That link you attached is good
its the one many G900H users using
no one else faced the issue of bricking the device
maybe you must have dirty flashed several roms so it must have bricked
Try repartition with PIT
no other way i think

Keeps failing

do this
use laptop ( shutdown once and turn it back on and use )
use different usb 2.0 cable
use new odin application
Use New MM based Firmware
if it doesnt boot
then flash PIT alone in odin
then if stock recovery comes clear data and cache
and then install twrp and flash new roms
if not work i dont have any other solutions
:good::good:
good luck

tried but no show!

looks like the guy is dead !
any idea on how much it could cost me ?

if it has any sign of life its ususally recoverable .
links to fw u have tried, were they for the g900h?
which odin ver did u try
pull battery for long time, say 10mins b4 going into dl mode.
just flash bl and modem, search xda for howto.
did u try kies?
u can try usb jig or jtag as last resort

[Q] Cannot flash stock in Odin, cannot boot phone

Hello guys
I tried to flash a wifi fix modem in Odin and now I cannot boot my phone and cannot flash a stock ROM.
I was on Omega7 (which has wifi problems)
Bought Phone Odin, chose to flash firmware (found the modem files I had downloaded)
Phone reboot to download mode, so I thought it had not worked, and tried to flash it in Odin PC version... but it got stuck at boot.img
So I unplugged, restarted Odin/Phone and tried again and again, but no luck.
So I tried flashing a Stock rom (I9505XXUBMEA_I9505OXABMEA_I9505XXUBMEA_HOME.tar.md5) but that gets stuck at boot.img too.
What can I do?
When I try to boot the phone, it says something about going to Kies and doing recovery there... but that assumes I have got some backup file to recover from, besides, Kies does not find my phone, it recognises it is plugged in, but continues searching for it.
Any bright ideas?

[Q]Can't install custom recovery on s4

Hi, i have a problem when i try to install the custom recovery of philz. (The latest one for s4 6.53.9)
I have a samsung s4 black edition. I did all the steps on the guide, but when i install the custom recovery i only get "reset" on odin and nothing happened on the phone. On download mode it say that i have a custom firmware but the knox warranty flag has not tripped.
If anyone have an answer please help.

Can you please link the guide you have followed?
What black edition version do you have? I9500 or I9505, i understand there are 2 versions depending on region.
Is the bootloader unlocked?
What version Odin are you using?
Remember to reboot into recovery by holding volume up while turning power on after flashing.
Holding volume down gives you download mode.
Did you put the recovery package in the PDA tab?
I use odin 3.07 and used the guide of philz. I tryed with auto reboot and without auto reboot on odin, i put the tar.md5 file on pda without anything else. The only other option ticked was f.reset time.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
Bump
Noone knows anything? Please help, I can't do anything with the phone in this state. I can't install the official firmware nor the recovery too.
Uncheck auto-reboot in Odin.
if problem persists:
Different usb cable
Different usb port
Make sure Kies is not running in the background.
Already done all that stuff,
Any other suggestions?

Stock recovery has a defense mechanism to reflash it back.
You need to untick Auto-Reboot in Odin.
That being said, the phone wont just leave download mode, you have to do it yourself with Volume Down + Power for like 10 seconds (it will power off, so release your fingers when it's off ). This is a life saver for phones that dont have a removable battery.
Ah ok thanks i will try

Is Odin reporting the flash successful? Does it PASS in the end?
Also, are you restarting the download mode after the flashes fail?
It's pointless to retry a flash if it fails in a single session at Download Mode, after the first flash, the phone and odin communication behave weirdly.

Help with note 3 9005 loop booting

Hil
I have a similar problem. I have a note 3 with original UK ROM and wanted to flash my operator ROM to get wifi calling. Both are android 5.0
The problem is after trying to flash the first time I had a problem that the new ROM would not fully flash. reading posts I understood I had to flash PIT file which I downloaded and flashed. After flashing PIT the new ROM did not go in so I flashed my original UK.
After reboot I kept getting security warnings that something has changed and I should reboot. After several boots the problem did not go away.
So I tried to flash ROM again, different tries between UK ROM and my operator ROM, but the phone now only loops at booting. Sometimes it gets stuck at first Samsung screen.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you
What original rom.
What rom you updated to ?
Probable you flashed the wrong size PIT .

So the following:
Original ROM: N9005XXUGBOK6_N9005BTUGBOJ1_BTU
My operator (EE): N9005XXUGBPB1_N9005EVRGBPB1_EVR
Now I tried: 4.4.2.N9005XXUGNG1_N9005OXAGNG1_BTU
I tried the following PITS:
SM-N9005 FTM pit
SM-G900F EVR pit
Any suggestions, would be very grateful.
Thanks
SM-G900F EVR pit
Thats not for N9005 .
Have you tried Samsungs KIES ??
So which Pit to rectify?
Yes I also tried Kies 3 but cannot connect. I have tried under recovery mode and download mode. Odin connects fine though. Not sure why.

You changed to the wrong model firmware and that's a guess as you give no indication .
Another guess is that you ticked the wrong boxes in Odin .

I installed TWRP 3.1.1 as per link above and tried to backup my DATA partition but it is 0MB
I'm afraid Factory reset also failed. I get a bunch of error messages such as:
Failed to mount /data
Formatting cache
Unable to mount storage
Any ideas?
The good news is I still have access to recovery and download.
