Hello, I'm having problems rooting my s4 i9505 v4.4.2
I would try and install a different version than the one I had on my phone but this did not go as I thought.
I used Odin v3.07 and try me out, but something went wrong I did not finish what I was doing, and will now cancel all together.
Now comes my problem. When I turn on the phone (after empty battery) comes into download mode. If I use the phone, I only use it in Safe Mode.
Could you be so kind and help me to make my phone back to normal? What do I need to do. I am using android 4.4.2.
My phone must be switched off in mist 15 hours before it turns on "normal" (with all apps) Trying to connect it to Odin again, but what must I do to get your phone back to normal mode?
Excuse my English, but googgle translator is my friend now

flash stock firmware 4.4.2 via odin. you can not downgrade to 4.3 or to 4.2.2 because of the new bootloader
if you want to root go here http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip, scroll down and click on CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip. Unzip it and flash it via odin as ap. flash root after you flashed stock 4.4.2 firmware
Hello, and thanks for a answer
I have not installed 4.4.2 on my phone. This version was upgraded by samsung its server. (original) for a good while ago
My phone was put into download mode AFTER I tried to install a different operating system via Odin.
so my question is: How can I disable the download mode on my phone?
( I don`t know how I use Odin ) Who should I choose: Bootloader, PDA, Phone or CSC ?
Best regards from Norway

Good Lord, have mercy....
So, in post #1, you have stated that you used Odin... in post #3 you are telling us that you do not know how to use it...
OK...go here, pick your preferred stock ROM (from 4.2.2 options). It will lead you to download page, which contains a short but good instruction, answering your question what to flash as well.
And, DO NOT interrupt the flashing process.

I know but if the server (I think you mean OTA) updated it to 4.4.2, odin will fail to flash 4.3 or 4.2.2 so download 4.4.2 firmware and flash it via odin as pda.
Go to settings->more tab->Device Information-> Press home + power buttong. it will take screenshot.
plug in usb cable to pc and to galaxy s4
go to internal storage-> screenshots upload it here so we can see which version you have
Hello
Ok .... sorry. I tried using Odin, but could obviously not, since the phone is in download mode.
I do NOT want to install anything. Just want back my old phone as it was. Then again. How do I disable download mode?
Do I need to install anything on the phone.... to get it back to normal startup .... WITHOUT download mode?

IF your phone boots to download mode, it usually means: corrupted update of ROM or not completed update. This means: currently there is no operational ROM on your phone, sorry.
Furthermore, you CANNOT use Odin WITHOUT going to download mode. To use Odin, you MUST set your phone to that status.
Now, going to your situation:
You have two options:
1. when phone is in download mode, download and install Samsung KIES to your PC, connect phone and follow the procedure. It will most lokely download and install the latest firmware available for your phone.
2. Go to mentioned by me earlier page, download manually firmware of your choice, and follow the instructions there.
NO OTHER OPTIONS.
Hello
I have installed KIES, there are no updates available
also .... KIES do not get contact the phone when it is in download mode.( I try that now )
Sorry that I ask, but what is ROM? is the operating system android 4.4.2?
ps: you say: Furthermore, you CANNOT use Odin WITHOUT going to download mode. To use Odin, you MUST set your phone to that status.
I can not connect to Odin when I put my phone in download mode.

