Well, I sure hope I didn't jack up my new phone for good.
I was using odin to get OUDHS CWM-Based Recovery 1.0.3.3 working.
I booted the phone into download mode, then connected and waited for my phone to be recognized. I selected the correct tar and hit start.
It failed on the first write section, and I couldn't get it to continue so i turned my phone off and tried to boot into download mode again. Now no matter what I do it gives me the "firmware upgrade failed" message and tells me to connect to Kies, but Kies will not detect my device.
Any ideas?
For reference I was following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260031 to the letter.
I will continue to work on this for awhile.

If you can still get into download mode try using odin to flash a complete firmware made for your specific device and obtained from sammobile.com

If I were you I would forget about KIES and uninstall it along with any other samsung applications and drivers
you have on your computer, then reboot your computer and download only the Samsung USB Drivers.
Once you have the latest samsung usb drivers install it and restart your computer.
That way you will have a clean start, and if the screen of your phone displays
anything at all, especially if it displays something about kies then that proves that
your phone will go into download mode if it's done properly.
Press the volume down, home and the power button at the same time until the phone vibrates
and then let go of the power button first before letting go of the other two buttons.
Before you do any of this, you need to download the stock Samsung Jellybean
v4.2.2 M919 MDL Touchwiz Odin flash firmware.
Here is the link to download it: http://k0nane.info/rom/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip
Here is the latest Samsung USB Drivers download: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...ng_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.14.0.exe
Well did finally get Kies to pick up the phone but it just gets stuck on connecting. How is anyone supposed to do a firmware recovery if the phone cant be connected to?
I will try what you said and uninstall and only install the usb drivers.
And to answer your question I can't get into download mode, it just skips right to the Firmware upgrade error.
Although in the top left of the screen I see this:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SGH-M919
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Official
CSB-OEM_CONFIG_LSB: 0x30
Write Protection: Enable
Does that mean anything?

Then do it the old fashion way, pull the battery out of the phone
and while pressing the volume down/home/power buttons put
the battery back in and see if that gets it into download mode.
(I hope your phone is a Tmobile M919 and not the international version or a variant like the M919V).

Yes, it's is the T-Mobile version. It has the case branding and everything. I got it straight from them.
Ah, that did it! I'm now back in download mode. Thank you.
I'm downloading the stock firmware, it will take about an hour. Should I attempt to flash the OUDHS recovery again, or wait and just flash the stock JB firmware?

You are downloading the STOCK JB firmware now....
After your phone is up and running reboot into download mode and you will need to Odin flash the OUDHS recovery TAR file: http://d-h.st/jTk
Once that's flashed you will need to go into OUDHS recovery and flash this superuser.zip file: http://www.shabbypenguin.com/Android/Scripts/Nexus-Files/Root/Superuser-1.0.1.1.zip
After flashing the superuser.zip reboot the phone.
Just to play it safe, after you reboot the phone reboot it again in recovery and flash this:http://batakang.com/ftp/SGH-M919/ROOT_M919UVUAMDL.zip
This will setup your kernel to be 100% un-restricted so there will be no chance that you will loose root access.
NOTE: If you want to keep your phone STOCK then after odin flashing the JB stock firmware don't do anything else.
Good luck!
Thank you for the help. One question though, Do i continue to use the PDA button on odin for the JB flash like I was instructed for the other thing or do I use the phone button?
FWIW home button is not needed on the S4 to enter recovery or download mode. I love it Just hold down one of the volume buttons as its booting and voila

Use the PDA button. I *believe* the phone button is only for flashing modem files.

Make sure your cable is good and try different USB port on pc.
Also which firmware are you on?

I've used 2 cables already and different USB. . I think the pit file is what I may have to check agian,as this seems debugging ODIN failures. Can somebody post me S4, Tmo 16GB stock pit file?

thats correct, when flashing .pit file nothing is checked-its not repartioning , after it passes (if) , go ahead and flash firmware, dont disconnect.

Try using Heimdall. Use this pit file ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53455783) with the 4.0.4 stock ROM from samfirmware.com and flash it using Heimdall with repartition checked. This is what worked for me when nothing else did. I was using Linux, but there is Heimdall for windows. Make sure you install Heimdall and Heimdall frontend as the frontend makes it a lot easier. Run the frontend for the above steps.

I don't have a link for the drivers (I use Linux, so there is no need for drivers,) but a Google search should lead you in the correct direction. Also, make sure you run Heimdall as admin, or the device might not be recognized. To get the individual files, decompress the tar.md5 or .tar file.
You do not want to use "Load Package." Go to the flash tab. First try it without repartition checked. Use 4.0.4 from samfirmware.com with this pit file. I have an image below explaining everything hopefully.
I just saw the Windows 8.1 part. Windows 8 can sometimes cause problems with Odin, but it is worth trying Heimdall. If you have a Linux machine and Windows doesn't work, I would try that.
Hi There
I've rooted my tablet and installed SuperSamsungV2 and everything worked.
I then inserted a 32GB SDcard and went to TWRP to format as ext4...and hoenstly I'm not sure what happend
I couldn't go into recovery or anything after I tried formatting the SDCard (maybe I had selected something that I shouldn't...)
It goes into download mode (I can make it go to ODIN mode by pressing POWER+VOL DOWN+HOME)...
I then tried to flash the TWRP recovery again, but it gives me an error about missing or corrupt PIT file.
Can I reflash the stock Samsung firmware (KNOX is triggered now)..or can someone send me a PIT file for the European/Nordic LTE version
which I then can install using ODIN (or is heimdall better ?)
I found this using the SamMobile.com firmware database : T805XXU1ANFB_T805NEE1ANF2_NEE
Will I brick my tablet by flashing this firmware..and can I flash at all when the PIT file is missing ?
I don't care if I loss my data or anything, just want me tablet back. And I don't mind re-rooting it either.
Right now I can't turn the tablet off or trigger it to recovery at all. so All I can do for now is letting it run out of battery...
If you need more info, please let me know...
Thanks for any help
Hi
I've found I pit file for the T800 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54428490). I would really appreciate if someone with a T805 either can verify that the T800 and T805 share the same pit file. Or if someone can extract their pit file from their T805 using the Heimdall and pitmagic tools. And upload it here. I'll then verify it.
I'm afraid that using wrong pit will brick my device completely...
Any help is very much appreciated, thanks

