When that happened to me I did a hard reset and then flashed the firmware. Don't know if that helps, a year has passed since I did that.

I have a situation where my VZW LTE SCH-i925 can only access download mode; this was the result of a failed attempt to root/update ROM. I have tried flashing the stock firmware with the below results. I have sourced a PIT; however, when flashed it to fails. I have searched the forums for quite some time and I cant seem to locate anything solid that works. Did you flash KIES_HOME_I925VRAMK1_I925VZWAMK1_1481643_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 succesfully or is there another ROM on sammobile that I missed?
I have located the following files for the SCH-i925:
recovery1.tar.md5
sboot.bin
SCHI925.PIT
These files were found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252630
I have also downloaded stock firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=24285
KIES_HOME_I925VRAMK1_I925VZWAMK1_1481643_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
I also have:
KIES_HOME_I925UVXAMD1_I925UUSCAMD1_1098858_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Nothing I do seems to work. I see a progress bar but invariably NAND write fails at some point. Can anyone give some guidance? I know search is my friend but apparently I am very lost. Please help, thanks!
Below is the Odin error I receive when flashing the stock firmware from sammobile.com:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

Hello everyone! My case is the following: I bought very cheap bricked Galaxy Note with the help I’ll manage to fix it, but as far my attempt are not successful.
The first thing is that I don’t know the exact model of the tablet. On its back it’s written GT-N8000, but when I boot it in Odin download mode it’s says GT-N8020. Which of them should I believe? Is it possible that it is indeed GT-N8000 but someone tried to flash it with the wrong ROM?
As for the tablet it goes through the “Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1” logo and the proceeds with the “Samsung” boot image and that’s all, it never loads the Android OS.
It doesn’t also boot in recovery mode, but only in download mode – the Odin.
When I try to flash any TWRP for the model (both for GT-N8000 and GT-N8020) it’s unsuccessful, the same is with the stock ROMs for the both models. I tried different ROM files, different TWRP versions, different USB ports, different laptops – the result is the same. I didn’t try different USB cables because I have only one, but the same cable works flawlessly for file transfers with my other GT-P5100. I also tried with the PIT files, but the result again is the same. And here is the log file when I try to flash with TWRP with Odin.

Can't root OG1 - help

My Galaxy S5 (Sprint) updated to G900PVPU3BOG1 "OG1" firmware.
SInce then I can not root the phone with CF-Auto_root as usual. I tried TWRP (my fav), Clockworkmod, & philz touch. All give me a FAIL in ODIN.
I tried ODIN 3.10 and 3.09.
I also tried to flash custom ROMs with ODIN with similar FAIL in ODIN.
Now, I've flashed and rooted my S3 and S5 a number of times of different PCs without issues but nothing seems to work since I got OG1.
Is this a security issue with OG1? Am I missing something? I've exhausted all options I know of.

I am also having this same issue when trying to use CF autoroot and if I try to flash any custom recovery.

I have OG1 on my S5 and never had a problem with getting root. I used Odin3_v3.10.7 and used CF-Auto-Root-kltespr-kltespr-smg900p.tar.md5. TWRP works well but I used Philz. Try this order when rooting. Its seems to me its always something small that your missing.
Put your phone in download mode
activate odin and then plug in your phone to the usb.
click on the AP tab load the md file from cf auto root
make sure your comm port shows up and is blue, if all is right
click the start button and in 9 seconds you should be rooted and then follow up with twrp or Philz and you should be all set...

So after many many attepts and failures I saw a post that said that the problem that I was running into was that I had reactivation lock on. I shut off reactivation lock and my phone rooted and allowed me to install a custom recovery without any issue. Hopefully this helps others who are having this same problem

That was it!! The reactivation lock option was checked.

Glad you got rooted..

would this be the fix if i'm on OG1 update?

Just make sure that it is unchecked. Then you can flash a recovery with ODIN and then supersu if you want rooted stock.

can i change a recovery.img into a md5 file so i can flash it?

