need some help. Soft bricked i925 verizon note 10.1

So i recently rooted my i925 with this universal method...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2403230
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCBLOhWavT0
Then I decided to try and run the casuall "Jailbreak" software to get a custom recovery and unlocked bootloader and i just checked "I did it" during the root portion since I already was... and now I'm soft bricked. I can only get into the download mode and tried flashing with odin but no luck might be doing something wrong... Also tried following the cyanogen instructions which involve flashing a cwm recovery in download mode but still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! If I hold power the screen will just flash the download mode screen on and off. I pulled the back off and pulled power. No difference.

Any ideas guys? This is the first time I've bricked anything since I've been here and it's got me pretty worried...

Still stuck is anyone has any ideas.

I would retry ODIN with the original VRAMK1 firmware available from sammobile.com. If that doesn't work tell us what error you are getting.

Maybe try Heimdall commandline. You can flash individual pieces.

[Q] Firmware update failed and failed recovery with Kies

Hello,
I have a problem.
I used my Samsung Galaxy GT-P6800 until yesterday.
Yesterday I downloaded the latest version of kies and I installed it.
When I plugged my tablet to the program kies, this told me that there was an update available. So I accepted the upgrade.
Unfortunately not been successful upgrade. So I tried to make the recovery of the old firmware. I receveid again an error. Kies tells me to call the service center.
Now I am a tablet that does not turn on and that only goes in odin mode by holding down the power button plus the volume down button.
It should not be in recovery mode because if I try to press the power button for 10 seconds nothing happens.
How could I resolve the problem?
My tablet is not rooted.
I don't know what is the problem because doesn't compare the code error.
I do not know if it depends on the driver. I do not know if it depends on something else.
But I would like to re-use my tablet. Help me, please.

well,
I have used Odin to install CWM 6.0.3.0.
Then I have tried to install a rom take here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21930183&postcount=2
P6800OXALQ2_P6800XXLQ2_HOME.tar.md5

Soft bricked Samsung Galaxy S6 - And I've tried A LOT of things, advice welcome!

Hey all
I've got a soft bricked Samsung Galaxy S6 where I can boot to the boot loader but not the Android OS. After trying lots of different things and reading a lot of the forum posts on here I'd come to a dead end so thought I'd start my own tread as I can't seem to see a solution for this issue currently.
Here's what I originally tried
So I've downloaded and installed Odin 3.10.6 and set that up on my computer just fine, it's a Vodafone Galaxy S6 so I downloaded appropriate firmware from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/stock-firmware-official-stock-firmware-t3086387.
I then put the phone in to the 'Download mode' by pressing Volume Down, Center Home, and Power buttons and then connected the phone via USB to my computer. Then I start up Odin which seems to realise that the phone is there, in the top left I get '0:[COM5]' and in the log I get '<ID:0/005> Added!!'.
After this I press on the 'AP' button and navigated to the upziped .tar.md5 file which I stated I downloaded earlier. Odin takes a few moments to do it's thing and load the file. After about 30 seconds in the log I now have this:
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
Now I press the 'Start' button and the process fails, here's what my log says;
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..

What I've tried so far to fix the problem
Downloaded and installed the Samsung Galaxy USB drivers, restarted the computer and repeated the whole process - no change
Downloaded and installed an older version of Odin (Odin 1.85) and repeated the whole process, same problem
I've then tried this whole process again on the three different USB ports (two USB 2, one USB 3) on my computer but have the same problem
Repeated the whole process on my girlfriends laptop - same problem
So that's where I've got to currently and I've run out of ideas, can anyone point me in a new direction to try here or maybe I've missed something stupid?

