One year ago, I soft-bricked my S4 mini; downloaded and flashed the stock rom. After this progress, everything got lost, but it booted without problems. No troubles for months...
Now, my phone (rooted) is becomming slower and slower, it takes forever to boot and shutdown. Also, sometimes it crashes without reason. So I decided to go back to stock rom, to have my mobile as quick as when I bought it. Also I just wanted to get rid of all the junk.
I still got the firmware on my PC, and so I started flashing after I backuped everything.
Odin (3.0.9) said passed and my phone booted into recovery, and then normally. But then, every app I installed was still there. When going back to Download Mode, Knox was also still 0x1, the recovery however, was replaced to default one.
In Odin, I only marked the default options, Auto Reboot and F Reset time.
My Rom is from sammobile.
Does anybody know what I did wrong?
What's your problem now?
Do you mean why your knox wasn't back to 0x0? If you mean that, unfortunately knox can not back to 0x0 after it get 0x1.

when you flash a stock rom the recovery will get replaced
did you wipe data/factory reset before flashing the firmware or not? if you did not the apps will still be there when you finish flashing..

So, i have a Samsung Galaxy S III i747... Flashed it with CyanogenMod, and saw horrible battery life, and the phone stayed hot... Flashed back to an older version of CyanogenMod, and it was just unstable and a mess, so i formatted everything from recovery, and installed the stock ROM via Odin... Stock ROM worked, but i wanted back to Cyanogen, so i rooted the phone, downloaded the ROM manager, downloaded the ROM, and installed it... And it failed. So, i figured i'd hit the NAND Erase All button in Odin, and then repartition the phone, thinking the buttons wouldn't blow up the world... Now i'm stuck at the Samsung logo at boot. I've tried several different versions of the stock ROM, i can still get into recovery, and i can still get into download mode, but it always get stuck at the Samsung Logo after the AT&T carrier video.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm really hoping i didn't brick my phone... Odin sees it, and everything still works, i just can't boot the stock ROM, which means i can't get anywhere else.
try a factory reset in recovery after flashing rom

I Odin'd to stock a couple days ago and was at the Samsung Logo for a WHILE (over and hour). It did just go eventually.
Not sure what did it... Got a PIT file, and then did the NAND Erase All bit again when i installed the stock ROM again. Wiped data as soon as install finished, and it booted right up. I'm happy again
Now if i can just figure out the LTE glitch...
I rooted my phone with GALAXY NOTE 2 Toolkit. It was working fine for few months. Recently I noticed a problem when I tried to reboot it, but I pulled the battery out and after reinserting all went OK. then Next day or two another time when I tried to reboot, I got to the point where I cannot boo the phone anymore. I get to the initial T-MOBILE screen and that's where it gets stuck.
I tried to upload a recent ROM through Odin. It worked fine, no errors, no problems, but when I try to boo the same thing happens.
I also tried to get to the other menu ( Power+Home+VolumeUp). It shows the menu with some options but I'm not sure how can I use those. I treid few things but it does not work.
I need to use the phone for work every day so I am completely stuck and this is critical for me.
I would appreciate any help.

While Knox is a problem, the bootloader is the booger that won't allow return to 4.1.2. Sammy hosed us on that little bit of trickery.
If my wife didn't have a GS3 that I maintain I might have OTA'd. I have been watching their "upgrade" process for a while and knew that there was trouble in the OTA.
It will be painful for a while as people migrate in with problems that have been covered several times. We'll get through it.

I need help reverting to stock..
Here's the short version of the story.. My friend bought her i9195 in Italy, unbranded. She brought it to China.. she encountered the region/SIM lock.
I told her I could probably fix it. So, we rooted her phone, which we confirmed with Root Checker. Then, we tried using RegionLock Away. Didn't work. So I thought the "lock" was in the ROM.. so I wiped it and flashed CWM (during the root) and CM10.2.
The rom worked fine, but the SIM/region lock was still there. I tried to change the CSC with CSC select, but that wouldn't work, even with root. In that state, RegionLock Away returned "unable to find CSC info".. I thought it just needed the Chinese firmware and everything would be okay. On Samsung's website, there is no firmware for China. yippee! (Side note, when I inserted my US T-Mobile SIM, it worked fine.. but with a China Unicomm SIM, it would lock).
So I decided to revert back to the stock rom/firmware/modem.. I went on Samsung's website, downloaded the Italian version (where she bought it), and went into Odin v3.09.
In Odin, I unchecked the F. Reset Time.. I loaded the tar.md5 file in the AP field, and flashed away. I noticed that the KNOX warranty was 0x1.. but, it flashed fine and Passed.. but now the phone is stuck at the boot animation! I left it for an hour, so I know it's not just a slow first boot.
What do I need to fix for it to boot? What did I miss? Please help! Ultimately I would like it to be running the stock rom with the region/sim unlocked.. we don't mind if the warranty is void.
Just flash it again, then boot up in recovery mode, and make a wipe factory reset.
Thank you! That worked. It booted successfully.
Now to try and get rid of that pesky region lock..
So, I have a rooted device running Cyanogenmod 11 via TWRP. I have only had the device for about 2 weeks, but have noticed the speaker makes a weird noise with the volume all the way down. I am trying to return it to the store, as I have about a day left before I will not be able to return it. My issue is I CANNOT get the device back on the stock recovery. I have tried to download many files, but none of them have worked for me. Is there any other way I can reset the device back to a stock recovery so that the store will take the tablet back??
I believe you need to fash a factory firmware file through ODIN to return to stock. Though if you have already flashed TWRP and a custom rom, you will have tripped the Knox counter
I unrooted my phone ages ago, havent done anything to it since, but yesterday my phone just decided to cut out, started with apps not loading, then my phone wouldn't turn on, now my phone just gets stuck into bootloop
How do I determine which stock firmware to go back to via Odin?
My phone is UK, and unlocked
When i try to go into recovery, I get the following
RECOVERY BOOTING....
SET Warranty Bit: Recovery
and it's driving me nuts, Ive tried installing a UK firmware that I believe might be the one, and Odin doesn't come back with any errors, but the same damn message applies, as far as I know, once you can get recovery working and clear cache, you should be fine, but I just cant get it to work
I've tried installed custom bootloaders, but same ol same message

Did you tried to make an custom ROM on your SD-Card?
Your right Firmware is on Sammobile by the way
