Help!
I need some advice. I had stock 4.2.2, flashed omega v14 and then 4.3 GE ROM. I did not know about knox and I have tripped it. It shows 0x1 now. I understand that I cannot change that, and that is ok.
But I cannot flash any firmwares now.
I have tried the pre-rooted 4.3 in Odin:
I9505XXUEMK8-PRE-ROOTED-KNOX-FREE-ODEX-FULL
failed.
I have tried official 4.3 for my carrier:
I9505XXUEMJ7_I9505TENEMJ8_I9505XXUEMJ7_HOME.tar
failed.
If I try to flash cwm it boots, but it just stays on the google logo, and does not continue. If I try to enter recovery I get a message about secure mode and it does not enter recovery.
If I flash stock recovery, I can get into recovery. I have tried a factory reset, but it still boots to Google logo and nothing else.
What should I do? There must be a way?
Same issue with me. Looking for solutions. You can install Pacman rom without any problem.
Can someone please give me some pointers?
I have now tried to install the newest firmware from sammobile, even though it isn't for my carrier. It also fails in Odin. I am using 3.07. I can flash CWM and I can get into CWM now, but there's nothing on my sdcard. So I can not flash anything from CWM.
Is it possible to load files onto CWM when the phone won't boot fully?
Is there a firmware I can flash in Odin that will work in this situation?
Should I try Kies? Will Kies be able to sort this out?
Right now I have a brick.
Try a different usb port, different cable, make sure kies is not running in the background and try Odin 1.85.
Make sure you're not mixing up "SDcard" partition on your internal storage with your EXT-SD Card the one that you physically inserted into the device! Save the zip into both maybe and wipe cache, factory wipe, then flash the ROM. Try another cable and USB, try a different recovery e.g. Philz!

During the failed flash-attempts, my sdcard is now empty. I have no files in CWM to flash. How do I get the files to my card? I don't have an external sdcard.
Trying Odin 1.85 now with latest firmware from sammobile. Right now the phone will not boot, I can't flash anything through Odin (due to knox?) and I can't flash anything from CWM since there are no files there to flash...
Edit:
Odin 1.85 also fails. I cannot install any firmware now.
Knox will not stop you flashing with Odin. It won't really affect anything except, potentially, your warranty.
Where have you put the Zip file for the ROM you want to install? You need to point CWM towards it directly, whatever folder it is in... Are you doing that?
You could buy an SD card for a few quid and copy a ROM onto that if needs be... I would flash Philz recovery and Wipe Cache. Wipe factory reset (install a new ROM Option), click Install from SD Card and navigate to the folder.
If your entire SD Partition is wiped you'll need to hook up to the PC and copy the zip back over in download mode.
EDIT: Sorry if this is real obvious or I'm missing what's wrong. I figure if you're anything like me you're a bit anxious about this, just going step by step, we'll fix it!

OK so i haven't got an S4 but i do have the mini and have a similar problem.
MJ7 got released but not for my country, so i flashed an AUS MJ7 firmware. Now it has been rolled out to my country and i cannot flash my original FW back due to different CSC. AUS CSC=MJ1 & UK CSC=MK1. (Failed in Odin)
so my theory is i cannot now flash any other regions firmware and stuck with MJ1 CSC. (AUS Firmware)
Can you remember the original FW you flashed when you had knox 0x0?
Hope this makes sense. I'm not getting any replies on S4 mini forum.

I most likely had I9505TENEMJ8 or the one before that (MJ5?). It is Norway TEN. I have downloaded the latest for TEN, MJ8 and it fails in Odin. Right now I would be happy just to be able to flash anything at all...

I had CWM. Tried to flash stock recovery now, but I can't boot into it. I do the usual, then a green android shows up, then shifts to lying on his back with a red exclamation mark over it. Then the phone reboots and stays at the Samsung logo.
I am soon ready to give up. Nothing works!

How do I copy a file over through download mode?
I have tried adb shell with CWM booted, but I get "unauthorized device error"
I think I will buy an sdcard, but that won't solve my problem with not being able to flash anything with Odin. But perhaps I can get a working rom flashed through CWM.
I had no problems flashing roms with odin before knox. Now I can not flash anything at all.
Edit:
I have also tried connecting to kies now like this:
http://androidcentral.us/2013/09/how-to-fix-firmware-upgrade-encountered-an-issue-on-kies/
I get a message saying model GT-I9505 does not support initialization.
So?

Boot it into download mode and copy the zip over with windows explorer, into the internal memory. Navigate with Install from Zip option in CWM (maybe try Philz, it definitely works for me, with Knox 0x1) and install.

OK. I went out and got an sd card. Copied over a rom zip to the card, flashed CWM and rebooted into recovery. Chose install from external sd card and ran the file. The setup started and ran for a few seconds, then the phone rebooted and I am back on the Samsung Logo.
I just can't flash any firmwares on this phone no matter how. Knox or not, but it all started when I tried to reflash stock rom using odin after the knox flag was triggered.
Any more ideas?
Edit:
just tried Philz recovery also. Same thing. Update runs for a few seconds then reboot. No go.
Edit 2:
Philz has the option to clean for installing a new rom. It also fails with this:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p27
I suppose this as something to do with nothing being able to flash here. What Can be done with this?
Edit 3:
Success!! I was able to flash Omega Rom V14 through Philz. I actually installed and is running. I do get two knox lines at boot, one yellow and one red, something about the kernel not being something...
Now to investigate what the h*ll happened.
I am still unable to install any firmware through Odin. Going to try the Google Edition 4.3 again since I kind of liked that. But what actually happened here?
I'm happy to hear you got it working! I have no idea what caused it, first thought is corrupted zip files for rom. I'll have a look into it.
Sorry didn't get back to you, fell and injured my back, had to go get injections!

