PROBLEM SOLVED: Downloaded newer version of Firmware and that worked. I feel super super dumb for not thinking of that sooner. I was following an older guide to unroot/restore to stock and the newest available link was VREUMJ9 and apparently that was too old.
I'm trying to send my Galaxy Note 2 in for warranty. It had accepted 4.3 OTA but I had rooted it afterward. So I went to restore to stock and unroot so I could send it in. I had just recently done another Note 2 (My dads) back to stock without a hitch so I figured it would be no big deal. Except I forgot one minor detail that his phone didn't take 4.3 OTA and still had unlocked bootloader. So I opened up Odin 3.07 and put PIT file in PIT and VRAMC3 firmware in PDA and hit start and the flash failed. Took me a few seconds to realize that I flashed the wrong firmware and should've been VRUEMJ9. I was panicing and downloaded VRUEMJ9 and attempted to flash that and it wouldn't even start the flash just failed right away. Now ODIN isn't even recognizing the phone anymore. Am I totally screwed here? I've been googling furiously and it sounds like maybe cause I selected a .PIT file it may have hard bricked my device? I just instinctively did that because it was required to make it work correctly on the last phone I did just a few weeks ago.
I can still access download mode but ODIN doesn't show anything in COM window. Trying to boot phone normally shows "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use Software Repair Assistant & try again" I've tried repeatedly restarting phone and rebooting PC and reinstalling USB drivers. Is "Software Repair Assistant" something I should try? It sounds like Verizon's version of ODIN? http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-80201/
Any help GREATLY appreciated. I really really really don't have the money to pay full price for this bricked phone Assuming I can't get this fixed and I just send them the phone as-is what are the chances they even notice? Do they test them?
I managed to get ODIN to recognize the phone using a different computer. Upon attempting to flash VRUEMJ9 in PDA of ODIN this happens: http://imgur.com/2msfTEQ
Firmware update start..
sboot.bin
NAND write start!!
FAIL!
All threads completed. (Succeed 0 / Failed 1)
This happens whether I do just the firmware or firmware + PIT. Flashing PIT by itself will succeed and the phone changes to a message saying something about unsupported software and to turn my phone off and take it to Verizon. But it doesn't seem to change anything cause flashing FW still doesn't work. Almost identical error message using ODIN 3.09 figured I would try a newer version of ODIN.
Edit: After reading some more. It sounds like I might have a corrupted NAND which from what I read is only fixable by replacing MB. Is this true? If so how much would it cost to get repaired if I went to a samsung service center?

hello forum,
im new here so sorry if this is in the wrong section!
So my problem starts here, i previously Flashed a custom OS onto my phone, Cyanogen Mod 11, when i got bored of it i decided to download the Stock touchwiz android for my Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505, i proceeded to download Odin307, once i had the OS and Odin i opened Odin in Administrator, i choose my file which was extracted and i used the PDA option to choose it, all was fine until it encountered this error (<ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed.)
once that failed i tried to boot the phone where it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode ion Kies and try again" SO basically i can still get into the Download mode and can get to the Firmware upgrade error screen, that is all, is there a way to fix it? ive tried countless times to flash the stock touchwiz but get the same error message on odin! Please help!
What is the stock version you tied to flash?
Is the drivers installed and phone get recognised in the ODIN and device manager when in download mode?
Have you mistakenly or intentionally ticked re-partition in ODIN?
Did KIES run in background?
there is lot of threads here on XDA on same problem, try one of those our users have suggested like without closing ODIN and reflashing again.
try with another firmware file or ODIN version. here are some links I thought useful. google would help on searching "complete(write) operation failed".

okay, let us know update. repartitioning with pit file is last resort. its better not to play with it. bt if anything doesn't solve this, repartitioning with PIT file would be the last option to try. bt I would rather go for warranty if you have binary counter reseted.
and if you are trying to flash a rom without knox bootloader on a device that had been on knox this error is occurs mostly.

