Hey there,
I recently had my phone replaced under warranty from a terrible condition. When they replaced it though, they gave me gingerbread, which I can't stand, so I tried using Odin3 to downgrade to Froyo; didn't work. I am about to shoot myself... Anyways, I have tried all the advice I have found online, including all these forums, and nothing has worked, but it's made it slightly worse.
Symptoms:
Does not react.
Only way to turn on is to go into download mode, otherwise it will not do anything whatsoever.
When I try to turn the phone on, I do no longer get the Phone - ! - Computer screen, it just doesn't turn on at all.
What I've tried:
Tried 3 versions of Odin3, including 1.7, 1.85, and 3.04. Also tried Heimdall Front, as well as Kies. I did NOT run any of the two programs at the same time, and non of the processes. Kies was not running while Odin was running! Did install all drivers properly. Odin would get up to this point and cut out:

I've tried all 3 USB ports on this PC, none will complete the factoryfs.rfs. I've redownloaded all the .pit's and .md5's multiple times an retried.
Also downloaded and tried GTG's Ultimate Brick Unlock.
Have repeated Odin over 20 times now, will not go through.
Went to AT&T, they said that they could not reflash the phone with their samsung software.
I just need a working phone, can someone help me?
Get rid of Kies as it is a source of problems.

No luck. While using the one-click Heimdall Unbricker, it gave me this:
Downloading device's PIT file...

I had the same problem n' accidentally it's cured. Wanna try? I'm not sure about this would be a universal way. But if nothing happens; anything is good.

When I had the SAME issue on my Infuse it was a bad USB cable or in my case bad USB port itself with a loose connection. You'd be amazed how sensitive they are. Even moving the phone can cause issues. Best to get a KNOWN working cable and then plug it in and start it without touching/moving anything. At least that's what I had to do. I've been using said Infuse ever since without issue.
Hi,
So I got the i9506 and since I've played around with my i9100 for a couple of years rooted, I decided to root my i9506 too. Before doing so, the phone installed 4.3 via OTA. I've been unrooting i9100 over and over while installing custom ROMs and so forth.
But now as I was trying to root my i9506, a problem struck. As I was flashing the Philz FW, it failed and now I'm stuck with "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". Well that's a mighty good idea, but for some reason Kies does not recognize my phone. I googled and and some other people have this problem too and I'm yet to find a solution with Kies.
So I arrived to XDA, once again, and tried looking for a solution. Found this topic and already hoped that I was saved. But either my understanding of the whole thing isn't enough or it doesn't have the solution for me, I just couldn't get my phone fixed.
So now I'm stuck with the "Firmware encountered an issue..." screen and I don't have a way out. Could someone please help me out?
Any help is much appreciated!
PS: I'm from Finland.
I downloaded the stock roms 4.2.2 and 4.3 from sammobile and tried those as well, but no help.
Odin always fails when trying to flash something.
Tried with Odin 1.85 after multiple failed attempts with 3.09.
I always get this log, no matter what I pick as the bolded option:

Do I need a PIT file and if so, is there a certain file I need or am I supposed to use a tool like PIT Magic?
My phone still says the following so I'm not sure my warranty is voided altogether:
Product name: GT-I9506
Current binary: Samsung Official
System status: Official
Knox kernel lock: 0x0
Knox warranty void: 0x0
Resolved.
I was using another microUSB cable to do the job, but after changing to new white cable that came with the phone, it passed! Now all's back to way it used to be before all the trouble. Even my phone name and all are intact.
GT-N8013
Blue/Gray
16GB Wifi Only Model
I was watching a youtube video, my tablet froze for an hour, died, then I let it charge and it rebooted into the samsung logo. After that it decided to go white screen and goes to a white screen every time it's booted. I've been trying to resolve this on my own with various resources for about a month now.
I can get to ODIN mode no problem, but I can't flash anything. I have recently bought a new OEM Samsung USB cable and tried multiple versions of ODIN on two different machines. Directly connected to the motherboard and not USB 3.0 ports.
I think the solution to my problem may be answered:
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268735
or
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2713297
It is hard for me to comprehend the English used in the first link as I think Authors first language is not English. I think what he is saying is that if ODIN is not working then you have to flash the PIT file via adb and a SD card, but I cannot access Recovery, and I don't recall fully how to use ADB in Downloading Mode, if that's possible at all. He also states I may need to downgrade my bootloader version based on the last ROM that I had on my tablet. If someone could educate me on that I'd appreciate it.
The 2nd link says I need the stock firmware for my country(I live in the U.S. of A.) and to nand erase all but I feel like that should be used as a last resort. I did download both N8013UEALI3(4.0.4) & N8013UEUCMI3(4.1.2) from sammobile.com though.
When I try to flash just a Recovery/ROM, with Autoreboot checked, I get the PIT error message below:

Any assitance would be greatly appreciated, I've been without my tablet for a month now. I have any backup, I don't recall the ROM I flashed because it was so long ago, but I'm pretty sure the version was Jellybean. I know my recoevry was one of the later CWM TouchScreen Rom recoverys but I can't recall the version. Thanks for any help, please let me know what information I'm lacking or what I can do, thank you all for your time.
Update
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have tried to different PIT files for the PIT mapping and they both failed. Getting pretty desperate now. I can't even NAND Erase All, I gave that a shot and it failed:
When I select NAND Erase All, stock rom(4.0.4 or 4.1.2), Pit, & Re-Partition checked, Nand Erase all Checked, I get the following in ODIN 3.07 and 3.09:

I'm starting to think its the ECCM and maybe I need a JTAG repair. Like I said before, I can't get into recovery, I just get a all white screen. When the tablet first died I got the Samsung logo and then it rebooted and went White, I never got the Samsung logo again. Any help please? Even if it's just recommendations for trusted JTAG repair sites, because I don't trust the ones I've found ths far. Or know PIT files that have worked for flashing on the N8013. Anything at all.
BUMP
I found this article here: http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23562
Exact same problem I am having, I think I'm going to need a JTAG repair. I just posted a request to get some fresh PIT files from multiple android versions. I ill keep posting updates on how this is going, I feel alone in this issue since no one has said anything but I get multiple views...but I see more and more people are starting to post in the help section for this particular brand of tablet in the past 3-5months, it sounds terrible but I'm glad I'm not alone since I feel like im talking to myself here.
Just contacted Mobiletechvideos guys, I hope they are legit. I'm will to pay $50 for a jtag repair if i can have this tablet back.

I've tried to use both ODIN & Heimdall. All files are failing for me. I tried stock 4.0.4 & 4.1.2 Roms, 3 different PIT files, I even tried to NAND erase all with a stock rom and ODIN continues to fail for me. I installed a virutal box on multiple machines running XP SP3 since windows 7/8 weren't working for me as well, that failed as well. When I try to flash the PIT files I get the output from ODIN in my OP, nothing is working for me. I'm just thinking I experienced instant death on this tablet for no reason at all. The most success i've had is with Heimdall just being able to reboot the tablet for me and then go back to Downloading mode, but nothing else is responding for me.
I'f I can get some fresh pit files from fully operational devices I will know that I've done everything I can excluding JTAG repair myself. If I can't get some fresh PIT files from multiple android versions, then I might just have to send it to the Mobiletechvideos guys to see if they can repair.
Thanks for the reply and interest in my issue!

To download a copy of your PIT all you have to do is install Heimdall, with zadig driver (Samsung/General Device) , boot your tablet into Download mode, and download a copy of your PIT by going to Heimdall Frontend, clicking utilites, and downloading and saving your PIT to your desktop(or where ever you want) and uploading it for me.
Heimdall can be found here: http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/
After you are down with Heimdall, make sure you uninstall the driver from "Device Manager" in your USB Devices, that way, you can use ODIN again. A;; of this should only take about 5-10mins, as all the files are really small. i really appreciate this.

onlysafonne, I have the same problem. I can use Odin and get to CWM but nothing I flash will get me past the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 image I cannot even get it to shut off. It will go black then power right back up.

Any ideas? I have not heard of JTAG
I have a N8010 and I'm also in this kind of bootloop.
Nothing works.
I had OmniRom 4.4.4 installed and the newest TWRP.
I only can get into Download Mode.
When I try to get into Recovery the blue TWRP Screen pops up for a second and then it's going back to "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" Logo.
I even tried to disassemble the battery. But this didn't work either.
Any ideas what I can do? If not, I'll have to take it to repair. Got some warranty left, but I rather fix it myself.
Thanks

have you tryed to odin install your firmware? usally the bootloop is caused because you need to do a factory reset to get rid of (in your case OmniRom 4.4.4) your firmware as I see is http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/confirm/31427/N8010XXUDNE4_N8010BTUDNF1_BTU.zip/
Yes, I did try that. Is still in bootloop afterwards. I also tried to flash stock recovery or cwm recovery. But there is still twrp.
I can't open your link :-/

try this N8010 recovery with the included 3.07 odin put in PDA slot and do no check re-partiton look at picture
@Flying_Phil
yes samfirmware is picky go here and search your N8010 you most likly need to signup (it's free) and as you see most odin updates or "home" which means it does not do a factory reset which is ok if your updating a stock unrooted rom so you need to do a factory reset when coming from a custom rom.
well I tried to flash your attached file. Odin said "Pass!" but my Tablet still does the bootloop.
Like I said, I tried to flash several firmwares. All with this same result. First I tried the German version, then the Austrian and the Australian.
Now yours was the version for new zealand.
I have no clue, why this doesn't work.

sorry, I forgot to tell about it.
Yes I tried to go into Recovery, but there ist still TWRP on it and it still crashes after a second.
I even tried the flash without checking "Auto reboot", so I could boot directly into recovery, but it worked neither.

