[Q] Galaxy S5 G900A Stuck In Downloading/Firmware Upgrade Mode - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

I have searched for about the past 3-4 hours which is a lot longer than it usually takes for me to get to the bottom of these dang things. My phone (Galaxy S5 G900A Lollipop 5.0) has been really screwy on the WiFi lately (home, out in public, family members homes) so I decided (after a factory reset, safe mode, etc failing) to go ahead and try to downgrade my phone. So I went online and found out you can do it with Odin (3.09, 3.10, 3.06) and attempted it. I downloaded a stock 4.4.4 firmware and went to work. Immediately it failed with the error I am still getting which is the following:

Example of the firmware update screen: Unable to post outside link, just google "firmware update encountered an issue galaxt s5" it's the first image.
Example of the download screen I use with Odin (as instructed): Unable to post outside link, just google "download mode glaaxy s5" it's the first image.
I have attempted using both the old and new version of Kies to perform the emergency and normal firmware update procedures. My phone does not show in the emergency firmware recovery screen and the firmware update mode ends in an error telling me to use the emergency firmware update, which as mentioned does not work.
With Odin I have attempted: Multiple computers, multiple USB ports on each computer, reinstalling Samsung drivers, restarting computer, multiple Odin versions, multiple firmware files (4.4.4, 4.4.2), running as administrator
Windows 8.1
Update on errors: My screen shows the following error on my phone in RED under "UDC Start" when Odin Fails:
SYS REV CHECK FAIL : Refer 2 > Binary 1
SECURE CHECK FAIL : system

You can't downgrade from 5.0. Flash 5.0 and you will be fine. If I'm not mistaken, the new bootloader is not backwards compatible and therefore won't let a downgrade happen.

Took to Best Buy, flashed and resolved in less than 10 minutes at Samsung center.

You won't be able to downgrade and that was your problem in the beginning

Same issue
I have having the same issue, I tried flashing Odin 4.4 back to the S5 once it has 5.0. It now errors out in Odin and in Kies, I really dont know what to do. Error: SW Rev Check Fail : Aboot Fused 3 > Binary

Gear Update Bricked

Hi Everyone, i have searched through the forums and tried what has been said, but still no luck. I have a galaxy Gear V700
I tried numerous times on kies to update and it just would not play ball at all.Even leaving it over night, thinking maybe it is downloading something.
Today i have used Odin today, and flashed with V700XXUCNF1_V700OXACNF1_BTU
Within Odin it does the following
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
then it freezes. Because it had froze for about 25 minutes, i unpluged the Gear, to try again. All of a sudden Odin jumped up and said failed, and the Gear now is stuck with "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
Problem is Kies 2 and 3 do not recognise the watch anymore. Odin seems to recognise it but wont allow me to do anything . I have tried using Odin to flash an original stock image, and have even tried the earlier Tizan.
I am still stuck...
I am a complete newbie on here and do not really know much about the phones and watches, but got so frustrated at not being able to upgrade the traditional way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Many thanks
I am now getting this in Odin 3.09, so it seems to be going a little further, but still fails at the end

You have to update to Tizen version NE9 first through ODIN 3.09, then update to NF1. Do not skip this step.
It has already been talked about here:

Sorry being a pain in the backside, but where do i get the NE9 as all the update files i have downloaded none have NE9 or the NF1 in there names... How do i know which is the right one..
Thanks
Go here to get the NE9 for your region.

Many thanks
That has fixed it..... SO basically what i was doing i think, was flashing it with an update to Tizan, not the update from android to Tizan. DOH
Thanks to all that helped

Since you did OTA updates, your bootloader has been updated and you can NOT revert back to older version. You basically need to reflash 5.1.1 firmware and stay there. Try to restore using Kies application.

