Galaxy S5 won't flash to stock OS. - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I tried flashing my S5 with the new Cyanogenmod 12 but i couldn't get it to boot with a custom recovery .. it just wouldn't want to so i decided to go back to the stock OS and start fresh.
But now it won't work at all. The phone boots normally and everything . I can use it (it also says the root is still working) but when i try to flash the stock OS 5.0 it fails.. I tried many versions of Odin and even older os's .. nothing works.
What can I do to get it back to normal and then maybe install cyanogen again??
(i tried posting images but it won't let me .. i need 10 posts)

Only if i knew how to do that :| ..

Plenty of info in the forums if you read a few threads
Just add the PIT file to the PIT section in ODIN and the ROM to the PDA/AP section - hit start

What version of ODIN you using?
Try 3.10.6
Or 3.09 if you've tried .6
Run it as Admin too

Got the Samsung drivers installed?
Tried a different USB cable & port?
Different PC?
You are running this from a PC, not a Mac running Windows right? Macs always fail

Yeah i do have the drivers installed . also tried all my USB cables and ports but i can't do it on another pc since i'm in holidays right now and i only have this laptop with me and yea is a windows pc not mac.

Running out of ideas...
Definitely chose the correct PIT file for your model S5
Reactivation lock disabled on the S5?
S5 is in 'Download' mode? Volume Down & Home & Power
Could try factory resetting the phone

If it's a G900F, you need this PIT file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2721101&d=1399024091
Extract first before adding to ODIN
Does ODIN tell you which COM port the S5 is connected to when you have the phone connected?
It should light up at one of the top rectangle sections with COM:6 or whichever number it's using

I will try this pit now and yes it does tell me the port

OK, so we know it's not likely a driver issue then if it can see the port
Be sure your phone is the G900F though, it tells you in settings > general > about device

Read my edit above - everything needs to be for the G901F
ROM and PIT - if you're trying to flash a G900F ROM, that's probably why it was failing in the first place

Can you help me figure out my provlem w/ Phone

Yesterday my phone just went pitch black when i was using it tge only lights on were the back button and the menu one beside the home button. Nothing worked. Power. 3 button both recovery and downloading. So i pulled the plug and took the battery out. When i turned it on i noticed my theme went back to the stock one. All my user data was erased. No apps were installed. Market maps and youtube have an icon on main page but say "application not installed on phone" when i click on it. My camera wont work either it says "Turn off usb storage before using camera" when i go to my gallery/music player/video player/voice recorder it says "SD card unmounted or not present" and when i use My files it says "Your phone does not have an SD card inserted"
Has anyone seen problems like this at all? If so can you tell me how to fix it please cause this phone was hella expensive and all it is right now to me is an expensive phone bill that i cant use features for...
Are you using an external sd card?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I have one but its not in the phone. I took it out a week or two ago.before it happened
Are you familiar with 'Odin' ??
Get your self a firmware and flash it, and see how you get on.
You do have the 3 button combo right ?
Yes my 3button combo works. and i know how to use odin. can you point me into the direction of the latest firmware for bell. cause if i need to return it they will see if its on their firmware and stuff.
When im using odin i get this

dont use PIT file unless you have all 3 files...
So remove the PIT and flash and you should be ok. Most firmwares now only come in 1 .tar file so dont worry about it...
If the flash doesnt fix your problem, you will need all 3 files and PIT, but im not familiar with bell firmwares so you may have to do a bit of searching for that one.
This is what i have.

Ok well ****....

No its not ****ed, dont panic.
Is your download mode still working ??? Do as i said earlier with all 3 Files and PIT.
Then in Odin CHECK RE-PARTITION and when you have all 3 files + PIT loaded i.e PDA, Phone, CSC, connect your phone (in download mode) and flash it.
Make sure you Have all 3 files and make sure they are in the right section. And also make sure the firmware that came in 3 files is supportive of Bell SGS
PIT goes in PIT
PDA goes in PDA
MODEM goes in PHONE
CSC goes in CSC
@Gordon_Jeffries
Please check the followings:
* Use only the original Samsung USB-cable.
* Restart your PC and move the USB cable to another USB-port.
* Without using Odin,put the phone on download mode and connect to your PC, let your PC install the drivers, disconnect when done.
* Start Odin and load the firmware file without a pit file and no re-partition.
* Re-enter download mode, if the phone is still on download mode then you need to hold the three buttons until the phone re-enters download mode, connect to the PC and flash the firmware.
* If the flash goes well then do a wipe/factory reset from recovery.
ok well i can get it to download mode. but i dont have the CSS and or phone. does anyone know what the most current up to date bell firmware is?
it doesnt have to be a new firmware release...
Does Bell not have a single firmware in all 3 files ??
as a last resort you can use darkys resurrection (odin version) That comes in just 1 .tar file and you can use 512PIT with it..
I have used it many times to get me fixed up.... And im sure its compatible with bell (but check first)
Ive tried everything. JL2, JK3, Jk4, JH2, JPY, Darkys resurection. nothing works it just continues never ending boot screen...