Jon

1. Yes, ROM is operating system. no, it is not necessarily the 4.4.2 version.
2. Odin shall see your phone if you'll connect it to PC. On PC: start task manager (using Ctrl+alt+Del), go to processes and kill everything with KIES in name. Then start Odin, then connect the phone, wait approx 20-30 secs and make the screenshot from PC. Put it here.
3. I did not asked you to perform the update, but to perform emergency recovery according to this procedure (may slightly vary depending from the KIES version.
However, if the phone is not visible on your PC by KIES and by Odin, it is something wrong more deeply... Connect the phone to PC, go to device manager and take a look if it is visible there (like samsung phone, android phone/device or adb device).
IF your phone is not visible by PC (assuming that the Samsung drivers are installed correctly on your PC, it shall be installed with KIES), you may have to go to the service center as your only available option.
You may try the JTAG option (use Google to look for it), but it is too complicated for newbie, sorry.
PS: sorry, for me it is obvious, but may be not so obvious for you: battery shall be above 60% while starting connection to pc in download mode. I'd recommend you to charge it fully on phone turned off, then start checking connections.
ok
So just to summarize:
You have no idea how to use Odin, yet you decide to flash your phone?
You don't have any backups?? That's the number 1 rule to do.
What rom did you try to flash? Did the flashing succeed? Or didn't you flash any rom, but where you just trying to root it?

I have just bricked my newly-bought Note 3 (N900).
I wanted to flash the latest version of Note 3 via Odin 3.08 (from 4.3 to 4.4.2). I made a big mistake as I didn't enable the "USB DEBUGGING" mode before go to download mode.
I clicked start in Odin and it show FAIL!!!
After I restart the phone all I see on the screen is the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I tried to recover it through Kies, but the it shows the phone is not connected or not support. Meaning the Kies cannot communicate with the phone at all.
I also tries to flash in Odin many times, but it still fails.
Please!!! Can anyone here give me some solution.
Thanks.

I tried many time already, but still fail. I think because the usb debugging mode was not enable at the first place.
Thank anyway.

Usb debugging has nothing to do with it failing when you're using odin. Try a different version of odin.
A simple reflash via Odin 1.85 or 3.07/3.04 will fix it.

USB Debugging has nothing to do with odin flash, make sure while flashing below steps.
1. Update boot loader is selected in odin.(Edit:for single file not required)
2. Disable antivirus.
3. make sure note 3 drivers are installed.
4. kies not running in bag round.
5.Clear Factory Data & Catch before flash.
if all of those step fail..
try to flash ur rom on other computer or laptop

You've indeed saved my day... I've been searching high and low, installing various versions of Odin3, downloading tonnes of tar, tarmd5, zip, etc.!
Pardon me for my ignorance, but I never intended to root my cell phone in the first place. I was merely following what Kies suggested, "A New Firmware, Wanna Upgrade?" Oh, truly? Gee, thanks! And **** it, it screwed up my GT-N7000, saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." and my cell phone never saw the daylight again, regardless how I started it, factory-reset mode wasn't possible at all, only download mode could be started up. Tried with various methods of Odin3 on multiple ROMS, to no avail, until I read your short reply. BAM! (As you put it...)
Thanks a bunch, mate!
I have a similar issue with my sm n900. Lost my imei and baseband, i needed to flash a custom rom to get my baseband before working on the imei, after flashing via odin phone boots to samsung logo then goes blank. And recovery says E failed to mount efs . But i need to use adb on my pc. So how can i possibly enabe usb debugging in order for adb to find my device?
Flashing a stock ROM from sammobile.com via Odin does not require USB debugging. Flashing a stock ROM will flash everything, including modem, bootloader, and recovery.
My N900 Bricked
I am unable to Go to download mode not even the charging symbol too
no Luck at all phone is not starting need a Unbrick or help me how to get it sorted
galaxy Note 3 Sm N900
Tried to open the phone to short the wire but the shorting mentioned in all the imagees doesnt match the design of the phone internal

