Hello,
i have a galaxy mega I9205 LTE, three weeks ago i have flashed the original 4.4 KK update from samfirmware, and from that moment i have no more boot logo (the one with the "Galaxy mega" words), and download mode screen. I have done a full wipe (clean cache, wipe data, and kalvin wipe) from CMW and original recovery, tried with CM11 rom, and other 4.4 roms (can't downgrade to 4.2.2 ), nothing, my boot logo don't come out.
I think the fault is the bootloader, but i don't know if it can be restore or something like that.
How can i fix the problem?

Tried another time, wipes on cwm recovery, flash with odin 3.09, no logos. Damn
UP
Did you flash the i9200 KK ROM or the i9205 LTE ROM for the phone?

Obivously 9205 lte like my phone.
UP! :angel:
Same problem : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-mega/help/enter-odin-download-mode-stock-4-4-2-t2811866
Cmon! Up!
try to use a different odin version, like 1.85.
and/or try another firmware.
i know there are at least 2 versions out there on sammobile, ne4 and nf2.
Flashing I9200XXUDNF3 from sammobile with odin 3.09 didnt slove the problem. Should i try with odin 3.04?? (My phone is GT-I9200)
Yeah. I tried to update to Kitkat and have flashed with almost every version of odin and the results were all the same.
However, I didn't encounter problems like you did.
Only the system (rom), recovery, boot (kernel) were flashed, and the modem (radio) and bootloader weren't registered into the phone.
And since my bootloader was still the old one (Knox-free), I was able to downgrade and did OTA update.
So now, for your situation, I can only think of trying to update with Kies.
DO NOT AND NEVER try what I did since you don't have download mode to confirm whether you have the new Knox bootloader, so you might end up BRICKED.
Again. Try to update with Kies. DO NOT downgrade by odin flash old firmwares (4.2.2).
And if Kies works out for you, let the other member (who's having same problem) know.

:good:
This is the #1 thing I am seeing members doing, attempting to downgrade from KK 4.4.2 Kitkat. It's becoming a trend so to speak. Although I will say it is sometimes a hardware error/issue, not many are reading before installing/attempting to downgrade.......
To the others.......
Once there, there is no going back. Yes you can flash Custom Roms all you want as long as you do not attempt to successfully downgrade the KitKat Knox Bootloader and pass. The OTA even tells you so and this is on any Galaxy phone you buy, not just the Mega.
If you can get into Recovery, then recover one of your backups, only if you didn't update to the Official KitKat 4.4 with the Updated Knox Bootloader either thru OTA or Odin
If you can still get into download mode then you are somewhat okay and there is still some hope. You can try flashing the Official Firmware to recover. Only flash ( pre KitKat 4.4 ) Official Firmwares thru Odin if you didn't already update to the Official KitKat 4.4 with the Updated Knox Bootloader either thru OTA or Odin.
If you can not get into Download Mode and the phone does not boot up or plugging in the phone to the computer with no battery installed you get the qhsusb_dload mode, then the possibility that you are likely bricked is good.
From here you either send it for JTag or see if someone with the same Phone and Carrier can make you a debrick image for you to burn to a memory card so your phone can be able to boot off it into Download Mode and Odin the Official Firmware. You will need to search for this method.

Tried to use odin 3.09, update bootloader, with new Italian firmware, nothing.
Restore the phone through Kies: nothing.
Galaxy MEGA and Download Mode screen don't appear.
What can i do?
Hello guys i got same problem like you after OTA updade to kitkat,
Now i using spirit ron by silesh, what i did is just flash cutom recovery with odin like a blind man!
Just verify you enter download mode.
Turn off your phon( after phone vibrate)
Press vol down+home+power, hold together until phone vibrate and wait about 2sec and then release all button
To verify you enter download mode, please wait about 3minutes if phone not boot to os, you are just one step to download mode, just press and relese volume up to enter download mode
Then connect your phone to pc with odin run in administrator privileges, if odin detect your phone youre ready for rumble LOL

Hi there!
I might need some help. After it froze 3 times because of instagram, i pulled libsurfaceflinger.so from system/lib because that caused problems to instagram. (it was used for crt off btw)
So after that, i restarted the phone, but it won't go past the S2 screen, not even boot animation. However booting to download mode or recovery works. I can't wipe because of the LQ5. I tried to reflash the bootloader, but can't seem to help.
Any idea? i don't really wan't to do a reflash with 3 a files firmware, that's just the worst case scenario...
thx

Flash a stock rom in Odin. Single file packages available here or with the PC version of Checkfus - search for it on here/Google; this will enable you to download the latest firmware for your phone model/country/carrier (there are also unbranded firmwares) that you'd normally get via OTA update.
I don't see how you have any other choice.

