ok this is how it all started. my galaxy s4 19505. was rooted but then every day apps would mysteriously uninstall. at random. and apps would unexpectedly close at random then be stuck in a loop of pressing ok to confirm it closed. this was starting to bug me so i wanted to fix this. i then looked to upgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 or 5 i tried to upload a new rom via odin. but it wasnt working. it was an authorisation fail. so then i thought id reset it to a factory wipe. so i wiped cache and wiped data. now its stuck with the error message of kernel is not seandroid enforcing. and it gets stuck at the samsung logo.
i can still access the root menu to update. but when i update it says unauthorized access and something like bad footer and no authorisation. i can still upload but on odin i have the same problem a fail in the authorisation.
please help!!
i also forgot to mention that i cant carry anything onto the sd card ive got. i do have a spare but the other one is my 64gb one. its not letting me transfer anything and i cant format it.
Hi,
Odin is used to flash original stock firmware, not custom roms. But maybe you know that.
Here us a dedicated help thread for your device that you can ask for help in,

Where to start...
First, as a disclaimer, I may use language or terms that sound noobish. I have rooted and run custom ROMs on several devices in the past, however generally when I get a ROM I like I stick with it, so I'm not constantly tinkering. I've done my best to search and find solutions so please go easy on me.
17 days ago I was running stock 4.3 on my SGNII when the battery died. Upon charging I found I was stuck in bootloop and had a bad /efs mount. I searched and searched and spent around 15 hours trying this and that but to no avail. I finally threw my hands in the air and got ahold of Josh at mobiletechvideos and he was able to fix the efs mount issue. However, he left me in factory mode which required me to root to get out of, and once I did this I was unable to activate data on my carrier (Ting). I was so happy to have my phone "back" though that I used it like this for 4 or 5 days. I could get on wifi and I could call and send text messages. I had been off the grid so this felt like something I'd fix fully later.
Well I kept reading and found "fix" after "fix", flashed this and that and still no dice. FINALLY, last night, I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 which helped immensely. I was able to get TWRP flashed by unchecking the "auto-reboot" option in Odin and pulling the battery after the update took, and via TWRP I was able to install the ROM. I booted up, the device activated, I was running 4.1.2, I made and received some calls, the birds were chirping, the air was sweet...
I had struggled for so long and I had finally achieved success! Then, for seemingly no reason at all, I accepted an OTA update which bricked my Note2. Devastation.
The current state of things...
* Cannot get past the initial "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" screen
* Cannot boot into recovery
* I CAN get into dl mode,
* but, I CANNOT successfully flash anything. TWRP will flash like it took, but upon reboot I'm not able to boot into it. I'm also able to flash a ROM but it fails when it gets to sbin, and upon rebooting I'm greeted by the screen "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
When I try to use Kies it doesn't find the device. I've installed all of the most recent drivers and I'm running Kies as administrator. I select Tools > Emergency Firmware Recovery, THEN connect my device as instructed.
I'm at the apex of frustration. I beg thee to help!!

Hi.
I have a SGS3 international. It has CWM Recovery 6.0.4.6 installed, and a CM nightly from a couple of weeks back. The thing is, everything was working ok until a couple of hours ago. I needed to turn the phone off so I did (and I left it charging), and later I unplugged it and when I turned it on, it was stuck in the Samsung i9300 screen.
I tried to do a factory reset but when I try it reboots. I tried flashing a Paranoid Android ROM from 2 months ago that I had in the SD card to see if it worked, and nothing (it shows a 'installation complete' message, though). I try wiping cache, and even though it gets wiped, the problem persists.
What can I do?

Up until now I had a Galaxy S4 running omega ROM with a custom kernel (can't remeber which) and every so often I experianced a SIM card remove and needed to reboot - the other day, my mom decided to switch cellular compeny, and I recieved a new SIM - It all worked fine, until the next day I got an invalid SIM error and the phone was not usable - So I decided I would return to stock incase it would help or atleast it will return the warranty and allow me to let someone else fix it.
I followed a certain guide in this forum in order to return it to stock, and when the phone booted up - I got a "process.android.acore has stopped working error" - constantly flashing - making the phone unusable.
I wiped the cache and dalvik cache and did a factory reset, and formated every mount on my galaxy - and reflahed the stock firmware - and it fixed it - but now I have a "Samsung keyboard has stopped working" error - making me unable to text ever (tried clearing the app cache and data -didn't work) - and it also shows up when I don't use the samsung keyboard.... and there is the invalid SIM thing... I am stuck and have no Idea how to fix this thing... so... any suggestions?

Hi, i have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite. i have rooted the device but it became very slow so i went into settings and did a factory reset. the device just went into twrp recovery and when i tried restarting the device, it just kept going to twrp. i downloaded the stock 4.2 jelly bean rom for tab 3 lite on my computer, formatted the device on twrp and flashed the rom with odin. now when the device starts up, it goes directly to twrp but it doesn't load and the screen pixelates and keeps restarting and going back to twrp. i tried entering download mode, but it stays there for 5 seconds and then switches off. please help, i have read all the threads and followed all the steps but nothing works

My sim card wasnt working and to fix that i decided to format my phone by flashing Stock ROM using Odin [I had root], running on Cyanogenmod. While doing so, it was taking a hell lot of time and I didnt know what to do, so i pulled the cable and restarted the phone and this message came on: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again."
So i did that using kies, followed the procedure..downloaded the firmware to the computer, blah blah, but while "transferring that to the mobile phone" procedure, it got stuck at 0% and for hours it wont move!!
I tried using Odin again, but it just dont work!!
Please help me!!..I cant even go to my phone now..my (Home + Power button + Volume down) is accessible, but not recovery.
Hi,
Asking here in this help thread in your device section would be best,

A couple ideas too.... Try a different version of Odin. Also, Odin usually fails if Kies is running. End all kies processes in the task manager on the pc. Try a different cable and USB port on your PC. And forget kies, it won't work if your rooted or are not completely stock.
Again, for more help, ask in the thread I linked above.
Good luck!
