I have a 9195 running 4.2.2 stock. it was under the EUR csc and I tried to install a 4.4.2 through odin but it failed and now my phone is bricked. kies won't recognize it and it keeps turning when I insert it so I cant emergency recover the firmware. trying to download my old one but its not on sammobile anymore and its taking hours to download from this other random website I found. any clues as to why I couldn't flash it? does it have to do with my CSC? I was on EUR and I was trying to flash a branded one. but the brand is the my phone carrier and even though I dindt get it from them I figured it'd be okay

i wouldn't suggest to flash branded ones for non branded phones but anyway, you could try flashing mine from the unbrick/downgrade guide.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751224
make sure to follow the guide completely

This is what i do when it appears to say failed, i flash a stock recovery that should be in the attachments added to this post, put your phone into download mode, connect it up, wait for odin to see our device, then load the recovery into odin and hit start then it should restart and be in 4.4.2.

Earlier today, i was going to install drivers for chainfire3D on my 4.1.2 stock rom on my N7100 international.
After the drivers installed my phone got stuck in the welcome screen (the first one that shows up after starting the phone).
It should be said that I'm pretty new to rooting, flashing, etc. But of course I wouldn't let that, or any number of warning messages during the installation stop me.
So my question is, how do I do (if possible) a full factory reset? I can't get the phone connected via Kies, naturally, and I can't find a firmware file for my region (Norway).
If I could find a firmware file for my region, could I just install it via Odin? If so, where can I find one? Closest I've come is a Greece firmware on samsung-updates.com

Place your cell in Download mode, then use Odin to insert the official android 4.3 package.

Start up Kies (no cellphone connected), then go to Tools / Firmware Upgrade
It will ask you for the model number, so put that in.
Then it will ask you for either the serial number or MEID, so put that in, too.
Then it should download a big-ass android package (around 1.5 gigabytes).
After the package is decrypted, copy it from the temp directory to some safe place on your local hard drive.
Use Odin in Download Mode to install this package.
The package should end with .tar.md5
If you accepted the official OTA 4.3 update, and you tried to revert your bootloader back to before KNOX... you're lucky since that should have completely hard-bricked your phone. I think, given to your description and assuming you've got the KNOX bootloader now, your best bet would be to try to repair the install by doing what I think is referred to as a "dirty" flash... which basically means you don't format or wipe your data before you attempt another installation of the same version.
I don't know for sure though, so don't take my word without someone who knows more verifying or refuting this.
Good luck, I'll be interested in seeing what you wind up working out.

I downloaded the mk3 modem, and flashed it in odin, it fixed the softbrick. i rooted it with cf-auto and it went through no issue. disabled knox no problem, and now got cwm working.
I just picked up an i747 for my wife to use and need to unlock it for SmartTalk. It came running 4.1.2 and everything I see says you have to first downgrade to 4.1.1 to unlock. The trouble is I can't find a working copy of the 4.1.1 firmware anywhere. I signed up for that SamMobile site but the 172MB download seems to be corrupt (tried it on two PCs).
Links on other sites are all long gone. Is there another way of unlocking this phone at this point? If not, does anyone have a copy of the 4.1.1 firmware that I can flash with Odin?

Much appreciated, but I'm getting a failed "aboot" message on the screen when I try to flash it in Odin, which is odd because this isn't even a Canadian phone. I kid, I kid. The message in Odin itself is write operation failed.
What's odd is the sticker under the battery says SGH I747 (and the boot logo is AT&T), but under "Download Mode" for Odin it shows up as T999, which is the T-Mobile version.
Any ideas?
Hey,
So I had a friend ask me to unlock her S3, no biggie, I did it with another one (That hadn't been updated and was running 4.1.1 or something)
Following instructions online, I tried to upload a .md5 file via Odin but had the wrong version of Odin, and it failed to load. Now my download screen is showing SW REV CHECK FAIL : Fused 1 > Binary 0
As well, turning the phone on only results in "There was a problem updating the Firmware. Please run recovery mode in Kies."
Which is all fine and dandy, except Kies doesn't connect to the phone. It freezes on "Connecting..." and does not go any further.
Any help? I found another thread about it and am trying to use philz through Odin 3.07 and then flash through an external HDD the CM11.
Do you remember what stock ROM was on the phone before you used Odin?
Does the download screen say anything about warranty bit?

