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?

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.

UP.
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

Just received a phone (Samsung note 3) everything works (sound, led, touchscreen etc..) except the screen is not powering on. (No samsung boot logo)
what is the best thing i can do, trying to recovery by Kies or Odin?
Hi. Basically I tried updating my bootloader and modem for my Galaxy S6 Edge so I could install a custom 5.1.1 Touchwiz ROM and after flashing them I've got the following error "System rev. Check fail. Device:2, Binary:1" I've looked into it and everybody says to try the 5.1.1 stock firmware but i've just realised that EE haven't even rolled out their carrier specific version of 5.1.1 yet and with it being an EE phone what are my options? Please I am desperate for some help!
I experienced the same problem with my international version. Needless to say I had to download Samsung kies on my desktop PC and go to tools and update firmware. Im stuck on 5.1.1 because you can't downgrade after that but at least I'm out of that error and my phone works.

try to make the same again with wipe.. go Odin options.. also look that you don't have reactivation lock go Samsung account
Fail with wipe... and the rom i´m trying to flash, sometimes fails in the middle, and sometimes pass... when the phone start, after the fist samsung logo appear, this light blue screen and android start to install, and in the middle stops and appear in the screen " erasing " and after the phone reboot.
I´m thinking i´ll have to wait for the exact firmware for my G925I ZTO, no other is passing.. any ideas?

Man, I just got fixed my G925I, I delete the files (hidden img, cm.bin and sboot.bin) from the firmware from UK and flash.
You can use the Total Commander for that, it´s pretty easy.
I flash 2 times to work... The phone reboot 3 times and than works perfectly.
If fails in Odin, reconnect the cable and try again. It will work.
My model is SM-G925I
I was on 5.0.2, then I update to 5.1.1 via Smart Switch.
After update stuck on samsung logo.
I've never rooted or flashed anything custom before, in download screen Knox still 0x0
Tried wipe data, flash 5.1.1 stock rom via odin 3.10.6 but no luck.
Anyone can help me ? thank you so much.
Stuck for how long? Does it reboot after sometime? If not, wait. First boot after update takes more time. If it doesn't boot at all, try flashing stock via odin.

Hello friends, there is still no fix for this problem after 5.1.1 ?
Hi
I have a Samsung Galaxy Edge SM-G950F, sim free, running 5.1.1
I decided to root using Odin
Ive used Odin many times to root several Samsung devices before so now how to use.
This time though i had issues, I used Odin 3.10 for the first time, normally use 3.09, and the AP was CF-Auto-Root-zerolte-zeroltexx-smg925f.tar
Every was fine until phone rebooted, Odin said success, but phone got stuck in boot. Couldnt go into recovery, only download mode.
After trying to flash in firmware again, no success, finally managed to get Smart Switch to reinstall firmware and reset device. Phew.
Now my questions are, was the problem Odin 3.10? Was Auto-Root wrong? Is it me?
Im obviously reluctant to try rooting again, is Odin 3.09 a more stable version and will work or whats the best way to root.
Thanks for any help
i'm not sure but i remember that cf auto root i'snt for 5.1.1, but only for 5.0.2
You Flash twrp recovery and root the device

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.
