SOLVED! (at bottom)
I have searched threads here as well as other places and have had no success.
Device: Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535)
Info: Stock, non-root and no ROMS
Current firmware: KitKat 4.4.2
I was trying to use Odin 3.09 to revert to the firmware version 4.1.2 (which I got from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) in order to install CM 11. I entered the phone into download mode and entered the 4.1.2 firmware file. Everything loaded and connected fine. I clicked Start and it stopped at aboot.mbn and failed because I think 4.4.2 has a locked bootloader. I also think I tripped the Knox Security flag and therefore it is now softbricked. The phone can still go into Download mode but not recovery mode.
I followed two guides to unbrick it:
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166
The microSD card method did not work. I have not tried JTAG.
2) http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-i535-unbrick-soft-brick-125413/
Odin once again fails and cannot flash the VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5 file, leaving the same error as before:

What can I do now? Is my case different because I'm on 4.4.2?

You are in the same pickle as everyone who took the 4.3 upgrade and tried to downgrade. You have two options
1 wait for the 4.4.2 tar (could take days)
2 try a little experiment by flashing nc1 with Odin and if that works (does the full flash doesn't need to boot) download the 4.4.2 update zip and flash it in stock recovery by holding power button + vol up + home at the same time from a powered off state.

Hmm, a few days isn't bad. It couldn't take longer than a week, right?
Is this the correct link for NC1? www .mediafire.com/download/fx8xu907ff48bo3/I535_NC1_Kernel.zip (take out the space after www)
Also, I could not find the official 4.4.2 update zip for my phone no matter where I looked. Any ideas?

You provided a kernel link just form looking at the title. I'm going to guess that this file is not 700+ MB. If it is not, then that is definitely not what ThePagel was referring to. He was suggesting Odin flashing the full stock VRUCNC1 tar from his thread. I am fairly certain this does not work but you can try since you have no other options.
4.4.2 update.zip.

Thank you so much! I was getting a bit worried and then I found this post! :cyclops:
Sorry to bump an old thread but how did you successfully flash the file with ODIN? It is recovery.img and I don't see a place to flash an .img file in ODIN
---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 AM ----------
nevermind... im dumb lol
Hello Everyone,
I have a chinese i9105p on hand. Nearly all aftermarket roms ask for a 4.2.2 stock before "install proper/newest recovery", however, the highest stock version for a china i9105p is 4.1.2. And it seems impossible to use 4.2.2 roms from the other region. Odin just refuse to flash. I tried flash CM13 and remix directly with cwr4.0.3.2(the version work with android 4.1.2), after flashing the phone goes to reboot loop or stuck at the loading logo.
The missing of 4.2.2 stock rom should not be a limitation. There are no 4.2.2 stock for i9100 at all. And CM13 works for i9100. From there I found out that they upgrade the kernel at the same time when installing recovery.
So I extract the boot.img for a 4.2.2-I9105PXXUBMI1 stock, extract the recovery.img from twrp/cwr, combine the two into a new tar file. Flash with odin. Reboot to recovery. Stuck on loading logo again.
Could some expert help to make a workable recovery which includes the proper kernel already? It should also be useful for the other 4.1.2 users who want cm13, we can direclty flash the recovery and update, instead of download and odin the 4.2.2 stock for a intermediate step now.
Or any other solution to make cm13 work on chn i9105p with the absence of 4.2.2 chn stock?
regards
Wait does Odin actually recognize your device? If it is then I dunno what is going on,try downloading CPU-Z from the Play Store and screenshot what CPU does it say and post it here,because it may be a clone

Thank you for your fast reply, Dinkec. From your signature I can see you are really a guru in ROMs.
The odin I use is from
odindownload[dot]com/download/Odin3_v3.11.1.zip
It works perfectly with the chn i9105p stocks. Any 4.1.2 chn stock or roms based on could be flashed successfully. Actually I have used those stock to revive the phone from brick or booting loop many times. The odin also works with CWM 4.0.3.2/4.0.2.8, and I have flashed CM10.1 with CWM 4.0.3.2 successfully as well. However, any update attempt to android 4.2.2 or higher would lead to boot loop/stuck.
So I am not so worried about if the i9105p is a clone. By the way, it is not a special problem on this i9105p, but a general headache of all chinese i9105p. They feel as if they had been thrown over by samsung and the rest of world.
This is the official firmware for i910p. Anyone could check and confirm that 4.2.2 is missing for CHN area.

