I can't flash with Odin to save my life. Tried many different combos. Comsey n official. Same thing. Tried BL on different Odins. Same result. I can't even root with sampwned. Can anyone help me? Please?
*oh Odin has an issue with my device info.
*TMO carrier and stuck on U1 firmware HD3
Also, I've already tried all of the Odin fail fixes. Doesn't work for me.
I'm actually having the same issue with my SM-G955U. I've tried several updates from both carrier specific and unlocked variants. Used Odin Comsy, 3.12.3, .5, and .7 and everything fails immediately. I've rebooted back to download mode every attempt as well, and I cannot get it for the life of me. I just used Odin on an S7 a couple days before this, but the S8+ is giving me grief. If I figure something out, I'll try to keep you posted OP. My Baseband is G955USQU1AQHD for any readers
I would really appreciated it!

try this
1) Flash the u1 firmware using prince odin.
2) Flash desired firmware using normal odin.
That should work.
One question does OTA updates work for you?

It sounds like your original flash was a bad flash. I have a t-mobile s8+ which I flashed to U1 from 100% stock T-mobile software and I get updates just fine.
I am no ODIN expert but you may need to look into re-partitioning your device. Does knox show void?

Mine does indeed show that Knox is void. Same issue where I cannot flash any U1 or U update, even though this device has always remained stock. What are the steps to re-partition?

Hi I installed SwapSD on my sgh-m919v Galaxy S4 from Videotron but it totally screwed up my phone.. Now I get ''mtp has stopped'' ''settings has stopped'' and ''android.process.media has stopped'' each time I start the phone. I've been looking for the stock rom for my specific model (SGH-M919V) for hours but can't find it anywhere. I tried using SGH-M919 stock rom but it won't work even if I strictly follow the guide, ODIN tells me FAIL!! (Auth).. Could someone upload the stock rom for that specific model somewhere and give me the link please ?
I attached a screen capture from odin to show you what problem i get
Thank you

Not sure if you got what you needed but you can take the phone back to stock using Samsung Kies, just plug the phone in download mode select "tools" then "Firmware upgrade and initialization", input your phones info and off you go..
if you could also grab the rom downloaded by Kies and uploaded for us that'd be cool.

Unfortunately reverting back to stock with Kies has not worked for me either with that method.
Hopefully the stock firmware for this carrier will drop soon!

I too would like the stock firmware for this device before I start tinkering with it.
I am surprised however that odin fails while flashing the sgh-m919 firmware. I thought these devices were essentially the same.
Have you fixed your phone yet, and how so?

I've soft bricked my phone and would really appreciate a stock m919V firmware. I've installed a bad kernel and/or rom and even the partitions are all screwed up. Nothing to do without a m919v odin flashable image.
Anybody?

Sent in a request to samfirmware.com & samsung-updates.com to post the firmware. Hoping that they consider the request.
Maybe you could do the same? I'm not asking to spam them, but I suppose it'll have an impact if there's more than 1 person requesting the firmware.

So, in my last post, I had mentioned that I had contacted samfirmware.com to post the stock firmware. They've responded to my request and already uploaded the firmware!

Good luck flashing it back to stock and reviving your S4.
Awesome. I'm downloading right not, but since I'm not a paid member on hotfile I'll only know in an hour if it works. I'll keep everybody posted, hopefully I'll be able to flash it with odin.
I'm also wondering what the no-name firmware on sammobile is. They posted the videotron, wind, and mobilcity firmwares. Is the no-name one unbranded? We'll have to wait and see.
So I downloaded the videotron firmware and it worked. Everything is back.
I'll try the unbranded version to see what it does.
Did you install the stock firmware using the stock recovery?

I believe he would have flashed the stock firmware using Odin for Windows. At least that's how it is normally done.
I just downloaded the videotron firmware from the website, I didn't flash the recovery. It's .md5 format, so I've flashed it with Odin. The phone was on CWM recovery, but it doesn't really matter as the firmware flashes the stock recovery too.
So I just flashed the videotron image in odin, phone rebooted and everything is fine, I'm back to stock, including no root and stock recovery. The only thing that's still there is the fact that phone is unlocked. (I've used the method described in the forum to unlock it).
As for the other firmware, it has _ESK in the name. I'm 99.9999% sure it's Eastlink firmware, another mobile carrier in Canada. The other ones had _VTR and so on in their name.
thanks for the info

Is the "Mobile hotspot" and "data" on the Notification panel (when you swipe your finger from the top of the phone) ???
Or is it the same as the Tmobile version, Mobile hotspot is on a separate app in the app drawer, and mobile data can only be accessed under settings menu?

The nonhlos.bin version must match the bootloader version. For example, if you have the NB7 bootloader, you need to have the NB7 nonhlos.bin. Flash the proper nonhlos.bin.

