Doesn't sound good. I'm not familiar enough with your phone to be much more help. Trying to find a pit file that'll help is very dicey. The only suggestion I have is make sure the stock rom is correct and check it's md5. Go to sammobile.com for the ROM and extract the .tar.md5 file out of the zip you download using 7 zip. Use that file in PDA in odin with only auto reboot checked.
Hopefully someone who is more familiar with your phone can step in. Good luck to you.

You're not hard bricked so that's the good news. Not sure where you got the stock rom but sammobile.com has skyways worked for me. Sometimes you have to keep trying to flash it in odin. I've had cases where it took a few tries. But make sure you flash on PDA with only auto reboot checked.

Apologies if this is in the wrong place.
I have been googling and reading for the past 2 hours trying to figure out how to fix this.
I have recovery v5.5.0.4.
I tried to flash the stock rom and it gives me error 7.
I then tried flashing a CM rom with the same error.
It apparently will not mount my external even when I select "mount external" so I have no access to my nandroid.
No ADB and no rom make for a very expensive paperweight
all help is VERY appreciated
Try mounting the internal? Also worst case scenario you can just Odin back to a stock rom too you know.
Good luck!

I can access the internal which is where my two roms are located, but neither work. Do you flash the rom with odin the same way you flash a kernal?
Yeah man you just download the tar file and flash that sucker in Odin, quick fix for anything bad.

I feel like an idiot for being able to fix it so easily like that... Thank you for your help though.
So I was doing the Odin flash part, and after it passed, my phone would of rebooted, but it just stayed on the samsung logo. So i restarted it, and its still happening. I can't go into recovery mode.
Yes it sounds like a soft brick. You can usually fix this problem with a USB jig.

Crap my friend doesnt have an SD card. he only has internal. How can he put a ROM in the phone?
Do you havea link to a thread? I can't find anything how to fix a soft brick.
Ima try this
Part 5: De-brick
1. First thing you should do is to try access CWM recovery (see above), then either restore a previous nandroid backup you made, flash a working rom that's on your sdcard, or put a working rom on your sdcard via your PC 's card reader and flash.
2. If you can't fix it via recovery, then put your phone into download mode. Flash a stock rom via Odin (see above)
3. If your Note won't turn on at all, you may be facing a hard brick.
4. You can also purchase a mini-usb jig which will put your phone into download mode even when above methods fail. I personally bought this one for $1.60 shipped. But basically any jig for the Galaxy phones should work.
That shouldn't matter, did you try going into download mode? If you can't then you need to by a jig, they aren't that expensive or you can make one yourself!

Then what you need to do is flash a stock ROM and try again but I recommend using a different kernel seeing as the first one didn't work.

Hey, Ultimate. I'm the friend that's in need. When I open Odin, do I keep the two ticked items the way they are? Or do I untick F. Reset Timer?
Keep them, just make sure re-partition isn't ticked and if it's only one file flash in the PDA section

OK that's a good sign, first time boots do take a while because cache and data need to be created so be patient, if it takes more than ten mins, go back into recovery wipe cache and dalvik cache and try again, if that doesn't work then also wipe data

Ok everything is working fine. I don't remember what I did, but do i download ROM Manager, then click Flash Clockworkmod Recovery and confirm? then go into recovery mode?
You must have been patient and see if you already have cwm installed if you do then no need but if you don't i suggest you find out other ways as ROM manager isn't very good I just helped someone out who was having cwm issues and they flashed it using rom manager but you can try if you wish

That is a little strange. Is your boot loader even unlocked since you're still on stock. If not you should be able to just use the supersu app to unroot

Being unlocked won't make it fail. Also to relock you will need to use Odin. Can you link the stock image you're using?
By the way don't forget to use triangle away to reset your flash counter before locking out back up.

Have a verizon s4 that was originally on mdk. I rooted, and have been using hyperdrive for some time. After many sudden random reboots, I decided to change to another rom, Gdux. When I lost wifi, it was recommended to flash a new kernel to restore this functionality. As soon as I did this, I got some screen that said return your phone to verizon, something about unauthorized software.
Searched and searched the net and found that I could odin back to stock again. I followed all instructions,but now phone won't boot past verizon splash screen, and it gets hot. REALLY hot while sitting there on verizon splash screen. I can't get to recovery, only download mode after I pull battery. Going to "lose" phone for warranty replacement if I can't get it to work. Please help!!!
Flash an MDK stock odin tar in download. You'll be good as new and be able to do what you want again

The phone boots to verizon splash screen and sits there, gets almost too hot to hold, and still nothing. I pulled battery after 30 minutes. Should I try to flash this and then another kernel tar?
Yeah
Make sure you're checking the .tar files MD5 for accuracy. Make sure it's compatible with your radio/baseband version as well.

I know that I originally started with MDK, there's no way to check anything now because it won't boot. I rooted the day I got the phone and haven't taken an OTA.
Still doesn't work, any other files I can try?

If you haven't taken any OTA's or flashed any radios, then you don't need to worry about that part.
Flashing the .tar file SHOULD have the kernel included... or at least I'm thinking it would. It should.
But after It flashes in Odin, let it sit for a good 20 minutes after it says success. Just so you can be assured that it had the time to flash successfully.

Is there a way to flash a twrp recovery through odin? I have several backups on my sd card, and I think there is one on there where I backed up everything when I first got it.
Yes.
Here's a link to some instructions and and a page that can send you to the TWRP Odin compatible file.