So there is only three firmwares on the Sammobile site,and no 4.2.2 seen.
Did you try flashing the latest TWRP because that CWM is very out of date and probably is the reason you cannot boot Android 4.3 ROMs and above,you will need to install this recovery through Flashify(an app from the Play Store)
Flash this image from the link below:

You are really an expert. I thought I have offered all the neccessary info, however, I learned from your reply that still many details are missing.
I didn't know Flashify before, but I tried TWRP manager. The TWRP manager from googleplay doesn't work on 4.1.2 stock. I can open the app and choose my phone type, then the app get stuck and logout itself.
I have tried TWRP with odin. Flashing TWRP-2.8.0.1-s2ve.tar.md5/TWRP-2.8.0.1-s2vep.tar.md5 from its official site with odin and reboot into recovery, will result into boot stuck for about several minutes, and then the phone would reboot into its current ROM automatically. I also tried TWRP-2.6.30_4.2.2_ODIN-s2vep.tar.md5 from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560928
with the 4.1.2 stock and CM10.1 (because the CM 10.1 is said to be 4.2.2). Same result, recovery boot stuck and reboot into rom after a few minutes.
The 2.8.0.1 is the oldest version I could find from its official site. They suggest that the new version might not be compatible with the old kernels, nevertheless, the old version failed.
Reading carefully from the install instruction of xda roms, I learn that it might be the problem of selinux. Starting from android 4.2.2, selinux was introduced. And the problem comes out, the new twrp which support selinux, only works with kernel 4.2.2 or higher. In order to flash a ROM higher than 4.2.2, you have to get a twrp work with that first.
I cannot get a way out of this loop when the 4.2.2 stock rom are missing. But as I mentioned in the original post, there are no 4.2.2 stock at all for samsung SII I9100. So there must be some way out for i9105p as well.
Have tried flashify.
A pop box saying
"Flashify isn't responding. Do you want to close it"
When I use flash recovery and choose a file.
Perhaps flashify and twrp manager only works on 4.2.2 or higher.

Take a screenshot of the CPU-Z app,it could be that it is bootlooping because the chinese version may have a different chipset
EDIT: Try flashing the .tar.md5 from this link: https://www.mediafire.com/?s6ua6z74n6r9b93

So it is the same chipset... but you have a different storage configuration it seems,because the normal S2 Plus has 8GB of storage,your has 4GB,I will look into modding the recovery because it is possible the mounting points are different and it bootloops.
Did you try flashing that recovery from the last post?
Also do you have an update for your phone because I can see the icon in the statusbar which looks like that thing for updating your phone?

Weird I get about 5.7GB free,I will look into this tomorrow since it is very late right now in my country,and cool to know that my tar.md5 is corrupt not the recovery,I will upload the img tomorrow and show you how to flash it through an app called Terminal Emulator
Btw try an older version of Odin it may help,just know that my tar.md5 doesn't work I have actually just tried it right now so don't try it,instead try flashing the 4.2.2 firmware with Odin 3.07 or something which has Odin 3.xx in it

thank you for your reply
I tried odin 3.07. It works exactly the same as 3.11. It refuse to flash any other region. I triedd 4.1.2/4.2.2 DBT region, odin refuse.
I think we are closer to the truth. The CHN version doesn't support the google service package due to local policies. So samsung might apply some special disk allocation on CHN. The hiden partition, or different partition arrangement of chn might be the reason why odin refuse and why recovery always fail.
good night

I have an idea,since it cannot flash through Odin I will give a shot and making a flashable zip since you do have some kind of working recovery which can actually flash Android 4.1.2,I will test it on my device and report back if any success and if there is hopefully there should be a download link,and also if there was different partition arrangement I think that the recovery would not be able to wipe,or factory reset,try wiping cache and see will it succeed or not,if it does then the partition arragement is the same as the normal S2 Plus

Let me make it clear, odin isn't the problem. The problem is the missing 4.2.2 chn stock. Both odin and CWM are able to flash CHN 4.1.2 stocks and MOD based on CHN 4.1.2 stocks. Neither odin nor CWM could flash any kind of 4.2.2 or higher.
Several chn i9105p holders are surprised about the 4G storage and ask on the samsung official forums. So I think the CHN storage should be different.
I did wipe AND factory reset everytime when I flash ROM, just do it again. Now the total are 3.94G, apps takes up 103M, all kind of files takes 657k, so 3.78G available. The system cannot be so small in the occupied 103M. So there should be a hidden partition which is set to be system partition.
Concerning about the working CWM, I get it from some chinese forum. It might have been modified to work with CHN partition, or the early version CWM might be not sensitive to partition management?

I have checked the stock recovery of the CHN firmware and the partition layout,it appears to be the same as my S2 Plus,what you can do but personally I do not recommend is to find a pit file for the S2 Plus(I know there is a thread of some sort with a pit file) and flash it with the firmware and tick re-partition because then it will change the partition layout,again I am not recommending this as it may brick your phone,and can you find the chinese forum you downloaded CWM from?

