Hope someone has some info.
I have recently tried to recover my phone via Odin flash. I'm flashing the GummyCharged 1.9 FE odin file. I've done this SEVERAL times w/ out any problems.
My problem now is that when the Odin flash is complete it shows "Pass" and when I reboot my phone it boots with an old version of CWM (4.0.0.1). Not only that but when I try to "reboot phone" it boot loops back to CWM and will not load ANY for of an OS. I've tried multiple Odin files with no luck. Same thing over and over.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm used to having to recover my phone from a bricked state... but never had an issue where I push a file to the phone and it will not boot after. Tried wiping data/cache after Odin as well... Still nothing.
I would try going back to stock using Imnuts' stock ROM and PIT file which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486
That has always fixed any and all issues I've been having with the phone after messing something up.
EDIT: Here is the stock EE4 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172182

Yeah, no doubt. And I was able to do a restore on the Imnuts PBJ OBT kernel from 7/30... my problem started when I installed the new kernel version (from 8/8) and tried to backup/restore. Working perfectly now though!
Having same issue still getting recovery mode
I did a fix sd cardupdate for the rom clocking.
I had gumicharge rom on it
After 4 hours my battery was at 50% so I decided hey i can just load the rom on it again and no problem clean free.
It did not work. I am using odin.
It did not work so I got the pit file from this and it gave my system life and the ed1 file wont download it stalls out and failes i tried using
CI510_VZW_EE4_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV03_user_CL1014954.tar.md5
or
CI510_VZW_EP1F_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV3_user_CL300919_Rooted_Debloated.tar.md5
both do nothing.
My phone just sits there reboots into Manual mode and looks like my blue recovery console.
Clear cache
Upload from SD Card
and clear memory so forth.
Thats all my options.
I am now stuck with phone i cant use or update. I am at work so now i cant use the megaupload since those are blocked by our firewall.
I was able to remote to pc to get a pit file.
At this point i dont know what to do or just do insurance claim on my phone and get another one. I dont know how to fix it now.
I cant read the sd card on any computer to put stuff on it and odin is writing things to it The pit file on this fix did give me a recovery enviroment but nothing on roms are on the sd card.
roms ive tried dont load for automaticaly its just in that manual mode thing with the icon of the little android dude.
it says
Android system recover (3e)
Enter: OK key, select:Vol Up/Vol Down
Reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
bewlo it syas #manual mode* and little android guy with eclamation point next to him.

Not sure if you're going into download mode properly but try this:
open ODIN
add the PIT file in the PIT section
add the EE4 OEM file in the PDA section (do not use the phone section)
leave everything else in ODIN as default except click on "re-partition"
take your battery out of the phone
hold the volume down button & plug in your USB cable (do not let go of the volume down button until you are in download mode)
ODIN should now now show a yellow com port for your phone on top left of ODIN and your phone should display "download mode"
select start
When it's complete ODIN will show in green that it passed. Unplug your phone, put the battery back in & boot
Hope this helps & good luck

don't put the battery in during flash & leave auto reboot checked. Auto reboot will not do anything as there isn't a battery installed... it'll just turn off. Unplug the phone after you flash it & put battery back in & boot

This is pretty much what fixed it for me. DON'T GIVE UP! Trust me, I literally had to try this several times before it booted up. I know its frustrating, trust me, but if you stick with it you can fix the phone.
Each time you're able to get to recovery mode, if you're phone doesn't boot, do like five data wipes and wipe cache. Then Odin the .pit and the EE4 from the link above in the pda field (both at the same time).
Good luck! Stick with it I know you CAN fix this!

No need to wipe anything... when you have "re-partition" checked it wipes everything but the sd card

I'm sure you're right, these are just the things that I did when I finally got it working.
I got stuck myself last night and odin started to fail every attempt, even with the pit file and following numerous instructions found around the site. I actually thought my phone was bricked for good.
I installed PST lite and selected the PIT and EE4 and selected to repartition. It took longer to do but everything came back up. Then using odin I was able to flash back to the rom I had before.
This was after an hour of trying to fix it as I mentioned and Odin kept failing.
^attempting to reflash via samsung pst lite.
loaded PIT, stock EE4. checked "repartition". when I click download, it starts, but freezes at 9%. RX_TIMEOUT shows on the phone screen.
I'm trying this method b/c Odin is not working. Same thing, just hangs, sez RX_TIMEOUT. (repartition w/ PIT, stock EE4)

