Try that:
You can use this software to repair Your dead Samsung i9505 and similar (m919, i337, L720 etc)
Note, You need to install QHUSB Qualcomm drivers first.
After flashing with this software, You need to flash phone with official firmware and PIT file, otherwise phone will be dead again, and You'll need to repeat the process.
If You get errors reported by this software (command prompt window), You'll have to replace the eMMC chip first.​

no such luck for us and that the other thing didnt work either :/

Did you install the drivers for the phone?
Did u put phone in download mode and flash with odin?
If so, trying closing all kies process, changing usb port and run odin with admin. Flash pit file and stock firmware.

What odin version are u using? Are u sure you have properly installed kies or drivers? The latest kies version? Try disabling antivirus and installing latest kies.

tried with odin 1.85 3.04 and 3.07 and yea latest kies i uninstalled antivirus to be on safe side as i no it can conflict with odin and stuff

The problems you are having are purely driver issues. Try flashing the phone on another computer.

Let us know if it worked

Try a different data cable it worked for me
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium

Well I've had some problems too today and there a couple of things you might want to try (I'm sure one of them will fix it):
- Pick a different USB port (preferably one in the back)
- Try a different USB cable (I used one from my Nexus 7, didn't work. Tried with the original S4 cable, worked)
- Uninstall Kies and the Samsung drivers from you control panel -> programs
- Download the Samsung USB Drivers again (google it) (do not install them yet)
- Download and install USB Deview (google it) and delete every driver of Samsung you come across in the list (just right click and click delete)
- Disable your internet access and reboot
- After rebooting install the Samsung Drivers (without an internet connection)
- Plug in your phone after you've installed the drivers and enable USB Debugging
- Reboot
- Enable your internet connection again
- Try to flash again in Odin (it should work now)
If this won't work, I don't know what will. A different USB port, cable, fresh/original drivers (not the ones Windows Update may try to install for you), etc is probably what you'll need to get it working.

thanks for every ones help we installed a fresh copy of windows 7 and installed every thing again and it worked fine defo must of been driver related :laugh:

Cheers now flash away like there's no tomorrow

loop boot quickly

Sorry for my English I will try to explain my problem.
After rooting everything was fine, but when I try to flash stock firmware somethings happen.First problem is that my PC cannot detect the phone with Odin and adb or mass storage I am 100% sure that the problem are not the drivers because I root that phone on the same PC before a week and of course I try everything on a another computer, but without success.
Download mode Odin cannot detect the phone! after many attempts to fix usb problem now the phone cannot boot , only in recovery (loop)after every start it's show recovery with message
Filesystems:
system: rfs
data: rfs
cashe: rfs
maybe system, data and cache files are erased I don't know.
recovery version is 0.1.3.b5
How can I flash stock firmware without PC. For example HTC devices can flash from SD card - Gold card, and PB99IMG.zip (I can't explain very well what I mean sorry)
Maybe the phone is usb bricked !
working..
recovery - only recovery
Download mode Volume Down + power off + camera ) - but cannot connect to PC and Odin.
not working
after flashing new costume ROM - the same thing - reboot to recovery
installed software on pc
android SDK,Kiesmini_1.0.0.10075_1,Samsung PC studio 1.5.1.10064_2,Drivers for spica on (Windows 7 x86)
really I cant find post like this !!! and sorry for my English
If you can go to download mode and phone is not detected, then you have bad drivers or bad usb in PC. Try another PC.
I have 3 pc and 2 cables and the same problem cannot detect. Can I flash new stock firmware without odin ?

Calm down. Did you read what I posted above? I said nothing about drivers. Have you tried other USB ports? Most people find the ports on the back of the CPU work the best, not ones on the front, or on a hub. It does make a difference.

Check your cable (You must use factory one)

Try flashing a different merruk kernel and see whether the pc detects your device.
Don't do it many times as there can be chances of hard brick.

I am facing a similar issue. Is there a solution yet ?
My Galaxy Y shows up the Welcome LOGO and goes OFF in say about 10 seconds.
I tried going into recovery mode/ download mode , but the operation lasts for only 10 seconds approximately.
Trying to connect the Phone to my PC fails with some "Unable to connect via USB" kind of a warning.
Any help is highly appreciated.

[Q] Trying to root with stock 4.4

I am trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (well actually i would like to install a new rom and recovery) , but i am running into a problem.
Odin3 (v1.85) only finds my phone when i am not in the recovery mode (or the sideload to be precise), adb on the other hand is able to to do sideload but the loaded images fail with "Wront footer" and "verification failed".
Some Data:
AP: N9005XXUENA7
CP: N9005XXUENA2
CSC: N9005DTMENA2
Model: SM-N9005
Android: 4.4.2 (Stock, no root)
USB Debugging: On
Reactivation Lock: Off
USB Driver: Kies 3 (also tried the CWM Drivers)
If you have KIES installed it doesn't play nice with Odin, remove KIES or kill all KIES processes and try again.

Thank you,
i removed Kies and tried again, i still don't get "ID:COM" in Odin.
Sorry I should have said, once you uninstall KIES you remove the USB drivers, you need to install them again. Again, sorry should have said

No problem,
i actually installed the "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones" Pack after removing Kies and doing the reboot stuff.
Still don't get the device via odin.
Maybe i will remove all the drivers and try the CWM Driver again.

