Hi, I installed Lineage OS 14.1 on my Galaxy S4 SGH-M919. Everything was working fine, until the phone freezes (after I installed WhatsApp and used it for a bit, I am not sure if this is relevant, but it doesn't hurt to share)
They tried rebooting and it never booted.
So I booted into CWM and reinstalled Lineage OS + GAPPS. Everything works fine except that the SIM is not being recognized.
I then decided to use Odin to flash the original firmware as I did before many times (assuming there is an issue with the modem or something), but this time Odin is complaining about the PIT file.
I tried with a new cable, etc. I can't make Odin flash the original firmware.
Is there any way I could either make the phone recognize the SIM or at least install the stock firmware so then I can reinstall Lineage?
Thanks in advance,
anyone? Thanks
Looks like you have a T-Mobile s4 whose forum is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile
I just found out something strange, which might help solve the problem. When I restart the phone and install Lineage OS via CWM and go to About Phone it says that my phone is a GT-I9005. I am obviously sure it is not, but now I am thinking, is it possible that when I reinstalled the stock ROM from the SGH-M919 or when installing the different Lineage OS versions something changed?
Should I try to install the stock GT-I9005 version and see if Odin accepts it?
Any advice will be appreciated,
Thanks
EDIT: Also that might be the reason why Odin is not finding the PIT partition? Maybe it is looking for the GT-I9005 partition? So strange.
Unfortunately, I tried downloading the stock ROM for the GT-I9505 and Odin is giving me the same error.
I am not sure why it is not even accepting the PIT file for the SGH-M919. The only thing left is to try the PIT file for the GT-I9505
If anyone has any tips....
Thanks!
You can confirm the model # in download mode.
Thanks, yes, in Download Mode it still says SGH-M919... not sure why Odin is not letting me flash the stock ROM nor the PIT file. The phone is working perfectly...except from the sim and I can't find a way to flash the modem from the stock ROM I have without using Odin or Heimdall. Both are complaining about the PIT partition.
Any tips will be appreciated!
Thanks

Hi,
I am trying to flash stock ROM on GT-n5100 with no success. I will first recap what I did:
1. Tried to flash N5100XXBMD1 EUR version from samsung-updates with odin and it failed with invalid volume size
2. Recovery was not working, I flashed CWM and recovery mode was still not working, only the gt-n5100 logo.
3. Flashed stock recovery, and recovery mode still not accesible, stuck in the same logo.
4. After flashing recovery, device booted in normal android. Tried to root using galaxy note 8.0 toolkit 1.1 and insecure boot method and now the device doesn't boot at all, it gets stuck in gt-n5100 logo.
5. I can enter download mode, but every stock firmware I try to flash fails with invalid volume size message on the tablet.
So, I think I may have a problem with the partitioning. I may have got broken somehow. Does someone have the pit file for N5100XXBMD1 ? or a 3 part stock firmware I can try to flash?
The pit file can be extracted from a working n5100 using Heimdall Suite in download mode. Maybe I can use a .pit file from another n5100 running N5100XXBMD1 ?
Also can you please tell if I'm doing something wrong? I double and triple checked all options in Odin.
Thank you.

Tried from a different PC and same problem from Odin "Invalid volume size".I can't seem to find the serial number on the device to use Kies Firmware Initialization, but as I recall, yesterday when Android booted, Kies said that initialization is not supported for this device.
Anyway, can anyone extract the pitfile from their n5100? Or give me a serial number that works in Kies?
Thank you.

I checked from Kies with the serial number that I got from the box and it says "GT-N5100 does not support initializing".
Can someone with a N5100 extract the .pit file from it's tablet? It would be very helpful. I can guide you through the process using Heimdall 1.3.1. It is done in download mode.
Also if anyone has another idea on how to revive this tablet I would really appreciate it.

For anyone that can help me with this .pit file, It will not harm your tablet in any way. The procedure does not write anything to your tablet, You just nee to install Heimdall Suite on your pc, put the tablet in download mode, connect it and the app has a buton that says Download .pit file.