Yes. tried both with and without. Just hangs. Can never fully make it through the flash.
Stuck with soft bricked phone.
Waiting for my wife to get home with her PC laptop. Hoping it really is just a platform issue (running ODIN on Mac Boot Camp)

What version of Odin are you using? I'm pretty sure I'm using Odin v. 1.82 or something close to that. Not too sure that it would make the difference. Just a thought.
Also, I had to Odin QUITE a few times to get it back up. I had even run the Odin w/ JUST the .pit file. Thought I read somewhere to run the .pit an UNCHECK the repartition box (I know it says it'll give you an error but I did not get one).
All in all, not too sure what exactly it was that finally got it working. But I eventually ran the .pit and ee4 (both posted in post #2 of this thread). Then when my phone booted up, it looked like the problem remained. I had to get back to work from lunch so I just put the phone in my pocket. Then out of nowhere I heard the boot animation come on.
Just make sure you read through, pretty much, all of the threads that deal w/ this stuff. There is almost always someone that has come across the same problem that you may have and almost always someone who had figured out how to fix it.
Good luck, this CAN be fixed!
I need help guys,
I used Odin to root the phone and did my first custom rom which is the clean rom...it went through the process and when it was about to reboot i got the system software not approved by verizon and take phone to store
I have been told to odin back to stock but it wont let me. The stock image on odin wont work it says fail
I tried the first method and used odin in download mode to flash the stock image
Failed:
This is what I get
added
Odin V3 engine
File Analysis
all threads completed (succeed 0 / Fail 1)
In the Odin Download mode on the phone the top left reads as follow
Odin Mode (Red Letters)
Product Name (SCH-I535)
Custom Binary Download : Yes (1 counts )
Current Binary Custom
System Status Custom
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable
One thing I gotta mention is that when I got the phone last week it had an OTA update from Verizon which I did install and then a few days later I rooted the phone and when I tried to use Clean Rom it gave me the dreaded Verizon message
Sounds like you didn't unlock the bootloader.
Ya your bootloader is locked again ... unlock it and redo the steps everything should be fine after that
Guys I know that the bootloader is locked but i cannot get back to stock to unroot phone and then unlock the bootloader
Odin recognizes phone but the stock image goes into fail mode right away
I cannot get into recovery and the only thing I can do is go to download mode and Odin but nothing else

You are aware he can Odin flashed the latest OTA instead of that you have provided. Here it is :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439. This will also help fix his phone being that it is recent. Forgot this link to get him back on track: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114.
i thought thats what he already tried? but yes you can odin any ota file being that an unlocked bootloader isnt needed.
When I try the VRBLK3 chain it goes into set up connection for like 10 minutes on Odin with a fail at the end each time
I'm not sure being ive never had that issues ... im sorry and good luck

I had a similar issue once. This helpful post by h3llsdr0id eventually got me up and running. Took a total of like 4 hours though lol.

Make sure you have the correct files. This is for the original root66 so it's ICS. Once I booted up and activated I took the Verizon OTAs all the way to JB and then rooted/unlocked bootloader.
edit: I actually had to go back to ICS to reprovision my SIM so not sure you have to go through all of this. Try to odin stock JB ROM like mentioned above.
Thank YOU so much guys you have made my day.
After trying all last night and today I got it back to stock with the OTA file through ODIN. That is all I needed and it went right back to brand new stock phone using 4.1.1
WOW.
I thought I was going to have a dead phone.
Thank you all
Glad you got it up and working!!!!!
Yea I had the same problem but all it needed was a handy flash back to stock. The good thing with making these mistakes is that if it happens again you know what to do.

Hi there,
Could someone please help me. I bricked my phone 3 days go and went through odin and root66 stock to unbrick it. I installed CWR and backed up everything, then i purchased triangle away to reset the flash counter. When I did that I got the software not authorized by verizon error screen. It won't let me get into download mode or recovery. Can I still try to use odin? What should I do? I'd really appreciate some help today is the 4th day I have been trying to fix my phone, only to make it worse.
Thank you in advance
You have to get into download mode to use Odin. It will go into download mode, if you will search, there are ways to pull battery along with button combo to get it there. After rooting, use EZ Unlock 1.2 and that will unlock your bootloader without then unauthorized message from Verizon. Make sure you use only that version, the others don't work.