I tried different Ports (USB 2 and 3), different Cables and different drivers.
Removed Kies3, tripple check that debugging is on and recovery lock is off.
Still, Odin finds the device when it is not in recovery mode (sideload),
Was another user who had the same problem had to use another PC, I'm struggling to think of what may be the cause.
I had also the sane problem. I also tried all ports on my PC but did not work. I installed KIEs on my Laptop and it worked. I could flash the CWM recovery.

Put phone in download mode then with Odin NOT running, plug USB cable to phone. Finally ran Odin ( I'm assuming you installed Samsung USB drivers ).

I did this on a new computer that never saw an Android device before.
Odin does not detect my device despite following this advice and the one before.
I installed Kies, made my device known to the Windows Device Manager, rebooted, connected device while in sideload-mode and waited until detection was finished. The next step was firing up Odin3 v1.85 and my device didn't show up, but i was able to use the adb sideload which failed with "Verification Error" when installing a new recovery or rom.
Could it be that the phone being branded by T-Mobile Germany changed the game even though the model is just plain SM-N9005 ?
Is there another option to root this device or preferably install some other rom without Odin?
Never ran into so much trouble with my Asus eeePad, the Samsung I9000 or the HTC One X.

Well when stupidity strikes you...
I always went into the recovery rom (Vol+ & Power & Home) instead of going with the odin mode (remove battery, power device on with Vol- & Home & Power).
Thanks everyone who tried to help me, but you were no match to my blindness ^^
Maybe this might help someone who utilizes the search function after he or she didn't read the tutorials carefull enough.

If the phone won't turn on at all you might be boned.
Odin and all that obviously require you to be able to boot to download mode.
Are you positive the battery is good? Could you find another battery to try?
Does the charging light come on when its plugged in? Are there any signs of life at all?

I think it does turn on because the phone does continue to heat up but its just a black screen also i can put it into download mode and it stays there without being plugged into charge. I'm not sure about the battery ill have to check that out. ill get back to you.
It sounds like you dont have recovery or a rom installed at all.
To fix that you need odin. If the PC wont recognize the phone that is a problem. Did you try a different USB cord to connect to the PC? They are not all created equal.

yes i have used both the original one that came with the phone and the s5 one that my brother has, i have had no luck.
my phone shows up as "msm8960" or mtp usb device also it it device driver software was not successfully installed.
[UPDATE] i have found something similar to odin called JOdin3 that connects to my phone, through this i will try to flash a stock firmware, downloaded from sammobile, and see what happens.
Odin doesn't work without the drivers, and since you had an issue with the drivers that would explain why Odin doesn't work yet JOdin3 does.

No it still wont connect to either but the computer does recognize the phone.
MTP is built into Windows, so the fact the PC detects the phone is a good sign. The entire problem you're having seems to hinge on your PC rejecting the Samsung drivers, which are absolutely required for Odin to function. Those drivers should have no problems installing, and I have successfully installed them on both Windows 7 (x64) and Windows 8.1 machines so I know the installer does work.
There could be many reasons as to the source of your problem, such as a corrupt file or registry entry from when the phone soft-bricked. You want to take a closer look and do some detective work here. Uninstall the drivers if you haven't already done so. Clean out the PC with CCleaner. Even attempt a reinstall of the drivers in the PC's safe mode. Regardless of what you choose to do, if you ever wish to use Odin, you'll need to get this resolved.

yeah ill definitely try to fix the problem because odin is such a great tool. i have uninstalled and installed the samsung drivers but i'll go search the net and what not to try and find a fix. odin was working before when i flashed the stock rom and changed something to mtp and adb (i think i put in an ussd code or something (*#0808#) and through that i was able to use odin) but because the wifi wasn't working on the stock rom, i flashed a custom rom to fix the wifi problem but was once again greeted with the odin problem.

[Q] Stuck in Download Mode

I have a G360P Boost Mobile version. I rooted the phone using Kingoroot and things were working great.
I rebooted the phone at one point and now the phone only boots in Download Mode.
It doesn't seem to be recognized by Odin or by Kies either.
Any ideas?
***EDIT***
More Info, I'm using Windows 7 x64
I tried ODIN v3.09 and then v1.85 and Kies v3
I have tried multiple USB cables in multiple ports.
Just for future reference I was able to exit download mode by disconnecting USB cable and holding down the power button for 10 secs.

honestly like someone mentioned here install the samsung drivers for your phone. I had the same problem, it not being detected until I did that. As far as the rebooting go back to stock. Flash the stock image with odin, or remove root and hard reset the phone using recovery. Hope that helps.
I guess I had assumed that when I installed Kies that the correct drivers would have already been installed. I downloaded the drivers from the Samsung Website HERE and was able to flash the stock firmware via ODIN. From that point I was able to boot up and install system updates. Thanks you two for the help.

I googled for a bit and didn't find much other. The results suggested it was a Tracfone model. If that's true I've always had problems finding firmware for Tracfone models, but have sometimes managed to get away with using a firmware from a similar model.
Samsung 820L Product Page (No downloads here )
Phones that may have similar firmware???
If you run out of options I would suggest trying Kies - may not hurt at that point.