Welcome to the forum! Your phone's hardly bricked if you can get to download and recovery modes. Flashing the correct (stock) firmware should get you back to working conditions. What Android version were you on prior to it being stuck and what were you trying to upgrade to?

i747M is for the Canadian and Mexican variants. If you were on stock 4.1.2, you should be able to Odin back to stock 4.1.1 or upgrade to 4.3 via custom recovery. You can go to the thread below to check the correct stock image for your phone based on carrier. Make sure you use the correct image as flashing the wrong version could hard brick your phone. Download to your PC and then flash. If you select the 4.3 version, you would need to flash custom recovery to your phone via Odin, save the file to a (micro) SD card and then flash via custom recovery.

If we are going to flash a stock ROM, we would need to flash the correct version as there is risk of a worse brick if we flash the wrong one. When the phone was working normally, the old network would probably be showing during booting. If you got it from abroad, please check if you can get the information from the previous owner. If there is no way of telling the correct firmware, then you can flash custom recovery to the phone and try flashing a custom ROM via recovery. It's always tidier flashing a custom ROM to a device functioning normally but, unless we can be sure of the correct stock firmware to flash, your options may be limited.

I've seen this particular problem reported several times and it's always been a problem with the pit file. Flashing a complete stock system should fix all partition problems though. If the stock file you are using is an Odin flashable file, you may try using Odin 3.09. Otherwise, I'd suggest you find a recovery flashable image and flash via (custom) recovery.
Hi Guys!
I need some help here. I have a galaxy s3 I747M . After I loaded the lastest 4.3 Jellybean I lost use of my USB port. I've tried everything I can do to make it work. Nothing has worked. I was on the phone with Samsung for 2 hours trying to fix this issue. I can charge my phone using the port, but that's all I can do. A house hold of Samsung phones, so I have tried all 6 other cables in the house etc. PC's don't see my phone(I've tried 5 different pc's btw) Nothing has worked. The highest Tech support Samsung can offer didn't help either. Seems under my Application manager under all apps. The USB setting is doing absolute nothing. Sitting at 0.00B... Tech guys says something went wrong with the loading of the 4.3 firmware. So he regrets to tell me that my phone is no longer under warranty and there isn't anything he can do. Like I mention I have hard reset to factory settings 4-5 times and nothing works. I know someone is going to say did you check off the Debugging... Yes I have. So there you go. I am unable to use ODIN to reflash firmware because the usb port doesn't work.
If someone can help me, that would be terrific. I should mention that I also tried using the SD Card and tried loading some firmware that I downloaded and tried using the Recovery Option boot to try to load the firmware that I got but I keep getting a error of "E Signature verification failed"

Did you try different operating systems? You won't be able to load any custom software with a custom recovery.
I haven't no, I'm not sure how I would go about this. Like I mentioned, I've tried to put a md5 on my SD Card and tried to update that way, but keep getting an error. "E Signature verification failure" If I'm way off on how'd I'd do this, please do tell. I'm desperate and am willing to try anything...

If you are rooted, and were previously updated to 4.3 firmware, and if im reading correct are just trying to reflash that firmware, you can try using Mobile Odin. It won't flash the full firmware, but will do the kernel, modem, system and cache. Might be worth a shot. Otherwise look for a recovery flashable zip for the firmware. The .tar.md5 can only be used by Odin or Mobile Odin.

Hey Thanks for the reply "DocHoliday"
I am not rooted. I wish I was. I've poked around and I'm not sure how to use an .img file. I tried to put it on a micro SD and open it. I get a "E: Signature verification failed" Now all I did was throw the whole zip file on the SD card. Not sure if I have to extract it or what. If you can shed some light on how to do this I'd be a happy camper. All I can find is a JB 4.1.1 flashable zip.. I know i'm 4.3...Will this one work?
No. Do not flash older firmware over 4.3. It'll brick. Older roms are ok, but not the firmware. Can you link to what you are trying to flash? You said you were using an .md5 file earlier, but now you said you tried an .img and a .zip? I'm kinda confused as to exactly what you are trying to flash at this point. Zip files are for flashing in recovery. .tar.md5 files are for Odin. .img files are used differently.