Pull battery, hold volume down+home+power keys while you put the battery back in. If that's too many buttons to fumble with at the same time you can try pulling battery, put it back, hold all three keys while plugging it into your computer. My old phone worked that way, idk about the s3. You SHOULD get the download triangle and it asking you if you want to continue. Hit volume up to continue then plug it in and odin should recognize it. Get the stock rom image to flash in the PDA slot of odin. Accept the OTA's until you're up to date then unlock bootloader, root, then flash custom roms/kernels AFTER you've done the appropriate reading. Theres a sticky in development takes you step by step on how to unbrick, then unlock and root. Those should help once you get into download. Hope this helps! :fingers-crossed:

Thank you for your response. I tried pulling the battery out and holding volume down, home and power keys at the same time while putting battery in, even as i plugged it into my phone, but nothing but the unauthorized error screen comes up. I should note that my phone is note 2 not s3. I apologize for posting it here, but this thread seemed to be just like the problem i was having.
I got my GNP 12.2 (SM-P900) a few weeks ago and just tried to root it using Odin and download.chainfire.eu/384/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.zip
However it paused at cache.img and after 10 minutes or so it just failed.
I've tried it a few times, but same thing, and on start up all I get is "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I tried Kies 3 and Kies 2.6 but they both say my device is not supported, even if I try to go into Tools and do it it says the model name is incorrect and doesn't even give me an option to enter the serial number :-\
I looked around for a stock ROM but the closest I could find was the P901 and P905 (But I am the P900)
I don't really know what to do, so any advice would be much appreciated :angel:
Actually got Kies working, was just entering the model # wrong
This could probably be deleted / etc, not really sure how to do that

bump?
I'm having the same exact issue. I can get it into download mode. I've tried Kies several times and it keeps failing. Originally, I was using odin 3.07 to auto root on the sm-p900. During the process, the screen got this weird rainbow pixelated look, and odin told me the process has failed. It is now stuck on the error message "Firmware update has encountered an issue..."
Now I'm not really sure what to do. I've tried to reboot from download mode, and that sends me right back to the error message.
Any ideas?

IIRC you need to reflash recovery and you should be able to boot up again.

Thank you very much. In case anyone else is wondering. I ended up asking the problem with Samsung kies, using the upgrade feature rather than emergency recovery. Wiped all my data but u have my tablet back.
Kind of wondering what went wrong with the root attempt. I followed the instructions to the T.

Did you use Odin 3.0.7 or 3.0.9? 3.0.7 is included with CF and MUST be used even though 3.0.9 is the latest. If odin was already installed on your PC and you used 3.0.9 bad things are going to happen.

I tried both as well, and that's exactly what happened to me. During the process, my screen went all screwy and that's when it told me the process had failed.
I had some of the problems mentioned above. My attempt to flash CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.tar.md5 failed using Odin3-v3.07.exe.
It tries for several minutes and then says failed.
I then used Kies (not Kies 3) to reflash the tablet to factory settings. Here its important to know that Kies will never "connect" you have to ignore that and go to tools and "firmware upgrade and initialization". Google "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue” – Got This Error While", the first result on "droidviews" is the guide i used to fix this.
I then went into the settings and enabled "USB Debugging". Something i had forgotten before. I tried to flash the root file again, but it still failed.
Given that i was able to reflash the firmware with kies, i would say my USB port / cable / drivers must all be good.
What else should i try?

For those getting stuck or failing root, Make sure your usb drivers are updated in Kies 3 then flash stock recovery in Odin 3.07. Don't get mixed up with stock firmware (over 1GB) and stock recover (only around 20MB).
Stock recovery is here:

Question, what is the purpose of the Stock recovery and CWM recovery?
Also, after trying three times, i was able to get the flash to work. After each failier i used Kies (not kies 3) to flash back to factory. Would these recoveries have helped? Maybe i wouldn't have lost data?

Also, after trying three times, i was able to get the flash to work. After each failier i used Kies (not kies 3) to flash back to factory. Would these recoveries have helped? Maybe i wouldn't have lost data?

