i was on the Liquidsmooth rom, i wanted to go to FireKat.
i tried to go back to stock using Odin, using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/development/guide-odin-to-stock-unrooted-firmware-t2957156 and in the middle of Odin doing its thing it failed.
now im stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an Issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
so i downloaded Kies, and my phone isnt recognized.
what can i do so that i can at least get the phone working again?
Several options - first why did you not flash over recovery?
Second boot into recovery and reset.
Third if you can't get into recovery flash a custom recovery such as twrp and flash a new rom.
Hope this helps

the instructions on the first page of the FireKat rom say to "1. Odin Flash Stock ANK4" so flashing via recovery is not a option.
i no longer have a recovery, during the Odin flash back to stock it failed and deleted my recovery. only thing i could boot into is DL mode.
i ended up having the wrong verison of Kies, had to use a older version. the phone was recognized and i "unbricked" the phone.
Meaning install a custom recovery and a different rom and you should be fine

The first step is just to make sure u r on the most current bootloader.
Can you boot the phone into download mode? If so you can flash recovery and a new ROM.

You should be using keis 3 anything else will fail. If you have download mode Odin back to stock with factory firmware. Tekhd has a step by step on how to root. Download firmware from sammobile and ur back to business. Pick your ROM careful.

Happened to me once, seems dumb enough, but change USB cable when flashing stock with odin. If you have access to download mode, you have not perma-bricked your device. Might help. Might not

My SGS does not boot and does not enter recovery mode. I can enter download mode though. I suspect it happened after I removed some files from SD card.
Can I access SD card in download mode?
How can I use download mode to restore firmware and the recovery?
Thanks in advance.
u have to reflash your firmware. if u get only downloadmode working u can only reflash your device.
try a custom kernel first. if this wont work, then flash new firmware
Strange.from download mode you can only flash firmware.I think u can use adb and connect your phone to computer.try little search on topics don't rush first read carefully.
[email protected]
@malcho
adb wont work in download mode. only in cwm and after successful boot
So I understand I need to connect to PC in download mode and then use some software like ODIN to flash a ROM? Correct?
thats right.
may u can flash via kies, if u want a stock rom from samsung
I didn't know that info about adb.Thanks for info
[email protected]
Well, it's strange but looks better. Even before I did anything with ODIN the phone booted into the new ROM but I still cannot get into recovery. Seems like ROM installation procedure deleted something essential to run the recovery.
So now I have the download mode and Android working.
I am trying not to make any sudden moves so that I won't lose to ability to boot the ROM. What would be the best way to restore ClockworkMod recovery?
What ROM are you running now?
From a running stock-ROM the easiest way is to flash some custom kernel that includes CWM.
Here's a list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966646
For 2.2.1-based ROM I prefer Speedmod.
For 2.3.3-based, choose your own
edit: There are some ROMs/kernels that can only enter recovery when USB-debugging is on.

I've just switched from Darky's 9.2 to PilotX with 2.6.35.7-I9000X[email protected]#Beta4.2_1 kernel.
From what you are saying I understand CWM recovery needs Linux kernel to run. I thought it's a stand alone boot-loader independent from the OS and kernel.
I installed CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS which comes with CWM recovery via ODIN with no effect. I still cannot reach recovery mode.
My phone came with 3e recovery which I downgraded to 2e (I don't remember how I did it then). Is it possible it has something to do with the problem?
You should always flash to stock when you have an issue.
You can also use Darky's resurrection (at least, part A: Pit with re-partition)
Then flash the original firmware (from samfirmware.com)
Thanks to everyone.
The problem was solved using http://www.v00d00.co.il/GBFINAL.pdf guide. Note, this guide is only relevant for Hebrew PilotX ROM.
I belive I soft bricked my i9305 when I tried to install Chainfire3D. I get stuck on the samsung logo but I can still access recovery. I did a CWM backup in Rom manager before it soft bricked but I cant access the backup from the default Recovery and I never flashed into CWM Recovery. So I wonder if I can flash CWM recovery from default recovery so I can reach my backup. Factory reset did not help, still stuck on Samsung logo. I tried flashing 2 roms but I get a error message E:Failed to verify whoe-file signature, E: signature verification failed. I can also add that I did not use Odin to root my device, I used Framaroot. I have no idea what my region number is and such so I'm not sure I can flash the stock rom ether.
Any kind of help is appreciated.

You can not flash a custom rom or a custom recovery from the default recovery, use odin to flash clockworkmod recovery.

Ok but the problem is that I cannot enter download mode because I did not root with Odin. So I cannot connect my phone to odin yet. Any idea?

A good idea would be for you to read the basic faqs and guides first .
ODIN and Root have nothing at all to do with entering download mode .
No download mode means you require a service centre repair .