I'm not deleting the post since someone else may find this useful unless the mods think this post is noise. I do have one questions for the community: I would like to get to 4.4 and ideally, rooted. Does anyone with one of the first Verizon Note 2's have an experience similar to mine or advice on which route to take? Or should I just stick with OTA and forget root?
I need help getting my phone working. My original goal was to get a modified stock 4.4 ROM + root on my phone. My phone was 4.1.1 until I began this process. I tried to root via exynox, that failed, but using CF-Auto-Root (CF-Auto-Root-t0ltevzw-t0ltevzw-schi605.tar) worked. I added CWM, wiped data/cache, and tried to install this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607652 and this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765021. Similar to some of the messages in the ROM thread, I was stuck at the red screen. I followed krowley3's strategy here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52982544&postcount=41, I Odin'd back to 4.1, unlocked the phone again, got to 4.3, ran saferoot, tried to flash to 4.4, that failed updating the firmware - failed to write sboot.bin.
I tried the suggestion in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39299305 using the VRALJB update to Odin a new PDA. I did get this within the first month of release and didn't take any OTA, so per the warning, I used that version. No luck. Per advice in a thread I'm trying to find again, I Odin'd this PIT: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?05cj895zu3tls7z, which worked, tried to Odin the bootloader, but that fails at sboot.bin and says: Complete(Write) operation failed.
The status of my phone: it boots into recovery and I can install 4.1.1 stock. It still fails at the sboot when I try a bootloader. When I try to load the firmware, its stuck at the black screen that says "samsung galaxy note 2" and doesn't continue.
In trying to debug, I opened CASUAL-SuckItVerizon-Injection9 while it was loading (to see if it would spit out any logs) and it did something odd: it when I'm on the black screen, it keeps saying 'connected' and 'disconnected' and the adb server connects and disconnects. I'm not familiar enough with debugging these things to dig further. I can't abb to the phone via command line on Windows 7. When I go to Odin mode on the phone, it says:
Product Name: SCH-I605
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
KNOX WARRANY VOID: 0
AP SWREV: A2

I'm reading up on this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2690033, but I'd REALLY appreciate any advice you can give me. At this point, I want a working phone, rooted and at 4.4 (or 4.3) are nice-to-haves.
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious in the stickies - I'm getting stressed right now.
Hey all. I had Hypderdrive installed. I updated it to 21 but had a force close issue. I wiped to reinstall in safestrap and realized that I didn't have the ROM on the device anymore. Whoops. All of a sudden I had no OS and couldn't connect to the phone via USB to put the ROM onto it.
After trying some stuff I got a bit more stuck. I can only reboot into 3 places: 1) Download mode (with volume down) 2) stuck at samsung unlocked icon (no buttons pressed) and 3) default recovery mode (with volume up). I tried with Kies to just install the latest firmware, figuring I'd be happy with lollipop and just go ahead and get a new phone in the near future. That firmware upgrade process fails right when the status bar shows up on the screen. Now rebooting the phone says Software Update Failed.
What are my options via Kies, Odin, or something else to either get back to rooted Hyperdrive or just get the latest firmware up and running? Thanks!

F. Reset Time
NAND Erase All
Phone Bootloader Update
Phone EFS CLEAR
Thanks a ton. Haven't gotten it to work yet. I followed your directions and Odin fails with "SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 7, Binary : 6". My guess is that is a mismatch of the bootloader versions? I believe I was on NC5 before, so I tried flashing the No Wipe file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 and had no luck.
Any idea what version I should be trying to get it to work? Thanks for the help so far!
No. That means you are on lollipop Bootloader already! You have to flash lollipop

Yup. Learned that while I was thinking about it. Such is life, right? Currently trying to just get OC1 installed via Odin but it keeps failing late in the process with XmitData_Write. If anyone has an idea beyond changing cables and ports (which I'm doing now) then I'm all ears.
Quick update. I've been following the instructions and advice from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/help/unbrick-taking-oc1-t3122230
I have not yet gotten my phone working, but have made slight progress. I'm currently flashing from the Software Update Failed screen and not the Odin Download Mode screen. I've been checking all the listed boxes. I've tried flashing as CSC and as AP and it is now failing on the NON-HLOS.bin file. It's failed there 4 or 5 times now.
Any advice on what changes to try next?

the Single Service File goes in the CSC box. Not sure why it keeps failing, but my OPinion is that you should Try to Load into Recovery, Perform A Factory Data Reset then Try again!
Flash with the Check-Boxes befoire without the "Phone EFS Clear" option...When THe phone turns on....if it is The firmware Recovery screen...Flash there, if it is the Samsung LOGO, Pull the Battery, and LOAD into "Odin Mode" and Flash AGAIN There!