Stock recovery is what your device originally comes with. CWM recovery is a modified version of that and it allows you more functionality.
When I messed up my update and root, my device would not boot up at all. I flashed the stock recovery and that enabled me to successfully root. No data was lost, no factory reset was needed and all my apps and settings were unchanged.
Don't mean to bump this thread, but I'm having the same issue. Odin 3.07 hangs up when it gets to cache.img, and it's non-responsive. I don't care about rooting it, I just want a stock firmware back. I've tried the files that Russbad posted, same issue. Running Note Pro 12. SM-P900 on 4.4.2.

Try this: With your device unplugged from your PC, open Kies 3, go to tools tab and uninstall the drivers. Then plug your device in and reinstall drivers.
I don't know if it makes a difference but if you get your device to boot up, enable developer options and check USB debugging.
Also make sure you are using the cables that came with your Tablet.
Then flash stock recovery and flash stock firmware.
If it still fails, check that your downloaded firmware and recovery are not corrupted, download them again.
Also try these procedures using different USB ports.
Good luck!

I found the issue, it should work with everyone with it. Some people don't have the .md5 extension enabled in their archive viewer, so by simply removing the .md5 (left with CF_XXXX.tar), and flashing that it works 100% fine.

I finally got mine rooted by simply trying over and over. I re-downloaded the CF flash tool and used 7zip to extract it several times, and used a different usb port at least once. Not that I really thought there was a problem with my extraction or the download or my USB port. But from what i have seen posted, you just have to try it 3 or 4 (maybe even 10) times until you get lucky and it works.
I did at one point try to recover my Note 12.2 with the "recovery.img" instead of flashing it with a full factory re-image (which causes data loss) but that didn't work for me ether. But I later had good luck with using Odin 3.09 to flash TWRP. So at least I now have a good custom recovery and backup tool.
okay everyone, I'm going to try these methods and report on what happened. Thank you for being so helpful. :cyclops:

FINALLY! :laugh: I got it to root!
I ended up using a different computer in the end and used Kies 2.6 for the drivers. I tried this a total of maybe 8 or 9 times, and it worked on the second attempt on the second attempt.
For the record, I left "md5" in the file when rooting, and that's when it worked.
After flashing a volume mod, everything went to hell with my phone(stock rom)I for force closes on chrome/andora and i couldnt use my phone since i keep clicking ok to the fc's notification but they kept coming back.
so i decided to do a factory reset but i dont know what went wrong that now in recovery when i click reboot after the reset it says NO OS INSTALLED DO YOU WANT TO REBOOT?
does this mean i need to flash a new rom or what? I was on the stock rom and i kinda want to go back to that but i dont kno what went wrong
no os probs!

So you can get into recovery? if so did you make a backup before sound mod? I know tdunham was one of the gents that made the sound mod, not sure which one your using created by who? Tdunham has a restore file for volume if problems arise. so if your using his awesome mods you should send him message. If all else fails or you are jus lazy just odin the firmware file required for your phone. Everything will be the same as before jus not rooted so reroot with method you have used not sure when you got phone but I heard towel root doesn't trip knox.

i used a volume mod to remove the high volume notification
im thinking of odin the firmware but i dont want to lose my internal storage.
I cant make a backup because in recovery it tries to save to internal and i dont have space, i cant figure out how to make it go to sd card.

Not tryin to be rude jus curious if u were, i hope u can figure this out, i love my phone to death so i feel ur pain bro. Check firmware settings about phone scroll to bottom to find ur firmware. Oh if u do not have developer options activated while on same screen in settings in about phone click the build section seven times it will make developer options appear, then go into developer options which shows in your settings now and activate usb debugging, you this so u can interface with odin, and oh yeah our phones need to be in download mode to flash firmware, assuming u used towel root since u havent used odin yet?!?! You can get into download mode by pressing and holding volume down, home button and power button. Let me know bro!

well i cant boot phone so i cant check what firmware since recovery says no OS installed.
what is driving me crazy is my pc recognizes the phone but odin doesnt
i plug in phone the driver installs but then i get a message with modem failed intallation WTF?
this is the same pc i used to root
is there a way to do this WITHOUT using pc for example downloading a flashable file and do this all through recovery
also when i am in recovery and i press system boot i get a message that says YOUR DEVICE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ROOTED INSTALL SUPER SU SWIEPE TO INSTALL??
wtf happend , all i did was factory reset after a bad volume mod
im coming from an evo 4g and it seemed way simpler than this

Okay so u have no nandroids??? If not check the box your s5 came in they usually have the firmware it comes with printed on box. If you dont have that either, i would to jus download ne5 which the most recent firmware has new modem, still rootable, and it will put os back on your phone. After you do this make nandroid! They are your best friend!!!! Oh yeah odin isnt recognizing your phone because on samsung phones there is a download mode, with phone turned off, press volume down home button, and power all at same time keep holding till download mode iniates. It will say like loading custom os blah blah...press up on volume and presto odin is recognizing your phone.