Can you enter recovery mode? If you can then do a factory reset, if that does not help and you have a 16GB Internal SD-card, then it's very likely that Internal SD-card of your device is dead.
No i cant enter recovery mode anymore. and yes i have a 16gb internal SD-card.
thats what i was hoping it wasnt... ok well i phoned bell and they said they will bring it in for sercive.

What you could do, is go to samfirmware.com, register and search for i9000. Or if you want to download a i9000b rom, press this link: http://hotfile.com/dl/146652827/84f8d47/I9000BVJJV3_I9000BSAMJV2_SAM.zip.html

S5 (SM-G900H) Stuck on Boot Logo?

I have looked at every single thread on how to fix this issue, and I have tried all versions of odin 9.x and up, different firmwares for this model, Booting into recovery, which fails, and flashing a recovery in odin. Everything that i try to do with odin results on getting stuck on "Initialization...." While it does not with my s4. Any Help?
And If I try to use Kies or Smart switch, it says device not supported, and if i go to emergency update, it downloads the firmware but stays at 0 percent when installing. I have tried multiple pcs, all on windows 10. I have access to linux if needed, and I have about 40 android cables in my house. I am open to options

S8 only booting into Download Mode

Hi Guys,
Strange thing happened yesterday. My unrooted Galaxy S8, sitting on the arm of the couch just turned itself off and wouldn't boot back up. I knew the battery had been low so I assumed it had run down. Upon plugging it into multiple chargers, I found the phone was a brick and not reacting at all. I left it plugged in overnight and when checking it in the morning I found it had booted into Download Mode. "Great", I thought, "I can work with this".
I held power and Vol Down for a couple of seconds to see if it would boot normally now, and it just powered off, totally unresponsive like the night before. I left it plugged in again and when I came home from work it was back in Download Mode. After plying with it for the evening, I've found it will only randomly boot into Download Mode after being off and unresponsive for a number of hours. Doesn't respond to any key combos when off (but keys are obviously ok as I can power down from Download Mode).
I've tried flashing the correct firmware from Sammobile via Odin but this fails every time. Odin sees the phone (COM0 or whatever) but seems to be unable to flash.
Any key combos or software anyone knows of that might help me breath life into the thing? Does Kies Firmware Recovery still exist or is that EOL these days?
I should note, I've rooted and installed custom ROMs etc on a countless number of phones in the past, but this one was untouched until I started having these issues.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Original cable?
Latest Odin version?
4tlg.Firmware?
Other PC?
There were sometimes problems with Windows 10

Yes, original cable. I have a second Galaxy (which is rooted) and managed to flash it using Odin fine using the exact same PC, cable & Odin so I don't think it's an issue on that side. Adding a screenshot from Odin to the original post, hoping someone may be able to help.

Don't use the re-partition potion and avoid using PIT as those are not the cause of the phone being bricked. Which firmware are you using and what is the Sales (Region / CSC code) being displayed on download mode? Plus what is the AP SW REV line displaying as well?

Thanks. Initially I avoided trying to re partition but since it was giving me a partition failure and the phone is already bricked, I thought I might as well try (didn't work anyway)..
I haven't tried the PIT yet, but last night i found this thread below so I'm going to try that this evening.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/corrupted-pit-t3602079
The killer is that every time I try to flash something and fail, I have to wait about 4 hours for the phone to boot itself back into Download Mode, which makes troubleshooting difficult.
I'm using the latest Vodafone Ireland Firmware (CRLC) from Sammobile, which is the correct firmware for this device. As for the questions around CSC and AP SW REV, I can't say I saw any info like that on the download mode screen but will check this evening and post here any further information.
Thanks
So, unfortunately the phone has now stopped even booting into Download Mode every few hours. Looks like it has just bricked itself.
Funny that this is the first Samsung in years I haven't rooted or messed with and this happens! Will try bringing it to a Samsung store.

Funny that this is the first Samsung in years I haven't rooted or messed with and this happens! Will try bringing it to a Samsung store.

Ok, back booting into Download Mode, everytime i try to flash any firmware in Odin, it start with Set Partition in the COM window and the below in the log:
<ID:0/005> Odin engine v(ID:3.1301)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> Total Binary size: 5691 M
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..
<ID:0/005> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/005> FAIL!
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Re-Partition operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
To be clear, I have not ticked Re-Partition or a PIT file and I still get the above. I also tried set the PIT and re-partition to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas of something to try?
Hey, Did you manage to fix this? I am having the same exact problem
