[Q] Unbricking i9506?

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.

[Q] [HELP] GT-N8013 - Soft Bricked(ODIN MODE ONLY)

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.

Thank you for this post, that helps me alot, it appears it is beyond recovery via ODIN at this point. Thank you for taking the time to compare your PIT to the previous one. I will wait for Mobiletech to contact me back and post an update from there.

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.
I have flashed with Nand Erase All checked only

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.

I tried to use Odin to flash the system, but failed. I tried Kies, also failed… says "The PC failed to recognise the mobile phone."
Any suggestions? Thanks!!!

This happened to me with my S5. It was solved applying a custom ROM (If I recall well, it was WanamLite Rom) and then when it booted correctly, I used Odin to flash an official Rom.
Now with my S6, yesterday while I was flashing custom recovery into 5.1.1 and something happened when I rebooted my phone as it was stuck at samsung logo. So I flashed a custom Kernel using Odin and problem solved.
First, I would recommend to flash this ROM (G920F) in Odin first: https://mega.nz/#!fRNwGZ5A!5hS8vFU66FODwUvgxP4FCDG06I5y7nAVQZAqbsFkUCE
Drivers: https://mega.nz/#!XNdBUCpa!fbPSU3aaHSbBrlZVwWF_PaVDvtKqJc5EorGwFtXkel4
Odin: https://mega.co.nz/#!epshkJAa!y7pFS5-9RVhp4vDxTRAQARAwkjyQAB_9mDZWfXkLqko
This would give you a clean and official update.
Also, there's a guide here in XDA you can follow to get out of samsung loop, the guide is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge/general/how-to-to-5-0-2-t3142946
Hope it solves your problem.

Try a different USB cable or USB port then reflash again via odin.

If above suggestions don't work bring your S6 back to Samsung for warranty repair.

You need to be 100% sure about your CSC.
Mine also fails when updating with wrong CSC. Went back to original and update went normal.

Where can I get the right CSC? I only use AP in Odin and it failed!

I tried every suggestions above and a different PC, no luck... really sad... why install the official update can brick the phone!! Is there anything more I can do, or should I try the Samsung warranty?

Have you tried the hidden.img fix? If you haven't let me know and I'll try to dig up the thread for you

you could put your phone into download mode, enter smart switch PC application, select emergency firmware recovery. key in SM-G920F, then key in your Serial number found at the back of your physical device S/N: XXXXXXXXX and then it'll start downloading the firmware appropiate for your phone. hang tight and should be done shortly after.

If the above fails I'd recommend taking it to a samsung shop, it's failed to update the official way so they should be fixing it themselves for you, they can do a service flash / update on your phone in about 20 minutes.

SM-N915A , unable to boot, Odin failed, now bricked.

Hi All,
I was using the SM-N915A as normal...then i left it idle for a while and came back saw it kept resetting itself. I tried clear cache partition already didnt' work. It keeps looping on startup after the samsung logo. It got worst as time went on, it wont even load into recovery anymore, it just loads with the android icon saying it's updating then freezes and restarts....I read that I can manual recover using Odin. I used odin and a stock rom to fix it, but the rom failed now i am bricked. Please help.

Thanks, I managed to use the pit file and it got pass the brick page.
However, now the system goes into the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge loading screen and just stays there for a very long time and then restarts itself again....I pulled the battery out to manual shutdown (power button will not shut it down) and tried to go into recovery mode, it says loading recovery, but ends up restarting back to the Samsung loading screen indefinitely again. I would assume that's because the rom is dead at this point, and I would need to go to dl mode and flash a new stock rom back in ? What is my next step ?

You know what, try to clean power button. It may sticks. Pull battery and put small drop of rubbing alcohol. Then press couple times ( with out battery). Let dry for 10 min( you may use hair dryer on low power) . Put battery back and let us know.

My SM-N915A went full dead on incomplete upgrade. Tried everything possible no lights, no vibration, no nothing: fill dear brick.
Was told its emmc corrupt.
Kindly help

can't you use samsung kies?

Hi to all. I was trying to recover some files with DrFone when it tried to root my phone. The rooting process failed and the phone bricked. If I try to power it on, it appears the writing "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
Obviously kies can't connect to the phone.
If I press pwr+vol_dn+home and then select "volume up" the phone goes in download mode but doesn't accept the reset of drfone, the download process freeze at half...
What can I do?
Thanks in advance!

try flashing only pitt file

is there anyone that does this upload , reload repair for others. are is there instructions to follow somewhere?