As far as making your computer fully recognize and through ODIN(hope u pressed up button once in download mode makes odin recognize!) I would uninstall those old drivers, type into google s5 samsung drivers, prob doesnt mean a hoot but to just to be extra precise, download install new ones. Maybe try different odin 3.07 ....and when u run odin make sure u are extracting package if zip and right click program once extracted and run a administrator. No need to touch any settings once in ODIN besides loading firmware. Fell asleeo sorry for late response.
Download and install cnexus stock rom from the dev section. That should get you running again.
Do you have twrp? Sounds like you wiped the system instead of doing a factory reset.

well i couldnt get odin to recognize phone in download mode. I deleted drivers and rebooted but i always get samsung usb modem failed. and When i do manage to get in to install, it still doesnt show up in odin(.09 and 3.07) and in device manager there is a yellow triangle in samsung modem.
I will try to uninstall everything and delete samsung registry keys as i saw something in google that it might help.

Hit thanks by accident. Yes it should work although I haven't done it on the S5. Once you get a computer working you can use odin 3.09 and flash my full tar no data file. This will get you up to full NE5 without wiping data.

It depends on where you are now. If you are ND2 now then by flashing the Rom (system) you are only bringing your system up to NE5. To get all of the other firmware up to NE5 you need to do it with Odin on a computer. Because some of the firmware won't update using Mobile Odin.
If you are already on NE5 then you don't need to do anything else after installing the rom from recovery.

This may sound stupid, but at the expense of stating the obvious, are you using the original usb charger cable that came with your phone to connect to your pc. If not, you should. I had this problem 2 phone generations ago, I thought I had bricked my phone. Use the original cable. All other usb cables are a Crap shoot.

So when I was trying to unlock my phone via my fingerprint, i didn't have my finger on there correctly 1 to many times and locked my phone. I couldn't remember my passcode and had to log into it via my google account. It then restarted and now won't boot. Gives me the "custom binary blocked by FRP lock" Tried flashing the root tar file and TWRP tar file with no luck. Don't know what to do as I have never came across this before. Any help is appreciated. Phone is rooted but stock.
They holding volume up, home and power when the phone is off. Should get you into recovery. Then do a factor reset. Not sure if this will work though.

The phone is rooted so flashing the tar file for root or TWRP is useless because its already rooted. The problem is you locked the phone with your fingerprint. Did you make a backup? You can restore that and you should be good beause it resets the device completely. However, if you did not, then flash the stock tar file in Odin and you'll be good to go. You can find the stock tar file here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62536311&postcount=1
I can confirm it works. You will just have to reroot because it returns the phone to stock out the box.
Due to FRP (Factory Reset Protection) by Google, You won't be able to flash any custom files to phone, it'll always fail, To be able to flash any custom files, You have to enable "allow OEM unlocking" from developer menu, which will disable the FRP lock, But this is not possible in your case since you can't access the menu, But since you're rooted, i assume that you enabled "USB Debugging", So now connect the phone to PC and run CMD and try the following commands one by one,
adb devices # this should list your device
adb shell
su
cd data/system
ls #this will list all files in that dorectory
rm *.key #to delete all .key files which contains the lock
and you're done.

If your phone doesn't boot to system, Then you can't use my method, My method was all about saving the data on the phone, And if the data wasn't important to you, you can always flash the stock FW for your phone, Or even wipe the phone from recovery, And i can see you had no option since system doesn't boot up.

Good for you, And that's because you've flashed an One-Package FW (AP only) which is simillar or newer than the one you had, In that case all your of your settings and data will be still there, And that applicable also for the screen security, Which you'll notice it being there if you had one before your phone got stucked at boot screen, Now i see what your problem was, Before now i thought it was about security. :highfive:

Yes it did. Download the stock firmware from Sam Mobile and just flash it through ODIN whilst in Download mode. It kept all my apps and settings too.
