[HELP] Trying to root,can't turn on wifi...

So basically,got phone last night,tried regular rooting,didn't work,read up some more,tried the whole "Root AT&T Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 on I337UCUFNJ4 Firmware" even though my firmware is I337UCUFNJ5 and not 4,anyway,thread told me to flash I337_NC1_Stock_Kernel using the Odin firmware flashing tool.
I did....used towelroot app 3.0,didn't work,needed internet access (yes I got it straight from their site) fond a 2.0 version,used it,says "you should have root,no reboot required" so since I didn't have wifi on the phone,I went right back into odin and tried to use I337_NJ4_Stock_Kernel and flash it using the Odin tool to get back to the stock NJ4 kernel. Didn't work,failed,now I'm STUCK on nc1 kernel with no wifi access... help? please? this is my first rooting and I am legit clueless to most of this.. also how do I even find my boot loader etc?
EDIT: This might not be in the right thread,if so,please move to appropriate thread moderator.

Try with different version of odin (the latest is 3.10 I think), use different usb port, use different usb cable.
Did you load your file in the AP (auto partition) slot?

I9505 bootloader flash odin complete(write) error (SOLVED)

Okay so I was trying to update my bootloader and modem using the tutorial I found here. But odin refused to install it and left me with a softbricked device. Now I have tried to flash the new bootloader again, the old bootloader, changed pc, changed usb cord and port, tried heimdall but still not working. Now it starts to install the bootloader and odin log goes like this
<ID:0/005> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..

Any help?

It's possibly because the bootloader you are trying to flash is not compatible with your S4 model.
If you can't flash the bootloader separately, flashing a stock ROM package may work. Also, try a different Odin version and also another Windows.

Yeah I tried to flash the stock rom but the same thing happened. I have tried 3 different odin versions and 2 windows.

Could this be because I've changed my usb port? Odin seems to always disconnect my phone after failing and then reconnects again.

Google and download PIT file GT-I9505
Flash bootloader with pit file selected

@4shared: Nice advertising. PIT files are a weapon of last resort, thus we want to make sure there is no alternative before recommending it.
@varvainenkalas: Return to download mode and read the model number in the upper left corner. We need to make sure you don't have a Frankenphone before continuing.

It says Product name: GT-I9505

Good. The USB port on the device could cause this if it's damaged or defective. You want to check its connections in the device and also clean the port with a bit of rubbing alcohol to be safe.

Yes I got it solved. I don't know how but I think that the problem was that both usb cables I tried were damaged though they worked before. I tried third usb cable and the same error came up then I tried again and it flashed the stock succesfully. How can I mark this solved?

Go to your first post and change the title. If you can't do that, add a line to the post noting that the problem was resolved.

Can't turn on my phone, can't open twrp, Odin fail Galaxy s8

Hello everyone,
I'm following this forum for mounths but just had chance to register.
I tried to root my phone, then I think something went wrong. Turned on the phone and used for a while, but had a fingerprint sensor error. After that I reboot the phone, but while showing the Samsung logo, I got "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" top of the screen. And phone was automaticly turning off after that.
Then I put the phone download mode and tried to install official firmware. Odin was failed.
I tried to flash bootloader only, and fail neither.

I thought maybe the stock rom that I trying to install is older. But now I can't open the TWRP with the buttons for the wipe data. The Samsung Galaxy logo views, after that it turns off.
Trying to install twrp again, Odin gives me fail too. Now I can only open the download mode.
I need my phone today urgently for contact with my colleagues.
Please ask me for the missing informations and please help me ASAP.. Sorry for my bad and complicated English..

Try to flash an earlier Version of the bootloader maybe QF7.
I found the flashable odin archive at https://mega.nz/#!5Q4TATzQ!DT2OQO01KHfw7HsVNElZSfZ4DHoO9W99k3dJqfumMhg for s8 and at https://mega.nz/#!dMZ0zbDL!oYrcBh8DeOqMFeO9QObu8eNXVrjsajXICJ0o3MJPJ-o for s8+.
I also find a video for this issue at https://youtu.be/VTi3uBkpJic
Try this and reply back..

Or just try to flash the stock rom without the cm.bin/ bl firm.

My solution did work. Download the latest firmware and install it with Odin. Thanks everyone anyway..

Unable to flash anything on Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9515

Evening fellas!
I hope i can get some help over because i am freaking out!
Let me start with what i wanted to achieve. I wanted to go and use Stuff on my phone which wasnt usable due to the SafetyNet API, because i got a custom firmware and root Access. I tried to flash Magisk but it doesnt worked, neither did my SuperSU proberly.
My idea was to unroot and then simply flash the stock firmware via Odin on my phone. 1st couple of tries it didnt work. However, it also didnt affect my phone at all. So i then went into my recovery (TWRP) and did factory reset. Just to clean things up. I tried again to flash and yeah, he actually did it! Just with the minor exception that the flasing failed like 3% before its completion and now i got basiclly a white brick. I ve tried numerous times to flash that firmware again, get some other firmware running - I also tried to flash the Stock Rom completly (which also was able to start the flashing just before it failed in the middle).
I dont find any help on the internet, or at least not help that helps me in my specific situation. I honestly dont know what to do else... I do appreciate any help!
Please help me xda-users, you re my last hope!