My sm-g920i worked fine and it did a auto update to the latest firmware OTA.
This then contained a torjan / virus / ??? with hackers from Russia playing with my GPS to some small town location in Russia, interfered with FB, maps, uber, ..... but eventually listed the right location.
Extensive data used for no apparent reason and could not get rid of this problem.
Disabled all internet, first wifi and later only mobile data, eventually I had to "applications manager" and nearly uninstall anything / all apps on the phone not locked by stock rom / spam apps from Samsung.
Problem, phone became hell on earth to use, started lagging so bad, did a factory reset to see if it worked and I presume some how the trojan or virus from Samsung OTA was written into the NAND.
Now the phones goes into constant boot loop, shows Samsung start screen and red "not seadroid enforcing"
Odin flashed stock firmware, twrp, deoxed version, old, new, everything except the clown on the moon and all with the same results.
I can get into the green download screen, it still refuses to take a official stock rom or any rom, except twrp and cf-auto-root as successful flashes.
Yes downloaded 5 new copies of several versions of the stock rom and same results, formatted Win8.1 PC just in case and same results after new downloads, swapped cables ........
Can NOT get into any type of boot loader / reset screen, excuse the incorrect labels, brain dead from trying to fix this.
Any suggestions on how to fix this ?
Tried the Tmobile rom just in incase it would take, same results.

Try smart switch, emergency software recovery and initialisation, then software update and initialisation, enter your model name click search, then your serial number and it should download the correct full ROM for you. Phone will need to be in download mode for this to work.
mine was in a bootloop and no matter what i tried it would still loop, until I did the above.
I've never heard of malware from an official OTA update.
Are you 100% sure your phone is a genuine Samsung?
Sent from my SM-G920I using XDA Premium HD app
Thank you will try the smart switch option now.
Yes 100% genuine, I have seen several other post with similar issues from the latest malware from Samsung.
I have the same problem,
any solution ?
Try using a different USB cable or plugging in different USB ports then flash.
Did u end up fixing your s6?
HI there.
I have had the GT-N8020 for around two years on contract with a major provider here in Australia.
My wife used it mostly over that time. Myself, I only realised how great a piece of hardware that it is only in the last couple of months since she now has an S5. I have claimed it daily, lighter than my laptop.
It is out of warranty. Samsung has organised a courier to pick it up, I just have to ring courier.
I asked for a costing as it is out of warranty. No reply on that. We will fix it. I have no doubt in that. But at what cost? The lady did not give an answer even after asking a couple of times. That in itself rings alarm bells. Anyway, VOIP, lag and language barriers, very frustrating. I was transferred from my phone provider to Samsung technical support. I did not ring Samsung directly.
I do not wish to send my device away to be fixed if I can fix it myself. I have been wanting to mess with Linux on the device at some point anyway. So here is my opportunity. I am not sure if I can recover my data that is on the tablet which at this point seems impossible.
What have I done so far?......
Researched a bit and ended up here on XDA. Read “Root & Recovery Install Guide” on here.
I a not sure which ODIN N8020 firmware I need, 'touch, ohne touch or stock. The links are dead anyway for my firmware. Could you recommend another location to get usable firmwares.
I installed the USB drivers
Installed Odin3 v1.85 – cycling power I can see my device being added and removed from the log window. All good there
Installed Kies – no version recognises my device
Installed SmartSwitchPC – did not recognise my device
I downloaded SuperSU v2.67
I have left the tablet to go completely flat and turn off. I then plugged in the charger which immediately brings back the Downloading nag screen. Grrrrr.
Will the tablet still charge if left plugged in?
If it cannot charge then sending it away might be my only option.
Are firmwares country specific or can I use any compatible one?
I am hoping it fully charges. When I plug it into the USB port the device will turn off after a few minutes, as it is still low power. Not sure if it can charge via USB. Currently left tablet plugged into charger, tablet is showing the green Android 'Downloading' nag screen.
In ODIN MODE
Product: GT-N8020
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
RP SWREV: A2
Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 white colour. 4G and wifi 16gb.
I am unable to get into recovery mode as there is NO 'Home' button on the note 10.1.
I am pretty sure it had 4.4.2 on it.
Thanks

Ok I found an Australian OPS - Optus firmware.
I flashed the file using Odin and it seems my device has no PIT partition.
There is no PIT partition! eep I guess this is why it stopped booting in the first place.

Now to find a PIT file...
EDIT: Found a PIT file but still have the same issue of no PIT partition.
Tried different versions of Odin with the same result.
Edit2: JTAG - another option I would consider. Researching but any advice is welcome.
Thanks
