I am not new to the rooting scene, however I have a problem that I can't seem to figure out. I've been reading now for the past 2 days, tried several things and still can't get this resolved. I've never had any issues in the past with odin and rooting samsung phones before, including ones with locked bootloaders. However, I've met my match. I tried following the tutorial listed on this site for rooting the samsung note 3 from tmobile. I watched the video and followed along with the files listed here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-tmobile/#root
My problem is as follows: I tried rooting with odin, installed kies for the usb support but halfway through the root process I get the big RED FAILED! phone's progress bar stops and it hangs. I though this was strange and never encountered this before. I then tried repeating the same process and same results, however this time around I am only able to bring the phone into "odin" mode "download" and not the original stock rom.
At first I was getting the original "the firmware encountered an upgrade issue" and couldn't bypass this unless I opted for download mode. I've tried the same steps to "unbrick" via oden with stock tmobile firmware for this phone and yet it yields the same results, big exclamation failed on odin. I then tried the process with the .pit file to partition that I found online somewhere and that fails too. My note starts up now, but stuck at the samsung galaxy note 3 screen. I've tried several versions of odin, switching usb cables, usb ports and I am unable to root this phone or even get it unbricked! i've read extensively here and can't seem to find a solution to my problem. Can someone PLEASE point me in the right directions?? BTW, I am using a mac with VMWARE, i've never encountered any issues with vmware in the past while running windows 8.
Phone says the following:
Once in download mode my phone says the following:

I can't seem to do this on 2 versions of windows installed on vmware for my mac. Everytime I try odin fails! Is there a way you can help me do this with heimdall on my mac?

Tried the root method here.
And got the error:
Code:
image size too large!! W:1080, H:1920
display image fail
SECURE FAIL: KERNEL
I panicked, but figured it'd be alright if I just flashed the stock firmware. I re-downloaded the unmodified stock firmware and not I am getting the error
Code:
sw rev check fail fused 3 > binary 2
Odin fails to flash stock at all. It seems to flash it if it's the modified one (the attempt to remove the bootloader) but it then doesn't boot.
If I try to boot phone after flashing stock and failing it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select revoery mode in kies & try again."
What can I do? I want to try re downloading/flashing the PIT file but i can't seem to find a download for that anywhere. Could anyone link me or maybe create a backup pit from their phones I could use?
I have no idea what to do...
Same Issue
I flashed Cyanogenmod and it was working smoothly until I would attempt to load certain apps like Tribal wars or if I was in Game of war, the text would lag after I type a single line of wording then it would jerk up and cause the app to crash. Also, after a few reboots I noticed it automatically uninstalled half of my total apps and I had to redownload them all. I would like to reverse what I did so I installed the stock firmware for my SPH-L520 with this method.

Hi Folks,
I've messed up my S4 mini. I'm going to try to remember what i have done..
First of all, I started with rooting my phone with Odin. After that I've installed Slimbean. Yesterday I thought I saw heaven in this Deodexed rooted rom: http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2014/04/deodexed-and-rooted-stock-for-galaxy-s4-mini.html But it went wrong.
I've copied that rom to my ext SD card and installed this zip with the install .zip function in the CWM Recovery interface. After installing I've rebooted. At the first screen my phone hangs.
After this I've tried to recover my phone with ODIN by using a stock rom I9195XXUBML4_I9195TNLBML1_I9195XXUBML4_HOME.tar.md5 But it hangs at the end of the proces. Below the transscript:

When I'm trying to boot now I got the Annoying message stating: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Unfortunately the recoverymode in Kies doesn't see my phone.
Does anyone out here know a possible workaround?
Hope I can find help here!
Thanks a lot!

No you are not.
Based on your "screen" the computer should detect it . Kies is :silly:, if not try different ports of pc, or other pc. You also can try making a "samsung jig" if all fail (Google it = instructions).
Load the correct latest firmware depending on you back sticker (under the battery) with odin.
Best of luck.