Did you try using the original USB cable? Tried different USB ports?

Yes, i just did. I ve used several USB Ports of my Computer (Haven't tried another computer yet, but that will come too). I also used two different cables. One Original and one third-party cable from amazon, which worked just fine for normal file copying and moving, on the S4 before its brick and the Samsung Grand Prime as well (as i use that in the mean time).
As from yesterday at some random points i was still able to get to flash something for just a second or so, the only messages i get from odin today are these:
<ID:0/003> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I dont find any helpful information on that error message either, which is the worst part of it all.

Is Odin assigning a COM port to the phone?

Yes, everything is detected. Odin is detecting the Samsung Grand Prime just as well as the Galaxy S4. I've also tried different version of Odin. v3.12.3 and v3.13.1. They both give me the same output.

During the initalization phase, Odin is trying to communicate with the phone and is not able to do so.
What about Odin 3.07 with Win7?

I ve been using Windows 7 all the time, but now i also tried it with Odin v3.07 and look there: It actually worked! I was able to flash the Stock Firmware, i downloaded days ago, on the phone.
But i still have some problems. As i had the stock firmware running everything seemed to work just fine. At first some google processes repeatedly stopped all the time, but i got that fixed after a factory reset. But i wasnt able to get any google Service running even though i was logged in successfully. It seemed like it was working, but i got fooled. So i tried to flash the whole stock rom and thats where the fun begins all over again.
With using Odin v3.07 i set the files for the Bootlader(BL), PDA(AP),Phone(CP) and CSC but it wont work. Here's the Odin log:
<ID:0/007> Odin v.3 engine (ID:7)..

Okay, i don't know whats wrong now - but now i cant even flash back the stock firmware that worked before with odin v3.07. Odin now says:

EDIT: Its not even being detected anymore.

There is no need to split the tar.md5 into 4 parts. In Odin 3.07, you can flash it as a single file in PDA.
You're flashing the latest stock ROM? Is it possible the USB port on the phone is damaged?

SM-T580 Potential Brick Issue

OK, so have a Galaxy Tab A 10.1, SM T580. An attempt to drop a rom on it failed(not sure why tbh, plugged into the front usb hub instead of unplugging an external HD to free up a usb port, bad rom, not sure), and I am unable to restore it to default. It now goes straight to the 'Use emergency recovery software' screen which doesn't work for that model, and every attempt I have made to utilize Odin has failed, with both 3.09 and 3.13, utilizing XAR-T580UEU2BQF1-20170623075724 files; inevitably it ends up stuck on the 'Initializing' step with no further activity(up to 2 hours anyway).
Requesting some semi-detailed assistance.

You need to put it in download mode first.

I have done so with every attempt. It still continues to simply hang at 'initializing'.

Make sure the cable you are using is short and you see the added message in odin.
Long cables will not work.
If the issue still persists and changing USB port doesn't help then trying another pc is the only option.

I will second this. My laptop will not see Odin added at all for most of my devices. And out out of like 6 USB cables only 1 works for Odin downloading but good for everything else

Custom Binaries Blocked by FRP Lock
May I start you over with your diagnostics. Not initializing? Does this mean you cannot boot into recovery, at all? But can get into download mode which you cannot use?
Try booting to recovery and tell me if you see little red letters at the top left that say something about FRP lock. If this is your issue I'll explain what's going on with your device.
There are two types of FRP protection I've seen in this tablet. The first one most of us know of and it can be best described as being able to boot or power on compared to the other one which acts similar to a bootloop and does not power on.
This seems to be a common bug with the current Rootings applied to this device that are using CF-Root or a variation thereof. Samsung insisted that CF-Root shouldn't be used on this device and that's where the problem apparently comes from. The device owner is caught in a bootloop type of mode where the logo comes and goes and somehow accessing recovery is impossible. At the top left side of the screen in fine red letters reads, "Custom Binaries Blocked By FRP Lock. " This apparently shuts off the OEM unlock also leaving you with access to the Bootloader/Downloader, but Odin3 would refuse to flash even the official Firmware. Suddenly the impossible Hard-Brick comes to mind. Fortunately for all of us someone invented Odin3 and Samsung device owners rarely have to deal with a hard bricked device..
Here's what you need.:
Odin3.10 to Odin3,13. Either one works. The following file will give you Odin3.13.
The SM-T580 Binary 4 FRP Unlock file can be obtained here (this is a 1.98GB rar file):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Rip0qIGo-GbzFdH55s1vIpe6f1aqYKbD/view
Extract the file, preferably to a folder of its own that you create.
Prep device for flashing (boot to download mode), connect to PC and fire up Odin3. The first section should light up blue means you're connected. Click on AP, go to the extracted 3file and doublr click on the file starting with the word "unlock." Wait til Odin does it's checksum and then you can press start.
This will reset your device to factory!!
Now you're going to want to Bypass the Google Account and remove FRP which is the first FRP I mentioned.
Let me know how it goes for you..
