I am not responsible if you brick your phone although you are likely soft bricked if you are reading this guide. This is how I successfully restored after flashing a T959 Odin rom/pit, I had to use a Jig after to get into download mode then was provided the necessary files by cnote74 on the following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978836&page=16
Here is a Jig on Amazon, I bought mine on Ebay for 3 dollars.
http://www.amazon.com/SainSmart-Dongle-Samsung-Captivate-Vibrant/dp/B0053H73JQ
1.Open Odin.
2.Remove your memory and sim card
3.Boot your T959V into Download mode (Hold volume up + volume down then plug in your usb cable)
4.In Odin check Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, F.Reset Time
5.Select Sgs4g.pit for the PIT file
6.Select T959VUVKC1-REV00-ALL-low-CL933594.tar.md5 for PDA
7.Select T959VUVKC1-Phone-CL932707.tar.md5 for Phone
8.Select SGH-T959V-CSC-TMB.tar.md5 for CSC
9.Click start.....
10.Success!

Sorry to bump up an old thread, if anyone help who is familiar enough to help me with this, I really do appreciate.
Basically, I can't boot into the phone and I am currently stuck on "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error screen (http://androidcentral.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Firmware-upgrade-error.png) whenever I boots up. I tried the step above on odin and it is giving the following error:

Its been awhile since I used Odin (I used heimdall as I'm on linux...), but I think this means that Odin is having difficulty talking to your device. Have you checked that you have the right drivers installed? You could also try running Odin as administrator.
If this fails, another thing to try would be a One-Click - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Heimdall_One-Click
Good luck!
Hi Guys
My Phone bricked itself. I suddenly started to get in a bootloop all by itself. I tryed using zhingmings method on restoring stockrom
I couldn´t find a german one so i took the austrian, but i guess this is not a problem- is it?
I have acces to clockwork mode but if i try to make a factory reset it also just keeps restarting.
So when i try flashing the rom via odin i think it does nothing of worth i get this message

Also is there a way to turn of my phone. If i longpress power it just starts rebooting.
Your help is much appreciated.
Either you are in the wrong forum, or you are flashing the wrong rom....
So ask your question in the 9100 forum, or flash a P6800 rom
Good luck
May I know if you are using P6800 or I9100? Coz from the msg you posted you are flashing I9100 firmware. If you are using P6800, it will not work. It also might make things worst...

Are you sure the drivers are ok?
Try installing kies..
The odin error seems familiar, chances are that, you might not have been in download mode while flashing
Or that your drivers are incomplete.
BTW please post the link to the thread which you actually followed.
Hit thanks rather than typing it now Free
Ok i'll try to install it... I look threw lots of forums and trheads looking for something new but nothing worked. It even maybe be my usb plug(i fogot at the moment how it's called in ENG so if I'm wrong don't mention it ) because it's for Galaxt ACE not for GT-s5300

you need temporary cwm to wipe dalvik cache download temporary cwm and clear from that
I know I can't go to CWM because I cant apply update form sdcard on recovery

1) First you need to use correct version of Odin3 , use only Odin 1.87 with PIT download from here always use fresh Odin, Before flashing do a battery pull and power button press for a min first. than enter download mode. fully charge battery, before flashing
2) what to do when you have setup connection problems Look at My Android Solutions (link below) or any other problem
3) download correct version of ROM for your region, most likely Poland from here
4) follow flashing procedure when using PIT (tick repartition) should be auto ticked, NEVER interrupt flashing,

ok, this phone is fairly new as its earliest ROM, is 2.3.6 and 2012 series, so is your phone still under warranty? if so you should let Samsung solve it for free.
otherwise
1) you can connect it to KIES and see what is its response, ( does it have any updates?
2) you don't have recovery , right? so try flashing a stock kernel from here use ,tar for Odin flash, untick reboot and remove battery after flash, to enter recovery mode by combo keys, than you can flash CWM as update following above guide and enter CWM to flash custom ROM
Check this out! Links to useful Guides and " Banned " Documentaries
Okey so the below soliutions didn't work Kies always says connecting and after a few minutes it's says connect device
Now with warranty I didn't found until when warranty overs but I had already when then a 8 months ago(I guess) with almost the same problem, but right now it's already 1 year and 1d when i bought it so i think warranty is gone
If you don't have anything to offer for my I want to ask is there other flashers than odin if not how would it cost to repair my phone
OMG!!!!!!!!!! I found out what was wrong. you see i was trying to flash my SGP and it again got stuck on Setup conection so i opened task manager on Win7 and I spotted this :3

no only odin is there for samsung to unbrick phone
if you can enter recovery mode you can use cwm or twrp

First, in Europe, I think Samsung warranty is for two years, so check that, where you bought your phone.
Second, unknown device or USB connection problems can be solved by following this
Third when using Odin3, KIES must be killed by Opening task manager on your PC and close these : Kies.exe , KiesTrayAgent.exe, and KiesPDLR.exe or it will cause setup connection errors in Odin
Fourth, try the stock ROM again with the PIT file or just the stock kernel to get 2e recovery
Fifth, you can use Heimdall to flash ( but you must know how to unpack your ROM for doing this) or you can try the many other flashers in MY Android Collections under recovery tools using ADB to connect and flash

Hello
Here is a brief history of my SGH-I337. I need help to debug.
1. Screen cracked. Got it fixed by Samsung, where it was reset to Factory default.
2. Try to install Lollipop through Kies3, when the phone got stuck in EFR and cannot boot up.
3. Tried everything that freakboy13 posted -- did not fix the issue.
4. downloaded firmware from Sammobile.com; below is the Odin error log.

Do I need to check other boxes to overcome this write fail? Appreciate any suggestions.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Odin is failing because you can't flash the mdl firmware on your device. You need to flash nb1, which is not available on sammobile. See this excellent guide by gutt13, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221. If you have further questions ask in that thread. They are the experts on your device.