I can not enter adb shell ether because I never had the chance to enable usb debugging. Is service center really the only way? I can still install files from default recovery.
yes. sadly service center is the only option you have now

I finaly made it work, now I can acess odin and Download mode.
However I still dont know due to the fact that none of my roms I try to install with CWM Recovery works (error 7) I got a GT-I9305N so I'm still stuck, thinking about flashing the stock rom I downloaded from sammobile through odin although I'm not sure how.
Thanks so far guys.

Give me the link to the rom you want flash. The backup you have made not work?
I finaly got everything to work!
I flashed stock rom that I downloaded from sammobile through odin. I want to thank you guys so much for helping me out, it wasn't a easy road. Chainfire 3D ruined everything for me but I should have been more careful with installing that. Hopefully I can find something better to make the textures not all white in HD games but thats a different story.
Thanks again everyone!
I NEED HELP! Im a noob, i have a samsung S3 GT-i9305 ( GT-I9305GSMH) And i have soft bricked it by flashing a PDA that was meant for only i9300 - i then tried recovring it by doing alot of stuff but it wont work ... does anyone have any idea on how to fix this problem ? please .... btw i was using odin to root my phone but the cu*t fukced me over.... help anyone.. im stuck in downloading mode please do not remove target..
Hi all..
My friend encountered this issue recently..
where the phone cannot be started and the firmware error appears.
I've tried several attemps on recovering it back.
1. it cannot go into stock recovery mode
2. it can go into download mode
so i've tried to flash thru odin:
1) philztouch custom recovery
2) stock rom jelly bean from sammobile.com
both attemps failed.
so my next move is to connect thru kies.
it failed again as it does not detect the device to do the emergency phone recovery.
so now im in the idea of trying to flash custom recovery again and a custom rom. do not know whether it works or not, but ill try.
any other solutions/ideas?
Thanks.

i cannot remember but it seems that when it comes to the "KERNEL" status appears in the odin box, it took a while n then fails.
PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT9-ORA-5.08.5.tar.md5
this is what i used to flash the philztouch.
any ideas?

If you cannot get the rom to flash.... You have to go through the philz kernel using odin.. Try to flash philz kernel xxlta version again using odin. Make sure you remove the battery for a couple of seconds. Then boot into odin mode. Use main USB ports and genuine USB cable.
I was running stock rooted Lollipop ....Wanted to try out a new rom so when I tried to reboot to TWRP nothing happened...So I decided to just reflash TWRP via Odin and it failed...tried to reflash cf auto root via Odin and failed. I was able to flash the NK4 firmware via Odin. And same fail message came up for Cf Auto Root and TWRP...Went to check recovery and I'm back to stock. Tried doing a factory reset in stock recovery and failed...preload destination does not exist! Fudge bananas! So I flashed the firmware (OC6). It's working fine but I can not use Cf Auto root nor flash TWRP via Odin....Any ideas what's going on?

Perhaps you don't have the latest versions of cf-autroot. odin and twrp recovery.
The latest versions are twrp v2.8.6.0, odin v3.10.0 and cf-autoroot.
Both twrp and cf-autoroot are specifically for the N910T Tmobile Note 4.
Here is a direct download link to the latest versions:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/i25yjb1o97o96nb/CF-Autoroot & TWRP v2.8.6.0 and ODIN3 v3.10.0.zip?dl=0
p.s. Be sure to use the original Note 4 charging cable.
Good luck!

I'm using the same files as I did Monday when I initially went to Lollipop on Monday. I was on stock rooted Lollipop.
I can flash firmwares without errors, it's cf auto root and twrp that fail.

I just looked at your two screen shots and noticed that your activation
lock is ON, so go into settings>security and turn it OFF.
Then power off the phone and go into download
mode and start odin flashing cf-autoroot and twrp.
Good luck!
Your lock ? is defintley your issue. I still using twrp 2.8.4 with no issues and odin 3.9.

Home from work and I ran to my computer! That''s exactly what was wrong. I'm rooted again and flashed TWRP with no issues. Thanks again guys!
i am stuck in a bootloop, i cant even get to recovery. its been like this for weeks, i odin flashed stock firmware like 50 times. i have the stock firmware from sammobile, if you can help that will be great, i pretty sure i tired everything i know of. help would be nice.

Which version of the firmware did you odin flash? I have download links for
the baseband and bootloader but I do not want to post the wrong versions.
I am certain of one thing though, your problem is not related at all to the baseband or the bootloader.
If you have successfully odin flashed the proper version of the N910T firmware then you already have
the bootloader and baseband in your phone.
What you really need to do is to go into download mode and odin flash the proper version of twrp.
Then pull the battery and replace it, once it's replaced hold down the volume-up, home key and
the power button at the same time until you feel the phone vibrate, then let go of all the buttons
and the phone will go into twrp recovery.
Once you get there do a full wipe:
System,data, cache and dalvik cache and last but not least do a factory reset.
Once that's done let twrp reboot your phone and you should be good to go except
you will need to odin flash cf-autoroot if you want root access.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Quick question, what firmware version were you at before this started and have you tried installing an older or newer version like LP for example?. Also verify you are downloading the correct version for your model.
