[Q] How to get Android version while unable to get in to the device

Hello, there
I tried rooting my device while that it got stuck. Now I have the problem "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". To solve the problem I tried using firmware recovery and firmware upgrade and installation but each time I got error from Kies such as "sm-n900 does not support initialization", "device is not responding", ..... etc
Now, my alternative try is using Odin. I need to know my android version to download its corresponding firmware version. :|
How can I know while my device is stuck showing the black screen "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."?
I do appreciate your help in advance

I tried this link to check my firmware

Do you have any idea?
:crying:

I had the same problem with this device... I had to flash stock rom with odin.
Just install kies and open it. Then reinstall usb driver through kies and then try flashing stock rom with odin, it will surely work. So good luck with that.

updating via ota isnt much good follow kies or stores

did you fix it? if yes how? I have the same problem

The best thing about samsung is Samsung Kies. There is a emergency firmware recover or something of that kind, I dont remember the name. Just install it and connect your device to it. It will try to recover your phone

go to a mobile center

Galaxy S5 can't fix bootloop, PIT mapping error Odin3.

Hey guys, i'm new to rooting and flashing. Yesterday i succesfully rooted my Galaxy S5 SM-G900F (netherlands) (no simlock). I got TWRP installed and tried to flash Xposed. My bootloader wasn't unlocked and i thought i made a backup in TWRP but didn't(ubernoob). Now the phone is in a bootloop. I only see the samsung logo and nothing else. I can get into recovery mode which is TWRP now and into download mode.
I've downloaded the correct Stock Rom to flash it on my device with Odin3 so i can start from scratch. Unlike the guides and tutorials i get a FAIL error. "Get PIT mapping". I can't find the solution to get out of this bootloop. I've tried everything i can find online but then again i'm pretty noob.
Can someone PLS help me!

[EDIT] I've tried installing firmware again with KIES according to a youtube video, it started downloading the firmware but when it tried to transfer it on the phone it said the phone isn't connected(just as it said when i started KIES3). After this process the boot loop is a bit different. I get a message saying: (translated from dutch): phonestorage damaged: the datapartition is damaged, you must reset your phone to factorysettings. clicking on : reset phone boots op TWRP real quick with a lot of text like unable to mount. and then the bootloop starts over again.
[FIXED!] no help from you guys at all. But trying a different USB port solved the "Get Pit for mapping" error. Super simpel solution. Hope this helps others!