Again tried Kies, Kies 3, and the new smart swap, nothing allows me to complete this they all say no repair option available when tools and emergency recovery is selected. Tried initialization and it tried v 4.4.2 which crashes.
HELP!!
You should be able to use ODIN and the link to the 5.1.1 firmware in the top of this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-update-to-g900aoi5-5-1-unrooted-t3235774
Did you figure out what to do? I'm in the same boat. My phone boots to "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue". Kies does not find the phone. I was on OF3 trying to downgrade to stock ROM. Link posted above does not have ODIN flashable files except for bootloader it seems.
Found out how to go back to working phone by flashing file at the end of first post here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-unbrick-flash-to-stocknce-g900a-t3077652)
Mine still is bricked did anyone have a fix?
This is the OI5 files. Try and see if these work in Odin.

Only able to go to Download mode and Android Recovery

Ok guys, so I flashed 5.1.1 on my phone but I lost root. So I decided to root using the Skipsoft Toolkit. I think it tried to install a bootloader (pretty sure it did). Before this I tried to use the chainfire root but didnt work. ok So then the phone started boot-looping and I decided to flash 4.4.4 back on. But now Odin keeps giving me this error

On the phone side the error I'm getting is this:
Code:
UDC START
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [ABOOT]Fused 2 > Binary 1
[1] eMMC write fail: ABOOT
Idk what to do at this point. I'm assuming I have to flash the boot-loader right?
If I could get some advice, so I don't brick my phone further.
Please please please, help! v__v
If you mean latest 5.1.1 you most likely have updated Samsung kernel security that won't let you downgrade bootloader, you need to flash current stock firmware to recover your device.

I tried flashing 5.1.1 But to no avail. Anything else I could do?
I had a similar problem with my note 3. What in did was I backed up my sd card and wiped it, redownloaded stock bootloader and firmwares, and used a different usb cable and port . Then odin worked like charm
My friend ended up putting 4.4.4 on it somehow. Maybe it was just an issue with my computer? Thank you guys for your suggestions btw. I tried all of them.

Do you happen to have the link to the 4.4 build? I'm trying to downgrade from 5.1.1 as well

Unable to flash rom after failed update on Kies

Hey guys I am was going from rooted 4.4 to 5.1.1 and running the dynamic kat rom...I downgraded to stock 4.4 and attempted to update through Kies...well the update hung at 87% for a long time and eventually failed, I got the "system encounted a firmware issue " error and was unable to restart...Kies will not recognize my note no matter how many times I flash the drivers and Odin always fails no matter the version I try to flash...Even SmartSwitch says "device failed to recognize", and I cannot flash twrp either (I even tried flashing PIT files which failed as well) (I still get a "comm4" connection in odin)

Had a similar issue too. Do an emergency recovery from kies. it will download latest stock firmware restore.
Kies cannot see my phone and I get odin error ; SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused2 > Binary 1 [1] eMMC write fail : ABO when I try to flash ANY rom

Have you tried a full internal wipe from recovery?
maybe retry 4.4.4 through ODIN and then moving forward?
up to date on modem/bootloader?
also, sometimes flashing in ODIN just fails for no apparent reason. when it does, you must unplug the phone, reboot the phone and enter bootloader mode again every time.

Hello,
I faced this problem last night when trying to flash an official S3 rom via Odin, I used Samsmobile to download the firmware. I kept getting the same error as you with the dreadful red 'FAIL' notification. However, I managed to overcome this issue by using Odin v 3.10 with the right firmware (stupidly, I had downloaded the firmware for the wrong variant, the i8190 as opposed to the i8190n). Furthermore, I also flashed the appropriate PIT file to my device along with the firmware (the only reason I did this was because it was mentioned as a possible solution in many threads). Also, I made sure there was no trace of Kies on my computer before connecting my device and flashing.

Hi there, If you don't mind can you please send me links to the files you used (the firmware and the PIT file)?

That's where I downloaded the firmware, the first one (I8190NXXAMB1). Note that it's for the N variant in my country (UK) and my network provider (EE), I downloaded the PIT file off XDA on a thread I found, I cannot for the life of me remember where it is now. However, it's on my computer at home, so if possible, I'll upload it to this thread when I get back. Keep me updated on how you get on pal.
