Hello!
I'm attempting to root my S4 and eventually flash it with a custom ROM. However, I'm having a lot of trouble getting it to root. I'm using an online guide which flashes another kernel (NC5) using Odin then roots using towelroot and finally flashing back to my original kernel (NK1). The problem is that when I originally try to flash the NC5 kernel using Odin, I get an error. I've tried looking online for a solution but have found nothing so hopefully someone on here can assist me.
I'm running 4.4.2 on a SCH-I545VRUFNK1 and using Odin v3.09 but have also tried v3.04 to no avail. I've taken the battery out and waited 10 minutes, but that didn't work. Here is the output from Odin:

Have you tried using a different USB cable? Sometimes I have had this happen, I switched cables and it worked fine after, but this may not be your specific issue.
---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------
Also, are you using the Kernel or full image? Look at file size as the Kernel is fairly small compared.
Yea, I did try that! I tried it with two different cables and two different USB ports but didn't change anything unfortunately.

I would say maybe try another PC if available.
What if there isn't another pc available?
What is the file size of the image you are trying to flash?
Flash a stock nc5 image, then use towelroot. Odin may not be liking the image... Also, sometimes the phone has to be flat. That helps me A LOT in my constant Odin Flashes.

Can't flash a stock image of NC5 as he is on NK1. He CAN flash the NC5 kernel, use towelroot to root, and then flash the NK1 kernel again.
I had this same problem. I am pretty sure I had the phone flat on my table instead of on my PC... That didn't help in your case... Use Odin 3.07
The file size is 8,691 KB. And this is exactly what I am trying to do! Flash the NK1 Kernel then use towel root then flash back to my original kernel of NC5. I'll try to use Odin 3.07 and let y'all know how it goes.
I apologize for the delayed response, it's the end of the school year and things are getting pretty hectic. Please be patient with me!

Just tried Odin 3.07 with no luck, my phone is flat and I tried two different USB ports with two different chords. What's my next option?

Its no problem man. I actually jump on XDA when I am at work, in between selling phones and monthly renewals. I recently had the same issue and changing my cable solved it for me.
Thanks for understanding! Yea I've tried two different cables as stated before but no luck. I'm starting to get the feeling this root isn't going to work -_-

What, if you don't mind my asking, do you use root for?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
Well recently my battery life has been atrocious to say the least so I was hoping on using a root to improve that further controlling the resources that some apps use even while not in use. For example facebook is constantly pulling a massive amount of resources which I believe is partially related to my bad battery life.
I also am a bit obsessed with my UI and love changing it around in order to get better funtionality as well as increasing it's visual appel. I feel that touchwiz is ugly and would like to flash something over it in order to get rid of it and allow further customization of my UI.
Have you tried unchecking Auto Reboot in Odin options?
Another way, I've got this rooting problem on my Samsung E5:

Luckily I found a thread in AndroidForums (I can't post the link here because of XDA's rules). Not totally the same but I think it could help. Belong to it, maybe your reactivation lock is on. Turn it off (Menu > Settings > General > Security > Reactivation lock, uncheck) and retry.
Thanks for the suggestion zhaona; unfortunately, it did not work. Does anyone else have some suggestions?

I tried using the Toolkit to root my SGS3, however, it didn't work.

I saw mskip suggest a Sprint flash, but I am not on sprint, so I don't know if this will work (It did work for the other guy, but as I said, I am not on sprint)
Does that Removed!! cause a big problem?

are you sure you phone is in download mode and not in recovery mode while flashing? I have seen0that many people make this simple mistake
If you are talking about Sprint:
what is your device hardware?
If it's not i9300 you're in the wrong forum
If it's not exactly the same as the one your toolkit is for, you just softbricked your phone

I thought all SGS3s are I9300, but if they are different, mine has SGH-I747M on it
Now seeing that, I probably am in the wrong place

Guys, first of all, if there's an answer for my q in previous posts I apologize and thank beforehand for the directions.
This is the deal, i flashed this rom in my gs3 intl version over mobile odin.
Everything went well, loaded fine and all, and the phone overall is working fine, the issue is, as i tried to inject root over odin on my pc, odin returned me the error "no pit partition" and failed.
Same thing happened as i tried to flash again my previous oficial rom.
Is there any solution for this? Can i get root? How do i go back to my ofw?
Thanks Thanks thanks and sorry again for my inexhaustible search.

Are you saying softbricked not booting or just that Kies no longer recognizes firmware due to conflicting firmware codes ??

Not booting, stuck at the "Firmware update has encountered an issue..." screen.
Can get into download mode only, not recovery. Cant flash cuz NAND write error fails on odin.
Thread reads as Nand damaged probably due to partition information table part of the nand faults .

As the title states, I am currently trying to flash my phone back to stock to fix a soft brick. I was trying to get the latest update since I was on a custom ROM and couldn't get the OTA. I got the firmware from Sammobile, from what I understand to be a reputable place to get them. The flash in Odin seemed to go normally until it had the phone restart, It is now is a loop of flashing the "Galaxy Note II" screen. And I had CWM installed, but I cannot get to the recovery with it in this loop.
Yes, I have read the sticky before posting this. I am doing the only recommended thing I can find to do for this sort problem, flash it back to stock. I have the stock firmware, directly from the link in the sticky, and when I go to start it on Odin this is what I get:

Is there something I'm missing/doing wrong? I have installed a few ROMs before, but I am fairly new to using Odin and flashing the firmware.
I would greatly appreciate any help with this
Thank you!
Hi,
Hope you used pit file in odin along with rom file. Also, do a factory reset after successful odin.

Yep, I believe that was the problem. I didn't know it needed the PIT for this.
The phone lives again, but it's strange. The flash was almost done, got to the sboot, and failed. My phone had "unsupported version" in red on the Odin screen. I rebooted the phone, it went to the android update screen, and now it is working like it did before all this.
Now the question is, why did the 4.3 firmware send it into a boot loop? Is the file on Sammobile the right one? Would it be better to just get my phone back to stock with a stock recovery, and get the update OTA?
It is possible that the usb port I used was bad, I seriously need to remember not to use the front ports for something like this...
I need to read up more on this so I don't screw it up next time.

It is important to note that if you take the OTA, it WILL relock your bootloader. This means no custom recovery and no custom ROMs.

Hey Skelie,
What version of the bootloader are you currently on? Once you have upgraded to NAB or newer, you are not able to flash back down below that.
If the only thing you're trying to do is return you phone with a fully Stock ROM, I'd recommend either flashing the NC5 all-in-one restore by rwiclo or the NH7 restore that was uploaded by micmars. Either one should work flawlessly in ODIN v3.7 and you can get your new Note 4!
I hope this helps!

Hello, I am trying to flash stock 7.0 to my Sprint Galaxy S7 Edge. On the screen on my phone on download mode it says that the phone is model SM-G935A, but on the back of the phone it says it is SM-G935P, kind of strange if you ask me. Well the reason I am here is because I keep getting flashing errors with odin. I usually get some kind of "Fail (Auth!)" error or something like that and then the phone usually displays out a fused binary error. I have looked everywhere to find a solution and have not yet found one. The last attempt that I made to flash my phone to stock 7.0, I have the log of activity from the attempt here:

I got the correct firmware for the device, as you can see it does not say "device model mismatch" or anything like that, but I can never get a clean flash, it always has some error that I cannot find the solution to.
So if anyone could help me that would be awesome! I am kind of new to android, and especially to Odin, and I would like to learn more so that I don't run into these issues in the future!
