Bricked after ODIN flash
Started out with 5.0.1 rooted. Flashed TWRP and CM 12.1 which went great. Wanted to go back to stock Android so I downloaded 5.1.1 from Sammobile, put my phone into Download Mode (without wiping it) and just flashed it with ODIN. It failed, and now I can't go into recovery, neither start it "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again". Read somewhere that I could flash a pit file, but I will probably brick it for good if I try that. Does anyone know what I could do?
Note 4 (N910F).
Solved it after several attempts of flashing different modified versions of stock roms

My Sprint Note 3 has been out of commission for over 24 hours now, and I have resorted to begging you fine people for help.
I've been rooted running the unofficial cyanogenmod lollipop rom for awhile now, and yesterday I decided to flash back to the stock recovery/rom due to some issues with my network.
When I try to use odin to flash CF-autoroot it fails at writing the cache, on my phone it says "unsupport dev_type"
When I try to use odin to flash the stock recovery/rom "N900PVPUBMI3_N900PSPTBMI3_N900PVPUBMI3_HOME.tar" odin fails at "aboot.mbn"
I can't boot to recovery because i get a message that says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
I obviously have no idea what im doing. Any ideas?

HI boot in "download mod" and flash a stock rom via odin pc
HI Guys,
I flashed the Lollipop 5.0.1 CHN firmware and rooted the phone to install the Google apps, then when the India Firmware came i tried to flash that via Odin, it failed. and bricked the phone, could get into download mode but all firmware i've tried fails.
i tried numerous thing to a point where i can now only get CWM- recovery or TWRP open recovery on the phone, and then it allows me to get back into download mode with swver A3, but Odin still fails almost immediately.
help would be much appreciated
regards
Brendan

So this means you can into Download Mode which is quite a good thing.
Now what you do is download the particular Kies for S4 from the OEM site and connect it when your phone is in Download or that wierd Yellow Triangle with the sign to connect to PC, and then kies will try to save ur phone.

Odin completed success fully, but now phone just hangs just after it askes to select the OS language ps. i used the lollipop india rom with the pit in the mentioned post
install a custom recovery using odin like philztouch and do a full wipe to install new rom
will i need a new PIT file?, after full wipe just Odin and lollipop 5.0.1 as normal?
Hi,
I have searched these forums and i am surprised to see that i am possibly the only one with this issue. I have previously rooted and flashed custom roms on my note 3 (SM-N9005) without issue.
The last flash was back to stock 5.0. Now when i try to flash recovery with Odin it does pass then i reboot manually into recovery and i either get boot error odin mode or it just reboots. When i flash a stock firmware the phone does not wipe even if wipe partition in odin is ticked.
There are a few roms i'd love to try out but i'm stuck on the current stock as i cannot flash recovery on my device. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
It looks like you flashed something wrong which mada all these problems
Try to use kingroot or any other app for rooting other than the traditional method
Root it and use rashr flash tool from play store to install recovery
look like for some reason my s4 lost software when, am booting it shows me,
firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
I can only boot to download mode no recovery mode
I downloaded android 4.4.2 Kitkat for my device and tried to install it via Odin but Odin get stuck on initialization I don't know why I tried 3 different version of Odin and all of them do the same thing and I tried to flash recovery and it also shows the something how can I fix this and install new rom if Odin won't work and there is no recovery to flash even custom ROM.
thanks for the help in advance
Did you try different USB cables? Is the phone assigned to a com port in Odin? Where did you get the stock ROM? Did you try flashing the least stock ROM?
I am new to flashing and custom roms but i have had lineage OS installed for awhile on my old galaxy note 3 SM-N900W8. When i went to OTA update lineage it caused my note 3 to go into a recovery Bootloop. I could not actually boot into recovery or boot system it kept restarting. So i read some forums and watched some videos. It kept saying seandoid not enforcing. I went and got a original note 3 md5 file and put it into odin put my old phone into download mode and connected it to Odin Loaded the md5 file in to the AP section of odin and hit start. Now it says firmware upgrade encountered please select recovery mode in kies. Also at the top left it says
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Does anyone know how i could fix this or if i could reinstall a custom binary or kernel from lineage.
I would like to just get my old pictures off the phone. Or would i have to connect to kies and install original firmware and just re flash a new rom?
If i brick the phone i brick it i use a S7 now. I don't know if this makes sense but i might need some help.
Try flashing TWRP again.
