Either download Samsung KIES to your PC and install it (Samsung Kies 3 if you were using 4.3)
Then plug your phone to your PC
Either wait for KIES to do the emergency firmware recovery for you or find the emergency firmware recovery option and click it by yourself
Then you'll have a stock firmware
The warranty flag should be still there even you have new stock and official firmware
Second method:
Flash your firmware via Odin
You said you could enter Download mode
So flash it via Odin
Use CF-Auto Root if you want to root your phone when you fixed it
Good luck!

G800F: FAILED ODIN Firmware Upgrade. All Fail.

So I wanted to upgrade my firmware to the latest build, and having vast experience doing so, I downloaded from Sammobile.com the latest firmware build for my G800F and Odin showed "FAILED" with no error reported on the steps screen. Tried again, FAIL, swapped cables, FAIL.
I tried loading other firmwares...and nothing. The Download mode screen reads:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G800F
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUN OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
Secure Download: Enabled
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1
AP SWREV: A1
ASV GROUP: 7
Any ideas or suggestions?

Try the Odin version contained in CF-Auto-Root
https://download.chainfire.eu/523/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-kminilte-kminiltexx-smg800f.zip
Have no problem with G800F and this latest 4.4.2 (15 May 2015) G800FXXU1AOE3_G800FDBT1AOC1_G800FXXU1AOE3_HOME.tar
Use Odin with admin rights,
don't know if necessary, but clear your internal storage and wipe everything before flash with TWRP:

Had the same on G800H while flashed latest Stock ROM published on sammobile.. finally the following steps a working (in my case)
flashing the stock firmware through Odin (ignore failed message)
take off the battery and put it back in
boot into Download mode.
flashing the twrp recovery
Reboot normal
The rom is now updated and had no problems with it (flashed it on this way 2 weeks ago)

+1 Worked like a Charm thanks "mind"
But now I have a new issue....I'm getting "Warning. Camera Failed".... this is like...a nightmare....damn.

Hello this method worked for me. Thank you. May I ask what version of TWRP this file https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952600970 is?
I am confused as after putting this via ODIN I still have stock android recovery when pressing VOL+ & HOME & POWER
best regards

Ive tried getting the pit file and the original ROM.
I'm just stuck, and have no idea what to do next.
Can anyone help me or should i just give my cat this phone.
Thank you.

Same here. Did you figure it out?

I'm guessing that a modified PIT file would be needed to avoid the "bad or defective" storage areas via custom partition sizes

I've searched for the pit file. found one, tried it. But it didn't work.

Using a stock / official PIT file will only result in the exact same issue, hence you would have to get one that has been modified.
I'm thinking bag on the days where there was a similar bug with some of the international Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 units with a similar defect.

For "Normal boot" you need stock unmodified firmware.
Pp.

Any luck here? I have the exact same issue now... can't flash anything in ODIN either. Does anyone in this thread have a PIT file that worked?

Mine would only boot to the downloader. same initial error message. I used odin to flash a new bootloader and radio from here and it seems to be booting up for the first time in about a day :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/development/mirror-stock-tw-t3260858
If this doesn't work I'll try the entire stock firmware.

Download n910t pit file and flash the pit file with the firmware. Make sure repartiton is checked. And let it reboot without pulling the the usb out.. the first thing it always does after odin to stock is reboot to recovery....are you getting any errors when you try to flash the firmware? Download this firmware. It is untouched full stock wipes everything

I'm having the same problem. I'm not getting any errors, and I found and flashed the PIT file with the stock firmware. Still no boot. It just sits on the boot up screen. No recovery, no battery icon...no nothing.

Soft Bricked - Odin Flash Read Failure / eMMC Write Fail etc

Attempting to restore my Note 4 to stock by flashing with Odin. Never installed a custom OS on this, I may have rooted it long ago but can't recall. Always been stock essentially.
using Odin v3.12
flashing
N910TUVU2EPJ2_N910TTMB2EPJ2_N910TUVU2EPJ2_HOME.tar.md5
also tried the version broken into 4 parts, in various orders & configurations.

Hey, thanks for the response. I tried this and actually got the first successful flash all day. However, on reboot I sat at the Samsung splash screen and didn't pass that. Further attempts to flash using the same setup are all FAILing again now, too. Bummer..

Try different usb cable i had same issue few days ago and i figure out it was usb cable that cause this.
After flash firmware Must do wipe data factory reset and wipe cache from stock recovery otherwise it will stuck in bootloop at splash screen.
Make sure you are flashing correct firmware for your model.
If this didn't work then flash twrp in odin and flash from twrp any rom for your model but it will trip knox and void your warranty.
Hope that helps

Try Odin 3.09 and uncheck reboot option,
when then download is finished "Pass" disconnect and pull the battery out and go to recovery mode,
wipe partition, wipe Data then restart, you will be fine.

Hey thanks for this. Odin 3.09 seems to PASS flash every time, which is awesome.
On booting into recovery, however I drop into the Android robot animated system update screen. No option to factory reset.
I briefly get 'Installing Update' with a progress bar
then it goes to Erasing... for some time.
Then "Installing system update..." with no progress bar.
Finally, reboots and hangs at the Samsung splash screen after the blue LED lights
This thing has been 100% stock but I might try to flash TWRP or idunno what else to try. Found out it'll be $150-$175 deductible to get a replacement so I definitely have an interest in saving this thing.
edit: actually after a couple more tries I got this thing to actually boot. dropped into fresh Samsung setup routine. success!!.... sort of. crashed mid-setup and rebooted. which was the behaviour I was attempting to address by resetting this thing in the first place. ehhhh wonder if I don't actually have a bad emmc/flash memory/chipset whatever. will keep trying.
edit2: random crashing all the time. finally made it all the way through setup to the home screen, but don't think this is gonna get better. i could try to re-flash, or flash a custom recovery or a custom rom or idk? basically back at square 1.

i'm having essentially the same issue as you are, I think it may be time to move on for myself. I would like to get it to boot so I can "jump" to a different phone because I have $98 left to pay on her and that plus 175 for a refurb probably burned screen hardware is a kick to the pants. I can get recovery to work both stock recovery and twrp but nothing I flash will stick to the system partition it seems.
back to trying a little more then google pixel here I come if she won't come back from the dead...