Here are recovery.
So if the pit are all the same, what could be the reason? Baseband and moderm might be different as the 3g and LTE standard is different in China. I don't know if it would stop eur stock roms from flashing into the chn phone.

I have no idea so that is why I wanted to make a flashable zip because it only has system files,no baseband,or bootloader files or anything like that,unfortunately I have had several internet issues and I wasn't able to upload but now it is fine and I will upload overnight
UPDATE 1: I'm now trying to install the zip,will update the post when new progress is made
UPDATE 2: The ROM booted,I will start upload now and will post the link when done
Here is the ROM,it should work,probably the other recoveries didn't work because of SELinux:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/j6z34tg9cgtr48a/Stock-ROM-4.2.2-I9105P.zip
Also if you get any error saying that there is no OS installed just restart anyways,and if it asks to root your phone click Yes

I thought it were a recovery, but it comes out to be a ROM. Well, it would take some time for my poor internet. Would update when the download finish.

No problem,and I would recommend factory resetting because I think it may bootloop if you don't
So ummmm... Slight noob here. I searched this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...e-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423/page1630) to see if it works on G920p and found comments saying it does. Being overjoyed I flashed it. Ran into touchscreen problems so I flashed the correct kernel. It works pretty good except I don't have root for whatever reason. I tried cf auto root... No go. So I just wanted to back to stock and give up finding Roms for this device BUT Odin keeps giving me a fail message like this

So ummmm... Slight noob here. I searched this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...e-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423/page1630) to see if it works on G920p and found comments saying it does. Being overjoyed I flashed it. Ran into touchscreen problems so I flashed the correct kernel. It works pretty good except I don't have root for whatever reason. I tried cf auto root... No go. So I just wanted to back to stock and give up finding Roms for this device BUT Odin keeps giving me a fail message like this

You can encounter that problem when PIT or modem or bootloader are incorect for a rom version you're trying to flash with Odin. Did you manually flashed some modem/bootloader when you were flashing that custom rom? And which version of stock rom are you trying to flash with Odin?

No i didn't install anything besides the ROM. I tried installing all the MM files for the s6 found here http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?r=SPR&v=Marshmallow(Android+6.0.1)&q=SM-G920P. It used to work before i flashed this ROM. Now i get a "fail" message every time.
Have you tried the firmware that officially came with yours?
I had once the same problem with a friends G925F which I tried the latest version of MM on and had the same issue. When installing back the firmware of our country it succeeded.
And you can always try Smart Switch the Emergency Recovery function.

If you mean "out of the box" then no. I did try to flash the official MM for my Sprint version. No luck
Hi everyone,
I do have a Snapdragon S22 Ultra that is currently running SM9080.
However, non of the CSC versions available for this firmware has eSim support.
Therefore I would like to try flashing the SM908E firmware (which should have eSim support) and which is also a snapdragen hardware.
My problem right now is that ODIN does not flash the different firmware onto the phone, so I'm looking for help on how to technically do that.
What I've tried so far:
Tried to flash BL/AP/CP/CSC files *without* "re-partition" option enabled.
This gives the error "Re-Partition operation failed."
Tried to flash BL/AP/CP/CSC files *with* "re-partion" option enables and a PIT file selected.
This ends up with Odin reporting "SetupConnection..." and then basically freezing for some time until it reports "Complete(Write) operation failed."
Note the Device is currently not yet rooted.
So I'm a little bit lost now what the problem is and how to do the next step ....
Any suggestions or ideas are highly welcome!
Further info: I've now also tried to
unlock the bootloader
root the AP file with magisk
Nothing helps to.
I can flash e.g. a magisk-rooted firmware SM-S9080 but I can't flash S908E.
This is the error message that I get when trying to use the "re-format" option and also select the PIT file.
<ID:0/005> Odin engine v(ID:3.1401)..

Thanks for trying... I'm not sure if its going to work... I have the SM9080 as well.

You should just be able to flash the home csc in Odin. I currently have a 908e with the 908w csc installed this way.
I suggest you flash twrp if you want to change different model.
Try with a Patched Odin? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/patched-odin-3-13-1.3762572/
Any look over here?
No luck so far ...
Tried the "patched Odin" -> same propblem
Tried to flash only the CSC file with ODIN -> doesn't work
Installed TWRP according to this guide Link but when I try to install any of firmware ZIP files then I get the error message that the ZIP file is not okay.
So what help now would be if I know how I can use TWRP to maybe flash one of the downlaoded firmware files.
Any idea?
