It could be a bad tar file. I would download it again and reflash in Odin. Use the Full Wipe Method

Do you have a known good PIT file for your phone?
I wouldn't put anything into the PIT slot, flash just the .tar.md5 in the AP slot, and don't select "Re-partition".
Since it seems to be failing when trying to repartition, let's skip that (as above) and see if it's any better.

Well I'm out of ideas myself. Heimdall can be found here http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/
Some have had much better luck with it from what I've seen. I'm not an expert in Odin errors just was thinking of what I'd try. You can go between MK2 and MJ7 as well, may be worth trying MJ7 full wipe, just for the hell of it.
Hopefully that works or maybe someone else here will have another idea.

First, everyone: asking him to check the MD5 is a waste of time. It's a .tar.md5, and ODIN verifies the MD5 when it reads it. Since ODIN isn't finding a problem, it's OK. (There's no chance whatsoever that a file could be corrupt and still have a MD5 that verifies while still being a valid tar file.)
What I would do is to go read this thread for the MK2 files.
Given what you're seeing, try the emergency recovery. Download the .PIT file from there (remember me asking about that?) and use that when flashing the full-wipe file in ODIN.
This might sound crazy, but are you using the samsung OEM USB cable when your trying to odin? I had the note 2 before getting this phone and every time I used oden with a 3rd party USB cable, I always ran into problems. I always had to use the OEM cable. Also, if it's bootlooping or hanging at the boot screen, you should be able to get it working again. The only time you worry is if it doesn't do anything at all. When you said you can't get into safestrap, what about the stock recovery?

You may need to repartition. Not knowing the history of how your phone got to where it is now, I can't be sure. Can you give me a complete rundown of your issue?

How would I go about repartitioning the phone? I full wipe and flashed the new Shostock3 and it was doing fine. The next day when I woke up my phone had the sleep of death. The Galaxy S2 logo was stuck and I tried to get into recovery and it only showed half of the screen and was frozen. Now the screen says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
Go to the Download Repository. The link is in my sig.
First, try flashing full stock Gingerbread. Use the download under the heading I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries. This is the full distribution which contains the bootloaders. It doesn't matter whether you use the one-click downloader, or the tar.md5 file with Odin stand alone. If this flash completes, then you're recovered. Follow the guides to root and install a custom Gingerbread kernel, then flash back to SHOstock3 or whatever firmware you want.
If this flash does not complete, then download the I777 UCKH7 PIT and use that in Odin stand alone with the above tar.md5 file. Insert the tar in the PDA slot, the pit in the PIT slot, and check repartition, then flash.

If you didn't try it already, now go back and flash just the tar.md5 file without the pit, again, and see if it will complete.

Yes, I was hoping that the problem is not hardware, but it was a thought from the beginning, given the sequence of failure. Is the phone by chance still under warranty?
Let's don't give up yet, though.
Things to try, then try to flash the full firmware in between.
1. Use Odin stand alone to flash just the I777 secondary bootloader.
2. Use Odin stand alone to flash just the param.lfs.
Try the instructions in this post.

You can already get into download mode. I don't believe there is any difference in the download mode produced by a jig. A jig is really helpful if the wrong secondary bootloader was flashed by accident (or ignorance), and you can't get the phone into download mode any ohter way.

After installing TWRP restore via Goomanager (on the play store) I pressed reboot to restore. the phone rebooted to to download mode. I Pulled the battery for 40+ seconds, and pressed the power button, but whatever I do, the phone keeps booting into download mode.
Is it possible to factory reset my phone via Odin?
Phone:
Samsung galaxy S4 sch-I545
Thanks,
Bill The android
Yeah you can do that but dont try installing a recovery again. Im betting youre on me7, and currently its only rootable. No recovery.
When you said factory reset I thought you meant restore. But no, you cant reset via odin. You can turn your phone off and then use the key combo to boot into odin. Itll ask to confirm or deny booting and if you deny your phone will boot normally. Everytime you restart yoll have to do this so eventually youll have to restore through odin.

Did you try booting into recovery? If you get into recovery try rebooting back to system. Hopefully the phone will boot up normally. You could also do a factory reset if you do get into recovery.
I am having a similar issue -- I am stuck in download mode after attempting TWRP installation. Odin is not responding to my phone once plugged in (only says "connecting"). I am unable to enter recovery mode and am not sure what I should try next. Any suggestions?
This is a new S4 on verizon -- I545/ME7

You cant enter recovery because you overwrote the stock one and youre unable to flash/use a custom one because me7 blocked it. There might be a stock recovery posted on the forums but i havent seen one yet. I would try a different usb port, if youre using a pc a few people have had trouble with the front ports. If youre on win 7 try granting admin rights. Try a different pc. Try a different cable are some solutions.