LQ5 has the brickbug... so I don't know if it's safe to flash a single file firmware over it... because if you wipe LQ5, it might brick the phone...
flashed single file LPO over it, and it seems to have solved the problem, the phone booted up
hey guys, I was running my S3 on the paranoid android(2.99) just fine but then I tried to flash 2.54 over my 2.99 install through TWRP. It flashed fine but then it was stuck on the PA bootscreen so then I tried restoring a backup through TWRP but it said no backups found even though I made 3, i later realised they were in a different folder and I couldn't get them.
Anway, desperate to get a working phone, I downloaded the I9300XXELLA firmware and flashed it via ODIN, it failed so I disconnected my phone and now it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, select recovery mode through kies". I cannot go into recovery or download mode.
Is there anyway to get my phone to work or have I successfully created a paperweight?
The phone was bought from India. If I need to provide any information, let me know, I'd love having my phone back.
First step is to source a USB recovery Jig to get to download mode .
That fails its a service centre .

Hello, I wanted to add my previous Issue I had before running into this problem.
I currently need to fix a issue ASAP as I am selling my s3 soon. I tried to unroot my s3 and reset it to factory settings but flashed the Verizon firmware on my phone and not the international version firmware. The flash failed in Odin and now I am stuck at a screen saying the Firmware upgrade encountered an error. Please try again. I tried to go into download and recovery mode multiple times and cannot do so. I assume is bricked or soft bricked? Can I use a usb jig to get into download mode?
Click to expand...

After purchasing a USB JIG, I can now get into Download mode, but the issue is every time I try to install a stock firmware, I am stuck in Recovery mode. The binary count on the phone says "18", but I am not sure if that has anything to do with it. Please help, thank you. My phone is the I9300.
So the stock ROM installs without errors?
Have you done a factory reset from recovery afterwards?
This should be fixable unless the firmware you flashed also included a bootloader

No, the stock ROM cannot install, every time I try to install the ROM, it gets stuck in Odin says "Recovery". I cannot get into the phone because it will still show the firmware error if I unplug the usb jig from the usb download mode.
Have you tried Kies if you want to return to stock, start Kies and go to Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Installation
Follow the instructions on the screen, this is supposed to completely reset the phone and install the latest firmware version for that phone

are you sure your new rom bootloader is higher than the old one?
Is your model no. correct?
i think you flashed wrong rom.
Find the correct rom for your device (if you don't remeber Old Build no., just find the latest rom)
flash to your device . (if it is Ok, you can go to recovery mode.)
In recovery mode , wipe & reset your cache, data.
Agree. Reflash the correct official ROM that includes the boot loader . .. If you can. My experience with latest official ROM has a Blind Download Mode (black screen) on the GT-i9200. Might be the same on the i9205.

So as the last resort go to download mode and reflash stock ROM. Be sure you flash your actual version of Android because you can not downgrade once you upgrade to 4.4.

Let's try, it costs nothing. The differences between regional versions of firmware are mainly in radio part - after flashing firmware from very different region unit should stand up normally, only then could be problem with data exchange or making calls. The rest should be normal.
It is hard to determine which version of firmware you have actually on your unit. Problem lays in bootloader - with upgrade to 4.4 the bootloader is changing to new one and there is no way back. So if you try to flash 4.2 after upgrade to 4.4 you can soft brick your phone.
IMHO safest way for you is to find and flash newest 4.4 firmware for your region. If there will be problems after flashing try to make factory reset from recovery. Best luck.

I've same issue with Galaxy MEGA Plus GT-I9152P. Please advice !
I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, installed TWRP & tried to install SuperSU 2.79 and it got stuck on creating image, so I rebooted my phone and it didn't boot.
At this point i could only access TWRP and Donwload mode, I got worried and decided to flash stock recovery via ODIN but I think i forgot to uncheck auto-reboot box (Don't know if this step could cause the problem but I think they are related), and I know it's trying to open recovery mode because when I flash TWRP again, some red letters appear on the top-left corner of the screen, same as when I opened TWRP custom recovery, so at the moment I can only open Download mode.
The things I've tried:
ADB reboot recovery: It won't recognise the device anymore
Flash Stock Firmware/Recovery: After sboot.bin it fails (I have the Firmware for my specific model and region)
Also, I'm new to the forums stuff so forgive me if I do something wrong
I hope someone could help me,as I've searched all over the internet and found close to nothing about this thread

Flash stock firmware it will work.
The reason it fails at sboot.bin is because your flashing a firmware with an older bootloader than you currently have.
Flash a newer/newest firmware and it will work.

When I last checked my Android versión was 7.0 and I think that was the last update the galaxy s6 had, but if you can tell me where can I get a newer firmware that would be great, also thanks for the help you have given me until now.