Go here, https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=15340
Download either the first one on the page the KTsoonez TWRP or philz_touch_6.57.8-klte.tar. Turn off phone and reboot to download mode (power + home + vol down) . Open ODIN on the computer when the phone is in download mode. Connect phone to computer. ODIN should recognize it. Put recovery in PA slot and check auto reboot. Hit start and the recovery should flash in a few seconds. After it is finished, unplug phone and pull battery. turn on phone normally and let it boot. Download this file https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and copy to phone SD. Turn off phone. Turn on phone to recovery power+vol up+home and Install Zip and select this file you just downloaded. Reboot. You are rooted.

So I'm trying to root my roommates S5 G900P/OG1 with Odin 3.10.7 and I cant disable the reactivation lock on it. It will let me put in his password then it goes back to the security page with the lock still on. Ive tried the factory reset workaround to no avail. Ive searched and searched. Does anyone have any ideas?

Recovery is not seandroid enforcing

Hi,
I've just gotten my new s6 and I found there was a bit too much bloatware on it so I went ahead and tried to root it using CF-Autoroot.
I went into download mode, opened up Odin and tried flashing it. It said passed, then when it booted up it got stuck on the samsung logo and said "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" at the top.
I had the latest software update on my s6 (which came out like a couple of days ago), this is probably why it didn't work. I've tried flashing this "stock firmware" I found on the net with Odin but it gets stuck on "Setupconnection".
Any help is well appreciated.

Try a different cable, or try rooting with unikernel, it might boot up after that

My problem doesn't lie within Odin, it's just that I'm bricked and no matter what I try it does not work.
I tried to flash Unikernel and I've also tried flashing TWRP as well as quite some full stock ROMs, nothing seems to be working. I'm out of ideas.

This is what I get when I try to install a full stock rom

I fixed it, TWRP was installing correctly but it would boot into normal mode before I was able to get into recovery.

Please please help me guys

Its fixable, but you'll need to trip your Knox , I was in ur shoes and here's how I got it fixed
Flash Philz recovery from Odin on download mode, then boot into recovery (home+power+volume up) then reset everything I mean everything except recovery, then go back into download mode and flash stock firmware Knox will be tripped cuz of Philz
Hope it works out
Edit: just realized your Knox was already tripped lol

If your wondering where to download philz, go to Arter97s website http://arter97.com/browse/exynos7420/recovery/11.0/
Find model number (G920I for me) then download the recovery

this can be fixed, go to sammobile find the firmware according to your phone model, flash it using ODIN, that's it.

Hi @alawii_shark
Can you share if you are on 5.0.2 or 5.1.1 firmware, bootloader & modem?

How many times has been said .... Sboot fail is when you try to flash an older firmware than you currently have.... Flash OI9 BTU and you are OK

Okay i will try to flash OI9 BTU
Even though i tried to flash the latest xsg ( my phone is xsg) it failed at the last
Maybe i need flash the pit file too ?

Depending on your model twrp might not work, 3.0.0 and 2.8.7.2 didn't work, I had to use 2.8.7.1, anyways flash that version and UNCHECK AUTO REBOOT ON ODIN and now it should work

Is there anyway i can know which one should i flash
I had 5.1.1 xsg
And my phone is SM-G920F
i took my phone to a phone shop and they can fix it
Even though i dont believe they will be able too
I just wish it works

Greetings and welcome to assist. If you have root you could make a system dump via adb but I doubt that would solve your issue. Havr you tried kies emergency firmware recovery ? If that doesn't work all I can suggest is flashing a pit file, the fact that it is passing with odin but not booting is a concern though
Regards
Sawdoctor

Kies and odin flashing original and custom rom, also emergency update passes when flashing. but the phone just reboots to the same firmware update error.
can i do a "clean" install some how?
whrere can i find the correct pit file.