It would replace your installed ROM; if you're just looking for the new modem, there's a thread that has it posted in it (sorry, I'm on mobile, or I'd dig it up for you).

So, I downloaded the new firmware from SamMobile, since I was using TWRP and the OTA wouldn't have worked.
Link is here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/54333/M919UVUFOH3_M919TMBFOH3_TMB/
I had to restart my download several times to get it to finally download completely. Luckily, Firefox would restart where it failed each time, so didn't have to restart from beginning each time. But, it took quite a while - several hours.
BTW, I did a full NAND backup with TWRP before I started this.
Used ODIN 3.09
Flashed once, but the bootloader and modem didn't take, so I did the double flash, and it worked.
To double flash:
Unchecked AutoReboot in ODIN
Flash the firmware once
Pull battery
Boot holding down Vol-Down button to get back to Download mode
Flash again
The problem with the single flash was my WiFi wouldn't turn on, and when I checked out the versions of the ROM, bootloader, modem using Samsung PhoneInfo from the Play Store, I saw the dreaded mis-matched versions.
Some of my partitions were still NH7. Evidently Samsung keeps a backup of some of the partitions and restores them when the phone is rebooted. Double flashing flashes overwrites this backup.
I rooted with CF-AutoRoot again, installed SuperSU, and was back to where I was.
UPDATE:
Only issue so far is that I had to clear the cache on the Play Store. Was getting a services error.

Thanks for the update. My own download from Sammobile completed successfully (miracle!) And I am considering doing a phone wipe/double flash/rebuild. May choose stock ROM and freeze the junk. I'm on MDL bootloader at the moment and a fairly old LTE modem.
Before I do anything i have to figure out how to back up my texts (in Slimkat messenger app) such that I can restore them properly into the new environment.

If you flash this firmware from SamMobile. It will overwrite your modem to the newest. It will un-root your phone. And, yes you can go directly to this version from your NB4 version.
So, after you flash this firmware you will have the newest modem. And, you will have to root your phone again.
ROM = ROM
Firmware = Modem + bootloader + ROM

frustrated foh3
This morning OTA pushed the new update to my phone and I accepted thinking there was a lollipop update finally. I had juke woken up and didn't bother to check first.
Anyway, I'm now on FOH3 and am just trying to install custom recovery on my otherwise un-molested phone. I've tried the heimdall option as well as the cf-auto root with odin 3.09 (even attempted the double flash) either I'm doing something wrong with Odin or missing a step because when I hit start I end with 0 succeeded/0 failed and it stays in download mode. When I attempt to reboot to recovery mode, I get the blue text stating booting recovery and then black screen which eventually just goes back to stock.
Is there some other method I need to try when rooting/installing trwp for FOH3?
[edit: I'm an idiot. assumed I already had debugging turned on. I did not. *facepalm*]
-thanks in advance
I haven't flashed a phone since my galaxy s blaze 4g.

I download this file from the link .... so I get a zip file in my pc called "M919UVUFOH3_M919TMBFOH3_TMB" its a 1.56 gb... did I need to open this zip file? or take this zip file and put on Odin 3.09 in AP / PDA ?
because I open the zip file in my pc and have two files:
- SS_DL.dll
- M919UVUFOH3_M919TMBFOH3_M919UVUFOH3_HOME.tar.md5 ( 2.5 gb )

I think the one what I need to put on Odin its the last file "M919UVUFOH3_M919TMBFOH3_M919UVUFOH3_HOME.tar.md5" right?
but the other file " SS_DL.dll " for what reason came inside the zip file ?
I read need double flash... with " Unchecked AutoReboot" in Odin... but please can you tellme what more choices I need to check or unchecked in Odin to start flash this firmware ?
and if I need to uninstall kies from my laptop and install another Samsung drivers... or with the drivers came in Samsung Kies its ok to start flash this firmware?
thanks thanks thanks ....

Yes, you unzip the file to your computer. The .tar.md5 file is the one that you browse to and select in Odin.
Uncheck everything in Odin. Then, flash this firmware twice, with out letting your phone boot into the system. After the first flash is finished. Pull the battery. Put the battery back in and hold the Volume Down button while you power on the phone. This will put you back in Download mode. Then, flash the same firmware again.
After that second flash, you can boot your phone into the system normally.

If you really wanted to, you could leave those two checked on the second flash.
However, leaving them unchecked on both flashes will work, and are the easiest instructions to follow.

Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622790. If that doesnt work try DIFFERENT usb cables (official works best), verisions of odin and different usb ports. Make sure usb debugging checked and power down and pull battery, then put battery back and (while its off) hold just vol down then plug it in to the computer while odins open. If this stuff doesnt work it could be motherboard (its probably not though, dont worry). Good Luck, keep trying.