For two weeks, my Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F has no signals. It keeps showing No Service, I can't receive calls/messages at all.
I have used Smart Tutor to contact Samsung, their engineer reset the system (maybe), but couldn't make it work. Then I sent the phone back to UK service centre, they sent it back to me quickly with doing anything --just because my phone is not in European warranty. :crying:
The details of the phone:
IMEI is right, fireware is Country: Hong Kong, PDA: G900FZHU1BOA1,
From I have read, it seems like the Radio was turned off. But I don't know how to turn it on.
I tried to enter Service mode by dialing code *#*#4636#*#* but it didn't work for me.
I can get into ServiceMode by code *#0011# but I don't know what to do next.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is the modem not for the UK? (btw, the phone was from Hongkong, but I use it in the UK)

sorry for the bad english.
Are you able to get into download mode (press and hold Volume -, Home, and Power)? If so, head over to sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com and download the latest ROM for your device. To know which ROM to get, you need to know what carrier you are using and the model of the S4. Once the ROM is downloaded, install it via Odin to stop your bootloop. Afterwards, root, then install TWRP 2.8.6.0. Do not install Philz as that recovery is no longer being developed, and may not function correctly with Android 5.0.1 or later.

1) odin always crash on my pc it happens every time i connect everything as i need to and then when i click start it crash and i dont know why i tried to serch via web but.... nothing.
2) i dont know realy what is my model the only thing that i know is : galaxy s4 i9505 is there any way i can know without looking inside the phone in setting.
thank you for everthing!!!
For Odin, try a different port on your PC, always use the original USB cable whenever possible, and make sure Kies isn't installed or if installed, isn't running. Try a different PC if necessary.
Regarding your S4, is it unlocked? If not, what carrier are you using, and what country are you located in?

Try connecting your phone when its in download and try with Odin, if it recognize your device than just flash stock rom.

Try a different version of Odin first. For me only 3.09 and upwards works.
Install Samsung kies 3 to make the phone recognizable by pc and try flashing stock firmware with odin 3.09
First of all, you should download the drivers and stock rom from Sammobile.
Found the drivers here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/k93a92c9rpyg4r5/Samsung-Usb-Driver-v1.5.55.0.exe
(not sure if they work, go and ahead install them and boot to download mode, then see, if odin recognizes it)
Latest Odin download: http://odindownload.com/
If the drivers work and your device is connected to the computer(also boot into download mode) and odin recognizes it:
1) Choose bootloader, then search for your downloaded firmware.
2) Head to the options tab and tick "Nand Erase All", "Phone EFS Clear" and "Phone Bootloader Update".
3) Then hit start and wait it to finish.
It should delete everything on your phone, restore it like it came out of the box.
If the drivers don't work let me know, I'll search for other working ones.
Hey all, new Android user here. I just rooted my device with no problems, but it dies and I recharge it, but it just goes to the "samsung" screen, and will vibrate 3 times quickly followed by another about 1/2-1 second later, then repeat every ~15-20 seconds. I am able to run it in ODIN (download) mode. I was told I need a new rom/firmware, can someone show me how to do this without ruining my device? I didn't save a backup because I assumed I would have no problems
I have had 0 problems before this, and even after root I didn't experience a problem.
Model: SM_G530T
FYI I am a mac user so have downloads be .dmg's.
Thanks in advance! If you need more info, tell me!

pls help I want my phone back
You'll find your stock firmware on samsung-firmware.org
It'll be tar.md5 format, perfectly normal.
Add it into the AP/PDA in Odin and it'll flash fine.

teach me how to upload to odin pls
Make sure all your drivers are installed, turn your phone off, plug the USB into the computer.
Start Odin (right click, properties, run as administrator and in xp compatability mode)
Put your phone into download ode (VOLUME UP, HOME, POWER)
Plug your phone into the computer. Odin will say "added" in it'd output box.
Press the button PDA or AP (depends on version) then select the firmware you just downloaded (tar or md5).
Once loaded into Odin, press start, it'll flash everything and then restart your phone.
Let me know if you need any more help!!
Edit:
Please ensure you are flashing the correct ROM for your phone. Bad firmware or recovery images can cause some bad problems.

Not that I'm aware of, but Google is your friend, friend.
Home + Volume Down + Power, that starts your phone in download mode which Odin uses to push software.
Your phone needs to be in download mode to do anything at all with Odin.
Also, why not just spin up a virtual machine and use the windows Odin, Windows is much better for all of this sort of stuff.
