. thanks
Anyone?
Nevermind, I fixed the problem by flashing a stock rom with a different baseband (N910AUCU2DOI2) from here http://androidromupdate.com/att-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910a-stock-firmware/ and now it's working pretty much perfectly...
...except I don't have my mobile data anymore. Can someone help with that?
I managed to fix that problem as well using this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faZArwrXIO4
Good evening everyone,
is this the correct Forums part to post questions like this? If not, please tell me where to post, thanks!
As the title says, I bricked my phone. I rooted it some days ago and was trying to unroot it, by installing a stock rom. Since I didn't know how to get the correct Region code, I download a custom ROM which said "everywhere" and guess that was the mistake. I tried to flash it with ODIN, the same way I flashed the custom ROM back then, but ODIN showed an error (which I can't remember). So in the end I pulled the cable and now have an error upon start up which says "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software". Said software doesn't offer any emergency recovery function.
I can still boot into download mode. I tried to install the custom ROM again, but but ODIN doesn't recognize the phone.
What can I do to fix this? What additional information do you need to provide help?
I thank you in advance for all suggestions and wish you a nice evening!

I have the same problem.. what can i do?
Hi, my SM-G935FD has been acting weird lately, auto reboot and massive hanging issue. Thus i decided to do a factory reset. To my surprise, the factory reset was unable to complete!
It shows error E: format_volume: make ext4 failed on /dev/block/platform/155a0000.ufs/by-name/USERDATA with 1(I/O error)
Now i cant do anything with my phone, i tried to flash using odin with various stock, but it stucks at system.img. I cant do a custom rom flash either because FRP Lock is ON.
Any experts out there able to provide with some help and your expertise?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Use Samsung smart switch to restore your phone to stock just type your serial number in it I think it works even without ur screen on.

I/O error most likely means the internal storage has failed, to be sure use samfirm to download the latest firmware for your device. Check the binary nature box to get the full firmware and flash with odin.
