Ok, so here is the deal.
I have the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 with U.S Cellular (SCH-R960) and I have run into some problems. What I did was try to root. Flashed CWM Recovery in Odin and when I tried to boot back up again, I was stuck in bootloop. So I tried to revert back to stock by flashing the stock firmware for my phone in Odin, the problem is, everytime I try and do that, I get this:

Also, on the phone screen it says

I can boot into recovery and also into download mode. Although if I try to just boot the phone normal it just stays on the Samsung Galaxy Mega logo screen. I have tried sideloading a .zip and that also fails.
Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Deleted cause by my noob. Sorry

Thought this was the Mega forum? And yes I know about knox I bricked an S3 because of it but I didn't think it was added until 4.3?
the firmware you are trying to flash (which is i9200) is not for your us cellular version of mega (which is r960).
find the correct one then proceed.

I'm not using it as a phone anymore, just kinda as a tablet. So does it matter that it isnt the r960 firmware?

Are you really cannot boot into download mode?..vol down+power button..try power on the device,remove the battery,put it back again,and quickly press the download mode combination keys (vol down+power button) see it boots to download mode or not..if its boot, grab your latest firmware and flash it via odin. About the kies,try to uninstall and download the latest version of kies solve it..
EDIT:I have search your firmware and don't find any link.you have to wait until the firmware for your specific model number released by Samsung.

Thats the problem the stock firmware doesnt exist for my phone or at least I cant find it.
well then, thats unfortunate. im sorry.
so its certain that theres no way for you to go back to stock.
edit:
actually, try to wipe data and cache in recovery then reboot.
if it still bootloops, then I recommend you patiently wait until the stock firmware for your phone is released.

Dear Friends
I HAVE MESS-UP WITH MY i9300!!!!
The incident is I was using custom rom, and installed some stupid app called "Adblock" or something,
and then, my phone just keep went-off for about 8-10 times a day. So then, I decided to reflash
custom rom by CWM, and after I pressed install in Aroma Installer, it just kick me out all of sudden, and
then, I couldn't get back to CWM anymore, so I decided to flash some stock rom by odin, but what
had happen was it starts until "Nand write start" and stacked for a while, and then just FAIL me.
On the net, I found that Checkrom Resurrection V4 could rescue softbrick i9300, I tried, but
no luck either. Finally, just now, I tried a 3 files stock rom with pit, and it came out as:

5. flash stock rom - 3 files firmware + pit - by Odin
6. changed usb port
7. changed PC
8. uninstall all applications relative to Kies
have you guys got any idea what can I do? I am thinking to mess-up the phone even badly (till it couldn't switch on), so that I can take it to Samsung Service Center for warranty replacement, but have you got ANY method I can do that to mess it up? Or anything I can over-come from the soft (or hard) brick. PLEASE Give me some help guys. I am very struggle.

i was using Omega since v.9 until v33.2 at the last minute. and I found a video in youtube to resurrect my s3 by flashing Checkrom v4:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNaQfdOi56E
tried it as well, but it seems doesn't work as it kept rebooting / hanging at the Galaxy S3 logo. And I tried to flashed some stock rom (combo file) from Samfirmware, no luck neither. Tried to flash some stock rom (3 files + pit) HK base rom. Same happened. Fail after Nand Write Start.:silly:
and now, couldn't get into CWM neither.

Ok so by daughter let her boyfriend try to root her phone well this guy messed her phone all up he flashed a sprint image onto a verizon phone.
So it's not fully bricked yet I was able to use this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207 and put verizon image back onto the phone after about 58 times I used Root66 stock VRALJB 4.1.1 12/2/12 it boots but it seems the radio is still messed up it has a big circle with a line threw it where the signal bar would be and there is no info Min,PRL,network. if I try and flash I605_VRALJB_Restore.tar.md5
if fails at radio if i try and flash sch-i605-16gb.pit it fails. If I try and do this it fails do to the pit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272066. and throws up a error about catch and dev catch. this is all new to me but with all the helpful post on xda it's gotten
me this far. so Is there any way to fix this phone or is it shot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35833930
There is a thread with all the vzw modems, but I can't find it right now . The third post in this thread has a section titled add ons and it has the most current vzw modem. Try flashing that in recovery and see if you get a signal
thanks that helped now to figure out how to fix the pit

In the first linked thread you posted, in section 1b use the Root66 and the pit file. That should work
And just a side note, only use files and info for the vzw sch-i605. Do not try anything from a different carrier's version of the note2. Nothing good will come of it

like Boosted was asking any hope for me or is this a waste of my time I'm a big noob with all this I know how to read and that's what has got me this far and the help of Boosted. but no matter what i do the pit fails and it fails at radio in the flash and at this moment it says baseband version unkown and still shows no network even after flashing the modem and it says it took it

I guess the better question is since it is your daughter's phone, you did get insurance on it, right? If so, get a hammer and beat the hell out of it to take out your frustration about the boyfriend. Then call verizon and say you need a new phone because your daughter says she "dropped her phone." Pay the deductible and call it done
Well that's why I'm here or i would have took a sledge hammer to it but I got the phone from a friend. so if i cant fix it I'm sol

Quite a few years ago I got a phone from a friend and I called and they let me add insurance to it. I broke it like 3 months later and got a replacement. It can't hurt to call and find out
ancDis and
ok will try that Monday
Ok called them they will not do anything not there phone so they will not cover it at all so guess it's trash unless someone has anymore ideas

ok thanks for all the help
Yep, he really fubar'd it. He must have flashed both Sprint rom + Sprint radio. People often flash roms built for other carriers with no issues, but if you flash a Sprint radio on a VZW phone, your odds of bricking increase exponentially. I would make the boyfriend buy a new phone and be done with it.