I see -- I meant Kies was not connecting to the phone in my previous post (not odin). If I am unable to get it to respond, is the best way to restore to a stock phone using Odin?

I have never used kies so cant really say anything about that. But ya odin is best way to restore a phone to stock in my opinion. Like I said There might be an me7 stock recovery posted and that should fix your problem.

This is undoubtedly my solution as I did not do enough research before I tried to flash TWRP while running ME7.

If you upgraded to MJ7 that link will not help you. You need to Odin a MJ7 stock. I had to do it last night problem is you will lose root. You cant flash back to anything yet if you were on MJ7.

get out of downloading loop
I have read all the different ways to get out of a downloading loop with ME7 and none of them worked for me. however, i did find another way that did work.
if your phone boots to downloading every time you boot. I came up with this method. I can only attest that it worked for me.
1. At the downloading screen, plug your phone into your computer
2. Run Odin (I used Odin3 v3.09)
3. Uncheck auto reboot and F. Reset Time
4. Select PIT and load a .pit fil ( I used a file called "SCH-I545.pit" that I downloaded from these forums)
5. Click Start
It will fail and your Message box will look like this
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..
<ID:0/005> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/005> FAIL!
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Re-Partition operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
<ID:0/005> Removed!!
6. Now uplug your phone from the computer and reboot.
The only explanation I can come up with is that the partition file info gets corrupted or lost and doing this either rewrites the partition info file or tells the system where to look for it. I could be wrong but it is the only thing that works for me.
good luck!
THANX!!

If you bothered to read the thread that was just linked for you, you'd see that the OP of that thread was having the same issue with the same error. I already explained why this happens in that thread and how to solve it, flash the full-wipe MJ7 odin tar.

I did read the thread, and i tried it. And when I do that I get a fail flash write. I'm trying it on a different computer now, to see if I can get it to work.

Make sure you've uninstalled kies, then reinstall the latest Samsung usb drivers and use odin 3.07 running as admin. What was your exact failure message?

Thats not good news...first make sure the md5 of the odin tar is valid. If its not then from my experience that error message correlates with the emmc starting to go corrupt. If the md5 us not the issue then I would suggest you make yourself a debrick image immediately because the only remaining solution you have left to try is to rewrite the partition map using a pit, and flashing the bootchain along with the stock odin tar...if you dont find another solution then ill give you more indepth instructions and a link to the proper pit file. I do encourage you to seek other solutions though as I havent encountered this error in some time and someone may have found a solution im not aware of. Consider my suggestion a final resort.

I was flashing a rom onto my galaxy s4 and I've noticed that it couldn't receive OTA updates before but I never updated so it didn't affect me much until today when I tried flashing a rom and the code turned red and it says SW REV. Check FAIL: fused:5. Binary: 3, I also tried using odin downloader to flash VRAUME7 back onto it but said it encountered a error in line 27. After I tried using Kies downloader to update the software but it says firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in Kies but when I used recovery mode in keis it says it encountered a problem while updating, I'm out of ideas could someone please help

Fused 5 means you need to flash either mj7 or mk2 .
I'd do the full wipe at this point. If one doesn't work right at first... Try the other. Do you recall which your phone was on prior to this?

OK well if you can get back into download mode then flash the MDK tar . I'm not really sure if you were flashing a rom in Odin or a custom recovery but in any case if all else fails.... Odin mdk
Sent From My Verizon S4
With the new knox security trying to flash a prior firmware will trip the flag so it's advised to be careful when flashing images via Odin. Flash an earlier version that doesn't take and you'll lose the warranty on your phone.

I have to admit, I am really confused by your posts. I have no idea what you were, or are, trying to do. Are you SURE you were on MDK? If you weren't on MDK, you need to Odin back to the build you were on.

I know it... It we can know exactly where you were before. Like did you have this s4 since new when they shipped with mdk? Did u root it yourself then Loki? Install cwm or twrp? Things are kinda confusing. Just figured you were on mdk but I've seen stranger posts on here when in the end the op actually didn't have mdk or wasn't even on e Verizon s4.

The OP says that it said "Fused:5" means he is on MJ7 or MK2. It may have been on MDK and Loki'd at one point, but it's now MJ7/MK2 and needs to be recovered using one of those ROM images - NOT MDK.