Thanks. I finally got it working. I'm not sure exactly what did it. I kept trying various combinations of flashing at CSC or AP and in Download mode and Software Upgrade Failed. I believe the one that actually took was the Sammobile stock OC1 file flashed as AP, but I'm not 100% and not sure that really is what made the difference. I did have all the options checked when it finally took.
After the Odin flash passed it did just boot to a black screen with the LED on solid blue. I went to recovery and did a factory reset and the phone booted up. Maybe that'll help someone else.
Don't have root anymore, but Lollipop seems like a very nice update coming from KK.
Thanks! - but still in trouble.
Spoke too soon!! Yours was the only one that actually loaded with Odin. After that phone will not reboot, just comes on for 2 seconds and then turns off. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried the following firmware versions, except for yours, they all get fused: 7 , binary : 6:
I545_VZW_I545VRUDMI1_I545VZWDMI1_Original
I545_VZW_I545VRUEMJ7_I545VZWEMJ7_Original
VZW-I545VRUFNC5-20140429111807
VZW-I545VRUFNG6-20141021092718
plus several others

Thanks, bricked my Verizon S4 and tried 5 different firmware files, including the ones from the Samsung site. Yours is the only one that worked.
Looks like you need to flash a more recent file. You'll probably have to go with the latest stock version without root.

Hi Guys after some help.
Ended up with a s6 edge, it was originally dropped in a bath, sent off for repair via a 3rd party shop, stayed there for 3 months and came back with factory binary installed on it! I know very little info on it other than it was on 5.02 and passed all hw tests I could do. It was brought from argos unlocked, used on O2 (assuming the same phone that went out came back!)
Just thought it needed a new rom flashing, so downloaded ODIN 3.10.6 and downloaded a 5.02 H3UK stock rom, failed at <ID:0/020> NAND Write Start!!
then I tried a 5.1.1 Vodafone rom and did the same. I then tried a 6.01 rom and it fails at <ID:0/020> cm.bin and now wont even boot into factory binary.
I tried the recovery via smart switch and it doesn't recognise the device to tell me what version of software I need!
I have also tried 2 different computers and a few different usb leads.
Any help would be much appreciated!

If it was bought from argos unlocked it will have generic firmware on it.
Flashing a 3 or Vodafone rom will not work as the partitions are different which is why you are getting fail.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/106963/G925FXXS4DPJ2_G925FBTU4DPH1_BTU/
Try to flash this and keep me updated.
Use odin 3.10.6 and ensure odin options are
Auto reboot checked
Repartition UNCHECKED
F.reset time checked
Try to use original Samsung cable.
Hey thanks for the help, i had to flash the 4dp recovery flash (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/downgrade-flash-4dpg2-official-rom-t3419745) then i tried that rom and got further but stuck on hidden.img, removed it from the zip, repacked and its now working fine thanks for the help
I bought an unlocked T-Mobile Note 10 and didn't want to see their stupid logo and bloatware and wanted to install the unlocked firmware. I downloaded the latest firmware as well as ODIN from Sammobile (https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-10/firmware/#SM-N970U1). I ran into two problems:
1. Getting stuck on the setupconnection step
2. <ID:0/007> FAIL! Model mismatch fail
I wanted to post my experience and how I overcame these problems. I hope it helps someone else facing these issues. I'm sure these are obvious to the experts, but for newbies like me, it took a some trial and error.
For the setup connection issue, what worked for me was:
1. Start Odin as admin
2. Start Odin first, then enter download mode on device and connect to the computer. Doing this the other way around always failed in getting stuck on setupconnection. If Odin fails, I had to redo this step, or I'd get this problem again.
For the FAIL! Model mismatch fail issue:
- Don't use Odin from SamMobile. Use the patched one. This is the one I used Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD from here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603883035
thanks for the warning/link. i just started looking at info to flash my verizon one to unlocked firmware.
edit2:
used yours and it gave me a missing INI fialure. used the one in here and it gave me the model mismatch fail...confused
edit2:
now it's failing with FAIL! (Auth)
My phone is Rev B2. I think the problem may be that the firmware I found is from Aug so it's probably an older revision ..FML
edit 3 ( or 4? who knows anymore):
I had another one which did have the B1 revision (I didn't take the fimrware update, on the other one, samsung shoved it down my proverbial throat). the one that worked has RP SWREV B1(1,1,1,1,1,1) K1S S1
The one that did not work has B2. I guess I need newer stock ROM files.

Did you ever get a successful flash to another firmware for your Verizon Note 10? I also have the Verizon model.
Thanks.
I think you need to download a Odin patched version, I have similar problem with a samsung s20+, try that and see it works