No clue.
Says Warranty Bit : 0
This five minute thing is a tad annoying...
Would be good to note, it is still under Warranty, and samsung offered to have it sent and fixed, however the phone is kind of needed ASAP.
I'm pretty tech-saavy, but I use Apple products generally and this is a touch foreign to me.
Odin failed to write Philz, just says WriteFail
This leads me to believe that the phone has least a 4.3 loader on the phone; therefore, you cannot unlock the phone using the free method as there is no way to get the stock 4.1.1 modem on your phone.
Is it an i747 from ATT? If it is, there is no stock ROM that can be flashed in Odin to restore the phone as ATT never released a full firmware flash for 4.3 or 4.4.2.
Any warranty left on the phone?

She doesn't even care if it's unlocked anymore, as long as we can get it working again.
I'm in Canada, so I'm assuming it is AT&T.
I believe the old OS was Jellybean 4.3. There is warranty, however she doesn't want to wait the length needed for that.

Wait, you have an i747m or i747? Big difference as cross-flashing the bootloader could hard brick the phone.

"odin mode"
product name : Sgh-i747m
You can download the full firmware for the phone from sammobile.com. Search for the sgh-i747. The search results should inlcude the 4.3 and 4.4.2 firmware for the i747m. Make sure you match the firmware with the carrier.
If the phone had the 4.4.2 ROM, you cannot flash the 4.3 ROM.

I'll assume there's no way to check, should I try one before the other? Will doing so screw it up further?
How much warranty is left on the phone? I'm asking because there are different ways to restore the phone.

I'm not overly sure when she purchased it.
Samsung support said the IMEI was still covered by Warranty and to just send it in, but if there's a way to do it today I would like to.
Well, to be as safe as possible, you could try flashing the 4.4.2 Kit Kat ROM from sammobile for her carrier. You may have to register to download the ROM.
Who is the carrier?
Koodoo is her carrier, i'm download both the 4.3 and 4.4.2 at the moment.
So try the 4.4.2 first?
If you go with the 4.4.2 and it flashes properly, you will not be able to go back to 4.3. I recommend using Odin 3.07.
If you try to flash 4.3 and it fails, this tells me you probably have the 4.4.2 bootloader and modem on the phone.
Whenever you flash a ROM, there is always the possibility that something will go wrong. Just be prepared to deal with any possible issues. Don't panic, we're here to help.
When using Odin, do not check anything except F.Reset Time. When you see the word Reset in the status windows, disconnect the USB cable, pull the battery, boot into recovery, wipe cache and data, reboot the phone.

Okay. So going to test with 4.4.2 once it's done downloading.
I had Auto Reboot checked before. When I turn on the phone, I can either set it in Downloading... mode or the error screen, I have absolutely nothing else. Is that the recovery screen I should be using?
To use Odin, you must boot into download mode.
When the file downloads, open Odin, connect the phone in download mode, click on the PDA button, browse to the downloaded 4.4.2 file, select it, click start.
How long does it sit on ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
Before it says reset? I'm attempting this with 4.4.2 under PDA with only F. Reset Time checked.
I've had metro by tmobile for a while but decided to switch to straight talk. So my firmware was tmobile and after switching the sim and to straight talk there was a system update, to which I updated and it got stuck into the boot loop. I tried flashing at&t U1, U1 and sprint, it's all I had and they all failed except the sprint. It passed but continued to boot loop still. I'm at a loss. I've never had an issue flasing any US firmware on this phone. Help please! One more thing, when I boot into recovery it flashes the android then says no command and the droid guy lays down, then it goes into recovery
Here's what the bootloader screen says
I was hoping someone would help and sorry I don't do hangouts. When booting into recovery this flashes really fast. What other info do you need to help??

Hi and thank you.
I used Odin3 V 3.14.4 and the prince comsy (for the U1 firmware) versions.
I tried flashing:
G960USQU8FTJ3
G960USQS8ETH6
And the newest U1 firmware.
The U1 failed, FTJ3 (TMOBILE) failed, but ETH6(Sprint) passed but still getting a boot loop.
Samsung drivers are installed and odin is recognizing the phone. I used BL, AP, CP , and CSC.