Well Doc, I'm kinda confused as well, LOL... I was using odin files at first. not really knowing what i'm doing. I'm kind of starting to understand a few things like, .tar & .md5 files are used with Odin. I can't use odin because my usb on my S3 isn't working. So i'm trying to flash my firmware to either earlier(which I can't because i'm not rooted) or the same. In hopes to try to fix my usb port. My firmware is corrupted. So i've tried to put a stock 4.1.1 recovery zip on my sd card. But when I restart the s3 in recovery mode, and choose the zip file I get "E;signature verification failed" and it does nothing. I can't find a stock img zip file for i747M Rogers canada 4.3... I'm thinking i'm doomed here. What do you think??
So i have a samsung s9 SM-G960F/DS version. i had have run TWRP on it and magisk + exposed and it worked fine. i had to uninstall exposed to log into some apps and then i would reinstall it agian. but when i ran the exposed unintaller the phone would not boot. i tryed diffrent things and it would not boot unless it had the exposed intalled on it. i did a complete wipe of the phone with TWRP and now i can´t install stock rom. i downloaded the latest stock ROM for my model and the latest odin that can handle the lz4 compression. bur when i but in BL AP CP CSC it just get stuck on system.img all the time. i there is simply nothing i have not tryed. and nothing works for me. The only think working is if i flash the TWRP then i can boot into recovery TWRP. thats it. i am at a point where i will pay anyone who can help me figure this out cause i almost lost all hope for this to work agian. So i really really hope someone here have an ide to what could work for me. every tip and trick i will test and if someone offer help via discord or somthing i would also be glad to hear from you.
Hi
Extract and flash bootload.img or hidden.img file from the main stock rom.
I'll check the actual file name for you when I get home later. Did experience that problem sometime back on my s6 edge.
Usually there is a small error message on the screen of the s9 if odin fails or stalls. It's small blue text, I have a feeling it's either 'magic string error' or 'SYSTEM not [Sec]' or close to it. I find this happens when flashing the wrong firmware for that model. Example, flashing G960N firmware for a G960F.
I just did a reflash and here are my exact steps for my G960F.
1. Download Odin 3.13.1
2. Make sure Samsung Drivers are installed
3. Grab the latest firmware for your device, my device is a G960F so I just picked the latest BRJ3 firmware with November patch from Updato. Just get the firmware for your exact model.
4. Extract the files from the ZIP file
5. Add all the correct BL, AP, CP and CSC files to odin.
6. Select nand erase
7. Boot S9 into download mode
8. Flash to phone.
Don't try to flash TWRP before installing the full firmwares and until the phone is setup.
If all fails, and because you seem to be able to install TWRP, then you can download TGP Kernel ROM and flash that. It is based on stock G960F firmware, has a nice aroma installer for selecting various things and tweaks. It also provides a clean install of Magisk if that's something you like.
Also be sure to flash no-DM Verify.
Make sure you're not trying to downgrade the bootloader, I'm sick of writing out the same guide each time and I just did it earlier today so shouldn't be hard to find

You should look for samfirm or frija tool . Those would help you get latest firmware for your phone. Download it , flash it with odin and everything should be fine. Just remember that its possible that as you would be on latest firmware, you might not be able to downgrade in future.
I have my T-Mobile S4 that I think is useless, however I would like to flash LineageOS to the device. When I turn on the device, it says that the Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. When I load up kies on my PC it doesn't detect my device. When going into boot mode it just says Downloading. Is there any way to fix my device?

If the phone was running the latest stock ROM, you could use Odin to flash TWRP and a custom ROM.

The latest T-Mobile firmware can be downloaded from here: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s4/firmware/#SGH-M919
After downloading, unzip the file once using a unzip program such as 7zip.
You will need a Windows PC and Odin: https://odindownloader.com/download/odin3-v3-07
Instructions: https://odindownloader.com/tutorials/use-odin-downloader
It's been a very long time since I have flashed a Samsung s4. There's always a risk that something goes wrong. Best advice: be prepared to try again with different methods if the instructions don't work for your phone.