Mj7 is not a 4.3 rom. Have you tried to flash any stock 4.3 rom (for example ubuemk1 fob latam) or any other you are sur to be 4.3? Samsung alerted clearly before updating to 4.3 you won't be able to back prior versions any more...

Solved! I do not know what solved it. I managed to install Omega Rom V16 through Philz recovery. From there I rebooted into Philz again and did a total clean to install new rom.
I downloaded a newer Odin, 3.09.
I flashed the same firmware which failed yesterday, 4.3 NEE rom.
This time it worked! So something helped.
Thank you to everyone who chipped in. It seemed rather hopeless yesterday.
I know the feeling man but is possible you were downgrading and you can't do that with knox now.

You can try flashing TWRP it support usb mount on recovery then transfer OMega Rom again..
Kies wont work on your phone because your already in the custom status.
Hey guys
I have a Hong Kong Note 3 N9005. Yesterday I flashed the 4.4.2 sammobile update to my phone using ODIN 3.09. I had auto reboot and f.reset ticked. The ROM was put in AP and I hit start. Then I received the error Invalid ext4 Image. Turns out that Hong Kong versions of the N3 cannot install European ROMs. Since then I have not been able to boot my device into android. I just loop into download mode telling me it detected a firmware update. Kies was no help.
The update DID update the bootloader, so now I cannot go back to stock ROM. I have tried a few things. I tried flashing the stock Hong Kong ROM MK1, it fails. So i found a guy that fixed a similar problem buy removing the aboot.mbn file and repacking the ROM. Tried that too and the ROM flashes but it leaves me in a bootloop. Phone turns on says booting recovery then restarts. I also tried cf-root in an effort to flash another ROM still not working. I cannot get into recovery mode no matter what I do.
It seems I have run out of ideas and am reaching out for help.

Hello thanks for replying.
Only problem is I cannot get into cwm or twrp. Any advice on what I can do to try to get CWM or twrp working? I can flash with ODIN. But with the CWM I tried it still just boot loops and does not allow me to get into recovery.
Thank in advanced.

Same Issue here. I tried to install the 4.4.2 N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_N9005XXUENA2 update on my Note 3 via odin 3.09.
Got an ext4 update failed error.
After this, the phone's bricked and is stuck on the Kies Recovery Screen. I tried to go into recovery mode in Kies, but it says this model does not have initialization.
I tried installing a 4.3 N9005XXUDMK3_N9005TNLDMK1_N9005XXUDMK2, but again failed. Download mode shows SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] Fused 3 > Binary 2
Can someone please guide me to unbrick my phone?
I don't know what ROM I was on initially. It was the stock ROM that came with the phone.
I dont have CWM and TWRM installed.

Got this response from MrAndroid12 in another thread I'd started:
"This is not a brick at all. Just add a .pit file and restart the upgrade via Odin again.
You should be fine."
I don't know how to add a .pit file though.
I am certain the bootloops are because it flashed the new bootloader. I think your best option is to wait for a dev like indie to release Omega V7 and try to flash that through Odin.
Or if you can extract the different partitions from the original thread you can try push them one by one with Odin.

It is the bootloader yes. But it NEEDS the bootloader to be able to boot in to KitKat. And there is no downgrading once you've installed the new BL.
Best option is to re-flash via ODIN again and not wait 2 weeks for a Dev to modify a custom ROM...

are u worried abt ur warranty?
coz if u flashed stock 4.3 then knox was installed too ..
and with knox tripped, u loose ur warranty ..
If u don't care abt that, wipe clean everything then flash any rom, it will do fine..

My Galaxy s7 broke down and had to go back to my old galaxy s4, but I have a big problem or small, want to install this room but I can not install any recovery.
I tried everything in these last two days, stock rooms SamMobile, kernel's, TWRP, ROM Manager, philz Touch via odin .... via zip file ..... bootloader and modem .... pit files ... .pages and pages on xda ... different odin, cables.....everything
And always appears this error
E: footer is wrong
E: signature verification failed
If anyone can give help to fix this I am very appreciated, I want to install this room, but it's complicated
Thank you in advance
And sorry for my bad english

Stock firmware firmware from Odin includes stock recovery.
Flash again with Odin by doing this: uncheck everything in Odin except f reset time, flash rom, when you see the word reset in the status window, remove USB cable from phone, remove battery for three seconds, replace battery, use buttons to boot directly to recovery, factory reset/wipe, reboot.
believe it or not I've done it in a post here on xda, I tried everything
different computers, even if the smartphone is original

Is the phone rooted? Or can you root it?
If it is or you manage to root it, you should be able to flash a twrp.img file via Flashify.
yes, is rooted
GDReaper with Flashify I made it
finally yupiiiiiiiii
Thank you all for the great help, problem solved
thank you .... thank you, saved the day
thank you to all
So i was going to install a custom ROM on my g530h via twrp, and im new to this
I downloaded the file that the app asked me to, and acidentally flashes It as a boot, not as a recovery, now the phone just stays in the download mode, and I cant install the stock ROM with Odin, It gives me a different setor every time
Please help
What file did you actually install like what model was it exactly for ?
Post some screenshots of odin.
try watchin this.. i also have the same problem this week but i find the ways to fix it just flash the stock firmware of g530h xcu using odin so i use the xcu phil firmware which is 4.4.2 and it works.. just flash the stock firmware.. hope it helps...
Do you have any other method because when I rooted the divice I deleted some system files then lost USB connection with pc I tried may way to make it back like downloading the driver from Samsung nothing work and tried different stock rooms and custom ones all of them had the error 7 or md5 file not found by the the same thing happened with the os I made the boot to recovery by accident and lost the system .