Better, closer warmer
So I've gotten a bit closer with this one but still not solved the problem.
So I was trying to think of new ideas to try and resolve my problem - when the phone is in 'download mode' it a few facts and figures on the screen ... namely the model number which is 'SM-G920F' and also a few other interesting details such as 'Reactivation lock' is off. So there's another thing I can eliminate from my list.
Anyway I Googled the model number and found another Firmware to download from Sammobile .com
So I downloaded this Firmware and gave this a try and got a lot further - this time it seems to start to install actually almost all the way to the end before failing. Here's what my log says:

The fact it's got this far to me means I'm cross USB drivers off the list too as surely the computer seems to know the phone is there right? ... So I'm not there yet but I seem to be much closer (I hope).
What I've done to try and fix it this time
After this first fail I've tried running Odin as Administrator, thought it may have been an permissions issue but I ran in to the same errors.
I thought I'd give it a try changing some settings in Odin and tick 'Flash lock' ... I know earlier it seems to have stated that reactivation lock was off but right now I thought I'd try anything - This completely stopped Odin in it's tracks when it got to 'Send lock information..' so this totally doesn't feel like the solution to me ...
So I'm stuck again until I think of something else to try ... If any of you lovely people out there have any clues or suggestions for something else I could try I'd love to hear from you ...

And I'm out of ideas!
Alrighty then!
I've tried this whole process with about 5 different firmware downloads now and I'm stuck simply because I'm out of places to download and try different firmware versions from.
Does anyone here have any suggestions for different firmware versions I could try or locations I could download and try different firmware versions from?
Any advice welcome!

try the CF- Boot for that phone, flash it with Odin

That's done it! Thank you!
And for all you future people reading this who might bump in to this post with the same problem here's what I did.
I found a 'CF Auto root' file for the version of my phone - CF stands for Chain Fire and you can get them from a quick google or from somewhere like www autoroot chainfire eu
This file is simply a tar.md5 file and you treat it like any other firmware file - In Odin click on 'AP' select the file and just hit start, as simple as that really.

[Completed] Samsung Galaxy note 3 - possibly bricked..

Hi,
I am new here, I've read the sticky so this seemed like the right place to post so here goes,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) which I have attempted (very unsuccessfully) to root, I followed some steps that others have done on various youtube videos using Odin3 and kingroot but unfortunately I believe my phone disconnected from the laptop while it was in download mode and now on each attempt I am left with the below message on recovery mode:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
I tried Kies and have since found several articles stating that kies will never work if you have rooted or tried to root your phone.
When i try to download a new ROM or the original firmware ROM using the desktop Odin3 it fails every time now with the below transcript:

I've read many posts around the web suggesting ways to fix it but everything involves being in recovery mode which i cannot do, does anybody have any idea what i should do? please let me know if you need any further info, hopefully I am just being stupid and it's a really simple answer!

Greetings and welcome to assist. There are a few things it could be, you could try a different version of odin, it could be an older version of firmware you are flashing or a file has become corrupt. If you connect your phone to kies and select emergency firmware recovery then that will return your phone to stock
Good Luck

second hand sm-j3330FN error.

Hello guys,
I got a second hand J3 (J330FN) and I'm trying to flash TWPR in download mode, But i keep getting the FRP lock come up (Not at boot but when i try to flash something)
My understanding is without the person who owned the phone before me logging in (so they can remove the lock) I cant get access to flashing?
So; can i just flash the firmware after a wipe of the cache and factory reset as I've seen described on other forums / videos?
Edit; OEM is already ticked

If oem_,unlock is already enabled then you are likely rmm locked. If you see RMM Prenormal in download mode you will need to wait 7 days until you can flash anything.

Thanks for reply. So I had more problems with this phone. I've managed to flash the TWPR but now boot loops, wiped everything in the hope that it would at least wipe (First few times I just got errors)... so now i have a phone with TWRP on it and no custom roms to install?
I've got an A3 running lineageOS 15.1.... was hoping I could use the same rom but I'm currently unable to find a source.
I've tried flashing the custom rom back from sammobile but It copies something and then resets. nothing comes up on the screen, but its back lit.

Confused. Why did you wipe your rom?

because it was erroring when I was trying to wipe cache so I thought it wouldnt work, but it did.... Have I broke it?

Which error?

I dont know. I cant remember, was red, Thought it wouldn't make a difference if I could flash another rom because it would just fill up where the old rom was.
Is there a reason I wouldn't be able to flash the stock rom back tho? Then I can start again....
I tried the CSC file not the CSC_Home and its been stuck like this for like 15 mins
