[Q] Samsung Galaxy Mega GT-I9205 Problem(Recovery Booting)

HI,
I'm from Slovenia so I'm sorry if there are mistakes in writting.
My friend just bought Samsung Galaxy Mega LTE GT-I9205 and the phone doesn't start because the phone was rooted or I don't know what they have been doing with it and when they were trying to install new android on it there was a problem or they disconected the phone to fast.
When he got the phone and he started it there was written(Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode recovery mode in Kies & try again.).
My friend doesn't know about this problems and he doesn't know how to root the phone or install ROM with Odin so he gave the phone to me that I fix it. And I tried to conect the phone to Kies as it says on the phone and I tried to recover the phone and program asked me for the recovery code which I don't have because the phone wasn't conected to my computer when this happened. So I contacted the previous user and he said that the phone wasn't conected to his computer either and he doesn't have the recovery code.
So then I downloaded all four firmwares for Slovenia from SAMMOBILE site and tried to install it with Odin. When I installed firmwares which are android 4.2.2 version the phone started and showed the SAMSUNG GALAXY MEGA logo and on the top written recovery booting and immediately showed the error on which was written:
Image size too large!! W:1080, H:1920(with red)
display image fail(with yellow)
SECURE FAIL: KERNEL(with red)
When I installed the latest firmware with andorid 4.4.2 the phone turns on and shows SAMSUNG GALAXY MEGA logo and on the top is written RECOVERY BOOTING with blue and it stays there.
I CAN'T GO INTO RECOVERY MODE(Volume UP + Home + Power)
When I go into download(Volume Down + Home + Power) there is written:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9205
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

Help over identifying no wipe stock roms with Heimdall

Hi All,
First I hope I am posting at the good place , otherwise please notice me and of course move it at the good place :angel:
It is about a week or so, that I have my GNote3 - SM-N900 stuck on the animated Samsung logo and heat a lot. Since a while the phone is randomly freezing and reboot .. I got used to it and restarted it each time..
It happened suddenly after it has, again, rebooted alone..
I have never tried to change the ROM or the bootloader and either rooting, It is a full stock from Orange.
Here is a short video when I try to reboot the phone.
What I already tried without any success :
- Take off the batteries and wait between 30 sec to all the night.
- Under recovery, I cleaned the cache partition.
- getting into safe-mode, but the phone does not accept the said sequences, ON button + Volume up (when Samsung Galaxy Note3 is on the screen... Instead it continuously keep rebooting as the ON button has to be keep hold.
I wish to not wipe my data as I need to migrate those into my new Note8 :silly: ..
I have been told in another forum that there are stock roms that allow that, but I have no clue about how to identify which ROM is not wiping and as I am under Linux 14.04, which files I need to load in Heimdall (I have v1.4.2).
So before getting live with the Note3, I wish to try on a S4 (GT-i9506) at least to make sure the process is not wiping..
Here is the details of the 2 phones - both are under Android 5.0.1:
GNote 3 :
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N900
CURRENT BINARY : Samsung OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS : OFFICIAL
REACTIVATION LOCK : OFF
Secure Download : Enabled
KNOX WARRANTY VOID : 0
AP SWREV : A4
Galaxy S4:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME : GT-I9506
CURRENT BINARY : Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS : Official
KNOX WARRANTY VOID : 0x0
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT : Enable
AP SWREV : S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD : Enable
UDC START
I hope my description is at least clear..
I wish to thanks all of you that will take time to read and help :good:
EDIT : Language is French.

Galaxy S5 Hangs on Sprint logo, won't enter recovery mode: ddi:mmc_read failed

I am one of those long-time phone-upgrade holdouts because of feature deletion.
However yesterday I went to start waze and the phone crashed, and wouldn't get past the sprint logo.
In trying to recovery mode boot,
"Could not do normal boot.
ddi : mmc_read failed
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G900P
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
KNOX WARRANT VOID: 0x0
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T3, R1, A3, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLE
UDC START"
I attempted to load Philz but that was also a failure; I'm wondering if it has to do with the poor solder connection between the emmc chip and the board?
Could it be a corrupt firmware issue?
I was able to download the G900PVPS3CQD1_G900PSPT3CQD1_SPR firmware, but I'm unsure how to use it in Odin to update the firmware without hosing some of the data that might be on the phone still. I don't want to completely wreck the files if it can be saved.
Any ideas/suggestions?

Do you think that if I either got the chip reballed/reflowed or a pressure pad put on it that it would be sufficient to get anything off of the phone before it's toast?

Did you read my link?