SGH-T999 soft-bricked in download mode only, Odin fails every time! Please help me
I am new to forums and am in dire need of help. I have learned all that I know through google searches and spending at least 10 hours trying to solve this, so I need simple, easy-to-follow instructions.
I wanted to try experimenting with cyanogenmod so I tried using the one-click installer. On my wife’s galaxy s3 it failed but installed CWM and I think it removed GAAPS and booted up in stock touchwiz. After trying to get cyanogen on it and failing I decided to use Odin to get it back to factory settings and it worked!!
My Tmobile SGH-T999, however, is soft-bricked. I can't even get into simple recovery (volume up + power + home) but I can get into download mode. When I try booting it up normally, I get the message:
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". The top left of the screen says:
Product name: GSH-T999
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO

I've tried using Odin 3.07 to put the same firmware (from sammobile) that I used on my wife's phone. I tried flashing the firmware with the proper 16gb pit file and that also failed. I'm pretty sure the PIT file I have works because I didn't get an error message (an earlier attempt with a different PIT failed with a PIT error message on the phone).
Whenever I use Odin it completes 99% of the way and give me this error message (at the end)

I've installed the latest samsung USB drivers, got from sammobile.com the latest firmware (for 4.3) and put it in the PDA slot, got what seems to be an accurate PIT file. I'm using a new USB cable. It worked for my wife's galaxy s3 but I have no idea how to make it pass!
I sincerely hope that you can help me.
warmly,
-Bryce J
PM me if you want to chat, text, or call me!
What did you do to yours to get it softbricked in the first place? Did you ever update to a 4.4 ROM? You are trying 4.3 and if you ever updated to 4.4 bootloaders/modem, then you can't go down to 4.3
Did you buy your phone new, or used online? A lot of used phones are some bastardized hybrid i747 and t999 parts.

I'm having something similar. I'm just trying to get to factory reset but can't even get to recovery mode.
Simple fix. Download the stock firmware and boot into Download mode. Follow the Odin tutorial and you should be fine.
Hey,
I have some old samsung ace 2 that I was experimenting around with, wanted to try and get some 5.1.1 ROM on it. But first I figured I needed to get some kernel on it, though I did something which now means that during bootup it is stuck on the samsung galaxy ace 2 logo. I can access ODIN mode, though cant access recovery mode. The battery mode also seems to be broke too as it just displays a loading symbol. So far I have flashed the EK kernel on it with what seems to be a success according to ODIN mode. Also note that Samsung KIES tries to connect to my device in ODIN mode but it never connects and troubleshooting doesnt do anything.
I tried to flash stock firmware to it through the odin software whilst my phone was in odin mode, though it displays a bunch of stuff in the odin pc software then attempts to reboot my phone though it just gets stuck on the boot logo again without odin really doing much here are the logs:

Sometimes Odin gets stuck in "Setup Connection", I remove and put the battery again and runs, but with the same error described before.
I tried downloading stock firmwares from my country (Mexico), now I tried with one from Russia, and now I'm downloading a Repair Pack with BL, PDA, CSC and MODEM (I'm doubting that this will work).
I was checking the repairing manuals from Samsung, and I believe that the main problem is in the IC (U500) or probably R503, but if this will be the main reason, I need to change the motherboard. I don't hope so.
I disassembled the phone and the IC's and connections "appears to be OK".
Are there another alternatives to verify and repair the phone in the software or hardware? In this case, what can I do? Or what I'm doing wrong to correct the mistakes? I will be so grateful with your help.
Thank you so much. I hope your soon answer!
how it happened - just restarted and stuck on logo for no reason?
Try PIT, but be careful. It's very likely that you have famous SDS, that's why it can't mount partitions and flash anything.
You can also try different Odin versions and PCs/cables
I have downloaded the PIT file and my question is: How can I flash it? With the PDA, MODEM, etc. together or only the PIT alone? What checkboxs i need to check? I was reading about SDS and apparently the only solution is to change the eMMC and weld it. I sent the phone to the Carrier Company "Telcel" to unlock the Phone and after this the phone restarted and restarted and erased all the apps. This happens like 2 or 3 times. After this the phone get stuck in the logo.