Hey guys, I need some help. I was switching roms and I guess i must have deleted my storage. So I had no rom to install and no backup. I tried to odin back to stock and it failed. Now my phone will only boot to odin mode but it says firmware upgrade encountered a problem. I searched and searched for answers and tried many things but no solutions seem to work. I have tried one click MJ4 full restore, and one click NAB full restore and neither work. they fail. So what can I try next? I have been working on this for hours and I have to go to work in 5 hours and need my phone. Please help.

What was on your phone prior to this happening?
We need the back story up to when you started flashing 2 separate operating systems onto your device (JellyBean, MJ4, TouchWiz KitKat, NAB).
You mention that you were switching roms...what rom were you on, and to what rom did you try to flash?

I was on this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567499 and was trying to switch to this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696396
However I never even started the write because I deleted everything on accident prior to trying to write the rom. I was S-OFF and rooted and I believe I was on 4.3.
Oh then the first thing I did was try to odin this file: N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar.md5
That failed, then I tried the 2 previously mentioned one click odin stocks.
Oh and I was on TWRP 2.6.1 but now I have no recovery.

The MJ4 tar would've worked had you flashed it (you were on MJ4, JellyBean, but on a prerooted rom).
Having failed at MJ4, going with the NAB and NC5 (both KitKat), may have sent your system into a nosedive of confusion.
Tell me if you can get into download mode at all home + power + volume down).
Your version of TWRP is old, but that has nothing to do with this. You need to put your phone back to stock, then upgrade if you want to flash a KitKat rom.
The MJ4 tar file will put stock everything back on your phone, even recovery, so your TWRP will be gone...but you can get it back.
Let me know if you can get into download mode, and we can take it from there.

I can get in to download mode, but it has a triangle with exclamation mak and it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. However the phone still comunicates with oden. The writting process starts but fails every time. I did the 1 click mj4 and it fails as well.
And I don't need to hold buttons to get to download, it's the only screen the phone goes to no matter what.

Please quote me when responding, if you don't mind. It let's me know that you've posted something.
As long as you can get into download mode, you can do something, hopefully.
A bricked device doesn't get into anything, won't even power into that screen. It's called brick for that reason.
What happens when you do volume up + power + home? Nothing, stock recovery, download mode, etc? Also, power down completely, and remove your SD card.
You can try...
1. Flashing the tar file via PC Odin in lieu of the one-click package (perhaps at this point not a possibility given that you've tried to flash the latest NC5 tar
2. Taking into Sprint where a root tolerant tech is available, and have them put the latest firmware on it for you, over-the-wire style (speak little, play clueless, Google around before going into the brick-and-mortar location
3. Flashing the NAB or NC5 tar, same way (you already have tried one or both of these I believe
Ultimately, option 2 may be your best hope.
Good luck!

remove battery from phone..... now with battery removed reinstall battery. boot to recovery by holding volume+ and power button simultaneously.
if you can access any type of stock recovery do a full wipe from it. not if you cant try rebooting computer . try usb in a different port. sometimes its something so simple. could even be a cord issue. do you have another cord to try? any micro usb will work.

I think either trying it from a Windows PC (shouldn't matter, but why not try) or carefully selecting a Sprint store (root friendly tech, knows what he or she is doing) for an over-the-wire update, are worth a shot.

It is a possibility that you had a bad download and also are you using the odin you from chain fire when you rooted? I had the same problem last month. I spent 5 hours trying to figure it out. Turns out I just had a bad download.

Overnight, I downloaded the SM-N900P NC5 Full Restore Unrooted (Compressed Archive).exe. This morning, I followed the instruction in that XDA post, plugged the phone, hit start, and crossed my fingers. Fifteen minutes of sweating later I had a factory stock phone again and I let out that big breath I was holding. Now, I am deciding if I want to root again and try another wifi hack.

Congratulations! Your Knox flag is still 0x1 though so you are not "factory stock". Once you root and/or install a custom recovery that flag is set and can't be reset, at least not on our phones yet.

Go into the Android Dev section for the Note 3. Freeza, Sac23, Joshbeach all have NC5 Roms that have the wifi hack built in. Also, Josh has a Mod section and has the hotspot hack itself.

But have to be on a deodexed ROM ... there is not one for odexed just stock ROM
Sent from my SM-N900P using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
I'll cut to the chase, I own a Verizon Samsung Galexy S4.
It's rooted, and I used Eclipse rom, but I wanted to update to Lollipop.
So I flashed the stock SCH-I545NC5 4.4.2 and everything was fine.
Now, I used software update and it would download, restart, and give me the "failed to download/update" etc. error ( I have figured out later that this was due to me still being rooted.)
Anyway, I then tried to use Kies3 and everything was going great.
It restarted annnnd boom, I get the firmware failed to update screen with the exclamation point telling me to use emergency repair. So I did. Aaand that fails every time too... so I did some searching and finally found the SCH-I545NC5 factory rom tar.md5 file for Odin.
I have all of the drivers and everything, and I have used Odin3 before to update this phone without trouble.
But now whenever I try to flash stock it gives me this:

To be honest I am not very familiar with Odin problems. I just suggested what I saw on other threads.
I also stumbled upon a similar error when I tried to flash a stock rom.
Well good news is it's working! I had been flashing NC5/NK1 thinking that's what I needed. Not the case! I tried flashing the latest GOC1 and it worked!!!!
I also uninstalled Kies3 and disables my antivirus, I think that played a large part in it.
Yes, Kies messes with Odin if they both run at the same time.