Thanks for the reply. How can I find out what bootloader I have? I pretty much had rooted my MetroPCS S4 shortly after I bought it back in July of 2013. It was still using Jelly bean 4.2.2. with older firmware M919NUVUAMF2. I hope that info helps. Would I need to find a different nonhlos.bin file or update/upgrade my bootloader? I'm really SOL right now cuz I can't make phone calls. At least I can still recieve texts. Thanks again for any help?

July of 2013 means your warranty is up so tripping knox would be no issue. I'd completely update with the firmware then you can not worry about stupid mix match problems

AP. Uncheck auto reboot, flash it, when done pull battery, back to download mode and flash it again and reboot. Just to be 100. Sometimes bootloader and/or modems have a issue writing to the device.

Edit: Looks like you're flashing the firmware...good choice.
If you've never flashed a different firmware then you would need the nonhlos.bin from the MF2 firmware. You can find that firmware at this link, under firmware...
http://androidforums.com/metropcs-g...cial-metropcs-s4-root-information-thread.html
Alternately you could just flash the new NI3 firmware like shiny suggested. It would be easier altogether. Your manufacturer warranty has expired so updating the bootloader is no longer an issue.

If it wasn't complete it wouldn't pass the md5 check in Odin.
I always use FDM (Free download manager) to download and have never had an issue.
You need to use Internet Explorer and click through the links as normal (no right clicking) for FDM to pick it up.

here is a screen shot of the error in odin
The firmware is fine it passes the md5 hash check.
The problem is either the wrong firmware or your bootloader is locked or doesn't allow downgrades.
As a hunch I'd say the wrong firmware for your device, try a t705 firmware instead if t705w.

thank you for your time ashyx I have tried everything like different firmwares, different odin, different computer but all the same results. I think the bootloader is locked. the only firmware I could flash using odin is the last lollipop and all kitkat failed. I think I might sell it and buy an international model instead.

Yes, the phone was rooted, I had the stock rom (the last one before DOI1) and the unikernel V8, I decided update using smartflash, i dont have problems in the update, but when i put the simcard, the signal its very bad, with other phone the signal its good. the problem its with 3,5 G and LTE.

Hm. If you're rooted, I assume you know how to use ODIN, correct? Also, since you've got a custom kernel, I also assume KNOX is tripped, correct. Making both of those assumptions, I recommend you download the DOI1 firmware from Sammobile or XDA and flash it using ODIN. I may be wrong, but it sounds like you have a modem issue, and re-flashing stock should help.

No, don't work, I try to install other stock firmware, other modem, nothing..
How is the way to downgrade the firmware of modem?
How to install old modem or baseband?
OK I have officially screwed up...
So it was all going smoothly flashing a tweaked custom rom and twrp successfully and then I decided to back to stock...
I accidentally (ok maybe not so accidentally) flipped the OEM unlock switch and now I am locked out of my phone since I still had the custom binary on the phone.
I tried to flash the latest stock firmware for the s9 BTU found from samfirm but odin seemed to have not liked the firmware or something and it gave me an a red message on the odin mode screen.
When I try to flash everything at once I get "REV Failed Check (Bootloader)"
When I try to flash just AP I get "REV Failed Check (Kernel)"
At the moment when I boot up I get the message telling me to use emergency software recovery but Smart Switch does not seem to recognise the device either in the emergency recovery page however it does try to connect on the home page.
I'm not too sure what to do, any help would be nice?
Thank you
You cannot downgrade the bootloader, check which version your phone has in Download mode (BL: xx) and check which version the firmware you are flashing has G960FXXU1BRF8

OK I think I have found the BL version from the line that says...
"RP SWREV B:2 K:2 S:2"
But what firmware has the BL Version 2? They all seem to have a BL version of 1 from what you've said?
If there are no firmware which match this, what do I do? Is my phone redundant?

OK
I saw on another thread that was replied to about the Hong Kong version having been already upgraded to BL 2 so I am going to give flashing that a go and I will report back.

Yea you'll either have to do something like that, or wait for your region firmware to have it's BL updated
Tried it out with a BL2 BTU firmware from SamMobile and the flash went smoothly however now I'm stuck in a bootloop when I'm trying to boot up.
I know this could be anything but I can't get any form of logs as the only mode I have is Odin mode available to me...
The way I flashed it was by doing BL first followed by AP, CP then CSC separately with auto reboot and one other one checked that was instructed by SamMobile. I tried to do them together but I keep getting an error of not being able to read a line.
What should my next step be?
What could be the reason for this bootloop as according to Odin the flash went well?
Thanks in advance

You might need to check "Repartition" in ODIN only, flash all 4 parts at the same time, use CSC and not HOME_CSC
Make sure you are using ODIN 3.13.1
Oh yea forgot the update...
I got it working, I think I unchecked repartition and auto reboot whilst flashing all of them together to get it working
So yea this is now solved