No it was shipped with vruame7 and I was never able to update after I rooted so it's always been on vraume7 I used loki'd when I rooted. Ive tried using mj7 and mk2 and used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507253. when I ran it in odin it ran until it stopped at system.img.ext4 followed by complete(Write) operation failed and on the top left of my phone it says START [224,1440] and BAR [240,1440]

If it came with VRUAME7 then you didnt use the Loki method to root. If you want help you should post more logs/info. Like your last sentence "Ive tried using mj7 and mk2 as well but I can't find one that will work" can you elaborate on that? Saying you cant find one that works suggests you've found ones that dont work. But what does "don't work" consist of? It could be "write error", md5 mismatch, "PIT partition not found", "SW Rev check fail..", wrong file etc.
Check that the Odin tar file name says "VRUEMJ7" or "VRUEMK2" in it and ends in tar.md5 and make sure the md5 matches. If that fails then post back with logs/info that will actually assist us in helping you troubleshoot

No I converted my SD card to EXFAT and downloaded the root onto the rom so I was mistaken I didn't use loki sorry. I just ran this factory image which is for mj7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507253. I confirmed it was for mj7 after the MD5 file downloaded and ran it using odin, it went fine until it got to system.img.ext4 followed by complete(Write) operation failed and on the top left of my phone it says START [224,1440] and BAR [240,1440] in red and the flash failed.

So I followed the directions to flash the system.img.ext4 file and I already extracted it and am uploading it using heimdall. I have the pit file ready and I put the system.img.ext4 in under SYSTEM, added then removed it but it won't let me flash once it's removed and if I do flash with it on there it says ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12. I have deleted kies and reinstalled Samsung drivers, any ideas

Driver issue 99% of the time make sure you've uninstalled all Samsung drivers. Use windows' control panel option to uninstall programs and make sure all kies, samsung, and verizon related stuff is uninstalled. Then reboot the pc, let your phone install the drivers for your pc, and try using a different usb port with the stock oem cable. Also make sure adb isn't running in the background

I was able to downgrade from the NG6 update released a few days ago back to NC5.
Knox Warranty Void: 0x0
I used the info and tut from this post
I used the full wipe method, I'm unsure if the no wipe one works
Information:
1. ROOT METHOD can be found here
2. Otherwise, Download Odin 3.09 here (Note: Bootloader = BL , PDA = AP , Phone = CP)

MD5: 8a22dd4a47c2c5f890227fd952657d38
Directions:
No-Wipe
1. Unzip the file and you should have a tar.md5
2. Select the tar.md5 in Odin under PDA (or AP if using Odin 3.09) and keep Odin's default settings
3. Click start and wait for it to say Pass!
Full Wipe ( AKA Emeregency Repair)
1. Unzip the file and you should have a ALL_VZW_I545VRUFNC5_I545VZWFNC5_1151670_REV06_user _low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
2. Select the tar.md5 in Odin under PDA (or AP if using Odin 3.09) and keep Odin's default settings
3. Extract the PIT file from your phone or Odin tar, also I've uploaded it here just in case.
4. Put the PIT file in PIT and load the the Odin tar.md5 in PDA (or AP if using Odin 3.09) then click start.

Is there a way to do this with out using odin on a computer?

Damn. That probably was the thing that was killing me. After the first attempt, though, I could barely fight through the errors to a home screen, let alone change settings (delete corporate account to get rid of PIN, turn on dev mode, etc.). Ended up doing full wipe. Thanks for the thought. Lesson learned in case there's a next time.
Using Odin 3.09 for the no-wipe method, I load the NC5 .md5 file, and select it as instructed, but once I hit start, I get message stating "All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0) " instantaneously without anything actually happening. I have both developer mode and USB Debugging enabled.
Am I missing something?
Ignore all of that. I loaded the .md5 file up before the phone was connected in Download Mode. Re-loading it fixed everything.
I flashed NC5 over NG6. constant ERROR!! process.acore HELP
It flashed successfully via ODIN. MD5 checker matched. So no corrupt rom. After booting, i keep getting non-stop android.process.acore & android.process.media stopped working every 1 sec, and hitting ok keeps bringing it back and I cannot do anything !!! This is so frustrating. I specifically wanted no wipe. Please tell me i dont have to Full Wipe it. How did it work for you, tell me the step by step. My NG6 was rooted, should I have unrooted first. Tell me what to do!!!
I tried to do this method,but I have had no luck. My phone returned the error "fused 6 binary 5" - What is it that I'm missing?
i keep getting errors
Going to try it.
fyi, after error upon error I tried a different cable using a different USB port. Worked like a charm!
I did the no-wipe method and got the android.process.acore & android.process.media errors. I ended up doing a full wipe and it worked fine. Unfortunately my Titanium Backup I ran the night before didn't run quite right ><. Live, learn and check backups!

Was NG6 released with a new update from VZ, or was this ported from the S5?
